Zhou Qi didn't come back to his senses in amazement, and Su Ling, who was standing on the side, spoke.

"Mother, don't make fun of me, I'm just joking."

"What's the joke here, look at which one of the people in our village doesn't praise you for being good?" Zhao Cuihua hurriedly said.

Zhou Qi also seized the opportunity to give a stinky fart to his daughter-in-law: "Lady is talented, the kitchen god is in the world, and she can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen!" ”

There is still half a sentence, Zhou Qi didn't say it at the moment, he was afraid that what he was going to say, Su Ling might turn around and run away.

But just like this, Su Ling still couldn't help blushing with praise, and said coquettishly: "Lang Jun, eat quickly!" ”

Zhou Qi laughed twice, took two potato balls and stuffed them into his mouth, his daughter-in-law has excellent cooking talent, so she won't eat whatever she wants in the future?

Thinking about it like this, his mood is quite comfortable, he really can't eat this ancient food, if he can, it is not impossible to open a few restaurants in the future to train a group of cooks!

But the most important thing is to make money first, big mansions, big restaurants or something, then there will be later!

Thinking of this, Zhou Qi asked, "What's wrong with our wasteland?" ”

"Okay, now in the spring ploughing season, the villagers still have to plant seedlings, the chief has been arranged, and the people in the village take turns to work every day, don't worry!" Zhao Cuihua replied with a smile.

"Okay, it's still early, I'll take a look."

With that, Zhou Qi packed up some potato balls and went to the wasteland first.

The construction of the house has already started, and at this time, there are villagers piling loess over there, and the walls are thigh-high!

According to this progress, it will be completed in less than half a month!

Zhou Qi knew that others were working hard, so he sent the potato balls to the villagers one by one, and said to everyone very gratefully: "Uncles and aunts have worked hard!" ”

The villagers were also as enthusiastic as ever when they saw Zhou Qi, and their eyes lit up when they saw the potato balls, so they hurriedly stopped what they were doing and sat down on the spot.

"How hard we work, we will make money by pointing to this factory!"

"Yes, when I make money, I will also send my son to school to study, I have the ability to read!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone else laughed: "Just your son?" Will it work? Don't be a child who can't pass the test! Hahaha......"

But just after laughing, everyone was a little embarrassed, isn't this kid just a child who hasn't been admitted to the exam?

One by one, they didn't speak, took the potato balls and ate a few bites and then buried themselves in the soil.

Only the villager just now glanced at everyone indignantly, and then shouted: "If you can't pass the exam, Tongsheng has the ability, just like our Zhou boy!" ”

Zhou Qi was a little helpless......

Speaking of which, he had really seen those books in a corner of the house, but he had been delayed and didn't have time to read them!

Now he's long forgotten where to go...

When everyone had eaten about the same, Zhou Qi greeted the big guy and walked quickly to the chief's house.

There are only 400 toothbrushes in the shop now, but depending on the situation, they will definitely be sold out in a week!

The original plan was to collect two hundred catties of pig hair in half a month, but now it is obviously going to be advanced!

Seeing the chief and Zhang, Zhou Qi explained his intentions.

Zhang was dumbfounded on the spot.

"These ten days haven't arrived yet, and you're going to collect that pig's hair again?"

Zhou Qi nodded very definitely, who can stand up to the good business in the shop!

In fact, he could go directly to the Zhang family's pig farm, but in the end, the Zhang family wanted to get a share, and he didn't want to cross it directly.

After all, although the mayor here is not an official, he is in control of the distribution of land resources in the whole village.

Only when the Li Chang's family gets better, it is possible to drive the economy of the entire village, and he alone is far from enough......

However, the Zhang family and the chief only thought that Zhou Qi was generous and willing to take their family to make a fortune, and they were even more grateful when they looked at him, and they were busy beckoning him to stay for dinner...

In the end, Zhou Qi finally got out of the chief's house, and as soon as he went out, he met Wang Youcai, who came back from the village.

I saw that Wang Youcai was blowing a whistle in his mouth, shaking his head, and walking towards this side with a hanging look.

However, the moment he saw Zhou Qi, he immediately stopped, and then turned sideways with great difficulty, making way for Zhou Qi......

Zhou Qi didn't want to deal with him, but he wanted to laugh inexplicably at his behavior, and the corners of his mouth hooked up and passed past him.

This made Wang Youcai, who was already guilty, suddenly ignited a burst of anger, and immediately stopped him!

"Zhou Qi!"

Zhou Qi turned back with some confusion, waiting for him to continue!

"I thank you for saving me!"

That Wang Youcai shouted at the top of his voice, and then shouted very unconvinced: "But our account is not over yet, and labor and management will settle it with you sooner or later!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Qi couldn't help but snort lightly, shook his head, and shouted, "Grandpa, I'm waiting for you!" ”

After shouting, I regretted it...

This is at the door of the chief's house, and I don't know if the people inside have heard it......

Then he didn't care about Wang Youcai anymore, and went back to Zhou's house directly.

As soon as he got back to the house, he thought of something, rummaged through the cabinets, and finally found a stack of books behind a wooden board.

At this time, papermaking and printing had been popularized, and this book was almost the same as the modern world, so Zhou Qi took out a copy of it casually.

After turning two pages, his head is big, although he is a scholar in his current life, but he really can't stand it.

However, when Zhao Cuihua saw it, she was overjoyed, but she still asked worriedly: "Son, why did you read the book?" But is business not doing well in the city? ”

"No, I just remembered to flip through it." Zhou Qi threw the book back into the mule and said indifferently.

"If you still want to take the imperial examination, my mother also supports it, but you have to hurry up, this year's county exam is not far away..."

Hearing this, Zhou Qi didn't think much about it at all, and when he saw that Su Ling had already packed his bags, he said: "We still have to stay in that county town for one night today, you take care of yourself, and we will come back early tomorrow!" ”

After all, Na Leng has not gone to redeem himself yet, and he is not very relieved that he is in a girl's house and hospitalized with four old men.

Zhao Cuihua didn't mention the imperial examination anymore when she heard it, although she was reluctant, but at this time it was close to evening, and she shouted again and again that they should not go back to the village tonight...

All the way unhindered, Zhou Qi's carriage was fast, and the two soon arrived at the county seat, and happened to meet the store closing.

Su Ling was very affectionate when he saw Qing Leng, and the two of them quickly got together and whispered.

That Chen San has also learned to write simple account books, and at this time he is counting the accounts, counting back and forth several times, and the more he calculates, the deeper the joy in his eyes.

When Zhou Qi saw Chen San's expression, he knew that today's business should be good, but he also asked with some curiosity: "How is it?" ”

After Chen San's side confirmed it again and again, there was news: "One hundred and ninety toothbrushes were sold today, a total of seven hundred and sixty taels, which is even more than the one sold yesterday!" …”

Zhou Qi was not too surprised by this result, it was almost expected.

But the craftsmen were all very happy.

In addition to being happy, a craftsman stood up and pointed to the already empty display shelf and asked, "Shopkeeper, what will we sell after that?" ”
