Chapter 509: The cannon fodder cousin of the hero of the imperial examination essay (31)

This winter, the greenhouse vegetables in Xujia Village became the favorite of the group.

When Xu Yin returned home for the New Year, she brought back a cart of the first harvest of vegetables, including celery, lettuce, onions, leeks, winter melon, garlic sprouts, peppers, etc.

I couldnt eat all the food in my own house. I heard that the Lin family sent a cart full of New Years gifts to the Xu family during Laba, so I took a few kilograms of each to the Lin family.

After winter, the vegetarian dishes on Lin's dining table are either stored Chinese cabbage, radish, or potatoes. He has long been tired of eating them. Seeing these bright green spring vegetables surprised Mr. Lin even more than seeing the delicacies from the mountains and seas:

Hey! Where did the Xu family get so many fresh vegetables?

Mrs. Lin read the letter that Xu Yin asked the boy to send, and said cheerfully: "I didn't get it from somewhere, Yin Yin found a way to grow it herself."

What? Can you grow spring vegetables in the middle of winter? How do you grow them?

Well, she said it in the letter.

Mrs. Lin handed the letter to the master.

Other than explaining the origin of these dishes, this letter did not mention anything about her daughter's family, so Mrs. Lin didn't mind showing it to the elders.

Mr. Lin looked at it and stroked his beard thoughtfully.

"Madam, I suddenly remembered that I once bought a farm at the foot of the southern foot of the mountain. The location is leeward, which is very suitable for the windless and warm place mentioned by my niece. If we build a greenhouse like the niece mentioned in the letter, our house will be in the future. Cant we also eat spring vegetables in winter?

Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "If this thing is going to be done, you have to thank Yin Yin! She could have just ignored it. It's so cold in the winter and it's polite enough to give us a few fresh dishes for a change.

After all, the Xu Mansion has a lot of fertile farmland. It is impossible not to find a village with a warm leeward wind. They can grow a large number of spring vegetables and sell them when they are ripe. Some officials in Luo City have to plunder the land.

But she didn't do that. It can be seen that this wise niece is a tolerant and generous person.

Over there, the old housekeeper was also talking to Xu Yin about the vast hectares of fertile land in Xu Mansion.

"Girl, if you want to plant this, you can find a village. You can tell me how to do it. I believe the old farmers in the village will know how to plant it, so why bother doing it yourself so hard."

Xu Yin:

She didnt do it herself.

Shopkeeper Xu is going to Nanlu Mountain tomorrow. Is there anything you want him to take with you?

Shopkeeper Xu

Xu Yin felt tired for Comrade Xu Kui when she heard it. She felt like a future generation of CEOs of listed companies who were busy flying all over the world, either signing contracts or on the way to sign contracts.

Without saying a word, Xu Kui was given a salary increase.

Xu Kui was stunned when he received the monthly payment. He said to the accountant:

"Brother Sikong, am I pronouncing you wrong? I, Xu Kui, my monthly payment is thirty taels, not sixty taels! It's already March, not the time for the Chinese New Year. Don't be stupid and still press the doubling rate during the New Year period. Will you be paid monthly?"

Si Kong glanced at him: "Who is so stupid?"

Xu Kui: Is now the time to care about this?

"I said you sent the wrong payment!!" He said sternly, "As a bookkeeper, how can you even send the wrong monthly payment? Fortunately, you met me, Xu Kui. If it were someone else, I would have only had two or two months' payment. I doubled my income by four taels, and I couldn't even tell you how to tell you. When I turned around, the girl did the accounting and discovered the discrepancies. She thought you were making false accounts like the previous accountant... It's over, it's over! Sikong! I advise you not to be stunned and hurry up. Lets get back the extra monthly money we sent out

Sikong couldn't bear it anymore: "I didn't make a mistake. Do you want it?"

Xu Kui:

Dad is right, the accountants words are really unpleasant. No wonder his face is so ugly...

At this time, Zi Yuan also came to collect her and Hong Qian's monthly payment. After listening to it, she couldn't help but be happy: "Shopkeeper Xu, you made a mistake yourself! Mr. Sikong did not make a mistake! The girl gave you a monthly payment increase. !

Huh? Did the girl give me a monthly salary increase? No wonder...

When Xu Kui learned what was going on, he suddenly felt happy: Ouch! Sixty taels! Xu Kui's monthly income has actually increased to sixty taels!

Dad, take it! Ill buy you a drink!

When leaving, Xu Kuihao gave his father twenty taels of pocket money.

The old housekeeper held the silver in his hand and was puzzled: "...What happened? Did you make a fortune? Or did you embezzle the money in the house?"

Xu Kui staggered and looked at his father with resentment and said: "Dad, do you doubt your son so much? The girl has given me the kindness to know and promote me. I, Xu Kui, am greedy and no one will be greedy for the girl. money!"

The old housekeeper laughed and kicked him: "Okay, hurry up and go about your business! Work diligently! Don't let down the girl's expectations of you."

"That is required!"
