When Shen Changlin and Gui Shuzhen came back at noon, Hu handed them the deposit given by Liu Xianghe.
When the couple saw so much money, they were astonished as Hu had done before. They had been farming for half their lives and had never seen so much money before.
"Is Xiaochi's ginseng field really selling for so much?" Shen Changlin asked with some disbelief.
"This...doesn't it mean that after a few years of farming, it will become a '10,000-yuan household'?" Gui Shuzhen murmured to herself at the side.
After lunch that day, Shen Changlin started to open up wasteland around the grove, and even Shen Fang was pulled over to help.
Shen Chi was surprised when he saw it and asked: "Dad, what are you doing?"
"Open up wasteland and plant ginseng." Shen Changlin replied without raising his head.
Shen Chi's mouth twitched. His father thought it was so easy to make money growing ginseng. He poured the ginseng with spiritual water containing plant essences, and it would induce birth from time to time.
Nowadays, more and more knowledge points are required for upgrading. It is difficult to upgrade the level, and talent points are rare. And Shen Chi is not the main life, so his energy is very limited. The limit is one acre. No matter how much he adds, he will not be able to spawn.
But seeing that my father was so positive, it was hard to throw cold water on him, so I had to let him go.
Shen Chi came to the woods and secretly activated the "refining technique" to extract the essence of an unknown weed tree. The small tree died quickly.
Shen Chi did not refine more, but only extracted a few trees. He planned to slowly get rid of these wild miscellaneous trees, and then find fruit trees. Killing them all at once would be too conspicuous.
There are more than 40 miscellaneous trees in the grove. If they are all replaced, they can harvest a lot of fruit.
The plant essence of wild miscellaneous trees is not as good as that of salvia miltiorrhiza, and the quality is also very poor. Shen Chi boils it in water and uses it to water vegetables.
The land around the grove is not easy to cultivate. It is full of stones. Before planting, the stones must be cleared.
The three of them could not clear out half an acre of land in one afternoon, but Shen Changlin worked very passionately. Not only was it not too little, he also had time to build a stone wall along the edge of the land with the stones he cleared.
As we were digging and building, time was running out. As more and more stones were dug, the stone wall became longer and taller.
It's a pity that Shen Fang can't help all the time because he has to go to school the next day, but Shen Changlin and Gui Shuzhen are still enthusiastic and go to the back to open space when they have time.
At school, Shen Chi is busy with the city's Mathematical Olympiad competition. Whenever he has time, he is either answering questions or being called to the office for tutoring by Teacher Duan. The principal also attaches great importance to this competition and even went to the city twice to buy special items for Shen Chi. Counseling book.
As a result, Shen Chi got out of school later and later, but no matter how late it was, Sun Tao always waited for him to go home together. The two of them went out and went in together, and their relationship became better and better.
During the intense preparations by the principal, Teacher Duan and Shen Chi, the time for the competition in the city was finally announced. This time it was Teacher Duan who took Shen Chi to participate in the competition.
The competition venue is located in a technical secondary school in the city. Therefore, the technical secondary school is responsible for the allocation and you can make money after you graduate. Unlike high school, you have to take the college entrance examination and you are already in your 23s or 40s after graduation. Therefore, the technical secondary school is better than the high school at this time. It is popular and the admission score is higher than that of high school.
Because they had to transfer from the county seat and there were only a few buses every day, Shen Chi and Teacher Duan set off a day early and found a guest house in the city to stay.
Teacher Duan wanted a common room. There were several bunk beds in one room, sleeping about ten people.
The toilets and washrooms are all in the public area of the corridor, so in terms of comfort, it is not as good as even the later express hotels. But at this time, Shen Chi didn't care about the conditions.
Some people who were on a business trip took off their shoes and went to bed without taking off their clothes and socks. The smell was very strong. Shen Chi didn't know how Teacher Duan survived it. Anyway, Shen Chi was extremely high-spirited and quickly started to breathe. Only then was Shu able to fall asleep.
When they got up early the next morning, Teacher Duan woke up Shen Chi, squeezed some toothpaste for him and asked him to wash his face and brush his teeth quickly. The two of them left the guest house and had breakfast at a breakfast stall, and Teacher Duan sent Shen Chi to the competition venue. .
The competition venue also set up a special resting point for teachers who were traveling with him. Teacher Duan was waiting for Shen Chi at the resting point.
Entering the examination room, Shen Chi got the paper, wrote his name on it, and went through the test questions from beginning to end. Then his brain was running fast and calculations started quickly. He wrote hard and finished answering the questions in half an hour. After checking it twice, I handed in the paper.
When I came out to find Teacher Duan, he asked Shen Chi excitedly: "Is the question difficult?"
"It's okay." So Shen Chi wrote out all the questions based on his memory.
The two chatted while walking. Because they had to rush back to the county town, Teacher Duan bought a few meat buns and went to the canteen to buy two bottles of soda.
Because I was in a hurry to leave, I didn’t buy a glass bottle. I bought a plastic bottle. The plastic bottle was as soft as a hose, but the mouth of the bottle was sealed. You have to use scissors to cut it when drinking. open.
Teacher Duan asked the shop owner to cut open the bottle of sparkling water in his hand, and was about to hand it to Shen Chi when he saw that Shen Chi had instinctively put the mouth of the bottle into his mouth, biting it hard, and kept beating it with both hands. He turned the bottle in circles and bit off the top of the bottle mouth.
Teacher Duan smiled softly and then put the soda in his mouth.
The two of them rushed to the bus station and got on the bus. The teacher ate steamed buns and answered the questions asked by Shen Chimo over and over again.
"The questions this time are a bit difficult, have you finished them all?" Teacher Duan asked Shen Chi.
"It's all done." Shen Chi nodded.
Teacher Duan checked the answers with Shen Chi and found that Shen Chi got them all correct. He became even more excited. There was no problem in winning a prize in this competition.
The two arrived at the county seat and had a good meal while waiting for the bus. At 4:30 in the afternoon, they took the bus back to Song Town. It was already dinner time when they said goodbye and went home.
Seeing that there were no accidents in this competition, both Hu and Gui Shuzhen breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm finally back. Your mother and I have been worried for two days, just afraid of another accident."
Obviously, what happened to Wang Mingjie last time scared everyone.
Mrs. Hu wanted to serve Shen Chi a meal, but Shen Chi quickly said that he had already eaten.
He ate late in the afternoon and he is not hungry yet.
"It will be great when I can participate in competitions like you." Sun Tao said with envy.
"If you study hard, you will definitely be able to participate in competitions in the future." Shen Chi encouraged.
At this time, Shen Fang could only eat in silence, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
While everyone was eating, Shen Chi fetched a bucket of water and went to the grove behind the house. He first used the refining technique to extract the essence of several miscellaneous trees, diluted it and used it to water the orchid grass, and then stimulated the growth of salvia.
When I was about to enter the house, I saw that my parents had opened more than half an acre of wasteland around the grove, and a stone wall seven or eight meters long and more than a foot high had been built next to it.
It seems that his father and others are very persistent about growing ginseng. Shen Chi secretly murmured in his heart. This chapter has been completed!
