The system wants my local master gl

Although Song Yuyan promised to use Li Sigu's painting to carve a Liu Qing as a gift to him, due to time allocation, it took her a month to complete it.

It was precisely because it took her so long to complete that Li Sigu attached great importance to her work, he said: "It turns out that carving is such a time-consuming and mind-consuming thing. Before that, I rashly asked the recording party to carve mine. Painting, I didn’t think carefully.”

Song Yuyan waved her hands indifferently, and reassured him that she was not the kind of person who cares about everything.

Li Sigu was a little ashamed. He made friends with Song Yuyan with a purpose, but Song Yuyan not only graciously ignored him, but also helped him. Thinking about it, I used to have many such friends, all of them were my own. Arrogance and backlash kept them away from him.

So he secretly decided that this time he must cherish this friendship, and he also hoped that this time he could take advantage of Song Yuyan's help and rebuild with those former friends.

Song Yuyan didn't care what he was going to do with this bamboo carving, the appearance of Li Sigu was nothing more than adding an occasional friend to her life, and her focus was still on the bamboo weaving, vegetable garden and wax garden.

In the beginning of spring, the insect eggs in the farmland hatched, and when the pests came, the vegetable growers were fine, after all, there was the pest control method provided by Song Yuyan before.But people who want to grow beans and melons will have a headache. The method Song Yuyan said is very effective in controlling cabbage caterpillars, but it has little effect on the crops they grow.

In addition to the various natural disasters last year, their harvest cost is not good. If the harvest is also poor due to pests this year, it will undoubtedly make matters worse.

So they came to visit again, wanting to ask Song Yuyan for help: "I know your rules, I can buy a lot of baskets from you, and I promise not to spread them."

Song Yuyan: "..."

Do these people regard her as an expert in controlling pests?She is obviously just a layman who has never even farmed.

However, thinking that the death of the original owner in the previous life is coming soon, she has more worries, so she did not directly refuse, but said: "The methods of controlling cabbage worms that I knew before were all from books. Those books didn’t mention many related methods, I can only try my best to read two more books to see if I can find more effective methods, but don’t hold out too much hope.”

Everyone was not disappointed, after all, if Song Yuyan could figure out a solution, everyone would be happy. If they couldn't, their situation wouldn't be too bad.

Song Yuyan sighed. She had read "The Book of Fansheng" and "Qi Min Yao Shu" before, and found some ways to control pests with local methods.It's just that she focused on how to help Tang Zhi get rid of the trouble in the vegetable garden, so she only chose two methods, and she couldn't remember the rest of the content clearly without practice.

After a year, she had already returned those two agricultural books to Du Yan, and now she had to go to the study to borrow books, which was another small expense.

After Tang Zhi learned about this, he took out two books and gave them to her.She took a closer look, and it turned out to be "Book of Fansheng" and "Qi Min Yao Shu".

"Brother borrowed these two books from the yamen for me to read. You know that I am busy on weekdays, and I may have to read a book for several months. But the books in this yamen cannot be kept in our house for too long, so I Copy it down, don't worry, although I feel sleepy reading it, the word is still copied correctly."

Song Yuyan said in surprise and surprise: "Little lady is doing a good job, the consciousness of retaining knowledge is better than mine!"

In Song Yuyan’s era, whatever books she wanted to read, she could just go to the library or bookstore, or buy them at any time on the Internet, such as Dang and Zhongtu, so she didn’t have the consciousness of copying books at all.

But people are different now, because the printing technology is still relatively backward, many books have to be copied by hand, and the cost of paper and manpower is involved, so the price of books is expensive.Scholars often borrow other people's books and copy them themselves.

Tang Zhi is not a scholar, but Song Yuyan naturally praised her for being able to have such a consciousness.

Miss Tang was a little proud in her heart, but she also learned to be modest on her face: "You can't boast, otherwise I should be proud."

Song Yuyan looked at her amusedly, and she was a little embarrassed to be stared at, so she quickly found an excuse and left.Song Yuyan just went back to her room to read a book. This time, she planned to study more comprehensively and thoroughly.

"Book of Fansheng" and "Qi Min Yao Shu" contain many ways to control pests with animal, plant and mineral medicines, but many methods use natural medicines to control pests, the treatment effect is not great, and they are all written Not very detailed.

More often, Song Yuyan has to recall whether the ingredients of these natural medicines meet the most basic conditions for controlling pests, and the specific method can only be determined after the experiment.

But generally speaking, most pests are more afraid of alkali. The method of using lime before has a significant effect, and later spraying with juice made from cucumber vines is also based on the phytopharmacological theory of cucumber vines.

In addition to reading these two agricultural books this time, Song Yuyan also asked Song Zhu to borrow a medical book to read—unlike literati who generally do not read agricultural books, many literati have little research in medicine, so I asked them to borrow it. Medical books are also easy to borrow.

Combining these two books, Song Yuyan finally discovered that Polygonum hydrophylla, Agrimony, Tung tree, and Honey Locust all have the effect of controlling aphids, rice budworms, rice borers, and wheat-related pests.The method of use is also simple, it can be made into powder or mashed into juice, and then sprayed with water.

This time, she told the melon and bean farmers about these methods, and did not ask them to buy baskets. Although some people who bought baskets from her to control vegetable insects would murmur behind her back, more people praised her for being kind.

Her popularity became better and better day by day, and when she walked in the alley, people greeted her with smiles, and those who were still wary of Song Yuyan thought that Song Yuyan had given them some kind of bewilderment.

Even with Sun'er in Qiru's private school, he was approached by many little luobotou, which made him full of doubts. He went back and asked Song Yuyan: "You used to charge money, but now you don't charge money. Those prescriptions that bought you People must blame you, right? How come there are more people who say good things about you?"

Song Yuyan smiled and said: "Your sister Tang taught me this. People didn't have a good impression of me before. Even if I worked hard to help them figure out a way to control pests, they might not be grateful to me; and these two years, I haven't done anything against my will, and everyone is willing to associate with me, so I generously tell the world about these methods, and they will think that I have worked hard for this matter, and it is very hard."

Of course, what Song Yuyan didn't say was that she did this intentionally to gain more good reputation for herself. In the future, even if she was implicated by those former friends of all kinds, she could use her good reputation to get out of the predicament.

Sun'er fell into deep thought. Sister Tang taught such thick and dark theories?But in his opinion, this eldest brother is more like that kind of black-bellied person.

Song Yuyan's gratuitous contribution naturally won not only the praise of her neighbors, but sometimes Song Yuyan needed some tools, and they didn't need Song Yuyan to ask, they just brought them to her and lent her for a period of time.

For example, when Song Yuyan made bamboo paper, he needed stone mills, pestles, etc. Those who had these farm tools at home enthusiastically and generously said: "Song Dalang, you just use it, and help us figure out the methods to prevent and control the rice bract insects." No money is required, so we will definitely not charge you money!"

Song Yuyan thanked them, and said: "Everyone's family is not rich, and you have to grind some tofu to sell during the slack season. How can I occupy your stone mill for nothing?"

So she wanted to rent their stone mills at the market price, and everyone sighed for her kindness, and finally only accepted half of the money.As for what Song Yuyan was going to use these stone mills for, they didn't ask at all.

After Song Yuyan had all the tools he needed, he began to make bamboo paper further.

This idea came about when she and Tang Zhi exchanged letters, but the process of making bamboo paper is very complicated and the time span is long, so she began to prepare for the first few processes when winter last year-selecting suitable bamboo materials, finishing , That is, soaking bamboo, and soaking bamboo takes hundreds of days, so until now, these bamboos can be fished out for cleaning, removing impurities, cutting into sections and mashing into filaments.

When Song Yuyan said that papermaking was troublesome before, Tang Zhi and others who did not understand these skills had no intuitive feelings, but after seeing her set of procedures, they realized why only large workshops can produce paper in large quantities, because these processes are really difficult. It requires a lot of manpower.

Of course, what they don't know is that Song Yuyan's process is more mature than the current paper production technology.Because the production of bamboo paper requires high technology, scholars of later generations generally believe that bamboo paper developed accordingly after the technology of leather paper matured.

Today is still the period when mulberry paper is in power, and almost all the classics and books are made of mulberry paper.The production of mulberry paper also has high requirements on technology and seasons. Often a piece of good paper requires skilled workers to retting the pulp in winter, so that their hands are so cold that they crack.

Song Yuyan only plans to make paper for her own use, so she doesn't plan to make any high-end paper, and she doesn't plan to manufacture bamboo paper in large quantities.

However, bamboo shoots and pancakes could not escape the fate of helping out. Later, the Tang Zhi sisters and Huangtusu also joined the ranks of helpers, and Song Yuyan's work was easier.

Neighbors could not help but become curious when they saw some movement from the Song family throughout the day, and when they learned that Song Yuyan was making paper, their eyes were as big as copper bells: "Song Dalang has so many crafts, it's really amazing. "

This Song Dalang, since he changed his ways and returned to righteousness, in the past two years, the things he has done have become more and more outstanding, and he has impressed people several times.They couldn't help muttering: "Hey, if Song Dalang was willing to show these skills before, why was he coaxed by Li Yao's scoundrels to do bad things!"

"Why don't you say Miss Tang is mighty!" Interjected again.

"What does it have to do with the girls of the Tang family?" someone asked.

The new wife of the Chen family, who was dragged home and scolded by her husband for speaking for Song Yuyan, seemed to have found confidence, proving that she was right about Song Yuyan.She said: "Don't you all understand? I heard that Miss Tang has contributed a lot to Song Dalang's reformation."

The rumor that "Song Dalang was scolded by Mrs. Tang for being sober" that had been circulating in the alley appeared again, but everyone didn't bother Tang Zhi this time, but when they saw her and Song Yuyan walking together occasionally, they also They didn't say anything gossip, because in their view, Tang Zhi was Song Yuyan's lucky star, and the two of them might have really followed the saying that was made in heaven, and they were quite suitable.

Some people also heard the rumors that Tang Zhi was a lucky star. Some older generations like such a young lady as their bride, wishing that the younger generation would marry her into the house, so that the family would be prosperous.

So when Tang Haogen finally came back from the yamen, many old women came to propose marriage for their youngest son/grandson.

Tang Haogen: "???"

He just didn't come back for a month because of many things in the yamen. Why did her younger sister suddenly become a favorite?

After he finished dealing with these old ladies and invited them home first, he thought about it for a while, and suddenly became dissatisfied: "Why isn't Song Yuyan among these suitors?!"

Tang Zhi came out when he heard the movement, and asked him: "What's 'Why is there no Song Yuyan'?"

Tang Hao didn't say anything at all.

He never told his sister, and he secretly hinted at Song Yuyan's marriage proposal in every possible way. If he, a strong sister like him, found out, would he think he was meddling?
