The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 216

Lin Xiazhi finally saw Cheng Fulang scolding others, and the three of them lowered their heads, honestly daring not to make mistakes.

When I was in the Lin family before, it was Li Xiu who listened to Lin Xiazhi. This time, Lin Xiazhi felt warm when he heard Cheng Fulang's words. After he crossed over, this was the first time he felt the feeling of being cared and scolded by his elders. .

After being scolded by Cheng Fulang collectively, Lin Xiazhi's sense of belonging to Cheng's family increased, and the subtle politeness between Cheng Fulang and Cheng Fulang became less and more intimacy with relatives.

Cheng Fulang vaguely noticed some, but he didn't understand where the change came from. It's a good thing to be closer to Brother Xia, and he didn't care.

There is another reward for going out this time: rice in bamboo tubes.

Cheng Wenliu Mingrui sensed that this was a business opportunity, so he asked the cooks of Jufulou to try to make a batch of rice in bamboo tubes to sell in Jufulou according to Lin Xiazhi.

The price of bamboo tube rice ranges from [-] Wen to [-] Wen per serving, and the better the ingredients, the more expensive it will be.

Bamboo-tube rice has become popular in Jufulou for a while, because it is easy to imitate, other restaurants have also made bamboo-tube rice one after another, and there are fewer customers who come to Jufulou to eat bamboo-tube rice, but these do not affect the business of Jufulou .

In November, people gradually begin to feel the coldness of winter, and if you get up early in the morning, it has already turned into white mist.

The new food that Lin Xiazhi was thinking of also took shape, and that was octopus balls.

It is said to be octopus balls, but in fact it just borrowed the recipe of octopus balls. Jiangning County is located inland, there is no sea, and there is no sea fish such as octopus for sale.

After he figured it out, he drew the mold for making octopus balls, and asked Lin Xiaodong to send it to the blacksmith shop, and asked the blacksmith if he could make it.

The blacksmith often received Lin Xiazhi's drawings to make new things, but he didn't call Lin Xiaodong immediately after receiving them, saying he would call back in two days.

Lin Xiazhi is not in a hurry. After the mold is ready, I have to ask my brother at home to mix the paste of the small balls, so that the people of Piaoxiang Tenli can learn how to make small balls. Can you launch them in Piaoxiang Tenli before November? It's a bit mysterious.

Later, Lin Xiaoqiu and Zhao Dong's wedding date was fixed, and the news reached Lin Xiazhi's ears through Lin Xiaodong. It was November No. 12, the day before the winter solstice, and the day was not bad.

Lin Xiazhi kept this matter in mind, and went back to add makeup to Lin Xiaoqiu when the time came.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the managers of all shops, big and small, started to report to Cheng Adie and Cheng Wenliu. This year they will go back to Liaotai County for the Chinese New Year. They have to arrange many things in advance, and the two of them are too busy to touch the ground.

There are also a lot of people and guests in the Cheng family, and gifts have to be prepared in advance. According to the degree of intimacy with the Cheng family and the number of business contacts, prepare different amounts of annual gifts.

And when I go back to Liaotai County during the Chinese New Year, there are many relatives and friends there, and one cannot be left behind.

Lin Xiazhi changed from reading the account book all day last month to reading the account book every morning, and preparing the gift list with Cheng Fulang in the afternoon.

Before that, Cheng Zhai's warehouse needs to be tidied up.

The owner was busy, and the servants followed suit, checking last year's warehouse books one by one, crossing out the broken ones from the list, taking out the needed ones and cleaning them, and cleaning up the unused ones and putting them back.

It takes time and brains to sort out these things. Young people have a good memory and their brains turn quickly. Lin Xiazhi often reminds Cheng Fulang of what he has forgotten or overlooked.

With Lin Xiazhi's help, Cheng Fulang felt a lot easier.

Some of the things in Cheng Zhai's warehouse are large decorations, some are small decorations, some can be given away, and some should be kept at home during the Chinese New Year.

In addition to these things that are not used a few times throughout the year, there are also cloth and medicinal materials that are often used, and it is very laborious to sort them out.

It took a few days to sort out the warehouse, and officially started to draw up this year's gift list.

Cheng Fulang first asked Lin Xiazhi to look at previous year's gift lists, followed him to draw up a few copies for this year, and asked Lin Xiazhi to try to write a few more.

Lin Xiazhi is not as sophisticated as Cheng Fulang when it comes to the amount of gifts to give.

"Brother Xia, we already gave the Zhang family Hainan pearls the year before last, but we can't give them any more this year. We can replace them with gems from the Western Regions."

"The relationship between the Hu family and the Qian family is a bit delicate. Don't give them the same thing. The Hu family's Shu embroidery should be replaced by Yun brocade."

"There is something wrong with the cooperation between the Liu family and us this year. You have to ask Wen Liu and the others to know how many gifts are appropriate."

"Well, it's not bad for the Bai family, so let's make it like this for the time being, and make a decision after all the gift lists are drawn up."

Cheng Fulang kept in mind the differences of each household, what taboos there were, the other party's likes and dislikes, and the relationship with the Lin family, all these information wove into a huge net, and Lin Xiazhi was firmly ensnared.

……

Cheng Wenliu, who got up early and punched twice, was still sweating on his forehead, entered the room and saw Lin Xiazhi rubbing his head: "Brother Xia, you haven't slept well at night lately?"

"It's okay, it's just a dream." Lin Xiazhi rubbed his temples, lifted the quilt and stood up from the bed.

The cold air outside pierced through the thin underwear, which made Lin Xiazhi get goosebumps all over his body, and made him more conscious.

"Are you too tired? I was too busy for a while, and I always dreamed at night." Cheng Wenliu wiped his sweat with a cloth towel placed aside, and stood over to help Lin Xiazhi tidy up his clothes.

Lin Xiazhi didn't rest well at night, and didn't want to move in the morning, leaning lazily on Cheng Wenliu and yawning: "There are indeed a lot of things to do in sorting out this year's gift list. If you don't bother me at night, I can sleep enough. "

Hearing this, Cheng Wenliu's hands paused, and then he said: "Then let me tell Ah Mo, let you learn slowly."

"No need." Seeing that the clothes were already put on, Lin Xiazhi waved him away, "I think it's better for you to be honest."

At the beginning, it took a lot of brainpower to remember those relationships, but after getting familiar with them, it has become much better. This month, I will try my best to straighten out the Cheng family's relationship, so that there will be no mistakes when I go back for the New Year.

Cheng Wenliu rubbed his nose in the back. Since Brother Xia has spoken, he will suffer a bit. Try to control himself this month and let Brother Xia relax.

Time always flies by in a busy environment, November [-]th is coming soon, Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Fulang took half a day off, and are going to bring Lin Xiaodong back to Lin's house.

Cheng Wenliu also pushed the matter away after hearing about it, and went back with Lin Xiazhi.

Lin Xiazhi glanced at him with a smile, he was quite sensible.

Both Lin Xiaoqiu and Zhao Dong are servants of the Lin family, the wedding was not grand, only the Lin family attended.

After Lin Xiazhi went back, he first went to see Lin Xiaoqiu at Lin's house.

Lin Xiaoqiu was at Lin's house at this time, sitting in the room where he and Lin Xiaodong used to be, and Li Xiu pulled him to tell him what to do.

The things belonging to Lin Xiaoqiu in the room have been packed up, and they will be moved to the tofu room later as a dowry.

"Xiaoqiu, I wish you and Zhao Dong a happy marriage for a hundred years." Lin Xiazhi walked in, looked at the shy Lin Xiaoqiu, and handed over the two makeup boxes he had prepared.

They are a gold hairpin and a set of silver jewelry.

The golden hairpin Lin Xiazhi chooses is a style suitable for young people. It is only a few weights, and a small and delicate butterfly is made of brushed technology on it.

The silver jewelry is made of hairpins and bracelets, which are thicker in weight, and the styles have also been fashionable in the past two years, so they can be worn for daily work.

"Thank you, Second Young Master." Lin Xiaoqiu looked at the lifelike golden butterfly and liked it very much.

"Brother Qiu, the Second Young Master and I picked it together." Lin Xiaodong stood up to show his merit, "At that time, the Second Young Master took a fancy to it, and I also thought it looked good."

"As long as you like it." Lin Xiazhi smiled.

Lin Xiaoqiu and the others did it simply, and didn't pay much attention to it. The new brother cleaned himself up, and everyone stayed with him until Zhao Dong and others came to the Lin's house to pick him up.

Cheng Wenliu is now on the new man's side, chatting with a group of men from the Lin family who make tofu or other food.

Both Lin Xiaoqiu and Zhao Dong are small stewards, and everyone is happy for their marriage, especially the men on Zhao Dong's side, all staring at Lin Xiaoqiu's brothers, hoping that one of them can become their husband.

The new house for them in the tofu house is Zhao Dong’s room. Before that, two brothers Zhao Dong and Zhao Nan lived here. Now Zhao Nan works as a book boy for Lin Chengzong in the county. Only Zhao Dong lives in this room. Lin Xiaoqiu married After him, this is for them to live together as husband and wife.

The room was decorated festively, red quilts, curtains, boxes and cabinets were also covered with red cloth, all of which were embroidered with a big happy character, and red paper was used to cut out happy characters and paste them on the windows.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Dong led a group of people out of the tofu shop and came to the Lin family a few steps away.

Although the Lin family and the tofu house were originally one, in order to make the process complete, Li Xiu asked the new brother to leave the Lin family and let the Lin family be the new brother's home.

Lin Xiaoqiu and the other couples in front of them did the same thing. They went out from Lin's house and then entered the tofu shop.

Several brothers under Lin Xiaoqiu stopped the new guy outside and asked him what Lin Xiaoqiu liked.

"Xiaoqiu, it seems that Zhao Dong pays close attention to you, and even knows that you don't like to eat celery." In the room, several people who have become relatives joked with Lin Xiaoqiu.

Lin Xiaoqiu was so ashamed that her face flushed, and she didn't know what to say to refute.

Outside the door, Zhao Dong answered all the questions correctly.

Everyone hurriedly helped Lin Xiaoqiu cover the red hijab, and then pushed him out.

When Zhao Dong saw Lin Xiaoqiu who was wearing a red hijab, his look of ease just now disappeared immediately, and he took Lin Xiaoqiu's hand with a blushing face.

Lin Xiaoqiu was sold from the capital. He was sold to a wealthy family when he was very young. He doesn't remember his father at all.

Therefore, Li Xiu and Lin Huzi temporarily acted as Lin Xiaoqiu's high hall, allowing them to complete their wedding smoothly.

After the two newcomers entered the bridal chamber, Mrs. Qian pulled Zhao Da and whispered.

"Master and Fulang are so kind, they are willing to lower their status to be Xiaoqiu's high hall. In the future, Xiaoqiu and Dong'er's status will be improved. Although they are still servants, the master and wife will preside over the marriage ceremony. He can be half a son." Qian was pleasantly surprised.
