Grandpa Gu tapped Gu Xinran's forehead with his finger, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Did you draw all these? Not to mention it's quite interesting."
Xiaolan looked around and pointed at the dark red Peppa Pig and said, "Isn't this a pig? Very interesting. If it were made into a stuffed doll, I think many children would like it."
Gu Xinran remembered that cartoon dolls were very popular before the end of the world. It was a good business and could be made into comic strips and published.
I forgot that printing is not available here, but you can still write children's storybooks.
There are almost no children's books in this era, so adapting the animated stories that I used to watch as a child should be very popular.
After it becomes popular, you can develop peripheral products, such as dolls, pillows, clay statues...
Oh, you are thinking too far ahead. There are thousands of ideas to make money, but Gu Xinran only has one: do the task at hand first.
Everyone harnessed the ox carts in joy. Gu Xinran asked Xiaolan to wait for the Qingshan villagers and asked her to charge thirty cents for each cart.
After returning to the Gu Mansion, Gu Xinran asked Butler Zhao to take good care of her grandfather and asked Ling Yun to accompany him for protection. She took Potato and went straight back to her room. She also told Xiaomei not to disturb her unless it was something serious.
As soon as the door was closed, he took Potato into the space.
She cooked one first, and soon the familiar aroma wafted out, making her even more certain that it was a potato.
Gu Xinran tore off the skin and tried it. It did taste like potato, but the skin was darker in color and the potato was only the size of an egg. She didn't know if it was because of the poor production environment or the poor variety.
Hope the space can be optimized.
She finished the long-lost potatoes in two bites and recalled how she and her grandmother grew potatoes when she was a child.
Cut the potatoes into small pieces according to the buds. In the past, after cutting the buds of large potatoes, there would still be a piece of potato flesh left in the middle.
This small potato is definitely not good. There are only a few buds on it. The big one can be divided into four pieces, but the small one can only be planted as a whole.
Roll the cut sprouts in wood ash, and when the cut surface is covered with ash, you can plant them in the ground.
Maybe space planting doesn't need to be so complicated, but with this little experiment, what if it fails? Where can I go to cry?
Gu Xinran did it herself and planted them in the vegetable garden. In order for them to grow well, she also sprinkled some diluted spiritual spring water.
Looking forward to a good harvest soon, she has recently felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety, worried that the drought in the west will continue next year and affect Jinzhou.
There wasn’t much rain in Jinzhou Prefecture this winter. I don’t know if this is normal, but I feel more at ease knowing that I can prepare some drought-resistant crops.
Even if there is no drought, potatoes are a good food choice due to their high yield.
Looking at the potatoes sprouting small white sprouts under the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, French fries, vinegar-stirred potato shreds, pork ribs and potato soup, potato noodles... all kinds of potato delicacies floated through my mind, and I couldn't help swallowing my saliva.
It took more than an hour to do all this. After washing up, I left the space and opened the door. Xiaomei was wandering outside the house, hesitating whether to knock on the door and invite her to lunch.
The good mood of having potatoes continued, and I walked into the dining hall happily. Oh, someone came to eat.
Duan Yunchi sat carefree on the table, looking at Gu Xinran with a smile, "Little darling Tingting said you told a good story yesterday, I want to listen to it too."
Gu Xinran rolled her eyes at him, "How old are you? You still like to hear these things."
"No matter how old you are, it doesn't matter how much you enjoy listening to stories."
After speaking, he glanced at everyone at the table and continued, "Look at everyone's eager eyes. Do you have the heart to disappoint us?"
Tingting added fuel to the fire, "Sister, I've been very good today, just to listen to your stories."
Alas, what can I do? The cute kid couldn’t refuse and nodded in agreement.
But Duan Yunchi wanted to listen, so he had to make some sacrifices. "I'm fine with listening to the story, but Brother Yunchi, are you free this afternoon if you can go out with me?"
"What can I do for you? Ranran's matter is the most important. I have to make time for it even if I don't have time."
Oh, are you being so sweet today? Gu Xinran praised, "You really are the best cousin. Brother Xiao should have told you that I want to take Xuanxuan to visit Master Dou this afternoon. It's better to do it sooner rather than later."
When it comes to business, Duan Yunchi is not vague, but what he says is not very pleasant to hear.
"I came here just for this matter. The Grand Tutor is very boring and has high demands. If Xuanxuan really becomes his disciple, he will suffer in the future."
Grandma Gu, Mother Gu and Xuanxuan who were standing nearby were completely confused. Are they planning to find a tutor as their teacher?
This was a big deal. Several people looked at Gu Xinran, especially Xuanxuan, with a gleam in his eyes. Even though he was only six years old, he was already thinking about making a name for himself in his little head.
His elder brother has already started to pursue his career, so he cannot fall too far behind. He has to be a support for his sister and family, and also avenge his father.
He has learned a lot by himself recently. He can recite the enlightenment books by heart and has even started to read the Four Books. However, without a teacher to answer his questions, he can only understand half of the knowledge. He really wants a teacher to guide him.
It seems my sister is planning to find him a top-notch tutor. A tutor! He must be very knowledgeable. Great!
Gu Xinran promptly explained, "Grand Tutor Dou is the current prince's teacher. He resigned at the age of seventy and returned to his hometown. He is now living in Jinzhou Prefecture. Brother Xiao wrote a letter of recommendation, recommending Xuanxuan to become his disciple."
Everyone was delighted after hearing this. A good teacher produces good students. If you can learn from a great teacher, you will probably avoid many detours.
Duan Yunchi was naturally happy to see everyone happy, but it would be extremely difficult to accomplish this task, so he couldn't be happy blindly.
He sat up straight and spoke seriously, "Taifu Dou is indeed very capable, and even Li Daru has to respect him as his mentor.
I've occasionally given lectures in recent years, but I haven't accepted any disciples in over ten years. The threshold for accepting students is like a ladder to heaven, Xuanxuan, you must be mentally prepared."
Everyone's smiles disappeared instantly, and everyone's faces looked heavy!
Xuanxuan, on the other hand, remained calm. He believed in his own abilities. "Thank you, Brother Xiao, for giving me the opportunity. Brother Yunchi and everyone else, please rest assured. I will succeed."
Gu Xinran likes people who are confident and motivated. "Come on, Xuanxuan, you are the best. I will work hard with you."
Next, everyone discussed the important matter of becoming a disciple while eating, and the meal ended with the discussion.
Everyone had forgotten about the storytelling except Tingting, who kept thinking about it. She knew that something important had to be done, and although she was unhappy she didn't make a fuss. She just kept looking at her sister, shaking her head and sighing, looking very cute.
Gu Xinran rubbed her little head and promised to tell her a story when she was done.
After the meal, Gu's mother helped Xuanxuan dress up. He wore a bamboo-embroidered Confucian robe, a small felt scarf on his head, and red lips and white teeth. A cute little scholar made a shining appearance.
Gu Xinran prepared a jar each of Ganoderma lucidum and tiger bone wine, and paired them with various fruits and fine pastries. She changed into slightly more gorgeous dresses, and the three of them set off together.
Dou Taifu lived in an elegant manor located in Xicheng District.
Two quarters of an hour after Duan Yunchi handed over the visiting card, a servant appeared and led the three people in.
Along the way, there were pavilions and corridors, and winding paths leading to secluded places. It took a quarter of an hour to reach the main hall where guests were received.
As soon as I sat down, I heard a commotion outside and I didn't know what was going on.
