The relationship between Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi made a breakthrough. The next day, when Lu Lin woke up and wanted to deepen their relationship, he found that Chen Xiaomi had disappeared.
Lu Lin scratched his head, and thought to himself: Chen Xiaomi must have gone hunting, right? Going out to hunt on the first day of consummating the house is simply an insult to his ability.
Lu Lin searched and found Chen Xiaomi chopping firewood in the backyard.
Chen Xiaomi's actions were not affected at all. The action of chopping firewood was as neat as ever, and a lot of chopped wood chips had accumulated beside him. Judging by the situation, he had been busy for quite a while.
Seeing this, Lu Lin didn't bother him, and went to cook in a sensible manner. Chen Xiaomi's appetite is directly proportional to his strength. Lu Lin has always suspected that Chen Xiaomi is so capable, but his life is not very rich. Not because of too much appetite.
The good news is that Chen Xiaomi is also very active every day. Although he eats a lot, he does not gain weight.
There was a knock on the door outside the yard, Lu Lin went out and found that it was Liu Guiyong and a group of people.
"Old Liu, why are you here?"
Liu Guiyong smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's bring something to the two of you."
Liu Guiyong put down the two big baskets of sweet potatoes, rubbed his hands together restrainedly, and said, "It's not something valuable."
"Ms. Liu is too polite. I don't have any land at home. I was going to the town to buy some sweet potatoes. I didn't expect you to send them here." Lu Lin smiled and said.
Liu Guiyong said with some embarrassment: "There are too many of these things this year, and the price is so cheap that they can't be sold at a high price. However, I thought the two of you have no land, so I sent it to you to try. Although the sweet potatoes are a little smaller , but, it's very sweet, just don't dislike it, little brother Lu."
Lu Lin smiled and said: "Uncle Liu, you are too polite. I am afraid that such a good thing is not enough to eat, so how dare you dislike it?"
Liu Guiyong smiled and said, "It's just a little thing, as long as Brother Lu likes it."
Liu Wen behind Liu Guiyong was a little happy to see Lu Lin, "Brother Lu, I brought you fish and meat."
Although Chen Xiaomi can hunt, there should be no shortage of meat in the family, but no one would think too much meat.
"Why did we bring so many things? It's embarrassing for us."
Liu Guiyong and others quickly said: "It should, it should."
Liu Guiyong and his group have recently made a lot of money by building kangs. They think that they can make so much money because of the blessings of Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi.
Liu Guiyong thought about it, and felt that he could not be ungrateful, so he sent some sweet potatoes to Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin. In addition to sweet potatoes, they also brought some radishes, cabbage, ten catties of meat, two fish... a few people brought them over There are a lot of things, which is already very polite.
The fact that Liu Guiyong and others came to Chen Xiaomi's house to deliver things spread in the village. After the news spread, the villagers had different reactions.
"Have you heard that the people of Dawan Village actually gave something to this evil star, Chen Xiaomi, and even a lot of it. It's both fish and meat."
"They learned how to build kangs from Chen Xiaomi. I heard that these people made a lot of money in the city. Those rich people in the city paid high prices in order to sleep on the kang earlier. Zhang Dazhu and others, I've made a lot of money recently."
"Zhang Dazhu and the others don't seem to have sent anything to Chen Xiaomi!"
"What are you giving away! Everyone is from the same village, Chen Xiaomi has no conscience, such a good thing only knows how cheap it is for outsiders."
"That can't be said that way. Things belong to Chen Xiaomi. He can teach them to whomever he wants. Speaking of which, it would have been nice if he had repaired Chen Xiaomi's house in the first place."
"It's also Lizheng's fault. Why did he refuse such a good job without everyone's consent? If the villagers repaired Chen Xiaomi's house first, how could we get these people from other villages?"
"The same goes for Dazhu and others. They only know how to earn money in the city, but they don't know how to teach the people in the village."
"Dazhu said, teach in a few days, it's been almost a month."
"Dazhu and the others, I'm afraid they have earned several taels. Why didn't Chen Xiaomi choose me to repair his house?"
"Your son always bullies Chen Xiaocai and Chen Mai, and wants Chen Xiaomi to ask you to work. Isn't this a dream?"
…
The life of Chen Xiaomi's family became more and more prosperous. When the villagers mentioned Chen Xiaomi, many of them were sour, but the reaction of the villagers did not affect Chen Xiaomi.
…
Chen family.
"Dawan Village has a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes this year!" Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "Yes! There seem to be many people selling this item in the town, but the purchase price doesn't seem too high! This item doesn't seem to be easy to keep."
Sweet potatoes are afraid of the cold. If they are frozen, they will become hard. They need to be stored in the cellar in winter, but they are still easy to spoil.
"Is that so? How about we go buy some sweet potatoes to make wine?" Lu Lin asked.
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin curiously, and asked, "Can you make wine?" He thought that Lu Lin would only buy wine from the small shop, and it would be gone when sold out.
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin in surprise, Lu Lin smiled and said, "Yes!"
Lu Lin came from the countryside. When he was young, he also brewed sweet potato wine with his father and mother. However, after the living conditions improved, beer and other wines were very cheap. That's it.
Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin drove the mule cart to the Fortune Restaurant. This time they sold thirty jugs of wine in one go for twenty-four taels of silver.
After getting twenty-four taels of silver, the two went to Dawan Village and bought a lot of sweet potatoes.
The villagers of Dawan Village were worried about the sale of sweet potatoes, and when they saw someone coming to collect them, they sold them all to Lu Lin.
Sweet potatoes cost five cents and two catties, and Lu Lin bought two thousand catties for five taels.
Lu Lin bought sweet potatoes, and most of them were piled up in the canteen, and the other part was put in the newly dug cellar for show.
Lu Lin summoned the three brothers of the Chen family to make sweet potato wine together.
Although he made a lot of money by selling the wine in the canteen, Chen Xiaomi always felt a little uncertain. This time, he made wine directly, which made Chen Xiaomi feel at ease. The brewing of sweet potato wine is cumbersome and takes a long time to complete, so the wine cannot be drunk immediately. However, several people ate sweet potato porridge and roasted sweet potatoes to their fullest.
