The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Niu Fulang is also a person who knows how to do things. He has often come to the Lin family to chat since he learned how to be a pig in Lin Xiazhi's place, which made Lin Xiazhi understand a lot about the nature of the villagers.

Lin Xiazhi also reciprocated, telling Niu Fulang a lot of home cooking tips, and the relationship between the two families became more and more harmonious.

Not only Niu Fulang, but Lin Dashan's family, which is next to Lin Erfang's new house, all adult men have gone out to find part-time workers. Liu Fulang also often brings his husband Zhou Xing and his brother Lin Yun over to do needlework together. They all know the seriousness, and they will not casually run to the Lin family's backyard.

Lin Xiazhi felt that the house was too boring before, so they were welcome to chat, and it would be nice if there were more people talking and chatting lively.

Ever since Li Xiu learned embroidery in Jinxiu Garden, Lin Xiazhi was often dragged by him to do embroidery work. Li Xiu didn't know that there was a boy from the 21st century living in Xia Ge'er's body, and every time he saw Lin Xiazhi stumbling around Stitches are a headache.

Zhou Xing is different, he speaks softly, likes to do needlework, and has a bit of talent, so Li Xiu transfers his enthusiasm for teaching Brother Xia embroidery to Zhou Xing. Embroidery is beautiful.

Lin Xiazhi was very grateful to Zhou Xing when he saw that someone shared Li Xiu's attention on his needlework and finally got out of the sea of ​​suffering of needlework.

Lin Yun has a wild personality. He likes to run around in the mountains and plains. After getting acquainted with Lin Xiazhi, he learned that Lin Xiazhi also didn't like being locked up in the room. The two hit it off.

Now that there is no farm work in the afternoon, Liu Fulang, Niu Fulang, and Zhou Xing went to Lin Erfang’s new house to find Li Xiu to do needlework together, and sent the good ones to Jinxiu Garden for consignment. They are very satisfied to be able to sell money to subsidize their families, and to learn new tricks from time to time.

Lin Xiazhi and Lin Yun took the opportunity to sneak out to play.

They say they are going out to play, but in fact they both have to carry a basket on their backs. They will pick edible wild vegetables, mushrooms under withered grass, fungus on tree trunks, ripe wild fruits, etc. along the way.

They didn't wait for the shallow mountains near Linjiacun to be visited by them, and the first vat of sauerkraut Lin Xiazhi made was ready to eat. He opened the altar, smelled it, and tasted it again, confirming that the sauerkraut was made successfully.

When the weather became cold, it was not easy to go down to the river to catch fish, so Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Chengzu to go to the fish pond in the village to buy a large grass carp weighing three catties, and prepared to make sauerkraut fish.

Cut the fish into thin slices, marinate with egg liquid, rice wine, pepper powder, and salt, cut the sauerkraut into small pieces, chop the ginger, garlic, and dogwood, add the chopped seasoning after the oil is hot in the pan, stir fry a few times Add sauerkraut, star anise, and peppercorns, stir-fry until fragrant, add water, wait for the water to boil for a while, reduce the firepower, and put the fish fillets in. After the water in the pot boils again, it is ready.

The remaining fish bones and fish heads are served with tofu to make soup, which is not wasted at all. In addition, fresh vegetables are fried, and a hearty meal is completed.

The fish and sauerkraut were eaten clean by the family of five, and even the soup was wrapped with rice by Lin Huzi and Lin Chengzu.

"Hi~" Lin Chengzong put down the bowl and chopsticks and burped, feeling a little embarrassed.

Except for him, everyone else had enough to eat, and they all praised: "The pickled fish made by Brother Xia is really delicious, the fish is smooth and tender, the pickled vegetables and soup go well with rice, even Zong who doesn't like fish I'm full."

In fact, it’s not that Lin Chengzong doesn’t like fish. The main reason is that the fish at home used to be caught in the river by himself. They are small and have many thorns, so he easily gets stuck in his throat.But the pickled fish that Lin Xiazhi cooks is a big grass carp, which already has few spines, and the slices are very thin so there is no need to worry about spines.

"Brother, let's chop up all the cabbage in the field to make sauerkraut tomorrow, and our family will be able to make more money again." Lin Xiazhi was equally satisfied, the sauerkraut fish is really delicious.

After eating and drinking enough, Lin Xiazhi began to plan in his mind what other delicious things sauerkraut could do. The family could sell sauerkraut for a long time to make money, and he could sell recipes for one-time money. Thinking about it would be fun.

In addition to sauerkraut fish, there are also sauerkraut dumplings, sauerkraut steamed buns, sauerkraut stewed pork, sauerkraut stewed chicken, sauerkraut fried mutton, sauerkraut sauerkraut... sauerkraut is simply panacea, it is delicious with any meat, fried or stewed.It's a pity that there are no vermicelli, otherwise we can make pork sauerkraut vermicelli.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiazhi suddenly realized that since he can make jelly at home, why not try making vermicelli, which are all made from sweet potatoes. Now that the weather is getting colder, jelly is not selling well, so it would not be a good idea to replace it with vermicelli!

The next day Lin Chengzong brought back the tofu, and Lin Xiazhi took him to make sauerkraut, leaving a few large jars to wrap the ripe cabbage in his own field. Thinking that after a month, these could be exchanged for vain money, Lin Xiazhi laughed. You can see your teeth but not your eyes, and you are a little rich and deluded.

The number of kimchi jars at home has increased to 20, and all kinds of pickled food are very popular in Jufulou. The brick house built in the backyard is almost not enough to store it. Lin Xiazhi plans to expand the production of pickled cabbage to ten jars later. , a new brick house is imminent.

"Brother, let's order a few more jars in the afternoon, and buy some bricks to build three brick houses." Lin Xiazhi explained today's itinerary.

Lin Chengzu asked puzzledly: "Brother Xia, all the cabbage in our field has been made into sauerkraut, what are you doing after buying jars?"

"Brother, think about how popular our kimchi is. The supply of sauerkraut will definitely be in short supply. You need to prepare in advance. If your own cabbage is gone, you can collect cabbage from the villagers. If the cabbage from the villagers is gone, you can also collect cabbage from other villages Let’s double the price of cabbage and kimchi, and sauerkraut is also available. It’s winter, and it’s a good time to eat sauerkraut. You have to be early to make money, don’t wait.” Lin Xiazhi said earnestly.

"That's right, brother didn't expect it." Lin Chengzu quickly admitted his mistake. Indeed, their kimchi is often in short supply in Jufulou, "But last time, brother Xia, you said that we can't let that market be too saturated. If the guests of Jufulou often can’t eat, they will always want to go to Jufulou to eat, so that the business of Jufulou will be good, and our family’s business will also be good.”

"Brother, we don't supply enough kimchi to Jufulou because our place is so big, there are only a few people, and there are only so many kimchi that can be made. If there is no limit, the supply will soon run out." Lin Xiazhi patiently explained, "Besides, it is far from possible to saturate the market with the amount we make. You must know that besides Jiangning County, there are other counties, towns, and even Lishui County. Just go to those places for business.”

Ever since Lin Erfang started doing business, Lin Xiazhi has often advised Lin Chengzu on how to do business, trying to improve Lin Chengzu's vision and cultivate his business acumen. They all think of what to say.

"Sauerkraut is much more versatile than kimchi. Kimchi is used with porridge in the morning, or as an appetizer when eating, but sauerkraut can be used in the main course. In addition to sauerkraut fish, I also want Let’s make more sauerkraut recipes, and we’ll sell them to Jufulou when the time comes.”

It just so happened that Lin Xiazhi had just built a house and was in a bit of a bind, selling a few cookbooks, it would be safer to have money in his hands.

After talking about the business experience, Lin Xiazhi asked, "Brother, is the money saved by the family's business a while ago enough to buy a mule?"

Lin Xiazhi originally wanted to buy a cow, but considering that the cow can only help plow the land and pull goods, and his family does not have a large area of ​​land to cultivate for the time being, instead he uses a stone mill every day. Cattle are practical and cheaper.

"Wait, I'll take it out and have a look." After speaking, Lin Chengzu took out a small earthen pot from the corner of the room, which contained the money he had accumulated during this period of business.

Most of the small pottery pots are broken silver, pennies, and a whole string of copper coins, all of which are income from selling jelly, vegetables, and tofu.

Lin Chengzu himself was taken aback. He put the money in clay pots every day when he came back, not counting how much he earned.

Seeing this, Linxia Zhi frowned somewhat dissatisfied. He planned to let Lin Chengzu learn to keep accounts from tomorrow. After all, the family business needs to be done in the long run and bigger, so it can't be muddled.

A strong adult donkey is about 15 taels, plus a pair of donkey carts, the money in the clay pot is completely enough.

After dinner, Lin Chengzu and Lin Xiazhi went to the county seat together with the money from the family.

The jars and bricks are regular customers, and after paying the deposit, they wait for them to bring the goods to Linjiacun.

The donkey was going to be bought at the trading market in Jiangning County, and Lin Xiazhi hadn't been to Yuxi's group before.

The trading market is located in the southwest corner of Jiangning County. It not only sells various sizes of livestock, but also buys and sells people.This kind of place is often mixed with dragons and snakes, and it is easy to suffer without acquaintances to lead the way.

The calls of various livestock can be heard from a distance, and the special smell of some livestock penetrates into the nose when you get closer. Lin Xiazhi wrinkled his nose uncomfortably, and walked in.

The sound of selling was mixed with the sounds of livestock, and the trading market was very lively. Lin Chengzu and Lin Xiazhi walked around in it, and most of the livestock that the farmers could raise could be bought here.

When Lin Xiazhi was chatting with Uncle Liu before, he knew that it was best to find a middleman to help introduce him to the trading market for the first time. Although he had to give the middleman a part of the commission, it was not easy to be deceived.

There were many middle-aged people standing at the gate of the trading market. Lin Xiazhi found a man in his 40s and asked him to help him choose a strong donkey.

Donkeys, cows, and mules are big animals, and middlemen can earn more commissions from them, but the sale must be officially registered. If there is a problem with the purchased livestock, middlemen will also be held responsible.

"My surname is Zhang. Everyone in this area calls me Zhang Da. Don't worry, my two guests. I, Zhang Da, will definitely find you a donkey stronger than a cow." Zhang Da has been in this trading market for more than ten years. He said clearly, "What's your name?"

"Uncle Zhang, the boy's surname is Lin, and he comes from the nearby Lin Family Village. This is my younger brother." Lin Chengzu replied.

"There are many donkeys in this trading market..."
