But what can be done? How could a bunch of country folks provoke those rich people! Having suffered a loss, I could only grit my teeth and admit it.

"Hey - there's no way, there are too many powerful people. People want to punish you, but there's nothing you can do. Fortunately, Brother Dacheng knows to give up money to avoid disaster, or else it will be planted this time."

How could Lin Qingwan not understand this truth?

She pouted, but said nothing. This is not a question of giving up money at all, but that the host is too vicious. If you don't want to use the old man in the store, just replace the person directly, and use such a cruel hand? The main purpose of Xia Dacheng's confession was to make it impossible for him to hang out in the business circle in the future, and no one dared to hire another shopkeeper who lost the owner's money.

Lin Qingwan thought deeply, but Yang Tiezhu was worried about the livelihood of Xia Dacheng's family at this time. Fortunately, my daughter-in-law was smart and bought a fresh sausage to sell. Otherwise, Xia Dacheng would not be able to return to his hometown, and his livelihood might even be a problem.

Thinking in his heart, he hugged Lin Qingwan and said, "Daughter-in-law, you are still smart. If you hadn't come up with a fresh sausage and sold it, the aunt's family's livelihood would have been difficult."

Lin Qingwan smiled at Yang Tiezhu, but did not speak, but her heart sank again.

It's really good in front of you, but this preserved meat is something in season. In other words, it can only be sold in the winter season. In her previous life, everyone started doing enemas in the twelfth lunar month. Of course, in some places where the climate is cold, it can be done earlier, but it can only be done one season a year. What about other times?

Originally, Lin Qingwan planned to sell it for a season and save some money to find something else, but judging from the current situation, it was a little embarrassing. It's good to say that their family still has some money in their hands, and they can last for several years without spending money, but the Yang family's family is different.

Xia Dacheng was sick in hospital, and he needed to take medicine and change the wound medicine to see a doctor, which all cost money. There is also a family-sized livelihood. Although the family has a few acres of land, there are not many people in Yang's family who can go to the land. It's true that Xia Dacheng is a man in his prime, but he has never been on the ground in the past ten years, and at first I was afraid that he would not be able to get started.

And she observed Xia Dacheng's expression at noon, it seems that he still wants to continue to study for Xia Hongzhi. Hearing from Mrs. Yang, Hongzhi's child has been doing well with his homework, and this is a lot of money... How much does it cost to provide for a scholar, I know from the Yang family before. …

Of course, Lin Qingwan is not only for the Yang family, but also for themselves.

After seeing what happened to Xia Dacheng, she realized how unequal the society in front of her was. Those who have no money cannot afford to provoke the rich, but the rich are afraid of becoming an official. The county magistrate who ruined the family and the governor who destroyed the family, when his family did not even have much money at the moment, let alone an official, even a small landlord could not afford to offend.

Isn't Xia Dacheng the best example? Just because of the internal strife of rich people, he almost didn't lose his life.

When he was with Yang's in the morning, Xia Dacheng also described some of his experiences in prison.

~~

The author has something to say: Lin Qingwan feels cold when she thinks about it. If a rich businessman wants to punish you, you can only admit that you are unlucky, and you can't resist at all. And now the only thing that can give him a sense of security is to squeeze more money in his hand.

Lin Qingwan couldn't think of this before. One was because she had never seen the dark reality with her own eyes. Since she got married here, she has been wandering around the small Luoxia Village, and there is no such thing as being able to see the market. The second is that she is pregnant at this time, and her thoughts will change. In the past, she and Yang Tiezhu were the only two people. The two of them were full and the whole family was not hungry. But now that I have kids, it's different.

Could it be true to the point of the Yang family, who can only cry helplessly when he sees his son being beaten all over the body? A scumbag who has no power and no money, can only be slaughtered when something happens!

This feeling is really bad!

Lin Qingwan has never had any big ambitions. From her previous life to this life, she has always wanted to live a peaceful and well-off life without much pursuit. But in the world she lives in now, she can't help but have other ideas.

There is no way to be an official, and Yang Tiezhu is not that material, so he can only make more money.

Lin Qingwan lay down and nestled in the solid arm of the man behind her. Yang Tiezhu went out for too long today, maybe he was tired and fell asleep after a while.

However, Lin Qingwan couldn't fall asleep. The words 'be vigilant in peace' appeared in her mind for the first time. It made her think a lot...

☆, Chapter 66, Chapter 67

The new year is getting closer and closer, and there are only ten days left before the new year. It's snowing outside, and it can't resist everyone's good mood for the New Year.

There is such a jingle in Luoxia Village, which tells what the villagers will do from the 23rd year of the twelfth lunar month: "Twenty-three, sacrificing to the cook; twenty-four, cleaning the house; twenty-five, grinding tofu; two Sixteen, cut the meat of the year; twenty-seven, slaughter the chicken; twenty-eight, make the noodles; twenty-nine, steam the steamed buns; stay for one night on the thirtieth night, and twist and twist on the first day of the new year."

Because of the abundance of money in her hand, Lin Qingwan decided that she must have a good first year in the Daxi Dynasty. This is also a strange problem of Lin Qingwan's previous life, and she likes to toss when she is being followed.

She asked Yang Tiegen to go to the pork seller to buy pork in advance, and directly brought back two whole pigs that had been killed. The pig head, pig trotters, ribs and the like were saved for her to eat for the New Year, and the others were filled with preserved meat.

The restaurant in the town closes on the 27th to go home for Chinese New Year, and will not open until the 15th of the first lunar month. Lin Qingwan didn't stop making sausages because other people were closed. She discussed it with Yang's family and the three family members.

Reserve more before the Chinese New Year, because there will not be a lot of pork on the market for a long time after the Chinese New Year.

For this reason, Lin Qingwan asked Yang Tiegen to buy another few hundred kilograms of pork, and asked him to tell the butcher who ordered pork every time, so that after the New Year, the pigs would be delivered to Yang's house.

So these few people have been very busy these days. The Yang family and the three families were busy making fresh preserved meat in advance, and even brought Yang's daughter-in-law, the Zhou family, to fight together. Because Lin Qingwan was pregnant, she didn't let her interfere, so she had to prepare food for the New Year at home.

Lin Qingwan was going to prepare some New Year's goods in advance as she did in her previous life for the New Year, so she marinated some of the spare ribs and made them into bacon ribs. She also marinated a jar of bacon, and asked Yang Tiegen to buy a few big grass carp and a few more. I only came back and marinated the cured fish.

When everything was marinated, she hung them with straw ropes and hung them over the beams.

During this period, Yang Tiezhu didn't know why his daughter-in-law did these strange things, but they all hit her by the side. Wanwan has a lot of tricks, and she knows a lot about food. Yang Tiezhu knows all these things, so he didn't ask her.

At first glance, these are food, and when that time comes, he just needs to eat.

By the time Yang's side had prepared all the preserved meats, it was almost the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. A few people rested for a day and started busy with the New Year's affairs.

Twenty-three is to sacrifice to the kitchen god. In the past, Yang Tiezhu and Yang Tiegen both sacrificed to the kitchen god with the main room. This year, they have separated their families, so they can only sacrifice to the kitchen god by themselves.

Before offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, Lin Qingwan would not be able to make kitchen candy, but the Yao family would. Every year, the Yang family made the cooking sugar for the kitchen god sacrifice.

Early in the morning on the 22nd, Yao shi brought the materials prepared in advance to the second room to make kitchen candy with Lin Qingwan.

To make kitchen candy, you need to prepare 'enzyme' in advance. Lin Qingwan didn't know what 'enzyme' is, so Yao Shi explained it to her. It is to soak a few catties of millet (small huáng rice) millet in water, soak it thoroughly, and then pay attention to moisturizing and keeping warm so that it can sprout. Because the weather was cold outside, Yao shi put the soaked millet in his house. After two days, the sprouted millet grows white buds of about half an inch, and the sprouted millet and the water and millet are all ground. These broken millets with juice and water are the 'enzymes' for cooking sugar.

The 'enzyme' was made in advance by Yao's, and he just explained the production process to Lin Qingwan.

Lin Qingwan seemed to understand, but she still remembered the production process.

While Yao shi was talking to her, he steamed a large pot of rice with glutinous rice. After the glutinous rice is ready, put it aside to dry for a while. If it is not hot to the touch, put the 'enzyme' in, and then start stirring, stirring evenly and setting it aside.

Yao Shi said that cooking candy can only be started after the millet rice has almost turned into a thin sugar juice. Generally speaking, it will take an hour or two.

After eating at noon, Yao shi went over to look at the contents of the pot, and the millet rice in the pot had turned into a thin sugar juice.

She put the pot directly on the stove again, lit the fire, added some honey to it, and let it boil. Yao shi only brought down the pot after it was boiled until it was less than half thick.

After a while, when the sugar in the pot was almost dry enough to not be hot to the hand, Yao started to roll the stove sugar on the chopping board into long strips.

Lin Qingwan watched in amazement from the side. This is completely the simple version of making sugar in ancient times, but she didn't expect that this little rice could also make sugar.

She was about to touch one to try it, but Yao Shi wouldn't let her take it, saying that it would be delicious if it was frozen outside for a night, but it's not delicious now.

Lin Qingwan looked at the two girls beside her, and then at Tang. I thought that children can hold back, and she can hold back too.

After cooking the sugar outside for a night, Lin Qingwan got up early the next morning and brought the cooking sugar in. First of all, touch a piece and taste it yourself. When you bite into it, it is very crisp and sweet.

But to say that it is very delicious is also very interesting. After all, in my previous life, I ate all kinds of candy and chocolate. However, Lin Qingwan had almost never eaten candy since she passed by, so she ate a piece of it and thought it was pretty good.

The two Niuniu liked it very much, and Lin Qingwan gave them a piece. The two girls were reluctant to eat it, so they put it in their pockets after biting them, and took them out of their pockets and bit a bit more after a while.

Lin Qingwan was very sad to see it. She praised the two girls and told them to eat hard, and the second aunt would cook it for you when they didn't eat enough.

After the two little girls thanked the second aunt, they were still reluctant to bite the candy, so Lin Qingwan had no choice but to touch her nose.
