Chapter 25

Lin Yan's barbecue business gradually stabilized, and the supply exceeded demand every day.

Seeing the seafood from the village head's family move to the Lin family in big buckets, and then come out with a pocket full of money after the Lin family has selected it, the rest of Jiahe Village began to envy.

The first one who couldn't sit still was Aunt Wang.

She has always been the most well-informed person in the village, and she lives next door to Aunt Yuan's house, so she knew about Lin Yan's collection of seafood almost immediately.

At first, she didn't take it seriously. After all, Aunt Yuan's main business was renting oxcarts and selling seafood, and the seafood they picked up was barely enough for themselves. They didn't make much money from Lin Yan.

And she didn't believe that Lin Yan's little cart could do a big business.

But three days later, she didn't dare to think so.

Early this morning, Aunt Qin greeted her son, daughter-in-law and Du Yuan to pick seafood in the yard as usual.

In the past, Aunt Qin would always frown, shaking her head and sighing while picking things out. After all, she knew that these hard-earned things could not be sold at a good price.

But it's different now, Aunt Qin's voice is full of joy, "Boss, boss daughter-in-law, you have to watch carefully, don't let the dead stuff get in."

Brother Du responded with a loud voice, he didn't talk much, but he knew what mother was thinking.

Now most people in the village are working in the salt workshop of Yanxin Village. Although ten Wen a day is less, it is still more stable than fishing for seafood.

But once everyone finds out that delivering seafood to Lin Yan makes more money, it's hard to guarantee that they won't follow his family to buy fishing boats, and Lin Yan won't necessarily want their family's.

That's why Aunt Qin insists that when picking seafood, you must choose the freshest ones, and you must not fool around.

Even Douzi knew to leave the biggest one for Uncle Yan.

When the village chief's house was in full swing, the yard door was suddenly pushed open, and Aunt Wang took a tentative look inside.

"I am busy?"

Aunt Qin was concerned, but she didn't show it, she just responded with a smile.

Aunt Wang simply walked in, "Hey, so many are for Brother Yan?"

Seeing it with her own eyes was even more shocking than what she had heard.

"Yeah, Brother Yan has done a good job in business, and he wants a lot."

Aunt Wang turned around a few times, seeing how busy the village chief's family was, she was envious.

She was still silently calculating the price in her heart, and then left with red eyes.

"Well, have you seen it?"

As soon as she came out, she was immediately surrounded by people waiting outside, all staring at her and waiting for her to say something.

Aunt Wang pointed to the yard of the village chief's house and whispered, "I've counted them. There are five barrels of such a big size!"

The people around gasped, "Aunt Wang, you really see clearly, so many?"

Aunt Wang glared at the man, gestured with her palms and said, "These five barrels were picked out by them, and all of them are as big as my palm."

Everyone fell into silence.

I don't know who whispered, "I knew that my family would also buy fishing boats."

Then everyone was more silent.

Soon, everyone dispersed and went home with their own thoughts.

As soon as Mrs. Wang arrived home, her sons and daughters ran out immediately, and said eagerly, "Mother, Lin Yan really took so much seafood from the village chief's house?"

Aunt Wang said enviously what she had just said to the villagers.

Aunt Wang's daughter, Wang Xiu, calculated silently and exclaimed, "The village head's family has earned several hundred coins this morning."

"No, how long will it take to replace this with work?"

Aunt Wang's son works in the salt workshop. He should have gone out, but he didn't want to move immediately after hearing this.

"Father and mother, if I don't do this job, let's go to the sea to catch seafood."

Aunt Wang immediately looked at Uncle Wang, "The head of the family, what do you think should be done?"

Uncle Wang frowned and thought for a long time, and finally made a decision, "The boss is still going to work, and the others will go to the beach with me."

Uncle Wang also works outside on weekdays, but he can't enter the salt workshop, so he can only do odd jobs. On average, he only earns a few pennies a day, so he might as well catch seafood.

A lot of the same ideas as Mrs. Wang's family, and even a little bold to let the son of the family give up the work of the salt workshop.

The beach is especially lively today.

When Lin Yan came back from closing the stall, he saw that the door of his house was crowded with people, no matter adults or children, everyone was carrying a bucket in their hands.

Just by smelling the smell of seafood in the air, one knows what's in these barrels.

Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang squeezed in the front, and greeted Lin Yan warmly when she saw Lin Yan getting off the bullock cart, "Brother Yan is back?"

Lin Yan smiled, "Yeah, why are uncle and aunt here?"

Uncle Wang shoved his wife to make her speak.

Aunt Wang was usually quite aggressive, but today she wanted to make money from Lin Yan, so she seemed a little embarrassed.

"Brother Yan, your uncle and I went to the beach to find something today, why don't you see if you can use it?"

She didn't mention the money directly, but Lin Yan could hear what she meant.

Everyone held their breath and looked at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan glanced down at the bucket in Aunt Wang's hand, and then said under the anticipation of everyone: "It is useful, just like the village head's family, the common ones are five cents a catty, and the rare ones are ten cents a catty. We weigh them together with the shells., don’t want anything that’s dead or not fresh.”

Aunt Wang was very excited, "I know, we know it well."

The others were also very happy, and they all handed their buckets to Lin Yan and the others, for fear that Lin Yan would have enough if it was too late.

Dad Lin and Mrs. Lin had more experience than Lin Yan in these matters, so Lin Yan entrusted them with picking the seafood, and went to the house to put the money away by himself.

When he came out, most of the people outside had already left, and Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin were doing the finishing work in the yard.

They were so busy that they didn't notice that someone outside hadn't left.

"Sister Wang, is there anything else?"

Lin Yan remembered that the woman in front of her was following Aunt Wang just now.

Wang Xiu was very embarrassed. She knew that the question she wanted to ask was a little too tight, but there was nothing she could do.

She married into Wangu Village last year. Her in-laws and another family raised more than a dozen pigs. They were doing well, but this year she gave birth to a child, who was weak and sick from birth, and the family's money was not enough.

"Brother Yan, sister wants to ask you, do you need pork?"

After asking, Wang Xiu lowered her head in shame.

Lin Yan saw her embarrassment, and said softly, "Sister, come in and talk to me."

Wang Xiu nodded, "Hey."

After entering the room, Lin Yan poured her a glass of water, "Sister, what happened to the pork you just mentioned?"

In fact, when Lin Yan turned on the barbecue grill, he thought about adding pork later on. After all, seafood alone was too monotonous.

Seeing that he was interested, Wang Xiu explained the situation at home carefully.

"Brother Yan, if you want, we can lower the price even more."

Lin Yan nodded, "Let's ask for ten catties of five flowers first, and we'll see later."

Afraid of calling it differently, Lin Yan also showed Wang Xiu the location of the pork belly.

Wang Xiu understood at a glance.

After getting Lin Yan's affirmative answer, Wang Xiu didn't even drink any water, and immediately got up and rushed back.

Lin Yan hurriedly stopped her and gave her a deposit of 20 Wen.

The price that Wang Xiu said just now is much cheaper than the market price. If Lin Yan decides with her, the cost will be much lower than expected, so Lin Yan agreed.

First set ten catties to see.

Just now, have also made things clear with Wang Xiu.

Father Lin and Sister Lin also arranged the collected seafood and came into the house.

Lin Yan briefly talked to them about the agreement he had just made with Wang Xiu, and neither of them had any objections. They believed Lin Yan very much now, and they would not object to what Lin Yan said.

The next day Wang Xiu sent over ten catties of pork belly.

After all, it was raised at home, and the quality of the meat is very good. If it is sold outside the market, it costs at least 20 Wen a catty, but the price Wang Xiu gave Lin Yan was 15 Wen a catty.

In the future, Lin Yan can buy more and less.

Lin Yan cut the pork belly into thin slices, so that it is easier to produce oil when roasting, and it will not be greasy to eat.

Then put all kinds of fishy and seasoning ingredients, stir well, and marinate for about half an hour, so that the pork belly can taste.

Then take out the custom-made iron net, and use the tandoor at home to make a simple tandoor to roast pork belly.

The aroma of the whole room woke up the sleeping Hai Bei sea shells in the room.

When the two children came together, they stuck to Lin Yan's body, especially Hai Ke, who wanted to hang on Lin Yan's legs with their short legs.

Lin Yan wrapped a slice of chili with a hot green leafy vegetable and handed it to them.

Hai Bei tore off some of the green leaves that had touched the meat and gave them to the sea shells, and then ate them all in one bite.

He is very good at eating spicy food now, this little bit of spicy taste is nothing to him at all.

Hai Ke only tasted it, and in a panic, he grabbed Lin Yan's clothes and yelled.

"Little Su, ah..."

Lin Yan picked up a small piece, rinsed it in warm water several times, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Hai Ke puffed out his cheeks and babbled, eating deliciously.

He has gained a lot of flesh now, his whole body looks round twice, and his cheeks are also fleshy.

Looking at it is festive.

At first Brother Lin followed Lin Yan's example and ate green leaves wrapped in green leaves, but he became impatient after a few mouthfuls, so he simply dipped pork belly in chili sauce and ate it directly, which was more satisfying.

Dad Lin and Sister Lin are similar, after all, they both lived through hard times, and Lin Yan also controls the oil of the pork belly very well, why do they feel greasy?

Half of the ten catties of pork belly went away overnight.

Brother Lin touched his slightly swollen stomach and sighed, "This day is really comfortable."

Mrs. Lin held the round sea shell in her arms. Although she didn't speak, there was a satisfied smile on the corners of her eyes and brows.

Hai Ke was holding a large piece of scallop meat with his two little paws, and everyone was full after eating the pork belly, but he only ate a few slices, and his little stomach is still not full.

Father Lin hiccupped and said with a smile, "I didn't expect pork to be so delicious."

Lin Yanxiao, in the past, the family was reluctant to add oil, and without these seasonings, the pork seemed to be boiled for nothing, no wonder it was delicious.

Father Lin couldn't stay idle, and after sitting for a while, he got up and went to work by the stove.

Lin Yan didn't need to make the two kinds of sauces that were sold before. Aunt Lin and Mrs. Lin could make them very well, so Lin Yan handed over all the work to them.

Brother Lin looked at it for a while with a smile, and suddenly remembered something, and his tone was full of worry, "I don't know when dad will come back."

He wasn't worried about Father Lin's situation outside, what he was worried about was Father Lin's return.

After all, now that Lin Yan has made so much money, it would be too dangerous for Father Lin to come back.

Father Lin's expression also sank, "It would be fine if he never came back for the rest of his life."

He didn't dare to say this before, after all, how can a wife hope that her husband will never come home?If it spreads out, you can't be scolded to death?

But now he has confidence.

Lin Yan was also worried, but he still smiled lightly, "It's okay, we'll just drive him away when he comes back."

And he wasn't afraid of Father Lin's noise, it didn't matter if the noise was louder, Lin Yan didn't care much about what the villagers thought.

And now the whole village is counting on selling seafood to the Lin family to earn money, even if they have any ideas, they dare not bring them in front of them.

Father Lin nodded, as if cheering himself up, he said: "Yan'er is right, if he comes back to ask for money, we can't give him anything."

These are all earned by brother Yan, so he has to guard them for him.

Brother Lin stood up, straightened his chest and said, "Father, don't be afraid, there is still me, I will do it when the time comes, I am a big man and I am not afraid of what the villagers say."

Hai Bei also stood up, Xiao Douding's face was full of determination, "Father, I will help you."

Brother Lin touched his little head.

Hai Ke didn't know what happened, but he didn't want to be left behind at all, and tried his best to show his presence by holding up the half piece of scallop meat in his hand.

If his cheeks didn't bulge, he should still be quite imposing.

Everyone in the room laughed.

The big problem that made the Lin family suffer so much was solved in this way.

And all of this was because of Lin Yan.

Father Lin looked at Lin Yan, and the smile deepened in his eyes. He knew that something must have happened to Lin Yan that night, but Lin Yan obviously didn't want to talk about it, so he stopped asking.

As long as the family is doing well.

Because of the addition of pork belly, Lin Yan had to bring more things.

He simply handed over the collection of seafood to Aunt Qin and the eldest son of the village head, and asked the whole village to send the seafood they caught to the village head's house, and they would pick the seafood together, and then send the picked ones directly to Xishou Street.Come.

In addition to the money for seafood, give them an extra 100 Wen per month.

After the trolley was rolled out, Mrs. Lin immediately began to prepare the ingredients for marinating the pork belly, while Lin Yan cut the pork belly beside her.

As always, Adie Lam handles the oysters and scallops.

The three of them worked together in a division of labor and had a tacit understanding.

Suddenly a strange laugh came, "Brother Yan, so the famous Boss Lin these days is you."

Lin Yan looked up and found that the man in front of him looked familiar.

He quickly remembered, isn't this the shopkeeper of Mipu?

"Treasurer Li?"

Seeing that he recognized him, Shopkeeper Li smiled even happier, "Have you finished the rice you bought last time?"

Lin Yan smiled, "Not yet, I'll go to your rice shop to buy some after I finish eating."

Shopkeeper Li looked down at the pork belly in his hand, frowned and said, "Didn't you say you sell grilled seafood, why is it pork?"

The customers coming and going in and out of the rice shop in the past few days will chat about Boss Lin on Xishou Street, and his hot and sour sauce and barbecue from time to time, and they all talk with a mouth-watering appearance.

Shopkeeper Li became curious after hearing more about it, what kind of good thing is it?So he rushed to the rice shop to open the door early this morning.

It turned out that when he came, he found out that Boss Lin was the good-looking and impressive Yan Geer.

Originally, I wanted to just buy one to try, but shopkeeper Li changed his mind temporarily and bought a few more.

But looking down, it turned out to be pork.

It's not that shopkeeper Li doesn't like pork, on the contrary, he eats too much and is so tired.

Lin Yan smiled, "This is newly added today. If you don't like it, you can buy oysters and scallops later."

He has such a good-looking face and smiles at him, shopkeeper Li can't say whether to buy or not.

You must have some of them all, and more of them.

"No, give me some, I'll taste how delicious it is."

"Okay, then wait for a while."

After Lin Yan finished cutting the pork belly, Mrs. Lin's ingredients were also prepared. Lin Yan mixed it well with his hands and feet, and put it aside to marinate.

Then he grilled oysters and scallops.

Shopkeeper Li stood by and watched.

I have to say that Lin Yan's quick workmanship really surprised him a bit. don't know if it was preconceived, but he always felt that such a delicate face should be served everywhere.

Looking at such a face, it is acceptable even if the craftsmanship is poor.

Shopkeeper Li had already silently attributed everyone's praise to Lin Yan's face, but his expectations for the food were not so high.

Lin Yan quickly picked up an oyster for him, "This one is for you to try."

Shopkeeper Li took it immediately, and said with a smile, "Boss Lin is refreshed."

After the oysters cooled down a bit, he casually popped them into his mouth twice, and the prepared speech was on his lips, but he froze.

He turned his back suddenly, and without looking at Lin Yan's face, he pawed and tugged twice more.

Well it's still delicious.

So it's not because of Lin Yan's face, but because it's really delicious.

Lin Yan didn't pay much attention to his actions, because today's first wave of guests had already arrived.

After the first plate of oysters and scallops was sold out, Lin Yan cleaned the wire mesh, then brought the pork belly over, and patiently spread them on top of each other.

"Brother Yan, why don't you grill oysters and scallops, I'm still waiting in line."

"Yes, I want to buy twenty."

Lin Yan smiled at them, "This is the newly added pork belly today. It's still the old rule. The first plate is for everyone to taste, no money."

"Brother Yan is generous."

"Then I'll add a portion of pork belly, I can't eat brother Yan's for nothing."

Under the leadership of this guest, several others also expressed that they wanted to add an extra serving of pork belly.

Lin Yan didn't take it seriously, anyway, he had confidence in his craft.

Shopkeeper Li squeezed in desperately, "I came first, let me taste the pork belly first."

He is looking forward to pork belly very much now.

After the pork belly came out of the pan, Lin Yan gave a slice to each of the surrounding guests.

"Is this pork? Can pork be so delicious?!"

"I'm sure it's pork, but I've never tasted such delicious pork."

"Obviously with fat, why is it not greasy at all."

Shopkeeper Li squeezed in for a long time and still couldn't squeeze in. Fortunately, he also got a piece. The thin streaky flowers looked oily, but they were not greasy at all after eating.

Take a bite, the mouth is full of salty and spicy.

Shopkeeper Li almost instantly forgot the taste of pork in his memory.

He just remembered that when the customers who went to the rice shop mentioned Lin Yan, they obviously said that Lin Yan's food was delicious at the beginning, and finally mentioned that Boss Lin is also very good-looking.

With a piece of pork belly, all the taste buds were aroused. He had just had breakfast, but shopkeeper Li felt that he was already hungry.

"I'd like a whole plate of pork belly, and a whole plate of seared oyster and scallops."

The other guests glared at him one after another, the newcomer simply didn't understand the rules, what would you do if you bought so much by yourself and let so many people behind you?

Fortunately, Lin Yan prepared a lot of ingredients, which prevented everyone from quarreling.

Pork belly received a warm welcome as soon as it went on the market, and it was sold out before noon every day.

The late guests can only look enviously at those who bought it.

In fact, it wasn't that Lin Yan was doing hunger marketing on purpose, it was because Wang Xiu didn't have enough pork.

Their pork is slaughtered fresh every day, and Lin Yan only needs the streaky part. In order to supply him, Wang Xiu and the others can only kill a few more pigs every day.

But here comes the problem, the other parts cannot be sold out at all when they are shipped to the market.

Now it seems that summer is coming, and the pork can't be kept after being slaughtered.

So Wang Xiu and the others can only control the amount.

Lin Yan planned to wait for the saltpeter to be brought back and when ice was available, he would thoroughly cook the barbecue, adding more pork, and no longer limited to streaky pork.

After a few days of busy days, Lin Yan received a letter from Zhang Moyuan, which said that the matter of reclamation from the sea had been negotiated with the county magistrate, and the construction could start only after the county magistrate reported it.

Father Lin said anxiously: "Then when will he come back? The day of your marriage is coming soon."

After reading the letter, Lin Yan explained: "Not yet, he said that there is something wrong with the second brother and the third brother, so he went to have a look."

"Then can you come back before getting married?"

"Don't worry, Zhang Moyuan knows it well."

Father Lin nodded, he was still very relieved of Zhang Moyuan, even if he heard that Brother Linsan had a problem, as long as Zhang Moyuan passed by, he would not be worried.

In fact, the problem Brother Linsan encountered was not too big, that is, the shopkeeper of the garment shop suspected that they were not from the same village, and refused to tell them the location of the saltpeter mine.

There was nothing wrong with the plan given by Zhang Moyuan. It's just that Lin's second brother, Brother Linsan, was traveling far away for the first time, and he was inevitably a little nervous in his actions and speech, which aroused the shopkeeper's suspicion.

Fortunately, they didn't make any claims and sent a letter to Zhang Moyuan for help in time.

Zhang Moyuan arrived soon.

He took out a rough jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's expression changed after only one glance, and then everything went very smoothly.

Brother Linsan was shocked.

After coming out of the shop, the two immediately surrounded Zhang Moyuan, and said eagerly: "Xiao Zhang, tell me quickly, what is the mystery of this jade pendant, why did the shopkeeper change his mouth after seeing it?"

"Yeah, this jade pendant doesn't look like it's valuable."

Zhang Moyuan said indifferently: "This is the belongings of the person who discovered the saltpeter mine. The shopkeeper has seen it before, so he will recognize it at a glance."

In fact, this was drawn by Zhang Moyuan based on the memory of his previous life, and he specially asked someone to do it. He just wanted to prepare it, but he didn't expect it to be really used.

Although this jade pendant looks crude, it is a symbol of the childhood friendship between the shopkeeper and the man who made Hei Huo.

The shopkeeper is a person who values affection, otherwise he wouldn't trust that person so easily.

Zhang Moyuan smiled, "Let's go find the saltpeter mine."

"it is good!"

By the time Zhang Moyuan and the others transported more than a dozen bags of saltpeter back to Jiahe Village, it was already the end of the month.

There are only two days left before Lin Yan and Zhang Moyuan get married.

The shop in the town also delivered the family's clothes as agreed, including the wedding clothes of Lin Yan and Zhang Moyuan, as well as the new clothes of the rest of the Lin family.

And the original old house of the Lin family has also laid the foundation, which should have been laid earlier, but before Zhang Moyuan left, he specifically explained that it should be more stable.

Otherwise, a typhoon blows by the sea every now and then, and it's unbearable.

When Zhang Moyuan and the others arrived at the entrance of Jiahe Village, they were warmly received by the big guys.

"Scholar Zhang is back?"

"Where did Lin Er and Lin San go? They seem to have lost a lot of weight."

Zhang Moyuan is fine, he has always been treated like this in Jiahe Village, but Brother Linsan, Lin's second brother, is not used to it.

In the past, they were always avoided by the villagers. When did they see so many enthusiastic smiling faces?

On the way home, both of them blushed.

What happened in the village in the past twenty days?

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they understood.

There is no need for Father Lin and the others to explain, just look at the large buckets of plump seafood raised in the yard, and the various melons, fruits and snacks on the table in the house.

What else could be the reason? Of course, their family is doing well.

Brother Linsan found an opportunity to secretly ask Brother Lin, "Brother, has our father ever returned?"

Brother Lin smiled easily, "No, he's not afraid of him coming back anyway, so many of us are afraid of him alone?"

Brother Linsan thought about it too, what are these big men afraid of.

After telling this to Second Brother Lin, Second Brother Lin immediately nodded, "Let's just kick him out."

"That's the reason."

Brother Linsan found it amazing that they didn't understand such a simple thing until now.

Thinking about it again, felt wrong, not because figured it out, but because life was better and heart was confident, so didn't care about many things.

After Zhang Moyuan came back, he took the initiative to tell Lin Yan about Father Lin.

However, he omitted the previous part, and only said that when he went to the county this time, he saw Father Lin lost all his money in a gambling shop, and was forced to sign a death contract, and he would be locked up in it for the rest of his life.

Lin Yan intuited what Zhang Moyuan had done, but he didn't ask, as if he didn't know.

Anyway, Zhang Moyuan is all for him.

The rest of the Lin family heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the news. Although everyone is not afraid, it is better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Now the next family can finally live a solid life with peace of mind.

The day before getting married.

According to the custom, Zhang Moyuan and Lin Yan cannot meet each other, but they live in Zhang's house now, so there is no way to avoid it.

Later, Apa Lin came up with an idea to let Lin Yan live in his house temporarily, and after getting married, Lin Yan would return to the main house.

It is a process of marriage.

Although the Lin family never deliberately discussed it, everyone tacitly agreed that the marriage should be done in a decent manner.

Lin Yan originally wanted to keep a low profile, but seeing how busy Lin Apa was, and thinking of him back then, he didn't say anything.

Dad Lin was in a mess when he married himself, so he probably wanted to make his brother marry in a better way.

Miraculously, in the past few days, under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, there have been no words that are unfavorable to the Lin family.

Maybe it was because Aunt Wang was at the forefront. If anyone dared to say anything against the Lin family, she would have to yell at them and send them home.

The Tan family really wanted to start a conversation, but Aunt Wang blocked them back by saying, "Is your new brother coming back? When will he marry the Zhang family?"

The three elder brothers of the Lin family simply stopped working and stayed at home to help with the arrangement.

A whole row of red lanterns hung under the eaves outside, all the windows were pasted with festive window grilles, and the door curtains were replaced with red beads, which was extremely beautiful.

Hai Bei and Haike were too busy, Hai Bei moved here and there after the adults, ran around, and could eat an extra bowl when they were tired.

Hai Ke couldn't keep up with his brother's pace, so he had to walk around here and there with a small round red lantern in his arms.

If the elder brother loses his heel, he will look for his father and father, and if it is impossible, there will be grandpa.

When I'm tired from shopping, I go to the house to look for his uncle to act like a baby, and grab some delicious food by the way, and come out to work again when my stomach is full.

Lin Yan was ordered by Father Lin to stay in the house, and he was not allowed to do anything. He was almost bored to death.

It means that Hai Bei and Haike can relieve him when he comes in.

The door opened again, Lin Yan turned his head to look, and no surprise it was Hai Ke again.

Hai Ke was holding something in his claws, "Xiao Su."

Lin Yan stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "What is this?"

Hai Ke put the things in his hands, then stood there and thought about it seriously, his little face turned red before he remembered, "Zhuzhu."

Lin Yan was at a loss.

What Hai Ke gave him was a small white shell, very beautiful, it should be picked out by Zhang Moyuan and given to him.

But what are beads?

Lin Yan thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

He carefully opened the shell, and found that there was actually a round pink pearl hidden inside, which was beautiful and tight.

Even in modern times, such beautiful and round pink pearls are rare, where did Zhang Moyuan get them?

"Did your uncle give it to you?"

Hai Shell nodded, then reached into his pocket with his little hand and found a note, "Give it to Su Dae."

Lin Yan took it with a smile, unfolded it, and found that it was indeed Zhang Moyuan's handwriting, exactly the same as those in the room.

"I got it by accident, I'll play with it for you."

Lin Yan: ...

Just looking at this sentence, thought it was a stone.

Hai Ke patted his stomach, looked at Lin Yan anxiously, "Xiao Su, I'm hungry."

Lin Yan grabbed a handful of pitted dried dates and put them in his hand, "Eat slowly."

Hai Ke nodded obediently, and then ran out. Seeing his eager appearance, he knew that he wanted to share it with his brother.

The family has no shortage of food for a long time, but the habit formed by Hai Bei and Haike has been kept.

Marriage day.

Lin Yan was picked up early in the morning, and after cleaning his face and teeth, he sat in front of the mirror and began to comb his hair.

Father Lin was not familiar with these procedures, so he specially asked Aunt Qin to help.

Under Lin Yan's repeated requests, the usual steps were omitted, and he only needed to comb his hair and put on a wedding dress.

Aunt Qin looked left and right, and smiled like a flower, "I have seen so many brides, but none of them are as good-looking as Brother Youyan."

Father Lin laughed beside him, his eye sockets became moist when he smiled.

Aunt Qin patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Brother Yan will marry from house to house, or marry Scholar Zhang, what are you crying about?"

Father Lin nodded, "You're right, I'm so happy."

Lin Yan got up and hugged Father Lin, and whispered in his ear: "Father, I will be filial to you with Zhang Moyuan when I become a relative."

Father Lin burst into tears.

This is the happiest day in his life.

After all, living under the same roof, many steps were omitted. In the afternoon, Zhang Moyuan went directly into the house and carried Lin Yan to the main hall.

The head of the village presided over the ceremony.

Today, everyone in the Lin family is wearing new clothes, completely new from the inside to the outside, even the two children, Hai Bei and Haike, are brand new.

Except for the Tan family, almost everyone in Jiahe Village came. There were people inside and outside the house, and those who couldn't get in were waiting outside.

Lin Yan didn't wear the red hijab, he and Zhang Moyuan looked at each other and smiled, then they walked to the front holding hands and went to the hall together.

"Bow to heaven and earth!"

"Second obeisance to the high hall!"

Father Lin is the only one in Gaotang, and the tablet of Zhang Moyuan's parents is on the other side.

"Husband and wife salute!"

Zhang Moyuan held Lin Yan's hands, and the two bowed their heads together.

"Courtesy!!!"

After Lin Yan and Zhang Moyuan entered the bridal chamber, the banquet was started on the flowing water table outside.

The big guy spoke auspicious words and had a lively drink, adding some joy to the new couple in the house.

And in the house—

"Today is our second time entering the bridal chamber."

Lin Yan: "..."

With a blushing face, he glared at Zhang Moyuan, who had an unscrupulous face, "The last time doesn't count."

Zhang Moyuan seemed to be aggrieved, "Why doesn't it count?"

Lin Yan didn't want to answer his question, "It doesn't count anyway."

Zhang Moyuan smiled, "Regardless of whether it counted last time or not, today is the bridal chamber."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Lin Yan's chest.

Lin Yan grabbed his wrist and asked doubtfully, "Don't you need to go out to greet guests?"

In the past, when watching TV dramas, didn’t the groom have to go out and drink with the guests, and then go back to the house drunk?

Zhang Moyuan took his hand off, and said as a matter of course: "Why do I leave my wife alone and go out to greet guests?"

Lin Yan: "..."

That makes sense.

Zhang Moyuan stayed in the house with his wife, of course no one dared to say anything about him, instead of saying anything, everyone even praised him, making Zhang Moyuan the number one person in heaven and earth who loves his wife.

Father Lin's smile never disappeared from his face throughout the night.

The next day everyone agreed not to call Lin Yan.

Even passing the main house, you have to stand on your tiptoes and deliberately walk lightly.

Even Hishell knew that my uncle had to sleep today and not make noise.

So Lin Yan fell asleep until noon.

He was very tired, and even wanted to turn over and sleep again, but it was getting late, and if he didn't get up again, Auntie Lin was going to call for someone.

Lin Yan felt sore when he moved. In fact, Zhang Moyuan was very careful yesterday. He was sore because he had been doing it for too long.

Fortunately, when he went out, there was only Hai Bei at home.

"Uncle, are you up?"

"Xiao Su, Qi Nai?"

The sea shell is like a small parrot.

Lin Yan nodded, and asked casually, "Have you eaten yet, how about Grandpa and the others?"

Hai Bei took out the dishes in the pot, and said while busy: "Grandpa and daddy went to the Jiangjiayao in the town, and daddy and uncle, second uncle and third uncle all went to the seaside."

It was only then that Lin Yan remembered that land reclamation had already begun.

The news reported by the county magistrate just came down yesterday, and the people sent today arrived.

He also seems to be in a hurry.

He didn't feel well, and the sea was either sand or stones, and he still couldn't get over it.

It's not that he's afraid of getting uncomfortable, but he's afraid that if someone sees it, he'll be embarrassed.

"Hai Bei, do you know where Uncle put the saltpeter?"

Hai Bei pointed to the woodshed at the back, "Yes, it's inside the woodshed."

Lin Yan nodded, "Okay, then let's make some ice cubes later."

Hai Bei's eyes lit up, "Really, we can really make ice cubes, my father said that ice cubes are precious."

"Yes, uncle will do it for you later."

Hai Bei tried hard to squeeze his little head in, and said anxiously, "Xiao Su, Xiao Su."

Lin Yan touched his face and said with a smile: "There are also sea shells, my uncle will make ice cubes for you to play with later."

Now that the weather is hot, it must be too hot to come back from Jiangjiayao and the seaside, so just make some iced drinks for them to drink.

Lin Yan quickly finished his meal, then simply cleaned up the stove, and led the two little ones to get busy.

He first brought over two wooden basins, one large and one small. There was cold boiled water in the small wooden basins, and then he put water in the big wooden basins.

Hai Bei and Haike squatted beside him without blinking their eyes, as if Lin Yan was some kind of advanced magician.

Lin Yan put the small wooden basin into the big wooden basin, and then added saltpeter into the big wooden basin.

Soon there was a burst of cold air around, and the water in the small wooden basin quickly solidified into ice, and the whole process took only half an hour.

Hai Bei Hi Shell was stunned, his little mouth was opened wide.

Lin Yan took a cleaned small hammer and knocked it a few times, then picked up two pieces of crushed ice and put them in the hands of Hai Bei Haike.

Hai Bei's eyes widened in shock, "Ice, it's really ice!"

Hai Ke didn't know what ice was. He just thought it was fun for the ice cubes to slowly melt into water in his palm. When the ice cubes disappeared, he immediately stretched out his hand again, and Lin Yan gave him another big one.

If people come in and see it, they will die in a hurry, so two children can play with such an expensive thing.

After Lin Yan had played enough with Hai Bei and Haike, he took out the ice in the small tub, and then made three glasses of iced lemonade with lemons and sugar.

He tasted it himself, and then heaved a sigh of relief, this is the taste of summer.

Hai Bei couldn't wait to take a sip, then took a deep breath stimulated by the ice cubes inside, "Uncle, it's delicious!"

Only a little bit of crushed ice was added to Haike's cup, which didn't feel much cool, but Haike still drank happily, "Sweet."

The three uncles and nephews held a cup each, and sat in the shade to rest for a while.

Anyway, being idle is idle, Lin Yan recalled those recipes in his previous life, and made several cups of iced fruit tea with different flavors from the fruits in the kitchen.

Hai Bei and Haike are his tasters, but these two tasters are not qualified, no matter what they taste, there are only two words:

"It's delicious."

And they seemed to be Lin Yan's followers, they were inseparable from each other.

Both of them adored their uncle very much, and in their hearts, his uncle was like an omnipotent god.
