Farming and teaching across different worlds

Some cold feelings are not gentle and considerate people.Because of this, the little concern he shows at any time is so precious. Of course Shi Jingchen understands what kind of person Ji Xiuran is, and also knows how precious his concern is, so he cherishes it even more.

After resting with Shi Jingchen for a while, Ji Xiuran wanted to go back after they started working again. Shi Jingchen didn't let him take the basket and water bottle away, saying that he would just take them back when he went back. Going back, he did not go back the same way, but went back another way, walked along the river to the bridgehead, where there were many old women and aunts from the village sitting under the big banyan tree at the bridgehead, chatting while being female.That place has become a new gathering place for the villagers.

Aunt Zhou who was sitting under the tree saw Ji Xiuran approaching, stopped what she was doing and said to him, "Xiu Ran, come for a walk again."

"Yeah, walking around is good for your health. How about Auntie and Auntie enjoying the cool here?"

"Yes, this place is cool and clean. We all like to sit here." Aunt Wu next to him also stopped to talk to him.The other aunts also stopped to echo Aunt Wu's words.

Ji Xiuran nodded and said hello to each of them before continuing to move forward.

After Ji Xiuran left, several aunts began to talk about him, "What a good boy, and he has a reputation as a scholar, what a pity."

"What a pity you have. People are living a good life. What a pity."

"I don't think it's a pity that I couldn't kiss my niece."

"Indeed, it's a pity when you say it. My niece from my natal family is also about the same age as Xiu Ran."

"That's right. It's a pity that Er Niu is also a good guy, and he is good at hunting."

Aunt Zhou who was next to her rolled her eyes when she heard what they were talking more and more outrageous. Those who didn't know thought that your niece was so good. Erniu and Xiuran are doing so well now. If there is no Erniu, I don’t know if Xiuran can grow up to such a big age. And I think the two of them are living very well now, so don’t speak sourly here. Why didn't you say that when Xiuran was sick and couldn't get up?"

"We know, just talking casually." The aunts quickly stopped talking and continued to work with their heads down.

Ji Xiuran detoured from the small road at the head of the bridge to the foot of Daqing Mountain, and then detoured from the other side to the door of the house.After he got home, he wrote down the plan he had thought about while walking, and went to the kitchen to make braised pork for Shi Jingchen.In fact, Shi Jingchen is not picky about food, as long as it is made by Ji Xiuran, he likes to eat anything, but relatively speaking, he prefers meat, and among these meats, his favorite is braised pork, but the difference is very small, and it was discovered by Ji Xiuran up.

When Ji Xiuran finished cooking, Shi Jingchen just came back.The family gathers around the table for dinner.

Chapter 37

Zeng Junhui, who had been busy for a while, finally found time and came to Qingshan Village in a carriage. When he arrived at the stone bridge, he couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out. He also heard that Ji Xiuran designed and built a stone arch bridge, which was not easy. This time he came here for the first time since he came here on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It was the first time he saw the new bridge after it was repaired. The stone arch bridges I have seen are different.

For this bridge, he is very happy. With this bridge, it will be more convenient for him to do business in the future. Before he came to transport vermicelli and so on, he had to go from Lijiazhuang, three miles away, and deliver things to Ji Xiuran. It was also very laborious at the time, but it is much more convenient now.When he came this time, he also brought over 20 jugs of wine to Ji Xiuran. Ji Xiuran had sent him a message before, asking him to bring some spirits. Ji Xiuran wanted to develop new wine products.He will always attach great importance to Ji Xiuran's request, and he is also looking forward to the new things that Ji Xiuran makes. This time, besides giving things, he also wants to see if Ji Xiuran has any new ideas. In addition to making two new candies during this period of time In addition, drinks and vermicelli are all consuming the remaining inventory from the previous year, and judging from this, his remaining inventory will not last long.For him, these are not enough, and new ideas are urgently needed to support the appearance.

Zeng Junhui came to the door of Ji Xiuran's house in a carriage, and started to shout loudly before entering the door: "Brother Xiuran, I'm here, you have to entertain me with something good, let's see what good things I brought you."

At this time, Ji Xiuran had just finished class and was sitting in the yard drinking tea and resting. He came out to greet him when he heard the noise. He jumped off the carriage excitedly and showed off as he walked. The romantic boy holding a folding fan, and then look at this funny face with a frightened face, the style of this painting has changed so that people can't complain.

Ji Xiuran tried his best to ignore the fluctuations in his heart, and calmly said to Zeng Junhui: "Brother Zeng, long time no see."

"Haha, Brother Xiu Ran, long time no see, look what I brought you." He pointed to the carriage behind him.

Ji Xiuran looked over and saw nothing special, and asked, "What good thing?"

"It's the carriage. And the things on the carriage." Zeng Junhui said to Ji Xiuran with a proud face.

Ji Xiuran's eyes lit up when he heard what he said. The carriage is indeed a good thing. Before that, he thought about buying a horse to keep it. It's a pity that this kind of war supplies are strictly controlled by the imperial court. He, a little scholar, has no way at all. I bought it, but I didn't expect Zeng Junhui to bring him a horse this time. This gift really suits his wishes.

"Brother Zeng, thank you, it is indeed a good thing. Today I cooked some good dishes, why don't you have a drink? I still have a bottle of good wine here." Ji Xiuran is in a good mood, so naturally he will not treat Zeng Junhui badly. He was naturally very satisfied with entertaining him, and the good horse he had spent so much effort to get was worth it.

Drive the carriage behind him to the backyard, where the wine on the cart has to be unloaded, Ji Xiuran watched the coachman drive the horses to the stables to settle down, and then returned to the front yard with peace of mind.Fortunately, he wanted to buy a horse before, so he built a stable specially, thinking that he could use it as a warehouse without a horse, and now it comes in handy.

Ji Xiuran was in a good mood, and for the first time made Zeng Junhui a cup of new tea that he roasted himself. The tea that Shi Jingchen picked for him from the mountains were all grown on old trees. Although the roasting technique was unskilled, the quality of the finished product was still top-notch , not much worse than those top-quality green teas in the tea house.

The brewed tea was clear and fragrant. Zeng Junhui picked up the cup, put it under his nose and smelled it, closed his eyes and enjoyed it, and then took a sip. Spreading from the throat to the whole body, I couldn't help but sighed comfortably, "Good tea, but the heat of your fried tea has been reduced a lot, oops, what a waste of money, if you give me these teas, I will find If someone helps you fry it, you will definitely be able to make super high-quality tea, which is no worse than tribute tea." Zeng Junhui began to criticize after enjoying it.

When Ji Xiuran heard what he said, he rolled his eyes at him, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of his words, but dared to despise Shi Jingchen's craftsmanship, even if he had extra tea leaves, he would not give him.

"Brother Ji, we are good brothers, right? Then you must be very loyal, so..." Zeng Junhui ordered some teacups and gave Ji Xiuran a look.Seeing his frightened look, Ji Xiuran didn't want to talk to him at all.

"This year's tea is out of season. If you want it, you can only wait for next year. However, the quantity of these teas is limited, and the quantity given to you is also limited. You must be mentally prepared."

"Oh, doing business with you, that's it, everything is limited."

"If you have an opinion, you don't have to, I don't mind." Ji Xiuran saw that he was acting like a good boy after getting a bargain, his teeth itch a little.

Once Zeng Junhui heard his words, he didn't dare to do it again. Most of the things in his store now came from Ji Xiuran, and he wanted to get some new things from him in the future.He didn't dare to offend his big partner.

"Brother Xiuran, do you have any new money-making ideas recently? It hasn't been released for half a year. My shop has been living on its laurels. It won't work if it continues like this. We think it's a partnership business, so you have to be careful." If you have money, everyone can earn it together." Zeng Junhui explained his intentions while sipping tea, the two were so familiar, he didn't beat around the bush, but said it directly.

Ji Xiuran pondered for a while and said, "Recently I've been busy with my studies and school affairs, and I didn't take your side into account. It's not so easy to come up with good ideas, but I promise you, think about it for a while, and when you have it, you will come up with a good idea." Send you a letter, don't be in a hurry, you have to eat every bite, and you have to earn money bit by bit, so it's better to be safe."

Zeng Junhui nodded after listening to his words, as if he agreed with his point of view. He was indeed a little impatient during this period of time, always thinking of eating into a big fat man in one go. Today, when he heard Ji Xiuran's words, he suddenly realized that he was indeed a little aggressive before. .Afterwards, the two talked about the business of the store, and then Ji Xiuran entertained Zeng Junhui with good wine and food.

Zeng Junhui, who was full of food and drink, planned to go back and continue to struggle. Although there was nothing new for him to take away this time, he did not leave empty-handed. He brought the dried bamboo shoots, dried vegetables and mushrooms that were drying in the yard of Ji's house. Walked a large part.The angry Ji Xiuran really wanted to break up with him.

Ji Xiuran made peach blossom wine from the more than 20 altars of spirits that Zeng Junhui brought to him. During this season, the several peach blossoms he went up the mountain were in bloom, and the peach blossoms would wither in a few days.
