You are my golden finger

It is said that after the clan leader's family had a dinner with lots of meat that was comparable to the New Year's Eve dinner, the clan leader, who was in high spirits, asked his wife to take out the tea leaves that he usually didn't want to drink, boil a pot of tea, and started a rare after-dinner chat with his children and grandchildren.

The clan leader talked about how Lin Xijin packed wild boars and distributed pork today. He felt that although this child came from a hard life and was still young, he was quite experienced in his work.

When Lin Jianan heard his father say this, he immediately took out the two taels of silver given by Lin Xijin from his chest and put it on the coffee table. He said mysteriously to everyone: "I made two taels of silver today. Do you know how I made it?"

Although two taels of silver is not a lot, some people in the countryside may not be able to earn it in a year. Even Lin Jianan and his colleagues usually do carpentry work, which makes money easier, but it may take a month or so to earn it. So everyone is very curious about how Lin Jianan earned it today.

The clan elder glared at him and said, "Just show off your ability, why don't you speak up?"

Lin Jianan didn't dare to act funny anymore, and quickly told Lin Xijin about what happened in the restaurant today. He then said with emotion, "I think the shopkeeper will definitely be in Jin girl's hands. Tomorrow, he will definitely ask Jin girl to cooperate with him. Jin girl and her two siblings will have a good life. How come Jin girl suddenly became so capable?"

When the clan leader heard her son say this, she immediately lowered her voice and said to everyone, "Ms. Jiang accused Jin of being possessed by an evil spirit, but I don't think that's the case at all. Jin is kind-hearted and she thinks of everyone when she has something to eat. These days, Grandma Qi has also been enjoying the good life with them."

"I was worried that Jin might be hurt by a wild boar this morning, so I asked her a few more questions. But Huier told me not to worry. He told me that Jin was very capable. When she fainted after being pushed against the door by Jiang, she was rescued by an old immortal. They say that one day on earth equals a hundred years in heaven. She learned a lot of skills from the old immortal in heaven for more than ten years!"

The whole family listened to the words of the clan leader's grandmother and their eyes widened in surprise.

Farmers have little knowledge and are particularly likely to believe in these strange and supernatural things.

After a long silence, the clan leader said to the family, "Everyone should help Jin girl in the future. The furniture she wants must be made of good wood. Work hard these two days and send it to her after Mu Xiong helps her repair the house. Jianan, put down your work tomorrow and see if Jin girl is going to town. If she is, give her a ride. Old woman, you should also keep an eye on Jin girl and don't let her be bullied by Jiang. As a junior, Jin girl shouldn't do anything to Jiang. We, the elders, have to protect her."

The older the better, the clan leader’s old foxy mode is turned on... Hey!

After a good night's sleep, Lin Xijin took her brother and sister to the mountains to exercise and pick wild vegetables and herbs. The two little ones envied Sun Wukong's skills and were not afraid of being tired. They practiced kung fu very enthusiastically.

The clouds reflected the sun's halo from the sky, shining on the valley, and the valley began to become bright. The morning mist lingered in the mountains, and the three people were in it, as if they were in a fairyland.

"Sister, the mornings here are so beautiful!" Xijia exclaimed. Xihui also nodded in agreement.

"As long as you discover it carefully, there are beautiful scenery everywhere in nature." Lin Xijin said this philosophically, looking at the mountains and rivers far and near, she felt very comfortable. She secretly made a decision that she would build this place into a paradise and live here after completing her mission in this life.

Lin Xijin practiced with the two for a while, then went to check the trap. Perhaps the smell of blood was too strong and had not yet dissipated, so no prey fell into it today.

He sprinkled some spiritual spring water into the trap, threw two fruits in, and then took his younger brother and sister home.

After breakfast, Uncle Muxiong and Uncle Jianan came. Uncle Muxiong continued to help repair the house, while Uncle Jianan asked Lin Xijin if she wanted to go to the town to find the shopkeeper to discuss cooperation. Lin Xijin thought that she had an appointment with the shopkeeper yesterday, so she might as well go there and buy some cloth and cotton to make some quilts. She felt uncomfortable sleeping on the hard bed these days.

He packed some braised meat and picked up a few packets of herbs, told Grandma Qi and his younger brothers and sisters, and went to the town with Uncle Jianan.

When they arrived in town, Lin Xijin asked Uncle Jianan to wait for her at the restaurant first.

Lin Xijin first went to the drugstore to sell a few bags of herbs. Because this time they included Gastrodia elata and Dendrobium officinale, they sold them for more than one hundred taels of silver.

I threw the banknotes into the space, and went to the store where I bought clothes last time, and bought cloth and cotton for clothes and quilts. I estimated that the house would be repaired tomorrow, so I asked the shopkeeper to deliver the things to my house tomorrow.

Seeing that Lin Xijin bought so many things, the shopkeeper readily agreed.

After finishing these things, Lin Xijin staggered to the restaurant.

When the shopkeeper saw her coming, he hurried over to greet her and said happily, "Miss Lin, you are here. My master is waiting in the backyard."

The shopkeeper took her to the backyard. When she entered the house, she saw a young man drinking tea with Uncle Jianan. It was obvious that Uncle Jianan was a little nervous.

The man was wearing a sky-blue robe, and he looked elegant and handsome. His skin was white as jade, but a little yellow. The clothes were a little empty on him, and he was thin, like a paper man. He would cough from time to time, and it was obvious that he was not in good health.

The shopkeeper took Lin Xijin in and introduced the man to her, saying that he was the owner of the restaurant.

The man said politely, "Ms. Lin, please sit down!" and poured a cup of tea for Lin Xijin.

The man said to her straight away, "Miss Lin, our restaurant can cooperate with you and give you 30% of the bonus, which will be settled every month. But you have to provide at least two recipes every month. The seasonings will be charged separately, but can only be sold to this restaurant."

After listening to the man's words, Lin Xijin felt that the other party was quite honest and was satisfied with the terms of cooperation. So she negotiated the prices of various seasonings with the man, signed the contract, gave each person a copy, and asked the servant to take a copy to the government office for filing.
