Lin Bei handed the big bowl he was holding to Zhang Yanzi and said, "This is the mother who asked us to bring it over, saying that it was for Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin to taste the fried taste." ”

Zhang Yanzi wanted to say something, but the little dog pounced, looking at the bowl of cold tofu, and the halazi flowed to the collar.

"This Xiao Jiang is becoming more and more like a family member, although I don't know what she wants to do, but she finally stands up."

After Lin Bei and Lin Feng left, Zhang Yanzi said to Lin Yousheng.

Lin Yousheng said while eating: "That is, in the past, she was thinking about other people's babies all day long, so she looked at the two scholars and honored her after passing the exam, and asked me to say, just the faces of those two families, what good can they give her, it's good to break up!" ”

Zhang Yanzi nodded, and said with some concern: "That's so, but we are all croppers with their backs to the yellow sky and the soil, who will do these livelihoods, we can't help her, I'm worried that if she doesn't do it, she will have to fight a few more children......"

"If you want to do more, if you really talk about it then, eat a few more bites, it tastes weird."

The next day, Jiang Yan took the family up the mountain again, the main purpose of today is to find fairy tofu leaves and wild peppers, there is a mall, Jiang Yan has a greater certainty of finding wild peppers.

She calculated that a small half frame of green leaves can make a large pot of cold tofu, a pot can produce about sixteen or seventeen catties, if it is divided into small bowls to sell, it can probably hold sixty bowls, and if it is sold directly by block, it can also be cut into forty pieces.

These two baskets full of green leaves can probably produce four or five pots, and they can earn hundreds of dollars after calculating it, and then remove some costs, just look at how much money they can make, this is only the money of cold tofu, and the rice rolls have not been calculated.

But the premise is that things can be sold, if they can all be sold, there will be a lot of income, although it is still too little compared to the mall, but for the people of this village, it is already a huge amount of money.

After a busy day, the family came home, and after a simple dinner, they all started to get busy before it was dark.

Today's harvest was very good, and I found some wild mushrooms and wild vegetables that were in good condition.

When cooking at night, Wang Jinhua only used those mushrooms and wild vegetables that were not in good condition, and she kept them in complete and beautiful condition, so she pointed to the fact that her mother-in-law could sell them by the way when she went to the town tomorrow!

The wild vegetables were all washed, and Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaomeng divided the wild vegetables one by one, tied them with slender weeds and put them neatly.

Lin Dong and Lin Xi rubbed the green leaves inside the cloth bag vigorously and repeatedly, because they had already done it once yesterday, and they were much more skilled today.

This time, Jiang Yan deliberately prepared the grass and wood ash water early, and when the two of them made a pot, she began to add lime water in small quantities and stirred again and again until it was almost lumpy.

It wasn't until it was dark that Lin Yousheng came in carrying a round three-layer steamer, Jiang Yan's eyes were full of surprise, and he carefully looked inside and out, and made sure that it was what he wanted.

"Uncle Cripple saw that you were in a hurry, so he asked his two sons to help get it together, I thought it would be tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to be done today."

"The steamer and a few bamboo plates have a total of 42 wen, and I have already given the 20 wen you gave earlier."

Lin Yousheng put down the steamer and didn't enter the house, just stood outside the house, he knew that a few children must be making cold tofu, this is someone else's livelihood, he was afraid that he would accidentally see it.

Jiang Yan's face was full of joy: "Thank yousheng, this is the mushroom I picked in the mountains today, you take some back to eat, and by the way, tell Uncle Cripple, I will send the rest of the money to him tomorrow." ”

"This won't work, you can keep it and eat it! Also, the mountains are dangerous, and although there are many wild vegetables, you should not go in the future. ”

Jiang Yan nodded again and again, she still has to go to the deep mountains, but she also has to buy something for self-defense, she forcibly stuffed the mushrooms into Lin Yousheng's hands, Lin Yousheng couldn't refuse, so he had to take it and leave.

This night, Jiang Yan and the Lin family were busy until late, and the old house and the village chief also lit torches and stayed awake all night.

Yesterday afternoon, Jiang Yan said in the field that the business had spread throughout the village, everyone was waiting to see her jokes, and the Lin family's old house was full of anger, who would have thought that this old widow would also make food! The daughter-in-law who has been in the Lin family for more than ten years has not seen anything come out! It turned out to be holding back the good things......

They don't know if Jiang Yan's business will be successful, but it's not right to have food brought to them!

Today, he and the village chiefs of several nearby villages were going to the county government to talk about the drought, but they didn't expect to hear the news that the water supply in several other villages was about to be cut off.

As soon as he returned to the village, he immediately went to see the five wells in the village, and the bottomless wells had gradually revealed the sand and gravel at the bottom! No water, people of this village! No one can live!

It was another day, Jiang Yan was sleeping in a daze, but was woken up by a few children outside.

She got up and went out to see that it was Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaomeng with tears in their eyes, looking like they were about to cry.

"What's wrong? Are you two fighting? ”

When the two saw that it was Jiang Yan, they immediately closed their voices and walked over.

"Mother, I've woken you up, it's the daughters-in-law who are wrong."

The voices of the two were slightly crying, rather hoarse.

"What's wrong? What about them, boss? Why are you two at home? ”

Wang Jinhua said: "Mother, two of the five wells in our village were found to be dry today!" The remaining three wells have also bottomed out......"

Liu Xiaomeng: "Big brother, they all went to the village to gather, where have all the people in the village gone now." ”

Jiang Yan frowned, it's difficult now, she can still find a way without food, but where can she get it without water?

Even if it can be bought in the mall, how can she take it out?

I thought it was not urgent to go to the mountains to find water, but it seemed imminent.

"What if there's no water? What did the village chief say? ”

"The village chief said that the Jiangjiazhai side is closer to us, and if the five wells dry up, we can only go there to carry water to eat first, and the Jiangjiazhai side has more water than us, and it is the only one in several villages that has not yet seen the bottom."

Jiang Yan frowned, thinking that the reputation of the original body in Jiangjiazhai was not good, "What if Jiangjiazhai is unwilling?" ”

Wang Jinhua's tears grew bigger and bigger when she heard this: "If they are unwilling to lend us water, we can only ask a few villages farther away, if they are unwilling, we can only ...... Fleeing the ......"

The two were obviously afraid of escaping, their expressions were full of sorrow, and Jiang Yan couldn't help it, unless she could find a water source as soon as possible.

Even if several other villages are willing to borrow water, but the distance is long, the nearest Jiangjiazhai has to walk for an hour, and it will take two hours to go back and forth, and it is not enough to carry a load of water, let alone go to other villages that are farther away.

Besides, this is not a long-term solution, even if you can borrow water from other villages for a short time, what about such a long time? Since the wells in Linjia Village will dry up, it is estimated that it will be sooner or later in several other villages.
