The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

After Lin Xiaoxue and the second son of the Sun family had gone far away, Lin Xiazhi went out to get the things left by Lin Xiaoxue. The second son of the Sun family questioned Lin Xiaoxue vaguely, which made Lin Xiazhi very happy.

He said he came to visit someone, and the things he gave were some worthless and impractical things. Lin Xiazhi suspected that these were not wanted by the Sun family. He simply didn't take these things in, and threw them away. never came.

The second son of the Sun family and Lin Xiaoxue went back to Lin's village happily, but when they left, the second son of the Sun family was not as affectionate as usual, and he felt a estrangement from Fu Lang's family in his heart.

But everyone in the main house didn't notice it, they were worried about this year's harvest.

Uncle Lin became serious in the last few days, but the rice in the field had already formed, and he could only look at the bad rice and wanted to cry.

After the beginning of autumn, the autumn tiger began to show its power, and it was the time of the year to rush to harvest again, and the Lin family was no exception.

In previous years, only Lin Huzi and Lin Chenggrandfather were working in the Lin family. This year, there was an extra Uncle Lin. Occasionally, Old Lin would also go to the fields to help. The harvesting work was much easier.

First, the rice is cut and placed on the ridge to dry, and then the grains are knocked out. After the grains are dried, they are rolled and hulled, and the rice is the last thing left.

In previous years without any disaster or harm, Lin’s [-]-acre paddy field could produce [-] catties of rice, but after the autumn harvest this year, it was only [-] catties, and the grains were not full at all. After drying, there would be even less rice, so it was not good to buy. Regardless of the price, the Sun family may not accept such rice at all.

Lin Chengzu didn't care about the things he collected, he dragged Lin Huzi back to the hut after finishing his work. In the past few days, it was a little better to snatch the Lin family's food. They still have to go hungry after working every day, and they don't like the people in the main house at all.

Lin Chengzu heaved a sigh of relief when he got home and ate a hot meal. It would be impossible for Dafang to help him next spring, and no one would care.

"Brother, when will the beans be harvested in our field?" Lin Xiazhi remembered that the beans should be harvested after the rice was harvested, and he was thinking about eating tofu.

Two days ago, he went to the dry field to take a look, and found that the bean stalks were all yellow, so he quietly tested it with his golden finger, which showed that it could be harvested.

"I'll go tomorrow. My father and I can finish harvesting the soybeans for an acre of land in half a day." Seeing Lin Xiazhi urging him to collect soybeans, Lin Chengzu originally planned to go the day after tomorrow, but tomorrow is fine.

Because both soybeans and peanuts can be used to extract oil, the yield of soybeans is high and the oil yield is high, so every household will grow some soybeans, and those who have no money to eat pork and lard use soybean oil, although soybean oil has a smell of beany It tastes good, but as long as it is oil, farmers will not dislike it.

Only one mu of soybeans was planted in the dry land assigned to Erfang. Lin Chengzu and Lin Huzi were young and strong, and they made lunch before Lin Xiazhi even started, and put the collected beans outside to bask in the sun.

Lin Xiazhi took a large bowl at the door of the house to soak the beans that were not completely dry, and then started to make lunch.

Lin Xiazhi, the gypsum for making tofu, had already bought it at the pharmacy and was waiting for the soybeans to ripen.

It was not very good to make tofu with soybeans all of a sudden. Lin Xiazhi suppressed it for several days. After drinking soy milk two or three times, he suddenly called Li Xiu and the others over one morning while making breakfast.

"Ah, has the soy milk I boiled gone bad?" Looking at the soy milk in the pot that didn't look like soy milk, Lin Xiazhi said with some uncertainty.

"Brother Xia, did you add anything to it?" Li Xiu smelled the soy milk in the pot. There was no strange smell, but the pot was full of flocs, which really looked like something rancid.

Lin Xiazhi tried hard to think: "Didn't I have a stomachache two days ago? Hu Langzhong asked me to drink some gypsum water. I forgot to wash the spoon after drinking gypsum water this morning. Did the gypsum make the soy milk go bad?" ?”

Gypsum can synthesize stomach acid and can indeed treat some stomach problems, so Lin Xiazhi's words did not arouse Li Xiu's suspicion.

Just looking at this small pot of "spoiled" soy milk, Li Xiu was worried.

Lin Xiazhi looked at the white tofu and swallowed: "Brother, gypsum is edible. If you add it to soy milk, it will go bad. Why don't I give this pot of soy milk to the chickens to see if there is any?" The problem is, if the chicken is fine, then we have a new food."

"A chicken is not cheap." Lin Chengzu disagreed.

The family had raised [-] chickens before, and they have basically been raised with the leftover sweet potato dregs from jelly for the past month. They are already half grown, and they will be able to lay eggs after a while.

"It's okay, just eat a little bit, and you'll be fine."

……

In the end, Lin Chengzu couldn't stand Lin Xiazhi's grind, and agreed to try the chicken.I grabbed a less strong chicken from the chicken coop and isolated it separately, and then scooped a small spoonful of bad soybean milk into the trough.

The chicken was already hungry after not eating all night, and when it smelled the aroma of the food, it immediately came to eat, and ate up the bad soy milk in the trough in a few strokes.

The family watched the chicken finish eating, and after waiting for a while, they found that there was no abnormality in the chicken. They did not see any problems for the time being, so they went to do their own things, and they will know the result tomorrow.

Of course Lin Xiazhi knew that there would be no problem with the chicken, but Li Xiu was still a little worried. A half-sized chicken was worth tens of pennies, and if the chicken died, it would be a waste.

The next day, the chicken was alive and kicking, and Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

On the third day, the chicken was still fine, so Lin Xiazhi tried to make tofu again.

Making tofu is not as simple as making jelly, so Lin Xiazhi has never done it before. He just bought tofu from outside. He needs to do more experiments to determine the ratio of soybeans, water and gypsum powder.

Before the Lin family ate jelly for more than ten days in a row, now the Lin family started to eat tofu in a row.Fortunately, as long as the tofu can be shaped, Lin Xiazhi can make tofu delicious by frying and stewing.

Not to mention the rest of the family, even Lin Xiazhi himself was satisfied.Tofu has high nutritional value and can replace meat to supplement protein. Lin Xiazhi cooks it in different ways every day, and the whole family has gained weight from eating it.

It is said that they have gained a lot of weight, but in fact Lin Xiazhi and Li Xiu are not really fat. They were too thin before, but now they can only be said to look normal and thin.Lin Chengzong has grown a lot taller, but he seems to have less flesh.As for Lin Huzi and Lin Chengzu, who do a lot of physical work every day, they seem to be stronger than before, and there is no major change.

After the autumn harvest, Lin Erfang worked at the head of the village, and the villagers didn't see them very much. They thought that Lin Huzi and Lin Chengzu went to work in the county town, but no one noticed the changes in the family.

While Lin Xiazhi was busy making tofu, his first Mid-Autumn Festival came when he came to this world.

In Jingguo’s Mid-Autumn Festival, we also eat mooncakes to enjoy the moon. Lin Xiazhi originally wanted to make mooncakes by himself to see if he could make some money, but he thought that mooncakes would only be sold for a while, and he had to prepare an oven. In the end, he could only reluctantly give up and devote himself wholeheartedly. research on tofu.

Twenty days have passed since Lin Xiazhi determined the ratio of tofu. During this time, Li Xiu made a large batch of tofu, and Lin Xiazhi planned to go to the county again.

Taking the fresh tofu and head flowers, Lin Xiazhi took Li Xiu to sell his new gadgets.

Only the first few times I went to the county town was by walking on my legs. As the number of deliveries to Jufulou increased, the jelly alone weighed [-] catties, and there were various vegetables. Lin Chengzong had to take Uncle Liu's ox cart to deliver the goods every day. , One person will be charged two pennies per trip, plus one penny more for the goods.

"Good morning, Uncle Liu." Lin Xiazhi wanted to know how to look at a cow, so he took the initiative to chat with Uncle Liu.

A cow is a big item in a dealer's household, much more important than a pig.

A pig that is well cared for for a year can have a net weight of about 150 catties, forty Wen a catty, which means that a pig can be sold for about six taels of silver by the end of the year.

But it can't stop for a whole year, and pig food has to be cooked every day, otherwise the pigs will be very noisy when they are hungry, and they have to clean up frequently, otherwise the whole family will smell bad.

But cattle are different. An upright adult cattle can be sold for more than 20 taels. Apart from the fact that cattle are valuable, it is not troublesome to eat cattle. Usually, you only need to let the cattle go out to graze, and store some hay for the cattle to eat in winter.Cows are very useful, they can help plow the land, travel and collect goods. If a family has a cow, it will definitely make the villagers envious.

Like Uncle Liu, his family’s cattle can usually bring people and goods to the county town, which can bring income to the family. They have raised cattle for so many years, and they have also summed up some key points for raising cattle and selecting cattle. Speak up.

Keeping what Uncle Liu said in mind, add cattle to Lin Xiazhi's purchase list, and add these things that should be added when the family builds a new house.

When they arrived at the county seat, they paid the toll, which was seven renminbi in total, and Lin Chengzu spent another two renminbi to find a porter at the gate of the city, and the two of them delivered the goods to Jufulou together.

Shopkeeper Tong picked up porters for deliveries. There were a lot of things to be sent to Jufulou, and ox carts could not enter the city. half an hour.

Lin Chengzu was reluctant to pay the two pennies per day for moving things, but he went back and asked Lin Xiazhi after hearing what the shopkeeper said.

After a few more days, Lin Chengzu also discovered the benefits of hiring someone. Just like what Xia Geer said, he was tired after spending so long alone, but after hiring someone to help, he could go home without rest. Keep doing things so you can do more with the time you save.

First at Jufulou, Lin Xiazhi regards tofu as more important than the tofu. The tofu is that Li Xiu has not yet started his business. He has a golden finger and has an advantage in farming. Doing a good job in the tofu business is the right way.

When Lin Xiazhi and the others arrived at Jufulou, the shopkeeper Dong happened to settle the two-day payment with Lin Chengzu.

"Master Tong, good morning."

"Brother Xia, you are a rare customer." Shopkeeper Tong greeted Lin Xiazhi warmly when he turned around when he heard Lin Xiazhi's business.
