talk about wine

After the expansion of the mulberry garden, Meng Chuxi sold the fields in Zhoujia Village, and Zhou Qingwu discussed with her that he still wanted to plant something in Qingyang Town, otherwise he would have to buy everything by himself. Tian used it to grow some fruits and vegetables, especially her peppers.

Zhou Qingwu couldn't help laughing after hearing what she said, and gestured: Plant an acre of peppers, and let you eat as much as you want.

Meng Chuxi clicked his tongue: "Qingwu, you don't know how many ways to eat chili. Last year, the amount was too small. This year, I will let you try other chili. The charm of chili does not lie in itself, but that it can be fulfilled." Other delicacy. It tastes great when cooking, and it can be used to marinate many dishes, such as fermented bean curd, tempeh, pickled radish shreds, bean dregs, and many more.”

She reported one by one, and Zhou Qingwu was taken aback for a while, thinking that those dishes, with the spicy taste, should be really delicious.

Swallowing, Zhou Qingwu thought it would be okay to plant an acre.

Doing business is no easier than farming and doing physical work in the past. Now that he has made a plan, Meng Chuxi decided to start early.The spinning wheel needs to be improved first, but after all, she is not specialized in this kind of thing. Although she knows the evolution of the spinning wheel in later generations, she can't accurately draw the design drawing if she wants to make it, so this matter She needs an expert to assist her.

But here comes the problem again. Improved weaving vehicles can improve the efficiency of weaving. This is a major advantage in the industry. As a businessman, Meng Chuxi still has some selfish intentions, at least he can’t let it out so early. Shopping malls are like battlefields. It is very important, so this person needs to be quite reliable.

Meng Chuxi and Zhou Qingwu mentioned their thoughts, and Zhou Qingwu thought for a while: You can try to ask the Yan family for help.

But there is no doubt that the Yan family may get a share, but after Meng Chuxi thought about it, this is also the best way, and cooperation is often a win-win situation.

Zhou Qingwu thought about Meng Chuxi's entanglement, and gestured again: "Go to the market tomorrow to buy a textile cart, take it apart and have a look, before you think about it later."

A year ago, Meng Chuxi simply modified the textile car. It is always difficult to imagine it out of thin air. It may be easier to look at the original structure.

Meng Chuxi's eyes lit up, and she hugged Zhou Qingwu and kissed him: "Why are you so good?"

Zhou Qingwu touched the cheek kissed by her, and gave her a blushing look.

Just do it, Zhou Qingwu quickly asked someone to bring the weaving cart over, and Meng Chuxi was immersed in the side room tinkering with the weaving cart all day long, forgetting to come out to eat.

Zhou Qingwu went out for a trip in the morning. When he got home, the house was very quiet. He could only hear the movement of the side room when he walked inside. He shook his head and laughed. This is crazy.

Going in quietly to take a look, Meng Chuxi squatted on the ground and frowned. The spinning wheel in front of her had been dismantled in half. At this moment, she was looking at the structure inside and sketching on the paper with a brush.

Zhou Qingwu looked at it from a distance, but the drawing on it was a dismantled pattern of each part of the spinning wheel. The lines were very detailed. Although it was a few simple strokes, it could be seen that Meng Chuxi drew it very well, not just scribbling casually.

Seeing that she was engrossed, she didn't realize that she was back, and Zhou Qingwu didn't bother her, but Meng Chuxi unconsciously licked her lips, frowned and walked out gently.

After an incense stick, Zhou Qingwu came back with a tray in his hand and gently placed it on the table.She made a pot of tea and poured it cold for Meng Chuxi. The sound of the teapot being placed on the table made Meng Chuxi realize that someone had come in.

Turning her head to take a look, Meng Chuxi shook her sore hands and smiled, "You came back so soon?"

Zhou Qingwu glanced at her reproachfully, and gestured: It's time for lunch, why not hurry up, take a break and drink some tea.

Meng Chuxi looked outside in surprise when he heard the words, it was indeed almost noon.She looked at Zhou Qingwu apologetically: "I forgot the time, it's time to make lunch." After that, she was about to get up, but she didn't stand up all at once, and she crouched back with a bit of a speechless expression.

Seeing this, Zhou Qingwu quickly put down his teacup and ran over, looking at her worriedly, his eyes full of questions.

Meng Chuxi gritted her teeth: "My legs are numb."

The leg numbness is only a small problem, but the relief process is so sour and uncomfortable.Zhou Qingwu complained a little, why did he squat for so long.

Thinking of her bending down and hugging Meng Chuxi, Meng Chuxi was already light before, but she lost a lot of weight after having a mulberry garden, and now she has not recovered. Zhou Qingwu had done a lot of work before, and his strength was stronger than that of a boudoir girl. It doesn't take much effort to get up.

The numbness at that moment was so startled that there was no time to respond, Meng Chuxi let out a soft cry and quickly hugged Zhou Qingwu.Zhou Qingwu put her on the chair, looked up at her, and kneaded her carefully.

Zhou Qingwu's hands were skillful, and he quickly released them after pinching them like this.

Meng Chuxi slowed down and stopped her with a smile: "It's okay, it's not numb, don't pinch." After she finished speaking, she came out with a low smile and pinched her nose: "Why are you so strong?"

Zhou Qingwu wrinkled his nose: You are too thin.

After all, she was a little sad again, and gestured: I don't like to gain weight, but I always lose weight. I was tired and thin before and didn't make up for it.

Seeing that she was really worried, Meng Chuxi smiled and pinched her cheek, um, there is still soft flesh.

"You still talk about me, I have put so much effort into cooking delicious food for you, and I eat a lot. Except for my soft and fleshy face, I don't have any flesh on my body."

Zhou Qingwu was a little innocent, and shook his head to retort: ​​You called me soft before.

This is true, the little girl has a thin body, and she can feel the clear ribs to the touch, but they are really soft, and she can't put it down every time she kisses them.

"You would be softer if you had more meat." The two of them were arguing meaninglessly while drinking tea. Meng Chuxi, who had been busy all morning, was a little tired at first, but looked at Zhou Qingwu and laughed with her for a while and regained his energy.

Zhou Qingwu was afraid that Meng Chuxi would be hungry, so he gestured: I will cook at noon, and you rest.

Meng Chuxi didn't refuse, but leaned over and asked her, "What do you want to make delicious for me?"

Zhou Qingwu's pear vortex came out and wrote: Bamboo tube rice.

Meng Chuxi groaned: "I haven't eaten rice in bamboo tubes for a long time, okay. You go to cook and I will prepare bamboo tubes for you."

Zhou Qingwu shook his head: I've been tired all morning, I'll come.

Meng Chuxi went back to put away the blueprints, and said as she put them away, "It's so expensive, you've been out all morning, I'll get it, it'll be soon."

Looking at the drawings, Zhou Qingwu couldn't help asking curiously: Can you draw?

Meng Chuxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I like to study for two years before, and this body will know it too." After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Qingwu, and said with a smile: "I will draw a picture for you when I have time, and hang it in the bedroom .”

Zhou Qingwu blushed, and slightly annoyed her, how could he be so narcissistic to hang his own portrait in the room.

Before going out, Zhou Qingwu decided to eat rice in bamboo tubes at noon, so the rice was soaked early in the morning.

The bamboo rice was also taught to her by Meng Chuxi before, and she couldn't forget it after eating it once. A few days ago, Meng Chuxi mentioned it when digging bamboo shoots, and Zhou Qingwu wanted to go back and cook it for her once.

There are just enough ingredients at home. She has already sawed the bamboo tube. In the side dish, she cut the pork belly left over from before, added ham, diced carrots and shiitake mushrooms, stirred well and added a spoonful of lard to dissolve, and adjusted well Once it tastes good, it can be baked.

Bamboo rice is also particular about bamboo, preferably one-year-old Hsinchu, as the fragrance of old bamboo will be much worse.Make a hole in the bamboo joint, boil it in boiling water, fill it with prepared rice, add water and plug it tightly.The biggest problem with bamboo rice is that the amount of water must be controlled properly, otherwise it will definitely end up with raw food.

Two people, Zhou Qingwu, made four bamboo tubes, and Meng Chuxi had already raised the charcoal fire.The heat of the bamboo tube rice is also important, and the bamboo should be turned frequently to avoid fire.Eating a steaming bamboo tube rice in winter is satisfying just thinking about it.

The blue bamboo tube gradually roasted to yellow, and the scent of bamboo lingered in the nose, and the cork gradually couldn't block the scent of rice. Meng Chuxi leaned over and smelled it: "It smells good, it must be very good eat."

You have to be patient with this bamboo tube rice until the outer layer of bamboo is charred and ready to eat.

The bamboo tube that had just been taken down was lying very hard and needed to be put for a while. When it was not so hot, Meng Chuxi wrapped it in a cloth and carefully split it with a kitchen knife.You can't be reckless when cutting bamboo. If you cut down with too much strength, it will be ruined if you don't keep the rice.

After opening an opening, Meng Chuxi flicked his wrist vigorously, and the bamboo split in half, and a long strip of rice appeared in front of his eyes, with a rich fragrance, and the color was very bright after adding soy sauce, which was very attractive.

Handing the rice in his hand to Zhou Qingwu, Meng Chuxi continued to split it. The fire was very good. The glutinous rice and rice were mixed together and sticky glutinous elite, wrapped in soy sauce and fat, made people appetite.

Zhou Qingwu couldn't wait to take a sip, shaking his head in satisfaction.Meng Chuxi saw it and tasted it. The rice was fresh, salty and soft, but not sticky and rotten. The moisture was just right. The rice grains fully absorbed the saltiness of the meat and the fragrance of the bamboo, and it was especially delicious.

It feels like the two of them are so busy with the mulberry garden that they are rarely as satisfied as they have been off work for the past two days.

Meng Chuxi sighed: "Since I got busy, I don't have time to cook well, and there are fewer people who take you out."

Zhou Qingwu shook his head: It doesn't matter, whether you are busy or free, you are happy.

In her eyes, having Meng Chuxi around is happiness.

Meng Chuxi's eyes were gentle: "It's just getting on the right track this year, and you and I will be wronged and troubled. When it gets better later, I can spend more time with you." They are not really ambitious. Money is something outside of the body. I don't feel sad about ordinary meals.

It's just that the ordinaryness of this era is too far away for the two women who are secretly in love, and the ordinaryness that ordinary people want to get rid of is a luxury for them.

After dinner, Meng Chuxi continued to tinker with the spinning wheel, while Zhou Qingwu was there to clean up the accounts of the mulberry garden.There has been a lot of expenses in the past few days, and she needs to clean up to ensure that the current cash can support their subsequent operations.

Meng Chuxi knocked and tapped there from time to time, and his voice was a bit noisy, but Zhou Qingwu didn't care, he kept his mind focused on memorizing, and moved the abacus from time to time.

The spinning wheel was almost disassembled, and Meng Chuxi knew its operating structure very well. Due to the current productivity, she had to choose a feasible improvement measure.

Today's spinning wheels are all carried out by a single person, and are hand-operated or pedal-operated. The structure is simple and consists of cranks, pedals, convex nails and other parts. The pedals drive the sheave and the spindle to rotate through the crank to complete twisting and drafting. Work.

In my memory, after the Dayan Dynasty, there appeared a large spinning wheel that borrowed external force. The main thing was to add a large water wheel to the spinning wheel, and then use the force of the impact of the water to drive it. The number of spindles on the spinning wheel could be as many as dozens. And winding can be carried out at the same time, and more than 100 catties of yarn can be spun in one day and night.At the beginning, Meng Chuxi thought it was interesting because he saw the Jenny textile machine in a book. He also learned about it and checked the information. Later, he learned about the large water wheel textile machine invented after the Dayan Dynasty.

Before, she was so busy studying the structure of the spinning wheel that she didn't think about it at all. Thinking about it this way is simply an earth-shaking change.Now thinking of the steam engine, Meng Chuxi hurriedly stopped and thought about it. I have never seen a steam engine before, and it would be impossible to figure it out. However, the spinning wheel is different. With a physical foundation, you can keep trying to improve it. It might not be possible.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Meng Chuxi felt that she was a little restrained by her original body. After being here for so long, she forgot that although she couldn't make such a heaven-defying change as the time traveler in the novel, this kind of improvement and attempt was practical.

She was sweating because of being too excited, turned over and stood up, walking back and forth with a happy face.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Qingwu, who heard the movement, was a little surprised, and quickly asked her: What's wrong?

Meng Chuxi walked over quickly with a flushed face, Zhou Qingwu was startled when she saw her flushed face and sweating on her forehead, and quickly stood up and gestured: What's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?Why are you sweating?

As soon as Meng Chuxi grabbed Zhou Qingwu's hand, she said excitedly, "It's okay, I just thought of a way to improve it. I'm so excited. Qingwu, if I can succeed, I can at least increase the spinning efficiency by dozens of times!"

The most important thing is that this will basically not affect the subsequent historical changes. The water-turning spinning wheel gradually disappeared after a hundred years of prosperity. Because cotton replaced silk and hemp later, this kind of spinning wheel is not suitable, and it doesn’t matter if you get it out in advance now. .

Seeing Meng Chuxi excited, Zhou Qingwu was also very happy. She encouraged Meng Chuxi: It will definitely be possible, Chuxi is the best.

Meng Chuxi couldn't help laughing, "You didn't even ask me what I wanted to do, so you knew I would be able to do it?"

Zhou Qingwu insisted on his own opinion: Don't ask, it's okay.

Meng Chuxi couldn't stop smiling, and took her hand and said, "I'll tell you what I think."
