Farmer's Favorite

After Lin Baocheng left, Zhuang Xinyan put the charcoal cake in his arms on the ground and left the room.

Since it snowed, the charcoal cake's nest has been completely moved from the door to their room. Although he has never seen it, Zhuang Xinyan is sure that this guy must have slept secretly, and the person who is used to it There was no other person besides Lin Qi.

I'm afraid it's exactly the same, for the two masters, Charcoal cake is more inclined to Lin Qi.

After being put on the ground, it stood up, arched its waist, and stretched its waist. For some reason, it suddenly started spinning, chasing its wagging tail.

Insanely stupid.

When Zhuang Xinyan entered the door again, what he saw was Lin Qi slumped on the back of the chair, trembling with laughter.

He stretched out his foot and lightly kicked the charcoal cake, letting it go aside.

Then he put the tub at Lin Qi's feet, squatted down and took off his shoes for him.

Even after experiencing it many times, Lin Qi felt a little shy after being treated like this. He quickly withdrew his foot and said dryly, "I'll do it myself."

As he said that, Jiang quickly took off his shoes and socks and put them into the basin.

The hot water in the basin was a bit scalding, with a hint of dry medicinal scent. After winter, and before going to bed, he always soaked in a basin, so that his hands and feet would not be so cold, but rather comfortable.

Zhuang Xinyan didn't say much, moved a small stool over, took off his shoes and socks, and put his feet in it too.

As soon as he put it down, he frowned slightly, "The water is a bit hot, if you can't stand it, put it on my feet."

Fingertips touched fingertips, Lin Qi moved his toes to touch the instep of the person next to him, but when someone came after him, he backed away again.

Zhuang Xinyan pinched his chin and said with a smile, "How about playing?"

Lin Qi leaned forward, resting his head on his shoulder, and the breath of laughter fell on Zhuang Xinyan's neck.

Just like that, the two were talking intimately.

It's not a topic of deep meaning, and the daily routine with a little bit of oil, salt, and firewood, but they all feel that there is no boring meaning.

As the hot water cooled down slowly, Zhuang Xinyan wiped his feet first and put on his shoes.

After wiping Lin Qi's feet, he stretched out his hand to hook his knee, and hooked his shoulder with one hand, and hugged him horizontally.

Lin Qi didn't pay attention and exclaimed.

Charcoal Cake, who was playing beside him, heard it, tilted his head slightly to look at it for a while, and then rushed over, jumping and jumping at Zhuang Xinyan's footsteps, trying to hook Lin Qi's clothes with his claws.

Zhuang Xinyan put the person on the bed, and waited for him to say: "I'll pour water, don't let this bastard go to bed."

With guilty conscience in his eyes, Lin Qi pushed the person and said vaguely: "Okay, you hurry up."

He had never hugged Charcoal Cake to bed before, but he couldn't help it. Now that Charcoal Cake can dance, it's always before he can react, and Charcoal Cake will have fun on the bed. Seeing how happy it is, Lin Qi is not willing to give it to him. drive down.

Zhuang Xinyan came out of the room with the basin in hand.

Lin Qi then lay down beside the bed, stretching out his hands to press the charcoal cake that was about to jump up, "Little ancestor, you should be quiet today, or you will be scolded when he comes back."

Unlike Charcoal Cake's mother, Dahei is good at hunting, but he doesn't like clingy people.

Charcoal cake is not like its mother, nor does it feel like a wolf father. It is extremely lethargic and clingy.

Wherever I go, I like to be hugged.

At this time, Charcoal Gao, who couldn't get on the bed, was making pitiful whining sounds.

Lin Qi nodded its head, and said seriously: "You are a boy, you can't act like a baby."

Charcoal cake didn't understand the meaning of this, but when the door was opened again, it knew that it must not be able to go to bed, so it could only curl its ears at the foot of the bed, and fell asleep with its head buried.

As soon as Lin Qi raised his head, he exclaimed, and immediately sat up.

Zhuang Xinyan looked at him, shook the object in his hand, and asked flatteringly, "Does it look good?"

A long brocade fur cloak.

The silvery-white color is somewhat dazzling under the candlelight, and the fur is shiny, and it can feel smooth without touching it.

Zhuang Xinyan stepped forward, asked Lin Qi to stand up on the bed, put the cloak on him, looked at him from bottom to top, nodded and said, "I knew it was suitable for you the first time I saw it. .”

With the cloak on his body, it didn't take long for Lin Qi to feel that his body was extremely warm. He hurriedly asked, "Is it worth a lot of money?"

Zhuang Xinyan said, "It's okay."

If Lin Qi wanted to bark his teeth and make someone as lavish as Zhuang Xinyan say it was okay, it would definitely cost a lot of money.

But he was a little puzzled, "Where did you get the money to buy it?"

Ever since he got married, Zhuang Xinyan had entrusted him with the money in his family before he even said a word. Even now, the money for selling flower cakes and salted eggs is still in his hands. He has never restricted Zhuang Xinyan. The money was used, but Zhuang Xinyan had never taken any money from him.

Zhuang Xinyan didn't answer right away, but stretched out his hand into the cloak, hugged his waist, buried his head in his waist, and said in a muffled voice: "A man must have some private money."

Lin Qi chuckled, because he was standing on the bed, looking down like this, he could just see the head of the person who was holding him in his arms, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and said, "You know how to hide your house? "

Zhuang Xinyan knelt on the bed, hugged the person in his arms and lay on the bed, fixed his eyes on the person in front of him, and said softly: "There are still some hidden, why don't you look for them? If you find them, you will find them." to you."

However, Zhuang Xinyan didn't give Lin Qi a chance to respond. When Lin Qi opened his mouth slightly, he blocked it tightly.

Night light □□, outside the house is cold, but inside the house is full of enthusiasm.

Charcoal cake scratched its ears with its front paws, and there were strange sounds coming from its ears. It stood up abruptly, tilted its head and looked in the direction of the bed, and could vaguely see it through the red bed curtain. Seeing a sitting black shadow, shaking uncontrollably.

After watching it for a short time, it became a little boring again, and kept having fun in the room.

At some point, the door of the closet was opened on one side, and it ran with hooves, but before it could stop, it fell heavily into the closet.

The wardrobe has two floors.

The upper layer holds seasonal clothes.

The lower layer contains summer clothes.

The charcoal cake fell into the lower floor, but fortunately there were many clothes, so it didn't hurt it.

Sniffing lightly at the tip of its nose, it smelled something it liked very much.

So he grabbed it with his claws, bit it with his mouth, and pulled out the clothes that were stained with the smell it liked.

If Zhuang Xinyan was here, he would know that the clothes that charcoal cake bit out were the blue clothes he bought for Lin Qi for the first time.

Charcoal cake took a lot of effort to drag the clothes out.

It continued to drag it towards the temporary kennel it had set up.

But less than halfway, while dragging, two silver objects rolled out from the clothes.

Charcoal cake stopped moving, looked at it quietly for a while, and then took small steps forward, fiddled with the two silver stones with its claws.

……

A good night's sleep.

When Zhuang Xinyan woke up, there was no one in his arms.

He rubbed his eyes to see that not only was there no one on the bed, but also in the room.

He didn't get up in a hurry, closed his eyes and continued to doze off.

Not long after, Lin Qi came into the room with water for washing and washing, looked at the man sleeping on the bed, put the sink in place, sat by the bed again, and gently patted the man's face with his hand.

Zhuang Xin stretched out his hand, grabbed Lin Qi's mischievous palm, put it to his mouth and kissed it.

Lin Qi felt a little itchy, and struggled a little, but did not break free.

Before possessing him, he smiled mysteriously and said, "Guess what I picked up today?"

The eyes in front of him were a little narrow, Zhuang Xinyan was curious, and jokingly said, "Did you find the money?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Qi nodded heavily, and stretched out his other hand, two shining silver ingots, his eyelashes trembled slightly with a smile: "I picked it up from the nest of charcoal cake today, someone said yesterday If you find it, it will belong to me, then I will not be polite."

The corners of Shangfu's mouth were a little stiff, Zhuang Xinyan looked in the room, but there was no sign of that son of a bitch, he really owed a lesson.

It's just that the son of a bitch is still young, knowing that he will hide when he does something wrong, he has long been hiding in Lin Mashi's house behind him.

After Zhuang Xinyan and the two packed up.

Then I went to Village Chief Lin's house for a walk.

Because of Lin Qi's two brothers, it can be said that the two families move around very frequently.

Village Chief Lin's family didn't show any impatience, but they were extremely welcoming, not because Zhuang Xinyan and the others would bring something every time they came to the door, but just because of this person.

Lin Qi came to Village Chief Lin's house, and after exchanging a few words with each other, he went to the third brother's house.

From what he heard Lin Baocheng said yesterday, if it wasn't too late at night, he would have wanted to come and see for himself.

Counting the days, it has already been four or five months. Lin Dong's stomach would be swollen a few days without seeing him. Lin Qi put his hand on his stomach and asked curiously, "Why don't you move?"

"Perhaps there was too much trouble last night, so I fell asleep at this time." Lin Dong said, yesterday was the first fetal movement, which made him panic immediately, but what followed was a kind of sore nose. To the feeling of happiness that makes me want to cry.

Lin Qi felt a little regretful, but hearing the baby in his belly was sleeping, he didn't dare to put his hands on his belly anymore.

The two brothers chatted about other things.

Lin Baocheng's family is a big family, although he has older brothers and sisters, but because he is a child, he is especially favored, and his brother and sister-in-law are not difficult to get along with, so Lin Dong has never suffered any grievances in this family.

With a smile on Lin Dong's face, he said: "Mother would steam an egg for me every day, and my brothers and sisters-in-law didn't say anything, even when I watched my nephews and nieces greedy, I gave them some. My sister-in-law even persuaded me to eat by myself. Besides, my mother didn’t take any of the things you sent me, my second brother, and put them all in my own room, but I thought I couldn’t use them by myself. A few days ago, my second brother’s When my son celebrated his birthday, I tore a piece of cloth to make new clothes for him, and the other juniors will do the same in the future."

Lin Qi listened quietly, and also nodded, "They treat you well, so naturally you have to treat them well, people always look at their hearts."

Lin Dong agreed, in fact, he was also afraid before marrying.

Although he was brought back in time by the second elder brother, he still stayed in the theater for several hours after all, fearing that his in-laws would dislike him.

Moreover, he has a weak temper, doesn't like to talk, let alone flatter his mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Fortunately, everyone in my husband's family is nice.

But Lin Dong also knew that there was a big reason for it, it was because of the second brother's husband.

He went on to say: "Second brother, I'm not short of things here. I have everything I need. Don't send me things too often."

Lin Qi didn't understand what the third brother meant, he said: "It's okay, everything was prepared by Zhuang Xinyan, since it's his brother-in-law's wish, you just accept it."

The two said a few more words, Lin Dong was a little embarrassed at this time, and he asked in a low voice: "Second brother, is your stomach still not moving?"

Lin Qi was slightly taken aback when he heard this. He touched his abdomen with his hand and shook his head.

Lin Dong was a little embarrassed, he said softly: "I heard that there is a witch in the village next door to us, why don't we go ask for it someday?"

Lin Qi shook his head immediately after hearing this.

Zhuang Xinyan likes children, he can see it, but at the same time he can see it. At that time, Zhuang Xinyan was very serious about what he said to him, so he thought that it is best for him to let nature take its course, "It's okay, we are not in a hurry."

Lin Dong saw that his second brother's face hadn't changed much, so he felt relieved.

Only then did he realize that the cloak worn by the second brother was extremely beautiful, he touched it with his hand, and said in amazement: "It's made of fur, I'm afraid it's worth a lot of money, brother-in-law is really kind to the second brother. "

There is no envy, but a deep sense of joy.

Lin Dong was really happy for the second brother. If facial expressions could be deceiving, but from the eyes of the second brother, he really believed that the second brother was really happy these days.

And in the outhouse.

Village head Lin talked about salted eggs with Zhuang Xinyan.

If there are fifty people in the village who are in the flower cake business, then at most two or three people are willing to be in the salted egg business.

After all, this salted egg was bought from Zhuang Xinyan, and if they can't sell it, they can only eat it themselves, and it is impossible to return it to Zhuang Xinyan, and the price of salted eggs is expensive, no one is willing to take this risk .

Village head Lin frowned, and he said: "Baocheng came back happily last night. I asked him if he had any plans and he didn't say anything. If it really doesn't work out, then what should we do?"

Zhuang Xinyan was in no hurry.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it really doesn't make any difference to him whether he can succeed or not.

Whoever sells it doesn't sell it, and the salted egg is not unsalable in his hands.

However, if he sends such good resources in front of the folks in Xishan Village, but they don't have any ability to do this, then he won't do everything well and let these people enjoy the white obtained results.

After all, he wasn't so kind.

Now that the salted eggs are available, Lin Baocheng has been told the solution.

If Lin Baocheng still can't do it, Zhuang Xinyan won't bother, and the salted eggs in his hand are already in short supply in Bafang Pavilion and Shiyuan.

He said lightly: "Let's not say whether it will be possible or not, but if it is, I'm afraid it will only take a year or two before your family can build another house."

Village head Lin suddenly took a deep breath.

Although the house they live in is not as good as the dealer's house, it is still considered good in the village.

If you really want to build another building, it will naturally be based on green bricks and green tiles, at least 30 taels of silver.

Didn't Zhuang Xinyan's words mean that if the salted egg business can be accomplished, their family can earn 30 taels of silver in a year or two?

Village head Lin felt that the hand holding the pipe was trembling.

He quickly put the tobacco stick aside, put his hands on his knees, and endured the throbbing in his heart.

At the same time, he was a little absent-minded when he was talking, and his eyes kept sweeping towards the direction of the door.

Fortunately, the wait time is not long.

Before the sun set, Lin Baocheng came back with a burden. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother, I went to your house to look for you just now, but Grandma Ma told you to come to my house."

This call made the two of them turn their heads.

Both are Lin Baocheng's biological elder brothers of the same father and mother, but the "brother" he called was still knocking on melon seeds with downcast eyes.

"Hurry up and tell me, what's the matter?" Village Chief Lin saw that the child was still making jokes, so he quickly spoke.However, even if he didn't ask, he could still feel in his heart that it might be true.

After all, the child had a smile on his face, not the frowning face from yesterday at all.

Sure enough, Lin Baocheng gave a big smile when he heard the words, and he didn't say the result directly, but said the matter slowly.

……

It turned out that Lin Baocheng had just arrived at the restaurant and hesitated for a moment, not daring to go in.

After all, the impression of being chased away by that young master was too deep.

After hesitating for a long time, he can also see that entering a restaurant is not necessarily a person with good conditions. Some clothes are not as good as his, but they all enter the door dignifiedly, so why can't he?

With this in mind, he really carried the burden and entered the door.

Fortunately, the waiter in this restaurant was extremely enthusiastic, and Lin Baocheng, who was in a hurry, didn't even say what he came, so he was dragged to sit down.

Listening to the dishes introduced by the waiter in the shop, Lin Baocheng suddenly realized that he could not afford the price of the food in this restaurant. If it was in the past, he would really be reluctant to spend tens of pennies for a meal here.

But now it's different, it costs ten yuan to get a cheap dish, even if it hurts a little, it can be eaten.

Just like that, he ordered a plate of meat dishes worth thirteen cents, and ate with steaming hot water.

Of course, Lin Baocheng didn't forget his purpose of coming, but he thought of a better way.

Because they come to sell salted eggs, they are naturally already cooked.

Lin Baocheng ordered the food, took two bites, and then pretended to come to the counter, he said: "Maybe the shopkeeper borrow a kitchen knife?"

The shopkeeper has been sitting in the hall for so many years, and he has seen a lot of weird things, but he is just a borrower, so he is willing to agree, so he asked someone to bring a kitchen knife.

Lin Baocheng didn't return to his seat, took the kitchen knife and cut the two salted eggs in half.

Open the salted egg, the butter inside is on the blade, and the unique aroma immediately attracted the shopkeeper of the restaurant. He thought it was just an ordinary boiled duck egg, but he didn't want to cut it out to look like this .

While curious, it was inevitable to ask: "What is this, have you never seen it before?"

This time, Lin Baocheng thought about it. At the beginning, he asked people to try it, so he was not unwilling, so he handed over half of it, and said: "The new food in our village, no, I'm picking it." It’s for sale, it’s called Salted Egg, you, the shopkeeper, can try it too.”

After finishing speaking, he didn't continue to boast.

Instead, he turned around and returned to his own dining table, and started eating.

This was definitely not playing hard to get, but it was a cold day. If you don't hurry to eat, the food will be cold. Lin Baocheng couldn't bear to spend [-] cents in vain.

But where did he expect that he would leave like this.

It surprised the shopkeeper of the restaurant, there were quite a few people who came to the restaurant to sell food, and the shopkeeper pretended that this person was trying to get him to buy the so-called salted eggs, but how did he know that the salted eggs hadn't tasted in his mouth yet? , The seller left.

In this way, he had a little interest, so he tasted the salted egg in his hand.

A little bit of interest immediately became intense.

……

In the room, Lin Baocheng described the process as a dry mouth, and was thinking of picking up a cup of warm water to moisten his throat, but before he picked up his hand, the teacup was snatched away by his elder brother, "Hurry up and talk , how much did you sell?"

Village head Lin was also in a hurry, blowing his beard and staring: "Your elder brother is right, hurry up and continue."

Come on, Lin Baocheng thought that he would definitely not be able to drink this cup of tea before he finished speaking, but he was also happy, so he said: "The shopkeeper said, take ten eggs and duck eggs first, and I will come to the door tomorrow. If it's better, tell me otherwise."

Many of these people couldn't sit still.

Whether it is duck eggs or salted eggs, they can earn two pennies for each egg.

In other words, with just a few words, he earned forty coins? !

At this moment, the people of the Lin family couldn't sit still.

In fact, if you really think about it, Lin Baocheng and his brothers went out to sell flower cakes, and each of them could earn a hundred yuan a day, and forty yuan is a bit more.

but!

It's just a business, it didn't take half an hour to come and go, they sold flower cakes, but it took a whole day's work.Besides, Genshan Town is a small place, but there are at least more than 30 large and small restaurants, not to mention the nearby towns, which can really earn money. Dare to run more places to sell food!

Village Chief Lin let out a sigh of relief, looking at the calm man with a slight smile on his face with slightly cloudy eyes, he admired him in his heart. No wonder Zhuang Xinyan said that if the salted egg business is good, , A new house can be built in a year or two.
