Farmer's Favorite

The father said the father was right and the wife said the wife was right. No matter how much money Lin Zhiqi's family asked for, Lin Wuzhu couldn't take it. After all, it was his big black who bit people.

Many people gathered outside the door, although they all felt that Lin Wuzhu's family was a bit unlucky.

But what Lin Zhiqi said was not wrong. If Lin De and his wife hadn't discovered it in time, this life would have been lost.

When the old man entered the door, all the people gathered at the door made way for him.

This man was the most admired old man in the village before Zhuang Xinyan went down the mountain.

It was the only old doctor in Xishan Village.

Lao Langzhong is also not a native of the village, but he has lived in the village for decades. The villagers go to the mountains to hunt, and any injuries will be treated by Lao Langzhong.

Not to mention the medical skills, but the cost of medicine is not expensive. I will definitely not ask for a tael of silver just because I was bitten twice. At most, I will charge a dozen cash. They have bad legs and feet, and they can more or less recognize some herbs, so they just let the injured family members go up the mountain to pick them.

Over the past few decades, it has really saved many people from suffering a lot.

And the first sentence he said now made everyone a little surprised. Even the members of Lin Zhiqi's family were not as angry as before, but an old man came out and asked: "Old Langzhong, what's on my son's leg?" You have seen the injury, Dahei was beside my son when Linde saved people, who bit him if it wasn't Dahei?"

"That's right, my son must have seen that big black trapped in the trap and wanted to save it, but he was almost killed by big black." Lin Zhiqi's mother also hurriedly interjected.

Lin Wuzhu was tall and strong, and he was a good hand at work, but he was speechless when he argued, and he had to pay a lot of money for talking like Lin Zhiqi's family. Not to mention, I have to thank you.

Unexpectedly, the old Langzhong kicked the wooden stick in his hand fiercely, and said with raised eyebrows: "As long as you have the nerve to say that you are a hunter for many years, the marks of dog bites and wolf bites are not visible? "

Although wolves and dogs look similar in size, as long as you can carefully identify the bite wounds, you can still see some differences.

Lin Zhiqi's family felt a little heartbroken when they heard this, and quickly said, "My son's wound is so big, who can see it."

While speaking, there was some guilty conscience in his eyes, and he added forcefully: "Besides, that place is only dark. If wolves really come and go, my son won't be alive."

The old man glared at this man, so he knew that he was just messing around.

So, he stretched out the wooden stick and poked the dazed Lin Wuzhu fiercely, and said sharply, "You fool, is it possible that you still forgot what happened two years ago?"

Lin Wuzhu was so drunk that he didn't know why, but when he saw the old Langzhong was about to set off to call, he suddenly remembered something, and immediately turned around and dragged Dahei who was still sleeping soundly amidst the noise, Stretching his hand towards Dahei's mouth, he said: "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot if I didn't tell the old man. Two years ago, my family Dahei went hunting in the mountains, and I don't know why he broke a canine tooth. You can't recognize the scars of wolves and dogs, but you can definitely recognize the bite marks of this one and two canines."

Dahei passively exposed his teeth, raised his eyelids, and looked very impatient.

However, even so, everyone saw with their own eyes that there was indeed a broken canine tooth in Dahei's mouth.

Tang also reacted, and she also took a step forward, and said, "Let's go to your house to have a look at Lin Zhiqi, if it was really bitten by a canine tooth, we will pay the half of the money."

The people in Lin Zhiqi's family suddenly fell silent.

In fact, they didn't look at the wound before they came, but they also knew that they were bitten by a big wolf.

Although Lin Zhiqi passed out, he didn't know if he was still afraid or what. The corners of his mouth kept murmuring while he was asleep. When he listened carefully, he could still hear the word wolf.

But who made Lin De and his wife keep saying that only Dahei was there, and thinking about the money Lin Wuzhu had earned during this period, it was inevitable that they would have bad thoughts, but no one thought that Dahei had lost a tooth .

She poked her neck and said again: "That's also the injury my Zhiqi suffered in order to save you Dahei."

How could Lin Wuzhu not see what these people were up to at this time.

No one knew what happened at that time, and he didn't just say it with his own mouth, so he said: "Then I still said that my Dahei saved your son, and Lin De also said it, if he didn't hear the dog How could they find the sound of screaming, if you really want to talk about it, you have to give me Dahei a thank you gift."

Talking and talking, from the beginning of the aggressive, several people in Lin Zhiqi's family were like quails with their necks curled up, and they left in disgrace.

As for giving Dahei a thank you gift, it is naturally impossible.

When Zhuang Xinyan heard about this, it was Lin Wuzhu who told him when he came to the door.

Looking at Dahei who was chasing and playing with Tangao in the courtyard, Zhuang Xinyan said to the people around him: "Do you think that biting wolf is Tangao's heartless father?"

Lin Qi reached out and tapped his shoulder lightly, and said amusedly: "Look at what you said, how could it be such a coincidence."

Zhuang Xinyan shrugged.

Lin Qi added another sentence: "But in the future, unless it is absolutely necessary, you can't hunt wolves. No one can say which wolf is the father of Tan Gao."

The corners of Zhuang Xinyan's mouth twitched, he suddenly remembered that he had really hunted a wolf, but that skinny wolf shouldn't be Tan Gao's father, right?

He looked at the courtyard, rather than playing with the charcoal cake, it was better to say that Dahei was playing with the charcoal cake, and his eyesight should not be that bad.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou brought three aunts to the door, and all three of them came for the matter of hiring helpers that Zhuang Xinyan said earlier.

After entering the door, she told the history.

Zhuang Xinyan didn't know the three aunts very well, but Lin Qi did recognize them.

The place to pickle salted eggs has also been found, and it is also over the kitchen.

The kitchen was made too big at the beginning, but now it can be used to pickle salted eggs and make flower cakes, so Lin Qi brought people there and taught them how to do it.

Zhuang Xinyan had already prepared the recipe, and the three aunts only needed to marinate it. In this way, he didn't have to worry about the recipe of salted eggs leaking out.

After the people left, Mrs. Zhou admired her a lot, and she said, "You are a good boy, with these three, you have hired six people to work."

Zhuang Xinyan smiled, isn't it just six.

Three flower cakes, three salted eggs.

However, one of them was Xiaoyi, a child laborer.

Xiao Yi earned a lot of money with Yu Ning, but he still didn't turn down his errand here, but whenever he had time, he would come over, and the wages were still paid with flower cakes.

Seeing that he insisted on coming to help, Zhuang Xinyan didn't refuse, but asked the other two to help in private, so that he could do less work.

When the two were talking, Lin Qi suddenly trotted in. With a smile on his face, he shouted loudly, "Hurry up and help Grandma Ma move something."

As soon as he went out, Lin Qi saw Grandma Ma coming forward with some burdens on her back. There was something he didn't understand, so he immediately turned around and came back to instruct the head of the family to carry the heavy loads.

Instigated by this as a matter of course, Zhuang Xinyan didn't feel any dislike, on the contrary, the smile on his face was even bigger.

Taking a big step is heading towards the door.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Ma decided to move here.

She knew that Zhuang Xinyan and Zhuang Xinyan were sincere, but she was also sincere now. After moving here, she could mention the two of them and help them.

The burden on his back was taken over, Lin Ma raised his hand and said: "I really can't carry the heavy load, although I know your house is not short of anything, but I still have two cabinets, but I must You have to move it for me, I am reluctant to throw it away."

"Okay, Lin Qi will take you back to the house, and I'll move it for you right away." Zhuang Xinyan responded, handed the burden to Lin Qi, greeted Mrs. Zhou, and walked outside.

Zhou looked at it, and then realized that the two couples planned to take Lin Ma over to live with them.

On the contrary, he looked at the two of them differently, and at the same time felt happy for Lin Mashi.

Before Grandma Ma made a decision, Lin and Qi had already prepared the room.

It's not a wing room but a back room.

According to the town's statement, the back room is the last of the three courtyards, and because of its secrecy, it is either the daughter of the family or the warehouse.

It's just that there is no such saying in their village.

The back room is extremely spacious, and there is a small courtyard, where elderly people live quietly.

And it's all packed inside.

There are all kinds of household items, even the bedding and mattresses are brand new.

Lin Mashi came in, and quickly said: "Hurry up and put them away, I have all these, just use mine."

"Grandma Ma, don't refuse. Now that you are home, you can't dislike the things you use at home." Lin Qi said mischievously.

Lin Mashi nodded the tip of his nose and said with a smile, "I don't think I'm disgusted."

She looked around, even when she was with the old man, she never lived in such a good place. Lin Ma thought that she would never be able to enjoy the blessings of her children and grandchildren in her life, but she did not expect that God would give her a gift at this time. coming.

She held Lin Qi's hand and chattered.

When Zhuang Xinyan carried the counter into the room, he happened to see two people sitting together with smiles on their faces.

The old and the young get along very well.

……

Time flies, and the days of peace and tranquility always pass quickly.

From late autumn to winter.

The heavy snow fell like goose feathers, swirling one after another.

Lin Qi watched the snowflakes falling outside through the window, and immediately lost the desire to go out.

This year's winter is colder than in previous years. Compared with going out, he still prefers to burn charcoal in the house.

The door was opened at this time, and there was a gust of cold wind in the room. Fortunately, Zhuang Xinyan closed it, and when he entered the room, he put his hands on the charcoal fire to warm, "This is only the second snow, you It's so cold, what should I do in the future?"

Lin Qi pursed his lips, he felt that he was spoiled by Zhuang Xinyan on time.

In the heavy snow in previous years, he didn't wear so much on his body, and he didn't burn charcoal fires all day long at home. Although he felt cold, he still went out to work. It's not like now, he doesn't even need to do work, he doesn't even go out. willing.

He said, "Am I getting lazy?"

Zhuang Xinyan laughed out loud when he heard this, and stretched out his somewhat warm hands towards the frowning man, holding Lin Qi's face in both hands, he said with a smile: "Be lazy, don't be lazy." How do you show that I, a husband, love you."

In fact, it is also a joke to say.

In Zhuang Xinyan's eyes, Lin Qi is really not lazy, and he would rather be lazy.

The hand holding his face was very warm, and Lin Qi subconsciously rubbed it with his face.

Zhuang Xinyan stroked it with his fingertips, he said: "Tomorrow the salted eggs will be almost ready to eat, I plan to let the folks try the water first."

There is no doubt that the salted eggs are easy to sell, not to mention that shopkeeper Yuan will come to remind you every now and then, even Shi Yu has sent letters from Shangjing to ask for the goods.But letting the folks sell it may not necessarily lead to a lot of sales.

After all, the price of salted eggs is too high.

Ordinary people are willing to spend a penny to sell a small piece of flower cake, but they are absolutely unwilling to spend a few pennies to buy an egg, no matter how delicious the egg is, they are reluctant to part with it.

Therefore, even if a salted egg earns more than a piece of flower cake, it must not work if you want to sell flower cakes like that.

This time, he only planned to let Lin Bao be the first few people, and try to run for two days first to see the effect.

"Business will definitely be good." Lin Qi was relieved, and he could only be relieved. Compared with Zhuang Xinyan, he didn't know much about business, but he knew that even if the people in the village couldn't sell it.

So many salted eggs made at home can be sold, after all, shopkeeper Yuan and Shi Yu are rushing to get them.

Zhuang Xinyan leaned over and stamped on his mouth, and they looked at each other and smiled.

……

But, the reality is not so good.

Lin Baocheng and the others have also tasted the taste of salted eggs, and it is indeed very good.

But when they heard that the salted eggs of eggs were sold for [-] renminbi each, and the duck eggs were sold for [-] renminbi each, they all opened their mouths in amazement, but they all unavoidably became ambitious. .

If this business is done well, it will make more money than flower cakes.

So, everyone went out with a pole.

As a result, some were picked out in the morning, and some were picked back at night.

None of the five or six people sold.

This time, they were all dumbfounded.

But it's not impossible to understand, after all, salted eggs are so expensive, even people in the town may not be willing to spend money to buy one, even if they are boasting wildly, there may not be anyone who is willing to pay such an expensive price to buy it.

Many people just quit their minds and planned to just do the flower cake business.

On the contrary, Lin Baocheng was a little anxious, he emptied the rice in a few mouthfuls, and walked towards the dealer, and he said after entering the door: "Brother, you can think of a way about the salted eggs, I'm boasting to the old customers that the salted eggs are good Eat it, everyone doesn’t believe it, if it’s cheap, I can give them some to try, but how can I afford a salted egg, after all, this salted egg is worth a pound of pork.”

Even Lin Baocheng, who sells salted eggs, thinks it is expensive, let alone people who buy it.

Zhuang Xinyan was not in a hurry, he followed the hair of the charcoal cake and said, "I can't buy it privately, why don't you try a shop?"

"Shop?" Lin Baocheng seemed a little puzzled, but then he patted on him suddenly and said, "I said, there are many ways, brother, why didn't I think of restaurants."

Isn't that right? If you want to say something, the most expensive food is the restaurant.

Just a random green vegetable is worth more than ten yuan, not to mention, the price of a salted egg is nothing to the restaurant, and the restaurant sells it well, so that the rich people in the town I must also know that it is naturally better to be able to do business for the rich than for the common people.

The more Lin Baocheng thought about it, the more excited he became. If the person in front of him wasn't Zhuang Xinyan, he even wanted to run up and hug him.

But it couldn't prevent him from being excited, so he jumped a few times, and the sound was so loud that the sleeping charcoal cake raised his head.

If we say the biggest change in the past two months, it is the charcoal cake.

I don't know if it's because of the good food. The three palm-sized charcoal cakes have grown up a lot at this time, and their fur is black and shiny, and it is extremely smooth. However, no matter how good it looks, it can't change its childhood problems.

Especially love to sleep.

Especially staying in the room with Lin Qi, sleeping soundly while burning charcoal fire.

Charcoal Cake poked its head in a daze, as if it didn't see anything that could arouse its attention, and then buried itself in Zhuang Xinyan's lap and fell asleep.

Lin Baoxiang solved the problem, without the worry on his face, he said to another person in the room: "Second brother, when are you going to visit Lin Dong, his stomach moved yesterday, it's funny."

It's a pity that this was just showing off in front of Zhuang Xinyan. Before he could say a few words, Zhuang Xinyan drove him out with a wave of his hand.

Lin Baocheng didn't think there was anything wrong.

In other words, it has become a habit for a long time, and it is normal to be driven away like disgusted.

He stepped on the snow and headed towards home against the night.

But he was already thinking about which restaurant to go to tomorrow.

There are quite a few restaurants in the town, but he only went to one, and he borrowed his brother's help to grab a meal.

Lin Baocheng thought, since his brother chose that restaurant at that time, he might as well go to that restaurant tomorrow to ask, maybe he could use his brother's light to negotiate a business?

Thinking of this, the smile on his face looked a little silly.
