Yuan Zhiheng stayed for a few more days, and when Diancui's leg was completely healed, he repaired the dilapidated house slightly, and took a few students in the village to teach them to read.

On this day, when Diancui came, he carried a bundle of short bamboo poles, Yuan Zhiheng asked her what she was doing, and Diancui said that he would loosen up a piece of land in the yard, surround a fence, plant some cold-resistant spinach, leeks, shallots, and then plant a spring flower around the fence.

Tomorrow the spring will begin, the flowers will bloom, and the vegetables will be eaten, Diancui said.

Yuan Zhiheng scratched his head and said, "Let's plant it, I want to eat pickled vegetables and melons, can I plant them?"

Pickled vegetables and melons are his hometown dishes, and he is a little nostalgic for it, but I don't know if people here eat this kind of dish.

Diancui smiled slightly, the vegetable melon has to be planted in the spring and eaten in the summer. We can't plant it now, so we'll plant it again in the spring of next year. Caigua is a dish that people eat less now, but it will be more common in a few years, and Diancui did not deal with it less in his previous life when he was a fire maid.

Yuan Zhiheng nodded seriously, and Diancui's heart was full of joy.

The village has been lively and tight recently, saying that it is the official road above that will point Cui into their village, the county comes to measure the small officials come and go, and the villagers in the village outside the village have come to hug their sleeves and watch, and there is news that they want to set up a post station here.

For a time, the village was lively, especially the old Qian family in the west of the village was a desperate household, he raised five daughters at home, all of them were good at embroidery, and they made a lot of money by embroidering their wives and daughters over the years, and they were also familiar with some big families in the county. As soon as he heard that the official road was going to be opened, the old money immediately decided to open an embroidery workshop at home, and in the future, he made embroidery and sold it along the official road, wouldn't it be a good deal! The workshop specializes in accepting the little girl in the boudoir, and after completing the study, five coppers a day, regardless of food.

On the same day, the east of the village of a family surnamed Li old couple, originally the city jewelry workshop of the two craftsmen returned to the hometown, the only eldest son in the county opened a small shop to make jewelry, worked for two years by peers squeezed almost unable to do it, heard that the hometown of Qianjia Village is going to be classified into the official road, then discussed with the father, the small shop closed, back to the village. Like the old money head's family, his family also recruits apprentices, as long as ten people, but also women, but the old and the young, as for the salary after graduation, it is seven coppers a day, plus one meal.

The recruitment of apprentices by these two families has caused a sensation in several villages in Fangyuan, which is a great thing, learning the craft and earning silver. It's just that there are girls over ten years old and under sixteen years old in the village of the Qianjia family, and there are twenty or thirty people to say the least, plus women who have no work, and not only that, but also a few neighboring villages, both of which have shouted that they will accept a maximum of ten people this year, and those who want to go have to try first.

"I have also tried it, I really think I am an official family, what kind of test is it in a village, and I am embarrassed to ......" Qian Laosi's family was angry, and did not forget to send Yueying and Diancui to the east of the village to line up.

Waiting for Yueying and Diancui to rush to the east of the village, which was already bustling with women and girls from several villages, the two had to line up at the back. Who would have thought that before the team was halfway in, ten people would be selected. The two sisters walked home dejectedly, but before they arrived at the door, they were bumped into by the four families of Qian Laosi, each slapped twice, and were immediately driven to the west of the village to line up.

Although there are not as many people in the west of the village as in the east, there are quite a few, and there are people who have been selected from the west one after another to line up. It was the turn of the two sisters, and one of the old Qiantou's daughters said, There is a pancreas over there who went to the well to wash his hands by himself, and then came over.

Diancui and the others didn't dare to say more, so they hurriedly went to fetch water and wash their hands, and when they went over, they said that they stretched out their hands to me to see...... No, let's go.

Before a word, Diancui and Yueying were sent away.
