Leisurely Daily [System]

After sleeping all night, Jiang Fan was really alive and kicking like he said last night.

Originally, he had just had some thoughts about Guan Xiujin, and he thought he could get in touch with him in that direction, but now that he can't, he just needs to be sad.

After staying in Wangzhou City until the planting was over, Jiang Fan saw that the time was almost up, and he was ready to go back.

Guan Xiujin naturally joined him.

Jiang Fan was very puzzled, and stared at Guan Xiujin: "Do you really have nothing to do?" An ordinary idle prince is fine, but Guan Xiujin is a prison prince, shouldn't there be many things waiting for him to deal with every day?

Guan Xiujin: "No."

Jiang Fan threw an unbelieving look, and stepped past him to get on the carriage.

Guan Xiujin watched Jiang Fan get into the carriage until the curtain was lowered to cover his back, then he turned and got into his own carriage.

Guan Xiujin didn't know it at all. When he blurted out the word "no", Guan Yi was sitting in front of the desk in the imperial palace far away in Beijing, and while he was struggling to approve the memorial, he asked the attendant next to him. Waiter, "Is the red jade fruit ice ready?"

The attendant said: "Your Majesty, your body is weak and it is snowing outside. If you eat too much ice, you may have stomach trouble."

"I'm in good health now." Guan resolutely threw away the finished memorial in his hand, took a new one from the tall stack beside him and opened it, "bring it to me quickly." It was specifically confessed that he was asked to eat two red jade fruits every day to nourish his body.

Thinking of this, Guan Yi resolutely shook the imperial pen in his hand—the emperor's uncle is really treacherous. When he was in poor health, he would not spend more than two hours per day reading the memorial. After finding these good things, his health has improved, but he also has more busy time, and he always leaves him to go out to play by himself.He's only 12 years old, so pitiful...

Guan Yiran sniffled and wiped away bitter tears.Looking up and seeing the red jade fruit brought by the waiter, he immediately threw away the booklet, dug out a spoonful of the fruit pulp, and as soon as the flesh was icy and icy, he shivered resolutely, his face But he showed an expression of enjoyment.

Ice, he never dared to touch it before.It's delicious!

The trip was in a hurry, and there was no need to rush the return journey, so Jiang Fan and his party slowed down a lot.Jiang Fan regards the return journey as a tourist, passing through a town, he must taste the delicacies inside, or buy some vegetables and flower seeds that are common in the local area but rarely seen elsewhere.

This walk lasted for more than half a month, and when I returned to Lishan Village, it was already April.

After Jiang Fan returned home, he took a short rest and went to the silkworm room.

Gu Changqing took good care of everything in the village, the noodle workshop was operating normally, and the silkworm breeding room was also on track.

According to what Jiang Fan said, Gu Changqing purchased silkworm eggs and hatched them. Each batch of silkworms was harvested every 30 to [-] days.Before Jiang Fan was not around, a batch had already been harvested.When Jiang Fan came back, the second batch had already started to weave.The mulberry trees on the mountain were planted on Xiaobei Mountain. Bi Wusi pulled out a batch, and then planted a batch of mulberry trees. After a month of recuperation, the mulberry trees were ready to pick leaves.Silkworms only eat more mulberry leaves during the days when silkworms are about to sew, so the mountain is busy these days. Most of the villagers recruited from outside the village are busy on the mountain, picking fresh mulberry leaves and transporting them down the mountain. .

After all, the quantity of shipments must be guaranteed, so Jiang Fan built the sericulture room quite large, with rows of wooden shelves inside, and several layers of bamboo strips on the shelves, inside which were densely packed ripe silkworms lying on mulberry leaves. Jiang Fan didn't dare to look at it after only one glance.

After watching the sericulture room, Jiang Fan went to the silk reeling room.

The silk reelers are all busy, putting the dried cocoons into boiling water for manual spinning.There is only one thread, the longest can reach 3000 meters, and the shortest can reach 800 meters.Because there are too many fresh cocoons, it can’t be finished in a while. In order to prevent the silkworm chrysalis from hatching, after the fresh cocoons are harvested, they will be baked first to remove the water and kill the silkworm chrysalis inside, which is convenient for preservation and subsequent spinning. .

The extracted silk will be sent to the dyeing workshop under Dongshan Mountain for dyeing. After dyeing, it will be handed over to weavers to be woven into cloth, which is the so-called silk.

The sparrow flowers on Dongshan Mountain have been blooming for a month, and there is a two-month picking period. There are too many flowers. If you don't try to save them, you will be limited to seasonality.Therefore, in the dyeing workshop, the silk is basically dyed with fresh petals, while the pigment is extracted and preserved for dyeing.

Silver Moon Grass, Jade Cocoon Grass, and Sancai Flower also need to recuperate, so they will also extract some and save them every month.

After reading this, Jiang Fan went to Xiaobei Mountain, fed the mulberry trees, and then went to Xishan.

The fire honey fruit was planted in November last year. When Jiang Fan left, it was already producing flower buds. When he came back, the flowers had already withered. At this time, fist-sized vines were already hanging on the winding vines lying on the ground. The green fruit of the fruit is ripe when the skin turns rose red.

As for the red frost fruit, it was planted in February. The plant is short and almost grown. Wait for about a month, and the knuckle-long flower vines will protrude from the leaves to bloom and bear fruit.

Jiang Fan sowed the seeds of the constant temperature tree in the ground to grow seedlings in September last year. Although the saplings were still young and the ability to balance the temperature was not very good, the temperature in that area was different from other places. Afterwards, Jiang Fan will The saplings were transplanted to the mountain, and the land was very warm all winter.Because Jiang Fan didn't forbid the villagers to go up the mountain for the time being, so last winter, the children, old men and women who were fine in the village liked to take some handicrafts and sit on the side of the mountain to warm up the heat.

After more than half a year of growth, all the constant temperature trees have grown up, leaving a few for seedlings, some of which are for personal use, and Jiang Fan will sell all the others.

Last year Jiang Fan only sold 500 taels per tree, but only for three months.This time he wants to raise the price, 3000 taels per tree, but he will give each constant temperature tree a nutrient storage device to store nutrients for two years, ensuring that the tree they bought can live for two years.Within two years, they can save the trouble of buying ice in summer and charcoal in winter, and save a lot of money.

Not many people knew about the constant temperature tree last time, and some of them knew about it but didn’t buy it in time. People who bought it knew that Jiang Fan had planted it, and it could be harvested at this season, so people came early Ask, or directly pay a deposit to make a reservation, some of them did not believe in the "March" period that Jiang Fan said last year, and some people wanted to plant the seeds themselves, but the March period did not pass long Well, the tree really died, and the money for charcoal burning in one winter was more than 500 taels of silver. Those people really regretted it.

The person who came to ask this time saw that a tree had risen by more than 2000 taels, and secretly scolded Jiang Fan for being unkind, but he could only smile on his face and honestly paid for the money.No way, using ice in summer can lower the temperature, but the water vapor is heavy, unless the whole family wants to suffer from rheumatism.Let’s talk about burning charcoal in winter, no matter how good the charcoal is in the house, the air will not circulate, it will always have a bit of a smell, and whether it is cooling or heating, the temperature adjustment is limited. Compared with the constant temperature tree, the effect is greatly reduced of.

After Jiang Fan came back, Gu Changqing was going to return to Shangjing to plant flowers.This time Jiang Fan brought back five horses and asked Gu Changqing to pull them for use. They loaded several carts of flower seeds and a cart of constant temperature trees and took them to Beijing for sale.With the money from the sale of the tree, Jiang Fan asked Gu Changqing to buy a bigger store in a good location in Shangjing, selling the Jiaoyan series while opening a cloth shop.

All the woven cloth is still in the warehouse.Jiang Fan has seen it. It is indeed woven without any other materials. It is very smooth and soft to the touch. The dyed material has a strong coloring ability due to the use of nutrients.

There are also those dyed with several kinds of dyes, the color is either plain, or elegant, gorgeous but not vulgar, not to mention women, even Jiang Fan likes it when he looks at it.In April, the weather was gradually getting hotter, and it was time to prepare for making summer clothes. Jiang Fan chose a few horses of the color he liked, and took another cloth made of silver-white solid color dyed by silver moon grass, and a A light onion-colored pure cloth dyed from Jade Cocoon Grass was taken back to Guan Xiujin.

Guan Xiujin said that he has nothing to do, but in fact, as long as he leaves Jiang Fan's house and returns to the bamboo house, he will be very busy. Although Guan Yiran has been enthroned for three years, he is still young after all, and some things need to be discussed with him before he can do them. After making a decision, Jiang Fanguang knew that some vegetables from his vegetable garden would be sent to Shangjing every few days. In fact, there were fast horses going back and forth between Shangjing and Lishan Village every day, sending the booklets to Guan Xiujin for approval before sending them back.

It's just that Guan Xiujin's dream is the same as when he was a teenager, it has never changed. What he wants to be is an idle prince, hunting and walking horses leisurely, so the workload is much less than before, and the power in his hands is gradually transferred to Guan resolute.

Guan Xiujin was wearing a white loose Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged by the low window, looking at the folder in his hand, when he suddenly heard a shout from afar: "Ah Jin!"

Guan Xiujin raised his head and listened carefully. It was indeed not his illusion. Someone was calling him, and the voice was quite familiar.

He slowly raised the corners of his lips.

Ah Ban walked in, "My lord, Mr. Jiang Lang is on the other side."

Guan Xiujin got up: "Go and pick him up." When he turned around, he told Ah Ban, "Prepare tea."

"Yes."

Jiang Fan and Zhang Shumo each held a piece of cloth in their hands, stood on the bank and shouted twice, and after a while, they saw several people slowly walking out of the bamboo forest, and the leader was Guan Xiujin.

Feng Yi punted over and helped the two of them onto the boat.

The oars moved the water, Jiang Fan stood on the boat and looked over, only to see that although Guan Xiujin's clothes were still white today, they were very loose, standing with his hands behind his back against the background of the green bamboo forest, his eyes were bright and handsome, as if he hadn't entered the world in the legend The Qingjun elegant scholar.

The author has something to say:

The Taoist robes here are not the kind of ghost-catching clothes in our impression, hahahahahaha, but loose clothes, home clothes.
