Rebirth in another world is good for farming

Chapter 45 Studying

Memo and Dashun agreed to buy the leftover glutinous rice from his family, and Fulai followed him back to get wine.Zhang Xiaoliu made a bowl for him to try first, and Fulai really drank it full of praise.Because Xiaosong and Maimai are still young, although the alcohol concentration is not high, Zhang Xiaoliu doesn't want them to drink too much, so he only keeps a little at home, and packs the rest for Cao'er to take.

In front of Li's house, Lin Cao'er's second son, Li Guo, was playing with Xiao Liu.He saw Zhang Xiaoliu coming from a distance, hugged Xiao Liu and shouted into the room: "What, Brother Xiao Liu is here!"

Lin Cao'er in the room seemed to respond, and Zhang Xiaoliu had already walked to the door.Xiaoliu saw that he was still babbling and stretching out his hand as if to hug him, Zhang Xiaoliu was holding something in his hand, so he didn't dare to pick him up easily, so he had to free up a hand and squeeze his face lightly.

"Brother Xiaoliu, you are in the house." Li Guo grabbed his younger brother's hand and said to Zhang Xiaoliu.In the past, he was also quite a jumping kid, but recently he has settled down a lot.

"Where is Xiao Shi?" Zhang Xiaoliu looked around, but the other children were not at home.

"Brother and grandma went to do the laundry."

Zhang Xiaoliu nodded, and he took out the ten copper coins he had prepared from his pocket and handed them to him, saying, "Come on, do you remember the beans that you and Xiaoshi helped me pick that day? My brother has already exchanged them for things made of them." Money, these are for you and Xiaoshi."

At Li Guo's age, he still didn't know how to refuse. He was still dazed with the copper plate in his hand, but Zhang Xiaoliu had already entered.

"Cao'er, are you making clothes?" Lin Cao'er was sitting on the ponytail in the foyer, with a thick old dress on her lap.

"Yeah, some of Xiao Wu's clothes don't fit well. I'll let Xiao Liu wear them in winter." Lin Cao'er just finished changing a sleeve and bit off the thread.He saw that Zhang Xiaoliu was holding another wine jar in his hand, and hurriedly said, "What are you bringing here?"

"Didn't you say you were going to make wine a few days ago? Fortunately, Xiao Guo and Xiao Shi picked enough beans to brew a lot of wine. There is still a jar left here, which happened to be brought for you."

"Ah, I also heard that someone went to your house to buy wine at noon. I thought it was bragging!" Lin Cao'er hurriedly stood up, took the jar from his hand and put it on the ground, lifted the lid and smelled it, and then Said: "Your wine is really sweet, it smells like good wine!"

"I tasted it, and I think it tastes good. After listening to Cao'er, I feel more confident." Zhang Xiaoliu watched him go to the kitchen to get a bowl, poured out some, took a sip, and stopped drinking. Persuaded: "This wine is not strong, Cao Momomo has some more to try."

Lin Caoer said: "No, I have been dizzy since I was a child when I drank. I was not sensible when I was a child, and I drank half a bowl of Grandma's wine, and I didn't feel relieved for two days. Until now, I have to lie down when I drink. OK."

Zhang Xiaoliu didn't expect this, and thought for a while and said: "I have brewed a lot of wine this time, and I bought it for shopkeeper Huo. According to him, the wine made by Doumen is very good, and many people in the town They are willing to spend hundreds of Wen to buy such a small altar, just to make up for their health."

Lin Cao'er was really taken aback: "Such a small altar costs a hundred Wen?"

"I heard from shopkeeper Huo that it is going to be sold for ninety coins a jar!"

"What a silly boy, why didn't you sell it at such a good price?" Lin Cao'er stared, regretting taking the bite just now.

"Others are willing to spend money to buy it for drinking. Since it is for health, why can't we keep some for ourselves?" Zhang Xiaoliu asked rhetorically.

"Everyone in the town is rich in business, we are looking for food in the fields, how can we afford this money?" Lin Cao'er sighed.

"Now we don't spend money to buy it, what else is Cao'er reluctant to do?"

"Hey, you child, it's not good to develop such a spendable temperament. Now you only care about having a meal, but what will you do if you have children to support in the future?"

"Cao'er is thinking too far." Zhang Xiaoliu felt that he was already very cautious and conservative, but compared to Cao'er, it was obviously more serious.

"You're not here, so no one mentions you..." Lin Cao'er hesitated to speak.

Zhang Xiaoliu pondered for a while, then whispered: "Don't worry about Cao'er, I know it well. This time, it didn't cost much to make wine with beans, so I sold [-] jars, and only kept some left over."

"Really?" Lin Cao'er was pleasantly surprised. If a jar of wine is ninety cents, people will pay at least half of the price if they come to buy it. Thirty jars of wine are a lot of money.

"Why did I lie to you? You can keep this altar of wine. If you are afraid of getting dizzy, cook half a bowl before going to bed and crack an egg in it. After drinking it, you can go to bed without getting in the way." Zhang Xiaoliu just thought of this idea, It is not possible to boil a chicken, and it is also good to boil an egg.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try." Lin Cao'er agreed, but felt that there was nothing at home to give back to him, so she lowered her head and thought.

"By the way, this wine doesn't taste very strong. Don't let Uncle Li Sheng drink too much, or he might be able to drink it all at once!" .If the capacity for alcohol is good, such a jar might be able to drink it all at once.

"Understood, he won't argue with me about this." Lin Cao'er said with a smile.

"Then just remember to drink some every day. I'll go back first." After running around two houses, the sun was about to set, so Zhang Xiaoliu wanted to go home and help Mai Mai feed the chickens.

"Cao'er, come and take my hand." Just as she was speaking, Mammy Li's voice came from outside, and Lin Cao'er hurried out after hearing this.

"Grandma, where did you get so many vegetables?" Lin Cao'er went out and saw Li Nanny walking in, holding a large handful of bitter spring vegetables.

"I saw my old man and chatted for a while. His family is trimming the vegetable field and pulled out all the vegetables. Let me bring some back to pickle sauerkraut." Mother Li replied and motioned for him to come over with a vegetable basket, and said: "Have you heard that Zhao Datian's son's new brother is pregnant?"

"I've never heard of it. I haven't been to that side for the past few days!" Lin Cao'er said after neatly stacking the bitter spring vegetables in the basket.

"Ah, Brother Liu is here?" Li Nanny saw Zhang Xiaoliu standing beside her.

"Hello, Nanny Li." Zhang Xiaoliu hadn't heard anything about the Zhao family for a long time, and didn't pay much attention to the news of who was pregnant.

"Okay, we're leaving? Keep an eye on the road." Seeing that he was already standing by the door, Madam Li said, thinking that he had already finished talking.

"Understood." Zhang Xiaoliu responded and went home.

After he left, Nanny Li looked at the jar on the ground and said, "Brother Liu sent something over again?"

"Didn't he brew wine and leave us a jar?" Lin Cao'er replied.

"It's true that you collect things from a child all day long, and I heard that his wine can be sold for money!" Nanny Li complained, "You used to say that they were not doing well, why don't you remember now?"

"I can't say no to him. You know Liu Ge'er has a good mouth. He also said that children can't drink. This is specially reserved for outsiders so that they can't be sold."

"Oh, this child is really, he is willing to give you anything, and it's not in vain that you always talked about it." Li Nanny was talking about it, busy inside and outside the house.

Zhang Xiaoliu attached great importance to selling wine, and was ready to start work when Dashun delivered the glutinous rice.He went to Lin Cao'er's house today because he wanted to tell him that he would continue to make wine in the future. Firstly, this matter could not be concealed and there was no need to hide it. Secondly, the wine brewed by Madam Li was also famous in the village. Everyone took glutinous rice and asked him to help brew it.If shopkeeper Huo said twenty buckets of wine a month, he would definitely be too busy alone.If you want to find someone to help, the Li family is the best choice.Although the myrtle wine he brewed this time was very successful, he was always afraid that something would happen in the future, and it would be more reassuring to have an experienced person watching by him.

But now that the matter has not been settled, when he just wanted to say it, he felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry, and it would not be too late to mention it after the brewing was delivered to the shopkeeper Huo's house and the contract was signed.

Because it was just a sample sent for shopkeeper Huo to taste, and he had the first experience, Zhang Xiaoliu quickly steamed the glutinous rice and put it in a vat for fermentation.Although shopkeeper Huo didn't ask for more myrtle wine, he thought it tasted good, so he asked Mai Mai to pick some while the beans in the mountains were still fruitless, and decided to wait until the next time he went to the market to buy wine koji and brew it again.

"Mai, what are you doing?" It's only the second day, and the smell of wine in the room can't be smelled yet.Zhang Xiaoliu looked around, came out without finding anything unusual, and found that Mai Mai was squatting on the muddy ground in front of the house, gesticulating with branches.

"It's nothing." Seeing him suddenly appearing behind him, Mai Mai had a rare expression of panic, stood up and wiped the things on the ground with his feet.

Zhang Xiaoliu walked over to take a look, and was startled. There were two full rows of characters written on the ground. Although the structure was a little loose, the strokes were straight and very careful.

"You learned this from a book?" Knowing that Mai Mai had never read characters before, he asked again, "Do you know how to pronounce these characters?"

Wheat shook his head.

"Then how do you remember how to write so many characters?"

"Just make gestures." Mai Mai whispered.

"You want to learn characters so much, why didn't you tell me? I'll ask that gentleman tomorrow if he still accepts students." Zhang Xiaoliu rubbed his head, although he didn't know where his enthusiasm for studying came from, But now that he has money in hand, he is very willing to spend it.

"However, Shi Zhu said that only those who are under the age of six will be accepted. I am too old now." Mai Mai said sadly.

"You're only a year or two older, so what's the point? Besides, Shi Zhu didn't go to school, so he's not sure what to say." Zhang Xiaoliu, seeing his depressed expression, patted his hand to persuade him.Although six years old is a more suitable age for enlightenment, he does not believe that all children over six years old will be rejected.It's just the village gentleman, and to put it bluntly, it's also for Shu Xiu.There are not many people in the countryside who send their children to study, and they often feel that they are too young to be uncertain. On the contrary, they are willing to send their children to avoid wasting money.

"He said that's what he said. After six years old, you can't read well." Mai Mai kicked the pebbles on the ground. He was very happy when he heard his brother said that he could go to school, so he whispered to Shi Zhu. Unexpectedly, hearing what he said, I was depressed all afternoon.

Zhang Xiaoliu secretly laughed, this is most likely because Shi Zhu wanted to go to school, and the family couldn't come up with the excuse Shu Xiu made up, but Shi Zhu believed it was true, so he told Mai Mai.

"Don't worry, whether you are good at studying depends on whether you are diligent enough. I have never heard that it has something to do with age. Maybe it is Shizhu weaving to coax you. I will ask Mr. tomorrow and find out."

Only then did Mai nodded, showing a smile.
