The next day.

As usual, the two families went into the mountains to pick mushrooms and bamboo shoots. After picking them together, Lin Qingshan's family went home to do their own work.

Lin Wenshan, Lin Changting and Lin Changshun also went to work in the fields. Lin's mother took Lin Chang'an to pick some wild vegetables and bring back some chicken grass to feed the chickens.

Ever since the family bought the chicks, Lin's mother has been very happy. She feeds them carefully every day, and they have grown a lot in recent days.

Lin Yunchu was thinking of bringing some chili peppers to town tomorrow. She had already thought of new dishes for Yipintang, so it would be a good opportunity for her to bring the chili peppers with her to the chefs in the kitchen for trial cooking.

Thinking of this, Lin Yunchu went under the eaves to get the backpack, closed the gate and walked towards the wild pepper forest on the back mountain.

I haven't checked it for a few days. It should be ripe now, so I can pick some.

Soon we arrived at the pepper field. Looking around, the red dots among the green were particularly bright, and they looked much riper.

Lin Yunchu did not dare to delay, so he quickly put down the basket and started picking. In a short while, he had picked most of the basket.

Then he saw a lot of fresh wild amaranth on the side, so Lin Yunchu picked a bunch and put it on top of the backpack to cover the peppers underneath.

At this time, the setting sun has coated the surrounding vegetation with a layer of golden color, and there is a hint of grass fragrance in the breeze. The surroundings are quiet, with only the occasional bird calls and the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves.

I guess Mr. Lin and the others should have finished work and gone home, so I should go back quickly too. If I am any later, it will probably be dark.

Lin Yunchu picked up the backpack and hurried back along the same path he came.

When he returned home, he saw that Lin's father and several others had returned home and were repairing farm tools in the yard. He saw Lin Yunchu coming back with a backpack on his back.

Lin Changting hurried forward and helped take the backpack off Lin Yunchu's back, looking at Lin Yunchu's forehead covered in sweat.

He called out to Lin Changan who was standing by and went inside to pour some water. He looked at Lin Yunchu with some concern and said, "What have you been busy with? Why are you out alone? If there's any work, just ask me and your second brother to do it."

Lin Changting knew from a young age that as the eldest brother, he had to take care of his younger siblings. Lin Yunchu went out to work alone, and no one knew what was in the backpack. He just picked up a handful and it was quite heavy.

He and Lin Changshun were already grown men, and the heavy work at home was most suitable for them. They were strong, so how could they let their younger sister do the heavy work?

Looking at the sweat all over Lin Yunchu's head, Lin Changting felt distressed.

When Lin Changan heard what his elder brother said, he did not dare to delay. He quickly put down what he was holding, ran into the main room, poured a bowl of water and quickly brought it out to Lin Yunchu.

Lin Yunchu wanted to explain, but he was a little anxious on the way back. He was sweating all over and his throat was dry and thirsty.

He didn't bother to say anything, took the water handed to him by Lin Changan, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Only then did he feel his throat feel much better. He breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Lin Changting, "No need. I just went to the back mountain to pick some peppers. I'm going to send them to Yipin Pavilion tomorrow. They're not heavy, I can carry them by myself."

Lin Yunchu just felt that his elder brother was too worried. He was not a child anymore, and half a backpack of this size was not that heavy.

It is the work in the fields that is hard. The Lin family does not have many fields, but the Lin family members are hardworking. In the past two years, whenever Lin's father has free time, he goes to the fields to open up wasteland.

However, this wasteland is not only full of weeds, but also infertile. The yield of the crops grown here is mostly low. But Lin's father and mother don't mind it.

As long as we can grow more food, our family will suffer less from hunger.

Lin Yunchu thought that since the family had money, they should buy some more land. In the future, the vegetable plot in the backyard would not be enough to grow peppers.

However, she has not yet told Lin's father and mother about this matter. The cooperation with Yipintang has just begun, and it is still unclear what the details will be in the future.

Hearing Lin Yun say this, Lin Changting didn't know what to say. He picked up the backpack and put it under the eaves.

After drinking the water, Lin Yunchu took out the wild amaranth he had picked from his backpack, washed it with well water in the yard, and then brought it into the kitchen.

Lin's mother was cooking dinner. Lin Yunchu took a look and saw the kitchen filled with the aroma of rice porridge and vegetables.

Mother Lin's cooking skills have improved a lot now. Lin Yunchu looked forward and saw two prepared dishes already placed on the side.

There were river shrimps stir-fried with leeks, shredded pork with fish flavor, and green beans being stir-fried in the pot. Lin Yunchu smiled and thought that adding the vegetables in her hand would make stir-fried amaranth almost done.

Lin Changan caught these river shrimps when he was fishing in the river with Lin Changshun.

After Lin Yunchu made it once, the Lin family loved it. Although there was not much meat, it was so delicious that Lin Yunchu could not resist it.

After watching it a few times, Lin's mother learned how to make it. Now the taste of her dishes is not much different from Lin Yunchu's.

When Mother Lin saw the wild amaranth in Lin Yunchu's hand, she smiled and said, "The wild amaranth I picked today is really tender."

"Of course not. I was so stunned when I saw it when I went to pick peppers."

The two of them talked and laughed as they quickly prepared the wild amaranth.

At Lin Yunchu's request, the Lin family is now more willing to spend more on food. Everyone's complexion has become much rosier, and they are no longer as pale and thin as before.

Father Lin is now smiling every day and has more energy to work in the fields.

The next morning, Lin Yunchu and the other two went to the town with mushrooms, chili peppers, and loquat paste they had made yesterday.

The three of them went to Yipintang first. While Chuanzi was taking the mushrooms and bamboo shoots to be weighed, Lin Yunchu also followed him to the kitchen.

He brought a few chefs with him, and while making new dishes, he whispered to them the key points that needed to be paid attention to.

The chefs listened attentively. Lin Yunchu was a good cook with a good temper. He was willing to teach them without hiding anything. They were all very grateful and listened attentively.

Teaching them cooking skills in this way is like having them as their own master. Although Lin Yunchu is not very old, several people really respect him as their own master in their hearts.

When Lin Yunchu came out of the kitchen, Lin Changting and Lin Changping were resting in the inner room. Manager Zhou thoughtfully prepared tea, cakes and snacks for them.

He also left a portion for Lin Yunchu. Manager Zhou also came from a poor family and knew that Lin Yunchu and his friends must have left the village early and must be hungry.

Lin Yunchu didn't hesitate and sat down to eat something and rest for a while. It would take some time for them to return to Qingxi Village.

After eating, Lin Yunchu took out a small jar of loquat paste he brought and gave it to Manager Zhou, and explained the loquat paste to him.
