Chapter 89 Xinghe Wants to Study at Qingyun Academy
Chen Xinghe was obviously shocked, but after Xiao Ying took out the glass plates, his attention was quickly diverted.
The four children only then knew that their mother had such an adventure. Although these glass plates and vases were not cheap, they couldn't help but look forward to it when they thought that they could be made into transparent windows and tiles.
Not to mention the entire Chenjia Village, even Hongye Town and Yun'an County, they were probably the first to use colored glaze to make windows.
Xiao Ying planned the delivery route for tomorrow, while Chen Xingyun went out to call the waiter to deliver the food.
Because each room only provides food for one person for free, the remaining two people had to order more, but it didn't cost much.
After dinner, Xiao Ying asked the waiter to bring a few buckets of hot water. He added some spiritual spring water into it, and the few of them took a bath like they did at home to wash away their fatigue.
The moon was at its zenith, and Xiao Ying entered the fairy palace.
She did not practice directly, but went to the rapeseed field first.
The rapeseed is almost dry. With a little force, the rapeseed seeds will break out of the shell and fall down.
She took a large oilcloth and spread it on the field, then cast a wood spell to start shedding the shells.
It took about an hour to thresh all the wheat from an acre of land, which weighed about 800 kilograms.
Then it was time to press the oil. She remembered that there was an oil-pressing tool in the wooden house, so she took it out and tried it.
The result was better than expected, with an oil yield of nearly 40%!
She kept more than ten kilograms of seeds, and she squeezed the remaining eight hundred kilograms of rapeseed into oil, which amounted to over three hundred kilograms.
Vegetable oil is more fragrant and clearer than the soybean oil we usually consume. She suddenly had an idea: would it be better to use it to make spicy sesame oil?
Yes, why didn’t she think of it before?
You can grow rapeseed yourself to get oil, so you don’t need to buy it. Wouldn’t the cost be greatly reduced?
She had originally planned to plant spiritual rice on these three acres of land, but now she has changed her mind and wants to plant rapeseed on it!
Now she no longer thinks that she has too many fields, she even thinks that they are not enough. She needs many more fields to grow rapeseed.
At that time, these oils can be used to make spicy sesame oil and spicy sauce, as well as soap and candles.
If it is promoted in the future, it is estimated that the price of oil can be reduced, which will benefit the general public.
However, it is not easy to plant this thing now, we have to wait for an opportunity.
After pressing the oil, seeing that it was still early, she went to process the corn.
The corn is almost dry. Just throw it into the magic tool and it will be automatically threshed. This is very convenient.
While threshing the grain, she was also cleaning the spiritual field. She didn't get rid of the rapeseed stalks and corn cobs. Now there was another horse in the family, so she had to save them for them to eat.
He piled these things together with corn stalks and sweet potato vines in the open space between the fruit trees, and then used the magic tools to turn the fields.
I was a little curious. These spiritual plant farmers were quite ingenious. They actually created so many practical magical tools in life.
While plowing the fields, she planted rapeseed. Because rapeseed is very small, it is enough to sow more than one kilogram per acre of land.
After the three acres of land were all plowed and the seeds were almost sown, the corn over there was also nearing completion.
After working all night, although I was a little tired, I felt very satisfied.
Then I soaked in the spiritual spring and started tonight's practice.
…
Early the next morning, Xiao Ying and the children had breakfast and then drove out in a horse-drawn carriage and an ox-drawn cart.
In an empty alley, she loaded two carts with potatoes and fruits, all in sacks, each weighing almost 100 kilograms, and then went to deliver the goods separately.
After the delivery, we met again in the agreed alley and loaded another car each. This time we were almost done.
“This is the last one.”
Xiao Ying drove Chen Xinghe and Chen Xingyue towards Qingyun Academy.
Qingyun Academy only ordered 20 kilograms of potatoes, and Chen Xinghe had already given 3 kilograms yesterday, so there are only 17 kilograms today.
"Wow, this academy is so big! Much bigger than the one in town."
As soon as she arrived at the door, Chen Xingyue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. With her knowledge, she was completely unable to describe the greatness of this academy.
"This is the best academy in the county."
Chen Xinghe also felt a bit envious and yearning.
Xiao Ying's heart moved: "You want to come here to study?"
It would definitely be of great benefit to Chen Xinghe if he could study in the best academy in the county.
Chen Xinghe bit his lower lip and was about to deny it, but he couldn't go against his conscience.
"I do, but it's too far from home, and the tuition is definitely very expensive. Besides, I've already agreed to continue studying in town."
"What's so difficult about that?" Xiao Ying admired his honesty and said with a smile, "If it's too far from home, we can just buy a yard in town. With our current financial situation, we can afford this school."
"As for what you said about having agreed to study in town, that's only for the next two months. You can definitely come here when school starts in August. I'm sure they won't refuse to accept you given your knowledge."
The more Chen Xinghe listened, the brighter his eyes became, and his anticipation grew deeper.
But he soon showed hesitation. How could he buy a yard in town just for him to study? How much would that cost?
He expressed his thoughts and Xiao Ying smiled and nodded.
"It's great that you're thinking about your family, but buying a property was part of the plan. In the future, I'm not only going to buy a yard here, but also a shop, or even go to the state capital."
This time, not only Chen Xinghe, but Chen Xingyue also became excited. They are actually going to the state capital to buy a yard in the future?
"Then it's settled." Xiao Ying and the others were all very happy, so they made the final decision.
"It's just that I'm short on time today, and I'm afraid I won't have time to go into the academy and take a closer look."
Chen Xinghe said sensibly, "Don't worry. There are still at least two months left. We can take our time with the academy and the courtyard."
Xiao Ying thought so too. The most important thing right now was to complete this order.
As they were talking, two people walked out of the lobby. Chen Xinghe took a look and found that one of them was the old man from yesterday.
He was actually waiting here today to pick up the goods in person.
"Uncle Liu, I brought you some potatoes."
Chen Xinghe quickly got out of the car to greet him, and Chen Xingyue also jumped out.
On yesterday's contract, the other party wrote his name, Liu Yunzhe, so Chen Xinghe called him Uncle Liu.
Liu Yunzhe's face was flushed, and he seemed unable to suppress his inner excitement and agitation, and his steps seemed very brisk.
The man behind him was in his early thirties. He was curious but respectful, and judging by his clothes and manners, he looked like a real doorman.
"I've been waiting for you all morning, why are you here just now?"
Liu Yunzhe stroked his beard. He tried his best to calm himself, but it was really difficult.
He did not give the three potatoes to the students in the academy yesterday, so he took them home and ate them himself.
I fell in love with it as soon as I tried it. It was very soft and sticky when boiled, and very crispy when fried. It tasted great no matter how you eat it.
More importantly, it was really filling, and he hadn't even eaten rice last night.
So I put everything on hold early this morning and waited here eagerly, hoping to buy more.
As a result, it is already three quarters past nine and this kid just arrived.
Seeing the carriage behind him, I was a little surprised. Didn’t this kid say yesterday that his family’s conditions were limited and he had to work?
Well, that's true, the driver was actually a woman.
"Sorry to have kept Mr. Liu waiting for so long. Here are your seventeen pounds of potatoes."
Chen Xinghe felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect the other party to have been waiting here, and he felt a little confused.
He handed a basket of potatoes to the other party, and the doorman behind Liu Yunzhe immediately stepped forward to take it and put it in the room.
"I see you are driving a carriage. Do you have any extra potatoes in the carriage?" Liu Yunzhe asked unexpectedly.
