Chapter Name: Chapter Seventy-Eight: Mr. Xu's Appearance

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Mr. Xu's Appearance

Fortunately, whether it was the Yang brothers or Lin Xu, they didn't let her wait too long, and after a surprise, only Yang Shuyong wanted to continue to ask, but Yang Shumeng stretched out his hand to hold her. Among these people, Yang Shumeng's performance made Qiu Chen particularly satisfied. It can be said that Yang Shumeng likes to value steamed wine Jishu more than her, and in this case, he can still restrain his surprise and heartache...... It's not easy to do.

Qiu Chen poured three cups of tea, handed them to the three of them, and said with a slight smile: "You don't have to feel too distressed, we offer the craft of steaming wine, but it doesn't mean that we can't do it ourselves, it's just that it may take a while to launch a product to sell." Hehe, it's just that we're going to do aging, isn't it, and now we can still steam it, steam it out, and save it...... Of course, we can't put it for ten or twenty years, three years, three years, and after three years, our wine will be completed, and then it will be just right to launch it! ”

Yang Shuyong frowned tightly, and said hurriedly: "Begonia, you don't know, if you let the steamed wine sell the name, let's launch it again, I'm afraid no one will buy it!" ”

"Big brother, don't worry." Qiu Chen comforted Yang Shuyong, and then said, "Big brother, second brother, second brother, you say, do you make money by steaming wine?" ”

"Of course it's making money!" Yang Shuyong replied immediately. Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu also nodded at the same time.

Qiu Chen also nodded: "I also know that steaming wine makes money, and it can make a lot of money." But the point is also here...... We all know that we can make a lot of money, but others don't know? Don't those high-ranking officials and dignitaries know? ”

After a pause, giving the three of them a time to think, Qiu Chen said again: "You say, they know that our family has this skill to make a lot of money, will they not be blushing?" Look at the two of us again, whether it is the Yang family or the Lin family, they are all ordinary people, and there are no shili people to support us, so can our two families keep this craft? ”

"You may also say that the craft of steaming wine cannot be preserved, and the technology of pharmaceuticals cannot be preserved either? That's why I'm going to dedicate my craft to steaming. Before, I never said who our pharmaceutical sold to, no, it's not Rejuvenation Hall, I said yes, I want to use so many healing medicine buyers......" Seeing Lin Xu show a touch of surprise for the first time, Qiu Chen was secretly happy, maybe Lin Xu was not as calm and calm as Yang Shumeng, but after reading the book, his vision was obviously higher than that of the Yang brothers, and his thinking was also broad.

Qiu Chen nodded at Lin Xu and said with a smile: "Who needs so much trauma medicine...... Naturally, it is a great army! We are directly supplying medicine to the army of pharmaceuticals. And I also want to dedicate the steaming method to the army, and the army itself can't steam the wine, so this method will inevitably be sent to the imperial court, and the imperial court will arrange craftsmen to steam the wine for the wounded of the army! In other words, our steaming method is dedicated to the imperial court! Once we can leave a name in the court, we don't have to be afraid of someone robbing our things! ”

In order to appease the emotions of his family, and for the sake of family harmony and unity, Qiu Chen can say everything bluntly tonight. Speaking of this step, not to mention Lin Xu and Yang Shumeng, even Yang Shuyong showed a look of realization, and then, looking at Qiu Chen again, his eyes inevitably brought some surprise.

He doesn't have a bad heart, but he is too simple, and being honest when driving a car is a strength, but when it comes to this kind of big event, it is obviously not enough.

Seeing that several people understood the reason for what she was doing, Qiu Chen also showed a heartfelt smile: "Big brother, second brother, second brother, you don't have to feel distressed about such a steaming method." As long as we can ensure that no one dares to do it, we still have a way to make money! ”

The three of them all survived the hard days, and their eyes lit up at the mention of making money, and they looked at Qiu Chen in unison, revealing a sense of urging.

Qiu Chen jumped off the kang, took out a rectangular object wrapped in raw-edged paper from the box in the corner of the house, and put it on the kang table with a smile.

Yang Shu glanced at Qiu Chen, reached out and picked it up and opened the rough-edged paper, and after seeing the things inside, he showed a touch of surprise, but he frowned thoughtfully, and didn't say anything.

This Yang Shuyong knows, when Zhou left, Qiu Chen also brought a few pieces, saying that it was called soap, washing clothes and washing hands, it seems that I have heard Zhou and his brother and daughter-in-law nag a few times, saying that it is very easy to use, and the mud is also oiled......

"Begonia, you mean to do this to sell?" Yang Shuyong asked excitedly.

Qiu Chen gave a thumbs up in praise and nodded: "It's still the eldest brother who is amazing, and he guessed right at once!" ”

Yang Shuyong scratched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "The eldest brother knows that he is stupid, so he is not as good as you and the second brother." However, the eldest brother has the strength, what to do, sister, just say it, and the eldest brother will do it! ”

"Big brother, you can't just think about it and don't worry about it." Qiu Chen leaned forward to Yang Shuyong with a smile, and said with a smile, "Don't look at it, it's just a piece of washing hands and clothes, it's very inconspicuous, but the profit is much more than steaming wine." The important thing is that if it is inconspicuous, it is not easy to attract the attention and blush of others. Hehe, what we have to do is make a fortune in silence! ”

As soon as Qiu Chen said this, even Lin Xu laughed, and Yang Shumeng also stretched his brows, and said with a smile: "Sister, just tell me how to do it!" ”

"Well, we started making this kind of soap, it's easy to make, it's cheap, I've calculated, the cost of such a piece of soap is about six or seven cents. When we sell, the price doesn't have to be too high, 20 yuan a piece. One piece earns more than a dozen dollars. When the soap is sold, we can also make it for large families to bring fragrance, and we can also make things for us to wash our hands, which are used to wash our hands, wash our hair, and even bathe...... Come to think of it, this wash is much cleaner than soap beans, and it will leave a fragrance after washing...... Those big families aren't all rushing to buy ......"

"Uh-huh, that's what happened!" Yang Shuyong's face lit up when he heard this, and he nodded yes again and again. Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu also agreed again and again.

So, Qiu Chen realized that this family meeting was crooked, and it was crooked 108,000 miles away, which was really embarrassing!

Nodding with a smile, Qiu Chen didn't disturb the interest of several people, and listened to it with a smile. After talking about two more teas, Yang Shuyong, Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu finished looking forward to the bright prospects of making soap.

Qiu Chen said with a smile: "It's almost the same thing that should be said, it's late, and the two elder brothers and the second brother have also worked hard for a day, so let's go wash and rest early!" ”

Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng both smiled and scratched their heads, wanting to follow.

Lin Xu fell behind, and after a while, he said, "Sister-in-law, let's offer a prescription...... I don't know how to arrange it for my sister-in-law? How to give? Let our family offer it ourselves, or let people take it? ”

Qiu Chen didn't expect Lin Xu to be able to think of so much in such a short period of time, and after being slightly stunned, he showed a relieved smile.

"Second brother, there are still a few months to dedicate the prescription, let's discuss it again...... However, these days, you don't want to be distracted and read and attend classes with peace of mind. Well, I'll ask you more carefully and then I'll agree with you on how to do it! ”

Although Lin Xu himself thought of the way to offer a prescription, he was not sure, after all, there were some things that he had only read one or two sentences from the books, and he had not personally experienced it, he did not understand the actual situation, and he was not sure. Thinking about it, the sister-in-law is similar.

Therefore, although Lin Xu didn't get an answer, he didn't hesitate, quit Qiu Chen, and went back to his room.

Lin Xu went out, and Junzhang Junyan led Ah Fu very much and came back with Ah Man in his arms. Aman's little girl had already dozed off Junzhang's shoulder, and her head was little by little, like a little kowtow worm.

Qiu Chen smiled, hurriedly stepped forward to take Aman over, tore the quilt open, took off the coat and pants for the little girl and stuffed it into the quilt, and went to bring half a basin of warm water, washed the cloth towel, wiped the little girl's hands, face and feet, and stuffed it into the quilt.

Shaking his head with a smile, Qiu Chen beckoned the three leather boys, went to the outhouse to wash his hands, faces and feet, climbed onto the kang in one go, and pulled down the quilt by himself. Jun Yanpi hugged the pillow and went to ram Junzhang, but he didn't expect to be attacked by Ah Fu behind...... For a while, the three boys made a mess.

Qiu Chen walked over and slapped one on the buttocks, and the three boys grinned and drilled into the bed.

After a low threat, Qiu Chen took his change of clothes and went to the backyard to wash.

There was nothing to say all night, and after breakfast on the second day, Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng took Erkui to the town to pull the medicine, and Liu Zhanfeng took Da Zhuang and Junwen brothers to continue planting trees.

Qiu Chen took advantage of this opportunity to bring a few rolls of cotton thread and a pair of bamboo needles to Erkui's house.

After briefly explaining the basic knitting stitches and buckle skills, Qiu Chen had nothing to talk about.

Although the Erkui family thought this bamboo needle weaving was very strange, they studied very seriously, and they got started, and after a while, they started buttoning, and their fingers flew to weave half a glove. It's time to knit your fingers. Qiu Chen didn't know how to score the needle, so the Erkui family had to stop and ponder for himself.

As soon as Qiu Chen saw that there was nothing to do with him, he said goodbye and went home.

She remembered one thing, most of the water in the pond is now put in the pond, and now the water depth is more than one meter, especially near the pond bank of the Lin family, because of the bluestone, the pond bank is steep and straight, and the water is also extraordinarily deep. The edge of the pond is not covered and blocked, if the children accidentally fall down, it is not like an ordinary river pond at all, and there is a shallow water buffer at the edge, which is really dangerous!

She had to hurry back and talk to Lao He, trying to figure out a protective measure.

Stone carved railings, wooden railings, labor-intensive, time-consuming and costly, she can't think about it temporarily. Be a fence shogun? Or use hemp rope to plant a small tree on the shore and pull a rope net?

Talking to Lao He, Lao He smiled: "It's not difficult, just cut some thin bamboo and weave a fence for us." However, there are no bamboo forests here...... Buying some thin bamboo poles must not cost a few bucks! ”

Qiu Chen was still a little uneasy when he heard this: "Is it firm?" ”

Lao He said with a smile: "Don't worry, the bamboo is tough, and the thumb thick bamboo pole is woven into a fence, and it is not easy for adults to break it, and children are naturally safe!" ”

Qiu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "When the car comes back, I will arrange for someone to buy bamboo!" ”

After speaking, he didn't forget to tell Lao He: "Brother He, before the bamboo fence is erected, Brother Lao should watch it, and don't let the children get close to the shore." ”

Lao He responded with a full mouth.

There wasn't much left of planting saplings yesterday, and they were planted in half the morning.

Near noon, Yang Shuyong and the three returned with three truckloads of medicinal materials, and the big guys were busy unloading the car and entering the warehouse for a while, and after lunch, they started another batch of medicine production.

Qiu Chen paid attention to it, and on the steaming side, Chengzi and Yuxiang were enough, so he pulled Da Zhuang out and asked Junwen to take him to learn the spinning pills.

Erkui didn't need to crush the medicinal herbs when he got out of the car, and the crushing speed increased a lot.

Qiu Chen taught Junshu several kinds of medicinal materials to fry, and later, in the morning, Junwen Junshu temporarily made the fried medicine, and after crushing out the insurance powder, he was rotated by Da Zhuang to make pills. In this way, a pharmaceutical process with an orderly division of labor is almost formed. And it can run the process by itself, so Qiu Chen doesn't need to do it himself.

In the afternoon, Yang Shuyong drove to the town again to buy bamboo poles to build bamboo fences on the pond bank, and Qiu Chen took Yang Shumeng to make a round of soap in the front yard.

This time, Qiu Chen made a mask in advance and put it on himself and Yang Shumeng. After making a pot and letting it cool, she watched Yang Shumeng try to make a second pot of soap, and thought that it was time to make a set of work clothes and protective equipment for the helpers.

In view of the conditions, Qiu Chen could think of a set of work clothes, a pair of gloves, a mask and an isolation hat. On the one hand, it is for the personal protection of workers, and it can also further ensure the hygiene and cleanliness of the medicines made.

After straightening it out, the days are busy and fulfilling.

Lin Zi and Brother Quan fished and suffered a cold, the illness was menacing at that time, it was very scary, but the cold did not really enter, and let Qiu Chen take a fierce medicine to disperse it completely in the extreme time, and the two boys were also strong, and the fever subsided when they sweated that day, and they didn't repeat it after returning home, but after resting for two days, they were led by their father and mother and sent to Lin's house to resume work.

Lin Zi and Brother Quan naturally obediently admitted their mistakes and promised not to mess around again; Liu Manyin also made a special trip to bring Ji over to apologize, Qiu Chen didn't think too much, but he also remembered that some people are only suitable for ordinary interactions, and are not suitable for deep friendship.

Lin Zi and Brother Quan returned to work and joined the intense pharmaceutical work.

On this day, Qiu Chen went to the backyard for a turn, and saw Chengzi and Yuxiang put up the steaming device and began to steam the wine, Liu Zhanxiang took Brother Quan and Lin Zi to be busy crushing medicinal materials, and Lan Ying took the Qingshan family and Qinghe's family to pack Luo Buma. Qiu Chen beckoned Junyan Junzhang and a group of children to return to the front yard together, writing and reading. However, it was several children of the Lin family who read and wrote, and the other children played inside and outside the gate of the Lin family.

Qiu Chen knows her own family affairs, because she has read and studied ancient medical herbs and ancient prescriptions, she has no problem recognizing and reading traditional characters, and she also understands the professional content. But when it comes to the Four Books and Five Classics for scientific research, she really understands the limitations. Even if she knew that, it was mostly explained in a modern way of understanding, which was contrary to this era, and if she talked nonsense, it would be better not to teach the child. Therefore, she only took the children to read and write, read some simple poems, and did not tell the scriptures or anything like that.

In this case, she didn't take the initiative to send food to other people's children. To put it bluntly, Qiu Chen's way of thinking still retains modern inertia - it is okay to simply help individuals for personal pleasure, but not to interfere too much in other people's affairs.

Several children of the Lin family already have a good posture of holding a pen and writing, Junwen Junshu is older and learns needless to say, even his hands are not flexible enough, less than two years old, Aman, also holds a small brush, pouting and writing seriously stroke by stroke.

Seeing the children of the Lin family reading and writing, a group of children such as bolts, Ganoderma lucidum, Shanzi, stones, and Erhu would gather at the door every time, looking at them with envy and loss. Qiu Chen was so busy that he didn't notice it on weekdays, but seeing this situation with his own eyes at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

She really couldn't ignore the envious and eager eyes of the children, considering that most of the parents of these children were working at home, and the relationship was good, there was almost no hesitation, Qiu Chen raised his hand and beckoned a few children: "Bolt, Shanzi, you all come here." ”

Bolt Shanzi grew up in the Lin family almost every day on weekdays, and naturally he was very close to Qiu Chen, and when he heard Qiu Chen greet him, he immediately ran to Qiu Chen, one by one, some called aunt, and some called aunt, all looking at her with bright eyes.

Qiu Chen raised his hand and touched the mountains and stones near him, and asked with a smile, "Do you also want to be literate?" ”

The stone was not ambiguous at all, and immediately nodded his little head and replied, "Yes." I still want to write like Afogo! ”

Although Xiao Shi is more than four months older than Aman, he is a little silly on weekdays, and Qiu Chen didn't expect that this would be the first time he would answer like this, and he was slightly stunned, and he was inevitably a little ashamed in his heart. Children are natural and innocent, they will not hide or fake, and in the face of such an innocent and flawless child, she will inevitably be a little self-righteous and discriminatory, or judge a child by the eyes of the world, which really shouldn't be!

His mind was racing, and Qiu Chen had already regained his gentle smile.

She reached out and took the stone into her arms, took out a handkerchief and wiped a little ash stain on the stone, approached the child and smiled: "The stone also wants to read and write like Brother Afu, right?" Is it okay for Aunt Begonia to teach you? ”

The stone blinked his dark eyes, frowned slightly, and subconsciously put his fingers in his mouth. Qiu Chen took his finger off and said with a smile: "That stone told Aunt Haitang, what do you need to use for writing?" ”

Stone blinked his eyes, "Paper, pen!" ”

As the stone said, Qiu Chen took a stone from the table and put it in front of the stone, the paper and pen were brought over, Qiu Chen took the pen and crossed it on the paper, looked at the white paper without a trace, Qiu Chen smiled again: "Well, the paper is also there, and the pen is also there, but why can't you write words?" ”

Shi Xiaohei's face turned red all of a sudden, he lowered his head deeply, twisted his two little hands, shook his little body and said in a low voice: "I still want to ...... Ink! ”

Qiu Chen made a sudden appearance: "Oh, you still need ink!" With that, Qiu Chen picked up the stone, let him sit on his left lap, and then dipped the pen in ink, and on the white paper in front of him, he wrote two words neatly - stone!

To tell the truth, Qiu Chen's characters are very ordinary, after all, as a modern person who is accustomed to computer printers, there are very few opportunities to write with a pen, Qiu Chen can pick up a brush to write, or because the primary school Chinese teacher requires two large characters to be handed over every day, so as not to be unpopular. But at best, it's just neat, and you can't talk about anything about style and charm.

However, Qiu Chen felt that it would be enough to teach children literacy one stroke at a time!

She took the little stone hand and taught him to stretch out her index finger and point two words, and read: "Stone - head!" ”

The little face of the stone had just blushed and not retreated, and when he saw these two words, his little face added another layer of excitement, blinking his eyes, looking at his fingers pointing at the two words, and also stumbling and reading: "Shi--head--"

After reading it, he turned his little face to look at Qiu Chen and said excitedly: "Aunt Begonia, this is my name - Stone!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled suddenly, nodded and said, "Mmmm, yes, the stone is so smart." Come, learn these two words today, and go back and write them to your parents, okay? ”

The stone's excited little face lit up, and he nodded his head vigorously like a kowtow worm, and promised again and again.

Qiu Chen held his little hand, and wrote two words on the paper one by one. After writing four or five times in a row, Qiu Chen let go of the stone's little hand and smiled and encouraged him to write by himself. Stone excitedly held the brush and wrote his name. It's a pity that he was obedient to the brush just now, but without Qiu Chen's support at this time, he became very disobedient. Trembling and trembling, I finally finished writing...... Qiu Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that the stone was not written wrong, and the word 'stone' was written completely - although the writing was out of proportion, horizontal and vertical, but this was already very, very good for the first two-year-old child to pick up the pen!

"That's amazing! The stone is so powerful, I got it right the first time! Qiu Chen gave a thumbs up in time and gave the stone a somewhat exaggerated compliment.

It is common for children in the village to hear reprimands, scolding, and being naughty and beaten on weekdays, but it is very rare to praise Qiu Chen like this, or not at all. For the children who rarely received praise, Qiu Chen's praise made Shi suddenly feel sweeter than eating candy, and several other children also showed envy and expectation on their faces, wishing that it was themselves who were praised at this time.

The little stone hand trembled a little and touched the paper that was almost full of words, and then carefully picked up the paper and looked at Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to show the stone to your father and mother?" ”

The stone nodded vigorously, Qiu Chen smiled suddenly, and touched the head of the stone, "Go!" Go to the backyard for your dad to see, and then take it home to show your mother! ”

"Whoa!" Shi crisply agreed, holding the piece of paper in his two small hands, hurriedly ran a few steps, stopped suddenly, turned around and bowed to Qiu Chen, which was regarded as thanking.

Qiu Chen smiled with some emotion, his eyes were astringent, and he raised his hand and said, "Go ahead!" ”

Then the stone ran to the backyard with the paper in his hand. Qiu Chen saw him stumbling and stumbling, so he hurriedly said, "Run slower, don't stumble!" ”

But by the time she finished speaking, the small figure of the stone had already gone around the corner of the house and disappeared, and I didn't know if I heard it or not.

With the stone example, the enthusiasm for learning to read and write was also unprecedentedly high, and when they saw Qiu Chen turn around, they crowded to him, vying for Qiu Chen to teach him to read and write.

Qiu Chen was not ambiguous, and when he gave an order, several children were in a mess for a while, so they each ran to find a small stool, sat next to Qiu Chen, and learned to read and write.

That night, several children were praised by their parents' families without exception, and their little faces were red with excitement, and they didn't fade all night, but they were afraid that they would wake up laughing from their dreams at night!

Since then, these children no longer always talk about how to be naughty, they remember a little bit every day, and when the time comes, they all come to learn to read and write. Sometimes Qiu Chen was not busy with the work in his hands, so they obediently went to find a small bench and a set of paper and pens by themselves, and sat down at the low table in the courtyard and waited.

Lan Ying and the Qingshan family thanked Qiu Chen several times, saying that Qiu Chen had a way to put a few leather boys on the hedge, and they were so well-behaved that they couldn't do it when they saw people, and they knew how to salute when they saw people, and they understood the rules. Several of them also offered to give the child paper and pen money, but Qiu Chen refused.

Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are very expensive for ordinary villagers, but now a few sets of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are nothing to Qiu Chen. Moreover, the children use a few pieces of rough-edged paper, the brush is only one per person, and the ink is an inkstone shared by several children, all of which are polished in advance and placed in the middle of the table for a large group of children, and it doesn't cost much.

These children are very thrifty, and I don't know if they are learning from Lin Xu, they will use it several times to practice calligraphy, the first time they use light ink, and gradually increase the intensity of the ink, almost every piece of paper can be used three times, and Qiu Chen is very relieved and a little sad.

However, after four or five days, a few children picked up the brush and already looked good, although the writing was not very good, but the proportion of the structure was much better than when the words were almost impossible to see at the beginning. Less, the horizontal and vertical skimming are all brought together, and the shape of the word can be seen gradually.

In the afternoon of this day, Qiu Chen took a few children to read and write in the yard. After Qiu Chen taught it a few times, the children pouted one by one and practiced practicing with the pen very seriously.

Originally, I bought a rough edge paper for children to practice calligraphy, but after writing with light ink a few times, it will become wrinkled several times later, and the children press the paper with a small hand and write with a pen in one hand, and they feel hard to look at. She began to wonder what to find a substitute for paper for the children to practice calligraphy.

In modern times, I have heard that paper is specially used for practicing calligraphy and can be reused many times. It's just that it is impossible to imagine, so Qiu Chen dug out a kind of 'slate' for practicing calligraphy from the depths of his memory, which can be practiced with a brush dipped in water, although it can't be completely equivalent to practicing words on paper, but it is much better than children working so crumpled uneven paper.

It's just that the memory of the 'slate' in her brain is too long, and there is no information such as the material, only the impression remembers that the surface of the slate is not too smooth, but has a frosted feeling, and she is not sure if the slate can be made into that kind of thin and flat slate in this era without electric calcite tools. Because it is too heavy, it may be possible to write, but it is inconvenient for children to move.

I thought to myself, let's go to the quarry and ask to see if I can make it.

After pondering the writing tools, Qiu Chen looked at the children who were reading and writing seriously, especially Junyan Junzhang, as well as Junshu Junwen, who had been busy with Junshu and Junwen, Qiu Chen's idea of asking Mr. came up again.

It's okay to teach children to read and write, although it is traditional characters, Qiu Chen can basically recognize them. But those who are so good haven't punctuated the classical Chinese yet, and Qiu Chen himself can't read some places, so he can't tell the children about it at all. The impact of the beginning of literacy is not large, but over time, it will inevitably affect children's learning progress and grades.

Thinking wildly in her heart, Qiu Chen went to the backyard again, watching everyone work in a busy and orderly manner, and there was time to talk and laugh a few times, but it was also lively and harmonious, and she also turned back to the front yard.

On a few low tables, the handsome man and the handsome Afu Aman were still writing seriously, and the stone was also holding a brush and writing laboriously. Somehow Pi Zhuzi and Shanzi ran to the fence of the vegetable garden, squatting there muttering something, and Erhu and Jieshi were comparing their own handwriting...... Qiu Chen didn't feel surprised by these, what surprised her was that she was a little girl of Lingzhi, who didn't write and read, nor played with her friends, but squatted under the east wall, with her little body facing away from Qiu Chen, not knowing what she was doing?

Could it be that the leather boy made Lingzhi cry?

Qiu Chen was puzzled in his heart, and walked lightly towards Lingzhi. It's just that Lingzhi doesn't know if it's because he lost his mother since he was a child and lacks his father's love, he is particularly delicate and sensitive, so he slowed down his steps, but when he was two or three steps away from the little girl, Lingzhi was still so startled that he jumped up, and before Qiu Chen reacted, he hurriedly rubbed off what was written on the ground with his feet.

A four-year-old child was so guarded, which greatly surprised Qiu Chen, and it was also intuitively disliked.

Stunned, Qiu Chen adjusted his mood and expression, and asked with a smile, "Lingzhi, are you writing?" ”

Lingzhi blinked at Qiu Chen with a pair of wet and slightly timid eyes, and after a moment, he nodded lightly.

Qiu Chen exhaled secretly, and gave an explanation of himself in his heart, thinking that the little girl was afraid that she would be laughed at for not writing well, so she hurriedly erased her writing!

Raising his hand to wipe the pigtail of Lingzhi, Qiu Chen smiled: "Didn't Aunt Begonia send you a piece of paper, Lingzhi weishenme wants to write on the ground?" Is it running out of paper? ”

Lingzhi shook his head with wide eyes behind his back, shaking his two small braids for a while, but he didn't speak.

Qiu Chen didn't force her, and he didn't ask anymore, he only touched the top of the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "It's okay to write on the paper on the Lingzhi ground, but remember to wash your hands after writing on the ground!" ”

Lingzhi nodded, threw away a branch in his hand, and hurried to the children.

Qiu Chen looked at the skinny back of the little girl, shook his head, and sighed softly...... Suddenly, her heart moved, and she suddenly turned her gaze back to stare at the already blurred handwriting on the ground...... She remembered that in addition to the stone slab, there was also a simple and reusable calligraphy tool - a lacquered wood board!

In fact, it is a thin rectangular wooden board, the surface is planed smooth, and then painted with lacquer, and the lacquer surface of the wooden board becomes shiny and smooth. Take a brush dipped in water so that you can practice writing on a lacquered wooden board, and when the water stains are dry or wiped off, you can reuse them over and over again.

Although lacquered wood boards cannot completely replace paper, they can be used by children to learn to write.

Because the little girl of Lingzhi reminded Qiu Chen of a tool to practice calligraphy instead of paper, she didn't notice that the handwriting on the ground was blurred, and she went to the pond to find Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng. After a period of understanding, Qiu Chen continued to discover the talents of the two elder brothers, and simple carpentry work was one of them. It doesn't take too much skill to make lacquered wood boards, it is enough to find the Yang brothers.

While walking out, I was still thinking about asking Mr. ...... Mr. is not easy to find, or let Lin Xu ask Mr. Xu, can you let Junyan Junzhang go to the school? Junwen Junshu can also spare half a day to go to the school to follow the class, and then go home to help out in the remaining half a day.

That night, the Yang brothers lived up to their expectations and made a simple tool for practicing calligraphy - lacquered wooden boards! Qiu Chen also told Lin Xu about the Junwen brothers' school, and asked him to ask Mr. Xu when he went to the school tomorrow.

Several children happily wrote and painted on the lacquered wooden board with a brush, and the lacquered wooden board could be reused without restrictions, so that the children could save paper constraints, and they could write and draw at will, and the little faces of several children were excited.

Qiu Chen was not like other women, who did needlework, so he made tea and talked softly with the two elder brothers. Their brothers and sisters spoke very casually, talking about the Yang family's shop in the neighborhood, talking about their childhood when they were children, talking about their parents, these days, Qiu Chen will ask some Yang brothers from time to time when they went out in the car, they have been to places, and the unique customs and interesting things of people from all over the world...... In these small talks, Qiu Chen gradually learned that many questions were not answered in the book.

For example, Qinghe County, to which Yangjiapuzi belongs, and Anping County, to which Liujiaao belongs, both belong to Anyang Prefecture, which in turn belongs to Zhili Province and is located at the junction of Zhili, Shandong and Henan Provinces. Qiu Chen corresponds to modern regional planning, and her place is probably Handan City, Hebei Province. The big mountain behind Liujiaao should be the Taihang Mountains.

Gradually, the geographical location became clear in Qiu Chen's mind.

Anping County is not as far from the northern border as she imagined before, nor is it as close as the 'three hundred miles' that she heard from Hong Zhanpeng's mouth later, and it is less than eight hundred miles to reach the territory of the Rong people. However, due to the continuous fighting at the border pass, a large area on the border is sparsely populated, and it is more than 100 miles away from Huairong, an important border town near Anping County, and about 600 miles away from Anping County.

In addition, Qiu Chen also learned from Yang Shuyong's mouth that long-distance merchants could not enter the city as fast as they did, firstly, the rouge was much faster than ordinary horses, and after loading, the speed of the car was naturally slow, and it could walk eighty miles a day, even if it was very good. In case of heavy rain, heavy snow, strong wind, etc., you can only stop in one place and wait, and wait for the bad weather to pass before resuming the journey. In this way, it will take ten days to set off from Qinghe Town to Huairong Town, plus the handover after arrival, it will take almost a month to go back and forth!

It's the beginning of April, and if you leave in ten days, when you return, it's going to be mid-May. Fortunately, the fifth lunar month is not too hot, and it is not yet the rainy season......

After she made an agreement with Liao Wenqing, half a month passed in the blink of an eye, which is not a long time, but she can do many things.

The Yang brothers went to the county to buy dozens of jars of liquor, which had been distilled and made into alcohol, and had been sealed in wax. A full 600 jars of healing medicine have also been made, because the proficiency has improved, the division of labor is reasonable, and the speed is much faster than the first batch.

After the steaming wine stopped, Yuxiang and Chengzi added to the fried Luo Bu Ma side. There was less Luobu hemp around Liujiaao, but Liu Manyin and Lin Zi's two brothers drove to the surrounding villages and started to buy Luobu hemp fresh leaves. Every day, three or four hundred catties of Luobu hemp fresh leaves can be sent back, so that the output of the Lin family's Luobu hemp tea has not only not decreased, but has increased a lot.

The change of seasons has changed from early spring to mid-spring when Qiu Chen first woke up. As soon as you get out of the house, you can see the lush vegetation, the spring flowers are splendid, and the weather is as warm as a day, and people have finally completely abandoned the heavy cotton jacket and put on a light spring shirt.

In the early morning of the second day, Qiu Chen walked out of the house with his hair in his hands, and he smelled a sweet fragrance that reached the tip of his nose, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

Originally, several fruit trees in the courtyard of the Lin family have bloomed one after another, the apricot blossoms in the backyard have declined, but the peach blossoms have just bloomed, although there is only one tree, but it is still pink and white, gorgeous and beautiful.

She didn't rush to cook, but first went to the vegetable garden to have a look, and she thought to herself that the peppers had already sprouted, and now they were more than an inch high. At first, there were only two sharp horn-like cotyledons, but now four nearly diamond-shaped leaves have grown, stretching and vigorous, pinning Qiu Chen's hope!

Carrying half a bucket of water and a gourd scoop, Qiu Chen patiently and meticulously watered the vegetable garden, and pulled out a large pinch of spinach, thinking in his heart, after the leeks cut the first stubble and the capillary seedlings, this time the leaves were a lot thicker and thicker, and after five or six days, you can cut a stubble of leeks and eat them!

Leeks and cucumbers are fragrant at both ends, and leeks are delicious at this time!

When Qiu Chen walked into the house, Junwen Junshu and Lin Xu got up to wash, said hello to Qiu Chen, and led three horses out to walk the horses and mow the grass. Junyan Junzhang also got up and ran to the backyard to feed the roe deer and the chickens. The Yang Shuyong brothers get up early and go to the pond early every morning to meet Lao He to observe the flow of the pond, to see if there are fish fry in the river, and to see if there are lotus root seeds germinating - before the episode, the lotus root is planted.

His subordinates were making breakfast neatly, but Qiu Chen was thinking about it in his mind.

Seeing that the departure date of the Rejuvenation Hall caravan was approaching day by day, she also made some preparations.

customized a carriage with carriages, and during this time, Lin Xu, Junwen, and Junshu would practice horseback riding every night, and they also sewed a few changes of clothes......

In order to facilitate transportation, the sixty jars of liquor distilled out of the alcohol, and the small jar was not loaded, but the twenty catties of the big jar were still loaded. Ten jars of wine, plus the weight of the jars is nearly three hundred catties, one carriage is enough. However, the cart needs to be equipped with a baffle at the end of the car board, after the jar is loaded into the carriage, the middle is filled with dry thatch to prevent shock, and each jar is fixed with hemp rope, which is very stable.

Qiu Chen pondered, if it wasn't just this time, he should really go to customize copper wine barrels or wooden wine barrels, which are light and not afraid of falling...... Alas, that's the condition, let's do it first!

A busy day passed, and when Lin Xu came back from school in the evening, he came back with a message, Xu Changwen resigned, and tomorrow, Mr. Xu will leave Liujiaao, which means that Lin Xu, who has just returned to school for more than a month, is about to drop out of school.

The news was so sudden that Qiu Chen was stunned for a while before he reacted, and subconsciously asked, "Weishenme?" Can you tell me why? ”

If so, Xu Changwen resigned because she was dissatisfied with the Liu family, wouldn't she just be able to poach Mr. Xu to be Mr.?

However, Lin Xu's next sentence broke Qiu Chen's little thought: "Mr. told me alone that he was recommended by a friend and was going to go out." ”

"Oh...... Out of the way! Qiu Chen responded disappointedly.

To be an official is to be an official, and in this era, a scholar is an official for ten years. 'Learn to become a literary and martial artist, goods and the emperor's family', 'seal the wife and shade', 'change the court'...... It is the dream and pursuit of readers. Compared to this dream pursuit, she can't do anything to rob Hu at all!

That's it, that's it! Qiu Chen shook his head secretly.

Xu Changwen is Mr. Lin Xu, and he has always taken care of Lin Xu, since he is leaving, whether he is out of office or not, their family has to say that they will send some Cheng Yi to the past.

After pondering for a while, Qiu Chen went back to the house and took out twenty taels of silver, and a set of four treasures from the study room came out and handed it to Lin Xu and asked him to send it to his husband.

"You go and ask Sir, when will you leave tomorrow, and will there be a car to pick you up?" No words, our car has just been ready, and you should rush to send Mr. ”

Lin Xu bowed down and went with his baggage.

Originally, I was thinking about waiting a little longer, and then thinking about asking Mr. to run a school after these days, but now that Xu Changwen suddenly quit the museum and left, Lin Xu faced dropping out of school...... Please Mr. Run a school, and immediately it becomes impossible to delay!

But now she hasn't even recognized Liu Jiaao, and outsiders also know those in Huichun Hall, and she really has no clue about finding Mr. for a while. Although the Yang brothers used to drive a car, they had a lot of contact with people, but most of them were ordinary people at the bottom of the people, and I am afraid that they didn't know which scholar had good conduct and knowledge, and was willing to come to their small village to sit in the museum......

Xiexie relatives encouraged, xiexie, Su Su crawled to sleep first, came back to thank them one by one, bowed...... Crawl away! l3l4
