Soon, Lin's father and mother came back and entered the Lin family's yard. The first thing they saw was the sour jujube cakes drying in the yard.

Lin's mother guessed at first sight that it must have been made by Lin Yunchu. She had never seen this thing before, so it must have been newly made by Lin Yunchu.

But these things in the yard were placed on bamboo mats to dry, with oil-proof paper underneath. It was impossible to tell what they were made of, and no one knew what they were made of. Mother Lin put down the hoe in her hand and asked with a smile.

Lin Yunchu was cooking dinner in the kitchen. Lin Changan was the most active. He walked up to Lin's mother, took her hand, and told her about going to the back mountain to pick sour dates this morning.

"Is this made from those sour fruits in the back mountain?"

After hearing what Lin Chang'an said, Lin's mother was also surprised. She naturally knew what the sour dates in the back mountain were, but they were very sour and no one would pick them up to eat.

Even fresh fruits like loquats are not eaten by anyone, and most of them fall to the ground and no one cares about them.

How did Lin Yunchu pick it up? And the food drying in the yard looks different from those sour dates. How was it made?

Is it really edible?

It wasn't that Mother Lin couldn't believe it, but she was surprised to hear that those sour fruits that had fallen to the ground in the back mountain and no one had eaten them were actually picked up by Lin Yunchu.

Lin Changan just said that there is sugar in it. It would be a waste if we can’t eat it.

"Mom, my sister said it's edible. It's delicious, sour and sweet. We can eat it after it's dried in the sun for a few more days."

Lin Changan hurriedly and anxiously explained to his mother that Lin Yunchu had told him all this and he believed in his elder sister.

My sister said if it’s edible, then it must be delicious.

Lin Yunchu's cooking skills have made the Lin family members' tastes more and more sophisticated. Even when they go to other people's homes for dinner, they feel that the food is not as delicious as the food Lin Yunchu cooks on a daily basis.

Moreover, those inconspicuous wild vegetables, when cooked by Lin Yunchu, are simply delicacies.

"Yes, yes, then mother will be waiting to eat it."

After washing her hands, Lin's mother went to the kitchen to see how Lin Yunchu had prepared dinner.

In the kitchen, Lin Yunchu had just finished preparing the last dish, and the whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of food.

"Mom, don't bother. I've prepared the food. Just take out the dishes."

Ever since the family bought the land, Lin's mother would go to the fields to help after finishing her housework, and Lin Yunchu had gotten used to it.

Lin Yunchu talked about meeting Pan Xiuxiu in the back mountain today, helping them pick sour dates, and just coming to the Lin family to make sour date cakes.

"Then why did she go back? It's a rare opportunity for her to visit our house, so she should stay a little longer."

Lin's mother liked Pan Xiuxiu very much, and she couldn't help but complain when she heard what Lin Yunchu said.

Lin Yunchu raised the corner of her mouth slightly, but she didn't say that Pan Xiuxiu seemed to be a little embarrassed after seeing her elder brother.

We still don't know what's going on, so it's not good to make up something. It would be terrible if something goes wrong.

"It's getting late. Sister Xiuxiu has to go back and cook, right? Otherwise, what will Uncle Pan eat tonight?"

Lin Yunchu made up a random excuse.

Mother Lin nodded as if she suddenly understood something. She was so busy that she was confused. There were only two people in the Pan family, father and daughter, so Pan Xiuxiu naturally had to rush home to cook dinner.

"Then when the sour jujube cake is ready, you must ask her to come to our house to taste it."

Pan Xiuxiu has had a miserable life since she was young, so Lin's mother naturally feels some pity for her, and she even helped her today, didn't she?

The Lin family is not short of snacks now, and they want Lin Yunchu to call her over, but it's just because they feel a little sorry for her.

Lin Yunchu smiled and nodded. She knew it in her heart without her mother explaining it.

Moreover, we made a lot of jujube paste today, and we can’t eat so much at home.

When the time comes, I will send some to my uncle's house and some to Pan Xiuxiu as well, so that they can both taste it.

The next day.

The two families went into the mountains to pick mushrooms as usual, but there were no bamboo shoots in the mountains at this time of year.

The group went down the mountain earlier than usual. After Lin Yunchu finished picking mushrooms with everyone in the yard, he put on his backpack and planned to go out for a walk in the back mountain.

Yesterday, I heard Pan Xiuxiu say that there was a bamboo forest a little further in, so Lin Yunchu planned to go and see if there were any bamboo shoots growing.

The small bamboo shoots on the mountain were gone, and the family’s income was reduced by half. She thought she had to find other varieties of bamboo shoots as soon as possible.

Ever since Yipintang introduced dishes made with bamboo shoots, it has become a signature dish of the restaurant.

Ever since the bamboo shoots were gone, Shopkeeper Zhou had been very worried. Every time Lin Yunchu went to the town, he would ask when the bamboo shoots could be delivered.

There are quite a lot of edible bamboo shoots. When Lin Yunchu heard Pan Xiuxiu mention it yesterday, he had been thinking about it all night.

After finishing today's work, I quickly thought about going out to take a look at the bamboo forest in the back mountain.

When Lin's father, mother and Lin Qingshan heard Lin Yunchu mention this, they naturally worried about her running to the back mountain alone.

Since there is nothing to do now, let Lin Changting and Lin Changping go with us. The bamboo shoots are so heavy. If they really find them, they can carry them back.

Seeing that everyone had an expression that refused to be refused, Lin Yunchu was helpless. Thinking that two more people would not be a big deal, he did not refuse and nodded.

Seeing that Lin Yunchu agreed, Lin Changting and Lin Changping immediately went under the eaves to get a backpack and a small hoe, and followed Lin Yunchu out to the back mountain.

"Sister Xiuxiu said that if we just walk a little further this way we'll see the bamboo forest. Why haven't we arrived there yet?"

Lin Yunchu walked in the direction Pan Xiuxiu mentioned yesterday for a long time but still didn't see the bamboo forest she mentioned. He couldn't help but wonder if he had gone in the wrong direction.

"Are you sure you're going this way? Maybe we're going in the wrong direction?"

Lin Changping looked at the weeds in front of him that were almost as tall as his knees, and couldn't help but sigh to the sky.

The three of them had been walking for almost half an hour. If they walked further, they would reach a small valley. There shouldn't be any bamboo forest there.

Lin Yunchu found a higher rock, climbed up the rock and looked ahead for a while, but did not see any bamboo forest. He couldn't help but wonder if they really had gone in the wrong direction.

"There's a valley around a corner ahead, but it's not clear. Let's go a little further and see if there's anything there. If there's really nothing there, we'll go to the other side."

Lin Yunchu no longer held out much hope. If she really couldn't find it, she would go to Pan's house tomorrow to ask Pan Xiuxiu for the exact location, and then go there again.

After listening to Lin Yunchu's words, Lin Changting and Lin Changping nodded. This was the only way for now. Since they were already here, they might as well look a little further ahead. If there was no place to go by going to the other end, they would eventually find it.
