After entering the village, Tian Datou frowned and said, "Village Chief, do you think that the seven widows are joking with those old people?" Are they going to cause trouble for our village?"

Tamura Chief sighed: "Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, people come and go. They talk openly and honestly. Even if the yamen is in charge of heaven and earth, they don't care if they talk and fart in the middle!"

Yang Dacui frowned, a little worried, "I'm afraid that I know that our village has money, and the foundation is shallow, and he came to steal our money and crops." ”

Tian Datou also nodded, echoing Yang Dacui's words: "Sister-in-law is right. We must be careful, village chief, the place where the money is stored in the house must be strict. ”

Tian Village Chief thought about it and felt that it made sense, "Okay, I'll greet the villagers again in the evening and let everyone be more vigilant." ”

Shen Yunxi didn't have time to listen to the sound of the seven widows gritting their teeth outside, so he hurried home with Tian Daniu.

There was hot water in the big vat in the yard. Shen Yunxi took a bath in the bamboo shed and washed his hair. As for Tian Da Niu, he picked up his clothes, ran directly to the creek and jumped down. This is the favorite way for the boys in the village to take a bath. It's very convenient.

Shen Yunxi's hair was scattered. Although she had wiped it, there were still drops of water on the ends of her hair.

The eldest daughter, Tian Xiuli, took a towel and gently wiped it for her mother. Shen Yunxi found the two bookkeeping boards, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he bought today, and began to copy the accounts.

Tian Daniu saw his mother writing, and hurriedly ran over to sit at the small table. He looked at it patiently with envious eyes.

When will he be able to write letters? When can you write such beautiful words?

Shen Yunxi quickly copied an account book with a pen and paper, and cut and bound the cost, which became an account book.

A knife of paper is worth a tael of silver, and it is the cheapest paper in a bookstore. Brushes are cheaper. Its price is 200 Wen, and a piece of ordinary ink costs 300 Wen. As for the inkstone, she also bought the most ordinary one, 200 Wen.

To buy a set of the most ordinary writing tools, it costs two taels of silver. You can buy 200 catties of rice or 200 catties of flour.

No wonder there aren't many people reading books now. Ink, pen, paper, and inkstone are all so expensive. In addition, the bundle costs nearly ten taels of silver every year.

She also bought three books to educate children, namely "Thousand Character Text", "Hundred Family Names" and "Three Character Classic", which are more expensive. A book is two taels of silver, which adds up to six taels of silver.

Shen Yunxi believes in the importance of knowledge and the necessity of reading.

She is homeschooling her children. After the house was built and the rice in the field was harvested, she sent the child to school.

It's not convenient to study here. She asked about the village 15 miles away. It takes four or five hours for the children to go back and forth to school.

Time wasted on the road.

That's not good. When the village is settled, she will earn some money to build a school and hire people to teach the village children. It's not her family's business. It's time for the whole village to ask for help.

At that time, she could also teach children arithmetic.

Shen Yunxi accompanied the children to study, and Zheng Guizhen went to cook.

Zheng Guizhen boiled the fat and lean meat she bought. The remaining oil residue is served with leeks and dumplings.

Wash the tender chives, control the water, cut into small pieces, pour in sesame oil residue, add oil and salt to taste, and stir well.

Zheng Guizhen's dumpling skin is very powerful. Push the rolling pin with your right hand and hold the dumpling wrapper with your left hand. The skin of the dumplings is thick in the middle, thin on the sides, and smooth. Not only is it suitable for making dumplings, but it is also delicious.

Shen Yunxi could only roll the dumpling wrappers with both hands. The thickness of the middle and both sides of the rolled dumpling wrapper is the same, and the shape of the dumpling wrapper is relatively arbitrary. Some are long, some are wide, and some are square. If you're lucky, you can roll out a round one.
