Chapter 59 Zhuangzi's Journey ([-])

"Sister, it's really fun in this village." After looking around in the house and walking around in the garden, Wen Hao ran out happily.

"It's good that you like it too. We'll come over to play more during your ten-day break." Li Xin pulled Wen Hao to sit down, and took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.Wen Hao always likes to jump up and down, and when he plays like crazy, he will sweat all over his body.I used to be able to play around, but since I went to the academy, Wen Bo and Wen Hao don't have much time to play.

In fact, going to school in this era is really a hard and boring thing. It is hard because there are not many vacations. It takes nine days of classes to have one day off. There are various holidays, winter vacation and summer vacation.There are also holidays here, but very few, that is, the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other relatively large festivals will be off, that is, one day on the same day.As for the winter and summer vacations, there is no summer vacation here, and the so-called winter vacation will actually be released for everyone to go home for the New Year.This is the longest holiday of the year. The holiday starts after Laba, and the holiday will not be accepted until after the Lantern Festival.

It seems that there is a good difference between school holidays and official holidays. Officials also take a ten-day rest, that is, one day off every ten days, and go home to take a shower and tidy up.Then holidays are also holidays, but the holidays during the Chinese New Year are not so long.At the end of the year, it will be sealed, that is, the yamen will no longer do things.Then let it go for a short period of time, and at the beginning of the year, the office will be reopened.

It was not so easy to be an official in ancient times, and it must be even more difficult to be an official in the capital because there are various rules.It would be better if he served as a local official outside, and his own yamen was the master of the house, and there would always be more room for freedom.

"Okay! Then we will come to Zhuangzi to play during our breaks." Wen Hao echoed happily.

"Come on, let's go outside and have a look, and also our orchard."

"Let's go too." Wen Bo walked over with Yue Xiang and Yue Ting.

"Let's go together." Li Xin led them out.When he went out, he got into the carriage.The roads in Zhuangzi are well built, and almost all of them are connected by spacious roads, which is very convenient.He got into the carriage and went to the orchard. More than 30 mu of land occupies only a small piece of land in the whole village, but when you look closely, you will feel that the area of ​​the fruit forest is really large.

The orchard is located at the highest point in the entire Zhuangzi, which also belongs to the mountainous area.It originally belonged to a part of the mountain, but later I chose a more suitable area and planted fruit trees.There are many types of fruit trees, and almost all the types of fruit trees that can be found in these surrounding places have been planted.Walking in it feels that the area is even bigger, and you can't always walk to the end.

"There are so many fruit trees!" Wen Hao sighed as he walked, one year he said that one was a peach tree, but the next time he said this one was a pear tree.

"Yes! There will be endless fruits next year." Li Xin also likes to eat fruits. In her previous life, what she wished most was to have an orchard where she could always pick the freshest fruits to eat.However, it has never been realized. I didn't expect to buy such a large piece at once when I came here.She has always wanted to plant some fruit trees, and she also wanted to buy a large area of ​​mountain land to plant fruit trees!I didn't expect that after buying this village, there would be dozens of acres of orchards inside, and these fruit trees were all very large. It was time to start production, and I would definitely be able to harvest a lot of fruit next year.

When she bought this Zhuangzi, this orchard was also in her consideration. The main reason is that there are about one mu of pineapples planted beside the orchard!That was her favorite food.

"Sister, when the fruit is ripe, I will come pick it myself, and save some for me!"

"Okay, I'll let you pick it yourself."

Walking along the way, Li Xin found that this orchard was really well managed. After the fruit was harvested, the branches were also pruned, and the small branches that bore fruit had been pruned off.The overly dense areas have also been pruned, the branches are sparse and ventilated, and the sunshine in this area is also very good, which shows that next year's production will not be low.

The people in Zheng Xing's Zhuangzi are really good at farming, and they are also good at managing orchards, so there is no need to hire new people.

"There are so many trees, the second brother will definitely not be able to pick them all." Yuexiang also said with a smile.

"We all pick it together, and we will definitely finish it. We ate some, and sold the rest in a carriage." Wen Hao said seriously.In rural areas, many of the things produced at home are reluctant to eat more. Generally, the family can eat a little bit, and the rest must be sold to subsidize the family.For example, eggs, fruits, etc., the children in the family can't eat very much, at most they can taste the taste.

"Okay, we'll sell the rest, and we'll sell them on the street." Li Xin also smiled happily.After coming here, all the things at home were sold to Pinxiang Pavilion, and she really never went to the street to sell them.However, I am afraid that the fruit will be sold by myself, and the Pinxiang Pavilion will make a fruit plate, so the amount used should not be much.

"I want to sell too." Yue Ting also laughed and acted like a baby with Li Xin.

After walking around in the orchard, Li Xin took Wenbo and the others out.There was a burst of cooking smoke in the village, and it was time to prepare lunch.When we got back to the house, lunch was ready, and Mrs. Wang was waiting at the side. Seeing that Li Xin and the others had returned, she asked people to set the meal.Although Li Xin didn't want to make it rich, the lunch was quite rich, with three meat and four vegetables, two cold dishes, and one soup, the table was still full.

"Why is Mrs. Wang still making it so rich?"

"It's rare for the ladies and gentlemen to come here, so it's natural to make it richer. It's the first time for the two gentlemen to come here! Come and taste the food on our Zhuangzi. Thanks to the ladies and gentlemen, everyone in the Zhuangzi also joined us today. The dishes are richer than usual."

"That's good, and we should add food to everyone."

After lunch, Li Xin left Mrs. Wang behind.Telling Mrs. Wang about the treatment she re-determined for everyone in the village, and leaving some money behind, she took Wenbo and the others away.Although Wang Fu is in charge of the Zhuangzi, but the matter of money is in charge of Mrs. Wang.Sister-in-law Wang can read some words, can keep accounts by herself, and is more careful.
