Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 51: Resentment

The next night, Wen Qing took out the test papers she had copied the previous night and showed them to everyone, saying, "This is the test paper I found in the past few months. We will do one set every day, and then check each other's papers and correct the mistakes."

Although Wen Qing had done it once, she had just finished the textbook and had not reviewed it thoroughly, so she made many mistakes.

After redoing the test this time, Wen Qing felt that she had a deeper understanding of the questions, and better understood the intentions and test points of the test setter. She also did a better job and made basically no mistakes.

After finishing the test, everyone corrected their mistakes. Wen Qing wrote down the test points involved and explained them to everyone.

Wu Ying said happily: "Sister Xiaoqing, now that you've explained it to me, I understand why I answered the question that way."

Wen Qing added: "If everyone feels that there is no problem with this review method, we can divide the work and each person will be responsible for reviewing the questions for one day."

Wu Qing also agreed, "Xiao Qing is right, teaching and learning go hand in hand, and it will be more memorable if you explain it yourself."

Luo Yixing finally came out of his depressed state and said, "I wrote to my classmates in the city. Some of my classmates are teachers in schools. I asked them to help find the high school test papers."

When spring comes, Wen Qing tells the five people in the tea garden about raising chickens in the tea garden.

Now, every family can raise 2 or 3 chickens. Wen Qing caught 2 chicks herself, built a chicken coop, and raised them in the tea garden.

Zheng Xiaoqiang and several others raised two chickens each. Every morning they let the chickens out in the tea garden, and then drove them back to their own chicken coops at night.

After four months of raising, the chicks have grown into adult chickens and most of the hens have started laying eggs. Wen Qing can collect three eggs every two days on average, and the same is true for the chickens raised by others.

Wen Qing found the team leader and told him about raising chickens in the tea garden. Since several people had raised chickens according to their respective quotas, the team did not interfere.

Wen Qing said: "Captain, raising chickens in the tea garden can ensure the growth of tea trees as long as the number is controlled, the chicken manure is cleaned up properly, and pests and diseases are prevented. Besides, it will take two years for the tea trees to show benefits. Raising some chickens now can reduce the cost of raising tea trees."

She carefully told the team leader how to raise chickens in the tea garden, and finally said: "Zheng Xiaoqiang and Liu Manxia have done it very skillfully. We can divide the tea garden into several areas for free-range breeding."

He added, "Raising chickens is better in summer. Captain, you can find a few chicken-raising experts to raise chickens together with Xiaoqiang and Manxia."

Team leader Lin said: "We still need to inform the commune about this matter, and also calculate how many chickens are appropriate to raise."

Wen Qing: "On the hillside, we can raise 30 to 40 chickens per mu of land. In the tea garden, we can raise fewer chickens, maybe 20. Now we raise 18 chickens per mu of land."

Captain Lin still hopes that the villagers can live a better life, so he reclaimed a tea garden and increased the number of pigs in the pig farm. Now he hears that chickens can be raised in the tea garden, and he is actually very happy.

Their village has 15 acres of tea garden, which is enough to raise about 300 chickens. He plans to ask the commune for permission.

Except for the most tiring times of spring sowing and summer harvest, the study group always insists on studying every night.

In July, the recommended candidates for the workers, peasants and soldiers college students were finally announced. Although they were not made public, the news spread quickly. There were three people from Xiangyang Commune and only one from Xiangyang Village, You Manli.

Everyone at the educated youth site was shocked to hear the news. Luo Yixing's eyes were red, "Why? Why?" He had also signed up, although he didn't have any hopes and didn't expect it to be You Manli.

Wu Ying also said privately: "You Manli is lazy and uneducated, yet she became a worker-peasant-soldier college student!"

Wu Qing didn't say anything. The niece of the secretary of their commune's middle school was also one of the three people this time.

Li Wei counseled Luo Yixing, "Don't be angry, I was born with talent and it will be useful. Even if she goes to university, she won't learn anything with her level."

Wen Qing also advised: "All roads lead to Rome, and the one who laughs last laughs best."

Luo Yixing slowly calmed down, worked silently, and studied more seriously. Wen Qing nodded secretly and felt relieved.

Luo Yixing did not give up just because he could not see the light for the time being. It is truly commendable that he could withstand pressure without becoming discouraged.

Wen Qing quietly found Luo Yixing and said, "Brother Luo, my friend told me that the higher-ups are considering reinstating the college entrance examination. Don't be discouraged."

Luo Yixing's eyes lit up, "Wen Qing, is it true?"

Wen Qing: "There is such a rumor, but I don't know if it is true. But don't tell anyone."

Luo Yixing: "Okay, I'll keep it a secret."

At first, Wen Qing thought Luo Yixing had a quirky personality, but after getting to know him for a long time, she realized that he was down-to-earth and had a strong character. It really is true that one cannot judge a book by its cover.

After the summer harvest, Wen Qing went to the grape valley in the mountains, picked all the grapes there, and made wine.

Wen Qing brewed 2 liters last year, most of which was stored in oak barrels. Only 5000 bottles were filled and sold out before the Spring Festival.

Another 2 liters were brewed this year, and with the inventory, we now have more than 3 liters. The main reason is that sales are still very limited at present.

The tea garden in the space is already capable of large-scale picking. She has not yet developed a tea-picking machine, so she can only harvest by hand. Of course, her tea gardens are all planted in a standardized manner, with the height and spacing of the plants being appropriate, so she can also use a tea-picking machine to harvest in the future.

It took Wen Qing ten days to pick all the tea in the 20-acre tea garden. The picked tea leaves could not be kept for a long time, so she lit a fire, set up a big pot, poured the selected young leaves into it, and then withered, rolled, and dried them according to her method to make raw tea.

After harvesting all the tea in the 20 acres of tea garden, the raw tea will be piled up for fermentation. This time she is making Pu'er tea. All the tea leaves are piled up into a trapezoid and allowed to generate heat and ferment. Wen Qing will make plans after seeing the results of this batch of tea.

After the summer harvest, the village organized everyone to plant rice. The farm work would be easier afterwards, but the crops in her space were also ripe. Wen Qing felt that her life was too miserable. Not only did she have to do farm work outside the space, but the land in the space also needed to be cultivated.

However, she now has mental strength, so she can do some farm work that is not strenuous but time-consuming, and she can also use farm machinery to do those strenuous tasks, which is enough to complete the cultivation of hundreds of acres of land in the space.

这次空间里的240亩地一共收获了6000斤稻谷、7000斤小麦、4000斤玉米,2000斤高粱。

As for raising chickens and rabbits, she used all her mental power. Currently, there are more than 600 chickens and more than 1000 rabbits in the space. Wen Qing decided to sell some of them.

At night, she packed up the things she wanted to sell and placed them in one place. When she needed to take them out, she would use the backpack as a cover to take them out directly.

On the market day, Wen Qing got up early, carrying a backpack, and walked from the village to Shangyi Town. When he arrived at Shangyi Town, he took the first bus to Luchun County.

Along the way, the morning mist had not yet dissipated. On the road halfway up the mountain, Wen Qing looked up at Luchun County on the top of the mountain. The milky white morning mist shrouded Luchun County, and only the houses on the mountain could be vaguely seen, their shadows as if in the sky.

After arriving in Luchun County, Wen Qing first went to a remote place, put on makeup, dressed up as a middle-aged woman, and wore a hat commonly worn by local ethnic minority women on her head. She put her backpack on the ground, took out a bag of rice, a bag of wheat, and a bag of corn, and waited for guests to come.

After the summer harvest, the food shortage situation improved slightly. Not only did grain stations across the country purchase grain, but workers from nearby factories and long-distance drivers from other places would go to the countryside to buy more grain. There was no problem of not being able to sell grain at all.

Wen Qing sold 400 kilograms of rice, 300 kilograms of wheat, and 500 kilograms of corn in half a day. She felt that this was still too slow, so she changed into the makeup of a dark and thin middle-aged man, found Lao Yu, and sold him 3000 kilograms of rice, 5000 kilograms of wheat, and 3000 kilograms of corn. Lao Yu did not want the sorghum, and she earned a total of 2500 yuan.

Old Yu was short of cash, so he gave her ten taels of gold and 1000 yuan in cash.

Now she has 5 yuan in cash and is waiting to buy a courtyard house in Beijing after the reform and opening up.

She thought that after the reform and opening up, if she failed to get into university, she would not return to the city, but would contract a piece of forest in the countryside to plant trees and tea, and her life would not be difficult.
