Escape from the desert

Chapter 231 Chapter 231 Big Order Before

The autumn sun was extremely mild, and the tone was calm and hazy. The young master was swaying the folding fan in his hand, revealing most of his covered face from time to time.

"Lin Dong is not here, so it's the same when looking for Aunt Jiang. I have a business and I want to talk to you at Lin's Braised Meat Shop." He waved his folding fan casually, and his voice carried a sense of oppression from the usual superior.

When she heard that she was here to discuss business, the smile on Jiang Yan's face became more real, and she yelled at Tao Bai in the courtyard to serve tea, and then attracted two luxuriously dressed guests who were incompatible with this simple fence and thatched house into the house.

Although the two didn't talk, Jiang Yan could see the disgust and discomfort in their eyes, even when they sat down, especially when Fang Ju wiped the chairs for the young master beforehand, the two sat down.

Jiang Yan's face remained unchanged, and she still smiled decently. It seemed that the two of them had grown up pampered and pampered. It's normal for them to be unaccustomed to the poor and dilapidated farm environment.

"The family is quite busy during this time, and winter is coming soon. There is not enough firewood and fodder at home, and I don't have time to go to the mountains to chop for the time being. I want you to collect some, which will be enough to survive this winter."

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

Thinking of the winters of previous years, Yuanshen always drove the Lin family brothers to the mountains to cut firewood, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, their hands and feet were covered with chilblains and pus, and the wind and cold did not get better from the beginning of winter to the end of winter. She couldn't help but think about it. They are better, not just to keep them warm and healthy this winter, but every winter to come.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll arrange it today and keep it safe this winter so that you don't lack firewood." Lin Cong hurriedly responded, "There are a lot of wild fruits on the mountain during this period, do you want to collect some?"

"What kind of fruit are there?"

"The mountain persimmons at the head of the village are all ripe. I went up the mountain a few days ago. In addition to the persimmons, the chicken feet on the mountain are also ripe."

Jiang Yan nodded. She has been busy with family affairs these days, and she may not have been to the mountains for a long time. This season, the wild chestnuts and prickly pears on the mountains are all edible.

And the chicken feet that Lin Cong mentioned are Hovenia dulcis, and in Linjiacun, they are called chicken feet, also called jujubes. This kind of thing is strangely shaped, like a straw twisted into a ball, and there are two small black balls growing in each mouthpiece. , usually one section or so, like two small bells, Jiang Yan only ate it at her grandmother's house when she was a child.

Farmers are reluctant to buy fruits to eat, and they will go up the mountain to pick some fruits when they are ripe. The chicken feet are juicy, easy to pick, and taste sweet. Not only children like it, adults also like it, and there are conditions Some people will pick some to make wine.

"You seem to charge some. Starting next month, in addition to the fixed monthly money, you will be given a commission based on the amount of goods you receive every month. You are running around and working hard. After the new house is built, You can pull one of the ox carts at home to use, and it will save you from going around to borrow other people’s ox carts."

Lin Cong's pupils widened when he heard the words, and he almost couldn't believe what he heard. Others didn't know, but he knew it very well. It sounds like a little commission is not much, but the value of the goods he got back in a day is quite a lot!
The weather has been a bit colder these few days, and the amount of goods received has been smaller, but there are still more than five taels of silver. Calculated according to a point commission, he can get 50 copper plates, and there are more than one or two taels in a month. A small amount to count.

Leaving aside this point, one or two ox carts will be allocated in the future. Aunt Jiang's house is located in the village, and there are only two or three households with ox carts, and he will soon be the next one!Although the bullock cart was not given to him, it was the first one in Linjiacun to use it!

"Auntie, don't worry, I will work hard in the future, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"

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

!!
"That's right, why didn't I think of this method! After ordering the goods, they delivered them, and we are paying them. Not only did they make money, but they also saved us the time and cost of transportation."

The more Lin Cong thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and he was annoyed why he didn't think of it at first, otherwise the daily volume would only increase.

The two chatted for a while about the shipment, and Lin Cong also left with a snot in his nose.

One or two luxurious carriages entered Linjia Village with great fanfare, and every time they saw a villager driving a carriage, the groom would ask him where Lin Dong's family of "Lin's Braised Meat Shop" was.

The villagers all knew that Jiang Yan's family owned a stewed meat shop in the town. Seeing the luxurious carriage supported by two horses, they all pointed the way.

People in the village have seen horse-drawn carriages quite a few times, from the county magistrate, 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 behind them, two horses like this It was the first time I saw a horse-drawn cart, and many villagers fell behind from a distance to watch the excitement.

Jiang Yan has been busy in the house. The chickens and ducks at home are already full-fledged. The chickens are tall and the ducks are big. She hasn’t eaten duck meat for a long time. Serve the soul dipping sauce, everyone will say it's good!
Standing outside the chicken shed, she looked at the group of chickens and ducks with their wings outstretched and immersed in cooking in the food bowl, and picked the two biggest and fattest ones.

These chickens and ducks were well taken care of by Xiaodouzi and the others. They were fat and strong, their hair was smooth and round, and when she was about to catch them, she was called out by the villagers outside the yard.

She looked up and saw several familiar neighbors greeted her, but they were all far away. It seemed that some important person was at the main entrance of the yard, preventing them from approaching.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to give up catching chickens, and walked towards the door, only to see an extremely gorgeous carriage parked at the door, and two tall and strong horses pouted and shouted.

Jiang Yan frowned and stepped forward. The two men under the carriage were dressed gorgeously, and the young one was even more imposing. His gestures were full of nobility. Looking from a distance, Jiang Yan could feel the contempt of the other. The arrogance of the world.

It was two men she didn't know.

"This is Lin's Braised Pork, Lin Dong's home?"

The person who spoke was an older man, dressed in blue and red top-quality silk clothes, with a piece of expensive jade hanging around his waist, and wearing a pair of brocade-patterned auspicious cloud shoes. Light smile.

Jiang Yan nodded, her voice was a bit wary: "It's Lin Dong's home, I'm Lin Dong's mother, you two can call me Aunt Jiang, I don't know why you two are here?"

Lin Dong is busy in the store every day and contacts many people. Although the Lin family's stewed meat shop is not big, the stewed meat business is getting better every 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 is here.

"It turned out to be Aunt Jiang. Please forgive me for the sudden visit. I'm below. I don't know if Aunt Jiang has heard of the Huafang Building in Linfang County? This is the shopkeeper of Huafang Building. This is our young owner."

Fang Ju introduced himself with a bit of arrogance. Although he asked Jiang Yan if he knew Huafang Building, he was sure that Jiang Yan knew about him. He was confident that Fanghua Building had a good reputation. There is no one who does not know.
