Space Farming: Pampered

Chapter 22 Unemployment
Not to mention a big and good Zhuangzi, even an ordinary small Zhuangzi would cost thousands of taels of silver.

Days passed, and the ten acres of land bought from Mrs. Shen had already been planted with the corn seeds that Shen Jintang cultivated in the space in his previous life.

Shen Jintang told Shen Mu and others that she bought the corn seeds at the seed shop in the town.

A rain fell, and the corn seedlings in the field also grew vigorously. In just ten days, they had already grown tall.

In the hometown of Shen Jintang in the previous life, there was an old saying that the wheat turned its head, and the golden cicada climbed the tree.

Especially after the heavy rain, the golden cicadas crawled out of the soil and climbed up the trees plumply.

The golden cicada is full of treasures, its meat has high protein content, and the cicada shell can also be used as medicine.

Therefore, when Shen Jintang saw the first golden cicada that had just crawled out of the soil, it was a big surprise.

Shen Yunxuan and Shen Yunxuan couldn't help being curious when they saw that she took a clay pot and caught the golden cicada that was half of it.

Shen Yunxuan frowned and asked: "Little sister, this summer's golden cicada is disturbing, why are you catching it?"

Shen Jintang smiled. People here only know that the golden cicadas in summer are disturbing, but they don't know that this is a good delicacy.

"Brother, when I cook it and serve it to the table, you will know what I did with it." Shen Jintang said.

"Serve it on the table? Can this golden cicada be eaten?"

Not only Shen Yunxie and Shen Yunxuan were surprised, but even Shen Mu and Wu Qiuniang's husband and wife heard that this golden cicada could be eaten for the first time.

Shen Jintang nodded, cleaned the golden cicadas, and salted them.

Seeing this, Shen Mu and the others couldn't help but look forward to it.

Because Shen Jintang's food has never disappointed them.

After marinating those golden cicadas for an afternoon, Shen Jintang washed them twice with clean water before pouring oil into the pan, and when the oil was hot, put the golden cicadas into the pan to fry slowly.

Not to mention Shen Yunxuan who was helping to light the fire stretched his neck to look into the pot, even Shen Mu and Shen Yunxuan father and son who were reading and practicing in the room also ran out smelling the fragrance.

Seeing the eager eyes of the father and son, Wu Qiuniang couldn't help but smile: "Look at you guys, are there not enough good things to eat at home these days?"

When Shen Mu, father and son heard this, embarrassment appeared on their faces.

Although the smell is mouth-watering, but if they really want to put it in their mouths, they are a little hesitant. After all, this golden cicada looks like a bug.

Shen Jintang put one in his mouth with chopsticks, and said to them with a smile: "Father, mother, elder brother, second brother, this is delicious, you should try it too, don't be afraid."

Shen Yunxuan hesitated, took one and slowly put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious, it's really delicious. Parents, you guys should eat too."

Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, Shen Mu and the others also picked up one and put it in their mouths and started eating.

Before I knew it, a big plate of golden cicadas had bottomed out.

Shen Yunxuan was still unsatisfied, and said: "Let's catch some more and marinate them and eat them slowly. I think this is better than meat. It is fragrant but not greasy."

Shen Yunxi also nodded in agreement.

Now is the time for the golden cicada to be unearthed, and the people here don't know that the golden cicada is edible, and the reproduction is almost overwhelmed.

In just a few days, a lot of them were caught and pickled.

On this day, Shen Jintang was grinding the prepared medicinal herbs into powder at home to make pills, when Shen Mu, Shen Yunxuan and Shen Yunxuan, father and son who had gone to school, came back.

Shen Mu's usual elegant face was tainted with a bit of despair, and Shen Yunxuan's and Shen Yunxuan's complexions were also unsightly.

Seeing that the three of them came back at this hour, Wu Qiuniang couldn't help but have a bad feeling in her heart.

"Why are you back now? Did something happen to the school?" She asked with a worried expression.

Shen Mu smiled wryly and opened his mouth, but found that his mouth was dry and he didn't know what to say.

Shen Yunxuan threw the cloth bag containing the books in his hand on the stone table in the yard, and said angrily: "I heard that a master Juren came from Jeju Prefecture, and he was a teacher in the county government for a few days. Those people in the town They are all snobbish, so let that master Juren take over Dad's position and teach in the school."

As for Shen Mu, at best he was asked to go home to rest, at worst he was kicked out.

Shen Yunyu interjected from the side: "At the beginning, they invited Dad to be a teacher in the school." Now that there is a master Juren with a higher reputation, he turned his face and refused to recognize him.

Shen Mu smiled wryly, sat down at the side, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I can't blame them, it's always been like this in this world."

When Shen Yunxuan and Shen Yunxuan heard the words, although they knew that what their father said was the truth, they still felt very angry when they remembered the faces of those people at that time.

Pick up the bowl to eat meat, put down the chopsticks and scold mothers, that is the group of people mentioned.

When Wu Qiuniang heard this, although she was very angry, she still endured it, thought for a while and said: "Anyway, our family is not short of money now, and next year you will go to the county to take the township examination. If so, these days will be Study hard at home."

Shen Jintang also comforted at the side: "Father, since you are interested in official career, even if you don't come to the master Juren, you will not always teach in this town, will you? And now that the family has a field, I will buy Zhuangzi and my mother later. The two of you are too busy, and you and your brother can still help out at home during this time."

Hearing his wife's words and his daughter's soft words of comfort, Shen Mu only felt that the gloom in his heart had dissipated a lot.

Shen Mu is no longer teaching in the school, so the two brothers Shen Yunlu and Shen Yunxuan will naturally not go to the school anymore.

It's just that Shen Yunxuan still goes to the town to practice martial arts with his martial master for half a day every day.

But in just two or three days, the news spread that a master Juren came to the town to replace Mr. Shen Mu as the teacher.

When Shen Jintang's family went out, they were always looked at with sympathy or gloating.

Of course, Shen Yunxuan who practiced martial arts in the town for half a day was no exception.

The martial arts gym where Shen Yunxuan practiced martial arts was not far from the school where Shen Mu taught before, and he had to pass by the entrance of the school when he returned home after practicing martial arts.

That day, when Shen Yunxuan finished his martial arts training and was about to go home, it was lunch time at the school.

Several well-dressed teenagers in long gowns were strolling around the entrance of the school. When they saw Shen Yunxuan passing by, one of the teenagers suddenly stretched out his legs.Wanted to trip him up.

Shen Yunxuan stepped over his lap without looking sideways.

Seeing this, the other teenagers walked up to Shen Yunxuan with unkind expressions and blocked his way.

"Shen Yunxuan, don't you have eyes?" The young man couldn't catch him, he felt that he lost face, and asked in a cold voice.
