Chapter 338: Farming
In the end, Jing Kang couldn't resist me, everything depended on me, and agreed to the idea of opening a shop with Qiu An.
When Qiu An told her second uncle about this idea, the second uncle disagreed at first, according to his idea, Qiu An came back to settle down for a while, and after a while, he would find her a big family, so that Qiu An could live a good life, so that he could be worthy of Qiu An's underground father.
Hearing the second uncle say this, Qiu An felt a little nostalgic and cried for a while, but she insisted on refusing, the second uncle looked at Qiu An, and Helan Mingshan outside the door, it was estimated that it was a misunderstanding, so he didn't say anything and agreed to Qiu An.
With the help of my second uncle, Qiu'an's shop and I opened quickly, and not many people came on the opening day, and many people were not optimistic about our shop, but these didn't matter.
In fact, the second aunt and Aunt Luo also helped us a lot, although the door was closed, Aunt Luo is a woman who likes to eat sour vinegar, but in front of people, she is really a good hand in the busy, although the second aunt has a good temperament and is also virtuous, but in front of people, it is far less vigorous and resolute than Aunt Luo.
Qiu An learned a lot of embroidery skills in the imperial city, no worse than those weavers in the big weaving house, as for the female workers I will, compared with Qiu An is far inferior, but I am not shallow, I have seen a lot of patterns, draw them down, and give them to Qiu An to embroider.
In fact, Qiu'an's favorite embroidery is the heron grass in front of his house, but the heron grass is an ordinary wildflower in Erdao Mountain, so it can't get into the eyes of past female guests.
But other patterns in Erdao Mountain has been greatly welcomed, those rich ladies and ladies, have come to order the handkerchief, Erdao Mountain we embroidered those patterns are also all the rage, and even people from outside the town come to visit.
This little shop gradually gained some fame, which was beyond our expectations, and the gold and silver earned could not only provide for our daily expenses, but also have some surplus, although it was not much, but fortunately, those of us who were pampered and accustomed to it, were finally able to support ourselves.
Qiu'an and I have achieved such a little achievement, Helan Mingshan and Jingkang can't hold their faces, and they also want to prove themselves, but they refuse to stay in the embroidery room of our daughter's house, so they find another way.
He said that mortals in the world are happy, but they are too weak, and the martial arts hall is opened in Erdao Mountain, just to let the children here be healthy, and when necessary, they can protect themselves and their families.
At this time, Jingkang can no longer take care of his former noble status as the prince of the Dragon Clan, he likes to be with Helan Mingshan all over the height, and now that Helan Mingshan is doing well, he naturally can't stand it, so he opened a private school.
Originally, there was a private school in Erdao Mountain, which was a respected old gentleman, there were many rich people in Erdao Mountain, and there were many poor people, and the old gentleman was all taken under the door, but he couldn't stand his gradual aging, and it happened that Jingkang's own private school was opened, and the old gentleman came to listen to it a few times, and felt very good, and after leaving with a smile, he closed his private school and let his students come to Jingkang to study.
When Jingkang saw that there were many people coming, he was naturally overjoyed, and he took them all under his door.
Qiu An and I embroidered patterns for those women, for them it was just a rich family's after-dinner pastime, and the gold and silver earned were enough for us to spend, so Jingkang's private school, as well as Helan Mingshan's martial arts hall, in addition to being angry with me and Qiu to prove that these two men were no worse than us women, the other one was to benefit the township, not only the children of the rich family, but also the children of the poor family.
Therefore, private schools also have martial arts fees
It is not high, or rather, it does not charge much, and if it is given gold and silver, it will be symbolically collected, and if it cannot be given, neither of them will want it, and the children will accept it as usual, and if the adults do not want to go, it is good to save a little food in their mouths.
The people in the countryside are simple, and those poor people know that we don't care about money, and secretly call us great good people, and they will also send us melons, fruits, and vegetables that grow in our fields every once in a while.
Everyone knows that we are all people who have a relationship with Qiu'an, Qiu'an is from Erdaoshan, but he left home and went to the Imperial City since he was a child, so everyone also pushed this kindness to the second uncle.
There are some wealthy families in Erdao Mountain, and the second uncle's previous family background is only average, and he still relies on Qiu'an's previous help, but because everyone thinks that Qiu'an and the second uncle's are good, the status of the second uncle's family has risen in Erdao Mountain.
The relationship between Aunt Luo and us is getting better and better, we have always liked the child Jin Bao, and we are not stingy with Aunt Luo, but we don't know how sincere Aunt Luo's enthusiasm for us is.
After a few months of peace and quiet, spring began, the weather warmed, the mountains became ice and snow, and the sky and the earth began to appear green.
The heron grass in front of the door hasn't bloomed yet, but I've already fallen in love with the place.
The wind in the mountains is strong, and the soil ash is also big, but with Qiu'an and the careful care of the second aunt, Jiubai and Qinghuang are still as white and tender as before, and they don't have the appearance of mountain people.
Not only did my two children and I like it here, but neither Jingkang nor Helan Mingshan ever mentioned the word "go", and it is rare for them to live so freely here.
Since it was the beginning of spring, the people in the mountains wanted to plow the land and cultivate the land, so I asked Jingkang, "Have you ever planted a field?"
Jingkang's face changed greatly, he looked at me like a monster, and said, "No." ”
Naturally, the fairy world doesn't even have a field, so how can he go to farming.
I asked Helan Mingshan again: "What about you?"
In fact, I know a little bit about Helan Mingshan's life experience, and sure enough, he replied: "No." ”
"Neither did I. ”
When Qiu'an and the others looked at me, I also said truthfully, "But I want to get two fields, one for grain and one for vegetables." ”
Jingkang and Helan Mingshan listened to me, and there was no lack of fascination in their eyes.
Qiu An said at this time: "I can plant, but it has been many years, I will go and tell the second uncle, let him help us get two fields, and then let the second aunt teach us to farm." ”
So good, I took Qiu'an's hand and said, "Thanks to you, our days in Erdao Mountain are the same as we thought before, peace and joy." ”
Qiu An only smiled and said nothing, and the two of us went to the second uncle's house together.
Qiu'an told me on the road that the second uncle's family was surplus and originally did not need to farm, but the second aunt had been in the mountains for many years and could not leave this field, so she had to plant a piece every year.
Unexpectedly, the second uncle's field was more and more, and the second aunt couldn't plant it herself, so the second uncle rented it to those farmers, and over time, the second uncle's own family had more than 100 acres of fertile land, and he would make a lot of money every year.
