Chapter 230 A Visit from New Guests

"My family is very busy during this time, and winter is about to come. We don't have enough firewood and fodder reserves at home, and we can't find time to go to the mountains to chop some. I want you to collect some, so that you can get through this winter."

Although we can move into a new house before winter, the consumption of firewood will not be low. If we don’t reserve it in advance, we will have to go to the mountains when it’s cold and snowy.

Thinking of the winters of previous years, when the original body always drove the Lin family brothers to the mountains to cut firewood, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen from the cold, and their hands and feet were covered with frostbite and pus.

They are better, not only allowing them to spend this winter warm and healthy, but also every winter in the future.

"Aunt, don't worry, I will make arrangements today to ensure that you will not be short of firewood this winter." Lin Cong hurriedly agreed, "There are a lot of wild fruits in the mountains during this period, do you want to collect some too?"

"What kind of fruits are there?"

"The persimmons on the mountain at the head of the village are all ripe. A few days ago, I followed them to the next mountain. In addition to the persimmons, the chicken feet on the mountain are also ripe."

Jiang Yan nodded. She has been busy with things at home during this period. She may not have been to the mountains for a long time. In this season, the wild chestnuts and prickly pears on the mountains are edible.

The chicken paws Lin Cong was talking about are Zhizhi. People here call them chicken paws, also called guaizaoer. This kind of thing has a weird shape, just like a straw twisted into a ball, with two small black ones growing on each mouth.

The balls usually hang one on each side of a small section, like two small bells. Jiang Yan only ate them at her grandmother's house when she was a child.

Farmers are reluctant to buy fruits to eat. Every year when the fruits are ripe on the mountain, they go up to the mountain to pick some. The chicken feet are juicy, easy to pick, and taste sweet. Not only children like it, but adults also like to eat it, and if conditions permit,

People also pick some to make wine.

"You see, you can collect some. Starting from next month, in addition to your fixed monthly payment, you will be given a commission based on the quantity of goods you receive. You will run around and work hard. After the new house is built,

You can pull one of the ox-carts at home and use it, which saves you having to borrow other people's ox-carts everywhere."

Lin Cong's pupils widened when he heard this. He almost couldn't believe what he heard. Others didn't know it, but he knew it very well. A commission of one point may not sound like much at first, but the goods he recovered in one day were worth a lot!

The weather has been colder these days, so the amount of goods received has been smaller, but there are still more than five taels of silver. Calculated based on a one-point commission, he can get 50 copper plates, which is more than one tael in a month. This is still based on the minimum

Calculate a small amount.

Putting aside this point, an ox cart will be allocated to him in the future. Apart from Aunt Jiang’s family, there are only two or three households with ox carts in the village, and he will soon be the next one! Although the ox cart is not for him, it can

This is the first time in Linjiacun to use it!

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

Jiang Yan nodded and said: "It's very hard for you to go to several villages to recycle goods by yourself. Now that the roads in the village have been repaired, you can adjust some prices appropriately and let villagers from other villages deliver the goods."

!!

"Yeah, why didn't I think of this method? After ordering the goods, they delivered them and we paid them. Not only did they make money, but it also helped us save the time and cost of transportation."

The more Lin Cong thought about it, the more reasonable it became. He was annoyed that he had not thought of it at the beginning, otherwise the daily volume would only increase.

The two chatted for a while about the cargo transportation issue, and then Lin Cong left with a bruised nose.

A luxurious carriage entered Linjia Village with great fanfare. Every time he saw a villager driving the carriage, the horseman would ask him where Mr. Lin's family of "Lin's Braised Meat Shop" was.

The villagers all knew about the braised pork shop run by Jiang Yan's family in the town. Looking at the luxurious carriage supported by two horses, they all pointed out the direction.

People in the village have seen carriages many times, from the county magistrate's, from Aunt Jiang's family, and even from Aunt Jiang's customer's family. Although the carriages are very luxurious, there is only one horse pulling the carriage. Two horses like this

This was the first time I saw a big horse-drawn cart, so many villagers followed from a distance to watch the excitement.

Jiang Yan has been busy working in the house. The chickens and ducks at home have become plump and plump. She hasn’t eaten duck meat for a long time. She just wants to make braised duck with perilla, butcher a chicken and make a Cantonese-style boiled duck.

Chicken, paired with soul dipping sauce, everyone will like it!

She stood outside the chicken shed, looking at the chickens and ducks that spread their wings and were busy cooking in the food bowls, and selected the two largest and fattest ones.

These chickens and ducks were well taken care of by Xiaodouzi and the others. They grew fat and strong, with smooth, shiny and round hair. When she was about to catch them, she was called several times by the villagers outside the yard.

She looked up and saw several familiar neighbors saying hello to her, but they were all far away. There seemed to be some big shot at the main entrance of the yard, making them afraid to approach.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to give up catching chickens and walked towards the door. She saw an extremely gorgeous carriage parked at the door, with two tall and strong horses pouting their hooves and shouting non-stop.

Jiang Yan frowned and stepped forward. The two men under the carriage were gorgeously dressed, and the younger one was even more imposing. His gestures were full of nobility. Looking over from a distance, Jiang Yan could feel the other's disdain.

The arrogance in the world.

They were two men she didn't know.

"Is this Lin's Braised Pork, Lin Dong's home?"

The speaker was an older man. He was dressed in blue and red fine silk clothes, with an expensive jade stone hanging on his waist. He was wearing a pair of brocade-patterned auspicious cloud shoes. He was not tall, and his waist was slightly arched. He spoke with a smile on his face.

A slight smile.

Jiang Yan nodded, her voice a little wary: "This is Lin Dong's home, and I am Lin Dong's mother. You two can call me Aunt Jiang. I wonder what you are doing here?"

Lin Dong is busy in the store every day and comes into contact with many people. Although the Lin family's braised pork shop is not big, the braised pork business is getting better day by day. It is normal for him to know a few wealthy people, but I don't know how these people still find the Lin family.

The village has arrived.

"It turns out to be Aunt Jiang. Please forgive me for the unexpected visit. I wonder if Aunt Jiang has ever heard of Huafang House in Linfang County? I am the shopkeeper of Huafang House. This is our young boss's home."

Fang Ju introduced himself with a bit of arrogance. Although he asked Jiang Yan if she knew about Huafang Tower, he was sure that Jiang Yan knew about it. He was confident that Fanghua Tower's reputation was not small, as long as it was in Linfang County

There is no one who doesn’t know.

A smile appeared on Jiang Yan's face, and her standard eight big white teeth were exposed. She smiled and said: "Of course I know. Who among the people in Linfang County doesn't know the name of Huafang Building? I just don't know that Shopkeeper Fang

What do you want to do with this young master, Lin Dong? He is still looking at a shop in town right now."
