I have to say that although everyone has experienced the baptism of the Immortal Fruit Feast, today this form is still special, the food is also fresh, and many things are eaten while cooking.

Everyone was very happy at the meal, and Bai Zhixian said with emotion: "I know that many students are puzzled by the fact that Shengshang suddenly added agricultural topics to the scientific examination. To be honest, I used to think that whatever the Holy One asked for, it was right. But in my heart, I didn't have any deep feelings. But today, after we have gone through this experience, I really understand the harm of not being diligent and not separating the five grains. I also understand, who knows the true meaning of Chinese food on the plate, every grain is hard. ”

Hearing this, the students hurriedly stood up and said, "What the adults are doing is that the students have been taught. Otherwise, in the future, we will use Chenjia Village as a place to learn about agriculture. ”

In this regard, those officials who have been shouting about sore feet are even more ashamed, and they no longer dare to yell to go back to the city for a massage. Even if it is to be so, it must be quiet. At the same time, I was secretly happy in my heart, fortunately, they had already passed the test, and they didn't have to take the agricultural questions like the students behind them.

They still remember very well that when this question was first added to the test, the whole country was in mourning. Don't think that students from poor families in the countryside can answer correctly, in fact, they are not much better in comparison.

Most of them, who have been going to school since childhood, have long been away from real cultivation and can be regarded as floating in the air.

After a while, seeing that everyone had eaten and rested, Bai Zhixian said: "I have been watching for half a day, but I haven't found the location of the family search conference. Didn't you say there was a 10,000-person plaza before? Where? ”

Hearing this, Chen Jifa hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, this location is in front, but it has not been repaired for the time being." But it's already the finishing touches, and it's just time to wait for the slate to be laid. ”

And aren't you shouting tired! Just now, it was just a short walk for half a day, but it seemed to be fatal.

"Then you lead the way, let's go and see." Bai Zhixian said.

No matter how Chen Jiacun links the economy to next year's family-seeking conference, he can ignore it, but the smooth development of the family-seeking conference is the focus of his and the emperor's concern.

Therefore, the stakes are high.

On the contrary, if the land selection is not good enough, not spacious enough, and people are more excited when looking for relatives, if there is a stampede because of this, then comedy will turn into tragedy, and he will be the first to suffer.

Now, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, hoping that he will fail. Although he can't get in the way of others, he is a little remarkable. In this regard, Master Gu has told him several times.

Although their promotion has nothing to do with them, they just can't get used to it, and they are even a little jealous, who made the emperor suddenly so concerned about this matter.

It is said that some boring officials have counted that since Bai Zhixian wrote to state this matter, the emperor has said dozens of "good" in a row, sent nearly five excerpts to inquire about this matter, and even held an unprecedented banquet to receive the wives of the Liqun Society, which is simply too abnormal.

Fortunately, this place is just behind the second street, very close, but only a few hundred steps, which makes the officials who have just eaten and drunk enough to breathe a sigh of relief, they really can't walk, but just now Bai Zhixian said that, and they don't dare to put forward different opinions.

It was still a row of shops before, but when it turned the corner, it was a 10,000-person square with almost no edge in sight. It's no wonder that Chen Jifa says that some finishing touches are needed here, because the square is so big.

At first glance, the whole square is circular, and there is a three-storey building at the innermost, and the balcony is very large, and it looks like a place for talking.

Seeing that everyone was very interested, Ye Feng stepped forward and introduced: "Ladies and gentlemen, the location upstairs is for announcing things. At that time, I will ask my father-in-law to go up and speak. ”

This design is really good, thinking that this square will be full of dense people, listening carefully to his own speech, Bai Zhixian seems to be able to feel the shock.

There is also a kind of condescending coolness.

The square is still surrounded by apricot trees, and there is a stone bench under each tree, which is supposed to be for people to rest.

Seeing this, Bai Zhixian was completely relieved, to be honest, the construction here was better than he imagined. I originally thought that it was at most a mountain village scenery, but I didn't expect that there were both shops in the city, inns, squares for people to move and several scenic spots, all of which were good.

Thinking of this, an official asked curiously: "How did we do this by walking all the way and everywhere was extremely clean and free of dirt?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Jifa hurriedly replied: "It's okay now, they are all from this village, and a few people are doing business." Very good control. In the future, when the family search conference is held, there will be many people, and it will naturally not be so clean. However, we are also prepared that there is a person in the village who is responsible for cleaning. ”

"Dedicated to cleaning? Would they like to? ”

"Absolutely. We found 10 families in the village who were doing the most unsatisfactory, and each family sent a person to be paid one tael of silver a month, so that they could clean it at any time to ensure that the ground was clean. At the same time, these ten men were also overseers, and if anyone was found to be littering, he would be fined more than three times. Over time, no one in the village dared to litter. ”

Hearing this, Bai Zhixian said: "Well, this is an excellent idea, and we will do it in the city when we go back." Some of them are so abominable that they litter the streets of the city with smoke and miasma. ”

The streets of the city are indeed too dirty, and there is even a special existence like a dirty bridge. In comparison, Chenjiacun is clean and similar to something.

At the end, Bai Zhixian patted Chen Jifa on the shoulder again and said, "Speaking of which, it's so good here, it's all your credit." Work hard, I believe that under your leadership, Chenjiacun will get better and better. ”

This series of actions was intimate and boastful, and Chen Jifa didn't react to his excitement for a long time, and his face was full of red light, as if he was excited, and as if he was going to cry, which made Chen Qianfan a little embarrassed.

He's a dad, and he still hasn't gone through anything. Bai Zhixian just slapped him a few times and said some scenes, and he was like that. It's a shame that last night he repeatedly promised that he wouldn't make a fool of himself.

Fortunately, Ye Shi had been watching from the side, and when he saw this, he pinched him without a trace, and Chen Jifa realized that he had lost his temper. Obviously, today's visit has come to an end, and he should organize the villagers to gather.

By the time the group reached the entrance of the village, the villagers had already gathered and stood on both sides of the road. The officials were so excited that they could get into the carriage immediately, so when they saw the villagers, they were all very enthusiastic, shaking hands and encouraging, which pushed the atmosphere to a peak for a while.

They also have such popular times.

When all these big men waited for the carriage, the villagers fell into a crazy mood, and everyone knew that they were very satisfied with this trip to Baizhi County, and it was evident from the enthusiasm when they just parted.

For a while, everyone burst into tears, only thinking that the vision of that day a few years ago was simply a prophecy of God, and I felt that I didn't know what luck I had in this life, and I was able to have such close contact with the officials. You know, they have lived here for generations, but they have never seen so many high-ranking officials.

From now on, they had a mouth-watering conversation point, and they believed that a better life was about to come.

After this inspection, the first person to benefit was Chen Jifa.

Now, wherever they go, the villagers will call the "village chief" from the bottom of their hearts, instead of ignoring or even avoiding detours as before.

What's even more strange is that the village chiefs of neighboring villages have invited him to pass on his experience, hoping to replicate the success of Chenjia Village. However, after listening to it for a long time, I can only be anxious, because no matter what kind of infrastructure is needed, there are a lot of needs.

Obviously, the prosperity of Chenjia Village comes step by step, not only the big killer of longevity fruit, but also the natural environment such as apricot trees, fruit trees, and large lakes, which are simply interlocking.

And they have nothing here, and they can only envy the poor mountains and bad waters.

In addition, the magistrate sent some gifts, saying that he was encouraged to make persistent efforts, strive to pick out the details of those imperfect places, and strive to do a good job before next year's family search conference.

After receiving the reward, Chen Jifa was even more excited, and he couldn't wait to soak in the construction site every day to supervise the progress. Bai Zhi County's order, he must complete.

The second to benefit is naturally those who have bought a shop.

At this moment, they were even more glad that they gritted their teeth and insisted on buying the shop. Although they spent all their family savings, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they had bought the right one this time.

Before it officially opened, people kept asking if the shop was going to sell, and the price had risen from 300 taels to 350 taels. In other words, they had already earned fifty taels of silver without doing anything.

In particular, the four shops that provided meals for today's inspection were even more crowded at the moment by those who were engaged in work and decoration, and their mouths were shouting for a food that was exactly the same as that that of the officials just now.

Although we can't sit down to eat together, we can still afford to ask for the same food that the officials and gentlemen have eaten.

Li Sanjin's shop today is to provide old sour radish pickled celery stewed fish, at this moment, the store is also full of people, all clamoring for a copy, finally, the demand is so great that the pickled celery and sour radish in several jars in the shop have been used up.

Although there was no cashier for the noon meal, it had been doubled at the moment. Besides, those sour radishes and pickled celery, which are praised by people, are just the next meals of the Li family when there are no fresh vegetables in winter, but they have become a rare delicacy in the mouths of everyone.

Li Cripple was even more excited, and when the guests left, he and his family began to count copper coins. He didn't have any hobbies, and he couldn't help much when he cooked, so he was responsible for collecting money.

Every time he listened to the sound of the copper coins being thrown into the wooden box, he laughed from ear to ear. No, as soon as the guest left, he couldn't wait to start counting copper plate by copper plate.

However, he doesn't know a single word, and his counting is extremely limited, and he can't catch it after turning over a hundred, but he has his own unique way of counting.

For example, when you count to a hundred, you put it in a pile and count it from the beginning. In this way, when he counted to the fifth thousand and one hundred and twenty, his hand trembled uncontrollably.

Li Sanjin was eating apples bought from Chen Wumei's house on the side.

To say that this apple is really delicious, the ones sold on the market are either sour or astringent, where are these apples like those produced in Chen Wumei's field, sweet and juicy, crisp and delicious, she can eat several at once.

Especially after hearing Ye Feng say that pregnant women will be smarter if they eat more apples, Chen Jitang bought a hundred apples from Chen Wumei without saying a word, piled them at home, and Li Sanjin ate them whenever he wanted.

Chen Jitang wants to have a smart cub so much.

Li Ermei and Chen said while washing the dishes and washing the pots: "Mother, you see that my father is happy, where has he been counting." I've counted for almost half an hour, I just saw his hand shake, don't be cramping, right? Haha......"

Chen watched Li Sanjin happily eating apples and touching his stomach, which was full of maternal brilliance. Thank God for being so kind to their family, think about the days of a few months ago, and then look at the days of today, it is a cloud of difference.

Listening to his daughter making fun of his father, Chen scolded with a smile: "You, talk about your father like this, be careful that he beats you for a while, I won't help." ”

Hearing this, Li Ermei smiled and said, "He won't, you see that he is happy." But why don't we ask Dad, how much silver was sold today? After counting for so long, it's time to finish counting. I think it's a lot, and all the sour radishes are sold, and I don't know what to do tomorrow. ”

Chen hurriedly said: "Don't, don't you see that he is still counting, if you make a mistake, he will forget the previous number, but he really wants to beat you." Let's wait until he's done counting, or he'll have to do it all over again. ”

Chen straightened her waist, she was a little too tired today.

But she is willing to do such a thing, no matter how tired she is.

Li Cripple finally counted the silver, covered the lid of the wooden box with wooden ground, and sat there in a daze. Seeing this, Li Ermei hurriedly ran over and asked, "What's wrong Dad, didn't you finish counting or is the silver wrong?" ”

After a while, Li Cripple spoke: "The silver is fine, but I suspect that I have counted it wrong." Otherwise, I'll count it again. ”

As he spoke, he opened the lid and really wanted to count it again.

Seeing this, Li Sanjin hurriedly stopped: "Dad, don't count anymore, I heard it all while sitting here, it's more than five taels in total, right?" ”

Count it again, and it is estimated that the sky is going to be bright, and everyone will not have to rest.

Li Lizi nodded woodenly, but Li Ermei and Chen Shi gasped and felt unbelievable. They used to live for almost half a year, and today they earned it in one day?

Li Sanjin said: "It's a little unexpected, but it's not pure earning, and you have to remove the silver from buying fish and carbon to buy spices." By the way, our jars of sour radish and celery should also be counted. Remove these, that's what is earned. Also, today is such a good business because everyone wants to try it and eat what the county magistrate has eaten. In the future, it's hard to do this. ”

Li Sanjin was telling the truth. There is a reason why business is so good today.

Chen said: "Fish and carbon are more expensive, but with seasonings, it should not exceed one or two halves of silver." As for our sour radish and pickled celery, it's not worth anything. There are not many people today, and when it really gets lively in the future, I believe there will be more people. ”

Seeing that Li Sanjin was still eating apples, Chen said: "Okay, Sanjin, don't eat it, I feel sick to my stomach after eating too much." Everyone says sour and spicy girls, but you like to eat sweet, what do you want to give birth to? ”

"Of course I want to give birth to a son, my mother liked to eat sweet food when she was pregnant with me, and she even wanted to add a spoonful of sugar to her porridge." Chen Jitang said as he walked in. There was an oil lamp in the shop, and he saw it from afar.

Seeing that Chen Jitang was coming, Chen hurriedly brought out a bowl of noodles and said, "I haven't eaten dinner yet, this is what I just made, and I specially left it for you, so eat it quickly." ”

Chen Jitang was not polite, and began to eat after the bowl. This noodle is made with the leftover fish soup just now, and it is very refreshing to eat. Moreover, in order to avoid fish bones, Chan picked several times.

Li Cripple saw that everything was almost the same, so he got up and said: "I'll go back first, remember to lock the shop when you leave, by the way, I have to go back and think of a way, now there are no radishes in the field, but how to make this sour radish." ”

Without this sour radish, you can't make sauerkraut fish.

But it was Li Ermei's flexible mind, and after thinking about it, she said: "Speaking of which, our family doesn't have it, but other people's families do." Anyway, it's just something to eat, and every family has it. You say, "If we buy money, will they be willing to sell it?" ”

When Li Lizi heard this, his eyes lit up and said: "Well, this method is good, you don't have to think about it, you are naturally willing." For them, it's just a sour radish that can be sold for some silver, and for us, we don't owe favors. That's great, I'm going to buy some tomorrow. ”

Originally, Li Ermei and the Chen family planned to live on the second floor, but Li Lizi said that seeing that business was getting better day by day, the village said that they were not allowed to occupy the road except for banquets, and they could only decorate the second floor.

If you want to rest, you should go to Chen Jitang's house.

Chen Jitang naturally doesn't mind, anyway, the house is empty, and Li Sanjin may be born one day, in case it is launched in the middle of the night, he is inexperienced, and he is really afraid that something will go wrong at that time. And the Chen family has given birth to so many children, has rich experience, and with her, Chen Jitang is down-to-earth.

The third beneficiary is Chen Wumei and Qianyu.

Qianyu just helped Chen Wumei to help and contribute, but Chen Wumei spent countless hours learning to graft with Ye Feng, and threw herself and the silver into her own fruit grove like a flowing water, Ye Feng said to buy whatever she wanted.

Mrs. Liu looked distressed and stopped her several times, but Chen Wumei was stunned and didn't want to look back. Planting fruit trees and roses gave her the confidence to think that her previous idea of relying on a man to live was simply stupid.

Just like Ye Feng said, what's wrong with the woman who is separated from him is also a human being.

As long as you are willing to endure hardships and work hard, you can live well.

As soon as the inspection group returned to the city and ate the apples bought in the city, they suddenly remembered the unusual apples they had eaten in Chenjia Village. So they sent small servants to Chenjia Village to inquire, and they were not too expensive than those sold in the city, less than ten catties, more than twenty or thirty catties, and they didn't go back empty-handed.

In this way, it was only three days, and all the apples planted by Chen Wumei had been sold out. Many people still want to eat it, but unfortunately it has been sold out, so they can only wait until next year.

Mrs. Liu is also a good person, when the first time a little girl came to buy apples, she pretended to lead the way, and said that this apple has a miraculous effect while walking, in short, the man eats the whole body and is healthy, and the woman eats the skin well, just like a nursery.

After three days, when the apples were sold, she and Chen Wumei began to count the silver, and the result was twelve taels of silver.

Although this amount is nothing compared to Chen Wumei's investment, even Mrs. Liu knows that it has only been a year. This fruit tree will bear fruit at first, and it will only be more next year, and it will be like a hen that lays eggs, enough to sell for many years.

And the pears and roses in the field haven't been sold yet.

Ye Feng said that in addition to winter, this rose will bloom in spring, summer and autumn throughout the year, and it needs to be picked and dried when the flower bones are needed to keep it for next year.

As for the pear, it is said that it is called Sydney pear, it is said to be sweet and juicy, sweet to death, although there are only a few this year, but next year it will definitely bear fruit.

Speaking of which. When the time comes, it's another income.

Also, the saplings in the adjacent field are said to be able to produce the same trees as these delicious apples and pears, and some people have started to buy them now.

Not to mention that Ye Feng and Chen Wumei also have a partnership shop, which is said to specialize in selling water for drinking, saying that people will come to buy it when they are thirsty when they walk. To say that those flowers and grasses have no cost, especially the flowers, they are all planted by themselves, and as for the cost of boiling water, it is even more negligible.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu suddenly felt that the big stone pressing on her heart was completely let go, and her steps were brisk. As for Chen Wumei's family affairs, she suddenly stopped worrying.

Anyway, everyone in the village knows that Fan Jifei's kid runs to the field every day, either helping to hoe grass or helping to pick up manure and fertilizer, and his daughter is not disgusted, I think she wants to test the other party.

That's a lot of fun.

She just had to wait until the day when the water was ready.

No matter how bad it is, who in these ten miles and eight townships doesn't know Chenjia Village, where all the young offspring don't worry about marrying a daughter-in-law, and the girls don't have to worry about marrying. Although his daughter is a harmonious person, she is better than having the ability, her appearance is not bad, and she is a person who can make money, and there is no oil bottle behind her.

Just last month, the widow Zhou in the village, if she remembers correctly, has thirty-seven or eighteen, and without warning, she actually recruited a widower for herself to come to the door.

Although it is said that they are just making do with life, they have heard of widows remarrying, but they have never heard of widows recruiting widowers to come to their doors. The man looked quite thoughtful and well-built, and generally did not look down on the widow like this.

Speaking of which, this is not because of the potential of Chenjia Village and the momentum of becoming more and more prosperous.

In addition, maybe it's because she has silver, maybe it's because her wife is old but she can still share the money, and the Huang family treats her very well now.

When it was Huang's turn to eat at the Huang family, the quality of the food had made a qualitative leap compared to before. I didn't hide it anymore, and I didn't wait for her to go before eating meat.

As for the Zhu family and the Ye family, not to mention, she basically has everything she wants. In many cases, without her opening her mouth, the two of them can buy the delicious food in advance.

has lived together for many years, and she is so used to it, and the two have long figured it out.

Besides, these two were not stingy originally, and now they are taking it out, so they are naturally more concerned.

When it comes to human activity, what is there not to be satisfied with?
