Be a little landlord

Chapter 66

  With last year's experience, this year Lin Lixuan can do farm work with ease, transplanting seedlings, planting fruit trees, grafting melon seedlings and so on with ease. The land on the barren hills has been re-trimmed and a large area is waiting for people to sow seeds. This year, Lin Lixuan plans to plant a few acres of watermelons, and then replant some fruit trees.

Up to now, Lin Lixuan has accumulated more than four hundred taels of silver. He plans to build a new house. When he has free time, he contacts craftsmen in the county town. He is powerful and knows a lot of people, and they introduced him to several old craftsmen.

It took more than half a month to draw the blueprints of the new house. Taking advantage of the blueprints, Lin Lixuan began to buy materials everywhere. He didn't know anything about building a house. He only gave some suggestions when the craftsmen were preparing the blueprints.

The new house was built at the foot of the barren hill, not far from the old house. He chose a courtyard-style house, similar to an old courtyard house. The house was surrounded by white courtyard walls, and fruit trees and vegetable fields were planted in front of the house. At the back of the house, he wants to build a vine trellis and place stone tables and benches for summer rest.

There are a total of ten rooms in the new house, including a kitchen, toilet, bathroom and two halls. There is an open-air hall in the hall, and there are five bedrooms, one for Brother Yan and Lin Lixuan, one for Brother Yu, and one for Zhao Liniang. One, and the remaining two empty rooms are waiting for the future children, if there are children in the future...

and the warehouse woodshed and the like are set up on the other side, as well as the little donkey, the domestic chicken and the lazy fat pig Replace them with a new home, with light through the windows, north-south convection, and smooth ventilation.

He picked a good day and started construction. In addition to the workers hired in the county town, Lin Lixuan recruited several young and middle-aged people from the village to help. Willing to earn this extra money.

Not only does he earn money, but he also provides food. After all, building a house is a labor-intensive job. There is no oil and water in the diet, so there is no strength to move bricks. Lin Lixuan originally planned to find a cook who can cook big pots to help. In the end, Brother Yan took over the job, saying that he could cook meals for twenty or thirty people by himself.

Brother Yan did this not to save money, but more to avoid trouble. Of course, he still has a small wish in his heart, which is to find some energy for himself, spend more effort, and reduce the white fat on his body .

He didn't want to end up being a little white pig in a pigsty.

Lin Lixuan couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to ask Yan Geer to come over to be a cook, and he happened to be a supervisor, so they ate the big pot rice cooked by Yan Geer.

Fortunately, Brother Yan is the chef. These craftsmen and villagers are blessed. The Lin family is generous. Every meal has meat and vegetables, so you can eat meat. Among the people who eat big pot meals, there is Brother Lin. What about Brother Yan? It's not good to make your sweetheart eat well.

In addition, if you invite a cook outside, who would dare to put oil as presumptuously as Brother Yan? Oil is such a precious thing. People in Bixi Village, who are not from a good family, dare to put oil in cooking. I've never heard of it. Brother Yan didn't dare to do it before, but after this year's training, the smell of cooking has become a little bit more oily, and the complexions of the four members of the Lin family have also become more ruddy.

Pork is eaten every day, and chicken soup and fish soup can be eaten every now and then, as well as chicken and fish meat, as well as Brother Yan's good craftsmanship. This day is so beautiful that even the craftsmen from the city are surrounded by everyone At that time, they all said: "I used to build houses for the rich in the county, and I never had such a good time." "The craftsmanship

of the young husband of the Lin family is amazing."

Not to mention the villagers in Xi Village, after eating such good food, they couldn't even eat the food at home when they went back.

"Brother Yan's craftsmanship is undeniable, he is still the most beautiful twin in our village."

"With Lin Xiucai, uh, it should be said that it is Boss Lin, these two people are really a perfect match..."

"By the way, this brother Yan is really blessed. You see, since he married into the Lin family, the Lin family's luck But it's getting better and better, first Lin Xiucai is clear-headed, and then come to the Lin family, the money will be rolling in." "That's the reason, find a Mr. Bazi for Brother Yan, and you will definitely be able to approve the

life of a Wangfu."

An unpopular marriage is now said by the villagers to be a match made in heaven. However, where the sun shines, there are shadows. Some people secretly say:

"These two have been married for a year and a half. Look at the same marriage. Of the three couples who got married one day, Ji Ya's wife ran away, and Ji Qian and Song Qiaoer's sons were born, brother Yan, why is there still no movement in his stomach?"

"...Could it be that brother Yan can't give birth ? The

one who said these words was Liu Tiao'er from Bixi Village. He was also a Shuang'er from Bixi Village. He was plain-looking and married to an ordinary family. His husband, in order to earn money to support the family, also went to build a house for the Lin family. .

Liu Tiao'er was not used to Brother Yan since he was a child, he was jealous of Brother Yan's good looks, he was also a pair of twins, when Brother Yan married a fool, he didn't have any sympathy, and even gloated for a while, no matter how beautiful Shuang'er , It's not just about marrying fools.

Who knew that after marrying a fool, Brother Yan would rise to the sky in one step. On the day of marriage, the fool would no longer be a fool, and let his mother-in-law Zhao Liniang treat him as a lucky star. Will fall in love with Brother Yan, sooner or later he will be driven back to his home by the other party.

Who would have thought that Brother Yan, this illiterate Shuang'er, could actually make Lin Lixuan, who was once obsessed with women and threw himself into the river, fall in love with him.

The Lin family is getting richer and richer, look, their family has to build the kind of big courtyard house that only rich families can afford, but his husband can only be reduced to a helper, taking his family's wages, Liu Tiao'er feels angry uneven.

What made him even more angry was that when his husband came back, he still dared to praise Brother Yan in front of him, saying that Brother Yan cooked good food, he was pretty, and he was good at cooking, and he even told him that after eating Yan Yan The food made by brother can't eat the rice made by his wicker.

When you said you were not angry, Liu Tiao'er became even more jealous.

Brother Yan has been married to Lin Lixuan for more than a year, but has not given birth to a child, and Lin Xiucai still treats him like a treasure, hmph, so what, Liu Tiao'er feels that Brother Yan's good life will not last long.

Wait for another two years, if Brother Yan still can't give birth to a child, he will be miserable. Lin Lixuan can make money so much now, and he will definitely marry a young child like the people in the city. By then, Brother Yan will be in the Lin family's Life is definitely not going to be easy.

He was waiting to see the ending of Ji Yan.

When the Lin family was building a house and recruiting workers, Ji Ya also came to sign up. Ever since his daughter-in-law Zhao Qingqing ran away with the man, Ji Ya had been depressed for a while, and he was so gloomy that he ignored no one. He didn't answer when the villagers called him. Slowly, he became an invisible person.

After the division of Ji's family, the relationship between Ji's family and Ji's family has improved a lot. Maybe it's because of the same hatred, maybe because of the loss of the common mountain above them, the two families finally became an ordinary family of relatives , Occasionally, the far fragrance and the near smell are said to be like this.

Ji's second daughter-in-law is shrewd and good at management. She used to be in charge of Mrs. Ji, and her shrewdness was used for laziness. Now that she is the head of the house, that shrewdness can be said to be put to practical use. .

The second child's family has more and more money, thinking that her youngest son is still a bachelor, even though Liu Yufeng doesn't like Ji Ya, she still has to arrange the marriage for her son and contact a matchmaker in the village to find someone to come and see him.

But Ji Ya didn't agree no matter what, I don't know if he still misses Zhao Qingqing in his heart, his mother asked him to see her, but he ignored it, and he didn't say anything for a whole day, no matter how harsh Liu Yufeng scolded, he All suffer. .

Lin Lixuan was very surprised when he saw Ji Ya, but he would not reject him either. Lin Lixuan observed him for several days and found that Ji Ya was different from before. Sometimes a smirk appears on his face.

It wasn't until Lin Lixuan saw a pair coming to deliver water to Ji Ya that he realized why the change in the other person was because of a new relationship.

That twin has a scar on his face, which should be a birthmark, scattered around the corner of his eye. It looks a little scary at first glance, and it can't be said to be particularly ugly, but compared to Zhao Qingqing, who used to be good-looking, it can be said that one is in the sky and the other is underground. .

He is still a mute, can't speak, and can only express himself with sign language or gestures of huh, huh, huh, but his eyes are full of feelings for Ji Ya.

He smiled and wiped off the sweat on Ji Ya's face with a towel, the birthmark on his forehead was covered by hair, his delicate chin was a bit ashamed, Ji Ya always had a simple and even silly smile on his face, he lowered his head, Shuang'er in front of Ren wiped his sweat for him.

Looking at this scene, it can be said that a good thing is about to happen.

When Lin Lixuan was building a new house, Qiu Geer and Du Feibai got married, Lin Lixuan and Yan Geer went to drink their wedding wine, and now seeing Ji Ya and this dumb pair, it will not be long before they can drink again The second wedding.

After getting married, Brother Qiu still came to help in the store. Lin Lixuan's Lin Kee restaurant changed location in April. The one he rented was too small. Now that he has extra money, he should change the store to a bigger one.

Lin Lixuan rented a two-story wooden building, which was at least six times the size of the original shop. The first floor was used to sell food and ingredients, and the second floor was equipped with tables, chairs and benches for customers to have tea and rest.

Nowadays, the store sells a variety of things, such as fried tofu, dried tofu and other soy products, all kinds of vermicelli including mung bean powder and sweet potato powder, and various vegetables grown at home are also sold in the store. As for the cooked food, there are Hanamaki steamed buns filled with soup, Xiaolongbao cakes, moon cakes and tofu flowers, fried soybeans with melon seeds and peanuts, bone soup, herbal tea, soy milk and juice, and seasonal fruit refreshments.

Now that the store has expanded, and there are more seats on the second floor, Lin Lixuan wanted to expand his business. Considering that most of the buyers of their Hanamaki steamed buns are workers from the wharf and some shops, they have no time to take care of their own breakfast and lunch and just buy some steamed buns Steamed buns are coming soon.

Maybe expand on a simple fast food business...
