The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

"Who wants to learn embroidery?" Boss Wu suspected that he had heard it wrong. It wasn't the young brother in front of him who was learning it, was it him?That old man who is almost 40 years old?

Li Xiu didn't go out to do much work during this time, and Lin Xiazhi bought the ointment to maintain his face and hands. Although his skin became much smoother, his complexion was still dark. Years of hard work made him look older than his peers.

"Yes, you heard that right, I am the one who wants to learn." Lin Xiazhi confirmed Boss Wu's conjecture.

In fact, Li Xiu is only 36 years old this year. In Lin Xiazhi's opinion, she is still very young. In modern times, many people of this age are still unmarried.

Although Boss Wu was very surprised, he finally agreed to the exchange condition that Lin Xiazhi said. Anyway, he only taught one person to learn embroidery, and the time was limited to one month. No matter how old or young, he could learn as much as he could.

The method of making head flowers has become a condition of exchange for learning embroidery. Jinxiu Garden is still willing to accept the head flowers made by Li Xiu and the others, and agrees to buy them at a price of 25 Wen.

After talking about learning embroidery, Li Xiu stayed in Jinxiu Garden in a daze and began to teach Brother Xiu in Jinxiu Garden to make head flowers.

Speaking of it, it is not difficult to make a haircut, but some tricks can make the hairdo look better, some are thought of by Lin Xiazhi, and some are pondered by Li Xiu himself.

Li Xiu was born with the ability to make hairdos look better. The hairdos made by those embroiderers who learned how to make them still looked a bit rigid, only Wu Fulang's finished products were more flexible.

The same is true for embroidery. During the process of teaching Li Xiu embroidery, Wu Fulang discovered Li Xiu's talent.

Ordinary people have to draw patterns before embroidery, but after Li Xiu has mastered the basic embroidery skills, she can make the same embroidery as long as she looks at the embroidery next to her, and she can even do better in color matching.

Wu Fulang is not narrow-minded, he thinks that Li Xiuxiu is very good, so he lowers his dignity to ask her. Li Xiu does not hide his secrets, and tells Wu Fulang some of his experiences, which benefits Wu Fulang a lot.

The two established a friendship during the one-month teaching, and later often discussed embroidery and patterns together.

Li Xiu is very eager to learn in Jinxiu Garden, and Lin Xiazhi's tofu is also very popular in Jufulou.

As the weather gets cooler, the demand for jelly is decreasing and the demand for tofu is increasing day by day. The family's income has not decreased but increased.

The agreed price of Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu's tofu is seven cents per catty. Now they need thirty catties a day, which is 210 cents. It seems that the demand will increase in the future.

Tofu has become the signature dish of Jufulou, and its reputation has gradually spread. Many businessmen detour to come to Jufulou in Jiangning County to taste tofu.

One catty of soybeans can make three catties of tofu, and one mu of land harvested three hundred catties of soybeans, which can be used up in a month, so purchasing soybeans must be put on the agenda.

Soybeans are not like sweet potatoes that can be used as a staple food. Ordinary people who eat too much soybeans are prone to indigestion. In Jingguo, soybeans can basically only be squeezed for oil, so the villagers don’t grow much, so it’s hard to find them to buy in large quantities.

At this time, the second bedroom of the Lin family also became aware of the fact that the second room of the Lin family supplied goods to Jufulou in the county town.

On weekdays, I didn't see the two men from the Lin family going to the county town to find part-time workers. Every day, Lin Chengzu would bring a lot of things to the county in a bullock cart, and hire people to move things to Jufulou.

Rumors gradually spread in the village that Li Xiu went back to the village after finishing her embroidery studies and basically stayed at home to do embroidery work. Besides tending the fields, Lin Huzi grinded beans and sweet potatoes at home, and Lin Chengzu only went out to deliver goods in the morning.

Because the people in Lin Erfang didn't go out very much, and it was not easy for them to go to people's homes to ask, so the family didn't know that they had become the object of curiosity of the villagers.

When everyone talks about the second bedroom of the Lin family, they mostly have good intentions. It is not easy for the second bedroom to separate. Now they have a big restaurant like Jufulou, because they have the ability.

But the main house doesn't think so. Under the instigation of Uncle Lin, old man Lin and youngest Lin think that the second room's ability to deliver goods to Jufulou must have something to do with the main house. Tell the matter, otherwise the two acres of land will be taken back.

Uncle Lin's wishful thinking was well planned, but Erfang didn't know that Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzu were about to go out to buy soybeans.

There are many soybean shops in the county, and Lin Xiazhi was going to ask Lin Xiaoxuefu's family's Sun's grain shop. For this reason, he deliberately put on an old clothes outside.

The Sun Family Food shop is located on a street next to the downtown area, and there is not too much traffic. The Sun family bought two shops and a small courtyard behind them. The area is not small, but the Sun family has a large population. There are the old couple of the Sun family, the eldest son and his wife, and two young grandsons. The small courtyard is full and there is no room for goods, so they can only build an attic in the shop to store food.

Today, the shopkeeper was Fu Lang, the eldest son of the Sun family. Although he had been to the Lin family when Sun Ershao married Lin Xiaoxue, he had no impression of the Lin family's second wife, and did not recognize Lin Chengzu and his brother at all.

"Is there anything you two want to buy?" The autumn harvest was just recently, and the business in the shop was deserted. When he saw a customer coming, Fu Lang, the eldest son of the Sun family, greeted him warmly.

"We want to buy some soybeans." Lin Xiazhi asked timidly, pretending to be a country bumpkin.

"I'm going to use soybeans to extract oil. Our soybeans cost four cents a catty. Come and take a look." Fu Lang, the eldest son of the Sun family, saw that the two brothers were not well dressed, and guessed with his eyes rolling twice.

Pork is [-] cents a catty. If you buy fat pork and boil oil, you can’t get a catty of oil for a catty of meat. You can get more than two taels of oil for a catty of soybeans. You can buy a catty of soybean oil for five catties of soybeans. It's only fifteen cash, and some people in the countryside can't afford lard, so they eat cheaper soybean oil.

Lin Xiazhi didn't answer what he was doing when he bought the soybeans. He went to look at the soybeans displayed in the shop and asked, "These soybeans are from last year, right?"

The beans didn't look plump and round enough. Lin Xiazhi looked through the buried ones, and found that one or two still had signs of being eaten by insects.

Hearing Lin Xiazhi's words, Fu Lang, the eldest son of the Sun family, also knew that he could not sell at a high price, so he leaned into Lin Xiazhi's ear and lowered his voice, "Brother, then I will give you half a copper coin, three per catty." Half copper plate, what do you think?"

Lin Xiazhi looked at Fu Lang, the eldest son of the Sun family, in embarrassment, and acted as if he had been hesitant before deciding to say: "Brother, I am actually Brother Xue's cousin, do you think you can give us a better deal? "

"Brother Xue? Are you talking about my younger brother?" Fu Lang, the eldest son of the Sun family, frowned and looked at Lin Xiazhi carefully.

Looking at it, I found that Lin Xiazhi and Lin Xiaoxue were indeed somewhat similar, but Lin Xiazhi was too thin, so I didn't notice it at first.

Fu Lang, the eldest son of the Sun family, doesn't like Lin Xiaoxue. He thinks that Lin Xiaoxue is lazy and work-for-nothing. The country brother still regards himself as a young master. The work in the shop is fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. The eldest son of the Sun family, Fu Lang, is not easy to get along with. Although he hasn't broken his face with Lin Xiaoxue yet, he is not very polite to Lin Xiaoxue.

Lin Chengzu saw that the eldest son of the Sun family, Fu Lang, looked unhappy, so he deliberately amplified his voice and continued: "Our Lin family has separated, and the family only has two acres of dry land. We really have no money in our hands. Second Young Master Sun's Fu Lang is my cousin. , since we are relatives, can you sell us soybeans at a lower price?"

Just now, a few regular customers of the Sun family came in to buy food, and they were very curious to hear Lin Xiazhi's words. People these days don't have much entertainment, they just like to listen to gossip from this family or that family.

The guests asked questions in one go, but Lin Xiazhi chose some answers, making the second room very pitiful.

Seeing Lin Xiazhi's thin and thin figure, and Lin Chengzu acting as a simple and honest farmer, others believed Lin Xiazhi's words and persuaded the eldest son of the Sun family, Fu Lang, to be cheaper.

The eldest son of the Sun family, Fu Lang, felt tightness in his chest. His father-in-law set the price of the family's grain, so how could he alone, Fu Lang, make decisions at will.

Fu Lang, the eldest son of the Sun family, felt that since it was Lin Xiaoxue's relatives who caused the matter, let him come out to solve it, so he simply went to the backyard and called Lin Xiaoxue out.

Lin Xiaoxue lived a good life in Sun's house, without the wind and sun, everyone saw that he was wearing muslin clothes that were probably new, and he was almost the same as brother Lin Xiazhi.But if you look closely, you can still see that the facial features of Lin Xiaoxue, Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzu are somewhat similar.

Although Lin Xiaoxue has been married into Sun's family for almost a year, he spends little time looking at the store, and the customers are not familiar with him. In addition, Lin Xiazhi explained the family situation clearly in a few words, and everyone present felt that Lin Xiazhi was pitiful. .

Lin Xiaoxue was smart, he pinched himself to squeeze out some tears, stepped forward and hugged Lin Xiazhi: "Poor brother, so many things happened in my family after I got married."

Lin Xiazhi also cooperated with him and shed tears, and kept complaining in his heart, why he couldn't dress up as a man, my brother and so on are really annoying.

After the two brothers cried for a while, Lin Xiazhi said pitifully to the eldest son of the Sun family, Fu Lang, "Brother, I will pay for ten catties of soybeans for my younger brothers, please help me weigh them."

Lin Xiaoxue took out 35 copper coins from the small treasury, her heart ached to the point of bleeding, and she wanted to act like a good brother: "Brother Xia, you take soybeans to the oil mill to squeeze oil, so you can nourish your body."

When the onlookers saw this, they all praised Lin Xiaoxue for being kind to his younger brother. Only Fu Lang, the eldest son of the Sun family who knew Lin Xiaoxue's character, was disdainful.

The two Lin Erfang brothers left with ten catties of soybeans on their backs without spending any money, leaving Lin Xiaoxue with a lot of trouble in the Sun family.

Cheng Chengzu watched the whole process, feeling like he didn't know his brother anymore.

Lin Xiazhi waved his hand and didn't take it seriously, he just wanted to disgust Lin Xiaoxue, who told him to take the second son of the Sun family to the thatched cottage to show off his might.

After going around more than half of the county, Lin Xiazhi and the others came to another shop selling grain.

Now the Lin family provides [-] catties of tofu to Jufulou a day. When the weather gets colder and the vegetables decrease, and the popularity of tofu grows, the demand for tofu will also increase. Lin Xiazhi is going to sign a contract with the Daliang shop in the county to buy and sell soybeans , so that you don't have to worry about out of stock, and you can keep the price down.

Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzu found an empty corner to take off their old clothes, and walked around twice before going to the grain store called Liangmancang.

The store of Granary Mancang is more than twice the size of Sun's, and the goods are more complete. There is also a special place to display vegetable seeds. In addition to the shopkeeper, there are two strong guys in the store.
