Lin Bei handed the big bowl he was holding to Zhang Yanzi and said, "My mother asked us to bring it here, so that Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin can also taste the fried taste."

Zhang Yanzi wanted to say something else, but Coyotito rushed over to him. Looking at the bowl of cold tofu, his tongue dripped onto his collar.

"Xiao Jiang is becoming more and more like a family member. Although I don't know what she wants to do, she has finally stood up."

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

Lin Yousheng said while eating: "That's because she used to miss other people's children all day long, and she hoped that the two scholars would be filial to her after passing the exam. Let me tell you, with the faces of those two families, what can I give her? It’s better to break up!”

Zhang Yanzi nodded and said with some worry: "That's what I say, but we are all farmers with our backs to the sky and our faces to the soil. Who can do these things? We can't help her. I'm worried that if she does something It’s not a good idea to teach a few more children..."

"What do you want to do? Let's wait until then. Eat a few more bites, it tastes really good."

The next day, Jiang Yan took her family up the mountain again. Today's main purpose was to find fairy tofu leaves and wild chili peppers. With the mall there, Jiang Yan was more confident about finding wild chili peppers.

She calculated that a small half-frame of green leaves could make a large pot of cold tofu. One pot could weigh about 16 to 7 kilograms. If it was divided into small bowls and sold, it could hold about 60 bowls. If it was sold directly in pieces, it would also be enough. Can be cut into about forty pieces.

The green leaves filled in these two baskets can probably produce four or five pots. Calculating, you can earn a few hundred yuan. After deducting some costs, let's see how much money you can earn. This is only the cost of cold tofu. Over there rice rolls haven't been calculated yet.

But the premise is that the things can be sold. If you can sell them all, you can make a lot of income. Although it is still too little compared to the mall, but for the people in this village, it is already a lot of money. A huge sum of money.

After a busy day, the family returned home. After having a simple dinner, they all started to get busy while it was still dark.

Today's harvest was very good. I found some wild mushrooms and wild vegetables that were of good quality.

When cooking in the evening, Wang Jinhua only used those mushrooms and wild vegetables that were not in good condition. She kept the ones that were in good and beautiful condition, hoping that she could sell them when her mother-in-law went to town tomorrow!

The wild vegetables were all washed. Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaomeng divided the wild vegetables into handfuls and tied them with slender weeds and placed them neatly.

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

This time, Jiang Yan deliberately prepared the lime water early. After the two of them finished making a basin, she started adding lime water in small amounts and stirring constantly until it was almost lumpy.

It wasn't until it got completely dark that Lin Yousheng came in carrying a round three-layer steamer. Jiang Yan was filled with surprise. She looked inside and outside carefully and determined that it was what she wanted.

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

"The steamer and a few bamboo plates total 42 cents. I have already given the 20 cents you gave me to Uncle Cripple."

Lin Yousheng put down the steamer and stood outside the house without entering the house. He knew that several children must be making cold tofu. This was their livelihood, and he was afraid that he would accidentally see it.

Jiang Yan's face was full of joy: "Thank you, Yousheng. These are the mushrooms I picked in the mountains today. You can take some back to eat. By the way, tell Uncle Cripple that I will send the remaining money to him tomorrow."

"That's not okay, you can keep it to eat! Also, the mountains are dangerous, and although there are many wild vegetables, you'd better not go there in the future."

Jiang Yan nodded repeatedly. She still had to go to the mountains, but she also had to buy something for self-defense. She forced the mushrooms into Lin Yousheng's hands. Lin Yousheng couldn't refuse, so he had to take them away.

That night, Jiang Yan and the Lin family worked very late, and the old house and the village chief also stayed up all night with torches on.

Yesterday afternoon, Jiang Yan's talk about doing business in the fields had spread throughout the village. Everyone was waiting to see her joke. The Lin family's house was filled with anger. Who would have thought that this old widow could still cook!

The daughter-in-law of the Lin family for more than ten years has never done anything! It turns out she is just holding back good things...

They don’t know whether Jiang Yan’s business will succeed, but it’s wrong not to bring them food when they have something to eat!

The old village chief, on the other hand, had a look of death on his face. Today he and the village chiefs of several other nearby villages were going to the county government office to discuss the drought situation. Unexpectedly, they heard the news that several other villages were about to lose water.

As soon as he returned to the village, he immediately went to see the five wells in the village. The wells that used to be bottomless had gradually revealed the sand and gravel at the bottom! Without water, no one in this village could survive!

It's another new day. Jiang Yan was drowsily asleep but was woken up by several children outside.

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

"What's going on? Are you having a fight?"

When they saw it was Jiang Yan, they immediately stopped talking and came over.

"Mom, I woke you up. It's my daughter-in-law's fault."

The voices of the two were slightly crying and somewhat hoarse.

"What happened? Where are the boss and the others? Why are you two the only ones at home?"

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

Liu Xiaomeng: "Brother, they all went to the village to gather. Where are all the people in the village gone now?"

Jiang Yan frowned, it was going to be difficult now. She could think of a way out without food, but where would she get it without water?

Even if she can buy it in the mall, how should she take it out?

I thought it wasn't urgent to go deep into the mountains to find water, but it seems it is.

"What if there is no water? What did the village chief say?"

"The village chief said that Jiangjiazhai is closer to us. If all five wells dry up, we have to go there to fetch water first. Jiangjiazhai has more water than us, and it is the only one among several villages.

It hasn’t bottomed out yet.”

Jiang Yan frowned, thinking about her bad reputation in Jiangjiazhai, "What if Jiangjiazhai is not willing?"

Wang Jinhua's tears grew bigger and bigger when she heard this: "If they are not willing to lend us water, we can only ask a few villages further away. If they are not willing, we can only...escape...

…”

The two of them were obviously afraid of escaping, and their expressions were full of sadness. Jiang Yan had nothing to do unless she could find a water source as soon as possible.

Even if several other villages are willing to borrow water, the distance is far. The nearest Jiangjiazhai requires an hour's walk, and the round trip only takes two hours. And only one load of water is not enough, let alone going to other places farther away.

The village.
