Chapter 689



"I heard that girls will also be able to attend the academy, but I don't know if it's true or not." Fang Miaojuan said again.

"That's what I heard, I'm not sure." Zhang Zirong replied.

This time Zhang Zifu and his wife did not come back, otherwise he could have gone and asked them.

For Chi Zixuan, the identities of the two families were too different, and he didn't have the face to ask.

But Zhang Zifu is different, Zhang Zifu is his brother.

Of course, these are not the most important.

Compared with the heaviest Wang Xiuying and Jian Xiu, Wang Xiuying is easier to talk to.

This college was proposed by Jian Xiu.

Ever since he saw Jian Xiu teach the second wife a lesson with his own eyes last time, Zhang Zirong felt a sense of fear when facing Jian Xiu.

There were also things that happened on the battlefield, which he did not witness with his own eyes.

But the fact that a woman can go into battle and kill the enemy shows that she is not an ordinary person.

"Let's ignore these for now and focus on the grapes. I think the grapes are growing pretty well this year and there's enough rain. I picked two today and they're very sweet."

Fang Miaojuan said excitedly.

This is the result of their three years of labor. It would be a lie to say they are not excited.

at the same time.

Jian Xiu was also in the field checking the grapes grown in her own field.

She knew nothing about the things in the old house.

"How is it? Is it sweet enough?" Aunt Zhou asked nervously.

She had also tasted this grape, and to her, it was both sweet and sour.

I don't know if I have met Jian Xiu's requirements.

Jian Xiu had already mentioned some of the requirements for the grapes when she handed the land over to her.

The most important thing is the sweetness and acidity of the grapes, it is best to get it just right.

Not too sweet, nor too sour.

She didn't know why Jian Xiu asked for such a high price.

In her opinion, aren't the sweeter the grapes, the better?

However, Jian Xiu required a certain degree of acidity.

This really put her in a difficult position.

Fortunately, they were cleared up later and taught how to plant.

From transplanting to grafting...

Each step is explained in detail.

They just need to follow the steps he said.

"Not bad, very good. Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Zhou." Jian Xiu said with satisfaction after tasting the grapes.

Indeed, she is satisfied. If she was not satisfied, Jian Xiu would not have said such words.

She never does superficial work. If it's good, it's good; if it's not good, it's not good.

When Aunt Zhou heard Jian Xiu's words, she almost jumped up with excitement.

Not to mention Aunt Zhou, Zhang Wenyuan who was standing by was also completely relieved after hearing this.

"So in your opinion, when is the best time to harvest these grapes?" Zhang Wenyuan asked Jian Xiu.

This was his first time planting grapes. Normally, he would just plant one tree randomly in his yard.

I have never tried to plant large tracts of land all of a sudden.

For these villagers, the land can also be used to grow something that can fill their stomachs.

No matter how good the grapes taste, they are still not as filling as sweet potatoes.

This kind of thing can be eaten or not.

I used to pick one in the yard at home whenever I wanted to eat it, but it’s different now. Now they are planted in large areas.

If you're not careful, you might not be able to meet Jian Xiu's requirements, and that would be a waste.

Others may not know, but Zhang Wenyuan knows very well that these grapes of Jian Xiu will be of great use.

Jian Xiu nodded, pointed to a bunch of grapes and replied, "If the color and softness are like this, you can pick them."

Hearing this, Zhang Wenyuan and Aunt Zhou both stepped forward and pinched the bunch of grapes.

"Okay, I'll go back to the village and notify the villagers to start harvesting."

As he said this, Zhang Wenyuan picked up the scissors in his hand and cut the bunch of grapes.

If I want to tell the villagers, I must take this bunch of grapes back with me.

At the same time, I picked one and tried it.

"Mm, this tastes really good, sweeter than the one in my yard."

Zhang Wenyuan said truthfully.

"It's not good to be too sweet either, add some sourness, so it will taste better."

Jian Xiu continued walking forward and talking.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, but the fields were full of grapes.

Smelling the fresh air of the countryside, Jian Xiu felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.

Isn't this the life she wants?

In her previous life, she was on missions all the time, without a moment's rest.

Later she had a lot of money, but she was no longer qualified to stop.

Because once she stopped, she might be doomed and even lose her life.

She had too many enemies in her previous life.

But it's different here, she enjoys the peace that the village brings her at this moment.

She doesn't have to think hard about what to eat.

Not to mention how she would arrange her future life.

Because as long as she returns here, her future will be bright, she doesn't need to worry about so many things, she just needs to be herself.

When I returned to Chi's house again, Chi Zixuan was no longer in the room.

"Where is the master? Where did he go?" Jian Xiu looked at Zhang Yi who was standing beside her and asked.

"He seemed to have gone to the college to have a look." Zhang Yi replied.

"College? Hasn't things started moving over there yet? What is he doing there?" Jian Xiu was curious.

Only when she entered the room and saw that the college design she had drawn had disappeared, she had a rough idea in her mind.

I think he also saw that I was busy and wanted to share some of the burden with me.

But it’s better this way, let him take care of the college affairs.

She just needs to focus all her attention on wine.

Thinking of this, Jian Xiu picked up the pen again and carefully wrote the recipe for making wine on the rice paper.

Tomorrow the villagers started picking grapes, so she asked people to start preparing them in the workshop.

The first step in making grapes is to wash and crush the grapes.

In fact, making wine is very simple and not difficult.

Therefore, it must be difficult for her to monopolize this formula.

However, as long as she controlled all the grapes in the county, it would not be difficult.

Therefore, before harvesting grapes in the Ming Dynasty, she would sign a contract with each household.

Thinking of this, Jian Xiu called Xiaohong from behind in again.

"Madam, are you looking for me?" Xiaohong came in hurriedly and asked.

"Yes, please help me draw up a contract. The general meaning is that I will buy the grapes at a price slightly higher than the usual price, but they must guarantee that the grapes will belong to my Chi Mansion within this year."
