Chapter 111 Opening after the New Year
The man's name is Xu Liu, and he is a guy with a very low sense of presence in the village. He is a loner and doesn't like to get close to others, and no one knows why he does this.
When Zhao Tan asked him the reason, he lowered his head, acquiesced in the fact that the silkworm house was burned, and said nothing.
Finally, I learned from his wife that it was because he originally wanted to work at the pig farm to raise pigs, but he arrived too late and there were no vacancies, so the Ma family rejected him.
But in his opinion, Lin Xi was behind the Ma family, so he should look for Lin Xi.
Unfortunately, Lin Xi was busy building the silkworm house and didn't notice anyone coming to see him.
After repeated failures, he decided to burn down the silkworm house.
After hearing this, everyone was speechless. He was clearly in his thirties, but why did he act like a teenager?
When there are problems, instead of communicating, he just sulks and then suddenly causes trouble for others.
Lin Xi was also speechless. The village was so big that there were all kinds of people.
"You burned down my silkworm house. You must either compensate me with sixty taels of silver or do work for me to compensate you." Lin Xi said.
Xu Liu raised his head, still a little unhappy, "There is still land at home."
The implication was that he couldn't help Lin Xi with the work. His wife bumped his arm in disapproval and said to Lin Xi, "There will be someone to do the housework, Boss Lin, don't worry, although he doesn't like to talk, he can do the work."
If I don't work, I will have to pay sixty taels of silver, but my family doesn't have that much money.
Xu Liu had no objection to his wife's words, and he agreed to work for Lin Xi.
The task that Lin Xi gave to Xu Liu was not difficult, which was to plant mulberry trees on the East Mountain.
Even though there are mulberry trees everywhere in the mountains now, when the scale of silkworm breeding expands, the existing mulberry trees will definitely not be enough, so we have to consider it in advance.
Because the previous batch of silkworms all died, Lin Xi had to spend 60 experience points to buy a new batch.
It really hurts to say it, experience points are not easy to earn, but they are spent very quickly.
All in all, 120 experience points were consumed. I took a look at the system panel and now there are only 551 experience points left.
It seems like a lot, but considering that spring is coming soon and Lin Xi has to start preparing seedlings for the new year, this amount of experience doesn't seem enough.
The Lantern Festival arrived amid Lin Xi's confusion, but for both of them, it was just an ordinary festival.
Apart from eating a bowl of Yuanxiao, there was nothing special.
Xiao Yongyan knew that Lin Xi had been busy with the silkworm house recently, and asked curiously, "Are you raising these silkworms to sell the silkworm feces?"
Lin Xi shook her head, "Silk is a good thing. Why should I go to so much trouble just to sell silkworm feces?"
"Other uses?" Xiao Yongyan was also very curious. He had indeed never heard of any other uses.
"Silk can be made into silk quilts, and it can also be made into silk for clothing. It has many uses." Lin Xi said.
But what she said was very unfamiliar to Xiao Yongyan, but he could hear one thing: if Lin Xi could do what she said, making money would be an easy thing.
"Xier, you said that silk is a rare thing in the world, but where did you learn about the production method?" Xiao Yongyan's eyes were full of inquiry.
Lin Xi was stuck for a moment. How should she answer this? She couldn't say that she learned it from the system.
"None of this matters anyway. It's enough for you to know that you can make money from silk," said Lin Xi.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yongyan pulled her into his arms and said, "If the people in the capital knew that my wife is so good at making money, I'm afraid they would try to take you away."
Lin Xi felt that Xiao Yongyan's worries were completely unnecessary. "How is that possible? I'm already married, so naturally I follow wherever I go. What can they do?"
Xiao Yongyan's face was solemn, "Xi'er, that's because you don't know how much money your things make. There is no one in power in the world who doesn't need wealth."
"How could you still be interested in my little money?" Lin Xi felt that Xiao Yongyan was really worrying too much.
"Xi'er, listen to me. Let Feng Miao handle the silk business. You must not show up." Xiao Yongyan buried his head in Lin Xi's neck. "The new emperor has taken the throne, and the treasury is empty. He must be sitting on pins and needles now, trying every way to get money from everywhere."
This was the first time that Xiao Yongyan took the initiative to tell Lin Xi about what happened in the court. After hearing it, Lin Xi found it difficult to accept at first.
Xiao Yongyan was joking that such a huge imperial court had an empty treasury.
But she also knew that Xiao Yongyan was not the kind of person who would joke about such things, and she was afraid that he had already learned something from his father.
"You mean, I shouldn't be involved in these big deals in the future?" Lin Xi asked.
Xiao Yongyan nodded, "Don't think that the court must have money. In the past, in order to seize power, a lot of money in the national treasury was misappropriated. Your business is obviously very profitable, so you must not reveal any clues."
It's just the mysticism route, she understands.
After Xiao Yongyan's reminder, Lin Xi decided to secretly expand his business territory further. At the same time, he would honestly run his small shop.
After the Lantern Festival, everything returned to the way it was before the New Year, and Lin Ji reopened.
In line with the principle of keeping a low profile, Lin Xi just set off a few firecrackers as usual and did nothing else.
Dai Jin'er looked at the crowds of people in front of the store and looked at Lin Xi, "Why don't we have some fun?"
Lin Xi shook her head. She just wanted to do business quietly now.
The word-of-mouth effect accumulated by Lin Ji gradually emerged. Although there was not much publicity, many people still came to buy bacon.
More than twenty strips of bacon were sold in one morning, and business was better than before the New Year.
However, Lin Xi knew very well that these good things were only short-lived and would soon return to normal.
While she was in a daze, Tang Xuyang suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xi, giving her a fright.
"Lin Xi, I'm back!" Tang Xuyang seemed extremely excited and walked around to Lin Xi. "You know what the old man said? He said that my son has finally become a decent person!"
During the Chinese New Year this year, Tang Xuyang was praised by his father, which was quite rare.
This guy didn't have time to come to Lin Xi to show off.
"What tasks can you assign to me next? I have more people under my command now than before!" Tang Xuyang said excitedly.
Seeing Tang Xuyang so excited, Lin Xi suddenly wanted to persuade him to give up.
I don't think I should drag innocent people into this. After all, this is a very risky matter, and some tasks are better left to others.
Seeing that Lin Xi didn't speak, Tang Xuyang was a little surprised, "Why don't you speak? Don't you want to let others do the job?"
The more Tang Xuyang thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He jumped in front of Lin Xi and said, "That won't do. You are my client. You can't give the job to someone else."
Lin Xi half-jokingly asked, "What if your life is in danger?"
Tang Xuyang was stunned, and his momentum plummeted instantly, "Is it so dangerous?"
