No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Chapter 253 Even after losing my memory, I still miss him

Red clouds appeared on the horizon, and the sun slid down from the top of the mountain in a flash.

Lin Mingyan raised her head, feeling the cool sea breeze, and asked, "Is the tide going to rise slowly?"

They were already at the front, with the waves at their feet.

The receding tide was not noticeable just now, but now I can seem to feel the violent crash of the waves.

The Fourth Master doesn't know much about this, and is even less knowledgeable than Lin Mingyan, who often watches short videos.

Yu Niang was originally far away, but now she ran over and said, "Fourth Brother... Fourth Brother, Sister-in-law, let's go back. The tide is coming in."

In fact, there were not many people on the coast, and most of them had already gone home.

It gets dark soon after the sun sets, and coupled with the high tide, the beach is not calm.

The wind was much cooler than before. The Fourth Master was afraid that Lin Mingyan would get a headache from the wind again, so he said, "Then let's go back. We should have enough to eat today."

This is the truth. Since Lin Mingyan came, we have gained a lot more.

Now both of their small baskets were half full.

Yu Niang came over curiously to take a look and let out an envious gasp.

She looked at her basket which only had a few clams in it and thought that people with ability are always better than others wherever they go.

As for Aunt Feng, she couldn't bear it after digging twice and left with the main group.

Yu Niang was a little embarrassed and made excuses: "I am old, and my legs and waist can't bear squatting."

It would have been fine if my mother was lazy and gluttonous before, but now she can just work hard and support two people.

Now that there are two more people in the family, we can't let the noble man support her mother, right?

Fortunately, Lin Mingyan and the Fourth Master didn't say anything, otherwise she would have become an idiot on the spot.

When I returned to the courtyard, the sky was already gray, and the light from the fire in the kitchen shone through, revealing a bit of warmth.

Yu Niang put down the small basket by the well and called to the kitchen, "Mom, have you boiled the water?"

"Burning, burning!" Aunt Feng rushed out and picked up their baskets, asking, "What good things did you pick up?"

"Oh, so many crabs? Should I cook them?"

She came back early just to boil water and cook seafood, after all, she had been hungry for a long time.

Seeing so many crabs, my mouth started to drool and my mouth started to spit out saliva.

Yu Niang quickly stopped her: "Mom, what are you doing? Those were picked up by Fourth Brother and the others!"

It would be fine if the other person was willing to give it to them, but why are they so eager to do so without asking?

The Fourth Master didn't know how to deal with this person, but Lin Mingyan smiled and said, "It's okay. We're all family. Why should we divide what you picked up and what I picked up?"

Aunt Feng seemed to have found a backer, and immediately became confident and assertive. She snatched the basket and said, "That's right! That's what people said!"

After saying that, he took the seafood in to cook and eat.

This time, without Yu Niang stopping her, Lin Mingyan spoke first, "Don't worry, Auntie. Now that the water is boiling, let Si...Silang wash first."

She had long discovered that this young master in distress was still a young master.

Although he didn't complain about being tired while working, he must have felt very uncomfortable after finishing his work, covered in sweat and water.

On the way back, she secretly fiddled with her clothes several times and was obviously very uncomfortable.

It's not that she's a lackey, but he's worked so hard, so he should be rewarded with a bath.

The Fourth Master didn't expect that Lin Mingyan still remembered him even after losing her memory. For a moment, he felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.

Aunt Feng knew that these two people were important people, so she had no choice but to agree and fetch the water she had worked so hard to boil for them to wash.

She muttered, "It's really particular. This hot water is so useless. I can't wash well by the well..."

Lin Mingyan pretended not to hear and divided the seafood with the help of Yu Niang.

I guess the crabs can fill a whole pot, and the clams are not many, so I can just make a soup.

Apart from a few shrimps, there were only two large octopuses left, both of which were picked up by Lin Mingyan due to her good luck.

"How do you cook seafood here?" Lin Mingyan was a little confused.

Yu Niang scratched her head and said, "Just boil it in water. The crabs are very fresh when boiled. Adding some salt will make them delicious."

There are no other benefits to living by the sea, but there is enough salt, and every household will secretly dry some.

Although the imperial court controlled salt, as long as you didn't sell it, it was fine to dry some at home.

Lin Mingyan had a headache: "Just cook it?!"

What kind of dark cuisine is this?

Yu Niang heard disdain in her tone and hesitated for a moment: "Side...sister-in-law, how do you want to cook it?"

Of course Lin Mingyan wanted to stir-fry it, but there was definitely no seasoning, so she could only think about it.

Yu Niang continued, "Fourth brother gave me some silver. The peddler will be coming to the village to buy some rice. Is there anything else you want?"

She went to say hello at noon and asked the village peddler to come to her house when he came back.

As they were talking, there was a sound of knocking on a bamboo tube outside, like some secret signal.

Yu Niang shook the water off her hands and stood up: "Look, the peddler is here."

Lin Mingyan followed her curiously and saw a short man standing outside the yard with a load of goods on his shoulders.

"Yuniang, what do you want to buy?" The peddler was small but had a loud voice.

Yu Niang opened the gate and said in the dim light of the fire, "I want to buy some rice."

Then he turned around and called Lin Mingyan: "Sister-in-law, do you need anything?"

Lin Mingyan went over to take a look and saw all sorts of things on the small shoulder pole.

From rice oil, soy sauce and vinegar to silk flower handkerchiefs, everything is available.

Lin Mingyan even saw the garlic and ginger. She swallowed and asked, "How much money do you have?"

Yu Niang took out the silver thread and asked, "Brother Dafeng, how much is this silver thread worth?"

The peddler took one look and exclaimed, "Wow, this silver thread is really well made. It's a pity it's been taken apart. If it were a filigree hairpin, it would be worth quite a bit."

"Then how much is it worth now?" Yu Niang was a little disappointed.

The peddler smiled and said, "We are from the same village, so I won't lie. I can give you two taels of silver for this silver thread."

After collecting the money, he had to find someone to make it into hairpins and then find a way to sell it. All the money he earned was hard-earned.

Yu Niang had no choice, but Lin Mingyan asked, "How much would it sell for if it were made into a hairpin?"

"That's a rare opportunity. I can offer five...six taels," said the peddler.

Lin Mingyan smiled and said, "Can we buy something on credit?"

"I'll sell you the hairpin tomorrow morning."

Her craftsmanship is pretty good. She can earn three or four taels of silver in a whole night, which is a sure profit.

The peddler hesitated: "This..."

"What are you afraid of? We can only sell you things under two taels of silver on credit," Lin Mingyan reassured him. "Even if I can't make the hairpin tomorrow morning, I can still give you the silver thread."

The peddler looked at Yu Niang and nodded in agreement.

Lin Mingyan bought rice, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic...
