Farmer's little scholar

Lin Sheng and Moxi were sent away, and they were allowed to go to other places to promote soap and increase sales channels.And Mo Qiyu also paved the tea road in the village.

Mo Nian traveled all the way to the nearby areas with large tea farmers, bought adult tea trees directly with them and transported them back to Shuixi Village.

Although one tea tree is very expensive, it will be long enough for them to earn back the money spent when the tea tree grows up.

I don't know where my nephew got the silver, but he gave himself 1000 taels directly as the cost of buying tea trees.

He himself had never seen such a large banknote in his entire life, and he felt a little dizzy at that time.

Changed it to a small amount and joined an escort agency for this section of the road, and the whole person was always on guard.Fortunately, it arrived safely.

Because Mo Qiyu planned to build a three-entry house, in addition to the workers led by Master Zhang, there were also many young and middle-aged people in the village who built houses for themselves.He talked with his family about wages, but they didn't want a penny. They only said that this year's bumper harvest was thanks to Mo Xiucai, and that it was their heartfelt wish to help with some manual labor.

Having said this, Mo Qiyu couldn't say anything more.If people can help you for free, you can't let people go home for dinner, so Mo Qiyu put a lot of effort into the meals.

Every morning, I cook bone soup, all kinds of porridge, and crispy fried dough sticks, white noodles and steamed buns for the villagers who come here.There are six dishes at noon, each with meat and plenty of tea.

The villagers laughed and said: This is the best meal they have ever had.

Of course, the Cui family, Lin Xu, Lin Mu, Feng Yue, and Fang Pingping who cooked these meals are indispensable.

Everyone gathered together happily, chatting and laughing while working.This year's bumper harvest, coupled with the fact that there is meat to eat, puts smiles on everyone's faces.

The weather is too hot, and everyone is under the scorching sun.So during the worst noon, Mo Qiyu resolutely refused to let them work. In order to relieve the summer heat, Mo Qiyu also researched how to make sour plum soup, let Lin Xu cook it in the morning and put it in the well, and everyone gathered at noon Under the nearby big tree, take another sip of this sour plum soup, not to mention how enjoyable it is.

Some people took the bowl home and gave it to their mothers, daughters-in-law and children drank it.

In this way, Mo Qiyu's green brick and tile house was built in less than a month.From the outside, it looks vigorous and extravagant.

Some villagers always have to look more when they pass by, thinking that they will build like this when they have money in the future.

Although those villagers didn't want wages, Mo Qiyu didn't have them free in the end.For those who participated, every household gave two catties of meat and a pack of sweets and snacks.

As for Mo's family, Mo Qiyu finally gave a golden lock and sent it to Brother Rong.

After all, it was for Brother Rong, so they didn't refuse.

So far, the house has been built, and my money is gone.For the matter of opening the mountain, I can only get the money from the prefect of Lan.It is not only cooperation, but also his investment.

Mo Qiyu didn't know if there were conflicts in every family, but for him, every villager who came to help was very enthusiastic and worked hard to help build a house.So two days later, he took the deeds to the homes of villagers with young and strong laborers, and hired them to go up the mountain to open up wasteland.

After the autumn planting, it will officially start, 45 wen a day.The only thing is that wages are paid on a monthly basis.

Under normal circumstances, at this moment, everyone is rushing to the town to find some work after the autumn planting, and earn a little bit.Otherwise, when winter comes, there will be no work in the town, so they can only stay at home and eat.If there is no money at all, the winter will be very difficult.

Now the price Mo Qiyu offered was higher than the wages paid to go to the dock in the town.There is no need to run back and forth to the village and town every day, and it is a long-term job.As long as the weather is not as cold as the permafrost, it can work for two months no matter what.Since no one disagrees.

After running around the village several times and returning home, Mo Qiyu slumped on a chair, his face full of exhaustion.After Lin Xu saw it, he dropped the work he was doing, and wiped his face and hands with a towel moistened with water.

He said distressedly: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in such a hurry?"

Mo Qiyu said weakly: "Now that the house is built, we will move in after more than half a month to dry. It's just that the furniture and tea-making needs to be refurbished."

He stood up and took Lin Xu's hand and said, "Tomorrow, you and I will go to the town to find Carpenter Wang to build some furniture. I have drawn all the furniture styles you want, and I will show you later."

"I saw it." Because of the small study, Mo Qiyu often let Lin Xu go in to practice calligraphy.Accidentally, Lin Xu saw it, but: "I think the style of that cabinet is very unique, but I didn't understand it very well."

The first time I saw it, if I don't know much about space geometry, I really can't see it very well.

talking.Mo Qiyu dragged Lin Xu to the study, and explained to him the structure and usage of it.

After listening, Lin Xu was also amazed, and looked at Mo Qiyu admiringly: Why, my husband is so powerful?How did the melon seeds of this little head grow.

Mo Qiyu: It's really cool to use modern knowledge to pretend to be crazy.

Lin Xu suddenly said, "Aniang, did you tell me that you want to buy these furniture?"

"I've said it. A Niang said you can wait for screens and the like. Buy common and practical ones first." Mo Qiyu also said this when he asked Mrs. Cui about the best carpenter in the town.

He avoided Lin Xu because Mo Qiyu's father was a carpenter himself, and now he mentions this because he is afraid that Mrs. Cui will be upset.

Cui was just silent for a while and said that the tables and chairs in her room don't need to be redone.In addition, Carpenter Wang's craftsmanship is also very good.

"But we don't have any money anymore?" Lin Xu said with a sad face.

Mo Qiyu smiled and said, "The book I'm talking about can now get about 10 taels of silver from Boss Feng every month. You don't have to worry about the money needed for the furniture."

After listening to Mo Qiyu's words, Lin Xu was overjoyed at first, then looked at Mo Qiyu, squinted his eyes and asked, "So what you gave me is just a fraction of yours?"

As soon as the words came out, Mo Qiyu hurriedly explained: "This is also the income I just got. After all, the book will only be finished in about February, and you still have to sell things. Naturally, it is just the beginning."

"Really?" Lin Xu had a look of disbelief.

Mo Qiyu pinched his recently swollen cheeks, and said with a smile, "It's more real than real gold, my little husband."

The two were arguing when they heard Cui yelling: "It's time to eat."

With a blushing face, Lin Xu hurried out, picked up the meal for Moxia on the stove and went out.

Although it was usually Lin Xu who sent them off, Cui's behavior felt a little like running away in this behavior.

Looking at his son, Mo Qiyu showed a pure and innocent smile when he saw his mother scrutinizing him.

We are all geniuses in acting.

In mid-September, Uncle Mo came back with some tea trees, and the mountains opened up, so everyone started planting trees.

Of course, Mo Qiyu asked his second uncle to pick a few good hands from the villagers to plant together.It is naturally more expensive than saplings if you buy back an adult tree.

Now is not such a good time as spring, so we still need to take care of it carefully.

It's just that after his tree entered the village, it still attracted the attention of many people.Knowing that he is a scholar and a capable person in the village, seeing him grow tea like this, everyone is curious to see the excitement, and of course there are inquiries.

Mo Qiyu could only be simple and perfunctory. Of course, even if someone wanted to follow suit, as soon as he inquired about the value of the tea tree, he would leave directly.

How can farmers afford such precious things?Even a small number of people think that Mo Qiyu is stupid in reading and reading, and he does not plant the land well, so he insists on doing these moths.

Knowing that Mo Qiyu borrowed the money, many people came to persuade him to live a stable life, how can he pay back so much money he borrowed?

While busy and dealing with these things, Mo Qiyu who went home and lay down on the bed felt very tired.

Looking at Lin Xu who was still mending under the kerosene lamp, Mo Qiyu turned to him and said, "Fu Lang, it's late at night. It won't be good if you burn your eyes like this." He couldn't bear Lin Xu to practice at night. Character.But Lin Xu was fine, his clothes were just a little torn, so he insisted on patching them up.

"It's still close, you go to bed first, I'll be fine here soon." Tomorrow is cooking and doing laundry again, so I really won't be free.

Although they don't have to prepare meals for the villagers in Kaishan, they still have to drink water anyway, right?And his family, Mo's family, and Uncle Mo's family all need them to prepare three meals a day.

However, he has been in close contact with Uncle Mo's family recently, and he sees that the Cui family and Uncle Mo's aunt are no longer at odds with each other.Occasionally, I can hear them discussing a few times.

"But I can't sleep without holding you." Mo Qiyu stared straight at Lin Xu and said without shame.

Lin Xu ignored him, and didn't respond after hearing this too much.Sometimes I feel happy in my heart, and sometimes I wonder, did Mo Qiyu say the same thing to Zhu Yan'er?Recently, this kind of thought has come more and more frequently.

The last time his elder brother came home with a lot of reservations, he was worried and went back to his mother's house to have a look.Hearing his elder brother happily talk about the experience on the road and the scene of soap being popular, I am also very happy.

In the village again, I heard that Zhu Yan'er's parents had returned to the village, and Zhu Yan'er seemed to be coming back too.

At that time, he was panicked, wondering if Zhu Yan'er and Zhou Juren had already left Shanghe Village?I also said that I would not come back, why did I return home so suddenly?How would his brother Yu choose?

He had something on his mind, and his mother saw it again.Lin's mother knew that Mo Qiyu treated Lin Xu very well, but Zhu Yan'er was really beautiful, and Mo Qiyu was very happy with her at that time.Hearing the news that Zhu's family was coming back, Mother Lin couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He also secretly worried that if he had made Lin Xu a girl back then, he wouldn't have to worry about it now.

"Axu, don't mend it. I won't wear it tomorrow..." Before Mo Qiyu could finish his sentence, he saw Lin Xu snapped the thread with his teeth, threw the things away and blew the oil lamp, and went to bed.

Mo Qiyu: ...

Why does this seem to be angry?

"Ash, are you angry?"

Lin Xu pushed away Mo Qiyu's hand on his shoulder, and closed his eyes to ignore him.

Mo Qiyu sighed, and thought about it, it was really wrong to bother Lin Xu all the time when he wasn't working.

Shaking him, he said in a soft voice: "Fu Lang, Xiaosheng knows that he is wrong. I will not bother you when you work in the future, okay?"

Lin Xu angrily turned to look at him and said, "You are not allowed to act like a baby to others in the future."

Mo Qiyu: What I just said was acting like a baby?

Before he could react, he heard Lin Xu say again: "Don't be sweet too."

Although I don't know what provoked him and made him jealous, but Mo Qiyu has always been able to bend and stretch, nodded solemnly and said: "I'm only sweet to you, Axu, and I'm only acting like a baby to you."

Lin Xu whimpered and didn't refute.Looking at Mo Qiyu's loving eyes with a smile, Lin Xu suddenly felt at ease.Burying his head on Mo Qiyu's chest, he found a comfortable position and fell into a deep sleep.

Mo Qiyu left everything to his second uncle and Mo Quan to help watch over the matters such as planting tea trees in the mountains.I went to the town to buy some tools for making essential oils. Of course, he drew the picture and asked someone to make it according to the above picture.

Mo Qiyu and Lin Xu went to the mountain to pick some sweet-scented osmanthus flowers. When the jasmine flowers came back, they soaked them in a water jar, covered them with a cloth towel, turned on the fire, waited for the water vapor containing essential oils to adhere to the cloth towel, and then poured the osmanthus into the water. Squeeze it out.

After a few days, I got a small jar of osmanthus and jasmine essential oils.Mo Qiyu asked Cui Shi to add a few drops when making soap again, and the soap made finally made Cui Shi and Lin Xu couldn't put it down.

It's not even October, and the tea trees brought in from other places have all been planted.Now we can open up wasteland for another month or so, and when winter comes, it will be difficult to continue to work after the soil freezes.

Only then did Mo Qiyu feel more relaxed.By the way, I also moved to a new house, and invited everyone to have a lively meal.

Knowing that he moved to a new house, shopkeeper Qian and Boss Qi also came to congratulate him in a carriage, and Master Zhi also sent a gift.

The red and luxurious high-door building made many people in the village envious.

This day, Mrs. Cui and Mo Sanlang's family went to the market early, and they didn't come back at noon.Mo Qiyu copied a few dishes himself, and asked Lin Xu to call Mo Qiong and his wife.

"The craftsmanship is good, Ayu." Mo Qiong tasted the taste, and it was much more delicious than his aunt and Pingping.

In fact, it's just a little more oil and water.

"Then I'll teach you when I'm free."

"Forget it. I'm fine as a starter. If I really cook, I'm afraid I'll overturn the pot." Mo Qiong refused.

Hearing what he said, Fang Pingping covered her mouth and kept laughing.

Mo Qiyu also stopped his smile, and said seriously: "A few days ago, I made essential oil, put a few drops in soap, the fragrance is very strong, and it can last a long time when washing clothes with it."

"It's so miraculous, show me quickly." Mo Qiong hurriedly begged to see it.

Lin Xu took out two pieces, one was cinnamon and the other was jasmine.

When Mo Qiong and Fang Pingping smelled the soap, they were amazed and praised it a lot.He even asked Mo Qiyu if he wanted some to take home.

Naturally, Mo Qiyu was not reluctant, but seeing how interested they were, Mo Qiyu asked with a smile, "Cousin, would you like to do business with me?"

"What business?" Mo Qiong didn't quite understand, and asked simply with wide eyes.

Fang Pingping pushed him and said with a smile: "Of course I am willing. I just don't know how to do it?"?
