Chapter 9 - The way to make money

Wen Nuan was brought back to her original spot by the wolf.

At this moment, Wen Ran had already come looking for her. She was crying anxiously, calling out, "Third Sister! Third Sister! Where are you?"

Wen Nuan quickly responded loudly, "I'm here! Right here! I was just chasing a chicken over there!"

Wen Ran heard it, and immediately turned around and ran back, and ran back loudly, "Sister, stay there and don't move, I'll be right there !".

Wen Nuan jumped down from the tree and told the wolf "Go back! Don't scare my sister."

Wolf nodded but didn't go back but hide behind the tree to see the situation.Although there are no beasts around here, there are sometimes stupid wild boars who are not afraid of death.

Wen Ran ran back out of breath, her eyes were red, she had obviously cried : "Sister, where did you go? I was scared to death. I thought you jumped off the cliff!"

Nuannuan felt guilty: "Sorry, I also saw a pheasant and chased it to the foot of the mountain. I didn't think about it, why would I jump off the cliff?"

Wen Ran realized that in addition to a hare, Wen Nuan also has an extra pheasant in her hand.

 "Didn't you tried to jump in the river before" Wen Ran thought of something, and immediately shut up, "Sister, next time you see a pheasant, don't chase it, let me know? If the pheasant runs into the mountains, it will be troublesome!"

Wen Ran was still holding Wen Nuan's hand, looking a bit uneasy.

Wen Nuan didn't know what to say, but she could sense a bit of fear and anxiety in Wen Ran.

Wen Nuan said with a serious expression, "Don't worry, I came back as soon as I found the chicken. But don't worry anymore, from now on I won't go off alone. Now that I feel better, I want to make Mom and Dad happy too." She looked very sincere.

Wen Ran looked at her suspiciously, "Really? 

"I promise," Wen Nuan replied firmly.

Wen Ran immediately pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket and said, "Third Sister, sign this.I will believe you!"

Wen Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She should've guessed her sister would do something like this.

"Okay, okay, I believe you now! Just don't scare me again, alright?" Wen Ran said seriously.

Wen Nuan didn't argue anymore and just nodded.

The mountain had a small stream, with water flowing from the top. There were also small creeks and branches. This stream was likely the only water source around the village.There is a small river at the foot of the mountain. The water is very clear and some small fish swim by. This river is the river where the original owner committed suicide by jumping into the river.

Nuannuqn saw many snails in the river.

Only then did she think that people in this village would never eat snails.

Wen nuan held Wen Ran, and pointed to the snails in the river: "Sister Ran, let's catch some snails and fry them and eat them."

 "Snails? Are you talking about this snail?" Wen Ran looked disgusted, and shook her head: "This thing is very dirty, it's muddy! You will have diarrhea after eating it."

They would have to go to the hospital again for diarrhea. It's not a good deal to spend money!

 "Yes, it is the snails! I have a way to make it spit out the mud in its stomach. After the snails spit out the mud, they are delicious."

"How do you know?" Wen Ran looked at her with suspicious expression.

The third sister said as if she had eaten it!

Wen Nuan :…

Can you not look at her like this?

Wen Nuan coughed, pretending to be mysterious: "Sister Ran, I tell you a secret, don't tell anyone! I fell into a coma for a few days, and had a long dream at that time. I dreamed of many people. People there know a lot of things. I have learned a lot in my dreams and have many ways to make money. Some of them make fried snails and sell snails noodles to make money. I don't know if this dream is true, so I want to try If it is true, then we will soon be able to make a lot of money and live a good life."

To be safe, she didn't want people to think she was acting strange, in case others thought she was possessed or something.

 "All dreams are fake." Wen Ran rolled her eyes, she thought it was a secret and not just a dream!

"I think it's true, it's really true! I want to try it. If it's false, then forget it, but if it's true? Then our family can make a lot of money, build big houses, buy land, and open Shop, and older brothers can go to school

The warm words touched Wen Ran, and she also wants to make money.

She glanced at the snails all over the shallow river bottom, it didn't matter if she tried it anyway!

"Well, let's catch some snails and try back. Anyway, we don't need money."

Nuannuan bend over and roll the trousers.

 "Okay. Hey, sister, don't go down to the river! I'll do it!" Wen Ran threw the pheasant in her hand to the river, skillfully rolled up her trouser legs, kicked off the shoes that had broken a hole, and went down to the river to touch the snails.

"Okay."I'll pick two leaves to fill the snails." Wennuan walked to the foot of the mountain and picked two large round tree leaves to hold snails.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wen Ran touched two packs of snails, and the two happily went home.

The big bad wolf watched them enter the house on the mountain, then turned around and went back.

The two returned home, but no one else has returned.

 "Sister, how to deal with these snails?"

Warm and pour a basin of clean water, and soak the snails that have simply cleaned and just soak for a day and night, don't move, it will vomit the mud in the stomach."

"Sister Ran, we will kill the pheasant and cook chicken porridge. Today we will have delicious chicken porridge!"

"Okay, we will kill one and save one and bring it to the town to sell with the rabbit."said wenran.

 "If you will sell it then we will not have meat to eat. Then if we buy meat it will cost money so let's just save it and we will cook tomorrow instead of selling " said nuannuan

Wen Ran thinks about it and find the idea good.

Now the third sister is getting better because of eating minced meat porridge every day.

They started boiling water to peel the chicken skin..

Both sisters know how to remove chickens skin but they do not know how to skin rabbit, so they stayed and waited for Wen Jiarou to come back to deal with them.

A good hare fur can sell for twenty coins. Those hare furs that have been processed can even buy fifty pennies, but it also depends on the color of the coat.

Wen Nuan gently touched the rabbit and found it to be in good condition, meaning the meat would be tasty too.

One hour later, a pot of thick waxy smooth, mellow and fragrant chicken porridge is ready.

Sprinkle some chopped green onions before eating, which not only improves the freshness but also makes the chicken porridge more fragrant and more beautiful.

 "It smells good!" Wen Ran smelled the scent, looked at the porridge in the pot, screaming out of hunger.

They added some edible flowers before cooking, and after stewing with wild ginger, the soup became clear and delicious.

They were hungry and glanced at the sun outside, the scorching sun was clear, and it was noon: "Why haven't grandma and mother come back?"

At noon, Wen Jiarou and the two brothers do not come back for lunch only Granny Wang and Wu shi comes back for dinner.

Early this morning, Wang and Wu went to the village next door to help Feng Dizhu's house wash clothes.

"Today is relatively late, maybe there is more work! But it should be soon." This situation sometimes happens, Wen Ran said indifferently.

At this moment, a woman's voice yelled from outside the courtyard: "Ran,Ran, are you at home? Open the door soon, something bad happened "

   "Here!" Wen Ran ran to open the bamboo door in fright.

Wen Nuan also stood up.
