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

Chapter 257 Lost

Silang noticed someone coming, looked up, and after seeing that it was his third aunt, he lowered his head deeply again.

He is a little confused now.

I originally thought that I had grown a lot during this period, and they would be able to eat and dress warmly, and no longer have to go hungry like before. They also learned a few words from their third brother and could walk on the road with their backs straight.

But today I suddenly realized that all my efforts seemed to be in vain.

Just now, he even had an idea of giving his mother a large sum of money so that she would stay away from them and stop having any ideas about them.

But he didn't have that much money, not even enough to pay the betrothal gift his mother had collected.

"Aunt San, am I useless?"

The voice came out muffled and sounded very lost.

There happened to be two evergreen stones stacked up next to her, reserved for sitting on to cool off on summer nights. Lin brushed off the dust on the stone bench and sat down gently.

"Whether it's useful or not is up to you to define. What do you think?"

Shi Lang didn't say anything. After a while, he said dejectedly, "I don't know. I just feel like I can't help. I don't know what to do."

The autumn wind has been chilly these days. Sitting in the shade, the wind kept blowing into her collar. Lin couldn't help but wrap her clothes tightly. Instead of responding to the previous question, she asked about another matter.

"I didn't bother to ask you yesterday, what did you gain from your trip to Lindong County?"

Speaking of this, Shiro's voice became even more muffled.

"No, I asked several restaurants and offered them food samples, but they didn't seem interested."

Lin then asked, "Have you noticed what the signature dishes of Lindong County restaurants are?"

Si Lang didn't expect Aunt San to ask this. He looked up blankly, tried to recall for a moment, and said hesitantly, "The signs hanging on the wall of the restaurant over there seem to be all about fish, shrimp, and the like."

He doesn't recognize many words, only the basic commonly used words.

Lin nodded. She had never eaten at a restaurant in Lindong County, so she didn't know what dishes were served there, but restaurants in Linhai basically focused on seafood.

"Have you ever been to the docks?"

Shiro scratched his head. Pier?

"There doesn't seem to be any restaurants near the pier. I...I didn't go there."

Lin smiled.

When Silang moved, he suddenly found his legs numb. He wanted to stand up but had no strength and fell to the ground.

After he calmed down, Lin asked him to sit on a stone bench and analyzed slowly, "Although there are no restaurants at the dock, there are many laborers coming and going. Laborers earn money by working hard, and the more they earn, the more they eat."

"I've been to Lindong County twice. There are many vendors selling food around the docks, mostly meat buns or fried food. Laborers buy them during their breaks, and business is pretty good."

When she went there, she noticed that the food sold at the stalls around the pier tasted just okay, but they all had one thing in common: the portions were large enough.

The meat buns were half the size of ordinary buns, and were smaller than the palm of your hand when held in your hand. They were not expensive. When she saw them, many people lined up to buy them, and the whole tray of buns was sold out in a blink of an eye.

"But, but we are making braised meat, will anyone buy it?"

The braised meats in restaurants are eaten with wine. If you sell them at a stall at the pier, I guess no one will buy them even if you put them there all day.

"The filling of meat buns is made of meat. Our braised meat can also be sliced and eaten as sandwiches, or mixed into cold dishes. Buy a cold dish and get a free bun. This is all business. It's up to you to choose to sell it. You don't necessarily have to cooperate with a restaurant."

Shiro was stunned. How could this be possible?

“Will this mean I earn less?”
