The old lady of the Lu family knew about the commendation order, so she stayed at home and sulked.
"The emperor is really good. This Lu Lin has made great achievements, and he just praised him casually, and he didn't even talk about sending some money." The old lady said bitterly.
Lu An sighed, and said: "Mother, it's not easy to talk nonsense. If someone overhears it, you will be killed." Lu An still has a great respect for the emperor, and criticizing the emperor will be serious if it spreads.
The old lady said with some embarrassment: "I just talk at home, and I don't go out to shout, but this emperor is too stingy." Mom, you don't know, there is this money. I heard that there are several Qianliang, however, was not sent to us, but to Sha County. "Thousands of taels. In comparison, his monthly money of two taels of silver is nothing at all, not to mention that he is now planing food in the field.
The old lady couldn't help but blushed, "It's too fair, that little bastard already has so much silver, and the emperor even gave him the silver."
The old lady thought to herself: It would be great if the money was sent to her, she would not believe it, and Lu Lin could force her to hand it over if the money went into her pocket.
For Mrs. Lu, nothing is more painful than having money but not being able to see or touch it. The fact that Lu Lin received the emperor's bounty is enough for the old lady to sleep well for a few days.
Seeing the old lady's reaction, Lu An felt a little helpless.
Lu An's heart is full of regrets. He never thought that Lu Lin would be like this. If he knew it, he should hug Lu Lin's thigh. If so, he would be the elder of the county magistrate. This identity is enough for him to show off his might up.
Cheng Yu, a scholar, seems to have no use other than exempting some land taxes.
Compared with the money that Lu Chengyu spent on studying, the tax money waived seems to be nothing. Lu Lin is really prosperous!
The old lady said with a dark face, "I heard that the butcher is going to join Lu Lin."
Lu An frowned. When Lu Lin left, Zhang Rui didn't go with him because the child at home had just been born. I heard that Lu Lin left a sum of money for Zhang Rui. Recently, he I heard that Zhang Rui planned to go to Sha County with the caravan and join Lu Lin.
In fact, Lu An also had the intention of defecting to Lu Lin, but he somehow understood that even if he approached, Lu Lin would not give him a good face.
It's a long journey from here to Sha County, and if they can't get it right, it will be a waste of effort.
The old lady said angrily: "This bastard knows how to make money, and Lu Lin, a brat, knows how to take advantage of outsiders."
The old lady patted her chest. Every time she heard about Lu Lin, the old lady felt panicked. The old lady always thought that Lu Lin was too much, but in fact, these days, besides thinking that Lu Lin was too much, the old lady also regretted it a little more. Suddenly, the old lady felt that she shouldn't be raising a grandson.
Back then, if Lu Lin had been allowed to study, perhaps it would not be the situation it is today.
Chen Jing was busy working in the field. At the beginning, when he went to the field, Chen Jing was reluctant, but after being pushed and pushed around in the past few years, he gradually approached a farmer.
Years of habits cannot be easily changed, and Chen Jing is still a little cautious.
After going to the field all day and lying in bed at night, I suffered from back pain all night.
Chen Jing heard a few people talking about Lu Lin, but he didn't go over to listen.
When the villagers talk about Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi, they mostly want to talk about how promising they are and how good their lives are. After so many years, Chen Jing has become a little numb. Although he is numb, when he hears it, he still feels not feeling good.
When Chen Jing returned home, he heard the old lady cursing.
"Mom, what's going on with grandma?" Chen Jing asked.
After Chen Jing stopped studying, the old lady's attitude towards Chen Jing became worse and worse. After it was revealed that Chen Xiaomi was the boss of Huaxia Commercial Bank, the old lady became even more disappointed with Chen Jing. Now, the old lady and the old man are even more disappointed Like Chen He and Chen Qu, Chen Jing feels that he has less and less status at home.
Mrs. Zhang said sullenly: "Your grandma went to your sister-in-law's house to ask for money, but she didn't come."
Chen Jing sighed and said, "The butcher is not easy to mess with!"
Mrs. Zhang said sullenly: "That cousin of yours has earned a lot of money with Chen Xiaomi. Our Chen family should have a share of it."
Zhang family.
"How could this be?" Zhang Cheng murmured.
Zhang Cheng is getting old, and has retired to the second line in the past two years, and now he has left Li Zheng to his son.
Zhang Jin sighed, and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect Lu Lin to be able to do this. Even the Holy One treats him differently."
Zhang Cheng had always expected that Lu Chengyu would bring glory to the clan, but unexpectedly, Lu Lin, who had been at odds with Lu Chengyu, did it.
When the awards from above were handed down, the Lu family became very embarrassed.
Lu Lin, who was favored by the sage, was taken out by the Lu family, and has nothing to do with the Lu family.
Now that Lu Lin is gone, Lu Chengyu will inevitably be compared with Lu Lin. With such a comparison, all the villagers feel that the old Lu family has eyes but no pearls. He regards fish eyes as pearls, and pearls as fish eyes.
There are also many people in the village who feel that Zhang Cheng has no vision and did not win over Lu Lin for the village. However, Lu Lin has gone to Sha County now, and some villagers want to join Lu Lin, but they do not have the courage. It is a long way to go to Sha County , if you meet someone who robs you on the road, you will be in big trouble.
"No matter what, it's good for our village that Lu Lin was rewarded by the Holy Spirit," Zhang Jin said.
People in other villages would not know about the twists and turns in their village, and when they talked about it, they would only say that Lu Lin was rewarded by the superiors.
Lu Lin, who was far away in Sha County, spread the news of the emperor's commendation to the village, which made him famous in the village for a while, and even became the glory of the village. He didn't know anything about it.
After the beginning of spring, Lu Lin planned to build a winery.
The business of this tofu shop is good. People come and go every day. The blacksmiths and carpenters who work here in Lu Lin often bring goods to the villagers. However, the business of this tofu shop is too thin, no matter how much they sell, Can't make much money either.
Chen Xiaocai looked at Lu Lin and said, "Brother Lin, you want to build a winery!"
Lu Lin nodded and said, "That's right, selling tofu is a business, and the profit is too low. If it's wine making, it's better to make wine."
Chen Xiaocai nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes!"
Chen Xiaolai found two teenagers in the village to work as helpers in the shop. He basically didn't care much about the tofu shop.
It is not easy to buy a store in Lin Town, but it is much easier in Shacheng. There is a lot of open space. It is also very simple and cheap to build a brewery.
In winter, many people borrowed Lu Lin's mules and agricultural tools. Now that Lu Lin was going to build a winery, he called these people together to work.
A soldier in the barracks heard that Lu Lin was going to build a wine shop, so he also came to help on Xiu's holiday.
Lu Lin couldn't help being surprised when he saw many officers and soldiers coming to help, and they didn't want money.
Lu Lin didn't expect that his status among the soldiers of the patrol battalion was already so high. The impression is not very good.
Lu Lin suddenly felt that he might be the kind of good officer who shines and shines. The soldier found his high character and integrity, so he came to join him. Of course, all this was just his delusion.
"Brother Lin, the people from the patrol battalion don't want money, but they want delicious food. They want to eat hot pot, egg pancakes, spring rolls, brown sugar steamed cake..." Chen Xiaocai said.
Lu Lin sighed and said, "I came here for the food!"
Right now, there is a shortage of goods, and the prices of many things are rising. If you want to eat these things, you will have to spend a lot of money.
Chen Xiaocai nodded, and said with a strange expression: "A lot of people outside now say that they work for our county government office, the food is good, and the cooks in the county government office are very skilled."
Lu Lin: "..."
Lu Lin shook his head, thinking that it might be that Ji Yunan had eaten a lot of food at his place, and when he returned to the barracks, he told the people in the barracks that the soldiers in the barracks might be interested after hearing this.
Lu Lin shook his head, and said, "Try to prepare the meals better."
Chen Xiaocai nodded, and said: "I know, but at this moment, the oil is also very nervous!" Lu Lin sighed, and said, "Well, if I knew it earlier, he should put in a little more oil. A bottle of oil in the previous life was not much." Oil. "
"Several officers and soldiers asked me if the brewery we built was real." Chen Xiaolai said.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "This is of course true."
Chen Xiaocai smiled, and said, "They told me to buy them a drink after the wine is brewed."
Lu Lin nodded and said, "This can also be considered."
After that, if more wine is brewed, a batch can be sold to people in the military camp at a low price, which can deepen the communication between the two parties. Wine is a good thing. When drinking, it is easiest to exchange feelings.
The brewery was repaired very quickly, and the migrant workers who came here changed batches after batches.
Originally, Chen Xiaocai had a lot of debts recorded in his account book, but the debtors have already paid off one after another.
dinner's ready.
At noon, Chen Xiaomi yelled softly, and all the migrant workers stopped at the same time and walked towards the canteen of the winery.
Because there were a lot of people eating, Chen Xiaomi simply set up a big round table.
Brother Xiaomi, what are you eating today?" Lei Zheng approached Chen Xiaomi and asked obsequiously.
Chen Xiaomi said lightly: "There is a roasted chicken with potatoes." In comparison, chicken is still very expensive, so Lu Lin put a lot of potatoes and bamboo shoots, which should taste good.
Lei Zheng nodded, "Oh".
Chen Xiaomi took a look at Lei Zheng and said, "You came yesterday, did you neglect your duties?"
Lei Zheng smiled and said, "How come? I'm in time for Xiu's holiday."
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lei Zheng and thought to himself: This guy seems to have said the same thing a few days ago, Lei Zheng didn't come here to work just to eat.
As soon as a few workers arrived at the dining room, they sat down and started eating. Everyone was probably afraid of losing money if they didn't eat enough.
The few dishes on the table were quickly swept away.
With more people and more strength, the winery was built quickly.
After the winery was built, Lu Lin wanted to buy wine jars. As a result, many empty wine jars were sent to the camp.
There is also a wine cellar in this patrol battalion. There are so many soldiers, and occasionally they have to get some wine to drink. One or two were taken back to make pickle jars, but there were quite a few left.
Knowing that Lu Lin was going to make wine, the camp sent all these useless empty wine jars to Lu Lin, which saved Lu Lin a lot of money.
Wine jars also require money, although Lu Lin is not short of money, but saving a fortune is a fortune.
