The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 220 Getting Started

Some people agree, and naturally some people oppose it.

"No, this is money from the village. How can someone borrow it? I don't agree."

"You old man, half of your body is buried in the soil, and you still value money so much."

"This is not my money, it is shared by our village."

After hearing Li Zheng's proposal to borrow money from the ancestral hall, the villagers expressed their opinions one after another.

Lin Xiazhi watched them discuss fiercely, and helped Lin Tieniu and the old grandmother who were still kneeling on the ground: "Old grandmother, the ground is getting cooler, Uncle Tieniu, don't be confused again in the future."

"Thank you Mr. Cheng for not caring. The youngest son will definitely discipline this unworthy son." The old grandma thanked Lin Xiazhi a thousand times.

Lin Tieniu felt ashamed to face Lin Xiazhi, and wished he could dig a hole in the ground and bury himself in it, so that he wouldn't have to face everyone's contemptuous eyes.

Lin Xiazhi thought that his family had to kill more than a dozen pigs every day and needed help, so he invited Lin Tieniu: "Uncle Tieniu, I just said that you will not be allowed to get tofu at Lin's house for the time being, so don't go out during this time. Come to my house to butcher a pig, and you will be paid one hundred copper coins a day, including a lunch."

"What, what?" Lin Tieniu almost bit his tongue, he heard right just now, right?

The old lady also looked surprised. Just now, Brother Xia said that he wanted to hire his Tieniu to work in the Lin family?

I thought that after losing the money for raising pigs and not being able to buy tofu from the Lin family and sell them, their family would not have a good year this year, but who would have thought that Brother Xia would actually ask their iron cow to do things, so that not only can Making money can also reduce some villagers' opinions on Tieniu.

"Brother Xia, I, I really am." Old Ah Mo spoke incoherently, and then he slapped Lin Tieniu on the head, "Quickly kneel down and kowtow to Mrs. Cheng."

Lin Tieniu heard his aunt's words, immediately knelt down, and gave Lin Xiazhi a few solid kowtows.

"Uncle Tieniu, old man, you don't have to do this, we are all in the same village, we should help each other." Lin Xiazhi hurriedly helped Lin Tieniu up.

This incident sounded a wake-up call for him. He had to find a way to make the Lin family have dignity in the village and someone who was determined to work for the Lin family.

Lin Tieniu's family has a simple population, and he just made an impromptu plan to win them over.

Let Lin Tieniu work in the Lin family, let Lin Tieniu's family be grateful to the Lin family, and the Lin Tieniu family will be in the hands of the Lin family in the future.

Even if Lin Xiazhi is not at home, Lin Tieniu can pay attention to every move of the villagers in the village and be the eyeliner of the Lin family.

Lin Xiazhi wooed Lin Tieniu, while Lizheng had a heated discussion on whether the money from the ancestral hall could be lent to the villagers at will.

Seeing that you can't convince me, and I can't convince you, the villagers are about to fight.

Lin Xiazhi came to Lizheng's side and said loudly: "From today, our Lin family will start collecting pigs from each household. Later, my servants will go to everyone's house to inform you of the specific time to collect pigs. Please do a good job, uncles." Prepare."

If everyone gets Lin Xiazhi's words, if you pay attention, the money from the ancestral hall will be transferred to your own pigs.

After the pigs in the pigsty were sold to the Lin family, they became vain money, which could be kept in their own hands, unlike the money in the ancestral hall, which could only be put in the ancestral hall for everyone to use.

Lin Xiazhi relieved Lizheng, and Lizheng smiled gratefully at him. He did not expect that everyone would pay so much attention to the temporary proposal just now. If there are any new rules in the future, he should discuss with the clan elders before notifying the village, so as not to mess like today.

Li Zheng took the opportunity to persuade everyone to go back and see if there is any problem with their pigs, and report any problems to the village immediately, so that the Lin family will not find out when they collect the pigs.

After hearing this, the villagers dispersed and went back to their respective homes. What happened to Lin Tieniu today, the Lin family will definitely check when collecting pigs. They have to look at their own pigs.

"Master, my family is going to hire Uncle Tieniu to help butcher the pigs. Let's sell his pigs to the butcher. He will keep the money for this pig. The money from the previous sale of the pig will be given to the ancestral hall. What do you think?" ?” Lin Xiazhi approached Li to discuss what to do with the pigs and money exchanged.

The pigs in the outer village were sure that the Lin family could not use them in sausages and had to sell them.

After listening to Lin Xiazhi's method, Lizheng felt that it was feasible. In this way, Lin Tieniu worked hard to feed the pigs this year, because he was punished for being greedy for a while and losing money.

The Lin family doesn't accept such pigs, and the bean dregs come from the village's bean workshop, so there should be no dispute that the money from selling pigs should be given to the ancestral hall.

It's just that the handling of Lin Tieniu can only be decided after Lizheng discusses it with the clan elders, and it is impossible to give a definite reply now.

On the way back, Tongli Lin Xiazhi said that he wanted to rent an open space in the village to butcher pigs, and he also wanted to borrow the village's well.The rent of one hundred copper coins per village per day is used as compensation for the occupation of wells and land.

This matter was not difficult, and Lizheng agreed without hesitation, saying that he would let Wei Fulang notify every household later, and everyone should not use that vacant land.

After Lin Xiazhi told Tong Lizheng about his affairs, he didn't stay outside much.Ask Lin Tieniu to go back with old Ah Mo first, change into clean clothes by the way, and go to Lin's house later to prepare for slaughtering pigs.

Lin Xiazhi returned home and told Li Xiu and Yang Yusheng what happened while he was away, and that he hired Lin Tieniu to help the family kill pigs on his own initiative.

Li Xiu listened to what Lin Xiazhi said, and used a handkerchief to suppress the tears from the corners of her eyes. Lin Tieniu's family was really pitiful, so it would be no problem to let him come to the house to butcher pigs.

Yang Yusheng understood what Lin Xiazhi meant, so he pulled Lin Xiazhi out and whispered a few words.

When Lin Xiazhi and Li Xiu went out, Yang Yusheng had already assigned the pig slaughterer for each day, and just now he asked someone to go to the villagers' homes to inform them.

Today was only half a day, and it was the first day to slaughter pigs, so he planned to slaughter only five pigs. It happened that Zhou's family raised five pigs, so Yang Yusheng chose their family.

After a while, more than a dozen husbands from the village that Li Xiu invited to help arrived. They all brought their own kitchen knives and cutting boards, waiting to work, and assigned the number of people who cut meat, seasoned and enema.

The Zhou family washed the pigs before driving them out of the pigsty at home. Five fat pigs weighing more than 300 catties had to be pulled together by a dozen young and strong men from the Zhou family.

The five pigs brayed together, and the sound could be heard from far away. The villagers who didn't kill pigs at home also came out to watch the fun.

"Kill your pigs today. Our pork chops are on the tenth day. I'll see if I can fatten them up, haha."

"These pigs are screaming really energetic, and you can tell that they should eat well in your house."

"My family has only one pig. I don't think it is as strong as your pig. Is it possible that the more pigs you raise, the happier they will eat together?"

The pigs in the family are well raised, and the smiles on the faces of the men of the Zhou family are full of energy. They all walk with their heads held high, and they happily answer everyone's words.

"The first pig, tie it to the foot and weigh it." Zhao Da stood in front of the special scale and asked Zhou's family to tie the pig.

Pig fat has great strength, and it struggled non-stop when it was tied. Five men from the Zhou family stepped up together to subdue the fat pig, placing the two front hooves and the rear hooves respectively.

"The first one, 320 pounds."

With the first one, the next is the second, the third...

"The second one, 340 catties."

"The third one, 330 six catties."

"The fourth one, 310 nine catties."

"The fifth one, 320 seven catties."

"Five pigs total 640 and 350 catties. One catty of hairy pigs counts as 49 Wen, and the total is 350 Wen, which is [-] taels of silver and [-] copper coins. Who will collect the money?" Zhao Da dialed twice. Abacus, take out the silver.

"I'll take it." Zhou Dayong stepped forward with a smile.

He tied the pig just now and washed his hands aside, before he had the nerve to stand in front of the brightly dressed Zhao Da to collect the money.

49 The taels of silver were put in a small cloth bag, and the copper coins were also counted one by one, and the contract between the Zhou family and the Lin family was signed and stamped, indicating that the two families paid for both money and goods.

After the pigs were collected, the butcher who came to slaughter the pigs and Lin Tieniu who helped them were also in place. First, the second fattest pig was tied up and slaughtered.

Being fat is also a sin, and you will be the first to kill and eat meat.

The pig squealed louder than before. Among the surrounding villagers, some timid husbands dared not look at it. They closed their eyes and blocked their ears with their hands.

The pig butcher was very experienced, and he quickly killed the five fat pigs. He also helped to divide the pork into pieces, so that it would not be difficult for Franc and his weaklings to cut them.

Five pigs, Fu Lang and his team were very busy. Under the guidance of the servants of the Lin family who made sausage and bacon last year, they first cut out the pork used to make cured pork ribs and bacon, and then cut the remaining clean meat into small pieces.

At this time, the husbands were divided into three parts. Some continued to cut the meat, while others smeared the cured ribs and bacon with sauce, and the rest washed the pig intestines with hot water by the well, tore off the casings and waited. For stuffing sausages.

On the first day, under the arrangements of Yang Yusheng and Li Xiu, the five pigs were successfully disposed of.

The pig's blood was distributed to the villagers who came to watch on the spot, and the offal of the pig was washed and marinated in the big pot of Lin's family.

Because today is the first day of work, Li Xiu decided to give one pig head to the pig butcher, three pig heads to Fu Lang who came to help, and the remaining one to take home for dinner tonight.

Lin Xiazhi was going to have dinner at the Lin's house before returning to Jiangning County. Before the Lin's dinner started, Cheng Wenliu came to find him.

"Brother Xia, I heard from Ah Ma that you went back to the village today to make sausages and bacon, and you haven't returned at this time, so he sent me to pick you up." Cheng Wenliu went into the house and saw that they were still settling accounts.

"Wen Liu is here. It's hard for you to come here. Let's go back after dinner at home." Li Xiu put down the account book in her hand and warmly invited Cheng Wenliu.

"Okay, I smelled the smell of stewed pork as soon as I entered the door. Today's stewed pork smells so good, it makes me hungry." Cheng Wenliu sat down politely, picked up the snacks on the small table and started to eat.
