The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Lin Xiazhi continued to persuade: "You are worried that I am tired, and you will not even let me enter the kitchen. I will also worry that you are tired. People are made of meat, not iron. Too busy will cause the root of the disease. Besides, the family In addition to the need for people for the tofu house, people also need people to do the housework. Our house is so big, and it is very tiring to clean it every day. Ah Mo also needs to do embroidery. His hands can’t become rough. Buy a servant to come back to help do it Housework, cooking, help Ah Mo share some."

When Lin Xiazhi said this, Lin Huzi realized that there were indeed a lot of things at home. He said that he could not stop Lin Xiazhi from buying someone, so he could only continue to work in the tofu shop with his head depressed.

After eating at noon, Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzu drove the bullock carts straight to the trading market in the county town, and asked their acquaintance Zhang Da to help introduce a good donkey.

The merchant who bought the previous donkey also selected two strong adult female donkeys.

Buying a female donkey was suggested by Zhang Da. He knew that the Lin family bought a donkey to pull the mill back home. Now that the Lin family already has a male donkey, they can also pull the stone mill when they buy a female donkey. If you need more donkeys, you don’t need to buy any more.

After the procedures for buying and selling the donkey were completed, Lin Xiazhi said that they still wanted to buy a man today.

Zhang Da was a little surprised, his eyes were always venomous, and he could be sure that the Lin family was an ordinary farmer. It wasn't long before they were able to afford servants. What kind of business did they do?

Zhang Da didn't ask any more questions out of curiosity, he was just a middleman, earning some agency fees, and asking too many questions would not please customers: "The best way to buy someone is to go to the shop, come with me."

The place where the people are bought and sold is across the street from the livestock, and these people who are pulled out to sell in the winter wear these thin shirts, and their faces, hands and feet are blue from the cold.

In addition to the people in the Yahang, occasionally you can meet some elders in the family who sell their children. In winter, there is really no food in the family, so they pull out the brothers in the family and sell them to the rich family as servants, and take a sum of money to buy food for the family. The children who are sold can also live in rich families without being starved to death.

Although it is said that he can live, but he loses his dignity if he lives to the end. Being a servant in other people's house, being beaten and scolded, or even dying has nothing to do with the family.

Looking at the population transactions with clearly marked prices, Lin Xiazhi felt a little uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted his mentality. Although he pitied these people, he was unable to help them change their lives, let alone the entire Jingguo.

Buyers must come according to their own needs. Zhang Da introduced the two brothers to a more pertinent shop. The source of people in this shop is clean.

"Tell me about your needs, and I'll give you recommendations." The boss of Yaxing invited Lin Xiazhi and the others to sit down with a smile.

Lin Xiazhi wanted to buy three people from Lin Xiazhi on the way, two men helped with the tofu shop, and a brother helped Li Xiu with the housework. When the boss asked, he said: "Boss, I'm going to buy There are three people, two men are required to do physical work, one brother is to do the housework, the brother has good cooking skills, the age of the three should not exceed 35 years old, the body bones must be strong, and there is no serious illness."

The boss of Yahang thought for a while, and recommended several to Lin Xiazhi. Lin Xiazhi was not satisfied after reading it. Yahang felt that he had met a more picky buyer, which also showed that Lin Xiazhi really wanted to buy someone.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, the boss of Yahang suddenly remembered a family. This family used to be servants of a big family in Lishui County.

This family is not easy to sell, and it has been almost a month since they have been in his hands and they have not been able to sell, because the four of them have a bond of prostitution, and there are two other men besides their husband and wife. The son is 19 years old, and the youngest is only nine years old. Such a half-grown child cannot do much work and eats too much. No one is willing to buy it.

The boss of Yaxing recommended this family to him with the mentality of giving it a try.

Lin Xiazhi didn't think about it at first, he also thought that it would not be good to have a half-old child, but he heard from the owner of Yaxing that the two older men in their family of four could read and write, and the elder brother of the couple used to work in the kitchen. To do something, I decided to check it out.

Because it was sold from a wealthy family, the clothes on the four members of this family are not considered tattered, and they look more energetic. The appearance of the whole family looks relatively honest. The three adults are all in good health, and the youngest child 9 years old and Lin Chenzong looked about the same age, with bright eyes, he looked like a smart kid.

Lin Xiazhi felt compassion for the child, so he asked the family a few questions, their answers were orderly, and he asked the two men to write a few words on the spot, and decided to buy them.

Hearing Lin Xiazhi's decision, Lin Chengzu couldn't help tugging at the corner of his clothes and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xia, is it too much?"

No matter how soft Lin Chengzu's voice was, people standing near them could hear it. The family of four looked at Lin Xiazhi nervously. Their fate was in Lin Xiazhi's hands.

Lin Xiazhi waved his hand: "Brother is fine, this younger child can be our Zong'er's book boy when he goes back."

Hearing Lin Xiazhi's words, the child's eyes lit up, and the couple's heartbeats also accelerated. The owner actually wanted to give the child a book boy. It seems that the conditions of the family are good. I hope they will be treated kindly after they are bought.

Basically, only Lin Xiazhi decides about the Lin family's affairs, and no one else will object. Now the family's money is basically made by Lin Xiazhi's ideas, and his ideas are right, and he has basically made no mistakes.

It's just that Lin Chengzu was still a little worried. There were four more people in the family, and he didn't know whether the tofu business would be successful. He felt a little stressed.

For a family of four, an adult man who knows how to read and write is expensive at 20 taels, a brother who can cook can sell for 16 taels, their eldest son can only sell 15 taels before he is an adult, and the youngest son is 60 taels at the age of nine. You can buy it. The owner of Yahang thanked Lin Xiazhi for helping him buy this trouble, and gave them a small change, a total of [-] taels, and also helped with the transfer of the contract of sale for free. After all, buying this family of four is not worth it. It costs a lot more.

Their names were written on the deed of sale, namely Zhao Da, Qian Shi, Zhao Dong, and Zhao Xi.

Lin Xiazhi and the others only drove one donkey cart, and when they went back, there were four servants and two donkeys. Zhao Da and Zhao Dong helped lead a donkey respectively, and only Qian and the little man Zhao Xi went up. Donkey cart.

Along the way, Lin Xiazhi saw that they were a little nervous, so he chatted with Qian, introduced his family members, and talked about what they needed to do in the Lin family in the future.

Seeing that Lin Xia didn't have that domineering feeling when he was only talking to them, Qian slowly let go of his discomfort. He could see that the new master of his family was more kind and not the kind who treated his servants harshly.

Zhao Da and Zhao Dong also listened with their ears upright, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

When Lin Xiazhi and the others returned to the village, smoke was rising from the kitchens of every household. It was already time to make dinner, and the weather was cold and there were almost no one on the road. The Lin family's return had not attracted any attention for the time being.

Two donkeys and one donkey were led to the mountain in the backyard. Xia Zhi first asked the four members of the Zhao family to meet with their family members.

Zhao Da's family used to work in a wealthy family, and they have met many rich people. After seeing the new master's family, they were a little confused. The most powerful people in the entire Lin family were actually Lin Xiazhi and Li Xiuhe's two elder brothers. Son, the men in the family are very ordinary, and the family dresses and behaves very casually, it is completely impossible to tell that they are a rich family who can afford servants.No matter how many doubts there are in my heart, the expression on my face is respectful.

Qian's eyes were very winking, knowing that the meal was not ready, she immediately went to the kitchen to help Li Xiu cook.

At that time, when Lin Xiazhi bought someone, he said that he wanted to find a good cook. Obviously, the owner didn't want to cook in the kitchen.

Seeing that Qian's knife skills are very good and he is very familiar with the kitchen, Li Xiu handed over the kitchen to Qian after explaining a few words to him.

After Lin Chengzong learned that Zhao Nan was the book boy his family had found for him, he looked at Zhao Nan curiously, and Lin Xiazhi asked the two of them to go out to play by themselves, and the children would get to know each other after a while.

As for Zhao Da and Zhao Dong, the two of them came back to do something. Before eating, Lin Chengzu took them to the backyard to familiarize themselves with the work.

In the past, Zhao Da and Zhao Dong were also used to doing work at the master’s house. The work of the Lin family was not difficult, as long as they could be taught once, the two of them took care of the stone mill, and the other cooked the soy milk in the tofu room. do what.

As for ordering tofu, Lin Xiazhi didn't intend to let the two of them do it from the beginning. One is that they have skills in making tofu, and the other is that they don't trust them enough.

That night, the Lin family ate the dinner cooked by the cook, Mrs. Qian. As expected of being cultivated by a rich family, the cooking skills are really good. Lin Xiazhi was very satisfied with the meal, and felt that his money was well spent.

Finally, Li Xiu and himself were rescued from these housework. Although he has become a brother through time travel, in fact, there is still a man living in his heart, and he doesn't like to deal with the kitchen all day long.

After dinner, Lin Xiazhi told the family of four to have a good rest and start work tomorrow.

The Lin family had only built one guest room at the beginning, so Zhao Dong could only temporarily live in the empty brick house in the backyard, and Dr. Zhao took Zhao Nan to squeeze in the remaining guest room.

After Zhao Da's family left, Li Xiucai breathed a sigh of relief, because Zhao Da's family came from a wealthy family, and Li Xiu was particularly worried that he would not be able to suppress them.

When Mrs. Wu taught Li Xiu embroidery before, she told some gossip in the backyard that if the head husband could not suppress the servants, there would even be a story that the young master of the family was abused by evil servants.

In fact, the example Wu Fulang gave is too extreme. The husbands mentioned in his story are either those side husbands, or the kind of rich and complicated families. In the intricate relationship, some servants are even more powerful than the master. .

It was precisely because of what Wu Fulang said in the chat, Li Xiu thought that he would do what Wu Fulang usually did to his servants, and his mind was always tense, and his performance today was not bad.
