Chapter 14 Spice Seeds
Li Miao really didn't mean to joke. Next year. It is the year of the township test. Exams start in August. The prefectural examination will start in February next year. The township examination is conducted every three years. The county examination is twice a year and twice. Next year it's all in catch. Prefectural exam in February. In March and April, the government examination and the hospital have passed the test, and it is a show. If the ranking is okay, you can directly participate in the township examination. As long as Li Xiucai's book is read to him. It's really not difficult, you can really catch it!
From the village to the town. Seven miles. If the weather is good, you can walk in half an hour. But it rained heavily last night, and the road is still not easy to walk. It is estimated that it will take more than half an hour to walk to the town. In these years, transportation is still by walking. People with good conditions use donkeys to carry heavy goods, and they are generally shoulder-to-shoulder. The road is a stone step road, and there is a large bluestone 40 centimeters square in the middle of the road more than one meter wide. Buried deep in the ground. Barely above the ground.
Li Miao stepped on the big bluestone. I won't get a foot of mud on it. However, the surface of the big bluestone has been trampled and ground to be extremely smooth, and there is water in some places, which is a little slippery. Li Miao, of course it doesn't matter, he is now. The worldly top-level combat power has an incredible degree of control over his muscles and strength. Shoes with mille-feuille soles. Step on the bluestone. Just pay attention to the water. To say that this stone road is not an ordinary road, it is equivalent to a county road. There are no stone steps on ordinary roads.
At this time, Li Shui and the little rabbit were jumping in front of him. Sometimes they deliberately step on the water and make a splash. Li Miao is not a fifteen-year-old half-grown child. In the back is unusually calm. This time, grandma couldn't survive Li Miao again. I only took Li Shui and went on the road.
This time, I brought Li Shui out, mainly to let him come out to see. Later, Li Miao plans to open a noodle restaurant in the town. Make a little money. After all, Li Shui is small, just like his brothers, can he not cultivate it? Besides. There is no one else available either. Li Miao had a friend in his later life, who started a noodle restaurant in Changzhou Mansion. Later, he opened more than a dozen noodle restaurants, and later, after he got rich, he began to make a luggage city. But the noodle shop has not been dropped, once after drinking. His friend had said. Nothing to do. Just open a noodle shop, and there is no risk.
So Li Miao plans to open a noodle restaurant in the town first. On the one hand, make some money to subsidize the family. Second, I also want to exercise Li Shui, after all, Li Shui is literate and can settle accounts. Considered a cultural person. Farming is a bit of a waste of talent. Li Miao is still more emotional. The first is to take care of the family, and the three long-term workers in the family also have feelings, especially Li Shui. I also want to cultivate it.
The old master Hu of the private school in the village should also pay homage. If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world, and you should still have the ability to take care of the people you care about in the future. I believe that it is impossible for him to bend his waist for three buckets of rice in the future, and it is not too simple for him to make money. The key is to keep a low profile and keep quiet. Later generations often heard that who made it, and later lost, in fact, it is not worthy of virtue.
Today is catching up with the small set, a small set in five days, a big set in ten days, usually people in the town that are ten miles and eight villages, occasionally come over. People who come across twenty or thirty miles from the market will rush over. In the south, the water is longitudinal and horizontal, and the waterway transportation is particularly developed, and the transportation of goods almost depends on water transportation. So the liveliest part of town is the marina.
From the west of the street to the wharf, it is less than two miles. His mind is outstretched. Finding nothing that appealed to him, he went to the only spice shop in town. Ordinary people have no ability to buy spices, that is, the big families and big restaurants in the town will buy them, so the business is cold. This thing is either not opened, or it can be half full when it opens.
After explaining the intention, there are really seeds, or the seeds that the shopkeeper bought from Jinling a few years ago, failed to try to plant on a barren mountain, and spent ten taels of silver to buy the seeds at that time. I used some of it myself, and most of it is still there. The price was ten taels of silver, and in the end Li Shui returned it to five taels, and the key to the shopkeeper was that it was useless to put it, and no one cared about it for a few years. I finally ran into a layman. But it's picky. In the end, I gritted my teeth and made a deal!
