Take the mall to Datang

When passing by Pingkangfang in Xishi, a group of women who are Yingying and Yanyan were called out. Yuan Shan found out after inquiring that this is the most famous red in Chang'an City...

"Da, lord, come, play, ah." I don't know if this slogan really came from here.

Before the curfew, Yuan Shan and his party finally left Chang'an City. Yuan Shan lamented that more than 100 taels of gold was not enough to spend.

Chapter 8

The carriage bumped all the way, and Yuan Shan was going crazy. When he opened the wooden box, there were all gold and silver jewelry he exchanged for gold, various styles of hairpins, jade bracelets, jade pendants, necklaces, earrings, headgear, anyway, as long as he looked at them The pretty ones were all exchanged for gold, and they scanned several gold shops in a row, and ordered a pair of gold rings according to the styles of the later generations, and for a long time they had a long time with the shopkeeper of the largest gold shop in the city.

"Ruolan, I see that these are all for you. From now on, you can wear different jewelry every day. You can change a set in the morning, a different set at noon, and a different set at night. You will definitely not bring the same jewelry. And, when you go back, you won’t be able to wear it again. You must be putting lead powder on your face, it is poisonous if you use too much, and your makeup is too ugly, my husband prefers your bare makeup look."

"Yes, everything is up to my husband." Dugu Ruolan replied shyly.

Yuan Shan suddenly felt that he had a sense of accomplishment. Looking at He Ye's envious eyes, Yuan Shan said: "He Ye will take good care of your young lady in the future. Here is this bracelet for you, this necklace, this..."

In the blink of an eye, the lotus leaf has the feeling of a chicken turning into a phoenix. This head, hands and hands are all wearing jewelry. These things are at least worth tens of dollars. It is the first time that a maid has received such a heavy reward, and her eyes are a little moist up.

"Master..., He Ye will definitely take care of the young master and miss with all his heart." At this moment, He Ye was bribed by Yuan Shan.

The day after leaving the city is actually not too late, and it took more than an hour to return to Yuan's house. At this time, many people in the village came out to watch the excitement. After a while in the afternoon, the courtyard of Yuan's house was piled up. , the good thing is to see that it is all food, and there are various objects, which are worth hundreds of guan in simple calculations.

The farmer likes to join in the fun even if he has nothing to do. It's not that Yuan Shan just got off the carriage, and the farmer Gao Wang came over again.

"This year, as long as you ask me to help with the arable land of Lord Hou's family, it is okay to give me less food." Gao Wang said with a smile.

"Brother Gao, don't worry, I will definitely invite you to help with my land this year, and the wages will not be less." Yuan Shan replied with a smile.

"Young Master is benevolent and righteous." Gao Wang may be the happiest person this evening. Seeing that the busy farming period is less than two months away, this group of people has made a calculation, and they will be able to subsidize some household expenses. Gao Wang is not helping alone, they His family also owns land, and the main labor force is his two sons, the oldest and the youngest are 15 years old, and his wife Cuihua.

In fact, the Yuan family doesn't have much land. It is said that [-] mu is not enough to support [-] mu of land, of which [-] mu of Yongye farmland is the main one. For farmers like them who only know how to farm, these are nothing. Their family planted very little land, and the year was not good, and the weather was not fulfilling people's wishes, and the food was not harvested, which was also difficult.

Now there is almost no place to stay in this small courtyard. When I returned to the room, I asked the lotus leaf to light up the newly bought porcelain lamp. Yuan Shan felt that it was not bright enough, so he also lit the candle that he bought with a lot of money. The light is good. some.

"Heye, ask Yanbei to buy more lanterns and porcelain lamps tomorrow, I want to light up the whole yard, and tomorrow I will ask Tian Da to go to Zhuangzi to say that Yuan's family is asking for helpers, and those who are willing to do it will come tomorrow Gather at the gate of Yuan’s house. Let’s talk about two meals first, and the wages will be calculated separately. There is no limit on the number of people at present, and there is a shortage of manpower. You should follow along tomorrow. Pay more attention to those who are particularly poor and tell them that there is a job, as long as they are not afraid of hardship or tiredness. , I can do anything that is not afraid of getting dirty, and the wages are consistent every month.”

"Yes, young master, He Ye has written it down." He Ye's attitude now is completely different from before. Yuan Shanxin said that this girl is really honest, and she will obey her if she is better, but the people who can do things under her now are too many. Less, but also to hire a cook, the housekeeper's wife Luo Shi should be able to, think again.

Yuan Shan felt that it was better for the cook to train herself. The new cooking method and cooking seemed to require more oil. I bought a lot today, so forget it and replace it with soybean oil.

Still unable to sleep at night, Yuan Shan is drawing the construction plan of the house. Based on the picture in his mind, it may take a long time to build, and the amount of work will be relatively large, so he plans to build a part first, the courtyard house, right? First build a row of south houses, as study rooms, guest rooms, etc., then five main rooms in the inner courtyard, three east and west wing rooms, plus six side rooms. First, a row of houses will be built in the right courtyard, and the housekeeper and others will be dragged. There are families with mouths, and men live there.

After that, there will be another yard built in the back yard, which will be the future. When the left yard is built, a guild hall or the like can be built, including baths, fitness, entertainment, health care centers, accommodation, catering, and theaters. Group buildings, but before that, we have to solve the problem of the homestead. Li Er's thighs are not easy to hug.

"Husband, it's late at night, it's time to rest, don't get exhausted." Dugu Ruolan walked over and said.

"Ruolan, it just so happens that you come to see how the house I designed is like. If you have any suggestions, or what kind of house you like, we will draw it and we will start building a new house tomorrow." Yuan Shan said seriously.

"Everything is up to the husband to decide. Just now I heard from He Ye that what the husband wants to do with the monthly money to hire a helper." Dugu Ruolan said.

"Oh, this thing is like this. Don't we have a hundred acres of land in our family? It's time for farming soon. I want to use organic fertilizers to increase the yield of the field, so I need someone to help collect some. Raw materials for making organic fertilizer." Yuan Shanxin said, don't ask any more, you definitely don't want to know what organic fertilizer is.

"Is it really possible to increase the yield? What is this organic fertilizer that my husband mentioned, and is it easy to make?" Dugu Ruolan still asked curiously.

"The one I'm talking about is a kind of base fertilizer. It's very simple to make. It's just digging a hole, pouring manure and urine into it, burying it with soil, turning it over after seven days, mixing the soil and manure at a ratio of two to one, and putting it in for more than five days. Used it." Yuan Shan explained in detail.

Where did Dugu Ruolan, a lady of the family, get these things, but she heard what Yuan Shan said in detail, and she had some understanding. Naturally, she supported this kind of base fertilizer to increase production. The grain produced in the field is a real income, although now She has some money in hand, but if she follows Yuan Shan's way of spending, she probably won't be able to last long. As the family's virtuous helper, she still needs to live on a budget.

Dugu Ruolan spread out the newly bought quilt, the bedroom is still the same bedroom, nothing changed, it looks dilapidated, but there is already a glimmer of light in her heart, sitting on the low bed, reflecting the moonlight, just when Yuan Shan looked up Seeing it, my heart said that there is a beauty under the moon, who somehow became very poetic, so I read it out.

"Yunxiang's clothes are beautiful and beautiful, and the spring breeze blows the threshold of Revlon. If we don't meet at the top of Qunyu Mountain, we will meet at the moonlight at Yaotai." Yuan Shan said in a loud voice that Li Bai is sorry, brother also had to express his feelings, Any similarity is purely a misunderstanding.

Chapter 9 Kuming Mutton

After Yuan Shan read a poem, Dugu Ruolan couldn't calm down anymore, her delicate appearance seemed to melt the ice and snow.

"Miss, this poem is specially written for the young lady. The young master is so talented, and the young lady is so happy." The voice of the lotus leaf was like an avalanche, and the atmosphere just created was destroyed by this.

Yuan Shan didn't care. Just now he really expressed his feelings. Although he expressed it with the help of ancient poems, so what, the heart and affection are enough.

"Miss, your face is so red, are you sick?" He Ye probably felt that she was not ridiculous enough, so she deliberately raised her voice when she spoke, and she didn't know if it was on purpose.

"Lotus leaf, it's getting late, go to bed early." Dugu Ruolan said shyly, but she was still muttering the poem Yuan Shan recited just now.

Yuan Shan was not idle, and wrote down Li Bai's "Qing Ping Diao", which was used to praise the beauty of Concubine Yang Gui, and added Yuan Shan's name shamelessly, thinking that the first poem in Tang Dynasty was worth it. To commemorate, if you don’t want to write a few more poems, let’s go here first, the business matters.

Thinking about the things I want to do in the past two days, it seems a bit too much, but I still have to come one by one, click on the mall, and start browsing. After a day of traveling, I still have some understanding of Datang's business To put it simply, industrial products are very expensive, which also shows the lack of iron smelting technology, and it cannot be solved immediately if you want to change it.

"Woodworking saw, this is very useful. One side is a saw blade and the other side is connected by an iron bar. It can be adjusted through the iron knobs on both sides. First come ten pieces of each of large, medium and small, and ten pieces of hand saws and chain saws. There are also ten large, medium and small planes, ten sets of various woodworking knives, hammers and other small tools, and one hundred shovel heads."

When exchanging these, he was not in the house but ran to the vegetable garden in the backyard of the house. He took a roll of toilet paper while the moon was shining and settled it by the way. Afterwards, he listed a lot at the back of the house. Yuan Shan fanned these things with the coarse cloth he bought before going back to the house to rest.

The next morning, Yuan Shan woke up lying on the tatami in the study, and was shaken by Dugu Ruolan because of the roll of toilet paper.

"Husband, this paper is so strange. It's softer and smoother than rice paper, but it's not very good for writing. The ink is all in one piece. Where did you buy it from? Does Tang Dynasty have such paper?" Dugu Ruolan asked.

"Um, this one, actually Du Niang left it to me, she said it was a product of papermaking failure, not for writing, but for use." Yuan Shan smiled awkwardly.

Before Dugu Ruolan asked again, this time Yuan Shan whispered in her ear...

"Husband, how can it be used for this." Dugu Ruolan said coquettishly with a blushing face.

"Scholars use paper that can write on. This is not for writing. Don't put too much pressure on your heart." Yuan Shan said.

It is still a little obstacle for Dugu Ruolan to accept this. After all, people in Tang Dynasty used toilet paper if they were more particular, while some people used leaves or stones. Toilet paper did not appear until the Song Dynasty.

After Yuan Shan's foolish persuasion, Dugu Ruolan still accepted it. After experiencing it again, this roll of toilet paper seemed to be like a treasure. It was hidden under the low bed. Three little secrets.

After washing up early in the morning, Yuan Shan went straight into the kitchen, which attracted lotus leaf's obstruction, and vowed to say that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Finally, he used a piece of freshly fried cumin lamb slices to solve the problem. This little girl.

"Come and taste the delicacies cooked by your husband." Yuan Shan said confidently as he placed the plate on the low bed.

"It smells like, is this mutton?" Dugu Ruolan became curious again.

Where would Yuan Shan give him a chance, so he just grabbed a piece of meat for her to taste. Dugu Ruolan felt that the actions of the two seemed a little ambiguous, but she quickly got used to it. After all, they were both married and married. In fact, but I have been prepared in my heart, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later.

"This is a stir-fried dish. It's my husband's new cooking method. This dish is called Kuming (cumin) mutton. How does it taste?" Yuan Shan asked expectantly.

"It's the first time Ruolan has eaten such a delicacy. This kuming is produced in southern Xinjiang, also known as fennel. It is a kind of medicinal material, and it can also be used as a condiment." Dugu Ruolan replied.

"As expected of a talented woman from Yuezhou, she knows a lot. If it's not enough, it's not cumin, but cumin or cumin. Come and try this pancake again. The mutton is rolled inside, which is a mutton burrito. It is served with the sleeve soup (egg Soup), more delicious!"

While talking, Yuan Shan personally made a roll for Dugu Ruolan.

"Well, this mutton burrito is really delicious, husband, you can eat it too."

"Ok!"

The harmony in the house!At this time, He Ye, Yan Bei, and Tian Da were also holding a mutton burrito, which Yuan Shan taught her to make just now.
