Shen Jia waved his hand, "No need. She's just a bit sharp with her words. It wouldn't be that fun if you exposed her."

As she spoke, she was still looking for what she wanted. Farming requires more than just seeds. A group of inexperienced people like them also need the guidance of professional books.

However, the variety of books in this library is quite limited. Most of them are related to the imperial examinations, and miscellaneous books also account for a considerable proportion.

Her slender fingers slid across the yellowed papers. Seeing Shen Jia's attitude, Fuqiu didn't want to interfere. She thought: It's just that the young lady has a good temper. This Shen Yue is also different from the other members of the Shen family. She is too spoiled.

Fuqiu watched the young lady slowly move from one bookshelf to another and couldn't help but ask, "What book are you looking for? I wonder if Fuqiu can help?"

When Shen Jia heard Fuqiu's words, he knew that today's incident was over.

"You should just call me Jia Niang. The other members of the Shen family are not far away. It would be difficult to explain if they heard me. What I'm looking for is..."

As she was replying, her fingers were still moving quietly, but suddenly she stopped and said, "I found it!"

Fuqiu hurried over to take a look, and unconsciously read the words on it: "The Book of Fan Sheng?"

"Yes, with this book we will have scientific guidance for farming in the future. It's an agricultural work left over from the previous dynasty."

"Jia Niang, you know so much."

"Fuqiu, you've made a lot of progress over the years. You can now pronounce these words without any hindrance. You can also take a look at the contents when you have time."

"Thank you, Miss. No, thank you, Jia Niang!"

When talking about studying, Fuqiu's gratitude to Shen Jia is like an endless torrent of water. It was Shen Jia who gave her the opportunity to learn to read. In a sense, he could be regarded as Fuqiu's little teacher.

Generally speaking, a maidservant beside a young lady only needs to know some simple words and sentences.

However, after Shen Jia finished studying and learning to write, he took the time to pass on what he had learned to the maid around him. Unfortunately, she was the only one who persisted to the end.

Otherwise, how could she recognize such complicated characters?

"Da da da!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps overhead. Shen Jia looked through the gap in the book and saw a group of familiar figures appear in his sight.

It seems that my grandfather and the others must have already negotiated something with the shopkeeper.

Speaking of which, the manager Qin of Hongwen Library is also a Confucian scholar who loves talents. Unfortunately, he is not gifted and just barely passed the examination for students of higher learning. When he saw the visitor today and saw that he had extraordinary conversation skills, he immediately invited him to the second floor for a detailed discussion.

This talk frightened him greatly. Later, when he heard that they had only been dismissed from their official positions and were now ordinary people in the northern border, he realized that their handwriting was so powerful that it could be seen through the paper. It was really a waste of their talent to come to his own library to copy books.

He couldn't help but think of his naughty youngest son at home. Thinking that the worst of the younger generation of the Shen family was also a scholar, he repeatedly invited Shen Yan to his home to teach his youngest son.

This Shuxiu can earn more than copying books. Chen Yan also has concerns. He is now guilty and it will not look good if others know that his child has a teacher like him.

It would not be good for his future career, so after all this, Shopkeeper Qin still begged Chen Yan to be his strict teacher. As for the future, he did not expect his children to have a career in the government, as long as they were a little better than him, a scholar was a good title in their Linyuan County.

So they decided that while Shen Jia was looking for books, the other people in the family would continue to copy books, while Shen Yan would go to the county town to teach students every day.

In fact, Shopkeeper Qin also suggested that they could write some miscellaneous books, which would be more valuable in their northern border.

Out of their own pride as scholars, the five of them refused and now can only make money by copying books for students to learn from.

"Thank you, Manager Qin. We will definitely act according to the agreement."

"Okay, okay! Then I will wait for Master Shen at home. My son is naughty, so I hope Master Shen will bear with him."

In order to copy the book, they also needed to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Seeing this, Manager Qin immediately asked his clerk to take them out and gave them a lot of silver at a discount.

Shen Yan looked at Shen Jia who was still holding something and said, "My granddaughter also took some books, please include them in the count!"

Shen Yue was so excited as she read. Just now, Shen Jia was hanging around next to her while she was reading. She could guess what the book in his hand was about. Could she dare to buy these unsightly books in front of her grandfather?

Suddenly, I felt a surge of admiration for Shen Jia. What a ruthless man he is!

If I had known this, I shouldn't have given up on the book. I was too anxious and didn't even see the ending.

The expressions on his face kept changing, but in the end, fear overcame desire. From now on, he could just do it secretly.

After all the calculations, I spent a lot of money today. Studying is really a costly thing.

After going out, the three girls waiting downstairs knew what had happened upstairs. They were all happy that their grandfather had found a good way to make a living.

All in all, I have exceeded my mission by coming to the county town today, and I am going home in high spirits.

Shen Jia recalled the soybeans he had left at home and immediately reminded him, "The winter in the north is tough. Why don't we go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine to prepare.

Besides, grandma hasn't recovered yet, so we can ask a doctor from the county town to check her out."

Although I know that headaches are my wife's chronic disease, it doesn't hurt to take a look.

Chen Yan looked at Shen Jia, who was full of concern, and said, "You are right. Let's go to the pharmacy again. Your grandmother is much better now with the medicine you bought from Shengjing.

But in winter, we still need to buy some warm herbs to keep warm. Jia Niang really cares about everyone in every detail. You are very good. "

The wind in the north is very cold and it is easy to catch a cold if you are not careful. In addition, the doctors in the town have limited medical skills.

Arriving at Huichuntang, Shen Yu, as the eldest son in the family, immediately told the apprentice in the medicine shop his request.

The apprentice immediately called a doctor. Doctor Lin saw that the man looked very tired but energetic. He was used to hearing that it was to prevent a cold.

This is really nothing new in their northern border. After prescribing some medicine, they would ask the apprentice to get the herbs.

Shen Jia, who had followed in, took this opportunity to ask the apprentice who was getting medicine, "Does the store have any lime powder?"

"Yes, I wonder how many the girl needs?"

"Five taels will do."

Chen Yu, who was standing by, was puzzled. "Jia Niang, why did you buy some lime?"

"My daughter still remembers that she once read about a delicious dish in a book that required lime, so she wanted to buy some and see if she could make it."

Chen Yu thought it was his daughter's curiosity, and a smile appeared on his face, "Really? Then father is waiting for your delicious food."

His words showed his indifference to Shen Jia's words, because the meals at home in the past few days no longer allowed him to have any excessive imagination.

Besides, this little lime powder is not expensive, so I'll just think of it as a small gift for my daughter.

I will make up this little money after I make money by copying books.

Seeing that Chen Yu didn't ask any more questions, she was really glad, otherwise she really didn't know how to explain her strange behavior.

After getting the purchased herbs, the father and daughter left the pharmacy. The people waiting outside looked at the things they had bought but did not ask what was inside.

After buying the things that were urgently needed at home, the group hurried to where the ox cart was parked. After waiting for a while, the rice shop guy piled the seeds they had just bought on the ox cart.

As a result, there were very few empty seats left on the ox cart, and there were eight of them. Shen Yu immediately said, "Father, let you and the three younger ones take the ox cart. We are young and strong, so we can just follow along."

Seeing that there was no better solution to the current situation, Shen Yan nodded.

There were so few empty seats that Shen Jia and Fuqiu even sat directly on the rice bags. Shen Hao led the ox, and the remaining three surrounded the ox cart for safety.

Because I walked home, it took me much longer than I had estimated to get home.

As the group slowly walked back home, the flickering candlelight at the door of the house indicated that someone was waiting for them.

As soon as we got off the car, before anyone could talk about what they had gained today, Mother Shen urged everyone again and again, "The food at home is still hot on the stove. I guess you must be going home without having time to eat, so hurry in."

With the help of Shen Ci, Shen Jia got off the ox cart smoothly. Listening to what Shen's mother said, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She came too late today, and cooking was not her job at all.

He led the ox cart and tied the ox in the front yard. As soon as he arrived at the dining hall, he saw everyone was waiting for him.

Before he could speak, Chen Yan, who was already starving, said, holding his chopsticks, "Hurry up and sit down, let's eat."

As soon as Shen Jia took a bite, she knew that her guess was correct. Her sixth sense was still so sensitive. Today, there was not rice at home but soft porridge mixed with the smell of burning. It tasted unique when eaten with stir-fried vegetables that could be used as pickles.

But at the same time, she was secretly thinking in her heart that the family must train a cook as soon as possible. Looking at her uncle who was eating with hearty meals, an idea suddenly came to her mind.

Although the food today was a little unpalatable, it was not inedible. The group of people who came home late ate up all the food in their bowls without saying a word.

Taking advantage of the night, the man in the family put all the seeds in the car into the warehouse. After washing up, Shen Jia naturally returned to his room and waited until there was no more sound in the house.

She quietly got out of bed, gently opened the door, and groped her way to the place she remembered. She was so excited that even the cold wind outside seemed particularly friendly.

"squeak--"

He pushed open the warehouse door and then gently closed it. The moonlight shone through the broken window onto the wheat seeds piled in a corner.

She quickly called out to Xiaojiu in her mind, "Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, look! We have seeds now. I need to quickly test the effect of the radiation mutagenizer."

"Wow! Not bad! It's pretty fast. Click to enter my personal space, then click on the machine and follow the steps to complete the breeding."

Following Xiaojiu's instructions, Shen Jia tapped on his name and successfully entered his personal space, where the instrument he had drawn was clearly displayed. When he clicked on the instrument, which looked like a piece of paper, a window popped up immediately.

"We have detected some usable materials nearby. Do we want to breed them?"

She clicked the "Yes" button, and suddenly a picture of a pile of wheat seeds packed in bags and stacked together appeared on the screen.

Looking down, I found that all the wheat seeds in the corner had disappeared. If other people saw this, they wouldn't be able to explain it even if they had mouths all over their bodies.

The next step of debugging parameters has appeared on the screen. She carefully recalled the climate conditions in the north and decided to increase the cold and drought resistance values ​​to the maximum so that she would not have to worry about problems with the wheat seedlings.

But when Shen Jia was about to increase the value to the maximum, a red exclamation mark suddenly popped up on the screen, and an alarm sounded in her mind.

"What's wrong? What happened? Are you broken? I just started using it."

"Please pay attention to the precautions that appear in the lower left corner of the interface!"

Xiaojiu's helpless voice sounded.

At first glance, what is written?

Set the maximum value based on the maximum potential that the seed itself can stimulate. It cannot be set if it exceeds your own ability. Please explore it on your own!

What are all these?

Why does this cheat code have so many restrictions?

Now she could only slowly drag the pointer to find the maximum limit that this batch of seeds could withstand, including cold resistance, drought resistance, lodging resistance, and yield. All of these had to change.

Shen Jia did nothing that night except adjusting the values, waiting for the breeding to be completed, and watching the wheat seeds on the screen return to the warehouse. The sky was already slightly bright at this time, and she tiptoed back to her room.

Master Shen worked hard all night, but ended up sleeping like a lazy pig. No matter how Fuqiu knocked on the door, he didn't respond at all. Worried that something might have happened, she pushed the door open in a hurry, and all she saw was Shen Jia who was sleeping soundly.

In fact, it was less than an hour before Shen Jia fell asleep. The ancients believed in working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Shen Jia had also adjusted his biological clock for a long time, but unfortunately, it was broken last night.

Now the Shen family members have a division of labor. Every morning, Shen Hao personally sends his grandfather to the Qin family for teaching. After returning, he goes to see the fields with Shen Han, Shen Ci, Shen Jia and others.

Since Chen Yu was not as healthy as the others, he was left at home to deal with the house repair issues. The leaky house had to be repaired quickly, otherwise it would be troublesome if it snowed.

There is also the issue of keeping the house warm. The kangs in the house have not been used for many years and are no longer usable. We have to find someone to build a few new ones.

Shen Jia, who was trying hard to keep his eyes open, was still yawning, which made Shen Hao, who was standing beside him, laugh.

"Jia Niang, what did you do last night? Why do you still look so sleepy? I heard that you are the last one to get up in the family."

"I'm a bit attached to my bed. I couldn't fall asleep at night, so I had to catch up on sleep in the morning."

"Jia Niang, is the bed too hard?"

Before Shen Hao could say anything, Shen Ci, who was listening at the side, couldn't help but ask. Looking at the dark marks under his sister's eyes, he was also very worried.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it after sleeping for a while."

Shen Yue on the side pouted uncomfortably. Why did Shen Jia suddenly become so pretentious? She didn't notice it before.

Listening to the conversations of several people, Shen Han, the oldest member of the team, smiled and said, “Don’t say that Ning’an Town has its own unique charm. After staying here for a long time, you will all get used to the life here.

Our fields should be not far away, you should all take a closer look, we will probably have to come here more often in the future."

Shen Yue's face instantly fell. If she hadn't been unable to refuse today, how could she be willing to come to such a dirty place.

What Shen Jia was thinking was that they could just ask some experienced people to help them farm the fields. Books alone were not enough; they also had to ask someone with experience to write.

Shen Han sat in the front, completely unaware of the different thoughts of the people behind him. He then pulled out a book from his arms and said, "Jia Niang, this is the Book of Fan Sheng that you bought from the library yesterday. Your grandfather gave it to me this morning, saying that we can farm according to the contents inside.

I never thought that you, Jia Niang, would even touch upon this kind of agricultural book. You are truly thoughtful. I can feel much more at ease with this."

Facing Shen Jiayi's praise, she still wanted to interrupt, "Are we taking care of all these dozens of acres of land of Second Uncle by ourselves?

Did Grandfather say we could ask some old farmers to help? The world out there is so vast, and it feels like we won’t be able to complete the task in just ten days with just a few of us.”

"Of course! We're mainly here to come and take a look and complete the early stages of the process. In a few days, when the old farmers in the village below are free, we'll go to the market to find help."

After hearing this, the people on the ox cart felt relieved. It was a bit difficult for the five of them to plow ten acres of land, not to mention that two of them were weak girls.

The sandy land that was obtained almost for free was the easiest part to deal with. In just two hours, five acres of land had been cleared, which seemed to be enough to grow vegetables needed for the winter.

The five people returned home feeling sore all over. The next day, Shen Jia and Shen Yue were kicked out of the group. With some free time, Shen Jia could finally start his own tofu business.

The author has something to say:

Pre-collection: "Becoming the Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Rebirth Novel [Food]" Please collect it!

Song Wan, who died due to the explosion of a pressure cooker in her own restaurant, was reborn as the green tea supporting actress in a rebirth novel.

This supporting female character pretends to be pitiful, wandering between various backups and trying to sow discord between the male and female protagonists.

After her rebirth, the heroine used her memories from her past life to crack the puzzles one by one. The supporting actress was no longer loved by her father, nor by her brother, and the Marquis's family also felt that she was so heartless.

When Song Wan came through the book, the female supporting character was already panicking and wanted to achieve her goal through improper means.

The heroine took advantage of the situation, but she never expected an accident to happen. Song Wan was lying on the same bed with the new top scholar. When Song Wan, who had vaguely come through, opened her eyes, she saw the disheveled man underneath her...

As a cousin fostered in the Marquis' Mansion (the heroine's home), Song Wan doesn't want to repay kindness with enmity, and she regards the previous events as a tit-for-tat.

Song Wan, who opened a restaurant in her previous life, wanted to show her skills in this era.

Breakfast: wonton, rice noodle rolls, soup dumplings...

For lunch, we had fish-flavored eggplant and Beijing-style shredded pork...

Hot pot, braised food, crayfish in the evening...

There are also cakes, milk tea and snacks that appear from time to time.

Watching someone lifting a ten-pound pot with one hand.

Tanhualang: Is this still the fragile Song Wan in our impression?

Brother: Sister, it’s mine!

Foodies: I don’t care about that. Boss Song, what new dishes have you developed recently?

The third place winner pushed everyone away, stood in front of Song Wan, held her hand tightly, and said with a flushed face: Madam, mine!
