Chapter 177 The Lin Family is Recruiting Again
Some people rush to be cheated, and they really can't do anything about it.
After tying the red string, Lin Xiaoman couldn't help showing off. It turned out that girls love beauty no matter where they are.
"Brother, does it look good?"
"It looks good!" Lin Jingzhe chuckled and said a little embarrassedly: "Xiao Man, when will you make beggar's chicken again?"
Lin Xiaoman: ...
Love Lin. Foodie. Jingzhe has always been thinking about the taste of beggar's chicken?
"Is it delicious?" Lin Xiaoman gritted her teeth and looked at her brother's slightly flattering face because of his stuttering. "If you want to eat beggar's chicken, you have to kill the chicken first. Are you sure your parents will let you kill a chicken a day?"
Eating one chicken a day is impossible even in modern times.
What's more, they ate two beggar's chickens in a row yesterday.
The chicken that was originally intended for the old house was eaten together.
It’s not their fault, the beggar’s chicken is just so delicious, better than any roast chicken I’ve ever made.
The tender and juicy chicken has an unforgettable taste.
Dad was also in a bad mood yesterday, but when he saw something delicious, he turned his anger into appetite.
By the time he realized he still had a chicken to give to his parents, the family had already eaten all the chicken and only the bones were left.
Even the chicken bones were eaten clean by Lin Jingzhe.
"Then I'll catch another one in two days."
The boy licked the corner of his lips, and it seemed that there was still the taste of beggar's chicken on the corner of his lips.
"Okay, remember to learn it when the time comes, so that when you travel around the country and want to eat something, you can make it yourself."
Lin Jingzhe snorted, "No way, I'll eat the beggar's chicken you make for the rest of my life. When you get married, I'll shamelessly call you brother-in-law and eat at his house every day."
Lin Xiaoman was amused by his silly and rogue look.
My brother can come up with all kinds of ideas because of his stuttering.
However, she said that she wanted to eat meat every day, but it seems that she is still a long way from eating meat and rice in large mouthfuls.
She has to keep working hard.
Since Beggar’s Chicken has received unanimous praise from the whole family, can Beggar’s Chicken also be sold?
Nowadays, the chickens and ducks at home are mainly raised for laying eggs. If we want to make beggar chickens to sell, we will have to raise more chickens and ducks.
Now Zhou Quan is in charge of almost all the chickens and ducks, and when there are too many chickens and ducks, he will have to call people.
According to the current situation at home, we don’t know if that high-ranking official will ask for a third or fourth batch of sausages. My parents will definitely not agree.
Oh, I’m so worried!
With "jackals" in front and "tigers and leopards" behind, life is really frustrating.
The joy of having just tied the red string was slowly dissipated.
She looked at Lin Jingzhe with a sharp gaze.
I wonder how my brother is doing in his studies?
At my current pace of study, can I pass the imperial examination and become a student after two or three years?
If my brother also became a student or a scholar, would no one bully them anymore?
You still have to have dreams.
What if the Lin family's ancestors show up and my brother gets lucky enough to pass the imperial examination?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoman looked at Lin Jingzhe with even more passion.
Lin Jingzhe felt a chill on his back and touched the back of his head. He was startled as he looked at the girl's face getting closer and closer, "Xiaoman, why are you looking at me like that?"
Lin Xiaoman chuckled.
She was not looking at Lin Jingzhe, she was looking at the future juren!
"Brother, why are you still standing here watching the fun? Have you read your books today? Have you memorized everything you need to memorize? Have you practiced your calligraphy?"
Faced with Lin Xiaoman's four consecutive questions, Lin Jingzhe suddenly felt dizzy.
The little sister's soul-searching questioning was so intense that Lin Jingzhe glanced at her, said "I'll go right away", and ran away.

Jialin County Government Office.
"Sir, I rushed to Dayi Town, but the owner and manager of Ruyi Restaurant were not there, so the banknote..."
The confidant in the yamen runner's uniform looked embarrassed holding the banknote.
County Magistrate Zhen stared at the banknotes, squinting his eyes and slowly said, "Then wait a few days before sending it. Before sending it, ask them to send another 1,000 kilograms of Chinese sausages. Oh, by the way, I heard there are also preserved eggs, so ask them to send 2,000 preserved eggs."
"Sir, this..."
The confidant looked at the young man with a foxy face and couldn't help but worry for the young master of Ruyi Restaurant.
I don’t know what the young master wants to do with so many sausages.
Even if it was used as an annual gift for the Zhen Mansion in the capital, there were already two thousand kilograms of sausages in total.
"What? It's not like I won't give you the money, why do you look like that?"
"Sir, I didn't know you would give me money."
The confidant put the silver on the table and said, "I will leave first."
A pound of sausage costs fifty cents, and two thousand pounds of sausage costs eighty taels of silver.
For these wealthy businessmen, the tributes they paid to the county government in the past were probably more than this.
No wonder the young master never mentioned the word money.
Thinking of this, the content of the letter from the capital automatically emerged in County Magistrate Zhen's mind, and his brows furrowed.
-
A few days later.
"Shopkeeper Tong, you're finally back." When the waiter saw the dusty Shopkeeper Tong, it was like seeing his reborn parents.
"What's the big deal?"
"The bailiff in front of the county magistrate has come again."
Shopkeeper Tong's heart skipped a beat. "What did you say?"
The waiter shook his head and said, "I heard that you and the young master were not here, so the bailiff left without saying anything."
Shopkeeper Tong frowned, wondering if he wanted another thousand kilograms of sausages?
The young master was just preparing to transport two thousand kilograms of sausages to Shu, and it seems that he will have to set aside another thousand kilograms to send to the county magistrate.
"Okay, the bailiff will definitely come back again in the next two days, so hurry up and get going."
After saying this, he ignored his tiredness and turned around to rush to the young master's residence.
After listening to Manager Tong's report, the young master thought for a moment, and after a cup of tea, he stood up and ordered, "Xiao Liu, prepare the horses. Manager Tong, I'll trouble you to go to Shanglin Village with me again."
"Young Master, your words really embarrass me."
More than half an hour later, a carriage drove into Shanglin Village and stopped in front of Lin Dajiang's house.
People in Shanglin Village, young and old, are no longer surprised to see the familiar car decorations.
Lin Dajiang happened to be at home. Seeing the young master who had not been seen for a long time coming, he thought that he had brought some good news, so he greeted him with a smile, "Young master, you are here!"
The young master smiled lightly and gestured for him to come in. "Uncle Lin, come in and talk."
A group of people gathered around the Lin family's newly built wooden table. Lin Dajiang opened and closed his mouth, and finally said nothing, waiting quietly for the young master to speak.
Lin Xiaoman did not sit at the table. Instead, she took out a newly bought teacup, soaked it with freshly made osmanthus honey in autumn, and served it to everyone.
The young master took a sip and put down the teacup.
"Uncle Lin, I'm afraid the county magistrate will send someone to ask for sausages again. If that happens, I won't have enough of what I need."
Lin Dajiang was surprised: "Young Master, do you mean... to hire more people to make more sausages?"
"Yes. Let's not talk about whether the county magistrate will pay for the sausages he wants. A few days ago, we just negotiated a deal for 1,500 kilograms of sausages to be shipped to Shu as soon as possible."
One thousand five hundred kilograms?
This...the county magistrate asks for one thousand kilograms each time. So, these two places will require two thousand five hundred kilograms.
Seeing Lin Dajiang's surprised look, the young master knew that he didn't understand the reason, so he explained: "Uncle Lin, you can just count the sausages that the county magistrate wants as mine. Even if the county magistrate doesn't want the sausages, we are doing business here and we have to send a letter of surrender to the county magistrate. If it's real money, it won't be enough for dozens or hundreds of taels of silver."
Lin Dajiang knew that there were no honest officials, but there were so many merchants in Jialin County, each of whom had hundreds or thousands of taels of silver. The county magistrate's mansion might not be able to accommodate them all.
"So Uncle Lin, don't worry. I'll have Shopkeeper Tong include the sausages that the county magistrate wants in the account when we settle the bill before the New Year."
Li Taohua breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Dajiang's anxious heart slowly settled down.
It turns out that doing business has so many twists and turns.
They thought that the county magistrate, who was guilty of heinous crimes and had extorted the people's wealth, was actually easy to deal with in the eyes of the young master.
Lin Dajiang couldn't help but feel lucky that he could enjoy the shade under the big tree!
"Uncle Lin, we don't know how to make sausages, so we need you to take care of it."
"It's okay, it's okay. Just say the word and I will make as many sausages as you want." Lin Dajiang's worries were gone and he regained his full spirits.
The young master wanted to increase the quantity of sausages, so he carefully supervised the production and recruited another ten or eight people.
If he could recruit more people in the village, there would be fewer villagers who have to scrape together money and then get cheated.
cough cough cough.
Lin Dajiang realized that he was overthinking.
When did he ever think about others?
He does business simply to make his family better.
Don't let your children go hungry.
The wife should not be wronged.
Having enough food and warm clothes are just the most basic wishes.
The young master left after drinking the osmanthus honey.
Before leaving, he shamelessly asked Li Taohua for a can.
He was only too embarrassed to say that he thought it tasted good when he was told to take it back to his grandmother.
After the young master and his family's carriage drove away, Lin Dajiang took out a dozen maltose and waved to Miaomiao, Goudan and other children who were playing not far away.
Goudan ran over first.
"Goudan, each of you can have two of the maltose here. Go around the village later and tell everyone you meet that we are looking for work. Remember that?"
"it is good."
Children love sweets the most.
As long as there is sugar, everything is enough.
I don't even want to play in the mud now.
Goudan gave two candies to each of them. After that, there was still one left. He hid it quietly in his pocket. After thinking for a while, he also hid one of his own candies and prepared to take it back to share with the two sisters.
"Let's go, Uncle Dajiang's family is hiring again!"
The youngest Niu Dan, who couldn't speak clearly, also shouted: "Looking for candy!"
Goudan laughed loudly: "What do you mean by inviting people to eat candy? Adults don't want candy. Candy is for children. Adults want copper coins and silver. I'll shout a sentence and you shout a sentence. Don't shout the wrong one!"
"Uncle Dajiang's family is hiring!"
There was a roar from Goudan in front, followed by a series of sparse and childish cries.
When the kids ran from one end of the village to the other, and played from the other end, every household in Shanglin Village knew that the Lin family was recruiting again.
When people heard the news, they did not dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly sent their children to the fields to call their families back.
After putting on their newest and best coats, washing their hands and faces, the whole family packed up and hurried to the end of the village.
The Lin family's door was open.
Lin Dajiang just sat in the yard, waiting for the villagers to come.
Less than an hour after the young master left, the Lin family's yard was filled with villagers from Shanglin Village.
The head of the village was also alarmed and rushed over, "Dajiang, are you going to recruit again?"
Lin Dajiang stood up and welcomed the head of the village in. "Yes, the young master's business is getting bigger and bigger. He came just now to ask me to make more sausages."
"Okay, okay, that's a good thing!"
The Lin family was not affected, so the villagers could work for the Lin family.
Only if there is work to do can there be money to earn, and only then can the villagers of Shanglin Village live better and better.
Li Zheng stroked his half-white beard and couldn't stop feeling happy.
"How many people are you going to recruit this time?"
Lin Dajiang always answered every question, "Ten."
When they heard that they wanted to recruit ten people, everyone in the yard started chattering.
"Wow, they want ten this time! I think I have a chance."
"It seems that the Lin family is indeed not affected."
"Of course, I heard that the owner of Ruyi Restaurant has businesses all over Lin'an Prefecture, and there are more than a dozen restaurants. Didn't Brother Dajiang say last time that he works for the young master? Even if there is any influence, the one affected is the young master of Ruyi Restaurant."
"Oh, Brother Dajiang, how come you are so lucky! Why don't I have the chance to meet these people?"
"You wish for it. Even if you know him, can you have the courage of Brother Dajiang?"
"That's right. If you put it that way, Uncle Lin Gui's ancestral tomb is really full of smoke. Each of them is so promising. I'll ask my mother to find out where the Lin family's ancestral tomb is buried..."
......
twitter.
Noisy and bustling.
Lin Dajiang was so annoyed that he wanted to stuff cotton into his mouth.
"Ahem." He coughed twice and repeated the recruitment requirements.
"When you come to work for me, cleanliness is the first priority. After all, the sausages we make are for food. Secondly, anyone who is caught cheating will be sent home directly. There will be no second chance."
"Brother Dajiang, as long as we can make money, we'll do whatever you say!"
"Yes, yes. We have heard that working for you requires a lot of requirements, so we asked around early on. Now this is what the wife at home requires of us."
"That's good. To be fair, everyone should come here for the interview at noon tomorrow."
The villagers of Shanglin Village are no longer surprised to hear the word "interview".
The villagers' minds have long been on tomorrow's interview. Some even went straight home and took eggs to the homes of the families who worked for the Lin family, trying to ask some questions so that they could prepare for tomorrow's interview in advance.

The next day, Lin Dajiang and Li Taohua returned from town.
"Is Taohua back?"
"Yes, Aunt Luomei is washing clothes?"
"Well, don't be too diligent. You and Dajiang are busy these days."
"I understand, Aunt Luomei, I will pay attention to it."
Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, a group of people saw the Lin family returning.
The people who were originally sitting and chatting on the rocks all rushed home without any prior arrangement.
The donkey was having fun in front.
I thought it had driven everyone away.
When he got home, Lin Dajiang drove the donkey back to the donkey shed.
“Ahhh—ahhh—ahhh—ahhh.”
The silly donkey barked wildly at the black horse next door.
Li Taohua took a look and asked, "Is the donkey hungry?"
Lin Dajiang looked at the donkey running around happily and said, "I guess he's showing off to the dark horse!"
"Our donkey knows this, doesn't that mean it has become a spirit?"
Lin Dajiang smiled and said, "Of course not. Everything has a soul."
