Farming in another world to make a fortune

Yu Zhou asked without answering, "What do you think of He Yunqi?"

"Duan Fang polite," Jin Chuan said this word, thought for a while, and added, "I don't owe anyone any favors."

Yu Zhou smiled and said, "Aren't these two reasons enough to make friends?"

Jin Chuan asked again: "What else?"

"Sure enough, my husband also knows me." Yu Zhou raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "I saw a person who could become healthier and stronger with more exercise, but became weaker because of an improper lifestyle, so Unbearable is also a reason."

Having said that, he paused for a while, pretending to be mysterious: "Of course, these are not the main reasons."

Jin Chuan asked cooperatively: "Then what is the main reason?"

"Of course it's because he's pleasing to the eye," Yu Zhou said. "Besides, on my way to school, I just need a friend who can go with me all the way."

This is also a question he has been worrying about. Under the damned imperial examination system, it is impossible to walk alone on this road, because the first county examination alone requires not only four villagers and one scholar It is recommended to make mutual insurance policies with two other candidates for reference. As long as one person cheats during the exam, the three of them will sit together.

The degree of strictness is almost the same as the imperial examination system of Ming and Qing Dynasties that Yu Zhou has known, but it is a little looser here. The imperial examination system of Ming and Qing Dynasties is a mutual insurance policy for five children. Examination policy question, do not test stereotyped essay.

Otherwise, he might give up on the stereotyped essay.

Jin Chuan knew from the very beginning that Yu Zhou was looking for a scholar who would make friends with him, but he still had doubts, "Looking at Mr. He's conversation and clothes, he should have been taught by him since he was a child, and he hasn't passed the exam yet. Fame?"

"Although I have never learned about it, I guess Brother He's knowledge must be fine," Yu Zhou explained to Shang Jinchuan's puzzled eyes, "But you forgot, just the county exam, you have to take five exams in a row .”

Jin Chuan was just thinking about other things just now, and his mind was a little distracted, but after listening to Yu Zhou's slight dialing, he understood what was going on, "With Mr. He's physical condition today, it is really difficult to take five consecutive exams. "

Yu Zhou doesn't care about He Yunqi's physical condition now, he is more curious about why Jin Chuan didn't think of this just now, it shouldn't be at all with Jin Chuan's carefulness, so he asked: "Did you think about other things just now?" ?”

"Yes," Jin Chuan glanced at Yu Zhou and said, "I was thinking just now, was it because your husband saved me and left me at home because he liked me?"

"No." Yu Zhou said without thinking.

Jin Chuan and Yu Zhou have been married for such a long time. As for why Yu Zhou saved him in the first place, he already has an answer in his heart. Now that he mentions this matter, it is just to confirm his thoughts. He never thought that Yu Zhou would say no directly. .

Such a categorical denial made him stand there in shock, forgetting to walk.

Yu Zhou squeezed the hands they were holding together, and pulled Jin Chuan to continue walking forward, jokingly said: "I let you stay at home, just because of sex!"

Jin Chuan's hanging heart fell to the ground, and he made a gesture to pull his hand back, and whispered: "You...what nonsense."

In exchange, Yu Zhou laughed out loud.

After the two arrived home, they went to the Chen's next door and told Aunt Chen that they were back and that they didn't need to help look after the house.

Sitting under the tree in the yard, Mrs. Chen smiled gently when she saw them coming in, and asked casually, "You guys went out for so long today just to pick these persimmons?"

Yu Zhou replied, "There are other things."

After speaking, he picked a few ripe persimmons from the basket and put them beside Mrs. Chen.

Aunt Chen saw that only the upper layer of persimmons in his back basket was ripe, and the lower layer was still the hard color at first sight, so she said: "There is a persimmon forest in the back mountain, and it is not someone's family. You want to eat it." Just pick it, even if you let the unripe ones ripen at home, they won’t taste as good as those ripened on the tree.”

Yu Zhou said: "We specially picked the unripe ones, and brought them back to make persimmons."

Aunt Chen's eyes lit up, and she sat up slowly, but her eyes fell on Jin Chuan, "Do you know how to make persimmons?"

Jin Chuan and Yu Zhou had discussed this issue when picking tea before, so when Aunt Chen asked this question, Jin Chuan just looked at Yu Zhou calmly, then nodded, "I have seen others do it before, can you It's not clear yet."

His eyes fell on outsiders, and he was asking Yu Zhou if he wanted to say something.

Sure enough, Aunt Chen also understood the same way, and said with a smile: "If it works, I will have the cheek to ask for some to eat."

Yu Zhou answered, "If it's really ready, I'll give you some to taste. And now the persimmons are just beginning to ripen. If our batch is finished, call Chen Feng and go to the mountains to pick them together." Come back, both of them will make more."

What he meant by this was to tell the Chen family how to make persimmons.

Aunt Chen heard it, and quickly said: "How can it be done?"

"It's not a big deal." Yu Zhou said.

For him and Jin Chuan now, apart from studying, tea is the most profitable way for them, not only the skill of frying tea, but also the fact that they are frying tea. If you can hold on to your body, otherwise you must not reveal it.

Others, such as making persimmons and the needlework of Jinchuan embroidery, are not a big deal. They are as close as the Chen family. As long as they are willing to learn, both Yu Zhou and Jinchuan think they can teach them.

Moreover, making dried persimmons does not require much technical content. The two families are next door. As long as the Chen family pays a little attention, it is not difficult to guess how they make them.

Aunt Chen weighed this matter back and forth in her heart for a long time before she said with a smile: "Then I will wait for the good news of your success."

After Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan returned home, they first picked out a few overripe persimmons, and poured the rest of the hard persimmons into a large basin to clean them.

After washing the stained persimmons and drying them with a cotton cloth, the most time-consuming step in making persimmons is to carefully peel off the skins of the persimmons.

It took Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan more than half an hour to peel all the persimmons in the basket.

Then Jin Chuan found a few slender hemp ropes and tied the twigs left over from picking the persimmons with hemp ropes, one every three inches or so, and hung them under the eaves, that is hanging persimmons The original appearance.

The whole piece of yellow and clear is really gratifying.

The peeled persimmon skins were not thrown away, they were put into a dustpan and spread out to dry in the sun, which will be used later when the persimmons are covered with frost.

During a one-day vacation, Yu Zhou not only went to Qingyan Mountain to step on it, but also met a new friend. When he came back in the afternoon, he made a basket of hanging persimmons, which was a lot of gains.

From the next day, I went back to the previous routine and reported to Mr. Wen's house on time every day.

It’s just that after a trip to Qingyan Mountain, Mr. Wen couldn’t help raising his eyebrows to ask Yu Zhou’s poem the next afternoon, “What did you see in Qingyan Mountain yesterday?”

"The scenery of Qingyan Mountain is both beautiful and precipitous. Students going this trip will not only improve their vision, but also their mood." Yu Zhou told Mr. Wen all the things he saw from the bottom of the mountain all the way to the top of the mountain. .

Mr. Wen nodded while listening, with a very satisfied expression.

Even at the end, he said with regret: "Yesterday, Wen Liang should have gone with you."

Yu Zhou: ...

Although yesterday was a spot, but for him, it was also an autumn outing with Jinchuan. If he brought Yu Wenliang's little light bulb with him, it would not be so wonderful.

Although they met He Yunqi when they went down the mountain yesterday and broke the two-person world, it was better than not being a two-person world in the first place.

Thinking of He Yunqi, Yu Zhou asked again: "By the way, sir, have you ever heard of He Yunqi, who is also from our town?"

"The youngest son of the He family on Taoxi Street in the east of the town," Mr. Wen was a little surprised, "How do you know him?"

Yu Zhou said: "When I went to Qingyan Mountain yesterday, I ran into him on the mountain."

Mr. Wen was even more puzzled, "It is rumored that the youngest son of the He family has been smart since he was a child, but he is weak and sickly, and he rarely even leaves the house. How did you meet him there? Could it be that someone used his name——"

Mr. Wen felt that this should not be done by scholars, so he didn't say the latter word.

"Weak and sick, that's him." Yu Zhou said, "He said that he also wants to participate in the climbing meeting this year, so he will try it in advance to see if he can climb Qingyan Mountain."

Mr. Wen nodded and said: "It is rumored that although He Yunqi is weak and cannot take the imperial examination, he is familiar with poetry and books, and has five carts on his stomach. Moreover, the He family has passed the Jinshi and Juren examinations for several generations, and even his uncle has passed the exam. Tanhua, it is also a blessing that you can make friends with him."

Yu Zhou guessed that He Yunqi's family should be in good condition, but he didn't expect it to be a scholarly family.

Seeing his strange expression, Mr. Wen asked, "Is there anything else?"

"There is one last thing," Yu Zhou put away his thoughts and said, "It's related to Wen Liang."

When Mr. Wen heard him mention Yu Wenliang, not only did he look more serious, but he even straightened his back, "Say it."

"Before I heard Lizheng say that you want Wen Liang to pass the fifteenth year before taking the county examination, then you will be a year later than me," Yu Zhou said, "Actually, I think that with Wen Liang's knowledge, he can end the year after the next year." , and even if it doesn’t work, it’s good to get used to the environment in advance.”

Hearing what he said, Mr. Wen breathed a sigh of relief, "Before I wanted him to pass the fifteenth year before taking the county examination, it was because he was young and there was no one around him who could accompany him, so I thought about waiting Let's talk about it when he is more sensible. After you ask me to be your husband, and seeing your rapid progress recently, I'm actually thinking whether to let him take the county examination with you."

Yu Zhou said: "If you participate in the same year as me, you can guarantee each other, and you don't have to worry about anyone cheating and being implicated."

Mr. Wen obviously had the same idea, but after hearing Yu Zhou's straightforward words, he still felt that it was not good, so he drove them out, "What do you think the county exam is, how many people dare to cheat, go, go, go back quickly , I will teach other people how to write later."

From his tone, Yu Zhou heard that there was no suspense in letting Yu Wenliang take the county examination together next year, so he saluted, shrugged and left.

Before September [-]th, there is another festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is the Reunion Festival.

Although Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan are only two people, for them, they have had a home again for many years, so they only started to make preparations in the middle of August.
