Chapter 31
After he squeezed in, Xu Zhuang realized that there were bright red fruits everywhere, which looked very beautiful from a distance.

However, the more the fruit looked familiar, Xu Zhuang asked Lin Shuang with some puzzlement: "Auntie, isn't this a wild sour fruit? There are plenty of these in the back of our village. Why did you travel so far to pick them?"

In his eyes, these wild sour fruits are worthless. I really don't know why my aunt brought him here?
Lin Shuang smiled without saying a word. Of course she knew about those in the back mountain, but those were veritable "wild sour fruits". Those fruits were not only sour, but also slightly astringent in taste, so they couldn't be eaten at all.

Like these red nai, sweet and sour, crunchy and juicy, the mouthful is full of fruity aroma.

"Don't ask so many questions. I'll cut it later, and you'll catch it down below. Put it all in the back basket. Don't break it."

After Lin Shuang finished speaking, he leaned on the trunk and stepped on the stacked stones to cut.

After watching Lin Shuang cut it for a while, Xu Zhuang imitated Lin Shuang and cut it on the nearby konjac tree.

With Xu Zhuang's help, the basket was soon full. Lin Shuang asked Xu Zhuang to put all the raccoons in the basket on the ox cart before returning.

Lin Shuang had already laid a thick layer of straw on the bullock cart, which was also to prevent the khaki from being damaged. The damaged hongnai would not be so valuable without their appearance.

After going back and forth more than a dozen times, the ox cart was loaded heavily, and the red fruits were particularly gratifying.

Lin Shuang reckoned that it was almost done, so he came down slowly, and it was getting late at the moment, Lin Shuang asked Xu Zhuang to find Muzhi and come back, the two of them cooked porridge over a fire, and ate steamed buns with the porridge.

It wasn't until this moment that Xu Zhuang couldn't help but asked again: "Auntie, you said you want to make money, don't you just use this wild sour fruit to make money?"

Lin Shuang nodded and said with a smile, "That's right! Don't underestimate these fruits, they are delicious, and someone collected them in a truckload."

"Is this food delicious? Auntie, you lied to me, right?" Xu Zhuang didn't believe it. None of them had tasted the food in the back mountain. This kind of fruit was so unpalatable that someone would like to eat it and pay a whole car received.

However, Xu Zhuang didn't understand the thoughts of rich people, so he stopped asking. If this thing can really be exchanged for money, then he will be saved.

"Auntie, shall we go down the mountain at night?" Xu Zhuang asked Lin Shuang, who was thumping his arms tiredly, while eating steamed buns.

"Let's go down the mountain early tomorrow morning. Then you go back to my house first, and come back after I sell the money. Don't scare the person who collects this fruit with your hurt face."

Lin Shuang glanced at Xu Zhuang's face, the bruises from last night were getting deeper now, and began to faintly turn purple, it was indeed a bit inappropriate to enter the city like this.

Xu Zhuang touched his face and nodded: "Okay, then auntie, you should be careful when driving into the city by yourself."

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhuang could say such a thing, Lin Shuang nodded with a smile: "Go to bed early after eating! We are going down the mountain early tomorrow morning."

As Lin Shuang planned, the two drove the ox cart down the mountain along the original road early in the morning, while Xu Zhuang walked back, and Lin Shuang drove the ox cart straight to the west city.

Shopkeeper Pan didn't expect Lin Shuang to pick a oxcart of happy fruits so quickly, and all of them were of high quality.

Although he was annoyed that the person who sent out even lost a pregnant woman, he still had a smiling face and asked people to count the number of Xiguo.

Early this morning, the person sent out came back again and said that he had searched for several miles around, and Lin Shuang had long since disappeared, and he hadn't even seen the ox cart.

At first, I thought I was fooled, and I am afraid that the Xiguo is not a product of this area at all, but I didn't expect Lin Shuang to bring a cart full of Xiguo at noon.

"Shuang Niang, you really brought a lot of happy fruits this time!" Shopkeeper Pan asked Lin Shuang calmly, still in a calm manner.

"It's not thanks to the shopkeeper Topan. If I didn't have this bullock cart, how could I have brought so many here." Lin Shuang didn't notice anything unusual about the other party, but replied happily.

"Ah ha ha." Shopkeeper Pan laughed, and asked casually, "Isn't this trip quite far?"

"Fortunately, it's not too far away."

As soon as Lin Shuang finished returning, the accountant inside took the silver and sent it to Lin Shuang.

"This is your money. This car was originally 24 taels plus 25 Wen. Our shopkeeper told you to calculate the whole amount for you. The total is [-] taels of silver. You take it."

Holding the money sent by the accountant, Lin Shuang's hands trembled slightly: she had never made so much money all at once.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Pan." Lin Shuang was very grateful to shopkeeper Pan. If he hadn't collected the whole truck, how could she have made so much money all at once.

"You don't need to thank me. I also want to thank Shuangniang. This hongnai is almost sold out recently. Fortunately, you came in time. I don't know if the agreement we signed before can be changed, and you can provide it to me a few more times. Of course, I will also raise some prices for you appropriately."

The reason why shopkeeper Pan wanted to say this was because he hoped that Lin Shuang could pick them again as soon as possible, so that he would have the opportunity to find out where the happy fruit was planted.

Lin Shuang hesitated for a moment or shook his head: It's better not to be so greedy, and if there are too many things at once, this thing will not be so valuable.

Now because of her rebirth, this hongnai has appeared on the market earlier, and she can't advance any further.

After all, there is still a period of time before the person who discovered the hongnai should show up. She can't pick up all the trees before they find out.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuang greeted shopkeeper Pan and said, "My shopkeeper, as I said before, this thing is rare and expensive, and it's not that I don't want to make money, it's that the fruit has to grow slowly. The cars are barely enough, and the rest are immature.”

"So that's the case, but I'm impatient, that's fine! Shuangniang remembers that the fruit will be delivered to me as soon as it is ripe."

Shopkeeper Pan was a little disappointed. He originally hoped that Lin Shuang would go there again. This time, his people would not be lost. Who would have thought that would be such an answer.

Saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Pan, Lin Shuang left the West City again.

This time, he didn't stop at all, and drove the ox cart directly back to the broken house at the foot of the West Mountain.

Hearing the voice outside, Xu Zhuang ran out all of a sudden: "Auntie, are you back? How are you doing?"

"Don't worry! Your debt can be repaid." Lin Shuang had already kept ten taels of silver for hiding.However, taking out the remaining 15 taels made Xu Zhuang's eyes light up.

"Auntie, this fruit can really sell for money!" Xu Zhuang shouted in surprise.

"Of course, has my aunt lied to you?" Lin Shuang said and counted eight taels from it: "You take the five taels to pay off the debt, and take the remaining two taels home to pay your father, and the remaining one tael Save it for yourself, don’t spend it indiscriminately.”

"Thank you, auntie, thank you auntie." Xu Zhuang took the money and thanked him hastily.

"You don't have to thank me, you have contributed here too, that's enough, take the money and go home quickly!"

Xu Zhuang grabbed the silver and looked at Lin Shuang, his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything, turned around and ran out.
