The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 158

After lunch at Cheng's house, Cheng Fulang kept Lin Xiazhi talking for a while, and gave him some things that a pregnant woman could use before letting Lin Xiazhi leave.

Because Lin Xiazhi sent someone back in the morning to say that he was going to Cheng's house today, and there was no need to rush back after dinner, so Cheng Wenliu dragged him to the pier in the county seat.

After the weather warmed up, the pier gradually became lively, and after a year, there were many new gadgets on the pier. The two walked around happily, and Lin Xiazhi spent money to buy things for his family.

Cheng Wenliu will not help Lin Xiazhi to pay for things now, and he still has a bad reputation. Only when he occasionally buys gifts for Lin Xiazhi, Lin Xiazhi will accept the gifts if they are not very expensive.

Maybe when Lin Xiazhi completely accepted Cheng Wenliu, he would correct his awkward mentality.

After strolling around the pier, Lin Xiazhi made a last trip to Piaoxiang Shili.

Piaoxiang Shili is already a well-known snack bar, and some people in the neighboring county who like it will even take a car just to come here for a meal.

Years ago, the shop next door to Piaoxiang Shili stopped doing business. He quickly sold the shop next door and expanded Piaoxiang Shili from one store to two stores. The shop was too busy, so he bought two more servants. Come back and help.

When Lin Xiazhi passed by, it was about the same time as Shen Shizhong. It was not time for dinner, and it was a long time before lunch. It happened to be time for some snacks to fill my stomach. The store was full of people, and there were also takeaway Also lined up.

Lin Xiazhi saw that they were so busy that they didn't touch the ground, so they didn't go in to eat. The people in the Lin family's kitchen could make all the fragrant things by themselves, so there was no need to eat outside.

Zhou Xiaozhu is now only responsible for collecting money and not serving food, but it is not easy to settle the accounts. When Lin Xiazhi passed by, he had no time to say hello.

Seeing that it was a bit difficult to settle accounts in the store, Lin Xiazhi thought about the payment methods of those fast food restaurants in the past, and was going to tell Zhou Xiaozhu when he was empty, to see if it could save some trouble.

Lin Xiazhi went in to help settle accounts when she was ten miles away from the fragrance, but Cheng Wenliu was kicked out by him.

In fact, it's not that he really doesn't want to stay with Cheng Wenliu for a while longer, it's just that he's too busy to settle accounts and doesn't have time to accompany him, so there's no need for Cheng Wenliu to be wasted on the sidelines. As far as Lin Xiazhi knows, Cheng Wenliu has a lot of things on his hands.

Today I have been with Lin Xiazhi for several hours, Cheng Wenliu is obedient this time, he has to go back to deal with things, greeted Zhou Xiaozhu and left.

"Brother Xia, what do you think about the matter between you and Master Cheng?" After finishing a batch of lists, Zhou Xiaozhu took the time to ask Lin Xiazhi.

Lin Xiazhi is not very repulsive to this question now, and when someone asks him, he will answer: "I'm going to wait for a while until my aunt can take care of the house."

"Have you ever thought that you have been looking at you like a hen guarding the cubs, how can he learn to be a housekeeper? If you want me to say that people are forced out, when you leave, you will naturally learn Butler." Zhou Xiaozhu persuaded him.

Lin Xiazhi frowned, he was worried: "But, I—"

"You don't have to worry about him. I think Chengzu and his husband are both good, but you are still worried that they will treat your brother-in-law badly." Zhou Xiaozhu laughed at Lin Xiazhi for being too unfounded, "It's just a family that tells you the truth Actually, I don't think the second brother and brother-in-law have the temperament to be housekeepers. Instead of thinking about cultivating them, it's better to leave the matter to Cheng Zu and his wife. If you can come back and watch, you don’t have to worry so much about your father.”

What Zhou Xiaozhu said was right on point. Lin Xiazhi had been teaching Li Xiu the housekeeper years ago. I don’t know if it was because he was illiterate and couldn’t do math before, or because he couldn’t bother with his body. I can't understand the accounts.

Another batch of bills came from the store to be settled, Zhou Xiaozhu stopped chatting with Lin Xiazhi, and quickly fiddled with the abacus to calculate the money for the customers to pay.

After being busy for another half an hour, the number of customers in the store gradually decreased, and the people in the store finally became a little free.

Lin Xiazhi caught Kong and told Zhou Xiaozhu that he was thinking of a way to avoid the difficulty of paying the bill.

The price of all the items in the fragrance is clearly marked, and the price is also simple, all in multiples of five, five yuan for fried vegetables, ten yuan for fried meatballs, fifteen yuan for fried meat...

You only need to make some small bamboo sticks, one bamboo stick represents five texts, and Xiaoer will give the bamboo sticks to the guests when serving the dishes. Each table will be numbered, and the same amount will be placed when serving The bamboo sticks are on the shopkeeper's side, and the amount on both sides is correct at the checkout, so I know how much to pay on the spot, and there is no need for the shopkeeper to calculate it, and then the waiter will give it to the customer and ask the customer to pay.

The waiter in the store can count multiples of five, which can save some trouble, and there is no need to write a bill for each table when the food is served.

No one has used Lin Xiazhi's method before. Zhou Xiaozhu didn't know if it would be as easy as he said, so he just said he could try it.

Let the village carpenter Tang do the bamboo sticks. Zhou Xiaozhu estimates that if the store wants to use bamboo sticks to checkout, it may take thousands of bamboo sticks. It is impossible to make so many bamboo sticks in a day or two. During this time, I will teach the shop first. The little two in the book counts.

After Lin Xiazhi returned to Linjiacun, he entrusted the work of a thousand bamboo sticks to Carpenter Tang.

Making bamboo sticks is a delicate job, and each bamboo stick has to be engraved with characters. Tang carpenter asks for two yuan for each stick, and pays a deposit of one cent for each stick.

A deposit of one tael for a thousand bamboo sticks was only two taels of silver in total. Lin Xiazhi directly gave the full amount to Carpenter Tang, and asked him to send it to the Lin family after it was finished.

Thanks to the Lin family, life in Linjia Village has become easier. Many families have built new houses, and naturally they need new furniture. It was only by being an apprentice to help that he was busy, and he was grateful to the Lin family.

In addition, Carpenter Tang and the Lin family often cooperated, and they were already very familiar with each other. After accepting Lin Xiazhi's money, he put down other non-urgent tasks and personally helped Lin Xiazhi catch up with the work.

Before the end of spring plowing in the village, Carpenter Tang finished all the bamboo sticks that Lin Xiazhi asked for.

The clerks of Fragrant Ten Miles are also proficient at counting five, so you can try to check out with bamboo sticks.

The idea that Lin Xiazhi came up with really saved Zhou Xiaozhu a lot of time, and it was much easier to settle the accounts, as he only needed to check the number of bamboo sticks.

That is to say, the multiplication formula cannot be taught now, and the shop assistants can only memorize it bluntly. One bamboo stick is five, two bamboo sticks are ten, three bamboo sticks are fifteen... otherwise the speed can be faster.

It has been a long time since Piaoxiang Shili has new food. Looking at the bamboo sticks, Lin Xiazhi remembered that skewers were indispensable in the streets and alleys.

Skewers can be eaten hot or cold. Different ways of eating have different ingredients. Now that the weather is still cold, it is just right to eat hot skewers.

Before the Chinese New Year, Lin Xiazhi was thinking about trying to make skewers, but it was a pity that Yang Yusheng had morning sickness at that time, so he didn't dare to provoke him with those spices.

In addition to the ten miles of fragrance, Lin Xiazhi also plans to set up two rooms in the tofu room to make sweet potato starch and potato starch.

Both sweet potatoes and potatoes are tuber plants, and the fruits of the two plants can produce starch. In the past, the Lin family made jelly and sweet potato powder directly from sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes will ferment if they are not well preserved. It is better to extract starch from them. Starch is better preserved. When making vermicelli or jelly, use starch directly. In the future, the Lin family will open their own shop and sell starch.

When the spring plowing was over and the villagers were free, Lin Xiazhi told Lin Chengzu what he thought, and Lin Chengzu continued to ask for help from the old folks who had helped the Lin family build houses.

After the income of the people in Linjia Village increased, the wages paid by the Lin family to the helpers also increased. Each person was 120 Wen a day, and they still did not include meals.

Starch does not need to be heated. You only need to grind sweet potatoes or potatoes, wash, filter, let it stand, and dry. The design of the house is different from others, and it is easier to build. A group of men can build it in two days.

The house was built, but the big stone mill was not so fast, so it had to wait a few days. Making starch is very simple, and it's not that the Lin family has never done it before, so Lin Xiazhi doesn't need to bother.

Yang Yusheng pondered for two days what Lin Xiazhi said about the skewered pot ingredients, and tasted that the taste was a bit close, so he hurried to find Lin Xiazhi when he was free.

"Brother Xia, what do you think?" Yang Yusheng looked at Lin Xiazhi expectantly.

This is not the first time he has made new food, but it is the first time since he was pregnant, and he hopes that what he makes is still delicious.

Lin Xiazhi smelled the aroma as soon as he entered the kitchen, making his mouth water.

The taste of Chuan Chuan is different from that of marinated ingredients. The marinated material should be restrained. The pot of Chuan Chuan is always boiling. The spicy pepper and the aroma of aniseed will evaporate with the water vapor and fill the whole nasal cavity, which makes people unable to resist. Salivate.

"It's not bad, but I think the taste is still a bit bland." Lin Xiazhi tasted it carefully, and gave his opinion referring to the skewers he had eaten before.

He had thought about getting the kind of skewers that need to be cooked before they are cooked, but he thought that Piaoxiang Shili is just a snack food, taking the way of fast food, and eating them with seasoning after they are cooked, just like hot pot It's not suitable for Fragrance Ten Miles.

"Will adding more flavor make it a bit heavy?" Yang Yusheng disagreed.

"My envisioned skewers are like this. The bottom of the hot pot remains the same, and the vegetables can be eaten directly after being boiled. If the taste is not strong enough, the guests will taste bad." Lin Xiazhi explained.

Lin Xiazhi was thinking about how to better suit the tastes of Jingguo people. Yang Yusheng got Lin Xiazhi's suggestion and re-studied the material package.

In addition to the initial taste, there is also a mixed taste after blanching various dishes. It must be kept delicious to attract customers.

Lin Xiazhi couldn't help in the kitchen, and seeing that Yang Yusheng didn't look tired, he didn't bother him. When he continued to study, he went back to the main room to find Li Xiu.

Lin Xiazhi came here this time to discuss his marriage with Li Xiu: "Ah, I've made up my mind. After you give birth to your younger brother and pass the confinement, let Brother Wen Liu come to propose marriage."

Parents have the final say on other people's younger brother's marriage, but Lin Xiazhi from the Lin family has the final say on his own.

It's not that one family doesn't enter one family, not only the Lin family, but also the children of the Cheng family and the Yang family. In several families, the children make their own decisions.
