"During this time, the family is busy, and it is almost winter, and the family's firewood and forage reserves are not enough, and I can't spare time to go to the mountains to cut for the time being, I want you to collect some to survive this winter."

Although you can live in a new house before winter, the consumption of firewood will not be low, and if you don't store it in advance, you will have to go to the mountains when it is cold and snowy.

Thinking of the winter of previous years, the original body always drove the Lin family brothers up the mountain to chop firewood, the nose was blue and the face was swollen, the hands and feet were full of chilblains and pus, and the wind and cold were not all over from the beginning of winter to the end of winter, she couldn't help but want to be better for them, not only to let them spend this winter warm and healthy, but also every winter in the future.

"Auntie, don't worry, I will arrange it today, and keep it for this winter so that you will not lack firewood." Lin Cong hurriedly responded, "There are many wild fruits on the mountain during this time, do you want to harvest some too?" ”

"What kind of fruit are there?"

"Several mountain persimmons at the head of the village are ripe, I followed the mountain a few days ago, in addition to the persimmons, the chicken feet on the mountain are also ripe."

Jiang Yan nodded, she was busy with family affairs during this time, she may not have been on the mountain for a long time, this season, the wild chestnut prickly pear on the mountain is eating when she can eat it.

And the chicken paws that Lin Cong said are citrus aurantiums, called chicken paws in Linjia Village, also called jujubes, this kind of thing is strange and strange, that is, like a straw twisted into a ball, and each joint has two small black balls, usually one or so in a small section, just like two small bells, Jiang Yan only ate it at her grandmother's house when she was a child.

The farmer is reluctant to buy fruit to eat, there is no fruit ripe on the mountain, will go up the mountain to pick some, this chicken paw is juicy, easy to pick, and the taste is sweet, not only children like, adults also like to eat, and people with conditions, will also pick some to soak in wine.

"You look at all the collection, starting next month, in addition to the fixed monthly money every month, you will be given a commission according to the amount you receive back, you run around and work hard, and after the new house is built, you pull one of the family's ox carts to use, and you can borrow other people's ox carts everywhere."

When Lin Cong heard this, his pupils widened, and he almost couldn't believe what he heard, others didn't know, but he knew very well, a little commission was not much, but the goods he recovered in one day were worth a lot!

The weather is a little cold these days, and the amount of goods received is smaller, but there are more than five taels of silver, according to a point commission, he can get 50 copper plates, and there are more than one or two in a month, which is still calculated according to the minimum amount.

Putting this aside, one or two ox carts will be rationed in the future, and there will be two or three families in the village where Aunt Jiang's family has an ox cart, and he will soon become the next one! Although the ox cart is not for him, it can be used, and it is the first one in Linjia Village!

"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in the future, if you let me go east, I will never go west!"

Jiang Yan nodded and said, "It's also very hard for you to come to several villages alone to collect goods, and now that the roads in the village have been repaired, you can adjust some prices appropriately and let the villagers from other villages send the mountain goods over." ”

!!

"yes, I didn't think of that! After ordering the goods, they sent them over, and we were giving money, which not only made them make money, but also helped us save time and costs for transportation. ”

The more Lin Cong thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and he was annoyed that he didn't think of it at first, otherwise the daily volume of goods would only increase.

The two chatted for a while about the delivery of goods, and Lin Cong also shrugged his nose and left.

One or two luxurious carriages entered Linjia Village with great fanfare, and every time he saw a villager driving a car, the groom would ask him where the Lin Dongjia of the "Lin's Braised Meat Shop" was.

The villagers all knew about the braised butcher shop opened by Jiang Yan's family in the town, and they all pointed out the direction when they looked at the luxurious carriage held by two horses.

The people in the village have seen many horse-drawn carriages, the county order, Aunt Jiang's family, and even Aunt Jiang's patron's family, although the carriages are very luxurious, but there is only one horse pulling the carriage.

Jiang Yan has been busy in the house, the chickens and ducks at home are already full-fledged, the chickens are tall and the ducks are big, she hasn't eaten duck meat for a long time, just stewed duck with perilla, slaughter another chicken, make a Cantonese white-cut chicken, with soul dipping sauce, whoever eats it will say good!

She stood outside the chicken shed, looking at the group of chickens and ducks with their wings stretched and burying their heads in the food bowl, picking the two largest and fattest.

These chickens and ducks were well taken care of by Xiaodouzi, they were fat and strong, with smooth and bright hair, and they were round, and she was about to catch them, but she was called a few times by the villagers outside the yard.

She looked up, and several familiar neighbors greeted her, but they were all far away, and there seemed to be some big man at the main gate of the courtyard, so they didn't dare to approach.

Jiang Yan had to give up catching chickens and walked towards the door, and saw an extremely gorgeous carriage parked at the door, and two tall and strong horses pouted their hooves and shouted.

Jiang Yan frowned and stepped forward, the two men under the carriage were gorgeously dressed, and the young one was even more extraordinary, full of extravagance in his gestures, looking at it from a distance, Jiang Yan could also feel the arrogance of the other party who despised the world.

It was two men she didn't know.

"Is this Lin's braised pork, Lin Dong's home?"

It was an older man who spoke, dressed in a blue and red fine silk robe, with an expensive jade hanging from his waist, stepping on a pair of brocade auspicious cloud shoes, not tall, slightly hunched at the waist, and speaking with a shallow smile.

Jiang Yan nodded, her voice was a little vigilant: "It's Lin Dong's home, I am Lin Dong's mother, the two of you can call me Aunt Jiang, I don't know what happened to the two of you?" ”

Lin Dong is busy in the store every day, and he has a lot of contact, although the Lin family's braised meat shop is not big, but the braised meat business is getting better and better day by day, it is normal for him to know a few rich and noble people, but I don't know how these people still found Linjia Village.

"It turned out to be Aunt Jiang, and I hope to forgive me when I visited suddenly, but it is huge below, I wonder if Aunt Jiang has heard of Huafang Building in Linfang County? Under is the shopkeeper of Huafang Building, which is our young owner. ”

Fang Ju introduced himself with a little arrogance, although he asked Jiang Yan if he knew Huafanglou, but he was sure that Jiang Yan knew, he was confident, Fanghualou's reputation was not small, as long as it was a person from Linfang County, there was nothing he didn't know.

Jiang Yan had a smile on her face, and the eight big white teeth marked were revealed, and she said with a smile: "Naturally, I know, but all the people of Linfang County, who can not know the name of Huafang Building, but I don't know, what is the matter with the shopkeeper Fang and this young owner looking for Lin Dong?" He'll still be looking at the shops in town. ”
