Farmer's Favorite

Maybe it's because of his age, Village Chief Lin has something on his mind, and if he doesn't do it, he always feels uneasy.

Without much delay, they went out directly, one family at a time, and told the story in person.

Although Village Chief Lin didn't go out, he also had this idea in his heart about who and where to do business. He didn't go back tired until he finished walking through everyone's homes at night.

It's just that Xingcheng in the south is the closest to Xishan Town, and it's a big town, so it's easy to do business within a short distance.

And they have already been running around for a long time, and the salted egg business is very good.

When they heard Village Chief Lin's stop, they were obedient.

It's just that I ran to another place suddenly, not to mention the long distance, and I'm not familiar with it. The business has already been divided up, not only it takes a lot of effort on the road, but also I have to stay in the local area for a few more days to be able to sell out. goods.

In this way, it is still a lot of trouble.

Some people kept the words of Village Chief Lin in mind, but some people went to Xingcheng secretly after all.

Lin Li was among the people who used to run around the city, and he was a little hesitant at this time.

These two times, Lin Li followed his friends to Suping City in the east.

As a result, the return trip took more than half a month. I was exhausted on the road, and it took a long time in Suping City to sell out the salted eggs in my hand.

When he came home this time, he didn't say much, just lay on the bed and rested for two full days.

He earned it, but he was so tired of earning the money that he couldn't bear the desire to start again.

Originally, if you are familiar with running in Xingcheng, you will inevitably have a few familiar customers in your hands. If you are lucky, the salted eggs in your hands will be emptied within two or three days after arriving in Xingcheng, and then go back.

It only takes about seven or eight days to go back and forth this time. If you make more trips, you can earn as much as three taels of silver, and as little as one or two taels of silver. If you go twice a month, you will definitely not lose five taels of silver.

In the past, their family might not have earned five taels of silver a year.

It's available in a month now.

In this way, he ran more and more energetically, and the money he earned was handed over to his wife for safekeeping that day, and life at home was getting better and better.

It's just that now the village head suddenly doesn't let them run around the city.

It took more than half a month to go to Suping City to make this trip. There were villagers in Suping City doing salted egg business, and now there are more people going there, and he is not a person who is very good at business, let alone It is very difficult to do.

These two times, if it wasn't for the fact that Zhuang Xinyan was his brother-in-law, maybe he was still selling salted eggs in Suping City at this time.

"My son's father, I made chicken soup for you. You can drink it before you go to bed." Mrs. Wang entered the door with a bowl in her hand, and looked at the haggard man, feeling very distressed.

Lin Li narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hands carelessly, and said, "No, I'm too lazy to get up."

"I've brought it all for you, just drink it on the bed." Mrs. Wang sat on the edge of the bed, pulled the man up, and handed over the soup bowl.

Lin Li was a little impatient, but in the end he reached out to take it and drank it in a few gulps.

Not to mention, after drinking the warm chicken soup, I felt a lot better and my body was less tired. He said, "Give me another bowl."

"Okay, Douzi loves you so much, and I left you a chicken drumstick, and I'll serve it for you." Mrs. Wang immediately got up and went out, and came back with a full bowl not long after.

Lin Li looked at it, and he said: "You really picked up a chicken leg for me, hurry up, take it out and give it to my son tomorrow."

"Okay, don't push it. Our family is no better than before. If you want to eat a chicken, you can still afford it. Whenever you want to eat beans, you can just kill them." Wang refused, and forced the bowl into the hands of the child's father .

Seeing that he finally ate, his face couldn't help showing joy.

She said: "If you are really tired, you can rest at home for a few more days. You are the pillar of our family, so nothing can happen."

Originally, Lin Li, who was so exhausted and unable to cheer up, really planned to take a short rest.

But now hearing what his wife said, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and the thought of wanting to rest immediately disappeared, but he said: "It's okay, but I really don't want to go to Suping City, I told those two buddies Say, it’s better to go to Xingcheng.”

"But didn't the village chief say..."

"It's hard to be that serious. After all, Xingcheng is still a city. What can happen?" Lin Li interrupted her, and said disapprovingly: "Besides, we will only stay for a day or two at most when we go. would be so unlucky."

Wang Shi was still thinking about what to say, but she opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything.

……

Everything is revived, and a piece of spring is full of vitality.

In the mansion, the peonies that Lin Baocheng sent some time ago.

Lin Qi unexpectedly discovered that this peony had produced flower buds.

Thinking about the day when Lin Baocheng delivered it, it has been more than three months. He touched his swollen belly, and there are still two months left before their family will have a baby.

There was hope on his face.

"Why did you get up so early today?" Zhuang Xinyan stepped into the room, and happened to see his little husband.

He stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand to support the little husband's arm, took him into his arms, and said: "It's raining a lot these days, you need someone to accompany you when you go out."

"I just walked around in the yard. Look, the peony is about to bloom." Lin Qi stretched out his finger, and a small flower bud emerged from the lush green leaves. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.

"It's almost time to bloom. After a few days, there will be more and more flower buds." Zhuang Xinyan said.

The peonies are planted in the courtyard. Except for this one, the others in the flower garden are wild flowers and weeds transplanted by Grandma Ma from outside. Now is the time when all kinds of flowers bloom, and it is very beautiful at first glance.

He said: "Go to Xiaoyi's house later, Wu Tingyi has planted a lot of flowers and plants at home, we can dig some if we like."

"You are too embarrassed." Lin Qi said, but he was also a little ready to move.

"What's the matter, our family's charcoal cake has been tossed by Wenzheng for so long, he must be willing to give up a few flower plants." Zhuang Xinyan raised his eyebrows.

Speaking of which, it wasn't Wenzheng tossing charcoal cakes.

It was Wenzheng who tossed the big wolf, and the big wolf tossed the charcoal cake, which made the charcoal cake to be surprisingly well-behaved during this time, not going anywhere, and staying at home obediently.

Just a pity.

Charcoal cake is honest, but it can't stand the power of big wolf, even if it is hiding at home, it will still be found.

Of course, after all, Zhuang Xinyan would not come to Wu Tingyi's house empty-handed if he really wanted to go to Wu Tingyi's side to ask for Hua Zhi.

Speaking of this, Zhuang Xinyan said: "How much money do you have at home? Today, Brother Yuan said that there are several good shops in the town for sale. If we want to, we can take them down."

When Lin Qi heard this, redness suddenly appeared on his face, he clasped his palms tightly with both hands, and said a little excitedly: "There are quite a few."

Then he leaned over and whispered a number in the man's ear.

That's a lot.

Lin Qi is in charge of the family money.

Although Zhuang Xinyan knew the general idea, he didn't calculate it carefully. Now that he heard this number, he could really be called "rich" in this small place.

But think about it.

In the past, the flower cakes were not counted, and the salted eggs could earn dozens of taels a day, and now the income from rice paper is added.

Xuan paper was sold to Yuan Yi for ninety sheets of one hundred texts, but the cost was about one hundred and thirty forty sheets of one hundred texts, and the profit from it could be called huge profits.

And basically, Yuan Yi could eat as much as he could, so he didn't have to worry about selling it.

It has been more than half a year since the market for salted eggs spread.

Although the supply is still in short supply, most of them are from Bafang Pavilion, Shiyuan and a few people who came to buy them later.

On the contrary, the folks in the village want a lot of goods, but the quantity has remained flat and there is no upward trend. It is obvious that it is almost reaching the point of saturation, and it may drop in the next few months.

Adding the two together, they actually have about 3000 taels of silver in their hands at this time.

But think about it.

Earn more and spend less.

Except at the beginning, the two of them would go to the town to walk around the city and spend some money.

Since Lin Qi became pregnant, they basically haven't been out.

The most money spent was nothing more than buying twelve people.

"Shops and fields are better than holding money in your hands. I'll have someone call Na Yalang up tomorrow to ask if there are suitable shops and fields to spend all the money." Zhuang Xinyan thought for a while and said If Grandma Ma hadn't said that it is not suitable to break ground now, he would have wanted to surround the flat land next to it and make a garden out of it, so that Lin Qi could walk around when he was at home.

"Okay, just make your decision." Lin Qi had no objection, and even agreed 100%.

Zhuang Xinyan said again: "Take out another hundred taels of silver, and don't care about other places in the village. The land near our house will be paved with bluestone slabs, and a high wall will be built at the other end of the stream."

It is not surprising that Lin Qi is paving the ground, but he does not understand building a high wall on the other side of the stream.

Zhuang Xinyan looked at the puzzled expression of the little husband, but he didn't explain, but said: "You will know later."

The creek is crystal clear and clear, trickling down.

In fact, it can be regarded as a beautiful place, and the stream is not rushing, but the stream is not small. It is also a pleasure to make a small boat and drift in the streams and mountains.

He thought about building a high wall at the other end of the creek, just thinking about including the creek in his house when he had a chance in the future.

Although the creek will swell during the rainy season, as long as the first-class water is released at a high place, the problem of swelling will naturally be solved, and it is nothing more than troublesome.

But in this era, troublesome things can be easily solved with money, without any trouble at all.

It's just that if you circle it like this, this house will be so big that it will be called a 'mansion'.
