Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens

Even if you can't handle it yourself, isn't there always someone who can do it all?

However, if he wants to bring that person in, he'll have to use something to tempt him another day. His sister's cooking is so fragrant and delicious, that person definitely won't be able to resist.

Lin Bao had already made a huge, elaborate plan in his mind, but those completely unaware of it were now being besieged.

The night was pitch black, without a single ray of light, and the air was thick with the smell of rust. Suddenly, someone moved.

Then a muffled groan escaped his lips, and the man stopped breathing. Moments later, the blade flashed past, and after a few breaths, the scene fell silent.

……

When Lin Cai and the others arrived in town, it was already slightly dawn. Lin Bao took them to their stalls and then found a place to catch up on his sleep.

As dawn broke and the streets became more crowded, Lin Cai took out chestnuts and chestnut cakes and began to hawk them.

Upon hearing that chestnut cake was available, passersby couldn't help but take a look, because for ordinary people, pastries were only available in pastry shops.

Those things are too expensive; ordinary families simply can't afford them. Even just standing next to them to smell them would get them chased away.

"Little girl, what kind of cake are you selling?"

Lin Cai's chestnut cakes are flower-shaped, unlike the ones sold in shops.

In terms of appearance, these pastries are definitely more visually appealing than those from pastry shops.

The person asking the question was an elderly woman. Hearing that someone had asked, Lin Cai quickly explained, "Auntie, this is called chestnut cake. It's a pastry made from chestnuts."

"It's soft and chewy, and not too sweet. It's perfect to buy some for your grandson."

Looking at the pastries, the old lady was tempted. She did have an eldest grandson at home, and he wanted to buy some to take home, but the pastries in those shops were too expensive, and they simply couldn't afford them.

"You said this is made with chestnuts, which mountain chestnuts are from?"

"Yes, that's it. Those chestnuts are delicious when boiled, and now they're made into pastries that taste just as good."

The chestnuts from the mountain are indeed delicious. She had eaten them before when there was a famine, but in recent years she has had enough to eat, so she rarely eats anything from the mountain anymore.

Lin Cai kept introducing the products, and more and more people came to watch. The old lady who was initially hesitant was still buying, but the others had already bought quite a lot.

Gu Dachui served them roasted chestnuts, while Lin Cai served them chestnut cakes. Each serving of roasted chestnuts cost 5 copper coins, and each piece of chestnut cake cost 3 copper coins.

Some people think it's too expensive and just take a look and leave, but others are still willing to spend that money to buy it.

In half a day, both items were sold out. Lin Cai was quite happy because she had brought dozens of kilograms of roasted chestnuts with her.

They even brought a lot of chestnut cakes. Apart from the ones they kept at home for Xiaochunhua and the others as snacks, all the chestnut cakes they made yesterday were sold out.

When Lin Bao arrived, they had just finished packing up. He looked at Lin Cai, who was still picking things up.

"Hey girl, Third Brother has something he'd like to ask you for help with."

"No help."

Lin Cai said without looking up, and Lin Bao almost laughed when he heard what his sister said: "I haven't even told you what favor I need you to do, and you're already refusing to help?"

"I said I wouldn't help, and I won't. Do you have anything else to say? If not, we'll be leaving now."

Lin Bao is coming to me for help now, isn't it all because of those two older brothers?

She still hasn't met the original owner's two older brothers. If she still can't figure this out, then the head on her neck must really be stupid.

Seeing his younger sister leave after rejecting him, Lin Bao revealed a gloating smile.

He turned and called out, "I'm going home, so I won't be drinking. You guys drink by yourselves."

After shouting, he went off to chase after his own girl.

"Hey girl, do you still stand by what you said to me this morning?"

Lin Bao rubbed his hands as he followed behind, and thinking about what Lin Cai had said earlier that day, he asked directly.

"I'll do whatever you find, so it definitely counts."

"Then you'll make it for me when we get back, okay?"

Lin Cai looked at him suspiciously: "Are you planning to go up the mountain again?"

"What are you saying? In our Gu Family Village, if we don't go up the mountain to get something, what else can we eat?"

"You can't expect me, your third brother, to just climb over someone's wall, can you?"

Just because he can do it doesn't mean he can do it!

If someone's things were to go missing, wouldn't the entire Gu Family Village be thrown into chaos?

Besides, Lin Bao does have his bottom line, you know?

He can do whatever he wants outside, but as for the people and affairs of Gujia Village, he won't interfere in anything except matters concerning his own family.

He'd always been too lazy to care, and besides, they weren't qualified; Lin Bao wasn't the type to meddle in their business.

Having received the answer, Lin Cai didn't ask any more questions. As evening approached, Lin Bao brought back two wild rabbits.

Lin Cai looked at the wounds on the rabbit, then looked up at her third brother and asked, "Did you catch this rabbit yourself?"

Lin Bao, who was peeling chestnuts nearby, popped one into his mouth and said, "No, I don't have a bow and arrows, how could I possibly wound a rabbit with an arrow?"

When the topic of bows and arrows came up, Lin Cai immediately thought of one person. It seemed that only that person in the entire Gu Family Village possessed a bow and arrows.

She looked at Lin Bao with suspicion, and Lin Bao nodded very honestly.

"My sister is so smart, she figured it out right away. That's right, it's that person, and he'll be here soon too."

While explaining the facts, he also dropped a bombshell. After hearing this, Lin Cai almost threw the rabbit at him and told him to do it himself.

She's not some international chef; she's just cooking rabbit. Why invite people over for a meal?

Seeing the anger in his sister's eyes, Lin Bao quickly added, "He doesn't have to come. You can cook the rabbit, and I'll just bring him a bowl."

To avoid that person coming over, eating the rabbit and then having to eat rice, since his little sister is already very poor, if two more people come to eat, she definitely won't be able to handle it.

Lin Bao slapped his forehead in frustration. Why hadn't he thought of this before?

Lin Cai's lips twitched, especially when she saw Lin Bao slap his forehead. She suddenly realized that her third brother's brain was sometimes not very sharp.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting there hitting his own forehead right now.

Having prepared herself mentally for the possibility of having one more person, Lin Cai didn't put in much rice when cooking.

It wasn't because they were reluctant to part with it, but because it was obvious that their family was already very poor and that eating coarse grains was already quite good.
