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

Lin Changting, Lin Changshun and Lin Changping are strong and flexible, and are responsible for climbing the trees to pick fruits.

Father Lin and Lin Qingshan were under the tree, using the bamboo poles they had just brought to pick some fruits that were difficult to pick from the thin trunks.

Lin Yunchu and a few others were responsible for picking the fruits one by one and putting them in backpacks. This not only made it easier to carry them back later, but also saved some effort when cleaning.

When it was almost dark, they only picked two loquats, but Lin Yunchu was already very satisfied.

"Okay, that's it for today. Let's go back. We still need to make loquat paste tonight. We can come back to pick the rest tomorrow after we go down the mountain."

When Lin Changting and the others heard Lin Yunchu's words, they hurried down, wiped the sweat from their heads, and were in high spirits without complaining of being tired.

They were very happy. This was all money, and it was worth it no matter how tired they were.

It was the time when every household was busy preparing dinner. The Lin family was close to the foot of the mountain, so the group hurried back to the Lin family. They didn't meet anyone along the way.

"You guys are back, and we just finished preparing dinner. Let's eat first. After eating, we'll have the energy to get busy."

When the group returned to the Lin family, Lin's mother was carrying the prepared dinner. Seeing everyone coming back, she hurriedly called Xu and brought the food over.

After working for so long, everyone was already hungry, so it was a good opportunity to eat and take a break at the same time.

Lin Yunchu looked at everyone gasping for breath and nodded repeatedly. He had gone to town early today and had hardly stopped since returning. He was really hungry now.

Lin Changting and his companions had been busy picking fruits from the trees for so long, they must be exhausted.

Everyone enjoyed their dinner with great relish, but they were still thinking about making loquat paste. As soon as they had finished their meal, they quickly brought all the loquats they had picked into the main room.

Lin Yunchu lit the lamp, making the room much brighter.

Last time, Lin Qingshan's family helped in making the loquat paste. Now everyone knows how to make it. Each of them is busy with a basket, and Lin Yunchu doesn't need to say much.

Everyone became more and more adept at it, and was much faster than the first time. Everyone in the room had a smile on their face. This was all money, and no matter how tired they were, they were very happy.

Lin Yunchu was responsible for making loquat paste. The loquat leaves and Fritillaria cirrhosa had already been prepared, so it was not difficult for Lin Yunchu to make it.

"Then we'll go back first. We still have work to do tomorrow."

After making the loquat paste, Lin Qingshan and his family went back to rest.

We have just discussed what to do tomorrow. Tomorrow morning we will go into the mountains to pick mushrooms as usual, and then pick loquats after we come down the mountain.

Today in the back mountain, Lin Yunchu took a walk around the loquat forest. Unexpectedly, those fruit trees, which were not taken care of by anyone, actually grew wild and produced quite a few fruits.

She thought about it and estimated that at the current rate of progress, it would take eight or nine days to pick all the fruits.

Excluding the cost of buying sugar cubes and Sichuan Fritillary Bulbs, each family should be able to earn more than ten taels of silver by then.

The corners of Lin Yunchu's mouth rose higher and higher, and the days were getting better and better.

On the way back, Lin Qingshan and his family never let go of the smiles on their faces. Everyone was looking forward to the future.

They all saw the silver that Lin Yunchu brought back today. They thought that they could make a lot of money by picking all the loquat fruits in the back mountain and making loquat paste.

Lin Yunchu said that the two families would split the money in half. That was money they could not earn in many years, and their family would no longer have to live such a hard life as before.

With this money, at least the whole family can have enough food and clothing and don’t have to worry about going hungry in winter.

The next morning, Lin Qingshan and his family arrived at the Lin family early.

After breakfast, Lin Yunchu and his group set out into the mountains to pick mushrooms. According to what Lin Yunchu had agreed yesterday, everyone had the same division of labor after they got down the mountain.

Everyone was familiar with the work and was quick and efficient. By the time it was just getting dark, they had already prepared the loquat paste.

Lin Yunchu looked at the things he had counted that needed to be taken to town tomorrow, which filled several backpacks. It was really inconvenient that he didn't have an ox cart at home.

After receiving the dividends from Yipintang, Lin Yunchu made up his mind to buy an ox cart for his family.

"Dad, please go to Uncle Niu's house and find out how much it would cost to rent his ox cart tomorrow."

It would be hard for several people to carry so many things to the town. If they took a bullock cart, there would be other people in the village who would definitely complain, which would be inconvenient.

Lin Yunchu thought it would be better to just rent an ox cart for a day. It shouldn't cost much money and would save a lot of trouble.

Father Lin frowned as he looked at the things packed out of the house to be taken to town tomorrow. These things did seem a bit too much.

There were mushrooms, bamboo shoots, half a basket of chili peppers, and prepared fermented black beans.

The loquat paste made in the past two days is also placed full. With so many things, it is indeed much more convenient to rent an ox cart.

"Then I'll go ask now. I don't think it will be too expensive."

Lin Wenshan walked out of the yard as he spoke. It wasn't long since he had finished dinner, and Old Man Niu might not have rested yet, so he had to hurry.

After a while, Lin Yunchu had just finished washing up and was about to go back to the house when his father came back.

As soon as he saw Lin Yunchu, he stepped forward and whispered to him, "I've already made an agreement with your Uncle Niu. I'll wait for you at the village entrance tomorrow. He won't take anyone else with him, and he'll only charge us thirty copper coins a day to rent the ox cart."

The price is not expensive. Lin Yunchu nodded. It will be more convenient for them to carry these things if they rent an ox cart tomorrow.

"Okay, I understand."

After saying that, he asked Lin's father to go back and rest first. Both families had worked hard in the past two days, going into the mountains and picking loquats.

Tomorrow, Lin Yunchu and the other two will go to town. Lin's father and the others will not go into the mountains. They will go to the mountains to pick loquats in the morning.

Lin Qingshan said that a lot of work can be done in this extra half day. There is no need to rush the work in the fields. The loquats are ripe and now is the most important time.

We have to hurry up and get this done quickly. Lin Yunchu didn't try to persuade them to take a rest. They wouldn't listen anyway, so it would be better to just go along with their wishes.

After all, we have picked a lot of fruits from the loquat forest on the back mountain, and it won’t take many days to finish the work. Once we are done with this period of work, we can all have a good rest for a few days.

What's more, now that the two families know how precious these fruits are and how much money they can make from them, everyone is as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they work very energetically every day.

If she hadn't persuaded me, I would have been unable to stop and would not even be willing to sleep.

Even Lin Changan, who was busy running around with everyone, never complained of being tired.
