Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 15 Rewards
"Upgrade tools? Xiao Linzi, how long does it take to upgrade tools?"

The village head was very worried, for fear that Lin Xiao would delay making salt because of upgrading tools.

After all, they have already made a lot of money by selling the salt that Lin Xiao gave this time.

Now the salt made by Lin Xiao is like a golden egg in the eyes of the couple!

"I want to hand over the first half of the salt-making process to the villagers..."

"How about that!"

Lin Xiao was interrupted by the village head and Ma Guihua in unison before Lin Xiao finished speaking.

To hand over the process of making salt to others is not to tell others the method of making salt in disguise?

When the output increases, the price of salt will become very low. How can they make money? !
"You misunderstood me..."

Lin Xiao said her thoughts seriously, and the village head suddenly realized:

"Xiao Linzi, you mean to lead the whole village to make salt and get rich?"

"Yes, our Lin family village is located in a remote place, and the land is not fertile. Even though there are mountains and water, due to the lack of resources, even wild beasts like tigers don't like to come to forage. Don't you want to see our Lin family Will the village turn over?"

"Of course I hope! It's just that if you do this, you won't be afraid that they will steal your secret recipe for making salt?"

Leading the whole village to become rich is something he never thought of as the village head.

And as a sick young man who has been ridiculed by the villagers all the year round, he thought of this regardless of the past, which made the village chief feel an unprecedented sense of shame.

If the secret recipe is stolen by someone with a heart, wouldn't Lin Xiao's heart be completely chilled?
"Don't worry, as long as I don't tell you this secret recipe, no one will learn it!"

Seeing the confident Lin Xiao, the village chief couldn't say anything more, so he changed the subject and brought the topic to the Jiuzhou Town government to receive the reward.

"Xiao Linzi, I have already reported to the government about your hacking and killing of the python. The government asked you to take the python skin to receive the reward. Who do you plan to take with you?"

Generally speaking, it is enough for Lin Xiao and the village chief to go to the government to receive the reward with the python skin, and then he will pay the village chief some hard work, and the matter will be over.

But Lin Xiao went back to the town not just to receive the reward from the government.

She wants to find a knowledgeable person to sell the python skin for her, and then use the money to buy a big wooden barrel to expand her salt workshop.

"Please ask the village chief to invite Xiaohu, Brother Xiaowu and Mazi to go together!"

Lin Xiaohu is the son of the village chief, so he must establish a good relationship.

Not only because he is the candidate for the village head, but also because the village head will inevitably go to Kyushu City to deliver goods with Ma Guihua in the future, and he will have to mediate all the big and small things in the village in the end.

Lin Xiaowu is Aunt Wu's son, he is honest and honest, although he has no son to carry on his father's job of blacksmithing, but he is a hunter.

Every few months, he would go to Jiuzhou Town to sell the animal skins he had hunted from the hills of other villages.

Knowing the way, with him around, the giant python skin will surely fetch a good price.

As for Mazi, the guy who can't get a fart with three sticks, the village chief was a little surprised, why did he take him there?
But this was Lin Xiao's decision, and he couldn't get to the bottom of it. It would be bad if he was misunderstood that he wanted to share more lai sees.

Lin Xiao stayed at the village head's house for a while, and made an appointment to push the scooter to Jiuzhou Town to receive the reward tomorrow morning, and then returned home.

Li Yuyan just made lunch.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to Zhou's Village. Sister Xiangmei said that the head of the family has already sold the salt, so let me send some more."

"Well, after dinner later, let's make some more salt, you can send it tomorrow, and bring more charcoal when you come back."

"Ok."

"By the way, tomorrow I will go to Jiuzhou Town with the village chief to collect the bounty. Do you have anything I need to bring?"

Hearing this, Li Yuyan raised his head and glanced at Lin Xiao who was shoveling food into his mouth, and a trace of inexplicable unhappiness flashed in his heart.

I didn't know that Lin Xiao was a daughter before, but it didn't matter.

But now that he knew, he was particularly disgusted with Lin Xiao getting close to the opposite sex.

He knew it was morbidly overbearing, but he just couldn't help himself.

"...Nothing, there is nothing missing at home."

After Li Yuyan finished speaking coldly, he left the dining table, picked up his hoe and went to the backyard to loosen the soil and weed.

"She...what's the matter today? Is it the auntie?"

Before dawn the next day, the village head brought Lin Xiaohu, Lin Xiaowu and Mazi to Lin Xiao's house pushing a cart.

Li Yuyan got up earlier than them, and the rice porridge and side dishes were already on the table.

The village chief's eyes went straight when they saw the snow-white rice porridge.

What kind of family conditions are this!

Actually cook porridge with rice!
Even the magistrate doesn't have such a luxury, right? !
"Village head, you guys eat first, the head of the house is washing up, and will be here in a while."

The hostess had already spoken, and the few people couldn't be more polite, so they quickly picked up the bowl and started to drink voraciously.

This is what rice porridge tastes like!

It's sweet and glutinous, and it doesn't make your throat feel uncomfortable at all. It's many times more delicious than the wheat kernel porridge they have eaten!
Wheat kernels are something they are willing to eat during the Chinese New Year.

When Lin Xiao washed up, there was only one bowl of rice porridge left by Li Yuyan.

The rest were all drunk up by several people.

"Oh, look at our ignorance, why did we drink up all the rice porridge cooked by Xiao Linzi!"

The village head expressed regret, but his eyes were fixed on the rice porridge that Li Yuyan specially left for Lin Xiao.

The same is true for the rest of the people. If they hadn't been full just now, their unsatisfactory saliva would have slipped from the corners of their eyes.

"What's so delicious about rice porridge? At noon, I'll invite you to Jiuzhou Town to eat big meat noodles. The taste is amazing."

Hearing that there are big meat noodles for lunch, several people swallowed their saliva non-stop.

Big meat noodles, the village chief watched people eat them when he was in Kyushu City, and he got several copper coins for a bowl!
There is motivation to fill the stomach, and several people tied the giant python skin to the cart, and it took only half a day to arrive at Jiuzhou Town.

Pedestrians on the road gave way when they saw the giant python skin on the cart.

One is to see the python skin still attached to the giant python's head and feel frightened from the bottom of my heart.

The second is to show respect to the hero who killed the giant python.

This greatly satisfied the vanity of Lin Xiaohu and Lin Xiaowu, and their backs straightened unconsciously, as if they had killed this giant python!
A few people went straight to the official office, and the common people who watched the excitement crowded at the entrance of the official office.

It was also the first time for the servants to see such a large python, and they couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamation when they measured the python's skin and head.

Although this giant python is only less than nine meters long, it is big enough that three adults can hold it in its arms!

If it hadn't been hacked to death, I'm afraid it would be the people nearby who suffered!

Thinking of this, the yamen servants looked at Lin Xiao and the others with a bit of reverence.

They didn't embarrass a few people, cut off the python's head, and then handed over the reward of 50 taels of silver to the village chief.

　The older generation said, don't run around in rainy days, you may bump into dirty things easily.

　　There is a person who does not believe in evil, and deliberately runs around when it is raining.

　　Later, he really encountered a strange thing...
