Hearing the children playing in the courtyard, Lin Mo also got up, walked out of the room after moving around with a stiff body, and watched them calmly for a few minutes, Lin Mo also imitated the four children at home standing in the big Brush teeth on slate.
The Lin family is not considered wealthy in Daling Village, but they can still eat enough. The Lin family has 15 mu of paddy fields and 20 mu of dry land. After deducting the annual taxes, the rest is basically enough for the family's annual rations. .
But besides the basic satiety, there is also the need to supplement some nutrition for the children in the family. In addition, Lin Mo, the youngest brother of the Lin family, has been weak since he was a child, and Lin Xiu, the second son of the Lin family, also needs a lot of silver to obtain his fame.
So even though Lin Cheng and Father Lin went out to do part-time jobs and earned a lot of money every year, they still couldn't make the Lin family richer. Even if the family had some savings, they still had to guard against the illness of a few children in the family.
To say that Daling Village is most famous for its various fruits. Daling Village is surrounded by three mountains, leaving only a road in the southeast to connect with neighboring villages and lead to the county seat.
Although there are some fruit trees on the three mountains, they are not as full of fruit trees as they are now. It is because the supply of fruits from all over the country suddenly exceeded the demand ten years ago, and the shortage came to the remote county here.
Others saw the business opportunities, and the farmers were not stupid, so they started to plant fruit trees on the hills assigned to their own homes. In the first two years, all the families in Daling Village did make a lot of money, but after that they started selling fruit trees. not going out.
Up to now, except for the occasional picking up the mountain for the family to eat, the rest are left to fall and rotten, and no one cares about it.
Now, the fruit forests all over the mountain have become a place for children in Daling Village to play. Because they are not well managed, the fruit trees bear much less fruit.
The weeds in the fields have been removed in half a month. Today, the Lin family's father and elder brother Lin Cheng plan to go deeper into the mountains to hunt and find herbs along the way.
As the ancients said, we rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water.
There are three big mountains around Daling Village. In addition to farming, the men in the village also go up to the mountains to hunt part-time. Even if they can’t hunt big ones to increase the family’s income, they can hunt some small ones to add meat to the family table.
After breakfast, Father Lin and Lin Cheng took their things and went out. Because the farm work was temporarily done, Mother Lin and Aunt Lin stayed at home to embroider some things, and planned to sell them in the town when they went to the next market.
"Mother, my brother and I went to pick some fruits at the foot of the mountain."
Mother Lin was a little surprised when she heard that Mo Ge'er offered to leave the house, but she still didn't object. It's better to go out for a walk, so as not to stay at home all day and get bored.
"Go ahead, just don't run into the mountains, Xiao Xing, look at your fourth brother, the sun is shining at noon, so don't suffer from heat stroke."
"Understood, mother." Lin Xing put it on the back of the basket by the wall, and replied.
"Fourth uncle, I'm going too."
Lin Xiaoya's eyes lit up when she heard Uncle Fourth said that she was going out, and she quickly stood up with her hands on the ground and walked towards Lin Mo with short legs.
When Lin Xiaonan, who was playing with the chick on the other side, heard it, he suddenly felt that the chicken was not very fun, and turned to look at Lin Mo with anticipation in his eyes.
"No." Lin Mo refused expressionlessly.
Seeing Lin Mo's expressionless face, Xiaoya felt a little frightened, clutching the clothes with both hands, feeling a little overwhelmed, Xiaoya felt that Fourth Uncle seemed to be angry, he was so fierce when he wasn't smiling.
"...Stay at home with brother obediently, and fourth uncle will bring you some delicious food." Lin Mo stroked her head strangely.
After Lin Mo and the two children finished explaining, they carried the basket on their backs and left with Lin Xing and Lin Chen. Aunt Lin looked at her two children eagerly watching the back of their uncle leaving, shook her head and smiled helplessly, and then continued the embroidery work in her hand. .
Not long after he walked out of the house, Lin Mo saw a river, and there were many people washing clothes by the river. Lin Mo glanced at it casually, and he was a little surprised that there were many men doing laundry.
Before Lin Mo could search for relevant memories in his mind, a passing villager and Lin Xing and Lin Chen greeted him, interrupting his train of thought.
"It's the little brother of the Lin family. I heard that he was sick again a few days ago. Are you feeling better now?" Aunt Zhang, who was holding a clothes basket in her right hand, asked with a smile.
"It's ready." Lin Mo nodded coldly.
"That's good. If you want me to say, you guys should go out and walk around more. If you stay at home all day, you won't get sick from boredom."
Aunt Zhang didn't feel strange about Lin Mo's indifference. Lin Mo didn't often walk around the village, and other people didn't know Lin Mo very well. What they heard was that the Lin family had a delicate and weak brother with a somewhat restrained personality.
brother? What's the meaning? Lin Mo was a little puzzled. Before, he felt a little strange about Lin's mother calling him. He thought it was the nickname of the original body, so he didn't care much.
Although Lin Mo has some memories of his original body, if he doesn't deliberately dig out the situation, what he knows is only general, general and vague, even if this dynasty is historical or fictional, he has not figured it out yet.
And it's impossible for Lin Mo to ask others openly like this. Isn't this telling others that something is wrong with him.
"Aunt Zhang, let's go first, the sun has already risen, let's talk another day."
Lin Chen heard that Aunt Zhang had been talking to them for so long without stopping, so she hurriedly said, if the conversation continued, the sun would be too high, and she was talking all the time, Lin Chen could feel the impatience of the fourth brother.
In fact, it was just a frown of doubt.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Zhang, the three brothers continued on their way. Lin Chen glanced at the fourth brother who was walking beside him and heaved a sigh of relief. He always felt that the fourth brother had changed a lot recently, but this change didn't seem to be bad.
The three of them walked to a small path that forked the road. There were many bushes on both sides of the road, and there were some fruit trees between the bushes.
"The fruits on both sides of the road are not sweet, and the best ones are on the other side of the mountain. They are crisp and juicy." Seeing the fourth brother looking up at the fruit trees by the road, Lin Xing explained that he thought he wanted to eat them.
"How far is it?" Lin Mo looked back and continued on his way.
Since there are more delicious ones, Lin Mo will not wrong himself to eat those defective products. Although he really wants to eat them, Lin Mo can still afford to wait.
"Hurry up, the front piece is enough, and there is a purple wild fruit inside, which is sweet and sour, and delicious."
Lin Xing pointed to the large fruit forest in the distance ahead. Some fruit trees still had flowers on their branches, while others were already full of fruit.
Lin Mo's body has been transformed by spiritual spring water. Although it has not been completely transformed, his five sense organs are still several times more sensitive than ordinary people, and he can faintly smell the sweetness of fruits here.
Lin Mo sniffed lightly through his nostrils. The morning air was very fresh. The refreshing smell of the grass and the sweetness of the fruits made Lin Mo feel much better, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.
Lin Mo's brows and eyes were slightly bent, and he quickened his pace and walked forward. Lin Xing and Lin Chen who fell behind looked at each other for a few seconds, and hurriedly followed. Why does it feel like the fourth brother is very happy.
"Does fourth brother like fruit very much?"
"Basically, eating more fruits is good for your health." Lin Mo was in a good mood, and his tone of voice was not so cold.
After walking for a short time, Lin Mo arrived. Lin Mo took a few steps forward, tiptoed and reached out to pick a red apple.
While eating, Lin Mo walked forward and looked around. He found that there are quite a lot of fruit varieties here.
"Is the type of fruit in our family the same as other people's?" Lin Mo asked as he ate an apple and then picked a big pear.
"It's not exactly the same. There are more on our side, and there are some unseen wild fruits under the cliff inside." Lin Chen explained.
"Fifth brother, what are you doing?"
Lin Chen, who was following Lin Mo, turned his head and didn't see his twin brother following him. He looked around and found Lin Xing squatting under a tree.
"There are a few strange plants here, come and have a look, the fruits are still colorful." Lin Xing turned around and waved his hand at them to call them over.
Lin Mo was a little puzzled after seeing it in the past. Isn't that the colored pepper that is only available in modern times? Why did it exist here in ancient times? Shouldn't it be a mutation
Moreover, Lin Mo also found that there was a pepper tree growing beside it. Looking to the side, he found another tomato tree with small clusters of fruits that looked like grapes.
"Is there only this one? What about that one? Did you only plant one?" Lin Mo asked, pointing to the big tomato tree.
"There are two more plants of this kind a little bit ahead. As for the one with clusters of green fruits hanging on it, there is only one. It grew out of nowhere half a year ago, but the fruit can only be eaten when it turns red."
"It will hurt your stomach if you eat it uncooked. Brother Wu has tried it." Lin Chen added.
Lin Xing: "..."
Tomatoes are not ripe, of course, you can't eat them.
Afterwards, Lin Mo followed them around the orchard. The planting of fruit trees in the orchard was quite neat. One variety was planted in one area, and the land was divided squarely.
After shopping around, Lin Mo found that this place was a bit different from the ancient times he imagined. Some fruits were obviously only modern or imported from abroad, but they could already be grown on a large scale here.
Lin Mo doesn't know if other crops are also so advanced, but he can be sure that this is not a historical period, maybe it is really a fictional history.
After shopping around and eating half full, Lin Mo and his two younger brothers went to pick grapes under the cliff, which is the purple sour and sweet wild fruit that Lin Xing mentioned before.
Because the grapes here are wild and grow on the cliff, the fruit is a little big. For a young man like Lin Mo, one bite is just the right size.
After reading it, Lin Xing can already decide how to make money. There are a lot of fruits here, and there are ready-made materials. You can make money just by wine, not to mention other foods related to fruits.
