No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

Walking on the deserted dirt road, Li Erlang made sure that Lu Lu didn't send anyone to keep an eye on him before he asked about the situation in the county.

At this time, the sun is still a little fierce, but it is much weaker than at noon. The farmers have finished their rest and are busy in the fields again. Li Erlang plans to go back home, put down the scrolls, and then go to the fields to harvest, and take advantage of the opportunity to walk I took a short break from my busy schedule to chat with Ji Qingyue.

Ji Qingyue thought he was asking Li Sanlang, and comforted him and said: "Sanlang is no longer as nervous as he was before the exam. Judging from his expression and behavior when he came back, he seemed to be coping well!! If Sanlang passed the exam, , will you go to Ganzhou for the next exam?"

After the county exam comes the state exam, and the state exam is definitely more difficult. Many people are stuck on the state exam throughout their lives, unable to pass it, from young to old, or even to death.

"Ah."

"Well..." Ji Qingyue continued to ask while picking cotton: "Will Sanlang go to the state capital to study?"

Li Erlang walked a little faster, not to rush home to paint, but to go to the fields early. "Maybe, it depends on what Father, Mother and Saburo plan."

In the college in the state capital, there are more students than in the county. Nowadays, only more than 12 taels are available. When you go to the state capital, you can have 20 or 30 taels. The amount of students saved for Saburo now is based on what he used to study in the county in previous years. The number is still far from the state capital.

However, if he could get his share of selling garlic earlier, Saburo would be able to make ends meet for the next year.

Ji Qingyue kept silent about himself, so Li Erlang could only ask more proactively: "Yue Lang, what I'm asking is not Sanlang, but you. Are you still used to living in the county?"

"Ask me?" Ji Qingyue smiled stupidly and put the cotton in his hand into a sack tied around his waist. The cotton inside already occupied more than half of the sack. After taking it back, it had to be seeded and dried before it could be stored. "I am now a vegetable seller in the county. Without your help, Li Yu and I would not be able to finish the food."

What a luxury. They couldn't finish the fresh vegetables that many people couldn't buy.

Li Erlang seemed to have some regrets when he heard Ji Qingyue's words, and he was immediately elated. He asked him in detail about his experience of selling vegetables. After hearing the story of the battle, he was even more convinced of Ji Qingyue. He was probably the only one who could sell vegetables like this.

"How will you deliver the dishes to Tai'an House tomorrow?"

If Ji Qingyue is still in the county today, he only needs to leave the city tomorrow morning when waiting for the city gate to open. He can walk five kilometers to the agreed place and meet the man from Tai'an Building to deliver the goods. But now he is in the village, It takes at least six hours to get to the first Shiliting by donkey cart. If we set off when the rooster crows, it will be almost ten o'clock to arrive near Shiliting.

Being a little later than the agreed time is not unacceptable.

He can get out of the car early and take out the food without being suspected. The key is.

Ji Qingyue clapped his hands and came up with a silly idea: "When we get near Shiliting, can't we just ask Li Yu to find a way to throw the painting on the roadside?" Then he could carry the painting back to the county.

When Li Erlang heard this, he frowned and immediately disagreed with his heart. However, he felt that he would definitely not be able to persuade Ji Qingyue, so he quickly helped to make up for it: "You can let Yulang go into the dense forest on the roadside and hide the scroll under the pretense of having an upset stomach." Okay, just wait and see if Yue Lang shows up at the right time." After thinking about this, Li Erlang immediately had the idea of ​​buying a "car". Whether it was a donkey cart or a horse carriage, it was time to raise a horse for transportation, and ox……

When Li Erlang returned home, he hung the scroll back in the study and rushed to work in the fields. Li Yu thought about it and followed him to help.

In this way, no one knew that the legendary Ji Qingyue was in the village.

Before dawn the next day, Li Erlang put Li Yu on a donkey cart in the village. The autumn harvest was coming and no one had time to go to the county. Therefore, there was only Li Yu on the donkey cart. As a result, he had to pay extra to "charter" the cart. Wengcai was willing to go to the county.

Da da da--

There were only the driver and Li Yu on the cart. The donkey pulled the cart faster than usual. Shortly after dawn, the donkey cart drove on the narrow dirt road for a long time. After a while, it was about to turn onto the official road. Li Yu When he saw the fork in the road ahead, he held his stomach and shouted: "Cheman, my stomach hurts, can you stop and let me go to the woods for a while!!"

The old man driving the car looked back and saw Li Yu bent over and holding her belly, as if she was in urgent need of finding a place to solve the problem.

He quickly stopped the donkey: "Don't go deep into the forest, just stay on the edge!!"

Li Yu quickly jumped out of the car, said "Hey, hey", and soon got into the depths of the woods.

The woods are not very dense, and the wild grass is only half a leg high. In late autumn, the grass leaves are gradually turning yellow. The driver sat on the cart and looked into the woods from time to time. After vaguely seeing the head protruding from the edge of the woods, he continued to sit upright with his hands folded.

After a while, Li Yu finally finished solving the problem, stood up with his pants lifted, and walked out of the forest feeling refreshed.

He jumped on the carriage, thanked the driver and asked the driver to continue on his way. He told the driver that he could just take it to the gate of the city, so that the vehicle would not need to go through a round of inspection before entering the city, and would need to be inspected again when it came out.

The driver happily agreed. Now is not the season for carrying passengers, and they may not arrive even if they wait a day, so it is better to turn around and go home early.

On the other side, the painting god placed in the forest unfolded quietly without anyone noticing. Ji Qing listened for a long time, and after feeling that there was no movement outside, he slipped out of the painting and hid behind a tree.

Li Yu hid him in a place with lush grass. As soon as he came out, he squatted on the ground and used the weeds in front to cover his surroundings.

Because the autumn harvest had begun, there were almost no pedestrians walking on the usually bustling dirt road. He observed for a while, and after making sure there was no one around, he walked straight out of the grass.

Not far ahead of this dirt road is the intersection with the official road. A few minutes further from the intersection is the first Shili Pavilion.

But looking at the motorcades coming and going on the official road, Ji Qing became more and more silent.

Shanyuan is located on the trade road and is a must-pass on the westward journey. The official road leading to Chang'an is large and wide, and there are countless motorcades passing by every day. Trading in Shiliting seems to be a mistake.

Ji Qingyue turned around and took a look. Unlike the spacious and luxurious Shiliting Pavilion, there was a simple thatched shed on the other dirt road leading to the village at the fork in the road.

This straw shed is short and small. It seems that it can only be used to shade the sun, not necessarily the rain. I heard that it was built by people who often walked this road together, and the materials were taken from the woods behind it.

The more Ji Qing thought about it, he decided to put the vegetables in the woods behind this remote thatched shed, so he got into the painting, took out baskets of freshly picked vegetables, and went back and forth to the painting dozens of times. Finally, more than two thousand kilograms of vegetables were moved out.

He looked at the more than twenty baskets of vegetables in the forest and was so tired that he was sweating profusely!

Buy a car! You must buy a car!

Since yesterday, he has been preparing for today's delivery. First, he picked the cowpeas, broad beans, eggplants, radishes, and cucumbers that are durable, neatly stacked them into baskets, and moved them to the river. These vegetables do not need to be handled too much, just pick them and put them in the basket. Fresh broad beans need to be cut with the pods in them, and the excess branches should be picked out as much as possible and put into sacks.

Before dawn the next day, Ji Qingyue was already harvesting the remaining leafy vegetables in the field in the dark. In line with the service attitude of cleaning every vegetable, Ji Qingyue picked off the slightly old outer leaves of each Chinese cabbage, washed the soil-covered celery roots with stream water, and tied the leeks into a bundle. Tie them into a bundle and stack them neatly in a rattan basket.

The vegetables in the rattan baskets are covered with cold water drops, and the leaves are green and green.

After taking out all the vegetable baskets, Ji Qingyue rested for a while in the thatched shed. It seemed that the time was almost up, so he hurried to Shiliting Pavilion. Sure enough, he saw a few guys who looked like guys pulling a row of empty carts outside the pavilion. waiting.

Although it is said to be a "pavilion", in fact, this ten-mile pavilion has long exceeded the scale of a "pavilion", and tea sheds and cake stalls have emerged around it to attract business.

When the guys saw Ji Qingyue running towards them waving from a distance, they didn't dare to confirm it at first. After Ji Qingyue took out the deed, the guys looked at his empty back: "Alang, where is our food?"

Ji Qingyue wiped the sweat from his face and pointed to the fork in the road: "I saw the busy traffic on the official road, so I put all the vegetables in the thatched shed on the side of the fork."

Ji Qingyue led the guys and drove the donkey cart to the grass shed. The guys went into the woods and saw the vegetable baskets full of vegetables on the ground. They couldn't help being secretly surprised. This was the first time they had seen such well-packed vegetables.

What I bought here is not vegetables, it is shining "gold"!

There were still water drops on the vegetable leaves, so fresh that it looked like they had just been picked not long ago. There were a total of twenty-five baskets.

"Ji Lang-kun, we also see that you are so sincere, so we kindly remind you that if you are in a hurry next time, you don't have to be so meticulous."

"Yes, yes, I have never seen any vegetable seller clean up the vegetables so cleanly. It seems that they were just picked this morning. If you really don't have time, you only need to shake off the soil. The shopkeeper will not say What."

Ji Qingyue was a little confused: Huh? He remembered that vegetable sellers in the south would help clean the vegetable leaves... Was it different in times or between the north and the south?

"Ah... In this case, I will make it clear to the shopkeeper later. Thank you for reminding me, Lang!"

Ji Qingyue accepted the bill of goods they handed over, and after confirming that they were the guys from Tai'an Building, he followed them to lift the rattan basket onto the cart.

The quality of the rattan baskets was not good enough, so the guys moved them carefully.

Ji Qingyue did not have a scale to weigh these vegetables. He only roughly estimated that the vegetables weighed more than two thousand kilograms in total.

When the loading was completed, these vegetables occupied four entire carts, and each cart was very conspicuously green.

The guys had already responded. They covered the rattan baskets with prepared hay such as wheat straw, which not only made the goods less conspicuous, but also prevented the vegetables from being exposed to the sun directly.

The guys whipped the donkeys' buttocks, and one cart after another headed toward the county seat. Ji Qingyue sat on the cart and followed them back to Shandan.

Ji Qingyue only took the bill of goods, which only proved the identity of the person receiving the goods, but did not weigh the weight. Naturally, there was no settlement. Now he has to follow them into the city to go to Shopkeeper Qin to collect the payment.

They walked for less than half an hour for the ten-mile journey, and it was almost noon when the donkey cart entered the city and walked along the specific cargo road into the backyard of Tai'an House.

Shopkeeper Qin personally brought people over to inspect the goods and found that Ji Qingyue did not exaggerate the quality of the vegetables. On the contrary, he went even further. These vegetables were not only better than the vegetables collected from the surrounding area, but also much better than the vegetables shipped from Jiangnan.

The vegetables in the rattan baskets look very fresh and neatly packed, which makes people satisfied and happy at the first sight.

"Ji Langjun, I know your sincerity. You don't have to be so meticulous next time. We don't have the cumbersome rules here in Jiangnan." Now that shopkeeper Qin has said this, it seems that the rules here are indeed looser, so Ji Qingyue You don’t have to be so careful next time.

Seeing that Ji Qingyue was so attentive, shopkeeper Qin would not find faults to delay the payment. He immediately settled the payment for Ji Qingyue after the weighing and accounting, and gave him a few hundred more coins to go to the county to buy forty or fifty bamboo baskets. , half of the bamboo basket will be used to hold vegetables next time, and the other half of the bamboo basket will be used in turn next time.

The heavy silver ingots and a small bag weighing several kilograms of copper coins in his hand made Ji Qing more and more happy.

The first delivery was a success!

After saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Qin, on the way back, Ji Qingyue made a special trip into Hu Shang Market and bought a lot of spices.

To be honest, spices are indeed expensive. No wonder the ancients said that spices are as valuable as gold.

The more Ji Qing has these spices, the next time he stews the mutton, he will be able to better remove the fishy smell and remove the mutton. If he stews it with the white radish, the radish that has soaked up the soup will be very fragrant and delicious! !

It's a pity that there are no chili peppers in these foreign seasonings, so his fish head with chopped chili peppers is hopeless.

Returning to the alley, he bought another piece of mutton before continuing towards home.

Li Yu had been waiting at the door for a long time, looking at each other, fearing that something unexpected would happen to Ji Qingyue. When he saw Ji Qingyue appearing at the entrance of the alley, it was no surprise that Li Yu's eyes welled up with tears again. God knows that when working with Brother Li yesterday, Li Erlang warned him several times that if something happened to Brother Ji, let alone what would happen to Brother Li, he himself would not forgive himself.

Ji Qingyue didn't know what he was thinking, so he walked in happily carrying the mutton. After looking around, he found that Li Sanlang hadn't come back yet.

Today is the fourth day of the county exam. If I remember correctly, the content of today's exam is policy theory, which is the most important exam item.

The oral test is to memorize articles, the scripture pasting is to fill in the blanks in a closed book, Mo Yi is similar to classical Chinese translation, explaining the topic but not including one's own subjective thoughts, and the policy discussion is to quote the scriptures and add one's own understanding to answer the questions.

This exam has been the focus of the imperial examination since ancient times. In every exam, it accounts for the majority of the points.

If the final result is qualified, the person's policy analysis may not necessarily have a high score, but if the policy analysis score is too low or even unqualified, the final result will definitely be unqualified and he will not be on the list at all!

After entering the door, he quickly asked Li Yu to soak the whole piece of mutton in water to remove the blood, and then simmer it with spices over low heat. Tonight, he would eat mutton stewed with radish.

Then he went out to customize bamboo baskets, each weighing 180 kilograms, so that he could move them and the capacity of the bamboo baskets would not be too small.

There are all kinds of shops in the alleys. As long as you search slowly, you can find the shop you need.

Ji Qingyue found the bamboo craftsman and ordered fifty bamboo baskets. After paying a deposit of 100 yuan in advance, he also asked if there was any bamboo for sale in the shop, but the bamboo craftsman said that he only used dry and large bamboos shipped from the south. If you want live bamboo, you have to go to the south to find it.

What Ji Qingyue is looking for is a variety called Moso bamboo. Bamboo shoots can be used in different seasons. In spring, sweet bamboo shoots are used, which is a good material for sour bamboo shoots. With this kind of bamboo shoots, he can try to make sour bamboo shoots and then snail noodles. Hopefully it can be done too! The bamboo shoots in summer and winter are all in the ground, so you need experience to dig them.

Unfortunately, there is no such bamboo in the northwest, so we can only give up temporarily.

Ji Qingyue remembered that he had given Li Yu pocket money before, but the child didn't seem to buy anything. He only bought two pieces of linen to make toilet and bathroom curtains.

In this case, he turned out of the alley and went to a bookstore and a clothing store to buy enlightenment books and cheap Four Treasures of the Study for his children. Then, he bought new clothes for the child and himself based on his impression of the child's height and weight. As for the rest of the Li family, he chose an indigo material and asked the shop owner to measure the fabric for six men and three boys by pressing their heads. For girls, he chose to trust the shop owner's recommendation and chose a light blue-pink color, and another calmer color for Grandma Li and Aunt Li.

When a batch of cotton is planted next time, everyone will have enough winter clothes.

It was a rare occasion for the shop owner to meet a big customer. He smiled so much that the corners of his mouth reached to his ears, and he agreed to give a large bag of rags as a gift.

Ji Qingyue knew nothing about these sewing techniques, so he could only wait for Li Sanlang to take the exam back with him. After the autumn harvest was completed, he would have time to prepare winter clothes.

When the time comes, make the clothes first, leave the seams and stuff them with cotton, and finally fill them with cotton to fix them. After drying, you can wear them in winter.

There is also a plan to promote cotton, which will be slowly started and implemented as the Li family puts on cotton clothes.
