The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 174 Adjusting Accounts

Lin Xiazhi heard Cheng Wenliu say, "Brother Xia, it's cold outside at night, go back to your room to rest first, and I'm leaving for Liaotai County tomorrow, and I'll come back in a few days to bring you gifts."

Lin Xiazhi was stunned for a moment before replying: "Okay, be careful on the road, I'll go back to the house first."

Hearing Lin Xiazhi's reply, Cheng Wenliu waited for Lin Xiazhi to return to the house before leaving contentedly.

After Cheng Wenliu left, Lin Xiazhi's life didn't seem to change much. Only Yang Yusheng, who was most familiar with him, noticed something was wrong with him. After asking twice, Lin Xiazhi didn't say anything, and Yang Yusheng didn't continue to ask.

The days passed day by day, and soon came June.

People who came to visit Lin's house told Lin Xiazhi and the others that the young man who framed Lin Ancheng was ill at that time, and Hu Langzhong went to prescribe some medicine, and his condition improved a little later, but his family members did not know when others went to visit. see you.

A few days later, rumors spread that Nian's husband had reconciled with his man, and the elders of the clan and Li Zheng were invited to testify.

Fortunately, the two had just been married for two years and had no children yet. After they divorced, their husband returned home with his dowry.

Lin Xiazhi didn't expect that the family would let their son reconcile with Fulang directly. The husband is from another village, and he asked the clan elders and Li Zheng to be witnesses, probably because he was worried that the old man would reveal the secret of Doufang when he returned home. , Let the young husband sign some agreement.

This matter was tacitly understood by everyone, and it was not discussed in the village, as if the husband had never married to Lin Family Village.

It's just that from now on, all the people in Linjiacun who want to marry brothers from other villages have become more cautious.

Lin Xiazhi thought that there was no such thing as leaking secrets. At least the high-ranking households in Jiangning County knew what to do with bean sticks and bean curd sticks, but they were willing to intervene at the risk of the county magistrate’s displeasure. idea.

These chores in Doufang and the village will not affect Lin Xiazhi. He occasionally thinks about what Cheng Wenliu said he would be back in a few days on his birthday night. Now it has been ten days since he hasn't returned. What the hell did this man go out to do?

Fortunately, Lin Xiazhi had something to keep him busy in his little notebook. After half a year of feeding, the lambs in the village were almost big enough to be slaughtered.

At the same time, the cumin seeds that Cheng Wenliu gave him at the beginning of the year have been planted for two rounds, and the harvested cumin is enough for him to open a barbecue restaurant.

All the families in the village raised a total of about [-] sheep. The lambs can be raised for a while longer, but if the lambs are fully grown before being slaughtered, some sheep that are too late to kill will be aged. The roasted lamb is better. eat.

Lin Xiazhi endured the worry or longing for Cheng Wenliu, and began to prepare a barbecue restaurant.With the barbecue shop busy, Lin Xiazhi will not always think of Cheng Wenliu during the day.

Barbecue and Piaoxiang Shili will not be combined. Lin Xiazhi divided them into two separate businesses from the beginning of preparation. Xiangbo rented a small store in the downtown area according to Lin Xiazhi's instructions.

Lin Xiazhi explained to Xiangbo in detail how to decorate it, and it is generally not too far from Piaoxiang Shili, and after all, it should look bright and clean.

Because the barbecue uses charcoal fire, it is inevitable that the oily smoke is relatively large. Lin Xiazhi drew a picture of the grill and asked Xiangbo to go to the blacksmith to do the same. In addition to the grill, there is also a tall chimney, which is connected from the grill to the roof. , the smoke is discharged along the tall chimney, and will not affect other businesses and pedestrians on the street.

Just like the original fragrance ten miles, the decoration of Lin Xiazhi's barbecue restaurant also aroused everyone's curiosity.

In addition to store decoration, it is also necessary to choose the people who will work in the barbecue restaurant.The most important thing for barbecue is cumin and raw materials. Needless to say, the raw materials refer to sheep raised with bean dregs. As long as you control these two points, you are not afraid of others imitating them.

Lin Xiazhi picked four servants from the Lin family who were not stealthy or slippery, and did not intend to buy any more.

Because mutton has a smell, Lin Xiazhi didn't plan to ask Yang Yusheng to help him at first. This year, he first researched some common-flavored roast mutton, and after Yang Yusheng produced it, he asked him to improve the barbecue ingredients.

However, after Yang Yusheng learned that Lin Xiazhi was going to open a barbecue restaurant, he offered to help. After all, Lin Xiazhi said before that he would give him a share. .

Lin Xiazhi and Yang Yusheng were the only two in the barbecue restaurant. They agreed that Lin Xiazhi would get seven points and Yang Yusheng would get three points.

With Yang Yusheng's help, Lin Xiazhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, letting him eat it was no problem, but it was still a bit difficult to adjust the seasoning formula, especially after Yang Yusheng married over, Lin Xiazhi's taste was spoiled.

Although the period of morning sickness has passed, Yang Yusheng still doesn't like the smell of oily smoke, so Lin Xiazhi will teach the servants in the barbecue shop how to grill meat, and Yang Yusheng concentrates on researching seasonings.

The two worked together, Yang Yusheng prepared the seasoning before the decoration of the store was completed, Lin Xiazhi taught the servants to barbecue, Yang Yusheng retired and completed his task, and the rest was up to Lin Xiazhi.

Lin Xiazhi thought that he was going to get married soon, although he didn't think that because he got married, he and the Lin family would have to be separated very clearly, as some people said, the married brother would splash water, but he still never Lin Chengzu bought the deeds of prostitution of those servants, let them separate from the Lin family, and belong to the barbecue shop in the future.

It's not just a barbecue shop, Lin Xiazhi is still thinking about what to do with Piaoxiang Shili. Now he is still at Lin's house. All kinds of ingredients for Piaoxiang Shili are from Lin's house, and the food sold in the store is also processed in Lin's house.

Sometimes materials and manpower are mixed together and it is not clear enough. After he marries into the Cheng family, the family will have to settle accounts clearly, and they must not continue to take advantage of the family.

The preparation of the food sold in Piaoxiang Shili is not complicated, but there are many processes. It is better to sell a few more servants and build a room in the tofu room. Eat shrimp, jelly, and tofu brain.

Just treat it as Piaoxiang Shili buying food from the Lin family, and the vegetables and ice cubes for fried skewers are also calculated according to the market price, so as to avoid unclear accounts on both sides.

Lin Xiaoqiu can read and count, and is very familiar with the affairs of Piaoxiang Shili Yiying. Lin Xiazhi intends to train him to be a person in the Lin family who is connected with Piaoxiang Shili. They bought them with the deed of selling their lives, and sent them back to the Lin family after ten miles of fragrance, and went out to buy someone by themselves.

When Lin Xiazhi thought about it, he immediately did it. After lunch at noon that day, he got into the carriage and went to Zhou Xiaozhu to discuss it.

In fact, Zhou Xiaozhu had thought about these issues long ago. He was worried that the Lin family would think too much if he took the initiative to bring it up, so he never mentioned it. Now that Lin Xiazhi took the initiative to bring it up, it would be easier for him to talk.

Now there are seven people in Piaoxiang Shili, six brothers who work, and one man. The man was bought by Zhou Xiaozhu. Two of the brothers are from the Lin family, two were bought by him later, and the other two are hired.

"Brother Xia, to be honest, I'm too lazy to choose and train people, so I just buy them and count them in the public account of ten miles of fragrance, what do you think?" Zhou Xiaozhu directly took out 30 taels of silver and looked at Lin What Xia Zhi means: "I heard Brother Xiu said that when he bought these two people, he spent a total of 27 taels, and the extra three taels of silver was regarded as interest. After all, he didn't stay at the Lin family much after he bought it, and has been drifting away. Xiang Shili is working."

"Okay, I'll send the deed of sale to my uncle tomorrow." Lin Xiazhi readily accepted.

Afterwards, the two discussed the matter of Piaoxiang Shili's separation from the Lin family, and said that it would not be messed up after the breakup, and that the accounts should be clarified so as not to cause problems in the future.

Regardless of whether it is Piaoxiang Shili or the barbecue restaurant Lin Xiazhi is preparing for, Yang Yusheng has never interfered in management matters from the beginning to the end. He is only responsible for cooking, so after Lin Xiazhi told him the result of his discussion with Zhou Xiaozhu, he I have no comment after listening.

On the Lin family's side, Lin Xiazhi also told Lin Chengzu to build a house dedicated to supplying supplies to Piaoxiang Shili. By the way, he also sorted out the family's servants and stewards, and sent people to the county to buy them back. In the future, the people's division of labor Just fix it and let's talk about adjustments.

The servants of the Lin family only served at home, and together with the servants of the Lin residence in Jiangning County, they were put under the care of Uncle Xiang.

The tofu room is divided into two types. One is the Lin’s tofu room, which is managed by Mr. Zhao, and his subordinates are in charge of several different foods such as Lin’s tofu, dried tofu skin, tofu milk, starch, and sweet potato powder.

In addition, Lin Xiaoqiu led a few brothers to be responsible for Piaoxiang Shili. Maybe in addition to Piaoxiang Shili, the barbecue restaurant will also need their help in the future.

The jobs of the several masters in the family became clear at once. Lin Huzi still only had to take care of his part of the land. Li Xiu was really not expected to be a housekeeper. Lin Xiazhi had already started to hand things over to Yang Yusheng. Lin Chengzu only had to take care of the other business of the family when supplying supplies to Piaoxiang Shili.

While sorting out the messy accounts and manpower of the Lin family, the barbecue restaurant hanging on Lin Xiazhi's head also officially opened, named "One sheep eats more".

From now on, this shop will only serve mutton. Lin Xiazhi appointed one of the four servants who is more flexible in doing things to be the steward. He is fully responsible for the matter of eating more than one sheep, and reports the accounts to him every five days.

After such busy work, another ten days passed, and there was still no news from Cheng Wenliu. Fortunately, a few days ago, Cheng Luanjing came to find Lin Xiazhi and told him his new script.

Lin Xiazhi obliquely asked Cheng Luanjing what was going on with Cheng Wenliu now, and Cheng Luanjing saw through what Lin Xiazhi wanted to ask him at a glance: "Brother Xia, don't worry, brother and father are going to a farm in Liaotai County this time, there are a lot of them, yes It takes a while, every year."

Lin Xiazhi was seen through by Cheng Luanjing, and suppressed the shame in his heart: "That's good."

Cheng Luanjing and Lin Xiazhi were also acquainted, knowing that he was shy and awkward in this regard, so he didn't make fun of him, and changed the topic to continue talking about other things.
