"How so? This is just one of the purposes of my visit, thinking that we are closer here, but unfortunately there are no farmers planting peach trees, but my main purpose is to visit Master and Zifei. Lu Caiqing said with a smile and flattery.

"As far as your mouth is concerned, I heard Zifei say, when he was studying, did Lin Bingtang of the Linfu in the capital give you a letter of recommendation?" Yang Yibao asked.

Lu Caiqing listened and replied, "Yes! When I left the capital, Uncle Lin said that you had a strange temper and was afraid that you would not accept it, so he wrote a letter of recommendation. ”

"Then why don't you take it out, I have been friends with him for many years, and with that letter, you don't have to go to such great lengths to study?"

"That won't do! Our Zifei has a smart brain, and he is not more hardened by his own ability, if he relies on the relationship to become a teacher, it is not his own ability, then he himself looks down on himself, so I burned the letter. Lu Caiqing said righteously.

"Good! My vision is good, even if I don't fly in vain, this child is smart and smart, and his brain is active, and he will definitely have a lot of success in the future. Yang Yibao was proud of Zifei.

"By the way, Master, you are well-informed, have you ever seen that kind of thing in the palace, transparent and waterproof?"

Yang Yibao listened and asked, "What do you mean is a transparent and waterproof thing?" ”

"Hmm~ It's a kind of paper-thin, translucent, waterproof thing, it can also be called plastic." Lu Caiqing said seriously.

Yang Yibao shook his head and said, "I haven't heard what you said, but did you see what you said with your own eyes, or did you see it in books?" ”

Lu Caiqing listened, I have personally used it now, if you want to build a greenhouse, you need to rely on the sun's irradiation and heating to protect and cultivate various vegetables.

But this plastic is not so easy to produce, in this backward countryside, even the master has not heard of the process, let alone realized here.

After thinking about it, since there is no plastic, it can only be replaced by glass, it also has the effect of refraction, that is, there is no strong penetration of plastic, but the plastic greenhouse is changed to a greenhouse, so that in this winter may be out of season to grow vegetables, maybe it will also be a way out for the people.

"Master, since you haven't heard of it, I'll say it differently, haven't you seen it, Bo...... Glass, glass! ”

Lu Caiqing thought that these ancient names should be called Liuli, this thing is easy to produce, maybe there is such a thing in the palace.

Yang Yibao listened, and asked later: "Cai Qing!" Tell me, what are you going to do with these things? ”

"Master! I want to build a greenhouse, we here in winter, there are very few vegetables on the market, we want to eat fresh vegetables, buy nowhere to find, I just want to plant anti-seasonal vegetables in winter to sell, almost in line with the needs of the market, but also to the people here to generate income, kill two birds with one stone! Lu Caiqing said with an oath.

"You mean growing vegetables in the house? Looking for a material that shines through the sun? ”

"Master! That's what it means, have you ever seen anything like this? Lu Caiqing is very happy, after all, he is a university scholar in the capital, he has a clear mind, and he knows everything thoroughly.

"I've seen it, but I'm not sure he can produce the glass you said." Yang Yibao shook his head uncertainly.

Lu Caiqing was overjoyed when he heard this, if it can really be produced, then the main house of the family can be flipped, and clean and bright glass windows can be installed.

"Master! Master! She happily got up and ran to Yang Yibao's desk, and asked happily, "Master, tell me, where did you see that glass?" ”

"I don't know if that counts, I remember one year on the emperor's birthday, a magistrate came to congratulate the birthday, carrying a thing called a fish tank, which was transparent on all sides, filled with water, and countless koi fish swam in it, the emperor was very happy at the time, and rewarded the official with gold on the spot, but everyone paid attention to the fish tank, and did not ask where this thing came from?"

"It's not leaky! There are also fish swimming, so isn't that what is Liuli? Master, then you can still find out if the official has been promoted or returned to the same place. Lu Caiqing then asked.

"It's easy! If you want to find him, then as a teacher, just write a letter and ask your colleagues who are serving in the court, but you have to wait for more than a month. ”

"No hurry, no hurry! Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, I don't have the intention of building a lot of buildings, there are still a lot of things to deal with at home, with this news, I just wait, now the money earned by the family is enough to spend, but you can't sit and eat empty, you still have to have an entry. ”

"Hmmm! My apprentice is a visionary, idealistic, and supports you as a teacher! So what are your plans now? Yang Yibao asked with concern.

"I don't have any plans yet, the orchard will be put on hold for the time being, and when the spring is grafting, I still have to go to Jeju City, I promised Brother Lin to get him a few recipes, and now it's time to cash in." Lu Caiqing thought for a long time and said.

"Cai Qing! Isn't it just to sell an idea for a few dishes? I ate the food you made for the teacher, that is, eating the dishes made by others is like chewing wax, have you ever thought about it, now in the slack time, do some side jobs? Yang Yibao reminded.

Uncle Wang listened to it next to him, and muttered in his heart, the dishes he made were not delicious, and he didn't have to belittle himself in front of his apprentices, but the dishes made by Cai Qing's girl were really delicious, but no one paid attention to his feelings when they talked about things.

"Thought? Don't you just want to build a greenhouse? Lu Caiqing said without thinking.

"What the teacher means is that this thing is not in a hurry, now that the autumn harvest is over, the fish are sold and the ducks are sold, don't you have no extra income? I mean, instead of selling ideas, it's better to start your own small business, and with so many mouths waiting to eat at home, you can't just live on your old book! ”

Lu Caiqing raised her head and looked at the master, she only knew that the master had a strange temper, but she never expected the master to be so good to her, and he still cared about her family life and thought about himself everywhere.

"Master! You made me think about it, and while it was a good idea, it was very difficult to put into practice. ”

"My apprentice is not the one who retreats when he encounters difficulties, Master is optimistic about you! When your Chenjia Village is as rich as Taojia Village, Master is still waiting to move in with you? With your unenterprising attitude, how long do you want Master to wait before moving? ”

After speaking, he motioned to Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang took a package and handed it to the master, Yang Yibao opened the box, took out a silver ticket and said: "Here is a silver ticket of five hundred taels, you and Ziyu's stinky boy got married, and the teacher didn't catch up, this bit of silver should be regarded as a gift for me to accept your apprentice." ”

Lu Caiqing straightened up and stepped back: "Don't, don't!" Master, you just said that you want me to rise to the challenge, why did you give me so much silver for nothing, didn't this make me stop? ”

Yang Yibao listened, picked up the brush on the table and tapped her head with his hand and said, "You can be my Yang Yibao's apprentice, do you think it's so easy, and you still can't move forward?" These are the capital to do business for you, who let you eat the old capital. ”

"Then I can't ask for it, it's all apprentices who are filial to the master, how can there be a reason for the master to pay money to the apprentice, I said to go back and think about it, I discussed it with Brother Song, after all, there is a mother and a husband in the family, I still have to discuss it with them." It's not that it's bad money. Lu Caiqing rubbed his beaten head aggrievedly.

Yang Yibao listened, stretched out his hand and raised the brush again, Lu Caiqing took a step back and said aggrievedly, "Master! You still fight! I respect the elders, and I raise my eyebrows with the prime minister, and you still fight! ”

Yang Yibao retracted his hand mischievously and said: "Who said that he would still fight, he was just stretching his arms for the teacher!" Hurry up and put the money away, I'm angry if I don't collect it, the consequences are very serious. ”

Lu Caiqing looked at him with a resolute attitude, hesitated and said, "Okay!" Since that's the case, I'll put it away, but I'll go home to discuss, if my mother and Brother Song don't agree, I'll have to pay it back. ”

"I won't take back what I send out."

"That'...... So be it! I collect the money, whether I am planting fruit trees, building greenhouses, or doing business, I will give you an IOU, and return the principal and interest after one year, but also urge me to be positive, don't sit and eat empty, what do you think? Lu Caiqing said calculatedly.

"You girl? How to return the principal and interest? Doesn't it count interest? Yang Yibao asked unconvinced.

"Huh! Master! You are my master, you are equivalent to my relatives! How can a family collect interest from their apprentices? ”

After the two finished talking there, they started a war again, and Uncle Wang sat there laughing from ear to ear, knowing that the two were not really fighting, but poor, admiring Cai Qing, and making his master so happy.

Song Ziyu and Lu Caiqing stayed for one night, and then drove the ox cart back, Song Zifei was reluctant to let them go, and watched the eldest brother and Sister Caiqing disappear in front of him, only to be pulled back by Wang Bo.

Yang Yibao saw that he was in a low mood and comforted: "Zifei! This time, your eldest brother and Cai Qing came here to see you, one is to encourage you, and the other is to set an example for you, you see that your eldest brother is diligent and inquisitive, and knows the technology of making wood charcoal, he can study hard at home, you also want your eldest brother to learn to know? ”

Song Zifei was thoroughly nodded by the master's words, and immediately nodded energetically, no longer uncomfortable for them to leave, and secretly determined that he must study hard, strive for the top, and live up to the expectations of his eldest brother and family.

Back at home, Lu Caiqing put the five hundred taels given by the master on the table, and told Aunt Xia about the master's suggestion to herself, Song Ziyu listened and asked curiously: "What's wrong with the master, as soon as he made a move, he gave you five hundred taels, although it is said that you need to use silver to do a small business, but you don't need to give so much?"

"Brother Song! Do you see that I am the one who took Master's money for nothing? Master said that there are many people in the family, and they can't sit and eat empty, and now that they are farming, find a side job to do, which will make the family richer, but I wrote an IOU, and I will pay it back after a year. ”
