Liangfu space has a little field

Chapter 70 Inseparable, find someone!

"But Brother Heizi..." Xiaomi wanted to persuade her, but Heizi raised his hand to stop her from continuing: "I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't have time, let your brother go, no matter what happens in the future , A bit of knowledge is better than anything else. Alright, let’s discuss it tomorrow morning and leave first.”

"Brother Heizi..." Xiaomi wanted to stop him, but Xiaoyong stopped him halfway: "Okay Mier, I know you are doing it for the good of others, but there are some things you don't understand. Your brother Heizi is mysterious Unpredictable, you and I don’t know what to do in the back mountain every day, and even occasionally come back with blood and wounds, we have promised him that we will ignore his affairs, have you forgotten?”

"But, he didn't have a chance before, but now he has a chance, isn't it, is studying more important?"

"What do you know? What is it that he didn't have a chance before? Look at his ability, he is a person who allows himself to have no chance? But if he thinks, how can he not do it? Why did he bring his mother to live in seclusion in the mountains? Have you ever seen your aunt go down the mountain? Even if people came from the village, she avoided seeing them. The mother and son are so low-key that many people in the village have never seen them. If it wasn’t for our family, maybe their family is still there. Living a semi-reclusive life, Xiaomi, this is the secret of others, you shouldn’t ask, don’t ask, understand?”

Hearing Mi Xiaoyong's words, Xiaomi was very sure that his brother had known a lot of things during this period of time, but he had to pretend to be ignorant. Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling annoyed at his recklessness: "What about you, brother?" , do you have any plans to study?"

Where does Mi Xiaoyong not want to go?But if the tofu shop is close to their mother and son, wouldn't it be...

"I'm not going!"

"Brother, don't worry, the tofu workshop produces 150 catties a day, and we can still handle it. Studying is the most important thing!"

Mi Xiaoyong was still worried, he frowned, and said to Mi Xiaomi: "I'll think about it again!"

Mi Xiaomi knew that he was worried about his family, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he didn't make things difficult for him, nodded, and went home together.

As far as Mi Rao knows, the imperial examination system of the Kingdom of Jin is similar to the imperial examination system in ancient China in history, and they all have to go through layers of selection. Obviously, Mi Xiaoyong, who only entered school at the age of 12, has obviously passed the best learning period, but, It is everyone's dream to be able to enter school, not to mention that the children's entrance examination does not distinguish between ages, and Mi Xiaoyong is not completely without opportunities.

Therefore, when Mi Xiaomi told the Chen family and the Qin family about this matter, they got unanimous approval from everyone. In this way, Mi Xiaoyong was forced into the school by his mother when the unanimous vote was passed.

However, Mi Xiaoyong, who is the person involved, has been hesitating, thinking that if he leaves, all the heavy work in the family will fall on his mother and younger sister. How can he bear to watch them work so hard for him?
Fortunately, Heizi saw his worry: "Don't worry, you can come back to help everyone after school, and I will try my best to come back, no matter how bad it is, I will find someone to help."

"Looking for someone?" Xiaoyong looked at Heizi anxiously. Heizi looked sideways and nodded at him. For a moment, Mi Xiaoyong seemed to think of something, and then looked at his mother who was looking at him expectantly. Looking at Heizi strangely: "Why did you give up such a good opportunity? The money at home is not enough. If you don't go, I will..."

Heizi suddenly raised his hand to stop what he was going to say: "Whether I go or not has nothing to do with money, and it has nothing to do with you. I have my own things to do, and I am not in a hurry to study. I will have my own opinions later. Yours The task is to practice martial arts and study, understand?"

When Mi Xiaoyong heard this, he raised his eyes in surprise: "So, we don't have to miss our daily homework?"

"Frozen three feet does not happen in a day. If you want to become a master, you have to work ten times harder than others. Starting today, you will practice physical strength during the day and basic skills at night."

"Really? We, can we finally practice basic skills?"

Heizi nodded: "The most important thing to practice is the basic skills. If your physical strength can't keep up, everything will be impossible. Since you have entered the school, you should arrange the practice time in the morning and evening."

"Don't worry, my sister and I will stick to it to the end." At the same time as Mi Xiaoyong promised, he was also echoed by Mi Xiaomi: "Although you are busy with your work, you don't have to worry about the family affairs. It’s not too late to ask you when I’m really too busy.” After all, in her opinion, it would only cause unnecessary trouble if there was one more person in the Hei family unexpectedly, let alone talking about it. After the two left, only their orphans and widows were left, so it was not appropriate to think about it.

Heizi heard Xiaomi's concerns in his heart, and after pondering for a while, he agreed: "Okay, since you said so, I will listen to you, but you must remember that if you have any difficulties, you must talk to us. I will go home to help, don't try to be brave, understand?"

Xiaomi chuckled: "Anyway, I won't make trouble with my body anyway, don't worry, you just do your own work and leave the family to me!"

After arranging these three people to return home, and explaining everything to Chen and Qin, Heizi said to everyone: "I will go to Lizheng early tomorrow morning and ask him to arrange for Xiaoyong to enter school."

Ancient China was a traditional agricultural society, and everything revolved around farming, as did the entrance education in the Kingdom of Jin.The specific enrollment time is: the first month of farming before starting, the summer retreat in August, and the time when the inkstone is frozen in November.

It can be seen from this that Mi Xiaoyong's admission time happened just in time for the withdrawal of the department in August, which can be said to be just right!

In modern times, it is generally stipulated that children enter school at the age of six or seven. In ancient times, it was later than in modern times, generally between the ages of 8 and 15.Among them, the 8-year-old enrollment age of "eight-year-old and eight-confused", which is taboo by some modern parents, was the most mainstream in ancient times, and so was Jin Guo.That is to say, you can enter primary school until you are 15 years old.Xiaoyong is 12 years old this year, not the latest.

Early the next morning, after training, Heizi brought Mi Xiaoyong to Li Zheng, and when he heard that Mi Xiaoyong was about to enroll, Li Zheng was also very pleased: "Okay, okay, that's great, if Mi Gang can watch I’m afraid I’ll cry with joy too! In this way, today I’ll go to Mi’s Academy to find Mr. Qin, and when school starts, Xiaoyong can go straight there!”

Mi Xiaoyong thanked Lizheng gratefully, and asked about the tuition fee, Lizheng waved his hand gently: "Since we are in our school in Mijia Village, there will naturally be various discounts. People with foreign surnames pay two taels of silver a year. One to two to five hundred words is enough."

"Then thank you, Grandpa Lizheng. Xiaoyong will go back and prepare." After Lizheng explained a few more precautions for admission, he sent the two brothers away. Looking at their backs, he rubbed his face with a sigh My own beard: "Mi Gang's two children seem to be in their prime. Okay, that's great, Misang, Misang, you don't know how to cherish such a good grandson. In the future, you will regret it!"

After receiving Li Zheng's personal approval for the enrollment, Xiaomi took Mi Xiaoyong into the town for shopping. In addition to the pens, inks, papers and inkstones he bought last time, he bought many better ones this time, along with the books, The bookcases, fabrics, and shoes are arranged properly from top to bottom, and the whole family is excitedly preparing for Mi Xiaoyong's enrollment.

Counting back and forth, it turned out to be as much as five taels of silver. This amount can't help but make Xiaomi stunned. It's no wonder that in ancient times, he had to pay for his children to go to school. How could the tuition and other expenses be affordable by ordinary people? started?

Fortunately, their family has survived, and they no longer have to look at Missan's eyes to do things, so my brother has the opportunity to study. Thinking about it carefully, this journey has been really hard!

While their family was busy with Mi Xiaoyong, the news of Mi Sang's official resignation was confirmed by himself, but what he said was resignation. The last face, not for anything else, just for Mi Yan, a future scholar.

A country cannot live without a king, and a village cannot live without a leader. After Mi Sang's resignation was announced, Mi Liang lived up to expectations and became the new village head of Mijia Village.

At this point, the farce about the Misang family has come to an end for the time being. As for the haunting talk, although it has the meaning of ending, it is hard to guarantee that the Mijia villagers will not take it to heart. In the future, the Misang family may be subject to some restrictions.

On August [-]th, Mi Xiaoyong officially entered school, and the school and school hours were similar to modern times. After he got on the right track, Xiaomi also resumed the tofu and tomato sauce business that had been suspended with Ruyi Restaurant.

In this way, the Hei family started to be fully busy. Three people got up at four o'clock in the morning at the same time, trained for three hours, had breakfast, went to school after dinner, went up the mountain, started to make tofu, and was busy until eleven o'clock. Started making lunch again, saw the two of them off, took a lunch break for an hour, then made tofu and sauces, and waited until Mi Xiaoyong got out of school before Xiaomi made time to go into the space to tidy up her vegetable plot. At the end of the day, she was almost in a constant state Fortunately, every morning when Ruyi Restaurant came to fetch tofu, Xiaomi also loaded up the tomato sauce and vegetables and sent them away. As for fish, shrimp and eggs, they would send them away once every four days.

After half a month of busy work, leaving aside the expenses of the family, the deposit has risen from 180 taels to 400 taels. This is something that Xiaomi never even dared to think about before.

As the weather gets cooler and cooler, in the blink of an eye, when the autumn harvest season comes, when every household is busy breaking corn, the millet’s is not yet fully mature, and is in an embarrassing period when it is older than tender corn and tender than mature corn. When Heizi was hesitating whether to pick or not, Xiaomi thought of a good way. The whole family joined forces and took all the corn back home with the villagers. Since the school was on autumn harvest vacation, the two hurried Sow the winter wheat in a hurry.

After tidying up the work in the field, Mi Xiaoyong went to school, and Heizi went up the mountain naturally, while Xiaomi, Chen Shi, and Qin Shi peeled all the intact and clean corn kernels into the Soak it in Lingquan water in a large basin, and after 72 hours, send the soaked corn kernels into a millstone for grinding and crushing into a pulp.

During this period, Xiaomi bought a little donkey for three taels of silver, which could help Xiaomi grind corn syrup.

After the ground slurry is precipitated to remove impurities, the starch that sinks at the bottom is dried in the sun, and it becomes simple corn starch.

Taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather, Xiaomi's family hurriedly turned all the corn on the seven-acre field into starch, filled dozens of sacks, large and small, and when the drying outside was uneven, Xiaomi got the space to ask Bai Wu to help. Dry, process and store.
