The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 117 Visiting the Master (3)
As soon as he left the town, he found a little beggar behind him.When he walks, the little beggar also walks; when he stops, the little beggar also stops.He stared, but the little beggar was not afraid of him, instead he called his brother and said that he was his sister.Ding Jiabao sent his sister back to the village and set off again.Unexpectedly, Ding's sister chased her barefoot for more than ten miles, scolding her and beating her, she would follow her.In the end, Ding Jiabao couldn't calm down, and carried her all the way to the capital, and brought her into the ancient mansion.

Ding Jiabao couldn't face Ding's younger sister, because Ding's younger sister's appearance followed his mother, who made him unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life.Because of their grievances, the relationship between their brothers and sisters seems to be close to each other, like relatives but not relatives, and it is maintained in a very weird way.

The gloomy mood made the scar on Ding Jiabao's face look even more ferocious.His action of chopping firewood also reveals vigor, venting the anger and sadness in his heart that cannot be expressed to others.

Xu Sanniang, who was about to enter the kitchen, walked around to the back of the kitchen to look for a while, and waved to her daughter who was playing not far away.

Seeing Xiaoya, she quickly pulled Maizi over, "Mother."

Xu Sanniang bent down and whispered to her daughter.

The little girl nodded heavily, pulled Maizi towards Ding Jiabao, calling uncle.

Seeing Ding Jiabao, the gloomy look on his face faded a lot, he put down his axe, "Go slowly, don't trip over." As he said, he took a few big steps forward to meet the two small ones, with both arms Stretching, he easily hugged the two little ones, one left and one right.

Seeing Xu Sanniang, she turned around and left, went back to the kitchen, washed the selected soybeans, and soaked them in cold water.The soybeans fed to the livestock have now become a favorite dish of the whole government.Stir-fried and soaked in salt water are salted beans; raw beans are soaked in water and soaked in water. They can be stewed, stir-fried, or boiled with seasonings and served with some green vegetables to make cold dishes.

Since she had something on her mind, Qing Shu woke up within two quarters of an hour of sleep, took a small notebook that she had listed all kinds of possible ways to make a living, and flipped through them.This is a notepad she cut out of paper and sewed with thread for the convenience of memorizing things.She nodded, it was unexpected to buy the farm and harvest it in autumn.And it was time to implement the purchase of soybeans, red beans and other types of beans that had been planned before.

Now is the season for harvesting beans, and every household will plant some.Compared with grain, the price is quite cheap, and it is easy to store it this season without worrying about bugs or getting damp.

Just when she was thinking about whether to take it to this house or put it on the farm, Xiaoyu came in to report, and the housekeeper invited her to the reception room in the front yard, and a distinguished guest came to the house. Mr. is visiting.

Qing Shu couldn't believe her ears, "Who do you think is visiting?"

"The butler is talking about a master of the generation who is full of peaches and plums in Da'an, Mr. Kong." Xiaoyu repeated.

Qing Shu was stunned, then stood up quickly, "Quick, don't change clothes anymore, you can see something wrong with me, hurry up and tidy up." "By the way, hurry up and tell the young master to go to the front hall to meet Mr. Kong. "

When Qingshu tidied up a bit and arrived at the front hall, Qingyang was visiting Mr. Kong Lao.

Mr. Kong Lao is 79 years old now, and he is a rare longevity person in the world.He has white eyebrows, white beard and white hair, and deep wrinkles engraved by the years on his forehead, but his complexion is healthy and rosy, his back is slightly bent, and his eyes are gentle and wise.Mr. Kong's name is Zhe, his style name is Nian'en, and he was born as a Jinshi. He is a generation of masters in Da'an who are full of peaches and plums.When he was middle-aged, he traveled and studied all over the world, and wrote "You Xue Lu", which is regarded as a treasure by the world.

When they met in front of Weiran Academy, Qingshu didn't know the identity of the old man at the time, but after hearing someone tell her, she realized that the old man was a big shot.Why did such a person come to the small Kangxi Town and their ancient mansion?With such questions in mind, Qing Shu stepped forward to salute and greet Mr. Kong.

Mr. Kong looked at his siblings standing in front of him again and again, he laughed, stroked his gray beard and asked Qing Shu, "I heard that Miss Gu is looking for a private school teacher for my brother, is there such a thing?"

Qing Shu, "Yes, there is such a thing."

Mr. Kong hummed, and asked again: "I heard that Miss Gu has been collecting agricultural books?"

Qing Shu, "There is such a thing." She was suspicious in her heart, she only mentioned this matter to Bu Yuyan, and Bu Yuyan helped her get some agricultural books, but how did the old man across the street know?
Old Mr. Kong asked seriously: "Why does Miss Gu collect agricultural books?"

"Of course it's for farming to support the family." Without thinking, Qing Shu blurted out. After speaking, she was taken aback for a moment, seeing that everyone present was looking at her strangely, so she blinked her beautiful almond eyes, "Food Isn't it the foundation of people's livelihood? If you don't farm, where will you get food? Without food, how can you support your family?" The atmosphere was still strange, and she hesitated, "Why? Isn't it right?"

Qingyang raised a smiling face, "My sister and I read the agricultural book together, and we will farm together in the spring of next year."

Qingshu replied cheerfully, "Okay, Xiaoyang will help my sister farm while studying." Her younger brother can't be a young master who doesn't distinguish between five grains.

Gu Qiang couldn't help coughing, reminding them that there was a distinguished guest.

The siblings quickly restrained themselves and stood up respectfully.

Old Mr. Kong chuckled, "Little boy."

The little book boy standing behind him stepped forward, took out a small cloth bag, unfastened the mouth of the small cloth bag, and put it on the table beside Mr. Kong.

"This is an unknown seed given to him by a disciple of this old man who was given to him by a friend he met on the sea when he was traveling in the Kingdom of Jin. It is said that when this seed is planted, it will bear a small red fruit when it grows. It is bright. One theory is that its fruit is poisonous, and eating it will cause diarrhea, so it can only be used as an ornamental thing; another theory is that eating its fruit can prolong life."

Qingshu was stunned when he heard that, what could be the fruit that is poisonous or prolongs life?There are so many species growing on the earth, who knows what it refers to.Not to mention the ancient times with great limitations, even in modern times, there are many people who don't even know the common crops that grow in the fields.

In modern times, there are convenient transportation and vegetable greenhouses, so a variety of vegetables and fruits from all over the world are gathered in the supermarket, which enriches people's dining tables and at the same time allows people to grow their knowledge.Even so, there are still many, many vegetables and fruits that people don't know.Unless you are a professional, no one can recognize a seed or plant by itself.She didn't think she would know each other, so she didn't move forward.

"This old man is here to make an agreement with Miss Gu." Mr. Kong said unhurriedly.

How did this go to the agreement again?Qing Shu asked suspiciously: "What?"
