The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"Hey! Yang Laosan's family."

Lin Zhi turned his head and looked to the left where the sound came from.

There stood a woman in her thirties, holding two large cabbages in her hands, and she shouted to Lin Zhi:

"Yang Laosan's family, I'll give you two large cabbages to take home and eat."

"you are?"

Lin Zhi looked at her in confusion, with no information about this person in his mind.

It was definitely a woman I didn't know.

"I'm your neighbor. Look, this is my home." The woman pointed to the yard behind her.

"My last name is Zhang, and my husband's last name is Zhao, so the villagers either call me Aunt Zhang or Aunt Zhao. It doesn't matter which one you want to call me."

Aunt Zhang was originally in her own yard. After hearing Lin Zhi's question, she crossed her own fence and came to Lin Zhi's fence.

"When you first moved in, your husband passed away, so you didn't get any housewarming gifts. My husband is superstitious about these things, so he didn't send any."

Aunt Zhang was a warm-hearted person. Before Lin Zhi even opened his mouth, she started talking a lot.

"As soon as March 7th came, my wife asked me to send the gifts over. But we are poor, and the gifts we send to you are not good things. I hope you don't mind."

As Aunt Zhang spoke, she handed over the thing in her hand.

"Thank...thank you!"

After thinking about it, Lin Zhi reached out and took it.

It was also at this time that Lin Zhi discovered that in addition to the two cabbages, she also had two eggs in her hand.

"This egg?"

If there were just two cabbages, she would have picked them, but since there were two extra eggs, Lin Zhi hesitated.

Before she traveled through time, eggs were just an ordinary food ingredient, but here they are a great tonic and extremely precious.

"Take it and take good care of yourself. You're the only one the children can rely on now." Aunt Zhang persuaded her after seeing her hesitation.

Lin Zhi took it quickly.

It wasn't that she was greedy for the two eggs, she just simply wanted Aunt Zhang to stop looking at her with such pitiful eyes.

She had no resistance to that look.

If she doesn't put away that look, she won't be able to bear it for long before she starts hitting someone.

"That's right, that's right." After Aunt Zhang saw her take it, her pitiful look turned into a look of relief.

Lin Zhi: This look is right.

Lin Zhi's straightforward approach won Aunt Zhang's heart, so she told Lin Zhi about her principles.

"Hide these two eggs and eat them yourself. Don't be like those people in the village who give all the good things to their children. Instead of praying that your children will be filial to their parents and live a good life when they grow up, it is better to live a good life while you are young.

We women have a hard life. It is still unknown whether we can live until the children grow up. Besides, even if the children grow up, they have no future at all. At that time, let alone relying on them to live a good life, it would be good enough if we don’t have to pay for them. "

If the locals heard this statement, they would definitely spit at Aunt Zhang.

But the person who heard this was Lin Zhi from the new era. She felt that this made sense. So she responded obediently:

"Listen to Auntie."

"Hey! Hey!" Aunt Zhang was relieved: "Then you continue to be busy. Come to me for help if you have any problems."

After saying goodbye to Aunt Zhang, Lin Zhi returned to the stove.

The water that had just been poured out was no longer that hot. She took it and gulped it down, which made her empty stomach feel less uncomfortable.

After drinking, she rinsed the bowl, scooped out another bowl of hot water to let it cool, then took half of the rice, washed it clean and put it into the pot to cook.

"Mom, can I help you?!"

Lin Zhi turned around and saw a girl of about eight or nine years old standing behind her, looking at her with eyes that were three parts uneasy, three parts nervous, and four parts determined.

Looking at the girl's face, relevant information immediately emerged in my memory.

The child in front of her was one of the three children she had just moved to another bed at great pains.

He is also the eldest of the three burdens taken over by this body.

"Now that you're awake, drink that bowl of water."

Lin Zhi pointed to the bowl of water that she scooped out for the first time, and then continued to cook her porridge.

Upon hearing this, the little girl ran over and drank the water directly, then said firmly again:

"Mom, let me help you!"

She didn't even wait for Lin Zhi to react and snatched the spoon from her hand:

"Mom, I'm here, you can do other things."

Lin Zhi: ...

what?

Why does this kid act like he is a monster?

Lin Zhi complained in his heart, and then the scene of his original self entering the kitchen on one of the few occasions appeared in his mind.

The first time was when she just returned to the mountain village.

Her sister-in-law said in a sarcastic tone that she was afraid to live and asked her to share the housework.

The original owner was a daughter of an official family and had never done such work before, so she didn’t know how to do it.

She also told the Yang family that she wouldn't.

But the people in the Yang family thought that she just didn't want to work and that's why she said that. They were very angry.

So, the original person was supposed to cook dinner with her sisters-in-law that day, but in the end she cooked it herself.

Look, this is what we did.

She burned down the kitchen.

The farmer's kitchen was full of firewood, and once the fire started, it grew bigger in an instant.

When the Yang family discovered the fire, they were only busy saving the food in the kitchen. By the time they came to their senses and tried to put out the fire, the entire kitchen had been burned to ashes.

Fortunately, the villagers came to put out the fire in time, and no one was injured except in the kitchen.

In terms of property, there was no other loss except for a kitchen full of firewood.

Because of this matter, the two elders of the Yang family were in a gloomy mood for several days, and the Yang family members were even more dissatisfied with the original body.

For a long time, no one mentioned letting her into the kitchen.

Enter the kitchen for the second time.

The consequences of her first time entering the kitchen were so great that no one mentioned it again for a while.

But we all live under the same roof, and it’s okay if we don’t work for a day or two, but if we don’t work every day, anyone would feel unbalanced.

Now, her lovely sisters-in-law have once again suggested that she work in the kitchen.

This time when she entered the kitchen, her sister-in-law kept reminding her not to let sparks fly out of the stove.

The original body was also frightened and kept staring at the stove obediently.

Nothing went wrong this time. When the fire in the stove was completely burned out, no sparks came out.

The original body and her sister-in-law both breathed a sigh of relief.

Who knew that I would let out a sigh of relief too early.

Knowing that her original body had never been to the kitchen, the food she cooked this time was not for people, but for the two pigs raised at home.

Therefore, the original body's sister-in-law focused on her own stove, and as for the original body's stove, she only asked that it be fine as long as it didn't catch fire and burn down the house.

And she always reminded the original body not to let sparks appear and to keep an eye on the stove.

So I didn't think about observing the situation in the pot.
