Chapter 23 Spiritual Soybeans
Early the next morning, the quiet Zhangjia Village was busy.The smoke of the cooking smoke rose, and the villagers had to go to work in the fields after breakfast.

In Zhang Family Manor, Zhang Wei sent Sun Chao and others away.They had to leave early in the morning so that they could get back to the county town by night.

The two chatted for a while, and Sun Chao once again sent Zhang Wei an invitation to play at his house when he was free.After being polite, the group left.

When they left, Zhang Wei said to Zhang Zhang, "Libo, prepare me something good, and I'll take it back to the house to eat."

Zhang Zhang smiled and replied, "Okay young master."

Last night, there was one less futon.The maid did not come out this morning.How can the tension of aging and becoming refined not know what is going on.

However, Xiaoqian, as a personal maid, was originally going to take the house.In the past, Zhang Wei was not allowed by his body, but now that his body has recovered, this should also happen.

Not long after, Zhang Zhang's daughter-in-law brought a food box, which contained shredded chicken porridge, egg cake, and brown sugar cake.It looks like a nutrient-dense thing.

Zhang Wei took the food box and turned back to his room.

He was going to comfort his little maid, because she didn't believe what she said, and the little maid is very angry now.

When she came to the bed, the girl on the bed was rolling up the quilt, wrapping herself into a caterpillar, with her back to Zhang Wei, making a silent protest.

Zhang Wei came to her, pushed her gently, and said, "Don't be angry, the young master knows it's wrong. I brought you shredded chicken porridge, egg cake and brown sugar cake. You were exhausted last night, too. Get up and eat something."

Hearing Zhang Wei say this, Xiaoqian became even more angry.She said sullenly, "You clearly promised not to mess around..."

Her tone was full of resentment and anger.

Zhang Wei sat beside the bed, sighed and said, "I think so too, I don't think I will mess around. But I still overestimate myself. I can't help it. You are so beautiful..."

Hearing Zhang Wei's praise, Xiao Qian was very angry, but she gradually accepted the result.

She was originally the young master, but she was suddenly not ready.And sir...

Thinking of this, the little girl became even more angry.

'fraud! ' she said bitterly.

Then at this time, she smelled a very tempting smell.It was the porridge that inspired the smell of the sesame oil, and there seemed to be the fragrance of the shallots.

Smelling this smell, her stomach growled unsatisfactorily.She turned her head and saw that Zhang Wei was constantly rolling a bowl of shredded chicken porridge by the bed, white shredded chicken porridge, green shallot leaves, and fragrant sesame oil.

Xiaoqian couldn't help swallowing, she was really hungry.

Zhang Wei is now smiling and saying, "You're hungry, get up and eat porridge. I'll feed you."

Hearing what he said, Xiaoqian glared at him and said fiercely, "I don't want you to feed me! I can eat it myself!"

The little maid is finally coaxed!Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Before long, the manor fell silent.Zhang Wei stood in the courtyard, and he could see Zhang Li and his sons and daughters-in-law went out with farm implements.

On the hillside not far away, the splendid rapeseed flowers have long since faded, the pods have turned yellow, and it is time to harvest the rapeseed.

Zhang Li and other family members served Zhang's father, but they actually served as tenant farmers.Their main job is to take care of a large area of ​​rapeseed and sesame fields in the back mountain, and they are only part-timers to take care of the manor and Zhang's family.

It's July, and it's the time to harvest rapeseed, which can be harvested and another season of sesame seeds can be planted.When the sesame seeds are harvested, rapeseed can be sown for overwintering.

The economic value of oil crops is much higher than that of cereal crops.But farmers still like to grow food crops, because food is the guarantee of survival.Only if Zhang Wei's family is not short of money can they purely grow oil crops.

Zhang Li and his family have harvested the rapeseed and still need to squeeze oil, waiting for Zhang family to send someone to transport the refined oil, and then provide food, cloth, salt and other living necessities.

They just need to farm well and don't care about other things, and they live better than most people in the village.

When it was almost noon, Zhang Li's two daughters-in-law went home.They came back to cook for Zhang Wei.After cooking and serving Zhang Wei and the two of them, they had to go down to the fields to continue working.They will not come back until evening.

Farmers live a busy and fulfilling life. When they return home in the evening, they can warm up a pot of turbid wine and chew a few pickles at home, which is another beautiful end to the day.

In the afternoon, the Zhang family came again.The servant came to Zhang Wei, took out a sluggish local dog and said, "Master, this dog you raised barked all night after you left, and we fed it and it didn't eat, it's really bad. The only way is to send it to you."

It was a native dog soybean.At this time, Soybean's spirit was sluggish, and it was indeed like a day of hunger and sleepiness.

Seeing soy beans like this, Xiaoqian was so distressed that she hurriedly brought him porridge and broth.

The puppy looked at the two masters before wagging its tail and 'woohoo' to eat.Soon a pot of porridge and broth was dried up by it.

After eating and drinking, the puppy came to Zhang Wei's feet slightly aggrieved, biting his trousers and calling.

Zhang Wei squatted down, touched its head lightly, and said, "It's my fault, I left you at home and didn't bring it out!"

He was secretly amazed in his heart, this dog's spirituality is so high.In the absence of an owner, he would go on a hunger strike and not sleep.It is anxious because it does not see its owner, not what the owner feeds it. This is the performance of a peerless good dog.

Zhang Wei stroked it lightly, the puppy was not Xiaoqian, it would get angry with its owner there, and soon rolled up its belly to enjoy Zhang Wei's stroking.

Zhang Wei suddenly asked, "Xiaoqian, this puppy was caught by Zhangjia Village."

Xiaoqian nodded and said, "Yes, it was caught at the village chief's house, and his family's rhubarb just hugged him."

"The puppy you chose is very spiritual." Zhang Wei said.

"That's right, I saw it at a glance, and I knew it was a good dog." Xiaoqian said proudly.

Zhang Wei shook his head, this kind of spiritual dog is rare, Xiaoqian is really lucky.

A few days have passed in a peaceful life, and there are still ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.Sun Chao appeared in Zhangjia Village again.

This time he came with an official document.

In Zhang's ancestral hall, the dim-eyed village chief was looking at it seriously with an official document.Next to him sat Zhang Wei and Sun Chao.

As the only scholar in the village, he must be present for a 'big event' such as the official document in the county, which is also one of the roles of a scholar.Identifying the authenticity of official documents and interpreting them is the responsibility of a scholar.

Zhang Wei had already read this official document, and now he is chatting with Sun Chao.
