Bad Boy Farming

He Ping didn't wait for the emperor to blame their will, and just breathed a sigh of relief when he welcomed a third-rank official who was proficient in farming.

Seeing that the magistrate wanted to salute him, He Ping held back his breath again.When he heard that the other party would not attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet and urged him to leave immediately, He Ping really wanted to throw himself into the sea to find the Dragon King.

The other party waited until the boat sailed before telling He Ping that his surname was Su.

He Ping staggered and managed to avoid fainting.The emperor didn't say to let the magistrate come back with them, He Ping is the only person on board who can take charge.He Ping said cautiously, "Which prince is your lord?"

"My humble servant is ranked ninth at home!" The Ninth Prince said expressionlessly.

He Ping fainted again, contemptuous, my humble... This is clearly the emperor's youngest and most beloved younger brother.He Ping really wanted to die, and save Er Niu from being buried with him.

Seeing He Ping's face changing, the Ninth Prince felt that he might have a guilty conscience.Although I grew up in the royal family, I'm not a silverfish who doesn't know all kinds of grains. I haven't seen anything with an output of three thousand catties per mu since I was a child. What the hell is Zhangjia Village? It's special than other places?

He doesn't even believe in ghosts!

So, the Ninth Prince said, "He Ping, right? You will call me Su Jiu from now on. If you dare to let others know my identity, I will make you regret coming to this world!"

He Ping's heart trembled, he couldn't understand why the Emperor's younger brother who was wise and martial, and could joke was so, so scary!

Along the way, He Ping was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word to the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince thought that He Ping was lying in front of the emperor and was trying to fool him by not speaking.

He Ping originally planned to return to Lin'an first and then go to Maoling, but the prince said he wanted to see the taro field as soon as possible, so He Ping had to take a boat to Zhangjiacun instead.

As the mountains guarding both sides of Zhangjia Village got closer, He Ping felt relieved for no reason.Walking to the bow, he said, "My lord, we can reach Zhangjia Village in less than a quarter of an hour."

"Is there a pier in Zhangjia Village?" Su Jiu asked strangely.

"Brother Su, people in Zhangjia Village built a small pier by themselves." He Ping heard the children's play.

Er Niu was afraid that the three children would find it difficult to study, so he not only memorized the books every day in the academy, but also had to review the books when he got home, and then felt disgusted.Therefore, when they returned home from vacation, Er Niu asked the three of them to teach the children in the village what they had learned in the last half month, saying yes, no matter whether they understand it or not, it is better than not knowing.

Xiao Niu thought about it too, the students in the county looked down on those from the countryside, if the friends in the village knew more, they wouldn't be looked down upon like them in the future.

And this also led to happy villagers contracting out the three children's meals.

Xiao Niu talked about a section of content taught by his master, and found that he had forgotten something, so he told his friends to take a break, and then sneaked home to read it again.

When he came back, he ran too fast, and suddenly bumped into a person. Maverick was about to scold someone for being lazy and wandering around, so he looked up, "Hey, Uncle He, why are you here? No! Didn't you go to Kyoto? Why did you come back? Our preserved egg failed to enter the palace? Tell me! Did the emperor throw it out?"

"Don't worry." He Ping asked with a smile, "Aren't you studying in the county? Why are you at home?"

"You answer mine first!" Maverick said stubbornly.

"Ahem, who is this?" Seeing that a person of her age was completely ignored by the half-children in front of her, Su Jiu felt angry.

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Niu, this is my friend, you call him Big Brother Su. Don't worry, the emperor has eaten our preserved egg."

"Really!" Maverick's eyes lit up, "I'll tell my second brother!"

He Ping quickly grabbed him, "I'm going to find Er Niu, what were you going to do just now?"

"By the way, my little friends are still waiting by the river for me to teach them how to read. He Dong's family, the second brother is in the workshop."

"There is no one by the river." He Ping was surprised.

"No one?" Xiao Niu thought about where they came from. "Maybe at the chicken farm. The children in the village go to help the uncles and ladies chase the chickens and ducks into the pen every afternoon. I'll go over there to have a look."

Su Jiu raised an eyebrow at He Ping, and He Ping said, "Let's go with you."

"Aren't you looking for my second brother?" Xiao Niu mistakenly thought that Su Jiu was here to buy preserved eggs, because Er Niu said that as long as the emperor ate preserved eggs, they would be able to sell many, many preserved eggs in the future.

"Don't worry, your house is finished, right? Then I'll have a place to stay at night." He Ping decided to let his servant and Su Jiu go back to Erniu's house first, and he and Su Jiu followed the little boy. ox.While walking, he said, "I haven't been here for three months, the village has changed."

Xiao Niu was very proud, "These are all planned by the second brother, Uncle He, our village now raises a lot of chickens and ducks, do you want more eggs?"

"Er Niu sent you to study to let you develop your skills, not to tell you to focus on these trivial matters."

"A small amount makes a lot!" Xiao Niu raised his eyes to look at Su Jiu, and called out sweetly, "Brother Su, what kind of business does your family do?"

Without even thinking about it, Su Jiu said, "I do any business."

"Then does your family sell pens, inks, papers and inkstones?"

He Ping paused, pretending not to hear.

Su Jiudao, "Do it!" He is pretending to be a businessman now, and the reason why he didn't change his surname is because he feels that no one will recognize him.

Xiao Niu was overjoyed, "Can you sell it to me at a lower price? The second brother said that you all sell at six or seven times the purchase price. If you pay me according to the purchase price, I will call you two when you buy preserved eggs." I'll give you a little cheaper."

Su Jiu was dumbfounded, she looked at Xiao Niu with strange eyes, and Xiao Niu was scared by him, "Why are you looking at me like that, let it be if you don't want to!" He walked up to He Ping quickly, "Boss He, your friend is really mean. "

"Don't talk nonsense!" He Ping hurriedly stopped him, "There is no one who will take care of what others want as soon as they come here, be careful of being beaten!"

"You don't know if you don't say that the second brother is not." Xiao Niu turned his face and stared at Su Jiu after finishing speaking, "You are not allowed to say."

"Why should I listen to you." Su Jiujue thought that Zhangjia Village might really have crops with an yield of three thousand catties per mu, because he had never seen such a thick-skinned child.

"You want to buy my family's preserved eggs!" Maverick raised his eyebrows, "Our preserved eggs are rare, don't think your business is big, we have no shortage of buyers."

Su Jiu choked, he really couldn't argue with this child, and suddenly thought of He Ping saying that Zhang Erniu not only adopted a child but also raised his cousin, "I don't know why Zhang Erniu wants you!"

"Because the second brother is not you!" Maverick knows that Er Niu loves him from the bottom of his heart, so he doesn't care what others say.Every time the second brother kills chickens, he will kill two, just to let himself eat chicken legs.

Seeing that Su Jiu's face changed slightly, He Ping asked, "Xiao Niu, whose family is that fenced yard over there? Why don't I remember that there is such a big family in your village?"

"That's a chicken coop. It's built against fruit trees. There are many apple trees, peach trees and persimmon trees next to it. The chickens and ducks are driven out during the day. The second brother said that the flowers and insects falling from the trees can feed the chickens. Shit can fatten trees, and there is no need for aunts and uncles to clean the chicken coop every day."

"How does Erniu's head grow?" He Ping was amazed, "You can eat eggs and duck eggs every day without spending a copper coin."

"Who said that!" Maverick disagreed, "Chicken and duck seedlings don't cost money? Fruit tree seedlings don't cost money?"

"This chicken farm can't last long, right?" Su Jiu said, staring at the messy ducks in the distance.

Mavericks had a bad impression of him, he was too stingy!

"Listen to me if you don't know." The calf glanced at him proudly, "When the fruit trees are bearing fruit, get rid of the bad ones and feed the chickens, and feed the chickens with wormy fruits when the fruit grows. In winter, chickens and ducks I don’t like to lay eggs, so just feed me some chaff.”

He Ping chuckled, Su Jiu was surprised, "What are you laughing at?"

"Brother Su, don't listen to this kid talking nonsense." He Ping rubbed the calf's head, "Erniu raises chickens and ducks to make preserved eggs, and it is absolutely impossible to let the chickens and ducks eat bran, as far as the brat can figure it out. "

"Don't touch my head." The calf twisted his neck and raised his voice, "Sword Bean, Mengmeng, come out!"

"Xiao Niu, I'm here." Mengmeng and Sword Bean walked out of the chicken pen hand in hand, followed by a group of children, each with a peach in their hand, "Who gave it to you?"

"Grandpa." Mengmeng pointed with her little finger.Sword Bean said, "This is for you. Grandpa said it's the May peach, eat it quickly, it's so sweet."

"Just one?" Maverick frowned.

"Can you stop being so stingy, kid?" An old man walked out of the room carrying half a bag of things. When he saw He Ping, he hurriedly asked, "Boss He, you, why are you here?"

"Come back to announce the good news to Erniu when it's done." He said and took the other party's bag, "I want to go back too, let me get it."

The other party happily said, "Xiao Niu, do you still have chickens in your house? I'll catch two for you and let Er Niu add food to He Dong's house!"

"No." Xiao Niu loves money but also understands public and private interests, "Don't talk nonsense in the future, the chickens and ducks are from our village, don't catch and eat them randomly."

"You boy!" The old man laughed, "I raised it myself. How can I kill and eat the ones raised in the village before they grow up? You think I'm a fool."

"No." Xiao Niu nodded again, "Second brother beat someone." He said and pulled Mengmeng up, and waved the other hand, "Wait for me at the threshing ground at night, continue just now."

The life in the village has only started to improve this year. The children still remember the hard times before. Just when they were satisfied with having a meal of meat every three to five days, Xiao Niu went to the academy.

Shuxiu in the academy is not expensive, but pens, inks, papers and inkstones are the most expensive. Zhang Wei planned to send her son there too, but she couldn’t buy a decent set of pens and inks for her son after working for half a year last year. Look down on them, the children in the village are eager to go to the academy like a calf, and at the same time they have a low self-esteem.

As soon as the children heard that Xiao Niu wanted to teach them, they rushed to say, "Uncle Xiao Niu, my mother is making ribs tonight, you can come to my house to eat."

"My house cooks chicken, so Mengmeng will come to my house, okay?"

"My mother said fried mahua and sword beans, aren't you the favorite food?"

"Okay, okay, shut up!" Madam Xiaoniu said, "Look at what you look like, and come one by one when you talk. We won't go to any of our houses tonight. Dong He's is here. I want to accompany the guests." .”

"Cough...cough cough..." He Ping was eating peaches, and almost coughed up his lungs when he heard it, "Zhang Xiaoniu, you want to choke me to death."

Su Jiu couldn't help but glance at the kid standing among the children not far away, "He didn't say anything."

"That kid thinks pens and ink are expensive, so he seized the opportunity and asked me to buy them for him. Er Niu doesn't allow him to ask me for random things. In order not to let me tell, he went out to see how he would accompany guests at night."

"Are you familiar with their family?" Su Jiu raised her eyebrows.From the time he entered the village, what he heard and saw was the same as what He Ping said when he was in Kyoto, "Where is the taro field?"

"I don't know either. The beach field I passed by when I got off the boat just now may be it." After a pause, "Er Niu should go home. If you have any questions, please ask him."
