Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Chapter 179: Count it all and make money

"So many apples?"

The woman reluctantly turned her gaze away from Cui Jingwen and said proudly, "These apples were exchanged by the villagers."

Lin didn't understand for a moment, but it's not good to ask too much about other people's affairs. After all, it's a good thing that she can make money.

Just as she was about to go back to her stall, the woman stopped her.

"I calculated these apples at home, and they can be exchanged for five cans of side dishes."

After saying that, he winked at Lin.

Lin was stunned. She looked at the apple on the ground and then at the woman with smiling eyes.

The woman was very honest and told the whole story frankly.

When I returned to the village yesterday, I stopped at the entrance for a while and chatted with the sisters I knew. When I got excited, I took out the side dishes I had just bought and generously invited them to taste them.

When the villagers saw the fresh food, they all started to study the seasonings and cooking methods.

The seasonings are easy to taste, in addition to salt, there are also sugar and vinegar. The old woman who is recognized as the best cook in the village raised her finger and firmly stated that sesame oil is also mixed in.

The seasoning was easy to guess, but no one could recognize what dish it was.

The news quickly spread in the village, and curious villagers came to inquire about it. As more and more people asked, someone asked her to help get a copy.

There are five servings in total.

Of course, not every family would use copper coins as collateral. Anyway, she was not picky. She would accept half-new jackets, needles and thread, and dried vegetables from her own home, as long as they could be used.

Anyway, the apples grew on her own tree, so she made some money.

Lin didn't speak for a long time, and the woman felt uneasy.

"This...can't be changed?"

Lin suddenly came back to her senses: "No, no, it can be changed."

She just admired the flexibility of the woman in front of her, so she didn't react for a while.

As long as it can be exchanged, it's fine. The woman immediately counted the apples, and Lin settled the bill at fifty apples for a can of side dishes.

There were more than 280 apples in total, and Lin gave her six cans of side dishes.

During the conversation, the two became more familiar with each other. Lin knew that her surname was Miao and she lived in a village a few miles outside the city.

When Miao knew that they came by ox cart, she immediately offered to help them load the apples onto the cart.

However, the side dishes have not been sold out yet, and Miao insisted on waiting until Lin closed his stall.

The Miao family’s apple trees are good. Although the fruits are small due to the drought, they are sour and sweet and crispy when bitten.

Lin planned to ask Miao for a few apple seedlings and plant them behind the house after her house was built.

There are also peaches, persimmons, etc., and several trees of each kind of fruit are planted.

There is no need to take special care of it, just eat as much as you can.

As I built the blueprint of the new house in my mind, I suddenly felt full of energy.

"Aunt Lin!"

Li Shi's loud voice came from afar, and when I looked up, he was right in front of me.

"I guessed you must be here." Li Shi specially changed his patrol shift around the West City and ran here as soon as he started his shift.

There are quite a few bamboo tubes on the stall today. A rough look shows that there are more than ten cans. That’s pretty good.

Li Shi looked up and found that Cui Jingwen was there too.

"Brother Cui is here too." Li Shi naturally hugged him and told him the good news in a low voice.

"The county magistrate was talking about you this morning."

Cui Jingwen leaned closer and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Thanks to his mother and sister, he has been like a mascot since he came here, winning all kinds of honors.

Could it be that the county magistrate is going to reward their family again this time?

"The county governor sent a letter praising our good governance, and the magistrates of several surrounding towns came to learn from our advice like dogs smelling meat..."

It is not good to talk about the county magistrate of another county, so Li Shi spoke in a low voice.

In any case, County Magistrate Wang has had a smile on his face for the past two days.
