Chapter 57 Plan

Three Character Classic and other elementary school books, Jun Yu copied these, they must be useful.

"Dad agreed to go to the village school to be a teacher, teaching the children. They don't need to be interested in advanced knowledge, most of them just want to learn a few words."

But to be literate, you must have books.

Enlightenment books, Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, Thousand Character Classic, these books to buy a complete set, the price of the handwritten copy of Border Town is 800 coins, and the printed version is 1500 coins.

This is still the most common binding version.

In the capital, these books are all hardcover editions, and each one can be bought for more than one or two taels of silver. They are all made with good pens, ink and paper.

Let’s not talk about the capital for now, let’s just talk about the border town.

Whether it is 800 wen or 1500 wen, it is not a small expense for the villagers in Biancheng Village.

If you save it, the whole family can use it for several months.

It’s no wonder that it’s hard for poor families to produce noble sons.

Not to mention tuition, just buying books, as well as pens, ink, paper, and inkstone is enough to bankrupt a family.

If you can’t even afford to eat, how many people can study with peace of mind?

A few days ago, Ma Zhong talked to Jun Yu and asked if he could take in children from other villages.

The overall situation of their village is better than other villages, and it is also a big village.

In the past, there was only one teacher, so naturally he only accepted children from the village. He could not take care of more children. Now that Jun Yu is here, he is considering whether to accept more children.

Teaching and educating people is also a meritorious deed.

Jun Yu naturally agreed.

But there are not enough books.

No one is willing to spend money to buy books. In many families, one book is passed down for generations, or people buy second-hand books from the homes of those who used to read the books but did not continue their studies. No matter, they buy third- or fourth-hand books.

That’s it, there are still far from enough books, and most students don’t have any books.

Taking the actual situation into consideration, Jun Yu thought about taking advantage of this period of time to copy a few more books.

When the time comes, children who cannot afford to buy books can get together with two or three others and study one book together.

Jun Qiulan felt a little emotional. The books over there were sold as scrap, but the books here had to be copied by hand.

It cannot be said that people in the other world are wrong, it’s just that the actual situations in the two worlds are different.

"Dad, don't copy it. I'll print some out and bring them back someday."

If you buy the printed version directly, it seems that there are also traditional Chinese characters, but that may not be suitable. The ordinary bound books there are better than the hardcover versions here.

Printing will be more convenient, and you can choose the font yourself.

The price is not expensive. I heard that it is cheaper at the school gate.

Jun Yu put down his pen and smiled. "I don't have anything to do right now anyway, so I'll just copy a little bit and treat it as calligraphy practice to pass the time."

Jun Qiulan burst out laughing.

No wonder people say it’s hibernation, there really isn’t much to do on weekdays.

It's so cold now, so the number of people visiting each other has decreased.

It has been snowing heavily recently, and even Song Yan's store in the city is closed.

It was really inconvenient. The snow was several feet deep. If you stepped on it, your calves wouldn't even cover it.

Jun Qiulan told Song Yan two days ago that when the situation gets a little better, they will buy a donkey or a mule and make a simple carriage so that they can shelter from the wind and rain when traveling.

There is no need to rush now. Closing the store for a while will not have much impact and there will not be many people on the streets.

There is no need to go out to buy food and daily necessities for the family. Jun Qiulan buys them from the supermarket after finishing filming.

It's fresh every day.

Song Yan had also been living there for a few days, but he was very smart and never asked a single question. He just ate and drank as he pleased, and he also took care of all the housework.

In fact, there is no need to do anything. The main thing is to sweep the snow and remove the accumulated snow.

When my father is idle at home, he can only read and write. My mother also does some embroidery and watches TV series.

It's quite boring. If they hadn't moved to a new place and hadn't had maids and old women serving them, their lives would have been no different from when they were in the capital.

"Your mother was asking today why you haven't downloaded the video for her yet about the variety show you participated in."

Jun Qiulan's mind froze for a moment.

Before leaving, he promised to download it for his parents so that they could see him on the screen and see how he was working there.

But...

If my parents had seen the clothes he wore last time, they would probably say that he was inappropriate.

On the day the show was broadcast, not only he watched it, but all his friends watched it.

Then he received many screenshots from the show from his friends.

Perhaps it was because he was so good-looking that the cameraman really favored him, and he accounted for a large proportion of the footage that was broadcast.

Of course, it didn't surpass the other actors.

The clothes he wore that day, coupled with his long hair and his overall temperament, especially the last part where he played the piano, the comments on the video were so dense that he could hardly see himself.

Or was it the dress? Jun Qiulan had thought it was a bit too much before, but there was no other more suitable dress at the time, so she had no choice but to go on stage wearing it.

Then after the show was broadcast, he was first teased by his friends, and even Master Qingheng and his senior brothers and nephews sent messages saying that they didn't expect he had such a side to him.

Later, it was screenshotted by lovely netizens and teased online, saying that they did not expect that the gentle and elegant man with a folding fan would have such a sexually tense day.

He also didn't expect that one day he would be associated with the word sexual tension.

It just so happened that Strategy for a Bastard was online again, and when he made his first appearance, all kinds of screenshots were taken and uploaded to the Internet for comparison.

The Master Qiwu in the play is synonymous with all the beautiful words such as wisdom, elegance, and nobility.

When it was his turn on the show, netizens started calling him "Please cheat on me this once."

According to Zhang Li, he used to have some fans for his calligraphy, some fans for his looks, and because he was young, he also had quite a few fans who were moms.

After the show was aired, he now has many female fans.

How embarrassing.

For an ancient man like him, it was still a little too advanced, so he was too embarrassed to respond online and could only pretend to be dead.

If he downloads it and shows it to his parents, won’t his parents tease him again?

I'm afraid his mother will think too much about it by then, after all, it was his mother who took the initiative to make the clothes bigger for him. Mainly, his mother couldn't have imagined that after the shirt was made bigger, it would look like this when he wore it.

Jun Yu didn't know about his little tricks. "And that drama before, isn't it said to be airing soon? It's cold out, and your mother and I have nothing to do. Can you download those TV series and variety shows for us?"

Jun Qiulan held his forehead and nodded.

You can escape the first day, but you can’t escape the fifteenth.

Even if they don't agree today, they will ask in a few days. My parents have been curious about his work for a long time.

There's no way, it's really hard to find him among the extras.

It's not easy to find an extra in a TV series with dozens of episodes, and most of them just appear for a short while.

He said, "I'll download it for you tomorrow morning. It's that TV series. It only airs one episode a day. I don't have many scenes in the first part. No, generally speaking, I don't have many scenes at all."

"It's okay. It seems to download TV series quite quickly. You can download the next episode as soon as it plays. Mom and Dad just want to kill some time."

Jun Yu has experience with this. In the past, his son downloaded TV series, audiobooks, and even short videos for them, and it only took a few minutes to download them all.

Jun Qiulan nodded and brought the topic back.

"We weren't able to bring all the rabbits with us this time, but we've done quite a lot before."

Cement, castrated piglets, kangs, and the potatoes taken away by General Huo should all be counted.

But the growth effect is not very obvious.

Right now, with about 30 kilograms of weight to travel through time, it’s unknown how long it will take for him to accumulate enough weight to lead others through time.

Not to mention taking my parents and younger sister away at once, even if I only take one person away at a time and make two more trips, the difference is still significant.

My younger sister weighs only about 90 pounds, my mother weighs about 100 pounds, and my father weighs almost 130 pounds.

Their whole family is relatively thin.

But the difference from the current 30 kilograms is not a little bit.

Human lives are not like these rabbits that can be slaughtered at will. He dare not take even the slightest risk.

He would definitely not lead anyone through time travel unless he was absolutely sure.

Jun Yu also knew the seriousness of the matter, "Does Ji Bai have other ideas?"

Except for kangs and cement, the things that were taken out before were quickly used by the people, but their audience was limited.

The rest will take some time before the people can benefit.

Especially grain seeds, which have to wait until next year for harvest.

They can't just sit and wait. The sooner they can cross, the sooner they will be safe.

During this period, you can also do more other things.

Jun Qiulan nodded, "We all speculate that this mysterious power wants to change the world here through me, so that the lives of the people here can be improved, or even changed. It shouldn't matter what it is."

Jun Yu nodded. "If changes were necessary in matters of life and death, then the number of rabbits wouldn't have increased this time."

It is impossible to ask Jun Qiulan to make changes every time a major event like a plague occurs.

If this is the case, then this mysterious power becomes very terrifying.

Therefore, their speculation is still mainly about changing the world and bringing benefits to the people.

Jun Qiulan said, "The second aunt next door is a good cook. The food in Border Town is too monotonous. Why not change it by eating."

Food is the most important thing for people, and it does not only refer to grain, but also the taste of food.

Even in the poor border towns, the aunties and grannies in the village will try their best to make those not-so-delicious wild vegetables more delicious.

Just like the pickled vegetables made by a family in the village, they are very famous in the surrounding villages.

Poor people also have the right to pursue delicious food.

Jun Yu thought thoughtfully, "Do you want to open a restaurant?"

Jun Qiulan smiled and said, "Of course not."

After all, the border town is poor. There are also a few old-fashioned restaurants in the city, and the food is delicious, but only the rich people in the city can afford it.

If they were to open a restaurant, he could bring back many recipes and formulas from another world, and he would definitely be able to make the business a success.

Like many time-travel novels, the protagonist makes his first fortune by selling recipes in restaurants. This shows the difference in cuisine between the two worlds, and the impact of the cuisine of the other world on the cuisine of their world.

But their purpose is not to make money.

It is to improve people’s diet.

Opening a restaurant can only change or improve the situation to a limited extent, which is not what they want.

"Lan'er wants to sell the recipe?" Jun Yu finally understood.

Jun Qiulan smiled and nodded.

"We're not just selling to the border towns, we're selling to all those merchants coming here, as long as they pay."

There is no need to sell at a high price, just sell according to the positioning of the dish.

Those large dishes that are complicated to cook are obviously bought back for business, so they can be sold at a slightly higher price.

They sell things that ordinary people can use at low prices.

Jun Yu nodded, "This is also a solution."

Jun Qiulan continued, "The second aunt next door is a good cook. We can ask her to make the dishes first, and then go to the market and sell the recipes openly."

You can sell it not only once, but also as many times as you want for a dish recipe.

This business is a matter of willingness to fight and willingness to be beaten.

Over time, these recipes gradually spread.

It should also be considered a good deed.

Moreover, there is no need for them to step in for this matter. The people next door have cooperated with them on many things and they are tight-lipped and will not say anything outside.

"I'm afraid this will take some time." Jun Yu said, "The house next door is also being renovated soon."

Before, Old Madam Zhao wanted to buy both courtyards, but the money she had was not enough.

Look, my second sister-in-law Xu Lian used to cook and do shopping for Master Qin and other workers, and they paid her wages. My younger sister-in-law Fang Yun has been making egg tarts with them for a long time and has earned a lot of money. Qian Miaoer has been working in the general's mansion for a few months, and she can occasionally get some tips.

With some savings, I finally bought the house.

The two small courtyards are actually not worth that much money, but enclosing land to build a house, that is, the residential land, also costs money.

All in all, the prices are about the same.

The most important thing is to save labor costs.

There is a group of women and children next door, so it is impossible to build a house by myself. I have to hire someone to build a house. Even if it is a mud house, it costs money.

Just buy it now, do some repairs, then rebuild the courtyard wall to enclose the two houses together, and build it higher, and that's about it.

It also saves trouble.

Jun Qiulan said, "There's no rush regarding the recipe. My son has other ideas, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Mr. Su and Senior Brother Duan again."

"Related to scholars?" Jun Yu is also smart.

Jun Qiulan looked at the Three Character Classic that his father had not finished writing, and the paper he bought from there.

"Dad, the history over there is very similar to ours. You should know this."

Jun Yu nodded. There were too many things in the two worlds that overlapped.

It’s just that their world is much more developed than theirs, and they can’t even begin to catch up.

The word "envy" cannot be used to express their emotions.

"They also had the woodblock printing technology that we have now, but later they improved it and came up with movable type printing."

Both types of printing have extremely important significance in the history of that country, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The evolution from woodblock printing to movable type printing was not complicated. Jun Qiulan just had to explain it briefly and Jun Yu understood it.

"This thing is really simple, but it's a pity that no one here has ever tried to improve it."

Maybe, but it may have been strangled by someone.

Only when knowledge is in their hands can they have the right to speak.

This is wrong. Jun Yu only realized these problems after arriving at the border town.

With this movable type printing, printing books will be more convenient in the future.

Jun Qiulan continued: "In addition to this, there is also papermaking."

Paper is expensive nowadays.

If the price of paper cannot be reduced, the cost of reading will remain high.

I won’t go into details about the papermaking technology there, as there are many different types of paper.

There are dozens of common types of writing paper alone.

Jun Qiulan's plan was to select several low-cost papermaking techniques that could be implemented here, bring them over, and spread them on a large scale.

Papermaking is a matter of great importance.

With their identities, they are not suitable for this.

We still have to let Su Changxun do it.

After all, Su Changxun was a role model for literati in the past.

No matter whether they are powerful or ordinary scholars, no one does not admire him.

He passed the imperial examination at the age of seventeen and got the sixth place.

Looking back in history, there were only a handful of people who passed the imperial examinations and achieved the highest three honors.

Apart from Su Changxun, Jun Qiulan had only seen people who won the top six places in the imperial examination in those time-travel novels.

Even his former political enemies could only attack him on his political views, and they all acknowledged his knowledge.

This also means that Su Changxun's status in the literary circle will not change because of his current situation.

When Su Changxun was demoted, it hurt many scholars, and many people spoke up for him.

Jun Yu nodded, "It is indeed the most appropriate thing to let Brother Su do this."

Jun Qiulan: "We have to think of a solution. After all, Mr. Su is not much better than us, and we can't let him be implicated."

Su Changxun was also a demoted official.

The invention of printing and papermaking is clearly an achievement that will go down in history.

If the method is not right, it may cause trouble for Mr. Su.

"My son plans to personally discuss this matter with Mr. Su in a few days, and take my younger sister home at the same time."

The crew of Jinkui can only shoot for a few more days, and they also need to take a holiday during the Chinese New Year.

He just happened to be able to rest for a few days.

You know what, working around the clock is a bit tiring.

"Just do as you say."

In the evening, a table full of rabbit meat.

Song Xirong also asked Song Yan to send a bowl to Old Madam Zhao and the others.

This family of women and children lived in poverty. It seemed that they had never bought meat. They could only eat an egg occasionally, but that was not a meat dish.

The next morning.

Jun Qiulan got up early in the morning, took his tablet back to his rental house to watch TV series and variety shows, and also bought breakfast.

The breakfast here is rich and there is no need to worry about it going bad in winter, so Jun Qiulan always buys enough for two or three days at a time.

Xiaolongbao, soup dumplings, glutinous rice cakes, and brown sugar steamed buns are his favorites to buy.

Occasionally I would buy some bread and cakes to change the taste.

He bought a new breakfast today.

He packed a few bowls of beef noodles. Since he had money, he also added a portion of beef to each bowl, making it full of meat.

When I brought it home, my whole family loved it.

Song Yan was silent. Where did this beef noodle come from?

He could still barely understand the usual steamed buns and pretend not to care.

But beef noodles, beef noodles.

He didn't say much about the vermicelli.

Beef.

I won’t talk about how expensive this one is, the key point is that slaughtering beef is illegal.

There are probably more than a dozen thumb-sized pieces of beef in this bowl of noodles.

Song Yan remained silent and just slurped his noodles.

No matter where it comes from, this beef noodle is pretty delicious.

A smile appeared on Jun Qiulan's lips.

It's quite reassuring to see cousin Yan like this.

Of course, these situations were taken into consideration when we allowed Cousin Yan to live with us.

Since they were trustworthy family members, Song Yan never asked any questions. It just so happened that he didn't want to explain too much.

It's good to maintain the current harmony.

In addition, Jun Qiulan also thought about more questions.

The other world is beautiful. If he can lead people through it in the future, if his parents are willing to stay there to live, he will support them. If they are not willing and just want to use it as a last resort, he will also support them.

However, there was another problem that he had to consider.

If the butcher's knife falls one day, this family will escape and disappear without a trace.

What should my grandfather and his family do then?

This is also an issue that must be considered.

Of course, if you can live in peace, there is no need to worry about these issues.

Although that world is beautiful, my grandfather and his family do not belong there. If we rashly decide to live there, we will probably not be able to get used to it.

Just prepare for a rainy day.

After dinner, Jun Qiulan went back to her room and changed her clothes.

Online shopping is convenient, and he buys a lot when there are discounts during shopping festivals.

This morning when I was buying breakfast, I happened to pick up a package from the express locker. It was for my parents.

A small down vest to wear underneath, a few pairs of gloves, and a few pairs of cashmere socks.

It was still early, so he simply gave it to his parents first.

Dad and Song Yan went to clean up the snow, leaving only Mom at home.

Jun Qiulan knocked on the door.

Song Xirong opened the door and asked, "Why haven't you gone there yet?"

Jun Qiulan was just about to laugh when he saw his mother's hands were red from the cold.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

It's obviously a cold shower.

Song Xirong smiled a little shyly, "No big deal, I just washed two sets of clothes."

"Didn't you tell me to take all the clothes over to be washed? Why…"

He paused mid-sentence.

Ever since they learned about the magical household appliance called washing machine, their family has freed their hands.

He would collect clothes for a few days, take them there, wash them, and bring them back.

This time he moved to a new house, and Uncle Hua bought him a new washing machine with a drying function.

You can wear it directly after washing without having to dry it in the sun.

But I wash my underwear myself.

Firstly, people here are not as open-minded as those over there. They still keep things like underwear secret. How can we let him take them over to wash?

Secondly, he had also checked and found that it was best not to wash underwear in a washing machine as it was unhygienic.

I guess my mother was washing clothes or underwear in the house just now.

"Mom, there's always hot water in the kitchen, why are you washing clothes with cold water?"

When they built the new house, they dug a well in the backyard. The water in the well is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it does not freeze, making it convenient for them to use water.

Song Xirong smiled uncomfortably, "We are still children, there are some things you don't understand, some things can only be washed with cold water, hot water can't clean them."

Jun Qiulan paused.

Isn't what mom said contradictory?

He was called by his courtesy name and said he was still a child.

What can't be washed off with hot water?

He really doesn't understand.

"Even if you can't use hot water, adding a little hot water will make the water less cold."

Song Xirong smiled, "Mom knows, and you still come to bother your mom."

She glanced at the things in her son's hands and said, "You bought us so many things again."

Jun Qiulan finally put on a smile and said, "These are all warm clothes. Although it's inconvenient to go out in winter, you should still try to dress warmly when you go out occasionally, so as not to catch a cold."

He also bought a few pairs of snow boots, but they haven't arrived yet.

Song Xirong nodded, "I understand, you should hurry over. Didn't you say there's a play today? I'm going to watch the TV show after I finish my work. Let me see how my son performs over there."

The tone was smiling.

This time it was Jun Qiulan's turn to feel uncomfortable, and he ran away without stopping.

I hope my mother won’t think too much when she sees that dress.

After Jun Qiulan returned to the modern era, he was still thinking about the question his mother had asked.

What is it that you have to wash with cold water? Can't be washed out with hot water?

Isn’t it said that washing clothes with hot water makes them cleaner?

He looked up information but couldn't make sense of it. Many things could only be washed with cold water, so he had no way of figuring out what his mother was talking about.

Still need to arrange home appliances.

Previously, we were considering the issue of heating in winter.

Air conditioning is a good thing.

After checking, I found that the air conditioner consumes too much electricity and several solar panels cannot operate it at all, especially in winter when the sunlight is not strong enough.

Fortunately, we found this magical thing called heated kang, and the problem of keeping warm was solved.

Other home appliances have not been purchased yet, mainly due to electricity issues.

How can home appliances work without electricity?

Now I have to think about it.

I can't let my mother continue to wash clothes with cold water.

I checked online before and found out that there are special washing machines for underwear.

This is a small household appliance that doesn't consume much electricity. In the winter, you don't need to change clothes every day. Using solar panels to accumulate a few days' worth of electricity, you can wash a few sets of underwear. That should be fine, right?

Jun Qiulan was not sure.

But always try first.

Anyway, these solar panels have to be installed sooner or later.

It can be purchased online, which is convenient and there are also installation tutorials. Jun Qiulan was no longer short of money and placed an order immediately.

Then I noticed another problem.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon and express delivery will be suspended.

You have to buy everything you want in the next few days, otherwise you will have to go to the mall to buy it yourself.

Jun Qiulan thought about it, looked at his shopping cart, and placed orders for everything he needed.

All day long, he was either filming or shopping.

Director Wang also teased him: "Our Master Yin has become a bad boy. He doesn't hold the script anymore, he holds his cell phone now. Look at this thing, cell phones, once you pick them up, you can't put them down."

Master Yin is the role played by Jun Qiulan this time.

Jun Qiulan was holding a mobile phone, but it did not affect the filming. He is a very talented child. Director Wang is the one who can feel his progress most clearly.

It was rare to see Jun Qiulan holding onto his phone today, which I found quite interesting.

Jun Qiulan smiled shyly, "It's Chinese New Year soon, I'll buy some New Year's goods."

Wang Dao thought for a moment before speaking: "Have you made any plans for the New Year?"
