Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 519 Trip to Yizhou

  The beans grown in the farmland have many uses. The beans can be used for cooking and making bean rice. Of course, most of the time they are sold to grain merchants.

  Beans are very important feeds. Both cows and horses love to eat them, especially horses. Some beans should be mixed with good forage.

  The horses raised in this way have shiny hair, so most of the beans from the Zhou family were sold to grain merchants.

  It’s just that since the little Qian’s master of making tofu, the beans at home have rarely been sold out. In addition, there are many people in the village who exchange beans for tofu with them.

They used to make tofu and asked Tue Lang to take it to the county to sell their business. Now they open the shop directly to the county to make tofu. It is more convenient to make tofu. In addition, Xiao Qian’s learned a few things about tofu from Man Bao. Some changes have been made, and there are many dishes related to tofu, which can be regarded as a feature of Qianji Restaurant.

  Beans are cheap, making tofu is more cost-effective than other dishes except that it takes effort and time.

  But what Lao Zhou's family lacks most now is strength and time.

After working for a while, Zhou Dalang found that the shop needs a lot of tofu and bean curd every day, so he just paid for a stone mill and put it back in the shop’s backyard. Every morning, he can take turns pushing the stone mill with Saturday Lang. Grind the beans.

  Occasionally, the tofu is not enough after lunch, and you can make it again in the afternoon. It is more convenient than they had to pick the beans to the mill at the end of the street to grind the beans.

  The magistrate of Yang County likes to eat their tofu, all kinds of tofu, and therefore, slowly, Qianji Restaurant has gained a reputation in the county seat.

  Passenger flow gradually stabilized.

  And Xiaoqian and Zhou Xi are more familiar with the things in the shop. When Zhou Dalang returns to the farm, Xiaoqian and Zhou Xi can support the shop with Saturday Lang.

  In addition, the older children will occasionally help out on vacation, so the shop is not very busy.

  Speaking seriously, Mr. Zhuang and Bai Shanbao may be the busiest in Qili Village.

  Mr. Zhuang is now taking new students with him and he has to increase Bai Shanbao’s schoolwork, so he is very busy.

Man Bao is also very busy, but her busyness is implicitly busy. Although Mr. Zhuang still allows her to take the same class as Bai Shanbao, he does not have so many homework assignments for her, so on the surface, she is quite relaxed. .

  Ms. Nai He Mo gave her too many homework.

  Before, she was about to go to bed and then took most of the hour to go to the teaching room to listen to the get out of class. She could just read the medical books during the day, and she could do or not do all the homework as she wanted.

  But I don’t know why, Teacher Mo suddenly speeded up her progress. The teacher assigned homework. She would have a guilty conscience if she didn’t do it.

  Man Bao sighed while learning the art of medicine, and he was too busy.

  By the end of the year, Big Tou Da Ya and Er Tou Er Ya officially graduated from the school. They had learned abacus in the school and also learned simple accounting.

The old Zhou thinks that they have learned enough, and the big ones think so too. The main reason is that the husband mentioned to them that they have finished studying the "Book of Songs" and will consider studying "University" next year. The four of them turned it over. My sister-in-law’s textbook, I was so dizzy when she said what she wanted to study in "University", and the four of them decisively said that Grandpa was right.

  So the four of them officially graduated from the school. At the same time, there were a few classmates who graduated with them. They also studied for four or five years. Basically, the things they learned were enough for them without taking the imperial examination.

  Lao Zhoutou called the four grandchildren together. After watching them do an abacus, he touched the beard with satisfaction, and asked them to take turns to help in the shop, mainly responsible for collecting money and keeping accounts.

  Especially Datou and Ertou, he said: "When you are proficient in your own shop, you will go out to find the accounting office. It took two years. You have learned a craft that can make your life easier."

   Er Ya asked excitedly, "Then Grandpa, where are we?"

   "You guys, just help your mother take care of the accounts in your house."

  Man Bao, who was learning to make little rabbits with her second brother, immediately said: "Father, you can let Erya help Niang manage the accounts."

  Lao Zhou waved his head and said, "No, no, isn't there you still?"

   "But I'm going to Yizhou in the beginning of spring. At that time, the family spent a lot of money. I'm not at home. Can mother keep the accounts clear?"

  Lao Zhou's head was almost choked by the smoke, "What, are you going to Yizhou?"

   "Yes," Man Bao said, "After the beginning of spring, Mr. Shan Bao will go to Yizhou Kaofu to study."

  She said with joy: "Mr. said he would take me and Bai Er to see the world."

   "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"My husband only told me today. I was supposed to talk to you at night." Man Bao pulled the topic back and said to her father: "Father, although most of the expenses will be spent after the beginning of the spring, the sister-in-law will always You have money coming in every month, so you still have to remember such a large amount, so let Erya help Niang remember."

   "Okay," Lao Zhou didn't care too much about this. What he cared about was that his daughter was going to Yizhou. He was very worried, "Yizhou is so far away. You don't have to go to Yizhou to meet the world, right?"

  Qian came out of the house, and she heard it in the house. Hearing that, she glanced at Lao Zhou's head and asked Man Bao: "How long will it take to go?"

  "I don’t know, my husband said that the government examination is in April. We will leave in March. We will get to know the place early, and we will have to travel a little bit later. When we come back, it may not necessarily be the beginning of autumn."

   "So long? I can't worry about you going out alone."

  Saturday Lang immediately raised his hand, "Father, daddy, let me go with him."

  Lao Zhou glared at him and said, "You have a good time. I told you to come back to see you. If you go out with your sister for half a year, will you still marry a wife?"

   "I'm only seventeen, so I'm not in a hurry."

   "It's eighteen after the Chinese New Year!"

  Saturday Lang: "...Father, my birthday is just a few days away from Manbao. Can we not count as one year old without changing the year?"

Old Zhou snorted, and said, "Tomorrow you will go back to the county town to help your sister-in-law. Look at you, and you don’t know how your heart grows. Your fifth brother knew how to Save money to marry a wife, as for you, you are eighteen or nineteen, and you don’t want to marry a wife..."

   "Father, you just said that I was only eighteen after the Chinese New Year. Why is it nineteen?"

   "Xu Sui, what do you know as "Xu Sui"?"

  Saturday, who has just turned seventeen and less than two months old: ...he hates false years the most.

  Man Baole is very happy.

  Lao Zhoutou looked at her and said earnestly: "Man Bao, you are not young anymore, but you can't run around like before, otherwise you will not go to Yizhou this time."
