Chapter 19: Clichés

The Li family farm is actually a family of several farmers living in one place, and they can usually take care of each other. Chen Huan and Xia Zhi stayed at Uncle Li's house at night, and the two took a break in the room. Erde saw the doctor, took the medicine and went to sleep. The Li family was busy with dinner in the kitchen, and Xia Zhi wanted to help, but Aunt Li politely refused, saying that she didn't dare to bother the girl Yunyun, so she had to give up.

When I returned to the room, I saw what Chen Huan had written down in the account book he was carrying, and when I got closer, it turned out to be a detailed description of the rice field I inspected today, and I wrote down the maturity of the rice varieties one by one from the soil state, and finally gave a score.

What is this doing? If you don't understand the summer solstice, you can ask, and the age of curiosity is the best time to get all kinds of information.

Appraisal price. Chen Huan replied briefly.

Xia Solstice reacted with a hand hammer, [Is it about the acquisition bid? 】

[Well, you're pretty smart. 】

[Hehe, of course. Xia Zhi was very complacent and straightened his chest. However, she is not too interested in this aspect, but it is just an introduction to open the chatterbox, [Anyway, I can't see that you are quite good, and you lent the carriage to Uncle Li and them today. It was precisely because of this that they couldn't catch up with the inn where they stayed, so they chose to stay overnight. Chen Huan, a pampered son, he must not be used to living in a simple and vulgar house of a peasant household.

Chen Huan put down the brush, carefully put away the account book, and said, [Do you know whose jurisdiction this farm is? It's the Zhang Fugui you saw that day. 】

[How do you feel like a king? Xia Solstice wasn't sure what he meant.

[Since I said how to determine the bidding, I just want to confirm the quality level of the goods of each bidder. It would be nice if you could get additional information along the way. Chen Huan said as if it was true.

Xia Zhi squinted his eyes and distinguished, well, it is very likely, sure enough, none of the merchants are not black.

[Take away your disdainful eyes.] As long as the behavior is good, why should the motive be pursued? 】

[But if everything is done with a purpose, how utilitarian it is. 】

Chen Huan spread his hands, the three views are not reluctant, just seek common ground while reserving differences.

At the dinner table, Uncle Li also bought a lot of meat in order to entertain the distinguished guests, and the mushroom specialties in the mountains were also generously used to cook, and there were seven or eight plates of dishes on the table, which can be described as sumptuous. Therefore, rural people are real, and after receiving the favor, they will repay it with the greatest ability.

Uncle Li poured Chen Huan a full glass of wine and thanked him again. Although Chen Huan said that he was a noble son, he did not show the slightest disgust, but chatted with Uncle Li politely and humbly, which won the favor of the other party. Xia Zhi also feasted under the warm greeting of Aunt Li, and the atmosphere was well integrated.

Uncle Li raised his head and drank a large sip of rice wine, his face became more and more black and red, it can be seen that he is also enjoying drinking, [I heard that Young Master Chen buys rice for winemaking, not that I boast, this year's rice is really growing very well, and it will definitely be able to make delicious rice wine!] 】

[Maybe it's because I predicted that Young Master Chen would come to buy it, so the sky is beautiful, and this year's weather has become so good. Aunt Li also complimented her, and probably rarely said such a scene, so it seemed a little lame.

Chen Huan's attention was focused on the information in it, [Why, was the weather bad last year? 】

[Yes, I don't know what happened last year, and it rained for half a month, just when the harvest was about to be harvested, and as a result, a lot of last year's rice was soaked and moldy. Fortunately, Master Zhang was kind enough to take away the rice at a low price. Although it is said that there is a lot of loss, a year has finally passed. Aunt Li couldn't stop talking about this, and I guess I really felt a lot of emotion.

[Can you still eat moldy rice?] Didn't that old man Zhang lose a lot? Xia Zhi was puzzled, Zhang Fugui's image had obviously been fixed in the column of the iron rooster, but he didn't expect to have such a kind move?

[Then I don't know.] I've only heard that the rice is piled up in the granary, so I guess it was used for some other purpose. Aunt Li was talking, and was suddenly interrupted by Uncle Li, [You go and see if the old duck soup that is simmering is ready, hurry up and bring it out.] Aunt Li answered.

Seeing this, Chen Huan picked up the wine jug and filled it for Uncle Li, while asking, [Did you also plant Koshihikari rice last year?" Uncle Li, do you know where that granary is? 】

Poor rice is naturally cheap, even for the most prized varieties. Therefore, there are many unscrupulous merchants who will add a certain amount of old rice to the new rice and sell it together, which can not only sell it at a good price but also deal with the old goods, which is simply a good way to kill multiple birds with one stone, so this kind of thing has been repeatedly prohibited. In the end, everyone acquiesced to this approach, and as long as it was not too excessive, the buyer turned a blind eye to it.

When Uncle Li heard this, his face became a little more serious, he looked at the two people present, and patted the table with a decision, [I only heard that it is a small warehouse in the southeast of Tongzhen, and it is said that the seal has not been removed, and I don't know if the thing is still there. I've heard all this, and when people ask, don't tell me what I'm telling you. 】

[Definitely, Uncle Li rest assured. Chen Huan said with a smile. It just so happened that Aunt Li came over with hot soup, so she put the topic aside and chatted about other household matters.

The night was deep and dewy, and because it was a suburban mountain, the temperature at night suddenly dropped a lot. Fortunately, Aunt Li has thoughtfully prepared a charcoal stove, and if you hold the fire, you can still last all night!

Chen Huan washed back to the room and saw Xia Zhi curled up on the edge of the charcoal stove, his head fishing, and then clicked. Co-authoring, this is sleepy, and it doesn't work.

Chen Huan knocked her on the head, [Why don't you sleep yet? Harazi is about to extinguish the coals! 】

The first thing Xia Zhi did when he woke up was to wipe his mouth with his sleeve, and he did a good job, [I'll make up here for one night tonight, and the bed will be given to you. 】

Chen Huan glanced at the bed, which only had one quilt, and understood her concerns. But he still deliberately teased her, [Do you dislike the farmer's quilt for not being clean? 】

[Not really!] Xia Zhi immediately refuted, [It's just that men and women don't kiss each other......]

Chen Huan sneered. Xia Zhi's grievances rushed to his throat, [I know what you're laughing at, you're thinking about the girl who is obviously in the land of fireworks, but you can't afford to be a bastard if you don't kiss men and women. 】

Chen Huan retracted his smile, squatted next to Xia Zhi, looked into her eyes and said, [I have never thought like this, as long as a person has self-respect and self-love, no matter how humble her background is, she will not be looked down upon. What I want to say is that it is inconvenient to go out, in case you catch the wind and cold again, not to mention the delay of the trip, it is not easy to recuperate in this remote suburb. 】

As soon as she said this, Xia Zhi sneezed at the right time, and she couldn't help but refute it. Chen Huan kindly took her out, and if she affected the plan because of her, she couldn't help it, and finally compromised. The two of them lay in the same bed and covered with a quilt, separated by pillows in the middle, without touching each other. Even so, Xia Zhi's heartbeat still beat a cheerful drum, and it didn't stop until the breathing of the people around him became stable and he was sure that he was asleep, and Xia Solstice fell asleep in a daze.

I didn't say anything all night, and when I woke up, my pillow didn't shift. Chen Huan also took the opportunity to ridicule [It seems that you sleep well, but you can laugh. 】 Summer solstice pillow crit return salute.
