Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 10

"Brother Quan probably hasn't had breakfast yet. If you don't eat casually at my place, it's also a thank you for coming to me early in the morning and telling me what I'm about to report."

Hearing that there was something to eat, Jia Quan couldn't help hesitating.

I went to the private school early in the morning, but because I was the least educated among a dozen children, I was sent by my husband to inform students similar to Shi Zhongkui.

After running six or seven places in a row, not only was I tired, but the little food I ate in the morning had already been digested.

Shi Zhongkui saw that although his forehead was sweating slightly, but his clothes were thin, he knew that he was not doing well.

However, most of the source of income of the old scholars in the private school depends on the training of the students. It is conceivable that Jia Quan, who runs errands, is definitely not valued by the private school.

And it doesn't look like he's doing very well academically.

Private schools also need fame, and most of the gentlemen will look at them differently when they meet a student.

Coupled with the fact that children who are half-old eat to death, children of this age will be hungry at every turn.

Stretching out his hand to pull Brother Quan in, Shi Zhongkui asked him to sit down for a while.

I went to the kitchen by myself, but no flour.

Instead, the 17 to 8 catties of wheat left after harvesting and sowing yesterday were crushed in the space together with the husks and grains to make whole wheat flour with a grayish black color.

And the degree of crushing is not high, almost the same as the coarse-grain cakes I ate when I was a child in my memory, and then I made a round cake the size of a fist.

In ancient times, steamed buns, steamed buns, cooking cakes and other things can be called noodle cakes, and many poor families even saved the process of grinding noodles in order to save money.

I beat it with a stone hammer at home, and cooked it with wheat bran and half-broken wheat grains.

While waiting for the steamed buns to be cooked, Shi Zhongkui was taken aback when he thought of something.

Since this kid is called Jia Quan, could he be a member of the Jia family in the capital?
Then he felt that he shouldn't.

If you're from the Jia family, why don't you go to the ethnology to study?
Of course, it is also possible that the partial housing is not eligible, or someone refuses to let it go and cannot pay the money.

And from the name, even if Jia Quan is really a member of the Jia family, he is definitely a side room in the Jia family's side room, otherwise his father would not have given him the word 'Quan'.

If he is of the same generation as Jia Baoyu, his name will definitely have the word "Wang" next to it, such as Jia Zhu and Jia Lian.

The younger generation is the word with the initials of cursive, such as Jia Lan, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Qin, Jia Yun.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhongkui couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, and even if Brother Quan really belonged to Jia's family, it's hard to say who is plotting who.

Just being a Ma Daopo almost cursed Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng to death, giving myself half a year or a year to practice, the means must be stronger than Ma Daopo.

Seeing Shi Zhongkui come in with 4 steamed buns, Brother Quan couldn't help swallowing.

After eating two fist-sized steamed buns in twos and twos, Brother Quan's perception of Shi Zhongkui suddenly rose several steps.

He answered all the questions without answering, and didn't realize that he had been tricked a lot by others.

After slowly finishing the two steamed buns that were not easy to swallow, Shi Zhongkui basically finished asking what he wanted to ask.

Sending Brother Quan away, he sat at the stone table in the courtyard and began to think.

What is certain is that there is indeed a Jia family of two dukes in the capital.

Jia Quan is really a relative of Jia's family. His family lives in the backstreet clan of Rongguo Mansion, but his father should have died very early, and the family's life is not good.

So his mother's visit to the Jia family was very poor.

Moreover, Jia Family Studies is also required to be completed.

20 taels a year, compared to only 6 taels a year for old scholars, don't even think about it, you must go to a private school outside to study.

In addition, the ethnology teacher Jia Dairu has read books all his life, so he is also a scholar.

Second, Lin Daiyu's situation is unknown, but Xue Pan's family has already come to the capital, because this guy has been taken advantage of and behaved generously, and he has already gained a lot of fame among the Jia family.

Since Xue Pan's family showed up, Lin Daiyu must have entered the Rongguo Mansion as well.

However, these are not the point.

What Shi Zhongkui is most concerned about now is that the county magistrate of Daxing County is rumored to be related to the old scholar of the private school.

There is a high probability that the old scholar said this to himself on purpose, maybe he was defrauding himself of his money, or those twenty fans.

But since the old scholar didn't want any face, that is to say, if he didn't give him some benefits, in case he really had a relationship with the county magistrate.

I have to take the county test in Daxing County, and I promise that the old man will not be able to keep the promise of passing the county test, but the possibility of bad things is very high.

But even if you need money, you have to wait until after the farm has harvested.

Continue to practice the technique of divine movement, and feel that I must enter the 8 meters for [-] seconds. After lunch, I will use the practice of aura instead of a nap.

The time came to mid-afternoon unknowingly, and the 19 wheat fields were about to mature at this time.

And what is surprising is that although the peach tree is only 2 meters high and two fingers thick, there are still 20 green and red peaches of similar size growing on the branches.

In other words, no matter what is planted, there is a high probability that it will be ripened once a day, and it will produce 10 catties at a time.

Shi Zhongkui immediately thought of growing tea, spices, or commonly used medicinal materials that are only found in the south.

Commonly used means that the sales volume is large, and no one will pay attention to it.

The products produced in the south are much more expensive than the products in the north just because of the freight.

Even just going to Suzhou and Hangzhou to purchase silk, and transporting it back in the storage space, can earn 2 to 3 percent.

Otherwise, the rice from the south would not be several layers more expensive, or even doubled, when it was transported to the capital.

Regardless of whether it is cultivation, or studying and taking the imperial examinations, money is indispensable.

Good cinnabar is not cheap just by using spells.

For professional supplies such as talisman paper, the price and quality are quite different.

Good ones can be worth a few taels of silver, and bad ones can be worth tens of pennies, but the effect will also be so poor that people doubt life.
-
After the sun turned to the west, Shi Zhongkui harvested all the wheat first, harvesting 190 catties of wheat.

Another 20 peaches between 4 taels and 6 taels were collected.

With a thought, 20 peaches, which are considered very large in this age, slowly dried out more than half of their water and turned into preserved fruits.

Finally, 19 peach pits were planted in the farm.

Only then did he take out the remaining big peach that was bigger than his fist and weighed at least six.

Wash it clean and bite it down, and the lips and teeth will be fragrant immediately.

Plump and juicy, crisp and refreshing, it is even more delicious than modern peaches that have been cultivated from improved varieties.

Comparing this era with no chemical fertilizers and no scientific cultivation of seedlings, a peach weighing at most 2 or 3, the things produced by the farm are definitely the top grade among the top grades.

Unfortunately, the more colorful it is, the harder it is to take it out in winter.

You can also buy it with luck if you give it to relatives and friends.

But if they want to sell it in large quantities, at least they have to wait until they buy the fields and hills in reality, and try to plant the grown peach trees in the space farm in the mountains.

Then, in season, it is mixed with peaches produced in the real world, and some of them are sold.

And selling preserved fruit, there is not so much trouble.

Thinking of transplanting to his own forest or inferior fields in the future, Shi Zhongkui subconsciously thought, at least leave the first peach tree in the space farm.

In the future, it might grow into a fairy tree like a real flat peach.
