Farmer's little scholar

"Qi Yu has more Brother Lan here."

"When your village chief came to the county government, he met Mingfeng. I have already approved your purchase of mountain land. I will wait for your spring tea next year." After finishing speaking, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, both waiting to do it. What about the tea business?

In this era, tea-making technology is backward, and there is no correct process for craftsmanship and temperature control. Everything is still being explored, so the tea leaves always have a certain taste after brewing, but Mo Qiyu's ones do not.

On the day Lan Zhifu left, Mo Qiyu brought Lin Sheng and three cans of tea to see him off.Two cans were given to Lan Zhifu, and the other was given to Master Tong Zhiming.

On the way back, Lin Sheng was still very excited. He didn't expect that he would be able to make "friends" with the magistrate one day.

Because of a few words with the magistrate, the whole person is excited at the moment.

"Brother, you will see a lot of people in the future, so you have to learn to keep calm. And from now on, I want you to read and study every day." The matter of literacy is still very important, and you can't go out to discuss business But I don't even know the words.

Even if most of the tea is sold directly to the magistrate, the small part will always have to be sold in pieces.

Numeracy and literacy are necessary.

"Yeah, I know. I asked Amin to teach me those simple words these days." Speaking of this, Lin Sheng is still very serious. He didn't have any books to read before, so how could he not be serious now that he has the opportunity?

"That's good. But recently there's been a lot of work in the fields, so don't work too hard, brother."

"I know, after the crops are harvested, the wheat will be dried. I will study all day. I will also get used to it these few days."

Mo Qiyu and the others haven't picked tea in the past few days, because there are not many young leaves.The second is to harvest crops.

His second uncle helped him go to the city to buy bricks and tiles. He originally thought about going to help his second uncle's house first, but his second aunt refused directly, saying that the head of the house had told them before leaving and let them collect it themselves.

Knowing his second uncle's temper, Mo Qiyu didn't insist, thinking about raising Cousin Mo Qiong's wages next time.

As for Mo Qiyu's family, Fang An and Moxi were directly invited to each for forty copper coins a day plus a meal.Although they are all home-cooked dishes, but Mo Qiyu is willing, so there is meat in everything.At the beginning, the two of them were a little embarrassed, but in the end they could only eat it, it was really delicious.

Within a few days, the peanuts in the field were dug out and sun-dried, as was the wheat, and the straws were neatly arranged.

When Moxi went back, Cui brought a catty of pork belly, saying it was for his grandma.

Unable to shirk, Mo Xi went home with the meat.

"Grandma, I'm back." Moxi said to the old lady sitting on the dilapidated chair, "Aunt Cui gave me a catty of pork belly and asked me to bring it back for you to eat."

"Ah, this, how can you want this?" The old lady was a little anxious.

Moxi stood there with his head lowered, and whispered, "I, I can't escape."

In fact, he was also very sad. After seeing the meat in the meal, his first reaction was to stay and take grandma to eat, but he didn't prepare anything on the first day, so he had to eat by himself.

The next day, when he saw that it was still meat, he sat on the bump in the field and hid it quietly, bringing it back for his grandma to eat.

He also wanted to buy meat for Grandma, but he lost his job in the town, and now he can only do odd jobs to earn some money.And not every time you can meet someone as good as Mo Xiucai.

Fearing that grandma would get sick in winter, he would not be willing to spend any of these copper coins.He really couldn't refuse Cui's offer of meat.

I can't eat meat all by myself but only give it a little bit of meat, let grandma eat it.

Even though I was getting wages and meat, I felt uncomfortable.But he could only hold back his tears and work hard, hoping to help Mo Xiucai's family one day.

He figured he'd have to try and find odd jobs.

After one month, the busy farming season was basically over, and the village also organized people to go door-to-door to collect taxes and grains, which were weighed and then taken to the town.

In the same good year, this year the big guy harvested more grain than before.Everyone believed that it was Mo Xiucai's contribution, who was responsible for removing insects and fertilizing.

In order to thank him, the villagers sent a lot of food, vegetables and fruits.The weather is also hot now, so some of them couldn't be released, so Cui asked Lin Xu and Mo Qiyu to bring some, and went to Shanghe Village to send them to his in-laws.I also gave some to Dong Ling of Mo Sanlang's family.

Now they are separated, and although their lives are poorer, their days are quiet and peaceful.Unlike before, the family was so noisy.

Because it was the first year they moved out and they had babies, Cui didn't collect their food, and asked them to sell the food for more money, so that they could live a good life.If you have it in the future, just return it to her.

Mo Sanlang scratched the back of his head foolishly, and Dong Ling let him listen to Cui's words, after all, the current situation does not allow him to be hypocritical.

When Mo Qiyu came back from his second uncle's house, he saw Mo Sanlang in his own house, and said hello: "Mo Sange, Mo Sansister."

"Hey," the two quickly agreed.It still made them nervous that the only scholar in the village spoke to them.

"I'll get you some tea."

"No, no. We'll go back right away. There's still a little one at home." Speaking of her son, Dong Ling, there was a slight smile on her face.

Although there is usually nothing wrong with a baby sleeping, it is best to have someone watch over it.Thinking of this, Cui also said: "Then we won't keep you guys. I'll go to your house again when I'm free."

"Okay okay."

"Brother Mo San, wait a minute." Mo Qiyu said quickly when he saw that someone was about to leave the hospital: "In three days, I plan to start digging the foundation to build a house. If Brother Mo San is free, you might as well help me build the house. 40 copper coins a day plus a meal."

"Ah, good... good!" Seeing Mo Sanlang stunned, Dong Ling said directly: "We will go there then. Although he is not very good at talking, he will not be lazy if he has the strength."

"However, it's usually thirty coppers. Your forty is actually a bit too much." Everyone was acquainted, and Dong Ling and Cui's relationship were so close, so naturally they thought a little more.

Mo Qiyu said with a smile: "The busy farming season has just passed, and everyone is very tired. At this time, 40 copper coins are not too much."

Hearing what Mo Qiyu said, Dong Ling didn't say anything more.

But Mrs. Cui looked at her son, shook her head and said, "Your wages are indeed high. But the farmers are honest, so they won't really make you suffer."

"Aniang, I haven't dealt with them all the year round, so it's good to pay more copper coins to get closer? And with the amount of copper coins, the more people come, the house will be built faster?" Pulled Cui Walking in, he said analytically: "When the house is built, I will pick a few hard-working people from the builders and hire them to help open up wasteland. Those who are lazy can be screened out. I only discovered it when I opened the mountain." Opening the mountain is not a job for a few days, and they have to sign a contract to do it.

Cui took a look at her son and always felt that his words were becoming more and more serious.

"Aniang, where's Axu?" Mo Qiyu asked after not seeing Lin Xu for a long time.

"I went to the mountains to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables. I went with a lot of brothers and daughters-in-law in the village."

Mo Qiyu sighed, and said to himself: He didn't even tell me.

Seeing Mo Qiyu's distraught look, Cui said happily, "Hey, Axu will leave for a while, are you uncomfortable?"

"Not really, just asking casually." Often there is this person by my side, and suddenly disappearing, I feel a little empty, but I can't admit it anyway, and I will be teased by A Niang.

Cui looked disbelieving but didn't continue to say anything.

Thinking that although Lin Xu would come back for dinner, he was fine now, so he took the cranberry pastry he bought earlier and went to look for Lin Xu on the mountain Cui mentioned.

Hayashiya

Lin Sheng discussed with Mo Qiyu that after the busy farming season, let him bring soap to the nearby towns and villages to sell goods first.Like those peddlers who travel from village to village.First understand the situation and accumulate experience in doing business.

At this moment, Lin Qiu and his husband Zheng Xiu were planning to go to Lin Sheng's house, and the cart they were pushing was filled with about 500 yuan of soap.

Lin Qiu and the others have already saved enough money to rent a small shop after selling the soap for the past few months, and now they are their own small bosses.When they heard that Lin Sheng planned to take soap to other places, they also fully supported it.

If, as Mo Qiyu said, the soap market opens up, then they only need to stay at home and make soap, and the coins will come.

Lin Sheng will leave Xiyang Town the day after tomorrow, and they rushed out the 500 yuan soap.The soap is so easy to use, they believe that they will need more in the future, and the family will be more and more prosperous.

The elder sisters who were married at home were looked down upon by their husbands, but now they know that they have the craft of making soap, and they all ask around, which is very annoying.

After moving the soap, several people sat around the table in the main room.

"Brother, I have ten taels of silver here, you take it first." Lin Qiu said, and hurriedly took out the silver.This was also discussed by his family. After all, a poor family has a rich life, even though they are going out to make money, they also need money to move forward, right?

And the soap business, after all, they took advantage of it.

Lin Sheng pushed the money back and said, "That's not acceptable. How can an older brother take my younger brother's money? What's more, it's just the autumn harvest, and the family has sold some grain, which is enough for me on the road."

"Going out, it's better to prepare more money." Lin Qiu persuaded.

"I know you are kind. Brother really doesn't need it, so I will keep your money well."

Lin's father and Lin's mother at the side also persuaded Lin Qiu to take back the money.Seeing that they really didn't need it, Lin Qiu put the money back into his bosom again.

"Brother is traveling alone, you have to be more careful on the road." Zheng Xiu took a sip from the water glass before saying.

"Family cannot live without people, otherwise I would still be a companion with my elder brother." Lin Qiu said helplessly.

"There are old and young in your family, you can't think about it." Lin Sheng patted Lin Qiu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will go with Mo Xi behind Qi Yu's house."

"Qiyu said that there is a discussion between the two of you when you meet outside. And that baby also often deals with strangers, and her character is trustworthy."

"That's good, that's good." Lin Qiu said excitedly after hearing this.

"It's just that my family has to trouble you to take care of it."

"Brother, what are you talking about? Brother is not in the village, uncle and aunt still have Xiao Ming, so it is a natural necessity for me to take care of him. How can you still talk about it?" Lin Qiu said with some dissatisfaction.

"It's my brother's fault." Seeing this, Lin Sheng smiled and apologized.

Since they had to go to the small shop in the town, Lin Qiu and his wife rushed back without staying long.

Lin Sheng was ordered and ordered at home. ?
