The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 171

The 35 acres of dry land in Lin Xiazhi's hands were all equipped with bamboo pipes to transport water. Since these fields belonged to him, he thought that the reward for these bamboo pipes for carrying water would naturally have to be given to the Qin family.

Old Qintou had just been persuaded by Lin Xiazhi to install bamboo pipes to carry water for one hundred yuan per acre of land, and Lin Xiazhi immediately took out three and a half taels of silver from his wallet: "These are the expenses for installing bamboo pipes in the dry land of Beishan Village, old Qintou, you Keep it."

"Master Lin, you can't help it." Old Qin pushed the money back, "You told me about the idea of ​​carrying water through bamboo tubes, so how can I collect your money?"

"Old Qintou, I just mentioned that you are doing the design and installation before and after, why can't you take the money?" Lin Xiazhi asked back.

"If it weren't for your idea, I wouldn't have thought of these things." Old Qintou insisted not to accept it.

"You don't accept the money, and I'm going to ask you to go to my house to install bamboo pipes. Is it true that you don't want to accept the money?" Before Old Qintou could answer, Lin Xiazhi went on to say, "You are the tenants of my farm. , I am not a long-term worker, as long as the rent is paid to me on time, we will not owe each other, and you don’t need to take it for granted that you work for me. Why don’t you give me a discount for the bamboo pipes installed in the farm, and only give two Two silver, I will take back the remaining one or two half, and then you go to install bamboo pipes for others, how about giving me half of the idea fee every time?"

After Lin Xiazhi arrived in Jingguo, he earned ideas everywhere. If he gave specific formulas, he would charge more. For those who only pointed at the beginning and needed others to study, he would charge less. Sometimes he felt that he It's embarrassing to hold the money, after all, it's not him who really came up with the idea, he's just a porter.

After Lin Xiazhi said this, Old Qin finally let go, but he felt that Lin Xiazhi should take more.

He was too lazy to keep talking with Old Qin, and put two taels of silver on the table: "This matter is settled like this."

Seeing that Lin Xiazhi seemed about to lose his temper, Old Qin hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Two taels of silver. In the past, their families worked hard for a whole year, and they might not be able to save it in the end. It was just earned after a few days of busy work. Old Qintou bowed deeply in the direction where Lin Xiazhi left .

With Lin Xiazhi as a matchmaker, the first guest of Lao Qintou and the others was naturally the Lin family of Linjiacun.

The Lin family now has more than 20 mu of dry land, and Lin Huzi must be too busy farming alone. When the farming season is busy, people from the tofu house come to help, and when it is not so busy, he invites two other men from the Lin family village. Do the work of watering, weeding and fertilizing.

Lin Xiazhi wanted to install some bamboo pipes for the family's field to transport water, but Lin Huzi didn't know the price, so he agreed as long as it was something new in Jiangning County.

Only after he got in touch with Lao Qintou and others did he realize that this bamboo tube was a new thing made by Lao Qintou and others.Out of trust in Lin Xiazhi, Lin Huzi did not stop him with the mentality of giving it a try. He regretted it when he learned that an acre of land cost one hundred Wen. Baiwen, the number is not small.

The bamboo pipes in the field at home hadn't been installed yet, so Lin Huzi went back at night and quietly discussed with Li Xiu that the fields that had already been installed with bamboo pipes should be ignored, and those that hadn't been installed should be left alone.

Lin Huzi didn't manage the accounts at home, so he didn't know how much money the Lin family had now. He was still a small peasant in the past, thinking that one tael of silver was a lot of money.

Although Li Xiu now stays at home with his children all day long to embroider and make clothes, but he was also a good hand at growing crops before, so he knows how hard it is to carry water every day. He thinks that Xia Geer can get a bamboo tube to carry water from outside. It is very useful, not to mention that in his opinion, one hundred cents per mu of land is not expensive.

It's just that Li Xiu knew Lin Huzi's character very well, and while feeding the little rice cake milk, he persuaded him: "I'll go and see it tomorrow."

Lin Xiazhi had told the Qin family how much land they had before, and the joints for the bamboo pipes had already been prepared. Yesterday old Qintou led five juniors to work for a day, and the bamboo pipes for the ten-acre field had already been installed. .

The next morning, when Lin Huzi went to water the fields, he saw that the two villagers he had invited to help had already watered ten acres of land with newly installed bamboo pipes. The acres of land that have not been installed with bamboo pipes have not yet been watered, and the three of them still carry water as before.

Naturally, the 26-mu land was faster than the [-]-mu land, and today's work was finished much earlier than usual. Lin Huzi was a little surprised, and looked around the bamboo tube several times, very surprised.

At this time, Li Xiu packed up the rice cakes and went out to have a look as he promised yesterday: "Brother Huzi, what do you think?"

"It's easy to use." Lin Huzi told the truth, "It's just a bit expensive."

"Actually, if you think about it, it means that our family has a lot of land, which makes it more expensive. Like others who only have a few acres of land, isn't it not expensive?" Li Xiu and Lin Huzi have been married for many years, so they naturally understand his thinking.

Lin Huzi thought that this was really the case, and Li Xiu said a few more words later, and he accepted it.

After Li Xiu and Lin Huzi finished talking, they walked around the field together, and Lao Qintou came over with four younger generations and the bamboo pipes of today's ten mu of land.

They set off from Beishan Village almost at dawn. Except for Lao Qintou, everyone carried a big basket on their backs, and they walked for an hour and a half before arriving at Linjia Village.

Seeing Lin Huzi with a rather young husband, Old Qin walked over and bowed to Lin Huzi: "Master Lin."

After speaking, he looked at Li Xiu with a little doubt.Lin Huzi is busy in the fields every day, looking old in the wind and sun. Li Xiu has been raised at home for almost two years, and she looks much younger than before. It is difficult for people who don’t know them to regard them as a couple. .

"Old Qintou, this is my husband." Lin Huzi introduced in the middle, he didn't have so many twists and turns in his heart, he just pretended that Lao Qintou had never met Li Xiu, "Brother Xiu, this is the one for you." The old Qin head who installs bamboo pipes in our field."

"Lin Fulang." Old Qin hid his astonishment, and briefly looked at Li Xiu while saluting. It was indeed similar to Lin Xiazhi's facial features.

Seeing that they were all sweating profusely and their clothes were soaked, Li Xiu asked, "Old Qintou, did you come all the way here?"

After getting a definite answer from Old Qin, Li Xiu didn't continue to chat and delay their work, but let the kitchen cook a pot of mung bean soup and send it to the field after returning home.

There are few things in the house. Old Qintou and the others did not bring any earthen jars for water when they came out to work. When they were thirsty, they had to fetch a bucket of water from the well to drink directly. Today, they had mung bean soup, which relieved the heat and quenched their thirst. Less, let them feel more grateful to the Lin family from the bottom of their hearts.

The Lin family's 26 acres of land were all installed in less than three days. The Lin family village has long regarded the Lin family as a weathervane. Whatever the Lin family does, as long as the villagers can imitate it, they will follow suit.

There was no need for Lin Xiazhi to find someone. After seeing the movement, Fu Lang would naturally bring a gift to the Lin family to inquire.

Li Xiu has long been used to this, and Brother Xia asked him to help Old Qin and the others to promote more, so he explained the purpose of the bamboo pipes installed by the Lin family in the past two days and how much they cost.

Spending one hundred yuan per acre to install bamboo pipes in the field can save a lot of watering effort, which is very cost-effective. The husbands got the news from the Lin family and went back to discuss it with their own men.

In addition to the husbands who went to the Lin family to inquire, the men also went to the fields to look at the new things of the Lin family. Lin Huzi let everyone try to use the bamboo pipe, and found that this ugly bamboo pipe was very useful, so he went back to discuss with his husband. .

A hundred cash is not a lot of money to most families in Linjia Village. They calculated how many fields they needed to install bamboo pipes, and took the deposit to find Lao Qintou.

Old Qintou got busy with his juniors, some of them were making bamboo pipe joints at home, and some of them went out with him to install bamboo pipes in the fields.

The longer they work in Lin Family Village, the more they know about Lin Family Village and even the Lin Family, and the more they admire the Lin Family. Whether it is planting the land for Lin Xiazhi or installing bamboo pipes for each household, they are more concerned, and look forward to them being able to Re-own their own land, no longer be a tenant farmer.

The weather is getting hotter, Lin Xiazhi has long thought about what new food Piaoxiang Shili will launch this summer, this food is not difficult, without Yang Yusheng's help, Lin Xiazhi and Qian Shi worked together for a few days and made it .

The new food is one of the must-have delicacies in summer: cold cakes and cold shrimps.

Cold shrimp cake is actually a kind of thing, but the shape is different. One is directly solidified and formed, and the other is dripped into cold water through a colander to form a drop shape.

The most classic partner of cold cake is naturally brown sugar. Brown sugar cold cake is also Lin Xiazhi's favorite taste since childhood. In addition to brown sugar, other sweet ingredients can be added to match cold cake.

For example, when selling tofu nao before, honey osmanthus was added to tofu nao, and other flavors that were made one after another later, as long as they are sweet, they can be added to cold cakes.In addition to adding sugar to taste, Lin Xiazhi also suggested adding cooked red beans and candied fruit to the cold cake to increase the taste.

The cold shrimp and cold cake are the same, but the cold cake is cut into a small square and put on a plate, and the cold shrimp is a big bowl.

Originally, they planned to add candied fruit and red beans to the cold shrimp, but they gave up after trying it once. Most of the cold shrimp was filled with water, and the red beans were boiled so soft that the red bean paste flowed out as soon as they were put in, making the whole bowl of cold shrimp look delicious. It looks a little strange.

Not to mention candied fruit, the taste is not good after soaking in water, and it will also affect the taste of cold shrimp.

After the cold cakes and cold shrimps are ready, they will be sold in Piaoxiang Shili. Now diners in Jiangning County and even Lishui County have formed a habit. As long as there is something new in Piaoxiang Shili, they must try it. Let them down.

In the hot summer, eating a cold cake soaked in well water and drinking a bowl of sweet cold shrimp will make you feel refreshed both physically and mentally.Let's have another piece of the most famous fried chicken in Piaoxiang Shili. It's like a fairy's life. No wonder Brother Zhi is unwilling to return to heaven after he descends to earth.

Those rich brothers and husbands who are inconvenient to go out by themselves have to ask their servants to go there almost every day to pack a cold cake or cold shrimp from Piaoxiang Shili.
