Chapter 79 First update on the 20th
In the Jiang family's yard, several children moved a large round table and a few benches, and in the middle of the table stood a pot of sour plum and sweet ice soup, as well as many small bamboo tubes. Everyone looked at it eagerly.
Jiang Jiabao was ladling soup for several people. Li Shushen was considered a guest. He got the first bowl, took a sip, and then another sip slowly. It was hard to tell from his face whether the soup tasted good or not.
The few people waiting couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. I wonder if it tastes good or not. I wonder if people are waiting impatiently?
No one is not eager, and Jiang Changan is the same. The second bowl is hers.
The bowl was blue-gray, filled with brown sweet ice soup. It looked really beautiful. There was a cold swish on the edge of the bowl. Jiang Changan opened his mouth and took a big sip, "It tastes good! It's sour and sweet, and the ice is cool."
, very refreshing.”
Sure enough, there still needs to be ice in summer.
"Ah! It tastes so good! Sister, shall we make it every day from now on?" Jiang Jiarong said, and finished the bowl. "I want more." With such a refreshing and delicious sugar water, no matter how much you drink, you won't be dissatisfied with it.
"I don't make it every day. The sour plum soup is not only sweet but also ice-cold. Children will have diarrhea if they drink too much. Jia Rong, you can only drink three bowls, not too much."
"Ah? What should I do? Second aunt made a lot, and it will go bad if I don't drink more." How can we waste food? That's Jingui's candy, right? Jiang Jiarong felt very regretful.
"How could it be broken? How many brothers and sisters are there?" As soon as Jiang Changan finished speaking, he saw someone from the eldest room entering the house.
The whole family in Dafang went to the fields. Even when they came back, they were not empty-handed. Some carried wild vegetables and some carried firewood. They were extremely diligent. However, it was impossible to live a good life in this way alone. Moreover, they had to learn to carry loess back every day.
Chaotian can only fill your stomach at best, and you have already seen the end of the future.
"Brother Jiawen, Sister Xing and Sister Tao, come and drink sugar water. It's iced. It's delicious." Why don't the others stop shouting? Where can I put the honor of calling her daddy? They don't treat you as a brother.
When Boss Jiang saw that Jiang Changan didn't call him, he immediately got angry. With such a precious thing as ice water, he didn't know how to show respect to his elders first. Now his uncle is not even as good as an outsider?
Before Jiang Jiawen could answer, Boss Jiang yelled fiercely, "Why don't you hurry up and start cooking? Why are you wasting your time? Haven't you seen that I'm going to starve to death?"
I spend all my time raising you white-eyed wolves and unfilial things."
A discerning person would immediately know that Boss Jiang was criticizing Sang and Huai, but Jiang Changan didn't want to pay attention to it at all.
Who would have expected it, but Mrs. Jiang ran out of the kitchen, opened her mouth and cursed back, "You are not just a white-eyed wolf, your parents don't support you, you have squandered all your family wealth, and you still get close to your enemies.
This is not only unfilial, but also stupid. When you cry, you are such a big idiot!" She raised this son in vain, and Mrs. Jiang has never been relieved.
"Jiawen, Xing'er, Tao'er, all of you come over here. If you don't cook today, I wonder if he will starve to death?
Don't worry, if he dies, your grandma will take care of you. She won't beat or scold you. She will send the boy to school and give the girl a dowry.
You idiot, when you grew up, did your father and I beat you or scold you? You read it wrong when we sent you to school, and you grew up to be such a crooked dog.
If you don’t want to be your own brother, just go out and make friends with those jackals, tigers, and leopards, and you’re just going to be chewed until your bones are left!”
Mrs. Jiang's thinking was clearer than ever before, and she pointed at Mr. Jiang's nose and scolded her bloody.
Boss Jiang was not angry, but he did not dare to contradict his mother, so he went into the house.
Of course the food in the main room was cooked by Mr. Li.
Following grandma's instructions, the three elder brothers and sisters put down the things in their hands, washed their hands, and then joined Jiang Changan.
When Mrs. Jiang saw this, she fell back into the kitchen with a groan. She had already drank the rock sugar water.
"Come here, Sister Tao. This is yours, Sister Xing. Brother Jiawen gives it to you. It's sour and sweet. It's delicious." Jiang Jiabao handed the filled rock sugar water to the elder brother and sister.
"It tastes good. Where did you get the ice water?" Jiang Jiawen was curious. Is the second house rich enough? Can they even buy ice in the summer? Or did Li Shushen give it to him?
Jiang Jiawen glanced at Li Shushen.
"It's made of saltpeter. It's the kind of stone that can turn into ice when crushed and poured with water." Jiang Changan pointed to the saltpeter under the corridor.
Now Lian Namu's Xingtao sisters looked over curiously. Isn't that kind of white stone from the mass graves?
Of course, the Xingtao sisters had been to Luanfen Mang. Others did not dare to go, but they had no choice. If they could not collect a certain amount of wild vegetables, their father would be angry and beat people when he was angry, and there were more wild vegetables in that area.
"No wonder, I saw the third uncle and the third aunt picking up a lot of these stones, and there were also other villagers." It's just that Jiang Laosan picked a lot, but it turns out that this is saltpeter? It's very valuable.
"Really, can I drink rock sugar water every day from now on?" The rock sugar water was free, and Jiang Jiarong instantly regained his vitality.
I don't think so. Jiang Changan raised his lips and smiled, but didn't say it out loud.
"After drinking the ice water, there are still popsicles. Come on, one for each of us." Jiang Changan poured out the popsicles from the bamboo tube and gave each of them one.
"Now, we are finally going to talk about the 'miracle cure'. The monthly exam at the end of the month is coming soon, and now we are going to brush up on the questions."
"What do you mean by brushing the questions? Can you pass the exam by brushing the questions?" Several people studying there listened attentively. The panacea sounded very powerful.
"We just set and answer the questions ourselves. If you don't know how to do it, I can help you. As long as you have done a lot of questions, you will be deeply impressed. You don't have to be afraid when there are similar questions in the exam."
But, in fact, Jiang Changan can't ask questions, because the private school on the mountain has never really taken an exam, not even the monthly exam. So what are the types of questions in ancient times?
"Ah? Doesn't that mean we have to take exams every day?" Jiang Jiawang wanted to cry. Reading was too difficult. He thought it was some kind of panacea. It was not as comfortable as the bowl of ice water in his hand.
"Do it a few more times, and you will want to do the questions yourself in the future, wishing you could take the exam every day." Because doing the questions is really addictive, and Jiang Changan often can't stop anyway.
"But, what questions are going to be asked?" They are all students, how could they ask the same questions as Master? Jiang Jiaxing felt that it was impossible.
"Li Shushen, please come and summarize the styles and classifications of the question types. I will give you different questions based on the book. Then I will look at your personal strengths and weaknesses and pick up your weaknesses to make up for them."
Isn't this just a question? I didn't expect Jiang Changan to know that these are tricks that only the upper class in the capital like to play.
Because, unless you are a very powerful person, the quizzes are definitely not accurate, and the price is so expensive that ordinary people generally cannot afford it.
Li Shushen nodded quickly and agreed, "Okay, get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone." He also wanted to see how Jiang Changan solved the problem.
The types of questions in the monthly examination are the same as those in the imperial examination. Generally, the examination will be based on the progress of study.
Li Shushen quickly drew up a test paper. He had seen this kind of thing many times in his previous life, and it was not difficult at all.
Jiang Changan looked at the question types and the content in the textbook at the same time, and combined the two to come up with the questions. At the same time, starting from the lower level, he used the simplest, vivid and interesting method to review the knowledge in the textbook to his brothers.
The Jiang family brothers were suddenly enlightened. In fact, it was so simple, so why did they think it was so complicated before? After hearing what Chang'an said, reading was actually very simple, and they remembered it instantly.
After old man Jiang got tired of playing with the cart, he finally came out of the backyard, still in the excitement and happiness of being able to make wheels.
When I returned to the front yard, I suddenly saw a group of grandchildren with their heads leaning against their heads, looking at reading seriously. Their old eyes suddenly became filled with mist. What a wonderful, harmonious scene.
Everyone was happy, only Jiang Jiawen looked gloomy, because he could no longer study. What a cruel thing it was after he found a way to study.
Old Man Jiang saw this and decided to have a talk with him after dinner.
