Wear to the Ming Dynasty to farm

Coming out of the county government office, Qiao Jiwei ran into the group of scholars head-on.

In this battle, Qiao Jiwei's side won a complete victory, thanks to this group of talents.

Yi Xiucai walked forward with a smile, and said, "Ji Wei, we finally saved the girl this time, can we have a drink in the tavern to celebrate? We are still thinking of you to write a poem."

Qiao Jiwei has never had a talent for poetry, and besides, he hasn't returned to the village for several days, and he still has a lot of things to do, so he doesn't know what's going on in the village.So she declined and said, "I don't even know how to rhyme, so how can I write poetry? Besides, I was afraid that my family would worry if I didn't go back for a long time, so I took a step forward."

After speaking, he waved goodbye to all the scholars and went to shopkeeper Guo's clothing store.Because the bullock cart was placed in shopkeeper Guo's clothing store at first, Qiao Jiwei still trusted shopkeeper Guo as to how the bull was being fed.

Qiao Jiwei was familiar with the way. After walking two miles, he came to the clothing store and walked in.

Shopkeeper Guo was sitting behind the counter to settle the accounts, but when he saw Qiao Jiwei coming in, he put down the accounts in his hand.He saw that although Qiao Jiwei had been in prison for a month, there was no dirt on his body, especially his face, which was still as energetic as before.Although there were a few spots of dust, fortunately, his facial features were exquisite and his handsome appearance was not affected much.So he smiled, "Looking at you being released from prison, it seems that those bullies have been brought to justice."

Qiao Jiwei stepped forward and said sincerely, "Naturally, it is also the result of your busy schedule. I will never thank you for your kindness. I will remember your deeds forever, Ji Wei."

Shopkeeper Guo chuckled and shook his head, "Others don't know, but I don't want you to just thank you verbally."

Sure enough, it was the essence of a businessman, Qiao Jiwei was secretly delighted, and pointed at him, "You."

But then it occurred to me that I hadn't rewarded those scholars, and I didn't bring much money with me.As shopkeeper Guo runs a clothing store, his family must have a lot of money. "It's also thanks to those literati who wrote poems and essays. I can't say nothing about their hard work. These scholars are from relatively poor families. I think you will help me advance some money first, and I will return the money in a few days. you."

Shopkeeper Guo smiled and said, "If you can figure out some other ways, let us sell some things in the clothing store. The money paid for the talents will be regarded as my labor fee for you."

Qiao Jiwei's eyes flashed, "You have a good idea, but I've lost a lot of money."

In the end, shopkeeper Guo sent his men to pack up the ox cart, Qiao Jiwei bid farewell to shopkeeper Guo, and set off for the village with the ox cart.

Spring has sprouted on the road, and the temperature has turned significantly warmer in a few days.The soft sunlight shines on the earth, and some hardy weeds on the roadside have turned green, and they are especially alive in this withered and yellow world.There seemed to be a joyous atmosphere floating in the air, and Qiao Jiwei's mood became more cheerful because of it.

Soon after returning to the village, two girls, Fei Cui and Cui Hua, were waiting anxiously at the entrance of the village.Seeing Qiao Jiwei coming back from outside with an ox cart, Fei Cui couldn't hold back the joy on her face, "Master, you are back. If you don't come back these two days, we will be worried."

Cuihua said: "We heard that you were arrested and sent to the big prison. It turned out to be pure nonsense of those men. See if I don't give them a few ears when I meet them."

Qiao Jiwei smiled softly, "I just went to stay for one night, and now I'm back unscathed."

Qiao Jiwei returned home with an ox cart, Fei Cui hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook, and Cui Hua went in to help.

When Mother Qian saw Qiao Jiwei coming back, most of the resentment from the previous few days disappeared.After all, they have been together for a long time and have feelings, so naturally they won't be like an enemy every day.

While Jade and Cuihua were cooking, Qiao Jiwei went to the kang to check the sprouting of the potatoes.When I opened the sack, most of the potatoes inside had sprouted.Most of these buds grow on potatoes showing a purple color, and some are already half a centimeter long.

Qiao Jiwei tried to lift the potatoes off the kang, and carried the potatoes in the sack to the courtyard.Then pour out the potatoes in the sack and stack them one by one in a place where the sun can reach them.

After all this is done, the meals in the kitchen are also done.At this time, there are no good dishes, and most of the Chinese cabbage has sprouted, so Jade can only use spinach to make soup and bake green onion pancakes.It was already noon at this time, and it was right to cook this meal for lunch.

There is a lot of oil in this scallion cake, which tastes smooth, tender and fragrant.Qiao Jiwei couldn't help but said, "This scallion cake is good, who baked it?"

"Me." Cuihua said loudly.

Qiao Jiwei gave her a thumbs up, but Cuihua didn't know what to say.

The meal was really delicious. Qiao Jiwei ate two pieces of cake and drank two bowls of soup, and then he couldn't wait to walk out of the house.

He saw that every piece of potato in the yard had several sprouts, so he took a knife.Sitting under a small bench, he cut each sprouted potato into several halves.Qiao Jiwei knew that the potatoes reproduced invisiblely, and cutting the potatoes would indeed give them more offspring.

Seeing what Qiao Jiwei was doing in the courtyard, Cuihua and Feicui couldn't help but squat down to watch.

Fei Cui whispered, "Master, why are you cutting these potatoes?"

Cuihua stared at Qiao Jiweiqie's potato hands, "Naturally it will be planted in the ground."

When the potatoes were cut in half, there was a commotion outside.In an instant, the door was pushed open, and a dozen people poured in.

Qiao Jiwei looked up, feeling a little familiar.Think carefully to know.It turned out to be Xiang'er's family.Miss Xiang'er's father bowed to Qiao Jiwei several times in succession, "Where is your benefactor."

Qiao Jiwei didn't dare to claim all the credit, "Your girl was rescued, you all have to thank Lord Inspector and the shopkeepers in the county."

Dad Xiang'er didn't seem to hear what Qiao Jiwei said. He pulled a girl and a young man out of the dozen or so people and pushed them forward. "Come on, quickly kowtow to your benefactor." This should be Miss Xiang'er and her future husband.

Qiao Jiwei didn't dare to accept this great gift. Before the beauties could kneel down, Qiao Jiwei hurried forward and helped them up.Qiao Jiwei casually looked at the pair of lovers, this girl Xiang'er was really beautiful, no wonder the bully Xue Hu would have her idea.And this girl's lover is Zhou Zheng, although he is not as handsome as Qian Dayong, but he is worthy of this girl.This pair is right at first glance, and no one who sees them will have the heart to separate them.For some reason, Qiao Jiwei suddenly thought of Qian Dayong.

Miss Xiang'er's elder brother glanced at the sprouting potatoes in the yard, but he didn't know their names.Then he asked, "Senpai, what are you drying in the yard?"

Qiao Jiwei glanced at the potatoes piled on the ground, and explained: "These are potatoes, and they all sprouted. I will hang them here, cut them into small pieces, and wait for planting in two days."

Seeing that there was only one man in the Qian family, Xiang'er's family thought that it would be hard for one person to grow so many potatoes for free, and this was a good opportunity to repay their kindness.So Xiang'er's eldest brother volunteered: "In this case, we will come here tomorrow to help you plant potatoes." When he said this, he did not discuss with the family who came with him, but the others did not show any resistance The look on his face probably agrees with his decision.

Qiao Jiwei hastily declined, "How can this be done? You also have farm work to do." Even though he said this, Qiao Jiwei was thinking of a different situation: If Xiang'er's family could really help him grow potatoes, it would save a lot thing.Doing farm work is too tiring, and with Qiao Jiwei's thin body, he can't do too tiring farm work.

Xiang'er's family couldn't tolerate Qiao Jiwei's refusal, "That's it, we will definitely come to your house to do farm work tomorrow."

The next day, Xiang'er's eldest brother and second brother even sympathizers came to Qian's house as scheduled.That being the case, it's not easy for Qiao Jiwei to drive them back.He led them to the field together.

The three brothers worked together, one digging ridges, one digging small holes, and the other burying potatoes.They also cooperated in an orderly manner, but Qiao Jiwei stood by but couldn't intervene, and the three of them did all the hard work.

The three of them worked non-stop, but Qiao Jiwei quietly returned to Qian's house in the afternoon, and prepared some dinner for them with Fei Cui.The three of them had been tired for a day growing potatoes for their family, so Qiao Jiwei naturally hoped to entertain them well in terms of food.

The three of them worked very quickly. In less than two days, they had already planted an acre of potatoes.

Qiao Jiwei planned to plant this acre of potatoes this year, but even after using so many fields, there are still more than half of the germinated potatoes left.Qiao Jiwei gave some potatoes to Xiang'er's family as a token of appreciation for their hard work in the past two days.

Strictly speaking, the Qian family only had five acres of land at their disposal.The remaining fifteen acres of land are rented by other people's families.Thinking of this crop, he gathered his tenant farmers together one by one and discussed with them about the potatoes.

At the end of the discussion, Qiao Jiwei distributed the potatoes to them and asked them to grow them themselves, and the potatoes they harvested were divided [-]-[-].

Even so, the Qian family still piled some sprouted potatoes.

Qiao Jiwei had no choice but to set up a stall outside the courtyard, planning to sell the remaining potatoes to the villagers.Qiao Jiwei priced potatoes at [-] yuan a catty. This price seems expensive, but after all, rare things are more expensive, and potatoes are only found here for hundreds of miles.Qiao Jiwei has the final say on the price of the potato mother and child, so there is nothing to criticize.

When the villagers heard that Qiao Jiwei was going to sell the mother and son of potatoes, they all rushed to Qian's house, hoping to catch up with the sale.At this time, Qiao Jiwei didn't care about favors, so he sold on a first-come, first-served basis.All the villagers snapped up the potatoes, and soon the potatoes were sold out.

The people behind were late, looking at the empty stall, they couldn't help complaining, "I don't even want to save some for me."

Cuihua crossed her arms beside her, "It's not my fault that you didn't come earlier, you arrived slowly after the potatoes were robbed, you deserve it."
