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

Chapter 18 Don't be afraid, lady, my general has invited me.

When Lin Xiao saw Li Yuyan, he threw himself into his arms as if he had seen a savior.

Li Yuyan was bewildered by this sudden move, and was stunned.

Smelling the faint body fragrance wafting from Lin Xiao's body, his heart beat faster.

He took a deep breath, calmed down his confusion, gently pushed Lin Xiao away and said:
"I bought the cloth, go and see if it can be used."

"Ok!"

Lin Xiao bounced out of the kitchen.

As soon as Li Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Xiao poked her head out of the door frame, and her voice was smiling:

"Yuyan, how about stewing soybean and pig's feet soup for lunch?"

"Little greedy cat, soybeans are a grain seed, how can you get its idea?"

"It's not that I want to eat, it's that I want you to make up for it. Look at you, you are so big but you are an airport."

Only then did Li Yuyan notice Lin Xiao's inappropriate eyes, he turned around subconsciously, and said with a guilty conscience:

"I don't like pig's trotter soup, so I'll have braised pork for lunch today."

With the villagers making the most laborious first step, the remaining steps are much easier for them to do.

It only took one afternoon, and the two of them produced more than [-] catties of table salt.

Mazi and his wife helped to pour all the salt into the bamboo tubes sent by Zhang Xiaowu and his wife.

In this way, a simple salt production line was initially completed.

When Lin Xiao learned from Li Yuyan that the owner of the grain and oil store in the town had ordered fifty catties of salt, her smile was brighter than flowers.

She stepped on the stool and patted Li Yuyan's shoulder, and said seriously:

"Sister, this time we are going to get rich!"

Lin Xiao was right, they were really going to get rich, and it was the kind that drove the whole village to become well-off.

When Aunt Wu saw her son and daughter-in-law brought back salt whiter than snow from Lin Xiao, she immediately understood the secret of Lin Xiao's fortune.

"Xiao Linzi actually knows how to make salt?"

"Isn't it! Since he got married, the changes have really been extraordinary."

Lin Xiaowu sighed.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for him to believe that the weak and sick young man with eyes on the top of his head could not only make salt, but also save his old mother from the mouth of a giant python.

"It's no wonder that Xiaolinzi is full of poisonous rock salts... Son, why don't we try to make it? Xiaolinzi knows it, and I believe my son will too!"

Aunt Wu is full of confidence in her son.

When Lin Xiaowu heard what Aunt Wu said, he was angry and annoyed. He gave his wife a wink, and the daughter-in-law immediately took out a dime from their house.

Aunt Wu looked at the hanging money, and opened her mouth in disbelief:
"Son, how do you have so much money?!"

"Given by Xiao Linzi!"

"He, he, he gave it?"

Aunt Wu asked stammeringly.

"He not only gave us the bounty from the government and the money from selling snake skins, but also treated us to big meat noodles, bought maltose for you and candied haws for the children!"

Aunt Wu smacked her mouth, but the fragrance of maltose in her mouth was still lingering.

Lin Xiaowu continued: "Do you know why Xiaolinzi wants the whole village to collect rock salt?"

Aunt Wu shook her head.

"The method of melting salt rocks and frying them to produce inedible salt rock salt is what Xiao Linzi asked us to teach the villagers."

Hearing this, Aunt Wu was even more puzzled, what exactly was Lin Xiao trying to do?
Lin Xiaowu: "Xiao Linzi said that the process of making salt is too complicated and dangerous. If any step is wrong, not only will it not be able to remove the toxins in the salt rock, but it will be a waste of success!"

"So he doesn't recommend that the villagers try it on their own, but he hopes that the villagers can become prosperous together, so he teaches everyone the simplest first step."

Lin Xiaowu's words hit Aunt Wu's head like a mallet, and she suddenly woke up:
"No wonder he asked for so many salt stones at that time. It turned out that he was making table salt!"

"Mother, Xiao Linzi is really nice. I'll give him bamboo tubes for salt now, and I'll give him three copper coins for sixteen. It's much better than hunting outside with all my might!"

Aunt Wu was shocked: "There are many bamboos out there, isn't this money the same as picking it up for nothing?"

"That's right! Mother, we don't want to do the kind of dirty things that eat other people's food and smash them!"

After hearing what her son said, Aunt Wu had an idea in her mind, and she called the women in the village together the next morning, and told her all that Lin Xiaowu had said to her last night.

Coupled with the help of Ma Guihua and the village chief, the villagers all gave up the idea of ​​making salt by themselves.

Some continued to provide Lin Xiao with inedible rock salt.

Some of them collected some salt from Lin Xiao and carried their poles to other villages to sell them door-to-door.

They think very clearly, even if they can make salt, don't they still have to sell it in the end?
Why risk making your own salt when the results are the same?
It's better to get the salt directly from Lin Xiao and sell it directly to make money!
For a while, the Lin Family Village was even busier than the busy farming season, and there were hardly any people in sight.

After the women finished their farm work, they boiled rock salt, and then sold it to Lin Xiao to supplement their household expenses.

The men bought salt on credit from Lin Xiao and sold it door-to-door in other villages.

The seven days were up soon, and Li Yuyan drove the cart to Jiuzhou Town with fifty catties of salt.

After these days of observation, he feels that it won't be long before he has the capital to form a death squad, and then go to the palace to assassinate the current saint Li Yuquan to avenge his mother!

As soon as they arrived at the grain and oil store in Jiuzhou Town, the shopkeeper pushed the cart with Li Yuyan to the Jiuzhou other courtyard in the suburbs on the grounds of collecting the bill.

Li Yuyan didn't realize that he had been fooled by the shopkeeper until he saw the four big characters "Kyushu Bieyuan"!
Just as he was about to escape, the gate of the Kyushu Bieyuan opened, and a man in casual clothes came out from inside.

This person is the lead soldier who went to the grain and oil store seven days ago, Luo Ping.

When the shopkeeper saw him, he immediately nodded and bowed to him, flatteringly said:
"Master Jun, I brought you the salt you asked for."

As he said that, he did not forget to pull Li Yuyan over, and introduced to Luo Ping:
"Master Jun, this lady is the wife of a salt maker. If you have any questions, you can ask her directly."

Luo Ping nodded, and winked at the guard. The guard immediately found several people to push the salt into the other courtyard, and threw a bag of silver to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper weighed the money bag, bowed to Luo Ping in satisfaction, and left quickly.

Li Yuyan lowered his head, hating himself for being tricked by a small shopkeeper.

Luo Ping bowed to Li Yuyan, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, my lady, my general is here to invite you."

Don't give Li Yuyan a chance to refuse at all!
The general is so much higher than the county magistrate, how can a "village woman" refuse him an order?
　Next time.

　　The man boldly walked up to the girl holding the umbrella, wanting to get a glimpse of her face.

　　However, when he got close to the girl, he only felt that the surrounding air suddenly dropped several degrees, and it was weirdly cold.

　　Some horror movies I have seen in the past keep circulating in my mind.

　　The man was frightened, so he ran home as fast as he could.

　　He had a strange illness that night, and all the reports from the hospital were normal, but he just couldn't wake up.

　　Later, after the family asked the master to show him, the man woke up slowly.

　　When he woke up, the man was terrified. He said that in his dream, there was a white-clothed, bare-footed woman holding a red umbrella who was pestering him and would not let him leave!
