?Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Relying On (3)_1 Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Relying On (3)_1 Half of it was muttering to herself, the other half was informing the family.

“Brother Dayou, you will take people tomorrow to purchase peanuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, green beans, fava beans, chestnuts, walnuts,” Lin Ziyin arranged, “Oh, yes. When spring comes, we need to find someone specifically to take care of the chestnut and walnut trees on our mountain.”

“Who doesn’t know how to roast beans, peanuts, and melon seeds? And speaking of pine nuts, they have a strong taste— who would like that?” Lin Zige worriedly asked.

“You don’t worry about it. Brother Dayou and big brother, don’t go to the oil mill, the work there is hard. The two of you just need to take Yu Shaohui, Kong Yier and the others to go buy nuts.” Lin Ziyin instructed, “The roasted goods I make are different from others, we definitely won’t lose money at home.”

“If you say it’s feasible, then it is.” As long as a plan was proposed, Lin Changshu still trusted her a lot. “Tomorrow, Brother Dayou and I will take people to buy.”

On the third day, all of the selected villagers indeed gathered at the Lin Family.

“Leave the children to Qian Xuan. Boy or girl, as long as they reach the age of four, they can go to a private school to study. If they do not study well, they will definitely have to endure beatings, and when that time comes, you parents must not be overly sympathetic.” Lin Ziyin joked with the villagers.

“Of course.” All the villagers laughed. If their children have the opportunity to study, who would care if they were beaten by the teacher. There aren’t many children who study and yet aren’t beaten by the teacher, even the Crown Prince is said to be beaten while he studies. Country kids may not have other advantages, but they sure are tough.

The children were warned by their parents a long time ago, and they also saw Lin Changting, Lin Yanzhi, and Bai Dunzi become so much more impressive since they started studying and practicing martial arts. Their little friends have long been envious.

Now this opportunity is in front of them. Most people are excited and thrilled, and they are even more in awe of teacher Qian Xuan.

“Line up by height and follow me.” Qian Xuan sternly yelled as he scolded.

After all of the children squabbled and pushed, they obediently lined up and followed him.

The villagers watched as their children obediently obeyed the rules. Each of them secretly rejoiced that they are smart for seizing the opportunity.

“Those whose names are called follow me.” Cui Da came over with a list and began to read from it.

All the people pricked up their ears to listen. Even the villagers who came to watch for fun quieted down.

An overwhelming majority of the villagers are on the list.

“Those who need work urgently can go to the greenhouse first to help. In a few days, when the machines arrive, some of them will be brought into the factory. Oh, in the mornings, you can choose to start work or choose to go to the mountain to pick chestnuts and other nuts. As long as you don’t harm the woods, the mountain will be open to you all year round. The fruits you pick will be calculated by weight but we won’t be responsible for any injuries.” Lin Ziyin stated in advance, and also announced the prices for pine nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, and walnuts.

“Those who work in the morning will get fifteen copper coins, and after lunch, you must go to work in the greenhouse. There will be a fine for those who are late.” Lin Ziyin said.

Upon hearing this, all the selected villagers were overjoyed. They didn’t expect her to give them a choice, though some were worried.

Thirty copper coins a day is definitely not a small sum. The money from the mountains comes fast, if one does well, it’s possible to earn more than ten taels of silver in a month. But the price of going up the mountain could be high, it could even be the price of their lives.

Not to mention the thought of having to climb up the tall oil pine and red pine to pick pine nuts, that’s enough to make people shudder.

“Uncle Fang, Uncle Laoman, you two couples follow Shi Ban to raise chickens. Just listen to Shi Ban for instructions on how to do it. Of course, if you have any good methods, speak up. If we adopt them, we will give you a certain reward.” Lin Ziyin said to the remaining few people.
