Chapter 218 Something went wrong
The weather is really getting colder and colder. After a while, the heater will be used at home, and life will be easier.
"Dumplings stuffed with leeks are really delicious, why don't you like them?" Cheng Wenliu shook his head when he said that, as if he wanted to sing a poem about dumplings stuffed with leeks.
"Get up quickly, don't eat breakfast if you don't get up again." After Lin Xiazhi said this to Cheng Wenliu who was still lying on the bed, he opened the door and left their room without looking back.
Cheng Wenliu was lying in the room. Ever since he married Xia Ge'er, Xia Ge'er had become more and more "bad" and yelled at him every now and then.But don't say it, this taste feels pretty good, it's different to have Fu Lang care about it, and have Fu Lang take care of it.
Cheng Wenliu chuckled a few times secretly, and got up and dressed obediently. Fu Lang had to listen to what Fu Lang said.
After the winter solstice, Lin Xiazhi remembered what he forgot on the way back from Linjiacun that day. This year, the family has not started making sausage and bacon.
The sheep raised by the villagers have been sold in the same food for several months, and those who raise less sheep and more pigs have long spoken bitterly in the village.
He heard it the last two times when he went back, saying that pigs eat more than sheep and are more difficult to serve. The Lin family has never taken pork. Is it because the mutton business is doing well and the pigs don't want it anymore.
The pigs raised by the villagers are going to be used as sausages and bacon at the end of the year. Naturally, they will not be slaughtered in advance, and they were so busy that they forgot.
Although Lin Xiazhi only went back to Mo's house two days ago because of Lin Xiaoqiu and Zhao Dong's happy event, today he missed the sausage and bacon, and told Cheng Fulang that he planned to go back to Lin's Village again.
"Ah, this year is the first time my family has made a lot of sausages and bacon. There must be a lot of things. I want to go back and see for myself." Lin Xiazhi made it clear without hiding it.
Sausage and bacon is a lucrative business for the Lin family. Cheng Fulang understood Li Xiu's temperament and knew that he was not very good at taking care of these things, so he asked Lin Xiazhi to go back early to have a look, and even prepared a gift for Lin Xiazhi.
Lin Xiazhi received Cheng Fulang's words and gifts, took Lin Xiaodong to clean up and went back to Linjiacun.
Li Xiu and Yang Yusheng were busy raising their children this year, and the whole family forgot about it. It was Li Mao who came over and asked everyone to remember it.
Li Mao listened to Lin Xiazhi's words and raised a lot more pigs in the second half of the year. He was waiting for the Lin family to take their pigs to make sausages and bacon.
With Li Mao's reminder, Li Xiucai remembered that he was driven by Lin Xiazhi last year to learn how to make sausage and bacon, which is not very strange.
After digging out last year's account books, Li Xiu asked the servants of the family to buy a batch of seasonings first, and counted how many pigs the villagers raised and the weight of each pig.
The pigs from the Li family had to be supplied to Jufulou during the Chinese New Year, and there was a lot of demand, so Li Xiu decided to collect the pigs from the Lin family village first, and then use the pigs from the Li family.
When Lin Xiazhi returned, the Lin family had already counted how many pigs were raised in the Lin family village. Li Xiu and Yang Yusheng were calculating how much money they would need to buy the pigs and how much seasoning they would prepare.
At this time, a lot of spices were put in the backyard of the Lin family, and the smell was really strong. Lin Xiazhi sneezed as soon as he entered the house.
"Brother Xia?" Li Xiu heard the voice and came out of the main room.
Lin Xiazhi sneezed several times before he stopped, and looked at Li Xiu with tears in his eyes: "Ah, are you already preparing to make sausage and bacon?"
"That's right, didn't you just come back two days ago? Why did you come back today?" Li Xiu stepped forward and looked at Lin Xiazhi's teary face, and couldn't bear to scold him, "Where's Wen Liu?"
"I made a temporary decision to come back, Wen Liu didn't know." Lin Xiazhi rubbed the tip of his nose, "I suddenly realized today that my family hadn't started making sausage and bacon, so I rushed home to have a look."
"Brother Xia, it's just right that you are back. I was telling Ahma just now that there is something wrong with the pigs raised by a family in the village." Yang Yusheng also came out of the house.
"Let's get people to move the seasonings from the backyard to the tofu shop first. Keep these seasonings at home. How can the two children, the rice cakes and millet balls, bear it." Lin Xiazhi's nose still felt a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't sneeze.
"Oh, these were all brought in today. We were too busy looking at the pigs in the village and forgot to deal with them." After speaking, Li Xiu hurriedly asked people to move the seasoning to the open space of the tofu house.
Yang Fulang had taken the rice cakes and millet balls out to find Lin Huzi before, otherwise the two children would have cried non-stop if they smelled such a strong smell of seasoning.
After removing the spices, Lin Xiazhi felt that his nose felt much better, so he followed Yang Yusheng and the others into the house to see the pig he said had problems.
Most of the pigs in Linjia Village are raised from piglets caught after spring plowing. Up to now, each of them has a weight of more than 300 catties. There is only one family whose pigs are thinner than others, only weighing more than 200 catties.
"Have you ever heard of problems with the pigs raised by Lin Tieniu before?" Lin Xiazhi asked, tapping on the table.
"I haven't heard from people in the village. I remember watching Lin Tieniu pushing a wheelbarrow to pick up bean dregs at the bean farm two days ago." Li Xiu replied.
Tens of hundreds of catties less than other people, this amount is absolutely abnormal, the pigs and sheep in Linjia Village are given bean dregs according to the amount, the more livestock in the family, the more bean dregs there will be.
This summer, two more bean farms were built in the village. Because more sheep were eaten first, they opened first, so the extra bean dregs were used to raise sheep. The number of sheep raised in Linjia Village has been changing.
However, the number of pigs has not changed, but the supply of bean dregs will gradually increase because the pigs eat more. Could it be that Lin Tieniu used the bean dregs from pigs for other things?
They found out that something was wrong with their pigs. Just now Li Xiu and Yang Yusheng were discussing what to do, whether they should go directly to their house to see the pigs.
Lin Xiazhi disagreed, and asked them to tell Li Zheng about the matter, and let Li Zheng handle it.
Li Zheng was the one who led the villagers to raise pigs and sheep at the beginning, but now that there are problems with the pigs, Li Zheng is naturally the one to deal with them.
The matter could not be delayed, Lin Xiazhi asked Li Xiu to bring a basket of eggs to Lizheng's house to find Wei Fulang, and tell Wei Fulang about this first.
Wei Fulang was very angry when he found out about it. He knew how much effort his husband had put into this matter. If Lin Tieniu really messed with it and ruined the reputation of the villagers, then his husband should be very angry.
Wei Fulang didn't dare to delay, and immediately told Li Zheng about it.
Afterwards, Lizheng went to Doufang to check the record of Lin Tieniu receiving bean dregs, and then asked his neighbors, but found nothing wrong.
Apart from him, Lin Tieniu's family only has his old grandmother with bad eyesight and his son with a broken leg.This man is also pitiful. Husband died of blood collapse during childbirth, leaving behind a son. Lin Tieniu became a father and a mother to raise his son. Unexpectedly, his son went to the mountains to play when he was ten years old. Be careful rolling down the mountain with injuries all over his body and a broken leg. In order to heal his son, Lin Tieniu sold all the fields at home to save his life.Since then, he has gone out to do coolies to make money, leaving the youngest in the family to take care of the children.
Recently, the Lin family village has gradually developed by relying on the Lin family. Lin Tieniu came back to work. Every morning, he pushed the Lin family's tofu to various towns and villages for sale, and did odd jobs for each household in the afternoon. The family situation has improved a little.
Lin Tieniu is an honest person, and Lizheng thought so before, so he decided to go to Lin Tieniu's house first, without directly informing the village.
The one who came to open the door for Lizheng was Lin Tieniu, who had bad eyesight. The old lady was in her 40s, and she shed tears every day because of her grandson's legs. It was at that time that her eyes began to lose sight. go out.
"Grandma, I heard that the Lin family is preparing to accept pigs, so come and see your pigs." Li was standing at the door and said to Lin Tieniu's grandma.
Grandma’s eyesight is bad, but her ears are good, so she immediately heard Li Zheng’s voice, and walked out to open the door: “Li Zheng, our pig is doing very well, let’s go, I’ll show you.”
Li Zheng went into the house and looked around. There was a basket of bean dregs in the corner of the front yard. Lin Tieniu received two baskets from the bean shop yesterday. Now that the weather is cold, the bean dregs can be stored for two more days. One of the baskets should have been boiled I fed it to the pigs, and he will cook the remaining basket for the pigs when he comes back in the afternoon.
"Our Tie Niu got up early in the morning and cooked pig food for the pigs. You can hear how happy they are eating." The old grandmother was very happy, and he was happy when he heard the pigs were eating. These pigs can be exchanged for silver Yes, "Thanks to the Lin family, our family's life has been much better in the past two years..."
Grandma's eyes can't see clearly, but Lizheng's eyes are good. He looked at the pig in the pigsty, frowning so much that he could kill a fly. This pig is different from the pigs in their village that grew up eating bean dregs. Pig outside!
The old lady didn't hear Lizheng's reply, so she babbled and said a lot to thank the Lin family, saying that the family planned to buy two acres of land this year, and in the future they could sell tofu while farming, and they could also raise pigs and sheep.
Apparently, Mr. Lin Tieniu didn't know about Lin Tieniu's replacement of the bean dregs-eating pigs with pigs from other villages, so there was nothing to ask from him.
Li was looking around at Lin Tieniu's house before leaving. He didn't go back to his house immediately, but waited for Lin Tieniu's return not far from Lin Tieniu's house.
He had to consider how to deal with Lin Tieniu. He had watched the child grow up, and he was not a bad-hearted person. How could he make such a mistake.
Lin Xiazhi heard about Lin Tieniu's family background from Li Xiu, and had some guesses in her heart, but she didn't say it in front of Li Xiu, only said that she was waiting for the news from Lizheng.
Apart from the problems with Lin Tieniu's pigs, Li Xiu and Yang Yusheng were still a little worried: "Brother Xia, you said that we are going to collect so many pigs this year, how can the family have time to kill the pigs and cut the pork?"
Yang Yusheng took out the paper he had calculated: "That's right, this year the village raised a total of more than 300 pigs, and each pig can have more than 180 catties of pure meat and more than 30 catties of ribs after bloodletting and evisceration. Piles of internal organs and pig blood, it takes too much time to prepare and make food, how can we deal with these.”
