"Ms. Lin, is the salt roast ready?"

"Can I eat it?"

At this time, many people gathered around the fire, and they all looked at it curiously.

Lin Shuangshuang pulled out a few roasted black leaves from the ash pile and peeled off a white solid block inside.

Lin Shuangshuang crushed a little bit and tasted it, trembling from the saltiness.

She also read this method from a book, and she didn't expect it to succeed the first time.

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the expectant and curious eyes of several children, broke off a small piece and handed it over: "Try it for yourselves."

After several children tasted it, they jumped up and down excitedly: "It's successful, it's successful, it's really salt, it's really salt."

"Mom, try it, it's really salt."

"Dad, you should try it too, Mrs. Lin is so amazing, she can make salt."

Salt and iron have been an industry monopolized by the imperial court since ancient times. In the eyes of the common people, salt and iron are considered high-ranking entities.

Unexpectedly, they witnessed the making process of salt with their own eyes today, so they felt that Lin Shuangshuang was omnipotent, and their admiration for her reached an unprecedented height.

The excited shouts of the children spread throughout the village, and everyone knew that Lin Shuangshuang had made salt from reed leaves.

Although I haven't tasted it myself, seeing the happy faces of those children, it's definitely not fake.

"Ms. Lin is so amazing, she can even make salt."

"You can eat salt without spending money from now on."

"I'll try the same thing tomorrow. Some things look easier than they do."

"Yes, yes, I will try it tomorrow too."

While everyone was discussing, there was a sudden commotion on the mountain, followed by the howling of wild beasts.

"What happened?"

Several young people ran down the mountain and shouted excitedly: "We have caught wild boars. There are fifteen of them, some big and some small."

"There are three more wolves."

"so much?"

The young man nodded excitedly: "Yes, thanks to Madam Lin's trap."

"The trap designed by Mrs. Lin is so easy to use."

Just as he was talking, a group of people came down from the mountain, carrying wild boars one by one, attracting everyone's attention.

Although I just heard the news, I am still shocked when I see it with my own eyes.

"Why are there so many?"

"What is the trap that's so powerful?"

"Yes, one or two is okay, but how do you explain these dozen? Could it be that they have taken away the wild boar's nest?"

The men who set up the traps with their own hands smiled with pride and excitement: "It's almost the same as a whole bunch of traps."

"I, Lao Zhang, have been hunting all my life and have never seen such a powerful trap."

"We usually set up traps, either by digging holes or using nets, but Mrs. Lin is different."

"Why is it different?"

Everyone was curious.

"Ms. Lin asked us to make a fence with wooden stakes and put bait in the middle of the fence. Then we tied the fence to the surrounding trees with ropes and hung them in mid-air. We sent people to squat on the trees to guard the prey."

"After the prey enters, several of us cut the rope together, drop the fence, and directly trap the prey in it."

"The rest of us squatted all night but didn't find any prey. We thought we were going to come back empty-handed."

"Unexpectedly, a group of wild boars suddenly rushed into the trap to eat the bait, and more than a dozen of them were caught at once."

A large group of people spoke enthusiastically, and saliva flew everywhere.

Lin Shuangshuang heard the news and came over to check on the situation. The villagers unconsciously made way for her.

"Caught so many?"

"Thanks to Mrs. Lin, the trap you designed is simply too powerful."

Lin Shuangshuang looked at a large group of wild boars, most of which were alive. There were also a few with bloody holes in their stomachs, lying motionless on the ground, probably dead.

Then she looked at the whimpering puppies next to her. The older one was dead, and the smaller ones were not yet a month old. They were so furry and cute.

"These two puppies were also caught in a trap?"

"..."

It turns out that there are things in this world that Mrs. Lin doesn’t understand, and this is clearly a wolf.

"Ms. Lin, this is a wolf, not a dog!"

"These three wolves were found in another trap. When they were found, the female wolf was already dead and the two cubs were still suckling."

"These two little wolves won't live long, so why not take care of these three wolves tonight?"

Lin Shuangshuang couldn't bear to see the little wolf cub crawling to her feet and rubbing her trouser legs.

"Leave these two little wolves to me, and ask the village chief how to divide the rest."

"The living ones are raised first, and the dead ones are divided among each family. It is not easy to store for a long time and is easy to rot."

Lin Shuangshuang is the great benefactor of the village. He just wants two wolves, and everyone will not disagree.

Lin Shuangshuang took the two wolf cubs home, and when they were raised, they would be able to look after the home and care for the family.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. There are almost no yams to be dug on the mountain, and all the wild boars caught before have been eaten.

A dozen wild boars may seem like a lot, but when divided into the mouths of more than 10,000 people, it's really not much.

As a result, the villagers and victims of Hegou Village once again fell into the crisis of food shortage.

Just when everyone was desperately wondering whether they could survive the last half month, a huge wheel stood in the middle of the river.

Dozens of craftsmen and all the onlookers stared at the waterwheel, hoping that the huge wheel would turn on its own.

Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly: "Move, move."

"It really turned around on its own."

Everyone cheered and clapped together, almost spontaneously.

Lin Shuangshuang's nervous heart finally relaxed. After all, it was her first time to do these things, and she was more nervous than anyone else.

After all, theory is theory and reality is reality. Theory is easy to say but not easy to implement.

The village chief's beard trembled with excitement: "It's finally done."

"Daughter-in-law of the Gu family, this wheel has really turned."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded and smiled happily.

"Everyone has worked hard today."

"Everyone should go back and have a good rest today. Get up early tomorrow morning to share the fish in the fish pond!"

"Okay, great." Everyone burst into thunderous cheers.

After that, the crowd dispersed quite a bit, but some of them didn't want to leave, so they continued to stand around and watch the fun.

Because the craftsmen did not stop, but continued to set up the sink.

They heard that this could drain the water from the river, but they didn't know if it was true or not, so they wanted to stay and have a look.

It wasn't until late at night that the craftsmen added the sink and went back to rest.

Early the next morning, when it was just dawn, the riverside was already crowded with people, all coming to see the water tanker pumping water.

The happiest ones were the children, some were carried on their backs, some were hugged, and some were jumping and running around the river.

At this time, after a night of pumping water, half of the water in the deep pit next to it had been pumped out.

Lin Shuangshuang looked at where the water level had sunk, and mentally estimated how long it would take to drain the river dry.

"It will probably take another three days to pump. The river is too long."
