Chapter 246: Dignity
The next day, Lin Qingqing woke up from the chair and was stunned when he saw the clothes on his body. It's just that she didn't think about it, and dragged Hua Ming up from the chair.
"Hua Ming, it's time to work!" Lin Qingqing said in his ear.
After Lin Qingqing and Hua Ming ate the breakfast provided by the villagers of Xueyi Village early, they began a hard day.
First of all, they went to the blacksmith shop in Xueyi Village to locate some farm tools. Cultivating new fields is not the same as ordinary farming, especially in the special terrain of Xueyi Village.
Because there is a lot of gravel in the soil, Lin Qingqing ordered some targets, and a pickaxe, and then a huge plowshare.
There are some simple farm tools here, but they are all tools for light work, and today they can only be used.
Lin Qingqing asked a few villagers to collect rakes and hoes from Xueyi Village, and came to the place where the wasteland needed to be cleared.
"Start digging from here, first dig up the ground loose, and then rake out the rubble." Lin Qingqing simply said to a small group of villagers.
Hua Ming, on the other hand, together with some villagers, drew a line with lime powder. These lines are only preliminary boundaries and may be crossed out at that time, but they can at least serve as a way to divide the fields and arrange the work areas of the villages.
Lin Qingqing could obviously feel that the villagers in Xueyi Village were not as enthusiastic as the villagers in Jiangle Village, but Lin Qingqing couldn't say anything more.
After all, the so-called self-sufficiency means that in one's own small world, there is no competitive pressure and no environmental pressure. If they were extraordinarily diligent, Lin Qingqing would feel abnormal.
It's just that even if it can only be a little faster, Lin Qingqing also wants to improve their enthusiasm for work.
"Let's work harder, and I'll give you meat when you're done." Lin Qingqing shouted. Sure enough, when Lin Qingqing finished saying this, she could clearly feel that the enthusiasm of these villagers was much higher.
And the bacon she had planned to bring more in an emergency this time should be in vain.
After the tasks were assigned, the plots were divided, and the villagers were arranged to work on their respective plots. In this way, Lin Qingqing's work is almost completed in terms of opening up fields today.
However, it was only the opening part that was completed.
"Ah, I'm going to see the cattle farm and the barbecue farm." Lin Qingqing stretched his waist and said.
"Miss Lin, I really can't tell if you want to do it or not. If you don't want to do it, wouldn't it be better to give up sooner? Xueyi Village should be dispensable for Jiangle Village. Hua Ming asked puzzled.
"Of course it's important. It is true that for the current Jiangle Village, Xueyi Village is not important. However, for the sake of future development, Xueyi Village is the object that must be fought for. It takes up quite a bit of a place in my blueprint. Lin Qingqing explained.
"Miss Lin is really far-sighted, sometimes, as a man, I will be ashamed of you." Hua Ming shook his head and said.
"Don't pry me. The relationship between me and you is not that of a superior or a subordinate. Hua Ming, you just have to do what you think needs to be done. Lin Qingqing said to him.
Lin Qingqing wasn't that serious, but she didn't know that the girl opposite was serious.
"Do you just have to do what you think is right?" Hua Ming repeated.
"Hua Ming, you're pretending to be mature again." Lin Qingqing quipped.
Hua Ming, who was teased by Lin Qingqing, was a little at a loss, especially when Lin Qingqing stretched out his hand to touch his head, he didn't even think about whether to dodge or not.
Before that, Lin Qingqing withdrew his hand, feeling that this might hurt a teenager's self-esteem.
"By the way, Miss Lin, you said before that Xueyi Village is very important in the blueprint of people's plans, right?" Hua Ming obviously diverted the topic to hide his embarrassment at this time.
"Hmm. It's very important, after all, a Jiangle village is too small, and it is impossible for me to open too many shops in the village. Lin Qingqing said.
"If it's really that important, then why don't you hold it firmly?" Hua Ming asked. "Why build these things for it?"
"You're asking me why you want to build a livestock farm for Xueyi Village, right?" Lin Qingqing asked.
"Miss Lin, I know this is a bit immoral, but there is a saying called 'no treacherous business'." Hua Ming hinted.
"Hua Ming, you've read enough, but do you know? At the beginning, those four words were not 'no treacherous business', but no sharp business.
This is used to describe the owner of a rice shop, who will pile up a sharp spot on the rice for customers. Lin Qingqing said.
Hearing Lin Qingqing's words, Hua Ming didn't know how to answer, so he just looked at her blankly.
"Hua Ming, don't look at my usual big goals, but the goals I aim at are all hoping to be obtained in a legitimate, sincere, and dignified way."
"Hmm. I understand. Hua Ming replied in a low voice.
After talking to Hua is words, Lin Qingqing himself was not so sure. She actually thought about the plan proposed by Hua Ming.
At present, Xueyi Village is dependent on Jiangle Village in terms of meat. If Lin Qingqing had built a livestock farm for them, then this unilateral dependence would have inevitably dissolved.
"Then don't become a unilateral dependence, and turn it into a cooperation between the two sides, won't it?" Lin Qingqing said with deep awareness.
The farm is temporarily unable to start construction. Besides, if there is not enough food, what can we do to feed the livestock?
And next, the opponent is the barbecue field.
Lin Qingqing had contacted some foot merchants earlier and asked them to bring him some spices from all over the world. And this time, in order to deal with the topic of barbecue, Lin Qingqing also made some efforts.
At present, the only barbecue that can be made can be marinated meat. After all, to transport meat to Xueyi Village, it is too difficult to transport live pigs. Therefore, Lin Qingqing has always been to Xueyi Village to transport simply marinated pork.
However, this time it was for the barbecue, so it couldn't be so sloppy. cloves, star anise, fennel...... Lin Qing marinated the pork with these spices early in the morning.
But now, it still needs to be marinated once. Ginger, whole green onion, garlic cloves, cooking wine. Lin Qingqing mixed these things into the marinated meat and put them for another half an hour.
Then, Lin Qingqing found the rocks that had been scorched by the geoheat, brushed them with oil, and put the cured meat on them.
As soon as the meat was put on, the smell of spices was baked, and the air was filled with an enticing aroma, and Village Chief Wan was obviously the one who was tempted.
"Miss Lin, did you develop a secret recipe so quickly?" Village Chief Wan was intoxicated by the aroma of barbecued meat and asked.
"It's still early, and if you want to develop a marinade that can be called a 'secret recipe', you need to change it forty or fifty times." Lin Qingqing said.
"So complicated?" The village chief looked unbelievable.
Then, he cut off a slice of meat that had been grilled to perfection, put it in his mouth, and said, "I thought it would be easy to get out of the secret recipe." ”
