Xiaoyao Nongjiazi

Zhong Qingran naturally obeyed Mr. Zhong's words. He also knew that the matter of growing Ganoderma lucidum was of great importance and could not be done at will.At least, he has no intention of selling it for the time being.

Zhong Qingran grows Ganoderma lucidum mainly for his family to enjoy.He didn't believe that there were still people who could recognize it when it was boiled into soup or ground into powder and cut into pieces. In his opinion, the Zhong family didn't have this ability.

Mr. Zhong didn't immediately go to Orion to order Ganoderma lucidum. His current state makes people suspicious.

After breakfast the next day, Mr. Zhong rested for a while, and then went to visit several Orion houses.After a night of digestion, he has returned to normal, and he can treat the Ganoderma lucidum with a normal heart.

There are several hunters in Hewan Village, and they don't have any fields at all. It's rare for them to make a living only by hunting.Most of them plant a few fields, which can provide some rations for their families, but it is obviously impossible to make a living on these, and the bulk of the money comes from hunting.

There are different reasons for each family to become hunters. Some of them don’t know how to farm and can only seek other methods. It just so happens that their hunting skills are still in the past. I also know how to buy fields, but I don’t want to plant them myself, so why can’t I rent them out to others?

Usually, the latter is easier to make a fortune, and the former can get enough food and clothing.However, generally speaking, most of those who dare to be hunters live a better life than the villagers, provided that they do not die in the mountains.

Mr. Zhong went around all the hunters' homes, and told their families if they were not at home.Every family just said a few words, and when he turned back home, it was still early in the daylight.

Jian Mingyu has been allocated a lot of money in the past few months. In order to let him use it with peace of mind and not be suspected of the source of the money, Zhong Qingran hired him to manage Xiaoshan.

Hearing this news, many people in the village were beating their chests and feet, complaining why the children in the family didn't fall into Zhong Qingran's eyes, otherwise, how could such a good thing happen to Jian Mingyu, who was ignored by his parents and uncles?

The villagers are fine, relatives are the source of trouble.The Zhong family has a prosperous population and naturally has many relatives.The larger the base number, the higher the probability of a top product.These relatives who came to the door were not top-notch, they were just a little selfish, and they all wanted to squeeze Jian Mingyu away and replace them with them.

If it was the relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong Zhengren, that would make sense, but what about the relatives of the other aunts?Fortunately, these people were easy to dismiss, Tong Shi directly refused, and it was Zhong Qingran's grandpa's family who were difficult to deal with.

Speaking of this, Zhong Qingran was a little puzzled.He doesn't have a good relationship with his family, he's just better than strangers. Every time we meet, it's just a formality. After saying hello, he doesn't need to be with him. He can do whatever he likes, and no one will care.

It's all like this, and his grandmother actually came to find Ming's in person.Are interests really so important that they can ignore the problem of indifference between each other?

Zhong Qingran asked himself that the money he gave was not much, only two taels a month, which was lower than most managers.

This is the result of his discussion with Mr. Zhong.Jian Mingyu is not yet an adult, so it's not good to give too much, this price is just right.

Mr. Zhong really thought so, but Zhong Qingran had other thoughts.When he does this, others will only think that he is taking care of Jian Mingyu, and they will not think about it, but if the wages paid are ridiculously high, people should wonder if there is something between him and Jian Mingyu that they don't want to be known. relation.

Before confirming the intentions of both parties, Zhong Qingran didn't want to draw other people's attention to this.

"Tweety, Qingran really doesn't think about other people? Why don't you just talk about it?" Ding asked unwillingly with an uneasy expression on his face.

"Mother, it's not like you don't know. I can't decide what to do about Qingran. So many people came forward to intervene, but my mother-in-law refused. If you think about it, even if it is his natal family, it will not be an exception." Mingshi It's also a bit embarrassing, but she's used to it, no matter how embarrassing it is, she won't just do something she can't do for the sake of face.When Qingran was young, she was still able to make decisions, but after hitting a wall once or twice, if Ming still didn't behave well, then she would be really stupid and hopeless.

"If you don't change people, can you add someone?" Ding didn't want to come here in vain.The Zhong family is prosperous, and she has also benefited a lot from the Ming family, but it is not as real as a fixed income of two taels a month.The few sons in the family are still digging food in the field. Being a steward is decent and easy, who would not want it.Although the wages are a bit low, it is also for the post of steward, and in the hearts of farmers, it has become a favorite.

Ming was stunned for a moment, she hadn't thought about this, and said with some hesitation: "Mother, sit down for a while, I'll go ask you."

That's what Ming said, but in fact she didn't have much expectation.It's just such a small hill, is it necessary to hire two stewards?Shen Changgui's family of four is the only one who can take care of them, so should they be divided between the two?

As Ming expected, Zhong Qingran refused without even thinking about it.

After hearing this, Mrs. Ding has nothing to do with it. Any child in Cui'er's family can discuss it, but Zhong Qingran, who can't even control her daughter and son-in-law, can't control her as a grandmother, and Mrs. Tong is still watching Zhong Qingran covetously. .Unable to get the desired result, Ding had no choice but to go back angrily. If the matter was not done, she would not even want to stay at her daughter's house.

Although Zhong Qingran sprinkled a lot of herbal seeds on Xiaoshan, it did not destroy the original vegetation. Xiaoshan is still Xiaoshan and will not become farmland.However, some people are active all year round, and the environment will eventually change.

The most obvious ones are the man-made paths, and the weeds around the fruit trees and medicinal herbs are sparse. The Shen family will weed the grass and water it every once in a while.

Zhong Qingran thinks it's good now, and he doesn't want to turn Xiaoshan into a man-made medicine garden for the time being.The efficacy of wild herbs is higher than that of artificially cultivated ones. His current practice is just in between, and it is not a special disease. Generally speaking, the efficacy of the herbs is basically sufficient.

Of course, this is without counting the passive bonus of lucky luck beads. If this is counted, according to the previous situation, the effect may even be higher than that of wild medicinal materials of the same quality.

On this day, Shen Changgui finished his work and went to patrol the mountain as usual.It didn't matter after this investigation, he found that there were worms growing on a piece of medicinal herb, and he tried to grab it with his hands, but after catching it, it didn't take long for it to be the same again, and the worm's influence area even expanded.He was so anxious that he could only go to Hewan Village to find Zhong Qingran.

After hearing Shen Changgui's description, Zhong Qingran prepared some insecticide potion, thought for a while, and then went back to his room to get the usual item from the mountain—insect repellent powder.For snakes, rats, rats and ants, insect repellent powder is very effective. He thought that the pests visible to the naked eye should also be classified under this category. Take it and try it first, and then spray the potion if it doesn't work.

Zhong Qingran's deceased grandfather was indeed a capable person. Not only did he know how to use Chinese medicine, but he was also good at concocting medicinal materials. The most speechless thing is that he even took care of the work of the medicinal farmers. Disease potions, as long as there are problems related to herbs, there are basically no things he can't understand.

The child Zhong Qingran taught by Grandpa Zhong is much inferior. Apart from the processing of medicinal materials and the planting of herbs, he has personally done some of them.

At present, Zhong Qingran has copied all these precious materials, cut them into books, and stored them in an insect-proof camphorwood box. Not only that, he also put a pack of insect repellent powder inside. If he was mothed, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

Zhong Qingran felt that he was very good. Many things he had never done before could be done as they were with only the knowledge in his memory. From this, it can be seen that he had indeed inherited part of his grandfather's talent.

Recently, Zhong Qingran often went to Xiaoshan for a walk. He didn't feel it once or twice, but once more, he felt that it was a waste of time to walk on his feet, and he had to buy a cow another day.

The Zhong family now has at least twice as many fields as before, and the utilization rate of the ox carts is very high. When they are busy, there is not enough for one ox.The cow is a living thing no matter what, and it cannot be used for missions. It is not worthwhile to tire the cow.

It's okay for Zhong Qingran to use it once in a while, and occupy it twice in three days. Needless to say, he himself will feel embarrassed.

When I think about things in my heart, time flies by.In a flash, Zhong Qingran came to the foot of Xiaoshan.

Under the leadership of Shen Changgui, the two soon reached the ground, and Zhong Qingran let Shen Changgui go down the mountain.

Shen Changgui didn't hesitate at all, he thought that the master wanted to avoid him to do things, this was too common in the Great Zhou Dynasty.Whichever one has a unique skill, you have to cover it up, and there is absolutely no reason to teach others for nothing.

Zhong Qingran didn't think about this, he didn't want people to stay because he was afraid that Shen Changgui would see the shocking vision of the anthelmintic.

This time he took the powerful insect repellent powder, that is, the original version without reducing the dosage.When he came, Zhong Qingran wrapped a layer of oilcloth on the outside of the sachet, which was tightly wrapped, so that the smell of the medicine powder could not be dispersed into the air, so naturally it couldn't work.

The medicine field where the worms grew happened to be the notoginseng that Zhong Qingran valued the most.He squatted down and picked up a leaf to examine it carefully.Due to lack of knowledge, there are many kinds of pests, Zhong Qingran couldn't figure out what kind it was for a while, after inspecting several plants, the result was still the same.If there is no insect repellent powder, which is the nemesis of insects, Zhong Qingran can only sprinkle the public potions with the widest application range but not strong efficacy. increase, but also cost money.You can't treat the medicine he dispensed as zero cost just because you produce and sell it yourself.

Seeing enough, Zhong Qingran didn't bother thinking about it anymore.He removed the greased paper, and suddenly, a special smell wafted around.

Zhong Qingran moved quickly, and first sprinkled around the edge of the notoginseng field.His purpose is not to drive away, but to kill.Xiaoshan is so big, if the worms move to another place, it's not a medicinal herb that still harms him.

After finishing all this, seeing the watering can on the side, Zhong Qingran suddenly had a thought in his heart, how much effort would it take to wipe off the insect repellent powder one by one?It is also very likely that the strain is leaking, and it is not known whether the effect is still there when it is converted into a potion.

As soon as he thought of it, Zhong Qingran melted the insect repellent powder into the watering can and sprayed the plants one by one. It didn't take long before the work was done.

At the moment, the benefits of planting in patches are not apparent.All kinds of herbs are scattered, and the same kind is also planted in several places. For example, the Panax notoginseng in front of me occupies a small area, and it only takes one or two minutes by visual inspection. It is very easy to handle. Zhong Qingran never thought that one day he would It was a novel experience to use insect repellent powder as insecticide, which made him ignore the pungent taste of the medicine.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Zhong Qingran bent down to examine the leaves carefully. Since he didn't wear gloves, he couldn't touch them directly with his hands after spraying the potion, so he had to find some leaves that were easier to see from the front and back.

Judging from the condition of the few leaves he sampled, the insect repellent potion is not bad.In order to obtain more comprehensive data, Zhong Qingran went to find some dead branches nearby, opened the leaves and inspected them carefully.

The result is very gratifying, those bugs are dead.

Throwing away the dead branches, Zhong Qingran stood up, patted the floating soil and broken leaves on his body, and looked at the so much insect repellent powder wasted with some pity.Who didn't think of it at the beginning, the method of turning the insect repellent powder into a potion would always have to pay a price, wouldn't it?

Jian Mingyu's position in charge was actually Zhong Qingran's, who established it for him to have a reputation of spending money aboveboard.He also often comes to Xiaoshan, but he doesn't visit every day.

Because of this, when something happened in Xiaoshan, Shen Changgui always went to Zhong Qingran to solve it.

Zhong Qingran waited for another meeting, and seeing that Sanqi was really fine, he turned around and prepared to leave, but he saw Jian Mingyu going up the mountain.

"Why are you here, Chang Gui said?"

"Well, how's the situation?" Jian Mingyu spoke with a worried tone.

He has also planted crops for several years, some diseases, the timing is just right, just before maturity, the production reduction will not be serious, and some, the diseased crops can only be eradicated to avoid infecting other crops, at least it can be done Some harvests are kept, while others are completely hopeless, and a large number of people will get sick if they get sick. Such a loss is a great blow to the farmers.

"I think it's all right, why don't you check it for me again."

"it is good."

"Don't touch it with your hands." Zhong Qingran handed the dead branch thrown aside to Jian Mingyu.

After walking around, Jian Mingyu got exactly the same result as Zhong Qingran.He had seen the medicinal powder sprinkled on the edge of Panax notoginseng a long time ago, and he knew it was insect repellent powder as soon as he smelled it.

Jian Mingyu glanced at the powder on the ground, and smelled the strong and pungent smell of the Panax notoginseng field. He was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask.

"Let's go, it's hot, go sit in the spring pool." Zhong Qingran tightened the straw hat on his head, feeling the stickiness on his body, and suggested.

"You go first, I'll cover these with soil." Jian Mingyu said, pointing to the powder scattered on the ground.Before he finished speaking, he started to act.

Zhong Qingran looked up, there was no cloud in the sky, obviously it was another sunny day.In recent days, the temperature has finally risen, and people will sweat a little when they move a little.He didn't bring a hoe, and it was useless to stay, so he got up and walked down the mountain: "After you finish your work, go to the spring first, and I'll get something."

When Jian Mingyu raised his head upon hearing the sound, he only saw Zhong Qingran's back, smiled, and continued to work.

After the spring pool was built, Zhong Qingran would go to Xiaoshan from time to time, and he left some non-perishable dried fruit snacks in the room here.It just so happened that I ran into Jian Mingyu today, and he became interested. Sitting is too boring, and chewing something will not be so boring.

Soon after reaching the small courtyard in the mountain, Zhong Qingran put down the potion and watering can, washed his hands and face, and then went out with a pack of things.

Although no bathing hall was dug beside the spring pool, a small pit of one meter square was left. In hot weather, water can be scooped here for washing. Once people leave, part of the water in the pit seeps into the soil, and part of it is evaporated by the scorching sun. , will not let the spring pond appear muddy scene.

It can be said that Jian Mingyu and Zhong Qingran arrived at about the same time. The two met at the fork in the road and walked towards the spring pool side by side.

Zhong Qingran had to accept that Jian Mingyu was quick to do farm work, he just walked back and forth, and didn't stay in the room too much, the speed of the two was almost the same, it took him more time to do it.

By the side of the spring pool, several buckets and gourd ladles are prepared, and they are placed under the eaves of the pavilion, so that they will not be exposed to the sun, and they can be used whenever they want.

There are only six people in Xiaoshan now. Before Zhong Qingran went up the mountain, he told Shen Changgui's family not to enter the mountain spring at this time.In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't tell them.The vicinity of the pool has been fenced off, and the door is locked from the inside, even if someone is greedy for the cold, they cannot break in.

There were no such facilities at first, but later Zhong Qingran kept running up the mountain, and sometimes brought his younger siblings along, so he had someone set up a protective barrier.

Zhong Qingran took advantage of the fact that he had just entered the gazebo, so he quickly fetched water to clean himself up.Right now it was only him and Jian Mingyu, Zhong Qingran didn't shy away from it at all, took off his shirt, rolled his trousers up to his thighs, and quickly took a cold shower.

"Don't stick around, come here and wash together, we're all men, there's nothing you can't look at. After your body cools down, you won't feel comfortable after washing." Zhong Qingran wiped his upper body, and saw that there was no movement around him. Yu still leaned on the railing with his back to him, and urged.

Jian Mingyu half-closed his eyes, and there seemed to be a dark light flashing in his eyes.There are many boys in the village who go to bathe by the river. Of course, they take advantage of the time when it is getting dark, so they won't be almost naked like Zhong Qingran.However, the situation is different now and then. There are only the two of them here, so there is really no need to worry too much.

Jian Mingyu hesitated, because he could feel that Zhong Qingran looked at him in the wrong way occasionally, and he was not a rough-tempered person, so of course he had to avoid it.

Now, Zhong Qingran has already said hello, if he wants to do this again, it seems that he has a ghost in his heart.

Jian Mingyu was wearing work clothes, and he could still see a few patches, which was much better than the previous situation where the patches were patched.

Isn't Jian Mingyu stingy and working? Getting dressed is a waste.Even if he had money on hand, he didn't feel ashamed to wear this attire.

Of course Zhong Qingran didn't have any objection to this, he even looked kindly.Not to mention Mr. and Mrs. Zhong, even his grandfather in modern times also wears old clothes when he works. Of course, the patches are invisible.

After making a decision, Jian Mingyu immediately acted.This was the first time Zhong Qingran saw Jian Mingyu scrubbing his body in front of him. His upper body, which had not seen the sun all year round, had obvious differences in skin tone and face, but it was not an eyesore.

Jian Mingyu is much stronger than when the two met for the first time, and his height has also increased a bit. His abdominal muscles are obviously not in one piece, but he still has the figure of a young man, a little thin.

Zhong Qingran himself is also like this, both of them are at an advanced age, and they are growing rapidly vertically.Really speaking, Zhong Qingran is not as good as Jian Mingyu.He has a good body bred by good food, and Jian Mingyu's body shape, but he has been working all year round, so he is strong and strong, and the two cannot be compared together.

Staring at people all the time is an inappropriate behavior. Zhong Qingran thought it was too troublesome to sneak a glance, so he simply accelerated the speed of cleaning his body. He was the first step, and after the speed became faster, after he finished washing, Jian Mingyu had just finished wiping his upper body. .

Zhong Qingran put on the spare clothes, looking fresh and aboveboard, leaning on the railing to look at him.There is a difference between having nothing to do and having something to do. Even if Jian Mingyu frowns, he can't say anything about him.

Zhong Qingran still had a bit of conscience, and when he had admired enough, he decided to let him go.

Jian Mingyu turned his back to Zhong Qingran, his body tensed up for a moment when he saw the fiery gaze on his back, and then he felt that he was too sensitive to Zhong Qingran's gaze, which is not good, Zhong Qingran never revealed it, who knows if he was thinking too much ?After relaxing, Jian Mingyu regarded Zhong Qingran as nothing, and focused on cleaning his body.

Jian Mingyu's natural movements attracted Zhong Qingran's attention even more.He picked up the dried fruit on the stone table, picked one at random, and ate it comfortably while admiring the scenery, but he didn't know what kind of scenery he was enjoying.

After getting dressed, Jian Mingyu finally escaped from the embarrassing situation just now, and sat down opposite Zhong Qingran very naturally, grabbed a handful of peanuts, peeled one and tasted it, the taste was not bad, not as good as his own, and he ate it continuously A few, and immediately decided to make more next time, and save it for Qingran as snacks.

After eating the one in front of him, Jian Mingyu dusted his hands and said, "I want Mingchen to go to school with your fifth brother, but he's still a little reluctant because I'm afraid I'll be exhausted from doing too many things alone."

As he talked, a faint smile appeared on Jian Mingyu's face. It's good that Mingchen has such thoughts, and he doesn't want to raise a white-eyed wolf.

Hearing about going to school, Zhong Qingran remembered that the Zhong Clan School was also open to other villagers with surnames in Hewan Village, but Shu Xiu almost followed the normal school, only a little cheaper.

"Decided?"

"Yeah. After autumn, I will send it to Mingchen."

"That's good, Qinghan has company, let Mingchen take care of it then."

"Okay, I'll tell him when I get back."

"Your house is not good, when are you going to start a new house?" Zhong Qingran was also helpless, Jian Mingyu had money and couldn't spend it, it was too painful.The matter of mushrooms cannot be said to the outside world, Zhong Qingran racked his brains to come up with the pretense of letting Jian Mingyu be the manager of Xiaoshan.

"No matter what, it must be after autumn."

"That's right, it's better to be cautious when doing a full set of plays."

Even though he could not spend the money he had saved, Jian Mingyu didn't think there was anything wrong with it.If you can't do big things, at least you can improve your daily life.For food, clothes and clothes, he doesn't need to be as careful as before, and he doesn't buy if he can't.He is no longer staring at the prospects in the field all day long, and has a few more jobs to do, but he is more leisurely than before.
