Sign in and get rich in farming

Yu Erlang was very active. He started to chisel with the leftover wood from making furniture at home. After making a set of soldier doll parts, he gave it to his son and asked him to make the same.

With the joint efforts of father and son, they quickly made all the parts for the twelve little wooden men. Yu Erlang then found a thin wooden board and asked his son to grind it into a round and flat surface, and then drill a circle of holes around it.

He looked at the drawings given by Yu Hongdou and drilled holes and threaded threads at the corresponding positions of the wooden man's parts one by one.

Soon, a toy plate with twelve soldiers around it appeared in front of Yu Hongdou. The white wooden soldiers looked like the little puppets used in later art paintings. They looked stupid, but actually quite cute.

Yu Erlang held the disc in one hand and pulled the ball of thread gathered under the disc with the other hand. The soldiers on the disc moved accordingly, stepped forward and raised their arms to smash down, with a somewhat abstract feeling of Shaolin martial arts performance.

Yu Hongdou couldn't help but praise Second Uncle: "Second Uncle, you are amazing, you are simply a genius!"

Yu Erlang was embarrassed by his niece's praise and waved his hands repeatedly: "Your picture is very clear. I can tell how to do it at a glance."

As if he was afraid that Yu Hongdou would praise him again, he quickly took another drawing, looked at it for a few seconds, and then found some wood to start working.

Huarong Dao is simpler to make. Except for the fact that carving the grooves on the bottom plate takes a little time, the parts used for movement in the middle are all square and rectangular pieces of wood.

Yu Hongdou held the soldier's plate in her hand and watched her second uncle perform the Huarong Road in just a few moves. She couldn't help but applaud.

The repeating crossbow, which had only been used in teaching mode, suddenly flashed through her mind. Could she ask her second uncle to make one for her and give it a try?

Leaving this aside, Yu Hongdou couldn't let go of the two toys and played with them carefully for a while. Apart from the fact that the white embryos did not look beautiful and lacked the desired artistic conception, the display effect and quality were completely fine.

"Hongdou, where did you get this drawing?" Hu Tao wanted to ask since Yu Hongdou took out the drawing, but because her cousin was talking to her father and the others, she didn't interrupt. Now she finally asked.

"I drew it. My brother bought me a wooden toy of a chicken in the city. I thought it would be nice if the chicken could move."

"Later, when I saw my brother boxing, I thought that if I had a moving little boxing man it would be very... cool, and would make all the kids envy me." Yu Hongdou originally wanted to say it must be very cool, but then she thought that her second cousin and the others might not understand, so she changed the word.

But the word "cool" didn't exist at the moment. However, after listening to Hongdou's description, an image of a person walking through a busy city with a kite flying in the air flashed through Hutao's mind, and she immediately understood the meaning of "cool".

"It's really cool." Hu Tao stared at the toy in her cousin's hand and nodded affirmatively.

Yu Hongdou had no idea that she had coined a new word. She just thought that her cousin agreed with her and couldn't help but smile with pride.

Yu Hongdou summoned Duan Yuan over, handed him the blueprints and the finished soldier plates and Huarong Road, and asked him to watch his second uncle and second cousin make another set with his own eyes, and then return to the village the next day to let Village Head Duan select the candidates.

Duan Yuan was chosen by Duan Zhuangtou. Apart from his idea of ​​promoting the most virtuous people regardless of their relationship with him, he is indeed a smart person.

Not only did he carefully write down every step of Yu Erlang, he also asked about some taboos and characteristics in the use of wood, and wrote them down carefully, thinking about whether he should go back to the village and find some broken wood for people to practice on.

Early the next morning, Yu Sanlang took Duan Yuan away from Taoyuan Village.

One of them went to the county town to tell tales about the discord between Liu Jiaoniang and Aunt Hua, while the other took the prepared horn soaps, toys, and chrysanthemum and wolfberry back to get help, ready for a big fight.

Yu Hongdou relaxed and began to prepare for class.

Early in the morning, she brought dried chrysanthemums and pine needle water that had been soaked overnight, and was escorted to the old house by Qian Sanmei and Wangwang.

The villagers she met along the way all looked at her strangely, and then asked her if her family had become rich, what merits her brother had made, how big the farm was, how many acres of land, how many people...

Some people also asked what breed the dog was, whether it was valuable, and if it gave birth to puppies, could they keep one for him...

Out of politeness, Yu Hongdou couldn't help but respond, so she shook her head as if she didn't know the answer. These people then went after Qian Sanmei and asked.

Qian Sanmei knew her own limitations and dared not reveal the master's family affairs casually. She also learned to shake her head like Yu Hongdou and learned to shrink and show fear without any instruction.

I was so taken aback by Yu Hongdou that I couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs up, only to find out that this girl has a histrionic personality.

It was only a five-minute walk, but the master and servant took more than ten minutes to get there.

"Grandpa! I'm here!" Standing at the gate of the yard, Yu Hongdou saw the old man busy in the yard and shouted happily.

"Oh~" Grandpa Yu was a little happy to see his little granddaughter. He didn't realize it before. He hadn't talked to his granddaughter for several days and he really missed her.

The old house is a bit deserted now. Although the eldest daughter has not moved out yet, the two children are very taciturn. Yu Dalang and Zhang are afraid of the old man and dare not say much.

Of course, the old man was too impatient to deal with them. The old lady could still issue an order and scold her daughter-in-law and son, but the silent old man felt a little lonely.

"Grandpa, look what I brought!" Yu Hongdou came here today not just to learn, but mainly to show off and see if she could get some more medicinal herbs from the old man.

The "Comprehensive Collection of Flower Tea Recipes" obtained from Zhuangzi's Chrysanthemum Hill lists many flower teas that can be paired with medicinal herbs.

The old man happily watched Yu Hongdou show off the chrysanthemums she had dried. He picked one up and looked at it carefully. After thinking for a while, he said uncertainly, "This should be the golden chrysanthemum."

After saying that, he nodded affirmatively, and then talked about the effects of golden chrysanthemum. Compared with medicinal use, it is more suitable for women's beauty and skin care, and can relieve sore throat, toothache, swollen gums and acne.

"But chrysanthemum is cold in nature, and women shouldn't drink too much. It's usually drunk in spring and summer, and combined with other herbs, such as the wolfberry and red dates you mentioned, it has different effects."

Grandpa Yu picked up a chrysanthemum and told his granddaughter about its functions and effects. He then looked at Qian Sanmei standing next to him and asked his granddaughter, "Which farm is this from?"

"Well, there are a lot of them. They looked good, so I wondered if I could soak them in water and drink them like honeysuckle. Then my parents and the others said they were pretty good." Yu Hongdou nodded in acknowledgment.

"Okay, grandpa will write you two recipes for scented tea later. They are both commonly used by wealthy families in the past. Ask your father to tell the people on the farm to sell the recipes together with the dried chrysanthemums. I'm sure someone will buy them." The old man clapped his thigh and cheered.

"Thank you, Grandpa! How come you are so awesome and know everything? You just didn't get born in a good time. With your brain, if you had gone to school, you might have become the top scholar!" Yu Hongdou praised the old man.

She didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. She was touched and admired it at the same time.

With the old man's experience, if he wasn't really smart, how could he have learned and remembered all this knowledge, and how could he have given birth to such smart people as her second uncle and her father!

Old Master Yu was so amused that he burst into laughter. He took his granddaughter to the pharmacy and said that he would prepare a cup of herbal tea for them to enjoy together.

Qian Sanmei followed the young lady and the old man, and for some reason she turned her head to look at the window on the other side of the main room.

I always feel like someone is peeping at me, but when I think about it, the old man and the young lady didn't hide when talking, so there's really no need to hide and watch. I'm afraid I'm just overthinking it!
