No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

"Yuelang, are you going to start building a house?"

When Li Erlang came to deliver meals in the evening, Ji Qing wanted more and more to ask him to find someone to order doors and windows. If he could complete all the work of building a house by himself at his speed, he might not be able to finish it in spring.

Since Li Erlang knew Ji Qingyue's name, he no longer called him "Immortal Immortal" but "Yue Lang".

At first, Ji Qingyue was so frightened that he had goosebumps all over the floor. He reminded Li Erlang not to forget his age, just like Li Silang, just call him "brother Ji", but Li Erlang didn't. "Brother Ji" is too cute.

So after a month of precise feeding and desensitization by Li Erlang, he had already acquiesced to Li Erlang calling him this.

"Yue Lang, please measure the dimensions of the doors and windows for me. I'll go find Wu Ah Weng later. I'll also cut the window paper for you in advance. It's best to paste it with two layers." In addition to delivering food today, Li Erlang also gave him what he got this month. The bellows were divided into pieces and handed over to Ji Qingyue. "Just now I took out the money to order the doors and windows, Yue Lang doesn't have to worry about me spending my own money."

Ji Qingyue couldn't help but mutter: "It's hard to make money, but there is no place to spend it. This money should be spent on you. When you need money, just ask me for it."

"I know Yue Lang."

The day after Ji Qingyue got his first share of the money, Li Silang had already gone to school, so he had to ask Li Erlang to help him and pay back 20 cents to Li Silang, and the rest would be regarded as interest. Li Erlang was stunned for a while when he first got the money. When he found out the reason, he couldn't stop laughing.

"Shiro must have never thought that his private money could increase. Yue Lang, I secretly put the money into his purse without telling him. Let's see when he finds out!"

So until now, Li Silang still didn't notice that his private money had increased. Instead, Li Erlang found a strange jade pendant in Li Silang's wallet when he was putting money out.

Milky white jade material.

When Li Erlang asked Ji Qingyue about the jade pendant, Ji Qingyue told him honestly. He asked Li Erlang to keep the jade pendant and was not allowed to return it to him for Li Silang.

The temperature has dropped so much that neither of them can stay long without a fire. After Ji Qingyue finished talking about custom-made doors and windows, he ran back to the bonfire to keep warm with his dinner in hand.

The style of the house he designed was not complicated. Because there was no steel structure, he could not build a brick structure house with more than one floor by himself. Therefore, the structure of his house was very simple.

Because the mud bricks were not strong enough, Ji Qingyue was not sure about using only mud bricks for support. He planned to erect logs at the four corners of the house as the main support.

First, prepare at least nine pieces of wood of different thicknesses to make corner posts and beams, and then lay bricks on the planned wall locations. During this period, you must leave gaps for doors and windows. Doors and windows cannot be sealed before they arrive, because the frames of doors and windows are not simply inlaid. Instead, grooves are left in the wall to install the door and window frames, so that the door and window frames sink into the wall, and the doors and windows will not be pushed out of the wall when the door or window is opened.

Ji Qingyue's carpentry work is limited to chopping and chiseling. It is still difficult for him to process wood into wooden boards, so he is smart enough to leave the door and window work to professionals - Wu Aweng.

As for the roof, it was too late to burn the tiles now and could only be postponed until next year. So after referring to the advice given by Li Erlang, Ji Qingyue used wild grass to make the roof. It was different from the simple roof of the thatched cottage. With Li Erlang's guidance, Ji Qingyue made the roof from wild grass. He can now weave wild grass skillfully.

Oh, Ji Qingyue asked Li Erlang, and Li Erlang told him that this kind of weed is called "Imperata" and it is an excellent material for making thatched houses.

Ji Qingyue plans to use thatch to cover the roof. To achieve a good thermal insulation effect, the thatch must be braided more densely and then covered with several more layers. In order to keep warm, he also designed a fire wall with a heated kang, and there was a kang bed in the brick house. Even if it was cold, he could spend the long winter in a warm house.

This is the most fundamental purpose of building a house to keep warm. With the kang bed in hand, Mao Dong lies down.

Ji Qingyue spread the cut thatch in the open space to dry. At night, while warming himself by the fire, he weaved the thatch, twisting and twisting the dry thatch into a long strip of grass, which could be as long as the roof.

There are a lot of things to do before building the skeleton of the house, which are very scattered. It is quite difficult for Ji Qingyue alone. After leveling the foundation, determine the positions of the four corner posts of the house, dig four knee-deep circular pits according to the positioning, and select four thigh-thick pine trees near the foundation. Since he got the iron axe, he can chop down a pine tree in just ten strokes. After felling it, he can determine the required height and prune and peel the branches.

The rough corner posts were ready, and the next step was the beams. After careful consideration, Ji Qingyue decided to choose thinner wood for two reasons. The thatched roof was not heavy in the first place and did not need thick beams to bear the load. The other reason was the thick wood. It was too heavy for him to carry alone, so he chose seven or eight trees as thick as a calf, cut them down, pruned and peeled them.

The corner posts were a big project and very difficult for him.

After building the stretcher, he slowly hoisted one end of the wood with rattan. It took Ji Qingyue a day and a half to finally set up the four corner posts.

On such a cold day, he was so hot that he took off his cloak.

The rough bricks, corner posts, beams, soil and cement have all been prepared, and the next step is to formally lay the bricks and build the wall.

Ji Qingyue didn't expect that he could do it so skillfully. Every time he started laying a layer of bricks, he would draw a horizontal line. In less than two days, he had almost built two gable walls and a back wall, leaving only the half-finished wall in front. .

Because the new house is located on the back of the grass slope, if the thatched cottage faces north and south, then the new house faces east and west, with the doors and windows opening towards the thatched cottage.

There is a door in the middle, with a sliding window on each side of the door, symmetrical and equal in size. Now, as long as Li Erlang brings the doors and windows back, they can be embedded and then continue to build the wall.

The roof should be made into a cantilevered gable, and the two side walls should be built high to build the beams. When the two gable walls are as high as the back wall, a triangle should be built on the gable wall, and finally seven beams should be built from high to low. , the middle beam is the thickest.

There is still a lot of open space, and the new house does not even occupy half of the open space. The internal area of ​​the entire brick house is about thirty to forty square meters, and the lowest point will not touch the top when standing up. Li Erlang can move in the doors and windows tonight. After installing the doors and windows and building the four walls, the next step is to build the kang, and the fire wall is connected to the fire kang.

At the beginning of building the house, he asked Li Erlang for advice, so he left the stove mouth and smoke exhaust vent early. Regarding the precautions for making a bed, Li Erlang asked several elders Li Aweng and Wu Aweng before finally summarizing it to Ji Qingyue, for fear that he would not succeed.

After many twists and turns, and more than ten days later, Ji Qingyue’s new house was finally built!

A house has one door, two windows, and a dense thatched roof. In order to prevent strong winds from blowing the roof away, Ji Qingyue honestly used rattan to tie the thatch to the roof stringers bit by bit, layer by layer. He never put so much effort into building the wall.

There are two layers of window paper on the window, and there is also a water barrier outside the window. When it rains, putting down the board can prevent the rain from getting the window paper wet. In this way, the thermal insulation effect is greatly improved, but the light transmittance is greatly weakened or even eliminated, so Ji Qingyue decided to put down the wooden board when sleeping at night.

There is a wall on the right side of the entrance, which divides the narrow room into two small spaces. The smaller space on the left is the kitchen. He built a single-burner stove in it. On the left side, against the two walls, there is a large stove. After laying out the mattress and lighting the fire pit, you can feel the heat coming from underneath. The back wall is a fire wall connected to the fire pit and the stove on the right. Even the floor, Ji Qingyue spent a lot of effort to build a layer of it. The finely crushed stones were compacted and then covered with a layer of plant ash cement.

Even after the house was built, there was still no rain or snow. Although it was a little regretful, Ji Qingyue dug a drainage ditch around the house as a precaution.

Even though Ji Qingyue's current lifestyle is closer to a state of wilderness survival, he is still used to being clean, tidy and well-planned. He changes it bit by bit and slowly creates a living environment that makes him feel comfortable.

After the brick house was built, the thatched cottage was completely reduced to a warehouse. Seeds, grains and various tools were stored in the thatched cottage, and they would officially move into the brick house after they were dried by the fire.

After all the work on the new house was completed, Ji Qing counted the days and found that it took him about twenty days to build this small brick house, which did not include the days of baking bricks. In the blink of an eye, it is already the end of mid-December. In other words, there are only eleven or two days left before the new year.

Now that a month has passed, the vegetables in the vegetable garden are obviously still some time away from the second harvest period, and it does not seem like they will enter the maturity stage in the fifth week.

The colder the weather, the longer the growing season.

The entire vegetable field is still full of green. If you ignore Ji Qingyue's thick clothes, it would be difficult to imagine that this is an open-air vegetable field in winter. The magical land provides him with an opportunity to resist the influence of the seasons.

Obviously, the growth rate of vegetables is slower, taking longer than the five weeks last time, and the quality of the fruits is obviously not as good as last time, with more or less frostbite on the leaves and fruits.

So Ji Qingyue decided to let go of this crop and wait until the temperature rises next year before planting vegetables.

What is gratifying is that after more than two months, the wheat finally entered the maturity stage and bore fruit. During this period, he watered the wheat twice according to Li Erlang's instructions. The green wheat ears were full of fruits, which may not be visible to the naked eye. The more Ji Qing started to touch them, the wheat ears that had been selected and soaked in water became stronger and fuller. There aren't that many empty pockets.

Strangely enough, the Li family seems to have already accepted that there is a mysterious person like him in Li Erlang's circle of friends. They are concerned about the small door and window tools that Li Erlang brings back from outside from time to time and disappear from the house overnight. I can now accept the extra fresh vegetables at home overnight.

Everyone silently chose not to talk about it.

He asked Li Erlang what was going on, and Li Erlang didn't explain much. He just said: "Yue Lang, actually, I didn't intend to hide it from my family all the time, so my family was not completely unaware of me delivering food to the study every night. They It’s just that I haven’t reacted yet. I know what you are wary of, Yue Lang. How about you give them some time? I won’t reveal your identity. Just look at them and wait until you believe them before revealing your identity.”

The more Ji Qing thought about it, it turned out that Li Erlang's practice of boiling frogs in warm water not only affected his family, but also him.

Li Erlang gradually made his family aware of his existence, and slowly and slowly allowed them to accept this approach without suddenly making it clear and letting time pass by.

As time went by, the Li family was just one step away from discovering Ji Qingyue. Several times, Li Aweng and Li Aniang had brought a lamp to the study to ask, but Li Erlang only said that he was reading in the study, and later it even developed into lighting a lamp in the study openly.

As long as Ji Qingyue doesn't take the initiative to show up, Li Erlang will find excuses to avoid it.

No matter how suspicious the Li family was, they could never guess that there was actually a person hidden in the painting in the study.

The Li family gradually got used to Li Erlang's somewhat weird behavior. Although lighting the lamp in the study was a waste of lamp oil, no one said anything.

After Li Aniang had a quarrel with Li Erlang, she went back to reflect deeply and found that she had indeed unconsciously favored Sanlang in many things. Unexpectedly, Li Erlang noticed all these thoughts and even saw them clearly. Although studying is not easy, farm work is also difficult. Li Erlang is busy with most of the farm work at home. He faces the loess and his back to the sky. It is not any easier than Li Sanlang. Especially after Li Adi and Li Dalang go to the military camp, Li Erlang has to be busy. Just more.

Li Aniang decided to learn from the painful experience and quietly relaxed various restrictions on Li Erlang in his actions.

In the study, Li Aniang asked again about the recent events. Li Erlang stared at her and didn't explain. They said haha ​​every time: "You will know then."

Aniang Li was so angry that her hand holding the lamp was shaking, and she muttered silently, "Don't be angry, don't be angry."

Before leaving, she looked around the study suspiciously. She couldn't see anyone and couldn't do anything to Li Erlang. She already felt ashamed in her heart, and her desire to make up for it became even more obvious. So she gave up trying to stop Li Erlang and complained before leaving. : "Don't go to Xunxian at night, it's cold, go back to bed early! I asked you to ask what to eat before, but it's been so long without a reply."

Ji Qingyue himself also gradually accepted the fact that the Li family was slowly becoming aware of his existence due to Li Erlang's seemingly inactive behavior. After all, deep down in his heart, he still did not want to live alone in a painting.

He doesn't need a partner, but he can't live on an isolated island without anyone.

After Aniang Li left, Ji Qingyue spoke: "You asked me what I wanted to eat before, and I remember I told you."

Li Erlang scratched his head, but he didn't expect that the surprise he planned to prepare was unexpectedly revealed by his mother-in-law. "Remember, Yue Lang wants to take prison pills."

At first, Li Erlang didn't know what the dumplings Ji Qingyue was talking about, so after he described it, Li Erlang realized that the dumplings in his mouth were the prison balls here.

After all, flour is very precious and there are only a handful of times a year when people make Lao Wan at home. Once they make Lao Wan, they can use several kilograms of flour, so most people don’t make Lao Wan until important New Year holidays.

Li Erlang didn't tell his mother-in-law early because he wanted to surprise Ji Qingyue when the New Year was approaching.

Early the next morning, Li Aniang and Xu Qing came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and saw many more fresh eggplants in the kitchen.

They were still shocked, panicked, and even scared before, but now they were numb. Li Aniang and her daughter-in-law looked at each other without saying a word, and the two of them arranged the ingredients in silence.

Just like the previous times, these eggplants were as fresh as if they had just been picked. They were almost ready for eating and were neatly arranged in straw baskets.

Last time, eggplant appeared first, followed by various green fresh vegetables.

Li Aniang was already amazed: "Who on earth can he grow so many fresh vegetables in the cold weather?"

She was no longer worried about what the mysterious man was trying to do with their family. Green vegetables had always been a rarity in winter, and they always made a lot of money when sold, but now they were given to their family...

What can you picture...?

Xu Qing knew that Ji Qingyue was in the study, but she did not dare to say anything, and she and Li Erlang chose to remain silent on this matter. She knew that Ji Qingyue was not a deserter, but probably a truly remarkable person.

Immortal!
