After becoming a top-notch peasant woman, she continues to be a top-notch
Chapter 37 Literacy
Qiao Feng thought about it and it seemed to be true. Ever since Qiao Dashan's grandson was born, not only had they had meat to eat, but they even bought a donkey cart.
Qiao Feng also took a look at the yard. There were actually two pigs raised there. The two pigs were looking pretty good, plump and white. A few chickens were eating radish leaves over there, and mustard greens were drying on the other side, as if they were going to be used to make sauerkraut. But why were the mustard greens so big?
"Village chief, take one home and try it. It's delicious." Qiao Chen took a big radish and handed it to Qiao Feng. "We sell these radishes."
"Hey, hey, hey, no need, you should keep it and sell it for more money. After all, we just borrowed the money."
Qiao Dashan: "It's okay, it's just a carrot, Village Chief, take it back and eat it."
Zhen Yue: "Give the village chief a piece of mustard greens to try."
Mrs. Qiao Chen immediately took one and handed it to Qiao Feng. In the end, Qiao Feng couldn't resist their enthusiasm and took it back.
When they got home, Jin was cooking. Qiao Feng went in with radishes and mustard greens. "This is what the Dashan family gave me. Why don't you try making it tonight?"
When Jin saw the radishes and mustard greens that Qiao Feng brought back, she thought they were juicy and big. "Why are they so big?" They were more than twice as big as the ones she had grown.
Qiao Feng: "It is said that it was planted by Zhen. Zhen said that they used leaf mold and pig manure, and watered and weeded regularly."
Jin: "I also watered and weeded regularly, but I didn't use leaf mold. I'll try that next time."
"Ah."
After the food was ready, the family started to eat. Qiao Feng picked up a piece of radish and put it in his mouth first. He had been eating Jin's food for many years and knew her cooking skills, but as soon as he tasted the radish today, he knew it was different from the previous ones.
Qiao Feng's eldest grandson Qi Ge'er took a bite of the radish and said in a baby voice, "The radish is delicious."
Qiao Feng: "It's really delicious, you guys should try it too."
Jin also quickly took a bite and found that it was indeed different from the radishes she had cooked before. Her cooking technique was just that, so Jin immediately knew that it was the radishes that were different.
Then she tasted the mustard greens on the side and found that they were also different from the previous ones.
Others also thought it was very good. Jin's eldest daughter-in-law, Bao, said: "Today's radish and mustard greens are really delicious. Mom, your cooking skills have improved."
Jin: "It's not that my cooking skills have improved, it's that radishes and mustard greens are delicious in themselves."
Qiao Feng: "I brought these two back from your uncle Dashan's house tonight. The crops they grow are really good."
Bao and her husband Qiao Song looked at each other and said, "My dear, it seems that Qiao Da hasn't come to see you recently."
Qiao Feng: "Your uncle Dashan is busy right now, how can he have time?"
Qiao Song: "If I'm free tomorrow, I'll go to Qiao's house and ask what he's been doing recently."
Qiao Feng: "No need to ask, they are going to sell radishes tomorrow, several kilograms of radishes. They also found a big customer in the county, and that big customer lent them money to buy a donkey cart. As for the interest those people outside are talking about, that's not the case. You can't just listen to what they say."
"Got it, Dad."
On Zhen Yue's side, the men were washing radishes in preparation for shipping them to the county town tomorrow. Qiao Chen and Qian were busy cooking in the kitchen. Zhen Yue sat aside taking care of the children. "Didn't you buy flour? Make some steamed buns and let them take them to eat tomorrow morning after heating them up," Zhen Yue suggested.
Qian: "That's fine, I'll knead the dough now, mother, you cook."
"it is good."
Xiaohua and the other two were also outside helping to wash radishes. Although they were very slow, they were still helping. They threw some radish leaves into the pigpen and chicken pen to feed them.
Behind the house, the beans and soybean seeds have been planted. If nothing goes wrong, the beans will be ready for picking in a month, and the soybeans should be about the same.
Because they want to make a stone mill, after selling the vegetables today, they will come back and bring back the stones needed for the stone mill.
Recently, because Qiao Chao has to get up early to work the next day, Zhen Yue is the one who gets up to look after the child most of the time at night, but Qiao Chao will also get up to help after hearing the crying.
After dinner and bathing, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. Zhen Yue thought about the recent events where she had seen Qiao Chao and Qiao San learning Chinese characters, so she said, "Doesn't Third Brother have a copy of Thousand Character Classic? Go buy some paper and pen tomorrow after you get the money from selling vegetables, and have Third Brother copy some characters when he's free. I also want to learn to read."
Qiao Chao turned his head to look at her, "You want to learn?"
Zhen Yue frowned and shot at him: "Why, I can't learn?"
Qiao Chao: "No, I have learned a lot of characters from my third brother, I can teach you now."
Zhen Yue: “Okay.” Little Achu had fallen asleep, so Qiao Chao and Zhen Yue sat beside the table, and they used water to learn to write on the table.
"The sky and earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and boundless... the sky is like this, you can learn to write it."
Zhen Yue quickly wrote it down on the table, reading it out loud, "The sky and earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and desolate..."
"The sun waxes and wanes, the stars are in full bloom..."
As he taught her, Qiao Chao discovered that Zhen Yue learned very quickly. She could understand what he wrote once and even write it down. After a while, he asked her again and she actually remembered it.
It was getting late and Qiao Chao had to get up early the next day, so Zhen Yue didn't continue to learn how to sleep.
The next day, Qiao Chao and Qiao Er went to the county town again. Qiao Dashan was making a stone mill at home. Qiao Chao and his friends went to the Song Mansion first and gave them two baskets of radishes.
"Wait a minute, do you have any other dishes besides radish?" Song Tiesheng asked.
Qiao Chao: "Not yet. There should be leeks in a couple of days. And then there should be cabbages."
Song Tiesheng: "Okay, if there are any new vegetables, send them to our Song Mansion first. By the way, you still have two baskets of radishes here, right? You can send some to Liu Mansion, which is in Lihua Lane."
Because Madam Song sent radishes and mustard greens to the Liu Mansion, Madam Liu's appetite improved, so she asked about where to buy the vegetables at the Liu Mansion. Madam Song then instructed Song Tiesheng and Qiao Chao to send some vegetables to the Liu Mansion after they arrived.
"When you go there, just say that the Song Mansion introduced you there."
Qiao Chao: "Okay. Thank you."
"You're welcome, but did you buy a donkey cart?"
Qiao Chao smiled and said, "Yes, I borrowed money to buy it, so it will be more convenient in the future."
Song Tiesheng: "It is more convenient. I don't have to carry so many things in the future."
"correct."
After chatting for a while, Qiao Chao said goodbye to Song Tiesheng. After all, they still had to go to Liu Mansion. When they arrived at Liu Mansion, after knowing that it was the Song Mansion who introduced them, the servants quickly notified Liu Ye.
Liu Ye immediately asked someone to take the money and buy the two remaining baskets of radishes from Qiao Chao's house. Although they were a little more expensive than normal, Liu Ye was very straightforward. After all, it was because of this that Old Madam Liu finally had a little appetite.
Qiao Chao and his friends didn't expect that they would give away all the radishes in one trip. This time they brought more than 150 kilograms of radishes and earned more than 700 coins in total.
Qiao Er: "It feels like a dream." They seemed to be getting better and better.
Qiao Chao: "Let's go buy some seeds and food. Things will get better and better in the future."
