The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

On the seventh day after the Liao mission left Bianjing, it snowed heavily in Bianjing.

The reception work has come to an end, and Yun Yanhui, with the hope of watermelon, is about to invest in the construction of another aspect. As early as when the weather is getting colder, Yun Yanhui has submitted a report on the construction of the greenhouse.

There is no way to farm outside in winter, Yun Yanhui thinks that cellars and vacant houses should be transformed into greenhouses to grow vegetables and fruits to alleviate the demand for vegetables in winter.

As early as the Qin Dynasty, China had greenhouse cultivation technology. At that time, the surrounding environment of hot springs was used. But in the later Han Dynasty, real greenhouses appeared, which were called greenhouses by burning fire to increase the temperature.

In the Song Dynasty, this technology also became a way for people to eat a variety of vegetables in winter.

Yun Yan replied that although he didn't know much about the construction method of the greenhouse, Daxiangguo Temple has it.

He used to sell flowers and animals on Guanpu Day, and a considerable part of those flowers actually came from the greenhouse.The flower garden of Daxiangguo Temple has mastered relatively advanced greenhouse cultivation techniques, and these early-opening flowers are called "tang flowers".

And growing vegetables is even more common. Greenhouses and horse manure can be used to release heat to promote plant growth.

Bao Zheng also thought about it before agreeing to allow Yunyan to introduce this technology and open up a greenhouse.

In order not to waste space, Yun Yanhui also remodeled the greenhouse, using many wooden boards for multi-layer cultivation, even hanging ropes from the ceiling, and hanging flower pots to grow flowers.

With such an arrangement, it looks more like a small garden than a greenhouse, full of green, which is particularly charming in winter.

— It just doesn't smell very good.

Because of the opening of the greenhouse, Yun Yanhui sometimes went back and forth between Daxiangguo Temple and Kaifeng Mansion to ask for advice.

It was snowing heavily, and Yunyan walked back on the road, wrapping her lambskin coat tightly around her body.

The surrounding buildings are covered with white snow, and the entire capital of Bianjing is covered in silver decorations. Many people go to the towers to drink and enjoy the snow during this season.

At this time, there were no particularly tall buildings, and at a glance, the whole Bianjing had a panoramic view, and the vast expanse of whiteness was very beautiful.

Yun Yanhui saw that some passers-by were wearing paper furs. Zheng Ping has always tried her best to provide the best life, so Yun Yanhui never wore such clothes in Yun Yanhui's memory.This is made of mulberry paper, which is the first choice for the poor to keep out the cold.

When I saw it for the first time, Yun Yanhui doubted whether it could keep out the cold, but in fact, with the current production methods, the clothes made of this kind of paper are really cost-effective, strong and cheap, and have good wind protection Anti-cold function.

Yun Yan buried her head and walked to the back door of Kaifeng Mansion, and as soon as she raised her head, she bumped into a somewhat cold embrace.

"Brother Yan." Zhao Yunchu's voice sounded a bit icy, but the tone was still soft.

"Hey, why are you here?" Yun Yan looked at him in confusion, "It's snowing."

Zhao Yunchu blushed a little, "Third brother took me to drink, I found a good dish, so I brought it for you to taste... I thought you were not here, but luckily you are back, here, I have to go back."

"Stupid you, it's okay if we go to eat together next time." Yun Yan thought it was funny when she returned, and took the food that Zhao Yunchu had packed, "I still have something to do, so I won't keep you, you drink less."

"Okay." Zhao Yunchu nodded.

Yun Yan looked back at him, then untied the scarf from her neck, tied it on tiptoe for Zhao Yunchu, covering his red nose, "Why don't you remember to tie the scarf every time, don't you..." The cold wind poured into his neck, he flinched, and jumped into the door, "Okay, I'm going in!"

Yun Yan kept clasping her hands together and tied the scarf halfway, but her hands did not touch Zhao Yunchu's body.

Although there was no physical contact at all, Zhao Yunchu felt very hot now. He felt that his face must be flushed, so he stood in place and touched his cheek, then went back to the drinking place.

On the second floor, Zhao Yundi was still there, and when he saw him, he rolled his eyes: "I thought you weren't coming."

Zhao Yunchu said: "Didn't I say, I will come back after delivering the food."

Zhao Yundi sneered and said: "Forget it, this may not be a habit you have developed recently? It was just to ask you to have a drink with Qingniang, and you ran faster than a rabbit. You didn't do anything, and you went to Kaifeng Mansion on purpose Take a look at your brother Yan, you are shocked. You are so sad for Qingniang."

The prostitute who accompanied the drink silently poured warm wine for Zhao Yunchu, smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Yunchu: "Third brother, don't be like this, Qing Niang is Brother Yan's niece, how can I eat it."

What did Zhao Yundi say about eating wine? It was eating wine from other people's mouths.

Zhao Yundi listened, supported his forehead and said: "You are enough, all the prostitutes in Bianjing are the juniors of Yun Yanhui, everyone just yelled after their companions, you just helped Brother Yan to recognize so many Relative, does Brother Yan know?"

At the beginning, this generation was obviously rented out by the speakers, and it was not particularly popular among prostitutes at first. It was only because the oiran, who loves his family, became popular because the Kaifeng lights were popular, and these people knew the inside story, so they shouted more affectionately than the other.

Zhao Yundi pointed at Zhao Yunchu: "I think you are just looking for excuses!"

Zhao Yunchu looked innocent: "No."

"Little brother, tell me the truth..." Zhao Yundi moved to the side of Zhao Yunchu, biting his ear, "Is there..."

Zhao Yunchu stared at him: Is there anything?

Zhao Yundi's voice penetrated into his ears like a gossamer, but a thunderstorm exploded.

"Did you... put Brother Yan to sleep..."

Zhao Yunchu jumped up from the chair all of a sudden, blushing, "Third brother, what are you talking about!"

Zhao Yundi also imitated his younger brother, put on an innocent expression, and learned very similarly: "Why, brother, did you think wrong?"

Haha, others, including his family's parents, saw Zhao Yunchu clinging to Yun Yanhui and thought it was brotherly love, so he felt very upset.

Why, as soon as he touched Xiao Langjun, he felt that he was molesting others, Zhao Yunchu would hang on Yun Yanhui, A Niang still thought it was a bunch of childish, bah, he felt wrong!

Don't look at the skin of the younger brother - in Yun Yanhui's words, it is silly and sweet - but, how should I put it, he is his own brother after all, hahaha.

Seeing Zhao Yunchu's distressed appearance, Zhao Yundi was very proud.

Although the prostitutes next to her were all watching, as if they hadn't seen anything, Zhao Yunchu was still very flustered, always feeling ashamed that something private was being made public.

Zhao Yunchu still stammered and said: "You, you are wrong."

The third brother has always been absurd, and there is no limit to his words, let alone him, the people around him, including Brother Yan, are used to it, and they ignore the words of the third brother.

However, for some reason, what the third brother said this time was absurd, but it immediately blew Zhao Yunchu up, making him caught off guard and flustered.

"Oh," Zhao Yundi glanced at him, and continued to take a sip of wine in a dull manner, "It seems that I didn't sleep well..."

Zhao Yunchu: "..."

……

After Yunyan went back, she also felt that Zhao Yunchu was acting weird today, no matter how stupid she is on weekdays, she would not be halfway through eating to deliver food, and it was still snowing, but this child's mind is as difficult to guess as a little girl, just look at He didn't look like he was unhappy about anything, so Yun Yanhui didn't care about it.After returning to his office, he heated up the dishes on the fire and ate them, and went to find Bao Zheng.

"Fu Zun," Yun Yan knocked on the door, and was invited by Bao Zheng to sit down, and he sat down in front of the charcoal basin unceremoniously, "I just came back from Daxiangguo Temple."

Bao Zheng didn't know that he went to Daxiangguo Temple, "You went to Daxiangguo Temple? Why, did something happen to the conservatory?"

"A little technical problem, but I actually negotiated another matter with them this time," Yun Yan replied, "The weather in Bianjing has been colder than usual, and the Daxiangguo Temple has an idea to do one." The ice sculpture-themed temple fair will last for three to five days, and we need to apply to the Kaifeng government for this matter."

"Ice sculpture?" Bao Zheng was taken aback for a moment. He could understand the literal meaning of ice sculpture, and he thought it was to use ice to carve, but he didn't have any concept of themed temple fair, and he couldn't imagine who ice sculpture could attract.

Yunyan smiled back, "Recently Bianjing is too calm, cold and quiet, Daxiangguo Temple's move is also to enliven the atmosphere, one is to hire a large number of craftsmen to solve their food and clothing problems, and the other is to succeed. If Popular in the market, many people have increased their benefits this winter. The large ice sculptures can be as big as houses and slides for people to play, the medium ones have various human figures, Buddha statues and animals, and the small ones are as exquisite as ornaments, and can also be made into ice lanterns. Although it is time-limited, the winter limited edition might make people cherish it even more.”

Bao Zheng understood the possible development from this, and nodded repeatedly, "This government understands, just like the annual Lantern Festival of Daxiangguo Temple, how many people have been fed, and the raw materials for this ice sculpture do not cost money."

Every year after the Lantern Festival, Bianjing has to burn countless lights, but the economic benefits created are real.As for ice sculptures, even the step of burning is avoided.

Bao Zheng pondered for a while, pointed Yun Yan back, very sure: "Your evil idea."

Yun Yan raised her hand back and saluted, "Ashamed, ashamed, I am ashamed."

Bao Zheng didn't know who he picked up. In Bao Zheng's memory, he had never heard of such an event in Song Dynasty. He thought that maybe this kid entertained the envoys some time ago, and he listened to it again. What a story to be inspired by.

In fact, if it weren't for the heavy snow that came very early and the extremely cold weather, Yun Yanhui would not have thought of an ice sculpture temple fair.

But now that you think about it, let's do it. In winter, we need more activities to warm our body than usual!

Bao Zheng accepted this matter, so he naturally asked Yun Yanhui to act as the representative assistant of Kaifeng Mansion and Daxiangguo Temple to undertake the ice sculpture temple fair.

Yunyan returned to pick up the errand, humming a song and walked out of Bao Zheng's study, "The first snow in the first year of Huangyou came earlier than before..."

Listening to this strange singing, Bao Zheng frowned behind him: No one is perfect, it seems that Brother Yan also has fatal flaws!
