Because the thesis topic of the college examination was drawn from the short essays written by the Holy Master, Li Qiao naturally knew every small essay written by the Holy Master by heart.
Right now, Jiang Zhixian quoted the words in it, and he heard it all at once.
But he couldn't show this doubt, he could only be respectful, saying that the matter of affiliation would be handled soon, and he would personally make some vermicelli and green balls stuffed with egg yolk and meat.
Jiangzhi County was very satisfied with his answer, and then sent them away, emphasizing once again that they must be quick, so as not to delay the New Year's ceremony.
After coming out of the county office, Tao Zhu was still a little dazed. He subconsciously looked at Li Qiao, who was his backbone at this time.
He is a little country man, he never thought about meeting the magistrate alone before, just now he was so nervous that he had nothing in his mind, he could only look at Li Qiao from the corner of his eye, he would do whatever Li Qiao was doing .
Now that he was out of the county government office, he breathed a long breath as if he had found a soul.
He almost forgot to breathe just now!
"Are you scared?"
Seeing Tao Zhu raised his hand and patted his heart lightly, Li Qiao quickly stretched out his hand to grab his other hand: "Don't be afraid, the county magistrate is kind and down-to-earth, and there were a lot of plants growing in the room just now." Garlic sprouts, and they are growing very well."
"Garlic sprouts?"
Tao Zhu was a little surprised.
Just now he was only nervous, his eyes were fixed on his toes, and he didn't notice the furnishings in the room at all.
"Yes, it's garlic sprouts. Being able to grow garlic sprouts yourself, combined with your daily actions, is enough to prove that you are a good official who cares about the people. So don't be afraid."
Li Qiao said, leading the ox cart with one hand and Tao Zhu's hand with the other, and walked slowly towards the gate of the city.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and it hit his face directly, and also slipped into his clothes along the sleeves, Tao Zhu shivered from the cold.
The froze brain finally returned to normal.
"Put on the gloves, don't get cold." Sensing that Li Qiao's hands were a bit cold, he let go of Li Qiao's hand and urged Li Qiao to put on the gloves.
"How are you?" Li Qiao stared at his face, observing his complexion carefully.
"Okay, okay, I'm just a little confused."
Tao Zhu said, going to get the gloves.
The gloves were put on the bullock cart, and they were warm after eating at the Moon Tower, so the two of them didn't wear gloves when they came out.
But now it's an hour before lunch, and the warmth from the food is gone. If I don't wear gloves, I'm afraid I'm going to freeze.
While handing the glove to Li Qiao, he said, "I was a little scared at first, but now that I think about it, with you, no matter what happens, I can bear it." As long as I'm with this person, whatever happens
, He is not afraid.
"It's right to think about it this way. As long as we are together, we can overcome any hurdle."
Li Qiao took the gloves, put them on, and let Tao Zhu get on the ox cart: "Let's go find Brother Wen, and don't go back to the village yet. "
Looking for Brother Wen?"
"Yes, he lives in the county seat and has better information than I do. I want to ask him about the county magistrate."
He knew too little about the county magistrate, so Zhuang Wen knew for sure more than him.
So, Li Qiao took the ox cart and turned to Zhuang Wen's small courtyard in the county seat.
When we arrived at the small courtyard, the manor was there.
The manor came to take his parents and younger brother home.
It's the twelfth lunar month, and it's only a few days before the private school's holiday. In addition, Zhuang Wen felt that instead of studying hard in the county, it's better to go back to the village to discuss with Li Qiao, so he simply packed up his things and went home early for the New Year.
Zhuang Wen was surprised and happy when he saw Li Qiao.
But now is not the time to talk. If you don't go back to the village, you will have to travel at night. It gets dark early in winter.
So, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu helped carry the luggage, and soon after packing, the two ox carts headed towards Sanliu Village against the cold wind.
As soon as he left the county town, there were small snowflakes in the sky. Zhuang Wen wrapped his fox fur cloak tightly around his body and held a small hand stove in his hand. He got off his own ox cart, and then got into Li Qiao's ox cart .
"Brother, why were you looking for brother just now?"
Zhuang Wen sat behind Li Qiao and Tao Zhu, huddled in his cloak, only showing a pair of eyes looking at Li Qiao.
He is getting old, his body is not as good as that of a young man, and he is not resistant to cold.
"It's not a big deal, it's just..." Li Qiao briefly explained how the county magistrate sought him out.
He was downplaying it, but Zhuang Wen almost jumped up on the spot when he heard it, and threw the small hand stove in his hand in fright: "Isn't this a big deal?
" line of sight.
Grandpa of the county!
"Er..." Li Qiao picked up the hand stove that fell aside: "Brother Wen is right, this is a big deal!"
Zhuang Wen took over the hand stove, but his mind was no longer on keeping warm. He leaned closer to Li Qiao and confirmed nervously: "The magistrate did not test your knowledge, but only asked about the sweet potato workshop?" "Yes. He wanted
to Buy some souvenirs for relatives and friends."
"Then this is a good thing!"
Zhuang Wen patted his thigh with an excited expression: "Our magistrate is a second-class Jinshi in the first year of Shengping. With his grades, he couldn't do it directly. He was an official of the Imperial Academy, but he wrote a good policy and theory, so the Holy Majesty made an exception and let him enter the Imperial Academy." "After staying in the Imperial Academy for two years, he
was released to Pingcheng and became the county magistrate of our Pingcheng."
According to Sheng's rules, except for the No. 1, No. 2, and Tanhua who can directly enter the Imperial Academy, the remaining second- and third-tier Jinshi want to enter the Imperial Academy as officials, so they must first continue their studies as Shuji scholars in the Imperial Academy for a period of time.
Shujishi is just a kind of status, not a formal official position, but he also gets a salary from the court. Only after passing the Shujishi examination can he hold a formal official position in the Imperial Academy.
Because Jiang Zhixian's policy essays were quite sagely written, the Holy Majesty let him directly enter the Hanlin Academy, first as a reviewer of the seventh rank, majoring in ancient history.
Two years later, he was released to the outside world and became the county magistrate of the seventh rank, truly controlling the power of the county.
Of course, for many people, Beijing officials of the seventh rank are more popular than the local officials of the seventh rank, especially those of the Hanlin Academy, which are the reserve of Dasheng officials.
But for Zhuang Wen who had studied for 30 years and couldn't even pass the exam as a scholar, the magistrate of the seventh rank is already a great official.
Now this terrific high official actually had a special opinion of Li Qiao, he was excited, happy and envious.
Hearing Zhuang Wen's words, Li Qiao couldn't help but suddenly said: "The second-class Jinshi in the first year of Shengping, so the emperor was admitted to the Jinshi as soon as he came to the throne."
Shengping is the reign title of the current emperor.
And Jiangzhi County is more than forty years old. In other words, Jiangzhi County also studied for more than 20 years before being admitted to the imperial examination.
In addition, the current emperor made an exception and let him enter the Hanlin Academy as a second-class Jinshi, so it's no wonder that Jiang Zhixian likes to quote the emperor's short essays when he speaks.
This is the grace of knowledge and encounter.
This is a great grace that changes fate more than mountains.
"When the Magistrate speaks, he always quotes the words from the Holy Master's article. Is this actually a disguised emphasis?"
He asked again.
The chief examiner of the county examination is the county magistrate, who is also one of the examiners.
This is the starting point for all scholars to embark on the road of imperial examinations, so it is very important to find out the preferences of this county magistrate.
But Zhuang Wen said: "Don't think about it for now. Mr. Jiang's three-year term of office is about to expire. If he doesn't transfer, it's not too late for you to study his preferences. You won't take the county exam next year. "
He didn't think that Jiang Zhi County could give Li Qiao any help in the imperial examination.
"...That's right."
Li Qiao raised his hand and patted his forehead, but he forgot about it.
However, as long as Jiangzhi County is still in Pingcheng, he is the boss of Pingcheng, and the boss's account must be done properly.
Especially when the other party has to give gifts with vermicelli and youth groups.
He can't make a mistake in this, or he will be aborted before the imperial examination starts.
There is also the matter of relying on.
Li Qiao really forgot about this before, because the money he and Tao Zhu are earning every day seems to be a lot, but after careful calculation, it is still far away from ten thousand taels.
Now the Sweet Potato Workshop can make about five or six hundred catties of vermicelli a day, and he only pays four cents for a catty of vermicelli.
Even if it is based on six hundred catties and five Wen, he can only earn three taels of silver a day relying on vermicelli.
Adding in corn, snacks, and grilled sausages, his daily income is around eighteen taels a day.
Eighteen taels a day, only five hundred and forty taels a month, and less than seven thousand taels a year, which is still a long way from 10,000 taels.
More importantly, the vermicelli income will soon disappear, because after the new year, the sweet potatoes will either be made into dried sweet potatoes, or they will be broken, and the sweet potato workshop will stop working.
So, Jiangzhi County mentioned this matter today, because he had nothing to say under embarrassment?
Or is it really for his own good?
...
Forget it, no matter what the situation is, since Jiangzhi County has mentioned it, then he must do it.
Do it early and feel at ease, if it is not guaranteed, he will toss out some new ways of making money in the future. Taking advantage of Jiang Zhi County's plan to use his food as a New Year gift, he still hastened to do this matter.
According to the provisions of the law of the Sheng Dynasty, the output of the own field is not counted, only the income from selling goods is counted, and those who earn more than 10,000 taels a year will be designated as merchants.
But there are policies and there are countermeasures. If you don't want to be classified as a merchant, you can put your own shop under someone else's name.
The candidate for this affiliation must be chosen carefully, otherwise, if you hang on to it, your own business may really become the other party's.
So, who should I choose as the person to rely on?
Li Qiao thought about it all the way, but couldn't decide on a good candidate.
When the ox cart arrived at Sanliu Village, it was already dark, and it gets dark early in winter, not to mention there was still a little snowflakes today.
Fortunately, the snow did not fall heavily, otherwise the road would be difficult.
After saying goodbye to Zhuang Wen, Li Qiao drove the ox cart back to the new house.
Li Dashan, Li Chuntao and Wang Xiaoya were all there.
Dinner was warm in the pot.
Wang Xiaoya led the ox cart back to the old house, and several people from Li Qiao's side began to have dinner.
Dasheng's restrictions on business registration are not too strict, unlike the previous dynasty, which suppressed clothes, houses, and vehicles for travel.
Of course, there were still some suppressions, but Li Qiao didn't think it was serious.
The most serious one is that once you become a merchant, you will not be able to take the imperial examination within three generations.
It stands to reason that the most reassuring thing to find someone to depend on is to find your own relatives, but Li Qiao cannot speak to his relatives because of the imperial examination.
Therefore, he looked at Li Dashan and Li Chuntao at the dinner table, and didn't mention this matter, only said that the county magistrate had special opinions on him.
Like Zhuang Wen, Li Dashan and Li Chuntao were startled at first, then excited and happy.
Emma, the magistrate already knows his uncle/cousin!
"After dinner, I started making vermicelli. The magistrate wants to buy 800 catties of vermicelli. Let's make vermicelli first."
Li Qiao said.
Fortunately, he had been asking Li Dashan, Li Chuntao, and Wang Xiaoya to make starch, otherwise, he would not be able to complete the county magistrate's order quickly.
Li Dashan and Li Chuntao have no objection, the county magistrate's order, there is nothing more important than this!
After dinner, a few of them were about to start making vermicelli when Zhuang Fengshou arrived.
Zhuang Fengshou came to talk to Li Qiao about the vermicelli.
"In the past few days, many folks and people from other villages have come to me, saying that we are too slow in making vermicelli. Once the Chinese New Year is over, we will not be able to do this business, so I thought, how about hiring someone? Specialize in making starch?"
"Starch can be stored for a long time, first make starch from sweet potatoes, so that the workshop can make vermicelli for a long time."
Hearing this, Li Qiao nodded immediately: "I also have this plan, see you today Shopkeeper Wang, shopkeeper Wang also urged me, hoping to eat vermicelli all year round."
"All year round?" Zhuang Fengshou frowned, if he wanted to be able to eat vermicelli all year round, the starch consumed would not be the same as his village people can do it.
But if people from other villages are asked to make starch, how long can the vermicelli be kept?
If the method of vermicelli is leaked, next year's vermicelli will not be as easy to sell as it was this year.
However, can the people who work in the sweet potato workshop really keep it secret until next year?
Even if he formulated harsh punishment measures, what if someone took risks for money?
The profit behind the vermicelli is too big, too big for him to imagine, if someone really chooses to spend money in jail alone with a happy family, the interests of the villagers will still be damaged next year.
"Since it's so difficult to choose, let everyone vote."
Naturally, Li Qiao couldn't make a decision.
Since you can't decide, leave it to everyone.
Zhuang Fengshou sighed: "Okay, let everyone vote."
In this way, even if there is any bad result, it will be borne by everyone, the minority obeys the majority, and no one will complain when the time comes.
So, while Li Qiao and the others were making vermicelli overnight, Zhuang Fengshou was doing the voting.
Zhuang Fengshou has always acted vigorously and resolutely. Except for children under ten years old, all other villagers have the right to vote.
Not only the workshop side should participate, but also those who did not go to the workshop to work.
The results of this poll came out within a day. Fully 90% of the people who chose to make more starch this year so that they can continue to make vermicelli after the new year.
The idea of the villagers is very simple. Although they will not reveal the recipe themselves, others will leak it if they fail to guarantee it. In this case, it is better to take advantage of this year to make a fortune from him.
Now I can earn 50 Wen a day, 1,500 Wen a month, and 3,000 Wen in a family with two people.
If this work continues until next year's wheat harvest, it will be more than seven months' worth of money earned.
That is twenty taels.
No matter what happens to him in the future, let's earn this money first.
Besides, because the people in the workshop are making starch, they can only make five or six hundred catties of vermicelli a day.
If they don't make starch and only make vermicelli, then this figure must be doubled, and their daily earnings can also be doubled.
If you can earn forty taels of silver in half a year, what kind of bicycle do you need?
Forty taels of silver can handle all major events in life in one go: building a house, marrying a wife/husband.
So, earn money first!
The villagers voted for this result, so Li Qiao and Zhuang Fengshou naturally acted according to this result.
Zhuang Fengshou first asked people in the village who did not work in the sweet potato workshop to make starch.
He went to several nearby villages to find the village heads of these villages and taught them how to make starch.
He also went to the town to find the villages on the other side of Sanli Town, and let these villages also make starch.
This was not enough, while Li Qiao was going to deliver goods to Jiangzhi County, he also went to the county government.
How could a single town be enough? If everyone in the county were to make starch, then his sweet potato workshop in Sanliu Village would be able to operate from now until the sweet potatoes mature next year.
Jiangzhi County gave Li Qiao the money for the vermicelli and the Youth League. He originally wanted to send the two away, but he did not expect Li Qiao and Sanliu Village to make such a decision.
Confirming that Li Qiao and Zhuang Fengshou really meant that, he immediately asked the yamen servants to call the village chiefs to the county yamen.
This is a happy event.
The people who grow sweet potatoes can sell sweet potatoes for money, Sanliu Village can also make money, and the people under his rule can make money, so he naturally strongly supports it.
Cough, originally, he wanted to rely on his relationship so that he could be transferred to the county he liked next year.
Although there are mountains in Pingcheng, they are not famous mountains, and there are no special animals and plants on the mountains.
Also no water.
In short, this is just an unremarkable county in the north.
People say they are poor, but that's not enough. Anyone who works hard can earn a living and will not starve to death.
Every year without oppressing the people, he can also receive a full amount of food, money and taxes, and can submit a qualified report card to the court.
However, let's talk about being rich, that's definitely not called it.
In Pingcheng, 99% of the people are farmers.
Farmers rely on the sky to eat, how can they get rich?
In short, this is an ordinary and featureless small county where he can't even find local specialties.
Really, there are no special products here in Pingcheng.
Anything that's available here, is available in the next county.
Therefore, in the past two years, all the gifts he gave to his relatives and friends were purchased from Fucheng.
The local ones in Pingcheng are really hard to come by.
As a county magistrate in a county like Pingcheng, it is really difficult to achieve a political achievement that will make the Holy Majesty shine.
In the past three years, he wanted to go bald, but he didn't come up with any good solution.
If the political performance is not outstanding, then there will be no promotion.
He himself has no background, he is from a poor family, his family was rich in the previous dynasty, he was a moderately aristocratic family, but after the war, when the prosperous dynasty was established, his family completely declined.
He has no political achievements, no contacts, and in order to avoid getting out of the sight of the Holy Majesty, he originally thought that this year he would be ruthless and use his ancestral property to cultivate relationships with officials from the Ministry of Officials, and next year he would choose a county where he could use his fists.
But now.
The mediocre Pingcheng finally has some souvenirs!
With just one vermicelli, the people of Pingcheng can be doubled or even more wealthy than before.
This is his achievement!
After staying in the Hanlin Academy for two years, he can probably figure out what the Holy Majesty is thinking: prosperity for the people and security for the country.
Whether the people are rich or not is an invisible criterion for assessing officials.
Therefore, he still had to use his ancestral property.
Because according to Dasheng's regulations, the county magistrate is transferred every three years. If he wants to stay in Pingcheng, he must rely on his relationship.
As long as he can stay, it's nothing to spend some ancestral property, relying on vermicelli, he can make the eyes of the Holy One shine.
We must support the great cause of vermicelli in Sanliu Village!
Jiangzhi County issued an order, and soon the heads of hundreds of villages in the county came to the county government.
Of course, for villages that are far away, even if you take a bullock cart, you have to walk for a day and a night, so the journey is slower.
But it doesn't matter.
This did not affect Jiangzhi County's announcement to the early village head that Sanliu Village had purchased starch.
The taxes paid twice a year are collected by the yamen servants in person in each village. Therefore, the village chiefs of these villages have a close relationship with Jiangzhi County.
Now that Jiangzhi County has announced the vermicelli, these village chiefs are surprised after the surprise.
Vermicelli has been popular in the county for more than a month. Many village chiefs know vermicelli. Now Sanliu Village wants to buy starch, which is a good thing.
The sweet potatoes in their village can also be turned into silver!
Some village chiefs even tugged on Zhuang Fengshou's sleeves and asked Zhuang Fengshou why he didn't make this decision sooner with a distressed expression.
Because it is the twelfth lunar month now, and the Chinese New Year is only a few days away, and the sweet potatoes grown in every household are also consumed a lot.
What a pity.
But no one really complained about Zhuang Fengshou, it was a matter of mutual benefit.
Although the people who grow sweet potatoes have consumed a lot of sweet potatoes, these people still have some sweet potatoes in their homes. Because according to the custom in Pingcheng, sweet potato balls will be fried during the Chinese New Year.
Sweet potatoes are needed for Chinese New Year, so every household naturally has sweet potatoes at this time.
Zhuang Fengshou taught the village heads how to make sweet potato starch, and the village heads went back to their respective villages to teach the villagers how to make starch.
Of course, Zhuang Fengshou also specially emphasized that the starch must be clean, and Sanliu Village will not accept any impurities.
Don't blame him for the wasted work at that time.
Jiangzhi County also agreed to this condition. The vermicelli was to become a specialty of Pingcheng, and it represented Pingcheng's face, and it was also his face.
He doesn't want to lose face.
Jiangzhi County sent a message, and the village chiefs dared not ignore it.
After returning to the village, when teaching the villagers how to make starch, they emphasized hygiene issues.
This is what the magistrate of the county said!
The deterrent power of the county magistrate to ordinary villagers is like God. After all, the farthest place most villagers have traveled in their lives is the county seat. In the area where they are active, Jiangzhi County controls their taxes, corvees, etc. The power of life and death.
It really is their day.
Now that Heaven has spoken, they dare not not listen.
As a result, all the farmers in Pingcheng who planted sweet potatoes suddenly became extremely busy in this twelfth lunar month, which was supposed to be the winter slack period.
Six catties of sweet potatoes produce one catty of starch, and Sanliu Village collects starch at a price of fifteen yuan per catty. If it can make one hundred catties of starch, it can be sold for fifteen hundred yuan.
If you make 200 catties of starch, you can sell it for 3,000 Wen.
This is a lot of money, enough for them to live a prosperous year.
Therefore, you must shake off your shoulders and work hard!
While others are busy making starch and making vermicelli, life in Li Qiao's family is as usual.
After Zhuang Wen returned to the village, he would come to Li Qiao's house every other day to discuss knowledge with Li Qiao.
He memorized the Four Books, Five Classics, Three Histories and Three Biography fluently, so he often acted as a teacher and randomly checked Li Qiao's most basic recitation.
I will also take a test of Mo Yi.
Although Li Qiao bought the commentaries of the Four Books and the Five Classics, each person has his own understanding of the commentary, so there are different versions of the commentaries.
What's more, the commentary also has a special commentary.
It's just like nesting dolls.
Therefore, it does not mean that it is enough to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics by rote with the commentary. You have to consult your teacher and classmates to see which version of the commentary is currently mainstream.
Zhuang Wen studied hard for 30 years, so he can temporarily serve as Li Qiao's teacher in this area, preaching and teaching Li Qiao to solve doubts.
But Zhuang Wen also has something he is not good at.
As an out-and-out ancient man, the furthest place he went was Fucheng. He only had a general understanding of natural disasters such as typhoons, tornadoes, tsunamis, and earthquakes.
Ask the master and classmates in the private school, the master and classmates are the same as him, their scalps are numb when faced with this weird question.
Li Qiao understands this.
But now Li Qiao can only pretend not to understand.
Before making dim sum, he could say that he read it from miscellaneous books, but with so many natural disasters, he couldn't be fooled by miscellaneous books.
Therefore, he can only use his superb acting skills, pretend to be thinking hard and worried, and frown with Zhuang Wen.
On this day, the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, I went to cut the meat.
When Zhuang Wen came in the afternoon, Li Qiao was cooking meat in the kitchen.
He has lived two lifetimes, and this is the first time he celebrates the New Year with his family, so since he sacrificed to the kitchen stove, he spends much less time studying every day.
Books can wait for years to read.
But he had to work with Tao Zhu to do the lively preparation work years ago.
A lot of ingredients were added to the Liqiao stewed meat. Zhuang Wen smelled a strong aroma as soon as he entered the courtyard. He couldn't help but take two deep breaths.
He must eat the stew today before going home.
Li Qiao saw Zhuang Wen coming through the kitchen window, and put down the chopsticks in his hand.
Cough, he was holding a deep-fried dough stick just now, and he insisted on eating it with Tao Zhu.
Of course, eating together refers to him and Tao Zhu each biting one end of the fried dough stick.
Tao Zhu's cheeks were stained with a faint blush, and when he turned his gaze, he also saw Zhuang Wen, and pushed him out: "Brother Wen is here, stop making trouble." "Okay, let's go to the shower
room to make trouble at night." Buckwheat nodded with a smile.
When Tao Zhu heard this, the blush on his cheeks became even heavier, but seeing that Zhuang Wen was about to enter the kitchen, he didn't answer Li Qiao's words, but turned around and took two plates, which were filled with the glutinous rice lotus root and fried glutinous rice just made today. Coupling.
"Brother Wen, someone brought a cart full of lotus roots today. Li Qiao made these two dishes according to the instructions in the book. You can try them."
Tao Zhu handed the plate to Li Qiao, and asked Li Qiao to take Zhuang. Wen went to the study in the backyard.
Li Qiao responded, and mouthed the word shower before leaving.
Tao Zhu understood his mouth shape, and directly closed the kitchen door with a "snap", feeling ashamed in broad daylight.
But after closing the door, thinking of the wonder of the shower, the heat on his face couldn't go down no matter what.
The most wonderful design of this new house is the shower room. If you only experience it once, you will never forget it in your life.
"You have a good life. Someone delivers food, and you can make delicious
food." Zhuang Wen didn't see the eye contact between Li Qiao and Tao Zhu. Can't help but smile.
"This is from Niujiazhuang in the town. Niujiazhuang planted a lot of sweet potatoes this year and sold them for money. Today, they sent people to come with Uncle Zheng to deliver lotus roots. When you go back later, bring them with you." I can't finish eating a few catties at home,"
Li Qiao explained.
"Okay." Zhuang Wen was not polite to Li Qiao.
There are too many people delivering New Year's goods to Li Qiao now, not only from other villages, but also from this village.
The people of Sanliu Village have earned a lot of money this winter by relying on the sweet potato workshop. Since the sweet potato workshop did not make starch and only concentrated on making vermicelli, it can make up to 1,500 catties of vermicelli a day.
With so many vermicelli, there is no need to worry about sales.
In addition to the people in Pingcheng who want to buy it, the merchants also want to buy it.
Under such circumstances, the villagers wanted to thank Li Qiao.
Although Li Qiao clearly stated that he does not accept things from the villagers, the previous refusal is not the same as the current refusal, because now it is the Chinese New Year.
New Year's Eve.
In front of these four words, many things and many principles can be compromised.
As firm as Li Qiao, he didn't hold back these four words. Of course, he didn't accept valuables, but one family gave a catty of pork, another family gave a dozen eggs, and the whole village added it up. small amount.
What's more, besides people in this village, people in other villages also give gifts.
The village that had already given thank you gifts before came to give new year gifts again.
Things are still not expensive, eggs, miscellaneous grains, dried vegetables, etc.
Villages that had never given thanks before also came to give New Year gifts.
People from other towns didn't know the exact location of Sanliu Village, so they simply sent it to Wangyue Tower, and Xiao Wu brought it to Li Qiao.
So now, Li Qiao's family has vacated several rooms specially for these things.
Fortunately, Li Qiao's family built a new house, otherwise, there would really be no place to put these things.
In short, Li Qiao's family doesn't need to buy new year's goods at all this year, and can live a comfortable and good year only relying on the things sent by others.
While talking, the two entered the study room and sat down. Zhuang Wen tasted glutinous rice lotus root and fried lotus root, full of praise.
He had seen these two kinds of food in Fucheng, but the taste made by Li Qiao was even more delicious than those in Fucheng restaurants.
However, in front of the imperial examination, delicious food is nothing. After Zhuang Wen tasted it, he quickly picked up the book again, first randomly checked Li Qiao's recitation, and then took out the article he wrote yesterday about the snow disaster, and asked Li Qiao Buckwheat reviews.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, and those disasters are too far away from him, so he can't just study these, but also study the disasters that he can actually touch.
He is old, has experienced snow disasters, and he is a farmer, and his father is the village head, so writing this article is not easy for him.
Li Qiao put down his chopsticks and was about to pick up this article, when the doors of the front yard and the back yard were pushed open, and Li Liang's loud voice came over: "Xiaoqiao! Stop reading, come out quickly, your third sister Come with your nephew and niece!"
Third sister?
Li Qiao was stunned for a moment.
"Ah, it's Li Shu here." Zhuang Wen got up from the chair and urged Li Qiao: "Get out, your third sister has only come back for several years since she married in the next county." Li Qiao:
" ..."
He reacted.
Li's father and Li's mother went to visit Li Shu at the beginning, so there was an accident.
The author has something to say:
Cough, it's still sweet potatoes... In addition, the setting of official positions in the article is all made up by me, so please don't be serious~
