The kang (heated brick bed) for left-behind women

The old shopkeeper's daughter's words undoubtedly gave Lin Dachun a shot in the arm.

Sea buckthorn winemaking, that's a possibility!

At least, it's a direction worth exploring.

Lin Dachun carefully noted down several key points mentioned by the old shopkeeper's daughter, such as the ripeness of the fruit, sugar content, and precautions for fermentation.

"Is what the distillery owner said going to work out?"

"He didn't give a definite answer, but the shopkeeper's daughter was certain. She's from a certain generation and doesn't reject it, but the taste needs to be adjusted. Let's focus on planting the sea buckthorn and raising the sheep first. Once we have a stable income, we can think about brewing wine. We have to take things one step at a time."

"However, what he said today gave us a wake-up call. Selling sea buckthorn fresh fruit or making sugar is not a viable business model. In the future, we really need to think more deeply about how to extract the value from this sour fruit." Lin Dachun still had some ideas.

"Okay, sure."

"You keep watching. I'll take the deer antlers to a traditional Chinese medicine shop and see if they'll accept them," Lin Dachun said.

"Okay." Li Ruoxue was very sensible and well-behaved, and in a short time, she sold some agricultural products.

Lin Dachun took the deer antlers to the traditional Chinese medicine shop.

The other party's boss was also a connoisseur; he recognized it as a good item and quickly offered a price.

"Boss, your price is a bit low. How about this: I'll still sell it to you at this price, but if I bring other herbs to sell next time, you can still buy from me, okay? Let's consider it a long-term partnership." Lin Dachun is a shrewd businessman; maintaining cooperative relationships and long-term development are very important to him.

"Hehe, of course, we also accept Chinese medicine."

The shop owner took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Dachun, saying:

"This is the Chinese medicine our shop is currently accepting. You can select the herbs from this list, and we will accept them all."

"Okay, that's great. I'll take this one."

Lin Dachun was very happy.

Every time I go out, I gain something.

We still need to go out more, explore different avenues, and not work in isolation.

"Ruoxue, the deer antlers are sold. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat, daily necessities, soap, and things like that," Lin Dachun said happily.

"This item isn't sold out yet."

"These are all small items. We can sell some if we can, but it's okay if we don't. Let's go." Lin Dachun took the initiative to start packing up.

After finishing packing, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

I bought a lot of pork, including pork legs.

"Why did you buy so much meat?" Li Ruoxue asked with concern.

"When you're smoking cured meat, you can cut off a piece to eat whenever you have time, right? It smells so good. People can't live without meat, right?" Lin Dachun wasn't a stingy person; he would definitely spend money where necessary.

Then, I bought soap, towels, slippers, kettle, thermos, bowls and other household items to make up for the lack of household supplies.

I also bought some salt, vinegar, oil, etc.

Finally, I bought candy.

"That should be about right, right?" Lin Dachun looked at the goods and bought everything he needed.

At this time.

Li Ruoxue looked towards the women's products section.

"What's wrong? Ruoxue, what else do you want to buy? Tell me, and I'll buy it for you," Lin Dachun said with concern.

"Me." Li Ruoxue blushed.

"What's wrong? Buying underwear? I bought you some last time," Lin Dachun guessed.

Lin Dachun thought that Li Ruoxue was lacking these two things that women need. She had already bought the clothes she needed to wear last time, so what else was she lacking?

In this era, not many women actually wear bellybands anymore, but in their area, it's still very traditional, and many women still wear red bellybands.

Li Ruoxue shook her head.

"Then tell me, what do you want to buy?" Lin Dachun asked.

"Whatever you want to buy, I'll buy it for you," Lin Dachun said, thinking it was a matter of price.

Li Ruoxue blushed, lowered her head, and said shyly, "I'm here."

"You're here?" Lin Dachun asked, first with confusion, then in surprise, exclaiming, "You're pregnant?"

"what?"

"What? Of course not! I mean, that's when it comes to menstruation." Li Ruoxue's face turned even redder.

Lin Dachun was terrified; he thought Li Ruoxue was pregnant.

Only after Li Ruoxue said that did Lin Dachun realize what was going on, and he laughed awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't realize. I know, I know, you want to buy tissues, right?"

Li Ruoxue shook her head again.

"That is?"

"I heard that there's a kind of sanitary napkin that's popular in the city now. It's really useful. I wonder if the supply and marketing cooperative has it?" Li Ruoxue said shyly and embarrassedly.

"Let's go ask them and we'll find out."

Lin Dachun immediately took Li Ruoxue to the women's products store of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Boss lady, do you sell something called sanitary napkins here? It's for women to use when they have their period," Lin Dachun asked.

As soon as these words came out...

All the female employees and customers turned to look at Lin Dachun.

Li Ruoxue buried her head behind Lin Dachun, feeling extremely embarrassed.

The saleswoman chuckled and asked, "Who will be using it?"

"It's definitely not for me," Lin Dachun replied.

"Ha ha."

"Ha ha."

Everyone laughed.

"Brother, you're so funny. Of course we know it wasn't you who used it. You're a man, haha," the saleswoman joked.

"She uses it, she uses it," Lin Dachun immediately turned around and pointed at Li Ruoxue.

The saleswoman glanced at Li Ruoxue, exclaimed, "Wow, sister, you're so beautiful!"

"We do have them here. They're all the rage in the city now. They say they came from abroad, but they're also being produced domestically. Our supply and marketing cooperative has also stocked some, and they're selling very well. Let me show you." The saleswoman immediately took out some goods.

The product descriptions were detailed, explaining how to use it, how to change it, whether it's for night or day use, its size, and so on.

"There are so many intricacies involved here," Lin Dachun remarked.

"Brother, I was telling this to your wife, and you actually studied it seriously?" the saleswoman joked again.

"Ha ha."

The female customers next to them all burst into laughter again.

Lin Dachun glanced at Li Ruoxue, and Li Ruoxue looked over as well. The two locked eyes.

Lin Dachun wanted to explain, but he kept quiet.

"Buy, buy. Buy a few more packs. Just in case. I have money." Lin Dachun happily took out the money.

"Buy less, this stuff is a bit expensive. Buy some toilet paper too, we can mix and match to save some money," Li Ruoxue explained.

"Women's things, these are intimate items, related to health, so we can't skimp on them, we have to buy them," Lin Dachun explained.

Li Ruoxue wanted to object, but Lin Dachun had already paid the money.

"Sister, your husband treats you so well. I've never seen a man so generous and considerate to his wife in this regard. You've really married into a good family," the saleswoman said sincerely.

Lin Dachun and Li Ruoxue were both embarrassed after hearing this.
