My little cutie [farming]

Naturally, Bai Su didn't know about the matter between the brothers of the Wang family in Heishui Town.After returning home with a heavy back basket, Bai Su's daily life became more busy.

Prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and even put the meat in the back basket at your feet casually if you don't have time to cook it for the time being.The past exam questions and the best answers that I bought back were placed in front of me, and Bai Su didn't dare to delay for a second to start reading.

There is still plenty of time for children to take the talent test, and they can take the test once a year.This point is simply thankful to God. If the exam is held every three years like Juren, then Bai Su will now have to think about how to strengthen his body and come back from corvee activities alive, or go directly to the mountains and become a black household from now on.

Judging from the test papers, the content of the Xiucai test is basically fixed.The first big question is to fill in the blanks, the second big question will give you a few sentences and the source after you write a sentence, and finally a discussion on the big question will be the end of the matter.

Although there are many similarities in the imperial examination between this fictional dynasty and the ancient society in history that Bai Su had studied, there are still some differences.

For example, in this era, children's examinations for scholarly examinations required three days. The main content of the examination was also divided into three types: law, arithmetic, and literary talent.

Among them, Chinese is the three types of questions that Bai Su read before, and the test time is two full days.On the last day, take the remaining two exams.

Bai Su took a look at the calculations, they were all very simple addition and subtraction, and even multiplication and division were only two after five years of test questions, so there was no need to worry.After all, the arithmetic test here does not require you to write a detailed calculation process.

What's more, even if you write it, it's easy to reverse it when you have the answer.It wasn't even literary talent that gave Bai Su a headache, but the law.

Silently turned his head and glanced at the 'brick' on the bookshelf that Bai Su had placed in the corner before. The book "Dayu Law Code" was as thick as two bricks. Bai Su withdrew his eyes and began to look at the sky.

There are still two months left... Otherwise, I should go to serve corvee...

Want to cry, want to cry loudly, want to cry loudly, why are you so wronged.

Not even daring to let go of the feeling of grievance, Bai Su got up and took the brick and put it at hand.Fortunately, there is still the memory of the original owner. I didn't pay much attention to it and put it in the corner before, but it can indeed save lives at this time.

The Bai family has been studying hard for generations. Although they can't use what they have learned, they still have a large amount of knowledge reserves.Bai Su usually flips through the codex, mobilizing the memory in his brain, and after flipping through it once, he can almost deepen his memory to the point where he can really remember it.

Those who don't know about it may still think that Bai Su has a photographic memory.But even this kind of 'deepen memory' still requires Bai Su to read page by page, and then recite sentence by sentence.

Before I knew it, my stomach started growling.Bai Su looked up at the sky in a daze, and the sky had already begun to darken.After roughly calculating the time, I actually sat at the table for three hours!

Looking at the thick code that has already been flipped through a third, Bai Su praised his hard work.I never thought that one day, I, Bai Su, would be able to hold my breath so calmly.

After tidying up the things on the table, Bai Su went to the kitchen with the back basket that was casually placed at his feet.The chill of spring is slowly disappearing, and in a few days, I am afraid that food will not be kept fresh by natural air conditioning.

After thinking about it, he directly marinated the few kilograms of meat.Refining the oil a bit before marinating yielded half a jar of lard.Under normal circumstances, stewed meat needs to be boiled first, but Bai Su changed the previous steps before refining the oil.

After the cut meat is slightly refined, it is stir-fried well, and there is also enough sugar.This time is better than the previous times of making meat, that is, Bai Su has finally prepared all the essential things in the stew, such as cinnamon, cloves, fennel, cardamom, and grass fruit.

After a little stir frying and coloring, throw in all the seasonings, add water directly and start simmering.Bai Su could indeed do better, but Bai Su didn't have much time to waste on cooking.

Pork belly was stewed in the pot, and a rack was added to the upper layer to start steaming rice.Two large potatoes were cut into pieces and set aside, and two large sweet potatoes were buried in a small fire.As an invisible foodie, how can you forget the more delicious and filling sweet potatoes when you give birth to potatoes?

Things in the kitchen came to an end, Bai Su stood at the door of the kitchen looking up at the starry sky.But at a little after eight o'clock in the evening, the starry sky has already come out.

A plate of small diamonds was scattered on the pitch-black curtain, and the night sky became a bit more charming with the twinkling spots.But no matter how beautiful it was, it changed the fact that it was too late to read books.

Compendium of Materia Medica records: The smell of honey is thick, so it nourishes the spleen.The smell of wax is thin, so it nourishes the stomach.The latter is sweet in taste and soft in nature, so it moisturizes the viscera.Thin ones are mild in taste but firm in nature, so they stop diarrhea and dysentery.

This text flashed through Bai Su's mind quickly, and he nodded with deep eyes.In the ancient history that has been studied, candles did appear a long time ago.But because of the complicated craftsmanship and confidentiality, candles were still precious items until the Han Dynasty, which belonged to the kind of precious items that could be used for burial.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, candles could only be regarded as common among the nobles.It was not until the Tang Dynasty that pewter appeared, and the imperial palace even set up a special agency to manage these precious things.It was also during the Tang Dynasty that candles were introduced to Japan.

It was the Ming and Qing Dynasties when it was really waiting for ordinary people to use it.With the improvement of craftsmanship, the output of candles has increased greatly, and this has become a living item for ordinary people to illuminate at night.

The fictional dynasty that Bai Su is currently in is probably after the Tang Dynasty and before the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It doesn't have the "cultural flavor" of the Song Dynasty at all, but the level of technology is still similar.

So candles are something that ordinary people really can't afford.

In the knowledge system that Bai Su has learned, making candles is not difficult.But that's because paraffin wax is easy to obtain in the future society. Whether it is extracted from petroleum or animal and vegetable oils, the technology is already very mature, so Bai Su only needed to heat the wax and pour it into the container for fun. You can get candle flowers of various shapes you want.

In terms of means of operation, there is no point of reference at all.Moreover, because the candles made in the future society use various chemical products, they do not have the curative effect recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica.

Among the two candles with curative effects recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica, the yellow wax uses beeswax made from honey.The white wax is also made from the white wax picked from the 'white wax tree'.

Therefore, it is true that Bai Su will not be able to make candles in the future society by himself, but Bai Su can easily complete the candle making methods that existed in ancient society.It is impossible for the Bai family to afford the kind of candles that are ten taels of silver and only have thick chopsticks as long as thumbs for lighting.

I used to use lamp oil at home, but the black smoke produced by that kind of thing is really fatal, and the brightness is not enough.Bai Su found a clay pot, cleaned it and dried it, and went out the door while the meat in the pot still needed to be stewed for a while.

It was already almost dark, and there was no trace of any activity in the village.Apart from the occasional dog barking and chicken barking, it seemed quiet.

Different from the leisurely past, Bai Suwan's steps are light and fast.After entering the mountains, it is even more like a fish in water surrounded by numerous plants.You don't even need to use much power yourself, with the help of the power of vegetation, it is like a gust of wind leaping through the forest.

People with wood abilities, and even advanced wood abilities, the forest belongs to their country.

Others may not know the ash tree, and not everyone knows how to extract these things.But for Bai Su, all this is not a problem.The whispering of the grass and trees in the wind told him where the ash tree was. Standing next to the tree, he only needed to put the clay pot in the right place, and the trembling ash tree would automatically shake the ash on his body into the pot.

In less than half an hour, the face-sized clay pot was full.Just like when I came here, I walked briskly through the forest and returned home.

Don't ask why you don't do this during the day, firstly, you don't want to cause panic, and secondly, Bai Su really wants to enjoy life.With the mood of outing, strolling in the forest and fields, is there anything more relaxing than this?

Back home, the aroma of stewed meat and rice in the pot has spread all over the yard.Bai Su couldn't help swallowing a big mouthful of saliva, and walked quickly to the kitchen.

Put the clay pot aside first, take your own big bowl, put a large flat bowl of white rice on it, and pour a large layer of soft stewed meat on top of it beautifully.

Bai Su sat directly in front of the stove, taking advantage of the sporadic firelight and residual heat from the bottom of the pot, and began to eat the first meal of the day.Only when you are really hungry can you taste the [-]% delicious food.

After eating a large bowl of stewed meat and rice, he took out the sweet potatoes that were specially placed under the ashes next to the fire.Even before peeling off the scorched skin, the strong sweet smell is already coming out.

While puffing and puffing, he tossed the hot sweet potato back and forth between his hands.In the memory that has begun to become distant, the mouth is full of bitterness after eating the "Nutrition Mud" for no less than five years and the military rations for the last three years. Now, just a hot roasted sweet potato is enough to make Bai Su feel happy up.

Smiling and squinting his eyes, he peeled off the top layer, the golden color matched with the more intense aroma, and took another bite.Soft, sweet, and delicious, it makes you want to cry.
