Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 305 Three years later

In the mid-April of Yangchun, the mountains and forests on the earth have experienced the severe winter cold and the washing of white snow. Under the gentle call of the spring breeze, they wake up lazily, and slowly bloom the greenery of spring, covering every corner of the world. The mischievous birds chirp and blare among the branches to vent their winter depression, which is very lively and gratifying.

The official road outside Kao City also became noisy with the coming of spring, and there were convoys passing by from time to time.There is a small thatched cottage on the side of the road less than five miles away from the city gate. In front of the house, a large pergola was built with wood and thick linoleum. There are two small stoves in the corner of the shed. Two large kettles are sitting there, humming Cheerful chirping.

A handsome boy came forward to bring hot water, made tea, and then poured it for seven or eight guests in the shed with a smile.

The guests included small merchants, farmers, craftsmen, and even a scholar. They all came here to spend a couple of fen, drink a cup of hot tea, rest their feet, and then drive into the city in one breath.

Among them, two middle-aged men with the appearance of merchants were obviously here for the first time, and seeing not many customers, they called the young man to come to him, rewarded him with a few pennies, and asked him to tell me what new things happened in Kao City. Or something good.The young man raised his head proudly, and said, "Guest officers, then you have to tell the young one what aspect you are specifically asking about. There are too many wonders and good things in our Kao City. If the young one is all Let me say it again, the two of you have to live here today."

What the boy said was interesting, and the other guests also laughed. Among them, the farmer mother and son echoed with a smile, "The second brother is right." Farmers have always been simple and honest, and there is something unclear in their nature. They are very shy and rarely like to interrupt when there are many people. Although the mother and son smile honestly, they are just like the boy, with high chests and a proud appearance.The two merchants looked at each other curiously.

Among them, the man in blue clothes clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Our brothers are from Tianjun City in the west. I heard that there are many profitable businesses here, so I made up a little money and came here. Brothers, if you are not busy, you can Tell us brothers about the things in this city, okay?"

The other person also said with a smile, "I've heard friends talk about Kao City before, but after my brother walked all the way, I realized that what my friend said was not true. Let's take the official road in front of us as an example. The bluestone pavement is really flat and clean. You can't see this in other cities."

When the 30-year-old farmer heard him mention the official road outside, he laughed and stole the talk from the boy, saying, "This brother asked about this road, and I know it better than anyone else. I have worked hard for a few days on this road."

As soon as the boy heard him talk about repairing the road, he smiled and turned back to continue boiling the water, giving him the conversation.

The farmer turned around and stretched out his hand to pull the thin quilt on the legs of the slightly pale old mother next to him, and then continued, "This road used to be the same as other cities. It was a gravel road, and it was in disrepair for a long time. Once it rains, there are mud puddles everywhere, and it is very difficult to walk. Two years ago, the new governor recruited corvees, together with Zeren from the People's Medical Center, it took half a month to build the neat appearance it is now. Not to mention the two brothers, it is very convenient for us to go to the city on weekdays, saving a lot of energy."

"What is Zeren from the medical center? Why are you building roads with the government?" the man in Tsing Yi asked.

As a result, it was the pale old mother who answered the call this time, "The old woman and my eldest son are both from the hospital. We farmers have never read any books, but we know how to repay kindness and be grateful to others." Thanks to the favor of the medical center, we are the benefactors of the medical center." The farmer also nodded in agreement.

The people in Tsing Yi were even more curious, "Where is this medical clinic? Is it a good medical skill?"

The little guy next to him couldn't bear to hear the mother and son talking slowly and unclearly, so he couldn't help interjecting, "The guests don't know, this medical center is called the People's Medical Center, and it's on the east side of our Kao City. These poor people do not charge consultation fees when they see a doctor, and they only charge the cost of medicine, and those who are poor and have no cash can still keep accounts, and finally use eggs, firewood or work to replace them. The most important thing is The doctors there are skilled in medicine, benevolent and benevolent. They never treat us poorly and dirty. Last year, a beggar broke his leg, which was cured by the medical center. Later, he also arranged a night watch job. .”

"Yes, yes," the farmer also rushed to talk, "My mother's cough was cured in the hospital. At that time, the family really couldn't afford the money, so they just remembered the bills, so when the road was built, I came to work for ten days and paid back the medicine money. However, in the past two years, I have planted new vegetables, and the family life is better, I can use cash money to see the doctor, we can't let Mrs. Xian spend too much money."

"That's not it, what the elder brother said is right. I heard people say that Mrs. Xian used to add a few hundred taels of silver to the medical center every month. It is because everyone's life has been better in the past two years that they add a little less." The little guy immediately agreed.

The brother of the man in Tsing Yi was a bit reckless, and said with some disdain, "The work of building the Qingshi Road is a laborious effort. It costs a hundred cash a day, and a tael of silver in ten days. The cost of this medicine is also expensive enough." .”

The farmer heard the sarcasm in his words, and immediately lowered his face, "This brother doesn't know the truth, so don't say that, let alone ten days of work, even a year's wages can't cover the cost of medicine. I My mother’s disease was also diagnosed at the medical center in the city, and the doctors couldn’t tell. Later, I heard from my neighbors that a new medical center opened in the east of the city, so I dragged my mother to go. Doctor Wang insisted on cutting a century-old one. Ginseng dispensed medicine for my old mother, and when I finally heard that I had no money, I only recorded a tael of silver. You must know that it is a hundred-year-old ginseng. Besides, when we were building roads, Mrs. Xian was afraid that we would not be full enough to hurt our health, so she brought dozens of carts of fine noodles over and gave us big white steamed buns and bone soup every day. I have never eaten so full in my life However, it is really fragrant. How can there be such a kind person in the world? If anyone speaks ill of Mrs. Xian, I, Wang Da, will be the first to stop him."

The man in Tsing Yi gave his brother a hard look, and quickly comforted the blushing and thick-necked Wang Da, "My brother is young, and he was often bullied by rich people when he was young, so it is inevitable that he has a bad temper. Brother Wang, don't mind." He said. After that, he quickly called the boy, "Bring another bowl of good tea to my brother, and treat it as my apology."

Wang Da hastily waved his hand and refused, "No, no, I'm also in a hurry."

The man in Tsing Yi laughed, and continued, "I heard that Mrs. Wang mentioned that Mrs. Immortal just now, but my younger brother remembered something. This Mrs. Immortal is the one who was conferred by the imperial court three years ago for trying to grow fragrant rice?"

"Of course." The boy was refilling his tea, happy that he could finally interject.

"Our fairy lady is a rare woman in the world. She doesn't just grow fragrant rice. The new vegetables such as eggplant, pepper, cucumber, etc. are also planted by the fairy lady first, and then passed on to us common people. Otherwise, everyone's life would be so good, there is also the Cixin Bridge in the south of the city, and the Mengxue in each village..."

"Also, this fairy lady is still a talented woman. She spread a new style of poetry and a new algorithm..." The scholar next to him who had been listening to everyone couldn't help but speak.

As soon as he started, the two small traders followed suit, "Now that there are more people coming and going to Kao City, it's much easier for our small businesses to do business."

Everyone glanced at me and said something, and the conversation became lively for a while.

The man in Tsing Yi and his brother didn't interrupt the crowd, they just sat aside and listened cheerfully, they were also newcomers, they didn't know anything, and they could hear a lot from everyone's words.

At this time, a group of four horses ran "tat-tat" in the distance, three of them were tall chestnut horses with black ink hooves and white nose bridges, and they were very handsome.The man in Tsing Yi let out a little gasp when he saw it. Tianjun City is considered a place where good horses can be found, but such good horses are not common there.I didn't expect to see them on the outskirts of Kao City far away from my hometown, and there were as many as three of them.His brother's eyes lit up too.

A group of people dismounted in front of the tea shed, and the young man dressed as a servant quickly tied the horse to the willow tree next to it.The three boys and girls in front entered the tea shed right away, and the people in Tsing Yi watched carefully because of the horses.The boy in front of him was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a tall figure and handsome eyebrows. His long black hair was tied in a silver crown, and he was wearing a royal blue cotton gown with exquisite cloud patterns embroidered on the corners and cuffs. A brocade purse and a jade pendant carved with goshawks are hung on the waist, with pine green locks.The color of the clothes looks like that of a young man from a rich family, but his brows have a calmness and sharpness beyond his age, which makes people not dare to look down on him just because of his age.

The girl who followed closely behind her was eleven or twelve years old. On her concubine-colored cotton dress, a very beautiful new lotus was embroidered with light yellow embroidery thread, which made her white jade-like face look less immature and more immature. A little coquettish.There are silver jewelry on her ears and hands. The only strange thing is that she has a square cloth bag slung across her waist, which is stuffed bulging.

The last boy was wearing a very happy cinnabar-colored shorts, a palm-wide black belt, thin eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, clear and lively eyes, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. It can be predicted that in a few years, He will definitely be a beautiful young man who will make all the women in the world admire and hurt their hearts.

The three of them sat down at an empty table, and the young man in sapphire blue said to the waiter, "Second brother, please bring us a pot of hot water. We have brought tea." Handed over ten Wen money.

Usually, a pot of rough tea costs only ten renminbi, but they don’t want tea, but they also give ten renminbi as long as they have hot water.
