A good husband and fortune

In the matter of coming to the town to buy someone, Shen Yanchuan and the others have entrusted the clerks of the yamen to help a lot, and out of reason, they are going to invite someone to dinner today.

Lin Zhi also reserved a seat at Hongfu Restaurant in advance, but this time Lin Zhi didn't want to be with him. After leaving the dental shop under the control of the government, Lin Zhi's mood has not been right.

Those slaves who had already been sold by them could have been taken away on the spot, but the official slave Yazi sold them a favor, saying that they would arrange for them to be sent to Linjiagou in the afternoon, and promised not to leave. There will be a little slip up.

"I'm going to Hongfu Restaurant at noon, so I won't go with me." Lin Zhi was so blocked that he couldn't eat at all, and he didn't have the energy to talk right now.

Shen Yanchuan knew what Lin Zhi was thinking, he raised his hand and squeezed Lin Zhi's shoulder to comfort him: "I know what you are thinking in your heart, but the current world is like this, neither you nor I can change it."

"I know." Lin Zhi knew, it was because he clearly knew the feeling of powerlessness in his heart that he tortured people like this.

"You've done a good job." Shen Yanchuan understood that the reason why Lin Zhi wanted to buy those twenty lowly slaves today was because he couldn't bear it, but there are countless people like this in this world, and it cannot be reversed by one person alone. .

"I want to work hard to make money. Once I have money, I will be able to do more things. Maybe I will change this bad world." There is no way.

As a modern person, if he wants to reverse and counterbalance the entire feudal society, it is like a mayfly shaking a tree and a praying man blocking a car, so he must make money.

"That's right, so don't think about it. It's fine if you don't want to go to eat at noon. I don't think you want to stay in this town anymore. Let the staff of Hongfu Restaurant drive you back in a carriage." Seeing Lin Zhi's expression He wasn't so frustrated anymore, and Shen Yanchuan felt relieved. He didn't force Lin Zhi to go to dinner with him, and knowing Lin Zhi's character, he proposed to let Lin Zhi go back first, "As for the progress of your plans, I will ask Shopkeeper Sun. I guess Shopkeeper Sun's friends will be here soon."

"No, I'll accompany you." Lin Zhi didn't want to go back first, he just wanted to stay with Shen Yanchuan right now, "You guys eat yours at lunch, I'll go to the private room on the third floor to rest for a while, and we'll go back together. "

"That's fine, lest you go back alone and I won't feel at ease."

At noon in Hongfu Restaurant, all the dishes in the private room were personally arranged by shopkeeper Sun, several jugs of good wine were served, Shen Yanchuan didn't waste a bit of effort, these people were taken care of thoughtfully and properly.

After eating and sending those yamen servants away, Lin Zhi chatted with shopkeeper Sun for a few words, asked about the progress, and then drove the carriage back.

Along the way, Shen Yanchuan was not in a hurry, and the carriage drove slowly. Due to the long days and short nights in summer, when the two arrived home, it was very bright, and the sun was still scorching, making their mouths dry.

As soon as he got home, Lin Zhi went into the study, picked up the crayfish he had written a quarter of, and continued writing.

He has already written 26 recipes about crayfish, eleven of which require chili peppers, and only seven recipes for lotus root. Lin Zhi sat at the desk racking his brains for other recipes.

People say that reading is a book that you hate when you use it. He Lin knows that he hates himself when he needs to write a recipe. Why is he not a foodie? Why didn’t he pay attention to food before? No matter how it tastes, his cookbook is half full now.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Lin Zhi shook his head while grabbing the brush, and screamed, "What else can I do!"

"Go into the study as soon as you come back, lose your temper as soon as you come in, you're not afraid of getting angry in this hot weather." Shen Yanchuan came in with a watermelon, seeing Lin Zhi's distressed expression, he went over and took the brush from Lin Zhi's hand Come over, "The ink is all over your face, others are your age, why are you still acting like a child."

"Others are others and I am me." Lin Zhi knew that there was ink on his face, but he didn't wipe it off, but raised his face and waited for Shen Yanchuan to wipe it off for him.

Seeing his virtue, Shen Yanchuan shook his head with a smile and turned to fetch water to wipe Lin Zhi's face.When he came over with the water basin, Lin Zhi had already eaten the watermelon chilled with well water.

"You are not afraid of eating ink into your stomach."

"It's good if you eat it." Lin Zhi disagrees, not to mention that you don't get sick if you eat it, even if you really eat it, "If I really eat it, I can brag about it in the future , I'm a person with ink in my belly."

"You are the one who speaks eloquently every day, I can't beat you." Shen Yanchuan felt that he couldn't beat Lin Zhi, so he wrung out his handkerchief and went to wipe Lin Zhi's face, "Lift your head."

"You can't beat me, I can speak well, I'm smart, of course you can't beat me." Lin Zhi wrinkled his nose and said, his words were full of disgust, but his eyes were full of affection, obviously arrogant Jiao.

"Yes, yes, my husband is very smart." Shen Yanchuan coaxed Lin Zhi to wipe his face like a child, and when he wiped his mouth, Shen Yanchuan paused and put away the towel, "Okay, it's clean gone."

"Ah."

After wiping Lin Zhi's face clean, Shen Yanchuan put the handkerchief basin aside, sat down beside Lin Zhi, and accompanied Lin Zhi to think about the recipes.

With someone on the side, Lin Zhi was no longer so impatient, and finally calmed down, thinking seriously. In fact, food is not limited to a certain kind of food, but the problem now is a lot of modern spices. Lin Zhi’s Qingshui Town It was not found.

He wrote down all the names of the spices he could think of, including what they looked like and what they tasted like, and recorded them in detail for shopkeeper Sun to send someone to look for them, but so far there has been no progress.

"Oh, it's so annoying." Lin Zhi leaned on Shen Yanchuan's body, resting his head on Shen Yanchuan's shoulder, really couldn't figure it out.

"There's no need to push yourself so much. You already want to talk a lot, why don't I take you to catch some crayfish and try with your new recipe, maybe it can inspire you new ideas." They are now making crayfish very Yes, it is convenient not to run to the river, afraid of being seen, there are plenty of them in my pond.

"That's fine." Lin Zhi felt that it was not a problem to be bored in the study all the time and couldn't think of anything, he might as well listen to Shen Yanchuan, maybe there might be a different turning point.

"The weather is still hot at the moment, I'll go to the pond to put a cage, you stay at home." Said that Shen Yanchuan was about to get up to go out, Lin Zhi wanted to follow along.

"I will go with you."

"No need, just sit and eat watermelon." Shen Yanchuan didn't let Lin Zhi go with him, for fear that he would be overheated.

"Ok."

Lin Zhi was really afraid of the heat, so he didn't force Shen Yanchuan to let him go.Shen Yanchuan went to the pond to catch crayfish. Mr. Li probably chatted with other old men in the village. Lin Zhi was the only one in the huge mansion, and no one could respond to his words.

"Boring, I'll go to Lin An and ask him to be my food tester at night." Lin Zhi put on his straw hat and went out.

The sun is about to set now, the weather is not so hot, and the wind blowing is not as hot as at noon. It may be because there is a river in Linjiagou. At this moment, a gust of wind is blowing, and it is actually a bit cool.

Lin Zhi walks slowly. He is very contradictory and has a quick temper, but he does things slowly. He also walks unsteadily and leisurely. Unless he is impatient, he should walk slowly.

August is the season for harvesting cotton and corn. Not many people grow corn in Linjiagou. Trouble, in order to save trouble, we simply plant cotton, and when the tax is paid at the end of the year, we directly exchange cotton for wheat and rice.

The extra cotton can be spun by itself. People of all ages are afraid of heat. During the hot summer season, the hot weather will last until the moment of Shenshi. In order to prevent heatstroke, the villagers also wait for the temperature to drop a little before going out to work. live.

Along the way, Lin Shi saw many people wearing turbans and carrying bamboo baskets picking cotton, among them was Aunt Li's family.

Aunt Li’s family has fertile land in the village far away from the river. Every time Linjiagou divides land, it relies on lottery. If you are unlucky, you have to find a way to catch the ones that are far away from the river. In exchange for land, their only two acres of good paddy land was exchanged with Lizheng's family.

Speaking of which, the fertile land of Lin Zhi's family is also far away from the river, but Lin Zhi doesn't use it to grow rice, so he doesn't find it troublesome.

Working today, Aunt Li's children also worked together. The children on a hot day were so hot that their faces were so red.

"Little Zhi, what are you doing here?"

"Go and play with Lin An." Lin Zhi stopped to talk to Aunt Li, seeing Aunt Li and her man sweating profusely, Lin Zhi felt very uncomfortable.

When he came to this world, Aunt Li was the first person who cared for him with kindness. Both his and Shen Yanchuan's wedding dresses were made by Aunt Li.

"You have had a good relationship with Xiaoan since you were a child, and now that Xiaoan is back, it is rare that the relationship between you two is still the same as before." Aunt Li wiped the sweat from her brow and said to her children beside her, "Why don't you know brother Xiaozhi? Say hello?"

"Hi brother Xiaozhi."

When the three children heard Aunt Li's words, they all said hello to Lin Zhi.

The more Lin Zhi looked at it, the less it was a matter in his heart. He couldn't care about others, but for those who had helped him, he really couldn't bear to see them live in such a poor life.

"I know how to help my parents with work at such a young age. You are awesome. Come to my brother's house at night, and my brother will cook something delicious for you, okay?"

"No, no." Hearing that Aunt Li's man finally spoke, the honest and honest man smiled and shook his head, "They are all like monkeys, they will make trouble when they go."

"Yeah, they are very annoying one by one, Xiao Zhi, go and play with Xiao An."

Aunt Li and her man are not the kind of people who would curry favor with others. They didn't try to curry favor with Lin Zhi just because Lin Zhi was rich now.
