The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 143 Stealing Tofu

The youngest Lin's attitude made Lin Huzi feel a little uncomfortable. He thought about going to see old man Lin, so he pulled himself together and led Lin Chengzong in with a smile.

The main room of the Lin family was dimly lit, and old man Lin was sitting sickly on the stool in the main room. Since the last time he vomited blood, his complexion had been bad, and he couldn't do anything vigorously.

Old man Lin heard the conversation between Lin Huzi and the youngest Lin outside just now, but he didn't know how he should treat his second son, so he didn't get up at all.

After Lin Huzi and the others went in, old man Lin still couldn't see his expression clearly while sitting in his seat.

Seeing old man Lin, Lin Huzi rushed in excitedly: "Father, Zong'er passed the exam and gave birth to Tong! Zong'er passed the exam and gave birth to Tong!"

Compared to Lin Huzi's excitement, Lin Chengzong looked very calm, and only saluted Old Man Lin: "Grandpa."

Old man Lin looked at Lin Chengzong like this, and he was still a little happy when someone poured cold water on him in an instant, and he forgot to respond to the two of them for a while.

Lin Chengzong said lightly: "Grandpa, I just passed the exam, so it's inconvenient not to publicize it in the village. I will go to see Mrs. Wei with Dad later. Is there anything else you want to order?"

Lin Chengzong has long been used to this kind of scene. Old man Lin has always treated their second wife like this. No matter how well they do, it is impossible to get good looks from old man Lin and youngest Lin.

Lin Huzi was confused by old man Lin's attitude, and stood aside, not knowing what to say or what to do.

"Grandpa, if it's okay, Dad and I will go back first." Lin Chengzong continued.

"Oh, then you guys go." Old man Lin lowered his head and spoke flatly, unable to see his expression clearly.

Lin Huzi's mood at the moment is only known to him. He is also a middle school student. Why is there such a big difference in attitude?

The father and son "two" came excitedly and left dejectedly. The other villagers patted him on the shoulder without saying anything. From the eyes of everyone, it can be seen that they were silently comforting him.

When Lin Huzi returned to the Lin family, the family didn't ask him what happened at the main house of the Lin family and what everyone should do.

"Father, Zong'er is here for dinner. You have to go to Weijia Village after dinner. Don't keep Mrs. Wei waiting." Lin Xiazhi came over to see him like this, frowned and didn't speak.

Lin Huzi still has nostalgia for the main house. Only when he encounters more difficulties can his memory grow. If he doesn't have a long memory, they will help him.

In the afternoon, Lin Huzi and Lin Chengzong went to Weijia Village, and Lin Chengzu and Lin Xiazhi were invited to the tofu house by the people from the tofu house.

There were a few boards of tofu made at some unknown time that were put in a corner and forgotten to be sold. After a period of time, they became moldy. Go check it out.

These plates of tofu are covered with hairs and have a strange smell.

As soon as the board covering the tofu was removed, you could smell the smell, and everyone in the room ran out.

"How long has it been stored? It smells so bad!" Lin Chengzu frowned. This is a place where they cook and eat. Xia Geer said that they should keep it clean at all times, and they cannot let guests eat the tofu at home to cause health problems. This kind of moldy hair Smelly tofu should never be kept in the tofu room.

"We don't know. This room is usually used to pile up sundries. How could there be several boards of tofu here? It's worth hundreds of coins!" It should be.

Zhao Da was so angry that Lin Xiazhi secretly observed the expressions of other people.

When everyone was angry and puzzled, there was a servant with a dodgy expression, keeping his head down behind the crowd, and occasionally looked up.

Zhao Da has always been careful in doing things, and there will be no such big mistakes. In this way, the tofu here was deliberately let go.

"Throw away these tofu, and the money lost by the tofu will be deducted from everyone's monthly money. I hope that such a thing will not happen again in the future." Lin Chengzu thought for a while, "Let's arrange it like this for now, Mr. Zhao, before you check carefully The record of selling tofu and the record of making tofu, see which day the amount of tofu is wrong, and then make a plan.”

Lin Xiazhi secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the dodging servant, and stopped Lin Chengzu: "Brother, wait a minute! Things are not that simple."

"Brother Xia?" Lin Chengzu was puzzled.

Lin Xiazhi was so angry that he wanted to poke Lin Chengzu's head: "Since there are sundries piled up here, it is impossible for the finished tofu to be brought over, and look at the tofu, the shape is scattered, and it seems that it is not a whole board. , it was obviously moved bit by bit by someone.”

When Lin Xiazhi said this, Lin Chengzu and Zhao Dayi thought it was true, and went into the utility room to take a look. They thought it was too stinky and didn't look carefully, so Lin Xiazhi observed it carefully.

Zhao Da didn't say anything, and immediately knelt down: "Eldest young master, second young master, it's Zhao Da who is not good at doing things, please punish me, young master."

The rest of the servants of the tofu house also knelt down, seeing the corners of Lin Xiazhi's mouth twitching. These people still knelt at every turn, but this time Lin Xiazhi didn't say anything. This was the first time that the tofu house had an internal problem. , We must not condone and raise rape.

"Think about it carefully, whoever has a problem will be rewarded for finding the instigator." Lin Xiazhi didn't intend to directly point out the person he suspected, and could take this opportunity to screen the characters of these servants again.

When Lin Xiazhi raised a question, everyone could always find clues when they recalled it.

"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, I think about it..." A man who looked honest said immediately.

"Wait a minute, come with me." Lin Xiazhi motioned him not to say here, "Look at them, Mr. Zhao, don't let them wink at each other and cover each other up. If anyone remembers something, let him go over there to find us. Tell us alone."

"Yes, Second Young Master." Zhao Da immediately nodded, he didn't dare to make any mistakes after such a big incident.

After the servant followed Lin Xiazhi to the next room, he continued to kneel and said, "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, Lin Xiaotable used to say that the tofu cannot be sold if it is crushed, so take the tofu out and put it aside."

"What did he do after he put the tofu aside?" Lin Xiazhi continued to ask.

"Back to the second young master, he said at the time that when pressing the next board of tofu, he put the crushed tofu in and pressed it again. At that time, the villain did see him put the crushed tofu into the next board of tofu. Make sure if he stole the tofu."

"How did he start doing it, how many times do you know?"

"About two months ago, I saw it four times." The man recalled it before saying.

"Okay, I see, you go back." Lin Xiazhi wrote down what the servant said on a piece of paper.

After him, people came to talk about the problem one after another, some accused Lin Xiaozhuo, and some criticized other people. Some of the words were justified, and some were pure nonsense.

"Brother, do you see the problem?" Lin Xiazhi gave Lin Chengzu what he had recorded.

Lin Chengzu looked ashamed, looking at these things recorded by Lin Xiazhi, why couldn't he find the problem: "Did Lin Xiaozhuo steal the tofu?"

"No, the person who stole the tofu is someone else." Lin Xiazhi shook his head, "Brother, think about it carefully." Lin Xiazhi gave Lin Chengzu all the contents he recorded, and let him read it for himself.

Lin Chengzu carefully read the things recorded by Lin Xiazhi twice, and finally understood what Lin Xiazhi said: "I see, the person who really took the tofu is Lin Xiaodeng!"

Lin Xiaodeng was the first servant who came forward to say that there was something wrong with Lin Xiaozhuo. He was very smart, and he was the first to speak out about Lin Xiaozhuo to remove the suspicion.

But Lin Xiaobeng didn't know that Lin Xiazhi had the perspective of God, so he had already noticed that something was wrong with him.

Lin Xiaozhuo did find that the tofu was crushed, and took out the tofu, but he put the tofu back every time. After Lin Xiaodeng discovered this, he used this method to hide the tofu.

Lin Xiazhi guessed that Lin Xiaodeng wanted to sell it secretly, but the tofu was not sold in the end, and he didn't find the time and opportunity to throw away the spoiled tofu, and it stinks within a few days.

After finding out the house thief, he didn't care what to do with Lin Xiazhi. He left the matter to Lin Chengzu, and took his people to study the pieces of spoiled tofu.

Lin Xiaodeng mastered the Lin family's tofu-making technology, and Lin Chengzu used the method he learned from Cheng Wenliu to deal with him, so that he would not dare to disagree.

As for those servants who lied during the separate interrogation, they were all fined with three months of moon silver, and those who did not lie were rewarded with one month of moon silver.

What comforted Lin Chengzu was that there were only two people who were fined with moon silver, and eight people were rewarded with moon silver. If all the servants bought by the Lin family had problems, Lin Chengzu couldn't help but wonder if it was his own way of managing the servants. There is a problem.

"Second young master, these tofu are so stinky, don't you want to throw them away?" The servant following Lin Xiazhi on the other side was Lin Xiaozhuo.

Lin Xiaozhuo doesn't know what the second young master wants to do now, his sense of smell is almost smothered by tofu.

During this incident of stealing tofu, Lin Xiazhi discovered some servants who were loyal to the Lin family, such as Lin Xiaozhuo, who was clever, and if the tofu was crushed, he knew how to repress the broken tofu, so Lin Xiazhi planned to promote them one time.

"I want to make a new thing, and I will let you be responsible when it is done." Lin Xiazhi said with a smile.

"Really!" Lin Xiaozhuo was so happy that he almost jumped up, "Thank you, Second Young Master, for your appreciation."

Inspired by the stinky tofu, Lin Xiazhi planned to use tofu to make fermented bean curd. Fermented bean curd can be stored for a long time after it is made. It tastes good with rice and stir-fries, and it can become a new item for the Lin family.

In fact, he also thought about making stinky tofu, but the taste of stinky tofu is not something everyone can challenge, so he finally gave up this wonderful idea and made fermented bean curd first.

Now the Lin family has four tofu houses. The extra tofu is produced first to make a batch of fermented bean curd and sell it to test the water. After spring, a tofu house will be built to make fermented bean curd.

This month, six acres of sweet potatoes were harvested, yielding [-] catties per mu, and a total of [-] catties were harvested. The harvested sweet potatoes and potatoes filled the open space at the Lin family's tofu house.

Lin Xiazhi thought that sweet potatoes can be used to make vermicelli and jelly. Besides supplying Jufulou, there are still a lot of potatoes reserved for planting next spring. Can he put potato flour on the agenda.
