Defeat natural disasters with farming

Don't tell me, there are quite a few people in the village who are discussing the matter of studying. They thought that peasant children didn't have the right to study, so they might as well help the family with more work.

But nowadays, besides farming, every family can also do business. Even if they sell tofu to Li’s restaurants, they need family members to be able to count. You can’t always ask others to help you; let alone carry the tofu basket out by yourself. The sellers are gone, and they have to recognize a few words more or less.

In fact, to support a scholar, the most expensive thing is not Shuxiu, but pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as travel expenses for exams and various banquets again and again. In short, the imperial examination is very expensive, not simply study.

If you only think about studying for the sake of knowing a few words, it will be different, especially when Ye Tongsheng stipulated that Shuxiu is not expensive, for the villagers of Yejia Village, this deal is still very cost-effective. After all, people who can read and count always live a more decent life than others.

Because of this, more and more people went to Ye Tongsheng to sign up in private, which made him quite gratified. Although he never thought that there would be smoke from the ancestral grave in the village, and there would be a juren, but studying is better than studying. Don't read well.

Father Ye was no exception. He brought a pair of chickens and ducks and a tael of silver to visit Ye Tongsheng as Ye Yu's Shuxiu for half a year. When he came back, he also happily announced that next spring, Ye Yu would marry Ye He , Ye Jing enrolled together.

It's a long story, but in fact, it was only resolved within two or three days, and then came the day when Ye Cheng got married.

Wearing red wedding dresses, the young couple worshiped the heaven and the earth under the witness of the guests, the second worshiped the high hall, the husband and wife bowed to each other, and finally sent to the bridal chamber.

It's not over yet, after they finished their cup of wine, they had to change into auspicious clothes and come to the front hall to thank their relatives and friends.

It was the first time Ye Yu saw the face of Ye Cheng's daughter-in-law. She looked very majestic. She had an oval face and red phoenix eyes. She could not be said to be very beautiful, but she looked very comfortable. She belonged to the type that was favored by elders.

As for the attitude, anyway, with a smile on his face, nothing can be seen.

Ye Cheng's family attached great importance to the eldest grandson's marriage, and bought half a pig to hold the banquet.

But this may not be a good thing, didn't you see that the brothers who are about the same age as Ye Cheng are jealous?There is a saying that is good, don't worry about scarcity but inequality, and inequality is the root of disaster.

In the eyes of the villagers of Yejia Village, the banquet was really rich enough, but Ye Yu seemed not so satisfied when he saw Ye Cheng's wife and brother.

Qian Youcai was really not satisfied. Originally he thought that if his sister married, Ye Jiahe would happily give him the tofu recipe, but recently he tried again and again, but he couldn't get a word right.

Looking at the lively scene at the banquet, he couldn't help cursing inwardly. They are all short-sighted. If this tofu recipe can get into his hands, he can change its name to something like "Hanjiang Yulu" and entrust Beijing If the in-laws in the palace show their skills in front of the prime minister, they may be able to spread to the palace, and maybe they can even get an imperial business brand.

Thinking of this, he wanted to curse again, how could this group of country folks be so lucky to get tofu recipes.

The other people at the table didn't know that Qian Youcai had thought so much in such a short period of time. They were purely happy, and one by one made a fuss with the groom's official, making them all blush.

Ye Yu was eating at this time, thinking that there seemed to be something missing in the table, but he hadn't thought of what it was missing for a while.

Until his uncle put down the bowl and said regretfully: "Eating meat without wine is not enough."

Uncle's words made Ye Yu suddenly think of what was missing at the banquet, the lack of wine!

At this time, Mrs. Ye gave her husband a white look, "It's good to have something to eat. You think our village is so rich, how can there be so much wine with food."

Today's wine is mostly brewed from grains. Distiller's yeast is made by fermenting wheat, barley, soybeans and other grains. While the yield is low, there are also many impurities. It is called "turbid wine". This kind of wine must be boiled once to remove impurities. Enhance taste.

Things like "warming wine and killing Huaxiong" and "green plums cooking wine on heroes" refer to such turbid wine.

As for the famous families, it is not turbid wine, but sake that has been squeezed and filtered. The color is clear, the taste is mellow, and even the smell is fragrant.

However, this kind of wine has a big disadvantage, that is, the yield is low and the price is expensive, and farmers are reluctant to drink it, thinking that it is wasting food.

Ye Yu thought about it, and when he got home, he checked to see if there were any knowledge books about wine making in the space. Although this thing is not a good thing, people who love it love it very much. Of course, people who hate it also hate it.

He put this matter in the bottom of his heart first, and now there are one, two, three, and four items in the notepad in his mind, which are all things to be done next.

A wedding has come to an end.

The villagers went back to their homes.

After the Ye family returned home, Boss Ye poured a glass of water first, smacked his lips and said, "Our boss is almost getting married."

Ye Hai turned fourteen during the Chinese New Year, and peasants usually get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen. After all, it's time for him to talk about marriage next year, and when the talk is over, the day of marriage is just around the corner.

Mrs. Ye gave him a disgusted look, "You don't pay attention to anything all day long. A few days ago, a matchmaker came to kiss him. She just said that the family style is not good, so my mother and I refused."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Ye coughed twice, and said seriously: "Our family is not the kind of family that climbs the dragon and the phoenix. Whether it is marrying a wife or a daughter, we all require a family tradition. It's not that good, at least not lazy. , be diligent.

In addition, more and more family members will be visible to the naked eye. As the saying goes, teeth can still touch lips. The family will inevitably stumble, but after all, we must remember home and everything is going well. "

As for the separation, the old couple never thought about it. The two of them are still there, so how can they separate?

Now these people in the family have been together for many years and have gotten along well with each other, but if the grandchildren get married, I don't know if something unpleasant will happen.

After hearing these words, the people below all nodded.

Even Ye's father and Ye's mother don't really want to separate the family for the time being. Their family has only one child, Brother Bao, who is still weak after all. It won't be too late to discuss the separation of the family after the children are older in a few years.

"Brother Hai's marriage is not in a hurry. When the eldest brother and the third child go to the county town, they will take him with them and ask him to meet the world first."

Mrs. Ye has always believed that boys cannot stay at home forever. When the eldest and second child were in their teens, she specially asked someone to take them to the county town as apprentices, but they didn't know anything about it. I didn’t learn it, oh, no, the boss, the carpenter didn’t learn it, but learned the skill of weaving baskets with one hand, and the second child met his father-in-law and learned the skill of setting traps.

Needless to say, the third child, after serving in the military, now seems to be the most capable in the family.

The Ye family brothers responded one after another.

When they were gone, Ye Yu and the others were busy putting the sun-dried earthworms into the livestock's food bowls in batches, and when they were put in the last few, Ye Jing sighed: "Hurry up, there are only so much left, and then we will eat them." You will have no earthworms to eat."

Earthworms cannot be dug up in the weather when dripping water turns into ice.

Xinghua squatted down and touched the duck's head, "It's not that there are other feeds, and they can't be hungry."

"I can't be hungry, but the eggs they lay are not so big!" Ye Jing thought about the big eggs and duck eggs, and looked very resentful, "My grandma said, save a few more duck eggs and make salted duck eggs for me to eat. With duck eggs and stick porridge, I can drink three bowls in one go."

Xinghua glanced at her brother in distaste, "It's not that exaggerated." Anyway, she couldn't tell the difference between the eggs laid by ducks that ate earthworms and those that didn't.

Ye Yu was not worried at all, "Isn't there still bean dregs and bone meal? It's almost the same as earthworms."

Most people in the village don't need bean dregs, and the Ye family can get a lot of them at a small price, enough to feed the livestock.

In fact, digging earthworms is a task assigned to them by the adults of the Ye family in order to consume the energy of a few children. It is of course good if they can be dug up, but it is okay if they cannot be dug up.

Ye Jing thought about it too, he stopped worrying all of a sudden, and continued to stare happily at the chickens and ducks eating feed, if the chickens and ducks were wise, they would probably be frightened by his staring.

Xinghua didn't want to play with her brother who only knew how to eat, so she stood up and waved to Ye Yu, "I'm going to play with sister Xiu."

Sister Xiu is her little friend, and they are very close.

As soon as she left, another head poked out from the corner, it was Ye He, "Brother Quan's dog is available to choose, do you two want to take a look together?"

Brother Quan's real name is Ye Shuan, and his family has two dogs, one male and one female. They were successfully bred some time ago, and they said they would give them away after they were born. Their family also ordered one.

"Let's go, let's go." Ye Yu couldn't stay any longer when he heard that. He has always liked dogs, and he doesn't like dogs bred abroad. He prefers Chinese dogs, and Ye Shuan's dog is a real dog Eight classic hounds.

Ye Jing shook his head and said that he would not go.

Ye He said cheerfully on the road: "I made an agreement with Brother Quan, let our family choose the first one, but we must choose the strongest one."

The hounds on their side can usually give birth to more than a dozen dogs in one litter, which is quite a number, but the strongest ones are often only a few.

Ye Shuan was waiting at the door early, and when he saw Ye Yu and the other two coming, he hurried over and said, "Come on, this tiger has given birth to ten, I think two of them are the best, you choose quickly, don't let others Robbed.

Huzi is a yellow hound with drooping ears, curly tail and wide mouth. It can't be called cute, but its slightly square face is [-]% mighty. It is lying in the den at this time, licking the fur of the puppy that is drinking milk under it.

Among the ten puppies, five followed the mother with yellow fur, three followed the father with black coat, and the remaining two were white and black and white.

At a glance, Ye Yu found that two of them were obviously much bigger than his brothers.

When Hu Zi saw strangers coming in, he immediately raised his head, staring at them vigilantly with a pair of dark almond eyes. If Ye Shuan hadn't followed him and smelled the familiar smell, he might have had to stand up.

As for the other black hound, it had stood upright long ago, with its paws together and its chin raised high, looking silent and vigilant.

"Good dog." Ye Yu couldn't help admiring, the grandparents' genes are particularly good, as long as they are trained well, these puppies will definitely not lose to their parents.
