Bad Boy Farming

In the huge workshop, one could hear a needle being dropped quietly. Seeing Er Niu's embarrassment, the village chief scolded, "What nonsense! The body promise is about a man and a woman, don't use it if you don't understand it!"

"I'm just joking." The person who spoke earlier asked, "Isn't Master Qi not even able to take such a small joke?"

Qi Sheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, "How could it be? When I was Er Niu's age, I wasn't as good as him, and I couldn't be happier that you guys could bring me together with Er Niu."

"Shameless!" Er Niu muttered, and said that Qi Sheng was willing to pay for them to help them build the road. The old village head trembled slightly, and walked up to Qi Sheng, "Is what Er Niu said true?"

Qi Sheng: "I asked on the way back. It only takes 100 taels of silver to repair this section of the mountain road."

Everyone said "Ah", but Er Niu frowned, "It's only 100 taels? Isn't the county willing to build roads for us? It's too picky!"

The village chief raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't talk nonsense, the county magistrate is not something we can talk about!"

"The county magistrate can't do anything about the original one-line sky, it's not that he's stingy." Qi Sheng said, "It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to open up the one-line sky, and your village, as far as I know, doesn't have a tax of 50 taels a year. The county will not agree to spend a lot of money on Zhangjia Village."

"You know as much as you do!" Er Niu glanced at him, "When will work start?"

"In half a month it will be New Year's Eve, of course after the beginning of spring."

As soon as he said Erniu, he thought, "Uncle, let's stop working at 22."

"So early?" Everyone who fell into Qian's eyes asked in unison, "When will work start?"

Er Niu had been a boss for so many years in his previous life, and this was the first time he encountered this kind of "employee", "Why are you in such a hurry, it's not good to take a few more days off."

Everyone shook their heads together, "No, the rest is all money!"

"Okay! Since everyone thinks the same, let's start working on the sixth day of the new year. Have you cleaned up the room?"

"Don't worry about our work. By the way, what are you going to do?"

Er Niu said: "I'll go to the river to have a look. When the sand boat comes over, you all help to pull the sand. Don't ask why, it's to preserve the lotus root seeds."

"Oh..." Everyone understands. Er Niu said before that by the beginning of spring next year, all the beaches in the village will be planted with taro, lotus roots by the river, fruit trees on the hillside, and chickens and ducks at the foot of the hill. Within a year, Zhangjia Village It is no longer a poor place that people say, but a happy village surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Someone asked Er Niu why it is not a rich village, Er Niu said that it is too vulgar to raise money, and happiness sounds nice.

Half a year ago, if someone told the villagers in Zhangjia Village that they could earn two hundred copper coins a day for their family, the villagers would definitely spit on him and send him a sentence, "Fuck your shit! Steal money!"

Now when they hear similar words again, the villagers will still criticize each other, "Fuck off! Act like we have never seen money!"

Er Niu was very satisfied when he saw a pile of lotus roots piled up neatly on the river bank. When he saw a search boat coming from afar, the people who were digging lotus roots asked repeatedly, "Did He Dong's family come? Is it He Dong's family?" coming?"

"Do you have He Ping to pull the bastard?" Er Niu couldn't see their virtue of being blind to money.

Recently, they have been selling fermented bean curd and Biandan, and every household has some money in their hands, so how could they still embarrass him like this.

Qi Sheng stood aside and said with a light smile, "You used to worry about them going out and talking nonsense, look at how petty and selfish they are, even their old wives don't want to take a coin out of their hands."

The men who went down to work were all young and strong men. Seeing that Guangjiao was among them, Er Niu couldn't help but support his forehead, "The third aunt's family is not bad. If it weren't for their constant help, I wouldn't be where I am now."

Qi Sheng heard from Xiao Niu that when Er Niu threw himself into the river in anger, it was Zhang Daliuan who rescued him, "That Guangdan hasn't married yet?"

"It's too late." Er Niu glanced at him while speaking, "It's still too late to regret."

"Pretend I didn't say it." If he knew he wouldn't mention this, he thought that Zhang Daliuan and his wife were fine, so he cared about it. Seeing that he didn't talk to Er Niu and didn't talk to him, "I've been away for so many days, what's the matter?" miss me?"

Er Niu stared at him like he was crazy, "I forgot. But it's true that I have goosebumps all over my body now."

Second Master Qi was speechless for a while, Er Niu smiled and directed everyone to pull the river sand.

As the lotus roots were put into the sand one by one, more and more lotus roots that could not be used as seeds piled up. The villagers around looked at it with pity, "Can't these be used?"

Er Niu nodded, his hands kept moving, "The rotten lotus root will go bad after a long time. Let's save it for the New Year, so we don't need to buy vegetables."

"You said, save us to eat?" The person who cut the lotus root with Er Niu was shocked, "How can we eat it!"

Er Niu pretended not to know what he meant, "If you don't eat it, give it to me, anyway, lotus root can be made into lotus root powder."

"No, that's not what I mean, I mean..."

Not wanting him to talk about money again, Er Niu interrupted him again, "I don't know what to do, but come to my house later, I will do it!"

The people around saw that his face was flushed by Er Niu, and they were all happy with "puchi". A few more open-minded villagers said, "We have Er Niu, but we are afraid that we will not be able to make money. After half a year of busy work, we should pay for it." Old people and children cook some decent food, and sell everything for money, haha, they will end up with a handful of loess at the end of their lives."

"That's right! If half an acre of lotus root is sold, the family won't get a lot of money. Why don't you all eat and drink well, and do a big job next year!" Er Niu said, "During the time of the Chinese New Year, there is no snow on the ground. At that time, we will set up a chicken pen and a duck pen, and put all the chickens and ducks in the village together next year, and let the old men and women in the village see..."

"Second brother, I can also raise chickens!" The calf jumped out suddenly, scaring the two cows.

"You?" Er Niu raised his sand-stained hand and tapped his forehead, "You all go to the county next year to study and read with my master!"

"All go?" The bystanders asked in amazement, "Sword beans also go?"

Jian Dou stood behind the adults, his small face tensed into creases, Er Niu didn't know.

"What are you doing at home if you are so young and can't read and write?"

"I can raise chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs." Maverick was unwilling to be so useless as Erniu.

Er Niu glanced at him, "Yes, the chickens raised for half a year are not enough to buy a piece of clothing."

Everyone followed Er Niu's line of sight, only to find that the dusty clothes on Maverick's body were not linen but brocade silk. Maverick subconsciously wanted to cover his clothes, "What are you looking at!"

"Let's see if Maverick becomes the son of everyone." The more he wanted to hide the adults, the more they liked to tease him. "Tell me, brother, who will buy you clothes?"

"Second brother do it." Maverick said.

Everyone sneered, "Nonsense, Er Niu can't even use a needle, so how can I do it for you."

"I, if I don't tell you, I will bully people!" After speaking, he twisted his body and was about to run, as fast as a loach.

Seeing that the children had left, everyone said, "Why are you sending the calf to the academy and also the sword bean? You don't want to marry a wife!?"

"Uh..." Er Niu thought for a while before reacting.

Qi Sheng said, "I'll give Sword Bean a bunch of repairs, including Maverick's."

"Master Qi, you, you are such a good person!" Everyone said.

"A good man is a dude." Qi Sheng laughed, "If it weren't for his kindness, my Mengmeng would have suffered a lot. Besides, I'm not bad for those few Shuxiu."

"Hehe..." Everyone knew that Qi's family was rich, and the villagers really wanted to be jealous when he said it out loud, but the 100 taels of silver that he got out for building roads in the village was enough for Mavericks and Sword Beans to last for ten years.

When Er Niu returned home, before he could sit down, Xiao Niu brought a bowl of hot water, and Jian Dou handed over a twist he had made earlier.

One said, "Second brother, drink water."

One asked, "Second Uncle, are you hungry?"

"What are you doing?" Er Niu laughed, "Thank you Qi Sheng soon, you will be staying at Qi's Woodenware Store tomorrow, and you will only come back when you have a rest day."

"Ah?" The two teenagers raised their heads stupidly, "Why do you want to live in the county?"

"Because the academy only has two days off in half a month." Qi Sheng said.

Mengmeng lay down in Er Niu's arms, "No, I won't go!"

"I won't like you if you don't go." Er Niu threatened him, "I won't make you sugar cakes, lotus root sandwiches, or rice flower candies either."

The child had a bitter face, "Second Uncle!"

"Now I know that I am your second uncle." Qi Sheng was quite speechless, "I listen to Er Niu."

"Second uncle, do I really want to go to the academy?" Daodou nervously synchronized his hands and feet, because he hadn't thrown Sazi out yet.

Er Niu stretched out his hand and rubbed Jiandou's head, "I'm waiting to be the uncle of Mr. Xiucai."

"Why not Master Juren?" Qi Dong, who had been ignored by the family for a long time, asked first.

"There is no need to pay rent for the land under the name of a scholar." Er Niu said, looking at the two of them, "I can learn a sentence of "Thousand Characters" for half a month, and I don't expect them to win the exam."

"Second Brother..." Dao Dou didn't know which one was better, Juren or Xiucai, and Xiao Niu was about to cry, "Can't you have some confidence in me?"

Er Niu patted him on the head, "Let me tell you, if you don't change your stingy virtues, you won't pass the exam even if you are a scholar."

"Does being a scholar have something to do with stinginess?" Jiandou asked hurriedly.

Er Niu's eyes froze, "Of course! If you can't remember the content taught by Master in the future, and you are in the academy again, who are you going to ask?"

Maverick thought for a while, "That's what... By the way, ask a classmate."

"Yes. But why should my classmate tell you?" Er Niu asked.

Maverick: "Because he is my classmate."

"Stupid boy, Da Niu is still the big brother, the relationship is closer than the classmates, why don't you give you chicken legs when your family cooks chicken for Chinese New Year, only give you chicken butt to eat."

"Oh, the calf eats the chicken's butt!" Mengmeng sat on the second calf's legs and clapped her hands happily.

"He's different from big brother, he's a scholar!" Xiao Niu glared at Mengmeng, "Qi Dong, lead him out."

Mengmeng hugged Erniu's neck cleverly, and Erniu continued, "It's nothing different. The academy is actually the same as our village. There are people in it who are as enthusiastic as the third aunt, and naturally some are like the aunt. What did you do when you just arrived?" They don’t understand, they look at you just like you used to look at Zhang Lao Wu.”

"No way?" The academy is a very magical place. In Maverick's heart, all the people who come out of the academy are well-educated and well-educated.
