In addition, Mr. Wu sometimes teaches the girls how to make wine and how to make more delicious sauces and pickles, such as soybean paste, fermented bean curd, chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame paste, sesame oil, etc. when they are interested. It also includes some simple home-cooked recipes, cooking techniques, etc. in food herbal medicine, proper diet, dietary taboos, and Ding Ding Ji. The girls are more interested. Some girls are very talented, and they also like to study hard. After they get married, they actually get rich and become famous by making pickles. This is something that Mr. Wu did not expect.
As expected by those smart people before, girls in Maple Leaf Village are really hard to find a daughter, and all four villages and eight townships are proud of marrying a girl from Maple Leaf Village as their wives. So everyone became more motivated to send their daughters to school, as if they were ashamed to say that their girls were from Maple Leaf Village if they didn't go to Mr. Wu's school for two or three years!
As a result, many people from other villages decided to invite their husbands to teach the girls in their own village while being envious and jealous. They couldn't let Fengye Village take all the benefits.
But who knows, the parents are happy and agree, it's hard to find a teacher for this professor!
As soon as I heard that it was invited to teach female students, many gentlemen and gentlemen refused immediately before listening to it. joke! Who is free to teach some female students? What they want to teach are male students who will be able to test for talents, raise people, and give them honor in the future!
There are also those down-and-out scholars who reluctantly agreed to make a living, but it's not like that at all to teach! That’s all for the Three-Character Classic and a hundred surnames. If you want to talk about “miscellaneous studies” such as painting, medicine, agriculture, cooking, etc., I’m sorry, I don’t know it, and I only know the four books and five classics. And the main thing is to teach, and then to recite, the girls learned it very hard, and the villagers were very disappointed, and it didn't take long for it to stop.
As a result, Maple Leaf Village's reputation became even bigger unconsciously!
In this world, there is only one Mr. Wu.
Sister Lu Xiaoshu has also studied in the school for a year or two. Xiaoxue has become more and more gentle and elegant, with a quiet temperament, and Lu Xiaoshu? She is only interested in painting, not for other reasons, just because she thinks that if she paints well, she can sell them for money, and she will not be afraid to travel all over the world in the future. Moreover, she was also quite talented in painting in her previous life, and her foundation was still very solid. What's more, it's not as troublesome as embroidery!
As for medicine and so on, she only asked, "Can you understand poison, Mr. Wu?" Mr. Wu scolded her and punished her to copy a thousand characters from the book. She was so depressed that she never dared to mention it again.
However, her talent in painting is indeed very high, and she is very attentive. Mr. Wu was very pleased, so he devoted himself to teaching her. At the age of nine, Mr. Wu was surprised when he saw the flowers, birds and figures he painted, and praised her "" Quite spiritual", he began to teach her landscape paintings that are more difficult, can improve the level, and give full play to the spirituality of understanding.
At this time, Mr. Wu obviously regarded her as a formal disciple and made strict demands on her. He not only rented rubbing books from many famous artists from the county to explain, copy, and figure out for her, but also wrote about different weather, time and season conditions and took her to the mountains. Observe the black pine forest when the mountain rain is about to come, the mountains under the rising sun at the beginning of the morning sun, the misty mist on the peaks of the forest in the early morning... you will be reprimanded if you are careless or flawed. Lu Xiaoshu was naturally unwilling to admit defeat, and seeing the white flowers beckoning in front of him, he gritted his teeth and persevered. The progress was surprisingly fast. After studying for more than three months, the landscapes he drew, no matter whether they were clear and elegant or The majestic and majestic style has its own style, and Mr. Wu couldn't help sighing.
This day, I just completed a sound map of Songxi Spring, which was greatly appreciated by Mr. Wu. Seeing Mr. Wu's smiling and very satisfied expression, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr., the stream is very interesting. Mr. Wu also said that there will be There are mountain frogs and fish, it must taste very good. Sir, call my brother, my father and little uncle, and we will catch mountain frogs and fish tonight, okay?"
Mr. Wu scolded her for a moment, and seeing her looking at him earnestly, he couldn't help being amused, and sighed helplessly: "I said, you little girl, why are you still so evasive! Look at Xiaoxue, look at other girls , look at yourself, the past two years have been wasted!"
Lu Xiaoshu secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking that they are real girls, and I'm just a counterfeit, can this compare? Seeing that Mr. Wu didn't directly refuse, he knew that there was room for negotiation on this matter, so he tugged at Mr. Wu's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Mr. Good, you just agree to it! I have been quiet for a long time and haven't gone out to cause trouble!"
"Don't talk, don't talk!" Mr. Wu frowned and pulled back his sleeve, sighed: "Forget it, I think the weather is good tonight, so let's go! Ask your parents to make dinner early, I will go over Let's eat together, and when we're done, we'll head out!"
Lu Xiaoshu was overjoyed, he hurriedly agreed with a cheer, and ran home happily. After learning to paint by herself, she followed Mr. Wu through many mountains and forests. She has almost learned Mr. Wu's hunting skills in the wild, and she can almost handle it alone!
Lu Xiaoshu rushed home in high spirits, her mother went out to sell tofu, so she and her little aunt started to make dinner early. Tong Yu'er couldn't help laughing when she heard her talking happily, but shook her head helplessly and let her go.
This year is another Spring Festival. Originally, Miao Chuhe was supposed to go to the capital to take the exam. Unfortunately, when he was about to go out, Jin'er suddenly fell ill, and the attack was fierce, scaring the whole family. Tong Yu'er was so sad that she cried behind her back, and couldn't sleep because of worry all night. Now, how could Miao Chuhe have any intention to catch up with the exam? You can still go for the next exam, but if something happens to your son, what's the use of getting the number one in the exam? The family members also agree with him. The whole family guarded Jin'er, and it was not until half a month later that Jin'er slowly recovered, and it was too late to hurry, and Miao Chuhe was not completely relieved, so he simply didn't go. So at this time are at home.
As for Lu Qi, not long after retiring from Mr. Wu, he successfully entered Linjiazhuang as a teacher. Because of his good background and good understanding, and he has studied for a few years, he is immediately higher than others in comparison. A lot of it is highly valued by the Lin family. Now fourteen years old, he has already led an errand on the Lin family's pier. He is considered a small boss. He goes home every few days, and he is at home today.
After Miao Cuilan, Lu Zhong and others came back, Mr. Wu also came, and the whole family had dinner, and sure enough, they went to the mountains. Miao Cuilan couldn't help but spit on her daughter again, Lu Xiaoshu didn't care about this, he put his arms around her neck with a smile and said, "Mother, I'll catch fish from the mountains for you, the streams in the mountains are all spring water, clear and sweet, It is rich in nutrition, and the fish there tastes very good! There is also the mountain frog, which is so big, it is caught and stir-fried with chili, ginger and garlic, it is very fragrant!"
"You! You just know how to play with these things! What can my mother say about you! I don't want to imitate your sister!" Miao Cuilan couldn't help laughing and pinched her face.
Lu Xiaoshu hated this the most. He hid it with a smile and said, "Mother, it's good to have one good daughter. If you want so many good daughters, don't you feel bored?"
Miao Cuilan said: "It's not boring, it's more refreshing! If you're angry all day long, that's boring!"
"Mother is joking with others again!" Lu Xiaoshu clapped his hands and smiled, then pulled his father and elder brother out. Xiaoxue hesitated for a while, but finally didn't go with them, and only said to Lu Xiaoshu: "Second sister, be careful, she's a fool!"
"It's my sister who loves me!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled sweetly, and they left after saying goodbye to Miao Cuilan and Tong Yu'er.
When the group of people went out, it was just dark, and it should be completely dark when they walked to Songxi, and there were about eight or nine li of mountain roads.
Lu Zhong walked along holding his daughter's hand, wanted to carry her for a while but Lu Xiaoshu refused. She was not very peaceful in the first place. When she was young, her calves were useless. How could she want someone to carry her now? Talking and laughing happily along the way.
After entering the Songxi Mountain Col, the sky darkened suddenly, covered by dense jungle trees, it seemed that nothing could be seen, even the last half-round moon that day did not see a ray or two of light shining through. Lu Qi and Lu Zhong lit the turpentine torches in their hands to light them up. This turpentine torch can withstand the mountain wind and is a must-have item for mountain people to travel at night.
A halo of light spread out, covering a small area, drawing long shadows, making the surroundings look even more gloomy. Night owls and chirping insects sang non-stop everywhere, and all kinds of long, short, sharp or melodious sounds merged into a special chorus of mountains and forests. The evening wind blows, and the body and face are cold.
"Are you afraid?" Miao Chuhe asked Lu Xiaoshu with a smile.
Mr. Wu and Lu Qi couldn't help laughing.
Lu Xiaoshu shook his head, his beautiful watery eyes sparkled, and he said with great interest, "Don't be afraid! I really like this place!"
Lu Qi said quickly: "Little uncle, it's useless for you to ask such a question, if she was afraid, she wouldn't push it!"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoshu turned around and grimaced at him, baring his teeth.
For a while, I walked out of the pine forest in a winding way, the eyes were dimly lit, the moonlight poured down unobstructed, and the sound of the gurgling stream could be heard. The sound was clean and pleasant, as if you don't need to look at it, just listen to it to know that the stream must be crystal clear.
"It's just ahead!" Several people were all refreshed.
As we get closer and closer to Songxi, the fog and tide become heavier and the sound of the gurgling stream becomes clearer and clearer. When we turn around a bend, the eyes are bright and open, and we can see in the relatively open mountain streams, there are huge and different shapes. Under the moonlight, the rocks lie quietly in the clear and shallow stream. The flowing water under the direct moonlight glows faintly, while the rest is dark. Amidst the sound of gurgling water, the deep croaking of frogs came from all directions at a leisurely pace.
"There are so many stone frogs!" Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help feeling excited.
At this time, the torches in everyone's hands were lit and scattered all over the stream. Lu Zhong hurriedly told Lu Xiaoshu: "Be careful where you step, the moss on the stone is slippery!" He also asked Lu Qi to follow Lu Xiaoshu.
