After negotiating future business, everyone in the Lin Family was in high spirits. They had brought over thirty pounds of tofu today. The Firehead Monk weighed it and confirmed it to be thirty-five pounds, so the Guest Keeper let monks pay the Lin Family three hundred and fifteen copper coins.
The three members of the Lin Family were absolutely delighted with the earned copper coins.
Leaving Ding’an Temple, Lin Changshu and the old master still couldn’t believe their good fortune.
“Grandfather, I want to buy some food to take home.” Lin Ziyin voiced her request. She promised Lin Yanzhi that she would bring back snacks. They should also stock up on food at home, but they would wait a few days to buy clothing.
“Fine, the silver is what you earned, you can use it however you want.” The old master readily agreed.
The vendors on the open space at the foot of the mountain were still shouting out loud, and the pilgrims gradually went up the mountain.

“The number of pilgrims coming over will be more on the 1st, 10th, and 15th days of the month.” Seeing her curious face, Lin Changshu tried to hide his laughter and said.
Lin Ziyin nodded her head. This information was important. Today was the fifth, and in another five days, the pilgrims would flock together. At that time, she would come and make a small fortune again.
“Pork, top-quality pork.” At the meat stall, seeing Lin Ziyin glance at the stall, the pork vendor shouted passionately.
“Fresh pork.” Another butcher didn’t want to be left behind and piped up.
“How much is this meat?” Lin Ziyin asked as she walked over.
“Twenty copper coins per pound, miss. Take a good look, these are all top-quality streaky pork. They are fat and plump. It would surely be worth your money if you buy it.” Seeing a potential sale, the butcher was ecstatic. “Lean meat is eighteen coins.”
“Get me two pounds of streaky meat, and a pound of lean meat. Also, how much are these?” Lin Ziyin pointed at the lard on the chopping board and asked.
“This one is twenty-five.” Seeing her buying in bulk, the butcher was even happier.
“Alright, get me a pound of that.” Lin Ziyin declared.
Lin Changshu looked slightly anxious on the side. In just a little while, his sister had spent quite a bit of copper coins. However, seeing Lin Ziyin happy with her purchases and the old master showing no signs of interference, all he could do was wait.
“Shopkeeper, since I bought a lot, how about giving me some offal?” Lin Ziyin looked at the offal placed under the chopping board and pretended to bargain.
“Okay, I’ll give it to you for free.” The butcher agreed readily. After all, he was planning to throw these away, so he didn’t lose out at all.
Lin Ziyin cleverly managed to get intestines, pork heart, lungs, stomach, liver for free, and even scored a large bone.
“This is eighty-three copper coins. Here you go.” Lin Ziyin handed over the cash.
“Alright, miss, come back again!” The butcher cheerfully greeted her.
“Sure.” Lin Ziyin nodded. She wasn’t just humoring the butcher. In return for the free items, she would definitely come back again.
“Grandfather, do you know where I can buy some grains?” Lin Ziyin, who had put the meat into Lin Changshu’s basket, asked.
“There’s a place right up ahead.” The old master answered.
“Let’s go buy some flour and rice to bring back.” Lin Ziyin cheerfully said, completely ignoring Lin Changshu’s anxious expression.
“Do as you wish.” The old master repeated his earlier statement, in his view, the money was earned by Lin Ziyin and she should spend it as she sees fit. Besides, it’s not every day that the girl gets to go out.
“Here it is.” Lin Ziyin looked up and saw the words ‘grain shop’, and thus, she walked into the shop first.
