Eating big melon is so refreshing

Chapter 15: Popular Toys

There is a saying: If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade.

Li Datou and Luo Xiaopang were thinking about checkers, so they came to play with the twins the next day. As the youngest son of the family, they were laid down at birth, and the family did not need them to do anything great, as long as they were not particularly wasteful.

Those adults tried their best to get into Young Master Mingyue's circle, but when their youngest son accidentally broke in, as the elders, they must have been ecstatic and agreed readily.

In just one night, the secrets of Jiang Tang's family were exposed. There were four ordinary adults and smart twin siblings. Even though they were only four years old, even the eldest son who was specially trained by their family might not be as good as them at the age of five.

Although agricultural books are not serious books for imperial examinations, it is impressive that one can put what he has learned into practice. How could a person who can make friends with Master Mingyue be an ordinary person?

"Xiao Chunzi, what kind of dish is this?"

"Melon seedlings."

"I've never seen it before."

"Put melon seedlings in the noodles when cooking, it tastes good."

Why are you talking so much? Just take a bite and you will know. Li Datou and Luo Xiaopang, who had never eaten melon seedlings before, were very impressed by this way of eating them together. They even took two handfuls of melon seedlings home.

The masters of the Li and Luo mansions also greatly appreciated the new crop. They bought all the melon seedlings on the two acres and ordered a batch of cloth from Jiang Tang's house for the change of season. The maids and servants of the wealthy families were not only provided with food and accommodation, but also with new clothes.

The Jiang family's fabrics became famous inadvertently, and the embroidery shops had no way to suppress them, so their owners had no choice but to bow their heads and seek cooperation.

Jiang Tang refused, saying that the paints were obtained by the two children. If the secret was exposed, the two children would be in danger.

Zhao Erlang also thought of this and only told others that the paint was almost used up and the supplier was unstable and unable to supply normally.

Xiao Chunya and Xiao Qiulin used the dye grass that could be found in this era to study. They had realized the crisis brought about by getting rich quickly. Don't underestimate the IQ of the ancients.

Chicken Eating Rice and Checkers became all the rage. One was just for fun, the other required intelligence. In order to better promote checkers, the twins set up a stall in front of the county school to play checkers.

Students who were able to study now would not be short of thirty cents. They used special means to promote the game on specific occasions and at specific times, and sold one hundred boxes of checkers in just three days.

Then counterfeits came online one after another. The quality was not very good, and the colors were even worse, but they were cheap. A box of authentic checkers cost thirty coins, while these counterfeit ones only cost ten coins. As you can imagine, the counterfeit ones won.

Xiao Chunya snorted. It was so terrible in the ancient times when there were no trademark rights. Counterfeits were everywhere.

"Harvesting wheat after the Dragon Boat Festival?" Xiao Chunya suddenly thought of Mai Chuozi and said, "Dad, let's go home and harvest wheat this year."

"You two are too young to go. Dad can go back alone." Zhao Erlang was reluctant to let his two children work in the fields. Harvesting wheat is the hardest farm work. If the children did not work in the fields after returning to the village, they would definitely be accused of being unfilial.

"We have to go. We are four years old, not three-year-old children." Xiao Chunya said, "Grandpa and grandma must want to see us too."

Zhao Erlang could not ignore his fat daughter's request, so he discussed it with his wife Jiang, hoping that she would stop the child from returning to the village at such a sensitive time.

Jiang said, "Summer harvest is the hardest. We should go back to help. Even if the two children don't go to the fields, they can help prepare meals."

"Yuniang, you are so kind." Zhao Erlang couldn't help but touch his wife's hand, feeling that his life was perfect.

I was fed a lot of dog food for no reason. The women around me have opinions about their men. I have given so much to your family, but you haven't even praised me. You are such a fool!

In her previous life, Xiao Chunya had visited a wheat base in the countryside. She learned that farmers in ancient times harvested wheat during the hottest time of the year. Harvesting wheat was also the hardest part of the farm work and often cost them a lot of money. You can imagine how hard it was.

"Father, what are you going to use to harvest the wheat?"

Xiao Chunya needs to confirm the tools of this dynasty, so as not to make a fool of herself later.

"Use a sickle." Seeing his daughter so excited, Zhao Erlang told his daughter and son about his experience of harvesting wheat in previous years.

A picture appeared in front of everyone. Under the scorching sun, a row of men from the Zhao family, wearing long sleeves and long pants, kept bending down to harvest wheat, then bundled the wheat and put it aside. They repeated this work until all the thirty acres of wheat were harvested.

Under the scorching sun, everyone is sweating profusely. If the weather is bad, the whole family, young and old, will go out to the fields to harvest, otherwise all six months of hard work will be wasted.

"Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the product of hard work." Xiao Chunya concluded, "So we have to go back to help grandpa and grandma harvest the wheat, and my younger brother will come to work."

"Where are you going? Don't touch those sickles.

Be careful not to cut your hands." Zhao Erlang didn't want the children to touch those sharp farm tools.

"I don't know how to sharpen a sickle, so my brother and I made a small tool specifically for harvesting wheat." Xiao Chunya said, "Let me think about what it is called?"

"Mai Chuozi."

Xiao Qiulin said quietly, "I can do this. Can I also get a thresher?"

"Can you do it?" Xiao Chunya said, "You can't even weave a wheat basket, stop bragging."

What were the two little guys talking about? Zhao Erlang didn't understand a word of it. He knew his son had been reading agricultural books during this period, so he flipped through them and found the pictures were really beautiful, but he couldn't understand what was written inside.

Wait a minute, Zhao Erlang was surprised to find that the fat girl could also understand the meaning of the words in the book. The two little ones were talking about proportions and arcs, so why couldn't he understand a word?

Isn't his fat girl only interested in eating? When did she become interested in books? Children should play. Why do they have so many books for their little ones? They will become bald!

Zhao Erlang, who himself had a poor childhood, decided to let his children have a rich childhood so that they would not have regrets when they grow up.

Young Master Mingyue stood aside with a flickering look in his eyes. He felt that he could also participate. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was immediately bombarded by the twin brother and sister.

"How can you say that about Master Yue? It's really too much."

"Jiang Xiaocao, who allowed you to enter my house?"

Xiao Chunya's fire shifted the target. "If you come in without an invitation, you will be considered a thief. Do you want to be a thief?"

"I didn't, I didn't, you're talking nonsense." Xiaocao looked at Young Master Mingyue with a face full of grievance, her expression was like a little white flower.

"eighteen."

"Yes." Eighteen, who was standing aside as a backdrop, picked up Xiaocao with both hands and threw him out of the door. He was so young but he knew how to use tricks. Unfortunately, his master didn't fall for it.
