Crossing the prosperous days

These cabbage seeds were not easy to come by. Seeing those seeds smaller than rice grains, Xiao Lin felt that all the ups and downs before were worth it.Holding a little bit, I went to show it to Han Xi. I was very excited. Fortunately, I knew that this matter was serious and I had to keep a low profile, otherwise I was afraid that I would call it out.

Han Xi was very happy to see that he was naturally the same as Xiao Lin.If you were worried that this was just Ah Lin's wishful thinking before, now you only have admiration.After this episode, Han Xi obeyed Xiao Lin even more.The two planted the seeds and began to serve them carefully. In addition to plant ashes, Han Xi also listened to Xiao Lin and began to apply human fertilizers, but the taste was really unpleasant.The cabbage was planted in his own yard again, which made Xiao Lin feel like he was living in a pigsty.Therefore, after insisting on the matter of human fat once, no one will mention it again. In case the tofu sold has this smell, oh--think about it, I will throw up, what business is there.Fortunately, the cabbage is very easy to feed, and it doesn't matter if no one looks at it, not to mention whether the two of them catch insects and weeds, the cabbage grows very moist, and the leaves of the cabbage look extraordinarily thick.During this period, the business of the tofu stall of the two is getting better day by day, and there are more regular customers. It is also good to cook food and wine. Some old women in the family will also buy some wine for the head of the family.Excluding the daily cost, by April, the two of them had already saved more than a tael of silver. Counting the copper coins, Xiao Lin planned to save more and buy a donkey when the time came. A cow would have been a better choice. Pulling can still plow the land, but the price is also very expensive, and a donkey that is smaller can still be bought for more than two taels of silver.A calf must be at least doubled.It’s okay, it’s good to have a donkey, watching Han Xi go to the town for an hour before dawn every day to rent a donkey cart, and then pull it back at night after closing the stall, but he can stay at home, but that would cost 4 taels of silver Where do they have the deposit, so they have to rent it for 4 yuan a day.In the end, it was Xiao Lin who bargained for a long time and dropped it to 20 renminbi, but he was in charge of the donkey's food and drink.Tired is a little tired, but I can save money anyway.

In this way, the cabbage seeds can finally be harvested in April. It was autumn when the cabbage was credited. It has been almost half a year. I don’t know if the boss will regard them as liars.What's the result, the two still have to try, this business is a way to get rich if it is successful!

They didn't particularly pick a date, Xiao Lin went the next day, and Han Xi still stuck to his post.Thinking that they are all in the town anyway, I feel relieved.When he walked into that store again, he no longer had the same feeling as before. Now that he has capital in his hand, what he wants is an opportunity.The guy there still had an impression of him, so he called out the shopkeeper before he could say anything.The expression on Boss Lin's face became so rich when he saw Xiao Lin.Having not received any information for such a long time, shopkeeper Lin really did not give any hope. Unexpectedly, this person would dare to come now. He would like to see what this fellow can bring out.

Xiao Lin cut to the chase,

"Shopkeeper Lin, I was the one who credited the cabbage back then—that's the big leafy vegetable." The meaning behind the words became clear, and I followed the agreement to repay the debt.As soon as these words came out, the boss's complexion improved a lot. Xiao Lin struck while the iron was hot, and took out the bag of precious seeds and handed it to him, "I still want to discuss business with shopkeeper Lin this time. I wonder if you are interested?" Those two people were able to get the seeds out back then, although they hadn't confirmed the authenticity yet, they just listened and signaled Xiao Lin to continue.

"I wonder if Boss Lin has heard of the fried tofu stall on the other side of the street?"

"I know a little bit, the children at home like it very much." Speaking of his son, Boss Lin's face is much gentler.

"Our two brothers have no skills, and that tofu is our stall."

"Oh!" Boss Lin's eyes were really on Xiao Lin this time, "Let's hear it."

"To tell the truth, Boss Lin, we want to contract the work of this kind of vegetables." This matter was also discussed with Han Xi last night. After this winter, the two of them know that Chinese cabbage is very easy to grow, and the output is not high. The average height, let alone one dish can make two dishes, and it is a good thing to serve in the home of ordinary people.Rich people like to make some fresh dishes, which is also a selling point.It's just that sales are hard to find. There are acquaintances in this town who supply the goods. Ordinary farmers like them are afraid that they will be slaughtered miserably, so they want to cooperate with Boss Lin.Firstly, the two brothers of this man are famous for traveling all over the world, and some fresh ones brought back are not eye-catching, and secondly, his identity is there. "At that time, the vegetables grown will still be handed over to Boss Lin. We will only earn money to do the work. I wonder if it's okay?" The price cannot be lowered.

Who is he, how could he let you, a small farmer, control him, "Boss Xiao has a big tone, if I don't want to, according to the original agreement, I can pay you money to ask you to tell me about that technology." I knew you would say that .

"In that case, Boss Lin will not be worth the loss. We always have the idea of ​​whether we grow vegetables or not. After we tell Boss Lin, if someone comes here, we can tell them, right, Boss Lin?" Drink water, Run Run "And if Boss Lin believed us, he would have to keep this method tight even for his own benefit. Let me tell you that this dish can be seen everywhere in my hometown, and I can say a thing or two about its recipe Come on, I don't know if Boss Lin is willing to take these as a bonus?"

How could Xiao Lin's big deal be unexpected by that person? It's just that he seemed to underestimate this little farmer and even dared to threaten himself, but his proposal was indeed heart-warming.

"Welcome this guest to the backyard." Hey, there's a show!

When the two returned home, Xiao Lin couldn't wait to report his achievements and make a contract.Their land will not be left unused in the winter, and the output is directly linked to wages. It is so motivating to work harder and pay more.

Han Xi was also very happy. What the farmer dislikes most is that the land in the field is deserted. Although the purple rice is so good, it is difficult to feed it. In addition, it will start plowing in spring, and the days when everyone harvests and sells it together For a day or two before and after, those stores even took advantage of this opportunity to lower the price, making no profit at all.Thinking of this, Han Xi has some doubts——

"Ah Lin, does the contract say what price the cabbage will be charged? If the dead price is set, then we will lose money if the price rises."

"Hehe, Brother Han, don't worry about it. It says that the price will be re-priced every year. I also gave him a few recipes for cooking. Some of them can make money. Besides, the reputation of doing business is not good for these things." I will bid at will." Those prescriptions are not given away for nothing!Seeing that Xiao Lin had plans in mind, Han Xi didn't ask any more questions. Compared to himself, Ah Lin was really capable, and he was pretty good-looking.

Cabbage is mainly planted in autumn and winter, and the two of them concentrate on the tofu stall business in summer. Now it is no longer enough to meet the amount that they set with Zhao Shan at the beginning.Zhao Shan couldn't even be too busy alone, even his old lady who hadn't worked for a long time went into battle together, but the two of them were busy and happy. Up to now, Han Xi still settled with them in cash, earning dozens of copper coins every day. They dare not even think about it, just because they are tired of making tofu and have no money, and Zhao Shan has not got a wife until now. One can imagine how important the money is to them.Therefore, Xiao Lin believed that they would agree to the conditions he raised.

For this raw material, the two went to Zhao's house and Zhao Shan re-set the price. The price of tofu is not lowered, but there is one condition. If someone buys tofu in large quantities, Zhao Shan must consult with them first.This matter is unbelievable in the eyes of people who do business. Why should I ask you to agree to do business? This business is not yours.But Zhao Shan didn't even think about it, and immediately agreed.Where did he still say that he could just mention this little thing by the way when he delivered the tofu, and he didn't need to come to their house specially.Hearing this, Xiao Lin knew that Zhao Shan didn't realize the importance of this matter, so he had to emphasize it again and again, and made it clear that this matter had a great impact on their family's business.Seeing Xiao Lin's seriousness, Zhao Shan corrected his attitude and said that he would tell them immediately if there was a situation. After all, they were interdependent.

I will talk about this with Zhao Shan, and I will start with a person who always comes to buy iron plate tofu recently.This person almost buys a board every time he buys, and he comes every other day.Xiao Lin would not believe that his own tofu is really so exciting.Every time I come here, I have to talk to myself for a long time, but every time I turn the topic to tofu, the secret spying techniques.Xiao Lin also kept an eye out, saying that their tofu is specially made, and only tofu makers from aristocratic families in their village can make this taste.After saying this, that person really never came here again. It is estimated that all the tofu in the past was used for research. Now that he has his so-called secret recipe, he naturally does not need to come here to spend money.That's why the two of them came back for such a long time, and they had to start from the root cause.Sure enough, within a few days, Zhao Shan came to them and said that someone wanted to buy their secret recipe of tofu for 10 taels of silver.Zhao Shan felt a little dazzled when he saw the silver.But, there is no secret recipe for his tofu. It's just the way of general tofu. Why did this person come back to buy this.Suddenly remembered what Han Xi had told his family, and told the man that this matter was too big and he needed to discuss it with his mother.The man did not suspect him, and said that he would come back in 3 days, hoping that Zhao Shan would think about it carefully.Zhao Shan didn't dare to delay, as soon as the man left, he came to find Han Xi and the other two.Looking at Zhao Shan's flushed face and excited tone, he knew that 10 taels of silver was a lot of money for the Zhao family. At least Zhao Shan could repair the house and ask for a wife.The two had realized that this would happen a long time ago, and they had already thought of a countermeasure, so they told Zhao Shan that Zhao Shan could sell the secret recipe if he wanted to. They didn't care, but Zhao Shan had to sign a contract with their boss.Poor Zhao Shan has no secret recipe at all, how can this be done!At this point, Xiao Lin made it clear,

"Brother Zhao, you must have seen it. This person is jealous of our business and wants to start from you to dominate the family and cut off our future, so even if you don't have the secret recipe, he won't believe it. How can you do tofu without the secret recipe?" It sells so well, don’t you think?” After being fooled by Xiao Lin so much, even Zhao Shan almost believed that he had a secret recipe.Xiao Lin didn't say much, just asked Mrs. Zhao, she must know.Zhao Shan thought about it, he didn't know, but his mother must know!After Jian Jian said goodbye to Han Xi and the others, he went home, as if the 10 taels of silver were already in his house.

On the other hand, looking at Han Xi's smug smile, he knew that that person would definitely not get well then, so that's good, let them suffer a little bit, and know that they are not easy to bully.

Three days later, Zhao Shan said that he wanted to sign a contract with their boss, but the man was unwilling at first, so he sold a tofu recipe and asked his own shopkeeper to come forward.But Zhao Shan couldn't bear it and refused to give in, so he had to take him to the town. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper was the one Xiao Lin worked for during the Chinese New Year.The shopkeeper blamed the steward for bringing people into the store. It's not good for the guy surnamed Xiao to see this thing.The person in charge had no choice but to say that Zhao Shan had to sign a contract with the shopkeeper before he would take the secret recipe. Know your name.The shopkeeper was also brainless, and after being praised for a few words, he happily signed and took the money.

Zhao Shan walked back by himself with 10 taels of silver, so the shopkeeper won't be kind enough to send him back after he got what he wanted.Poor Zhao Shan wrapped himself tightly all the way, and ran as fast as he could at the slightest sign of trouble.After finally running to the house and kicking like a cow, he drank a bowl of cold water before recovering.He hurriedly handed over the 10 taels of silver in his arms to the old lady for safekeeping.I went to Han Xi's house to report what happened.After knowing which shopkeeper drove out this bad thing, Xiao Lin was still a little surprised.Knowing that it was his own business, he still came to grab it. The hot pot recipe made him a lot of money back then.On the contrary, Zhao Shan still had lingering fears, fearing what would happen if the person said the prescription was fake and wanted to refund the money.Han Xi comforted, "Is this recipe your tofu recipe?"

"Yes, every step is not bad. My mother didn't say such details when she taught me. It's strange that my mother asked me to add something."

"That's fine. What you gave is real. How could they bother you!" Han Xi could only sigh silently in his heart, Aunt Zhao was much smarter than Zhao Shan.Thinking about it, Zhao Shan was fooled away just like that.

Not to mention how the shopkeeper used the recipe to make unique tofu. Before he researched it, Han Xi and Xiao Lin's stalls were still full of business every day.Zhao Shan took the 10 taels of silver, plus the money he had saved earlier, and his mother went to find someone to look after him, and she actually found a family who had already changed their Geng posts and planned to get engaged at the end of the year.Xiao Lin had to feel that the speed was just now.

In October of this year, the road to the neighboring village was opened, and people who were usually inconvenient to walk came out one after another at this time. Several families agreed to come by car together, and some came alone or alone. They know how difficult it is to communicate when they go to neighboring villages.

As a result, the business of several stalls in the town became more and more prosperous, and Xiao Lin’s was even more so. The people in the neighboring villages had never seen such a novel way of eating. It's just that the gas costs a lot.But now that the road is open, it is also convenient to go to the oil store, and the two of them have to buy goods every three months on average.The shopkeeper also became more and more harmonious, because Xiao Lin and the others introduced that the soybean oil that no one cared about at the time was selling well, and almost everyone who came here would ask if it was used for frying tofu?He also had to face up to these two people - they must not be things in the pool in the future.

By this time, it is rare for the village to hear anyone speak ill of Xiao Lin in public. This is also due to the little boy Li Yu. If you want to eat tofu, go to Brother Han's house. There will definitely be one Just because of this, he didn't allow anyone in the village to speak ill of brother Xiao Ling.At first, some children laughed at him, saying that he was Xiao Lin's follower, but after eating the tofu secretly brought out by Li Yu a few times, they all immediately changed their direction.For a while, Xiao Lin became the most supportive object of the children, which was also a spectacle.

Han Xi's family has changed from the poorest to an enviable family in just one year, and naturally there are more red-eyed people.In addition to the shopkeeper who hasn't made unique tofu until now, Lizheng's nephew is also Li Jin, who sounds like a good name, but this person is not liked by the villagers.Lizheng was fairly fair in his conduct and actions, but he couldn't figure it out on this matter. He only blindly helped his nephew who had no father or mother, and basically did what he said to his nephew.Li Jin couldn't get the prescription, so he was urged to beg his uncle, and this person really went there as soon as his brain got hot.Before going there, he pretended to carry two handfuls of vegetables, which made his old face smile. He said bluntly that his nephew had finally grown up and it was time to start a family.

Li Jin took advantage of this to talk, and cried about where he got the money to marry his wife!Even the house is still the one left by the father when he married the mother, and now it is dilapidated.As soon as Li Jin's parents were mentioned, the simple and honest old man became dizzy and asked him what to do, this day must pass!

"Uncle, isn't that Han Xi very capable? It hasn't been a year since his family has been here. Look at what they eat now, and they use donkey carts every day when they go out."

Lizheng took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, and glanced at Li Jin. His nephew would not know what was going on in his head, "No, this is his ability. If you have the ability, you can do it."

Li Jin was in a hurry, "I didn't say anything, you can't do it, uncle, and you even said to help me, if my parents are here..."

"Then what do you think we should do?" The old man was also in a hurry, knocking on the cigarette stick.

"Uncle, don't worry about it, just help me and tell me to work under them, so that I can learn from it, too." This made Li Zheng silent, because he always has selfish intentions towards his family. Yes, he has also seen the situation of Han Xi's family, this craft can earn a lot of money, if his nephew can learn it... well, those two children are so smart, there is always a way.After comforting himself, he let Li Jin go back.

Li Jin knew that his uncle had agreed, so he left after saying a few good words.

The two of Han Xi talked and laughed and went home to make a meal. They were about to stand for a while to digest when they heard someone shouting outside again.It was so late, and there were still people coming, the two of them didn't have much distraction, went out and saw that Lizheng was inside and outside the yard.Xiao Lin's heart skipped a beat immediately, he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and the officials would come to the people's homes in person, fearing that they would ask the two of them for something.

Sure enough, after a few greetings, Li Zheng began to talk about their business in a kindly tone.

"Boy Han, your business is doing well, and the village counts you as promising."

"Where, Brother Jilin is the one who has the ability, and he already has a house in the town." Speaking of his eldest son, Lizheng was slightly happy in his heart, but he still didn't forget the business.

The three of you came and went for a while, seeing that it was getting late, the old man was also in a hurry, so he simply opened up and said

"Are you busy with business? Do you want to hire someone? My nephew has a pretty good temper." This is the limit of this old man. pip fame.

Xiao Lin took a look at Han Xi and knew that something was wrong.Some people are jealous just after making some achievements.Even people like Han Xi who are as broad-minded as Han Xi are very angry, Xiao Lin held back what he wanted to say.
