24. Chapter 24
Who knew that during this period of time, there were no longer bumps every day, and a period of comfortable life made Lin Zimo have a small wind chill after arriving home. The more than 20,000 taels of silver made the whole family happy, and at the same time worried about Lin Zimo's body. Fortunately, I was diligent in exercising during this time, and the little wind and cold lingered for four or five days and finally got better, but my body was still a little weak, and my grandmother and mother gave Lin Zimo supplements every day.
On this day, Ouyang Zhi personally came to give the New Year's gift, and his family's New Year's gift was also special, and he actually sent a family of people over: a couple about forty years old, with a sixteen or seventeen-year-old son, and an eleven or twelve-year-old daughter.
The Lin family was also busy a few years ago, and today Lin Huaide happened to take his two sons to the farm he bought to appease the hired workers there, and only Lin Zimo was left in the family.
Ouyang Zhi glanced at Lin Zimo a little strangely: "Third Brother Lin, why do I see you looking more and more strange?" Lin Zimo reacted and scolded: "You look strange, what do you mean?" Ouyang Zhi saw that he was anxious, and changed the topic with a smile: "The family I came to bring this time is the subordinate of a petty official under my father, and he is not bad, that petty official was involved in a case and was removed, and he couldn't take these people away, so he begged his father, and was sent to the house by his father, I thought that you were short of people here, so I sent it to your family." ”
Lin Zimo is very grateful, although there is a deed of sale, it is best to know the roots. Moreover, this family has been in the official family, although it is a petty official, it has also seen the world more than his own family, which is rare: "Thank you, Brother Ouyang, my family is welcome, and when there is a new project, I still give priority to Brother Ouyang's family." ”
Ouyang Zhi's spirits perked up, Lin Zimo said this, there must be a backhand: "Oh, I don't know what good things Brother Lin has come up with?" "Lin Zimo's shot must be a high-quality product, there is no doubt about it.
Lin Zimo smiled, went out in person, and brought in a small black wine jar after a while. Ouyang Zhi was a little disappointed: "Brother Lin's home-brewed wine?" Lin Zimo didn't speak, slapped open the wine jar and sealed it, and a rich aroma of wine hit, which immediately made Ouyang Zhi stand up.
Lin Zimo had heard a poem before: Mo laughed at the farmer's wine, and he was still laughing at the time, where was the clear and bright wine? Don't be a poet's metaphor! There is also a sifting of wine in the novel, and I don't know what's going on. When I saw the wine drunk by the people here, I realized that the wine brewed here was the same as in the novel, there was no distillation technology, and the wine soup was turbid, so I had to wait for the wine to be hot, precipitate, and pour out the clear wine, Lin Zimo had tasted some in Ouyang's house, and the alcohol content was limited.
As soon as the winter began, Lin Zimo grinded Lin Huaide to brew two cylinders of sorghum wine, sorghum can grow in the corners, ditches, and thin alkali fields, and is currently the cheapest food.
Lin Zimo read the simple wine steamer in the novel, and he can still remember a rough idea, so he asked his father to find someone to make it. Not to mention, I came back from vacation a few days ago and tried it, and after dozens of practical years, I sweated a few fathers and brothers, and finally succeeded. Two hundred catties of one tank, two tanks of a total of four hundred catties of mixed wine, distilled one hundred and twenty catties of high-grade sorghum wine, clear and bright wine soup, about fifty degrees, so that Lin Huaide shouted "happy" and regretted brewing less.
poured a little wine for Ouyang Zhi, Ouyang Zhi hurriedly took a sip, choked out, and stuck out his tongue: "It's such a spicy wine, my old lady and father love to drink it, this kind of wine is made, it is difficult not to get rich." Zhengse said: "I hope that Brother Lin will also hand over this wine to my family to sell, and we will cooperate again." ”
Lin Zimo nodded, the initial cooperation with the Ouyang family was very pleasant, and he did not look down on his family because he was an ordinary farmer, and he did not deduct it, this is the best collaborator at present: "Of course, but at present, there are more than 100 catties of wine, if you want to cooperate, come up with a charter, how many catties of wine can be sold?" After waiting for the year to build a workshop to brew. ”
Ouyang Zhi hurriedly said: "Sell me all these more than 100 catties of wine, and my family will use it as a New Year's gift." Lin Zimo said with a smile: "My family also has to give New Year's gifts, I originally planned to send twenty catties to your family, Liu Langzhong to send twenty catties, and Mr. Chen to send twenty catties." "This is the only thing that the Lin family has come up with, and the other one is sweet potato vermicelli. The Lin family has no relatives, the old man is a single seedling, he left home in his early years, and now he is a distant clansman. As for my mother's mother's family, and the only aunt, they are all in Wuyang, Fucheng, the road is too far, it is not easy to go there, and I haven't been there for several years.
"Then sell me the rest." Lin Zimo still shook his head: "Give you fifty catties, and I have to leave ten catties for my father to drink." "Daddy has already taken aim at it, and he drinks two taels every two days.
No way, Ouyang Zhi nodded, but fortunately, there were still twenty catties for his own family, and there were seventy catties in total. I believe that this year's New Year's gift is very popular. took out two hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the kang table: "Thank you Brother Lin for letting me, please accept these." "Fifty catties of wine were sold for two hundred taels, which is also a high price.
Lin Zimo confiscated it, pushed the silver ticket back, and now his life is very good, he just received 20,000 taels of silver, and these two hundred taels are more valuable than the money he spent in his hand: "Brother Ouyang looks at his brother, so he will put this money away, and the wine is a New Year's gift from my family, and next year's business will have to rely on it." ”
Ouyang Zhi smiled "haha" and put it away, his own brothers, the interests are combined, there is no need to calculate this kind of fine account, just keep this love in mind: "In this way, you are not welcome to your brother, and you will accept it." ”
When the Lin family father and son came back, the new subordinate came to visit. The man at the head was in his thirties, with a white face and a hint of shrewdness, the woman stood behind with her head bowed, and the two children looked around curiously. After asking about the name, surname, and ability, the man who was the head of the family hurriedly said: "The slave's original surname is Lin, and when he arrived at the old man's mansion in front, he followed the old man in front of him Xingyang, whose name is Yang Youfu, the Hunjia Chen family, his son Yang Xiaoshu, and his daughter Yang Xiaomiao."
"Poof", Lin Zimo couldn't hold back, laughed, and lowered his head under his father's gaze. It's so funny, little tree, little seedling, this is so talented to take this kind of name, but it's funny.
Lin Huaide said gently: "Our family is a farmer, not so particular, as long as you do your job well, since your surname is Lin, then return to your surname, and change it when you report your household registration." Now the man named Lin Youfu is busy thanking him, and he is very happy to be able to restore his original surname with the same surname as the master's family.
In the end, it used to be a well-off family, and there were also subordinates, and the family faced the kneeling of Lin Fu's family, except for Lin Zimo who was a little uncomfortable, no one else felt anything, and calmly looked at the people kneeling below, all of them had a bit of a master's posture.
With the help of these people, the family is a lot easier. After a few more days of chaos, after sending New Year's gifts to Liu Langzhong's family and Mr. Chen's family, Liu Langzhong's family returned the gift. The family of the patriarch in the village, several old people's families, the sixth grandmother and several other distant relatives all walked through, which was almost much simpler, and the family gave a piece of meat and two fish. Two catties of dim sum, everyone is happy, the people in the village are like this, there are not many high-end things, what I see is this heart.
People in the village have also come to the door of the Lin family one after another, and this year's blessing of the Tholin family, every family has a good income, and they can have a fat year. Thanks to this little wind and cold, Lin Zimo doesn't have to go out to socialize. Sitting in the room, you can hear the laughter in the living room. In particular, the sixth grandmother's voice was the loudest: "I thank my sister-in-law, my family has earned a lot of money this year, and six new houses have been built, and my youngest son will be married after the New Year, and several grandchildren also plan to go to school next year." As she spoke, the sixth grandmother's voice choked: "If it weren't for your family, let alone going to school and marrying a daughter-in-law, it would be difficult to eat!" Then came the grandmother's persuasion and everyone's sighs: "Yes, everyone is stained with the light of the Huaide family, don't say thank you, Huaide has something to say in the future, everyone has absolutely nothing to say." ”
