When the capital was in turmoil, the book "Travels of a Solitary Man" finally reached Chongcheng County.
In Chongcheng County, this book costs one and a half guan, or 1,500 wen.
At present, one tael of silver is worth about 1,300 coins... This book is sold at a much higher price in Chongcheng County than in the provincial capital, but there are still many people buying it.
Qiongdu Sanren is quite famous, and... the news about this book has already spread to Chongcheng County!
"I heard that this "Travels of a Solitary Man" describes a world of great harmony that no one has ever heard of!"
"This book is different, it has a sentence printed on it!"
"People in the provincial capital are rushing to buy this book. I want to buy it and read it too."
…
One of the teachers in Li Qingzhi's school bought this book and brought it to the school to read.
This person was Li Qingzhi's classmate when he studied with Li Xiucai.
He had average education and failed to even pass the county exam, but his family owned a shop and had some money.
However, his family's shop would be inherited by his eldest brother in the future. As the third child in the family, he would at most be given some land, so he had to find a way to make a living for himself.
He wanted to be a shopkeeper, but he couldn't find a suitable one.
Li Qingzhi is a teacher here.
As a teacher at Chongcheng Primary School, his income was not high, but his father was still alive and the shop was still in his father's hands, so he had more money on hand and could buy any books he wanted.
"This... After controlling the temperature, eggs can be hatched without a hen?" The man was very curious, "I want to try it!"
Several other teachers were standing next to him reading books and were just as curious and wanted to give it a try.
It’s just that the temperature for incubating eggs has to be maintained day and night, which is a bit troublesome.
"Don't worry about that for now, just keep reading." someone said.
The teacher who bought the book heard this and continued reading.
When Li Qingzhi brought Qian Changsheng in, he heard the teachers reading "A Solitary Journey".
Li Qingzhi got up early this morning.
It is already February, Chongcheng County has become much warmer and the daybreaks come earlier.
Recently, the primary school has been back on track and does not need Li Qingzhi to watch over him all the time. He has started to eat at home so that he can also spend time with Li Damao and Li Ermao.
After he got up today, he took Li Damao, Li Ermao and Zhao Xiaodou to read in the morning, just like he did in the past.
Li Laogen went to the teahouse to drink tea as usual, and his family had breakfast with Chang Zhan and Chang Cui.
Since there are few people in the family, Chang Zhan has time to prepare some delicious food. For example, today, he made bamboo shoots and shepherd's purse wontons.
Shepherd's purse is a common wild vegetable in Chongcheng County. It can often be seen in the fields, but rural people generally do not dig it up to eat.
Firstly, this kind of wild vegetable will not taste good without oil. Secondly... Shepherd's purse is small and you can't dig up much even after digging for a long time. The energy wasted by eating the shepherd's purse can't be recovered at all!
But rural people don't like it, but city people do. People in the city who have no worries about food and clothing like to take their children out of the city to dig shepherd's purse to eat. Rich families don't dig it themselves, but buy it to eat.
The shepherd's purse in Li Qingzhi's house was dug by Jin Xiaogu's daughter-in-law Liu Danniu, who asked Jin Xiaogu to send it over.
Liu Danniu was a very nice person. She would send them some vegetables from time to time, so Li Qingzhi had a good impression of her.
