Farming and teaching across different worlds

.

However, it was only when I finished it, I gave them a try, and they all put it away.

Said to wait until the Chinese New Year to wear it, but it is still several months away from the Chinese New Year.

Ji Xiuran was also very helpless towards the frugal habits of the Ji family.

If he buys cloth again this time, he will definitely be scolded by Ji's mother, so it's better not to buy anything.

In addition to these, he also bought ten large pottery urns.

After selling the sugar recipe to Zeng Junhui, he had to find another way to make money.

He had taken a fancy to the yellow paozi that was everywhere in the mountains and plains before. This kind of wild fruit has a habit similar to that of grapes and is very suitable for wine making.

This time I bought these pottery urns, just to try to brew Huangpaozi wine.

In the book of memory, there are complete recipes for home-made wine, and he can use these recipes to try.

After shopping, the two drove the rented ox cart and headed home.

These ten large pottery urns had to be taken to Lijiazhuang, ten miles away, and carried across the river with the big logs from there. After they returned, they could pick them up at Lijiazhuang.

He gave a sum of money to the clerk in the pottery urn shop and asked him to find someone to help deliver it.

He and Shi Jingchen took other things and headed for Qingshan Village.

When I got to the Wenshui River, I saw that Uncle Li was already waiting on the bank of the river.

Looks like it's been a while.

Uncle Li estimated that they would be able to return in a few days, so he would be here waiting for them in the next few days.

After hearing this, Ji Xiuran felt warm and comfortable in his heart, took out the snacks he bought, and gave a pack to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li refused for a while, seeing that Ji Xiuran was so persistent, in the end Uncle Li had no choice but to accept, but he did not ask for their boat money.

The two of them stayed in the county for so many days, Ji's father and Ji's mother were very worried, and sent the Ji's brothers to the river every day to have a look.

When they came by boat today, they happened to meet two people. Brother Ji and Brother Ji saw that they had taken so many things, so they hurried forward, took the things, and the group walked home in a mighty manner.

After Ji Xiuran got home, he handed over the bought meat to Mother Ji, and then talked to Father Ji about having a banquet.

Father Ji nodded in agreement and said, "It's time to entertain the villagers, but we must prepare well. Tomorrow, let your eldest brother and Er Niu go hunting for some game on the mountain, and let your second brother go to the town to buy some things. Prepare well. There will be a banquet the day after tomorrow. I will ask your mother to prepare some good dishes and invite some old guys from the village to dinner. By the way, let me tell you about the banquet, but there are some old people in the village, so you need to invite them yourself. You make a list, tomorrow you go door to door to invite."

Ji Xiuran understood this truth, nodded, and agreed with Father Ji's arrangement.

Although he bought a lot of things in the town before, after all, he had no experience and couldn't buy all the things.

So if there are some that are missing, it will take some time to go to the town to buy them all.

After Father Ji finished his arrangements, Ji Xiuran took the list made by Father Ji, went back to his room, and re-wrote the greeting card for tomorrow.

Chapter 19

Shi Jingchen went to Lijiazhuang to pick up the goods with the elder brother and the second elder brother of the Ji family.

Ji's mother cleaned up all the meat he bought, otherwise it would not be safe. Although it is early autumn, the temperature is still very high, and meat is still unavoidable.

This time, Ji Xiuran thought of a treat, so he bought more, five catties of five flowers, five catties of fat meat, and ten catties of bones.

Ji's mother took out a piece of pork belly and fried a few dishes, and made a dish of braised pork according to the method Ji Xiuran said.

He also brought out a jar of wine. The vegetables, meat and wine were all ready, so Father Ji went to call the village head and some old people in the village to drink.

When Shi Jingchen and the Ji family brothers came back, these old people were drinking happily. Father Ji was in a good mood, so he drank too much. When they came back, they saw that Father Ji was a little drunk.

After they were full and the Ji family brothers and Shi Jingchen sent everyone away one by one, the Ji family began to eat.

At this time, Father Ji had already been helped to the bed and fell asleep.

Ji Xiuran didn't eat it before, but now he eats it with them.

He took out another jug ​​of wine, poured a bowl for Brother Ji and Brother Ji, and a bowl for Shi Jingchen.

With a sincere face, he said: "Brother, second brother, you two will have a bowl today, and I will ask the third brother to serve a bowl for me. Thank you for taking care of my brother over the years."

"Why does the youngest say these things? We are your older brothers, and we should do those things. Don't talk about these birthright words in the future."

As the eldest son of the family, Brother Ji has always regarded it as his responsibility to take care of his younger brother. Today, Ji Xiuran made it clear that he felt a little ashamed.

And in his opinion, what he did was taken for granted, who made him a big brother.

Brother Ji also echoed Brother Ji's words.

"Okay, I'll stop talking, let's drink." Ji Xiuran stopped being pretentious, picked up his teacup, replaced wine with tea, and respected his two elder brothers.

The next day, Ji's family began to prepare the ingredients for the banquet, and Ji's mother called a few nimble women from the village to help.

The wild game hunted by a few people from the mountains, skinned and plucked in advance, cleaned up, and cooked directly tomorrow.

Ji Xiuran dressed neatly and went to each house to deliver invitations, and personally invited the old ladies and gentlemen of each house.

Soon it was the day of the banquet, and almost all the villagers came.

Those old masters that Ji Xiuran personally invited arrived even earlier.

Ji's father asked Ji Xiuran to make tea and deliver it to the old masters, and talked with them before the banquet.

When everyone is ready and the dishes are ready, the banquet will be announced.

The dishes that Ji's family cooked this time were hard dishes, and the mouths of the people at the banquet were full of greasy food.

Seeing Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen who were toasting everywhere, they not only sighed in their hearts, the days of the Ji family are getting better and better.

The banquet was busy all day before it ended, and Ji Xiuran, the main character, followed suit all day. After the banquet ended at night, he felt that he was about to fall apart.

After Shi Jingchen helped clean up the tables and chairs, he went to the kitchen and boiled water for him so that he could take a good hot bath.

After taking a bath, Ji Xiuran felt better.

This busy life has finally come to an end.

……

After a while, it will be August, and Qingshan Village will enter the busy season of farming.

Ji Xiuran took advantage of the fact that no one in the village was busy these days, so he started collecting yellow bubbles.

At the price of ten catties and one penny, a basket can cost almost five pennies, and the villagers are very willing to do it.

In this way, all the yellow paozi needed were collected in two days.

Then the whole family is busy together, preparing to brew.

Use the same brewing method as homemade wine, except that after a month of preliminary fermentation, filter out the sundries and heat it over water.

In this way, a vacuum environment can be created to avoid deterioration, after all, it is a sealed technology in this era.Not quite up to par.

The Ji family completely indulges and trusts Ji Xiuran, he will do whatever he says and will not object, and they have always helped him to do everything well.

So Ji Xiuran proposed to brew wine. Although the Ji family thought it was unreliable, they all followed his advice and did the job well.

Even the juniors in the family were helping, but it was Ji Xiuran who just moved his mouth from beginning to end.

It's not that Ji Xiuran doesn't want to contribute, but that Ji's family members are like porcelain dolls, guarding him carefully, not wanting him to be tired, and stopping him when he makes a move, which makes Ji Xiuran feel helpless.

The finished yellow paozi wine is put in the utility room in the backyard, waiting for fermentation.

During this period, people still sent yellow paozi over one after another, and Ji Xiuran also accepted them.

However, this part is not made into wine because there is no container.

He made some juice and sent it to Zeng Junhui, and tried to make the rest into cans.

During this period, Shi Jingchen not only helped Ji Xiuran with the wine making, but also found time to talk to some good brothers in the village about making deck chairs and rocking chairs.

He planned to bring everyone together to make chairs and sell them as soon as Ji Xiuran's work was over.

Although he did not learn carpentry from a serious carpenter, he is still skilled.

Other carpenters in the village are also skilled in the same way as him.

Although it is not very professional, it is enough to make a chair, but the things made are not so beautiful, after all, they don't know the carving skills of those carpenters.

But Li Erhu is indeed a serious carpenter, and his skills are nothing to say, and he can do fine work.

After talking to Ji Xiuran before, Shi Jingchen also thought about it carefully.

If he wants to make a lot of money at a time, he must ensure both quantity and quality.

In this case, it must be practical and beautiful.

Therefore, Li Erhu, a professional, must be hired, and the others are all skilled carpenters.

He had to find such a skilled hand to drive out and sell this batch of goods before the busy farming season.

After Ji Xiuran knew about Shi Jingchen's plan, he gave him 50 taels of silver.

He has to make so many chairs, it is not enough to go to the mountains to find wood.

It is best to use wood that has been dried in the shade for more than three years for the wood that is made of furniture.

But such wood on the mountain is limited, and the newly cut wood cannot be used, so they can only go outside to buy ready-made wood.

This is why Ji Xiuran gave him the money.

It's just that such a large sum of money not only bought all the wood for the chair.

The wood they will need to build a new house in the future, the wood for new furniture, and the wood for the tables and chairs they will use to open the school in the future have all been prepared at one time.

The 100 taels of silver are so durable, Ji Xiuran can't help feeling that wood in this era is really cheap.

After Shi Jingchen prepared the wood, he gathered a few people in the old house and started making rocking chairs and reclining chairs.

Wang Dazhu looked at a hand made by himself
