Husband and wife are hot on the kang

When I was worried that I had no family, someone gave me money!

It was given to him by the imperial court blatantly. No one dared to make a decision about this kind of money. This was the second time the imperial court gave him a reward. Yu Liangji believed that even the magistrate of the county would not dare to reach out for the money.

"Okay." Shi Hongda carried rice noodles, and the three brothers of the Zhang family carried cloth and other items.

Shi Hongda went directly to the warehouse, and the three brothers of the Zhang family followed him, but was stopped by the old lady Zhang: "Silly boy, this cloth can't be put in a place like a warehouse, put it in the house quickly!"

They are all old men, and I really don't know if this thing can be put in the warehouse. Who cares about it?It's all about old ladies.

"Last time, it seems that it was put in the house?" Yu Liangji thought for a while, last time it was Aunt Qiao and the others who helped arrange the cloth.

It seems to be put in the cabinet.

Later, he brought those fine cloths to Aunt Qiao and the others to make spring shirts for his family of three, and he asked Shi Hongda to go to a tailor shop in the county to make several underwear.

Because the fabric is soft, it is very comfortable to wear as an inner garment. I also made him two sets of long gowns, using that piece of brocade, and now there is another one, but only he can wear expensive things.

Although the time-traveling predecessors have worked very hard, even became the founding emperor, reformed and opened up, attacked the small neighboring countries, and even Dongying became their own territory, wiped out Koryo Bangzi, and achieved Liaodong Province, but the class division is still obvious.

Ordinary people can still only wear fine cotton, coarse cotton and earthen cloth. The rich can use silk at most, and the elderly must be over [-]. The rest can only wear silk. , this is not a hard and fast rule, but a convention.

But ordinary people can wear brocades, as long as they can afford them, they can afford them too!

So this brightly colored good clothes have become a status symbol, and good clothes are not easy to wear.

This is absolutely true.

The dyeing at this time is all plant dyeing, and the brightness is naturally not as good as chemical dyes, and the problem of leg color is also serious. Don't look at the book that says to make clothes all year round. I don’t wear any clothes anymore. In fact, it’s a last resort. As long as the material of this clothes is used for a year or so, the color will lose nearly [-]%.

If you don't do it, you will be the one who will be ashamed if you wear it out.

Old clothes can be seen at a glance. Brightness is not meant to be said, but to be maintained. Many scholars have to make several sets of clothes throughout the year. It is not because they are extravagant and wasteful, but because they also want to maintain their appearance as scholars.

Only those so-called official forgings and tribute satins can be preserved for a few more years. Those materials that do not change color for more than ten years are definitely rare things, and they can be presented to the emperor as tributes.

That is to say, the cloth dyeing technology at this time is immature, usually after several times of water, the colors such as silk and brocade are not so bright.

So the color of the fabric is generally very heavy and deep.

In summer, there are also light blue and light blue clothes to choose from, while in winter there are only dark colors.

What's more, ordinary people wear black clothes, because the color is wear-resistant and dirt-resistant.

"What does it look like, that's it!" Mrs. Qiao just came out of the kitchen, and said to Mrs. Zhang with a smile, "No matter how you raise people, there are things you don't know."

"Those of mine are not sensible!" Mrs. Zhang pointed to the three brothers of the Zhang family who were delivering cloth to the house.

After they settled down, Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Qiao went to cook, and Yu Liangji entertained people in the house. Mr. Zhang, who was a little bit clingy to the old man just now, didn't dare to put on airs anymore.

When the second child of the She family came, he didn't just send the official messenger to their home, but also told their home that he would send things back tomorrow, and then he left.

He had to go back and tell his father that Yu Juren had received an award from the court again.

The reason for the award is the three plow and the cart. The things they are using, everyone in the village knows that they are the inventions of Xiao Juren, so they must not be damaged.

"Where are these three plows and columbine carts?" Mr. Zhang was quite curious. He had never seen them before, and he had only heard a few words about them.

Shibalipu has very little contact with the outside world, and no one knows about some things.

For example, the three plows and columbine carts have been used all spring. Seeing that the land has been planted and the awards from the court have come down, the nearby villages and towns have only heard of it.

I even met it and knew it would be useful, but I couldn’t come to borrow it because I was not familiar with Shibalipu!

If I want to borrow it and use it, I can't, because I don't know who to borrow it from!

Just as Yu Liangji was about to speak, someone knocked on the door again. When he opened the door, he saw that it was the old village chief with a plow and a cart behind him.

"This is it?" Doesn't it mean that you will come back tomorrow?

"This kind of land is so convenient. I finished planting it today. I heard that your relatives are here. I'll come over to have a look and return the things by the way." The old village chief's voice became louder when he spoke happily.

"Hey, you always come in, please come in!" Yu Liangji opened the door and let people in. Shi Hongda and Zhang's three brothers helped unload things. The three-share plow is easy to handle, but it is a bit heavy. The building car is detachable, with a minimum of three legs, a maximum of seven legs, and the most suitable combination of five legs.

But Mr. Zhang looked at two things, just like a dog saw a bone. An old farmer, he loves farm tools more than anything else!

Going around these two new things, I can't wait to post them to find out.

"How are you, old man?" The old village chief asked Mr. Zhang proudly.

Back then when Zhang's family married their daughter, the old village head also congratulated him on the spot, so he and Mr. Zhang knew each other, but they didn't know each other very well.

"Okay, it's a good thing!" Mr. Zhang finally understood why the imperial court rewarded Xiao Juren so much. It looked like this thing was used for farming. The old crop style, if you don't use it for Liangji, he can see it. It can be concluded that farming this thing is indeed a good thing.

It is much easier to use than a plow with a share. Others use one ridge, but his three are three times that of others!

It’s just a three-share plow, and there is also a cart. This kind of thing looks like a good thing for sowing seeds. This time, there are as few as three ridges and as many as seven ridges. How much land can be planted in a day?

Oops!

After doing the calculations, Mr. Zhang's face flushed red!

"It's a good thing. This is what Yu Juren designed for Shibalipu, and even the imperial court rewarded him!" The old village head was very proud: "And it was twice!"

"Twice?" Mr. Zhang was puzzled.

"There was another time, at the beginning of Kaihua, it was a manual thresher, and it worked!" The old village head was very happy that someone could share his joy with him.

"Is the manual thresher made by others?" In the beginning of spring, some people bought and sold the manual thresher. They tried it, and it works very well, and it is not expensive. Although it is not used now, it will be available in winter. up.

Because of their large population, they bought six and only spent six taels of silver, which can be used for a lifetime.

At that time, he also said, look at the cleverness of others, anyone who can design this kind of thing is a capable person!

I just didn't expect that the manual thresher was invented by Yu Liangji.

"That's right, there was a reward from the imperial court at that time, otherwise, Yu Juren could build such a good house!" The old village chief pointed to the unfinished house: "There is also the wall of our village, which is also less than Juren's bonus. , Divide half of it to build the fence, and the villagers are grateful to him!"

The walls made of blue bricks and cement are stronger than earth walls, and they don’t need to be maintained every year, so the safety is guaranteed. Everyone is thankful to Yu Liangji.

When Mr. Zhang heard that the building of the house and the wall was a reward from the imperial court to Yu Liangji, he felt very uncomfortable at that time.

Yu Liangji warmly retained the old village head, and had lunch at home. The lunch was very rich, fried goose eggs with green onions, fried Chinese cabbage with fungus, sauerkraut vermicelli, stewed potatoes with mushrooms, roasted beans with sauce, fried eggplant with dried peppers, and finally fried I ordered an egg soup, gathered six dishes and one soup, and the reception standard was very high.

There is no wine, only tea, which is also good with food and drink.

Because he was a bit vegetarian, Yu Liangji told Mrs. Qiao to add more oil, and don't be stingy with the soybean oil. If it wasn't for him not being rude, he would have cooked by himself.

After dinner, the Zhang family left.

"Shouldn't you stay one more night?" The old village head didn't expect that he would leave soon.

"No, although the land has been planted at home, there are still some animals that need to be taken care of, so I won't waste time here. When you move, send a letter and we will come over to warm your stove!" Mr. Zhang laughed. Say goodbye to the old village chief and Yu Liangji.

"Definitely, definitely!" Yu Liangji also waved goodbye to them with a smile.

After everyone was sent away, Mrs. Qiao also returned home, and when there were only three members left in the family, Yu Liangji restrained his smile: "What do they mean by coming this time?"

If you want to talk about looking at the children, you won't say those inconspicuous words, as if they mean something, but because the relationship between him and the Zhang family is so bad after all, Mr. Zhang is still very secretive when speaking, so Liangji didn't realize it either.

"I always feel that they have no good intentions." Shi Hongda spoke dully on the side, but anyone who looks at people smaller than Juren is not a good person!

Today's words from the Zhang family made Shi Hongda a little anxious.

He didn't even plan to hold his hand, and someone outside was planning to introduce him to a wife candidate!

Compared with people like myself, Yu Juren probably likes women more, right?

Shi Hongda suddenly felt that he should work harder, otherwise Yu Juren would be easily snatched away by others.

"I think so too!" Yu Liangji didn't know what was going on in Shi Hongda's heart, but he also felt that the Zhang family's visit today was inexplicable.

If you want to talk about children, it's not like there is no chance to come here long before the spring planting, so why come here at this time?

I just planted the land, and just came back from work. I didn’t take a break, so I came to see my grandson. If the family is in trouble, and I can’t give the child anything good, I’m sorry to come to the door. Most people have their own savings, and the common people are rich.

When Shi Hongda heard it, he was happy: "Right? I don't think they came at the right time!"

Yu Liangji also nodded to admit that he was right. The two chatted for a while, coaxed Yu Baobao to take a nap, and they got busy in the afternoon.

What are you busy doing?

Busy with people and things!

Xiao Juren was rewarded by the imperial court again. Shibalipu knew about it, but because it was not picked up at the moment, it usually picked up ten or eight eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, etc., and some people really couldn’t come up with them. Whatever comes, it will be sent to a basket of wild vegetables picked, and it will be a celebration.

Because Yu's family keeps filial piety and doesn't eat meat, they can only give some wild vegetables, and the vegetables haven't grown yet.

After a busy day, I ate something casually at night and went to rest on the kang. It is said that spring is sleepy, autumn is exhausted, summer is napping, and spring is sleepy early, so I go to bed early.

In the middle of the night, Yu Liangji felt the heat around him, so he leaned over, and felt something fell on his face, it was wet, hot, and panting!

again!

What's the point of stealing kisses like this every day?

What's the point?

Everyone who kissed him came and went, and all kissed him out of anger!

As soon as he got angry, he opened his eyes, and happened to make eye contact with Shi Hongda who hadn't had time to lie back!
