Chapter 238 Chapter Village
"You little greedy cat, you have gained weight in the past few days during the Chinese New Year. Check to see if your belt is tight again. If you still want to eat supper, is your skin itchy again? Be a vegetarian every day?" Cheng Fulang stared.
"Vegetarian dishes are not tasty." Cheng Luanjing muttered in a low voice, "I'm not a Taoist monk, so there's no reason to be a vegetarian every day."
"Shut up if you don't make sense, eat your meal well, and don't keep thinking about extra meals." Cheng Fulang looked at him resentfully.
When everyone had breakfast together the next morning, Cheng Luanjing asked Lin Xiazhi in a strange way: "Brother, the second brother said yesterday that you were not feeling well, but I think you are in good spirits today, did he deliberately not want you to eat dinner to lose weight?" ?”
Lin Xiazhi was embarrassed: "No, I didn't have a good rest on the boat two days ago, so I fell asleep when I came back."
"Brother, did you get up to eat last night?" Cheng Luanjing continued to ask.
"No, no, I slept until this morning." Lin Xiazhi pinched Cheng Wenliu's thigh under the table.
However, it is winter now, and the clothes are thick, no matter how hard Lin Xiazhi pinches, Cheng Wenliu will not feel much pain.
"Then you should eat more this morning to make up for what you didn't eat yesterday." Cheng Luanjing comforted Lin Xiazhi.
Lin Xiazhi laughed twice: "Okay."
Therefore, Lin Xiazhi, who usually could only eat a bowl of porridge, two steamed buns, and two fried dumplings, ate a bowl of porridge and two extra fried dumplings under the enthusiasm of Cheng Luanjing, which made him unable to support himself.
After breakfast at Cheng's house, Cheng Wenliu promised Lin Chengzu yesterday to take Lin Xiazhi back to Lin's Village, and they set off from Cheng's house with the gifts they had prepared.
Going back to Lin's Village at this time is equivalent to delaying the return home in the second year of junior high school, but fortunately, the Cheng family had already given the Lin family an annual gift before, so this time there was no need to be so formal.
A carriage is enough for people and gifts. The gifts are mainly some local specialties, accessories, cloth and some small things that Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu bought in Qilang City.
Lin Xiazhi didn't plan to stay all day when they returned home this time, they went back after lunch.
After all, everyone has just come back, and both Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu have a lot of things on their hands.
While cooking in the kitchen, Yang Yusheng pulled Lin Xiazhi aside and whispered between married husband and wife: "Brother Xia, you and Wen Liu have also been married for several months, is there any movement in your stomach?"
Many husbands have asked this question during the Chinese New Year, and Lin Xiazhi also answered it countless times: "Not yet."
Lin Xiazhi's helpless expression made Yang Yusheng mistakenly think that he was also worried, so he quickly comforted him: "It's okay, you are still young, it is not easy for my brother to conceive, and there are many opportunities for you."
"Well, I know." Lin Xiazhi knew that if he showed that he was not in a hurry at this time, the people next to him would think that he was pretending not to care, and the more they advised him not to care too much, it would be better to accept everyone calmly. have nothing to say.
Yang Yusheng taught Lin Xiazhi a few tips that he found useful and could promote conception. Lin Xiazhi was speechless for a while, but he had to agree to show that he was listening carefully.
After telling the little story about the couple, Yang Yusheng talked about another thing: "Lin Chengyun, the little steward of Doufang, is pregnant, and the village has been talking about him these days."
"It's a good thing to be pregnant, what can I say?" Lin Xiazhi frowned, "By the way, is Lin Chengyun the first husband who got pregnant at Doufang?"
"Yes, it is because he is the first one, so the uncle is worrying about how to deal with it." Yang Yusheng lowered his voice, "I heard that some men are arguing not to let Lin Chengyun work in Doufang, saying that it is not safe for a pregnant brother to work in Doufang , It will also affect the work of other Doufang people, and some people say that my brother should be at home to support his husband and teach his children, and the outside things are done by men."
"What kind of nonsense is this? The pregnant brother is resting at home? The man must earn enough money for the family's expenses. Now our life in Linjiacun is just food and clothing. Do you still want to live a good life like this? There is something wrong with your brain!" Lin Xiazhi was very upset when he heard such words.
"Actually, we asked Hu Langzhong. Hu Langzhong said that doing light work in the first few months of pregnancy will not affect the fetus, but it will affect the work only when the belly is big in the last one or two months." Yang Yusheng was also a little upset, "some People say that because Brother Yun manages the Doufang well, and they are secretly jealous, so they say that Geer is pregnant and is not suitable for working, and they want to push Brother Yun out of the Doufang."
"What's their attitude, sir?"
"Li Zheng was worried that using a pregnant woman to work in Doufang would be risky, so he was inclined to let Brother Yun go home and rest for a while." Yang Yusheng frowned.
If, like Lin Chengyun, once pregnant, she can't work in Doufang, then Doufang can't recruit young brother-in-law, which violates Lin Xiazhi's original intention of letting her brother work in Doufang.
Lin Xiazhi felt that he could discuss the maternity leave system with Lizheng, but today is not enough time, so he will go back to Linjiacun after two days to make up his mind about maternity leave.
After talking about Lin Chengyun for a while, Lin Xiazhi gave Yang Yusheng the dim sum recipes he sorted out when he was in Liaotai County: "Brother, I just figured these out during this period of time. If you can make them, we will make them in There is a dim sum teahouse in the county town that is dedicated to entertaining brothers and husbands. Non-brothers and husbands are not allowed to enter. At that time, we can hold my brothers' poems, art exhibitions, tea parties, and provide friends with a place to display their talents. "
"Brother Xia, you have a good idea. This way, everyone will have a place to talk about things, and they don't need to stick to a certain family's back house." Yang Yusheng's eyes lit up.
Poetry, writing and literature have always seemed to be the unique rights of men, and there is no room for talented brothers to display their talents. Everyone does not pay attention to the opposite side of brothers.
Before Lin Xiazhi just wanted to open a shop similar to a milk tea shop. Today, after hearing about Lin Chengyun’s experience, he had other ideas in his mind. Literature can broaden people’s horizons and yearn for freedom. He wanted to try to wake up Brother Jing Guo’s heart. The longing for freedom, to liberate these brothers who were imprisoned in the back house.
Lin Xiazhi didn't tell Yang Yusheng his real plan, only said that they opened such a place for everyone to communicate and have fun.
In addition to talking to Yang Yusheng about this, Lin Xiazhi also approached Lin Chengzu to discuss with him about the tofu recipe for Uncle Lin's family.
Tofu is very important to the Lin family. It can be said that tofu has changed the fate of the Lin family. Lin Chengzu attaches great importance to tofu.
At the beginning, when Lin Xiazhi told the story, Lin Chengzu was very surprised, even a little angry, but after hearing Lin Xiazhi talk about his considerations, Lin Chengzu's attitude eased a lot. He didn't agree immediately, and only said that Lin Xiazhi should be careful. Think about it, don't make hasty decisions.
In fact, tofu was "invented" by Lin Xiazhi. If he really wanted to give the tofu recipe to Uncle Lin, it would be fine to give the recipe directly to Uncle Lin without going through Lin Chengzu. But now tofu has become one of the symbols of the Lin family. Xia Zhi hoped that Lin Chengzu could understand and support his decision.
After lunch, Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu returned to Jiangning County.
Cheng Wenliu went to Jufulou to deal with matters, and arranged the preparations for the membership system planned by him and Lin Xiazhi, while Lin Xiazhi went to see how many sheep eat more.
The business of eating more than one sheep is as hot as before. After checking the latest account book, Lin Xiazhi left and went to Piaoxiang Shili.
Ten Miles of Fragrance was as popular as ever, Lin Xiazhi still waited for Zhou Xiaozhu in the backyard for a long time before he was free.
This time, Lin Xiazhi talked to Zhou Xiaozhu about some of the things he thought about when he was in Liaotai County, including letting the servants of the Lin family who can make tofu follow Uncle Lin to work outside, and then use tofu to develop an industrial chain.
As well as the various foods that Piaoxiang Shili currently has, Zhou Xiaozhu asked someone to learn from Lin's family, and later opened a Piaoxiang Shili in the place where Uncle Lin worked.
What Lin Xiazhi did was equivalent to giving Zhou Xiaozhu all the tofu and various food recipes.
After hearing this, Zhou Xiaozhu resolutely refused: "Brother Xia, these prescriptions will be passed on to the Lin family in the future, not to mention your uncle, even I firmly disagree with learning the recipes."
"Uncle, you are also from the Lin family, why can't you learn?" Lin Xiazhi asked him back.
"Although they are all from the Lin family, we have already separated. These prescriptions belong to the second elder brother's family. If your uncle knows, he will only agree with my decision." Zhou Xiaozhu was very moved by the Lin family's prescriptions, but he would not Do that kind of shameless thing.
"Uncle, I asked you to take away the tofu recipes. I don't mean that tofu recipes can make money, but I hope more people can eat Lin's tofu." Lin Xiazhi slowly persuaded Zhou Xiaozhu. Whim.
"If you think about it, just one tofu is enough to bring such a big change to a place."
"To make tofu, you must have soybeans. Farmers can open up wasteland to plant soybeans. The leftover bean dregs from making tofu can be used to ferment and fertilize the fields, and can also be used to feed livestock. The livestock can be sold to restaurants. In addition, livestock manure can also be used to fertilize the fields. Fertile crops grow better."
"Not to mention anything else, just these can increase farmers' income from selling soybeans and livestock. Not to mention, to make tofu, you have to hire people, and you have to have people to make tofu molds and stone mills, and someone to transport and sell them. Let how many idle men find work after finishing the land?"
"These are just the benefits that we can see directly from tofu. There are also many benefits that are buried in the dark and cannot be seen in a short time, and will have long-term effects on the local people."
"Uncle, please tell Uncle these words, let's think about it together."
"As for the prescription of Ten Miles of Piaoxiang, in fact, I have long wanted to drive Piaoxiang Ten Miles to other places, just like Wenliu's Jufulou, but I have never been able to get it out. Now I have such an opportunity to put it away. In front of you, why not open Piaoxiang Shili as well, so that more people can eat our delicious food and bring satisfaction to everyone.”
