The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 42 Talent
At night, Aunt Zhang looked at the silkworm house again, and when she was about to close the door, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

She saw that the pile of raw silk she had placed was also a bit wrong.

Although the change was small, she still felt it.

Feeling more.

She greets these things every day, and she is more sensitive to any changes.

After thinking about it, I still can't figure it out.

But it's more than less, which is a good thing anyway, so I just don't want to.

Runtu returned home and took out some mulberries from the space.

There are many of them in red, black and purple.

Very sweet.

Mulberry fruit is very delicious.

"Brother, why are you coming back now? We've all finished our meal."

"Go out for a walk and come back after picking some mulberries."

After thinking about it, I also talked about Zhang Ergou.

The family members are a little worried.

"How is the second dog injured?"

"I've asked the doctor to look at it. It's nothing serious. I just went to Aunt Zhang's house. Aunt Zhang's house has a lot of silkworms."

I don't have silkworms at home, so I can't do it.

There are still many things at home.

My father has to do part-time labor and weaving baskets, and the family still has land, so if the family raises silkworms, it will be a bit exhausting.

And this sericulture is not very reliable, in case something goes wrong.

Farming is different.

There is sufficient rain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and God is still very strong, so there will be no crop failure.

The most feared natural disaster is flood.

Much more reliable than silkworm rearing.

Raw silk is very expensive.

But silkworm farmers can't sell them at high prices.

Those who come to collect raw silk are middlemen.

The prices given are all lower prices, which are very low, and are different from the selling prices.

Raw silk is especially popular with foreigners, and the price is even higher after going to sea.

But these have nothing to do with silkworm farmers.

There is no other way to lower the price.

Self-employed people can't do it for others.

Silkworm cocoons can't be placed for too long.

Moreover, silkworm farmers are basically short of money. If they want to get money early, they will be manipulated by those silk collectors with this mentality.

Basically, the price of wire collection is relatively low.

There is a saying that those who are all over the place are not silkworm farmers, farmers cannot make money, and it is a problem to support a family.

On the second day, Runtu went back to the county seat.

Continue to study at Sanwei Bookstore.

Basically, in the past two days, I will take some time to see Ergou every day.

Recovery is okay.

It is estimated that it will be all right in two or three days.

When it was time to leave, Runtu came to the church again.

It was found that Zhang Ergou and John were talking in English.

Runtu was stunned. He knew English because later generations learned it for more than ten years, but the key is not very good.

Ergou had never been exposed to English before, and he was able to have a simple conversation with John.

This language talent is a bit strong.

Runtu: "Mr. John."

He took out several sheets of paper, and the content on them was something that he couldn't understand after reading books these days.

All marked down.

There are a lot of questions.

John was a little surprised, he didn't expect Runtu to be so eager to learn.

He also got to know some Chinese scholars. There are many people who work hard, much harder than their foreigners.

John pointed to the contents above and explained to Runtu very patiently.

Runtu was the first Chinese who didn't look at him differently, and it seemed that Runtu was very unusual.He also cared more about Runtu.

It took a while to understand, and Runtu took some notes.

"Brother Ergou, let me take you back first. After these few days, my aunt should be in a hurry."

Send him back to the village, and then come back, the time will come up in time, and it will be around seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

"No need to give it away, I can do it alone."

Although the cut on his leg was stitched up, it is almost scarred now, but Runtu doesn't worry about him, so it's better to send him back.

On the way, Runtu was still asking, "Brother Ergou, you actually learned foreign language?"

"That foreigner taught me, and I only know the simplest ones."

"That's amazing. Brother Ergou, you should learn to read. You can't stay in the village all the time, come out. The outside world is very vast."

Runtu thought about mentioning Zhang Ergou's ability.

Think about the Han Gaozu Liu Bang's uprising in Kuaiji.

The capable men under his command, like Xiao He and Fan Kuai, all came from the same county.

A county can have a team that can conquer the world.

After thinking a lot about cultivating two of our own talents.

Zhang Ergou has a good skill, and today he discovered his language talent. If he can master foreign languages, he will be a good businessman by then.

"Recognize?"

After hearing what Runtu said, Zhang Ergou thought about what he should do in the future for the first time.

Raise silkworms like family members?farming.

It is not difficult to live.

He had talked to John a lot this week.

Knowing the vast world outside, he also has a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Now that he heard Runtu say this again, his thoughts became even bigger.

Zhang Runtu took out the book on natural evolution.

"Brother Ergou, take a look, can you understand this book?"

"not understand."

Runtu's expectations were too high.

That's right, it's only been a week, and being able to do some of the simplest communication in English is already pretty amazing.It is indeed impossible to ask others to read English books.

On the way, Runtu told him many things.

He just talked about his family's raw silk.

Let's talk about it carefully, and talk about how much the middleman can earn.

What is the price for silkworm farmers?

Zhang Ergou was a little dissatisfied when he heard this. Why did he work so hard to raise silkworms, but the money he earned was not as much as those second-hand dealers made by selling them together.

Since he couldn't understand foreign language, Runtu took out some more books.

"Brother Ergou, take some time to read these books carefully, they will be of great use in the future."

Runtu decided that he must train Zhang Ergou well, and when he develops in the future, he must have a few capable and trustworthy people under his command.Zhang Ergou knows the basics and is the best candidate.

Zhang Ergou was the same as before he did not time travel. He had studied for a year or two, but he simply recognized some characters and did not continue to study.When I was a little older, I helped with household chores.

After hearing what Runtu said, Ergou had some ideas.

It took almost three hours to send Ergou home.

He didn't go home, so he rushed to the county seat.

Come home at night.

I made something to eat and went to bed.

entered the space.

You have to enter the space once a day, this hundred times the time speed cannot be wasted.

Just read those two English books.

With what John said today, it is more convenient to learn.
