Farming and teaching across different worlds

Although he and Ji Xiuran are a family, he can't use Ji Xiuran's hard-earned money to subsidize his family, although he knows that Xiuran won't care.This is a bit of persistence as a man.

Ji Xiuran clearly saw his persistence. Out of respect, he never took the initiative to subsidize the Shi family with money, but every time he gave a gift, he tried to give as much as possible, and he had already thought about it in his heart to help a little in a roundabout way. He wanted to find a way to help the Shi family improve their lives, but he hadn't found a good idea before.This invitation is an opportunity.

After solving the matter of the land, it is necessary to solve the matter of the Ji brothers setting up a stall.Now the Ji family brothers also set up a stall to sell some game like the villagers, but they both know how to hunt. Most of what they sell is game, and the business is quite good.

Ji Xiuran also thought about the food sold by the two families.Brother Ji’s house can sell barbecue, vegetables and meat can be skewered and grilled, and then we can make some drinks, so that eating skewers while drinking is not a must for snacks, and he can brew some rice wine for Brother Ji Sell.The other wines he brews must be high-end, so it is not suitable to appear in these small stalls, but rice wine is fine, it tastes sweet, and the alcohol content is also very low. It will definitely sell well when paired with barbecue.

Brother Ji can sell pancakes or vegetable cakes.For the paste of pancake fruit, you can use the usual pancake recipe. If you want to eat authentic ones, you can add some mung beans, but people here have never even seen pancakes, so how can they know which one is authentic and which one is not? It is likely to be imitated by the villagers. After all, people in the village can spread pancakes now, and now many people in other villages have learned to spread pancakes.But to make this vegetable cake delicious, the crust of the cake must be exquisite. It is best to make it with a mixture of flour and millet flour, so that the baked vegetable cake will be crispy.First put a piece of pie crust on the griddle, then mix several kinds of vegetables together and mix the ingredients, then spread it on the flat pie crust, then take a piece of pie crust to cover the dish, turn it upside down until both sides are golden , stack it up and pack it, it's ready, it's delicious and not expensive.

Ji Xiuran didn't tell the two of them directly, but prepared things in advance and called the two families over for dinner.He prepares skewers with pork belly, large intestines and other internal organs, as well as flesh and blood, chicken wings, chicken liver, and chicken tenderloin. There are more vegetables, and everything that can be tested is skewered. He asked Shi Jingchen before According to the drawings he gave, he built a barbecue stove, set it up, and started the exam when people arrived, eating while grilling. A few children had been waiting by the stove, grilling and eating skewers.

On the other side is a small frying pan customized by Ji Xiuran, which is specially made to make vegetable cakes, and of course it can also be used to make pancakes and fruits.Mother Ji was standing there making vegetable cakes.

"Brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, come quickly, try these new foods, how does it taste?" Ji Xiuran hurriedly greeted them when he saw them coming.A few people didn't agree with him, so they picked up the food they liked and ate it.Brother Ji and Brother Ji liked those meat skewers more, and they drank while eating, thinking it was very suitable for drinking.

Mrs. Ji thinks the baked potato chips are delicious, while Mrs. Ji thinks the vegetable cakes are delicious and filling, and the children prefer to eat flesh and blood.Ji's father prefers to eat fat sausages, and Ji's mother thinks that roasted vegetables are also delicious.Everyone's taste is different, but overall it's delicious.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, do you think it's okay to set up a stall to sell these foods?" Ji Xiuran waited until everyone had almost eaten, and said the main topic for a few days.Brother Ji and Second Brother looked at each other, then at Father Ji, Father Ji took a sip of his wine and didn't look at them, as if he didn't hear them talking.

Brother Ji reacted first and said, "Of course it can make money."

"Then eldest brother and second brother will do it. When the time comes, the eldest brother's stall will sell barbecue, and the second brother will sell vegetable cakes." Ji Xiuran saw that the two were very moved, and immediately made a decision.

Brother Ji and Second Brother Ji felt that something was wrong when they heard about it. These new foods were all thought up by Ji Xiuran, and they couldn't take advantage of them for nothing.Sister-in-law Ji and second-sister-in-law Ji saw that they were starting to mess with each other, and they were very anxious.

"Big brother, second brother, don't talk so much, I have a lot of things to do now, and I don't have time to do this business. Erniu wants to help me, but I don't have time. If the elder brother and the second brother are really sorry, then share it with me." A [-]% profit will do.”

"[-]% is too little." Brother Ji and Second Brother Ji still disagreed, but in the end Ji's father came forward to make the auction, and they each gave Ji Xiuran [-]% of the profit.

Both parties agreed, and there were two new food stalls in the Qiaotou market, and the business gradually became booming.Ji Xiuran prepared some seasonings for Brother Ji's barbecue stall. Even if many new barbecue stalls came out later, the barbecue at Brother Ji's house is the best.

Chapter 40

Ji Xiuran didn't pay too much attention to the construction of the Qiaotou market, and he even handed over the responsibility of kimchi to other people.Before, he did ask about the land at home, but since he hired someone to take care of it, and then let Shi Jingchen take full responsibility, he never asked again.His main energy is spent on his studies and school affairs.After all, he was getting closer and closer to the provincial examination, and his pressure was also increasing.Recently, in order to increase the time for studying, the class hours in the school have been reduced.

Fortunately, the few people he hired were all trustworthy people. The mountain was given to the brothers of the Shi family, and the wasteland was given to Wang Er, Shi Jingchen's closest relationship in the village. Moreover, the new land behind his house was also handed over to Dashi Village. With a few loyal and honest people doing it, and with Shi Jingchen watching, Ji Xiuran can be the hands-off shopkeeper with complete peace of mind.

The students in his school are only from Qingshan Village, and no one from the nearby villages has come. Since the opening of the Qiaotou Market, people have come to inquire one after another, but no one has sent their children here for a long time.But Ji Xiuran is not in a hurry.

His school now has 30 students in the small class. When ordering tables and chairs before, the small class and the adult class were 25 each. Now that the small class has oversupplied, he went to order again.And there are only sixteen people in the adult class, which is less than he initially expected.The small class is now completely in charge of Liu Xiang. Every day, the morning class starts at Mao, ends at the end of Mao, begins at Chen in the morning, ends at the end of Si, begins at Wei in the afternoon, and ends at the end of Shen.The class of three and a half hours a day is much more relaxed than other schools.

Ji Xiuran considers that the children in the small class are too young now, they are all playful, and he doesn't want him to be strict and kill their nature.There were some people in the village who had opinions before, but they were stopped by the village head. After each student returned home, the family members asked about their studies, and everyone said it clearly and logically. After studying for a semester, they knew a lot of new words and could give If the family helps to settle the accounts, the villagers will have no work to say.

There is no morning class for the adult class. They start at [-] o’clock and end at noon. There is no class in the afternoon, which is their free time. Many people have to help with homework. Their families are very satisfied with this arrangement. Recently, the Qiaotou Market opened. Afterwards, many people went home to help set up stalls, and what they learned could be put to use. A group of people who had gone to school and those who hadn't went to school were compared at once.

Those in the village who were not optimistic about Ji Xiuran's adult class had nothing to say.On the contrary, many villagers have seen the real benefits. During this period of time, many people have come to inquire about the adult class.Ji Xiuran told them that if they don't look for new ones this year, they can wait until next autumn if they want to.

When he opened the adult class, he considered the special situation of these people and set the school hours to two years, because he still had to devote himself to preparing for the autumn, so now there is no way to start a new class. , he wants to temporarily suspend classes to prepare for the provincial examination. After this provincial examination is over, he will also persuade Liu Xiang to prepare for the examination wholeheartedly. There is a serious shortage of manpower here, and we must recruit an extra gentleman now.

He asked Shi Jingchen to go to the town to post recruitment notices. What he was looking for was the kind of person who was not rigid, had real talents and good character, and it was not easy to find in this era. Many of them are hypocritical, bourgeois, or pedantic and old-fashioned.

He opened the school to cultivate talents, not to mislead his children. He really didn't want those old scholars to teach his students to be nerds and sour talents.

Their place was known as a poor place before, but now that the situation has improved, the people in the town don't really believe that those scholars who boast of some knowledge don't want to come to their backcountry, and Ji Xiuran's reward is indeed not high.Ji Xiuran also understands that compared to other schools, the one tael a month he gives is really not much, but his school's training is lower than other places. Although he didn't think about making money, he can't lose money, right?

Ji Xiuran asked Zeng Junhui to bring him a lot of historical documents, which he was reading recently. Before that, his understanding of this world was mostly from the memory of the original owner, but he found that his understanding of this world was too superfluous. On the surface, especially in the process of preparing for the township examination, this feeling is becoming more and more obvious. Even if he does not need to quote classics when writing articles, then when communicating with people, he must at least know what allusions they are talking about. When discussing, I can't even understand what others say, so how to refute other people's views.

So even if he didn't take the provincial exam, he still had to read the historical documents of this era.

And in fact, his short board has indeed caused trouble for his rural examination.His historical understanding of this time is too rough, and many documents
