The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

After dinner, Zhou Mingshu had nothing to do, so he picked out some green peppercorns, washed them to remove impurities, and then drained the water.

While the peppercorns are still fresh, she plans to make some green pepper oil so that she can add some to her cooking in the future, especially to cold dishes.

Summer is the time to eat cold dishes. If not now, when? !

After washing the pot, she took out the oil can and added about two pounds of lard and one pound of green peppercorns, which was just the right ratio.

"Saya, what are you doing?"

After Mrs. Zhou settled the rabbit, she came over and washed her hands.

"Grandma, my second sister and I picked a lot of green peppercorns. I'll make some green peppercorn oil. We can add a little bit when we mix vegetables, or when we stir-fry."

"Okay, then you do it. Do you need my help?"

"No, no, I'll be done in a moment, you can do other things."

After Mrs. Zhou left, she was the only one left in the kitchen and could do whatever she wanted.

She turned down the stove fire and simmered it slowly, slowly drying out the moisture in the green peppercorns. The peppercorn oil made in this way can be kept for a year without going bad.

While simmering the food, Zhou Mingshu kept an eye on the oil temperature and smelled it from time to time, waiting for the fresh and spicy flavor of the green peppercorns to be slowly released.

The pepper oil slowly boiled in this way will not be bitter or sour.

After half an hour, the green peppercorns in the pot had a few cracks and were floating, which meant that the green peppercorn oil was ready.

Pour all the oil in the pot into the prepared bowl, cover with gauze, soak for a day and then filter it. The green pepper oil is now ready.

The light yellow-green green pepper oil in the bowl looks very delicious, but if you taste it, your tongue will feel numb.

After putting the things in the closet, the sun was just setting outside.

"Grandma, when will uncle and dad come back? They won't not come back today, right?"

Zhou Mingshu saw that they were still nowhere to be found at home.

"It's hard to say. It depends on whether they have finished their work. If they haven't finished, they may not come back. Your uncle's house has a place to stay, and it would be troublesome to run back and forth."

Zhou Mingshu nodded, thinking that this was possible.

She fetched some water and went back to the house to take a shower, then carried her dirty clothes to the back of the house.

Washing clothes was secondary, she mainly wanted to see if there was anything in the fish basket.

When I pulled up the fish basket, I saw that in addition to snails and leeches, there were also two small eels. The rest were just some small fish that I couldn't eat at all.

Without her feeding, it seems that no big fish will be caught.

Zhou Mingshu picked up a small basin of snails, which were neither too big nor too small, perfect for stir-frying.

I’ll go back and spit out the sand for two days, and then pick two peppers... It’s exciting just thinking about it.

"Saya, you've packed up so quickly. I haven't even taken a shower yet."

"Take a shower early and rest early. There's nothing to do anyway."

"That's true, but it's getting early now, and everyone is here, so why don't you teach us a few new words? We already know what we learned last time."

Zhou Mingshu smiled when he heard that. "Okay, I thought everyone was a little tired recently, but I didn't expect you guys to like learning so much. Then go call some people, I'll wipe the blackboard, and we'll learn something different today."

"Okay~"

Zhou Mingqi went out to call for help, while Zhou Mingshu wiped the blackboard with a rag.

It is not enough to just learn characters; you have to learn some arithmetic, which will make it more convenient for you to do business in the future.

After a while, everyone in the family, big and small, came over holding blackboards.

Zhou Mingshu cleared his throat and began, "Let's learn something different. Today we won't learn characters, but arithmetic. When we go out to buy and sell things, we will definitely have to do some accounting. If we learn this arithmetic, we won't be cheated, and we can also bargain effectively..."

"Oh, this is good. It's not easy to suffer losses this way."

"Yes, what Big Sister said is right. We don't have to worry about accounting when doing business in the future. Okay, let's get started."

周明书拿起粉笔在黑板上写下，‘0、1、2、3……10’

"These numbers are called Arabic numerals. They are easier to remember in our daily lives. Of course, we can also record them in writing, but it is more time-consuming. We need to learn both..."

Everyone nodded and began to practice these 'Arabic numerals' following Zhou Mingshu's notes.

"Sister, why is this number called this? It sounds so weird." Zhou Mingyuan scratched his head, feeling that the name didn't sound like that of the people from the Central Plains.

"It's a little strange, but we have to show some respect. Although the name doesn't sound nice, it is very useful in practice. You will understand it after you learn it. We should absorb good things and deny bad things. This is called 'taking the essence and discarding the dross'."

Seeing that his sister was speaking seriously, Zhou Mingyuan nodded. He felt that his sister was so profound during the class that he sometimes had the illusion that he was taking a teacher's class.

Because everyone is older, their ability to learn new things is much stronger.

Zhou Mingshu taught addition and subtraction within 3, mainly to let them experience the charm of numbers.

Before the math class was over, Wang Xiaodan came over with Xu Lingshan.

What was different from last time was that they also brought two bundles of grass, and it was obvious that they were here to feed the donkey.

Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes.

They didn't know that the little donkey was not at home today.

Hearing that the little donkey had gone somewhere else, Xu Lingshan's face was full of disappointment, "It's over, I can't feed the little donkey anymore."

"It doesn't matter. The donkey is not here, but we still have rabbits at home. Rabbits also love to eat grass."

Zhou Mingjie, this clever little guy, immediately found a suitable reason to keep the person.

The two girls thought about it and realized it was true.

"Okay, now that we're here and the grass has been cut, let's feed it to the rabbits."

A group of people put down the small blackboard and went to the backyard. On the way, Wang Xiaodan mentioned that the Zhou family was learning to read. She happened to see them in class just now, which made Xu Lingshan very envious.

This is about learning to read, something everyone in the village wants to know.

"Cousin, I have learned a character from you. It is the character for '王' in my family. It is very easy to write. 'Three horizontal lines and one vertical line'."

Wang Xiaodan took Xu Lingshan's hand and wrote the word "Wang" on the palm of her hand.

Seeing that her cousin could write, Xu Lingshan was very envious. When she returned home, she would ask her cousin to write for her again. She would appreciate every word she could recognize.

When a few people came to the rabbit pen, they were stunned.

Yesterday it was a rabbit, today it is... one, two, three, four, five!

There are five in total!

"What... is going on? How come there are four more all of a sudden?" Wang Xiaodan was very confused.

"Hahaha, isn't this a coincidence? Today, my brother and I went to the mountains to play and came across a rabbit hole with rabbits. The extra ones were caught by us. Aren't we awesome?"

After Zhou Mingjie explained the situation clearly, Wang Xiaodan and Xu Lingshan looked at them with surprise and admiration.
