Reborn Wangjia's little koi, reclaiming wasteland and farming to become the richest man

Chapter 56 Digging a Pit
Every day, when Qi Rong came back from the military camps in the east and west, he went to cut vegetables in the soil depression, picked apples from the apple trees, filled the apple baskets, and harvested the medicinal materials under the apple trees.

Seeing that the vegetables in the half-acre vegetable field in Qi's backyard were growing again, Sheng Jiaojiao deliberately reduced the watering of the vegetable field in the soil depression.

In this way, gradually, the growth rate of the vegetables in the soil depression slowed down until it reached the same growth rate as the half-acre vegetable field in my backyard.

With the normal growth rate of side dishes, it would definitely not be able to supply the east and west barracks, but fortunately, Sheng Jiaojiao now mainly sells medicinal materials to the barracks, and selling side dishes is just a matter of chance.

Selling apples was something I had never thought of before.

Now if the Qi family wants to eat apples, they go to the basket that Qi Rong brought back. They take one apple from one side and one apple from the other side, and they don’t pay attention to whether there are any apples in the basket.

Asking Niu Ju to sell apples, Sheng Jiaojiao just had the mentality of trying it out. She knew that Niu Ju was feeling a little bit bitter. Needless to say, Niu Ju urgently needed to do something now under the instigation of Sheng Jiaojiao's few words. prove yourself.

After Niu Ju left, it was time for the children to come to school.

Throughout the morning, Sheng Jiaojiao never stopped walking.

Those children were quite curious about the trees piled up in the yard, chattering around the trees, as if they were watching some monkey tricks.

Standing under the eaves of the stove, Sheng Jiaojiao held a stack of papyrus that Second Lady Qi had just dried, and looked over. The children in the yard were scattered into a mess, as if there was no classroom discipline to speak of.

No, there is still a child named Lian Xin, sitting on the banquet brought by him in a regular manner, holding a sharp stone in his hand, writing and drawing on the loess ground.

This little girl is a good student.

Sheng Jiaojiao walked over with the straw paper, and the children who had come to enlightenment all over the yard immediately withdrew from the edge of the tree, laid out their own banquet neatly, and sat in their respective seats.

There is a chair and a small table in the yard, and there are pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the small table.

She tidied up some stacks of straw paper in her hands, sat down on her chair slowly, and said to the children below:
"Just now I saw that your discipline was lax. Everyone who watched the excitement rushed to the first place, and those who sat in a well-behaved manner, but there were not many people waiting for me."

Saying that, Sheng Jiaojiao's eyes fell on Lian Xin, and the little girl knew that Sheng Jiaojiao was praising her, so she immediately said to keep her back straight and try her best to perform better in front of Sheng Jiaojiao.

The rest of the children were silent.

"Lian Xin, come here."

Sheng Jiaojiao beckoned and asked Lian Xin to come forward, reviewed the homework assignments assigned to her yesterday, gave her some yellow straw paper, and said kindly:

"This is a reward for you. You really worked hard when you went back."

"Thank you, sir."

Lian Xin took the straw paper with both hands, with a bright smile on her face.

When the rest of the children saw the straw paper in Lian Xin's hand, they all showed envious expressions. This was rewarded by the master.

In a place like Zhishou County, not to mention rice paper, but straw paper, ordinary people are reluctant to buy it. Now in Sheng Jiaojiao's Enlightenment School, they not only gave away their writing brushes, but also rewarded Lian Xin with a stack of straw paper.

They also want the scrap paper that sir rewarded
Sheng Jiaojiao glanced at the serious and longing faces of the children, tried her best to suppress the smile on the corner of her mouth, and started the formal lecture.

In the next enlightenment class, the children's performance was obviously much more serious than any previous class.

There were also a few furtively tilting their heads, their eyes kept looking at the trees piled up in the yard, they still couldn't resist their curiosity, they just wanted to know what these trees would look like if they were planted.

When the Enlightenment School was over, Sheng Jiaojiao made a special trip to keep these inattentive children behind.

At noon, Miss Qi came out of Mrs. Qi's room and was going to cook in the kitchen.

She saw Sheng Jiaojiao sitting on a chair in the yard, with a graceful and dignified posture.

The wind blew the corner of her skirt, Sheng Jiaojiao asked the well-behaved child in front of her with her head down,
"What are you thinking when sir is teaching?"

The child in front of him didn't dare to speak, his little face was flushed red, facing Sheng Jiaojiao's gentle eyes, it seemed to make him feel more uncomfortable than his father and mother beating him with a stick.

The other children who were not paying attention felt almost the same way.

Don't look at Sheng Jiaojiao's soft-spoken, even a bit slow in her speech, but she spoke clearly, her eyes were gentle, and there was a sense of majesty, which made the hearts of those children feel like Ling Chi.

A child timidly lowered his head and whispered:

"I want to see what those trees will look like when they are planted."

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at the other children and asked:

"You think the same way?"

Several children nodded.

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the chair, smiled slowly, and said calmly:

"Since your father and mother sent you to me, I have to be responsible to you. In my class, if you don't pay attention to the lecture, you must be punished."

Pointing to the few hoes piled up in the yard,
"Since you want to know what the tree will look like after it is planted, then go dig the hole, and memorize the book I taught today while digging the hole."

After finishing speaking, Sheng Jiaojiao got up and walked to her room.

The few children behind her who were not paying attention to the lecture looked at each other, and finally they could only honestly pick up the hoe and start digging holes in the yard of Qi's family.

Doing this kind of work is not difficult at all for the children of Zhishou County. It is rare to endorse aloud while digging a hole. These are all in class, and they have never listened to them carefully. of.

So in the yard of Qi's family, apart from the sound of "bang bang bang" hoes digging the ground, there were also a few stuttering sounds of reciting books.

What happened in the Qi family's yard was quickly spread back to the homes of these children, and the father who had children cursed angrily,

"Such a good opportunity, if Jiao Niang doesn't stop, she is willing to teach them. These bastards are not serious about learning, so they should! Let them dig holes and plant trees, and plant all the trees in Qi's family. Don't come back today!"

The rest of the silent fathers and mothers basically meant the same thing. It is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a free enlightenment school.

A person like Jiao Niang is ice-snow and smart, she is willing to bother to teach, but her own children are still unwilling to learn seriously, they simply don't know what to do.

So until the afternoon, these children who worked hard to plant trees in the yard of Qi's family were still digging holes to endorse.

None of the adults in the family came to pick them up.

This continued until Qi Rong came back from the barracks, driving his mules and dragging the cart.

After entering the village, everyone I met along the way smiled at Qi Rong.

Someone else asked:
"Shiro, where did you come from?"

Qi Rong pointed to his empty cart covered with black cloth, he didn't know what to say, he looked honest and naive.

Another laughed and said:

"Your family is really going to make a fortune this time. After buying so many trees, is this going to build a house, or what?"

When Qi Wei went out in the morning, the family had told him that a batch of trees would come today and asked him to plant them when he got home.

So he specially accelerated the speed of driving the mules today, and wanted to go home early to help plant trees.

At this time, his father, Uncle Qi, and Uncle Qi must have already rolled up their sleeves and dug a hole in the yard.

So Qi Rong answered the questioner honestly,
"Our family is going to plant trees. My third sister said that I want to plant a forest. It looks good."

"Tsk tsk."

The people who heard this made envious voices, the Qi family is now completely overwhelmed, there is a capable Dalang at home, Erlang is doing business outside, Jiao Niang runs the Enlightenment School at home, and the four seem to be strong capable.

With all the salaries and fire, the life of the Qi family is prospering at a visible speed.

Soon, Qi Rong dragged the empty cart to the outside of the Qi family's yard. He first looked into the yard, and there were several holes dug in the yard near the fence.

Sheng Jiaojiao was still in her room at this time, and when Miss Qi came to report that each child had dug a hole, she asked Mrs. Qi to distribute two apples to each of these children, and let the children go home. .

When Qi Rong arrived home, he happened to see several sweaty children walking out of Qi's yard with two apples in their hands.

Seeing the two apples in the children's hands, several curious villagers gathered outside Qi's yard again.

Someone whispered in the crowd:
"Have you heard? The person who sent the tree to the Qi family today is also from the noble family."

"I heard that the people who came to Qi's family to give gifts a few days ago were the staff members of the noble family."

"Really? Didn't you say you bought this tree?"

"Business and business, friendship comes from the business. Just watch, in the future, the Qi family may fly out some kind of golden phoenix."

The person who said this took a special look at Sheng Jiaojiao's room.

Everyone who heard this would understand that Sheng Jiaojiao grew up like that, ordinary people would not dare to accept her, for fear that she would not be able to keep it, but if it is a noble family in Jishang.
It seemed to be the place where Sheng Jiaojiao was born.

Qi Rong's face sank when he heard this.

He went around in a circle, parked the cart on the soil depression, took two money bags from the East and West Army camps, entered Sheng Jiaojiao's room, put the money bags on the small table, with a displeased expression on his face.

Sheng Jiaojiao was sitting cross-legged on the kang, translating a book for Tan Ji, seeing this, she asked:

"what happened to you?"

"People outside said that sister is a golden phoenix that is about to fly out."

Qi Rong clenched his small fist angrily, and punched the air a few times,

"I can't wait to tear their mouths apart."

But if he really dared to do this from a fellow countryman, Father would be the first to beat him to death.

Sheng Jiaojiao heard it amused, and the pen in her hand still kept on saying:
"It's not a bad thing to say that someone is a golden phoenix. Why are you so angry?"

"But I don't want my sister to leave home. Last year, sister Dahua from our village married to Huangshi Village. I heard that she was beaten and injured all over her body, and her husband's family still didn't take her back."

As he talked, Qi Wei seemed to see Sheng Jiaojiao being beaten by his future husband's family, and he was so angry that he shed tears.

Seeing his teardrops falling one by one, Sheng Jiaojiao sighed, put down the brush in her hand, stretched her hand over the small table, pinched Qi Rong's little face, and sighed:

"You, what have you been thinking about all day long in this little head? If your sister could marry, she would have been married long ago. How can you wait until now? Quickly count how much we earned today. money?"

She knows her own situation best. In her previous life, no one came to propose marriage to her until she married Yin Ze. Could it be because she was raised too delicately by the Qi family, and no one dared to marry her back home? Well.

Mentioning the silver money he earned today, Qi Rong regained his energy. He quickly opened the two money bags on the small table, poured out the copper coins inside, and said:

"In the past few days, I have been delivering medicinal materials and side dishes to Brother Ji and Big Brother's camp. Sometimes they come out to pick me up, sometimes they don't. I was surprised when the vegetables came to the military camp, and asked me where I got so many small vegetables and medicinal materials, I said, I bought some from the drug dealer, bought some from the shopkeeper, cut some in the field, and bought some from the folks. I collected some and planted some at home.”

These words were taught by Sheng Jiaojiao to Qi Rong in advance, and she has told Qi Rong many times.

Because the Tuao at home is a piece of fertile land, it seems that God has given some miracles, so many fresh and delicious side dishes have been grown, but if others know about this, they will come to snatch their fertile land.

So if you can cover it up, try to cover it up as much as possible.

Sheng Jiaojiao expected that Mrs. Qi San's medicine field had already been planted, and on the day it was planted, Uncle Qi came to help, sow the seeds of the medicinal materials, and carefully scattered the fertilizer.

Because the "fertilizer essence" given by Sheng Jiaojiao mixed with manure water has some effect on the growth of crops, so after a few days, the medicinal materials in the medicinal field have already sprouted.

But it doesn't feel particularly obtrusive.

The overall growth rate is still controlled within an acceptable range for ordinary people.

So what Sheng Jiaojiao taught Qi Rong to say is correct, it's not that he cut some from his own land, it's just that he said this in advance.

When the medicinal materials grow up, no one will doubt her anymore.

With his own strength, Qi Rong can't finish cutting the luxuriant vegetables in the field every day. He still has to spend time reading, practicing calligraphy, practicing swords, picking apples, and delivering vegetables and medicines to the military camp.

So how fast these small vegetables grow, Qi Rong has never calculated.

All he knew was that he went to Tuao to cut small vegetables every day, and he never finished cutting that piece of small vegetables every day.

No, although the pits in the yard were dug by those children from the Enlightenment School, the pits they dug were not deep enough. Dig the hole deeper.
