The Big Farmer of Time Traveling
Chapter 043: Jiangning County
In this situation, Lin Chengzu had no choice but to stand up and say: "Uncles, brother Fulang, thank you for helping us move things today. This thatched cottage needs to be repaired in many places, and there is not even a place to sit inside. I would like to invite everyone to have a drink Clean water is not enough, there is really no way to entertain, after we settle here, we must invite the villagers to come to our house for a bowl of moving wine!"
Now Lin Chengzu is basically the head of the Erfang family. The land deeds and money for the division of the family are all with him. He stands up to speak on behalf of the family.
"Boy Chengzu, it's not a problem to be a helper from the same village." Lin Dashan, who lives nearby, smiled heartily, "You father and son can rest up this thatched hut after working hard in the afternoon, so we won't get in the way here , what else do you need, come to our house to get it, don't be polite."
It was almost lunch time, and the other villagers left after saying a few words. Their stoves hadn't even cooked yet, and everyone was hungry.
The Lin family randomly ate a few mouthfuls of the leftover miscellaneous grains and steamed buns from the morning. After filling their stomachs a little, they began to tidy up the thatched cottage. They had to clean it up in the afternoon, otherwise they would have no place to live at night.
It is said to be a thatched hut, but in fact the roof is made of straw instead of tiles. Fortunately, the Lizheng family often comes to clean it, so although the hut looks broken, it is actually quite good inside. We only need to re-spread the straw on the roof and then stick it on. Put paper on the window and wipe the dust to live.
Lin Xiazhi was pleasantly surprised to find a water tank in the kitchen, and hurriedly fetched water from the stream behind the thatched house to wash the water tank, wipe the kitchen, and then lit a fire to boil the water.
Lin Huzi and Lin Chengzu worked together to move out the unusable things from the thatched cottage, only to find that many parts of the straw on the roof had been blown away. It was fine on a sunny day and in the afternoon it was probably going to leak. Xia Zhi went to Lin Dashan's house next door to borrow some money.
Calculating the time, Lin Dashan's family should have finished their lunch, and Lin Xiazhi just put on his straw hat and ran out. Everyone is living a tight life these days, so it's best not to come to people when they are eating.
Arriving at Lin Dashan's house, Lin Xiazhi didn't go in without authorization, but called out at the door: "Uncle Dashan, Liu Ah, are you at home?"
Fulang Liu of Lin Dashan went out and saw that it was Lin Xiazhi, and said enthusiastically, "It's Brother Xia, come in quickly, and I'll pour you a bowl of water."
Lin Xiazhi stepped forward and grabbed Liu Fulang: "Don't worry about Liu, I came here to see if there is any extra straw in your house. If there is any, I will have the cheek to borrow it. The straw in the thatched house has been blown away a lot , my elder brother said it needs to be resurfaced."
Straw is the dried rice stalk after harvesting. It has many functions in the farmhouse, such as making beds, making shoes, lighting fires, etc., and even the poor will use straw to stuff their single clothes to keep warm.
"Okay, I'll get it for you." Hearing that Lin Xiazhi came to borrow the straw, Liu Fulang went directly to the firewood room and brought out two bundles that he sorted out: "Needless to say whether to borrow or not, the rice will be harvested right away. They are all left over from last year, you can just use them in your family, and you can still make beds on the roof if you don’t use them up, so don’t be polite with Liu Amo.”
Seeing Lin Xiazhi's thin arms and legs, and a bundle of straw almost reaching Lin Xiazhi's waist, Liu Fulang called into the house, "Tie Zhu, come here and do me a favor, take these straws to the thatched cottage." , By the way, ask if there is anything missing, folks in the village can help if they can."
Liu Fulang asked Lin Tiezhu to fetch two more bundles of straw, and Lin Tiezhu easily picked up the four bundles of straw, and strode towards the cottage.
Liu Fulang went into the house and gave Lin Xiazhi an earthenware pot, which contained cool mung bean soup. Lin Xiazhi's eyes lit up. .
He was not polite to Liu Fulang: "Thank you, Liu, I will return the jar to you later."
The villagers all remember his good Lin Xiazhi, and when their family becomes rich, they must lead the villagers to live a good life.
Lin Tiezhu had long legs and walked quickly, and he arrived at the thatched cottage within a few steps.Lin Xiazhi ran behind with a pottery pot in his arms but didn't keep up.Lin Tiezhu climbed onto the roof and fixed the straw with Lin Chengzu, and Lin Xiazhi walked there.
Lin Tiezhu is two years older than Lin Chengzu, and the two have had a good relationship since childhood, talking about recent things while repairing the house.
Lin Tiezhu was very happy for Lin Chengzu about the separation of the family. His family had already arranged for him to marry him. Unlike Lin Chengzu, he was scolded by the youngest Lin when the matchmaker came to the door, because the youngest Lin didn't want to make the money Dowry money.Now that the family is separated, Xiu Ahma can let Lin Chengzu take care of his brother.
The thatched hut has four rooms in total, two bedrooms, a main room and a kitchen. There is a latrine built at random far outside. Two young men repaired the roofs of the four rooms in twos and twos.
After the roof was repaired, Li Xiu and Lin Xiazhi went in to clean the house. First, they used wooden sticks to remove the cobwebs at the corners of the wall. Wipe the dust off the belongings before moving in, and the move is considered complete.
Lin Tiezhu helped move the big belongings into the hut and then went home. There was still some meticulous work left at home. Lin Chengzu couldn't help much. He took the net and went to the river to see if he could catch some fish. Add some meatiness to tonight.
The same is true for Lin Huzi. Seeing him, Lin Xiazhi had nothing to do with him, so he simply suggested that he go to the mountain to cut firewood. The bundle of firewood from the family division could not be burned for a few days. In the future, a lot of firewood will be needed to make jelly.
I was lucky today, Lin Chengzu returned home after a while, with four more fish in his hands.Two of them were kept at home, and the remaining two were going to be sent to Lin Dashan's house. Lin Xiazhi took out the clay pots and washed them, and asked him to return them when he passed by.
Before dinner, Lin Chengzu went to pick up Lin Chengzong, Li Xiu cleaned up the house, Lin Xiazhi was cooking in the kitchen, Lin Huzi hadn't come back from chopping firewood, and the family went about their own business.
For dinner, fish fillet porridge is used. If there is no salt, Lin Xiazhi marinates the fish with ginger slices and green onions to remove the fishy smell.
Start the soup with the head of the pot early, wait for the fish soup to be milky white, pick up the fish meat, then pour the incompletely shelled brown rice into the porridge, pour the fish meat back into the pot, sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions With a little salt, there is no fishy smell at all, and it is so fresh that people want to swallow their tongues.
Simple fish porridge, with simple ingredients, but delicious taste, the whole family was very satisfied with it, and praised Lin Xiazhi's good cooking skills. Lin Xiazhi contracted the family's three meals a day.
On the other hand, the main house of the Lin family is not so harmonious.
I heard that there was a quarrel at home that night. It seems that the youngest Lin suspected that Liu Chunhua was stealing food, but Liu Chunhua refused to admit it. stop.
No matter how noisy the Lin family's main house was, after dinner, Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzu were discussing how to make reasonable use of the ten taels of silver to prepare for their jelly noodle stall, so that they could use money to make money earlier.
Now that the family has been separated, Lin Huzi and Lin Chengzu don't need to take care of the fields of the master's house anymore, and Li Xiu doesn't need to tend the livestock and vegetable fields.
Lin Xiazhi understands the temperament of my father and ah, let alone soliciting business, even shopping is very cramped, it is best not to let them do foreign exchange, they can only do things at home.Both of them are good at farm work, and they can tidy up two acres of vegetable fields in a few clicks. The two of them are likely to be called to work by the people in the old house when they are idle at home.Lin Xiazhi thought of a way. They went up the mountain to find wood, whether it was to make tables and stools or to build a house in the future, wood was indispensable.
Old man Lin knows how to do woodwork. Although he has never taught Lin Huzi, Lin Huzi still knows how to look at wood.What Lin Xiazhi meant was that they go up the mountain to look for it first, and if they see good wood, they don't have to rush to bring it back, just make a mark and find a time to cut it together.
After arranging what Lin Huzi and Li Xiu would do the next day, Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzu took the time to go to the streets to have a look.
The jelly Fang Zilin Xiazhi has already prepared, and the tables, chairs and benches are ready to open. You have to go to the county to inspect the market before deciding how many tables, chairs and benches to make.
When Lin Xiazhi first came to this world, it was May 50th, and now it has been more than [-] days and it is just August, and the weather is so hot that it must be very popular to launch jelly at this time.
This is Lin Xiazhi's first visit to the county seat. Jiangning County is more prosperous than Lin Xiazhi expected. After all, it relies on the Nu River, the largest river in Jingguo, and has a large port, but there are countless businessmen passing by every day.
The main road in the village leads directly to the east gate of the county seat. Near the east gate is the port, which is the place with the most shops. Now seven or eight streets have been developed.
In order to maintain order, the county magistrate specially planned four large open spaces for itinerant vendors to set up stalls. Two yamen servants patrol every day. The management is careful, and it looks good.
There are all kinds of things selling on the street, and the sound of hawking keeps coming and going. Lin Xiazhi is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She finds everything interesting.
In modern times, Lin Xiazhi has seen a lot of things in the metropolis. Such bustling small streets are only found in ancient towns, but many ancient towns were renovated later, which look good, but unfortunately there is no such atmosphere.
"Brother, it's good to set up a stall here. I believe our jelly will be very popular." Lin Xiazhi said excitedly.
Looking at the clothes of these people, you can tell that as long as it tastes good, these merchants are definitely willing to pay for it.
Lin Xiazhi found a noodle stall. The vendors were a couple in their 30s. They looked friendly, and the stall looked clean.
Pulling Lin Chengzu to sit down, he ordered a bowl of plain noodles.
It's not yet noon, it's not the peak time for dining, and there are only one or two diners in the noodle stalls.
Lin Xiazhi chose a place closer to the noodle pot, and approached the noodle cooker Fu Lang: "Here, have you been selling noodles here?"
Now Lin Chengzu is basically the head of the Erfang family. The land deeds and money for the division of the family are all with him. He stands up to speak on behalf of the family.
"Boy Chengzu, it's not a problem to be a helper from the same village." Lin Dashan, who lives nearby, smiled heartily, "You father and son can rest up this thatched hut after working hard in the afternoon, so we won't get in the way here , what else do you need, come to our house to get it, don't be polite."
