Chapter 102
The matter of Lin Dabao has completely become a joke in the village, and even Lin Xiaoxue has changed from an object of envy to a resource for gossip. Fortunately, old man Lin has to rest at home, otherwise if he goes out and hears these words, he will not know how to get angry what kind.
Lin Xiazhi also convinced Uncle Lin and Liu Chunhua. They didn't discipline Lin Dabao for doing such an outrageous thing. They only deducted his pocket money and forbade him to play truant again.
From Lin Xiazhi's point of view, whether he plays truant or not, and whether he has pocket money is not the key point. Lin Dabao's going to the gambling house should be because of a problem with his friends. , Fortunately, the family is separated, and the accident of the first room has little effect on the second room.
Later, Lin Chengzong went home and told everyone that his husband transferred Lin Dabao to Class D. Lin Dabao was dissatisfied and wanted to play truant. After his truancy and going to a gambling house were known by his husband, he did not teach him a lesson, but only said that he would be in the future. If you play truant, ask your parents, and if you can't, let him drop out of school. Private schools can't teach such students.
Mrs. Wei is a very responsible person. Normally speaking, if a student makes a mistake, he will strictly discipline him, but his behavior this time is obviously to give up Lin Dabao as a student. Let him go home a long time ago, I heard that Mrs. Wei will not take Lin Dabao again next year.
People in the village like to gossip together when they have nothing to do, and there are always new things to attract everyone's attention. The incident of Lin Dabao going to the gambling house has gradually subsided in the village.
Before Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Huzi to germinate the rice, the two-acre medium-sized paddy field at home was plowed carefully several times by Lin Huzi and the cowboy, and the next day he went to water the fermented bean dregs. It is no worse than the first-class paddy fields.
The rice seedlings had grown to be a little higher than the palm of the hand. Lin Xiazhi felt that it was almost done, so he opened his golden finger to check the state of the rice seedlings.
If you don't look at it, you don't know it. If you look at it, there is a change in the golden finger.
Lin Xiazhi hasn't opened his golden finger for almost two months. Since Lin Xiazhi made himself faint when he built a vegetable greenhouse last time, and was ordered to lie on the bed by his family, he has never used his golden finger to look at plants and take good care of his body. .
This time, the rice seedlings described by Goldfinger are not limited to types, conditions and suggestions as before. This time, there is an extra "grade" in small green characters.
"Type: One rice crop per year (can be upgraded to two crops per year), Status: Nurturing seedlings, Grade: High-yielding fine seed, Suggestion: Topdressing, planting a large number of seedlings."
"Type: One rice crop per year (can be promoted to two crops per year), Status: Seedling cultivation, Grade: High-yield common plant, Suggestion: Top dressing, mass planting."
"Type: One rice crop per year (can be upgraded to two crops per year), Status: Seedling cultivation, Grade: Medium-yielding common variety, Suggestion: Topdressing, can increase yield."
"Type: One rice crop per year (can be upgraded to two crops per year), Status: Seedling cultivation, Grade: Medium-yielding dwarf variety, Suggestion: Topdressing, can increase yield."
"Type: one crop of rice per year (it can be promoted to two crops per year), status: under seedling cultivation, grade: low-yield and inferior species, suggestion: do not plant."
……
How did this golden finger see that these rice seedlings have the potential to be promoted to double rice crops a year?Lin Xiazhi felt that he was in a mess in the wind.
He originally planned to experiment with twice-cropping rice a year by himself. Since Golden Finger can assist him, things should be relatively easy for him in the future.
But now he is more interested in Goldfinger's descriptions of grades. These descriptions made him think of hybrid rice, what about high-yield, middle-yield, low-yield, and good, common, and bad varieties?
Not knowing whether Goldfinger's judgment was accurate, Lin Xiazhi and Lin Huzi divided the germinated rice into several types according to their grades.
Because the rice seeds Lin Xiazhi bought were of the best kind, and twice as many seeds were used for germination. The high-yield fine varieties and high-yield common varieties were each selected for half an acre of land, and the middle-yield common varieties and middle-yield dwarf varieties were also selected. Half an acre of land was selected, and the remaining middle-yield seeds and inferior seeds were discarded.
These selected rice seedlings are planted with different types of seeds separately to see the effect of the golden finger.
After distributing these rice seedlings, Lin Xiazhi felt hungry again, so he hurried to the kitchen to find something to eat to comfort his internal organs.
Lin Huzi looked at the rice seedlings that grew after germination, and felt very surprised in his heart. He is an old-fashioned way of growing crops, so he naturally knows that the survival rate of rice seedlings like this is very high when they are planted in the field.
The hypnosis of the Lin family was over, and it was time for spring plowing. The industrious people in the village had already begun to plow the ground and sow seeds. The paddy fields of the Lin family became a unique landscape at this time.
Other people's paddy fields were bare, but the rice seedlings in Lin's paddy field grew taller than the palm of one's hand overnight.
To be precise, it is not only the Lin family, but several families who have good friends with the Lin family, such as Lin Dashan, Lin Sishu, Tuesday Geng, Zhou Yong, etc., and their paddy fields are also the same.
It turned out that Lin Dashan and Lin Sishu's husband often went to Lin's house at the beginning, and overheard Li Xiu saying that Lin Xiazhi asked his father to do something to germinate the germination. The two families expressed their interest. After asking Lin Xiazhi, Lin Hu The son simply handed over the technology of germination to a few families with whom they had a good relationship, and they planted it if they wanted to, and let it go if they didn’t want to.
It's just that their family was late for a day or two. The Lin family's paddy field was the first to plant rice seedlings, and it was the first to attract attention.
This is terrible. Some villagers saw that the paddy field of the Lin family looked like this, and privately spread that the people of the Lin family knew magic, and the more it spread, the more evil it became. They said that the reason why the Lin family suddenly became rich was because their people learned magic. Able to turn soy milk into tofu.
In fact, some sane people don't believe it. Although they don't know how tofu is made, the bean curd sticks in Doufang are made by villagers, and it's not magic.
After Lin Xiazhi heard the rumors in the village, he asked Lin Chengzu to carry a jug of wine to Lizheng's house to chat.
Naturally, Li Zheng didn't believe that the Lin family had any kind of messy magic, spells, or sorcery, but the rumors in the village were getting more and more outrageous, and he was about to take care of them.
Lin Chengzu told Li Zheng why the rice seedlings in his paddy field were abnormal.Only then did Lizheng know that Lin Xiazhi and Lin Huzi had germinated the rice seedlings growing overnight at home, so that the rice would mature earlier and grow stronger.
But because I don't know if it will be successful, I only try to grow it in my own home and a few other better families.Lin Chengzu quietly told Lizheng that if they succeed this year, they can popularize it in the village next year and help everyone increase their income.
Lin Chengzu's words surprised Li Zheng. Increasing the yield of crops is one of the most important things for farmers. No matter who they are, they have to eat. The more food they grow in the field, the more peace of mind the farmers will naturally have.
But Lin Chengzu also said that this is just an experiment. I don't know if it will be successful, and I asked Li Zheng to help keep it secret, don't tell it in advance, and if it doesn't work, everyone won't be so disappointed.
Li was in charge of a village, so he must understand this simple truth, so he agreed wholeheartedly.
When Lin Chengzu came to Lizheng's house, he didn't mention any gossip about their family, he only explained what happened to their paddy field and left.
That afternoon Wei Fulang called the gossiping husbands to Lizheng's house for a chat, and beat them up overtly and secretly.
Do you still want to do things with Doufang, go back and wipe your butt clean before coming back, gossip is disgusting, if you let him know that there is no end, you will have to consider things in the village in the future.
Although the Lin family was not mentioned, those who were called over knew what had happened, so of course they had to watch their mouths and ears carefully. If they really offended Li Zheng and the Lin family, they would have good fruit to eat.
Li Zheng didn't do anything, only Wei Fulang came forward to suppress those who spread rumors. After a day or two, there were naturally no voices that should not have been heard in the village.
It's just that when everyone saw that the rice of the Lin family and several other families was growing very well, and their own rice had just sprouted, they could only talk about things that could not be said in their hearts.
Soon it was the end of March, and the tofu shop had been open for a month. It could produce 700 catties of tofu every day. Excluding the cost of buying beans and firewood, the gross profit generated was almost [-] taels.
The four workers I found were helping in the tofu shop, and the wages added up were only nine taels of silver. Zhao Da and Zhao Dong’s monthly money was paid by the Lin family themselves, and it was not calculated at the tofu shop. After checking the account, Lin Xiazhi did not find Da Question, told Zhao Da a few precautions, and then rewarded each of them with a tael of silver.
The second tofu room has been built and will be ready to use next month. Lin Xiazhi deducted the cost of building the second tofu room from the profit in March, and bought a few servants to come back to specialize in the tofu room. In this way, only 700 taels of 300 taels of silver remained.
He sent 60 taels to the Cheng family, and the Lin family only took the remaining 240 taels.
In addition to the profit from the tofu shop, the backyard of the Lin family is still making sweet potato vermicelli and tofu nao, as well as sauerkraut and kimchi, and dozens of taels of silver come into the account every month.
Years later, Jufulou opened branches in Lishui County and another nearby county. This was unexpected for Lin Xiazhi. After all, fresh vegetables began to increase gradually after the beginning of spring. He originally thought that Jufulou needed sauerkraut. And the number of kimchi may decrease, but I didn't expect it to increase instead of decrease.
So, Zhao Nan looked at the donkey grinding the stone mill and Qian Shi lighting the fire. After inspecting Qian Shi's character, Lin Xiazhi taught him the skills of making sweet potato flour, tofu nao, sauerkraut, and kimchi, and asked him to except You can also go to the backyard to help with cooking. If you do well, you will be paid three taels of silver a month, and the little guy Zhao Nan also has half a tael.
These jobs are not too much, so no one else is allowed to come. It is enough for Zhao Nan, Qian Shi, and Lin Huzi to come to help occasionally.
Zhao Da and Zhao Dong were busy at the tofu shop, and Qian Shi and Zhao Nan were as busy as they were at the backyard of the Lin family.
When the first tofu house was built, the house for the servants of the Lin family began to be repaired. After the second tofu house was completed, the house for the servants was also repaired.Zhao Da's family moved in, Mr. Zhao lived in one room, Zhao Dong and Zhao Nan lived in one room.
In addition, Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Chengzu to buy twelve servants, ten young men aged fifteen or six, and two young brothers. The men worked in the tofu shop, and the brothers were in charge of their food and daily life.
Lin Xiazhi didn't ask them their names, but waited for them to get new names after they arrived at the Lin family. They all changed their surnames from Lin to become the Lin family's servants.
Only Zhao Da's family still used the previous name, which made their family even more grateful to the Lin family, and vowed to manage the tofu house well without any mistakes.
