Chapter 177 - Shimoda
Tofu in this era was relatively simple, and there were not many ways to eat it. There were soft tofu and dried tofu, and smoked dried tofu was the most common in farmers.
Jiang Yan took out the dried smoked tofu that Lin Gensheng gave her last time and fried a large plate with bacon. She also cut today's tender tofu into squares and made two large plates of Mapo tofu.
The sound of cooking and a tangy spicy smell came from the kitchen. Even Qiao Le, who was a few neighbors away, could smell the tempting aroma. He was already full at noon, but now he was surprised.
I feel hungry again.
He sniffed it sheepishly and murmured in his mind that the food cooked by farmers in this village was so delicious.
In the evening, the three families finally gathered together. A group of people sat around the yard. The two large plates of Mapo tofu on the table attracted everyone's greed. The tofu in the porcelain plate was fried piece by piece, so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside that it was golden.
The torn parts on the outside are all milky white and soft, the fiery red soup is thick and envelops each piece of tofu, and the thinly chopped chili is garnished like a blooming plum blossom.
"This is Qiao Le. The gentleman I invited back from the town is also a scholar. From now on, he will teach a few children to read." Jiang Yan introduced her. She had already briefly told the others about Qiao Le's identity.
Pass.
"Xiao Wen, I remember you said that Mr. Qiao has great literary talent and you are about to take the college entrance exam. Mr. Qiao has experience, so you can learn from him more."
Jiang Wen immediately stood up and saluted Qiao Le. His eyes were full of joy and his attitude was respectful and humble: "It is a blessing for students to have Master Qiao to give advice. I need more help from you in the past and even more so in the future."
Mr. Trouble, please give me some advice."
No one present knew Qiao Le's literature better than Jiang Wen. He had been hand-copying copies to Boss Qiao for some years. According to his understanding, Qiao Le's knowledge was considered to be higher than that of the masters who taught them in the academy. These
No matter what questions he raised in Nian, they were always answered, but Boss Qiao didn't want to be famous and kept aloof from the world, and he was too embarrassed to bother him too much before.
But it will be different in the future. Boss Qiao has become Master Qiao of Linjia Village, and he can also be his student!
Qiao Le was also very happy. He was very optimistic about Jiang Wen. Jiang Wen had a broad mind, extraordinary knowledge, and a kind heart. If Jiang Wen became a parent official under his training, it would definitely benefit both parties.
"I have been entrusted by Aunt Jiang. Since I am your master, I will teach you everything I have. I will give you a simple test first to find out your background, so that I can adjust the teaching method according to each person's foundation."
He has not many people to teach, so he can educate each person according to their basic level and find out the plan and method that suits them.
Lin Xi's expression changed: "Do I have to take the exam first before eating? I...I can already write my own name, but there are still many words that I don't recognize, and neither does it..."
After he finished speaking, Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaomeng also fell out with each other. The trio looked at each other and saw the words "So you are just like me" in each other's eyes.
Jiang Yan smiled and pinched Lin Xi's naive face: "Mr. Qiao, we have a long day to come. We have been tired of traveling and traveling today. Let's eat first and have a good rest. You will take the test tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Let's eat first. If the food is cold, we won't eat."
It’s delicious.”
After dinner, Jiang Yan chatted with everyone about late rice again. Now the seedlings are ready for transplanting. The newly purchased 30 acres of land have been carefully planted by the people invited. The land belonging to Lao Wu and Lin Yousheng's family has also been planted.
The preparations were almost complete, so I got stuck on the time and decided it would be three days later.
On the day of transplanting the seedlings, the ten workers hired by Lin Nan arrived early. Before dawn, the family took the workers to the warehouse to pull out the seedlings and then sent them to the fields.
The two daughters-in-law found a few familiar women in the village to cook lunch at home, because the workers were provided with a lunch, and they had done this before when building a factory, so the two of them were already familiar with the business.
Several brothers from the Lin family, including Lin Bei and Lin Feng, all went to the fields with Jiang Yan, and even Xiaodouzi was no exception. Shangguan Zixuan and Wangcai both went to the fields when they saw Xiaodouzi. Naturally, they were not left behind. This time, it can be said that everyone
Move out.
"Little Douzi, be careful, don't fall into the field!"
When the seedlings were delivered to the field, it was bright and tightly wrapped. The little bean, which was like a small rubber ball, held a small handful of seedlings and stuck out its butt in the field to imitate the adults in planting the seedlings.
The family first planted five acres of land in the village, and hired ten people to take care of the thirty acres of land outside the village. The seedlings were transported by oxcart at dawn in the morning and placed in the field with water.
, thirty acres of land, with seedlings piled on every acre.
The Lin family's wages are high. Although they can save lunch money this time, it is better for them as hard laborers to pack a lunch, because if they bring it at home, they won't be able to eat well and have no energy in the afternoon. If they go back to eat, it will waste time. I heard
Lunch was included and everyone was full of energy.
"Want to try Tian?" Jiang Yan asked Qiao Le.
Qiao Le frowned slightly and looked at the people planting rice seedlings at regular intervals in the field. Each person occupied a lane, and the rice seedlings were five or six inches apart. They planted rice seedlings quickly and accurately. He saw that
My eyes are hot, looking at the rows of neat and green seedlings, I have the urge to go to the fields.
He felt like he could do it too...
"Let's go! Let's go too! Wangcai, help me quickly!"
Shangguan Zixuan and Wang Cai hurriedly rolled up their trousers. They had stayed in Linjia Village for so many days and were now used to the clothes of the Lin family brothers. Even if they were patched, they didn't care. Instead, they were excited.
They waved to Jiang Yan, already impatient, waiting for Jiang Yan to allow them to go to the fields.
Jiang Yan looked at the little fat man who was getting used to it the more he lived in the village, and the more he lived in the village, the higher he got. She held her forehead speechlessly: "Go, go! Be careful and don't fall in the field. Let me tell you, everything in this field is..."
It’s Yoneden, if you’re not careful you’ll be the first person to eat shit in Linjia Village!”
"I know, I know! I won't fall! Don't worry, aunt!"
"I will take good care of the young master!"
The two of them walked to the fields nonchalantly, looking for Xiaodouzi. Here, Qiao Le had already rolled up his trouser legs to his knees. After hearing Jiang Yan's words, "The fields are full of rice fields,"
He put it back calmly.
Jiang Yan looked at his little move and smiled unhappily: "Mr. Qiao, what's wrong? Aren't you going?"
Qiao Le's face turned pale, a blush appeared on his handsome face, and he said in a dry voice: "I won't go on. I haven't done it before and have no experience, so I won't go and make trouble for everyone."
Jiang Yan laughed meaningfully, and the hearty voice echoed in Qiao Le's ears, making him blush even more. Jiang Yan didn't tease him, and went to the field to mind her own business. She knew that Qiao Le had some germaphobia, otherwise she wouldn't have done it on purpose.
