General's Farmer's Wife

, I had eaten some in my previous life, and they tasted pretty good.Let's pick some more and go back.
"Ah ------ are you picking flowers? These flowers are beautiful, but what's the use?" Xu Lian was enjoying picking flowers, when he heard Xue Chen Gao yelling and running over, seeing the flowers in his hand, he tilted his head asked curiously.In the past, Xu Lian said that these flowers are useless except for their beauty, and the juice of many flowers is difficult to wash, so Xu Lian refused to let him pick them, but now Xu Lian is actually picking these flowers, and he has picked a lot of them.
Xu Lian gently put the picked flowers into the frame behind him, and straightened his messy hair from picking flowers.He smiled and replied: "Looks good? And there are many uses, so why don't you make them into food?"
"Eat? Are these flowers edible? Ah, why didn't you say that before?" Xue Chen asked strangely. The two young people behind him also tilted their heads strangely when they heard Xu Lian's words, staring at Xu Lian. Looking at these flowers, I probably want to see how they can be eaten.
"Of course they can be eaten. I didn't say it before because I didn't know these flowers were edible until I----I heard it from someone in town. We can Pick off these petals, put them in a tea cup after drying, pour some hot water to make tea. It tastes very good, and you can smell the fragrance of flowers. You can also grind these flowers into powder and make delicious food with flour Flower cake, that flower cake is not only delicious, sweet and delicate, but also has a faint floral fragrance. Besides, we can put these flowers in a small bag, make a sachet, and carry it with us, then we can always be fragrant Yes." Xu Lian said holding a freshly picked flower.
"Auntie, the flowers you mentioned can be made into flower cakes, so can you make them for us to try? I don't eat much, just let me taste it. I never have I’ve made flower cakes to eat.” Xue Dahe’s saliva was about to flow from Xu Lian’s words, so he immediately ordered some cakes with him, fearing that he would not be able to eat them in the future, and also afraid that Xu Lian would think that he ate too much and would not let him eat. Eat, and then added a sentence.
"Okay, in the future, when my aunt is going to do something, I will definitely ask you to come over and eat together. Then you can eat with your stomach free." Seeing Lin Ming beside him with shining eyes, Xu Lian added: "At that time, Lin Ming, you will come too."
"Really, thank you, Xu." Lin Ming's eyes lit up happily, and he immediately agreed. "Xu Mo. Do you still want these flowers? Do you want us to help you pick them together?" After Lin Ming agreed, he remembered that his aunt had said that he could not eat other people's things casually, so he immediately added a sentence, if he helped pick them together It's not just eating Xu Momo's flower cake for nothing.
Xu Lian also understood what Lin Ming meant, and happily agreed.The other two immediately asked if they wanted to help themselves, Xu Lian also agreed, and told them to be careful not to be stabbed around or trip over the vines under their feet.
In the whole morning, apart from flying the kite at the beginning, the four of them spent the rest of the day picking flowers.There are quite a lot of varieties of flowers here. In addition to the above three familiar flowers, Xu Lian also found calendula and honeysuckle, two kinds of flowers that can clear away heat and reduce fire.In addition, he also found a mint plant, which can be said to be a bountiful harvest.
"Ah, I'm hungry." Xue Chen touched his stomach, pouted, and looked at Xu Lian pitifully.
Xu Lian looked at the sun, it was already noon, no wonder Chen'er was hungry.He took Xue Chen's little hand, wiped the mud and sweat off his face, and said, "Chen'er, I'm hungry, so let's go home and cook together, shall we?"
"En." Xue Chen nodded happily, and then ran to Lin Ming and Xue Dahe, saying, "Brother Dahe, Brother Ming, you're home, we're going home for dinner."
The two boys came back to their senses, now it's time to eat, and they actually forgot to go home for dinner.After recovering their senses, the two of them quickly ran to Xu Lian, handed the flowers they had picked to him, bid farewell and ran home without waiting for Xu Lian to say anything.
Before Xu Lian could react, he saw two figures running away.It seems that I missed their meal time, I don't know if their parents will talk about them.
I glanced at Xue Chen who was envious of how fast they ran, and thought about whether I should train him. Looking at his thin body, it would be impossible not to exercise well. Let him start running together tomorrow.After deciding, Xu Lian took his hand, went to the river to wash his hands, and prepared to go home and cook.
When I got to the river, I saw fat fish swimming in the river.Xu Lian couldn't help but patted his head. He actually forgot that there were fish in the river. When he first came here, he should have brought a fishing rod or something that could catch fish, so there would be fish to eat at noon. .
But now, I don’t have any tools in my hand, and the only tool—the bamboo basket also contains a pile of flowers and lunch for chickens and ducklings—can’t be used.Besides, there was a little one waiting to eat, so Xu Lian had to give up this idea.Let’s catch these fish next time. It is said that if you eat too much fish, you will become smarter. There is DHA in the fish --- the legendary brain gold.When I come back next time, I will find a way to make a fishing net bar, so that I can catch more fish.
With such thoughts in mind, the father and son Xu Lian and Xue Chen went home happily together.
The author has something to say: Scented tea is my favorite, many scented teas have different effects, and the taste is good, I suggest everyone to try it.The role of scented tea here is from Baidu, and I don’t know much about it------O(∩_∩)O~
9. Busy farming...
In the next few days, Xu Lian took as much time as possible to wash the picked flowers in the mountain spring and dry them in his yard. Easier to dry.
In fact, if you want to dry it faster, you can put the petals on the fire and slowly bake them, but the taste of the flowers will not be so good, so Xu Lian chose the most natural method, drying the petals in a sunbath.Aren't many Chinese herbal medicines also preserved by natural drying in the sun, and the reasons are probably the same.
Xue Chen heard that these petals can be eaten after they are dried, so he immediately raised his hand and asked himself to help dry the petals together so that the petals can be dried quickly.
Of course Xu Lian was happy that Xue Chen also helped, and after telling him what to do, he gave him some petals and let him bask in a low and sunny place.And he dried the petals on a tall shelf.There is no way to do this, because Xue Chen is only a little over five years old, less than six years old, and now he is just a young lady, so he can only be wronged to work in a low place.
Xue Chen didn't mind these, took his own petals, moved them under the sun, then moved a small stool by himself, sat in front of the petals, propped his chin to look at these flowers, and turned them from time to time, then The seriousness made Xu Lian couldn't help laughing. Sometimes Xu Lian teased him that he was going to go to the ground, and asked him if he wanted to go together. Xue Chen tilted his head and thought about it, and then seemed to do something As if making a major decision, he shook his head and said that he would not go, he wanted to stay at home and look at the petals, and he did not forget to wave to Xu Lian to say goodbye.
Sometimes Xu Lian really wanted to work in the field, but Xue Chen didn't go, just stayed at home to look at the petals, and prevented the chickens or ducklings at home from eating the petals, which made Xu Lian praise for a while.
Calculating the time, it has been two or three months since I arrived in this other world, and my life is getting better now, at least I don't have to worry about running out of food at home, and I don't need to borrow rice from others.My family now has some surplus food, raises some small animals, and grows crops in the fields. Although the life here is not as comfortable as in the 21st century, Xu Lian is still quite satisfied with the current life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. of.Many of my classmates used to call him "Xiaoqiang", probably because he also has some characteristics of Xiaoqiang himself, otherwise, whoever wakes up and finds someone calling your mother, it would be strange if he is not crazy.But he allowed Xue Chen to call him Ah Mo for so long, and he really regarded himself as his parent and worked hard to support him, which made people have to sigh at his tyrannical adaptability.
A few days ago, Xu Lian went down to look at the field. Some of the small vegetables in the field are almost grown, and they can be harvested in the past few days. I have grown a lot of Chinese cabbage at home. If I eat them all, I will definitely not be able to eat them. A lot, it seems that after collecting it, I will take it to the town to sell some.
Also, the vines from the sweet potatoes I planted a while ago sounded good, but now those vines are lush green, with luxuriant branches and leaves. I even picked some leaves to eat a few days ago, and the taste is not very good.These leaves are opened, and after finishing the Chinese cabbage, I have to quickly tidy up the ground, and then plant these sweet potato vines, so that the sweet potatoes can grow well.
I have to find time to weed the other vegetables. It has rained a few times in the past few days. After the rain, the grass is soaring upwards. Now the grass is still small, so it is easy to weed. , When the grass grows densely and firmly, it will take a lot of effort to remove it by yourself, and you must be careful not to hurt the roots of the surrounding crops. It will be very annoying at that time, so it is better to go early .
After making up his mind, Xu Lian moved a little faster.
After a few days of hard work, Xu Lian quickly collected all the vegetables from the field. Except for some to eat at home and pickled sauerkraut, he took the rest to the town to sell with Xue Shan's help. up.Because it was a newly harvested dish, Xu Lian sold it at a reasonable price, and it was sold out quickly. Although it was not much, he was still very happy. You must know that this was the first time he really used his The money obtained in exchange for the fruits of labor.In the past, he always felt that the things he got from the mountains and the money he sold were not his own. Although he was happy to get the money, he was not as excited as he is now.
After selling the vegetables, Xu Lian immediately started to plant sweet potato vines.The ground is the same as the one who planted sweet potatoes before. Xue Shan asked him strangely why he was so troublesome when he thought of when he first got it out.Xu Lian had seen his father do this before, and he really couldn't tell why, he just smiled and didn't answer.
Now that Xue Shan saw Xu Lian planting the rootless sweet potato vines in the ground, he was even more surprised, so he stopped him immediately. Does this vine have roots, and if it is planted like this, can it still survive?
Xu Lian explained to him for a long time, but he still didn't believe it, so Xu Lian showed him one of the vines. There were one or two thin roots on that vine. Xu Lian said that these vines with some small roots Plant them in the ground so they can live and grow more sweet potatoes that way.
Xue Shan looked at the two slender roots that seemed to be broken by the wind, but he still couldn't believe it. Finally, Xu Lian said that he heard it from others in the town, saying that it would be able to grow more. There are too many sweet potatoes, so I want to try planting an acre first.Xu Lian talked for a long time before Xue Shan agreed, thinking in his heart that if the harvest was not good in the future, he would help out again.
Later, when Xue Shan saw the green sweet potato vines in Xu Lian's field, he felt that books were really good things, and made up his mind to let his boy go to school to study.
Because Xu Lian is busy with field work these days, he has left some light household tasks to Xue Chen. He wants to dry flower petals and feed chickens and ducks. If Xue Chen can do these things well, Xu Lian will leave them to him. .In order to show Xu Lian that he has grown up now, Xue Chen happily accepted, squatting in front of the petals and chickens and ducks every day, watching them.
At noon that day, Xu Lian just came back from the field when he heard Xue Chen running out excitedly, holding a light yellow egg in his hand, and happily said to Xu Lian: "Ah, egg, ah!" Well, there are balls."
Eggs?Xu Lian didn't react for a while, but when he saw the egg in Xue Chen's hand, he asked him stupidly: "Chen'er, where did this egg come from?"
After hearing this, Xue Chen immediately said excitedly: "The chick at home has laid eggs. I just saw this in the chick's nest."
ah?Are your chickens starting to lay eggs?Although Xu Lian knew that chickens would lay eggs, he didn't know when the chicks started to lay eggs. Looking at this tiny egg, he didn't realize that the chickens at home started to lay eggs.
lay eggs?So his chicken-and-egg plan can be realized soon?
Xu Lian was also happy when he thought about it, and he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. It took him a while to realize that he wanted to see if the egg was a fertilized egg. He immediately looked at the egg to the sun for a long time before he was disappointed. I found that the egg had no black spots at all, and it was impossible to hatch a chick.
Xue Chen was surprised that Xu Lian was holding the egg and looking at it in the sun. After taking the egg from Xu Lian's hand, he himself looked at the egg in the sunlight in the same way, but there was nothing?Xue Chen stared at Xu Lian curiously, with doubts shining in his big eyes.
After Xu Lian saw it, he told him that if he could look at the sun like this and see black spots, it meant that there was a chick living in the egg, and a chick would probably come out in the future.
Xue Chen seemed to understand what he heard, but for a long time afterwards, people often saw Xue Chen pointing his hand at the sun and wondering what he was looking at.
After Xu Lian knew that the chickens had started to lay eggs, he actively prepared all kinds of delicious food to nourish the chickens, so that they could lay eggs more frequently, so that they could lay fertilized eggs earlier.

10. Flower cake and scented tea come out...
After the chickens at home started laying eggs, Xu Lian looked at them himself. The first few eggs were very small, and none of them were fertilized eggs. Thinking about it, it has been a long time since the family has eaten eggs, and now Xue Chen is growing up. , Xu Lian made the eggs he received every day into steamed eggs for Xue Chen to eat.
Xue Chen likes to eat this slippery and soft egg very much. Knowing that these eggs are laid by chicks, and more chicks will come out of the eggs and produce a lot of eggs, Xue Chen immediately told Xu Lian Make sure you feed these chickens well in the future.As for the ducklings that didn't lay eggs, they were gorgeously forgotten by him.
In addition, in the past few days, Xue Chen often took the petals that were almost dried and asked Xu Lian: "Ah, is this kind of petals okay?"
At first, Xu Lian took it over and looked at it, thinking that it should be almost enough to make tea, but if he wants to keep the flowers for a longer time in the future, he still needs to dry them more. Looking back, he looked at Xue Chen's two shiny flowers. Xu Lian still decided to say, "It's not enough, I need to expose my eyes again."
Then, I saw Xue Chenta pulling his ears, lowering his head, and returning to the petals weakly, turning the petals weakly, and muttering in his mouth: "Petals, petals, hurry up, so I I can eat you."
Xu Lian's mouth twitched, thinking very unkindly, if these petals have thoughts and know Xue Chen's thoughts, they will probably become even wetter in an instant-------wet!
Finally, after Xue Chen asked for the nth time, Xu Lian nodded and said that these petals were edible.Xue Chen almost jumped up happily.
Xu Lian brought some petals from his family. Some of them were processed in the simplest way, which was to make tea, and others were made into flower cakes according to Xue Chen's request.
Knowing that flower petals can be used to make flower cakes, Xue Chen pestered Xu Lian early in the morning to ask him to buy some flour at home. The flour used to be eaten when Xu Lian was still there, so there was no need to make these flower cakes. , So after selling the vegetables at home, Xu Lian bought some flour at Xue Chen's request.
With these flours, the next thing will be less laborious. Xu Lian weighed some petals, crushed them finely, and then mixed them with flour and kneaded them in boiling hot water to fully mix the flour and petal powder. After seeing that the flour was almost kneaded, Xu Lianzai put the kneaded flour aside to let him wake up properly.After kneading several types of flour, after waking up, Xu Lian made these noodles into round cakes.The reason is that the pie shape is the most labor-saving and simple.When it is best, take it to the steamer and steam it for a while, wait for a few minutes, and then check if it is cooked, and serve it out directly when it is cooked.
As soon as the flower cake came out of the oven, Xue Chen next to him couldn't help it, and immediately grabbed a piece with his hand and wanted to stuff it into his mouth. Unfortunately, the freshly baked flower cake was still warm, and that temperature is definitely not the same as that of Xue Chen, who has delicate skin and tender meat. It was unbearable, so Xue Chen unfortunately got burned.The hand holding the flower cake almost didn't throw the flower cake in his hand to the ground, but shook his hand and threw it on the table, hugging his hot hand, the tears in his eyes gradually increased, looking pitifully. Looking at Xu Lian, his mouth was flattened, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Xu Lian had no choice but to grab his hand, put it in the water, and scolded with a smile: "Is there something I won't give you to eat, you need it, are you so impatient? Seeing that you burned your hand, are you happy?"
"Unhappy, it hurts!" Xue Chen looked at his burnt fingers and said with a flat mouth.
"It's good to know that it hurts, but you can't do this in the future, you know? Others are impatient and can't eat hot tofu, but I think you can't eat cold flower cake in a hurry." Xu Lian nodded Xue Chen's head and said.
"I don't eat tofu, I want flower cakes." The little Xue Chen didn't understand what Xu Lian meant by saying this, fearing that Xu Lian wouldn't give him flower cakes later, he immediately emphasized that what he wanted was flower cakes.
kindness?The current Xue Chen should send him to school to learn some knowledge. Even if he doesn't need to go to the exam to obtain fame in the future, it is good to have some knowledge, at least he won't be so easily deceived.Although he himself is a college student anyway, the characters in the two worlds are different, and he can't understand them at all.Send Xue Chen to school now so that he can make more friends, now Xue Chen's playmates are Xue Dahe and Lin Ming who picked flowers together last time, this is not acceptable.Thinking of this, Xu Lian made up his mind to send Xue Chen to school to study.
However, although it is not mandatory to pay for going to the school, at least the basic training is needed. Xu Lian has to prepare well for these things. Don't think about it now, the food is the most important thing now.
Put the steamed flower cake on a plate and bring it to the dining table. After giving Xue Chen a piece of cake to taste, he went back to the kitchen and brought out the freshly cooked soup. Today's lunch was settled like this.Flower cake with fresh soup, one mouthful of flower cake and one mouthful of soup, the mouth is full of fragrance and umami, after the meal, each person has a cup of scented flower tea to digest food, this meal can be eaten by two people, one big and one small I was very satisfied, and finally touched my chubby belly. I ate too much at noon, and then Xue Chen lay next to Xu Lian, begging to rub his belly!
After taking a break at noon, when the sun was not too high, Xue Chen took a small basket containing flower cakes and flower tea to find Xue Dahe and Lin Ming to play.Ah Mo said that a good boy has good things to share, and Xue Chen felt that he was a good boy, so he took his favorite flower cake and scented tea and went out to find his good friends.
Seeing that Xue Chen had gone out to play, Xu Lian saw that there were still a lot of flower cakes left on the table, so he took some of them out to Xue Shan's house.Xue Dahe is usually not at home at this time, and a group of children have their own secret base, so Xu Lian asked Xue Chen to find the two young ones with food, after all, they had a share in picking flowers back then.Moreover, there is still a relationship between my family and Xue Shan's family. It is good to use these gadgets to connect with each other. What's more, I want to know about the situation of Shu Xiu here from Lin Yue later.
When Xu Lian arrived at Xue Shan's house, Xue Shan had already gone out to work in the fields.Lin Yue still stays at home and does housework. Now that the work in the field is not very busy, Lin Yue doesn't need to go to the field with Xue Shan every day. She just raises chickens, cooks rice, makes clothes and so on at home.
When Xu Lian entered the door, he happened to see Lin Yue sitting in the yard making clothes. Seeing his needlework fluttering, Xu Lian felt strange.In his previous life, he had never seen that man sewing with a needle. Even if there were not many girls, there were not many girls, but now he saw a man sitting in the yard, flying needles and threading there, slowly Lian said that he did not accept it well.
"Alian, why are you free to come here today? Why are you still standing at the door, come in quickly." Lin Yue, who was making clothes, felt someone coming in, and raised her head, so she could see Xu Lian standing at the door stupidly .
"Oh, sister-in-law, you are making clothes, huh? Why are they all small clothes? Who are they for?" Xu Lian looked at a small dress not much bigger than his palm in front of him, and asked strangely .
Unexpectedly, looking up and seeing Lin Yue's shy look in joy, Xu Lian was embarrassed once again gorgeously.
"For the baby in my belly." Lin Yue felt a little embarrassed when she thought about it. She wanted to have another baby a few years ago, but she never got pregnant. She didn't expect that Dahe is so big now, and she can wait for a few years Said brother, and I was pregnant again, and I and Dashan were happy for a while.
"Baby? What baby?" Xu Lian hadn't seen the pregnant man until here, and now Lin Yueyi said that he didn't realize it all at once, and when he did, he immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Yue who was still flat Belly, there is a baby here?Can men have children?Poor Xu Lian completely forgot that kid Xue Chen came out of his stomach.
"What are you looking at? It's only been two months now, and you still can't see anything. If you want a baby, when my uncle comes back, you are working hard, and you will definitely be able to give birth to a few more." Lin Yue Seeing Xu Lian staring at his stomach all the time, it was a joke to Xu Lian.
Hearing what he said, Xu Lian thought about how a man would look like when he was pregnant, tall and strong body, legs that couldn't be closed because of his big belly, and a big belly on top --- his own face, and he shuddered Shiver, don't, absolutely don't, he doesn't want to get pregnant like a woman.Fortunately, that man went to the battlefield and I don't know if he can come back. Even if he comes back, I have to divorce him, so he doesn't want to be reduced to a child-bearing tool.
"Hey, Alian, what are you bringing? Why is there still a scent of flowers?" Lin Yue asked looking at the small basket Xu Lian brought.
"Oh, these are some cakes I made. They are made of flower petals. I bring them here for you to taste and see how they taste." Xu Lianbie and Lin Yue thought about her purpose of coming and took out her cakes , give him a taste.
Lin Yue looked at this cake-like flower cake, a little strange, can flowers be eaten?But after smelling the alluring fragrance of the flower cake, I still didn't resist the temptation in the end. I took a piece to taste, um ----- the entrance is delicate, sweet but not greasy, and it also has a faint floral fragrance.Lin Yue ate one piece and wanted to eat another piece, but eating these pastries alone was a little dry. At this time, Xue Chen hurriedly handed over a cup of scented tea, and another scent of flowers came to her nostrils, but the scent of flowers in her mouth was not as strong as before. The glass of water in my mouth is diluted but more concentrated, feeling as if I am staying in the garden.
"Is this flower cake delicious?" Xu Lian asked beside him. In fact, he knew the result without asking. Didn't you see that he wanted to eat another piece after eating one?
"It's delicious, A-Lian, the cakes you make are even better than those in the pastry shop in the town. If you sell them there, many people will buy them, and your tea is just right to eat with this flower cake." Yes." Lin Yue said happily.
"I'm just doing it casually, and I can't compare with those in those shops. Oh, by the way, I came here today to ask you something, that is, Chen'er is almost six years old, and I want to send him to the school to learn I don’t ask him to read a lot of things, but I only ask him to know a few words, so that he won’t suffer in the future, so I want to ask how Shu Xiu, who was sent to the school, counts.” Xu Lianyou said embarrassingly .
"Shuxiu? You can just send some eggs and some food you always have at home. The old master is not that particular about it. But Chen'er is a brother, I'm really not sure if he will accept it or not. " Lin Yue said.
"That's it! Then I'll take Chen'er to take a look at it tomorrow and talk about it." Xu Lian thought about it after hearing Lin Yue's words.

11. Go to school...
The next day, Xu Lian took some dried scented tea, camellia leaves, preserved bacon and sauerkraut, as well as a growing hen at home, to the school with Xue Chen.
The camellia was found by Xu Lian when he went up the mountain to hunt for treasures. Those tea trees were sprouting new buds at that time. Xu Lian felt itchy when he saw it. Seeing the tender tea leaves, Xu Lian couldn't help picking them all back. After returning home, Xu Lian put the tea leaves in a pot and slowly fried them until the air was filled with a faint tea fragrance. Stop, Xu Lian also drank it into the current camellia after these rough processing, and the taste is quite good, although it is not as good as the tea he drank before, but it is about the same.As for the scented tea, Xu Lian specially chose the scented tea that clears away heat, relieves fire and moisturizes the throat. The weather will be hot in the future, and the old master will talk all day long, so he will get thirsty easily. It’s good to send these scented teas, so that the old man can drink refreshing scented tea Lectures at the same time, isn't it pretty good?
The bacon was caught by Xu Lian on the mountain. In fact, Xu Lian dug a few traps on the mountain and used some sharp wooden sticks in the traps. Those hares fell into the traps and were fixed there by those wooden sticks. Unable to dig holes to escape, Xu Lian was very lucky to catch several wild rabbits, and when Xu Lian saw them, those rabbits had already died.That night Xu Lian and Xue Chen had a good meal of rabbit meat.After the meal, Xu Lian marinated the unfinished rabbit meat and made it into bacon, so that it can be eaten for a longer time.And Xu Lian didn't waste the rabbit skin, so he asked Orion in the village to help him deal with it, and wanted to make a dress for Xue Chen in winter.
When they arrived at the school, some children had already started reading, and the sound of reading came from the school, and Xu Lian thought of a couplet he had seen before: "The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading is in my ears, family affairs, state affairs, world affairs matter of concern."
He himself can hear the sound of the wind, the rain, and the sound of reading, but he only cares about family affairs.The other two things can only be forgiven him for being powerless. Xu Lian knows that he is not a savior hero, and he is not capable of becoming a savior hero like other time-traveling characters. He is just a small farmer, and he I am also willing to be an anonymous farmer.
The old master in the room saw Xu Lian and Xue Chen standing outside the door, told his students to continue reading, and walked towards them.
Seeing the old master come out, Xu Lian greeted him politely and explained his purpose of coming.
The old master stroked the gray goatee on his chin, carefully looked up and down Xue Chen who was standing next to Xu Lian, and saw that Xue Chen unconsciously hid behind Xu Lian.After a long time, the old master nodded slightly and said: "Well, this brother is not bad. I will come to the school to teach in the future. You have to prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone by yourself. I have some basic books. You don't need to prepare them, prepare them yourself. I don’t have any objection to that. I don’t have many rules here, but you have to be serious when you study here, and you can’t intentionally cause trouble. If you are discovered by me, you will be punished by me, you know?” After seeing Xue Chen nodding, The old master explained some points that need to be paid attention to, so he asked Xue Chen to sit with a few brothers in the school.
Xu Lian took this opportunity to take a good look at the school. Now there are nearly twenty people in the school, most of them are boys, there are not many brothers, only four or five, and they are all about the same age. Under the age of ten, the older children all went to work in the field, while the parents of the younger children were too troublesome to take care of them, so they were all sent to school.Brothers are more precious in this society, and there are not many who send their brothers to school, most of them are brothers with deep forehead marks, maybe their parents want to marry these brothers to the town , or a good person's house, I can marry a better person after learning some words.
Now there are about five buddies in this school, the old master doesn't have high requirements for these buddies, as long as they don't make noise in class and know some words.
Xu Lian handed over the Shuxiu he had brought to the old master, and told Xue Chen to be obedient, to attend class seriously, not to cause trouble, to respect teachers, and to love classmates. After explaining a lot, he let Xue Chen enter the school, and watched Xue Chen enter the school , and left without worry.
Unconsciously, Xu Lian thought that when he first entered kindergarten, his mother sent him to the first class in the same way. Before going to school, he still told him to listen to the teacher carefully and get along with other students. .Unexpectedly, on the first day of school, he was accidentally stung by a bee. Looking at his swollen fingers, Xu Lian endured the tears in his eyes and ran back home secretly. His grandfather saw him and knew that he had been stung by a bee. When the bee stung, I picked some pumpkin petals, kneaded them until there was some juice, then applied the flowers and honey to the wound, and then bandaged it with gauze.Unexpectedly, after wrapping up like this for a period of time, the wound will not hurt, and the wound will disappear soon.Later, when my mother found out that she had sneaked out of the kindergarten, she told herself harshly.Although I was heartbroken that I was stung by a bee, I still forced myself to go to the kindergarten to apologize to the teacher.
Letting go of the uneasiness in his heart, Xu Lian went home alone and continued to work on his own affairs.
Xu Lian, who came home, looked at the petals still drying in the yard, and thought about what Lin Yue said yesterday. Can it be sold in the town, and can this scented tea be well received by most people?
Farming the land by myself is only half-baked. I don't know if I can grow it well, and can I become well-off by farming?There are also chickens and ducks. The chickens and ducks at home have not grown up yet, and I don’t know when they will grow to a certain size!In this case, if I can open a small restaurant, I am afraid that I will not be able to open a restaurant based on what I have seen in the 21st century?
Then, can I open a small restaurant in the town to sell these flower cakes and scented tea.These flower teas and flower cakes do not exist in this world. Does this count as innovation?
But to open a restaurant, you need money, a lot of money, and what can you do with only one or two taels of money on hand?Probably after buying some bowls and chopsticks, I have no money to do other things, so I still can't open my own restaurant.
Eh!money!money!money!
Money is not everything, and without money, nothing is impossible. This sentence is really a wise saying!
Xu Lian sighed, he had better think of a way!

12. Entering business...
The author has something to say: Some readers wonder why Xu Lian is so calm about being a brother, and why is he so good at spending money?
Let me explain here, Xu Lian is calm about becoming a brother because his appearance and structure are the same as before, and he has not faced the things that brothers should care about: marrying, he has already married, and there is another Son, but fortunately his husband is not around; there is no need to find a master, no one is forcing him to find another husband.As for whether Xue Chen wanted to call him Ah, he was just struggling, knowing that he couldn't change it at will, so he reluctantly ended it.
As for spending money, although he is a child from the countryside, but because he is an only child, he is still favored by his family, so he is not very good at managing money. Like many people, the first day he gets his salary is to go out and have a good time. So it appears that when he gets the money, he buys what he thinks he needs and what he can afford, as long as he has some money to save.
As for why he changed business, I don’t want him to suffer so much in the field, and I feel that he can’t grow too much land by himself, so it’s a bit difficult to be well-off, so I changed to something that can be easier, and by the way let those scented tea , Flower cakes make the best use of them.
As time passed, Xu Lian began to work hard for the small restaurant in his heart. He grew all the common vegetables he ate in his backyard, and he also planted some green onions, garlic and ginger, and planted as many vegetables as possible in the field. planted some more expensive
"Ah ------ are you picking flowers? These flowers are beautiful, but what's the use?" Xu Lian was enjoying picking flowers, when he heard Xue Chen Gao yelling and running over, seeing the flowers in his hand, he tilted his head asked curiously.In the past, Xu Lian said that these flowers are useless except for their beauty, and the juice of many flowers is difficult to wash, so Xu Lian refused to let him pick them, but now Xu Lian is actually picking these flowers, and he has picked a lot of them.
Xu Lian gently put the picked flowers into the frame behind him, and straightened his messy hair from picking flowers.He smiled and replied: "Looks good? And there are many uses, so why don't you make them into food?"
"Eat? Are these flowers edible? Ah, why didn't you say that before?" Xue Chen asked strangely. The two young people behind him also tilted their heads strangely when they heard Xu Lian's words, staring at Xu Lian. Looking at these flowers, I probably want to see how they can be eaten.
"Of course they can be eaten. I didn't say it before because I didn't know these flowers were edible until I----I heard it from someone in town. We can Pick off these petals, put them in a tea cup after drying, pour some hot water to make tea. It tastes very good, and you can smell the fragrance of flowers. You can also grind these flowers into powder and make delicious food with flour Flower cake, that flower cake is not only delicious, sweet and delicate, but also has a faint floral fragrance. Besides, we can put these flowers in a small bag, make a sachet, and carry it with us, then we can always be fragrant Yes." Xu Lian said holding a freshly picked flower.
"Auntie, the flowers you mentioned can be made into flower cakes, so can you make them for us to try? I don't eat much, just let me taste it. I never have I’ve made flower cakes to eat.” Xue Dahe’s saliva was about to flow from Xu Lian’s words, so he immediately ordered some cakes with him, fearing that he would not be able to eat them in the future, and also afraid that Xu Lian would think that he ate too much and would not let him eat. Eat, and then added a sentence.
"Okay, in the future, when my aunt is going to do something, I will definitely ask you to come over and eat together. Then you can eat with your stomach free." Seeing Lin Ming beside him with shining eyes, Xu Lian added: "At that time, Lin Ming, you will come too."
"Really, thank you, Xu." Lin Ming's eyes lit up happily, and he immediately agreed. "Xu Mo. Do you still want these flowers? Do you want us to help you pick them together?" After Lin Ming agreed, he remembered that his aunt had said that he could not eat other people's things casually, so he immediately added a sentence, if he helped pick them together It's not just eating Xu Momo's flower cake for nothing.
Xu Lian also understood what Lin Ming meant, and happily agreed.The other two immediately asked if they wanted to help themselves, Xu Lian also agreed, and told them to be careful not to be stabbed around or trip over the vines under their feet.
In the whole morning, apart from flying the kite at the beginning, the four of them spent the rest of the day picking flowers.There are quite a lot of varieties of flowers here. In addition to the above three familiar flowers, Xu Lian also found calendula and honeysuckle, two kinds of flowers that can clear away heat and reduce fire.In addition, he also found a mint plant, which can be said to be a bountiful harvest.
"Ah, I'm hungry." Xue Chen touched his stomach, pouted, and looked at Xu Lian pitifully.
Xu Lian looked at the sun, it was already noon, no wonder Chen'er was hungry.He took Xue Chen's little hand, wiped the mud and sweat off his face, and said, "Chen'er, I'm hungry, so let's go home and cook together, shall we?"
"En." Xue Chen nodded happily, and then ran to Lin Ming and Xue Dahe, saying, "Brother Dahe, Brother Ming, you're home, we're going home for dinner."
The two boys came back to their senses, now it's time to eat, and they actually forgot to go home for dinner.After recovering their senses, the two of them quickly ran to Xu Lian, handed the flowers they had picked to him, bid farewell and ran home without waiting for Xu Lian to say anything.
Before Xu Lian could react, he saw two figures running away.It seems that I missed their meal time, I don't know if their parents will talk about them.
I glanced at Xue Chen who was envious of how fast they ran, and thought about whether I should train him. Looking at his thin body, it would be impossible not to exercise well. Let him start running together tomorrow.After deciding, Xu Lian took his hand, went to the river to wash his hands, and prepared to go home and cook.
When I got to the river, I saw fat fish swimming in the river.Xu Lian couldn't help but patted his head. He actually forgot that there were fish in the river. When he first came here, he should have brought a fishing rod or something that could catch fish, so there would be fish to eat at noon. .
But now, I don’t have any tools in my hand, and the only tool—the bamboo basket also contains a pile of flowers and lunch for chickens and ducklings—can’t be used.Besides, there was a little one waiting to eat, so Xu Lian had to give up this idea.Let’s catch these fish next time. It is said that if you eat too much fish, you will become smarter. There is DHA in the fish --- the legendary brain gold.When I come back next time, I will find a way to make a fishing net bar, so that I can catch more fish.
With such thoughts in mind, the father and son Xu Lian and Xue Chen went home happily together.
The author has something to say: Scented tea is my favorite, many scented teas have different effects, and the taste is good, I suggest everyone to try it.The role of scented tea here is from Baidu, and I don’t know much about it------O(∩_∩)O~
9. Busy farming...
In the next few days, Xu Lian took as much time as possible to wash the picked flowers in the mountain spring and dry them in his yard. Easier to dry.
In fact, if you want to dry it faster, you can put the petals on the fire and slowly bake them, but the taste of the flowers will not be so good, so Xu Lian chose the most natural method, drying the petals in a sunbath.Aren't many Chinese herbal medicines also preserved by natural drying in the sun, and the reasons are probably the same.
Xue Chen heard that these petals can be eaten after they are dried, so he immediately raised his hand and asked himself to help dry the petals together so that the petals can be dried quickly.
Of course Xu Lian was happy that Xue Chen also helped, and after telling him what to do, he gave him some petals and let him bask in a low and sunny place.And he dried the petals on a tall shelf.There is no way to do this, because Xue Chen is only a little over five years old, less than six years old, and now he is just a young lady, so he can only be wronged to work in a low place.
Xue Chen didn't mind these, took his own petals, moved them under the sun, then moved a small stool by himself, sat in front of the petals, propped his chin to look at these flowers, and turned them from time to time, then The seriousness made Xu Lian couldn't help laughing. Sometimes Xu Lian teased him that he was going to go to the ground, and asked him if he wanted to go together. Xue Chen tilted his head and thought about it, and then seemed to do something As if making a major decision, he shook his head and said that he would not go, he wanted to stay at home and look at the petals, and he did not forget to wave to Xu Lian to say goodbye.
Sometimes Xu Lian really wanted to work in the field, but Xue Chen didn't go, just stayed at home to look at the petals, and prevented the chickens or ducklings at home from eating the petals, which made Xu Lian praise for a while.
Calculating the time, it has been two or three months since I arrived in this other world, and my life is getting better now, at least I don't have to worry about running out of food at home, and I don't need to borrow rice from others.My family now has some surplus food, raises some small animals, and grows crops in the fields. Although the life here is not as comfortable as in the 21st century, Xu Lian is still quite satisfied with the current life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. of.Many of my classmates used to call him "Xiaoqiang", probably because he also has some characteristics of Xiaoqiang himself, otherwise, whoever wakes up and finds someone calling your mother, it would be strange if he is not crazy.But he allowed Xue Chen to call him Ah Mo for so long, and he really regarded himself as his parent and worked hard to support him, which made people have to sigh at his tyrannical adaptability.
A few days ago, Xu Lian went down to look at the field. Some of the small vegetables in the field are almost grown, and they can be harvested in the past few days. I have grown a lot of Chinese cabbage at home. If I eat them all, I will definitely not be able to eat them. A lot, it seems that after collecting it, I will take it to the town to sell some.
Also, the vines from the sweet potatoes I planted a while ago sounded good, but now those vines are lush green, with luxuriant branches and leaves. I even picked some leaves to eat a few days ago, and the taste is not very good.These leaves are opened, and after finishing the Chinese cabbage, I have to quickly tidy up the ground, and then plant these sweet potato vines, so that the sweet potatoes can grow well.
I have to find time to weed the other vegetables. It has rained a few times in the past few days. After the rain, the grass is soaring upwards. Now the grass is still small, so it is easy to weed. , When the grass grows densely and firmly, it will take a lot of effort to remove it by yourself, and you must be careful not to hurt the roots of the surrounding crops. It will be very annoying at that time, so it is better to go early .
After making up his mind, Xu Lian moved a little faster.
After a few days of hard work, Xu Lian quickly collected all the vegetables from the field. Except for some to eat at home and pickled sauerkraut, he took the rest to the town to sell with Xue Shan's help. up.Because it was a newly harvested dish, Xu Lian sold it at a reasonable price, and it was sold out quickly. Although it was not much, he was still very happy. You must know that this was the first time he really used his The money obtained in exchange for the fruits of labor.In the past, he always felt that the things he got from the mountains and the money he sold were not his own. Although he was happy to get the money, he was not as excited as he is now.
After selling the vegetables, Xu Lian immediately started to plant sweet potato vines.The ground is the same as the one who planted sweet potatoes before. Xue Shan asked him strangely why he was so troublesome when he thought of when he first got it out.Xu Lian had seen his father do this before, and he really couldn't tell why, he just smiled and didn't answer.
Now that Xue Shan saw Xu Lian planting the rootless sweet potato vines in the ground, he was even more surprised, so he stopped him immediately. Does this vine have roots, and if it is planted like this, can it still survive?
Xu Lian explained to him for a long time, but he still didn't believe it, so Xu Lian showed him one of the vines. There were one or two thin roots on that vine. Xu Lian said that these vines with some small roots Plant them in the ground so they can live and grow more sweet potatoes that way.
Xue Shan looked at the two slender roots that seemed to be broken by the wind, but he still couldn't believe it. Finally, Xu Lian said that he heard it from others in the town, saying that it would be able to grow more. There are too many sweet potatoes, so I want to try planting an acre first.Xu Lian talked for a long time before Xue Shan agreed, thinking in his heart that if the harvest was not good in the future, he would help out again.
Later, when Xue Shan saw the green sweet potato vines in Xu Lian's field, he felt that books were really good things, and made up his mind to let his boy go to school to study.
Because Xu Lian is busy with field work these days, he has left some light household tasks to Xue Chen. He wants to dry flower petals and feed chickens and ducks. If Xue Chen can do these things well, Xu Lian will leave them to him. .In order to show Xu Lian that he has grown up now, Xue Chen happily accepted, squatting in front of the petals and chickens and ducks every day, watching them.
At noon that day, Xu Lian just came back from the field when he heard Xue Chen running out excitedly, holding a light yellow egg in his hand, and happily said to Xu Lian: "Ah, egg, ah!" Well, there are balls."
Eggs?Xu Lian didn't react for a while, but when he saw the egg in Xue Chen's hand, he asked him stupidly: "Chen'er, where did this egg come from?"
After hearing this, Xue Chen immediately said excitedly: "The chick at home has laid eggs. I just saw this in the chick's nest."
ah?Are your chickens starting to lay eggs?Although Xu Lian knew that chickens would lay eggs, he didn't know when the chicks started to lay eggs. Looking at this tiny egg, he didn't realize that the chickens at home started to lay eggs.
lay eggs?So his chicken-and-egg plan can be realized soon?
Xu Lian was also happy when he thought about it, and he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. It took him a while to realize that he wanted to see if the egg was a fertilized egg. He immediately looked at the egg to the sun for a long time before he was disappointed. I found that the egg had no black spots at all, and it was impossible to hatch a chick.
Xue Chen was surprised that Xu Lian was holding the egg and looking at it in the sun. After taking the egg from Xu Lian's hand, he himself looked at the egg in the sunlight in the same way, but there was nothing?Xue Chen stared at Xu Lian curiously, with doubts shining in his big eyes.
After Xu Lian saw it, he told him that if he could look at the sun like this and see black spots, it meant that there was a chick living in the egg, and a chick would probably come out in the future.
Xue Chen seemed to understand what he heard, but for a long time afterwards, people often saw Xue Chen pointing his hand at the sun and wondering what he was looking at.
After Xu Lian knew that the chickens had started to lay eggs, he actively prepared all kinds of delicious food to nourish the chickens, so that they could lay eggs more frequently, so that they could lay fertilized eggs earlier.

10. Flower cake and scented tea come out...
After the chickens at home started laying eggs, Xu Lian looked at them himself. The first few eggs were very small, and none of them were fertilized eggs. Thinking about it, it has been a long time since the family has eaten eggs, and now Xue Chen is growing up. , Xu Lian made the eggs he received every day into steamed eggs for Xue Chen to eat.
Xue Chen likes to eat this slippery and soft egg very much. Knowing that these eggs are laid by chicks, and more chicks will come out of the eggs and produce a lot of eggs, Xue Chen immediately told Xu Lian Make sure you feed these chickens well in the future.As for the ducklings that didn't lay eggs, they were gorgeously forgotten by him.
In addition, in the past few days, Xue Chen often took the petals that were almost dried and asked Xu Lian: "Ah, is this kind of petals okay?"
At first, Xu Lian took it over and looked at it, thinking that it should be almost enough to make tea, but if he wants to keep the flowers for a longer time in the future, he still needs to dry them more. Looking back, he looked at Xue Chen's two shiny flowers. Xu Lian still decided to say, "It's not enough, I need to expose my eyes again."
Then, I saw Xue Chenta pulling his ears, lowering his head, and returning to the petals weakly, turning the petals weakly, and muttering in his mouth: "Petals, petals, hurry up, so I I can eat you."
Xu Lian's mouth twitched, thinking very unkindly, if these petals have thoughts and know Xue Chen's thoughts, they will probably become even wetter in an instant-------wet!
Finally, after Xue Chen asked for the nth time, Xu Lian nodded and said that these petals were edible.Xue Chen almost jumped up happily.
Xu Lian brought some petals from his family. Some of them were processed in the simplest way, which was to make tea, and others were made into flower cakes according to Xue Chen's request.
Knowing that flower petals can be used to make flower cakes, Xue Chen pestered Xu Lian early in the morning to ask him to buy some flour at home. The flour used to be eaten when Xu Lian was still there, so there was no need to make these flower cakes. , So after selling the vegetables at home, Xu Lian bought some flour at Xue Chen's request.
With these flours, the next thing will be less laborious. Xu Lian weighed some petals, crushed them finely, and then mixed them with flour and kneaded them in boiling hot water to fully mix the flour and petal powder. After seeing that the flour was almost kneaded, Xu Lianzai put the kneaded flour aside to let him wake up properly.After kneading several types of flour, after waking up, Xu Lian made these noodles into round cakes.The reason is that the pie shape is the most labor-saving and simple.When it is best, take it to the steamer and steam it for a while, wait for a few minutes, and then check if it is cooked, and serve it out directly when it is cooked.
As soon as the flower cake came out of the oven, Xue Chen next to him couldn't help it, and immediately grabbed a piece with his hand and wanted to stuff it into his mouth. Unfortunately, the freshly baked flower cake was still warm, and that temperature is definitely not the same as that of Xue Chen, who has delicate skin and tender meat. It was unbearable, so Xue Chen unfortunately got burned.The hand holding the flower cake almost didn't throw the flower cake in his hand to the ground, but shook his hand and threw it on the table, hugging his hot hand, the tears in his eyes gradually increased, looking pitifully. Looking at Xu Lian, his mouth was flattened, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Xu Lian had no choice but to grab his hand, put it in the water, and scolded with a smile: "Is there something I won't give you to eat, you need it, are you so impatient? Seeing that you burned your hand, are you happy?"
"Unhappy, it hurts!" Xue Chen looked at his burnt fingers and said with a flat mouth.
"It's good to know that it hurts, but you can't do this in the future, you know? Others are impatient and can't eat hot tofu, but I think you can't eat cold flower cake in a hurry." Xu Lian nodded Xue Chen's head and said.
"I don't eat tofu, I want flower cakes." The little Xue Chen didn't understand what Xu Lian meant by saying this, fearing that Xu Lian wouldn't give him flower cakes later, he immediately emphasized that what he wanted was flower cakes.
kindness?The current Xue Chen should send him to school to learn some knowledge. Even if he doesn't need to go to the exam to obtain fame in the future, it is good to have some knowledge, at least he won't be so easily deceived.Although he himself is a college student anyway, the characters in the two worlds are different, and he can't understand them at all.Send Xue Chen to school now so that he can make more friends, now Xue Chen's playmates are Xue Dahe and Lin Ming who picked flowers together last time, this is not acceptable.Thinking of this, Xu Lian made up his mind to send Xue Chen to school to study.
However, although it is not mandatory to pay for going to the school, at least the basic training is needed. Xu Lian has to prepare well for these things. Don't think about it now, the food is the most important thing now.
Put the steamed flower cake on a plate and bring it to the dining table. After giving Xue Chen a piece of cake to taste, he went back to the kitchen and brought out the freshly cooked soup. Today's lunch was settled like this.Flower cake with fresh soup, one mouthful of flower cake and one mouthful of soup, the mouth is full of fragrance and umami, after the meal, each person has a cup of scented flower tea to digest food, this meal can be eaten by two people, one big and one small I was very satisfied, and finally touched my chubby belly. I ate too much at noon, and then Xue Chen lay next to Xu Lian, begging to rub his belly!
After taking a break at noon, when the sun was not too high, Xue Chen took a small basket containing flower cakes and flower tea to find Xue Dahe and Lin Ming to play.Ah Mo said that a good boy has good things to share, and Xue Chen felt that he was a good boy, so he took his favorite flower cake and scented tea and went out to find his good friends.
Seeing that Xue Chen had gone out to play, Xu Lian saw that there were still a lot of flower cakes left on the table, so he took some of them out to Xue Shan's house.Xue Dahe is usually not at home at this time, and a group of children have their own secret base, so Xu Lian asked Xue Chen to find the two young ones with food, after all, they had a share in picking flowers back then.Moreover, there is still a relationship between my family and Xue Shan's family. It is good to use these gadgets to connect with each other. What's more, I want to know about the situation of Shu Xiu here from Lin Yue later.
When Xu Lian arrived at Xue Shan's house, Xue Shan had already gone out to work in the fields.Lin Yue still stays at home and does housework. Now that the work in the field is not very busy, Lin Yue doesn't need to go to the field with Xue Shan every day. She just raises chickens, cooks rice, makes clothes and so on at home.
When Xu Lian entered the door, he happened to see Lin Yue sitting in the yard making clothes. Seeing his needlework fluttering, Xu Lian felt strange.In his previous life, he had never seen that man sewing with a needle. Even if there were not many girls, there were not many girls, but now he saw a man sitting in the yard, flying needles and threading there, slowly Lian said that he did not accept it well.
"Alian, why are you free to come here today? Why are you still standing at the door, come in quickly." Lin Yue, who was making clothes, felt someone coming in, and raised her head, so she could see Xu Lian standing at the door stupidly .
"Oh, sister-in-law, you are making clothes, huh? Why are they all small clothes? Who are they for?" Xu Lian looked at a small dress not much bigger than his palm in front of him, and asked strangely .
Unexpectedly, looking up and seeing Lin Yue's shy look in joy, Xu Lian was embarrassed once again gorgeously.
"For the baby in my belly." Lin Yue felt a little embarrassed when she thought about it. She wanted to have another baby a few years ago, but she never got pregnant. She didn't expect that Dahe is so big now, and she can wait for a few years Said brother, and I was pregnant again, and I and Dashan were happy for a while.
"Baby? What baby?" Xu Lian hadn't seen the pregnant man until here, and now Lin Yueyi said that he didn't realize it all at once, and when he did, he immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Yue who was still flat Belly, there is a baby here?Can men have children?Poor Xu Lian completely forgot that kid Xue Chen came out of his stomach.
"What are you looking at? It's only been two months now, and you still can't see anything. If you want a baby, when my uncle comes back, you are working hard, and you will definitely be able to give birth to a few more." Lin Yue Seeing Xu Lian staring at his stomach all the time, it was a joke to Xu Lian.
Hearing what he said, Xu Lian thought about how a man would look like when he was pregnant, tall and strong body, legs that couldn't be closed because of his big belly, and a big belly on top --- his own face, and he shuddered Shiver, don't, absolutely don't, he doesn't want to get pregnant like a woman.Fortunately, that man went to the battlefield and I don't know if he can come back. Even if he comes back, I have to divorce him, so he doesn't want to be reduced to a child-bearing tool.
"Hey, Alian, what are you bringing? Why is there still a scent of flowers?" Lin Yue asked looking at the small basket Xu Lian brought.
"Oh, these are some cakes I made. They are made of flower petals. I bring them here for you to taste and see how they taste." Xu Lianbie and Lin Yue thought about her purpose of coming and took out her cakes , give him a taste.
Lin Yue looked at this cake-like flower cake, a little strange, can flowers be eaten?But after smelling the alluring fragrance of the flower cake, I still didn't resist the temptation in the end. I took a piece to taste, um ----- the entrance is delicate, sweet but not greasy, and it also has a faint floral fragrance.Lin Yue ate one piece and wanted to eat another piece, but eating these pastries alone was a little dry. At this time, Xue Chen hurriedly handed over a cup of scented tea, and another scent of flowers came to her nostrils, but the scent of flowers in her mouth was not as strong as before. The glass of water in my mouth is diluted but more concentrated, feeling as if I am staying in the garden.
"Is this flower cake delicious?" Xu Lian asked beside him. In fact, he knew the result without asking. Didn't you see that he wanted to eat another piece after eating one?
"It's delicious, A-Lian, the cakes you make are even better than those in the pastry shop in the town. If you sell them there, many people will buy them, and your tea is just right to eat with this flower cake." Yes." Lin Yue said happily.
"I'm just doing it casually, and I can't compare with those in those shops. Oh, by the way, I came here today to ask you something, that is, Chen'er is almost six years old, and I want to send him to the school to learn I don’t ask him to read a lot of things, but I only ask him to know a few words, so that he won’t suffer in the future, so I want to ask how Shu Xiu, who was sent to the school, counts.” Xu Lianyou said embarrassingly .
"Shuxiu? You can just send some eggs and some food you always have at home. The old master is not that particular about it. But Chen'er is a brother, I'm really not sure if he will accept it or not. " Lin Yue said.
"That's it! Then I'll take Chen'er to take a look at it tomorrow and talk about it." Xu Lian thought about it after hearing Lin Yue's words.

11. Go to school...
The next day, Xu Lian took some dried scented tea, camellia leaves, preserved bacon and sauerkraut, as well as a growing hen at home, to the school with Xue Chen.
The camellia was found by Xu Lian when he went up the mountain to hunt for treasures. Those tea trees were sprouting new buds at that time. Xu Lian felt itchy when he saw it. Seeing the tender tea leaves, Xu Lian couldn't help picking them all back. After returning home, Xu Lian put the tea leaves in a pot and slowly fried them until the air was filled with a faint tea fragrance. Stop, Xu Lian also drank it into the current camellia after these rough processing, and the taste is quite good, although it is not as good as the tea he drank before, but it is about the same.As for the scented tea, Xu Lian specially chose the scented tea that clears away heat, relieves fire and moisturizes the throat. The weather will be hot in the future, and the old master will talk all day long, so he will get thirsty easily. It’s good to send these scented teas, so that the old man can drink refreshing scented tea Lectures at the same time, isn't it pretty good?
The bacon was caught by Xu Lian on the mountain. In fact, Xu Lian dug a few traps on the mountain and used some sharp wooden sticks in the traps. Those hares fell into the traps and were fixed there by those wooden sticks. Unable to dig holes to escape, Xu Lian was very lucky to catch several wild rabbits, and when Xu Lian saw them, those rabbits had already died.That night Xu Lian and Xue Chen had a good meal of rabbit meat.After the meal, Xu Lian marinated the unfinished rabbit meat and made it into bacon, so that it can be eaten for a longer time.And Xu Lian didn't waste the rabbit skin, so he asked Orion in the village to help him deal with it, and wanted to make a dress for Xue Chen in winter.
When they arrived at the school, some children had already started reading, and the sound of reading came from the school, and Xu Lian thought of a couplet he had seen before: "The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading is in my ears, family affairs, state affairs, world affairs matter of concern."
He himself can hear the sound of the wind, the rain, and the sound of reading, but he only cares about family affairs.The other two things can only be forgiven him for being powerless. Xu Lian knows that he is not a savior hero, and he is not capable of becoming a savior hero like other time-traveling characters. He is just a small farmer, and he I am also willing to be an anonymous farmer.
The old master in the room saw Xu Lian and Xue Chen standing outside the door, told his students to continue reading, and walked towards them.
Seeing the old master come out, Xu Lian greeted him politely and explained his purpose of coming.
The old master stroked the gray goatee on his chin, carefully looked up and down Xue Chen who was standing next to Xu Lian, and saw that Xue Chen unconsciously hid behind Xu Lian.After a long time, the old master nodded slightly and said: "Well, this brother is not bad. I will come to the school to teach in the future. You have to prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone by yourself. I have some basic books. You don't need to prepare them, prepare them yourself. I don’t have any objection to that. I don’t have many rules here, but you have to be serious when you study here, and you can’t intentionally cause trouble. If you are discovered by me, you will be punished by me, you know?” After seeing Xue Chen nodding, The old master explained some points that need to be paid attention to, so he asked Xue Chen to sit with a few brothers in the school.
Xu Lian took this opportunity to take a good look at the school. Now there are nearly twenty people in the school, most of them are boys, there are not many brothers, only four or five, and they are all about the same age. Under the age of ten, the older children all went to work in the field, while the parents of the younger children were too troublesome to take care of them, so they were all sent to school.Brothers are more precious in this society, and there are not many who send their brothers to school, most of them are brothers with deep forehead marks, maybe their parents want to marry these brothers to the town , or a good person's house, I can marry a better person after learning some words.
Now there are about five buddies in this school, the old master doesn't have high requirements for these buddies, as long as they don't make noise in class and know some words.
Xu Lian handed over the Shuxiu he had brought to the old master, and told Xue Chen to be obedient, to attend class seriously, not to cause trouble, to respect teachers, and to love classmates. After explaining a lot, he let Xue Chen enter the school, and watched Xue Chen enter the school , and left without worry.
Unconsciously, Xu Lian thought that when he first entered kindergarten, his mother sent him to the first class in the same way. Before going to school, he still told him to listen to the teacher carefully and get along with other students. .Unexpectedly, on the first day of school, he was accidentally stung by a bee. Looking at his swollen fingers, Xu Lian endured the tears in his eyes and ran back home secretly. His grandfather saw him and knew that he had been stung by a bee. When the bee stung, I picked some pumpkin petals, kneaded them until there was some juice, then applied the flowers and honey to the wound, and then bandaged it with gauze.Unexpectedly, after wrapping up like this for a period of time, the wound will not hurt, and the wound will disappear soon.Later, when my mother found out that she had sneaked out of the kindergarten, she told herself harshly.Although I was heartbroken that I was stung by a bee, I still forced myself to go to the kindergarten to apologize to the teacher.
Letting go of the uneasiness in his heart, Xu Lian went home alone and continued to work on his own affairs.
Xu Lian, who came home, looked at the petals still drying in the yard, and thought about what Lin Yue said yesterday. Can it be sold in the town, and can this scented tea be well received by most people?
Farming the land by myself is only half-baked. I don't know if I can grow it well, and can I become well-off by farming?There are also chickens and ducks. The chickens and ducks at home have not grown up yet, and I don’t know when they will grow to a certain size!In this case, if I can open a small restaurant, I am afraid that I will not be able to open a restaurant based on what I have seen in the 21st century?
Then, can I open a small restaurant in the town to sell these flower cakes and scented tea.These flower teas and flower cakes do not exist in this world. Does this count as innovation?
But to open a restaurant, you need money, a lot of money, and what can you do with only one or two taels of money on hand?Probably after buying some bowls and chopsticks, I have no money to do other things, so I still can't open my own restaurant.
Eh!money!money!money!
Money is not everything, and without money, nothing is impossible. This sentence is really a wise saying!
Xu Lian sighed, he had better think of a way!
12
12. Entering business...
The author has something to say: Some readers wonder why Xu Lian is so calm about being a brother, and why is he so good at spending money?
Let me explain here, Xu Lian is calm about becoming a brother because his appearance and structure are the same as before, and he has not faced the things that brothers should care about: marrying, he has already married, and there is another Son, but fortunately his husband is not around; there is no need to find a master, no one is forcing him to find another husband.As for whether Xue Chen wanted to call him Ah, he was just struggling, knowing that he couldn't change it at will, so he reluctantly ended it.
As for spending money, although he is a child from the countryside, but because he is an only child, he is still favored by his family, so he is not very good at managing money. Like many people, the first day he gets his salary is to go out and have a good time. So it appears that when he gets the money, he buys what he thinks he needs and what he can afford, as long as he has some money to save.
As for why he changed business, I don’t want him to suffer so much in the field, and I feel that he can’t grow too much land by himself, so it’s a bit difficult to be well-off, so I changed to something that can be easier, and by the way let those scented tea , Flower cakes make the best use of them.
As time passed, Xu Lian began to work hard for the small restaurant in his heart. He grew all the common vegetables he ate in his backyard, and he also planted some green onions, garlic and ginger, and planted as many vegetables as possible in the field. planted some more expensive
