A good husband and fortune

After dinner, Lin Zhi began to explain his plan to Shen Yanchuan and Lin An in detail. Mr. Li is old, and it is enough to see Shen Yanchuan get married and start a business. As for Lin Zhi, he is not interested in how they torment him.

Putting down the chopsticks, he went to the backyard to help Lin Zhi breed pepper seedlings.

There were only the three of them in the front yard, and Lin Zhi explained his plan in detail.

"The main purpose of buying wasteland now is that I want to open up a breeding base to raise crayfish myself. Now the crayfish in the river, including the ones in the weir ponds in the surrounding villages, have no owners, and anyone can catch them pick up."

"Now only we know the value of crayfish. When the time comes, we will sell crayfish. After everyone discovers the value of crayfish, we have no right to stop others from catching them. Now, when taxes are heavy and everyone is extremely poor , if everyone knows that crayfish can be eaten, even if it can reproduce, do you think it will survive to reproduce in the second year?"

This is a very realistic and rational question. Lin Zhi used to live in the countryside, and he was also poor. When he was young, his grandmother always liked to tell him about the past. There was no food in those days, and people used weeds. All hollowed out.

How much better is the Great Rong Kingdom than the Hua Kingdom at that time? People are too poor to think about the long-term. They only care about the present. hand.

Besides, with the development of society later, people's lives became richer and the economy developed, and people's demand for food became greater. Crayfish that were eaten later had to rely on farming to reproduce and survive.

So this is the reason why Lin Zhi wants to engage in breeding. At the very least, he wants to ensure that his future supply source is stable.

"Qingshui Town is not just Hongfu Restaurant, let us cooperate with Shopkeeper Qian to launch crayfish at that time. After a long time, other restaurants will follow suit. Even if the taste is not as good as ours, as long as the price is cheaper, there will be more. Others eat it, as long as someone eats it, someone will catch crayfish and sell it, so we must plan ahead.”

"I understand what you said." Lin An is a smart person. He can understand even a little bit of what Lin Zhi said. Now that he has said it so clearly, he already has a plan in his heart, "Let's do it together."

"En." Lin Zhi nodded his head vigorously, he hesitated a little while speaking, and simply glanced at Shen Yanchuan and gave Shen Yanchuan a look for Shen Yanchuan to speak.

Shen Yanchuan knew what Lin Zhi wanted to do at a glance, and he took the initiative to say: "Lin An, it is said that brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Let's ignore that before we start, but there is one thing that needs to be clarified first."

"You said."

"Xiao Zhi's current plan, other than our family, you are the only one who knows, and you also know that if the news of this matter leaks, the early opportunities will not be seized. So can I trouble you, don't put If you talk about this matter, you can tell Uncle Lin and Aunt Zhou, and you can discuss it, but your natal sister and brother-in-law..."

"I know." Lin An understood and said quickly, "I won't tell anyone, including my father and mother."

Lin An is not a fool, Lin Zhi told him such an important matter, even if he believed him, he also knew the pros and cons of this matter, so he would not tell anyone.

"Well, Anzi, thank you for your understanding." Seeing that Lin An didn't mind at all, Lin Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, in this era of poverty and fear, there are opportunities to make a fortune. Everyone can understand that they want to call their relatives together, but Lin Zhi is different. He is an outsider in his bones. Understand those shit relatives.

"Thank you for what you said to me." Lin Zhi turned back and said thank you. Lin An was embarrassed, "Right now, you can build the house first, and if you want to speed up, you can find more people to help, and you can do it in two months." Build it."

"That's what I planned to do too."

There are many rules here, and Zhou Lianxiang even found someone to calculate a good day to start the construction. On that day, Lin Zhi and Shen Yanchuan, as the masters, went to buy firecrackers and set them off.

And Lin An didn't know how to tell his parents, Lizheng and his wife paid ten taels of silver to Lin An, and then Lin An bought seven acres of wasteland in one go, and kept the rest of the money for emergencies .

Lin Zhi asked a lot of people to help, and he wanted to finish the house quickly. He paid a high salary, so Lizheng refused to let him take care of the meals. Zhi Zhi decided to take care of the lunch as well, and left the cooking to Zhou Lianxiang and Aunt Li.

It has been true since ancient times that more people are more powerful. It has only been a week since the start of construction. The main house, the bedroom, the side room, and the main house and the wing house that span the courtyard from east to west have all been erected. From a distance, there is already a prototype of the house.

But the two-day construction period was a bit late, and there was no other reason. Lin knew that two-thirds of the workers who built the house were villagers from Linjiagou and nearby villages.

Mid-May to late May is the season for harvesting wheat, and these villagers count on the harvest of the wheat to live on and pay taxes at the end of the year.

And this is also the result of last winter's labor. More than half of the people have gone to harvest wheat, and the construction period may have slowed down, but Lin Zhi can understand.

The climate here in Linjiagou is a bit like the plain area in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in Huaguo. Wheat is planted here in winter. After harvesting in early summer, people start to breed rice. After harvesting in late autumn, wheat will be planted in early winter. Water, Linjiagou has a river, and it is easier to divert water for irrigation, so here is where wheat and rice are planted all year round.

There are other crops, but very few, slightly more potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Shen Yanchuan and Mr. Li belonged to out-of-town households and had no fertile land. Lin knew that their fertile land was occupied by Lin Hecai, so in this harvest season, other people in Linjiagou were harvesting wheat in the field under the sun.

Lin Zhi and Shen Yanchuan were sitting under the shade of a tree, drinking tea and supervising the work.

"Our house must be completed by the end of July." It was already noon, and the workers went to eat.

In the past two days, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Li also went home to harvest wheat and cook. The matter was left to Shen Yanchuan. Although Shen Yanchuan's cooking was not particularly delicious, it was still passable.

Lin Zhi is not coquettish either. Since he is here to supervise the work, he will follow the helpers to eat what others eat. At this moment, Shen Yanchuan served two dishes and one soup by himself.

One is Lin Zhijiao’s stir-fried potato chips with pork belly, the other is braised beans with eggplant, and a pork bone and winter melon soup. Lin Zhi said while eating: “It’s May now, and it’s not too hot. Wait until August when the dog days will come.” Sometimes, the helpers might get heatstroke if they work here."

"According to the plan, all the work will be completed in mid-July." The reason why Shen Yanchuan came to supervise the work with a limp leg was because he wanted to hurry up. During this time, he did all the things he was able to do by himself, and his whole body was quite tanned, "I After careful calculation, if you want to fully move in, you have to wait until the beginning of August."

"That's fine." Lin Zhi took the bone soup that Shen Yanchuan served him, and he didn't want to drink it so quickly in the hot weather, so he put it aside and prepared to drink it colder.

"Drink it while it's hot. When it's cold, you'll say it smells fishy and you don't want to drink it." Shen Yanchuan is not used to Lin Zhi's problem.

Lin Zhi has a bad stomach, which is the original owner's own problem. He has been hungry all year round, and even those who have been treated harshly by his uncle's family have nothing to eat, and he has given up any food to his younger brother. It's only a ghost if there is no stomach problem.

Ever since Shen Yanchuan knew that Lin Zhi was feeling sick to his stomach, he began to follow the doctor's advice. Every time he had a bowl of hot soup before meals, Lin Zhi felt a headache when he saw the soup.

"My stomach doesn't hurt anymore, can we stop drinking?" Lin Zhi really didn't want to drink, he looked at Shen Yanchuan pitifully, blinking his eyes.

I don't know if it's because he was born with a hard tan. He has been walking under the sun for more than a week, and Shen Yanchuan has turned two degrees darker. Lin Zhileng hasn't changed at all, but is still translucent white.

It's hot at noon, and Lin Zhire's nose is covered with fine sweat, and his mouth is also rosy. When Lin Zhi is acting like a baby, he always pouts his mouth unconsciously, looking very cute.

At this moment, he blinked his big eyes, his lips pursed slightly, looking at Shen Yanchuan even hotter, he took a sip of the herbal tea beside him and said, "Then drink half a bowl."

"okay."

If he can take a sip less, he will take a sip less. Lin Zhi has never been aggressive. He picked up the bowl and drank half of it in one breath, then quickly put the bowl down and pushed it far away.

Seeing his childish behavior, Shen Yanchuan only felt that he was even cuter, wishing he could hold him in his arms and kiss him.

Look!

This is his husband, but it is painful.

Having said that, the people who work at Lin Zhi’s house are very happy every day. Not to mention the high wages Lin Zhi pays, even though there is meat for every lunch and meal, the most important thing is that Lin Zhi is a generous person. Now the weather is getting worse and worse. The hotter it gets, he will go to the town to buy some cucumbers and melons and freeze them in the well water, one for each worker a day.

Now those who stay here to continue working are those who have a large family and can spare manpower to come and work, but at the same time the family is relatively poor. Many people will bring back the meat dishes at noon and the melons given out every day for their wives and children. .

Lin Zhi and Shen Yanchuan are also very talkative, generous and kind, and Mr. Li is also a kind person. Some people asked Lin Zhi where he got the money to build the house, and Lin Zhi told the truth. He was lucky to solve a trouble for Boss Tang in the town. For the matter, he got 300 taels of silver, and he didn't say anything else.

Everyone has heard about this, although they are very envious of Lin Zhi, but seeing that Lin Zhi and Shen Yanchuan have become rich, they don't look down on others, they are still so polite to them, and they feel a little more balanced in their hearts. .

These people are envious but some people are jealous. Zhang Xiuhua is so angry at home these days that she can't eat, because the weather is hot and jealous, and it hurts to eat with a mouthful of bubbles.

Old Mrs. Lin was even more angry, she wanted to make a fuss several times but was stopped by Li Zheng.

Lin Hecai is not having a good time recently, and he regrets it now to the point of death. If he had known that Lin Zhi had such luck, he would not have agreed to sever the relationship at that time.

"This Lin Zhi is really lucky. For some reason, he got in touch with shopkeeper Sun of Hongfu Restaurant. If it wasn't for the help of shopkeeper Sun of Hongfu Restaurant, he might not be able to get the 300 taels of silver."

The more Lin Hecai thought about it, the more panicked he felt, but no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do, the money was already in the pockets of Lin Zhi and Shen Yanchuan.

"Who knows what that little bastard did, but there are more important things right now. When your short-lived ghost brother died, he left seven acres of fertile land and five acres of wasteland. The wheat is about to be harvested. Do you really want this Return all the land to him, and our family’s income will be halved after returning it to him.” Zhang Xiuhua is now angry and jealous, but at the same time, she is more concerned about the problem of fertile land, and she does not want to return the land.

"How is it possible? How can it be possible to return what is in Lao Tzu's hands?"

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I have my own way."

Lin and Cai began to discuss countermeasures in order not to return Lin Zhi's good land, but Lin Wanwan's focus was not on this. Compared with Lin Zhi's windfall, she took a longer view, and she boasted that she would be an official young lady Yes, I won't take the 300 taels to heart,

But in the past two days, she was also anxious. Hearing that Zhang Xiuhua had stopped yelling, Lin Wanwan quickly called her into the room.

"Mother, don't think about those trivial matters, there are more important things right now." Lin Wanwan squeezed the handkerchief with a sad expression on her face, "You and father only know how to be angry, but never thought about why Lin Zhi and the shopkeeper Sun Is it online?"

When Lin Wanwan said this, Zhang Xiuhua immediately reacted: "Wan'er, you mean..."

"The son of shopkeeper Sun of Hongfu Restaurant is Sun Changting. Sun Changting has a good impression of Lin Zhi. He asked Tianbao about Lin Zhi before, and now Lin Zhi has sent Lin Shi to school. Mother can't go on like this." Lin Wanwan I like Sun Changting a little bit, who doesn't like Fengshen Junlang who has a superior family background and is also a son of the wife, Lin Wanwan is now the age of a girl Huaichun, she likes Sun Changting.

But this is just liking, she still thought in her heart that when Lin Tianbao was admitted as a scholar, passed the government examination and was promoted step by step to become an official, then she would be a member of the official family, how could she be a teacher in a broken town with a businessman at home She is married, but that doesn't mean she can't use Sun Changting right now.

"Mother, pack some things. I'll go to school to visit Tianbao tomorrow." Lin Wanwan already had a plan in mind, and Lin Wanwan also gave Zhang Xiuhua an idea about returning the field, "And mother, if you don't want Lin Zhi to return to the field , my daughter will give you an idea."

"Wan'er, tell me." Zhang Xiuhua has always doted on Lin Wanwan, she thought her daughter was pretty and smart, so she immediately moved over to her.

Lin Wanwan approached Zhang Xiuhua's ear and whispered something, and after a while, Zhang Xiuhua's face showed a smile like a villain.

"Wan'er, you really deserve to be my mother's precious daughter. Your idea is really good."
