After transmigrating,The Female Supporting Character Became Darling of The Five

Chapter 106: Su Jing's Thoughts

　　I have already promised Wan Wan. If I break the promise, then the image of me as the eldest brother in her heart will be greatly reduced.
　　After so many years of hard preparation for the exam, he had already learned everything he could. Memorizing by rote is useless. Applying what you have learned is the hard truth.
　　Su Jing was a little helpless about the old-fashioned policy of the academy. He wanted to reunite with his family, but he could not go against his teacher's words.
　　Just when he was at a loss, Su Chen came and said that his family members were not feeling well and asked him to go back to see them.
　　Now that he used this excuse, there was no reason not to let him go, right?
　　But Su Jing really thought that his parents were not feeling well, so he hurriedly packed up his things and went back with Su Chen. Su Mu was also there, waiting at the gate of the academy with a bag on his back. He was wearing new clothes made by Su Wan, which were very warm. Su Chen also asked him to go back all the way today.
　　Su Jing realized that it was just a set of rhetoric after he left the academy. Su Wan guessed that he could not get away and asked Su Chen to say that.
　　Today is the 28th. The family is already making shaqi ma to sell in the state capital. They will be made overnight, and the family will go to the state capital early tomorrow morning.
　　Jiang Yu had already arranged the carriage, and they could set off as soon as their eldest brother came back.
　　Hearing that it was a false alarm, Su Jing heaved a sigh of relief. He packed all his clothes and books, and did not plan to continue studying at the academy after the New Year.
　　Knowing that his eldest and second brothers were coming back, Su Wan specially asked Su Yun and Su Yi to go to the county to buy mutton yesterday. They bought five catties of mutton, and saw wild black fish, so they also bought a few. This thing is the most nutritious when stewed in soup.
　　After so long, the trap dug by Su Chen and Jiang Yu finally received good news. When the two of them went up the mountain to check, a wild boar fell into the trap and was already dying. After the snowfall, a layer of white quilt was added to the trap to better cover the hole. The wild boar also learned to be smart. After being fooled so many times, it actually learned to avoid the trap.
          As a result, the snow blinded it and it accidentally fell down.
　　Su Chen had been following his master for so many years and had been hunting with him. He had some experience. When it snowed, he couldn't wait to ask Jiang Yu to go up the mountain to have a look. He
　　had been disappointed several times in a row and didn't have much hope. He was counting on catching a few rabbits in the fields at the foot of the mountain while the snow was still there.
　　Oh, there was also a pregnant wild rabbit. It had already given birth to nine cubs. Father Su made a nest for it with straw, which was very warm and there was no need to worry about freezing to death.
　　He looked at these livestock every day and felt that the days were getting more and more promising and lively. He fed them with fresh white radishes every day. Rabbits have no moral principles. When they grow up, they can continue to mate. In the future, there will be more and more rabbits, and the family will not lack meat to eat, and they can also sell them for money.
　　The wild boar in the trap weighed more than 200 kilograms. Uncle Jiang carried it down with them. When the time comes, he will cut 10 kilograms of meat for him and give him a pig's trotter as a reward.
　　The 240-pound wild boar was caught just before the New Year, so the Su family can have a fat year without lacking meat.
　　Father Su thought that their family couldn't eat so much, so he took 50 to 60 pounds to smoke bacon, and kept a few dozen pounds to eat fresh in the cold winter, because he was afraid that too much would go bad.
　　The pig's stomach, trotters, liver, large intestine and other offal had to be kept, totaling several dozen pounds. His two good friends came to help kill the pig, and invited them to have a pig-killing dinner. He also cut a few pounds of meat for each of them to take back, and gave Uncle Jiang's share, so the wild boar was almost done.
　　The pig's blood was used to be boiled in the pot, and Su Wan was going to braise the pig's head to make braised pig's face and braised pig's ears. There was ready-made soy sauce, which could be used to make brine. When
　　Su Jin and Su Mu returned home, they didn't expect the house to be so lively, with chickens and rabbits, and a lot of pork hanging on the stove.
　　The mutton was sliced into slices, the pig's blood was also in pieces, and there was braised pig's face.
　　Su Wan braised it overnight last night, and the taste was well received. Su's father said that it was another good dish to go with wine.
　　But it would be even better if there was chili oil.
　　As soon as Su Jing and Su Mu stepped into the house, Su Wan came to pick them up.
　　"Brother, brother, you are finally back!"
　　"Slow down, the ground is slippery." Su Jing held her arm, fearing that she would fall.
　　"Are you cold? There is a stove in the room, it is very warm, come in and warm yourself by the fire."
　　The two brothers put their things back in the room, and then gathered around the stove in the room to warm themselves by the fire.
        When he saw Jiang Yu at the door, Su Jing greeted him.
　　"Ayu, long time no see, how are you?"
　　He has not been back since he left the house, and it has been several months since he last saw him.
　　"Brother Su, I am already well, thank you for your concern." Jiang Yu politely clasped his fists to him.
　　Sitting together and chatting about the recent things at home, Su Mu realized that so many things had happened when he was not at home.
　　Of course, he also heard about the trip to the prefecture from Su Chen on the way. Even his elder brother in the academy knew about it, but he didn't know. Su Wan didn't tell him in person. He thought to himself, it's not surprising, but he didn't say anything after all.
　　The food on the table was all hard dishes, basically all meat. The rice at home was now eaten as much as you want, without worrying about running out of money to buy more.
　　The family finally got together and had a good meal.
　　Father Su was so happy that he drank a few more glasses of wine.
　　In the evening, Su Wan asked Su Jing how he was doing with the policy theory on flood control.
　　Su Jing nodded, adopted Su Wan's suggestions, and added some ideas of his own.
　　During this period, he kept looking for books that recorded this aspect, learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and constantly improving. He even drew a blueprint himself, which was about dam construction.
　　After Su Wan saw it, he thought it was pretty good, and it had a bit of the flavor of Dujiangyan.
　　"Brother is really smart and knows how to convert. This blueprint is well designed, but I don't quite understand it. It depends on the result after practice!"
　　Su Wan said as he returned the blueprint to him.
　　"I hope there will be a chance to practice it. This is just a random drawing I made. It cannot be adopted. It needs to be improved. I can't figure it out by myself. Only by going to the disaster area in person can I find the right remedy. In fact, I have another idea, but I don't know whether I should write it in the policy paper."
　　"What idea is it, brother? Tell me." Su Wan was very interested.
　　"If the palace examination is really an essay, I will write this proposal in the essay. I understand that the Xuanhe River basin is very poor due to floods, mainly because taxes have not been reduced. The people's lives are already difficult, and they have to pay the same taxes as other places. At the same time, they have to bear the impact of floods, resulting in many places without any harvest. Many refugees abandon their hometowns and pour into other towns, bringing a lot of trouble to these cities.
　　But if the taxes in the Xuanhe River basin can be reduced, it will definitely reduce a lot of burdens for local people. They will also be willing to return to their hometowns, continue farming, and plant trees. When the floods are resolved, life will get better and better, and Xuanhe will become more and more prosperous."
