"Mom, that's our own business that makes money. If outsiders find out, won't it cause trouble for us? We should do it ourselves."

When Zhao heard this, she stopped talking. She had originally wanted to find Er Laizi from the village to investigate first.

This idiot's parents died early, and he has been doing nothing all day. He can get away with it with just a few coins, and he can get away with it even if he is caught.

But on second thought, Er Laizi's character is indeed unreliable. If he knows about it, wouldn't it be a leak of the family's secret recipe? How can we make money then?

"You've been very thoughtful. If that's the case, go there by yourself tonight. If the business is successful, it will be yours."

Zhao thought that if the business was successful, she could get some credit, but if it failed, it would be embarrassing to be caught. She couldn't run fast, so she might suffer a loss.

Li Manying was the one who took the lead in this matter, so naturally she had to take care of it herself.

"Okay, I'll go by myself."

Li Manying said "Pah" in her heart, she knew Zhao would say that.

But it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t go. The old woman is clumsy and it’s not likely that she will be implicated if she makes any noise.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law planned for the whole afternoon, feeling excited and nervous, as if they would have a lot of money coming in tomorrow.

Cheng Yue went home and told Chen An about being followed by Li Manying today, and then went about doing what she had to do.

She had her own plans for the evening. Even if she didn't come, she still had a way to teach Li Manying a lesson.

Some people only have so many tricks up their sleeves, and Cheng Yue is too lazy to think about it any more. It would be better to spend that time thinking about starting a business and making some money.

In fact, she already has an idea about business, but she currently has limited capital, so she can only manage the current noodle business.

After all, no one can become rich overnight. Business matters can be done slowly. If you take big steps, you may fail easily...

Now that the family has more than a dozen chickens, Chen Lin and his two siblings have something to do. Every day at noon, they come back from the stall, eat, and run up the mountain with baskets on their backs.

Either catching insects or digging wild vegetables, he never has time to sit still.

After just having dinner today, the three of them prepared to go up the mountain again. Chen Lin also said that he would take a look at the land at home.

The ten acres of land were all next to the riverbank, right next to the land of the village head, so the Zhang Dashan brothers helped to look after it.

If Chen Lin hadn't reminded her, Cheng Yue would have almost forgotten about this matter as she was busy setting up the stall every day.

Since she had nothing to do this afternoon, she thought of going to the fields with Chen Lin and the others and taking a look around.

It's been several days since she came here, but she still hasn't gotten to know Houshui Village well. This is really wrong.

The original owner was a person who seldom went out except to do laundry, and he had no memory of the village at all.

Cheng Yue said hello to Chen An and followed Chen Lin and the others out the door.

The wheat fields were all at the foot of the mountain, so they had to go down the mountain, pass the village and walk further down before they could reach the fields.

Cheng Yue walked and observed the entire village. It was somewhat similar to her own home in her previous life, surrounded by mountains on all sides.

However, the mountain is not particularly high and the slope is not steep, just a gentle slope.

Because of this, the hillside became the first choice for the whole village to build houses. After all, it is safer than building at the foot of the mountain.

There is a river at the foot of the mountain, and continuous heavy rains in summer can easily cause floods.

The few of them walked all the way to the foot of the mountain, where they came across a large, open stretch of flat land with a winding river about ten meters wide in the middle, and cultivated fields along the riverbanks.

The water flows slowly, and most of the water is just deep enough to cover an adult's knees. Only the water near the river bank or under the cliff is dark green, and is estimated to be three or four meters deep.

Their ten acres of land was just on the other side of the river. There was no bridge, only a dozen huge stones spanning the river.

Cheng Yue followed Chen Lin and the other two, stepping on the stones to cross the river. Suddenly, their eyes lit up. The sunlight shone into the water, which was filled with small fish with silvery white bellies.

"There are so many fish! Xiaolin, give me the basket quickly."

Chen Lin looked back and saw Cheng Yue staring at the river with shining eyes. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Mom, this fish has too many bones and little meat. It's not easy to eat."

Then he pointed to the right and said, "The fish in that bay are big. I saw the villagers catch them."

In the past, when he was asked by his grandmother to fetch water, he saw people catching fish and heard that they could exchange them for money in the town.

But they have the skills to catch fish, otherwise they would not dare to go to such deep places, it's scary just looking at them.

Cheng Yue looked in the direction Chen Lin pointed and saw the green pond. The water was so deep, the fish must be big and delicious.

Pickled fish, braised fish, sweet and sour fish, fried fish... Cheng Yue swallowed her saliva. It had been a long time since she had eaten fish.

"The water there is deep, so we should not go over there. You guys should stay away from running around, okay? If you want to eat fish, we can just find someone to buy it for you."

Every summer vacation, countless kids get into accidents when playing by the river. It’s better to stay away from deep water. It’s not safe even if you can swim, not to mention that she can’t swim.

"We know, mother."

Chen Lin and the other two nodded. Their father told them that Uncle Heidan had drowned in the water, so they decided not to go play in the river.

The child is sensible and worry-free. Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Let's go. Let's not think about the fish. Let's go to the fields first. We still have to go up the mountain later."

The cool breeze blew, the wheat waves undulated, and Cheng Yue felt healed when she saw the scenery in front of her.

Then I picked an ear of wheat. The grains were full, a sign of a good harvest. Then I rubbed a grain and put it in my mouth. It tasted the unique sweet juice of wheat.

Cheng Yue, Chen Lin and others walked around the wheat field. There were very few weeds. It was obvious that Chen An and the original owner had taken good care of it.

In addition, the Zhang Dashan brothers have really been taking care of them these days. Cheng Yue looked around and saw that Zhang Dashan and his brothers had not come to the fields yet.

I was thinking of buying some meat and sending it over to show my appreciation when I get back from my stall tomorrow.

After leaving the wheat field, Cheng Yue and his party returned to the mountain along the same route. In fact, most of the hills in the village are unowned.

The hill they owned was built there because the Chen family's ancestral home was built there, and Chen An's father happened to have some wealth, so he bought the hill as well.

Otherwise, even if the villagers are rich, they will give priority to buying land. In their minds, food is the most important thing, and the mountains are worthless because they can't produce any crops.

Having not yet finished exploring her own mountain, Cheng Yue had no intention of wandering around other mountains. After all, they were all mountains from the same place, and the things growing there were pretty much the same.

So we just returned the same way.

After reaching the mountain, Chen Lin started catching insects. Sisters Chen Tong and Chen Ning were a little afraid of insects, so they carried small baskets to dig wild vegetables and cut grass for pigs.

Cheng Yue looked up at the mountain. Apart from some low weeds, the most common plant was vitex. Vitex would bloom lavender flowers in the summer and was very fragrant.

The vitex is not famous, but the vitex flower honey is famous, which is known as one of the "four famous honeys" and has the effects of moistening the lungs and spleen, nourishing the kidneys and replenishing qi.

When she was a child, someone in the village raised honey bees, and she grew up drinking honeysuckle honey.

I really want to drink honeysuckle water~
