Farming and teaching across different worlds

What Jun Hui sent was just in time.Ji Xiuran picked the peach blossoms, put them in the wine, and buried the finished wine jars underground for storage.In a few days, when other fruit trees bloom, he will make other wines. There are many fruit trees on his mountain, including pear trees and apricot trees, all of which can be made into flower wine.

Shi Jingchen had already dug the lotus pond and filled it with water. Shi Jingchen also built the pavilion beside the pond for Ji Xiuran, and Ji Xiuran planted the sprouting lotus in it.

Ji Xiuran asked Shi Jingchen to help him catch some fish fry and shrimps and throw them into the lotus pond.

After he was done with that, he started working on what he had been planning.He asked Shi Jingchen to take him to inspect the nearest few mountains, hoping to find a unique scenery among them.Now the people coming and going in their village are all because of the stone bridge, and after the novelty of the stone bridge wears off, their village will return to its previous desolation. This is not a good thing for their village and Ji Xiuran, so he wants to build a green hill The unique scenery of the village can be attractive, so that Qingshan Village will have a bargaining chip when it develops.When their village develops, he will be able to attract students by running a college in the future.

There are bamboo forests on several hills in his place, and there are all mountains here. Although the bamboo forest is beautiful, it is not a special scenery in their place.

In fact, the climate here is very good. There are many trees and flowers on the mountain. The flowers bloom in spring and summer. It is very beautiful, but because there is no manual care, it is not scaled, so it is not so amazing.He has been wandering around the surrounding hills with Shi Jingchen for the past two days. Although he thinks that many of the hills are beautiful, he has not found the most distinctive place in his mind.

He and Shi Jingchen took a few villagers to walk up the mountain along the road up the Daqing Mountain. Daqing Mountain is a mountain range composed of peaks. Before he followed Shi Jingchen, he had already gone to the side of the surrounding hills, and there was nothing there. After finding the scenery he was satisfied with, he went up the mountain from the other side this time. This road is rarely traveled, and the road is very rough. When he climbed to a relatively gentle slope, Ji Xiuran was also tired. Fortunately, he followed Shi Jingchen during this time. After climbing a lot of mountains, it was only possible to persist for such a long time now. Shi Jingchen saw that he was really tired, so he stopped and said, "Take a rest." stand up.

Ji Xiuran knew that Shi Jingchen asked for a rest to take care of himself, smiled at him, found a place to sit down, patted the seat beside him, and motioned for Shi Jingchen to sit down, and Shi Jingchen sat down.Ji Xiuran said to him: "Third brother, have you been to this place before, do you know what's ahead?"

"I haven't been here before, I don't know." Shi Jingchen usually walks into the deep mountains, and the prey on the outer hills is rare, so he rarely comes here.The few other people have never been here. There is no prey on this mountain, and wild vegetables and fruits are very scarce. The most are rocks. Usually, few people will come here.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuran stopped talking and rested peacefully, looking at the surrounding scenery from time to time, he inadvertently turned his head to the left, and found that something was wrong, there seemed to be a road in the grass over there.He stood up and walked over there, Shi Jingchen also followed.

This road is too hidden, and I don't know how long no one has walked it. Weeds are overgrown, and various shrubs and vines grow lushly.It was a bit strenuous to walk.

The few people walked all the way and found nothing special, but when they turned around a mountain wall and saw the open space in front of them and the century-old trees standing upright, they were all stunned by the beautiful scenery they saw.

The flat top of the mountain seems to have been flattened. There are no other trees on the top of the mountain except for the poinciana tree. Looking down from the edge of the mountain, it is surrounded by smoke and clouds, like a fairyland. Looking from a distance, the view is excellent. The mountain peak It is also faint, and the surrounding clouds and mists are so beautiful that even the huge boulder on the top of the highest mountain in the distance can be seen clearly.

Ji Xiuran happily said to Shi Jingchen: "Third brother, this place is so beautiful, it will definitely attract many people to come."

Shi Jingchen looked at the joyful Ji Xiuran and nodded gently. He also thought this place was beautiful. In the past, his knowledge of Daqingshan was only limited to the abundant supplies he could provide. Today, he just met her beauty, and he was very impressed.

And that poinciana tree looks like it should have a history of a hundred years. In the whole area, there is just one tree standing on the edge of the cliff. When it blooms, it will be full of red. It must be picturesque and unique to this place.

……

The wild fruits in the mountains have begun to ripen one after another. A new round of winemaking work is about to be prepared. He and Shi Jingchen drove their own carriage to the county seat. He has not been here for two months. He has completed the article he assigned, and this time I will bring it to my husband for comment.

Mr. Xi happened to be taking a rest that day, so he met Ji Xiuran and the two at his home.Ji Xiuran gave the pheasants, hares, and wild mushrooms that he brought to his teacher to his wife, and then he was called into the study by his husband to teach him his homework.Shi Jingchen was waiting for him outside the study.

The teacher's wife brought Shi Jingchen a cup of tea and put it on the stone table outside the study.Sit down and talk to Shi Jingchen: "Old Xi has been looking forward to Xiuran's arrival for the past few days. The books that Xiuran brought to him before made him read so much that he forgot to eat and sleep. He didn't let go when he was eating. It's like being stunned." .” Shi Jingchen sat there quietly and listened carefully.

The teacher's wife also knew Shi Jingchen's temperament, so she didn't expect any response from him, and continued: "Xiu Ran is the most talented student that Lao Xi has taught over the years, and Lao Xi has high expectations of him." Shi Jingchen Nodding in agreement, Xiu Ran is indeed very smart and will definitely be promising in the future.

After Ji Xiuran was tortured, he came out and saw such a scene, the teacher sat there and kept talking, Shi Jingchen sat opposite and listened carefully, but didn't say a word, and actually nodded slightly by accident.

Looking at him, he burst out laughing.The two people at the stone table looked over when they heard the voice, only to realize that they had been chatting harmoniously for more than an hour.

It was late, and Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen didn't stay for dinner, so they hurriedly left to go shopping, and they had to hurry back today.

After buying all the pottery urns and sugar for wine making, some rice, meat, vegetables, and some snacks, I headed home.

When the house was being built, Ji Xiuran asked Shi Jingchen to help him build a large cellar with enough space for a hundred large pottery urns. There were fifteen at home before, and this time he bought another twenty-five for use first. Not enough to buy again.

After Ji Xiuran went back, he called Da Qing to him.At this time, Da Qing, who had just finished class, had already finished his homework, and played with his little friends in the open space next to Ji Xiuran's house.This sepak takraw ball was also given to him by Ji Xiuran, who also gave them the football rules. Now this kind of sepak takraw ball game is the favorite game of the children in Qingshan Village.

Especially those children in the small class, after school every day, they will make an appointment to play football in this place.When Ji Xiuran made the sepak takraw ball, he tidied up the field by the way, and set up a simple goal on both sides.This area became the football field for these children.

Ji Xiuran wanted them to exercise their bodies. After all, taking part in the imperial examinations would require physical strength. He didn't want these children to die in the examination room due to physical reasons like the original owner.

When Daqing was called back, he was galloping on the field, sweating all over his face, Ji Xiuran gave him a cloth towel, asked him to wipe his sweat, and then took a rest, and only talked to him when he was breathing well.

"Qingyun, organize your little friends to go to my mountain to help pick fruits, ten catties and two cents, be careful not to rotten ones."

"Uncle, I see. I'll tell them in a while."

"Okay, you can also come to me to get paid for the fruits you pick yourself. Take your younger siblings to pick them together. Go, remember to sweat before going to the river to take a bath, and don't go to places where the water is deep." Ji Xiuran finally confessed a few words , let the person go.

After Daqing went out, he passed the word to his friends, and after returning home, he also told his sister and younger siblings.Several children also said that they would go to the mountain to pick fruit.

After the children had nothing to do the next afternoon, they gathered at Ji Xiuran's gate with their baskets, and Shi Jingchen took them to pick fruit.

Erhong was too young and stumbled when she walked, so Dahong took her by the hand and led her away.After arriving at the place, Shi Jingchen told them to pay attention to the fruits to be picked and to be safe when picking them, and let them do it by themselves. He was worried about Erhong, so he took Erhong with him and let Dahong go to pick another place by himself.The work efficiency of the children was quite high. There were not so many ripe fruits at this time, and they were almost picked in a short time. Shi Jingchen took the people back and weighed them one by one.

Afterwards, Ji Xiuran released the news of harvesting wild fruits, the price was the same as last year, as long as someone brought it to him, he would accept it.When the villagers are free during this period, they go to the mountains to pick wild fruits and send them to him to buy.

In this way, five pottery urns of fruit were finally collected.

Chapter 38

The idle Ji Xiuran finally had time to think about new money-making ideas. Even if Zeng Junhui didn't give it to him, he would still find new jobs for the family who opened the milling workshop with him before. Stopped, the family members were anxious, but they couldn't show it on the face, every day when they saw Ji Xiuran's expression, they felt a little embarrassed, they didn't know how to speak, and seeing Ji Xiuran felt uncomfortable for them.

Moreover, Ji Xiuran knew that Ji's father and mother were equally anxious, but
