I became the villain's deceased wife

Liu really wanted to help this shy and miserable little girl, and after much communication, her parents finally agreed to let her come to work at Yipin Pavilion.

The condition is to pay back 150 coins every month.

Liu also agreed.

She was optimistic about Chen Qing's needlework and hoped that she could get out of such a poor family.

Chen Qing naturally realized that this opportunity was hard-won. After arriving at Yipin Pavilion, she practiced embroidery skills diligently, and soon she was able to help Liu.

Later he became the mainstay of Yipin Pavilion.

Of course, this is all for later.

Song Tian's small shop is back on track, and the project in cooperation with the county magistrate is also progressing steadily.

After the notice was issued, many refugees who didn't know how to survive the winter came to sign up, but the number was much less than expected.

Song Tian plans to visit the villages and towns with Yang Shucai in the future to promote the business model of their chili cooperative.

Yang Shucai has also served new spicy dishes at Zuixianlou and sent a can of prepared chili sauce to the capital.

Prepare for the promotion of chili pepper.

Of course, the person who was most nervous during this period was Xie Yunzhe.

Because he is about to take the scientific examination.

“Amitabha, may Buddha bless you.

Chen Ming, a believer, respects the elderly and loves the young, and studies hard.

Please bless me to pass this test smoothly and succeed immediately! "

We are leaving for the city today.

Chen Ming got up early in the morning, washed and dressed, took a Buddha statue and placed it on the windowsill, then knelt down and prayed devoutly.

Xie Yunzhe wanted to laugh after watching this:

"Brother Chen, don't we scholars all worship Wenchang Jun?

This Buddha..."

He pointed to the crudely made clay Buddha statue.

"Mind your own business!"

Ever since he misunderstood his sister last time, Xie Yunzhe completely let down his guard against this roommate.

I became more easy-going when getting along with him.

After hearing this, Chen Ming suddenly came to his senses:

“Oh, yes, yes!

You have to worship Wenchang Jun."

He hurriedly put away the Buddha statue, but was troubled again as he rubbed his hands.

"But I don't have a statue of Wenchang Jun..."

It’s over, it’s over. We started off badly and were not well prepared.

Is he going to fail the exam again this time?

Xie Yunzhe looked at his embarrassed face and finally couldn't help laughing. He patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"Don't worry, Brother Chen. You've read my notes this time and have memorized the content of the exam. You will definitely be on the list!"

His main responsibility in the study mutual aid group is to answer questions and resolve problems.

I told several other classmates about my preparations for the provincial examination.

As long as they remember it carefully, there will be no problem.

Chen Ming still wasn't comforted.

When she went out with him in the carriage, she still looked worried.

"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

Xu Lei had already sat in the carriage and greeted enthusiastically the two people who had just walked down the mountain.

It seems that he is not worried about the exam at all.

"This time, thanks to Brother Xie for answering our questions, passing the palace exam won't be a problem!"

He patted Xie Yunzhe's shoulder with gratitude.

I've already thought of how to celebrate.

"When we get back from the capital, I suggest that the classmates in our mutual aid group get together for a good gathering. What do you think?"

Several other students who were going to take the exam together had already arrived, and after hearing this, they responded:

"Okay, okay, where are we going?"

Xu Lei thought for a long time, and suddenly looked at Chen Ming and Xie Yunzhe:

"The last time Brother Chen visited Brother Xie's home, he came back full of praise for the cooking skills of the wife of the Xie family! It made us drool.

Thank you, brother, if you don’t mind…”

Xie Yunzhe was a little hesitant.

He knew that his wife was very busy recently and didn't even have time to see him off when he went to the provincial capital for the exam.

"With so many of us, Madam Song still wants to open a store. I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Unexpectedly, Chen Ming was the first to speak up and shirk responsibility for him.

"I do know there is a wine cellar in the back mountain. It's where Taohua Village stores its wine. Do you want to go and try some meat?"

He suddenly swept away his previous depression and spoke excitedly.

"But drinking is prohibited in the academy!"

One student disagreed.

Chen Ming shook his head indifferently;

“Eh? It’s precisely because of the prohibition that drinking is so exciting.

Besides, we have studied so hard for so long, we should relax for a while to be fair to ourselves.”

They are all hot-blooded young boys, and they are all students who have been strictly disciplined by their families since childhood. They all yearn for this kind of behavior of breaking the rules and indulging themselves.

"That's right, we go secretly and come back secretly.

I'll prepare some roast chicken as a side dish, and the Daqing Mountains are vast and open with pleasant scenery, wouldn't it be a pleasant experience!"

Xu Lei agreed.

"But I heard there are ferocious beasts deep in the Daqing Mountains. Will there be any danger?"

Some people are eager to try it, but are also worried about safety.

"Don't worry, Taohua Village is built on the edge of Daqing Mountain just like our academy. As long as we walk along the edge and don't go into the mountain, there will be no danger."

Chen Ming's family lives in the mountains and he is very familiar with the techniques of going in and out of the mountains.

"OK!

The more ferocious the beasts, the more exciting it is.

Besides, with a guide like Chen Ming, we will definitely not get lost, that's it!"

A group of people chatted enthusiastically all the way to the provincial capital to take part in the provincial examination.

……

“Oh, big sister.

Are you here with your uncle to collect mountain products again this time?"

When Song Tian, ​​Yang Shucai and his group arrived at Wangnan Village, they ran into the aunties and sisters with whom they had chatted gossip before, who greeted them warmly.

Song Tian smiled:

"This time we are not here to collect mountain products, but to promote chili cultivation. Anyone interested in joining our chili cooperative can sign up at Zuixianlou in the county."

As she spoke, she distributed the government office's notice to everyone and verbally explained the operating model of the cooperative.

"If you have land at home, you can get the seeds and plant them at home. When the peppers are harvested, someone from Zuixianlou will come to collect them. The price will be favorable, and I guarantee you will earn more than you can by selling mountain products."

Few of the women in each family can read, but after hearing what Song Tian said, it seemed like a good thing.

but:

"Big sister, it's not that we don't want to plant, it's that we don't know how to plant.

What if this is thrown into the field and the harvest is not good? "

Song Tian thought about it and realized that this was indeed a problem.

“Anyone who is interested can consider it first.

As for technical issues, I will ask people who have grown it before to give me guidance. If you fail, I will not charge you for the seeds. I will just give you a trial and error experience."

Compared with other crops, pepper cultivation is a relatively new process.

As long as you water and fertilize on time, it would be strange if the plants don’t grow well.

“That’s a good feeling!

Anyway, we can't harvest anything from the land in front of and behind our house, so let's give it a try next year!"

Several villages were promoted.

Just as Song Tian expected.

Few people in the wealthy villages are willing to take risks.

But more people in poor villages are planning to try it.

Yang Shucai followed her across most of Fenglin County and finally arrived at Xiejia Village in Xiangyang Town.

The original intention was to introduce the cooperative to the tenant farmers who were struggling to make ends meet.

By the way, please ask Aunt Wen to come out and serve as a technical instructor.

After all, Aunt Wen also successfully helped grow a season of peppers after Mo Bai.

But unexpectedly, not long after arriving in Xiejia Village, members of the Xie family came to visit!
