The Princess of Northern Land

Salt in this era was ridiculously expensive, and ordinary people simply couldn't afford it.

Besides, the Lin family doesn't have much spare money at the moment. Lin Ziyin's mouth is filled with two pounds of salt. Lin Zige was almost frightened to death by her.

"I need it urgently." Lin Ziyin saw that her expression was helpless and rogue. She was not an ignorant person and knew that salt was precious in ancient times. But making tofu is really difficult without salt brine. Although it is said that gypsum can be used instead of salt brine, Lin Ziyin feels that tofu made with gypsum is much worse in taste than tofu made with salt brine.

"Otherwise, you can buy me a pound." Lin Ziyin lowered his request.

"This?" Lin Zige wanted to refuse, but after seeing Lin Ziyin's expectant eyes, he suppressed the words that came to his lips.

"Buy." The little bun who was following Lin Ziyin didn't know what she wanted to buy, but he could also look at people's eyes. Maybe he felt that Lin Ziyin's longing eyes were too obvious, so he went up and pulled Lin Zige's sleeves and followed. Begging to intercede.

"Okay, let me go over and take a look." Lin Zige sighed secretly. Normally, Lin Ziyin would never have made such an unreasonable request if he knew the situation at home. Now that Ziyin's brain was not in good condition and it was the first time she made a request, Lin Zige couldn't bear to refuse her request.

Forget it, there isn't much salt at home anyway, so just buy some. Even if you waste some, the rest can be used.

With this idea in mind, Lin Zige took some copper coins out of the house and prepared to buy salt from a small shop in the village.

"Thank you Yanzhi for interceding for your aunt." Lin Ziyin hugged the thin and frail Lin Yanzhi and kissed her.

The little guy immediately blushed with embarrassment, but he liked the feeling of being pampered, so he followed Lin Ziyin's strength and snuggled into her arms.

"Auntie will buy you snacks in a few days." Lin Ziyin felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the child's thin appearance.

"No." Unexpectedly, Lin Yanzhi firmly rejected her after a moment's hesitation. "If you don't have money, take medicine."

Although the child did not have much vocabulary, Lin Ziyin still understood it, and she almost shed tears. This child is too sensible! It is true that the children of the poor will become rich early.

"It's okay. After tomorrow, my aunt can earn some money, and then she will have money to buy you snacks. The money earned is also attributed to Yan Zhi, but when the money is not available, Yan Zhi still has to help my aunt. Keep it a secret." Lin Ziyin vowed secretly that with such a family member by her side, she must improve her family's life as soon as possible.

"Don't say it." Lin Yanzhi covered his mouth.

Lin Ziyin was amused by him, hugging him and laughing. The little guy didn't know what she was laughing about, but thinking about what Lin Ziyin said, there will be money at home soon, and he opened his mouth wide with joy. stand up.

After a while, Lin Zige came back carrying a small bag of salt.

"Here you go, save a little." She handed the salt to Lin Ziyin and warned hesitantly.

"I know." Lin Ziyin replied with a smile. After today, she believed that she would soon be able to make back the money she spent on the salt.

"Sister, please light a fire for me." Lin Ziyin said to Lin Zige.

"What are you making a fire for?" Lin Zige asked differently, "It will be a while before dinner is ready."

"I want to boil salt." Lin Ziyin replied, "I am useful anyway."

Lin Zige wanted to persuade her to rest in peace and recuperate, but when she saw the white cloth bandaged on Lin Ziyin's head, she took back what she wanted to say. Forget it, even the salt has been bought, so there is no shortage of firewood.
