A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

After paying, the waiter and the driver worked together to load the cow onto the mule cart. The meat had been dismembered and divided into pieces. It was called half a cow, but in fact it did not have the internal organs, head, tail, etc.

"Mom, we have beef to eat tonight!"

Lin Xiaomi looked at the pile of meat refrigerated outside the yard and smiled. Braised beef, stir-fried beef, shabu-shabu beef, boiled beef, spicy beef, beef jerky, all were arranged.

It would be even better if there were offal, such as braised beef liver, tripe, and beef intestines, which are all good things.

Wang was amazed when she saw so much meat. How could she finish it?

Beef is rare, so Lin Xiaomi doesn’t think it’s too much at all. Even if it is made into jerky, there won’t be much left.

Lin Dashan thought for a moment and said, "Let's add some beef to the New Year gift for Dad and his family, so they can have a taste of the new season."

"How much?"

"Ten kilograms, maybe. When we visit each other for the New Year, my mother-in-law and uncle should also bring ten kilograms each."

Wang, who was originally somewhat unhappy, disappeared completely when she heard that her mother's family also had it.

Lin Dashan wanted to share it because he thought that no one had ever eaten it, so he wanted to let everyone have a taste. It was not easy for him to eat it at such an old age, but it was also a way of filial piety on his part.

Lin Xiaomi calculated in her mind that she would have to lose 60 to 70 kilograms, and her heart ached, but her father had already asked her to do so, so she couldn't say no.

For dinner, they had stir-fried beef and boiled beef. The kitchen cooked according to Xiaomi's instructions. The beef was very tender and spicy. Lin Dashan was very satisfied with it.

Xiaomi also eats half a bowl of rice more than usual. These two things are really great to go with rice.

"The taste of beef is just delicious. It doesn't have the muttony smell of lamb, and it's not as rough as pork. No wonder those rich people love to eat it." Wang was also reluctant to eat enough. She was pregnant and didn't dare to eat too much because it was too spicy.

"The cooking skills of our small kitchen are getting better and better." Lin Xiaomi said with emotion.

At first, they were reluctant to add ingredients to anything, but after several rounds of supervision and guidance from her, they gradually began to add seasonings. With just a little guidance from her, they could make the finished product she wanted.

"Indeed, this beef is so delicious, no wonder it is not taken away. It is monopolized by the rich families in the city." Lin Dashan sighed. After eating this, he didn't know when he would be able to eat it again.

Lin Xiaomi: ...

Her family has money now, but no power. She doesn't know anyone except the Han family. How can she gain social status? Imperial examination? She looked at Lin Dashan and immediately shook her head to dispel her unrealistic idea. It would be more practical for her to train her younger brother than to let his father take the imperial examination.

........................

Rice cakes were selling well every day. Brother Lin Fugui and his wife happily returned home and saw their father sitting in the main room, smoking a pipe, and their mother sitting next to him, with the door wide open. The children were nowhere to be found, and none of them came out.

It's so cold, why aren't you in your room? Even if you're in the living room, you should close the door and light a charcoal stove. What's going on?

"Mom and Dad, what's going on?"

Patriarch Lin had an unpleasant look on his face and knocked his pipe on the ground.

Fugui Niang sighed and said with a sad face, "Today those families came to make trouble again. At first they begged for mercy, but then they started to curse directly, saying that your father had colluded with the head of the village to cut off their livelihood. Those old women even sat on the snow and refused to get up, saying that they couldn't afford to eat at home, and if they wanted to starve to death, they would starve to death in our house."

"Here you are making trouble again. What does the village head say?"

These were the families who refused to sell rice cakes at that time, and two of them were notorious for being bad people in the village. Only his parents were at home, and he was afraid that the two elderly people would suffer.

"The village chief was thinking of adding a few more families. It's unreasonable for them to be left behind in a job that the whole village is doing. But the third uncle said that this business cannot be opened. They gave up voluntarily in the beginning, and there's no reason to add more. It's hard to explain to the villagers. As the village chief, we can't go back on our word. Let's just let this go. Can we still keep our word in the village in the future?"

Fugui nodded. The village head uncle was a soft-hearted person who always wanted to please everyone and had no opinions at all when doing things.

"What does Dad mean?"

"I also think they can't be counted in. No matter how much they make a fuss, they have given up. It doesn't make sense to come in just because they see the benefits. If we lose money, will they still be like this today? They are just jealous of the money we can make."

"Dad is right, but uncle head of the village..." He had to hold on. If he gave in, it would be useless no matter how tough they were.

"Your Third Uncle scolded the head of the village today. I guess he doesn't dare to ask them to join."

That's good.

“Then Dad, you are…” It’s been dealt with, why are you still so angry?

"When those people saw that their plans were not going well, they started to make indirect accusations at our doorstep, and I just chased them away with a broom." The clan leader's wife was still indignant. The insults these people had made were too harsh.

"Are you bullying us because there's no one at home? Mom, I'll go find them!" The others also stood up immediately.

"Okay, come back, everyone has left, what are you still making a fuss about. Look what time it is, and the children haven't eaten yet. Mom, hurry up and cook. You guys should take a break too, don't pay attention to them, they are just jealous. During this time, you should work harder and run more, because making money is important." The patriarch stopped the children who were ready to move.

The clan leader knew that even if he went to make trouble, he would not be able to achieve anything, and would only be angry for nothing. Those families were not reasonable people, and it was impossible to argue with them.

Alas, Uncle San also said that if they have bad intentions and are harmful to the villagers, they should be driven out of Linjia Village. I hope they don’t do anything stupid.
