Chapter 198 The gap between the millionaires
Wang Jin rubbed his eyes and found that this was not an illusion. He was stunned for a moment.
He didn't understand when Lin Heng killed so many wild boars. The number was a bit too much.
Father Lin, as a polite man, saw Wang Jin in the yard, walked out and said with a smile: "Come in and have a drink and some food."
Wang Jin shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I've eaten."
"Eat a little. There's nothing special. Drinking some wine is fine too!"
Father Lin is an honest farmer. If someone comes to his house while he is having dinner, he will definitely invite them.
Wang Jin has always looked down on others. He used to look down on the Lin family because he thought they were poor. Now that the Lin family is rich, he is jealous. Naturally, he would never go to their house for dinner, and he doesn't have the nerve to do so.
After a lot of tugging and pulling, Wang Jin arrived at the door of the main hall and was stunned when he saw the food on the dining table.
“Roast… roast suckling pig!!”
His eyes widened, a little bit unable to believe it.
Forget about the roast suckling pig, there are so many braised dishes on the table. Even the food during Chinese New Year in his house is not as good as this.
Father Lin laughed and said, "Lin Heng grilled it. Come in and have some."
Wang Jin came back to his senses and asked curiously, "Is your family celebrating something?"
Father Lin shook his head: "No, they just came back from the mountains."
This made Wang Jin even more speechless. How could they eat so deliciously without any celebration?
For the first time, he truly felt the gap between himself and the millionaires.
At this time, Lin Heng came out with a light bulb: "Here, your light bulb."
He was not interested in inviting Wang Jin to dinner. Father Lin was a kind person, but he would not do that. He would not be nice to someone who had offended him.
"Okay, I'll leave now." Wang Jin took the light bulb, turned around and walked out quickly without saying a word.
On the way back, his mind was still on the scene he had just seen at the Lin family. He never expected that Lin Heng had hunted so many prey quietly. He was so envious that he wanted to buy a gun and go up the mountain to try it out.
Wang Jin left, and Lin's father patted Lin Heng on the shoulder and said, "We are from the same village after all. We will see each other every day. There is no need to make it so awkward, lest others say that we are not sociable now that we are rich."
"knew."
Lin Heng answered very perfunctorily. He didn't want to argue with his father, but he wouldn't listen to him either.
Not everyone is like his father. For many people, the kinder you are to them, the more they bully you. When you become tough, they will become cowardly and bully the weak and fear the strong.
And it is meaningless to be nice to someone you don't like. Will such a person be grateful? No, such a person will never change.
“You!”
Father Lin glanced at his son and walked into the house helplessly.
He didn't say much. Every generation has its own ideas.
"Come on, let's continue!"
Returning to the dining table, Lin Heng said something with a smile and continued eating with everyone.
"Come on, let's get another one!"
After drinking two glasses of wine, Lin Heng picked up a rib and started eating. The ribs of this suckling pig were all crispy and easy to chew. They tasted not only fragrant but also very chewy.
There was nothing left of the roast suckling pig. People ate the meat and Xiongba ate the bones.
After having a good meal and a good drink, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Since the advent of electricity, the villagers have been going to bed later and later.
After cleaning up the dishes and telling Xiaoxia a story, it was already nine o'clock.
After adding some firewood to the fireplace, Lin Heng went to bed to rest.
As soon as he got into bed, Xiulan came over to him.
I didn't do anything, just watched him sleep.
Resting like this, both of them felt very safe, it was a completely different feeling from resting alone.
It’s like my heart has a place to rest.
Lin Heng hugged his wife and held her in his arms. After hugging for a while, they changed to a normal sleeping position, with their shoulders against each other and their legs touching, and fell asleep.
This is both warm and comfortable.
When he woke up in the morning, Lin Heng could feel the soft body next to him without opening his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he found that Xiulan was awake and was staring at him in a daze.
Seeing that Lin Heng woke up, she moved her body and snuggled into her arms.
Lin Heng looked at the ceiling for a while, then stayed in bed for a while before getting up with Xiulan.
Grandpa Gao also got up very early and took Lin Heng and the other man to exercise.
After breakfast, Xiulan continued to braise the dishes. Excluding the pig’s head, there were still many pig offal that had not been braised.
After all, Lin Heng and his friends got a lot of pork from hunting.
Lin Heng called his mother over to help her and take care of the baby, while he took Grandpa Gao for a stroll in the village.
After strolling for a while, Lin Heng took him to Hongfeng Mountain to take a look. The ponds here were all frozen, but the overall water level was deeper than before, about 20 to 30 centimeters.
Although the pond had only been disinfected with lime not long ago, there was still a lot of grass growing on the slope of the fish pond.
The vitality of grass is so terrifying, and there will be more by next spring.
But this is not a bad thing for shrimp farming. When the water level rises, the grass can provide shelter or food for the shrimp.
After looking at the pond, Lin Heng took Grandpa Gao to take a look at the cabin on the mountain.
There was still snow in the woods on the top of the mountain. The cabin in the woods was dark brown and the texture of the wood was clearly visible.
“This is a nice, comfortable place.”
Grandpa Gao sat in the yard next to the wooden house and was very satisfied with the environment.
Lin Heng went into the house, burned some charcoal, made a pot of tea, and drank it with Grandpa Gao under the eaves.
It was just past ten o'clock and the sun had not yet risen overhead. It shone through the branches into the woods, looking very fragmented.
It seems that the sunlight looks colorful because of the ice crystals on the trees. Drinking tea in the sun, the forest is silent, with the occasional bird song.
"Except for the inconvenience of living in this mountain, everything else is pretty good." Grandpa Gao sighed after taking a sip of tea.
Lin Heng smiled and nodded: "Yes, the environment is definitely excellent."
Then Grandpa Gao shook his head again: "I'm afraid that if they want to, no one here would be willing to stay here."
In response to this, Lin Heng smiled and shook his head: "That may not be the case. I just like this kind of life of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains."
Grandpa Gao looked at him and smiled: "Then you are also working hard to make money."
In fact, he understood everything because he was from the mountains.
"Have some tea, uncle." Lin Heng smiled and refilled his cup of tea, not wanting to talk about this.
After drinking tea with Grandpa Gao for a while, the two went back.
Before entering the yard, Lin Heng smelled the aroma of braised meat. It was so fragrant that it wafted far away.
"Xiu Lan, is the meat braised?" Lin Heng walked into the room and asked with a smile.
Xiulan nodded: "Of course, it's all braised and here."
She pointed to the meat in two bamboo sieves in the kitchen, which was still steaming.
Lin Heng walked into the kitchen and took a look. The orange-red color of the braised meat was so beautiful.
"Try one." Xiulan tore off a piece of braised chicken and fed it to him.
Lin Heng tasted it and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "This chicken stew has a very strong aroma."
Xiulan grinned and said, "I also braised a few eggs. I'll let you try them at noon."
"good."
Lin Heng nodded, went out and started playing chess with his daughter and Grandpa Gao.
After eating braised chicken for lunch, Grandpa Gao once again praised Xiulan's cooking skills.
After dinner, Grandpa Gao patted Lin Heng on the shoulder and said goodbye, saying that he was going back to town.
"Uncle Gao, why are you in such a hurry? Just play at my house." Lin Heng tried to persuade him to stay.
Grandpa Gao smiled and shook his head: "I am very happy to go hunting in the mountains this time. Your home is also very comfortable, but it is time for me to go home."
Lin Heng tried to persuade him to stay, but Mr. Gao was determined to go back, so he could only say, "Then wait a moment, I'll get a carriage to take you back."
"Okay." Grandpa Gao nodded with a smile.
Lin Heng had prepared the carriage and was about to carry Grandpa Gao's hunting trophies, but was stopped by him.
He waved his hand and said, "Just bring me some braised pork. The pork is all given to you. You don't need it."
"How can this be possible?" Lin Heng shook his head fiercely, but he didn't have such an idea.
Grandpa Gao insisted: "If I say yes, it's okay. Don't argue with me, or I won't rent your house anymore."
Lin Heng smiled and said, "No, even if you don't rent my house anymore, I can't do this. Whoever it belongs to is whoever it belongs to."
"Xiao Lin, you'd better think it over carefully." Grandpa Gao said angrily.
Glancing at Lin Heng, Grandpa Gao softened his tone a little: "Then let me take the tender pork. You keep the rest. I won't be able to chew it if I take it back, so it will be a waste."
"Okay, I'll get it for you."
Lin Heng grinned and agreed immediately.
In the end, Grandpa Gao only took away 50 kilograms of tender pork, and he would not take anything else no matter what was said.
Lin Heng had no choice but to get him some braised meat made by Xiulan and then sent him to town.
"Brother Lin, Uncle Gao!"
When Wang Zhou saw Lin Heng and Grandpa Gao appear, he was so excited that he quickly greeted them.
Lin Heng nodded, looked at him and asked, "Is there anything going on in the store recently?"
Wang Zhou shook his head, looked at the two men and said, “There’s nothing going on in the store, but two people in Zhongshan suits came to see Mr. Gao.
I said you weren't there, and they said they would come back on the 10th."
Grandpa Gao nodded: "I understand, you don't have to worry about this matter."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Lin Heng: "Come down early on the 10th, I have something to talk to you about."
Lin Heng probably knew what was going on and nodded, "Okay."
In fact, he doesn't really care about these things. Even if no one introduces him to other people, he can still accumulate them by using the advantages of his rebirth.
Many powerful people have not yet risen, and some are even in trouble.
As long as he invests some money at the right time, he will have a very strong network of contacts in a few years.
And this is much more reliable than getting to know someone face to face.
So he said that he just admired Mr. Gao and it was not for his connections.
I’m not doing much now because I don’t have any money yet and I’m still accumulating capital.
After sending Grandpa Gao into the house, Lin Heng looked at the records for the recent period.
In winter, apart from selling more animal furs, there are almost no other mountain products.
Lin Heng was not surprised by this. He looked at the shelves and the collected furs, then took Xiongba to exchange for a pair of horseshoes.
After finishing, he returned to the store to play chess with Wang Zhou. He planned to wait until his sister Caiyun got home from school and take her home.
After playing for a while, Wang Zhou saw that Grandpa Gao had gone out. He turned his head and looked at Lin Heng and said shyly, "Um, Brother Lin, I've thought about what you said before."
Lin Heng was stunned for a moment, then he remembered and nodded, "Have you thought about it? Liu Cihua's family is not ordinary."
Wang Zhou nodded. He had already made up his mind and did not hesitate at all: "I'm not afraid. I like her very much."
Lin Heng nodded: "Okay then, just find time to go up and look for her. Once you guys have finished chatting, I'll find someone to propose marriage to you."
He still values honest people like Wang Zhou. Such people are stubborn and will remember you for the rest of their lives if you give them a little help. There is no need to worry about betrayal.
"Thank you Brother Lin!" Wang Zhou nodded heavily, his heart full of gratitude towards Lin Heng.
This former classmate not only gave him a good job, but also helped him find a partner. He felt that his words of gratitude were too light and not serious enough.
"You're welcome." Lin Heng smiled. He felt very good about changing the fate of others.
He was a little curious about what changes would happen in the future now that Wang Zhou had a new wife under his influence.
Seeing Wang Zhou's anxious look, Lin Heng thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll call Liu Cihua down for you in a few days so you can meet her."
Wang Zhou smiled shyly: "I will listen to you, Brother Lin."
Lin Heng chatted with him for a few words, and when the time was almost up, he said something to Grandpa Gao and left.
He drove a horse-drawn carriage to the school to pick up Caiyun after school, and took Liu Ciwen home with him.
Liu Ciwen is his first target for investment connections, and there will be many similar people when he has money.
While walking, Lin Heng asked curiously: "When will you take the exam?"
"There's still a week left. I'm really looking forward to the New Year." Caiyun replied with a smile.
Before, she could only eat more meat and have a new pair of Liberation Shoes during the Chinese New Year.
But this year is different. Before the New Year, she already has two new sets of clothes and new shoes, and can go to school. She is a little tired of eating meat.
Looking at her second brother with his back to her, she knew that all this was because of him.
Lin Heng nodded. This year's Spring Festival is on February 1st of the Gregorian calendar, which is less than a month away.
The first New Year after his rebirth is about to begin, and he is somewhat looking forward to it.
Facing the cold wind, the carriage slowly arrived at Hongfeng Village.
When Lin Heng returned home, he saw his father cooking on the stove in the yard.
A barrel with two open ends is placed on top of the pot. In the center of the barrel is a distillation tank, also called a wine tank. The sky pot is placed on top of the barrel.
When roasting wine, pour the fermented mash into the bottom pot and put cold water into the top pot.
When fire is lit under the bottom pot, alcohol and water vapor will evaporate and turn into liquid when they meet the top pot filled with cold water. Then they will drip along the bottom of the conical top pot into the wine flow in the center.
The liquid that flows out of the wine spout is white wine. After pinching off the head and tail and neutralizing it, it becomes normal drinking wine.
"Dad, are you planning to toast tomorrow?"
Lin Heng looked at his father and asked the question even though he already knew the answer.
"Yes, I will roast the wine tomorrow. The wine in the house is almost fermented." Father Lin nodded.
"Then I'll come and help you then."
Lin Heng looked at him and said that by the end of the year, they would start stocking up.
