Nongmen shrew: Farming with cubs is spoiled by rough men

Chapter 163 Encouraging three subjects to take the imperial examination

After hearing the words, the little guys didn't say anything more.

They all know that aunt is for their own good.

However, the wine was really fragrant, it smelled sour and sweet, even though they knew they couldn't drink it, they stretched their necks and smashed their mouths.

Qin Zhiyi took a special look at Erni and Dabao, the two little guys thought about the embarrassment of being drunk, and grinned at Qin Zhiyi.

Er Ni even more obediently picked up the food with the chopsticks and put it in the bowls of several uncles and aunts.

In the end, he brought food for her and Fei Chengcheng.

"Uncle and aunt, uncle A Niang, eat quickly."

This meal was very enjoyable, and Qin Zhiyi wanted to entrust his elder brothers, so he took advantage of the meal to discuss with them.

"Big brother, second brother and third brother, right now is the harvest season for fruit. I remember we will have wild grapes, raspberries, and wild kiwis in the mountains behind us. I always have fruit wine in my store. If you have time, please help me collect some."

These seasons, the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother help her harvest, and they are all vegetables from the farm, as well as chickens, ducks, geese and eggs.

Anyone who owns a restaurant will have these things. Although Li Mancang's restaurant was temporarily closed because of eating bad food, it does not prevent the other restaurant from being open.

That restaurant has been open for ten years. Although it is not popular, it also has its own reputation.

And what she wants to do here is feature.

When Qin Daniu heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it, it's on us. We will accept all the fruits that can be eaten on the mountain and are suitable for making wine. This is the price. You will decide when the time comes, like raspberries. And grapes are common in the mountains, but there are not many ripe ones, and it is not easy to pick them. If wild kiwis are found, one tree can be picked."

Qin Zhiyi nodded, what the elder brother said made sense, she thought for a while and said: "Then those things are not exclusively collected, after all, even if they are wine, because the juice is small, if the quantity is small, there will not be much brewed, anyway, with them I have explained, these things are also collected, whoever wants to pick them up or picks them up if they encounter them.”

Qin Erniu nodded: "That's reasonable. My sister is in business after all. The cost is too high, and the things she makes will be expensive. Maybe not many people will drink them by then, so I'd better find something affordable."

She nodded: "So those things should be calculated as one penny per catty, brother and sister-in-law, all of you can take it."

The sisters-in-law also nodded at this time.

"In addition, I also need to collect some loaches and eels. At this time, you should be able to find these things in the fields, by the rivers, and by the streams."

"can!"

Qin Daniu said: "You don't know, we saw eels in the well before, but the well is too deep, so we have to use the hook used to catch eels."

"That's pretty good. If you can catch some, grab some, and if you can't catch some, take some. The more the better."

Having said that, she turned her attention to the dishes on the table: "Brothers and sisters-in-law, what do you think of the taste of these loaches and rice field eels?"

The sister-in-law picked up a piece of dry-stirred loach, chewed it and said, "It's really delicious. It's charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes crunchy, and it doesn't have too many fish bones. Once you bite into it, the bones come out, and the meat is also fresh and tender." .”

"Yes, yes, yes." Qin Erniu said: "I think this can also become a signature dish. When my sister sells it in restaurants, you can cut some chili slices into it and stir-fry together. I'm afraid it will taste even better."

The family was talking and laughing, but they decided to collect loaches, rice field eels and wild fruits.

When it was the last turn, Qin Zhiyi looked at the youngest Qin again.

The third elder brother is the most taciturn one. He has read a lot of poetry and books, but because of his scumbag father, he lost all his money. He has no money to go to Beijing to catch the exam, so he stays in the village as a teacher.

From Qin Zhiyi's point of view, this is no matter how talented he is.

So she said: "I know that my third brother's ambition has never been just to be a teacher. Why don't my third brother go to Beijing to catch the exam and fulfill his unfulfilled wish."

After hearing this, the youngest Qin raised his head slowly, and the chopsticks that were originally holding the vegetables also stopped at this moment.

His former ambition was indeed to gain fame, but before he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, his father gambled the money he had to go to Beijing to rush for the exam, and he never had the chance to take the imperial examination.

After that, he lost all thoughts and gave up the idea of ​​going into an official career, so when the village head suggested that he should teach the children to read in his spare time, he agreed.

It has been six full years since he became a teacher, and he has never mentioned a word about going to Beijing to rush for the exam.

It's not because he has given up on that idea, but because he feels that there is no hope for his life, his family has been poor for many years, and it is a problem to have enough food, so there is no talk of going to Beijing to catch up for the exam.

Thinking of this, he put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine in front of him and drank it down, smiled wryly and said: "It's been so many years, it's not easy to go to Beijing to catch the exam, besides, it doesn't mean that I will go to Beijing to catch the exam. Can pass the exam."

This was also what his father said back then, when he was crying because he lost the money to go to Beijing for the exam, Qin Zichang pointed at his forehead and scolded him.

Said that he is the most useless, even mentioned in the book, useless is a scholar, instead of reading those broken books, it is better to grow crops, find a way to get some money to honor your parents.

He even said that he didn't have the fate to be an official, even if he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, how could he compare to other people, and taking money to go to the capital was nothing but a waste of time.

Since then he has been in a slump.

But now, his sister has opened up his long-sealed wish.

It's just that things have changed.

"Who says you can't pass the exam."

Qin Zhiyi said again: "My brother was familiar with poetry at the age of three, he could compose poetry at the age of five, and he was already a well-known child prodigy in the village at the age of seven, but he never had the chance. Now that you and your parents have separated, your sister-in-law can also write poems." Take good care of your family, there are still a few months before the imperial examination, if brother starts now, I believe you will definitely be able to make a difference with your ability."

"Three-year-old is familiar with poetry and books..."

The youngest Qin murmured, it was like a dream.

After waking up from the dream, there is nothing left.

"Can I really do it?"

He looked at his hand, although he did not give up all these years, after all, it has been so many years, but he is also so old...

Looking at his wife and children sitting next to him, he couldn't even say a word.

"Sister, my sister is right, you can do it, I believe you."

Liu Zhaodi looked at him, her eyes full of encouragement: "The reason why I fell in love with you at the first sight was because I knew that my husband is not an ordinary farmer, and one day he will surely become famous. So what after so many years? I remember You once read poems and books and told me that Mr. Wolong was already very old when he became a teacher."

After all, living with the third brother, the third sister-in-law also has a smell of books when talking.

Aru also said crisply at this time: "I also believe in Daddy!"
