The life of farming in ancient times with a system

Lin Shen entered the house carrying several wooden boxes.

Jiang Daizhen said: "Xiao Tao, close the door quickly, the cold wind is about to blow in."

Lin Shen put the wooden box on the table, just as Xiao Tao closed the door.

Jiang Daizhen came over and asked curiously: "What is this?"

Lin Shen smiled mysteriously and lifted one of the wooden covers.Below is a thin bamboo stick, wrapped in a layer of pink stuff.

He pressed the wooden box with one hand, and pulled out the thin bamboo sticks with the other.Without much effort, the thin bamboo stick was pulled out. It was a cuboid with red tomato juice frozen inside.

"This is my homemade popsicle. This box is tomato-flavored, and the other box is watermelon-flavored." Lin Shen handed the popsicle to Jiang Daizhen, and pulled out the root to Xiaotao.

Jiang Daizhen took a sip from a corner and said in surprise, "It's so sweet."

"I made it with cold boiled water and tomato juice, but unfortunately there is no sugar. Put some sugar in, and the popsicles will be sweeter," Lin Shen said.

"It's already very good." Jiang Daizhen said.

"By the way, I squeezed some milk." Lin Shen took out the milk cube.Milk coagulates into lumps at low temperatures.

Seeing this, Jiang Daizhen showed a disgusted expression.Because there is no white sugar, the boiled milk will also have a smell of mutton.Whenever Lin Shen gave it to him, his face was full of rejection, even though Lin Shen said that drinking more milk would make his skin better.

Seeing his expression, Lin Shen wanted to laugh: "I will add honey in the future."

Jiang Daizhen concentrated on eating popsicles.

"It will be fine next year, and there will be white sugar to eat." Lin Shen said.

Jiang Daizhen became interested: "You do it yourself?"

"Yes." Lin Shen said.

There is no white sugar in this era.People want to eat something sweet, so they can only add honey to their food, and honey is not affordable for ordinary people.That's why Lin Shen planted beets. He planned to boil sugar from beets, which would benefit thousands of people.

In the evening, Jiang Daizhen didn't eat, but ate a lot of watermelon.

Lin Shen also has a seed greenhouse, but his greenhouse is used for his family to eat.Tomatoes and watermelons are grown in it, and there are all kinds of vegetables.Jiang Daizhen got into the habit of going to the shed every day, picking ripe tomatoes when he saw them, and eating juicy cucumbers.

Others are eating pickles and steamed buns. They have fresh vegetables to eat every day, and there are more types than in summer.

Jiang Ruonian went to the mountain with great pains, saw Jiang Daizhen eating a melon with great relish, his foot slipped and almost fell in front of Jiang Daizhen.

The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and if people outside wanted to come in, they couldn't get in by horse-drawn carriage, they had to walk on two legs.Jiang Ruonian always takes a car when he goes out, when has he ever suffered such a crime.To put it an exaggeration, he almost died on the way.

"You have a good life." Jiang Ruonian said with red eyes.

"Brother!" Jiang Daizhen stood up in surprise, and greeted him, "Why are you here?"

"I'm exhausted, let me take a rest." Jiang Daizhen sat down on the kang, and it took him a long time to exhale: "I'm alive."

"Tired?" Jiang Daizhen leaned over and asked.

"I'm exhausted, the carriage can't get in, so I just walk on two legs. After walking for an hour, my legs are frozen. You stay indoors every day, and you don't know how cold it is outside." Jiang Ruonian complained road.

He saw the cucumber on the table, glanced at Xiaotao and said, "What's on the table?"

"This is a melon." Xiaotao replied.

"Cough, show me one." Jiang Ruonian could smell the scent of melon from a long distance away, it was indescribably fresh.

Jiang Daizhen: "I'll come."

Jiang Daizhen passed Xiaotao and took one himself.

The outside of the cantaloupe has been washed, Jiang Ruonian put it in front of his nose and smelled it, his eyes lit up and said: "I smelled it right, the fragrance is coming from here."

"That's why it's called muskmelon." Jiang Daizhen said with a smile.

Jiang Ruonian opened his mouth to bite, but was stopped by Jiang Daizhen.

Jiang Daizhen said: "Cantaloupe is not eaten like this."

He gave Xiaotao a look, and Xiaotao brought up a bamboo knife and cut the melon in half.That scent became even more alluring, and Jiang Ruonian's saliva almost flowed out.

Jiang Ruonian hurriedly said, "Can I eat now?"

"Get rid of the seeds before eating." Jiang Daizhen picked up half a melon and shook it vigorously a few times to get rid of the pale white seeds.

"I'll just eat a melon, you have so many things to do." Jiang Ruonian glanced at him reproachfully, put it to his mouth, took a big bite, and shouted, "It's delicious."

"You should try watermelon, this year we planted seedless watermelon." Jiang Daizhen said.

"If you don't have seeds, what kind of plant do you rely on?" Jiang Ruonian was dubious.

"Xiao Tao, bring that half of watermelon here, let my brother learn more." Jiang Daizhen said.

Xiaotao ran outside and brought in the remaining half of the watermelon.

Jiang Ruonian cut off a small piece with a bamboo knife, there were no black watermelon seeds, and it tasted sweeter.

"It's different from what I sell. There are watermelon seeds sold outside now." Jiang Ruonian said wonderingly.

"My uncle planted it himself, and you can't even buy it outside." Xiaotao interjected.

Jiang Ruonian exclaimed: "He always surprises me, I think this is the best, he impresses me again and again."

"Uncle also made popsicles." Xiaotao said.

"Bring it here and let me have a look." Jiang Ruonian said immediately.

"Brother, you can't eat anymore." Jiang Daizhen said helplessly.

"I don't want to eat, I'll just look at it." Jiang Ruonian said.

Xiaotao took out the familiar wooden box and pulled out a popsicle made from watermelon juice.This time with honey water added, it tastes better than before.

Jiang Ruonian said he wouldn't eat it, but his eyes were glued to it.

"Brother, digest the contents of your stomach first, and then eat other things." Jiang Daizhen persuaded again.

Jiang Ruonian nodded perfunctorily.

When Jiang Daizhen turned around, he snatched the popsicle from Xiaotao's hand.

"Madam said, you can't eat any more." Xiaotao refused to give it to him.

He narrowed his eyes and said ferociously: "I only taste the taste, I will never eat too much."

Xiaotao said with a troubled face, "I can only eat a little bit."

"Yeah." Before Xiao Tao took the initiative to hand it over, Jiang Ruonian snatched the popsicle into his hands, stuck out his tongue and licked it, and said in surprise, "It's so sweet."

"Madam likes this taste, uncle made it specially for Madam. I followed suit and ate a lot." Xiaotao said.

"This kind of thing is not common, and it should fetch a good price." Jiang Ruonian was full of money, and the beads in his abacus were crackling.

Jiang Daizhen looked at him speechlessly: "Didn't you say you won't eat it?"

"I said I wouldn't eat it, but Xiaotao insisted on giving it to me, and he forced it to me." Jiang Ruonian pulled Xiaotao out to block it.

Xiao Tao looked at him in disbelief, her face full of grievances: "I didn't."

"Anyway, I ate everything, and I didn't feel any discomfort." Jiang Ruonian said.

Hearing that Jiang Ruonian was back, Lin Shen returned home early.He picked a bamboo basket of gourds in the greenhouse and asked the kitchen to make dumplings stuffed with gourds.The kitchen immediately became busy, and there were many people in the family eating, so they had to prepare early.

"I brought both the ledger and the money. You call the principals of the three families over, and we will start dividing the money on the spot." Jiang Ruonian said domineeringly.

Xiaotao went out to call for someone.

Hearing that the money was going to be divided, the three families came soon.

He Caibo said: "I'm going to eat at your house today. Don't hide anything delicious. Let me eat it quickly. Let me tell you, for this meal, I have been empty since last night. I am now Hungry enough to eat a sheep."

Everyone laughed.

Jiang Ruonian raised his chin, looked at Jiang Daizhen and said, "Ask my brother, he is the master of this family."

"Half master." Jiang Daizhen said quickly.

"It's the master, and even I belong to him." Lin Shen smoothed things over.

Inadvertently, they sprinkled a wave of dog food.

"This is the account book, it is clearly written on it. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. If there is no problem, you can share the money." Jiang Ruonian said.

Xu Bai asked a question: "The amount we give you is different from the amount you sell."

"Waste, some leaves are lost on the road and become lighter, and some are discarded by customers. When they see a yellow leaf, they don't want it, and we can't force them to buy it back. You also know that the price of vegetables is not high. It's not low, it's normal for people to pick and choose, of course, they are picking, and we are also picking. Some customers who want to eat fresh dishes but don't want to pay for them will not call them next time." Jiang Ruonian explained .

Several families accepted the statement.

The accounts are very clear, and every account is clearly written.

According to the previously agreed ratio, each family received a considerable amount of income.Excluding the money for hiring workers, they earn a lot of money.

The dumplings were ready, and they ate very deliciously around the table.

In the afternoon, the wages were paid, and the workers happily went to collect the money.

"how much you?"

"You have more than me."

"That is, I work much more tired than you."

Lin Bing took the money, went to the butcher's house in the village to buy a piece of meat, and went home happily.

Zhang Xiaoke was also at his house, sitting face to face with Zhou Zichu, busy with the needlework at hand and talking in a low voice, while the children stayed and played, neither noisy nor disturbing.

Lin Bing opened the door curtain, and when he saw Zhang Xiaoke, he froze for a moment.One leg was already inside, and the other was outside.

Zhou Zichu stood up first and said, "I'm back."

Lin Bing had already told him that wages would be paid today.Zhang Xiaoke came to him because of this.Zhang Xiaoke not only cared about Lin He's wages, but also Lin Bing's wages.To put it more selfishly, Zhang Xiaoke just wanted to see other people living worse than him.If Lin Bing was paid more than Lin He, he would feel subtly uncomfortable.

"Hmm. This is the meat I bought." Lin Bing lowered the curtain, and the room immediately became warmer.

Zhou Zichu said happily, "Wages paid?"

"It's all delivered." Lin Bing handed two packages to Zhou Zichu.

Zhang Xiaoke hurried over and pretended to glance casually.

The meat was tied up with a rope, and another bag was wrapped in lotus leaves.

Zhou Zichu wanted to open it, but was stopped by Lin Bing.

"Put the things in the kitchen and change me to clean shoes. When I came back, I accidentally stepped in a puddle, and my two shoes were soaked."

Neither of them talked about wages.

Zhang Xiaoke didn't want to ask too many questions, and hurriedly took the child home.

After he left, Lin Bing said: "The package is dumplings. The third child gave it to me. Put it on the pot and heat it up and eat it. The third child only gave it to me, not the second child. Let his wife see it." I don’t know what’s going to happen behind the scenes, one more thing is worse than one less.”

Zhou Zichu said honestly, "I see."

"There is still wages." Lin Yue took out his heavy wallet.

Zhou Zichu's eyes lit up: "So much?"

"Yeah." Lin Bing grinned.

"Why are these?" Zhang Xiaoke looked at the copper plates on the table and said.

"Ah, I haven't worked for a few days, so of course I have less money." Lin He's eyes rolled around, and he knew that he was lying.

Zhang Xiaoke put away the copper plate and said coldly, "I'll ask someone else."

After speaking, Zhang Xiaoke was about to go out.

Lin He grabbed his clothes and shouted, "Who are you going to ask? They won't tell you."

"If they don't say anything, I'll go to the third child. The third child always knows how much money you earn." Zhang Xiaoke said.

"All right, I'm convinced. I just want to buy some wine, and you don't leave me a single coin." Lin He complained, reaching under his clothes, and took out more coins.

While counting the money, Zhang Xiaoke scolded him: "Drink, drink, drink, you know how to drink. Big brother knows to buy meat first after taking the money, so you don't know what to buy back?"

"Do I dare? If you lose one copper plate, you will kill me." Lin He complained.

Zhang Xiaoke said, "It's good that you know."

He counted out a few copper coins and said to Lin He, "Go, cut a piece of meat and come back to make steamed stuffed buns."

With a dark face, Lin He grabbed the money and left.

Luo Feng pushed open the door and said happily: "Ah, the wages are paid."

Ah Mo came up to him with a smile on her face, rubbed her hands together and asked, "How much did you pay?"

Luo Feng handed over a heavy purse and a package of things.

"This is—" Ah Mo was stunned.

Luo Feng smiled and said, "Xiaotao gave the dumplings. He made them with the cook all afternoon. He Caibo and the others took them all, and he gave them to me."

"Xiaotao is fine." Ahma smiled and rolled her eyes, then touched the heavy purse and said, "The money is really generous, and it's not messy at all."

"The money has been paid. The pigs that were slaughtered today, I think the meat is quite fresh and the price is not expensive, so I asked for a piece." Luo Feng said.

"It's cold now, and it won't go bad if it's frozen outside. This piece of meat is enough to eat for a long time." Ah Mo said.

Ever since Luo Feng entered the greenhouse to work, Ah Mo didn't care about money anymore.Usually when burning firewood, I am willing to stuff a few more logs into it.The house is warm and warm, and wearing thin clothes is not afraid of the cold.

Because Lin Shen came here, the lives of people around him are changing for the better.

There were too many delicacies, which made people dazzled, and finally caught Jiang Ruonian's eyes.

Jiang Ruonian decided to stay for a few more days, eat everything he wanted before leaving.

"He really knows how to cook, and everything he cooks is delicious. If you marry him, you're married to the right person, and he doesn't think you're useless." Jiang Ruonian kept eating with his mouth full.

Jiang Dai really suspected that his stomach was a bottomless pit, and he didn't even have any uncomfortable reaction after eating so much.

"Why am I useless?" Jiang Daizhen asked dissatisfied.

"Aside from eating, what else do you do?" Jiang Ruonian said.

Jiang Daizhen had an expression of "you're so embarrassed to say me".

"What did you ask me to do in such a cold day?" Jiang Daizhen said in disbelief.

Jiang Ruonian shook his head: "You only eat and sleep, Ah Mo is already worried that Lin San will despise you."

"Ama thinks too much." Jiang Daizhen said.

"The main reason is that Lin San is too good. He is afraid that the little goblins outside won't be able to bear the loneliness, and you stay at home every day, and you don't leave the door without leaving the door. You are the last to know that your husband was hooked away. .” Jiang Ruonian said.

Jiang Daizhen paused, squinted his eyes at Jiang Ruonian and said, "There is something in your words."

Jiang Ruonian gave him a squinted look: "You are not too stupid. Zhou Fengnian, who was married to you one after another, had only been married to the prefect's mansion for a few months, and the people in the prefect's mansion began to worry about his stomach. When he grows up, there will be second, third, and fourth rooms constantly carried into his courtyard. Don’t think he is the wife, none of those goblins take him seriously. He is quite ruthless, but he can’t hold back those people It's not easy to mess with, they teamed up to deal with him..."

"Did he win or someone else won?" Jiang Daizhen asked.

"People don't win all the time. He wins and loses. I don't know why. The more he wants to have it, the more he can't live up to his stomach. You are much luckier than him. The Lin family didn't rush you, and Lin San didn't." Opinion?" Jiang Ruonian said.

Speaking of this, Jiang Dai really understood his intentions.

"He said I'm too young, wait a few years to ask for it."

Jiang Ruonian said shyly.

Jiang Ruonian looked at him in surprise: "What did he say?"

"Yeah." Jiang Daizhen nodded.

Jiang Ruonian clicked his tongue twice and said, "Unexpectedly, there are still people who are not in a hurry to have children."

"Aren't you?" Jiang Daizhen said.

"I don't like him, but he wants me to give birth. There are a lot of people out there for him, but unfortunately that person won't be me. After kicking him, I figured it out, and I'm still alone. I think Eat whatever you want, lie down when you want, how exciting." Jiang Ruonian said.

"Keep your voice down so Xiaotao outside can hear him, he's still a child." Jiang Daizhen patted him.

Jiang Ruonian said speechlessly, "Isn't this child too old?"

Jiang Daizhen couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Xiaotao was not outside at all, he stood under the wall against the cold wind and talked to people.

"Are you sick? You must let me out in such a cold day." Xiao Tao whispered.

Yu Huai said, "I've paid my wages."

"Just post it." Xiao Tao said with her hands in her hands.

"I asked someone to buy you a gadget." Yu Huai said.

"Don't come, I don't want it." Xiaotao said.

"It's a clay figurine, it looks very much like you." Yu Huai said, throwing things over through the wall.

The little clay figurines are lying in the snow, and they are very cute.

Xiaotao expressed disgust, but picked up the little clay figurine honestly. He pointed at the tip of the little clay figurine's nose and said, "Nonsense, it doesn't look like me at all."

"I found out that the boss behind it is Jiang Ruonian. Jiang Ruonian made a fortune, and he made a lot of money because of this." Zhou Xiang said while sitting on the carpet, leaning his back against the cushion behind.

He just came out, and his body was a little wet.Near at hand was a fine copper stove with glowing coals.

A plate of watermelon was placed on the table, exuding a tempting fragrance.

Zhou Fengnian sat crookedly on the rug, and a snow-white cat leaned there docilely.Scratching the cat's chin with thin white fingers, he asked lazily, "Do you know where he got his things from?"

"I bribed a servant of the Jiang family, and the servant said that the second uncle did it. Last winter, the Jiang family ate fresh vegetables." Zhou Xiang did not go in vain this time, and asked clearly.

"Second son-in-law?" Zhou Fengnian opened his eyes suddenly. He almost forgot that there was Lin Shen in the world. He squeezed the cat tightly in his arms, and the cat thrashed a few times in pain, before he slowed down. Slowly let go of his hand, and stroked the cat comfortingly, the cat became docile again, lying obediently on his lap.

"Lin Shen?" He looked at Zhou Xiang.

"It's him. I remembered one thing. In summer, he was selling watermelons. I saw him at the fair. I wanted to make things difficult for him. I blamed him for the big and sweet watermelons. I couldn't bear it." I bought a lot. I sent you a few at that time, and you ate them too," Zhou Xiang said.

Zhou Fengnian frowned with a headache: "If it were Lin Shen, it would be difficult."

If it was someone else, who spent a little more money than Jiang Ruonian, he might have brought this person over.But this person happened to be Lin Shen, and there was a lot of grievances between Lin Shen and him, which could not be resolved with money.

Zhou Xiang said, "Do you want to do this business?"

"Who doesn't want to do it? Put a lot of money in their pockets and earn nothing. You know why Jiang Qingsong didn't urge Jiang Ruonian to marry, because he can earn money and he will. He is a cash cow for the Jiang family Jiang Qingsong doesn't want him to be planted in someone else's yard." Zhou Fengnian said.

Zhou Xiang said: "No matter how much money he makes, he is still a big brother, can he still depend on Jiang's family for the rest of his life?"

"You can be more free with money, you don't understand." Zhou Fengnian gave him a contemptuous look.

"Then their brothers combined are not as good as you in marriage, and the person you marry is the prince of the prefect." Zhou Xiang said proudly.

"Just looking at the scenery..." Zhou Fengnian swallowed back the bitterness welling up in his mouth.

Before he got married, he thought so too.Only after he got married did he know what it was like to be involuntary.If he went back to the past, he still had a chance to choose, and he would definitely not choose this path.He joked that Jiang Daizhen married a villager, but now it seems that Jiang Daizhen is the happiest person.

Lin Shen, Lin San. . .It was supposed to be his fiancé.

It's fine if you don't quit.

"This is Naipizi." Lin Shen put a plate of dry things in front of Jiang Daizhen.

Jiang Daizhen saw that there was a layer of small holes on the top of this thing, and looked at him suspiciously: "Is it delicious?"

"You will know after a taste." Lin Shen said.

Before Jiang Daizhen could move, Jiang Ruonian stretched out his hand first: "It must be a good thing, but if it's not a good thing, he won't give it to you."

Lin Shen said with a smile: "Eat it to enhance immunity, and eating it often is good for the skin."

Jiang Daizhen and Jiang Ruonian couldn't understand how to enhance immunity, but they understood it when it was good for the skin.

...
