Be a master through ancient times

Bay County.

"Old sister, are you all right? Hurry up!"

An old woman with gray hair stood outside a hut and shouted loudly. From time to time, she stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance, with an eager expression on her face.

"Okay, okay, I just want to wash those bowls." The urged Aunt Lan took off the dark brown apron while speaking.

"Why do you still wash the dishes? If you go late, there will be no place, and then don't even think about eggs!" Aunt Zhang just saw a few old people going there again.

"What's the hurry, it's still early!" Although Aunt Lan said so, it was obvious that her movements were much faster.

"Don't be in a hurry, then you can get two eggs in a while! Yesterday I took it home and cooked it for my little grandson. It was delicious..."

"Isn't it! My grandson also likes to eat it, and insists on giving it to me too..."

They walked forward while chatting, with happy smiles on their faces, which made the two foreigners following behind a little strange.

"Master, did you hear what they said?" A man dressed as a servant asked curiously.

"Nonsense, I'm not deaf, your young master!" The man dressed as the young master knocked the boy's head with the folding fan in his hand, "Go and ask, where are they going? Let's join in the fun."

The young man held his forehead sadly: "Master, aren't we going to find Mr. Chu?"

"I said, little Chengzi, you are getting better and better. If I tell you to ask, just ask. Where are you talking?" Many people gathered towards the same place, and they didn't know what they were going to do. Shouldn't he inquire about the news for Brother Chu?

"Oh." Xiao Chengzi responded, pushed the burden on her shoulders, and trotted up to inquire about the situation.His round face was very small, those old women liked young people like this, and when he asked him, they told him the reason without any concealment.

Xiao Chengzi took it down carefully, thanked them, and ran back: "Master, I found out. They are going to a village ahead. It is said that someone set up a platform there to hold some kind of lecture? Anyone can attend, and every time Anyone who hears from the beginning to the end can take two eggs back."

"Lecture?" Zhang Wenhai read it in doubt, not knowing what it meant, maybe it was another way of saying Fujian opera.In his opinion, isn't setting up the stage just for singing?

"Yeah, it's just the lecture. Young master, let's go too. After listening, you can get four eggs." Xiao Chengzi was a little excited. Although he could eat eggs every day, he bought them with his own money and gave them away for free. Can it be the same?

Zhang Wenhai picked up his fan and knocked on him again: "Can you be a little bit promising, young master, I am short of your food and drink?"

Xiao Chengzi saw him staring fiercely, and immediately asked anxiously: "Then, shall we still go?"

"Of course." Zhang Wenhai stepped forward, "But young master, I didn't go for those eggs."

Little Chengzi scratched her head: Is there a difference?Then will you send out the eggs or not?

"Oh, young master, wait for me!"

Zhang Wenhai turned his head and glared at him, but his speed still slowed down a little.When the two of them arrived, the front was already full of people.

This place should be the sun-drying field in this village. The location is very large. There is a high table in the front, and there are many long or short stools underneath. Some people moved their own haystacks to sit on. People simply sat on the stones beside the road and listened.

At this time, there was no one on the stage, only a table and a chair were placed.Looking from a distance, there was an object on the table. It was big and round at the front, and narrow at the back. It looked like it was made of brass, and it looked very strange.

A lot of thoughts came to Zhang Wenhai's mind in an instant, and he always felt that something was wrong with this place, like some kind of cult organization, and there was a "sacred object" on it.He decided to wait and see what happened, and if the people on the stage said something outrageous, he must write it down.It will be a great achievement to tell Brother Chu at that time.

Standing beside Zhang Wenhai, Xiao Chengzi looked at the implied excitement on his face and didn't understand why.

It was probably because the two big men stood too abruptly among a group of old men and women. Someone tugged them and handed them a bench.

Zhang Wenhai and Xiao Chengzi sat down after thanking them. Seeing that they were quite easy-going, the others couldn't help but strike up a conversation.Because they wanted to know why the man dressed as the son in front of him would squeeze in with them to receive the eggs.

Zhang Wenhai chatted with them with the idea of ​​finding out the news. Through the chat, he knew that the person who gave the "lecture" was an extremely handsome and personable young man.The man was also said to be very interesting to talk to, and knew a great deal.

It seems that this person is not shallow!Zhang Wenhai smiled, but he became more vigilant in his heart.These villagers seemed to be taken aback by that man, and they didn't know what his purpose was. How could someone give eggs to others for free?His father used to say that there is no pie in the sky.This person must have a conspiracy!

"Cough cough!"

Zhang Wenhai was chatting vigorously, but suddenly there was a loud noise from the grain drying field, which seemed to ring in their ears, and it sounded very real.He was extremely shocked in his heart, but when he looked up, except for him and Xiao Chengzi who opened their mouths and made a stupid look, everyone else looked familiar.

"Hello, grandpa and aunt, everyone came early today." There was another sentence in the air, which was still very clear, and even the smile in that sentence could be clearly heard.

Zhang Wenhai felt that the voice sounded familiar.He subconsciously stood up and looked towards the stage, but he was sitting too far away from the stage, and the person on the stage was covered by the brass object, so he couldn't see who that person was at all.

Because he stood for a long time, the people behind him began to protest, so Zhang Wenhai had to sit down and listen carefully to what the man said.

"...Yesterday we talked about how to look at the sky. I wonder if you still remember? The sun rises early and laughs."

"The temple was ruined by the heavy rain!" The grandparents in the audience shouted together, they remembered this clearly.

"Sunset dark clouds rise." Another sentence came from the stage.

"Listen to the sound of the rain in the middle of the night!" The audience immediately answered.

Zhang Wenhai listened to them singing together, maybe he didn't understand it at first, but he heard everything clearly later.This person compiled the method of checking the weather into easy-to-understand proverbs and passed them on to these common people, so that they can use these methods to distinguish the weather.

"It seems that everyone remembers it very clearly. So what we are going to talk about today is how to fertilize the land. Every farmer knows that what is the most important thing for the crops to grow well? Naturally, the land must be fertile. Some people live by fishing. In addition to our living by the sea, there is another important reason, that is, our land is not fertile, and the crops are not growing well. If the crops are not produced, the people will not have enough to eat , naturally we have to go fishing. However, not every household has a strong man who can go to sea, and it is not a problem to eat fish every day, and sometimes we can’t even eat fish. If we want not to be hungry, we can only find ways to let Fertilize the land and make the harvest better."

"But those good fields are in the hands of rich men, and our thin fields can't even grow grass well." Someone said.

"Yes, the more the land is planted, the thinner it is. The land that could harvest two tans of grain in previous years only harvested one and a half tans last year."

Both men and women in the village have to go to the fields, so when the topic of livelihood is brought up, most of the common people feel aggrieved and express their feelings.Zhang Wenhai, as a member of the Fugui Master, sat shivering in it.

"It seems that everyone has this problem. Although we can't choose whether the land is good or bad, we can find ways to turn bad land into good land. So today, let's talk about how to fertilize the land. First of all, we need to know Which crops nourish the land, and which crops harm the land..."

The people on the stage talked freely, and from time to time they would say a few witty words to make everyone happy.Because it involves people's livelihood, everyone listened very carefully.Some of the old peasants nodded as they listened. They had tried some of this before, but they couldn't generalize it like this, nor could they explain exactly why they did it.

Zhang Wenhai didn't take it lightly at first, but later he became fascinated by it.Although their family also focuses on business, they also have a lot of fields, including good fields and bad fields.If he followed what the people on the stage said, maybe his family's bad fields could be turned into good ones, and they could harvest a lot more food.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the big guy still had something to say.It will be spring plowing soon, and they want to learn more and use it later, so that they can harvest a few more catties of grain and go home in autumn.

The people on the stage seemed to notice it too. He comforted everyone first, and then said: "I will stop here today. If you still want to listen, you can come back tomorrow. Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't come tomorrow. If you have a scholar at home, you can read "Qimin Yaoshu", "Nongsang Jiyao", "Nongshu", etc. Most of what I said today is above."

"The book still deals with our common people's farming?" Some people asked in surprise. They thought that reading only taught people to be officials, but they didn't expect that there were books on farming.

"Of course." The people on the stage laughed again, "There are thousands of bells in the book, and there is a golden house in the book. As long as you can read and write, you can pass on your own experience and let future generations have a law to follow. There is no need to worry about the technique being lost without word of mouth.”

The common people all nodded, if everyone can read and write, then this method is really good.

The man said a few more words, and then asked everyone to come back tomorrow, but there would be no eggs to collect tomorrow.

The common people said that it doesn't matter if there are no eggs, even if they don't send out today, they don't care, after all, what they have learned is much more valuable than two eggs.

The people on the stage said that he will definitely do what he said, and today's eggs will be distributed no matter what.With that said, let everyone line up to go to the front to get the eggs.

"Hey, that's great! As expected of someone who has read the book, he knows a lot!"

"That's right! I didn't expect there to be books teaching people how to farm. Do you think there are books teaching people how to fish?"

"Maybe there is! But no one in your family can read and write, and you can't learn it!"

"Who said no one? My little grandson can write his own name..."

Zhang Wenhai was at the back, listening to the lively discussion of the people in front.He would like to retort that there are no books teaching people how to fish, and reading is not for fishing at all. How can such an elegant thing be compared with these mundane things?

But he also knew that this remark would definitely not please him, and more importantly, he had just obtained the benefits of the agricultural book, so how could he immediately criticize him?

Xiao Chengzi didn't understand what his young master was struggling with, he was just wondering, he had clearly said it wasn't for the eggs, but why did his young master rush to the front as soon as the egg was mentioned?

He stretched his neck and stood on tiptoe to look forward desperately. When he saw clearly the person standing in the corner of the table, his mouth immediately opened to swallow an egg.

"Young Master, Young Master!" Xiao Chengzi excitedly ran to the front of the line and pulled Zhang Wenhai out.

"What are you doing?!" Zhang Wenhai was very displeased, and he wanted to go ahead to see the real face of that person.

"Chu... Mr. Chu! I saw Mr. Chu!" They came to Fujian this time to find Chu Ci, but they unexpectedly ran into them as soon as they landed!
