Chapter 201 Funeral Expenses
"Since this is the case, let's say it earlier, why hide it. Dad, I know you are a kind person. Since you care so much, go and have a look." Lin Huiru took a bite of the rice, but still didn't understand the old man. way of doing.
Lin Qing was not so much timid as he was kind-hearted and overly thoughtful. He lowered his head and did not speak for a long time. Qi Hehua sighed, "Xiao Ru, mother still wants to borrow three liang of silver from you. People's hearts are very bad. If there is no burial fee for a shroud, this person will not be buried. Your uncle and your aunt are both in prison, so we have to deal with this matter." "How can there be such a reason, three taels of
silver , The coffin they made with their own hands won't work?" Lin Huiru frowned, and couldn't help but think of the money used to buy cemeteries and coffins in modern times.
If there is no money, the family can only find a piece of land to bury and insert a sign.
"There's nothing you can do about red and white things. For example, you just finished the business in the shop. If you are tight, forget it." Lin Qing sighed. Now that he died, he also forgot those sad things, and only remembered the time of upbringing. yes.
Lin Huiru put down her chopsticks, "I don't think I won't be able to take out three taels of silver, so if you go out noisy today, you can see the dead body?" She just received Wang Sangui's deposit today.
"No, the coffin has already been nailed. Our rule here is to stay in the mourning hall for three days. We didn't have it last night. The second girl and your grandfather stayed there. We just said goodbye and asked how much it would cost before we left. It's gone." Qi Hehua was also a little embarrassed, after all, such things as not being allowed to worship, but even asking for money, sounded absurd.
"Is three taels of silver enough? Don't we still have a banquet?" Lin Huiru also felt a little bit emotional in her heart. She never forgot Wang's shrew spirit. She is so vicious at an old age, and her fate is uncertain if she walks away .
After all, everyone is dead, and she doesn't want to care about it. She is also grateful that without the Wang family, there is no one to support her father.
Lin Qing shook his head, Wang's temperament has always been bad, and the previous incident was so violent, and there are not many close friends in their family, and the opening of the banquet is considered a joke, "You know the situation of our family Besides, Dad doesn't want to make a big deal, he thinks it's a waste of money."
Originally, Lin Huiru was a little sad, but after hearing this, she became young and a waste of money? When his wife died and was buried, Lao Lin thought it was a waste of money , What kind of brain circuit is this?
"It's fate that grandpa and grandma get together. After all, they are elders. Wouldn't it be unfilial for me to be at home? If someone says something bad behind their backs, it's hard to keep you sad. Let's go together the day after tomorrow." Lin Huiru always felt that there was some clue to Wang's death.
Before going to bed, Lin Huiru gave Qi He a little money to take care of it. She was going there just for a funeral, and she also wanted to see what happened to Lao Lintou.
This matter was hidden from Xu Ziqiao. With his temperament, Lin Huiru was afraid that he would be involved too, and it would not be worthwhile to delay another day's homework.
The reason why Lin Yaoyao was able to come back to keep her filial piety was also because the incident of buying murder was also planned by Ge Lan. The evidence was solid and Lin Yaoyao was still young, so the government released her.
What gave Lin Huiru the most headache was seeing that ineffective younger sister.
When the third day arrived, the Lin family got up early. Lin Huiru wore a plain skirt and no hair accessories, and went to the old house together.
This was originally the place where Lin Qing wanted to live after the separation of the family. There were only two rooms and a yard. After the house collapsed, Lin Dashan's workmanship in rebuilding it was also dilapidated. Their lives now are vastly different.
But for this, Lin Huiru just wants to say that she deserves it, if she knew this, why bother.
The old house is covered with white papers, the main house has become a mourning hall and white flowers are hung, Lao Lintou is sitting on the sidelines in coarse linen with a gloomy face and does not speak, while Lin Yaoyao kneels in front of the mourning hall in sackcloth and filial piety, after listening to the sound, she gets up and calls Say uncle and aunt.
Lin Huiru felt a little strange. Although Lin Yaoyao's face was sad, there was not a single trace of tears on her face. Also, since she had been kneeling and observing filial piety, there was not even a little soil on her knees. Isn't it too perfunctory? But Lin Yaoyao is not
straight Lin Huiru didn't say anything about the slippery little tree. Looking around, she didn't know anyone who came to help, and only the village head uncle who came from Shanshan looked a lot older.
"Uncle Village Chief." Lin Huiru greeted, and Qi Hehua came over to help her put on the filial piety clothes.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, village chief, to make this trip too." Lin Qing said with a look of disappointment on his face.
The village head saw that Lin Huiru's family had arrived, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. The incident only happened two months ago, and the two months seemed to have passed. Maybe we can still live a happy life.
"Hey, they are all from the same village. If you can come, I believe she can rest assured. If you don't have a feast, come to my house to eat something at night." The village chief said.
Qi Hehua shook her head, and said honestly, "This day is not suitable, I will definitely visit your home some other day." "That's fine, then do your
work first, and I'll say hello to your father." The village chief went after speaking Lao Lintou exchanged some pleasantries, but Lao Lintou didn't show any good looks.
Although not many people came, they brought a lot of things. Lin Yaoyao was responsible for bringing them into the house. Lin Huiru stood at a loss, so she turned around and helped carry the eggs.
Lin Yaoyao didn't say anything when she saw her coming to help, she was much quieter than before.
Lin Huiru walked into the mourning hall to put down her things. The solemn decoration made the room, which was already backed by the sun, extraordinarily gloomy. Lin Huiru looked at the pitch-black coffin, and for some reason, the corners of the coffin were so worn that the paint would come off.
And Qi Hehua said that the coffin has already been nailed,
so where are the nails? Lin Huiru looked at the coffin, and noticed some fine powder on the side of the coffin, but he didn't know what it was.
"How long are you going to stare at grandma's coffin?" Lin Yaoyao stared at Lin Huiru, and Lin Huiru was startled when she spoke suddenly.
Lin Huiru didn't bother to pay attention to her. She pretended to go out and glanced at the powder. It was white powder, and she couldn't tell what it was.
Originally, Lin Huiru wanted to see what it was next time, but there was nothing to move, so she had no choice but to stand outside with Qi Hehua.
Near noon, Qi Hehua cooked for those who came to the funeral to have some food. Lin Huiru was the closest to the door, and she could always hear rustling sounds when eating, which was very strange.
"Is there a mouse here?" Lin Huiru asked.
Chapter 202 Shocking
"How could there be a mouse? Where did you see it?" Lin Qing put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked around.
Lin Huiru said bluntly, "I'm close to the mourning hall, and I can always hear rustling sounds. Don't be mice gnawing on things. If they bite the tribute, it will be troublesome." "Don't talk nonsense, in the mourning
hall I cleaned it clean, how could there be mice, you just don't want grandma to have a good time." Lin Yaoyao pulled her face down, her face was full of displeasure.
Lin Huiru put down the bowls and chopsticks with a sarcasm, "I didn't say that you didn't clean well, but it's taboo to see animals in the mourning hall. If you don't say anything if you bite something, I can listen to Mr. Feng Shui." As I said before, live animals should not be near when mortuary, especially rats and cats, otherwise..." "
Enough! Don't talk if you can't speak!" Lao Lin slapped his chopsticks on the table, His face was still gloomy, and his gaze towards Lin Huiru was even a bit chilly.
But the more Lin Yaoyao and Lao Lintou wanted to cover up like this, the more Lin Huiru became curious about what was going on in the mourning hall, but before she could continue talking, the village chief also spoke.
"Don't get excited. What Xiao Ru said is not unreasonable. I heard that voice too. I thought I heard it wrong. There is indeed a saying that livestock can't get close to the corpse. Why don't you go in and have a look? It's a collision. Big taboo." The village head came out to reconcile.
"You guys eat first, I'll go and have a look, and change the tribute by the way." Lin Qing stood up and turned around to go to the mourning hall.
Old Lin knocked on the table again, "You unfilial things, do you still have the face to see your mother?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone at the table looked ugly. Lin Qing was famous for being filial and hardworking. The son is still taking good care of him like a master. The separation of the family forces people to leave the house. Now Lin Qing and the others have to pay for the burial. How can he say such a thing at this time?
But after all, this is someone else's family business , it is not easy for others to intervene.
Lin Huiru's anger flared up, "Aside from the swearing, what else can I do? If you don't recognize your son or your granddaughter at this time, then don't let us pay. Pity your eldest son who is always thinking of you." , didn't even leave a fart."
"Xiaoru..." Qi Hehua tugged on Lin Huiru's sleeve, signaling Lin Huiru to pay attention to the situation.
This matter is very strange, how could Lin Huiru let it go, "Uncle Village Chief, please uphold justice, we are willing to come back to bury the old lady after we are separated, and I want to check if there is any mouse collision, but I will be killed by the elders." How can there be such a reason for scolding?"
"Village chief, this is our family's business, please leave it alone." Old Lintou's attitude was still firm.
"Grandpa, I advise you to accumulate some virtue for yourself. Grandma's burial will not be open. You say it's a waste of money. We pay for the burial, but you say we are nothing. The village head uncle and the others came to express their condolences, and you said it was your family affair. Let the village head uncle ignore it, you are so powerful, don't tell us about this." Lin Huiru's words hit the nail on the head, and Lao Lintou's attitude also caused dissatisfaction among the few family members who walked close.
When the atmosphere was tense, Lin Yaoyao suddenly stood up to smooth things over, "Grandpa, don't be too sad. My grandma passed away, and my grandpa also felt very sad. If there are no mice in the mourning hall, second uncle, you can come out." Looking
calmly Lin Yaoyao, Lin Huiru raised his eyebrows, and without saying anything, he pulled Lin Qing and turned into the mourning hall.
Just now Lin Yaoyao urged her to come out, but now she is so calm and surprisingly calm, how could there be nothing strange about it.
As soon as he entered the house, Lin Qing closed his eyes and bowed, earnestly looking for the so-called mouse in the corner. Lin Huiru went straight to the coffin, she guessed right, those debris had been swept away by Lin Yaoyao.
But she carefully turned around the coffin again, and found that there was still powder stuck on one side.
Lin Huiru's heart moved, and she took the crumbs and smelled them. It was the sweet and oily smell of the pastry. I don't know what it was that made the puff pastry fall off after eating it.
Just as Lin Huiru was pondering, there was another strange sound in the coffin. She pressed her ear to the edge of the gap, and she heard the sound of breathing.
Now Lin Huiru understood, just when Lin Yaoyao came in to urge, "If there is no one, don't bother grandma."
Seeing Lin Qing go out, Lin Huiru stood up and smiled, "How could there be no, I just said I found this here."
After Lin Huiru finished speaking, she clenched her fists and walked out, no matter what Lin Yaoyao asked, she didn't speak until she walked to the table, "I found the cake scraps next to the coffin, logically speaking, it shouldn't be There are only these, but I think what I should worry about is whether a mouse ran into the coffin?"
"This..." the village chief was a little puzzled, "Could it be that a mouse dragged something and ran over?" "
How is it possible? Lin Yaoyao insisted that there were no rats, but there were residues, and they were found in the cracks of the coffin. Could it be that the rat was carrying the coffin?" Lin Huiru raised her eyebrows, "To tell the truth, uncles and aunts, I'm still watching from behind the coffin. There is a hole, grandma's coffin, I'm afraid a big mouse got in."
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this.
"It's not a trivial matter that a mouse has entered. There is a hole that definitely has entered a mouse. I don't know how to be filial. Old Lintou, this matter must be taken to heart. If a corpse is bitten, it is not a trivial matter. "
"That's right, let's not talk about the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
. ..." Before she finished speaking, she stopped abruptly, as if she had said something wrong and should not have said it.
"If a mouse gets in, the corpse won't yell to remind you. Besides, Lin Yaoyao, you don't want grandma's bones to be taken away by the mouse to grind her teeth, right?" I can guess what's going on.
"These things have nothing to do with you! How can there be any reason to open the coffin after nailing it!? If there are mice, can't we hear it? Leave the burial money and get out!" The younger brother was about the same age as him, so he suddenly became unhappy.
Wang's younger brother also slapped the table and cursed angrily, "You don't care if my elder sister's body is going to be bitten by rats! You only want to nail the coffin! Are you still human!?" "Elder, don't worry
, Maybe the workers forgot that the coffin was not nailed up, and if we opened the coffin to help grandma drive out the mice, she would not mind, right?" Lin Huiru pointed her words directly at Wang's younger brother. the meaning of.
"Did you get bitten by mosquitoes, snakes and rats after the burial?! Where did so many things come from! Marrying into the Lin family is the ghost of our Lin family, so you don't need to worry about it!" Old Lin threw the bowl directly, cursing Looks like a mad dog.
Chapter 204
"It's safe to be buried in the ground after the burial. We don't know what the situation is, but grandma hasn't been buried yet. Grandpa, you plan to ignore it?" Lin Huiru folded her arms and raised her eyebrows, making the topic sensitive.
Taking advantage of the relatives of the Wang family, otherwise she would not have this opportunity on weekdays. She was really too lazy to worry about such things, but she always felt that the Wang family was not dead.
Wang's younger brother immediately echoed, "How much has my elder sister suffered from marrying you?! She was not able to survive when she was buried! Are you human?!
" Opening the coffin and burying it after being bitten by a mouse is disrespectful to the deceased." As soon as the village chief said, the rest of the people also expressed their opinion that it was inappropriate.
Old Lin was cursing all the time, and Lin Huiru took it to heart, "Grandpa, you have never allowed us to open the coffin to help grandma examine the corpse, but that huge hole is there." It seemed that Lin Huiru was trying to persuade,
but The next moment, Lin Huiru changed the subject, "Grandpa, did you do something wrong for not allowing the coffin to be opened? As far as I know, grandma is in good health. Not long ago, she came to my house to scold me for an hour. Passed away suddenly..."
"You fart! Dogs and damsels don't have enough things here, you are not needed here, get out of here!" Old Lin was slandered and couldn't sit still.
Instead, it seemed that he was a little out of breath, or guilty.
"If I don't open the coffin and change my elder sister's coffin, I won't leave! My elder sister will not be buried safely, so don't think about it!" Wang's younger brother hit the ground angrily with a cane, and the piece of soil was dented. Go down a piece.
Old Lintou is not to be outdone, he has never been afraid of anyone when it comes to such shameless things, "You pretended to be dead when she was spending money, but now you have become more powerful! Your whole family will die!"
It's really boring to watch two old men scolding each other. Now that old Lin is messing around, everyone can see that Lin Qing can be the master without Lin Dashan's family.
"Look at this coffin..." the village chief had just finished speaking.
Lin Qing nodded vigorously, "Open it, it must be opened, and we will spend money to make a coffin for her!" "
Then come and help, the coffin is not nailed, let's push it away together, be careful not to be bitten by animals." The village chief's face was very ugly when he was quarreled, and after he finished speaking, he walked into the mourning hall with Lin Qing and a few other men.
The two old men outside were still scolding each other happily, Lin Yaoyao saw that the situation was not good, she stood in front of her and opened her arms, what she said only made people feel even more strange.
"Don't touch my grandma!" Lin Yaoyao shouted.
Lin Huiru was not used to it either. She stepped forward and leaned close to Lin Yaoyao's ear, and whispered, "Don't be ignorant, believe it or not, I can let you see the official again.
" The incident is still vivid in my memory, the gloomy prison has cast a lot of shadow on Lin Yaoyao, she was paralyzed in fright, her mind went blank.
"Xiaoru..." Lin Qing looked at it and opened his mouth in doubt.
"It's okay, let's open grandma's coffin. Lin Yaoyao is also worried that grandma is too worried." Lin Huiru's lips curled into a faint smile, and the male stepped forward to surround the coffin.
After all, this was the first time this kind of thing happened, and everyone was a little nervous.
"I shouted, let's work hard together." The village chief took the lead, and the others nodded.
When the exit was heard, everyone couldn't help but be surprised to find that the coffin board was surprisingly light. Because each person's strength was different, the coffin board was directly lifted and fell to the wall to be torn apart.
What kind of broken quality is this!
The dead man cut corners and made everyone look ugly.
The Wang family lying in the coffin was motionless and her face was pale. Lin Huiru glanced at Lin Yaoyao and walked over.
"There is indeed a hole, and there are some broken cake crumbs. Fortunately, the beast did not make a nest here, but it seems that a new one must be made." Lin Qing touched the shape of the hole, and always felt that it was too sharp, not like it. Eaten by mice.
Lin Yaoyao was sweating profusely at the moment, and Lin Huiru was still unwilling to give up. She walked to Wang's head and lowered her eyes for a moment, pretending to be surprised, and said, "Uncles, don't you find it strange that such a hot weather is so hot? There's no smell at all."
It's said that the body should be mortuary for seven days or more, but now that it's hot, there will be a smell in three days, so it's only for three days when the weather is hot.
Hearing Lin Huiru's reminder, other people also felt very strange, and some people were even surprised to find, "There is not even a single corpse spot. Grandma Wang is still alive, right!?" "I'm out of breath
, It should be just a coincidence." The village head stretched out his hand to try, he had to go to many homes to watch funerals every year, and this was the first time he met this person who looked or seemed to die.
Lin Huiru sneered, "I can never wake up a person who pretends
to be asleep." Just when a group of rural people didn't understand what this meant and wanted to ask back, Lin Huiru reached out and covered Wang's mouth and nose tightly. Seriously.
"Xiao Ru! What are you doing!? Let go of your hands!" Lin Qing frowned, fearing that Lin Huiru would be disrespectful to the corpse.
"Shh, don't worry." Lin Huiru looked at Wang with concentration, and the time passed by. Although the others didn't understand, they were curious to see what she was going to do.
In less than half a cup of tea, the corpse trembled under the eyes of everyone, and then Wang, who had been 'dead' for three days, pushed Lin Huiru away, sat up suddenly and gasped.
Resurrected from the dead? Is this Wang a human or a ghost?!
Someone yelled in horror and subconsciously backed away. Lin Huiru had no time to laugh at the timidity of these people and reminded, "Grandma slept very well this time. It's really scary, if I sleep more, I'm afraid I'm going to wake up from the ground."
Panting heavily, Wang was still immersed in the fear of being almost suffocated by Lin Huiru and did not speak.
Lin Huiru was really angry. This family is really shameless. They used to change the law to ask them for money, but now they are so shameless that they lie in a coffin and ask for funeral expenses. This family Ziren had to say that it was really weird to want her to applaud on the spot.
"Pretending to be dead is better than usual. Seeing that there is still that cookie powder on this mouth. When we were busy looking here and there, grandma, you slept really well." Lin Hui Ruthlessly exposed the Wang family, Lin Huiru said so, and the other elders did not speak, after all, the facts were right in front of them.
The one who was even angrier was the Uncle Village Chief. Just now he stretched out his hand to feel his breath, and it was obvious that he didn't even breathe for a long time, but now this person is alive, and Lin Huiru suffocated him.
Chapter 205 Playing Dead
At this time, Lin Qing was in the most complicated mood. He came to the funeral in a hurry, but he didn't expect that it was his adoptive father, adoptive mother, and little niece who jointly lied to him, and it was Lin Huiru's money. , this matter made Lin Qing feel a little unacceptable for a while, but he was not in the mood to question Wang, after all, the facts were naked in front of his eyes, Lin Qing turned around and walked out the door with a flick of his hand, no one could stop him .
"I'm sorry, I made everyone laugh. It seems that grandma and her elders are fine. We are all busy for nothing. Let's go back to our homes." Lin Huiru stepped forward to smooth things over, but at this time he deliberately put things aside The commotion became more and more chaotic, Lin Yaoyao had already turned her head and went out just now, at this time only Lao Lintou was left sitting there with his head down without saying a word.
"Then you all ganged up to cheat us, and just to cheat us of our little money. This kind of person is really impressive. From now on, we will all pretend that we don't know each other, and we can't afford to lose this person Let's go!" Many people on the spot had their lower limit concept refreshed by this matter, they turned their heads and left one after another, entered the room and took away the gifts they brought, and even put down their harsh words.
"If you don't take back the money we posted, I really wish you a happy death for those who are not things."
Just after the people had almost left, Lao Lintou and Mrs. Wang saw that there was a real commotion in the empty room, and spent money on their own. Not to mention acting in a play for money, and now I have to pay it back.
"You bastard! Money-losing goods! It's because you ruined our good deed!" Seeing that the money and presents in her hands were flying away, Wang wished to swing a hoe and beat Lin Huiru to death, but fortunately, Lin Qing came back He snatched the hoe off, eyes full of disappointment and anger.
"Tsk, how do you say that? If it weren't for me, I'm afraid someone else would see you buried in the ground today, so you want to lie down in the ground early?" Lin Huiru sarcastically retorted.
"The scumbags still contradict me!" Wang continued to curse, but Lin Huiru had already pinched her face.
Lin Huiru didn't hide, Lin Qing pulled her over with a gloomy expression, "You can't be too shameless, you just fend for yourself, after this incident, you don't need to inform us of anything in the future." "Lin Qing,
you How brave! You dare not keep me, don't you! You are not filial! You should be eaten by wild dogs outside!" Mrs. Wang continued to curse angrily, but Lin Qing endured without speaking.
"Didn't you all do this yourself? You don't need to tell me, you old woman. You must be the ones who were eaten by wild dogs in the wilderness. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see." He and Lin Qing left.
They were delayed for a day today, and the funeral was not completed. After all, who would have thought that there are vicious parents who want to cheat money by burying them, maybe they want to let Lao Lintou and Lin Yaoyao buy her from the soil after they are all gone. planed out.
"Don't worry about today's matter, just take it as it really happened, and you don't have to worry about it anymore." Lin Huiru finally had time to speak after deliberating for a long time.
Hearing what she said, Lin Qing nodded and sighed, "It's unfortunate that our family is as small as you insist.
" It's not like a mouse bite." Lin Huiru didn't dare to directly insist on opening the coffin for an autopsy, so she could only use this method to test Wang.
"Thank you." Both Lin Qing and Qi Hehua were still in shock. No one expected to witness such a thing happen. Lin Huiru also chose to follow quietly without interrupting.
After returning home, Xu Ziqiao saw that the atmosphere was very strange, so she pulled Lin Huiru to whisper, "What's the matter?
" After telling him the ins and outs of the matter, Xu Ziqiao was shocked that such a vicious relative existed in such a time.
"Since this is the case, then don't bother uncle for now, and it may not be a loss if this kind of person does not interact, so don't worry about it too much." After Xu Ziqiao finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to embrace Lin Huiru into his arms middle.
"I didn't." Xu Ziqiao saw through Lin Huiru's duplicity at a glance.
Xu Ziqiao kissed her on the forehead lightly, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll be with you no matter what." "Okay, I
just think they're playing a bit too big." Lin Huiru sighed wearily. Take a deep breath, one day, this family will be able to make her mentally weak.
"Being upright is not afraid of the slanting shadow, just don't care about them, we will leave here after a while, regardless of them." Xu Ziqiao continued to comfort her softly, making Lin Huiru's lips smile unconsciously .
The next day, Lin Huiru was in crisis again. She had forgotten how busy she was during the past few days. Now that she was free, she had to recharge the space if she wanted to use it! She couldn't die, and
this space had to rely on gold, silver and jewelry to restore It has the power to convert things, if it is not replenished with energy, it will be no different from a pile of scrap iron.
Lin Huiru went to a jewelry store with her purse in distress. She didn't know about these things unless she asked about them. Except for silver, the starting price of other things was ten taels less, and every penny was money.
She thought, the left and right should be jewelry, and the poor quality should be fine.
"Boss, how much is this jade bracelet?" Lin Huiru pointed to a dark green bracelet with mottled impurities, which could barely be regarded as jade.
"That one." The shopkeeper took a look at the bracelet. Due to the temperament of villagers who like to pick up cheap and have no money, many people always ask, but it is jade after all, "If you want it, four taels Take the silver."
Lin Huiru frowned when she heard the price, "This color is almost no different from a better-looking stone, and it is worth four taels of silver?!" After saying this,
Lin Huiru regretted it. After all, there are still purchases of raw materials, processing, and paving costs.
But when she was about to be slaughtered, Lin Huiru suddenly remembered what a friend once said to her.
Today's jewelry is so oily that you have to cross out at least three zeros before buying it.
Lin Huiru regained consciousness after a jolt, and saw the shopkeeper's disdainful gaze, "What you said, isn't jade just a good-looking stone? Girl who doesn't know the goods, go and go, don't hinder my business."
Although there was no gain, Lin Huiru was not discouraged. She thought of the cheapest place to buy jewelry.
Go directly to the quarry to buy rough stones.
Chapter 206 Quarry
Rough stones that have not been processed without too much manpower are considered gems, but they are just uncut, and their functions should be similar.
Zhao Xing has almost become Lin Huiru's living map. After getting an idea, Lin Huiru went to the shop to ask him, "Uncle Zhao, do you know where there is a mine for mining rough gemstones?
" ?Boss, you really want to go out once in a while, but our place is not good, and there is really no mine. If you want to say that this is the nearest, you have to go through several cities. It can't be dug out anywhere." Zhao Xing was reckoning, and he glanced at Lin Huiru and said with emotion.
This sentence was like pouring a basin of cold water directly on Lin Huiru's head.
Does she really have to spend a lot of money to buy well-made gold, silver and jade to feed the space? If she uses it more frequently, she must be empty?
Lin Huiru and He look like they have lost their souls, but for Zhao Xing She was quite frightened, "Why did you ask this suddenly? Did something happen to the stall?" "Shouldn't
I go to sell something? How could I find a way to buy something?" Lin Huiru asked back and sat down at the table listlessly with her forehead propped up.
"Uncle Zhao, I want to borrow a stool." Zhou Man'er has never seen anyone outside since she became familiar with Lin Huiru, and besides, she is currently renovating the shop diagonally opposite Lin Huiru. When necessary, she will occasionally come Come here and ask Zhao Xing to borrow something.
It's better to come early than coincidentally. After Zhou Man'er entered the door, she saw the listless Lin Huiru at first sight. She walked over and patted Lin Huiru's shoulder lightly, "Sister Xiaoru, what are you doing here? Why didn't I see you a few days ago."
"You're here. I had something to do a few days ago, so I didn't come here much. How are you doing?" Lin Huiru cheered up a little. As soon as he stretched his head, he could almost see Zhou Man'er's shop diagonally opposite. It seemed that the facade was still being renovated, nothing changed, only a few workers came in and out.
"Don't worry, everything on my side is going according to plan, but you were too busy two days ago, and you don't seem to be energetic. Do you want to take a good rest?" Zhou Man'er asked worriedly.
Lin Huiru didn't answer, but just looked at Zhou Man'er. If she remembered correctly, Zhou Maner was considered the daughter of the landlord's family. The landlord should often use gems and the like, so she asked Zhou Maner with some hope, " Do you know someone who is in the rough stone business?"
"Rough stone business?" Zhou Man'er didn't realize it at first, but after he calmed down and thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, "It's the ore mining, to be honest. Yes, I don't know it, but my father does. Every year during the Chinese New Year, our family's female relatives will choose a piece of rough stone they like to make jewelry or a head face. What's the matter, do you want to buy it? I'm giving it to you, anyway, it's too bad It's comfortable, and I don't want to wear it either."
Lin Huiru smiled at Zhou Man'er's generous appearance, "I will need this almost often in the future, think about your little jewelry box, can you afford it for me?" "
Well, I still have two pairs of sapphire pendants, three emerald hairpins, a ruby âânecklace, a suet jade bracelet, and a few jade bracelets. I wonder if you have enough, Miss Ru?" Zhou Man'er innocently counted on her fingers, how many jewels she still has, and her cute appearance made Lin Huiru laugh.
"Okay, don't count, your little worth is not enough, keep it for yourself as a dowry, but can you introduce me to the man who is in the rough stone business?" Although Lin Huiru said so on the surface, But I was still a little surprised. Were all the ancient landlords so rich?
Zhou Man'er said loudly, "Yes, but it seems that they can only sell it for several yuan. If you are sure, Miss Ru, I will ask my father when I go back tonight." "Of course, I still have a lot to buy.
Then I'll leave this to you." Lin Huiru suppressed the joy in her heart, but she didn't expect that it would be so easy for her to find nowhere to go.
"Okay, then I'll give you a message tomorrow. By the way, I've finished resting there. Sister Xiaoru, do you want to go over and have a look and give me pointers?" Zhou Maner was asking on the surface, but she had already stretched out her hand to hug Lin. Huiru was about to go out.
Seeing that Lin Huiru was not so gloomy, Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, watched them go out, and then remembered one more thing, "Hey, Miss Zhou, the stool you want!
" The stools in the shop are all used to step on the feet, and one is for sitting down and supervising the work...
But the decoration of this shop is not bad, the whole has been renovated, the white walls on the left and right are spotless, and there are several lanterns hanging on the ceiling, almost in accordance with the Her suggestion is that the cabinets are circular, and only workers can go in and pick up things through the entrance station, not guests.
"Yes, it should be finished soon." Lin Huiru praised sincerely.
Zhou Man'er nodded, "It's almost there. According to the design drawings you gave me, Miss Ru, there are already workers making those accessories, and it shouldn't be long before they can open for business." "I didn't expect that your progress is quite fast
. , don't forget the box I told you, the wooden box is too rough, the brocade box is too fancy, the color is dark and old-fashioned, wrap the wooden box with some solid-color flannelette, so that the packaging will look good." Lin Huiru reminded again.
"Hey, I don't necessarily have a business mind. I've almost started work. I'll have a sample in a few days. I'll show it to Miss Xiaoru as soon as possible." Zhou Maner said obediently beside her.
"One more staff member will never make a mistake, but you have to remember my business." Lin Huiru stretched out her index finger and pointed Zhou Man'er's forehead, reminding again.
After all, she still needs space to replace a lot of things, and now it is her limit to temporarily use precious jade as a cushion.
After all, she still has to consider doing business in the city in the future, so she has to prepare at least a thousand taels of funds. When she was saving money, spending even one penny made her feel a little tight in her chest.
"Oh, don't worry, Miss Ru, even if I forget to eat, I won't forget about you. Believe me, I'm right." Zhou Man'er pouted and acted coquettishly.
Lin Huiru smiled, "Okay, I invite you to eat delicious food after the matter is over, but the delicious food has to do with those raw stones. I guarantee that it is a taste you have never tasted before, and it is better than Malatang and Chuan Chuan." Be delicious."
As soon as Zhou Man'er heard about the food, she became excited, and asked incessantly, "What is it? How about I give you two hairpins first, Miss Ru, let me taste it first, okay?" "Little greedy cat, no
way , let's go, come to my shop at noon tomorrow." After Lin Huiru finished speaking, she waved her hand and slipped away.
Chapter 206 Grilled Fish
On the way home, Lin Huiru wanted to eat grilled fish with an idea in her heart. Although it was her whim, she didn't change the authentic grilled fish from the space, and what she made was probably fried fish.
Clutching her cramped heart, she went to the market to buy two pieces of inferior jade ornaments. After all, it would take some time to wait for the rough stones, so she couldn't delay her business.
Once at home, Lin Huiru went to the space and put down two pieces of jade. When the screen turned on, Lin Huiru breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that there is no distinction between quality and quality, but poor quality inevitably does not come with good gems long.
However, according to the current situation, this is the only way to make offerings. She imagined a plate of grilled fish, and then two stacked iron plates appeared on the table, and then the screen was turned off at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lin Huiru His face also darkened.
The two jade ornaments cost her two taels of silver, but in the end she could only exchange for two iron plates???
After cursing secretly, Lin Huiru sighed and took the iron plate to the side of the water tank for a little cleaning.
"Xiao Ru, do you think this four-pound Qingjiang fish is enough? I should go a little later, it will be cheaper, and there may be bigger ones." When he just returned home, Lin Huiru asked Qi Hehua went to buy the tenderest and freshest Qingjiang fish.
Lin Huiru nodded, "It's just right, we can't finish it if there is too much, mother, rest, I will cook tonight." After finally being able to give her a chance to show her skills, Lin Huiru is motivated full.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten Xiaoru's cooking. I'll get the fishy smell out of you. Don't get the smell on you." After finishing speaking, Qi Hehua pulled a small stool over, took a knife and deftly opened up the fish. belly, and gave all the unwanted viscera to the dog at home.
Seeing this, Lin Huiru didn't stop her. She didn't have much time to work together. She went to wash some vegetables necessary for grilling fish, and prepared sweet potato powder for soaking. Then she turned around a small stove, Throwing firewood into it caused a flame and set up an iron plate.
"What are you going to do?" Qi Hehua was puzzled, but found it very interesting, and came over to watch.
"Make a grilled fish." Lin Huiru brushed the iron plate with oil, put the processed fish on it, added seasonings, and covered it with another iron plate. The so-called iron plate came together without an oven.
"Grilled fish? Wouldn't it be a fire to take the test? A smell of sparks is not good." Qi Hehua was even more confused, but she also believed in her own girl.
"Just wait and see, it's absolutely delicious." Lin Huiru was busy pretending to be mysterious, frying the prepared vegetables in the pan, and spreading the vegetables when the fish was about to be ready.
Looking at the flickering fire, Lin Huiru once again had an idea that hot pot skewers can't be done in summer, but she can still cook barbecue! In the
summer of the 21st century, there is no such thing as crayfish barbecue and beer. It is the most boring. Although the ancients had barbecue, there is no essence of modern skewers.
With this thought in mind, Lin Huiru excitedly made up her mind again. There is still more than a month of summer before Xu Ziqiao rushes to take the exam. She will definitely earn a lot of money and go to the capital to develop
! , Xu Ziqiao should be back in a while, let's have dinner." Lin Huiru lifted the lid after smelling the aroma, and the grilled fish was delicious, and her mouth was watering.
As soon as Xu Ziqiao brought the grilled fish to the dining table with the tongs for the fire, Xu Ziqiao also came back, and smelled the aroma of grilled fish as soon as he entered the door, "What did you do today?" "Come, try
my grilled fish." Lin Hui Ru and Qi lotus arranged the bowls and chopsticks, the fragrance was so strong that Lin Qing smelled it, and the family at the table ate happily.
Being able to eat modern tastes in the mediocre ancient times, Lin Huiru always feels that she is extremely happy now.
After eating, Lin Huiru went to the yard to enjoy the shade as usual. The grapes that Lin Qing had planted on a whim before had covered the shelves and were about to produce green fruits.
"You made this today, but you came up with a new dish?" Xu Ziqiao also followed, and the time between the two of them was almost only for a while every day.
Lin Huiru shook her head, "Yes and no, what can't be baked and eaten? If I want to go to the capital to open a shop again, although that kind of place where money is spent like water can make a lot of money, I guess it will cost a lot of money to open it. There is still time right now, so we can't waste it, right?"
"Not everything is as delicious as tonight's grilled fish. The ancients didn't know how to cook, so they could only eat meat, but the taste is full of charcoal fire and itself. smell." Xu Ziqiao frowned, and couldn't think of what Lin Huiru was going to do.
"When I made skewers, no one thought that I could make random stew so delicious. The ancients used to cook it with a pot of water and messy food, but we are smarter than them. Everything needs to be seasoned. , you just wait and see." Lin Huiru is now more confident, she has previous lessons and experience, and has a strong partner, not to mention that this is a sure-fire deal.
Seeing her serious and determined face, Xu Ziqiao bent her eyes and smiled, "I believe in your talent and craftsmanship, but it is very troublesome to open a shop. Are your feet all healed?
" Xu Ziqiao always misses the days when he was out of the stall.
"It's okay, I don't feel it anymore, I'm young and recovering quickly." Lin Huiru turned around and jumped twice, and she was very flexible and natural.
"That's good. Be careful in the future and don't try to be brave." Xu Ziqiao nodded her nose and said dotingly.
The next day, Lin Huiru got up early in high spirits. The reason was that she was going to hear the good news about Zhou Man'er today. Moreover, the idea of ââyesterday had been deeply planted in her mind. She had to find a way to get everything ready and then Start a business and make a fortune.
Today, Lin Huiru should be the one who got up earlier than Qi Hehua besides Xu Ziqiao. After getting up, she habitually brushed her teeth and washed, and then opened the door, but she was stunned by a casual glance when she opened the door. There was a child sitting in front of their house.
Fortunately, it was warm now, and the child's clothes were still tattered and patched. Otherwise, if it was winter, Lin Huiru couldn't imagine whether the child would freeze to death on the street.
But even though the index is about to enter summer, the morning is still a bit chilly at this time. Lin Huiru rubbed her arms, squatted down and found that the child was still asleep at the door of her house.
Lin Huiru found out that the child was sitting on the kennel, and sometimes Xiao Hei had the habit of being afraid of being outside, so she also put a cushion by the door.
Chapter 207 Picking up a baby
"Why are you here?" Lin Huiru reached out and shook the child's shoulder, and asked softly, for fear of scaring such an insecure child.
I don't know if it's because she's used to wandering outside, but the child didn't sleep very soundly. Lin Huiru woke up after such a sway, but she rubbed her eyes and was still a little confused.
"Don't you have a place to go?" Lin Huiru met her eyes, a little helpless.
Only at this time did Lin Huiru realize that although the child's appearance was dirty, the pair of big grape-like watery eyes were indeed very aura, and after careful inspection, this should be a little girl.
The little girl nodded, and then stood up on the ground, "Sister, is this mat you don't want? Can I take it away?"
Lin Huiru glanced at the idea and there were still a lot of hairs on it. After all, spring has already passed. After that, in order to survive the summer, her dogs have begun to shed their hair.
"Why do you want this mat? It's dirty." Lin Huiru asked.
"With the cushion, it won't be too hard when you sleep on the corner of the street." The little girl looked at the cushion with indescribable longing in her eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Huiru suddenly felt very sour. By coincidence, Lin Huiru heard a strange noise, which seemed to be the sound from the little girl's stomach, and then looked carefully at the little girl's cheeks, which had been sunken because of her thinness.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to come with me for something to eat." There are so many poor children in the world, and the only thing Lin Huiru can do is to bring her home and give her something to eat.
Hearing that there was still something to eat, the child's stomach growled even more, with a little embarrassment on his face, "Is it okay? Sister... I'll just eat half a piece of steamed bun." "Come with me
first Go." Seeing her cautious look, Lin Huiru felt even more distressed, took the little girl's hand and led her to the yard, and just after entering the yard, Qi Hehua also got up.
Qi Hehua looked surprised at the dirty little girl Lin Huiru was leading, "Xiao Ru, this is..." "
She may be hungry and tired and slept at the door, I think I can bring her back for her to eat A full meal." Lin Huiru explained for the little girl, of course she would not worry that Qi Hehua would be unwilling because of this, after all, she is also very soft-hearted, and sometimes she will give some money to beggars when they go out together kind.
In Qi Hehua's words, the family was poor before, and those who could help would share the remaining steamed buns, but now the situation is a little better, and being able to give some can be regarded as accumulating virtue to Lin Huiru.
Qi Hehua actually felt distressed when she saw this little girl's dirty appearance. The child looked only six or seven years old. A mouthful of rice.
"It just so happened that I steamed the meat buns before going to bed last night. I'll heat them up and cook some porridge for breakfast." Qi Hehua hurried over and squatted down, carefully sizing up the little girl.
"How old are you? What's your name?" Qi Hehua asked.
The little girl is so obedient, she seems to know that Qi Hehua has no malicious intentions, and she blushes a little shyly, "I am seven years old...my family used to call me Zhaodi."
Lin Huiru was very impressed by the name Zhaodi. Disgusted, the people who got this name are almost all the ones who want their son crazy.
"Then why are you outside alone, wearing such thin clothes, is it cold?" Qi Hehua's heart ached even more.
The girl stopped talking when she asked here, and Lin Huiru made up a scene of selling her daughter in order to raise her son. Afraid of causing bad memories for this girl, she hurriedly interrupted Qi Hehua, "Mom, I also I'm hungry, let's warm up the food first."
Lin Huiru winked at Qi Hehua, but Qi Hehua understood, nodded and went to the kitchen.
"Come on, don't be afraid, we have no malicious intentions, let me wash your face and hands before eating." Lin Huiru fetched water, hugged the little girl in her arms, and washed her dirty little hands and face three times before showing The original face.
With a small face and a small mouth, and a pair of big watery eyes, if she hadn't wandered around, she should be a little girl in vain.
After dinner, Lin Huiru always felt that the child would get sick in such thin clothes, so she went out to buy a small set of clothes. When she came back, she saw Qi Hehua standing at the door sighing, a little embarrassed.
"Mother, why are you standing outside?" Lin Huiru stepped forward to take Qi Hehua's arm and asked puzzledly.
Qi Hehua looked at Lin Huiru, and sighed again, "Xiaoru, mother is really worried about this girl, she's still so young, and it's going to be summer soon, so how can she live in winter?" "It's still
so Naive, if someone has ulterior motives, this little girl's life will be over." After speaking, Qi Hehua burst into tears, "I don't know where this child's family is. Back then, your father and I accidentally planted the land. You forgot in the field, and almost scared me and your father to death."
Seeing that Qi Hehua was worried about these problems, Lin Huiru also felt a little uncomfortable, the poor people she met before could still take care of each other, this one The seven-year-old child is still a girl outside by herself, so how can she talk about living?
"Mother, since you are so worried, why don't you just leave her at home for a few days, and I'll get someone to draw some notices and see if it is true." It wasn't someone who got lost." Lin Huiru comforted Qi Hehua, only feeling that the matter was mysterious.
With such a name, and why she separated from her family, the little girl was unwilling to say, probably she was either abandoned or sold.
But there is no guarantee that there will be a misunderstanding. For the sake of this girl's future, posting a few notices is nothing.
"Hey, that's exactly what I thought. Mother's Xiaoru is still so kind when she grows up. I was afraid that you wouldn't want to." Qi Hehua was a little embarrassed.
Lin Huiru smiled helplessly, "How could I be that kind of person? By the way, these are the clothes I bought for you. I have to go to the shop again, so please give that girl a bath and change her clothes. "
"Yeah, it's my mother who wants to go wrong, so you go early and come back early, and come back for lunch?" Qi Hehua took over the burden, and her hanging heart fell to the ground.
"I won't come back at noon. I have to go to the city. I try to come back before dinner. If I can't come back, I will stay in the city." It's too late for the appointment time with Zhou Man'er!
By the time she trots into the shop, Zhou Man'er has already finished drinking a cup of milk tea.
"Miss Xiaoru, you're late." Zhou Man'er pouted.
Chapter 208 Conspiracy
"There is something temporary at home. I invite you to eat delicious food at noon today. How is it? Has that matter been resolved?" Lin Huiru sat down and poured herself a cup of tea to moisten her throat.
Only then did Zhou Man'er laugh, "Of course, I don't even look at who I am, but that person also bought his rough stones in bulk from the mine, and he wanted to ask sister Xiaoru how much you want to use." "This
... At least get five or six yuan bigger than a fist first, and the fineness is not high." Lin Huiru rubbed her chin, if she sells barbecue, she still has a lot of things to exchange in the space.
"Cough...Miss Xiaoru, are you going to make a jade stool? Why do you want so much all of a sudden? Or...are you rich?" Zhou Maner choked, and teased after recovering.
"Don't ask children about adults, how about it, do you have time to invite someone to help me discuss this big business?" Lin Huiru blinked.
Zhou Man'er curled her lips, "His house seems not far from Miss Xiao Ru's house, and he stays at home all year round. I'll write you the address later, and knock on the door if you have time." This way, it will be more
convenient .
"You have finally grown up and can help me solve my problems. Sister, I am very pleased." Lin Huiru deliberately put on a show, and even stretched out her hand to give Zhou Maner a hug.
Zhou Man'er frowned, and opened her mouth after avoiding it, "I don't care about this, Miss Ru, didn't you say you want to take me to eat delicious food? I've done this, let's go now!"
"You're embarrassing me for this. You can't go now, and I have to make it now. Well, I'll let you eat it the day after tomorrow at the latest. You can fill your stomach at noon today, and I have to go to the city. Come here." Lin Huiru hurriedly finished speaking and was about to go out, there was no way, her schedule today was too full.
"Are you going to play in the city? Take me with you! I want to buy some more clothes!" Zhou Man'er's eyes sparkled when he mentioned going to play.
Lin Huiru rubbed the space between her eyebrows helplessly, "I have business to do, let's go play together when I'm done. At this juncture, it's important for you to watch your own shop clean up first, right?"
After a lecture, Zhou Man'er had no choice but to agree, looking a little listless, "Okay, then remember to bring me a gift when you come back, and don't forget to give me something delicious to eat." "Okay, okay
, I can't forget you." Lin Huiru poked her forehead helplessly, greeted Zhao Xing and went out.
After renting a carriage, Lin Huiru went straight to the provincial capital. On the way, she flashed into the space and made a jade pendant to change the barbecue ingredients. After she fell asleep and knocked her forehead several times, she arrived at Zhou's house.
It's a coincidence that it's better to come early than to come. As soon as she got off the carriage, she met Jia Fugui who was about to go out.
Jia Fugui is also a sharp-eyed master. When he saw Lin Huiru, his eyes flickered, and he hurried over, "Hey, Boss Lin is here, I don't know why?" "There is a big business, I don't know Boss
Jia Are you interested?" Lin Huiru deliberately hooked Jia Fugui's curiosity, pretending to be mysterious.
Lin Huiru said it was a big business, so Jia Fugui decided that it must be a big business, "Housekeeper, let's not go out today, another day, Boss Lin finally came to the door and invited the cook from that building directly." Let's cook."
"Hey, good." The butler nodded in response, then changed to a carriage and went out for Jia Fugui.
"Boss Jia, I have something new here, do you want to try something new?" Lin Huiru blinked at Jia Fugui. In fact, she was not interested in the so-called chef, they were just home-cooked dishes.
She got addicted to grilling fish yesterday, and today she wants to have a grilling addiction.
When he heard that it was food, Jia Fugui nodded more quickly than a chicken pecking rice, "Of course, what do you want, Boss Lin, I'll let someone prepare it."
"Then, one catty of mutton, one catty of pork belly, it must be good pork belly, and one catty of chicken wings, and then buy some potatoes, eggplants, peppers, garlic, and leeks, and prepare a few bricks, as well as an iron fence." Zhang and a catty of charcoal." Lin Huiru reported the names of many things, and Jia Fugui hurriedly asked someone to write them down, for fear of missing the delicious food.
At first, Jia Fugui thought that Lin Huiru would come to him for hot pot again, but after thinking about it, the mess behind it should not be as simple as he thought.
"Also, please trouble Boss Jia to buy some sticks of candied haws. Let's feast on it later." Just thinking about the long-lost fireworks, Lin Huiru couldn't help swallowing.
As a result, although this lunch was made by a famous chef, Lin Huiru felt that the taste was not satisfactory.
After finally buying all the things, Lin Huiru was doing the knife in the kitchen, while Jia Fugui was watching from the sidelines, urging his servants to help from time to time, "Boss Lin, you are just watching here, how about your winks?" "Come on
, The mutton and pork are just cut into this size, and then threaded on the sticks like this, don't wear too much. The chicken wings are scratched twice like this, and then put on the two sticks..." Lin Huiru taught the kitchen hand in hand, and went to the front desk again Move in ready yard.
Originally, Lin Huiru wanted to light a fire on the spot, but Jia Fugui said that it was nothing more than a table, and it would burn out if it burned out, so Lin Huiru was not polite, and set up the bricks, leaving a long strip, and then started burning charcoal .
"Are we making it so early? I just finished eating, and I haven't had time to digest it yet." Jia Fugui was so full just now, even if Lin Huiru's sauce that he can make is fragrant, he still can't eat it. .
"Don't worry, you have to prepare for a while. Take advantage of this time, Boss Jia, you can still buy some edamame and peanut stew. I guarantee that the taste will be right." After Lin Huiru finished speaking, Jia Fugui ordered people to do it the next moment. That work efficiency is astonishing.
"These things are almost ready, and Boss Lin still doesn't talk about what we are going to do?" Jia Fugui was a little ready to move, it was about making money, and everyone would be more attentive several times.
Lin Huiru crossed his arms and pointed at the pile of things with his chin, "This is what we're going to do, but it won't be so simple by then. Boss Jia will have a taste by then, won't he be able to make a decision?"
Seeing Lin Huiru's determination to win, Jia Fugui had to believe.
"Master, the magistrate of Zheng County has come to invite you for tea." The butler suddenly reported through the arches.
But it's better to come early than coincidentally. When Jia Fugui heard that he was the county magistrate, he felt a little overwhelmed. Although they made it easy for the officialdom and the shopping mall, the magistrate Zheng talked a lot and always complained about the affairs of the yamen. Being rich will inevitably cause some headaches, and since the county magistrate has come, there is no time when he does not leave food.
Chapter 209 Master Han
"My lord, Zheng Xiancheng also brought a lord, the county magistrate who came from Beijing to deliver a message. I'm afraid we can't see him." The housekeeper showed a look of embarrassment. This entertainment and business collide, which is really troublesome.
But Jia Fugui was not flustered. Although an adult of the sixth rank of Beijing Middle School came, this rank was not too high. He read Lin Huiru's barbecue very closely, and it might not be a big deal for him to come here. , might as well be mixed together.
"Hey, Boss Lin, do you know if these things are enough for four people?" Jia Fugui turned around and asked in a flash of inspiration.
Lin Huiru froze for a moment, then shook her head helplessly, "I'm afraid it's not enough. If it's for four people, I suggest you buy more mutton, or some shrimp and crab. After all, these are all officials, so I'm afraid I'll lose them." Boss Jia, your face." "
That's okay, but you write them the things that can be used for barbecue, and let them prepare them quickly according to the portion. I will introduce you to two adults later. You can't do business without officials. We deal with you." After Jia Fugui finished speaking, he raised his sleeves and trotted out to meet the guests with the housekeeper.
Lin Huiru was lost in thought. What Jia Fugui said was right. If you want to expand your business, you will inevitably have to establish a good relationship with local officials. She is very likely to be in the capital in the future, but the one who comes here today is from the capital. Although the county magistrate is also an official, his weight is much heavier than that of the county magistrate.
This may be a good opportunity.
It wasn't her money that was spent on buying things left and right, and Lin Huiru was not stingy, and she wrote down all the things that could be used for barbecue.
...
"I have met the magistrate of Han and the magistrate of Zheng. It is a great honor for the two of you to come to my humble house." Jia Fugui had a face like a Buddha, and he smiled very kindly.
Zheng Xiancheng nodded, "This is the magistrate of Han County from the middle of Beijing. He is here for business. I heard that Boss Jia's hot pot skewers are very famous, so I want to come and taste it. I wonder if I can trouble Boss Jia. lead the way."
"Master Han is really discerning. I dare say that our hot pot skewers are the best in such a big country, but I am not the one who made them, and it is too hot to eat hot pot around the road at this time." Jia Fugui said, and then changed the topic, "But it's a coincidence that you two came earlier than before. Boss Lin, who makes hot pot skewers and milk tea, happened to come to my house today to talk about something. We are preparing to make new delicacies. Why don't you two Stay in the humble house and have a taste?"
Han Zhixian was a bit disdainful after hearing this, he is a native of the capital, and he has never eaten any delicious food under the feet of the emperor, but he wants to see the nouveau riche in this small place. make something.
"Okay, since Boss Jia has already said that, if I don't taste it, I'm afraid it will be my regret, so I won't bother you." After finishing speaking, Han Zhixian held his head high and held his chest high, not treating himself as an outsider at all, and just wandered around Jia's mansion up.
If the eight poles can't get together, who can spoil who?
Hanzhi County is aggrieved while wandering around. A mere local businessman can still live in such a good house. They have to hide under the foot of the emperor. Look, I'm really suffocated.
And Jia Fugui also thinks that Han Zhixian is not pleasing to the eye, but he can only be accompanied by him, "Master Han, it is inevitable to be hot outside, I sent someone to bring back some milk tea to cool off, why not?" Let's go into the house and
have a taste." When it comes to milk tea, Han Zhixian's first impression is the milk tea brought by the Mongolian people during festivals or offensives
. , Boss Jia is bothering you." Han Zhixian's attitude is still arrogant.
Zheng Xiancheng was a little helpless, and he couldn't get used to the superior look of the county magistrate Han. To put it bluntly, he was not just a county magistrate, but he was the county magistrate Buck in the capital.
In the other courtyard, Lin Huiru sat on a stone bench and hadn't gone to the front hall for a long time, so anxious that the housekeeper came to urge him, "Boss Lin, Mr. Han and the master are going to have tea together, so hurry up too , let's tidy up here."
"It's not a question of whether to clean up or not. Since he is an official from the capital, the housekeeper, don't you think this thing looks too shabby?" Lin Huiru looked at the oven that turned her head and rubbed the center of her eyebrows .
As far as she and Jia Fugui are acquainted, it might be okay to sit and eat together, but suddenly two officials appeared... "
This... is indeed a little bit, so in your opinion, what should I do?" He neither knew nor knew what Lin Huiru was going to do.
Lin Huiru held her chin and pondered for a long time, "Is there any rectangular iron box about the size of this thing in your mansion? The ones you don't want, as long as they can withstand the fire.
" Find it, if it doesn't work, I'll urge someone to make one, do you think it's okay?" The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, he was the one who took care of the whole house, and he really didn't have such a thing in his memory... "It's just one afternoon, do
it Can you come out?" Lin Huiru expressed doubts, but after all, money can make ghosts grind, and Jia's family should not be short of connections and money. If it can be done, the size is about one foot wide and eight feet long."
The steward nodded hurriedly, but it was just a matter of bending a piece of iron sheet a few times, "Okay, I'll go right away, don't worry, I will definitely be able to make it Yes."
"By the way, we have to make an iron net that can be placed inside, and leave air outlets on the left and right." Lin Huiru hurriedly instructed the butler from behind.
"Hey, okay, Boss Lin, hurry up and go to the front hall." The butler trotted out, and Lin Huiru was a little nervous on the spot.
Seeing the official, she should have met Zheng Xiancheng before, that is, the time when Lin Dashan's family was sent to prison, but the one from Beijing is probably difficult to get along with.
She took a few deep breaths and groped her way to the front hall.
In the front hall, Zhixian Han looked at the paper cup and straw that he had never seen before, and he didn't understand how to use it for a while, until he saw Zheng Xiancheng's cheeks moved slightly, and then he sucked it up suspiciously, but he sucked it all at once. Too much, and he coughed so much that he choked.
Looking at this scene, Jia Fugui felt a little gloating. The people in this city are not very good, and they can't even use a straw. It's a shame, "Master Han, you just need to suck it lightly. There are chewy coconuts and pearls, and it's really a pleasure to have a sip of milk tea."
As he spoke, Jia Fugui took a sip, Hanzhi County felt a little embarrassed, but this milk tea is better than the one brought by the Mongolian people He drank too much, and he couldn't help but drink two more sips without thinking about talking. It didn't take long for the cup of milk tea to run out, and there was a sizzling sound.
Chapter 210 Eye-opening
.Zheng Xiancheng and Jia Fugui, who often drink, held back their smiles, "What do you think of this taste? You need to have another cup to try."
Han Zhixian also understood what was going on, and coughed a few times uncomfortably to ease the embarrassment After that, I didn't even bother to talk when I took the milk tea from the servant, I drank it all in one go, and my belly was full.
Seeing his ignorance, Jia Fugui's heart was full of ridicule. ââLin Huiru, who happened to be looking for the way, passed by the door. Jia Fugui's eyes lit up, and he stopped
her, "Boss Lin, I've been waiting here for a long time."
. "I have met the two adults. Some things have delayed the grassroots. I hope the two adults will not be offended." "
Boss Lin, let me introduce you. This is our county magistrate, Mr. Zheng. This is from Beijing Han University in Han Zhi County." Jia Fugui cleared his throat and pointed to each of them.
"I have met Mr. Han and Mr. Zheng." Lin Huiru nodded and greeted him respectfully.
Han Zhixian was a little surprised when he saw Lin Huiru, because Lin Huiru's every move was graceful and calm, and he didn't look like a person from a small place at all. , The appearance is comparable to the concubine in the palace.
"Miss Lin, you are welcome, please take a seat." Facing the woman, Zhixian Han did not seem so arrogant.
Jia Fugui rolled his eyes, and immediately said, "Master Han, this is Boss Lin who makes a lot of delicious food in this county, and even the cups of this milk tea are made by her hands. Boss Lin, just now, Master Han I'm full of praise for your milk tea."
"This milk tea is indeed fresh, and the taste is comparable to Master Tangshui, who is favored by the emperor, Miss Lin is really amazing." Zhixian Han praised Jia Fugui even more in his heart She's a bumpkin, but she's just a girl who has made money, so she can be considered a boss?
It's not elegant at all.
"Mr. Han, this milk tea is made of milk and fresh tea. It is suitable for all ages. It is light and palatable. It is very nutritious to drink more at ordinary times." Lin Huiru boasted, after all, she did not blend it with powder, so of course she gained weight It is unavoidable...
"To be honest, some Mongolians once paid tribute to something called milk tea, but why is it different from what the girl made?" Zhixian Han raised her eyebrows, eager to show her knowledge, she was still naive Some people think that Lin Huiru has never tasted it, and use this to create topics.
Lin Huiru smiled respectfully, thinking that this person is not a fool, "Returning to my lord, my cooking method is different from that of the Mongolian people. Besides, we have more cooking materials in the Central Plains than the Mongolian people. A small difference is enough to cause a lot of trouble. There are two different tastes, and the Mongolian people mostly use beef and mutton, so they can accept a certain milky smell, but the taste of the Central Plains is different. My milk tea is suitable for the taste of the Central Plains people." "Miss Lin has also been to the Mongolian
people ?" Han Zhixian pretended to be coercive, but was taught a lot of knowledge, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
"That's not true, but I just heard about it." Lin Huiru was also a little guilty. Even in modern times, she didn't have the opportunity to go to Mongolia to see the grasslands and ride a horse, but with modern knowledge, she has already understood most of the cities. Taste and get used to.
Until sunset, Hanzhi County kept finding topics, and Lin Huiru was a little tired. Fortunately, the housekeeper rescued him in time, "Master, everything Boss Lin wants is ready, and it's not too early now. Can you prepare dinner?"
"Boss Lin, how long will it take to prepare this barbecue?" Jia Fugui asked.
Lin Huiru thought for a while, "It will take a lot of time to get ready, everyone continue to chat, I'll go get ready first." "
Okay, then I'll trouble Boss Lin." Jia Fugui nodded, full of anticipation in his heart, listening This Han magistrate has been nagging for so long, he is going to starve to death.
Lin Huiru also let out a sigh of relief when he went out, this Han Zhixian is really too good at nonsense.
In the other courtyard, a lot of stone benches were ordered according to Lin Huiru's intention. The huge courtyard was brightly lit like daytime, and the large stone table in the middle was piled full of barbecue skewers, which still looked good at first glance.
Burning the fire and rubbing the oil, Lin Huiru kept busy, waiting for the meat to be roasted, brushed with sauce and sprinkled with barbecue ingredients, the aroma mixed with the smell of mutton came out, not to mention Lin Huiru, even the servant next to him Also greedy drool.
Lin Huiru tasted a skewer, and the freshly roasted mutton was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste surpassed the skewers and became the light of life in her heart.
After tidying up everything, Lin Huiru and Jia Fugui came following the taste. Their mouths were full of oil and they were satisfied. A mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine was a bliss in the world, and the three of them couldn't even talk.
Han Zhixian, who originally thought she was just a little girl trying her luck, also changed her prejudice against Lin Huiru. This meal conquered his stomach, and even when he was full, he still missed the taste.
Sending off Zheng Xiancheng and Han Zhixian who helped each other to go out, Lin Huiru had time to bake some of his favorite food, drinking tea with the evening breeze, without beer, but a lot of fun was missing.
"Originally, I thought skewers were the most unique and delicious food I've ever eaten, but I've changed my mind now, and this thing called barbecue is the best." Jia Fugui sighed while clutching his stomach.
Lin Huiru smiled, "Anything I sell must be a high-quality product. I want to open a store to sell this, but the financial problem is difficult to operate. I came here to find Boss Jia and you to cooperate. I don't know what Boss Jia wants?
" Gobble it up like this group of people who have never eaten, but feel that this is the most time to relax leisurely.
"Of course that's good. I'll show my face, you show this technology, let's drive 64, I 6 you 4." After all, Jia Fugui has cooperated with Lin Huiru a lot, and there is no delay in things that have the know-how.
"I can sell you all of this method. This is the only company with unique materials. If you don't cooperate, I will find someone else." Lin Huiru took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth.
When Jia Fugui heard that he had full rights to buy out, he became excited again. The business opportunity he saw on this barbecue was great. "This relationship is good. We have cooperated so many times. Can Boss Lin give me a discount?"
"That's no good, I'll give it to you exclusively, and you can sell it in the county or the main city. You can imagine how much money you can make." Taking root in the capital, she can't care about the money for a month or two, so she can't pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon.
Seeing Lin Huiru's expression was wrong, Jia Fugui rolled his eyes, sat up straight and asked, "Boss Lin, are you short of money recently?"
