In Lin Yuanwai's mind, even if he is an outer disciple of Donglin Academy, he can absorb some scholarly atmosphere, which is much better than the disciples of Tianchang Academy. Therefore, he is not thinking about finding a wife for Lin Fengjin.
Zi then calmed down and said anxiously:
"Is this really happening?"
Lin Fengjin calculated and weighed it over and over in his mind, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded:
"That's right!"
Lin Yuanwai knew that although his son was cunning, he would never lie in front of him. If there was something secretly hidden from him, it was possible, but as long as it was something he had personally agreed to, it should not be possible.
There was too much moisture, and my ambition to be an "official father" suddenly rose again, and I couldn't help but ask:
"real?"
Lin Fengjin patted his chest and said:
“We’ll see what happens when the new year begins!”
It was now the end of October, less than three months before the start of the new year. Lin Yuanwai immediately took a reassurance and walked out with a smile on his face, hands behind his back, and never mentioned the matchmaking again. Lin Fengjin was booed.
He took a deep breath and walked outside, finally getting rid of the difficult old man.
Lin Fengjin thought as he walked, and couldn't help but start to wonder if he should find an excuse to go out and meet the old man every day. He must have reached the age of menopause. Otherwise, what if the trouble is endless?
At this time, Liu Zhi, the eldest girl in the house, came across. She was sold to the Lin family by her parents at the age of eight. She had watched Lin Fengjin grow up, so she was not shy, so she walked over and said timidly:
"Master, my family invites you to come over for dinner."
Liu Zhi had been taken over by Lin De a long time ago. Although Liu Zhi eloped with that dead guy Sun Jun, it was because the Lin family had strict rules and people came and went without success. So when she followed Lin De, she was still young.
She lost her virginity, so she had a bad reputation and could only be Linde's concubine.
At this time, as soon as Li Hu left, Lin De naturally began to vaguely take his place. His status also rose with the tide. As the market was bullish, naturally there were people who wanted to act as matchmakers.
Lin De is not as picky as Lin Fengjin. The men on the grassland are very generous, which is not only reflected in their drinking capacity. As long as there is someone who comes to arrange marriage, they will not reject anyone regardless of their beauty or ugliness, and they will be very generous with their actions.
It's a perfect stallion behavior, and there is no distinction between wives and concubines in the family. They are all of the same age. If they compete with each other and cry, they will be whipped.¨
If things go on like this, it will be hard for others to make irresponsible remarks. Actually, there are no big problems in the family, and Liu Zhi has a gentle personality, and she has shared hardships with Linde. She is also responsible for dealing with others, so she gradually has a big relationship.
The meaning of room is in it.
When Lin Fengjin heard Liu Zhi's invitation, he went directly to Lin De's house without refusing to be polite. As the number one person under him, Lin De certainly wouldn't treat him badly. He only lived in Sanjin.
There are five or six rooms in each large house. In addition, there are an additional 30 acres of paddy fields and 60 acres of dry land. This does not include the monthly silver that Linde receives every month.
However, Lin De himself is usually too lazy to take care of these accounts and expenditures. In short, when he gets the money, he throws it to Liu Zhi. If he doesn't have any money, he just asks Liu Zhi for it. Fortunately, Liu Zhi has been a maid in the Lin family for more than ten years.
He has seen the world and knows some common sense about financial management, bill collection, and rent collection. Otherwise, Linde would really not be able to manage this family.
Although Linde has left the tribe for more than ten years, now that he has a place to stay, he still has not forgotten his roots. He directly leveled the rockery and other things in the garden behind his big house, and also widened the wall and enclosed the back door.
I went into the boss's vegetable patch and built a martial arts arena, which was about the size of an elementary school playground.
This guy changed his destiny at this time, and he was very ambitious. In his spare time, he would ride horses and shoot on it. When guests came, he did not like to entertain guests at the table, but would directly set up a rack to barbecue on the martial arts ground.
If there is wine and rice, it will be placed on the table moved next to it. The emphasis is on drinking wine in large bowls and eating large pieces of meat, which has a unique flavor.
From a distance, Lin Fengjin saw a wretched figure sitting next to the table, eating a lot of stuff, but it was none other than Taoist Fu who was sent out by him to do something! He didn't know when he came back, but as soon as he came back
It is inevitable to come to Linde to eat and drink, everyone is accustomed to it.
Hearing the footsteps, Taoist priest Fu immediately turned around, and then immediately changed his expression at an astonishing speed! He rubbed the sleeves of his tattered Taoist robe twice in his eyes, and immediately turned red, but Lin Fengjin probably wiped his mouth on the sleeves.
Thanks to the cumin powder and pepper powder that he applied at the time, Taoist Fu then aimed at Lin Fengjin in an extremely obscene manner and pounced on him affectionately:
"Master! You've exhausted me to death, ah!"
Lin Fengjin decisively kicked the sole of his shoe into his face before he got close, then Shi Shiran sat down on the horse next to him and scolded:
"Don't do this, don't you just want to get a few more rewards? Tell me how the assigned tasks are going?"!
Taoist Fu got up from the ground with a grimace and said aggrievedly:
"Isn't this done?"
It couldn't be easier to eliminate Taoist Fu's resentment. A few taels of silver are enough to make this guy smile. It turns out that what Lin Fengjin asked Taoist Fu to do was none other than the giant piece of meteorite gold found in the tomb of the female pupa.
!
It was always a worry to keep this thing there. After Lin Fengjin returned home, he also investigated it and found that the current refining process was quite advanced. It should be mainly because of the existence of magical powers and the ability to use various spells, so he
Then I asked a few old ironworkers to talk about the matter from beginning to end, and found that I could rough process the meteorite first, remove the stone inside, and then transport it back.
Lin Fengjin appointed Taoist Fu to lead people to do this. In short, the area was deserted for dozens of miles, so if you were careful, you wouldn't be afraid of leaks.
At this time, Taoist Fu talked about his experience with excitement. It turned out that the meteorite seemed to be indestructible, and even the monster with unparalleled power could do nothing to it.
In the eyes, this giant meteorite, which is as huge as a hill, is really as indistinguishable from a big ball of tofu.
Speaking of how to get this meteorite gold, it couldn't be simpler. Light a fire and burn it for a few hours, then pour cold water on it. Repeat this a few times and the top will become full of cracks. Then use a steel drill to insert it along the cracks.
A few strong men used hammers to pry it open, and it immediately rolled down.
Because Lin Fengjin also wanted to pursue speed, when the furnace was opened for preliminary processing, he purchased more than twenty "Nanming Lihuo" charms and pasted them on the casting furnace to greatly increase the temperature.
It was only completed so quickly under the supervision of Taoist Fu.
The iron ingots extracted for the first time this time were about ten or so, weighing nearly two thousand kilograms. It was estimated that they would need to be purified a second time and three times. At this time, they were all placed in the cabin as ballast stones. In order to hide their eyesight, they had to go secretly at night.
After getting up and coming back, Taoist Fu felt that he had to pay for the food on the ship, so he endured hunger and went directly to Lin De to eat for free.
At this time, Linde had already walked over with five or six grilled fish, about half a foot long. He could smell the fragrant aroma from a distance. Linde said to Lin Fengjin:
"The last time I saw the master having a drink in a restaurant, he seemed to like this kind of fish very much, so I asked people to watch it on the pier. Today, I collected some from five fishing boats, so I specially invited the master to come over and have a drink.
"
It is said that the fish Linde is holding is the famous saury, one of the four delicacies of the Yangtze River.
The four delicacies of the Yangtze River refer to: whitebait, saury, fish and shad. In the era before Lin Fengjin traveled through, they were almost extinct. At that time, the total output of the wild "four delicacies" in the entire Yangtze River in a year was not much.
It will exceed one ton (referring to pure Yangtze River products, excluding those produced in Taihu, Dongting and other places). Think about such a pitiful output, and then divide it into the terrible population base at that time, so the chance of eating authentic products is very small.
One can imagine.
But now there is no scruple. As long as you are willing to pay, you can not only sell these fish, but also choose them. If you want to eat this kind of river fish, you have to go to a small mountain shop near the river. It is best if the shop has a tie in front.
The kind with five or six fishing boats.
The last time Lin Fengjin ate the braised saury with soy sauce, he was amazed. However, he only ate two of them and was not fully satisfied. Lin De paid attention to it that day and asked his family to go to the pier to buy some specially for the guests.
Lin Fengjin naturally sat down happily at this time, and Taoist Fu never knew what humility was. For example, when greeting him, he must not ask if he has eaten. If asked, he will immediately answer that he has not eaten, and then probably
I will eat and drink at your house for a month--after the three of them sat down, Lin Fengjin ate a piece of grilled fish and started drinking.
Only Taoist Fu wolfed it down and quickly emptied the plate. Finally, he actually said to Lin De:
“The barbecue here tastes very good, but it’s a pity that it’s not very authentic.”
Lin De was very considerate. When he heard this, he jumped up, slapped his thigh and said angrily:
"What? How dare the housekeeper buy fake goods to deceive me? Drag him out and beat him to death!"
Lin Fengjin hurriedly stopped and said with a smile:
"You can't blame him. I remember that your housekeeper came from Hecang, not a local here, so he probably doesn't know the strange place of this saury. As long as it flows back through the upper reaches of the Zhenjiang River Basin,
Starting from the downstream of Nantong Tiansheng Port, its taste will change strangely and its value will plummet. Although we drink the same river water, the weirdness is here. So it is difficult for non-experts to tell the difference between authentic saury and fakes."
