Chapter 105 The Youngest Lin Asks for Money
After pressing the tofu for more than an hour, the stone slab completely pressed the tofu tightly, and the thickness of the tofu was pressed from four fingers wide to one finger wide. After Lin Xiazhi came over to look at it, he ordered Zhao Da to remove the stone slab, opened the gauze and poked the tofu twice , I feel more satisfied.
"You find someone to come over and cut these tofu into long strips that are two fingers wide and the size of your palm, and put them in the sun for a day. The less water in the tofu, the longer it can be stored. Press the tofu into this shape and let it dry for another day. It can be stored for about ten days."
Lin Xiazhi asked Zhao Da to make a batch of dried tofu and try it out. After the tofu produced stabilized, they would be wholesaled together with water tofu, and the price would increase to 25 ren per catty.
Three catties of watery tofu can only produce one catty of dried tofu. Lin Xiazhi set the price for dried tofu at 25 Wen per catty, which is about the same as water tofu.
Dried tofu can be stored for a longer period of time and can be transported over long distances. It is estimated that even merchants at the wharf will come to Linjia Village to sell dried tofu wholesale. With dried tofu, the Lin family’s tofu room may have to be expanded, but this is not the case. So anxious, wait until the fame of dried tofu goes out.
The problem of the tofu house was successfully resolved, and Lin Xiazhi no longer intervened in the matter of the tofu house, and continued to let Lin Chengzu handle it.
However, the village exploded because the Lin family didn't do business with those families. Almost all the comments were about those people who didn't know what to do. Of course, some people thought that the Lin family had gone too far.
Husbands who usually have a good relationship with the Lin family would always say these words when they came to visit, so all kinds of discussions in the village fell into Lin Xiazhi's ears verbatim.
Those who think that the Lin family has done too much basically did not buy tofu from the Lin family. After Lin Xiazhi found out, he temporarily blacklisted these families.
The word blacklist was originally proposed by Lin Xiazhi, which means that these people are not friendly to the Lin family.
The people on the blacklist of the Lin family, the brother-in-law of the family are all talkative, gossip about this family behind their backs all day long, and that family is not good, and they can't get anything good if they help them, so they simply broke up with them. A little farther away, when everyone in the village becomes rich and their family is still the same, those people will know how good they are. Unfortunately, not only the Lin family but also other wealthy families are not willing to associate with them at that time.
When Lin Xiazhi did these things, he discussed with Lin Chengzu, and Lin Chengzu didn't have any opinions on these decisions.
The spring plowing gradually came to an end. During this time, there was another joke at the main house of the Lin family.
Old man Lin was injured and had to rest in bed. He knew that his eldest son was lazy and would not take the initiative to work in the fields, so he called him to the bed and gave him a severe reprimand.
Uncle Lin proposed to rent out the land to collect rent or hire someone to help plant it. According to Lin Xiazhi, Uncle Lin's proposal was his reliable opinion.
As a result, not only old man Lin, but also youngest Lin disagreed. It is not worthwhile to rent out the house and only charge [-]% of the rent. The price of hiring people is not cheap, let Uncle Lin grow it himself!
Why don't they think that Uncle Lin is good at farming? Old man Lin calls Uncle Lin to him every day to scold him. Youngest Lin cries and makes jokes when he sees him. Even Liu Chunhua keeps whispering in Uncle Lin's ear. farming.
In the end, Uncle Lin had no choice but to carry a hoe and start farming.
When he started to go to the field, most of the spring plowing had already passed, and with Uncle Lin’s attitude of fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days, by the end of the spring plowing, he hadn’t even plowed two acres of land, let alone the remaining Eight acres.
Uncle Lin was impatient to work hard in the field every day, thinking that it was farming anyway, so he just dug a few holes and planted the seeds whole.
With his laziness, ten acres of land were fully planted in two days.
Old man Lin sent Youngest Lin to check and found that everything had been planted. Youngest Lin even praised Uncle Lin, saying that Uncle Lin was smart and could do whatever he wanted.
That is to say, the old man Lin and the youngest Lin didn't communicate much with the villagers. When other people saw how Uncle Lin was farming the land, they laughed at their family behind their backs. Let's see what Uncle Lin can do with the Lin family's land.
Logically speaking, old man Lin is not confused, why is he so unclear about housework?If you don't understand the situation of the Lin family, everyone will take it as a joke.
The main house has ten acres of paddy fields. In the past, Lin Huzi and Lin Chengzu had to start from spring plowing and work until the end of spring plowing to plant the ten acres of rice. Uncle Lin took less than half of the time alone. Maybe the fields will be planted?
What happened in the main house had nothing to do with the Lin family, but when Lin Xiazhi heard people say that the life there was a mess, he couldn't help but feel a little bit schadenfreude.
When she thought that March would be able to pass in peace like this, the youngest Lin came to her door quietly.Lin Xiazhi could only be speechless about this, it was like a wave of ups and downs, the youngest Lin really didn't remember to eat but not to fight.
The youngest Lin picked a time when Lin Chengzu and Lin Xiazhi were not at home and went to Lin's house. When she saw Li Xiu, she cried and complained that life at home was difficult and that she was short of money.
The clothes on youngest Lin's body are still the thick cotton spring clothes that Li Xiu made last time. Old youngest Lin was reprimanded by old man Lin because of this spring clothes, because old man Lin still thinks that the second room should come to the main house. He knelt down and begged old man Lin to forgive him, but in fact Lin Huzi was pulled by Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzu, so it was impossible for him to pass.
So it became an endless loop. Apart from collecting the old-age pension, old man Lin didn't want to see the Lin family at all.
Li Xiu saw Youngest Lin crying pitifully, and wondered if Uncle Lin and the others were too prodigal, and the main house really had no money, so she asked Youngest Lin what was going on?
The youngest Lin avoided Li Xiu's question, seeing that his attitude was a little loose, she kept asking him for money, and the amount was quite a lot, unexpectedly asking for 500 taels.
Mrs. Qian happened to be serving tea at this time, and she was startled when she heard that Youngest Lin asked for 500 taels, so she hurriedly persuaded her: "Fu Lang, 500 taels is not a small amount, you have to think about it carefully."
Qian knows that Li Xiu is a soft-hearted person. Li Xiu has saved a lot of money doing embroidery work on a daily basis, and the children are filial. The private house in his hand is more than 100 taels, let's not let the youngest Lin be deceived. He went, otherwise he would still have the face to see the two young masters when they came back.
In fact, Qian's worries are superfluous. Li Xiu is just soft-hearted and not stupid. He doesn't like the main house either. If old man Lin and the others really can't live on, should Lin Huzi be filial to his father as a son? Just give some pension money.
However, the youngest Lin asked for 500 taels, even if Li Xiu's brain was caught in the door, she would not agree to him.
The youngest Lin opened his mouth, and Li Xiu's attitude naturally changed. Just as Mrs. Qian came to say this, the youngest Lin believed that it was because of Mrs. Qian's talkativeness that he could not get the money, and she hated Mrs. Qian in her heart.
Before the Chinese New Year, everyone thought that the Zhao family was from Jufulou and respected them, but after so many days, people in the Lin family village gradually realized that the Zhao family should be servants bought by the Lin family.
The youngest Lin has heard about this, and thinking of Qian's domineering in front of her before, she suddenly became angry: "What are you, my son-in-law and I can talk, a Even a servant dares to talk too much, believe it or not, I will let my son sell you out?"
Qian was a little surprised when he heard this, and he didn't know who gave him the face to dare to say this in the Lin family.
"Oh? Who is the youngest going to sell?" When Lin Xiazhi entered the room, he heard the youngest Lin talking about selling, and his face darkened.
The youngest Lin panicked, why did Lin Xiazhi come back so soon?Obviously, they go to the county for a long time every time, at least half an hour.
Lin Xiazhi came back temporarily when he realized that he had forgotten to bring something, but he didn't expect to hear the youngest Lin coming to the house as soon as he came back to do his best.
"The second young master came back just in time. Just now, the old man said that he wanted to borrow 500 taels of silver from the old man, but the servant said something redundant, and the old man will let the master sell me." Qian obviously knows Lin Xiazhi's attitude towards the main house. , and complained in front of Youngest Lin.
After many times of lessons, the youngest Lin finally knew that it was not good to confront Lin Xiazhi. This brother Xia was very hateful, and every time he would make trouble with the old man, he would definitely have no good fruit to eat.
"Youngest, someone's money didn't come from a strong wind, and our family couldn't get 500 taels." Lin Xiazhi said with a cold face, "Ah, go and count the [-] taels."
"Youngest, you can take the five hundred cash back and buy some meat for grandpa to replenish your body. If you still think it's not enough, then I'll bring daddy to the door and send the money to grandpa in person." Lin Xiazhi emphasized the door-to-door Two words.
Delivery to your door!It's door-to-door again!The clothes delivered last time almost didn't make old man Lin even more angry. He threatened that if he went to the Lin's house again, he would divorce him. Not daring to make a fuss anymore: "Huh! Five hundred Wen is only five hundred Wen, the more money you have, the more you will be deducted."
When the youngest Lin left, Lin Xiazhi gave Qian Shi another half a tael of silver, saying that he did a good job today.
Qian Shi smiled happily while holding the bounty, and said that it should be done.
Lin Xiazhi didn't go out at all in the morning, just stayed at home with Li Xiu, and reasoned with him, the more you talk to him like the youngest Lin, the more he will feel that he is the same thing, and it's okay to be around all day long look for a job.
It is impossible for the main house to be short of money. Even if the harvest was not good last year, and the money saved before, as long as they don't squander it, it will definitely be enough to live a good life for a few years.
What Lin Xiazhi said was indeed correct. Although Uncle Lin and Dabao spent money lavishly, and repaid Lin Dabao's gambling debts a few days ago, the remaining savings in the main house were still more than 400 taels. Land property, even if you don't do anything, save a few years and save a few years, ten years is enough.
Lin Xiazhi only thought that the youngest Lin came to the Lin family to enjoy the autumn wind when he had nothing to do, and didn't think about other places. Later, he learned from Lizheng that the main house had sold the land, so he felt something was wrong, and asked Lin Chengzu to inquire more. trend.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. In case something happens to the main house, the Lin family must be prepared in advance.
