I'm not worried about traveling through a farmer's house. I made my fortune by farming.

After returning to the entrance of Qingxi Village, Lin Yunchu took out thirty copper coins and handed them to Old Man Niu, then hurried back to his home.

Lin Changping knew that Lin Yunchu would definitely go digging bamboo shoots after returning home today, so he did not go home. Instead, he followed Lin Changting and Lin Yunchu and rushed back to the Lin family.

Lin's mother was in the yard flipping the sour jujube cake that Lin Yunchu had made two days ago. Lin Yunchu had specifically instructed her to do this last night. After finishing all the work inside and outside the house, she had just got some free time and the sun was shining brightly, so she started to tinker with it.

While he was busy, he saw the gate of his yard opened. He looked up and saw Lin Changting and two others hurried into the yard carrying baskets on their backs.

Why did these three people come back so early today? In the past, it took them a long time to go to town and come back.

Mother Lin stopped what she was doing and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Why did you come back so early today? Is everything settled?"

Today, Lin Yunchu also went to the town with them, just to get the bamboo shoots they dug in the back mountain yesterday.

Lin's mother also knew that if these bamboo shoots could be sold, the family would have another source of income in the future.

Before Lin Yunchu could say anything, he saw Lin Changting put down the backpack and excitedly told Lin's mother what happened in Yipin Pavilion today.

Mother Lin paused, seeming a little bit unbelievable. She raised her head and looked at Lin Yunchu and Lin Changping. Seeing that Lin Changping also nodded, she really believed what Lin Changting said.

"That's great! Your father and the others will be back soon. They'll definitely be happy to know this."

While talking to herself, Lin's mother walked quickly into the kitchen, intending to heat up the lunch left in the pot for Lin Yunchu and the other two.

Lin Yunchu and the other two were eating the meal heated up by Lin's mother. Lin's father and Lin Qingshan's family also came back with them.

It turned out that they knew that Lin Yunchu and the other two were going to the town to take bamboo shoots today. Lin Qingshan's family was also anxious and wanted to know what the result would be. After finishing their work in the fields, they also followed Lin's father back.

Seeing everyone's anxious expressions, Lin Yunchu briefly recounted what had happened today while eating.

Then he said that he wanted to make some sour bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots.

"Although we both have a lot of people, there's still a lot of work to do in the fields, not to mention going into the mountains to pick mushrooms and going to town."

Lin Yunchu looked around at everyone and continued, "I was thinking of asking Uncle Pan and Sister Xiuxiu to help dig bamboo shoots. How about we charge one penny per pound?"

Lin Yunchu had this idea just when he was on the ox cart coming back. On the one hand, he wanted to help the Pan family, and on the other hand, it was also a way of expressing his gratitude to Pan Xiuxiu.

After all, if Pan Xiuxiu hadn't told them about the bamboo forest in the back mountain, they wouldn't have been able to find the bamboo shoots, let alone sell them to Yipintang.

Although the bamboo shoots in the back mountain are not easy to dig, they are big and not light.

It is not a problem to earn fifty or sixty cents a day, which is much more than what you can earn by doing odd jobs in town.

Although Mr. Pan has difficulty walking, he is still able to dig bamboo shoots, which is much easier than doing farm work.

However, this is just Lin Yunchu's idea. He still has to go to the Pan family to see if the father and daughter are willing. If they are not willing, then they can talk about it later.

Father Lin nodded without thinking, following Lin Yunchu's words. He knew Father Pan's stubborn temper. If he asked him to help his family directly, he would definitely not be willing.

The work of digging bamboo shoots was not too tiring. It was done in the back mountain of Qingxi Village. He was happy to earn the money through his own hard work.

Lin Qingshan also nodded. He, Lin Wenshan and Pan's father grew up together, and as a villager they could help out as much as possible.

What Lin Yunchu said was not without reason. Now both Lin families had bought a lot of land, and the work on their own land could not be delayed. Moreover, the autumn harvest was approaching, so naturally they were too busy to handle it.

You should ask for help when it is necessary, and don't delay your own work.

"Then I'll go and talk about this."

Father Lin thought for a moment, then said, "I'm familiar with Qingyou, so if I ask him, it shouldn't be easy for him to refuse."

Father Lin was actually worried that if Lin Yunchu spoke up first, Father Pan would feel burdened and embarrassed, so he decided it would be better for him to speak up himself.

Lin Yunchu nodded and said, "If not, let's go together tomorrow. The sour jujube cake should be ready to eat tomorrow. I'll send some to Sister Xiuxiu for her to try."

We had agreed that Pan Xiuxiu would have a taste of the sour jujube cake after it was ready.

Father Lin nodded.

After dinner, except for Lin's mother and Mrs. Xu, everyone else went to the back mountain to dig bamboo shoots. Lin Yunchu said that he wanted to make sour bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots, but he needed a lot of bamboo shoots.

There were a lot of people here at the moment, so it was just right that we could go and come back earlier together, so we dealt with it before it got dark.

With yesterday's experience, the group quickly found the bamboo forest. Lin Changting and Lin Changping were the most excited. Following the method taught by Lin Yunchu yesterday, they explained to everyone in detail how to find and dig bamboo shoots.

As expected, when there are more people, the action is faster. In less than an hour, they had dug several baskets.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Yunchu urged everyone to leave it at that for today, as they would have to deal with all the bamboo shoots quickly when they got back.

Lin.

At home, Lin's mother and Mrs. Xu cleaned several large vats according to Lin Yunchu's instructions, intending to use them to pickle sour bamboo shoots.

Two pots of hot water were boiled in the kitchen, several large bamboo mats were cleaned in the yard, and the racks were set up and covered with bamboo mats. They would dry the bamboo shoots here later.

"Mom, aunt, we are back."

Lin Yunchu pushed open the door of his yard, panting slightly, and shouted into the house breathlessly.

When Lin's mother and Xu in the room heard the noise, they immediately rushed out.

"You're back. Put your things down quickly and have some water. We've already prepared everything Yun Chu asked us to do."

Mother Lin said this with a smile, and went forward to help a few people put the backpacks on the ground. Xu went into the house to pour water for everyone.

Lin's father and Lin Qingshan didn't want to rest for a while, so they took Lin Changping and others to start peeling bamboo shoots.

They watched Lin Yunchu cooking yesterday, and after trying it themselves, they found that he was quite good at it.

Peeling bamboo shoots is a laborious job, so Lin Yunchu just let them do it.

"Discard the old ones at the bottom and cut them all into thin slices."

I was busy for more than an hour peeling and slicing the bamboo shoots before I finally finished processing all the bamboo shoots I dug today.

The next step is to pickle the sour bamboo shoots and make dried bamboo shoots.

There are many ways to make sour bamboo shoots. Lin Yunchu can be considered a bamboo shoot lover and has loved bamboo shoots since he was a child.

So I also learned the skill of making bamboo shoots.
