Fang Cuihua and Guangdan had been dawdling in the noisy sounds of Lijia Village all morning. Not long after they washed, boiled water, and ate some black-floured pancakes, Lin Erniu and his wife arrived.

"Uncle, you have brought all these things, right? There are so many!" Guangdan sat on the threshold of the main room, wiped his face and said in disbelief.

"Hehehe, I brought them all. I was thinking of setting up the stall early tomorrow morning." Lin Erniu said as he started unloading the goods.

"You went out in the middle of the night. It's only been a while since you arrived." Fang Cuihua thought that this couple was really working hard.

You know, the roads near Linjia Village are all in the mountains and forests, and you can hardly see the roads at night without torches.

"Well, we set out at night, hoping to arrive earlier." Cao Lian also smiled and took down several cloth bags from the ox cart.

Guangdan stretched out his hand to take it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his second uncle and second aunt were now in different spirits and vibes. Although they were not dull before, they were also taciturn, but now it seemed that there was a sparkle in their eyes when they spoke.

Well, this is probably the light of hope.

"Guangdan and I have cleaned the house, and I'll unload the things. You can take them into the house, so that it will be easier to find the things you put there later." Fang Cuihua said as she pushed Lin Erniu and Cao Lian away, and started moving things directly on the ox cart, humming and laughing.

The things they brought from Linjia Village this time mainly included a cart selling snacks and jars of various sizes for storing pickles and salted vegetables.

Other items such as mattresses, clothes, and cotton wool were all considered small items. Although these things seemed like a lot, the four of them cleaned them up quickly and they were all unloaded in a short while.

Guangdan was very tactful in taking his precious calf to the grass next to the village. This kind of job was usually not his turn, but today his second uncle was really unable to do it, so Guangdan got the job.

After discussion at home, the pickles were handed over to the family. Now Grandma Lin has mastered the skill of making pickles and is responsible for leading people to make pickles at home. The finished pickles are directly transported to Lijia Village by ox cart.

The main reason is that there are a lot of vegetables in the fields during this season, so we pickle more of them while it is a good harvest season. After the snow falls in winter, there will be no fresh vegetables.

While Guangdan was still working as a cowherd in the grassland, Lin Erniu took his purse and went to the butcher's house that he had asked Mr. Li for advice on to buy meat.

Although he wanted to buy pig's head, what he got when he came back were pig's trotters, pig's tails, and pig's offal. It's not possible to buy pig's head every day. Fortunately, Lin Erniu had reserved a pig's head from the butcher for tomorrow.

I also bought some dried tofu and bean curd leaves from the tofu shop. By the time I got back, the kitchen was almost cleaned up.

Cao Lian and Fang Cuihua put the pork food in a basket, carried a wooden basin they brought from home, and went to the river.

Lijia Village also has a pond. Most villagers wash clothes and vegetables in the pond, but Cao Lian thinks it is better to go to a river a little further away to wash the pig offal at home.

To avoid gossip from the sophisticated people in the village, this man is unfamiliar with the place, so it is better to be cautious in doing things.

At noon, they still had a simple meal. Fortunately, Uncle and Aunt brought a lot of vegetables. Guangdan felt that he had no ideas for lunch, so he had to make some braised meat for dinner.

After lunch, the group was not in a hurry to braise the meat. Although it is autumn now, the temperature is not low and the weather is still a bit hot. It is not good to braise the meat too early.

Lin Erniu and his wife chose to go directly to the city. They didn't need to buy firewood and rice, but they had to go to the city to sell salt, soy sauce and other spices.

There are also some small miscellaneous items, such as oil paper, which need to be prepared before setting up the stall to avoid being in a hurry tomorrow.

But the mother and son still felt bored.

"Mom, how much can you sell tomorrow?" Guangdan asked curiously, holding his chin.

"What your second uncle bought today must be sold out tomorrow. The sooner you sell them out, the sooner you can go back. If you can't sell them out in the morning, you can continue selling them in the afternoon." Fang Cuihua said as she was also a little craving for the braised pork.

"What time does the city gate close?"

"At the end of the Shen period."

Shenshi is between 3pm and 5pm, and the end of Shenshi is 5pm. Guangdan nodded as he thought about it. In ancient times, most cities had a curfew, and the curfew was only lifted during several major festivals.

It was already mid-afternoon when Lin Erniu and his wife returned from the county town. Without saying much, they took action.

Soon the kitchen chimney was emitting smoke that floated into the air. Guangdan felt that the three of them could handle the situation perfectly, so he lazily sat on the kitchen threshold and stared blankly.

I don’t know how many eggs the chickens at home have laid in the past two days, and I don’t know how the ducklings at home will taste if they are braised?

Thinking of this, Guangdan immediately turned his head and said, "When winter comes and the weather gets cold, let's kill the little male duck at home and stew it to see if anyone wants to buy it."

"Braised duck? Okay, logically someone should buy it." Cao Lian agreed immediately.

Guangdan nodded his head and thought that someone must be selling it. Isn’t this braised duck?

You don't need to keep too many rooster ducks at home. Keep the female ducks for laying eggs and keep a few rooster ducks. The rest can be slaughtered. Thinking of this, I chuckled.

If the braised duck is successful, we can then make a roast duck and finally open a duck restaurant.

Hehehehe, it's obviously a very serious way of making a living by eating, why does Guangdan feel that he is getting more and more crooked the more he thinks about it?

Because pig intestines have the strongest flavor, they are braised separately this time. After preparing the spices and lighting the firewood on the stove, there is nothing else to do.

All that's left is to wait for the fire to slowly burn.

At this time, Lin Erniu did not rest either. After walking around the woodshed, he carried out all the large wooden blocks and chopped firewood with an axe in the yard.

"Uncle, we have to buy firewood. It's a bit far to transport it from home." Guangdan asked curiously, looking at the empty firewood room.

"I'll go out and ask around later. Mainly, making braised food requires firewood every day. It's okay now, but when the weather gets cold, it will be hard to buy things." Lin Erniu said with a naive smile.

"If it's cheaper, just buy it here directly. It will take two days to transport it back and forth from home." Guangdan said this, but in his heart he felt that according to the personalities of his second uncle and his father, the firewood would most likely have to be transported from home.

Because the terrain here in the county is much flatter, firewood will definitely be more expensive than in the town, and I will definitely not be willing to spend the money, so I can only take care of the cattle at home.

Next, send firewood every few days and also some vegetables.
