Farming and slapping face through time travel

Even in the morning in August, it was extremely hot, and it was unbearable to stand under the sun for a while. Shen Jiyao got off his horse but did not hurry away. He stood in the same place sweating profusely under the sun, covering the awning with his hands, He watched Lan Qianjue's horse go away until he could no longer see it before turning around and striding towards the village.

The cicadas are singing on the trees, and most people in the village enjoy the coolness under the small trees in the yard, while those without trees in the yard sit under the eaves. It is too hot in August, and there is basically nothing to do in the field, except go up the mountain to cut firewood. He was staying at home after ordering some game, so as soon as Shen Jiyao came back to the village, almost every household knew that he was back when he walked all the way down. Everyone saw that Shen Jiyao was dressed brightly and looked as handsome as a rich man in white clothes. It is unavoidable to comment on him, there are those who are jealous and hate him who say bad things about him, and there are those who want to cling to and are willing to say good things about him.

Everyone has different ideas, and there are also different praises and criticisms.

Shen Jiyao has a very generous heart. Even if he listened to those ugly words, he just rolled his eyes triumphantly and didn't argue with them. He just wanted to make them jealous and hate him, so he went straight to Mrs. Zhou At home, I plan to find Yang Shaocheng's bad luck after explaining what happened this time.

Boss Zhou and Lao San Zhou are sitting under the eaves of their own houses and fanning their fans. The two families do not like each other. The two sisters-in-law taunt each other with their men from time to time, and no one talks to the other. Sister Zhou and the others saw it, immediately got up and came forward, and said with a smile: "Xiao Shen, why are you back? Isn't the restaurant busy? Come on, come and sit, Xiaobao, go get your Uncle Shen a glass of water." .”

Boss Zhou stared angrily at the seemingly prosperous Shen Jiyao, jealous and disdainful, obviously still remembered what happened last time, but Mrs. Wang looked calm, and now she doesn't hang out with the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, and has eaten once After losing money, I don't like to disturb things like before.

Xiaobao rushed to pour water, Shen Jiyao followed Mrs. Zhou to sit under the eaves, Brother Zhou went into the room and moved a stool to stand and look outside the courtyard for a while, then sat down and said doubtfully: "Brother Lan, he didn't return?"

"No, he's looking at the restaurant, so he can't come." Shen Jiyao took the water from Xiaobao and said, "I'm here to do something, and I'll be back in a day or two. Brother Zhou, sister-in-law Zhou, the seeds are all planted Well, how does it look like?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "I planted it early, and all the seedlings have sprouted. I just came back from watering yesterday, and I planted them according to the method you taught. Have you eaten, I will cook something for you."

"Not yet, please ask my sister-in-law to cook me a bowl of noodles." Shen Jiyao was not polite to them, after all, he was his own, and he was really hungry, so he didn't eat anything all morning.

"Okay, wait a minute." Mrs. Zhou happily agreed, and then got up and went back to the house to cook noodles.

Zhou Laosan took Ah Bao, who was leaning against the door and peeking at Shen Jiyao secretly, and sat on his lap, and said, "It's so hot, how is your business? It hasn't been affected, right?"

"A little." Shen Jiyao said, "It doesn't affect much. The weather is too hot, so it's not surprising that there are fewer people here. I'm going to make some cold dishes and drinks. Brother Zhou, do you know how to make ice?"

Brother Zhou said: "Ice making? I don't know. It's something used by high-ranking officials and nobles. If we ordinary people don't use it, we have nowhere to learn about it. Why don't you go to the county town and ask. I heard there is a special saltpeter system there." Where there is ice, you can directly buy ice and use it, saving yourself effort.”

"Make ice with saltpeter?" Shen Jiyao muttered silently before saying, "Okay, I got it, thank you Brother Zhou, one day when I come up with a new trick, you can bring Mrs. Zhou and Xiaobao to the restaurant together. Make it for you to eat."

Brother Zhou responded repeatedly, and hurriedly called Xiaobao to thank Shen Jiyao. Xiaobao was very well-behaved and said thank you unequivocally.

Not long after, Mrs. Zhou came out with a bowl of noodles.

Shen Jiyao finished eating quickly, and then said: "Brother Zhou, sister-in-law, let's go to Zhang Quanwang's house and get Li Quanfeng and the others together by the way. I want to tell you something."

Brother Zhou said: "Okay, let's go now, I will call the others, you go first."

Shen Jiyao naturally had no objection, the three of them left the yard together and left separately.

A quarter of an hour later, a group of people gathered in the yard of Zhang Quanwang's house.

Zhang Quanwang was wearing a coat, sitting on a stool with one leg crossed, and said, "Brother Shen, why are you free today? The restaurant is not busy?"

"It's too hot these two days, there aren't many people eating, so it's not very busy." Shen Jiyao said with a smile: "Today I came here specially to chat with everyone. I will go to the field to look at the vegetables in the evening. I don't think I have much time to come back recently. , so I want to pay you a few months of money first, and when the dishes are all cooked, I will come back and make another calculation with you.”

Brother Zhou said: "The matter of money will be discussed after the crops are planted. There is no rush now."

Mrs. Zhou echoed, "That's right, how can I ask for money before the vegetables are grown, and it's still a month away. Don't worry, you can collect it first."

Shen Jiyao said: "It's okay, it will be the same sooner or later." As he spoke, he took out the money bag from his arms and opened it, took out five ingots and ten taels of silver, and divided them among several people one by one. Personally, so I was allocated 20 taels, and everyone didn't have any opinions. After all, it was agreed to give the money according to the head, and Mrs. Zhou's family was indeed busy with two people, and there was no need to worry about their relationship. After accepting it, Shen Jiyao said again: "The business in the restaurant is good now. I will raise some money for everyone next year. I will trouble you about the field affairs."

"Hey, don't be so polite." Zhang Quanwang said: "The relationship between the few of us, where the word "trouble" can be used, just explain if there is anything, and we will do it."

Wang Dazhuang held the money tightly, obviously very excited, he couldn't help but sighed: "That's right, brother Shen, we still have to thank you, these ten taels of silver are not easy to earn, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to save it for a year Five taels, now I got ten taels all at once, all thanks to you giving us this opportunity to make money, otherwise how could we have encountered such a good thing, if we want to be polite, we have to be polite to you, little brother Shen, don’t Be polite to us."

"Da Zhuang is right, that's the reason." Li Quanfeng smiled and said: "My father also said, when I save enough 20 taels, I will find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for me. I thought how long it would take, now it seems , I won’t be long with Brother Shen, and when I marry a wife, I will open a few more acres of land to plant crops for Brother Shen.”

A group of people laughed one after another, and Zhou Ge joked: "When the time comes, I will trouble the matchmaker to find the big and strong ones too."

Li Quanfeng smiled and said: "Okay, that's it."

Da Zhuang on the side blushed, but he hesitated and didn't speak, it seemed that he was tacitly acquiescing.

Shen Jiyao smiled, suddenly remembered something, and said, "In this case, I would like to trouble you one more thing, which can be considered as a contribution to your marriage."

Zhang Quanwang said: "What's the matter, you just say it."

Shen Jiyao said: "There are many wild fruits on the two mountains outside our village. See if you can pick some for me."

"What kind of wild fruit are you talking about?" Brother Zhou said, "Most of the wild fruits now have been picked, and there are no more."

"Dwarf fruit, you probably don't know each other after I told you." Shen Jiyao said, "No one would pick that one, but I don't know if there are any now. I forgot the season for picking it. Why don't we go up the mountain to see it?"

Everyone had no objection, since they were idle anyway, they said, "Let's go if you want to see it."

Shen Jiyao stood up and said, "Take some utensils, and if there are any, we can pick some back."

A group of people stood up, and Zhang Quanwang said, "Sure, whatever utensils you want, you can get them at my house."

Shen Jiyao said, "Just take the bamboo tube."

"You wait." Zhang Quanwang walked back to the house after a few steps. After a while, he took out six bamboo tubes to distribute to everyone, and then said, "Let's go, the child stays."

So Tianci and Xiaobao were left in the yard by several people, and they didn't make any noise. They held hands and went to play in the mud in the corner of the yard, while a group of people left the village in a mighty way. The one that goes up the hill goes up the hill.

There was a cool breeze in the forest and it was very pleasant. Zhang Quanwang was worried that poisonous snakes would come out and hurt people, so he went first to clear the way for a few people, and Shen Jiyao walked second to guide the way. Climbing covered with sweat, finally to the place.

Shen Jiyao followed his memory and walked to the place where he found the dwarf fruit, and he found the dwarf fruit tree after a short walk, but at this time, there were only black and green leaves on the shrub dwarf fruit tree, and there were no fruits. Shen Jiyao couldn't help being a little disappointed, it seemed that he had missed it , But thinking about it, it was May when I saw the dwarf fruit last year. This thing is as small as a mung bean, and the growth period cannot be too long. It is estimated that it will be almost ripe in June.

Shen Jiyao sighed secretly, and said to the crowd around him, "After that, I should pick them in June."

"It turned out to be this." Mrs. Zhou pulled the dwarf fruit tree and said, "Xiao Shen, what did you call this just now? We call it black beans. Can this be eaten? If you got the time right, it will be ripe next year." , I’ll pick it for you again, what do you think.”

"That's naturally good." Shen Jiyao said with a smile: "Sister-in-law will have to pay more attention then."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "It's all right, is there anything else you want to pick, let's go shopping again?"

"Yes, there is another kind." Shen Jiyao said and began to search around, while saying: "August [-]th, pick up sweet potatoes. Those things are called sweet potatoes. The leaves are a bit like lute leaves. They are vines that grow on the ground. There are also on the Internet, sweet potatoes that grow well are about the size of plums, very sweet, and ripen at about this time, sweet potatoes are divided into male sweet potatoes and female sweet potatoes, male sweet potatoes are inedible, small and dry, female sweet potatoes are very soft and very soft Sweet, sweet potatoes with large leaves, darker colors and thick vines are more likely to produce sweet potatoes. In addition, sweet potatoes will grow better in shady places with soft soil. I don’t know if you know it. By the way, Zhou Sister-in-law, is there such a place near our village?"

"Yes." Mrs. Zhou said: "The south slope is like this. The mountains over there are full of pine forests, and the foot of the mountains is wild land. I guess there will be some places there. You can show me what it looks like first. I'll look for it another day, but I haven't heard of what you're talking about."

Shen Jiyao hummed, and searched around, but couldn't find the sweet potato vine after all, so he had to give up.

A group of people came here in high spirits and returned disappointed, but this matter was kept in mind by several people, not for the money that Shen Jiyao was about to give, but because they wanted to do something for him. Sister-in-law Zhou asked, "Xiao Shen, What does the sweet potato you're talking about look like? How big is it, what color is it, I describe it carefully, I have to go to Nanpo to look for it when I have time."

Shen Jiyao smiled and said hello, then carefully described the shape of the sweet potato, and then said: "If you are really not sure, you can break it open and have a look. There are many granular pulp inside, and it tastes very sweet. , anyway, it’s easy to recognize.”

Mrs. Zhou wrote them down one by one, and said, "Okay, I've written them all down, and I'll look for them when the time comes."

A few people talked and laughed and returned the same way, but they didn't go back to the village, but went directly to the field to look at the vegetables.

I have to say that they are really good at growing crops. The vegetable fields are well-managed and sparse. They look very comfortable at first glance. Shen Jiyao is naturally very satisfied. He told them several times that they must go to the restaurant to play , so that they can make delicious food for them, Yunyun is very enthusiastic.

Naturally, the few people had no objection, and they all agreed cheerfully.

A group of people went back to the village under the scorching sun, and after sitting at Zhang Quanwang's house for a while, they dispersed.

Shen Jiyao returned to the hut at the foot of the mountain. It was very cool here. Perhaps it was because of the backing of the mountain and the many trees in the yard. The road that Lan Qianjue had specially paved in the yard was already covered with weeds, and the three vegetable fields were also full of grass. It's weeds. Shen Jiyao suddenly got tired of the hustle and bustle of the restaurant when he looked at the tranquility, and suddenly didn't want a lot of people in a yard to participate in his and Lan Qianjue's life. After thinking about it carefully, even though he was struggling and depressed in Lan's house back then. Qu, had to fight with his sister-in-law and the others every day, but the days when they were busy fighting for food seemed to be more interesting than now, sharing adversity together is always more nostalgic than sharing blessings.

Shen Jiyao sighed softly, and suddenly missed Lan Qianjue very much, wanted to see him, wanted to hug him.

I used to be used to him being around all the time, but now that I'm not there suddenly, I realize that my feelings are actually so strong.

With a thought in his mind, Shen Jiyao turned around and walked back and forth, wanting to go back to the town to find Lan Qianjue immediately, but he stopped irritably after walking a few steps.

His purpose of coming this time is not to find out how important Lan Qianjue is, and then run back to the town to find him sensationally, although it is true, but he still has to get down to business first.

Shen Jiyao exhaled, feeling that he is really a person who doesn't care about anything as soon as his head is hot, and does whatever he thinks of. He is too impulsive.

At this moment, he didn't intend to waste any more time procrastinating, and he didn't intend to go in at home, but went directly to Yang Shaocheng, and he could see Lan Qianjue and Xiaodoumi sooner after he finished it quickly, Shen Jiyao couldn't help thinking while walking back and forth , I don't know how busy Lan Qianjue is, and whether he can control the situation.
