Lin Yunchu curled up the corners of her mouth and felt a little funny when she saw her cousin's expression. She knew that Lin Cuizhi must be feeling sorry for the snails they had to eat in the evening.

If she had told this matter when she just came back from the town today, I'm afraid everyone present would think the same way, and she would not be willing to eat it.

“Can it really be sold?”

Lin Qingshan's voice trembled slightly, and then he changed the subject and muttered with regret: "Well... if we had known earlier, we wouldn't have eaten these just now. It would have been better to sell them for silver."

When the others heard this, they nodded in unison like Lin Qingshan, their faces full of regret.

As Lin Yunchu had thought, as long as something could be sold for silver, they would not eat it themselves, and only thought about saving more money by selling it.

"I just ate a lot, Yunchu, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Lin Cuizhi felt a little sad. Although life at home was much better now than before, there were still so many things at home that needed money.

They don't lack this kind of food. As long as she can sell it for silver, she will be happy to eat other food.

Lin Yunchu's eyebrows curved, and he chuckled softly and said, "Don't feel sorry. There isn't much to eat tonight. We can just pick up some more tomorrow."

Lin Yunchu paused, then told his plan.

This Yipin Pavilion's business is booming, and they must need a lot of snails. It is definitely not enough to rely on their own family alone. She had already thought about it on the way back today.

He planned to pay money and find people from the village to help him. This would not only solve the snail problem, but also allow the villagers to have work to do and earn money.

At the same time, it doesn't delay things. There is strength in numbers. What's more, with more people, everyone can look for snails in other places, which is a win-win situation.

After hearing Lin Yunchu's words, the room fell silent. No one had expected that Lin Yunchu would have such an idea.

At first they thought that they were called over today and this matter was mentioned because they were going to pick snails together, and since there were more of them it shouldn't cause any problems.

There are many people in this village, so how much money will it cost?

"Yun Chu, why don't we reconsider this matter."

Lin Qingshan was not afraid of hard work, but he was reluctant to spend the money. Besides, there were quite a few people here, so why waste that money?

Lin's father and mother also nodded. Although there are a lot of things to do at home, they can still spare some time to help.

"Yes, Yunchu, Chunxi, Cuizhi and I will go to the creek to pick them up as soon as we have time. I am very quick now."

Lin Changping thought about it and said something as well.

Father Pan and the others beside him finished speaking, and then he spoke out: "Although my legs and feet are not flexible, it is not a problem for me to go down to the river and pick up some snails. You don't have to worry about that, Yunchu."

Originally, Pan Xiuxiu came back and asked her son to come to the Lin family for dinner today. Pan's father didn't think much about it. Since Xiuxiu married into the Lin family, she came to the Lin family as often as she went to her son's home.

He didn't think too much about it until Lin Yunchu mentioned the snail incident just now. Then Father Pan realized that this was what they were going to talk about today.

The Lin family treated him well, and they treated Pan Xiuxiu even better. He earned some money by picking mushrooms and digging bamboo shoots with the Lin family. Now that the Lin family needed help, he naturally had to lend a hand.

Although Mr. Pan's legs were injured, he had no problem going to the river to pick up snails, so he could help.

"Listen to me, this isn't just about spending a few bucks. I thought about it on the way back today, and this method is feasible."

Then Lin Yunchu explained his ideas to everyone one by one.

Now that the Lin family's life is gradually getting better, they should naturally help the people in the village. Although picking snails looks simple, it is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

After picking it up, you still need to wash it, which takes a lot of energy.

Besides, the Lin family has a lot of things to do now. They have to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms and dig bamboo shoots. They often need help in the workshop, and there is a lot of work to do in their own fields.

It's okay to take some time out to pick snails for one or two days, but it will take several months before winter comes. I'm afraid I won't be able to do this every day.

Moreover, Lin Yunchu also wanted to help the people in the village. Wouldn't it be better if everyone in Qingxi Village could live a better life?

After hearing Lin Yunchu's words, everyone in the room looked at each other. No one expected that Lin Yunchu had considered it so far.

Having said that, if you think about it carefully, it does make sense. Now everyone in the village is growing potatoes with the Lin family and can make a lot of money.

Although the Lin family workshop also hired helpers, it did not need so many people. During the spring plowing and autumn harvest, they also looked for people in the village, but these were not available every day.

Moreover, we really can't rush into picking up snails. Yun Chu is right. It takes a lot of effort to pick up snails, and more people can pick more. Even the children in the village can earn money for their families.

That’s a good thing!

"Okay, then let's do as Yun Chu said. I think I should talk to Uncle Fang about this first."

Father Lin nodded and agreed with what Lin Yunchu had just said. He also suggested that this matter should be discussed with the village head first. After all, this was not a matter for one or two people.

It is better to discuss it with the village head first, so that if anything goes wrong in the future, the village head will help to speak up for Xiang, so as to avoid doing good intentions but ruining the matter, which would be a thankless task.

It would be really unfair if we didn't get any benefits after paying our own money.

"Yes, yes, what Wenshan said makes sense."

Lin Qingshan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and responded.

Although picking snails is not a hard job and only requires some effort, once this matter is spread outside, I'm sure people in the village will rush to get them.

It's better to say some things in advance. With the village head's advice, things will be more settled.

Lin Yunchu nodded. Lin Wenshan and Lin Qingshan were older than her and could always see things more clearly than her. So she decided to do it according to what they said.

"Well, what about us?"

Lin Cuizhi lowered her head and muttered softly.

What can they do? Today, Lin Yunchu specifically called several families together to discuss this matter. It should not be just to notify them.

"Cousin, I have something more important to entrust to you."

Amidst everyone's surprised looks, Lin Yunchu began to explain again: "I want Uncle Pan, my cousin, and my cousin's wife to be responsible for collecting snails, pickling sour bamboo shoots, and picking bay leaves."

When people in this village pick up snails, someone has to be responsible for weighing them and paying them. Someone also has to be busy every day preparing the sour bamboo shoots and bay leaves.
