"Didn't you say yesterday that you would send food over? I was afraid the delivery guy wouldn't be able to find us, so I came here to wait."

Lin Ting got off the ox cart and introduced Yang Xiuxiu, "Grandma, this is Master Hu. He will be the one delivering food to our family from now on."

Puller Hu is over fifty years old, and his ox cart is the only source of income for his family.

"Hello, Master Hu. Thank you for your hard work in the future."

Driver Hu: "It's not hard, it's what I should do..."

Jiang Lan walked to the front and said to the others, "Let's pull these things into the shed first. It's getting late, and we still have to make breakfast for over thirty grown men."

Several people led the ox cart, bypassing the village and coming to the foundation of Lin Ting's house.

The crops in the vegetable garden are gone, but now it is filled with hoes, winnowing baskets, and various tools for digging the soil.

Shen Dali climbed up the small slope and cut the grass on it first, so that people could come and start digging.

The ones who cooked for Lin Ting and the others were Yang Xiuxiu, Aunt Jiang, and Tian Wang's two cousins-in-law, Yunyun and Ahua.

The two men were only thirty years old, very nimble, and well-known for their diligence in Wushan Village.

"Aunt Jiang, go light the fire first. Let's make noodles for breakfast today. I bought a lot of flour."

Lin Ting also stayed to help, as having one more person would make things go faster.

"Lin Ting, let's mix the dough."

Yunyun and Ahua are strong and can knead dough quickly.

"That's fine, Sister Yun, Sister Hua, I'll leave this to you."

Lin Ting cut a piece of pork and cut the pork and fungus into shreds, and Yang Xiuxiu was responsible for washing them.

When she was tidying up the vegetable garden yesterday, she also harvested a lot of amaranth. She will put some amaranth in the noodles when she cooks them later.

Lin Ting cut the vegetables, put oil in the pot, add ginger and garlic after the oil is hot, stir-fry the ginger and garlic until fragrant, then pour in the shredded meat, wait until the shredded meat changes color, then add the fungus and stir-fry.

Lin Ting heard that the shredded pork was almost done, and the two sisters-in-law over there also rolled out the noodles, cut them into shreds with a kitchen knife, and put them into the pot boiled by Aunt Jiang.

More and more people came up to the foundation, and as soon as they entered, they smelled the aroma of fried meat.

Although Lin heard that breakfast was provided, the strong men in the village thought that it would be good enough to have a mouthful of broken rice porridge.

I didn't expect to see a truck full of vegetables. The sacks were filled with rice with distinct grains, and pork, real meat. It had been a long time since they had eaten meat.

More than a dozen people came and saw these things. They couldn't help but feel excited and took the initiative to help several women move the things on the ox cart to the small cooking shed.

After the noodles were cooked, Yang Xiuxiu threw the wild amaranth into the pot and it was cooked immediately. Aunt Jiang turned off the fire on the stove which was still burning.

The two sisters-in-law of the Tian family took out chopsticks and put the noodles into bowls.

Lin Ting and Yang Xiuxiu used a spoon to place the fried shredded pork and black fungus on each bowl of noodles.

"Father-in-law, breakfast is ready. Tell everyone to come and get it. Eat breakfast before you start working."

Lin Ting said to Shen Dali who came over to wash his hands.

As soon as Shen Dali called out, all the people who wanted to work came over. They were all the strongest and most capable young men in the village.

Each person took a bowl of noodles outside the shed to eat. The noodles were white, with shredded meat, oil and salt on top. The villagers had never eaten such delicious noodles during the Chinese New Year.

"Aunt Jiang, Sister Yun, Sister Ahua, you guys eat too. Anyone in the back who doesn't have enough can help themselves."

A lot of noodles were cooked, and Lin Ting told them not to worry about these grown men, they would serve themselves, and the people who ordered rice could eat first.

"Okay, Lin Ting, you eat too."

Yunyun and Ahua were already hungry, but since Lin Ting asked them to cook, they naturally didn't dare to eat first.

They originally thought that it would be good to have ten cents a day to eat here, but they never thought that Lin Ting would provide them with such good food.

There was white flour, rice, and meat. They felt like they were dreaming. Was this really for them to eat?

My head was still in a daze until I put it in my mouth.

After breakfast, Shen Dali led everyone to start digging the slope, and left the dishes here for Yang Xiuxiu and others to wash.

Lin Ting and Hu the coachman also finished their breakfast before returning to the county together.

It was already 9:00 PM when they arrived at the county government office. Lin Ting took the driver Hu to the rice shop first, where she ordered rice and oil from the owner.

Master Hu comes to deliver rice every three days, and she also goes to the pork shop to order meat, buying a little every day. Because the weather is hot, the meat cannot be kept for too long, so she only buys one day's worth.

As for the vegetables, she had made a ten-day plan, a ten-day cycle. She had told them what to buy every day, and then driver Hu would just have to deliver them to Wushan Village and hand them over to Yang Xiuxiu.

After finishing the shopping, Lin Ting walked on the street and saw that people had a bamboo tube hanging around their waists or on their shoulder poles, with mung beans dyed on it into a dark green color.

"What did you drink today? Sour plum soup or mung bean soup?"

Street vendors consoled each other: "Today I bought sour plum soup, tomorrow I'll have mung bean soup, let's swap the two."

"Hahaha, me too. I'm used to drinking it. I feel uncomfortable if I don't drink it for a day."

Another woman heard the conversation between the two and came forward to speak.

"You only know that these two drinks are delicious, but you don't know the benefits of dehumidifying tea. My sisters and I drank dehumidifying tea, and our bodies became lighter and more beautiful."

Several people nodded, as if they knew each other. "It's worthy of being recommended by Doctor Wanhetang. Not only is it cheap, but it's also good for your health."

Seeing that his business is so booming, even Xiaobu is about to become Lin Lin's assistant. He used to be a pharmacist, but was forced to become a guy selling drinks.

Lin Ting was thinking that a small stall could no longer supply customers and she needed to expand her business as she still had several kinds of tea drinks to come out.

Now we are doing the simplest business, but the business is so good. Once it becomes bigger, it will surely be popular throughout Wenzhu County, and maybe even the entire Dongxia Kingdom.

Lin Ting was thinking about this in his mind. As he walked on the street, he was still observing the teahouses, restaurants and the like on the street.

When we walked to the bottom of a Nanxinglou restaurant, four people were suddenly driven out by the waiter at the door.

Lin Ting looked carefully and saw that this was Shen Rou, Xu, and Shen Zhuxiong and his wife.

What is a man doing here with a basket on his back? Why did he get kicked out?

"Come on, come on... You're selling all sorts of random things here. Our Nanxinglou isn't some low-class restaurant."

Shen Rou refused to accept it and pointed at the waiter and cursed.

"What do you, a waiter, know? Call your boss or chef out. What we sell is a treasure, the best waterweed among all spices.

They are all wild natural spices with strong aroma. As long as you use them in cooking, your restaurant business is guaranteed to be good.

If you miss us now, you will miss out on wealth. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."

Shen Rou talked incessantly, and Xu and Shen Zuxiong also agreed with her words. After all, Lin Ting and the others could sell it, so they would definitely be able to sell it too.
