A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

After the family returned home by oxcart, they ate the steamed buns they bought in town and then went back to their rooms for an afternoon nap.

Lin He'er woke up in the afternoon. After a nap, she felt much better. The success of selling bracelets in the morning gave her a lot of confidence. However, the money she had left after buying things was far from enough to pay off her debts. She still needed to put her previous ideas into action.

Taking out the colorful rope she had bought at the embroidery shop, Lin He'er began to recall the techniques she had used to weave Chinese knots in her past life. The time span was too great, and her memories were already quite hazy. She sat on the stool for a long time before finally managing to retrieve those distant memories.

Today at the embroidery shop, while Mother chatted with Madam Xu, I also took the time to carefully observe the items the shop usually sold. Besides the common handkerchiefs, tassels, and fan surfaces, there were also various decorative items of different sizes, as well as embroidery tools. The selection was quite comprehensive.

After examining so many embroidered items, when she came to the knotted embroidery, she discovered a wide variety of patterns and designs, neatly arranged in a row. Surprisingly, she didn't see any Chinese knots, which she had seen in her previous life. This made Lin He'er think that she had found another way to make money.

Take out a thicker red rope, fold it neatly in half, and then arrange it in a cross shape and fix the shape with a needle. Take one of the ropes that is pressed out from both sides and repeatedly weave it under the other rope. After weaving this rope, repeat the weaving of the other rope. After weaving both ropes, take out the fixed needle and slowly tighten it to fix the shape. This completes the weaving of an 8-turn four-loop Chinese knot.

The steps seem simple, but if the force applied while repeatedly pressing the rope is inconsistent, the rope will not be neat when it is finally pulled up. Lin He'er had to redo this step many times before she was finally able to complete it to a somewhat satisfactory degree.

Holding the freshly made Chinese knot, I went out of the room to show it off to my mother.

Mother, what do you think of this tassel?

Has He'er come up with something new again? Madam Lin took the knot from her daughter's hand and examined it closely. She had never seen this style before. The red ropes were layered and overlapped to form a knot that looked the same on both sides, like plum blossoms. She hadn't expected that her daughter, while not good at embroidery, was so skillful at weaving.

I've never seen this brocade made by He Yatou before. It's so grand and beautiful. Lin Niangzi racked her brains for a while before she could come up with such a word! It looks more elegant and classy than ordinary floral brocades!

Lin He'er understood what her mother meant; it was like a girl from a modest family suddenly seeing a lady from a prominent family. Both were women, but the other seemed to possess a more refined air. She had felt the same way when she first saw a Chinese knot in her past life.

Madam Lin; if you take it to town to sell, Manager Xu will definitely accept it.

Does Mother also think Aunt Xu would be willing to accept it? Hearing her mother's approval, Lin He'er was even more confident.

"Mother, you make this knot. I'll explain the method to you." Lin He'er planned to teach her mother the method and use her free time to figure out other things.

Upon hearing that she was to be taught, Lin Niangzi immediately perked up. Eager to learn, she asked her daughter to teach her the bracelet-making technique as well, so that she could gather a lot of items at the next market day.

After Lin He'er taught all the techniques to her mother, half a day passed in a hurry.

Mother, you practice first, I'll go to the stove and cook some rice.

"Hey, watch and do it, Mother, practice some more," Lin Niangzi replied without even looking up. She was so captivated by the new techniques her daughter was teaching her that she didn't want to get up and do anything else. Besides, her daughter's cooking was getting better and better, much better than her own, so she didn't want to argue with her, lest her son say that his mother's cooking was inferior to his sister's. Who doesn't have pride?

Once inside the kitchen, He'er took out and arranged the things she had bought at the market that morning. Since it was dinner time, she didn't want to make anything too complicated, so she simply made a radish and pork bone soup with hand-pulled noodles. In early spring, a bowl of hot pork bone soup noodles is easy to digest and warms you up late at night.

He took out a cloth bag and pulled out two bowls of mixed grain noodles. These noodles were bought at the market that morning. White flour was still too expensive for the Lin family, so they could only buy some mixed grain noodles to change things up. It was better than eating vegetable soup all day long.

Pour the flour into a ceramic bowl, add water one by one, and stir until it forms clumps. Once the flour has slowly clumped together and can be kneaded into a dough, stop adding water. Then knead the dough until smooth and let it rest in the bowl for a while.

While waiting, He'er rinsed the large bones with water, boiled water in a pot, poured it out, heated the pot again, added some oil, stir-fried the large bones, and then put them into the hot water to simmer over high heat.

Once you've cooked the bone broth, you can take out the prepared dough, roll it into round sheets, stack them up, and then cut them into noodles.

Once the bone broth in the pot had reached the right consistency, Lin He'er lifted the lid, added the noodles one by one and stirred them, then added some chopped radish. After the soup boiled, she added a little salt, and the radish and bone broth noodles were ready.

"Mom, dinner's ready!" Lin He'er called out towards the kitchen.

Lin Niangzi; He Yatou, serve the rice first. I'll go out and call your little brother. That brat is probably playing at your Aunt Feng's house again.

"Mother, wait a minute!" Lin He'er called out to her mother, who was about to leave, as she came out of the kitchen. "Let's pay back Aunt Feng's debt first," she said, taking out more than 20 coins from her pocket.

Hurry up and put it away, silly girl. Mother remembers it. I've brought the money with me this time. I didn't expect that you two are both people who can't keep things to yourself, and you thought of the same thing! Paying back the money owed to others as soon as possible will make me feel more at ease when I'm away from home. It's just that the amount of debts later is quite large. If it were just Lin Niangzi on her own, I really don't know when she would be able to pay it back.

When Madam Lin returned home with her child, the noodles were just the right temperature. The family sat around the table, each holding a bowl of noodles and slurping them down.

"Sister, this noodle soup is delicious, and the broth is great too!" After the meal, Lin Dong didn't hesitate to express his appreciation for his older sister's cooking skills.

"If you like it, we can make it another day." Lin He'er looked at her younger brother, whose already thin body had become even more emaciated due to his illness, and felt very sorry for him. She vowed that once she earned some money, she would definitely make sure to nourish everyone properly.

After dinner, Lin He'er went straight to her room to continue thinking about ways to make money. What she was doing now was enough to cover her daily expenses, but it wasn't making her a fortune. She needed to start a business that would generate quick and easy profits, specifically for her family. That way, even after she got married, her family would have a stable income.
