Take the mall to Datang

So after a while, they visited porcelain bowls and jars of different sizes in the temporary shed. Yuan Shan saw that Ruolan was sweating slightly on her busy head and hurriedly wiped it with her sleeves. The two are really loving and peaceful when they are looked at by outsiders.

With the help of more than a dozen farmers, all the medicinal materials in the medicinal food shed were put into different earthen jars according to classification, and they were also marked in detail. I simply sewed one piece of the gown style. In order to sew this coarse cloth gown, I also deliberately made a small manual sewing machine. The garment making is also very simple.

The mask is also made of coarse cloth, which has been stacked repeatedly. It didn’t take much time to make it. The black-bone chicken has been de-clawed as required and started to be boiled together with medicine, ten servings at a time.

Making traditional Chinese medicine honey pills is not that simple. The materials need to be ground and boiled, and honey is also the key to making pills.

The honey Qin Qiong sent was not much, so he had no choice but to push away Dugu Ruolan and buy a large bucket of ready-made honey separately and pour it into a jar for later use.

It takes a long time to boil the medicine, and the thickness of the powder will greatly affect the taste, and for the first time to make it, Yuan Shan must record the heat and other data.

After a long wait, taking advantage of this moment, Yuan Shan began to write and draw again...

"Young master, the craftsmen of the Qin residence have arrived, ten of them in total." Yan Bei came over to report.

"Let them join the construction and receive the same treatment as craftsmen," Yuan Shan said.

There are a lot of people and there is a lot of strength. In the afternoon, the west row of houses on the west side has a rough outline.This progress greatly exceeded Yuan Shan's expectations.

The peasant households basically build their own houses. It should be said that they all have some experience, and with the arrangement of the craftsmen, the speed is naturally faster.

Yuan Shan checked the time, and it was time to make lunch, so he called Yan Bei to help with the medicine.

At this moment, Yuanshan added some seasonings to enhance the flavor while people were not paying attention. The staple food at night was boiled wide noodles, served with marinated soup. Once the fire was turned on, the aroma would come out.

It was still early before the meal time, and the enthusiasm of the dealers was mobilized again after the fire.

"Master Hou, let us do the rough work." It was the cooks who spoke.

"It's okay, cooking is my hobbies, as long as everyone finds it delicious." Yuan Shan said casually.

After a while, Yuan Shan and the women who helped the kitchen began to chatter about, how could there be no melon seeds, and a penny was exchanged for a lot, which happened to be divided among each person.

"Master Hou, is this edible?" the women asked since they had never seen such a thing.

"This is called sunflower seeds. I bought them from other places. The kernels of the sunflower seeds inside are edible." After speaking, Wan Yuanshan demonstrated to eat the sunflower seeds, making a crisp gnawing sound.

The woman who had eaten a few melon seeds suddenly asked, "Master Hou, can these melon seeds be planted?"

"Of course I can. It just so happens that I still have some seeds, and I will share them with you later. You can plant them wherever the sun shines." Yuan Shan also thought why not plant some by himself, otherwise sunflowers may have to wait until the Wanli Bingwu Year (the last year of the Ming Dynasty) 1606) was passed from Outland at that time.

"Wait, I'll go get it right away." After a while, Yuan Shan came back, holding sunflower seeds, followed the introduction in the instruction manual, and simply said some precautions in his own words.

These women don't want to sell melon seeds for money, but want to grow some for their own children to eat. What a pity for the parents of the world!

A few people were chatting about their daily life while knocking on melon seeds. The women didn't gossip much, they just talked about preparing for farming. After learning about this time, Yuan Shan knew how important his daily wage of five cents was to the farmers. It's because the food for the family is naturally not enough to eat, and the life of the farmers will be easier before this farming.

As soon as we chatted, the time passed quickly. At this time, the taste in the cauldron began to become stronger, and the heat was just right.

The women also started to get busy. The staple food is very simple. One piece of pressed lasagna is a large bowl, and with a large spoonful of marinated soup, the meal can be served.

"Master, today the prototype of the west row house on the west side has been set up, and the foundation of the south house in the outer courtyard is about to be completed. In addition, craftsmen Yang have also made ten long tables, one hundred long benches, and two wooden cart frames. The wheels have to wait for blacksmith Lu to iron the shaft before they can be used, and the money consumed today is estimated to be..."

After listening to the thoughtful work report, dinner has already been served there.

The farmers' meal was even more lively, the sound of sipping and walking was particularly wonderful, and seeing the joy of the farmers eating, Yuan Shan was also very happy.

"Steward Zhou, go and distribute all the wine to the farmers. Half a bowl should be enough for each person," Yuan Shan said suddenly.

"Everyone has worked hard today, there are not many drinks, don't mind everyone, let's have a toast!"

"Hou Ye benevolence and righteousness!" The crowd also began to cheer together.

Because there was wine to add to the fun, everyone enjoyed this meal very much, which was much better than eating during the Chinese New Year. At this time, a group of people in the village next door were looking at this side from a long distance.

Someone asked, "You've all been standing there for a long time, what are you looking at?"

"You just came back from the city today, and you don't know the situation yet. You see, the young master of Yuan's family is building a house over there, and he has hired people from the whole village to help. You don't know that they set up ten families in the morning. I killed two pigs and one sheep in a cauldron, and I could smell the smell of stewed meat in the house, and my saliva flowed out at that time." A farmer watching the excitement said.

"You see that they still have wine to drink. I haven't drunk wine in a year." Another farmer said.

"Hey, what are you doing?" a farmer shouted.

"I'll ask Yuan's family if they are still recruiting workers!" The good-for-nothing man is obviously a man of action.

"Hey...wait for me, let's go together!"

Chapter 15 Qu Yuanli Exchanges Money

ten days later.

The Yuan family has undergone earth-shaking changes. The five rooms on the west side of the row have been built, and the four rooms on the south side are under renovation.

Now that the inner courtyard is being built while the walls are being built, Yuanjia Zhuangzi can already see some prototypes.

Inside the old house of the Yuan family.

"Husband, we are out of money!" Dugu Ruolan said repeatedly counting the books.

"This husband will find a way." Yuan Shan said calmly.

Looking at the gold ring on Dugu Ruolan's hand, the jade hairpin on her head, the jade bracelet on her wrist, and the pearl necklace on her neck, and then matching what she said just now, there was a sharp contrast in an instant.

After buying [-] large carts of stone bricks, he spent all the originally reserved wages. These days Yuanshan is still conducting clinical trials on the newly made Wuji Baifeng Pills.

According to the feedback from Qin Qiong's people three days ago, it was known that the medicine has excellent blood-replenishing ability, so these few days of good time were spent on the medicine, and they didn't pay much attention to the construction.

Moreover, among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, there were quite a few generals with mild blood deficiency. It was normal to bleed in battle, but Yuan Shan had no plans to develop Wuji Baifeng Pills into the list of supplies and medicines.

We can only stabilize Qin Qiong's illness first. Now it seems that the effect is good, but that is not enough. Medication needs a process, so we can only wait patiently.

"Master, County Magistrate Guo is here." He Ye ran in and said.

"Please go to the guest room." Yuan Shan said.

The guest room of the Yuan family's old house was the four-winged room where Yanbei and Tianda used to live, and now it is the reception room.

"Magistrate Guo, please take your seat." Yuan Shan said as he entered the room.

"I am here today for the matter of Quyuanli. After verification by the Ministry of Industry, Quyuanli is better than the existing plows and is beneficial to farming. Your Majesty has decreed that it should be promoted throughout the country. Book making and 100 taels of gold." Guo County Magistrate said.

Only 100 taels of gold and a certificate written on silk yellow paper?It's really stingy, Yuan Shan thinks it's quite small, once popularized, it will cover the entire Tang Dynasty, there is no patent fee, it's really a loss, but it's not a big deal, and it makes him understand that inventions are used to make money It is the right way. It is certain that a Quyuanli will affect the entire Datang agriculture. Excellent production tools are not slow to spread among the people. Fast.

In fact, he didn't know, it was still a lot of money. One was because he had a title and was not a craftsman, and the other main reason was that Qin Qiong helped to say a few good words, so he got so much money, otherwise the Ministry of Industry would just give it to him. Point it and it's over, pay back 100 taels of gold, and give it a few times, it will be considered a high incense.

When he returned to the main room, Yuan Shan held ten gold ingots and said with a smile, "Ruo Lan, keep these gold away, your husband just earned it."

"Husband, where did this gold come from?" Dugu Ruolan asked cautiously.
