Across the Far Mountain Tea Farmers

On the first day of the new year, Wen Lun didn't get up.Because on New Year's Eve, Xiong Da pestered him to give him "red envelopes", and then gave too much, so he couldn't bear it anymore.

However, on the first day of the new year, apart from the group of warriors who have to do morning classes every day, there are really not many people who are not sleepy.

No, there are really not many people who stay in bed.

Maybe they were also in bed, but by the time Wen Lun woke up, the whole village had already woken up.

A few tables were set up in the wing room of the Xiong's house, and almost everyone crowded inside, setting up the tables to play war chess.checkers?Checkers is too mentally retarded and only suitable for beginners, they are tall advanced players.

The group of people outside are still playing a simplified version of one-on-one, and they have already started to play three-on-three team battles!

Wen Lun was holding a bowl, eating the noodles cooked by Xiong Da, and watching the huge "battlefield" put together by the two tables.

Party A: Eunuch Cai, Song Lin, Little Six

Party B: Yao Qing, Jia Junshi, Cuilian

The people who participated in the battle were engrossed, and the onlookers were also engrossed.

When Wen Lun began to watch, the battle fell into a stalemate.After a stalemate for a while, a surprise soldier suddenly appeared behind Party A, raided the camp, and burned all the food and grass.This army is controlled by Cuilian.

Although Cuilian's own troops were depleted in this small-scale conflict, they had already achieved their strategic goals and quickly retreated to the rear to re-develop the logistics.

Seeing that it was irreversible, Eunuch Cai and the three quickly gathered all their forces to launch an attack.In the end, he was blocked by Junshi Jia.Yao Qing fought all the troops in his hands and was the first to end.

But the defeat of Cai Gonggong's side has been irretrievable.It will take a lot of time to re-establish the logistics system, and Jia Junshi's side obviously won't give it to them.

Wen Lun took the last mouthful of noodle soup with the last soldier on Eunuch Cai's side.

Cuilian looked up at this moment, just in time to see it, and hurried forward to take the empty bowl from Wen Lun's hand.After some busy work, all Xiong family members lined up in the main hall in an orderly manner.Wen Lun and Xiong Da give lucky money.

Kneel down, kowtow, say auspicious words, and receive red envelopes.

Wen Lun laughed all afternoon, feeling like an aloof Lafayette, unknowingly there are so many people in the family.

After dinner, Song Lin asked Wen Lun and Xiong Da to go to the study, with a thick red seal in his hand: "This is a reward from the emperor. This is from the queen. This is the dividend from the crown prince. There is also Mr. Qian." Those over there will probably arrive a few days later."

The three red seals given by the supreme family of Daqi Kingdom made Wen Lun narrow his eyes with a smile.rich!

Under the quilt, Wen Lun patted Xiong Da's thigh: "Buy land!"

Xiong Da's entire thigh was slapped hotly. Although his daughter-in-law is not as strong as him, she is still a healthy adult man. He wears less clothes, so such a slap really hurts.

What Wen Lun wants to buy are a few hilltops covered by bamboo forests in neighboring villages. Firstly, they need to burn coal, and secondly, if the bamboo sea is well planned, there will be a lot of economic value that can be developed.

The land in the [-]-mile mountain is worthless, and the three red seals in my hand only consume a small corner.Wen Lun pushed the rest of the money to Xiong Da with both hands.

Xiong Da pulled out another sum of money: "I still have to invest money."

The money is a lot of money, several times more than the money to buy the land.Wen Lun thought about it and accepted it.

The bamboo forest is a biological desert. Wherever the bamboo forest goes, there are almost no other plants and very few animals.But creatures that can grow in bamboo forests...

"Are there snakes in the bamboo forest?" In order to develop, we must first eliminate the danger.

Xiong Da nodded affirmatively: "Yes, there are very poisonous snakes."

Is bamboo leaf green?Wen Lun nodded: "That will kill all the snakes. Go down to the mountain to order fishing nets when spring begins." Surround each area, be more careful, don't worry that it won't be clean, and at most it will be less efficient. "Are there any bamboo rats?"

Xiong Da still nodded affirmatively: "Yes, but it's very difficult to catch." The daughter-in-law is really amazing, even bamboo rats know it.

"Yeah." That's fine.There is too little meat that can be raised on the mountain, only chickens, not even a duck.The rest of the meat you want to eat is either going up the mountain to hunt game, or going down the mountain to buy it in the county town.Bamboo rats are very good. Although they are not comparable in size to pigs, they are easy to gain weight and have good fur. It is said that the meat is also delicious.

There are also bamboo insects and bamboo fungus in the bamboo forest.Wen Lun has an obstacle to eating bugs, but he has no obstacle at all to selling bugs to others to eat.Dictyophora is even better, one of the absolute delicacies.It's a pity that my professional skills are not good enough, otherwise I can study the artificial breeding of bamboo fungus.Forget it, come on a little bit.

When Wen Lun and Xiong Dawo were in the room, discussing the outline of the plan of the bamboo forest, Mr. Qian's annual ceremony was long overdue.

Mr. Qian didn't send money, but several carts of green leafy vegetables.Although I tried my best to maintain it along the way, when it was transported to the mountain, it was still a little sluggish.Wen Lun didn't care at all.How difficult it is to eat vegetables in winter.Except for bean sprouts, the fresh vegetables he eats now are only bean sprouts.

Song Lin took Da Wang and Er Wang to pull two carts for the New Year ceremony.Wen Lun ignored the eyes of the villagers, and stingily kept the food for himself.Their family has a large population, and the family on the other side of the tea garden shared a handful of small green vegetables.

Wen Lun looked at the vegetables and decided to burn glass and build a greenhouse!

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to burn glass, Wen Lun directly wrote a letter to the queen.In a country's mama, the power in the hands of the queen has dropped greatly, and the money in the hands of the queen has dropped a lot.He didn't believe that there were hot spring villages everywhere that could grow vegetables.

In fact, according to Eunuch Cai’s description, Hot Spring Zhuangzi wants to grow off-season vegetables in winter, and the cost is also very high.

Wen Lun probably remembered something about burning glass, so he solemnly handed a letter to Song Lin.

Song Lin was so tired that he wanted to turn white.It's Chinese New Year, can it make people calm down?Complaining and swallowing, Song Lin took the envelope, put it in the wooden box, and ran down the mountain before it snowed.

Just after the first day of the Lunar New Year, Beijing has become lively.Visiting relatives and friends is still the same, but the topic is all focused on the newly launched competition.

Only the contestants in the preliminary competition need to pay the registration fee, and viewing is free.Moreover, the number of preliminaries is the largest and the number of games is the largest.Many people who are busy with their livelihoods on weekdays came here with their families to watch and learn about the new games that have become popular in the capital recently.

At this sight, not to mention the adults, the children were all obsessed with it, raising their heads and blinking at their parents with sparkling eyes.

Next to the playing field, there is a shed selling toys.The prices of various toys are written on a board and placed next to the shed.

A long queue soon formed in front of the shed.

The capital has a large population, even for the preliminary round, one day is not enough to determine the top [-].

In the evening, the queen held a family banquet.There was no one else, a family of four ate around the table.The little princess was still young, her eyelids closed after eating, and she was hugged by the nanny to sleep.

The queen looked at her son, and said straight to the point: "How much money did you earn?"

The emperor was surprised.Is my daughter-in-law thinking about my son's small treasury?

"After reporting back to mother, today's accounts have not been calculated yet." The prince replied straightforwardly, and reported the registration fee and the profit from selling toys that he had received earlier.

"gross profit?"

"net income."

The emperor blinked, and took back the red envelope handed to the prince: "The prince is old enough to make money by himself. I won't..."

The queen swept her eyes: "Huh?"

The emperor handed the red envelope to the prince.

The queen then gave the red envelope to the prince.

The prince pushed the large package brought over to the two of them, signaling that it was a New Year's gift for them.

The big red package was bulging, and it was hard to tell what was inside, but the tentacles were soft.

The emperor was still guessing what was inside, but the queen had already opened it two or three times.

The emperor: "What is this?"

Prince: "The dolls of the groom's father and the bride's mother and queen."

The workmanship of the doll is fine, although it is small, the material on the body is very exquisite, and all kinds of gold and silver thread jewelry are inlaid, which is simply beautiful.

The queen couldn't put it down.

Emperor: I am not a three-headed body!

When the first game competition in the capital was over, the Lantern Festival had passed and the snow had melted.

The mountain is still sealed.Several village chiefs from the neighboring village came together again.

Last year, they followed the advice of the head of Dacha Village, and their life improved a bit. This year, they came to learn again in the new year.

The suggestion of the head of Dacha Village is only four words: "Learn characters, learn art."

Learning art is something that all mountain people have always yearned for.These days, it is a good thing to be able to learn a craft from a master, not to mention the mountain people, even ordinary people in the town below the mountain.But there are only so many craftsmen, how can they have the time to bring so many apprentices?As for literacy, it is even more difficult. Except for the winter in Dacha Village on the mountain, who has the conditions to send their children to study?

Last year, it was said that after the tea house was built, a private school would be opened, but how could the tea house be built in a short period of time?

Several village chiefs went back sadly.

The head of Dacha Village sent people out, and quietly tugged the head of Dongjiagou, a neighboring village, and winked.

After Village Chief Dong went back, he came early the next day, and was taken to Xiong's house before he could ask for an exit.

Steward Zhao Si stood outside the house, pointing at the bamboo forest: "Buy."

Village Chief Dong nodded fiercely: "Sell!"

Then the two had a heated discussion about which place to buy, how much land to buy, and how much it cost.When it was finalized, it was already late, and Village Chief Dong stayed at Xiong's house for one night.

Village head Dong was escorted to take a bath, changed into someone else's old clothes, ate a big bowl of sauerkraut meat dumplings, drank a big bowl of mutton soup, and slept on a warm kang at night with soft pillows Pillows, covered with a thick quilt.

The next day, Village Chief Dong put on the clothes he sent.The clothes were washed and mended, and even the hats and shoes were warmed.

Village head Dong walked out of the big tea village, tightened the two fragrant pancakes and a jar of chilblain ointment in his arms, looked back at the invisible Xiong family compound, and sighed: "This is the life of a human being." ” Work hard this year, and at the very least, he will let the family eat a meal of sauerkraut and meat dumplings during the Chinese New Year this year.
