Farming and teaching across different worlds

People who are idle have spare money and novel food, so they will definitely be willing to spend money.

Ji Xiuran made sour plum soup, added tangerine peel and hawthorn, which has a richer taste, better than ordinary sour plum soup, and quenches thirst.He also asked Father Ji to put it in the well to chill before selling it. In addition to this, he also made mung bean paste and yellow paozi juice. When he set up the stall on the first day, he sold twenty A dozen cups of sour plum soup, mung bean paste and fruit juice were also sold. Not only foreigners came to buy it, but also children in the village wanted to drink it when they saw it was delicious. bought them.

The people in the village saw that Ji's stall was really making money, and some people came out to set up stalls one after another. They bought everything, most of them bought food, and the several of them also discussed it, and put out kimchi to set up stalls. But they are separate stalls, not with other people.Some villagers didn't have anything to sell, so they put the wild game they picked up from the mountains for sale. The effect was unexpectedly good, and a lot of them were sold, mainly because the price was very reasonable.

When people in Qingshan Village saw it, they all went home one after another to see what they could sell for money. For a while, there were a lot of wild mushrooms, wild rabbits and pheasants on many stalls.

After Ji Xiuran handed over the matter of building the market to the village chief, he didn't participate in the rest, and the two old men took care of his own stall. Shi Jingchen occasionally gave them things, but Ji Xiuran didn't participate at all. He also handed over all the money he earned to the two old men for distribution.Ji Xiuran now has hundreds of taels of silver in his hand, and these small coins are completely ignored, and they are regarded as pocket money for respecting the elderly.

The business of Ji's father and Ji's mother's stall gradually improved, and sometimes they were too busy, so Ji's mother called Liu Ying to help them.Liu Ying has been staying in the backyard of the school since she came to Qingshan Village and rarely went out.Ji's mother is very distressed about this child whose father does not love her mother and does not love her. She has no daughter herself, so she loves Liu Ying as her own daughter. She always calls her out and teaches her cooking and sewing. These girls should learn thing.

Liu Ying also gradually became less afraid of strangers. Now when Ji's mother is too busy, she asks Liu Ying to help her, and sometimes she asks the child to help run the stall, and gives her ten cents a day.Liu Xiang also expressed his gratitude to Ji Xiuran for finding Ji Xiuran for this matter.Ji Xiuran said that Liu Ying helped him take care of the two elderly people, and he should also thank her.The two looked at each other and smiled.

Chapter 39

He bought all the vacant land around the house. He plans to expand the school after sending away the adult students next year. At that time, he will build a new yard on the vacant land behind the current yard. When the time comes, his family will It is completely separate from the school.This is also easy to manage.

After he bought this piece of land during this period of time, he planned it first, and this piece of land has ten acres. In this year's time, he will find someone to clear out this piece of land, and then he will start building houses directly. OK.

Now Ji Xiuran has bought all the vacant land in their house, and there is no time to take care of a lot of land. Shi Jingchen is still taking care of the ten acres of experimental fields and hills he acquired before.

In the beginning, Ji Xiuran bought so many fields just because he wanted to find something for Shi Jingchen to do, so that he would not always think about running up the mountain after he had something to do. He also knew that Shi Jingchen wanted to make more money and reduce his burden, but He didn't want Shi Jingchen to take risks, so he wanted to buy more land and tie people to the land, so that he would have no time to think about other things, and after he had the income from the land, he would not think so much I have gone into the mountains to make money.

He knew what Shi Jingchen was thinking, and he always felt that it was his responsibility to make money to support his family, and he hoped that he could make money so that Ji Xiuran could live a good life. Now that Xiuran was able to make money by himself, he once felt very lost and felt that he was useless. Ji Xiuran found out that he After this thought, he didn't point it out clearly, but used this method to make him feel that he was very useful and he made a contribution to this family.Facts have proved that this method is effective.It's already summer now. In previous years, Shi Jingchen would go hunting up the mountain long ago, but this year he didn't mention it.Only occasionally when my hands are itchy, I will go to the mountains to hunt some rabbits, to satisfy my cravings, and to enjoy the addiction of archery by the way.

But as their family has more and more land, it is a bit difficult for Shi Jingchen to take care of so many lands by himself.

"Third brother, we now have more and more land, but the utilization rate is not high. I want to hire someone to take care of it for us. What do you think?" Ji Xiuran showed the land deed and discussed with him about hiring someone thing.

"I can take care of it." Shi Jingchen didn't want to invite anyone, he felt that he could be busy.

"Of course I know you can. At that time, I didn't want you to be so busy. Now you are so busy that you don't have time to accompany me." Ji Xiuran deliberately acted like a baby to Shi Jingchen.Shi Jingchen thought about it carefully, and felt that what Ji Xiuran said was quite right. The two of them are very busy now, and the time they usually spend together has been greatly reduced.

"Third brother, we don't need to do everything by ourselves. Why don't we free our hands when we can ask others to do it? And we don't let it go. We still need to control the general direction. In this way, we can make money and have It won't be very tiring, and you can have more time to do your own things, isn't it great?" Ji Xiuran continued to persuade him, Shi Jingchen thought for a while, and felt that Ji Xiuran's words made sense.Nodding in agreement.

"I thought about it for a while. I will leave the matter on the mountain to my elder brother and my third and fourth brothers. We still have to take care of the experimental field by ourselves. We will hand over the other wasteland to Wang Er and the others, and we will hand over the work of sorting out the new land to Mrs. You, you can ask people in the village for help, if you don't have enough manpower, you can go to Dashi Village to hire people." Ji Xiuran talked about his idea of ​​hiring people.

Shi Jingchen didn't expect Ji Xiuran to think of inviting some brothers from his family over. "Isn't it wrong to invite them, big brother?" If the two brothers of the Ji family knew, would they think that Ji Xiuran was meaningless and would destroy the brotherhood.

"It's okay, isn't there a Qiaotou market in our village now? I've already planned to let my eldest brother and second brother set up a stall. They will care about it then, and now almost every family in the village has a good stall. We are busy setting up stalls and doing things, so it may not be as easy for us to hire people as before, if there is no one, we can only go to other villages to hire people, and going to other places is worse than going to Dashi Village, after all, it is easy to understand the situation there." People should also be cautious, no one wants to hire those who are lazy and sneaky.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Of course, Shi Jingchen also hoped that the people in Dashi Village would live well, and the elder brother, third younger brother, and fourth younger brother grew up in the mountains, so they must be very experienced in mountain management.And he can teach them even if they can't.I live a good life, but seeing my family members are still suffering, I feel very uncomfortable, so I can help the family to some extent.

At least I can save some money to marry my younger brothers.

Ever since Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen formed a bond, the two families have been in contact like real relatives. Ji Xiuran would give gifts to the Shi family every New Year and festival, and the Shi family would also send them some wild game. The family visits are much more frequent.

The life of the Shi family has also improved a lot. During this period of time, some people have talked about marriage, but they are still worried when they hear about the dowry. Recently, someone came to say goodbye. I didn't ask for a lot of betrothal gifts, but this girl is a bit older, she is 20 years old and hasn't married yet, and there is nothing wrong with it, it's just that she had a marriage contract before, because the girl's mother passed away a few years ago, and the filial piety But when it was delayed, the right person didn't want to wait, so they divorced, and after the filial piety, they became a little older, and it was even more difficult to find for a while, so it was delayed until now.

Their family didn't want a lot of dowry, two taels of silver, Shi's parents thought it was okay, so they looked at each other and were very satisfied with this girl, thinking of making it for Sanniu.After making an order, they still need to save money for the banquet, so now the Shi family needs this job very much.Of course Ji Xiuran is well aware of the current situation of the Shi family. He took the initiative to invite members of the Shi family this time. On the one hand, he thought that the Shi family is very capable and their character is guaranteed. I want to help the Shi family.He knew that Shi Jingchen couldn't let go of his family all the time, and the better he lived, the worse he felt.

It wasn't obvious before. After all, although the conditions of the Ji family were relatively good at that time, the gap was not particularly obvious, and the money at that time was only Ji's father had money, not his own money, but now they share it. After returning home, the two of them held all the money they earned in their own hands. Shi Jingchen knew his family's savings, but he couldn't use them to help his family, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

When the six-year-old was sold, he was resentful towards his family, but later the Ji family treated him like his own, which calmed his unhappiness, but he was still unwilling, until he grew up and understood The helplessness of the family, seeing that the family is entangled by disease and poverty, while I am full of food and clothing, the unwillingness is gone, and later when I can make money by myself, I will give a part of it to help the family, but it is a bond What happened before, the money I earned at that time, I could freely dispose of. Now that I have a small family, I can no longer do this kind of thing. He can control freely, and he can't do things like taking money from the family to support his family.
