The life of farming in ancient times with a system
Chapter 64 Blind Date
"How do you eat this thing?"
do not know when.The old carpenter stood behind him, looking blankly at the green eyes.
"Its fruit is on the bottom, and it can be eaten when it is ripe. It can be eaten now, but it is the stem." Lin Shen said.
"Is it delicious?" asked the old carpenter.
Tired of eating big fish and meat, he wants to eat something light now, and swallows when he sees something green.What he wants to eat most is Zhizhi. The taste after frying is so amazing, no matter how much fish and meat he eats, it can't compare to it.
Lin Shen got into the bamboo forest on one side, and saw what he wanted within a short distance.Carefully digging to the bottom with an iron grab, he dug out two enough to eat for tonight, and he took the things back.
This is the advantage of being backed by the bamboo forest, and there are fresh bamboo shoots to eat from time to time.
When he went out, he looked while walking, and found that some bamboos had diseased spots on them, and it was estimated that there were bamboo insects in them.
He gave the bamboo shoots to the old carpenter, peeled off the outer hard shell, and the bamboo shoots inside were ready to eat.Turning around and taking the tool into the bamboo forest, I found the place marked before, split the shell of the bamboo with a sickle, and sure enough, I saw the bamboo worms that had sucked enough bamboo juice and were round and plump.
After pouring the bamboo worms into the tools that he carried, Lin Shen was about to strike at a bamboo with diseased spots nearby, when he heard a light cracking sound not far away.
"Yeah, there are really bugs in there."
It sounded like Brother Liu.
Another voice said, "Hurry up and take out your bamboo tube and pour the bamboo worms in."
Brother Liu San timidly said: "I, I dare not, come quickly."
Luo Feng said angrily: "I didn't see that you were afraid when I was eating!"
After speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Shen in surprise.
"You're back?"
He raised his footsteps, as if he wanted to walk towards Lin Shen, seeing the expression on Brother Liu's face, he resisted the urge.
"Just came back." Lin Shen nodded and looked at them with a smile: "You found the bamboo worms delicious?"
Luo Feng looked embarrassed, and said dryly: "It's delicious."
He doesn't care if it's delicious or not, he just wants to eat meat.Given the situation in his family, he couldn't afford a meal of meat all year round.If you don't eat meat, you will lack nutrition. Both he and Ah Mo's hair are yellow.He was also very hungry and frightened. Seeing that Lin Shen dared to eat bamboo worms, he mustered up his courage to look for bamboo worms everywhere.
After eating it, Ah Mo said it was delicious, and asked him, "What kind of meat is this?"
Luo Feng felt bitter in his heart.
If there is a way, who would want to eat this kind of thing?
Brother Liu also ate it once, but Luo Feng didn't tell him what it was.When he told him the truth later, he was shocked and disgusted.
This time, Luo Feng took Sange Liu out to look for bamboo worms.
Brother Liu thought he was being upright, and said no, he was more active than Luo Feng when looking for bamboo insects.
"It's good as long as it's delicious. It looks scary, but it's actually very nutritious." Lin Shen nodded with a smile, turned around and was about to leave.
"Lin Sanlang!" Liu Sange shouted.
When Luo Feng was talking to Lin Shen, he kept silent and leaned against a bamboo in silence.Seeing that Lin Shen was about to leave, he had no choice but to speak out.
"Is there anything else?" Lin Shen looked at him suspiciously.
Brother Liu San looked at him with complicated eyes: "Why don't you ask my Little Six?"
Lin Shen was stunned for a while, without thinking too much, he opened his mouth and said, "Should I ask?"
"You!" Brother Liu was a little angry, but he didn't know why he was angry, and stared at Lin Shen with a pair of watery eyes.
The second monk Lin Shenzhang couldn't figure it out, but waited patiently in place.
Luo Feng looked at this, then at that, slowly lowered his head, and picked at the bamboo tube with his thin fingers.
"Forget it, let's go." Brother Liu San took a careful look at his expression, and found that he didn't pretend to be like this on purpose, he suddenly thought of something, waved his hand and said.
Lin Shen thought for a while and said, "I don't have any great abilities, and I'm not a good person either. If something happens to you, as long as I do what I can, I will definitely help you."
After speaking, regardless of their reaction, Lin Shen left with the things in his hand.
"You stopped him, why didn't you ask clearly?" Luo Feng asked in a low voice.
"It looks like he doesn't mean that to Xiaoliu. I asked him to humiliate myself." Liu Sange said.
Luo Feng nodded.
Brother Liu went on to say: "He helped Xiao Liu several times before, you can't blame me for thinking too much, I thought he was interested in Xiao Liu, and I thought so too. He also asked Lao Liu to take advantage of Lin Sanlang's liking , try every means to get benefits from Lin Sanlang. You said, if he knows, he has no interest in Xiao Liu at all, will he be mad?"
The two laughed together.
Peel the bamboo shoots and soak them in clean water for a while, then take them out and cut them into thin strips.Throw it into boiling boiling water and toss it a few times, then take it out and throw it into a clear water basin.
Lin Shen took down the bamboo basket above his head and found a piece of dried meat from it.After the fresh meat is bought, it is cleaned, coated with a layer of salt, and hung under the eaves to dry naturally, so that the preservation time can be longer.
For example, they often go out to work, and they go out for more than 20 days.You can't buy a little at the butcher's house, and they won't sell it to you.Besides, people don't kill pigs every day.When they buy meat, they always buy a large strip. It is a pity to throw away the unfinished meat.
The meat preserved in this way tastes chewy, but it takes a lot of effort to cut it.Before cutting the meat, Lin Shen took the knife outside and sharpened it on the whetstone for a long time.
The meat slices should be sliced thinly, so that you can see the figure on the opposite side. There are lean meat and fat meat, which looks very appetizing.Pour a little oil before putting it in the pot, and the pot becomes oily.Put the meat in and stir-fry a few times, and the special meat aroma will come out.
The transparent meat slices shrink slowly, and all the oil inside is fried out. Then put down the chopped bamboo shoots and stir a few times to ensure that each bamboo shoot is covered with oil.It's a pity that there is no chili, or put a little bit, that taste. . .
I can't think about it, my saliva will flow down if I think about it.
Lin Shen pulled up the towel hanging around his neck, wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out the fried pork with bamboo shoots with a spoon, and then fried the bamboo worms.
He put the cleaned bamboo worms directly into the oil pan without adding oil, and then spread them out with a spoon so that each bamboo worm could fully contact the iron pan.Stir-fry a few times to flatten, and repeat this several times.When the frying is almost done, just pour a little less oil.
The pot here is occupied, and the old carpenter set up a pot outside and cooked a pot of rice.
Before it was dark, the smoke rose from the kitchen, and the aroma of the food drew out all the animals in the forest, lying down in the thick grass and sniffing their little noses.
It was stuffy and hot in the house, and the eating place was in the courtyard, and at least sometimes the wind blew over.
"I'll build a coal stove another day. It will be more convenient if I can boil some water or stew meat." Lin Shen discussed with the old carpenter.
"Then do it." The old carpenter took a few sips of wine and said with a smile: "You always have some weird things in your mind, and I don't ask you how you came up with them, as long as you make them useful."
There is a pot in the kitchen, which is used for cooking and cooking. It is very inconvenient to boil water.No matter how clean the pot is, there will always be oil stars floating in the boiling water.They are rough people in the first place, they are exhausted from work, as long as they have water to drink, they don't have to pay so much attention.It's not good if guests come to the house. For guests of status like Jiang Qingsong and Jiang Daizhen, it would be rude to let others drink such tea.
Lin Shen smiled and said, "It must be easy to use."
The big words have been released, and the rest is how to do it.The furnace is made of ordinary mud, and it will crack after a short time of burning.Lin Shen thought of some ways, smashed the straw, dug some mud from the river, and stirred the two together.In order to increase the stickiness, he needs to step on it repeatedly in it.
Afterwards, while the muddy water hadn't dried up, he built it into the shape of a stove with mud blocks.To prevent the furnace from burning, put a layer of pot bottom ash inside and expose it to the sun.
In the middle, the old carpenter came to see it several times. He didn't know how to make this stove, so he could only watch with his arms folded.Seeing that the stove was finished, he squatted under the sun for a long time and asked in amazement, "Is this all right?"
"I dug out all the things in my mind, and it's the only way to succeed or fail." Lin Shen said.
Summer is over and autumn is over, he has to hurry up and dig out the cellar.
The place to dig the cellar was chosen by an old carpenter, and low-lying places should not be chosen, as water will seep in if the terrain is low.It is necessary to choose a dry and high-lying place, so that the cellar will remain dry and at a suitable temperature.
After picking a place, Lin Shen began to dig down.There was no one walking around, and the soil was not too hard, so it was easy to dig.But no matter how easy it is, it needs people to dig it.After digging more than one meter deep, blood blisters appeared on the joints of Lin Shen's hands.
The old carpenter came over and looked very distressed, so he asked him to rest for a while before working.
Lin Shen was also a little tired, so he asked the old carpenter to pop the blood blisters on his hands, and lay down on the bed to rest for a while.
When he got up, the old carpenter had already cut the meat, washed the vegetables and put them on the chopping board.
Lin Shen pulled off the herbs, wrapped his hands in two pieces of cloth, and cooked the vegetables.After the father and two finished their meal, they continued to dig the cellar.
The larger the cellar, the more things can be stored.Lin Shen wanted to store more things, so the cellar he had to dig was also very large, and naturally it took a long time.Moreover, the cellar cannot be dug too shallow, and the purpose of storage cannot be achieved.
Lin Shen dug a four-meter-long passage, using ropes to go up and down, and kicking his legs alternately on the wall.
The old carpenter was lying at the entrance of the cave, and he was relieved when he saw Lin Shen appearing.There was a lot of soil piled up next to it, and Lin Shen dug underneath like a groundhog, and put the dug soil into a basket.The upper hole was supported by a stick and a rope was tied below, and from above he lifted the basket up, dumped the soil to the side, and lowered the empty basket.
The two dug together for a day, and the prototype of the cellar has come out.
After a day's work, both of them were exhausted and had no appetite.
Lin Shen went to Chen Erniu's house to buy a piece of tofu and made it into cold tofu. The two ate with the faint light, and the old carpenter ate to his heart's content.
Lin Shen dragged his heavy steps to the back.
It was completely dark, and a round of moon hung in the sky, and the cold moonlight fell from the top of the head, casting a clear light on the earth.
There was no one around, so he hid under the shade of a tree and took off his clothes. Afterwards, he threw himself into the water to wash away the damp heat from his body.
Summer is coming to an end, and basically there is nothing to know.There are also some unwilling children who come out with lanterns every night. It’s better if they can touch the cicadas, and it’s also good to play for a while if they can’t touch the cicadas.
Lin Shen got into the water and heard bursts of laughter coming in.
"In my opinion, there are so many gentlemen in the village, none of them are as handsome as Lin Sanlang." A voice came, causing the other two to bend over with laughter.
"Hey, you are still thinking about him. It's a pity that you, a dead husband, rush to sleep with him, and he doesn't want to." A bitter and mean voice said.
The first person who spoke was not angry, but was still giggling: "He has slept again, how does he know that a widow is good? Just let me sleep with him once, and make sure he thinks about it every day."
"You don't have to be ashamed. If people hear this kind of talk, and if it reaches your parents-in-law, you will suffer." The third person said worriedly.
"It's pitch black, there's no one around here, don't scare yourself."
Three people came out of the nearby forest chattering, each holding a lantern in his hand and carrying a bamboo cage behind him.This kind of bamboo cage is specially made, and there is only a hole on the top, which is specially used for catching birds.
As soon as he heard the voice, he quickly climbed out of the water to the shore, hid behind a tree and put on his own clothes.
His movements were already very light, but he did not expect to be heard.
"Who? Who's there?" A man held a lantern and looked over suspiciously.
Lin Shen didn't know what to say, the place was so remote, yet someone still passed by.
He didn't make a sound, and put on his clothes as fast as he could.
Those three people discussed it, and decided to bravely come and have a look, because they were not afraid of the number of people.
Lin Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fortunately, he had put on his trousers and was holding a top in his hand.He didn't plan to hide, and he wasn't the one who was wrong, he took a good bath here. . .
"It's me." Lin Shen bit the bullet and turned out from behind the tree.
The three of them also came close, and the three lanterns were raised in front of him together.
His eyes were irritated, and Lin Shen had to squint his eyes.
"It's Lin Sanlang." A voice said with twists and turns.
Hearing people say that, goosebumps all over Lin Shen's body.
Lin Shen's face was often exposed to the sun, and his face was tanned, while the parts that were not exposed to the sun were very fair.He got up hastily, his body was still dripping wet, and the pants he had just put on were also wet a lot, and the wet area was still in the triangle area, which made people imagine for no reason.Lin Shen didn't notice it, but the three people on the opposite side could see it clearly.
There are also drops of water on Lin Shen's body, flowing down the thinned muscles, flowing through the strong chest muscles and well-defined abdominal muscles, and finally flowing into the pants.
After this period of exercise, Lin Shen's figure is very attractive, his previously unclear abdominal muscles have become clear, and the hair hanging on his shoulders is dripping down, as long as his eyes are not blind, he can know what he is doing.
Those who have never been married before, like Luo Feng and Liu Sange, will probably turn their heads embarrassed when they see Lin Shen like this, and they are so ashamed that they want to find a hole in the ground and burrow in.But tonight, among the three people, one is a widowed daughter-in-law all year round, the other is the pillar of the family, and the third reconciles after getting married.
All three of them had been married before, not only did not turn their faces away, they also stared at Lin Shen fiercely.No matter how thick-skinned Lin Shen was, he couldn't stand someone staring straight at him like this.They were not ashamed, but he was embarrassed.
Turning around quickly, she hurriedly put on her shirt.
The three behind snickered, making Lin Shen's face and ears blush.
He walked forward with his shoes in his hands, tying his clothes with one hand.
Three people chased after him, only the one who heard the voice of Su Ruan said: "Lin Sanlang, are you taking a bath here?"
Lin Shen didn't speak, just kept walking with his head buried.
"Lin Sanlang, I didn't expect you to have such a good figure." The same voice said.
With a slap, someone slapped his hand, and he glared at the man immediately: "He Caibo, what are you doing?"
He Caibo said slowly: "It's not like I haven't seen it before. You are not ashamed to be so anxious?"
"Who did I lose? It's rare to see such a handsome man, so what if I teased him a few words? It's you, who pretended to be serious. I don't know who's eyes were fixed on me just now, and the hala almost didn't flow down." Lu Xuan was like a cat that stepped on its tail, her voice finally became normal, not as delicate as before.
"I don't have it! It's you, who keeps sweeping down three ways, is it because you want a man?" He Caibo is not easy to provoke.
Exposing the old truth, right?His old background is not clean, and the other party's old bottom is also not clean, so they will die together.
They are plastic sisters, they can be joined together, or they can splash black water on each other and grab each other's heads.
"Think about it, don't you want to? Who wanted to sleep with Lin San just now, maybe Lin San heard it. Would you like me to ask for you, if he is willing?" Lu Xuan yelled.
"Okay, stop arguing, everyone has disappeared, and you are still arguing." Xu Bai said quietly.
The pecking between Lu Xuan and He Caibo ended here.
He Caibo asked in surprise, "When did he leave?"
"When the two of you were arguing so hard." Xu Bai said.
"Why are you in such a hurry, we don't know how to eat people, and I want to touch his stomach, because his stomach looks so easy to touch." Lu Xuan giggled.
"You're dreaming!" He Caibo hit him mercilessly.
Xu Bai glanced this way, then left thoughtfully.
Lin Shen came home in a state of embarrassment. The old carpenter who was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard glanced at him and asked him, "Why are you back barefoot?"
Lin Shen was confused, but fortunately the old carpenter didn't ask any more questions.
The closer to the end of summer, the hotter the weather becomes.
Lin Shen hid in the bed and couldn't sleep because of the heat, so he simply went out with the oil lamp. . .
The first thing the old carpenter did when he got up was to go around the back.
He found that next to the mound dug out yesterday, there was a pile of new soil.Lie down at the entrance of the cellar, squint your eyes and look inside, the space has become much larger again.
"This silly boy didn't sleep at night." The old carpenter shook his head and said.
After returning home, he didn't wake Lin Shen up either. Lin Shen woke up naturally when he fell asleep, and the sun had already risen.
It's stuffy and hot in the cellar during the day, so it's better to work at night.
Lin Shen yawned and told the old carpenter, and the old carpenter sighed and said, "Aren't you stupid? Working at night costs oil and eyes."
It was noon, and everyone in the village had just eaten, and they had nothing to do to enjoy the cool under the shade of the trees with cattail fans.There is a big millstone here, and on top of it are two big banyan trees intertwined.The two trees have lived for an unknown number of years, and one tree is as wide as an adult's open arms. Together, the two trees cover the sky and block out the sun.
Children like to play here. The naughty children raced to climb the tree, and they climbed up.It is a thick tree branch not high from the ground, and it is fine for a few children to sit on it.In summer, the shade under the trees becomes a holy place to escape the heat. Both adults and children like to spread out mats and lie on the ground.
Nearby is a large millstone for grinding rice noodles.This big mill belongs to the Xu family, whoever grinds rice noodles will give the Xu family a copper plate for a bag, the price is fair and cheap.
At this time, an old man was sitting underneath, shaking his cattail fan and telling stories to several children.Lin He and Zhang Xiaoke were also there. The couple came here with their children in their arms. They found a random stone and sat down to chat with someone.
Lin He was bragging: "Three or four people surrounded me and beat me, and I was impatient, so I clutched my pocket tightly to prevent them from snatching it away. When I came back to my senses, I also beat them desperately. Maybe I was too desperate Yes, these people were finally beaten away by me..."
It was obvious that he was beaten and blown like this by him.
Everyone did not know the truth and applauded his bravery.
"You are too daring. If I encounter such a thing, I will be scared to death. I will pay the money and leave."
"Three or four people can't beat you, you are really good."
"Why don't you report it to the police? If I were at the scene, I would report it to the police. You are not the first to be robbed, and others will be victimized."
It was Yuan Hehua who spoke.
"You sounded good. When something like this happened, you would have run away long ago and reported it to the police." Xu Bai couldn't help laughing, and spat out the melon seeds in his mouth.
"I'm the most unselfish person..." Yuan Hehua muttered unconvinced.
"You are not selfish, asking for such a lot of gifts has delayed the important life affairs of your brothers." Luo Feng raised his voice.
"Does my family matter have something to do with you? You haven't even found your husband's family. Opening and shutting up is a lifelong event. Are you ashamed?" Yuan Hehua didn't dare to hate Xu Bai, and Xu Bai was annoyed. He was not allowed to touch the millstone. , What does his whole family eat.How dare he yell at Luo Feng, because Luo Feng's roots in the village are not deep, and the family doesn't even have a labor force except for a blind Ah Mo.
"You are not ashamed if you want money, why should I be ashamed?" Luo Feng sneered.
Yuan Hehua spat: "I'm so poor that I only have a sharp mouth, and I don't have the same knowledge as you."
When it came to important events in his life, Xu Bai's heart moved, and he moved to Lin He's side and asked, "Second brother Lin, your Lin San hasn't made up his mind yet, has he?"
"No, no." Lin He was stunned for a moment, his eyes moved and said, "Why, you want to draw a red line for my third child?"
"I have a younger brother in my family who is also getting married. I think the third child in your family is a good match for my younger brother." Xu Bai stretched out his thin white hands, and the palms were full of roasted melon seeds.Lin He understood what he meant, reached out and grabbed the melon seeds into his hands, and then gave them to Zhang Xiaoke.
Zhang Xiaoke's beautiful eyes flickered, and she listened silently.
"Here, you..." Lin He was about to speak when he was bumped lightly by Zhang Xiaoke.
Zhang Xiaoke: "It's useless for you to tell us, you have to go to Dad and Ah."
Xu Bai blinked a few times, and said with a smile: "If this is done, we will be relatives in the future."
After Xu Bai left, Lin He said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you stopping me and not letting me talk? The Xu family has a big family. There are about a hundred pieces of fertile land. If the third child marries the elder brother of the Xu family, he will spend the rest of his life Don't worry about it."
"What do you know, the Xu family has several elder brothers, and one of them is a fool, who is about the same age as your younger brother this year. Although the Xu family is rich, this foolish son has not yet married. Why don't you know, Xu Bai Isn't it this stupid brother who wants to pull the red line for your brother?" Zhang Xiaoke has been listening to gossip all year round, and has a clear understanding of the Xu family's situation.
"There is such a thing?" Lin He was startled, and then he didn't know what to think of. His face suddenly darkened, and he said in a low voice: "How many people want to marry but still can't? With the reputation of the third child, can you marry me?" It would be nice to find a silly wife. After passing this village, I don’t know if there is such a shop..."
Zhang Xiaoke looked at him in astonishment. Although he didn't like Lin Shen, Lin Shen belonged to the Lin family anyway, so he wouldn't hurt Lin Shen so much.That's a fool, how will Lin Shen live the rest of his life?
Lin Shen didn't know that someone was going to pull the red line for him, and he was still digging the cellar.
After several days of digging, the cellar was finally dug.With Lin Shen's help, the old carpenter came down again.The cellar was dug very large, and the soil on the ground was also very dry, so it would not be a problem to store a few hundred catties of cabbage.
When it comes to cabbage and radishes, Lin Shen means that if you spend money to buy some seeds, you can grow them and you won’t have to worry about running out of vegetables in winter.
The old carpenter said: "I still have some cabbage and radish seeds at home."
After going up, they propped up the cellar door with wood, and covered it with some leaves and the like, so that no one would run over and fall into it.
Lin Shen went to the yard where the old carpenter lived, and found several cloth bags, which contained cabbage and radish seeds.
When it was planted, it took him a few days to scatter all the seeds into the ground.Three seeds are planted in one litter, and after they grow out, the seedlings are picked, and the one with the best growth and the strongest growth is selected.Crowded together, cabbage and radishes can't grow up.
The above was told by the old carpenter to Lin Shen that he grows radishes and cabbages every year.The backyard of the old carpenter's house was not idle either. Lin Shen cleaned up some old vegetables and planted carrots in the vacated land.
Lin Shen was so busy that he couldn't find anyone else.Ah Ma has been here a few times, but both of them missed it.
After Lin Shen came back, the old carpenter said strangely: "I asked him what he wanted from you, but he hesitated and couldn't tell. I said you will be back soon, so let him wait. In the end, he didn't Waiting for you, sit for a while and leave."
Besides, Xu Bai, he makes a lot of friends and can chat with anyone.Unknowingly, he covered other people's words, and these people still couldn't find out.He paid attention to Lin Shen not for a day or two, but for a long time.The main reason is that the original owner has many shortcomings, but he couldn't help but have a good appearance.
Seeing that my younger brother is getting older every year, the family members are very anxious.Xu's family has a hundred acres of fertile land, what they lack is not money, but someone to take care of his family's silly children.People are going to die sooner or later, what will happen to this silly child if there is no one to take care of them after a hundred years?
Xu Bai knew his parents were worried, and he was also secretly looking for someone who could trust his younger brother.If it was Lin Shen in the past, he wouldn't even think about it.The discerning people in the village say that Lin Shen has changed a lot.
About a month ago, Xu Bai accidentally saw Lin Shen beating Wu Dawei violently.At that time, he was astonished, thinking that dogs can't change eating shit.Lin Shen is still the same Lin Shen, even worse than before.Such a person, he should stay away.But by accident, he went to Wu Dawei's neighbor again, and learned all the truth from Luo Feng. . .
Xu Bai went to meet Lin Shen's parents with a gift.
He talked gaudyly, coaxing Lin Yue and his wife to blush, as if a family fortune of hundreds of thousands was right in front of them.
Xu Bai promised them: "As long as the wedding is over, the Xu family will give you two elders 500 taels of silver."
That's 500 taels!
To be able to earn a daughter-in-law and get so much money is a piece of pie in the sky.
Ah Ma approached Lin Shen several times, just for Lin Shen's marriage.
When Lin Shen returned home from work, Mrs. Lin Zhou still hadn't left.
Seeing Lin Shen, he immediately stood up.
"Third brother, where have you been? It was too difficult for me to find you once. I have been here three times, and today I saw you." Ah Mo said impatiently.
"I'm off to work." Lin Shen patted the dirt on his clothes, and Lin Zhou hid several steps away.
Lin Shen ran to the water to wash his hands and face.
Ah Mo squatted next to him, smiling like an old chrysanthemum: "It's a great thing that happened to you. I say you are lucky, neither your elder brother nor second brother have such a good thing."
Lin Shen asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
"Xu Bai's younger brother has taken a fancy to you, you are lucky." Ah Mo said beamingly.
"Who is Xu Bai?" Lin Shen asked.
Ah Mo slapped his thigh and said, "Xu Bai is the richest person in our village. He is from the Xu family. The Xu family has a hundred acres of fertile land, and the grain harvested every year can't fit in the granary. He said, as long as you are willing to marry his younger brother, his younger brother’s dowry will cost several thousand taels of silver, and there will be a few bunks in the town. You have fallen into a blessing..."
No matter what he said, Lin Shen remained unmoved: "I haven't met his brother at all, let's forget it."
"How can I forget it? You haven't seen it, at least it's good to see it once. You just refused, how can I explain to others? Your father and I are guaranteed, even if you are knocked out I will also bring you to meet people." Ah Mo said with spit.
Lin Shen was very reluctant. To put it bluntly, it was a blind date.He felt that his conditions were not bad, and he hadn't reached the point where he had to go on a blind date.What's more, he really doesn't like blind dates. He only said a few words, and some of them didn't even get a word, and the family members hurriedly asked if you were in love?This is a matter of a lifetime, and it's not about mating animals, just putting them in a pen and mating them.
In his previous life, he rejected blind dates, and it hasn't changed here, just the same rejection.He said resolutely: "I won't go, you let others go."
"Except that you are not married, your elder brother and second elder brother are married, do you want to be single for the rest of your life?" Ah Mo asked angrily.
"If I can't find someone I like, then I'll be a bachelor for the rest of my life." Lin Shen said forcefully.
"You, you want to piss me and your father to death." Lin Shen couldn't say anything, Ah Mo hit the old carpenter with his head down, pretending to wipe tears: "You are his master, help me persuade him Him. If he goes on like this, when will he marry a wife? Is he really going to be a bachelor? I will never allow such a thing to happen. "
Xu Bai said that as long as Lin Shen is willing to nod, the Xu family will first send a thank you gift of 20 taels of silver.The couple got into the eyes of money, and they only wanted to draw Lin Shen to a blind date.
The old carpenter chuckled twice: "Put your heart in your belly, a good wife is waiting behind, Shen'er can't beat a bachelor."
Ah Mo was stunned, he wanted the old carpenter to speak for him, but he didn't expect the old carpenter to say something like this, which sounded mysterious.
He was drooling all over, but Lin Shen didn't nod.
Lin Shen went to cook, and when he swung the kitchen knife down, his eyes were so fierce that he was so frightened that he refused to say a word of nonsense, and left quietly.
The old carpenter lit the fire and said, "There are people in your heart who don't want to go on a blind date."
"No, I don't like blind dates." Lin Shen said expressionlessly.
He smashed the cucumbers.
The old carpenter said with a smile: "You are still stubborn, is it difficult to admit that you like someone?"
"I'm not from the same world as him."
After a long time, Lin Shen said.
"Who is he? Did you give that small cart to someone else?" The old carpenter asked knowingly.
"No, I played it myself." Lin Shen frowned.
Knowing that he was in a bad mood, the old carpenter didn't irritate him anymore, and just lit the fire honestly.
After Lin Shen went out, he whispered, "Touching that little car every day, I don't know how much I was looking forward to it, so I wouldn't send it over. It looks pretty good, but it's just a piece of wood. I don't know how to take the initiative."
Lin Zhou came back with downcast eyes.
Xu Bai saw it, went up to meet him from a distance, and asked with a smile, "How is it?"
Lin Zhou's heart felt weak, and she didn't dare to look directly into Xu Bai's eyes.The big talk was released, but he didn't get things done.
"This, the third child didn't agree. If you give me the money, I'll give it back to you."
Lin Zhou was very reluctant to give up, and took out ten taels of silver from her close-fitting clothes.Before he left, Xu Bo gave him ten taels of silver, and after getting an affirmative answer, Xu Bo gave him another ten taels of silver.
Xu Bai was also very disappointed. He forced a smile and said, "No, since I have given the money, I have no intention of taking it back. You can take it at ease, and treat it as a gift from me. Things in this world are uncertain. Don't look at Lin Shen's reluctance now, maybe one day he will be willing."
"Then why are you so embarrassed?" Lin Zhou's eyes lit up, and he quickly put back the money he just took out. He looked at Xu Bai as if he was looking at a cornucopia.
After talking politely for a while, the two separated.
When Xu Bai returned to his home, Lin Zhou cursed Lin Shen in his heart: the rebellious son who killed a thousand swords, after giving birth to him, God will come to collect debts.
"Sister-in-law—" a voice came faintly from behind.
Lin Zhou's forehead froze, and she almost jumped up in fright: "Who, who is so scary?"
"It's me." The man had a bright smile on his face, which could almost dazzle people's eyes under the sunlight.
...
do not know when.The old carpenter stood behind him, looking blankly at the green eyes.
"Its fruit is on the bottom, and it can be eaten when it is ripe. It can be eaten now, but it is the stem." Lin Shen said.
"Is it delicious?" asked the old carpenter.
Tired of eating big fish and meat, he wants to eat something light now, and swallows when he sees something green.What he wants to eat most is Zhizhi. The taste after frying is so amazing, no matter how much fish and meat he eats, it can't compare to it.
Lin Shen got into the bamboo forest on one side, and saw what he wanted within a short distance.Carefully digging to the bottom with an iron grab, he dug out two enough to eat for tonight, and he took the things back.
This is the advantage of being backed by the bamboo forest, and there are fresh bamboo shoots to eat from time to time.
When he went out, he looked while walking, and found that some bamboos had diseased spots on them, and it was estimated that there were bamboo insects in them.
He gave the bamboo shoots to the old carpenter, peeled off the outer hard shell, and the bamboo shoots inside were ready to eat.Turning around and taking the tool into the bamboo forest, I found the place marked before, split the shell of the bamboo with a sickle, and sure enough, I saw the bamboo worms that had sucked enough bamboo juice and were round and plump.
After pouring the bamboo worms into the tools that he carried, Lin Shen was about to strike at a bamboo with diseased spots nearby, when he heard a light cracking sound not far away.
"Yeah, there are really bugs in there."
It sounded like Brother Liu.
Another voice said, "Hurry up and take out your bamboo tube and pour the bamboo worms in."
Brother Liu San timidly said: "I, I dare not, come quickly."
Luo Feng said angrily: "I didn't see that you were afraid when I was eating!"
After speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Shen in surprise.
"You're back?"
He raised his footsteps, as if he wanted to walk towards Lin Shen, seeing the expression on Brother Liu's face, he resisted the urge.
"Just came back." Lin Shen nodded and looked at them with a smile: "You found the bamboo worms delicious?"
Luo Feng looked embarrassed, and said dryly: "It's delicious."
He doesn't care if it's delicious or not, he just wants to eat meat.Given the situation in his family, he couldn't afford a meal of meat all year round.If you don't eat meat, you will lack nutrition. Both he and Ah Mo's hair are yellow.He was also very hungry and frightened. Seeing that Lin Shen dared to eat bamboo worms, he mustered up his courage to look for bamboo worms everywhere.
After eating it, Ah Mo said it was delicious, and asked him, "What kind of meat is this?"
Luo Feng felt bitter in his heart.
If there is a way, who would want to eat this kind of thing?
Brother Liu also ate it once, but Luo Feng didn't tell him what it was.When he told him the truth later, he was shocked and disgusted.
This time, Luo Feng took Sange Liu out to look for bamboo worms.
Brother Liu thought he was being upright, and said no, he was more active than Luo Feng when looking for bamboo insects.
"It's good as long as it's delicious. It looks scary, but it's actually very nutritious." Lin Shen nodded with a smile, turned around and was about to leave.
"Lin Sanlang!" Liu Sange shouted.
When Luo Feng was talking to Lin Shen, he kept silent and leaned against a bamboo in silence.Seeing that Lin Shen was about to leave, he had no choice but to speak out.
"Is there anything else?" Lin Shen looked at him suspiciously.
Brother Liu San looked at him with complicated eyes: "Why don't you ask my Little Six?"
Lin Shen was stunned for a while, without thinking too much, he opened his mouth and said, "Should I ask?"
"You!" Brother Liu was a little angry, but he didn't know why he was angry, and stared at Lin Shen with a pair of watery eyes.
The second monk Lin Shenzhang couldn't figure it out, but waited patiently in place.
Luo Feng looked at this, then at that, slowly lowered his head, and picked at the bamboo tube with his thin fingers.
"Forget it, let's go." Brother Liu San took a careful look at his expression, and found that he didn't pretend to be like this on purpose, he suddenly thought of something, waved his hand and said.
Lin Shen thought for a while and said, "I don't have any great abilities, and I'm not a good person either. If something happens to you, as long as I do what I can, I will definitely help you."
After speaking, regardless of their reaction, Lin Shen left with the things in his hand.
"You stopped him, why didn't you ask clearly?" Luo Feng asked in a low voice.
"It looks like he doesn't mean that to Xiaoliu. I asked him to humiliate myself." Liu Sange said.
Luo Feng nodded.
Brother Liu went on to say: "He helped Xiao Liu several times before, you can't blame me for thinking too much, I thought he was interested in Xiao Liu, and I thought so too. He also asked Lao Liu to take advantage of Lin Sanlang's liking , try every means to get benefits from Lin Sanlang. You said, if he knows, he has no interest in Xiao Liu at all, will he be mad?"
The two laughed together.
Peel the bamboo shoots and soak them in clean water for a while, then take them out and cut them into thin strips.Throw it into boiling boiling water and toss it a few times, then take it out and throw it into a clear water basin.
Lin Shen took down the bamboo basket above his head and found a piece of dried meat from it.After the fresh meat is bought, it is cleaned, coated with a layer of salt, and hung under the eaves to dry naturally, so that the preservation time can be longer.
For example, they often go out to work, and they go out for more than 20 days.You can't buy a little at the butcher's house, and they won't sell it to you.Besides, people don't kill pigs every day.When they buy meat, they always buy a large strip. It is a pity to throw away the unfinished meat.
The meat preserved in this way tastes chewy, but it takes a lot of effort to cut it.Before cutting the meat, Lin Shen took the knife outside and sharpened it on the whetstone for a long time.
The meat slices should be sliced thinly, so that you can see the figure on the opposite side. There are lean meat and fat meat, which looks very appetizing.Pour a little oil before putting it in the pot, and the pot becomes oily.Put the meat in and stir-fry a few times, and the special meat aroma will come out.
The transparent meat slices shrink slowly, and all the oil inside is fried out. Then put down the chopped bamboo shoots and stir a few times to ensure that each bamboo shoot is covered with oil.It's a pity that there is no chili, or put a little bit, that taste. . .
I can't think about it, my saliva will flow down if I think about it.
Lin Shen pulled up the towel hanging around his neck, wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out the fried pork with bamboo shoots with a spoon, and then fried the bamboo worms.
He put the cleaned bamboo worms directly into the oil pan without adding oil, and then spread them out with a spoon so that each bamboo worm could fully contact the iron pan.Stir-fry a few times to flatten, and repeat this several times.When the frying is almost done, just pour a little less oil.
The pot here is occupied, and the old carpenter set up a pot outside and cooked a pot of rice.
Before it was dark, the smoke rose from the kitchen, and the aroma of the food drew out all the animals in the forest, lying down in the thick grass and sniffing their little noses.
It was stuffy and hot in the house, and the eating place was in the courtyard, and at least sometimes the wind blew over.
"I'll build a coal stove another day. It will be more convenient if I can boil some water or stew meat." Lin Shen discussed with the old carpenter.
"Then do it." The old carpenter took a few sips of wine and said with a smile: "You always have some weird things in your mind, and I don't ask you how you came up with them, as long as you make them useful."
There is a pot in the kitchen, which is used for cooking and cooking. It is very inconvenient to boil water.No matter how clean the pot is, there will always be oil stars floating in the boiling water.They are rough people in the first place, they are exhausted from work, as long as they have water to drink, they don't have to pay so much attention.It's not good if guests come to the house. For guests of status like Jiang Qingsong and Jiang Daizhen, it would be rude to let others drink such tea.
Lin Shen smiled and said, "It must be easy to use."
The big words have been released, and the rest is how to do it.The furnace is made of ordinary mud, and it will crack after a short time of burning.Lin Shen thought of some ways, smashed the straw, dug some mud from the river, and stirred the two together.In order to increase the stickiness, he needs to step on it repeatedly in it.
Afterwards, while the muddy water hadn't dried up, he built it into the shape of a stove with mud blocks.To prevent the furnace from burning, put a layer of pot bottom ash inside and expose it to the sun.
In the middle, the old carpenter came to see it several times. He didn't know how to make this stove, so he could only watch with his arms folded.Seeing that the stove was finished, he squatted under the sun for a long time and asked in amazement, "Is this all right?"
"I dug out all the things in my mind, and it's the only way to succeed or fail." Lin Shen said.
Summer is over and autumn is over, he has to hurry up and dig out the cellar.
The place to dig the cellar was chosen by an old carpenter, and low-lying places should not be chosen, as water will seep in if the terrain is low.It is necessary to choose a dry and high-lying place, so that the cellar will remain dry and at a suitable temperature.
After picking a place, Lin Shen began to dig down.There was no one walking around, and the soil was not too hard, so it was easy to dig.But no matter how easy it is, it needs people to dig it.After digging more than one meter deep, blood blisters appeared on the joints of Lin Shen's hands.
The old carpenter came over and looked very distressed, so he asked him to rest for a while before working.
Lin Shen was also a little tired, so he asked the old carpenter to pop the blood blisters on his hands, and lay down on the bed to rest for a while.
When he got up, the old carpenter had already cut the meat, washed the vegetables and put them on the chopping board.
Lin Shen pulled off the herbs, wrapped his hands in two pieces of cloth, and cooked the vegetables.After the father and two finished their meal, they continued to dig the cellar.
The larger the cellar, the more things can be stored.Lin Shen wanted to store more things, so the cellar he had to dig was also very large, and naturally it took a long time.Moreover, the cellar cannot be dug too shallow, and the purpose of storage cannot be achieved.
Lin Shen dug a four-meter-long passage, using ropes to go up and down, and kicking his legs alternately on the wall.
The old carpenter was lying at the entrance of the cave, and he was relieved when he saw Lin Shen appearing.There was a lot of soil piled up next to it, and Lin Shen dug underneath like a groundhog, and put the dug soil into a basket.The upper hole was supported by a stick and a rope was tied below, and from above he lifted the basket up, dumped the soil to the side, and lowered the empty basket.
The two dug together for a day, and the prototype of the cellar has come out.
After a day's work, both of them were exhausted and had no appetite.
Lin Shen went to Chen Erniu's house to buy a piece of tofu and made it into cold tofu. The two ate with the faint light, and the old carpenter ate to his heart's content.
Lin Shen dragged his heavy steps to the back.
It was completely dark, and a round of moon hung in the sky, and the cold moonlight fell from the top of the head, casting a clear light on the earth.
There was no one around, so he hid under the shade of a tree and took off his clothes. Afterwards, he threw himself into the water to wash away the damp heat from his body.
Summer is coming to an end, and basically there is nothing to know.There are also some unwilling children who come out with lanterns every night. It’s better if they can touch the cicadas, and it’s also good to play for a while if they can’t touch the cicadas.
Lin Shen got into the water and heard bursts of laughter coming in.
"In my opinion, there are so many gentlemen in the village, none of them are as handsome as Lin Sanlang." A voice came, causing the other two to bend over with laughter.
"Hey, you are still thinking about him. It's a pity that you, a dead husband, rush to sleep with him, and he doesn't want to." A bitter and mean voice said.
The first person who spoke was not angry, but was still giggling: "He has slept again, how does he know that a widow is good? Just let me sleep with him once, and make sure he thinks about it every day."
"You don't have to be ashamed. If people hear this kind of talk, and if it reaches your parents-in-law, you will suffer." The third person said worriedly.
"It's pitch black, there's no one around here, don't scare yourself."
Three people came out of the nearby forest chattering, each holding a lantern in his hand and carrying a bamboo cage behind him.This kind of bamboo cage is specially made, and there is only a hole on the top, which is specially used for catching birds.
As soon as he heard the voice, he quickly climbed out of the water to the shore, hid behind a tree and put on his own clothes.
His movements were already very light, but he did not expect to be heard.
"Who? Who's there?" A man held a lantern and looked over suspiciously.
Lin Shen didn't know what to say, the place was so remote, yet someone still passed by.
He didn't make a sound, and put on his clothes as fast as he could.
Those three people discussed it, and decided to bravely come and have a look, because they were not afraid of the number of people.
Lin Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fortunately, he had put on his trousers and was holding a top in his hand.He didn't plan to hide, and he wasn't the one who was wrong, he took a good bath here. . .
"It's me." Lin Shen bit the bullet and turned out from behind the tree.
The three of them also came close, and the three lanterns were raised in front of him together.
His eyes were irritated, and Lin Shen had to squint his eyes.
"It's Lin Sanlang." A voice said with twists and turns.
Hearing people say that, goosebumps all over Lin Shen's body.
Lin Shen's face was often exposed to the sun, and his face was tanned, while the parts that were not exposed to the sun were very fair.He got up hastily, his body was still dripping wet, and the pants he had just put on were also wet a lot, and the wet area was still in the triangle area, which made people imagine for no reason.Lin Shen didn't notice it, but the three people on the opposite side could see it clearly.
There are also drops of water on Lin Shen's body, flowing down the thinned muscles, flowing through the strong chest muscles and well-defined abdominal muscles, and finally flowing into the pants.
After this period of exercise, Lin Shen's figure is very attractive, his previously unclear abdominal muscles have become clear, and the hair hanging on his shoulders is dripping down, as long as his eyes are not blind, he can know what he is doing.
Those who have never been married before, like Luo Feng and Liu Sange, will probably turn their heads embarrassed when they see Lin Shen like this, and they are so ashamed that they want to find a hole in the ground and burrow in.But tonight, among the three people, one is a widowed daughter-in-law all year round, the other is the pillar of the family, and the third reconciles after getting married.
All three of them had been married before, not only did not turn their faces away, they also stared at Lin Shen fiercely.No matter how thick-skinned Lin Shen was, he couldn't stand someone staring straight at him like this.They were not ashamed, but he was embarrassed.
Turning around quickly, she hurriedly put on her shirt.
The three behind snickered, making Lin Shen's face and ears blush.
He walked forward with his shoes in his hands, tying his clothes with one hand.
Three people chased after him, only the one who heard the voice of Su Ruan said: "Lin Sanlang, are you taking a bath here?"
Lin Shen didn't speak, just kept walking with his head buried.
"Lin Sanlang, I didn't expect you to have such a good figure." The same voice said.
With a slap, someone slapped his hand, and he glared at the man immediately: "He Caibo, what are you doing?"
He Caibo said slowly: "It's not like I haven't seen it before. You are not ashamed to be so anxious?"
"Who did I lose? It's rare to see such a handsome man, so what if I teased him a few words? It's you, who pretended to be serious. I don't know who's eyes were fixed on me just now, and the hala almost didn't flow down." Lu Xuan was like a cat that stepped on its tail, her voice finally became normal, not as delicate as before.
"I don't have it! It's you, who keeps sweeping down three ways, is it because you want a man?" He Caibo is not easy to provoke.
Exposing the old truth, right?His old background is not clean, and the other party's old bottom is also not clean, so they will die together.
They are plastic sisters, they can be joined together, or they can splash black water on each other and grab each other's heads.
"Think about it, don't you want to? Who wanted to sleep with Lin San just now, maybe Lin San heard it. Would you like me to ask for you, if he is willing?" Lu Xuan yelled.
"Okay, stop arguing, everyone has disappeared, and you are still arguing." Xu Bai said quietly.
The pecking between Lu Xuan and He Caibo ended here.
He Caibo asked in surprise, "When did he leave?"
"When the two of you were arguing so hard." Xu Bai said.
"Why are you in such a hurry, we don't know how to eat people, and I want to touch his stomach, because his stomach looks so easy to touch." Lu Xuan giggled.
"You're dreaming!" He Caibo hit him mercilessly.
Xu Bai glanced this way, then left thoughtfully.
Lin Shen came home in a state of embarrassment. The old carpenter who was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard glanced at him and asked him, "Why are you back barefoot?"
Lin Shen was confused, but fortunately the old carpenter didn't ask any more questions.
The closer to the end of summer, the hotter the weather becomes.
Lin Shen hid in the bed and couldn't sleep because of the heat, so he simply went out with the oil lamp. . .
The first thing the old carpenter did when he got up was to go around the back.
He found that next to the mound dug out yesterday, there was a pile of new soil.Lie down at the entrance of the cellar, squint your eyes and look inside, the space has become much larger again.
"This silly boy didn't sleep at night." The old carpenter shook his head and said.
After returning home, he didn't wake Lin Shen up either. Lin Shen woke up naturally when he fell asleep, and the sun had already risen.
It's stuffy and hot in the cellar during the day, so it's better to work at night.
Lin Shen yawned and told the old carpenter, and the old carpenter sighed and said, "Aren't you stupid? Working at night costs oil and eyes."
It was noon, and everyone in the village had just eaten, and they had nothing to do to enjoy the cool under the shade of the trees with cattail fans.There is a big millstone here, and on top of it are two big banyan trees intertwined.The two trees have lived for an unknown number of years, and one tree is as wide as an adult's open arms. Together, the two trees cover the sky and block out the sun.
Children like to play here. The naughty children raced to climb the tree, and they climbed up.It is a thick tree branch not high from the ground, and it is fine for a few children to sit on it.In summer, the shade under the trees becomes a holy place to escape the heat. Both adults and children like to spread out mats and lie on the ground.
Nearby is a large millstone for grinding rice noodles.This big mill belongs to the Xu family, whoever grinds rice noodles will give the Xu family a copper plate for a bag, the price is fair and cheap.
At this time, an old man was sitting underneath, shaking his cattail fan and telling stories to several children.Lin He and Zhang Xiaoke were also there. The couple came here with their children in their arms. They found a random stone and sat down to chat with someone.
Lin He was bragging: "Three or four people surrounded me and beat me, and I was impatient, so I clutched my pocket tightly to prevent them from snatching it away. When I came back to my senses, I also beat them desperately. Maybe I was too desperate Yes, these people were finally beaten away by me..."
It was obvious that he was beaten and blown like this by him.
Everyone did not know the truth and applauded his bravery.
"You are too daring. If I encounter such a thing, I will be scared to death. I will pay the money and leave."
"Three or four people can't beat you, you are really good."
"Why don't you report it to the police? If I were at the scene, I would report it to the police. You are not the first to be robbed, and others will be victimized."
It was Yuan Hehua who spoke.
"You sounded good. When something like this happened, you would have run away long ago and reported it to the police." Xu Bai couldn't help laughing, and spat out the melon seeds in his mouth.
"I'm the most unselfish person..." Yuan Hehua muttered unconvinced.
"You are not selfish, asking for such a lot of gifts has delayed the important life affairs of your brothers." Luo Feng raised his voice.
"Does my family matter have something to do with you? You haven't even found your husband's family. Opening and shutting up is a lifelong event. Are you ashamed?" Yuan Hehua didn't dare to hate Xu Bai, and Xu Bai was annoyed. He was not allowed to touch the millstone. , What does his whole family eat.How dare he yell at Luo Feng, because Luo Feng's roots in the village are not deep, and the family doesn't even have a labor force except for a blind Ah Mo.
"You are not ashamed if you want money, why should I be ashamed?" Luo Feng sneered.
Yuan Hehua spat: "I'm so poor that I only have a sharp mouth, and I don't have the same knowledge as you."
When it came to important events in his life, Xu Bai's heart moved, and he moved to Lin He's side and asked, "Second brother Lin, your Lin San hasn't made up his mind yet, has he?"
"No, no." Lin He was stunned for a moment, his eyes moved and said, "Why, you want to draw a red line for my third child?"
"I have a younger brother in my family who is also getting married. I think the third child in your family is a good match for my younger brother." Xu Bai stretched out his thin white hands, and the palms were full of roasted melon seeds.Lin He understood what he meant, reached out and grabbed the melon seeds into his hands, and then gave them to Zhang Xiaoke.
Zhang Xiaoke's beautiful eyes flickered, and she listened silently.
"Here, you..." Lin He was about to speak when he was bumped lightly by Zhang Xiaoke.
Zhang Xiaoke: "It's useless for you to tell us, you have to go to Dad and Ah."
Xu Bai blinked a few times, and said with a smile: "If this is done, we will be relatives in the future."
After Xu Bai left, Lin He said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you stopping me and not letting me talk? The Xu family has a big family. There are about a hundred pieces of fertile land. If the third child marries the elder brother of the Xu family, he will spend the rest of his life Don't worry about it."
"What do you know, the Xu family has several elder brothers, and one of them is a fool, who is about the same age as your younger brother this year. Although the Xu family is rich, this foolish son has not yet married. Why don't you know, Xu Bai Isn't it this stupid brother who wants to pull the red line for your brother?" Zhang Xiaoke has been listening to gossip all year round, and has a clear understanding of the Xu family's situation.
"There is such a thing?" Lin He was startled, and then he didn't know what to think of. His face suddenly darkened, and he said in a low voice: "How many people want to marry but still can't? With the reputation of the third child, can you marry me?" It would be nice to find a silly wife. After passing this village, I don’t know if there is such a shop..."
Zhang Xiaoke looked at him in astonishment. Although he didn't like Lin Shen, Lin Shen belonged to the Lin family anyway, so he wouldn't hurt Lin Shen so much.That's a fool, how will Lin Shen live the rest of his life?
Lin Shen didn't know that someone was going to pull the red line for him, and he was still digging the cellar.
After several days of digging, the cellar was finally dug.With Lin Shen's help, the old carpenter came down again.The cellar was dug very large, and the soil on the ground was also very dry, so it would not be a problem to store a few hundred catties of cabbage.
When it comes to cabbage and radishes, Lin Shen means that if you spend money to buy some seeds, you can grow them and you won’t have to worry about running out of vegetables in winter.
The old carpenter said: "I still have some cabbage and radish seeds at home."
After going up, they propped up the cellar door with wood, and covered it with some leaves and the like, so that no one would run over and fall into it.
Lin Shen went to the yard where the old carpenter lived, and found several cloth bags, which contained cabbage and radish seeds.
When it was planted, it took him a few days to scatter all the seeds into the ground.Three seeds are planted in one litter, and after they grow out, the seedlings are picked, and the one with the best growth and the strongest growth is selected.Crowded together, cabbage and radishes can't grow up.
The above was told by the old carpenter to Lin Shen that he grows radishes and cabbages every year.The backyard of the old carpenter's house was not idle either. Lin Shen cleaned up some old vegetables and planted carrots in the vacated land.
Lin Shen was so busy that he couldn't find anyone else.Ah Ma has been here a few times, but both of them missed it.
After Lin Shen came back, the old carpenter said strangely: "I asked him what he wanted from you, but he hesitated and couldn't tell. I said you will be back soon, so let him wait. In the end, he didn't Waiting for you, sit for a while and leave."
Besides, Xu Bai, he makes a lot of friends and can chat with anyone.Unknowingly, he covered other people's words, and these people still couldn't find out.He paid attention to Lin Shen not for a day or two, but for a long time.The main reason is that the original owner has many shortcomings, but he couldn't help but have a good appearance.
Seeing that my younger brother is getting older every year, the family members are very anxious.Xu's family has a hundred acres of fertile land, what they lack is not money, but someone to take care of his family's silly children.People are going to die sooner or later, what will happen to this silly child if there is no one to take care of them after a hundred years?
Xu Bai knew his parents were worried, and he was also secretly looking for someone who could trust his younger brother.If it was Lin Shen in the past, he wouldn't even think about it.The discerning people in the village say that Lin Shen has changed a lot.
About a month ago, Xu Bai accidentally saw Lin Shen beating Wu Dawei violently.At that time, he was astonished, thinking that dogs can't change eating shit.Lin Shen is still the same Lin Shen, even worse than before.Such a person, he should stay away.But by accident, he went to Wu Dawei's neighbor again, and learned all the truth from Luo Feng. . .
Xu Bai went to meet Lin Shen's parents with a gift.
He talked gaudyly, coaxing Lin Yue and his wife to blush, as if a family fortune of hundreds of thousands was right in front of them.
Xu Bai promised them: "As long as the wedding is over, the Xu family will give you two elders 500 taels of silver."
That's 500 taels!
To be able to earn a daughter-in-law and get so much money is a piece of pie in the sky.
Ah Ma approached Lin Shen several times, just for Lin Shen's marriage.
When Lin Shen returned home from work, Mrs. Lin Zhou still hadn't left.
Seeing Lin Shen, he immediately stood up.
"Third brother, where have you been? It was too difficult for me to find you once. I have been here three times, and today I saw you." Ah Mo said impatiently.
"I'm off to work." Lin Shen patted the dirt on his clothes, and Lin Zhou hid several steps away.
Lin Shen ran to the water to wash his hands and face.
Ah Mo squatted next to him, smiling like an old chrysanthemum: "It's a great thing that happened to you. I say you are lucky, neither your elder brother nor second brother have such a good thing."
Lin Shen asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
"Xu Bai's younger brother has taken a fancy to you, you are lucky." Ah Mo said beamingly.
"Who is Xu Bai?" Lin Shen asked.
Ah Mo slapped his thigh and said, "Xu Bai is the richest person in our village. He is from the Xu family. The Xu family has a hundred acres of fertile land, and the grain harvested every year can't fit in the granary. He said, as long as you are willing to marry his younger brother, his younger brother’s dowry will cost several thousand taels of silver, and there will be a few bunks in the town. You have fallen into a blessing..."
No matter what he said, Lin Shen remained unmoved: "I haven't met his brother at all, let's forget it."
"How can I forget it? You haven't seen it, at least it's good to see it once. You just refused, how can I explain to others? Your father and I are guaranteed, even if you are knocked out I will also bring you to meet people." Ah Mo said with spit.
Lin Shen was very reluctant. To put it bluntly, it was a blind date.He felt that his conditions were not bad, and he hadn't reached the point where he had to go on a blind date.What's more, he really doesn't like blind dates. He only said a few words, and some of them didn't even get a word, and the family members hurriedly asked if you were in love?This is a matter of a lifetime, and it's not about mating animals, just putting them in a pen and mating them.
In his previous life, he rejected blind dates, and it hasn't changed here, just the same rejection.He said resolutely: "I won't go, you let others go."
"Except that you are not married, your elder brother and second elder brother are married, do you want to be single for the rest of your life?" Ah Mo asked angrily.
"If I can't find someone I like, then I'll be a bachelor for the rest of my life." Lin Shen said forcefully.
"You, you want to piss me and your father to death." Lin Shen couldn't say anything, Ah Mo hit the old carpenter with his head down, pretending to wipe tears: "You are his master, help me persuade him Him. If he goes on like this, when will he marry a wife? Is he really going to be a bachelor? I will never allow such a thing to happen. "
Xu Bai said that as long as Lin Shen is willing to nod, the Xu family will first send a thank you gift of 20 taels of silver.The couple got into the eyes of money, and they only wanted to draw Lin Shen to a blind date.
The old carpenter chuckled twice: "Put your heart in your belly, a good wife is waiting behind, Shen'er can't beat a bachelor."
Ah Mo was stunned, he wanted the old carpenter to speak for him, but he didn't expect the old carpenter to say something like this, which sounded mysterious.
He was drooling all over, but Lin Shen didn't nod.
Lin Shen went to cook, and when he swung the kitchen knife down, his eyes were so fierce that he was so frightened that he refused to say a word of nonsense, and left quietly.
The old carpenter lit the fire and said, "There are people in your heart who don't want to go on a blind date."
"No, I don't like blind dates." Lin Shen said expressionlessly.
He smashed the cucumbers.
The old carpenter said with a smile: "You are still stubborn, is it difficult to admit that you like someone?"
"I'm not from the same world as him."
After a long time, Lin Shen said.
"Who is he? Did you give that small cart to someone else?" The old carpenter asked knowingly.
"No, I played it myself." Lin Shen frowned.
Knowing that he was in a bad mood, the old carpenter didn't irritate him anymore, and just lit the fire honestly.
After Lin Shen went out, he whispered, "Touching that little car every day, I don't know how much I was looking forward to it, so I wouldn't send it over. It looks pretty good, but it's just a piece of wood. I don't know how to take the initiative."
Lin Zhou came back with downcast eyes.
Xu Bai saw it, went up to meet him from a distance, and asked with a smile, "How is it?"
Lin Zhou's heart felt weak, and she didn't dare to look directly into Xu Bai's eyes.The big talk was released, but he didn't get things done.
"This, the third child didn't agree. If you give me the money, I'll give it back to you."
Lin Zhou was very reluctant to give up, and took out ten taels of silver from her close-fitting clothes.Before he left, Xu Bo gave him ten taels of silver, and after getting an affirmative answer, Xu Bo gave him another ten taels of silver.
Xu Bai was also very disappointed. He forced a smile and said, "No, since I have given the money, I have no intention of taking it back. You can take it at ease, and treat it as a gift from me. Things in this world are uncertain. Don't look at Lin Shen's reluctance now, maybe one day he will be willing."
"Then why are you so embarrassed?" Lin Zhou's eyes lit up, and he quickly put back the money he just took out. He looked at Xu Bai as if he was looking at a cornucopia.
After talking politely for a while, the two separated.
When Xu Bai returned to his home, Lin Zhou cursed Lin Shen in his heart: the rebellious son who killed a thousand swords, after giving birth to him, God will come to collect debts.
"Sister-in-law—" a voice came faintly from behind.
Lin Zhou's forehead froze, and she almost jumped up in fright: "Who, who is so scary?"
"It's me." The man had a bright smile on his face, which could almost dazzle people's eyes under the sunlight.
