Chapter 235: A Two-Year Covenant
Knowing that they were going to fish, Lin Wensheng and the two guards immediately followed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWe are still discussing how to go hunting in the mountains if the snow is thinner in two days.
Fishing is also interesting.
It was already snowing when I fished last time, but this time it didn't stop for a few days, but fortunately, it gradually cleared up after the year, and there was finally a hope, and everyone was making preparations.
It was a bustling morning near the riverbank to the west of the village, and a lot of fish were caught at noon.
Although the winter is cold and the river is frozen, as long as the ice is cut, the water inside is not as cold as outside, and the fish swim freely in the water.
However, this is not the north after all, and everyone will not recklessly walk on the ice, but will dig ice into the river along the bank of the river, melt the ice with fire, and dissolve a large area the size of a puddle of water.
The small nets used were easy to operate, and there were more nets than on the day of the snow a year ago, and everyone was very happy.
Lin Tianxue and Lin Tianhua happily sent the fish back, and ran back again, regardless of whether the shoes were dirty or not.
At noon that day, Su Fang started to cook again, mainly making fish, one steamed, one braised boiled, one fish fillet hot pot, and one stewed milky white soup.
The fish alone made four dishes and put them on the table, but fortunately, she picked all the fish with chopsticks, otherwise it would be wasted if she couldn't finish eating. Fish fillet hot pot is a large fish divided into two pots and placed on the table.
The small fish are also cut out, smeared with salt, skewered and hung on a clothes pole, waiting for some air drying, and then wrapped in flour and fried.
Just listening to her how to eat, the foodies smacked their lips.
Although except for the fish fillet hot pot, the others are not unusual, but for some reason, listening to Su Fang's description, I think it is particularly delicious.
In addition to bean sprouts, pepper is also put in the fish fillet hot pot, which is fragrant and spicy, and repels the cold.
The braised fish is served with shredded dried chili peppers and a small pot of coriander and shallots, which are said to have been planted by Su Fang in the Westhouse.
Su Fang did bring out a pot filled with soil, and explained that it could be planted if it was warmer in the house, so everyone had no doubts.
However, because Su Fang opened the door of the Westinghouse study, everyone was stunned when they saw the ingredients in the big vat and small cans.
Lin Tianming explained that he went up to the mountain last year to find some wild fruits, wild vegetables and spices made from salt and flour at home, and sold them to restaurants to make money.
When Lin Wensheng heard this, he suddenly realized, no wonder there was such a big yard built in the village, just a little bit of land, but he lived so leisurely just by hunting.
It turns out that there is such a business.
Lin Wensheng's mind immediately turned away.
In the afternoon, Lin Wensheng called Lin Tianming to go to the East Chamber together, and talked about going to the capital with Aunt Lin.
"Originally, I was thinking about when it would be more appropriate to say it, since Tianming also does business, that is, he is not willing to live in a farm and wants to get ahead, so I opened up and said it. ”
Lin Wensheng is a martial artist, accustomed to getting straight to the point and going straight to the point. There are only their siblings and nephews here, and there is no need to say kind words.
Aunt Lin couldn't help but look at Lin Tianming worriedly when she heard this, Lin Tianming's expression was very calm, waiting for Lin Wensheng to say the following.
"We went to the capital this time, although the scenery, in fact, the road ahead is unpredictable, I am a military attache who fought the battlefield, and I have no relatives and no reason in the capital, and I don't know whether the officialdom is smooth. ”
"I don't have credible and capable people around me. Lin Wensheng looked at Lin Tianming when he said this, and asked seriously, "Tianming, are you willing to go to the capital with your uncle?"
"I don't want to. Lin Tianming replied naturally, his expression unchanged.
"......" Lin Wensheng looked at him in surprise, and didn't know how to answer for a while. Shouldn't normal be joy, nervousness, fear, yearning?
"Brother, your official is sealed by the imperial court, you are not blindly standing in line as an official, you don't have to worry about how deep the water is in the capital, and you will naturally stand firm in three or five years. ”
"Tianming is used to being wild in the mountains, and his temperament is cold, and his least favorite thing is to deal with people, and he will not be used to going to the capital, and our mother and son are also used to the life of Maple Village. ”
Aunt Lin hurriedly spoke, explaining helplessly. But it is also a polite refusal, and there is no room for accommodation.
"Sister, the benefits of going to the capital are definitely more than staying in Maple Leaf Village. Lin Wensheng didn't expect his sister to say this, so he couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"I have long intended to take you with me and go to the capital to live a good life, and my daughter-in-law also agreed, and took the initiative to tell me about it, take you all away, and the family is also lively together. ”
"Tianhua and Yue'er also have more families, and they will be happier. Tianxue also does not have to be nested in the village and do nothing. If you like to do business, you can also open a shop in the capital, and we are all together as a family. ”
"Tianhua and Yue'er have grown so big at the border, and they are more prosperous when they go to the capital, I just hope that they will not be tempted by the bad habits in the capital, and they can grow up well and be an excellent person. ”
Lin Tianming said calmly.
"Tianming, do you think that following your uncle will be inferior, and you don't want to do things for me? This is okay, I just said that you can open a shop to make a living, and I will buy the shop. ”
Lin Wensheng saw that Lin Tianming was unmoved, and suddenly thought of a thought, thinking that Lin Tianming was unwilling to take care of others, so he quickly changed his words.
"Shop, we will open to the capital one day, but not now. Lin Tianming said indifferently, "We set up a shop in the county seat a year ago, and we will open it after the New Year." ”
"Fang'er has experience in cooking, and she has been thinking about delicious dishes, which are all ready to be sold in restaurants. If the business is good, we plan to open another one next year. ”
"When the business is stable, we will always go to the capital to open a restaurant, but before that, we need to make a name for ourselves, instead of quietly opening and waiting for the business to come to the door. ”
"This needs to be accumulated, and it is not advisable to rush forward. If your uncle goes to the capital, you can also pay attention to the environment in the capital and what the people in the capital like to eat, and you can write back to inform you. ”
Lin Tianming saw that Lin Wensheng was depressed, and his attitude eased up, and he didn't refuse so directly.
"Then how long will we last year? Next year's New Year, whether you are ready to open a restaurant in the capital or not, bring your mother to the capital and celebrate the New Year with us. ”
Lin Wensheng spoke hopefully again, taking a step back, there would still be a good ending.
"Two years, I don't want to go to the capital too soon, after all, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, I am a rough man in the mountains, and I don't want to go there to be underestimated before I have a certain strength. ”
Lin Tianming suddenly said with a cold gaze.
"Okay, it's only two years, and when I go to the capital, I'll pay attention to your business affairs. Lin Wensheng saw that his expression had changed, so he had no choice but to compromise, but he muttered in his heart.
Even if this matter is initially negotiated verbally, the two-year contract will not be too long.
Everyone chatted for a few words, and Lin Wensheng asked Lin Tianming to leave, and he accompanied his sister to talk. The year has passed, and the day of departure is near.
