Domineering husband

Chapter 66

   Win by outperforming other candidates?

Zhuang Wen savored this sentence carefully, and then couldn't help nodding, it makes sense!

He hurriedly lowered his head and took a sip of the five-grain soy milk in the bowl. The taste was a bit thick, grainy, sweet and very fragrant.

"The taste is very good." He praised sincerely: "Brother Zhu's craftsmanship is really good." "

Then if you set up a stall to sell this, you must be able to sell it?"

Li Qiao was also drinking his bowl of soy milk. The five-grain soymilk is made with a meat grinder, and it is not as fine as a wall breaker, with some rustling graininess.

But it is this kind of graininess that gives this five-grain soy milk a special flavor, which Li Qiao likes to drink very much.

"Of course! The taste is very good, and the raw materials required are not very expensive." Zhuang Wen nodded. If it were him, he would be willing to buy it.

"So making money is not difficult at all. The raw materials required for this five-grain soy milk can be mixed freely. If you like red dates, you can put a few red dates in it. If you like other beans and miscellaneous grains, you can also choose according to your own taste. Add."

"We Dasheng, no matter in the mountains, near the sea, or on the plains, we can find these miscellaneous grains, so, Brother Ruowen, you can write policy topics in the future, no matter where the location given in the topic is, you can Write this five-grain soymilk."

"This will definitely not make the people in a place rich, but it can make the government earn a little money. With this little money, you can make supplies and food reserves." "

Then you have given the actual Compared with the empty talk of other candidates, you are clearly superior."

"Do you think it makes sense?"

After Li Qiao finished speaking, he took a sip of soy milk to moisten his mouth. He looked at Zhuang Wen and waited for Zhuang Wen's answer.

Zhuang Wen's eyes widened, and he quickly put down the bowl in his hand: "Brother, you mean you want to teach me how to make this five-grain soymilk?" "

This is very simple, you can learn it once you learn it."

Li Qiao nodded.

"No, no, this is a money-making method you came up with, how can I use it? Besides, if I use it, what will you do then?" Zhuang Wen quickly shook his head, disagreeing with

this matter.

"Just to be honest, Brother Wen, I can think of more than one way to make money, so you can use it if you want. This method is versatile, no matter where it is placed." Li Qiao said with a smile

.

Zhuang Wen: "..."

He sighed for a long time, isn't that right, his brother's head can turn very fast, and it can still turn effectively. There are endless tricks to make money.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Li Qiao: "Big brother, I can't repay you as an older brother. How much is this recipe for grains and soy milk? I have to buy it." "It's not worth much

, You don't need to spend money to buy it. Besides, it's not certain whether the Holy Majesty will come up with a similar policy or topic this year." "

Now we're just in case."

Li Qiao shook his head, rejecting Zhuang Wen's proposal.

Seeing that Zhuang Wen wanted to speak again, he said again: "When you really use it and get admitted as a scholar, how about we talk about it?" "

Well... that's fine."

Zhuang Wen thought for a while, nod.

"Brother Wen, come on, sit down." Li Qiao beckoned him to sit down, but he hadn't finished speaking: "Actually, even if there is no trick to make money, as long as there is one more step than other candidates, then I think it will be enough." OK."

"What are the steps?" Zhuang Wen just sat firmly on the chair, when he heard the words, he immediately moved towards Li Qiao, half of his body tilted out of the chair.

Is it okay without making money?

Facing Zhuang Wen's doubtful and puzzled eyes, Li Qiao nodded: "The step I'm talking about is to make a good daily stockpile of supplies and calculate carefully.

" Don't spend the remaining food and silver every time, save it for emergencies." "

Besides, you can also do other things to increase the government's income on weekdays. If you have mountains, you can get some mountain products and herbs. , prey. If there is water, catch some fish. If there is no mountain and no water, you can also find a way to find something new to eat." "

For example, make egg-filled pancakes, pancakes and fruits."

Mentioning these two long-lost foods, Li Qiao couldn't help but pause.

In fact, after the end of the world, there are these two kinds of cakes in the cafeteria of the base. These two kinds of cakes do not need too rare ingredients, and the cafeteria of the base can make them.

But at that time, he was only thinking about cultivation, and he was not interested in eating and drinking, so after careful calculation, since the end of the world, he has never eaten these two ordinary snacks again.

Sighing softly in his heart, at this moment Zhuang Wen asked what egg-filled pancakes and pancakes are, so he smiled and described these two ways of eating in detail.

Zhuang Wen couldn't help drooling when he heard it. Although he hadn't eaten it in his mouth yet, there was nothing bad about Li Qiao's food!

"Let's talk back and forth, let's talk about business."

Seeing that Zhuang Wen's thoughts were drifting a little far away, Li Qiao hurriedly brought the topic back.

"Of course, these snacks cannot make the local government rich, and the money earned from these snacks will not be of much use in the face of a catastrophe. But at least you have shown your attitude, and you are serious about doing practical things." "Do

n't Most candidates think about what to do after a disaster occurs, but what you think about is how to prevent disasters. If you have dug a few more wells and a river than others, then you are one step ahead of others. In front of others."

"If you were the grader, what kind of examinee do you like?"

Zhuang Wen: "..."

After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but patted his thigh, that's the reason!

There are very few people in the world who are full of novel ideas like Li Qiao. Most of the candidates are like him, who only know how to answer questions honestly, so he only needs to be half a step ahead of others to win.

"Listening to Jun's words is better than reading ten years of books!" He stretched out his thumb and shook Li Qiao's eyes several times.

Li Qiao couldn't help laughing: "I'm just analyzing blindly, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and what I say may not be accurate." "

I think it should be like this!"

Zhuang Wen was very confident.

Because no matter how you look at it, Li Qiao's words are extremely reasonable.

What an enlightenment.

That's it.

Pull his head off and instill wisdom in him!

Master Chen of the private school never said these words.

Master Chen just asked everyone to memorize the articles by rote. First, they memorized the articles of the Holy Majesty, and then connected the Four Books and Five Classics sentence by sentence, and then used this method to write articles in conjunction with conventional disaster relief methods.

Articles written in this way are the same, without any new ideas. But Li Qiao's words gave him a direction!

"Brother, with your cleverness, it's not a matter of raising your hand to win a scholar." "

...No, no, no, I haven't really tried it, so how dare I say such a thing. Besides, I'm just reading now I have read the Four Books and Five Classics, but I haven't read the Three History and Three Biography yet."

Li Qiao waved his hand, he didn't have 100% confidence in himself.

"These are the most basic. The test is memory. You are young now, and you can memorize things quickly. In my opinion, you can memorize the three histories and three passes before the autumn harvest." Zhuang Wen said to Li Qiao now

. It is convincing, just like Li Chuntao of Li Dashan, who has begun to be blindly confident.

But when Li Qiao heard this, she waved her hands even more fiercely: "Brother Wen, "Historical Records" is a stumbling block, and I don't have the confidence to defeat it now." To say that "Historical Records" is a stumbling block is really true

, Because "Historical Records" has a total of more than 500,000 characters.

More than half a million words!

He bought a whole set of historical records, each of which is thick and thick.

The corresponding commentary is even thicker!

When buying, seeing the guy take ten books from the shelf at once, his scalp immediately went numb.

Now it was time to really start reading, and his scalp started to tingle again.

It was not easy for ancient people to read, not to mention how hard the thick book was to memorize, it would cost more than 20 taels of silver just to buy this set of books, even if it was a handwritten copy.

Even if you don't buy a handwritten copy, but copy it yourself, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone spent to copy the whole book is not a small sum of money.

Besides, "Historical Records" is not the scariest thing. The most terrifying thing is "Hanshu".

If his scalp felt numb when he read "Historical Records", then he just wanted to faint when he read "Hanshu". No wonder ancient scholars spent decades in the imperial examination!

In addition, "Zuo Zhuan" has nearly 200,000 words.

In addition to the number of words in "East View of Han Ji", "Gongyang Biography", and "Gu Liang Biography", he didn't have the confidence to finish memorizing it before the autumn harvest.

He only intends to familiarize himself with the Three Histories and Three Passes before the autumn harvest, so as to figure out their specific meanings.

Blindly studying hard will not allow him to pass the imperial examination, he needs the guidance of his master.

Thinking of the difficult journey this year, he couldn't help sighing: "I don't understand why there are so many history books in the imperial examination."

Isn't this deliberately embarrassing others?

He can still understand the three biographies, because the three biographies are the interpretation and supplement of "Spring and Autumn", one of the Five Classics.

But there are so many words in the Three Histories, why take the test?

"Because these three books are not only history books, but also record other things, such as astronomy, geography, systems and laws, which are very comprehensive. For example, the Shihuozhi chapter in "Hanshu" involves agriculture and currency. When it comes to finance and economics, officials must understand the relevant knowledge."

Zhuang Wen understood very well.

"...All right."

Li Qiao nodded with a heavy heart.

He just bought "Historical Records" and "Hanshu" back before, and he hasn't had time to read the specific content.

As Zhuang Wen said, if these two books do not only talk about history, then scholars should indeed study them. These scholars who passed the imperial examination will become officials in the future.

The Holy Majesty certainly doesn't like officials who can only endorse and speak the truth.

The Holy One wants subordinates who can solve practical problems.

Thinking in this way, he asked Zhuang Wen some more questions. The more he asked, the calmer he became, and his resistance to the two tomes gradually diminished.

Cough, he was illiterate before, and he thought that these two books only talked about history and characters, so he was superficial.

Moreover, compared with some poor scholars, he is already very happy now. He doesn't need to copy the original book, and he has enough money to buy the manuscript.

He just needs to read and memorize directly.

By the time the discussion between the two of them was over, it was already dark. Li Qiao sent Zhuang Wen away with a satisfied expression on his face. Today he learned a lot of knowledge, and more importantly, his mentality has changed significantly.

He found the joy of learning again.

Zhuang Wen was also very satisfied.

Li Qiao's words gave him a sudden start. He can't wait to take the entrance examination, and he doesn't know what the entrance examination will be this time.

Seeing Zhuang Wen's figure disappear into the night, Li Qiao stretched his waist, hopped on the spot a few times to move his hands and feet, and then turned around and entered the yard.

In the front yard, lights were on in the four large kitchens.

Now that he is rich and rich, he no longer only lights one oil lamp like he did when he first crossed the river, and put at least four oil lamps in each room.

As for his own study, with candles!

Since Li Shu also started making dim sum, his family's dim sum production has increased a lot. Da Ma Hua was imitated by Zuixianju, so his family stopped production.

But during the Chinese New Year, he made several new snacks, and not only sent one to Jiangzhi County, but also gave one to shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang has opened restaurants for many years, and he has a very vicious vision. He thinks that everything is delicious. Now he has an extra Li Shu in his family, so shopkeeper Wang hopes that he can make a few more dim sum.

Of course, if you can make money, you have to hurry up to earn it, so now his family makes five kinds of dim sum.

Shaqima.

Youth League.

peach crisp.

Crunchy with sesame seeds.

cat ears.

Each one is selling well, and the new additions, Sesame Crisp and Owl Ears, are as popular as their predecessors.

Li Shu was originally a diligent person, and she always felt that she had killed her parents, so she had a compensatory mentality towards her original body, so now she spends almost all the rest of her day making snacks except for eating and sleeping.

Li Shu was diligent, and Li Chuntao didn't want to go home, but wanted to hide in Li Qiao's house, so he simply made more snacks.

Li Dashan was mobilized by his two aunts and was also diligent.

Tao Zhu was originally diligent, but he needed to replenish his body and not be too tired, so he didn't spend as much time making snacks as the other three.

Just like at this time, Li Shu, Li Dashan, and Li Chuntao are each making snacks in the kitchen, but Tao Zhu's attention is on him.

Tao Zhu stood in the kitchen next to the door and waved to him: "Come here, I'll rub your shoulders." "

Okay." Li Qiao immediately walked towards Tao Zhu.

After entering the kitchen, he sat on the bench beside the dining table. Tao Zhu stood behind him and squeezed his shoulders. He asked, "Study is too hard. Are you hungry? What shall we eat tonight?

" Cake."

Li Qiao said without hesitation.

"Egg-filled pancakes? What are egg-filled pancakes?"

Tao Zhu asked curiously.

"It's just kneading the noodles first..."

Li Qiao immediately explained how to make pancakes with eggs. Before, he specially built an iron plate for barbecue. Now it can be used not only to make pancakes with eggs, but also to make pancakes. .

But at this time, there are no fried dough sticks and fruit grates, so I will not make pancakes and fruit, and make egg-filled pancakes first.

There is no lettuce here, it doesn't matter, Zhang Xiuhua sent some shepherd's purse during the day, you can roll shepherd's purse into the cake.

Now is the time to eat shepherd's purse. The taste of shepherd's purse is good, not inferior to home-cooked vegetables. In addition, the villagers eat radish and cabbage in winter.

Zhang Xiu dug a lot, so he sent some over.

Tao Zhu used it to make steamed buns, served with vermicelli, it tasted very good.

There is also grilled sausage at home, one sausage rolled in a piece of cake, perfect.

Seeing Li Qiao's enticing words, Tao Zhu started immediately.

When he was making noodles, Li Qiao moved the small stove to the yard, first boiled water to scald the shepherd's purse, and then he took out the iron plate used for barbecue to wash and brush it for later use.

When Tao Zhu finished making the noodles, the shepherd's purse on his side had already been scalded. He took the shepherd's purse into a basin, and he put the iron plate on the stove.

Egg-filled pancakes, ready to make.

Whenever Li Qiao mentioned a new food, Tao Zhu would try it out with 200% seriousness and patience. With this seriousness and patience, Tao Zhu has always made new products with zero failures.

Soon, an egg-filled pancake was ready.

The sausage fried on the other side of the iron plate is also ready.

First, brush a layer of bean paste made of pottery bamboo on the noodle cake, spread a little shepherd's purse, then put in a roast sausage, and finally roll this cake into a roll, and an egg-filled cake is ready.

Li Qiao wrapped the egg-filled biscuit in oil paper and brought it to Tao Zhu's mouth: "Taste it." The

aroma was tangy, Tao Zhu lowered his head and took a bite, the delicious carbs and meat exploded in his mouth. Then, he smiled, looking at Li Qiao's watery eyes sparkling.

tasty.

Everything that Li Qiao cooked up was delicious.

"Do you like it?" Li Qiao asked with a smile.

"I like it." Tao Zhu nodded honestly.

"Then we will make it often from now on, this is not troublesome."

Tao Zhu nodded, it is indeed not troublesome, he swallowed the egg-filled pancake in his mouth, and then went to roll out the skin, preparing to make more.

Seeing this, Li Qiao tore it off, took a bite and fed it to his mouth, saying: "The first one is a test product, only one egg is added, the following ones are added with a few more eggs, our family has no shortage of eggs now. "

Rich, arrogant!

Add at least three eggs to an egg-filled pancake!

Tao Zhu thought of the baskets of eggs in the room, and nodded as he opened his mouth to bite the cake that Li Qiao delivered to his mouth.

That's right, his family has no shortage of eggs now.

Not to mention that people come to sell eggs every day, the hens he raised in the old house before have also started to lay eggs.

At that time, in order to eat eggs quickly, he bought not all chicks, but there were ten hens that could lay eggs directly.

The weather was cold before, these little hens only ate and did not work, and only laid an egg in a few days.

Now that the temperature has risen, the pullets are finally getting to work.

In addition, the eggs given by everyone a year ago have not been eaten, so there is indeed no shortage of eggs in his house now.

Therefore, tonight's dinner at Li Qiao's family is mainly egg-filled pancakes, and it is also a deluxe version.

Li Dashan, Li Chuntao, Li Shu, Li Yuning, Li Yu'an, and Li Yu'an were all eating egg-filled pancakes for the first time, and they all liked it very much.

Although it is just simple flour, eggs and sausage, it is delicious.

Li Dashan shook his head as he ate, the egg-filled biscuit in his hand was already the fifth one, but he didn't want to stop at all: "This can be eaten every day, it's so delicious." Li Qiao looked at his happy

face looking a little annoyed.

Just now he was only concerned about being arrogant, and ignored Li Dashan's appetite. According to Li Dashan's way of eating, he ate more than ten eggs in one meal.

Forget it, just eat it, it's not like eating like this every day.

"Okay, we can eat this every day before we get tired of eating it. However, we should put less eggs. I don't know where I heard that eating too many eggs a day is not good for the body." Li Qiao said.

"Huh?"

Everyone at the dinner table was surprised.

Is it bad to eat eggs?

"Cough, I don't know if it's true or not, but since there is such a saying, it's better to eat less. No matter what it is, it is definitely not good to eat too much. Medicine can cure diseases, it is a good thing, but medicine is three-point poisonous, too much Eating it will damage your body instead."

Facing the shocked expressions of several people, Li Qiao could only explain it in this way.

This statement is easy to understand. After being shocked, several people nodded one after another. This is the reason.

Li Dashan looked at the egg-filled biscuit in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "When brother Qian comes, let's make him one with extra eggs, it's delicious with more eggs." "Okay, you call him over tomorrow

. " Tao Zhu said.

After the New Year, Li Dashan turned seventeen, and Zheng Qianqian turned sixteen.

This is the age at which most teenagers, girls, and brothers get married. He has already seen that Zheng Qianqian is interested in Li Dashan, so this year he has to let the two of them get in touch more, and try to get married by the end of the year.

At noon the next day, Zheng Qianqian came.

He was carrying a basket of wild vegetables in his hand, it was the season to eat wild vegetables, not only shepherd's purse, he had several kinds of wild vegetables in this basket.

"After the buns are made, I'll ask Dashan to send you some." Tao Zhu looked at the wild vegetables in the basket and liked them very much.

Although he eats wild vegetables all the year round in Tao's house, he is not against wild vegetables, especially now that his family's life is good, and he can use enough oil and various seasonings when making wild vegetables, so the taste will be even better.

It's just that he makes dim sum every day and has no time to dig.

"No, my house is making buns too." Zheng Qianqian grabbed a handful of melon seeds, kowtowed and shook her head.

"The taste of my steamed buns is different from yours. I'd better ask Dashan to deliver some." Tao Zhu insisted.

"...That's right." Zheng Qianqian nodded. His family is still not good at cooking home-cooked dishes, and the buns they make are indeed not as delicious as his brother Zhu's.

"Why do you have time to dig wild vegetables?" Tao Zhu asked Li Dashan while carrying the basket into the kitchen where he was.

"I didn't dig it, it was my cousin."

Zheng Qianqian explained.

This was dug by his uncle's cousin.

A few people from his uncle's family have been working at his house, and today they brought some wild vegetables, which his family couldn't finish, so he brought some over.

"Your cousin dug it?"

Before Tao Zhu said anything, Li Dashan couldn't help but came out of the kitchen. He stared at the basket of wild vegetables with bitterness and hatred, and wanted to throw it away.

"What's wrong with my cousin's digging? Can't you bring it over?"

Zheng Qianqian asked him with raised eyebrows.

"...You are not young anymore, you should keep a distance from men." Li Dashan said.

Zheng Qianqian: "?"

He looked down at the melon seeds in the other hand, walked a few steps, and came to the kitchen door, then threw all the melon seeds in Li Dashan's body.

"I'm just as old as a flower, and you're not too young!" "

...Brother Qian, don't be angry!"

Li Dashan raised his hand to smack his own mouth angrily, if you can't speak, don't speak!

Look, I'm angry with Brother Qian again.

Tao Zhu stood aside, speechless.

To say that Li Dashan is stupid is really not wronging him. After following Li Qiao for so long, not to mention learning all kinds of sweet words, at least he has to improve his EQ.

Alas, worry.

In this situation, can the two get married by the end of the year?

Li Qiao stood at the gate of the front yard and the back yard, also speechless.

Seeing that it was going to be noon, he felt his head was buzzing after reading all morning, so he put down the book and planned to go to the front yard.

It just happened to hit this scene.

Sighing lightly, he turned around and went back to the study. Li Dashan is stupid, but who is his eldest nephew, he can't throw this stupid nephew away, he has to teach him well.

So, that night, when Li Dashan was about to go home, Li Qiao gave him a copy of the guide to chasing her husband that she had written at noon.

Li Dashan opened it, and after a cursory glance, he immediately looked at Li Qiao, and said excitedly, "Thank you, uncle! I'll make a toast to you on the day my brother Qian and I get married!" "Go, go,

you I really want to marry Brother Qian back."

Li Qiao waved his hand, telling him to go back and memorize the strategy.

"Okay!" Li Dashan carefully hugged this strategy in his arms, and trotted back home.

After he left, Tao Zhu looked at Li Qiao, and asked curiously, "What's written on it? Is it the tricks you used on me?" "What is the trick you used on you

? You haven't used tricks on yourself, you've shown your true feelings."

Li Qiao had a serious face.

Tao Zhu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, but he quickly said again: "Actually, brother Qian likes mountains, I can see that. I'm not worried about them." "

But Chuntao is

indeed not young." , is Li Chuntao.

"No rush, take your time. Anyway, there are many matchmakers visiting, so take your time."

Li Qiao was not worried.

Only eighteen years old, just coming of age.

Now, as he became famous, not only the matchmakers from these ten miles and eight villages came to visit, but also the matchmakers from the other side of the town, and even other towns.

These matchmakers are mainly matchmaking for Li Shu and Li Chuntao.

In addition, Li Ershan, Li Xiaoshan and Li Xia were also targeted.

Li Qiao didn't turn away these matchmakers, as long as they came to the door, Tao Zhu would write it down, and then he quietly asked someone to go to these people's villages to find out about each other.

However, for now, there is no suitable one for Li Shu.

Because the matchmaker introduces either a widower, or an old bachelor who is not young but has not married a wife.

But Li Chuntao has good young people on his side, but Li Chuntao is worried that these people are coming after him, so none of them let go.

In fact, Li Qiao also has this kind of worry, and he doesn't want to bother to come to the door. He will see people's hearts after a long time, so let's take a look.

Time flies, and in March in Yangchun, the weather is getting hotter day by day. During the day, the bucket in the shower room is filled with water. After a day of hard work by the sun, you can directly take a bath with the water in the bucket at night, no need to refill it. Extra hot water was added.

Without the process of heating hot water, a lot of energy can be saved. Li Qiao and Tao Zhu have to go to the shower room more often. Whoever uses the shower knows how wonderful it is!

On this day, when it was raining lightly, Zhuang Fengshou came to look for Li Qiao.

The sweet potato workshop was completely shut down. I don't know whether it was because the starch in the entire county was used up or some people were unwilling to sell the starch to Sanliu Village. Anyway, Sanliu Village and Wangyue Tower hadn't purchased starch for half a month.

Zhuang Fengshou went to the county government office today, and the wheat will be harvested next month. For this reason, Jiang Zhi County called the village chiefs of the whole county to hold a meeting to inquire about the growth of wheat in each village.

There is enough rain this year, the wheat grows well, and it is another bumper harvest year.

Li Qiao knew that there was no news of Jiang Zhixian's reassignment as early as two months ago, which was told by Shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang is in the business of the rich and noble, and he is always well-informed.

At this moment, Li Qiao heard Zhuang Fengshou's words, and couldn't help sighing: "The magistrate is so concerned about the spring harvest, he is really a good official." "

No."

Zhuang Fengshou nodded.

Jiangzhi County is really wonderful.

After Jiang Zhi County confirmed that he would continue to work in Pingcheng, he was called to the county government. In order to frighten the villagers, he had repeatedly emphasized that anyone who dared to reveal the prescription would not only lose money, but also be imprisoned.

Jiangzhi County called him to the county seat to supplement this deterrence.

Jiang Zhixian told him clearly that if anyone dared to reveal the prescription, that person's family would be imprisoned.

So no one should have crooked ideas, and don't think that one person will go to prison to make the whole family happy. There is no such good thing, if one person commits a crime, the whole family will go to prison.

Jiangzhi County, as the parent officer of Pingcheng, speaks more effectively than him. When he told the story after returning to the village, everyone in the village was so scared that they raised their hands and swore that they would never dare to reveal the prescription.

With the township of Jiangzhi County, the sweet potato workshop in Sanliu Village will definitely make a lot of money this winter.

However, Zhuang Fengshou didn't come here today to praise the county magistrate.

Zhuang Wen will go to Fucheng to take the college exam in a few days, time is tight, Zhuang Wen will not go back to the village, but Zhuang Wen wants to hear a few words from Li Qiao.

"You can say whatever you want, and it will reassure him, so you can write whatever you want, and I'll bring it to him tomorrow."

Li Qiao: "..."

He couldn't laugh or cry.

After thinking about it, he said, "I'll go to the county seat tomorrow and talk to Brother Wen in person." "

Will this take up too much of your time?" Excuse me.

"No, it just so happens that there is something I don't understand that needs brother Wen's clarification."

"Okay, then let's go together." Zhuang Fengshou nodded immediately, as if he was afraid that Li Qiao would go back on his word.

Cough, it's not that he has to occupy Li Qiao's time, it's that Zhuang Wen has studied for thirty years, he doesn't put pressure on Zhuang Wen, Zhuang Wen puts pressure on himself.

Although Zhuang Wen is going to be a grandfather at a young age, but in front of his old father, Zhuang Wen will always be a child.

Besides, being admitted as a scholar is good for the whole banker.

Whether it's the head of the family or an old father, Li Qiao is now willing to go to the county seat, and he doesn't want to refuse against his heart.

So, the next day, Li Qiao and Zhuang Fengshou drove the ox cart to the county seat.

It was still raining lightly. Although the rain was not heavy, it had been raining for two days. The dirt roads in the countryside could not withstand the torment of the rain, and a lot of water accumulated.

Originally, it took more than an hour to get to the county seat, but Li Qiao and Zhuang Fengshou walked for more than two hours, which was slower than walking - the road was muddy

, and they had to push ox carts in some areas, so they were delayed for some time.

Standing at the gate of the city, Li Qiao and Zhuang Fengshou took small wooden sticks to scrape off the yellow mud on the soles of their shoes. After scraping, Li Qiao looked at the "cement road" behind him, and once again thought of wanting to build the road. idea.

But there is no cement at this time. If you want to build a smooth road that is not afraid of rain, you can use green bricks or stone slabs.

Either way, it's a huge number.

Thinking of the money that might be spent, Li Qiao concealed his thoughts about building the road, forgot it, and said it later.

He entered the city with Zhuang Fengshou.

As the college exam was approaching, Zhuang Wen was expecting and nervous, and talked a lot more than before. Not only did he want to ask Li Qiao a lot of questions, but he also talked about the exam preparation plan that Master Chen had prepared for them during this period.

Zhuang Wen couldn't stop talking, and the rain was getting heavier, so Li Qiao stayed in the county town for one night and returned home the next day.

However, he spent a lot of money to ask a man from Wangyue Tower who had been to Sanliu Village to send a letter to Tao Zhu, so that Tao Zhu would not have to worry.

They didn't see each other for one night. When Li Qiao came home and saw Tao Zhu, he took Tao Zhu back to the backyard regardless of whether there were still people in the yard.

Since they got married, this was the first time he and Tao Zhu were separated, and they didn't see each other overnight, like three autumns apart.

Tao Zhu is not like that.

Tao Zhu got used to his embrace, he was not there last night, Tao Zhu stayed up almost all night.

The two lay on the kang, and after hugging each other, Li Qiao looked at the bloodshot eyes in Tao Zhu's eyes and felt distressed. He stretched out his hand and tapped on Tao Zhu's eyelids: "No matter where I go from now on, I'll take you with me as much as possible."

Tao Zhu pursed his lower lip and hummed lightly.

"Then let's sleep for a while." Li Qiao kissed him on the lips and eyelids, then hugged him tightly.

Tao Zhu only hesitated for a second, then closed his eyes in his arms.

Forget it, let him be willful once.

The husband and wife caught up on their sleep, and it was already dusk when Li Qiao woke up.

When he opened his eyes, his eyes were dim.

But feeling the comfortable and familiar body temperature of the person in his arms, Li Qiao's heart was full and satisfied, he carefully lowered his head, and was about to kiss Tao Zhu quietly, when Tao Zhu opened his eyes.

Tao Zhu was confused for two seconds, and then he saw Li Qiao who was smiling at him clearly, and his eyes immediately curved up.

Before he could open his mouth, Li Qiao's kiss fell.

Tao Zhu: "..."

While responding to Li Qiao, he entangled himself with Li Qiao.

Anyway, I've slept until this point, and it's completely messed up.

Let the people in the front yard think what they want.

In the front yard, Li Dashan was sitting in front of the stove, leaning against the oil lamp while lighting the fire, reading the guide to chasing husbands written by his uncle specially for him.

His brother-in-law and uncle Zhu are so obsessed, he has to work harder, and he will also get in love with brother Qian as soon as possible!

After the rain, the temperature rose again. Zhuang Wen went to Fucheng, and Li Qiao continued to study hard.

Now he already knows the importance of the Three Histories, but he knows that there are too many words, and after a short period of happiness, there will be pain.

As the temperature rises, his house is much more lively than before.

Those who hatched chicks and ducklings during the Chinese New Year, after half a year of careful feeding, their chickens and ducks have begun to lay eggs.

Every day, many people come to sell eggs and duck eggs.

This is just the beginning, and more people will come to sell eggs and duck eggs in the future.

Tao Zhu recruited four long-term workers, specializing in salting eggs and duck eggs.

In addition, making dim sum requires a lot of eggs, so Li Qiao's family doesn't have to worry about having too many eggs.

In Li Qiao's hard study day by day, and in the bustling business of Li's family day by day, the wheat has matured.

Li Qiao is about to travel through a year.

To celebrate, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went to the county town to buy fields.

In the past six months, I made a lot of money by relying on vermicelli in the front. Later, I lost the vermicelli and my income dropped, but it was still nearly twenty taels a day.

Because of the joining of Li Shuniang and Wang Xiaoya and Chen Zao'er doing the preliminary work, the number of snacks made every day increased.

The more snacks, the more money.

With silver, you can buy land.

Li Qiao's dream is to be a landlord, so that even if he doesn't make dim sum, he can still earn money by renting.

This time he and Tao Zhu bought the first-class farmland in Zhujia Village. They bought a total of 30 mu, and one mu of land cost 30 taels of silver, and they spent 900 taels of silver all at once.

But looking at the land deeds in their hands, the husband and wife couldn't stop smiling. With these fields, they no longer need to buy grain in the future, and can grow whatever they want to eat.

A few days after buying the field, good news came:

Zhuang Wen was admitted as a scholar.

The author has something to say:

time whizzes by!
