The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 128

"Don't worry, I'm actually not that hungry. I usually have breakfast after a while." Li Xiu said in a low voice.

"Can it be the same as it is now? You are two people now, you are not hungry, my brother may be hungry, and the kitchen will be on fire for a long time in the future, if you want to eat, tell them to cook immediately." Lin Xiazhi said.

He thought in his heart that once Li Xiu was pregnant, he felt that the family was not enough to handle him anymore, so he should not buy a brother to serve Li Xiu specially.

If Li Xiu knew Lin Xiazhi's intentions, he would probably stop him. In the past, he went up and down the mountain with his body in his arms, and he couldn't do any work, so it wasn't that expensive.

At this time, Lin Chengzu and his wife just got up, Lin Chengzu brought Yang Yusheng over to greet Li Xiu, and was surprised when he heard what they said: "Ah, are you pregnant?"

"Brother, you heard me right, we are going to have a younger brother again." Lin Xiazhi answered for Li Xiu.

"Congratulations, this is really a happy event." Yang Yusheng stepped forward and sat beside Li Xiu's bed.

This era pays attention to the prosperity of children and grandchildren. He just got married when Li Xiu was diagnosed as pregnant. It was indeed a good thing. Yang Yusheng touched his belly unobtrusively, wondering if there were any children inside.

Lin Chengzu's eyes darkened when he saw Yang Yusheng's small movements.

The Lin family was overjoyed because of Li Xiu's pregnancy, but Lin Huzi followed the official sent to the county government anxiously.

As soon as Lin Huzi entered the county office and was taken to meet the county magistrate, he didn't dare to lift his head, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Don't be nervous, Lin family." The county magistrate kindly pulled Lin Huzi up and asked him to sit aside, "I heard that you planted two rounds of rice a year in the village?"

In the past, the county magistrate only knew about the Lin family's potatoes through the Cheng family, and when they sent people to investigate the Lin family village, they only asked about the potatoes.

If the county magistrate asked Lin Huzi about other things, Lin Huzi might not know how to answer, but as soon as he returned to farming, he seemed to have found confidence, which was cultivated by Lin Xiazhi subtly.

Lin Huzi sat on the seat and said respectfully: "Returning to the adults, the villains are indeed planting rice that is grown twice a year."

"Two crops a year?" The county magistrate was a little puzzled, "Does this mean that they can mature twice a year?"

The phrase "cook twice a year" was proposed by Lin Xiazhi, and Lin Huzi got used to saying "cook twice a year" after listening to him talk a lot.

"My lord, that's exactly what I mean." After reading some books, Lin Huzi could barely utter a few polite words.

"Then tell me about this rice in detail first."

Lin Xiazhi had predicted that her rice would attract the attention of the government, and told Lin Huzi a few things, such as how to deal with these people from the government.

Seriously speaking, Lin Xiazhi must be the one who suggested that rice should be harvested twice a year, but he is just a young boy, and he can't stand out at such a time, so all the credit for the rice should be attributed to Lin Huzi.

Although Lin Huzi's mind was not spinning fast, he could do better what he was ordered to do. Talking about farming is his old profession, he really didn't expose Lin Xiazhi.

There are two big rivers in Jingguo and many paddy fields. If every area can grow rice twice a year, the achievement will be no less than potatoes.

This was brought up by the sheriff, and now the sheriff is listening to the two of them talking behind the screen.

Hearing that Lin Huzi was even imagining the three crops of rice a year, the county magistrate and sheriff were startled and listened more seriously.

Because he was facing the people in the yamen, a person like Lin Huzi with a civilian mentality was born with a sense of fear of the government, and he almost said everything he knew without saying a word.

The clerk next to the sheriff wrote almost with cramp in his hands, and the words on the paper were flying and dancing, and only he could understand them.

After staying in the county government for an hour, the county magistrate smiled and asked Lin Huzi to be sent back to Linjiacun.

After Lin Huzi left, the county magistrate and the sheriff wrote a note overnight and sent it to the capital in a hurry.

On the way back to Linjiacun, the officials' attitude towards Lin Huzi was much more polite, but Lin Huzi was dizzy all the way because of the common people's feeling of seeing a high-ranking official, and he didn't pay attention to the attitude of the officials towards him. The change.

As Lin Huzi was walking on the road, he could not have imagined that there was even greater good news waiting for him at home.

By the time Lin Huzi got home, it was already late, and his mood had gradually calmed down. His stomach made a series of noises, and he was already hungry without breakfast: "Xiaoqiu, do you have anything else to eat at home?"

"Master, wait a minute, can I make you some egg noodles?" Because Li Xiu wanted to eat egg noodles this morning, she kneaded a large ball of noodles at home and put them away, so she can eat them whenever she wants.

"Okay, make me a portion." Lin Huzi has never been picky about food, and he will eat whatever he gives.

"Master, you go back to the house to see Fu Lang." Xiao Qiu said this without thinking when leaving.

Lin Huzi originally planned to go to Li Xiu and tell him about his meeting with the county magistrate today. Although he didn't understand why Lin Xiaoqiu deliberately mentioned it, he didn't notice that Li Xiu wasn't embroidering in the main room today, but he I have always been used to carelessness, so I didn't care about those, and went back to the house with a smile.

"Brother Xiu, are you feeling unwell today? Why are you lying on the bed?" Lin Huzi entered the room and saw Li Xiu lay resting, walked quickly over to touch Li Xiu's forehead, and forgot about the county magistrate talking to him. in the back of the head.

Li Xiu shook her head with a smile, and moved Lin Huzi's hand to his belly.

Lin Hu only felt Li Xiu's belly bulge a little, didn't understand what he meant, and took it away after touching it twice: "It's okay, it's just gaining weight, I also feel that I have gained weight."

Li Xiu couldn't hold back a snort, and laughed.

"Father, you are eating so much every day, how can you only grow meat but not brains." Lin Xiazhi just brought in the medicine for Li Xiu.

"You have to drink medicine, you are really sick." Lin Huzi widened his eyes, and took the medicine bowl from Lin Xiazhi's hand.

It's no big deal for Lin Huzi, a husband-in-law, to wait on Fu Lang who is sick. Lin Xiazhi directly put the bowl in his hand: "Ah, it's true that I'm not sick, but I have to take care of my dad recently."

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Lin Huzi became more and more confused. He tested the temperature of the medicine bowl with his hands, and then scooped up a spoonful of medicine and fed it to Li Xiu.

"Bring me the bowl and drink it straight away. It's too bitter to drink one mouthful at a time." Li Xiu took the bowl and drank the medicine in two gulps, and rinsed her mouth with warm water on the bedside.

"Brother Huzi, I'm pregnant." Seeing that Lin Huzi really couldn't guess, Li Xiu had no choice but to tell the story herself.

Lin Huzi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up, looking left and right, not knowing what he was looking for, picked up the glass of water on the table and poured it on his head.

Li Xiu and Lin Xiazhi were taken aback by this action, are you stupid?

Lin Huzi was indeed stupid, and said happily, "Hahahaha..."

"Although it's not winter yet, it's not okay to wear wet clothes like that." Li Xiu said helplessly.

"Brother Xiu is fine, I'm just happy, so happy." Before Li Xiu could say anything else, Lin Huzi went out again by himself, "I went to work in the field, and I need more people to eat at home, so I can get a variety of food. Some crops."

After Lin Huzi left, Li Xiu and Lin Xiazhi looked at each other and said, "Ah, I'll take away the bowl first. I have more mouths to eat at home. I'll think of ways to make some money."

"..." The child was still in his belly, why would there be one more person and one more mouth.

He was the only one left in the room, Li Xiu touched her belly tenderly: "Look at how lucky you are now, the family conditions are so good, before you were born, your father and elder brother were thinking about earning more money, When you come out in the future, you must be filial to father and brothers."

It's a pity that now Li Xiu's stomach is just a lump of embryos, so she is destined to be unable to communicate with him.

Lin Huzi ran out and inspected his field enthusiastically, and forgot to eat the rice. Lin Xiaoqiu couldn't find anyone after serving the noodles, so he went to the master bedroom and asked Li Xiu, so he had to put the noodles back in the kitchen.

What Lin Xiazhi just said was also serious. When he went back to his room, he thought about what could make money. He had a lot of things in his mind, but he couldn’t take them all out at once, and he couldn’t be too eye-catching. When he was thinking hard, he suddenly thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival would be celebrated soon. , last year he thought about making moon cakes, but the conditions did not allow it at the time, this year the time is finally ripe.

To make ordinary mooncakes is to change the fillings, without changing the soup, which is not attractive enough. Lin Xiazhi is going to make the ice-skin mooncakes that were popular for a while in her previous life.

The skin of ice skin mooncakes is different from ordinary mooncakes. You can vaguely see the color of the fillings inside. One bite is soft and glutinous. The sweet fillings will definitely be welcomed by the husbands and brothers of dignitaries and noble families. , put it on consignment in Jufulou, the sales will definitely not be bad.

Now that I have made up my mind to make snowy mooncakes, there are still six days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although the time is a bit rushed, as long as I act quickly, there is still time.

Lin Xiazhi used a charcoal pen to determine the materials to be purchased on straw paper, and asked Zhao Dong to take another servant to the county town to purchase.

Lin Xiazhi is going to make skins in three colors: white, pink, and blue. The fillings are divided into sweet-scented osmanthus fillings, red bean paste fillings, and black sesame fillings.

Zhao Dong was quick to do things, and bought back what Lin Xiazhi wanted before dinner in the morning.

The advantage of having a large family is that he doesn't have to do it himself, and he can do things quickly.

Because the recipe given by Lin Xiazhi was more detailed, Qian Shi and Lin Xiaoqiu started to make it according to Lin Xiazhi's steps.

Sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing is mixed with wax gourd and this year’s new honey osmanthus; bean paste stuffing is made by soaking red beans first and then ground into a slurry, then put in the oil pan and add sugar to fry the sand; black sesame stuffing is directly ground black sesame into powder, adding Cooked glutinous rice flour and white sugar, fry in a pan until done.

In addition to preparing the stuffing, there are also mooncake skins. Qian Shi and Lin Xiaoqiu found a few people from the tofu shop to help them. They were busy from the afternoon until the evening, and the first batch of snowy mooncakes was finally ready. The white ones were filled with red bean paste. The pink one is sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing, and the blue one is black sesame stuffing.

The number is not large, only [-] were successful, because some materials were wasted due to lack of proficiency, and it will not be easy to make mistakes if they are asked to do it tomorrow.
