Traveling through books: Traveling through time with a golden finger to become a soft rice man

This time, Uncle Yuan went to the county town to sell fried peanuts. There were still some unsold fried peanuts left in his basket. He took them out and gave them to Yang Yuanzu and his party to taste.

Yang Yuanzu saw that the peanut shell was a little mushy, so he guessed that Uncle Yuan had fried it directly in the pot.

Uncle Yuan said slowly while distributing the peanuts: "These peanuts are very fragrant. You guys have a try. Unfortunately, I have sold out all the boiled peanuts today. Otherwise, I can ask you to have a taste."

After speaking, Uncle Yuan smiled honestly, his dark weather-beaten face full of yearning for a better life.

Lin Ting'an replied: "It doesn't matter, fried peanuts are delicious too!" After that, he peeled a few and put them in his mouth. The peanuts tasted delicious.

Yang Yuanzu took the peanuts and asked, "Uncle Yuan, did you fry these peanuts directly in the pot?"

Uncle Yuan wondered: "Aren't these... things all made in a pot?"

Yang Yuanzu explained: "What I mean is that you can try putting some fine sand into the pot and frying the peanuts together, so that the peanuts will not be mushy, and it will be more delicious than this."

Uncle Yuan thought for a while and thought he could give it a try. Since peanuts have shells, they won’t get dirty.

At the entrance of the village, Uncle Yuan thanked him and left with a basket on his back.

After the three of them arrived home, Aunt Chen had already prepared lunch.

After lunch they began to settle accounts.

Lin Ting'an carried a pile of money with him, and he was beating a drum on the way home today, for fear of exposing his wealth in front of outsiders.

Several people counted carefully, and when they calculated today's total income, Xiao Fan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, young master... these eight hundred taels are more profitable than our silk business!"

Xiaofan was not used to the Yang family's earning speed, so he was very surprised.

Not only Xiaofan, but also several other people have never made so much money in one day.

Lin Ting'an said proudly: "The main thing is that my husband is great!"

Yang Yuanzu came close to Lin Ting'an, with a bright smile on his face and asked Lin Ting'an for a big red envelope of encouragement.

There's nothing he can do about it, it's his wife who's in charge of the money.

Lin Ting'an graciously agreed, giving everyone ten taels.

Lin Ting'an and Mrs. Chen are responsible for half of the remaining money.

Before going to bed at night, Yang Yuanzu took out the hand stove and gave it to his wife.

Lin Ting'an stepped forward and kissed Yang Yuanzu, then hugged him and rubbed him affectionately.

Yang Yuanzu turned off the lights and got into bed and covered himself with quilt: "Go to sleep, I have to go out to deliver goods tomorrow."

Lin Ting'an:...

The next few people were either delivering goods or on their way to deliver goods.

Yang Huahua and Mrs. Chen were burning charcoal at home, and the other three were divided into two groups to deliver the goods.

Lin Ting'an's master and servant were in a team of two, and Yang Yuanzu was in a team.

In the following days, they sold things at the Baiwei stall to take orders in the morning, and delivered goods door-to-door in the afternoon.

After Yang Yuanzu was busy during the day, he would read for a while or do a few papers in the evening. This was a habit he had developed before.

Lin Ting'an would quietly stay aside to settle accounts.

Since learning numbers and multiplication tables, he has been able to calculate quickly.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"what!"

At night, when everyone was sleeping soundly, several dogs barked and a human scream came from the yard.

Everyone in the Yang family was awakened.

Lin Ting'an wondered: "Isn't this dog still young? Can it bite a thief?"

Yang Yuanzu smiled and said: "The thief probably fell into the trap. I'll go take a look."

He made many traps near his home, and placed many wooden thorns at the bottom of the pits to ensure that the thief's legs would be broken if he fell in.

Lin Ting'an said worriedly: "Don't go, if they have knives and accomplices... I'm afraid."

Yang Yuanzu comforted them: "If I don't come close, I will stand far away and throw stones to scare them."

After he finished speaking, he took a knife to defend himself, and took out the rocks that had been placed in the corner.

Lin Ting'an was worried and followed him out.

They looked in the direction of the barking dogs.

I saw a few small hunting dogs barking in the direction where the thieves were escaping.

Seeing that the people had run away, Yang Yuanzu rewarded the dogs with dried meat.

Because of Yang Yuanzu's nutritious feeding, these little hunting dogs have grown much bigger and stronger than when they were first brought in.

Yang Yuanzu fed the dried meat and said, "Little one, little two, little three, and little four are delicious. Grow up quickly and help your father look after his home and nursery."

Everyone came out with the tools in their hands and asked: "Have the thieves left? Are there any who are hiding?"

Yang Yuanzu replied: "The dogs have stopped barking. They should have gone away."

On the second day, Yang Yuanzu looked at all the traps around him. The trap next to the pig pen had been trampled down, and the wooden thorns inside were stained with dark red blood.

He thought it was the thief who came last time, and he didn't know if he would steal again after experiencing the lesson this time.

Then he searched for some trap references in the browser, and Yang Yuanzu planned to replace the trap device just in case.

After everything was done, Yang Yuanzu started a busy day of making money with everyone.

As the New Year approaches, their charcoal business becomes more and more prosperous. They plan to take advantage of the New Year to make a fortune and take a good rest after the New Year.

They met their uncle's family again when they were delivering goods in the town. What was different from before was that their uncle's family were now very polite to Lin Ting'an, including Yang Yuanzu.

Lin Ting'an's uncle, Lin Junhao, said that the family's silk industry has been in a slump recently and he needs Lin Ting'an to go back and help.

Lin Ting'an didn't pay attention. He knew there was something fishy about this kind of thing.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either adultery or theft, not to mention this snake and scorpion family.

Seeing that Lin Ting'an was unmoved, Lin Junhao persuaded him in the name of Lin Ting'an's father, saying repeatedly: "You can never see your father's hard work disappear!"

Lin Ting'an felt a little shaken in his heart, but he couldn't show it in front of Lin Junhao's father.

Although he really wanted to get his property back, he would not act rashly until he understood Lin Junhao's purpose.

Yang Yuanzu discovered that something was wrong with Xiaofan since he followed Lin Ting'an and saw Lin Junhao.

He observed Xiaofan for several days and found that there was nothing wrong with Xiaofan except for being in a daze occasionally.

He thought Xiaofan might have post-traumatic stress disorder, after all, Xiaofan was covered in bruises when he was rescued from Tianxiang Tower.

After they finished delivering the charcoal to the last store, they planned to stop accepting orders and focus on preparing their own New Year's goods.

Lin Ting'an's New Year's shopping list was well prepared, and Yang Yuanzu only needed to follow behind to pick up the items.

The two of them went home after buying New Year's goods.

The way to celebrate the New Year here is to hang a red cloth in front of your house. The red cloth represents prosperity in the coming year.

Lin Ting'an specially pulled a piece of red cloth to make the door head, red hairband and gift decoration.

The Chinese New Year here also requires visits from relatives and neighbors. Don’t come empty-handed, and gifts must be decorated with red cloth.

Lin Ting'an pulled out a piece of cloth and asked Yang Yuanzu worriedly: "Will this piece of cloth not be enough for the New Year?"

Yang Yuanzu took Lin Ting'an back to buy another horse, and then asked: "Is it enough? If it is not enough, buy some more."

Lin Ting'an nodded, indicating that enough was enough.
