Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Earn Again (1)_1 Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Earn Again (1)_1 Upon reaching the gate of their home, they saw the courtyard door was wide open with Lin Zige sitting inside, embroidering and frequently looking at the gate.
“Second sister.” Lin Changting, seeing their figures, immediately jumped up in joy.
Lin Yanzhi, who was squatting on the ground, was so moved he didn’t know what to say.
“We are back.” Lin Ziyin said, smiling as she took out some candy figures and handed them to the two little figures who rushed over to meet them.
“Candy figures?” Lin Changting’s eyes lit up.
“Candy.” Lin Yanzhi was so happy he didn’t know what to do.
“Yes, let’s go in and eat them.” Lin Ziyin said, laughing as she patted the little ones’ heads.
“Thank you, Second Sister.” Lin Changting said, looking up.
“Thanks, Sister.” Lin Yanzhi also gratefully said with a big grin.
“Are you back? Sold everything?” Lin Zige eagerly asked as she came out.
“We’ve sold everything.” Lin Ziyin nodded, “We’ll eat well tonight.”
“How much did you sell?” Lin Zige asked further.
“A total of 315 wen.” Lin Changshu answered in his usual tone.
“You really managed to get a high price.” Lin Zige was stunned. She had thought Lin Ziyin was daydreaming that morning, but it turned out to be true after all.
“I need to soak the beans right away.” Lin Ziyin thought of the important task at hand, rushed into the house, found the beans she had chosen, poured them into a basin, then washed them and soaked them in water.
“Why did you buy so much stuff?” When she saw the food and meat in the basket, Lin Zige was shocked.
“Because we spent almost all the copper coins we earned today selling tofu.” Lin Ziyin replied with a laugh. “It looks like we won’t be eating at noon, but we’ll have a good meal tonight. And don’t let anyone else know.”
“How could you spend it all? You even bought wheat flour. What a waste.” Lin Zige found it hard to digest Lin Ziyin’s reckless spending.
“Don’t touch it. We can use the wheat flour for the tofu. The tofu we made this morning was plain because we didn’t have it. From now on, we will use it.” Lin Ziyin stopped Lin Zige’s complaints.
“By the way, Sister, is there any remaining tofu residue from this morning?” She asked.
“It’s all still there.” Lin Zige answered.
“Let’s stir-fry some for lunch.” Lin Ziyin suggested. It was good to have tofu residue to eat when there were no grains. She was feeling peckish already.
“Sure.” Lin Zige agreed. She had been worrying about what to do with the leftover tofu residue.
“By the way, the leftover tofu residue can be used to feed pigs. It will make them fatter.” Lin Ziyin reminded her again.
Lin Changshu and the old man exchanged puzzled glances. What an odd piece of advice.
Lin Ziyin didn’t care. She took charge of the cooking and quickly stir-fried the tofu residue with vegetables.
Because she generously used all the oil they had at home, the stir-fried tofu residue was especially fragrant. However, her extravagance made Zige feel heartache for a while.
“It’s delicious.” This was Lin Changting’s second satisfying meal of the day. The tofu residue was oily and he was extremely content.
The little ones also ate a lot.
“This afternoon, your sister-in-law and I will quickly finish the work in the field so that we can help with making tofu.” Lin Changshu, who couldn’t sit still, put down his bowl and was ready to work in the field again.
“I’ll go too.” The old man announced before picking up his tools and heading out the door.
“I’m going to sow some more seeds in the vegetable garden.” Lin Zige hesitated before speaking up.
“Sister, that’s good. Changting and I will go make some dumplings and clean up this mess.” Lin Ziyin replied, with a smile on her face.
