The family sat down, and Lin Qinghuan enthusiastically recommended today’s spicy hot pot.
“Try it and see if it’s good.”
Qingyu recognized what was in it. Weren’t those the things from the creek that always bit people?
He used to play in the creek with Lin Jiadong, and those red things often pinched his butt. He still had a bit of a shadow from that.
But he understood. The family wasn’t well-off, and his brother-in-law’s leg needed treatment. Saving on food was necessary.
Last time, his sister had made pork offal delicious too. This time would be the same.
When the small river fish entered his mouth, a spicy, fragrant burst exploded on his tongue, making him chew faster.
How could his sister make things from the creek taste so good?
He knew others had tried before, but the fish was too fishy to swallow. People only caught them to feed livestock.
His sister’s cooking had no fishy smell at all. It was so delicious he couldn’t stop.
Lin Qinghuan could tell from everyone’s expressions that the spicy hot pot had won them over.
She peeled a crawfish for each of them and placed the meat at the bottom of their bowls. “Try this. It’s pretty good too.”
Xiao Hanting trusted her completely. Lin Qinghuan had surprised him so many times that he no longer hesitated. Whatever she told him to eat, he ate.
The mood was good, so Lin Qinghuan brought up her idea.
“When I went to town today, I made friends with a merchant. He buys all sorts of odds and ends, even mountain goods. So I thought, I could hire some people to help me catch these things, pay them wages, and then sell them. I’d make a profit, wouldn’t I?”
Lin Qingyu stood up excitedly, his eyes sparkling like fireworks. “Sister, is that true? There are plenty of these in the village. You don’t need to hire anyone. I’ll help you catch them.”
Lin Qinghuan immediately refused him, and the same went for Da Bao and Xiao Bao.
“Your priority now is to study hard and forge a bright future. That’s what matters. And the same for Da Bao and Xiao Bao. I’ve already thought it through. The merchant’s offer is good. I’ll deduct a bit from the wages I pay, and I can make a little profit to get by. Anyway, there are plenty of farming families in the village with nothing to do but gossip. If they know catching these things earns money, they’ll be more eager than anyone.”
She was right, so Lin Qingyu and Xiao Hanting agreed without much persuasion, supporting her in this endeavor.
After dinner, Lin Qingyu washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, while Lin Qinghuan heated some water to wash up. She had handled river fish today and smelled a bit fishy.
When she returned to the room, Xiao Hanting had already cleaned himself up and was lying properly on the bed reading a book.
Lin Qinghuan felt a little helpless. This man still valued his dignity. He always took care of himself while she was washing up, not wanting to trouble her.
“By the way, besides collecting odds and ends and mountain goods, I also want to hire a few craftsmen to fence off the backyard for a storage room. That way, I can stack the goods. Also, I want to build two more rooms. The kids can’t keep crowding together. They need their own space. I’ve already asked about the workers’ wages.”
