Farming and teaching across different worlds

, don’t worry, these are bought for you, and there are some snacks and snacks, which are all put in the house, you go and eat. "Ji Xiuran handed them the wooden swords he bought for the three boys earlier.

After the boys received the gift, they were all very excited. They couldn't put it down, held it in their hands, and jumped excitedly to go to the house to eat snacks.

After tidying up, Ji Xiuran started preparing to make mooncakes the next day.I asked Shi Jingchen to make a few molds for me before. When making Cantonese-style mooncakes, I need to use the molds to make beautiful designs.Ji Xiuran taught Mother Ji to knead dough, a kind of meringue, a kind of sugar-oil dough.For lotus paste, the lotus heart of lotus seeds should be dug out, then steamed and mashed into mud.

After the red beans are steamed, half of them are crushed and the other half is kept for later use. The red bean stuffing made in this way tastes better, and Ji Xiuran added some tangerine peel when steaming, so that the red bean stuffing still tastes fruity.

Five kernels include peanuts, sesame seeds, melon seeds, walnuts, and almonds. Several kinds of ingredients are crushed and then fried to make fillings for later use.In addition to these, he also made date paste.

After preparing the fillings and the crust, the whole family went to battle together and started making mooncakes.Anyway, it’s all for eating, those that are not well wrapped, baked and kept for home use, and those that are well wrapped are baked and packaged to give away.More than 200 mooncakes were quickly made in one morning.Shi Jingchen and Ji Fu are in charge of baking.The aroma is overflowing after roasting.Ji Xiuran picked up a piece of newly baked mooncake and broke it open, gave half of it to Shi Jingchen, took a bite by himself, and felt good.

He took mung bean stuffing, which also added some chestnut powder, which tasted sweet with chestnuts.In fact, these are not authentic moon cakes, Ji Xiuran didn't think of making some ham and fresh meat stuffing, and even if he did, he didn't know how to prepare those fillings.It's just that Ji Xiuran wanted to eat mung beans and red bean cakes, so he added these two fillings in his own mind.However, in this era without mooncakes, Ji Xiuran has the final say on what to do. If he says these are mooncakes, they are mooncakes.

Several children also ran over, and each took a piece of moon cake to eat.Ji Xiuran also shared a piece with each other, and the Ji family was wiped out of the first batch of these.Everyone commented highly after eating.In particular, I have eaten several kinds of dim sum bought from Fulinmen before. Compared with the two, I think this mooncake tastes really good, and it is better than the dim sum bought in big stores.

Ji Xiuran smiled, thinking that this is a foodie country that has been passed down for thousands of years. Traditional dim sum, after so many generations of improvement, can it not be delicious.

Ji Xiuran asked Shi Jingchen to prepare some gift boxes, packed the finished moon cakes, and gave one box to the village chief and several elders in the village, one box to the husband, some to Zeng Junhui, and the rest I want to send two boxes to the Shi family.He also prepared some other things and sent them to the Shi family together with Shi Jingchen.

Chapter 48

Ever since a few brothers from the Shi family came to Ji Xiuran to help manage the mountain, the life of the Shi family has improved a lot.Among the five brothers, except for the youngest who was really too young to do heavy work, the others came to work on time every day.Ji Xiuran gave each of them a salary of 500 Wen a month.They were also taught to grow fruit trees.

Ji Xiuran had thought about finding a good way out for Dashi Village before.He thought of letting them grow fruit trees. Their place is mountainous, not to mention thin and rocky. It is impossible to grow crops, but it is possible to grow fruit trees.Moreover, Ji Xiuran needs to make wine here for a long time, and needs a lot of fruits and flowers.After they plant fruit trees, they don't have to worry about sales.

Even if Ji Xiuran can't eat so much fruit for a while, can't he still go to Zeng Junhui? When the time comes, he will give Zeng Junhui a few recipes for preserving the fruit, and that profiteer will definitely come forward excitedly. Will be delivered to your door.

After the family had more money, the marriages of the younger brothers also began to improve. The girl San Niu had promised before was also settled, and she will get married after the spring of next year.After the family got well, Father Shi's mood also improved, and his body began to gradually improve.After Shi Jingchen returned home and saw that the situation at home had improved, his mood improved a lot.

On the way back with Ji Xiuran, he was in a good mood all the time. Ji Xiuran knew that he was happy seeing his family members living well, so he let him be happy there and didn't bother him.

"Xiu Ran, thank you." After Shi Jingchen returned home, there were only two people left, and he looked at Ji Xiuran solemnly and said.Shi Jingchen knew that his family's situation had improved. Thanks to Xiuran, anyone could take care of their mountain. It didn't have to be the Shi family brothers. Moreover, Xiuran not only asked them to take care of the mountain, but also asked someone to teach them how to plant fruit trees. .After learning these, it is the craft of eating for a lifetime.After returning home, plant a few fruit trees, and the income of the family will be guaranteed.

"Do we two still need to talk about this? Why are you and I being so polite? If you say these unreasonable things again, I will get angry." Ji Xiuran was a little embarrassed by Shi Jingchen, and said these words deliberately and annoyed.

"Okay, I'm not being polite to you." Shi Jingchen looked at Ji Xiuran's reddish face, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"That's right, don't talk about it, we're going to wash up and go to bed, we have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Ji Xiuran pretended to be very busy, and walked out while talking, this person is really getting more and more flirtatious people.Looking at him so tenderly made this 30-year-old virgin a little overwhelmed.Really, how did he find Shi Jingchen more and more pleasing to the eye?It's an illusion.

Being looked at by Shi Jingchen like that would make everyone blush, it's not his fault, Ji Xiuran comforted himself by deceiving himself.Little did he know that as he got along with Shi Jingchen slowly, his mind also gradually changed.

Ji Xiuran prepared the gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the elders in the village asked Ji's father and Ji's mother to deliver them. For the other people who had a good relationship with Shi Jingchen, Shi Jingchen delivered them himself, and he had to personally deliver the ones for the husband. Only in the past.This time, he and Shi Jingchen went together quickly, and he didn't bring a few children with him.

After Ji Xiuran delivered the gift, the teacher's wife took the gift box, and the husband hugged the jars of wine in his arms silently.The last time I came here, it was not time for the opening of the altar, so I didn't bring wine for my husband. This time, just in time, I brought a jar of each kind, and there are five jars in total.Mr. Xi has a gentle personality, and his greatest hobby in his life is wine. This time Ji Xiuran sent him a boxing gift, which was sent to his heart.

Seeing her husband's unpromising appearance, the teacher's wife didn't say anything in front of Ji Xiuran, but asked the maid Liu Er to put away the four altars.The husband watched Liu Er carry the wine jar away with reluctance.Silently embraced the remaining altar in his arms, there was only this altar for now, he had to cherish it.Hide and savor slowly.

Unexpectedly, the teacher's wife shattered his delusion with one sentence: "This altar will be opened at noon, let Xiu Ran and Shi Jingchen have a drink with you." The husband dared not speak out.Who told him to drink too much a while ago, which caused him to feel unwell. After he finally saw the doctor, he was banned from drinking alcohol. Now that he has brought back some, his teacher generously left him a jar, otherwise he would not have a jar.

The husband also knew his physical condition, so he could only resist in his heart, and did not dare to argue openly with his wife.In the end, the husband went to the study with the jar of wine and Ji Xiuran.Now that I'm here, it's natural to take a routine examination of my knowledge.In the past few days, Ji Xiuran has not finished the article assigned by his husband, so he just recounted what he learned recently and asked some questions that he didn't understand.

After accepting it, Ji Xiuran took out an invitation card from his chest and handed it to the husband with both hands.The husband took a look and said, "Wine tasting? What does this mean?"

"Students want to take this opportunity to make a name for their home brewed wine, and I hope that the gentleman will take the time to participate." After hearing this, the gentleman stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and thought for a while and said: "I will bring a few friends to participate. Xiuran, don't be stingy with your good wine."

Ji Xiuran hurriedly ensured that there was enough wine.This solved Ji Xiuran's big trouble.Ji Xiuran attached great importance to this wine tasting meeting, mobilized all his forces, invited all the people who could be invited, and even asked the villagers who set up stalls in the Qiaotou market to help promote it.This time the wine tasting party was going to be held with great fanfare, and the husband agreed to help bring friends over, and of course Ji Xiuran readily agreed.

After Ji Xiuran had lunch at his husband's house, he sent the gifts for Zeng Junhui to Piaoxianglou and went back.This time the shopkeeper brought the message from Zeng Junhui to Ji Xiuran.It turned out that this guy wasn't in the county recently, but went to Yongcheng. He wanted to open his business there, and recently opened a new store, so he wanted to keep an eye on it in person.Knowing that Ji Xiuran was going to hold a wine tasting party, but didn't have time to come back to participate, but he recommended a few people for Ji Xiuran to invite.

Ji Xiuran remembered his kindness, and naturally agreed to his request to keep some more wine.

After Ji Xiuran and the others left, the shopkeeper sent the part of the gift box given to Zeng Junhui to the Zeng family mansion.When I came back, I happened to run into Mr. Zeng. "Aren't you the shopkeeper of Piaoxianglou? Why are you here?" Mr. Zeng had already entrusted his two sons to take care of his business. Now that the third son has his own business, he let them go and let them make their own way.

Although this Piaoxiang Restaurant was previously owned by the Zeng family, it was not very successful. At that time, it was responsible for the boss, and it didn't make a name for itself. over him.I heard that the business of Piaoxiang Building is very good recently.Because of the talent for doing business that the third child showed, he didn't force him to continue the scientific research.
