Chapter 26

Father Lin and Sister Lin came back first.

Taking advantage of not going to the town to sell barbecue today, they went to Jiangjiayao, ordered two larger barbecue stoves with Boss Jiang, and ordered a batch of baking trays according to Lin Yan's request.

There is also a special word "Lin" on the baking tray and grill, which was written by Zhang Moyuan, and it is very stylish at first glance.

As soon as the two entered the door, they saw two children crowded on a small stool drinking water.

Hai Bei takes a sip, and then feeds the hungry sea shell a sip.

Mrs. Lin was a little puzzled, it was just a glass of water, how could the two children be like babies?

"What are you drinking?"

As soon as Hai Bei and Haike saw their father and grandfather, they ran over happily, and the two of them saw clearly what they were holding.

Looking at the red ones, it seems that something has been added to the water.

Hai Bei stuck the cup on Grandpa's arm, both of them were startled.

"icy?"

"What did your uncle do?"

Hai Ke patted his stomach and burped a little. He was full of water.

Mrs. Lin took a sip of Hai Bei's hand, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"So comfortable!"

The hot air all over the body seemed to dissipate after this mouthful.

If you can drink half a cup or even a cup in one breath, how comfortable would it be?

Seeing his expression, Apa Lin immediately stepped up and walked inside, shouting as he walked, "Yan'er."

Lin Yan is drawing blueprints in the room, and he plans to make a batch of fruit tea cups with different fruit designs on them, which are simpler.

Hearing Father Lin's voice, he put down his pen and walked out.

Mrs. Lin said anxiously: "Brother Yan, what's in this cup? I can't wait to taste it."

Lin Yan opened the ice mirror, took out ice cubes from it, and made two cups of fruit tea for Father Lin and Sister Lin.

Father Lin couldn't wait to take a big sip, and the goosebumps almost got up.

The taste of the fruit tea is second to none, the main thing is the ice, it is really refreshing to drink it down, no wonder those rich people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy ice cubes.

After the stimulation of ice cubes, there is the sweet taste of fruit tea, which is very refreshing and thirst-quenching.

After doing business with Lin Yan for so long, Father Lin's mind is full of business now, so he immediately asked, "Yan'er, can this thing be sold?"

Lin Yan nodded, "I've already drawn the blueprint of the fruit tea cup, and I'll show it to Boss Jiang when the time comes."

"it is good."

Dad Lin and Mrs. Lin each drank a cup of iced fruit tea, and then looked at the ice cup full of ice cubes, and suddenly had some expectations for the coming summer.

This was not possible in previous years.

Yanhai County is close to the sea, coupled with the influence of the terrain, it is hot and humid every summer, making people breathless.

Therefore, the people in Yanhai County are very afraid of the summer, and sometimes even if the ice cubes are more expensive, they still have to buy some.

Judging from the two days of sunshine, this year may be hotter than previous years.

When came back just now, heard the big guys discussing this matter at the banyan tree.

Father Lin put down the cup, turned to look at Lin Yan, and found him squatting in the yard picking oysters.

"Yan'er, do you want to eat oysters?"

"Make a cold oyster."

Father Lin was used to hearing unfamiliar words from his mouth, so he walked over to help pick them out.

Lin Yan picked out those small oysters and picked up a big basin full, and then picked out a few fresh crabs.

He took out all the oyster meat and rinsed it five times before he was satisfied.

At this moment, Apa Lin's crabs were also cleaned. He habitually lifted the lid of the pot to put the crabs in to steam, but was stopped by Lin Yan.

"I don't steam it today, I want to try a fresh way to eat it."

Father Lin immediately withdrew his hand and stood beside him curiously watching Lin Yan do it.

Mrs. Lin led Hai Bei and Hai Shell came over. Everyone was looking forward to Lin Yan's fresh way of eating.

This is what the three elder brothers of the Lin family and Zhang Moyuan saw when they came back.

"What's delicious, little brother?"

Brother Linsan rushed over first, followed by Big Brother Lin and Second Brother Lin, and Zhang Moyuan followed behind unhurriedly.

Unlike the three elder brothers, his gaze was only on Lin Yan from the beginning to the end.

Sensing his gaze, Lin Yan raised his head and smiled at him.

The two people's gazes did not attract the attention of the rest of the Lin family, after all most of their attention was on Lin Yan.

"Little brother, do you want to eat oysters today? Why don't you eat pork belly?"

Brother Linsan's second brother Linsan heard Brother Lin talk about pork belly for a day today, and his mouth is drooling all over the place. Now his mind is full of pork belly.

Brother Lin is more restrained than Brother Linsan, but he looks forward to it.

Lin Yan smiled, "Not going out of the stall today, Aunt Wang didn't bring pork belly."

Brother Linsan let out a disappointment.

He wasn't very interested in oysters and crabs, he just wanted to eat meat. Brother Lin was similar, but he didn't show it.

Lin Yan didn't care too much, and continued to handle the oysters in his hand.

The oyster meat was divided into two parts by him, one part was a bit more, which was a big plate, and the other part was only half.

He himself prefers to eat it raw, but considering that the Lin family may not be used to eating it for the first time, he divided it into two portions.

He first put the extra plate into the hot water for a short time, about a minute, and then took it out and put it in cold water.

Take it out of the cold water, squeeze some lemon juice into it, add various seasonings such as onion, garlic, dogwood, mustard, and finally pour a layer of hot oil and mix well.

Brother Lin pointed to the other one that was missing, and asked curiously, "Yan'er, what is this one for?"

When he asked the question, Father Lin had already tasted it with chopsticks, and said in surprise, "It's so tender."

Mrs. Lin also took a sip, and was also amazed at the soft and tender taste of the oysters.

Brother Linsan couldn't help being curious, and each held a chopstick. He thought he had seen the world of seafood mixed with chutney sauce, but they were surprised by the cold oysters.

How can it be so delicious?!

A plate of oysters hadn't been served yet, and the whole family had finished eating them. Aunt Lin stuffed several oysters into Lin Yan's mouth, and then tried to wink at him, signaling him to feed Zhang Moyuan who was beside him.

Lin Yan could only hold back his embarrassment and picked one up and threw it into Zhang Moyuan's mouth.

Brother Linsan was convinced now, he squeezed to Lin Yan's side, and said anxiously: "Little brother, there is still a plate, do you want to change it? There are still a few crabs, do you want to make it together?"

Lin Yan pretended to be angry and glared at him, Brother Linsan smiled.

Seeing his eagerness, Lin Yan suddenly smiled evilly, and Brother Linsan suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Would Lin Yan want to punish him?

The remaining small plate of Lin Yan was eaten raw. He took half of the plate out of the ice cream, poured the oyster meat directly on it, and mixed it with hot and sour sauce and other seasoning ingredients.

If you eat it raw, you don’t need to add too much seasoning, just eat the original flavor of oysters.

He took a bite first, the meat of this small oyster was very tender, it melted immediately in his mouth, and easily slid down his throat, the taste was a bit like the jelly pudding eaten in modern times.

Brother Linsan gulped, and took half a step back nervously, "Little brother, doesn't this stuff smell fishy?"

Lin Yan shook his head, not at all, but very delicious.

But raw ones can’t be eaten too much, so he only made such a small amount, even if he ate it all by himself, it would be fine.

Father Lin and Sister Lin also looked a little scared, not daring to try.

Lin Yan laughed, grabbed Brother Linsan, dug a spoon for him.

The whole family laughed.

Brother Linsan hurriedly asked Zhang Moyuan for help, "Xiao Zhang quickly save the third brother."

Zhang Moyuan smiled, spreading his hands to express his helplessness.

Brother Linsan was quickly swallowed by Lin Yan. At first he was frowning in fear, but his eyes widened as soon as he took a sip.

"what?"

Lin Yan pushed him away, then looked at Zhang Moyuan with a smile.

Zhang Moyuan was much more obedient than Brother Linsan, so he walked over and took a bite from the spoon Lin Yan had just used.

Father Lin hurriedly asked him, "How?"

Zhang Moyuan nodded with a smile, "It's delicious."

Father Lin and the others haven't said anything yet, Lin Yan himself was surprised, "Is it really delicious?"

Can you get used to eating raw for the first time?

Zhang Moyuan nodded with a very sincere expression, "It's really delicious."

If Zhang Moyuan may still have a love filter, then Brother Linsan's response will be much more credible.

He nodded desperately, "It's really fresh."

Lin Yan also did not expect that everyone's acceptance of cold oysters was so high, but it may have something to do with the freshness of these oysters.

Father Lin and Sister Lin have gone to the yard to pick oysters.

There was no need for Lin Yan to do it himself, they had seen it clearly just now, as long as Lin Yan gave some pointers, they could do it themselves.

In the end, there was a cold crab dish left.

This time even Second Brother Lin said, "Little brother, are these enough? Do you want us to pick a few more?"

Lin Yan was still not at ease with them, "Try it later and talk about it later."

He had put the crabs in the ice cream just now, and now he took them out and cleaned them up, cut them in half, cracked the shells on the legs and feet, and mixed them with hot and sour sauce. He also cut some fresh crabs inside.lemon.

The meat of raw crab is transparent and looks crystal clear, which is very attractive.

Lin Yan poured another layer of hot and sour sauce into it.

He ate half of it himself first, it was smooth and tender, and tasted very good.

The second brother Lin was the first to taste it. He just nodded, and then went to get half of it. The others quickly followed, and one and a half of them disappeared in an instant.

Zhang Moyuan was also half stuffed by Lin Yan. He ate it calmly, and there were only two words after eating, "Delicious."

It seems that no matter what Lin Yan does, he finds it delicious.

Although everyone liked it very much, Lin Yan still didn't do much. After all, it was the first time he ate raw food, and he was afraid that everyone's health would not be able to bear it.

After Father Lin and Mrs. Lin finished cooking the oysters, they cooked a few more dishes. The whole family sat together, each holding a cup of iced fruit tea, and had a comfortable dinner.

After dinner, Lin Yan asked about the reclamation of the sea, Brother Lin immediately said excitedly: "Xiao Zhang is really like this."

He gave a thumbs up as he spoke.

Brother Linsan, Lin's second brother, nodded beside him, apparently all of them were subdued by Zhang Moyuan today.

Lin Yan wasn't surprised at all, after all, he had seen Zhang Moyuan's experience in water conservancy for a long time.

Although it was he who proposed reclamation of land from the sea, he only knew a framework. Without Zhang Moyuan, this matter would not have been possible.

Today, the main task is to delineate the scope, where to be fenced with Hanhai Weir, where to be filled, and to delineate the scope.

It is also necessary to take into account that it may cause floods, and control the speed well so that everyone can have fields without excessive reclamation.

While Zhang Moyuan led everyone to delineate the scope, the village head went to Jiahe Village to ask for opinions, and if they agreed, he sent his family's labor to the seaside to help.

Lin Yan originally thought it would be difficult. After all, farming by the sea sounds unbelievable, and the preparatory work will take at least three months.

But the people in Jiahe Village were much more talkative than he expected. After all, Zhang Moyuan initiated this matter, and secondly, everyone was making seafood money with Lin Yan. Once they heard that it was his proposal, they agreed without saying a word.

Except for the Tan family.

The village head ran to the Tan's house several times to no avail, and finally the Tan's house closed its doors and saw no visitors, so the village head had no choice but to forget about it.

The next day, Wang Xiu came to deliver pork belly to Lin Yan early in the morning as before. This time, Lin Yan also ordered tenderloin and plum blossom pork.

Wang Xiu weighed the meat and handed it to Lin Yan. The fishy smell of the meat flooded into his nostrils instantly, and Lin Yan suddenly felt nauseous.

"What's the matter, Brother Yan?"

Seeing his ugly face, Wang Xiu hurriedly asked.

Lin Yan held it down for a long time but still couldn't hold it down. Before he could say anything, he turned around and ran back, ran to the backyard and vomited.

Wang Xiu was terrified, "Brother Yan, what's wrong with you, did you eat your stomach?"

In fact, she felt that Lin Yan's reaction seemed to be yes, but Lin Yan had just got married, so how could it be.

Lin Yan waved his hand, "I ate some raw crabs yesterday, and it probably spoiled."

Wang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, she just said, how could it be so fast.

Zhang Moyuan heard the movement and ran out quickly, "Yan'er?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "It's okay, it might be because of the oysters and crabs yesterday."

Zhang Moyuan frowned slightly and looked at him. Lin Yan's statement was reasonable, but everyone was fine after eating it, only he reacted so strongly.

And it's been a night.

"Let's go to the town to see the doctor first."

"Wait until the stall is closed before going."

In fact, Lin Yan didn't care about it at all, and didn't think about pregnancy.

But Zhang Moyuan thought of it, and he took a special look at Lin Yan's stomach.

Lin Yan didn't pay attention to his gaze, he went to the back room to get the silver and handed it to Wang Xiu, and then put the pork into the ice mirror.

Now this ice mirror is used to hold meat, and he plans to go to Carpenter Tang to buy a few more. In this era, there is no plastic wrap, so they can only be opened separately.

Fortunately, ice mirrors are cheap, and there are plenty of ice at home.

Today Lin Yan added cold oysters to the menu. He still made two kinds, boiled and raw, for customers to choose.

The difference is that there is a raw limit, and each person can only buy one spoonful, which is about two mouthfuls.

Because of the stop for a few days, Lin Yan received a warm welcome as soon as he arrived at Xishou Street.

"Brother Yan, you're back, hurry up, bring me ten oysters, and a bowl of pork belly."

"Brother Yan, they all said that you went home to get married, is that true?"

Lin Yan smiled and nodded, "It's marriage."

Everyone immediately started congratulating him.

A sharp-eyed customer noticed that there was an extra ice mirror in Lin Yan's trolley, and asked in surprise, "Brother Yan also bought this thing?"

Other guests also turned their eyes to the ice mirror, and a guest who recognized it explained: "Isn't this the ice mirror sold by Carpenter Tang? I also bought one for ice."

Boss Ma, who was standing at the door of his shop, couldn't help but said, "This is the blueprint drawn by Brother Yan, and Carpenter Tang followed suit."

"Really?"

Lin Yan smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.

Boss Ma came over in two or three steps, told what happened, and finally said proudly: "My family bought two a long time ago, and the ice in them will not melt in a day and a night."

"Boss Ma, you can't lie to us, you really don't know how to melt?"

When Boss Ma said this, the way everyone looked at the Bing Jian changed immediately.

Although Carpenter Tang did say so when he sold it, no one took it seriously, they only thought that he was deliberately fooling people in order to sell this thing.

But now when they heard that it was Lin Yan's drawing, everyone couldn't help but believe it.

Lin Yan opened the ice mirror and showed them, "These ice cubes were put in at noon yesterday. Actually, I don't know how long they can be stored, but it will definitely be fine for a day and a night."

Everyone bent down and stared at the ice cubes inside, amazed.

"I'll buy two from Carpenter Tang in a while."

"I'll buy three."

Some customers couldn't help reminding them, "You buy two or three. Do you have so many ice cubes? Qiu's ice cellar has been opened a long time ago, but the price is getting higher and higher every day. You can buyup so much?"

Everyone didn't know how Lin Yan's ice cubes came from, and they simply assumed that he bought them from Qiu's ice cellar. They even calculated the price of these ice cubes in their hearts, and couldn't help but tremble.

"Too."

"If you want to fill an ice mirror, I'm afraid you can't do it without twenty taels of silver."

Boss Ma just went to buy it, and he has the right to say, "Twenty taels of silver? That's last year's price. Seeing that this year is much hotter than last year, how could the Qiu family not increase the price? So much..."

Boss Ma compared three numbers.

"How many?"

"Thirty taels? Is the Qiu family crazy... crazy?"

After all, the Qiu family is the tyrant in Yanhai County, monopolizing the ice business, everyone is very careful when talking about them, and they can only scold them in a low voice if they want to scold them.

Boss Ma flipped through Byakugan, "When I went to buy it, people said, don't worry if we don't buy it. It is said that Tai Shiling in the palace said that this year is extremely hot."

"what?"

"Extremely hot? How can you survive these days?"

Lin Yan's expression turned serious, "Boss Ma, is what you said true?"

He also experienced very hot summers in modern times, with over 40 degrees every day. People all over the country can't wait to turn on the air conditioner 24 hours a day, and many areas have suffered power outages because of this.

It is so difficult in modern times, let alone in ancient times without air conditioning?

Boss Ma sighed, "Anyway, that's what the Qiu family said. They also said that the county magistrate has received a message from the State Governor. Anyway, I'd rather believe it or not. I've already spent a hundred taelsgone."

As soon as everyone heard what he said, their faces became ugly. Many people ran away after buying oysters and pork belly in a hurry.

Looking in that direction, it should be the ice cube shop that Qiu's family set up in the town.

Lin Yan was a little preoccupied this day.

He thought of the old people who died of heat because they were reluctant to turn on the air conditioner in modern times. If the weather is really like what Qiu's family said, what will these old people do?

He kept thinking about it, so that he forgot to see the doctor after closing the stall.

Zhang Moyuan calculated the time for him to close the stall, and came back from the beach, but Lin Yan didn't know what to ask.

Zhang Moyuan said helplessly, "Didn't you see the doctor?"

Lin Yan nodded innocently.

"Let's go now."

Lin Yan quickly pulled him back, "It's okay, don't go, I have something to tell you."

Zhang Moyuan stopped immediately, waiting for him to speak.

Lin Yan told him what Boss Ma said today, and then asked, "What should I do? The Qiu family probably has no plans to lower the price."

Zhang Moyuan heard what he meant, "Do you want to take out the ice?"

Lin Yan nodded, "The source of the ice cubes is easy to explain, but the price is not easy to determine."

If it is really hot, Lin Yan would like to provide it for free, or charge only a nominal fee, but this will definitely offend the Qiu family.

After all, he is betting on a big fortune of the Qiu family, so it's no wonder that the Qiu family doesn't work hard with him.

Zhang Moyuan smiled, "You don't have to worry about these, just do what you want to do."

Lin Yan's eyes lit up, "Are you going to deal with the Qiu family?"

Sure enough, he is worthy of being an important minister of the court in the future, and he speaks domineeringly.

"How come? Have you forgotten, we are now busy with the county magistrate to reclaim land from the sea, and the county magistrate will help you."

Lin Yan snorted softly, "How can the county magistrate be so easy to talk to?"

Zhang Moyuan coughed lightly, "Actually, you misunderstood. Our magistrate Ji has always had a clear love and hate. He has long been dissatisfied with the Qiu family's monopoly on the ice business. If he can take this opportunity to eradicate the foundation of the Qiu family, he must be very willing.".”

Lin Yan: "..."

He would have believed it if he hadn't been transmigrated.

In the book, Ji Gaochi was treated miserably by Zhang Moyuan.

The reason why Zhang Moyuan said that was probably because he didn't want him to have any worries.

"I see."

Zhang Moyuan changed his voice, "Can we go to the town to see a doctor now?"

Lin Yan: "..."

It still didn't work out, because the village chief came back soon and took Zhang Moyuan away, and he needed to deal with some minor incidents at the beach.

Recently, a strange thing happened in Yanxin Village.

This strange thing happened mainly in the salt workshop.

Most of the workers in the salt workshop come from several nearby villages, and the hardest and most tiring work is usually done by people from Jiahe Village, because Jiahe Village is the poorest, and everyone looks down on the people in Jiahe Village openly and secretly.

But since the end of last month, people in Jiahe Village have resigned one after another. At first, there were only one or two, and gradually three or four, five or six, and more and more.

This month is even more exaggerated, more than a dozen resigned on the first day.

Everyone in Yanxin Village was stunned.

They generally have some power in the salt workshop, and they control a few people in Jiahe Village in their hands. As a result, when everyone counts it up, they find that there are no people in their hands.

Without workers, why should they let them do the work themselves?

Someone proposed to visit Jiahe Village, and everyone immediately agreed to see what these Jiahe Village people are up to.

They walked along the coastline, and the first thing they saw was the scene of the seaside gradually defending the sea weir in full swing.

The people in Yanxin Village widened their eyes and said in disbelief, "What are they doing, what are they carrying on their shoulders?"

"Can't see clearly, go and have a look."

"Walk."

A few people walked forward a dozen steps, and then carefully hid and watched, but after hiding for a long time, they found that they didn't care about them at all, they were all busy.

The closer they walked, the more surprised they were, because they saw several familiar faces. It turned out that this group of people quit their jobs in the salt workshop and came here.

People from Yanxin Village ran up and surrounded one of them, wondering, "Who are you working for, and how much is it a day?"

The people in Yanxin Village are still very confident. Among the nearby villages, none of them has a better job than the salt workshop in their village.

Although the wages are less, the advantage is stability, and the wind and rain can't blow or blow, so it's hotter in summer.

The people surrounded only glanced at them hastily, and then said as they walked, "This is not someone's job, this is the field of our Jiahe Village."

"what?"

"Tian? What are you talking about in your sleep? Where did we get Tian here?"

"Who is free to joke with you? See if there is no one there. He is the only scholar in our Jiahe Village. He and his husband initiated this matter. The county magistrate agreed. Oh, by the way, don't you know his husband?, his husband is Boss Lin who sells hot and sour sauce on Xishou Street, and he is also from Jiahe Village."

As long as they have been made in the salt workshop, who doesn't know that people in Yanxin Village look down on them?

So when talking about Zhang Moyuan and Lin Yan, this man's tone was full of pride, if it weren't for them, he would still be looked down upon by these people in the salt workshop.

Several people in Yanxin Village glanced at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Of course, Boss Lin and the others know that many people in the village have eaten his barbecue. The oysters and pork belly are made of oysters and pork belly. One bite can last five or six days.

Boss Lin actually belongs to their Jiahe Village?

"I remembered, I heard before that Boss Lin's business is very good, and now everyone in his village is busy going to the sea to catch seafood and sell it to him. It is said that the price Boss Lin gave is very high, and it is cheaper to sell casually.We work a lot."

As soon as he said this, several people showed a look of sudden realization at the same time.

Isn't this right?

No wonder everyone in Jiahe Village quit their jobs these days.

After thinking about it, the people in Yanxin Village were envious. They never thought that they would envy the people in Jiahe Village one day.

"Or, let's go to Boss Lin's house and ask if he accepts anything else."

"Others? All we have is salt."

"Why don't we catch seafood too? To be honest, I don't want to work in the salt workshop for a long time. I almost died of heat last year."

"Forget about the official salt, we have to make private salt for the Qiu family. This will be decapitated."

"Shut up, you dare to say that."

The Qiu family and the county magistrate combined to make smuggled salt. The workers in Jiahe Village didn't know about it. They knew it well, but they didn't dare to say it.

A few people stood at the entrance of Jiahe Village and looked inside for a while, and found that many people were walking in a certain direction with large and small buckets.

"That should be Boss Lin's house, right?"

"Who else can make such a big noise besides him?"

Several people looked at it enviously for a while, and then went back full of disappointment.

"I really envy the people in Jiahe Village."

The author has something to say:

Zai Zai (desperately trying to make sense of existence): This baby wants a rough mirror!

Lin Yan (slap back): You wait a while, it's none of your business for now.

Zai Zai: Whoop whoop.
