A good husband and fortune

The weather was getting colder and colder. The ice in the Linjiagou River was three feet thick, and the ice in the pond was so thick that running on it was not a problem for a carriage.

As the weather got colder and colder, the work progress on the road repair side began to slow down. The weather was too cold and the speed of work slowed down a lot, but fortunately, there was still half a month to complete the work.

Everyone is looking forward to this half month, don’t let it snow, wait for the road to be repaired before it snows, the winter moon is over in a blink of an eye, and after entering the twelfth lunar month, the whole atmosphere will be different.

The weather here in Qingshui Town is cold, and every winter is accompanied by violent snowstorms. This year, the villagers of Linjiagou have money, so they have bought supplies for the winter early, and those who have extra money have used it to strengthen the house.

As the weather got colder, Lin Zhi didn't want to go out even more, so he stayed at home every day, ate and slept, and because he was pregnant, he was fed various kinds of food in different ways every day. It's only been more than three months. , Lin Zhi has already gained more than ten catties.

"I think I should pay attention to my diet. If I continue to eat like this and wait for the baby to be born, I won't be fat like a pig." Lin Zhi was eating roasted pig's feet when he said this, holding the pig's feet with both hands. Mouth full of oil.

During the period of raising the baby at home, Lin Zhi made a lot of delicacies by mistake. This roasted pig's trotter is the most outstanding one. Now that the weather is cold, the roasted pig's trotter with marinated charcoal in Hongfu Restaurant is very popular. up.

Lin Zhi still borrowed the know-how of the food in the world he lived in. After the fresh pig’s trotters were boiled with spices until soft, they were taken out and cut into two halves, and then grilled on charcoal fire. Although there were not many seasonings, the appearance was burnt. Crunchy and soft on the inside, sprinkled with salt and various spice powder, garnished with a little chili, it is simply delicious.

The charcoal-grilled iron grid for roasting pig's trotters was also designed by Lin Zhi specially by a blacksmith. It can be used not only to roast pig's trotters, but also to roast other things.

Lin An is now Lin Zhi's professional escort, eating, chatting and playing with him, which made Lin An gain several pounds.

"You toss these foods at home every day, how can you not gain weight?" Lin An didn't stop as he spoke, eating pig's trotters happily.

"That's why I said we need to be restrained, eat some vegetarian food, and don't eat meat all the time." Lin Zhi licked his fingers and gave Lin An a wink, "Go get two potatoes and bake them."

"..." Lin An was speechless.

After the potatoes were brought, the two chatted while roasting the potatoes. The road from Qingshui Town to Linjiagou has almost been repaired, and the road in the village will be repaired in the spring of next year. Lin An asked Lin Zhiyin Is it enough.

"Don't worry about the money. The business of Hongfu Restaurant is doing well during this period of time. In the spring of next year, it will be enough money to build roads in the village." Lin Zhi had already taken out the money for road repairs, and everything else can be slowed down. Road construction cannot be delayed.

"Are you going to do other things next year?" Hearing this, the money is not enough, Lin An asked him, "Is the duck egg factory going to expand next year?"

"Sure."

When it comes to the duck egg factory, Lin Zhi is also both happy and worried. Since he started making salted duck eggs and preserved eggs, villages with a radius of dozens of miles have been sending eggs and duck eggs to Linjiagou. To be able to earn more money, many people are thinking about raising a large number of chickens and ducks next year.

But such a large-scale breeding will encounter a problem, that is, if there is a chicken plague, then a year's hard work will be in vain, and once the plague is triggered, in ancient times when medicine was underdeveloped, it is very likely that even people will suffer.

"But now there is a problem that if I expand the duck egg factory, people in the surrounding villages will raise a large number of duck eggs. I am afraid that something will go wrong." Lin Zhi can't afford that responsibility. Can't afford it.

"It's easy to handle. Let's make fixed-point purchases. We don't just accept whoever sends them. We can cooperate with the two villages on a fixed-point basis. If we don't meet the standards, we don't have to buy." Lin An also thinks this is true. Problem, but this kind of problem can be solved, "We are not a Bodhisattva, every village breeds, and there will be more breeds by then, what should we do if we don't have such a big demand?"

"People's appetites are slowly cultivated, we don't need to spoil them."

"What you said also makes sense." Lin Zhi thought about it and it was indeed such a thing, so he would do as you said.

After finding a solution to this matter, Lin Zhi started to worry about other things. During this period of time, he was desperately thinking about all kinds of food at home, except that he was bored and greedy, and the more important thing was the chili sauce in Hongfu Restaurant. And the hot pot base is gone.

In order to ensure the source of customers and business, we must continue to innovate.

"I don't know when the caravan going to the Western Regions will come back. It's been more than half a year, and there's no news yet." Lin Zhichou, ah, only hated that there were no airplanes and trains in ancient times.

"It should be soon, it's the twelfth lunar month, maybe I'll be back in a few days." Counting the time, Lin An felt that it was almost time to come back, and if he didn't come back, he would be in danger, "If it takes a few more days, If it snows, it will be bad if the snow blocks the mountains and roads.”
