The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 200 Mutton Soup 1

Life is nothing but food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Xiangbo glanced at the small bundles in the hands of the three children when he was talking about changing clothes. Although it was not winter yet and they didn’t need to wear jackets, there were too few clothes in their bundles, maybe two sets for each of them. He wears a suit and carries a suit in his luggage.In addition to the lack of clothes, the clothes on their bodies have been washed white, and there are many patches on them. It is obvious that the old clothes worn by adults have been made smaller.

Compared with dressing, they don't have to worry about eating at home.Because the three brothers of the Qin family enroll for free, they can eat breakfast and lunch for free in the cafeteria of the school every day when the school starts. If the school does not provide dinner, they can only eat at Lin's house.

It is even easier to live in. There are many vacant rooms in the school, just let them choose one to live in.The Lin family has already prepared quilts for them. They only need to clean their room and wash the sheets and quilts they have replaced when the seasons change.

On the way, he talked about these things in life carefully to make sure that they understood everything. Seeing that there was still some distance to go back to the village, Xiangbo introduced the personalities of the masters in the school to them so that they would not go to the school. I don't know anything, my eyes are dark.

Lin Xiazhi had told the masters of the school and Li Zheng that the Lin family wanted three people from other villages to study in the school in advance, and they said they had no objection, since they were using the free places of the Lin family anyway, so there was no conflict with the village.

So when Xiangbo took the three little ones to the school to register, it went smoothly and nothing went wrong.

After Xiang Bo led the three of them to sign up, he formally introduced him to Mrs. Zheng, and asked Mrs. Zheng to take care of him in his spare time.

Master Zheng was the first to teach at Linjiacun Academy. Although he was just a boy, he was patient and responsible. Now he has been appointed as the dean of Molin Academy.The eldest son of his family is currently preparing for the county examination for scholars. The youngest son has not passed the Tongsheng examination this spring, and will try again next month. I heard that there is a good chance of passing the examination.

The school hadn't started yet, and it was time for dinner, so after taking the three Qin family children to meet the masters of the school, Xiangbo and them returned to the Lin family.

"Xiang Bo, you mean that Qin Erzhu, the son of Qin Ergou, is jealous of Qin Daniu of Qin Sangou's family, and wronged Daniel by stealing the family's money?" Lin Xiazhi frowned after listening, a little confused about what the Qin family said Relationship, "Which children followed you to sign up today?"

Xiangbo chatted with the three children along the way, and he already figured out their identities: "The second young master is Qin Sanwang from Qin Dagou's family, Qin Daniu from Qin Sangou's family, and Qin Dahu from Qin Sigou's family. .”

"These names are too difficult to remember. Ask their parents if they would like to have the master of the academy give them a new name." Lin Xiazhi had already been dazzled by some big cows, big tigers, two pillars, and three wangs.

Rural areas pay attention to low names and easy to support, and they are very casual when naming their children. You may shout "Daniu" in the village, and several children will look back at you at the same time.

"Yes, I have written it down." Xiangbo nodded.

He also felt that if the children were going to take the imperial examination in the future, Yu Xi was right, these names seemed very informal.

"As for the child in the second bedroom of the Qin family you mentioned—" Lin Xiazhi tapped the table with his left index finger, "The child is still young, give their family another chance, and if this happens again in the future, I will give them the land to harvest return."

"The second young master is sincere and kind." Xiangbo sighed.

"Didn't you say that the old Qintou has taught them a lesson? Do you know how to punish Xiangbo?" Lin Xiazhi was curious about how the old Qintou would handle this matter.

Now the tenant farmers of the Qin family have a craft, and each family has saved three to forty taels of silver. Maybe it is not enough to let them get rid of their status as tenant farmers, but they should be able to build houses and buy land in a year. , In this case, how will Lao Qintou treat his younger generation who made a mistake.

"I didn't stay in the house at the time, and I couldn't hear clearly, as if Qin Ergou was not allowed to go out alone to pick up the work." Xiangbo said with some uncertainty, he had already taken Qin Daniu out at that time.

Lin Xiazhi nodded: "Okay, I understand. Go back and ask them what I said today. By the way, tell the second room of the Qin family that we will rent the land to them next year. Whether you want to rent it or not will be decided after seeing their performance."

"Yes, I remember." Xiangbo said respectfully.

"How about the three children who came to the school in the village? Are they used to it?" Lin Xiazhi thought of the three children who left their parents at a young age to study in Linjia Village, and asked with concern.

"I introduced them to several masters in the school. The school will start in two days. In these two days, they followed Mr. Zheng to learn about the school."

"It's just that the school hasn't started classes yet, and the cafeteria doesn't provide meals, so I will take them home for dinner on my own initiative."

"When the school officially starts, they will only come over for a meal at night."

Thinking about the nervousness of the three children, Xiangbo smiled: "The three of them are here for the first time, so let me draw attention to it so that the children in the village don't bully them."

"Well, Xiangbo, you can look at the arrangement, and bring them over after dinner to meet Dad and the others."

Before Lin Xiazhi looked at the poor tenant farmers of the Qin family, he promised them to rent their own land and let their children go to the school in Linjia Village. Now that I think about it, my decision at that time was still too reckless.

The four families of the Qin family only promised three places. No, it immediately caused family conflicts.

In addition, he didn't know whether these children were suitable for studying, and whether the family was willing to let them come, and he didn't take their wishes into account.

Fortunately, Xiangbo went to the mountain village today, otherwise Qin Daniu would probably be wronged.

Lin Xiazhi sighed, and then reflected on himself, he couldn't promise so casually in the future.

After dinner, Lin Xiaoqiu brought the three Qin family children to Lin Xiazhi.

When the three children saw Lin Xiazhi, they knelt down and kowtowed in unison to thank Lin Xiazhi.

Lin Xiazhi helped them up, encouraged them to follow Mrs. Zheng to learn how to read and count well in school, and also warned them that men who have gold under their knees should not kneel down casually for others.

Lin Xiazhi's kind attitude moved the three of them to tears.

After seeing Lin Xiazhi, Lin Huzi and Li Xiu were also invited by Lin Xiaoqiu.

Lin Huzi had a good impression of the tenant farmers of the Qin family, and he was kind to the three children. He even took out the private money he had saved, and gave one child two copper coins as a meeting gift.

Lin Xiazhi watched Lin Huzi take the initiative to give the meeting gift, and suddenly thought that he didn't give it just now, and felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, these children didn't care about it.

Lin Chengzu was a little busy today and didn't rush home for dinner. Yang Yusheng met the three children on behalf of them. They still had to stay in Linjiacun for a long time, and they would have more opportunities to meet Lin Chengzu in the future.

After settling down the children of the Qin family, at the end of September, the school officially started.

At this time, the weather was getting colder, and Lin Xiazhi added another coat. He planned to eat more than one sheep, and it was time to add a new food.

What Lin Xiazhi wants to make is very simple, which is mutton soup.

Mutton is warm and nourishing, suitable for eating all year round, and it is most suitable for drinking in autumn and winter.

There is no skill in mutton soup. Cook the mutton in water for a while, remove the blood in the mutton, then cut it into thin slices, add various ingredients and cook.

When he started planning to eat and sell more mutton soup, Lin Xiazhi had already asked a blacksmith to order a big pot, and the shop also set up a stove next to the barbecue, and waited for Lin Xiazhi to speak, and started selling mutton soup in the shop .

As the weather gets colder, the business of kebabs is gradually not as good as before. A sheep can only be sold out from morning to night. It is time to add new elements to make a lamb more popular.

When I used to eat more roast lamb, the offal of the lamb was sold at a low price in the village. Now I am going to make mutton soup. These can be cooked together in the mutton soup without wasting ingredients.

On the first day of trying to sell mutton soup, Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Gang to cook only half of the mutton, and he used saltpeter to make the remaining half and freeze it for use the next day.

The mutton soup has a unique aroma. Lin Xiazhi added several special medicinal materials in it, which added to the flavor of the mutton soup. While suppressing the smell, it also released the freshness of the mutton completely, which is different from the strong taste of barbecue. .

The soup base of mutton soup is boiled with mutton bones early in the morning, and the half-cooked mutton is cooked again when customers order.

People who pass by will always come to see what new things this famous mutton barbecue has come up with.

Although it’s not winter yet, the delicious smell of mutton soup is quite tempting for foodies. Just smelling the smell of mutton soup makes me really want to have a bowl.

There were more and more people watching, and finally someone couldn't help asking: "Xiao Er, how do you sell this soup?"

Lin Gang stirred the soup with a big spoon to let the fragrance out more, and then he said calmly: "Guest, our mutton soup has three prices, one is pure mutton, twenty cents a bowl, and the second is pure mutton. It’s mutton plus mutton tendon, a bowl of [-] Wen, the third is mutton and haggis, a bowl of [-] Wen, a bowl of mutton soup and a bowl of rice as a gift, which one do you want?”

"Tell me which of these three tastes is better, and what is that haggis?" Hearing the word haggis for the first time, the first guest who spoke was a little curious.

Lin Xiazhi introduced with a smile: "mutton is thin but not firewood, lamb tendon is soft and chewy, haggis is refreshing and chewy, each taste has its own merits. Haggis is lamb offal, processed by our shop's unique secret recipe, the taste can be called one-of-a-kind. Absolutely."

"What! Sheep offal?" The guest's eyes widened. He knew what offal tasted like. How could a sheep be sold off after eating too many sheep? Wouldn't that be ruining his family's reputation?

Seeing the guest's reaction, Lin Gang was not in a hurry, and picked a few haggis from the big bowl next to him and boiled them in the pot.
