The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 219 Cause and Effect

Lin Xiazhi thought for a while: "These are easy to handle. I have two ways. One is to hire villagers to kill pigs, cut meat, enema, and we will find a way to dispose of pig offal and pig blood. The other is when we collect pigs Just collect the cut pork and pork ribs, and the price of the pork will be raised, and the pigs and pig blood will be handled by the villagers themselves, and they can be sold to people in nearby villages."

"We just have to control the recipes for sausages and bacon ourselves. The recipes can't be leaked out. There are no other secrets."

He had thought about this on the way here. The business of sausage and bacon is not available all year round, only in winter. It is impossible for the Lin family to buy people from outside to do this in order to keep the secret of sausage and bacon.

Besides, sausage and bacon are not complicated to make. Those who have eaten it can easily guess how to make sausage and bacon. It is useless to keep it secret. It is better to leave the matter to the villagers of Linjia Village and spend some money to let them do it for them.

Li Xiu and Yang Yusheng didn't expect Lin Xiazhi's method. They were worried that the villagers would reveal the secret of sausage and bacon.In addition, how can Lin Xiazhi sell hundreds of pigs into the water, and the villagers are not easy to handle.

In order to dispel their doubts, Lin Xiazhi explained the two methods carefully and analyzed the pros and cons.

The first way is to directly collect live pigs from the villagers, which is more economical, but it is more troublesome for the family members. Whether it is collecting pigs, slaughtering pigs, cutting meat, seasoning, and filling meat, they have to keep an eye on them at all times.

As for the extra pig offal and leftovers that can’t be used to make sausages and bacon, the pig’s blood is directly given to the villagers who come to work, and the rest can’t be sold for much money. He is going to marinate them directly, and half of them will be given as gifts for the fragrance. , customers who spend [-] Wen at one time will get half a catty, guests who spend [-] Wen will get one catty, and so on.The remaining half will be given to the officers guarding the city in Jiangning County. They have to stand guard outside in the cold wind every day in the winter. I think they will not refuse the delicious braised pork.

The second method is more worry-free. Let the villagers directly send the processed meat to the Lin family, and the money will be more. The Lin family only uses seasoning and meat filling, and those pig offal, pig blood, and sausages are not used. For the leftovers, they can sell them to people from other villages, or they can sell them to Lin Xiazhi after processing.

After listening to Lin Xiazhi's analysis, Li Xiu and Yang Yusheng discussed for a while.

This was the first year of raising pigs, and Lin Tiezhu was already in this situation. Yang Yusheng was worried that if they didn't pay close attention, some sneaky villagers would shoddy and replace pork with bean dregs with ordinary pork.

Yang Yusheng's worry was not unreasonable. Before the pig was killed, he could tell whether it was raised from bean dregs, but after it was cut into pork pieces, he would not be able to tell. When the time came, the customers who bought the Lin family's sausage and bacon tasted bad, but ruined their reputation.

Lin Xiazhi was reminded by Yang Yusheng, and also thought of this possibility, and finally everyone decided to use the first method.

After deciding how to deal with it, Yang Yusheng took out a list of pigs raised by each household, and arranged which pigs to kill every day.

Li Xiu was thinking about who to hire to do the work of cutting the meat, and how many people would be needed in total.

People in the village raise more than 300 pigs, and there are [-] pigs raised by Li Mao for the Lin family. More than a dozen pigs have to be killed every day to kill all the pigs before the Chinese New Year and make sausage and bacon.

It is impossible to kill pigs and cut meat at Lin's house. We can only find an open space in the village, and there must be well water. Lin Xiazhi plans to go to Lizheng's house after lunch, and discuss with Lizheng to borrow a piece of public land in the village.

After lunch, Li Xiu went door to door to find the husband he was going to invite to help, while Lin Xiazhi looked for Shang Lizheng with gifts.

At this time, Lizheng was not at home, but was in the ancestral hall with most people in the village, dealing with Lin Tieniu's affairs.

In the morning, Lin Tieniu sold tofu and went back to the village. Before he got home, Li Zheng took him outside the ancestral hall. He was in a panic all the way, his lips were pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat in winter.

Li was walking with his head buried in the front, and he couldn't bear to see Lin Tieniu like this when he arrived at the ancestral hall.

You can't let Lin Tieniu go because of a momentary soft-heartedness, so Li Zheng asked him with a straight face: "Lin Tieniu, do you know why I brought you to the ancestral hall?"

"Master, Tieniu knows." After speaking, Lin Tieniu knelt on the ground with a thud.

Outside the ancestral hall, a group of villagers who followed looked at Lin Tieniu kneeling outside the door of the ancestral hall of Lin Family Village, confused.

"What's the matter, why did you kneel down in one fell swoop."

"Do you know what happened?"

"This Lin Tieniu has always been honest, what can he do?"

"Look at Lizheng's face, it's so black that it's almost dripping ink."

"Shh, keep your voice down, you can't hear what they said clearly."

Lin Tieniu knew that he couldn’t hide it when the Lin family came home to count the weight of the pigs. Some time ago, he was terrified all day long, unable to eat and sleep well. Now he is kneeling outside the ancestral hall, crying bitterly with regret in the face of the upcoming trial Runny nose.

"Tell me, did you eat the heart of a bear or the gall of a leopard, and dared to secretly replace the pig raised with bean dregs with an outside pig? Are you worthy of the help the Lin family has given you?" Li Zheng watched him cry sincerely. The anger brewing in my heart dissipated a lot, and the words I spoke were much gentler.

Hearing Li Zheng's words, Lin Tieniu felt even more uncomfortable: "I'm sorry for the Lin family, I'm sorry for brother Huzi, I'm sorry for brother."

Li was walking around Lin Tieniu's house, and saw two boxes of bean dregs in Lin Tieniu's room for several days.

Lin Tieniu honestly confessed that the bean dregs were because the pig he was raising now was too small to finish the amount given by the bean farm each time, so he could only save up the rest, and then secretly carried it to other villages when the amount increased. Dump.

He secretly changed the pigs last month. At that time, the two pigs weighed more than 340 kilograms because of his careful care. The person who changed the pigs gave him two pigs weighing more than 200 kilograms. The Lin family still has a month to accept the pigs. This month, the two pigs should be fattened up quickly, and the Lin family won't be able to tell by then.

Unexpectedly, these two pigs didn't grow up eating bean dregs before, and they only ate bean dregs when they weighed more than 200 catties.

After figuring out what happened, the villagers scolded Lin Tieniu outside one after another, saying that he was ungrateful, that he had an honest face, but his heart was so dark, and that he was a disgrace to the Lin family village.

Lin Tieniu was so distressed by everyone's words that he wished to bump his head to death at the gate of the ancestral hall, but thinking of his family's aunt and son, he endured it again. They couldn't live without his care.

What happened later made Lin Tieniu even more sad, his old grandmother was found.

The person who came to find the old lady had good intentions, because the villager saw that Li was taking Lin Tieniu away, and thought that he had something to do with their family, so he brought the old lady here, but he didn't expect that the old lady was outside Hearing what everyone scolded Lin Tieniu, he stumbled and ran in, and beat Lin Tieniu up and down.

Lin Tieniu endured the beating and scolding from his own aunt, the old aunt's eyes were originally bad because of crying, but today because of Lin Tieniu crying, his blood was congested.

Li Zheng couldn't stand it anymore, and came up to pull Lao Ah and Lin Tieniu away. At this time, Lao Ah knelt in front of Li Zheng and begged Li Zheng to drive his son out of the village. A native of the Lin Family Village.

Grandma's request startled Lizheng and the villagers. Unexpectedly, Grandma would make such a request. The villagers sympathized with what happened to them and began to plead with Lizheng again.

This matter is going to be difficult all of a sudden. If Lin Tieniu leaked the secret of Doufang as before, Lizheng would definitely drive them out of Lin Family Village, but Lin Tieniu's mistake was not that serious. If he left the village, What about Lao Ah and Lin Tieniu's son with a broken leg?

When Lizheng was in trouble, Lin Xiazhi came over. He stood outside and listened to the general situation, and it turned out to be similar to what he guessed.

"Uncle Tieniu, why are you willing to give them your pig?" Lin Xiazhi stood up and asked Lin Tieniu.

"Because I need money, the pig buyer said my baby's leg can be healed. As long as I sell the pig to him, he will give me a lot of money. He also said that as long as he is given to my pig to raise it for a month, The weight will definitely increase, and people will not find that I have changed the pig, and I have money to heal the baby's leg." Lin Tieniu cried and wiped his tears.

Lin Tieniu is also a poor man. His child needs money for medical treatment and was deceived by others.

"Tie Niu, the flesh on your baby's legs doesn't grow, it's already turned into dead skin, and you still believe the nonsense of outsiders, how can such a thing be cured." Li Zheng sighed.

Lin Tieniu cried bitterly, and the old lady stopped beating him, and cried while holding him.

"Master, I don't think it's necessary to drive Uncle Tieniu out of the village. He was deceived by outsiders for a while and did something wrong. On behalf of the Lin family, I am willing to give him a chance. But since he made a mistake, he still has to be punished. In the future Uncle Tieniu’s family can’t continue raising pigs and sheep, and they can’t buy tofu wholesale from Lin’s family for the time being.” What Lin Xiazhi said surprised the villagers, and he forgave Lin Tieniu so easily.

Li Zheng looked at the villagers and said sincerely: "The incident this time must be the same as that of Doufang. It was provoked by outsiders. The people in our village must be united. If there is any difficulty, tell the village. Now every time the ancestral hall in the village Every workshop will hand over some members to the ancestral hall. I have a proposal, if someone needs money urgently, after the village meeting votes, they can temporarily borrow the money from the ancestral hall and return it to the ancestral hall within the specified time limit, what do you think?"

"Our village needs to be united. This incident with Tieniu is the last time. We can't let outsiders take advantage of it."

"Lizheng's proposal is good. In the future, everyone will not have to go to the doctor in a hurry when they need money urgently."

"More than half of the people in the village agree to borrow money from the ancestral hall, and they can be borrowed."

"Well, I agree too."
