In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.
Chapter 21: Cooperation with brothers.
Lin Dashan drank the last sip of chicken soup.
"Brothers fight together to fight a tiger, and fathers and sons fight together in battle! Your opinion is reasonable. You two brothers should discuss it with each other! No matter what, their two families cannot be left out of this matter! If they hadn't saved the export grain some time ago, we don't know whether your family could survive until now!" Lin Dashan said to Lin Kunlun.
"Well? Lin Shi, Lin Shui, you two call your elder and second uncles over and tell them that you have something important to discuss with them!" Lin Kunlun nodded. He also knew from the original owner's memory that the two brothers were quite good to him. Even though the two sisters-in-law seemed to dislike him, they were indeed generous in giving them food. It was a miracle that the original owner did not starve to death under such circumstances.
Just when Lin Shi and Lin Shui were about to run out, Liu Ye stopped them.
"Each of you take a bowl of chicken soup! I deliberately made more soup today!" Liu Ye served two bowls of chicken soup.
Lin Dashan and Ye Cai'e looked at the third daughter-in-law with satisfaction. This daughter-in-law was sensible.
Lin Kunlun also knew that a chicken, especially a pheasant, was not big. There was not much meat for each person, and it was obvious that there was a lot of chicken soup today. It seemed that Liu Ye had planned this a long time ago. He was also very satisfied with Liu Ye's kindness.
When Lin Shi and Lin Shui carried the chicken soup out, they were inevitably seen by other people in the village.
"Things are really different at Lin Sanwa's house. It seems he made some delicious food today and asked the two kids to send it to his two brothers!" His neighbor Uncle Liu's wife couldn't help but say when she saw this!
"Haven't you heard? They go deep into the mountains to catch pheasants and rabbits. It may be okay if you do it once or twice, but if you go too many times and encounter wild boars, wolves, etc., you don't know whether you will survive!" said Grandpa Liu, shaking his head.
"We don't know how much we'll harvest this year! And I heard that the drought is very widespread! I'm afraid the court will have to collect taxes this year! Then everyone will starve to death! If this goes on, I'm afraid there will be no wild vegetables left in the mountains!" said Uncle Liu's son with a sigh.
Lin Da didn't expect Lin Shi to come over with chicken soup again.
"Uncle, Grandpa, I want you to come home to discuss something." Lin Shi gave the chicken soup to Lin Da and said!
"Do you know what it is?" Lin Da asked curiously!
"I don't know the details! It seems to be about some kind of herbs and food!" Lin Shi couldn't explain it clearly for a moment.
Lin Da took the chicken soup handed over by Lin Shi, and the rich aroma filled his nose, making him swallow his saliva. He raised his head and looked at Lin Shi with a puzzled expression on his face, thinking to himself, why is the Kunlun family so generous today? Is there really something good to discuss?
He followed Lin Shi through the village path and came to the door of Lin Kunlun's house. Lin Er was already standing at the door. Their eyes met, both with a hint of curiosity. They walked into the house together and saw Lin Dashan, Lin Kunlun and Ye Cai'e were already sitting in the main room!
"Big brother, second brother, you are here." Lin Kunlun stood up and greeted the two.
Lin Da and Lin Er looked at each other, nodded, and sat down at the table. Liu Ye saw this. At this time, a few bowls of water were poured.
"I called you two brothers here today because I have something important to discuss." Lin Kunlun said.
Lin Da and Lin Er looked at each other, both of them were full of doubts. Lin Kunlun continued, "I have recently discovered that there are fewer and fewer wild vegetables on the mountain! After all, it is a drought, and many plants on the mountain are also difficult to survive! And you know what the situation is in the fields! This year's harvest will definitely not be good! I went to the town today and heard that the scope of this drought is very wide, so the court will not have grain to provide disaster relief! It may even require taxes to be paid in advance! If this continues, I am afraid that everyone will really be forced to starve to death! Before that, we must stock up more food!"
Having said this, Lin Kunlun stopped and looked at the two people.
"I bought a few bags of grain from the town today! And it's obvious that the grain store in the town is going to raise prices soon! If the harvest is not good this year, I'm afraid we won't be able to buy grain in the town or even in the county! People might really starve to death by then!" Lin Kunlun said with a sigh.
"Who said it wasn't! Last year the imperial court exempted taxes, but we don't know what the situation will be this year! There is not much water at the bottom of the river now, and we are not sure whether it can cover this year's grain!" Lin Da sighed.
He and Lin Er were both honest farmers, and the social hierarchy in ancient times was very strict! It was difficult for a farmer to turn over a new leaf, so all their income came from the land they cultivated! And the land they tracked had heavy taxes every year. So if the land was not thin enough, they had no way to deal with it.
"Brother, brother! Today I went to the town and bought some herbs in exchange for so much food! I found that the townspeople have a great demand for herbs! These herbs are actually useless to us when they are in the mountains! And they can't be eaten as food! So no one has paid attention to them, but there are a lot of them in the mountains! You don't have anything else to do during this period of time, so come with me to the mountains to collect herbs! After collecting the herbs, I will take them to the town to sell them and then exchange them for food and ship them back! At least this way we can ensure that we can survive the upcoming famine season safely!"
After hearing this, Lin Da and Lin Er showed surprised expressions on their faces. They looked at Lin Kunlun, and a warm current surged in their hearts. They knew that Lin Kunlun had always been a grateful person. Now that he had made such a discovery, the first thing he thought of was their relatives.
"Kunlun, you are so thoughtful." Lin Da said with emotion, "Although our family is not going through an easy time, we are really relieved to have a brother like you."
Lin Er nodded and said, "Yes, Kunlun, don't worry, we will work together to get through this difficult time."
Lin Kunlun looked at his two brothers and felt warm in his heart. He knew that with the support and help of his two brothers, they would be able to get through this difficult period.
"I have a few herbs here! Do you recognize them? When you pick them, be careful not to pick them all at once! Pick some and leave some so that you won't run out of them later!" Lin Kunlun showed the herbs he left at home to Lin Da and Lin Er. In fact, Lin Da and Lin Er also knew them. After all, they were children who grew up in the mountains. But no one thought that these inedible things could be taken to the town to exchange for money.
This also shows that the original owner was a relatively shrewd person. After all, he knew how to dig mountain products and sell them for money very early on.
After the family deleted this matter, under Lin Dashan's layout, they kept it secret for the time being. After the family had stored some food, they would let the villagers participate. After all, in Lin Dashan's view, how many medicines could a small town get from a Baicaotang? Lin Kunlun thought about it and nodded in agreement.
At this moment, there was a burst of noise from the village outside. Lin Kunlun and others couldn't help but frown. What happened again? They got up and walked out of the house, only to see a group of villagers gathered together, talking.
