The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Seeing that Old Man Lin seemed to have something to say, Xiangbo bowed respectfully to Old Man Lin: "My lord, when the old man came to our house yesterday, he asked our village to ripen rice twice a year. Today we will bring rice when we come here. I bought two bags of new rice, and I can ask the doctor to cook it for you and your elders to taste."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for old man Lin to respond, he asked the two men following him to move things from the donkey cart, and introduced the two big bags of rice to old man Lin with joy on his face: "Look, this is the newly harvested rice this year, and everyone from other places knows it. Our Lin Family Village grows twice a year of rice, and some time ago, people came to inquire about it, and they all said that our Lin Family Village is very good."

Old man Lin has been a farmer all his life, so he naturally knows when the rice is ripe. When Xiangbo said that the rice had been harvested a few days ago, he was surprised from ear to ear: "It ripened so early?"

Xiangbo also responded with a surprised expression, and said with a little exaggeration: "Don't you know, my lord? Everyone knows about this. During the spring plowing this year, I was calling people in the village who have paddy fields to plant together. I want to come to my lord He should have gone there then."

Old man Lin's face turned red when he heard what Xiang Bo said. Uncle Lin's leg injury was actually healed during spring plowing. At that time, Uncle Lin went out early and returned late every day. lying to him.

Xiangbo knew exactly what old man Lin was thinking at the moment, so he didn't need to say more after his goal had been achieved. He continued to introduce the rest of the things, except for the last basket of copper coins, waiting for old man Lin to find out.

Xiangbo gave the things to old man Lin "joyfully", and left the main house with Lin Huzi who had been silent all this time.

When old man Lin came back to his senses, there was only a pile of things brought by the second room in the yard, and there was no one.

Youngest Lin didn't know where he went. Liu Chunhua went out on the pretext of hunting pigweed. Uncle Lin said he was going out to farm. Since old man Lin knew that he didn't farm, he naturally knew that he was also going out to avoid laziness.

With trembling steps, he walked to the two bags of new rice, and suddenly saw a box that Xiangbo didn't introduce.

When I was walking in the village before, the frame was opened, and there were [-] copper plates in it. After being removed from the car just now, Xiangbo asked someone to cover it and put it in the yard.

Picking up the lid with a pipe, old man Lin saw a basket of copper plates inside, and felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The youngest son also brought such a frame back last night, is it also a whole frame of copper plates inside?

Old man Lin seemed to be getting used to the blows now, he limped into the house to see what the frame that youngest Lin brought back yesterday was.

The Lin family left, and what happened in the main house has nothing to do with them.

Now that the rice harvest in Linjia Village has been completed, a new round of rice seeds has been planted in the fields. The people from other villages have almost left, and the tomatoes that have been demolished by the Lin family are all ripe.

Same as last year, picking tomatoes, harvesting seeds, making tomato sauce.

At the same time, Jufulou also started serving dishes made of tomatoes.

After the first round of tomatoes were all harvested, Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Huzi to take the tomato seeds to Lizheng, and asked Lizheng if he wanted to grow tomatoes in the village.

At the same time, he sent a message to Lizheng, whether to open another seasonal workshop in the village, specializing in tomato sauce.

People in the Lin family village have tasted the taste of tomatoes, but only a few people who are close to the Lin family have received gifts from the Lin family, and Lizheng's family is one of them.

Wei Fulang especially likes to mix rice with tomato sauce, and he can eat two full bowls of rice every time.

After listening to Lin Huzi's words, Li Zheng once again marveled at the generosity of the Lin family, who actually gave another prescription to the village for free.

As Li Zheng, although he really wanted to agree to it, he still had to call a village meeting to discuss and see if everyone was willing to do it.

The result of the meeting was naturally yes. No one in the village objected. It has become the consensus of all the villagers in Linjia Village to follow the Lin family to eat meat. show up.

People in Linjia Village buy seeds from Lizheng's house according to the amount of free dry land in the family. Lin Huzi has explained the method of planting tomatoes to Lizheng in detail. .

Still the same as when they were serving vegetables in the greenhouse, those who have a good relationship with the Lin family went directly to Lin Huzi to learn the scriptures, and the rest of the family consciously asked those households who had obtained the scriptures.

Tomatoes like high temperature in summer and love water. They installed bamboo pipes to transport water to their dry fields. Now they have realized the benefits of bamboo pipes. It takes less time and effort to irrigate the fields at home and free them up. time to do other things.

Now almost all the households in the Lin Family Village with dry fields have asked Old Qintou and the others to install bamboo pipes to transport water, and Old Qintou and the others are finally free.

However, people from other villages learned that bamboo pipes were used to transport water when they participated in the rice harvest in Linjia Village, and those who got acquainted with the people of Linjia Village even tried to use them. .

Interested people asked who made the bamboo pipes to carry water, and some carpenters imitated and made bamboo pipes to carry water, asking for [-] yuan per mu of land.

Old Qintou and the others charge a lot, one hundred yuan per mu of land, which is not cheap for those villages that are not so rich. Some people who want to install bamboo pipes to transport water will find those cheap carpenters.

With others robbing the business, Lao Qintou and the others are not so busy. Just as the number of rabbits in Beishan Village has started to increase, there is not enough manpower to raise rabbits with the children at home, so the free time is spent on tending the rabbits.

After Lin Xiazhi heard about someone robbing the business, he asked someone to send a message to Old Qin and the others to see how he would respond.

As a result, Lao Qintou replied, saying that the bamboo pipes imitated by these carpenters were not strong, and would start to leak in a short time, so Lin Xiazhi didn't have to worry.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before those people who were looking for cheap carpenters to make bamboo pipes began to trouble the carpenters, saying that they had lost their conscience and made black-hearted money. , doesn't work at all.

Old Qintou has already made a name for himself. Those who ordered bamboo pipes from a cheap carpenter heard about these things and asked the carpenter to refund their money.

Old Qin and the others made money, and Lin Xiazhi also got some small money. In just two months, the Qin family had given him a total of five taels of silver.

At the beginning, Lin Xiazhi said that he only charged half of the idea fee, but in the end, Lao Qintou actually gave 45%, saying that the remaining half was due to the help of the Lin family in Linjia Village, so so many people came to them to make bamboo. Guan, that is to say, the Qin family has earned [-] taels of silver by transporting water with bamboo pipes.

Each family has an average of 11 taels in their hands. The speed of making money is so fast that they can't believe it. However, the money they get is not fake. They really have a craft that can make money by themselves.

In June, in addition to planting the second round of rice, tomatoes, and peppers, Lin Huzi also wants to plant a crop of corn.

Lin Huzi has always been used to listening to Lin Xiazhi when it comes to farming. He would naturally talk to Lin Xiazhi first when he wanted to grow corn. Now all the fields of the Lin family have been planted with grain, and there are no vacant fields. The industrious villagers planted it, and now only some land that is not easy to cultivate is left vacant.

There is really no suitable land for Lin Huzi to plant. The sweet potatoes planted during spring plowing in Beishan Village are ripe and are being harvested. If Lin Huzi wants to grow corn, he can wait for the sweet potatoes to be harvested and leave him two acres of land. The distance is a bit far, if it is really planted there, it will be a bit troublesome to go back and forth.

Lin Xiazhi discussed with Li Xiu, and asked Lin Huzi to go to Lizheng. If there is a suitable land in the nearby village, please Lizheng to help match the line, and see if the nearby village is willing to sell it to the Lin family.

People in a village are usually more united and xenophobic, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to buy land in the village. Youli is making arrangements in the middle, relying on the name of the Lin family in Linjiacun, to see if it is possible to buy vacant land in other villages.

Lizheng always does things quickly, and two days later there was news that Weijia Village had ten acres of unowned dry land and was willing to sell it to the Lin family, but the price was more expensive than ordinary dry land, and it had to be sold together. The total asking price for ten acres of dry land was 120 two.

When it came to the price, Li Zheng was a little embarrassed. The price was really too expensive. Ten mu of dry land would cost 20 taels more, and he could buy another two mu. Said that Weijia Village is not willing to lower the price.

Lin Xiazhi understands that if Weijia Village sells land to Lin Xiazhi at the price of ten taels of silver per mu, then if other people come to buy land, it is hard to say what price they will sell.

The distance between Weijia Village and Linjia Village is close, and it is convenient to go back and forth by ox cart or donkey cart. Lin Huzi and Lin Xiazhi went to Weijia Village to have a look that day. Ten mu of land is at the junction of Weijia Village and Linjia Village. Although it is deserted It has been around for some years, but the terrain is flat, and there is a small stream that flows all year round nearby. It is not a disadvantage to buy it at this price.

The Lin family was satisfied after looking at the land, and soon asked someone from the Shangguan government to buy the land, and it took only two days to get the land deed.

Lin Xiazhi only helped Lin Huzi select some high-yielding breeds at home, and let Lin Huzi arrange the rest. Whether it was buying cattle or hiring people, let him discuss with Yang Yusheng or Li Xiu, and now he wants to let go family business.

The Lin family has fields that need to be filled with bamboo pipes to transport water. No matter how many orders from other customers Old Qintou and the others have, he will put these orders aside first and help the Lin family install bamboo pipes for the newly purchased ten acres of land.

Now that some carpenters have researched the bamboo pipe joints, Old Qintou and the others should not be so busy in a few days.

Lin Xiazhi has always wanted Old Qintou and the others to help, and bamboo pipes were also installed in Lin's house to transport water. Instead of picking water from the well to the tank every time, a large wooden bucket was installed directly outside the house, and where water is needed Connect the bamboo pipes and fill the wooden bucket with water every morning. Using water at home is as convenient as watering the fields.

Seeing that Old Qin and the others had no time to spare, this idea was shelved for the time being. It would not be that simple to transfer the practice in the field to the family. It would take them to study it before implementing it, and then wait for the Qin family to be free.
