The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

Sun Bomin and Dege'er watched the trolley moving up and down with great curiosity.

Sun Dingnan transformed into a tour guide, explaining things in various ways.

Sun Bomin looked at Sun Shan with bright eyes and said happily, "My Shanzi is so clever. He came up with this method, which saves a lot of effort."

Dege'er looked at Sun Shan with a grin: "Shanzi, you really are the smartest young man in Sunjia Village, no, in Zhangzhou Prefecture. Your brains are top-notch. No wonder you are hailed as the first Jinshi of Zhangzhou Prefecture. Well done, Shanzi."

Sun Shan, as arrogant as a rooster, said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, not worth mentioning."

Fortunately, he was speaking in Guangnan dialect. If Wang Ganhua had understood him, he would have rolled his eyes in secret.

Sun Shan, walking in front, said, "Father, once we climb to the top of the mountain, we'll see the bird droppings pit."

So everyone hurried up the mountain. Because a winding path that could accommodate wheelchairs had been built, climbing up was not difficult.

As the village chief walked, he said, "Sir, even if we go back to the village to harvest the rice, we will send people to take turns guarding this place. Don't worry, sir, nothing here will be stolen."

Grandpa Xiao Yazi chimed in, "Sir, the only way to get into the bird guano fertilizer workshop is through Big Bird Village. If strangers come, we'll know. Sir, no one dares to steal from here, much less vandalize it."

The thing I'm least worried about is bird droppings; there's so much bird droppings, I could never steal it all.

Besides, stealing bird droppings is quite difficult, and transporting them out is even more challenging. Even if you did manage to steal bird droppings, you still have to process and produce them. With that kind of effort, you might as well go into the mountains to find other mountain products and sell them to buy bird droppings.

Sun Dingnan also said, "There are people on duty here every night, and it's difficult for outsiders to break in. We also patrol and check the pulleys every day. Everything is well protected. Please rest assured, sir."

Wang Ganhua also came over to take credit: "Sir, even during the busy farming season, those of us who stay at the workshop will not slack off. We will patrol on time according to your regulations to ensure the safety of the workshop and the bird droppings pit."

Sun Shan walked from the bird droppings fertilizer workshop to the bird droppings pit. The area was well-maintained, and the pulleys and tools he saw were intact. The workers who stayed behind were indeed dedicated.

So he praised you without hesitation: "You've done a great job, very good, very good. Keep doing it this way from now on. You can stop work, but the workshop must be well protected to prevent outsiders from coming in and causing damage. You've done a lot, I'm very happy."

What's wrong with saying a few more compliments? It doesn't cost any money anyway.

Sure enough, everyone beamed with joy after hearing Sun Shan's praise.

The village chief and Grandpa Xiaoya's old faces beamed like blooming chrysanthemums, and even Wang Ganhua laughed heartily after hearing the praise.

Even if we lack material civilization, we must at least have spiritual civilization. Wang Ganhua also lost herself in Lord Sun's constant praise and gradually began to like him.

Everyone hurried along and soon reached the top of the mountain. Sun Bomin and Dege'er finally saw the legendary giant bird droppings pit.

The two of them stared wide-eyed, speechless and dumbfounded.

They knew bird droppings pits were large, but they never imagined they were this big. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that such a giant bird droppings pit existed in the world.

The thought that all of this was bird droppings and fertilizer, money, and even more so, food, made Sun Bomin tremble.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Shanzi, the latrine is really huge! The people of Yuanlu can use it for a very, very long time!"

They're truly blessed by God; living next to a giant bird droppings pit, how could they possibly worry about food?

Yuanlu County is truly a wonderful place, blessed with outstanding people and abundant resources, and also possesses a rare treasure.

They are so much luckier than Huangyang County.

At this moment, Sun Bomin was filled with envy and wished he could move the bird droppings pit back to Sunjia Village.

Dege'er also envied the fact that there was such a giant bird droppings pit on the back mountain of Big Bird Village, and admired Sun Shan even more for being able to discover this treasure.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Shanzi, you're really, really amazing! How did you find this place? Wow, Shanzi, I've discovered you're incredibly lucky. Wherever you go, you bring good fortune. Shanzi, I'm telling you, I'll definitely stay by your side and work for you from now on, so I can absorb your good luck!"

Sun Shan rolled his eyes at De Ge'er: "Get back to work and stop talking nonsense."

Gui Ge'er immediately stood up and chimed in: "That's right, De Ge, you better do your job well. You can't just absorb Shan Ge's good fortune whenever you want; it depends on Shan Ge letting you absorb it. If you don't listen, Shan Ge won't let you absorb it."

Sun Shan: ......

That's not what he meant at all.

He clearly meant that Dege was talking nonsense.

Sun Dali, who had been silently protecting Sun Shan, couldn't help but jump out and say, "De Zai, Gui Zai is right. You can't just absorb it whenever you want. You might absorb it and then suffer a backlash, with bad luck following you. It's like eating too much and getting sick from overeating."

Then he said very earnestly, "Master, since I started working for you, I've become more and more prosperous. Master, I want to work for you for the rest of my life."

If not now, when?

The guards who followed shouted, "Master, we want to serve you too, for life!"

Village Chief, Little Yazi's Grandfather, and Wang Ganhua: ......

Why are the people from Sunjia Village so agitated? What are they saying?

If you've already said it, why speak in their native dialect that they can't understand?

Is that polite?

Before Sun Shan could say anything, Sun Bomin excitedly said, "Good, good, good. You can all stay and work by Shanzi's side. I feel at ease entrusting Shanzi to you. We are of the same origin and ancestry, so this is how it should be."

They were clearly talking about a bird droppings pit, so how did it turn into a show of loyalty?

Isn't this topic a bit off-topic?

Shouldn't we be admiring this giant bird droppings pit right now? After all, every glance is precious, bird droppings pits are irreplaceable, once they're gone, they're gone forever.

Actually, bird droppings pits aren't much to look at; they're pitch black and smelly, not worth lingering over for long.

After seeing it enough, Sun Bomin said, "Shanzi, let's go back. Father has achieved his goal of seeing the latrine today. Wow, it's unbelievable that there's such a big latrine. When we get back to Sunjia Village, I'll definitely tell the villagers about it."

Dege'er said excitedly, "Shanzi, such a big bird dropping can definitely be made into a lot of bird dropping fertilizer, hahaha, Shanzi, it's great that the grain production is so high."

He even gave Sun Shan a wink, secretly delighted: No wonder Shanzi made him a grain dealer.

Wow, there's so much grain here! If not a grain merchant, what should I do? Following Shanzi brings me good fortune.

Dege'er's eyes were full of bird droppings, and his mind was filled with thoughts of getting rich.

Hehe, I'm not far from living a life of extravagance and debauchery.

Hehe, just thinking about it makes me happy.
