The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

"Shopkeeper Dong, don't be too busy to be happy, go and call the chef over." Lin Xiazhi secretly laughed at Shopkeeper Dong's fuss, "I brought other things today, I'm too lazy to go out in winter, so I won't come over tomorrow Well, why don't we invite the two brothers to have a meal in Jufulou today, and we can talk about cooperation after eating."

"Okay, no problem." Cheng Wenliu looked at Lin Xiazhi's smiling eyes and agreed.

In large restaurants like Jufulou, fish, chicken, and mutton are always stocked. Lin Xiazhi told the chef all the recipes of pickled fish, pickled pork noodles, pickled vegetable stewed chicken, and pickled vegetable fried lamb, and then took Lin Chengzu out. Purchase, and then return to Jufulou for lunch at noon.

With a large income coming soon, Lin Xiazhi is relentless when it comes to buying things. Various snacks and preserved fruits from pastry shops, various seasonings from grocery stores, and cotton and cloth for the family to make clothes in winter. Buy what you see, a pair of It looked like a money-scattering boy, and when they returned to Jufulou, they had already piled up a cart full of shopping.

Lunch was a table full of sauerkraut. After eating, Cheng Wenliu immediately decided to sign a sauerkraut business contract with Lin Xiazhi.

The price of sauerkraut is still the same as that of pickled radish, four Wen a catty, and tomorrow we will supply [-] catties to test the waters.

Cheng Wenliu also took the vermicelli, because the vermicelli was sun-dried, so Lin Xiazhi ordered the price at [-] cents a catty, and the vermicelli was relatively easy to store, so Cheng Wenliu ordered [-] catties in one go.

There is not so much stock at home, and the processing of vermicelli is more troublesome, so Lin Xiazhi had to collect a part of the deposit first, and deliver the vermicelli one after another within ten days.

The deposit for vermicelli and sauerkraut was handed over to Lin Chengzu, and Lin Xiazhi himself only charged 60 taels for ideas. Even so, his empty wallet was filled up immediately.

Lin Xiazhi still has five taels of silver with him, which is the final payment for the consignment of Jinxiuyuan.Li Xiu's embroidery is getting more and more exquisite, and the selling price is naturally getting higher and higher. Calculated, Li Xiu also has more than 20 taels of silver in her hand.

Now the poorest person in Lin Erfang is Lin Huzi, who only has dozens of Wen that Lin Chengzu occasionally gave him.

Staying at home in winter with nothing to do, Lin Xiazhi thought about how to cook as soon as he was free.

He has already made old tofu very skillfully, but soft tofu is always unsuccessful.

Soft tofu can be made into tofu nao. If it is sold in the county this season, it will definitely be very popular.

Lin's family has a contract with Jufulou, so it's inconvenient to let my uncle go. Lin Ancheng's health is still not recovering, and he often needs to take medicine, and my uncle's family is short of money.

Lin Xiazhi racked his brains for several days, and finally remembered that he had read on the Internet that vinegar can make soft tofu, but the vinegar for making soft tofu is white vinegar. As far as Lin Xiazhi knew, Jingguo didn't have it yet, so let him It was another headache, and I made trouble for myself.

Lin Xiazhi thought about it for several days, but she didn't figure out how to make white vinegar, so she accidentally mentioned this matter and Li Xiu heard it.

Li Xiu didn't quite understand Lin Xiazhi's thoughts. He had heard from Wu Fulang that there was a vinegar workshop in Jiangning County, so he suggested, "Brother Xia, if you want that kind of white vinegar, you can ask the people in the vinegar workshop."

After listening to Li Xiu's words, Lin Xiazhi slapped his thigh. He was really troubled before and wanted to do everything by himself. In fact, the vast number of working people in ancient times were also very wise. I believe that if you give them a little hint, you can do it. He wanted white vinegar.

That afternoon, Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Chengzu to accompany him to a vinegar workshop in the county, and told the owner of the vinegar workshop a little bit of white vinegar recipe that he recalled in his mind.

The owner of the vinegar workshop is also a bold person. Without any experience, he believed Lin Xiazhi's statement even if the prescription was not complete, and asked Lin Xiazhi to see the finished product in a month.

Since the white vinegar was not made so quickly, Lin Xiazhi gave another idea to my uncle's family.

The weather was getting colder and Lin Ancheng's body was getting weaker and weaker. Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzu took a basket of eggs laid by their own chickens, a rooster, a bag of red dates, ten catties of soybeans, and two catties of meat to my uncle's house in the county seat.

Looking at the originally lively and cheerful child, now he can only lie on the bed with a pale complexion, Lin Xiazhi comforted him: "Cheng'er will take good care of his illness this winter, and spring will begin next year. My brother will take you out to play."

Lin Ancheng nodded obediently, showing a weak smile.

"Brother Xia, stay for lunch." Zhou Xiaozhu came in with a plate of snacks and a bowl of medicine, "Come on, Cheng'er drank the medicine."

"Okay, uncle, I'll cook for you later." Lin Xiazhi agreed.

Lin Ancheng swallowed a bowl of black soup with a bitter taste, and then ate a candied fruit given by Zhou Xiaozhu, smiling sweetly. Lin Xiazhi felt sore and uncomfortable looking at it.

After talking to Lin Ancheng in the room and seeing that he wanted to rest, Lin Xiazhi ran to the kitchen to help Zhou Xiaozhu.

"Uncle, I have a recipe to make money, do you want to try it?" Lin Xiazhi said while helping Zhou Xiaozhu add firewood.

"What prescription?" Zhou Xiaozhu subconsciously asked.

"Selling soybean sprouts." Lin Xiazhi said, "I asked Jufulou before. Vegetables in winter can be sold for [-] yuan a catty, and there are no prices in the market. We use soybeans to make bean sprouts, which are ready-made fresh vegetables. You take it to the market and sell it for ten cents a catty, and someone will definitely buy it."

"Ten cents a catty?" Zhou Xiaozhu almost got his hands on it, so why can something made of soybeans be so expensive?

"That's why it was sold at such a high price in the beginning. The method of soaking bean sprouts is not difficult. It is estimated that some people will soon think that the price will drop after a while."

Zhou Xiaozhu hesitated: "Brother Xia, this is an idea you came up with, so give it to me..."

"Uncle, don't think so much." Lin Xiazhi hurriedly interrupted him, "To tell you the truth, our family has signed a contract with Jufulou, and all the new food at home can only be sold to Jufulou. The bean sprouts that come out can't make much money if they are only sold to Jufulou, and the other businesses at home are already very busy, so there is no one to make bean sprouts."

Zhou Xiaozhu knew that this was just Xia Geer's excuse, and whoever could really make money would think too much money. He has a straightforward personality, so he agreed after a little bit of hesitation: "I can do the bean sprouts business, and I can earn a lot of money." We get fifty-five cents of the money."

"Uncle, I'll just talk about it, how can I get [-]% of the profit, at most [-]%." Lin Xiazhi quickly refused. He proposed this idea to improve the life of Uncle Lin's family, not to let Zhou Xiaozhu help him make money.

"Ten percent is too little..."

In the end, the two discussed for a long time, and Lin Xiazhi agreed to take [-]% of the profit, but Lin Erfang provided the soybeans needed for bean sprouts. Such conditions minimized Zhou Xiaozhu's risk.

After dinner, Lin Xiazhi explained to Zhou Xiaozhu how to sprout bean sprouts.It takes about seven days to germinate bean sprouts, and you will know whether it is successful after seven days.

Leaving ten catties of soybeans for Zhou Xiaozhu to experiment with, Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzu left. My uncle's family had patients to take care of, so they could only add chaos to Zhou Xiaozhu if they kept them.

Before returning home, Lin Xiazhi spent four taels of silver at a pork shop in the county town to buy a hundred catties of fat and thin meat, and asked the butcher shop owner to send two pigs into the water, and was going to go back to make sausages and bacon.

The bacon is marinated with the prepared sauce for two days and hung under the eaves to dry for a period of time.

The sausage is more troublesome. First cut the meat into small pieces, mix it with seasoning and marinate overnight, then stuff it into the cleaned pig large intestine, tie it into sections with cotton thread, and poke a few holes in the casing with a needle. Also hung under the eaves to dry.

Lin Xiazhi thought about making sausages and bacon to make money, but his family didn't have enough staff, and he didn't know if the sausages and bacon he made tasted good. Before time travel, he made sausages and bacon. He bought seasoning packets directly in the supermarket. , I haven't been assigned by myself, in case the cost of failure is too high, the current conditions of the Lin family can't afford to lose.

The seven days passed quickly, and Lin Xiazhi reckoned that Zhou Xiaozhu's bean sprouts should be ready, so he and Lin Chengzu made a donkey cart to the county early in the morning.

Lin Chengzu was going to Jufulou to deliver goods, and the direction of Jufulou was opposite to Uncle Lin's house. Lin Xiazhi got off at the gate of the city and walked to Uncle Lin's house by himself.

When Lin Xiazhi arrived at his uncle's house, Uncle Lin had already gone to the academy.

Now Uncle Lin is very busy every day. Apart from teaching the students in the academy, he also has to prepare for scientific examinations and find time to copy books to make money for the bookstore. He goes out early in the morning and returns home late at night.

Lin Xiazhi stood at the door and knocked: "Uncle, it's me, Brother Xia."

"Brother Xia is here." Zhou Xiaozhu's voice came from the room, and there was a sense of joy in his voice, which Lin Xiazhi hadn't heard the last time he came. He guessed that the bean sprouts were ready.

After entering the house, Zhou Xiaozhu signaled Lin Xiazhi to lower the volume. Lin Ancheng was still awake, so don't disturb his sleep.

The two came to the kitchen quietly, and Zhou Xiaozhu lifted the white cloth on a wooden box with an excited face: "Look, Brother Xia, is this the bean sprouts you mentioned? Do you think I succeeded in making it?"

Zhou Xiaozhu was excited and worried these days. He was afraid that he would not do a good job and waste Lin Xiazhi's good idea.

Lin Xiazhi pinched the bean sprouts, smelled them again, and said with certainty, "Uncle, the bean sprouts you made were successful."

"Really? Is this something that can be sold for ten cents a catty?" Zhou Xiaozhu felt that he was dreaming, and couldn't help pinching his arm.

At the beginning, Lin Xiazhi gave ten catties of soybeans, and it only took two catties to produce nearly twenty catties of bean sprouts. If it was converted into money, it would be two hundred cash, and if it was ten catties of soybeans, it would be one hundred catties of bean sprouts and one tael of silver. It is simply a huge profit.

Lin Xiazhi smiled and rubbed Zhou Xiaozhu's arm: "Uncle, let's send the bean sprouts to Jufulou later, the price at Jufulou is lower, and it will be sold for six cents a catty for the time being. The market price has dropped, and the price for Jufu Building will be adjusted accordingly.”

"Okay, okay, I'll boil Cheng'er's medicine first, and we'll go after Cheng'er drinks the medicine."

"Okay, then I'll make the medicine, uncle, you clean up the house first."

Early in the morning, there were still other things to be done at home, so Lin Xiazhi took the initiative to take over the work of boiling the medicine.

Zhou Xiaozhu was not polite to him. They were going to go out later, and they didn't know how long it would take to come back. There were many and complicated things, so they had to be arranged in advance.
