Chapter 80 Harvesting Corn



Ji Haitang planned to return to the Ji Mansion in a few days to meet her father, the Minister of the Central Secretariat Ji Lin, to discuss ways to get rid of Qin Nian.

Speaking of Qin Nian, when she and Su Bi returned to Dawa Village that day, Su Bi's uncle Lin Tiancheng was much better.

Sitting on the kang, trying to breathe in and out.

Ten years ago, he went to the capital to visit his old friend Zhu Pi and was warmly received.

Because they had known each other for many years, he was not on guard against Zhu Pi at all. Plus, he liked drinking, so he was drugged by Zhu Pi.

The medicine came from the Western Regions and had a nice name, "A Little Drunk". If you didn't know, you might think it was wine.

Zhu Pi said that his wine was the most intoxicating. Lin Tiancheng was not convinced, so after getting drunk, he woke up and could not move his body.

His old friend had been coveting his Tianyuan Sect's internal skills for a long time, but he didn't have the ability or the courage to rob him openly.

After he was drugged, he was tortured and his leg bones, ribs, and arm bones were broken repeatedly.

But Lin Tiancheng had only one thing to say: If you want his Tianyuan Sect's internal skills, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

He was not afraid of death and could withstand all the pain. There was really no other way, so Zhu Pi thought about killing Lin Tiancheng and putting an end to it all.

But Zhu Pi had some concerns in his mind.

Lin Tiancheng's senior brother, Zhou Buyu, who is also Su Bi's master, has mastered Kung Fu to perfection. He has a character that is both good and evil, and is famous for his ruthlessness and mercilessness.

Zhu Pi was afraid that once Zhou Buyu found some clues and traced it back to him, and discovered that he had killed Lin Tiancheng, all his family would die miserably.

After thinking it over for a long time, Zhu Pi thought of his cousin, the magistrate of Yi County, and used him to put Lin Tiancheng in jail.

The imperial edict and the county magistrate explained clearly that Lin Tiancheng had a strange personality and liked to meddle in other people's affairs. His senior brother must have thought that he had offended someone.

I will definitely search death row cells everywhere.

They did the opposite and locked Lin Tiancheng in an ordinary single cell, giving him medicine once a month.

He couldn't speak or use his internal energy, and the prison boss and jailers didn't know what crime Lin Tiancheng had committed.

No one in the cell was interested in any of this.

Every few months, Zhu Pi would come to Yi County to help Lin Tiancheng detoxify himself and promised to let him go as long as he handed over his internal skills.

Lin Tiancheng still said the same thing: It is easy to reach the sky, but it is impossible to obtain the inner strength.

The situation was at a standstill here, so Su Bi first went to find his master Lin Tiancheng.

Looking at Lin Tiancheng's appearance, Su Bi asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it okay?"

Lin Tiancheng shook his head: "Not very good. But it doesn't matter, as long as I am alive, my kung fu will come back.

Let's go back to the mountain. I'll ask my senior brother to give me a hand. "

Su Bi reached into his bosom, took out a few banknotes and handed them to Qin Nian: "Miss Qin, thank you for helping my uncle detoxify.

I don't need to thank you for your kindness, but I still have to pay for the consultation."

Qin Nian smiled and shook his head: "There's no need to spend so much money on the consultation fee."

"No matter how much you give me, it can't beat the medicine. Miss Qin, please don't be polite and accept it."

Qin Nian knew that the people in the martial arts world were extremely righteous and would never take back what they had given.

She took the banknote without hesitation.

Su Bi clasped his fists, picked up his uncle, threw him on his back, and walked away carrying him.

Mrs. Li asked hurriedly, "Xiao Nian, you went into the kitchen and got a bowl of water. How did Lin Tiancheng get better after drinking it?"

Qin Nian smiled and said, "Grandma, some of the medical skills that Doctor Zhou taught me cannot be taught to outsiders or told to others.

If you say it, it won’t work next time.”

Li Pozi grew up in the countryside and was quite superstitious. After hearing what Qin Nian said, she nodded and said, "I understand. Your grandma understands this."

Ye Meizi made breakfast, and after eating, several people went to the fields.

The weather is getting a little cold, and it's time to pick the second crop of strawberries.

Some small vendors were smart and came to Qin Nian to buy strawberries. Qin Nian was happy to buy from them.

Anyway, the wholesale will be done sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if it's early. She and Geng Feng don't have to go to the county town to sell strawberries, and they can hurry to do other work.

On both sides of the fields, next to the shacks that had been built previously, two large houses were built.

The autumn sun is very warm and the house dries out in just a few days.

Mrs. Li and Ye Meizi packed up their things and moved in, leaving the two shacks as warehouses.

The stoves in the greenhouse were built one by one, and window paper began to be pasted on the windows of the greenhouse.

The greenhouse where strawberries are grown has also started to be sown.

There was too much work to do, so I hired Suqin and Cuizhi to help.

Geng Zhenjiang and Yao Hua are here too. Since we have to hire people anyway, we might as well hire them.

During this period, all the vegetables they ate were grown by the Mimosa Spring on the mountain, but they could not finish eating all the vegetables watered with the spiritual spring water.

Qin Nian went up the mountain alone for two days, picked all the vegetables that could not be eaten and threw them into the space.

The wild chives in that patch were in bloom. Qin Nian picked all the chive flowers and put them in the garlic jar. He crushed the salt into powder and also put that in the garlic jar.

Then I started to pound it with a small rolling pin until it was broken into small pieces, made it into chive flowers, and put it in a jar. Everyone in the family said it was delicious.

Qin Nian made a lot of them, and for fear that they would go bad, he put them in jars and placed them in the space.

After Qin Nian, Mrs. Li and the Geng family discussed the land, they decided to tell Geng Zhenjiang's family.

They are not outsiders and they are all good people, so there is no need to hide it.

The Zhenjiang family was so shocked that it took them a while to speak.

Yao Hua looked at Ye Meizi, his eyes full of envy: "Meizi, you and Zhenhai must have been very lucky in your previous life.

I have never met a girl as good as Xiao Nian in my life.

Xiao Nian is really lucky to have found such a good piece of land."

In the following days, Geng Feng and Geng Tiangeng went up the mountain to harvest corn.

After breaking them off, they were put into bags and transported to the foot of the mountain, covered with bundles of cut firewood, and pushed back.

If you were not afraid of badgers, wild boars and other small animals, you could dry the corn on the mountain after picking it.

When you have free time, rub the grains into powder and then transport them down.

But there were too many animals on the mountain, and there was no time to grind the grains, so they had to be transported down.

Once the stew restaurant opened, it would need a lot of firewood. When the villagers saw it, no one suspected that there were bags of corn under the firewood.

After harvesting the corn and potatoes, Geng Feng took Geng Tian and Geng Di back to the greenhouse to work.

The brothers Geng Zhenhai and Geng Zhenjiang went up the mountain to chop firewood every day.

If you live near a mountain, firewood will not be lost no matter where you put it.

After drying a batch, we hired an ox cart to pull it, as a large cart was too heavy to push it.

Throughout the entire month of October, the firewood stacks at the edge of the field were long and as high as a mountain.

In the evening, the family sat under the kerosene lamp and rubbed corn kernels.

After rubbing it for a few days, grind it into powder with a stone mill, mix it with chopped vegetable leaves, and feed it to the chickens.

The first batch of caged chickens has been sold. The second batch will be available in a month.

But Qin Nian didn't plan to sell it.
