After dinner, everyone washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
Because the house only has two entrances and has been in disrepair for a long time, after some renovations, only five rooms were created. This is why Shen's mother only bought five quilts just now.
The grandparents were naturally resting in the main house, Shen's mother and father and the third and second uncles were in the east and west wing rooms respectively, Shen Ci was in the ear room of the main house, and the three young girls were in the back room.
Because Fuqiu was a guest, her grandfather originally wanted to let Fuqiu have a room of her own, and Shen Jia and Shen Yue had to live together.
Who said there are only two partitioned rooms available in the back room?
Who would have thought that Shen Yue was unwilling?
Her attitude towards Shen Jia had not softened during the entire journey. Her relationship was still better with Fuqiu. In addition, there were only three of them alone in the back room. Looking at the old and dilapidated house, she felt that she would feel safer sleeping with Fuqiu.
Fuqiu also felt that the young lady would be more comfortable sleeping alone, so she quickly accepted Chen Yue's olive branch.
But this scene is not what outsiders see. Instead, they wonder if Shen Jia is being isolated.
Because he was hiding a big secret, Shen Jia also felt that it was more convenient for him to sleep alone. Facing everyone's pitying eyes, he said:
"That's great. I'll have the room to myself then. Thank you so much, sister!"
When everyone heard Shen Jia's words, they thought she was comforting herself. How could she be so sensible?
Shen Ci thought: There are only three little girls in the family, and they will definitely spend a long time together in the future. I have to think of a way to ease the relationship between the three of them.
Shen Jia returned to his room alone and finally had time to pay attention to his system. He lay on the bed, looking at the eaves above, calling the system that had been silent for a long time.
"Hey, hey, hey! Xiaojiu, right? I should have completed the first goal you promised me by now, right? So when can I get my reward?"
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
A sound similar to the one made when a black and white TV has no signal suddenly came into Shen Jia's mind.
The next second, a familiar blue frame and a cold mechanical sound appeared at the same time, and Shen Jia's current basic information was simply displayed in the blue frame.
[Name]: Shen Jia
[Level]: LV.2
[Economic Growth]: 153 points
[Prize]: 3 minutes of online browsing time and 1 lucky draw.
Not only Shen Jia was watching, Xiaojiu was also whispering in her ear. Although the tone did not change, Shen Jia could tell from its actions how proud Xiaojiu was.
However, Shen Jia still had something to ask, "How did you calculate this economic growth point? Why are there both decimals and whole numbers?"
The mechanical voice paused for a moment, then continued, "Xiaojiu has applied a name based on your planet's calculation method. Economic growth points can also be considered as GDP growth values related to you."
After hearing this, Shen Jia asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you understand this concept thoroughly?"
"Uh..." The system is stuck.
"Let's just look at it this way for now. Don't worry, our technology will definitely not miss any economic growth in the area related to you. Besides, in ancient times, the circulation speed was a bit slow. You can just wait and see the growth in the future.
You've seen my prize, haven't you? If you don't believe me, you can try it."
In fact, Shen Jia was secretly laughing in his heart. He was going to spend the money anyway, but now he would get follow-up supporting services after spending the money, which was no different from getting it for free.
After hearing Xiaojiu's suggestion, she also wanted to try whether this thing was useful, and said with hope:
"Then let's try this online browsing time. How do I go online?"
As soon as Shen Jia finished speaking, the blue box in front of her eyes, which originally had her information written on it, suddenly turned into a familiar interface. Isn't this Baidu? She even felt like she was surfing the Internet at home.
“Just click on the virtual screen to search for something.”
Time was limited, so Shen Jia quickly input what he wanted to know into the screen above his head. There would not be any big problems if he followed the seniors in the time-travel world.
The first thing she typed in was "tofu recipe."
A series of relevant information immediately popped up, and she quickly clicked on the link to enter, wanting to remember the method firmly in her mind.
If someone suddenly rushed into the room now, they would only see a person lying straight on the bed, with his hands stretched out from the quilt and waving at the air.
If I hadn't noticed that her eyes were open, I would have thought she was in a nightmare.
Shen Jia clicked faster and faster because she was in a hurry.
Who would have thought that the first interface that popped up was that the tofu was made using gluconolactone?
How could she produce this thing in this era?
The next necessary ingredients are salt brine and gypsum water. The previous steps are similar, except that the brine is poured in after boiling the soy milk.
In addition, acid water can also be used. She wrote down the process one by one, and when the time comes to do it, she will see which raw materials are easier to obtain and then decide which method to use.
Just as she was checking what the acid water was, the interface suddenly disappeared and returned to the interface where she had previously recorded her information.
"Wait...I..."
Shen Jia had never expected that 3 minutes would pass so quickly. He even wanted to pull the blue box above his head into his hand and return to the previous interface.
Xiaojiu said mercilessly: "Time is up!"
Not wanting to be embarrassed, Shen Jia remembered that he still had a prize and immediately said, "I want to try that lottery too."
"Can."
A large turntable immediately appeared in front of him. Each fan-shaped pattern inside was marked with some content that Shen Jia couldn't understand, and there was even the classic "Thank you for the draw."
Shen Jia pointed at the spot where it said "Thank you for the lucky draw" and asked, "How can there be such a thing? Can this be called a lucky draw?"
Xiaojiu looked at Shen Jia innocently and said, "That's right! I noticed that all your games have this, so I followed the local customs and created a thank you lottery. How about that? I'm being considerate, right?"
But only it knows what the original intention of the setting is.
Looking at Xiaojiu who was still trying to take credit for himself, the expression on Shen Jia's face cracked, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: Thank you so much!
"You're truly well-versed in this. You even know the ins and outs of our lottery game."
I don’t want to look at Xiaojiu’s innocent little eyes anymore. They are better at disguising themselves than a panda’s dark circles.
Shen Jia pressed the button, and the pointer on the dial began to spin rapidly. Now Shen Jia could only hope that he was lucky and prayed over and over again in his heart.
She casually pressed the stop button. As the pointer continued to decrease, her heartbeat continued to accelerate. Looking at the pointer gradually approaching the "Thank you for the lottery" area, her heart was tightly gripped.
Xiaojiu, in response to the situation, even played the countdown heartbeat sound that often appeared in the video. Shen Jia felt that his heartbeat was synchronized with it.
As if the heavens had heard her prayers, it happened to slide past the thank you lottery area and landed in the next fan-shaped area. The item inside was called a "Radiation Mutagenizer."
She clicked on the name and an introduction to the instrument immediately appeared.
The long string of text sums up what it means to be able to say that this instrument is the latest technological product used for mutation breeding. You only need to put the seeds in, and you can develop seeds that perfectly meet your needs.
The only limitation is that customization can only be done once a month, and the various indicators of this round of transformation cannot be changed.
This is a great thing for Shen Jia. In this era when ordinary people can barely make ends meet by farming for a year, the emergence of such an instrument is of extraordinary significance.
Having good seeds means that she can grow enough food, and after secondary processing through special means, the things she wants to do can be done much faster.
Watching the proud Xiaojiu rolling around on the screen, she really couldn't bear to watch. The image of the national treasure was ruined by its actions again and again.
"How about it? Do you know how powerful I am now?"
"So where do you keep this radiation mutagenizer? How do I use it?"
"Don't worry about me taking care of things. Just click your name on the screen and you will enter a personal space where you can complete all operations."
After hearing this, Shen Jia tried to enter his personal space, and then a two-dimensional machine and a miniature version of himself appeared on the screen.
This really surprised her, "How do I get this out?"
"Just tap the instrument to set the parameters you want, and then it will suck it in by itself to achieve your goal."
It feels terrible to be left behind in this era, but as long as it's useful to me, it's fine. Today I finally experienced the capabilities of this system, and I will know how to deal with it in the future.
"Good! It's getting late, go to bed."
Shen Jia, who had overworked his brain in front of Xiao Jiu who was excited and asking for praise, just wanted to have a good sleep. He turned over and looked away, repeating the content that had just appeared in his mind over and over again.
Xiaojiu was very happy to have completed his first task since birth. He felt that as long as he worked harder, he might be the top of the newcomer list this year.
Looking at Shen Jia's sleeping face, Xiaojiu, who had nowhere to share this joy, began to contact his friends who were born with him.
The next day, the Shen family's main focus was still on tidying up the yard. They had to patch up the leaks, repair the well, and also change the plaque on the house.
The most important issue was the relationship with the An family next door. Not wanting to be gossiped about, my grandfather went to visit the An family again and explained that he was a new resident next door, but he didn't say much else.
Seeing that the Shen family was no longer so friendly, An Yun and Lin Wan knew very well that they also knew about the rumor, and that the distance between the two families had to be carefully controlled in the future.
Another most important thing is that they have to find a suitable time to plant the dozens of acres of land they purchased.
It is late September now, and if we don’t plant the wheat seeds, we will miss the planting time of this year’s winter wheat.
In order to buy good seeds, the whole family went out together this time. Except for the poorly healthy Mrs. Shen and her mother who stayed to take care of her, everyone else took the Shen family's newly bought ox cart to the county seat of Linyuan County.
The familiar hawking sounds once again filled the ears of the Shen family. They only needed to tie the ox cart to the place where they rented it last time. They only had to spend two cents to get food and drink and someone to watch over them. Who wouldn't want that?
As soon as she went out, Chen Yue was like a bird that had just been released from a cage, strolling around the market happily, completely losing the sadness she had when she first set out for the northern border.
Shen Han was also happy to see his daughter happy, and followed behind to protect her. Just buying a handful of candied fruits was enough to make her happy for a long time.
Shen Ci and Shen Yu, father and son, who had not spent much time with Shen Jia, felt uncomfortable when they saw Shen Han and his daughter having fun together.
She glanced at Shen Jia again, who hadn't noticed the situation here at all. She was still talking to her grandfather, and there was even a faint feeling that she was the main focus.
Shen Ci, whose thoughts were wandering, shook his head and looked at the candied haws wrapped in a layer of transparent sugar coating beside him. He thought: Jia Niang is a girl after all, and her taste must be similar to Shen Yue and Fuqiu.
He whispered to the vendor, "Three strings of candied haws."
The hawker quickly took out three candied haws from the straw target in his hand and shouted enthusiastically: "Okay! Your candied haws."
Shen Ci quickly caught up with the others, looked at Shen Jia who hadn't noticed anything, and walked quickly to her side.
He said gently, "Sister, I bought this candied haws especially for you."
Looking at the thing that suddenly appeared in front of her, Shen Jia's brain didn't react for a moment. She looked up at the kindness in Shen Ci's eyes and took the thing as if possessed by a ghost. "Thank you, brother."
Because she didn't like sweet things, she only took a small bite of the candied fruit that Chen Yue handed to her. Looking at the five hawthorns coated with honey on the stick in front of her, she seemed to be able to feel the toothache.
Seeing the fiery red candied haws in Shen Ci's hand, Shen Yue, who was originally shopping with Fuqiu in the back, quickly rushed forward and said in a sweet voice: "Brother, this is for me!"
He took it and gave her the portion that belonged to Fuqiu, "Thank you, big brother!"
"Thank you, Brother Shen."
Because of her identity, Fuqiu had no choice but to call Shen Ci this.
Shen Ci looked at Shen Yue, who was overjoyed and ate a hawthorn in one bite, with a faint smile on his face.
Father Shen, who lamented that he was a step slower, felt even more uncomfortable when he saw his spoiled daughter, who obviously treated Shen Ci better than himself.
This son is good at using these little tricks, so as an old father, I have to get familiar with my daughter as soon as possible.
Seeing Shen Ci standing there in joy because his daughter took the candied haws, Shen Yu quickly rushed ahead. Now Shen Jia was standing between his grandfather and father.
Shen Jia was unaware of the inner struggle in Shen Yu's heart. As she looked at the grain store not far away that was said to have the best wheat seeds, she had already forgotten about the candied haws in her hand.
To his grandfather who was determined to be a qualified farmer, he said happily: "Grandpa, we are almost there."
Chen Yan nodded. Due to his age, his speed could not be considered fast. He looked at the slightly crowded grain store not far away.
Because it is a good time to plant wheat seeds recently, and the crops grown from the seeds sold in shops are always better than those grown from seeds kept by oneself, some people are still willing to buy some seeds every year.
Of course, most people still use the new wheat seeds from their own fields last year. After all, these wheat seeds are more expensive than ordinary grains.
As we approached the shop, a clerk came up to chat. "What are you guys looking for? We need to get some new wheat seeds from the provincial capital early, or they'll be sold out."
After saying this, he glanced at the bustling crowd in his shop. Most of them came to buy seeds, which was always the case at this time of year.
At this time, the Shen family had already put on their new clothes and did not look as shabby as before. The waiter's tone was also much more intimate.
Chen Yan, who was not involved in farming, listened to the clerk's urging without any haste. Instead, he asked the clerk, "I wonder how much good seeds are needed for ten acres of land?"
"Don't worry, the grain seeds in our shop are all top-notch. 25 kilograms per mu of land is enough. If you think it's suitable, I'll weigh 250 kilograms for you right away."
The smile on the waiter's face became even brighter. When Shen Yan heard the waiter's suggestion, he wanted to nod in agreement.
He suddenly felt someone tugging at the hem of his clothes. He glanced at the restless hand and asked, "Jia Niang, do you have anything to say?"
Shen Jia couldn't bear to undermine Chen Yan's dignity in front of outsiders, so he muttered, "Grandfather, this is the first time our family has farmed. What if the survival rate is too low?
Otherwise, it would be better if we buy more. Besides wheat seeds, we can also buy some other vegetable seeds. Vegetables must be difficult to grow in the north during the winter."
Shen Jia whispered these words into Shen Yan's ear, and only Shen's father, who was following him, heard them.
Shen Yu thought: Jia Niang is more far-sighted. He also felt that it made sense. Their family was a novice, and the farming issue needed to be carefully considered.
As for what Shen Jia was thinking, only she knew.
The success rate of this mutation breeding is unknown. Even if some are wasted, it will not be enough to fill the seeds in so many fields.
Moreover, the radishes and cabbages grown in sandy soil are a delicacy and are most suitable in this winter.
After hearing Shen Jia's words, Shen Yan also felt that he was a little anxious just now, so he smiled at the enthusiastic guy and said:
"Don't worry, let's take a look first."
"Then, good sir, once you've taken a look, just go to the counter and tell us."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door to continue greeting the next customer.
Because the store was crowded and most people didn't know anything about farming, only Chen Yan and his two grandchildren entered the store, while the others were still waiting outside.
The three of them walked around the store and saw other people buying and selling large and small bags. Only then did they realize that they themselves had no knowledge of agriculture.
In order to eat fresh vegetables in winter, after Shen Jia reminded them from time to time, the three of them finally carried a lot of things when they went out.
There are seeds of cabbage, radish, garlic and other vegetables in it. Their family has more than 20 acres of sandy land, which must be put to use quickly.
As for the more than 200 kilograms of wheat seeds they bought, the shop had to deliver them to where the ox cart was parked.
Because the three of them had been inside for a long time, and it was not appropriate to stand in front of the shop all the time, the five of them sat down at the tea stall opposite to rest, drinking some tea while waiting.
Seeing the three people going out, Shen Ci was the first to come forward and took the things from Shen Jia and his grandfather, "Have you bought everything?"
Looking at the attentive Shen Ci, Shen Yu only regretted that he had not been more decisive just now, and that he had snatched his daughter's attention away again.
"Father, please have a cup of tea first."
Shen Han, who followed closely behind, looked at the three people's clothes, which were slightly wrinkled because they were squeezed together with others, and quickly asked them to sit down.
Shen Hao also hurriedly shouted to the shopkeeper: "Three more cups of tea!"
After the renovation, everyone came to the largest Hongwen Library in the county. The Shen family, whose entire family is composed of scholars, thought that the best way to make money they could think of was to copy books.
It would have been better for them to teach students, but since they are now in a state of criminal responsibility, it is obvious that no one would be willing to let them teach their own children.
Now I can only see if there is any work copying books in the library.
This time, the only ones left were three little girls. It would not be good for girls' writing to be left out in the open, so the three of them were not allowed to participate in this event.
Suddenly no one cared about her, and Shen Yue became even more excited. She grabbed Fuqiu's hand and walked deeper into the library.
Shen Jia followed behind without knowing why. It would be better for the three of them not to be too far apart at this time. From a distance, she always felt that Shen Yue's smile was a bit like a cat that had stolen some fish.
After getting what she wanted to see, Shen Yue took advantage of Fuqiu's cover to open the book. As she was reading with great interest, a shadow suddenly appeared on the book in front of her.
When she looked up, she saw that it was Shen Jia. She was so scared that she almost threw away the book in her hand.
He lowered his voice awkwardly and asked, "Why are you scaring me?"
"I didn't know Yue Niang liked to read these books. If you like, hurry up, because Grandfather will be coming down soon."
Just by reading a little bit of the content, Shen Jia could guess that it must be a love story between a talented man and a beautiful woman, which she could understand for a young girl who was just beginning to fall in love.
But Shen Yue didn't think so. Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, her hair stood on end. She forced herself to look unyielding, but in reality, she was weak inside and was very worried that Shen Jia would tell others about this.
Only Uncle San knew about this in the family, because Shen Hao had bought it for her from a library outside.
But her mother always said that these were bad things that were disgusting to the eyes and would destroy the mind, and she never allowed Shen Yue to watch them.
If she was caught, she would be severely punished. Now that no one was supervising her, Shen Yue came to the library and thought she could flip through the books.
Now that Shen Jia, whom he has always been at odds with, has seen it, what if she tells other people about it?
Chen Yue slammed the book shut and quickly inserted it into the gap where she had just taken the book, pretending nothing had happened.
Seeing the amusement in Shen Jia's eyes, he suppressed his trembling voice and said, "Don't even think about telling your family about this. They won't believe you even if you do. Compared to you, my position in everyone's mind is much more important."
It was the first time in so many years that Shen Jia heard such a harmless threat. Seeing Shen Yue almost crying in anxiety, she did not have the hobby of meddling in other people's affairs.
"You can think whatever you want," he turned around and started looking for what he wanted.
Looking at Shen Jia who was not affected by her words at all, Shen Yue felt even worse, as if there was a knife hanging over her head.
Shen Yue, who felt like she had been caught, didn't want to stay here any longer and trotted away from the bookshelf.
Fuqiu looked at the second young lady like this and felt that her life was much worse than before. In the past, no sister in the family dared to speak to her like this.
“Miss, do you want to tell the Shen family about Shen Yue’s neglect of you?”
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!
