Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

The pepper seeds needed this time were not bought directly from Qiqi, after all, Qiqi was too dark.

Instead, I bought some dried chilies in the supermarket and looked up some information in the bookstore.

How to make purple pepper seeds germinate.

First, remove the pepper seeds from the peppers.

Soak the chili seeds in water for another day to increase the germination rate. Take out the soaked chili seeds and place them on a paper towel or breathable gauze.

Cover with another layer and wet it completely, then put it in a transparent sealable bag, but do not seal it.

Then place it where it can get sunlight. When the sun shines on it, water vapor will increase in the wind bag, which can perfectly increase the temperature.

It takes a long time for peppers to germinate, usually 4-7 days, so be patient.

Xia Shengsheng has been busy these days, restoring the two acres of destroyed land.

A new drainage system has also been built to ensure that the roots of the pepper seedlings will not rot due to waterlogging in the fields.

Sicheng is still quite conscientious. Seeing that Xia Shengsheng has been very busy these days and has not gone out to play much, Sicheng follows Xia Shengsheng around to help.

Although I can’t do anything big due to my age, it is still very convenient to use when running errands or getting something.

The Ma family and the Li family's Xia Shengsheng have been very busy these days.

During the lunch break, they would take turns to prepare lunch for Xia Shengsheng and her daughter, and they would ask their family to deliver their own meals to Xia Shengsheng so as not to delay his work in the afternoon.

This saved Xia Shengsheng a lot of trouble, and she was very grateful.

……

In Master Zhu’s private school.

Ye Chaocai had only studied with Master Zhu for a few days when he was praised many times in public by Master Zhu.

This also aroused the jealousy of some people.

This day, during the class break.

Ercheng ran to find Ye Chao, and there were a lot of people surrounding them.

Some came to ask Ye Chao for advice, while others wanted Er Cheng to teach him some martial arts moves.

It made the two of them feel like they were the center of attention.

Liu Zhongqiang, who was always fond of spending money lavishly and treating guests, had not received enough money from his family recently, so his classmates followed the crowd and ran to Ye Chao and Ercheng, following them like followers.

Liu Zhongqiang sat alone in the corner of the classroom, his eyes full of indignation.

Listening to everyone's discussions.

There were lively cheers from time to time.

Liu Zhongqiang finally couldn't sit still anymore.

He stood up from his seat, walked over to everyone, and spoke loudly.

"What's so great about them? One is a wild child that no one wants, and the other is a lowly creature who doesn't even have a father and still wants to be subservient to me. Are they worthy of your flattery?"

Liu Zhongqiang's voice attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Liu Zhongqiang didn't realize that he was actually a little scared, but he still stood there with his neck stiff, pretending to be calm.

Ercheng and Ye Chao pushed aside their classmates on both sides and walked straight to Liu Zhongqiang.

The revealing look made Liu Zhongqiang a little scared.

"What did you say? Who is the unwanted wild child? Who is the bastard? Explain clearly, make it clear!"

Liu Zhongqiang was about to retreat, but when he saw so many people around him looking at him without blinking,

It would be embarrassing to retreat at this time, so he could only straighten his chest again, as if he was not afraid of Ye Chao and Er Cheng's power at all.

"What's wrong with you two? You two are just wild kids, bastards. Even your mother is not a good person. In just a few months, she has enough money to build a house and send you to school. Who knows what shameful business she has done?..."

Liu Zhongqiang heard these words from Old Lady Liu, and was influenced by them through observation and exposure, so they seemed to speak casually.

But before he could finish, the next second, Ye Chao and Er Cheng climbed on top of him and started beating him.

When Liu Zhongqiang scolded them, the two of them were not that angry and did not want to really fight.

But when it comes to their mothers, they really can't bear it.

Seeing this, some people around stepped forward to dissuade them, while others hid behind and said nothing.

In fact, many people dislike Liu Zhongqiang.

He has studied under Master Zhu for several years, but he has not learned very well and he always acts self-righteous.

It seems like he doesn't care about anyone.

There are some people who are willing to follow Liu Zhongqiang because he is generous. He often buys snacks for his classmates and occasionally takes them out for delicious food.

As the saying goes, one who takes something from someone else is grateful, and one who eats someone else's food is soft-hearted. For the sake of a bite of food, they were happy to praise Liu Zhongqiang highly.

This also led to Liu Zhongqiang often not being able to recognize his position.

Especially in a situation like now, it is obviously not unfair to get beaten.

The noise here was also heard by Master Zhu, who was drinking tea in the backyard.

By the time he arrived at the front yard, Liu Zhongqiang had been beaten beyond recognition.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you still have the status of a scholar?"

Only after Master Zhu scolded them did the two men stop.

In fact, the two men had already calculated that the fight was almost over, and even if Master Zhu didn't call for a stop, they would stop.

You can't kill someone, you have to know your limits.

"What's going on? Oh my! How did you beat him up like this? You two! What are you doing?"

Master Zhu has been teaching for so many years, and he has seen many cases of conflicts, quarrels, and even fights among children.

But there is no mention of beating people so severely.

There was no time to ask more questions, so they quickly asked a few older children to help carry the man to the clinic, to prevent anything from happening to him.

Along the way, Master Zhu kept thinking to himself that he must not keep these two troublesome kids when he returns. How could they beat people like this?

But when he arrived at the clinic and the doctor examined Liu Zhongqiang, he felt relieved.

It turned out that Liu Zhongqiang's injury only looked serious, but it was all superficial injuries, with no damage to his bones or lungs.

Just need to rest for a while.

After hearing this, Master Zhu finally had time to ask the children who came with him what had just happened.

Among these children, two of them particularly looked down on Liu Zhongqiang, but the others were relatively fair.

He told the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, Master Zhu also understood that this incident was caused by Liu Zhongqiang.

So what if I study? Who can tolerate others insulting their parents? Their own relatives.

So, it’s not unfair to get beaten.

That's right, if he spends money, he will have to ask those two troublemakers to pay for it later.

He doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

But as for dropping out of school, the people who should drop out have changed.

When it comes to Liu Zhongqiang's ability in scholarship, Master Zhu doesn't think highly of him at all.

But he couldn't resist the pleading of Grandma Liu, and he could also collect more money.

There are only advantages and no disadvantages in keeping him in the private school.

Anyway, he cannot be held responsible whether he passes the exam or not.

But it’s different now. Liu Zhongqiang has been too fond of causing trouble recently.

Apart from this incident, I had always had unpleasant experiences with my classmates before.

I have reminded him many times, but he is not focusing on his studies at all. If I keep him any longer, it might affect other students studying with him.

That would be a waste of time.

Master Zhu asked the doctor in the clinic to prescribe some medicine and also told him some precautions.

He also hired an ox cart and prepared to send Liu Zhongqiang back personally.

After all, if something goes wrong here, he always has to go and explain in person.
