Taoyuan Farmhouse Daily

Because Chang Xile is not a professional in printing and dyeing, he only learned about it after reading too many messy books, and he has mastered the traditional cloth dyeing technology, which is slightly more advanced than here but not as good as modern technology.But the advantage is that because the traditional technology requires all natural materials, all of which can be found here, it is so much more convenient.

He had learned about the level of printing and dyeing in this world through Shenjiabuzhuang before. The level of printing and dyeing technology here is roughly similar to that of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Although the colors are quite rich, it is much worse than that of the Song Dynasty, especially the Ming and Qing Dynasties.He only needs to move the level of the Ming and Qing Dynasties here and dye the colors that are lacking here, which is enough for the cloth dyeing workshop in Taoyuan Village to survive in this world.

He doesn't intend to come up with too advanced things, nor does he want to get rid of others too much, as long as he is at an upper-middle level that is not easy to be eliminated, has his own world, but is not too conspicuous.So he doesn't plan to use complicated painting techniques, he doesn't know that very well, and he needs to train special skilled craftsmen to paint, which is too troublesome.

Painting and painting techniques are mostly for wealthy families. Although the profits are quite high, there are also many troubles.It would be better to put the target group on the small rich, who have some economic strength and are not so picky and difficult.

However, those are long-term plans. At present, we still need to master the technology of dyeing cloth. Actual actions and talking about it on paper are two different things.

The first thing Chang Xile wanted to experiment was to dye cloth with indigo grass, and this was the most suitable time to pick indigo grass.

The root of the bluegrass is the very common Chinese herbal medicine Banlangen. There are many wild bluegrasses on the mountains near Taoyuan Village. When Chang Xile saw them before, he was already thinking about them.People here also use bluegrass to dye cloth, but not everyone has mastered this technique.Even if it can be dyed, it is only a very crude way, and it is easy to fade when washed.

There are very few people who have mastered this skill. In order to ensure that they will not teach their apprentices to starve to death, most of them are passed down from their own families and will never be passed on.

What Chang Xile has to do is to enrich the colors, and use the techniques he has mastered to fix the colors.As long as these two goals are achieved, he firmly believes that within a certain period of time, the cloth dyeing workshop can be maintained.In the future, we must rely on the wisdom of the people, and we cannot rely on him for everything.Even if he is in a difficult situation for a while, as long as he doesn't hurt his muscles and bones, he doesn't intend to make a move.

Otherwise, once the village loses its innovative ability, it’s fine if he’s still alive and has goods in his stomach, but if he’s gone someday, or can’t come up with new things, and everyone is used to relying on them, they don’t know how to ponder and think. Then the village will eventually decline slowly.

This situation is because he doesn't want to see him. Although he can't control the affairs behind him, he also hopes that the village he built can survive for a long time.

Everyone knew that Chang Xile was looking for bluegrass, so they knew he wanted to dye cloth.

The children directly took over the matter, and the next day, under the leadership of Xing'er, the children of the Chang family and the trained scouts went to the mountains to pick bluegrass with small baskets on their backs.

After the training, everyone was relieved that the children went into the mountains a lot, not only because of the increase in force value, after all, no matter how powerful they are now at a young age, it must not be flattering to encounter fierce beasts. It was because of the regularity that they were able to hunt before. Yu is in control.So it's more because after training, everyone is more organized, and no one will fall out of the team for a while.As long as everyone can unite together, nothing will happen if we don't go deep.

Although the boy scouts are young, they are no worse than adults in doing this kind of work. Everyone's baskets were slowly stuffed that night, but the bluegrass picked in one day was piled up into a mountain.

Fortunately, Chang Xile will use chemical processing to prepare the pigments from the fresh leaves of plant dyes for dyeing. Otherwise, people like here will only use the fresh leaves of plant dyes to soak and ferment for direct coloring. If they are not processed in time, it will only cause waste.

"Uncle, we can find more tomorrow. We found a place this afternoon. It's a lot!" Yang Zi said excitedly.

Chang Xile smiled and patted his head, "You are really capable, but tomorrow will be enough, you don't need to memorize so much, what if the pressure makes you not grow taller?"

Hearing the words that they are not tall, the children's original fighting spirit disappeared a lot.

Yang Zi held back for a long time before opening his mouth, "Yeah, it's not heavy, it won't grow, it won't grow tall... right?"

Everyone believed in Chang Xile's words, but they also felt that Chang Xile had finally found work for them, and in the end they didn't let them do it, so they inevitably wanted to struggle.

As they grew older, the children of the Chang family respected Chang Xile more and more, and they all wanted to perform in front of him and do their part.But the Chang family's conditions are getting better and better, and they don't need to do anything, which makes them feel very uneasy.

Although this is not the case, the conditions of the Chang family are good now, and the family has hired one or two people to help. They usually ask people to do the work in the field. Except for the busy farming season, the Chang family seldom goes to work in the field on weekdays.Everyone is too busy with the things at hand now, so Chang Xixing and his wife are handed over to Chang Xixing and his wife for the family and field affairs. They must be too busy, so they can only hire people.

But the children also have to do what they can do on weekdays, instead of being raised as young masters as soon as the conditions are good.It's just that they have to train and study and do their homework every day. Naturally, they can't help the family with a lot of things like when Huaizi was his age.However, many half-year-old families in the village still played a big role, and they felt that they were very useless in comparison.

Especially living under the light of Chang Xile, I feel that I am too far away from this uncle, and there is nothing to do at home, so when I hear that they are asked to pick bluegrass, I am very happy, and I can’t wait to take the bluegrass in the mountains. Pick all the grass.If it wasn't for the previous training that made them used to obeying orders, they would have to come back when they came back, otherwise they might be able to pick them up until night.

Chang Xile patted him on the shoulder, "I know you want to help the family with things, but you are still young and you are not in a hurry for a while. There was no way to do it before, so I can only do adult work from a very young age. Now that we have the conditions, it is naturally different. The most important thing for you at this age is to study hard. Learn more knowledge, and then you can do more things for the family in turn. Now you will be slow when you are anxious. "

Chang Xile has said this truth many times, but the concept of hard work is deeply rooted, coupled with the influence of the environment, they still can't help but feel a little anxious.Even so, when Chang Xile said this, he agreed.

When Chang Xile was talking to the children, An'an and Ping'er listened quietly.Although they have been here for more than half a year, their temperaments are still very quiet, they rarely talk on weekdays, and they always want to do something for the family when they are young.

Chang Xile felt that it would not do to keep them locked at home, but they didn't know how to play, so it was useless to encourage them, so they rushed to the school.Anyway, now that they are over five years old, they can also go to school and learn something. It doesn't matter how well they learn, as long as they have something to do.

These two children have gone through a great ordeal. Although after more than half a year of recuperation, most of their bones have recovered, and their small faces have become round again, but their already rather shy temperament has become more silent.He always looks cautious and vigilant towards people other than the third bedroom of the Chang family.That catastrophe dealt a great blow to their young minds, and they still often have nightmares at night.

Originally, it was easy for such an older child to express unclearly, not to mention such a terrible thing, so until now the Chang family does not know exactly what happened at that time.

It is only roughly guessed from the sleep talk and some of their words that they were pushed out by the widow, and the widow also asked them to find the person with the logo of Taoyuan Village.Not only that, I also saw my mother being hacked to death, covered with blood, and then the whole house was burned by a fire, so now the two children are very afraid of blood and fire, and dare not approach.

Although the two children are young, they also know that they are dependent on others now.Especially the widow has always instilled in them the concept of being grateful and repaying, so she always wants to do something for the Chang family.But ordinary family members don't let them do it, and let them go to school.Although they don't know what reading means, but since their benefactor asked them to do it, they have to do it well.

The two children are smart, otherwise they would not be able to find Taoyuan Village, which they visited a year or two ago, at a young age. The road is not close, and it is not easy to find.And after wandering outside for nearly a month, he managed to survive.

There is no city between the two villages, and it is still possible to survive begging all the way.There are green forests in the mountains in the middle. There is no one to beg for them, and there is no ready-made food for them to eat.They walked all the way by relying on grass roots and wild fruits, and they were not taken away by wild animals, nor did they starve to death, which proved that they were extraordinary.

Now they are working very hard, even though they only entered the school for two or three months, the new master who taught them praised Chang Xile very much.It is said that these two children learn very fast, but ordinary children can't learn anything in two or three months, but they can already be at the same level as children who have studied for more than half a year.

Because there are few teachers and few students, it is only divided into two classes.New masters teach beginners who are less than two years old, while Song Wancheng teaches old students who are more than two years old.Among them, there are several groups of students, all of whom attend classes together.After one group is taught, the other group is taught, and the others do their homework in the class.

It is also because of this that Ping'er and An'an also learned the courses of the children who entered the school first.

Chang Xile smiled at them and said, "You two, don't think about sneaking out to pick bluegrass, or I'll be angry."

After speaking, the two children lowered their heads one after another.

What Chang Xile didn't understand was that she just wanted to integrate the two children into them, so she deliberately talked to them, but she didn't expect that the two children really had such an idea.Such an older child was still in preschool in the previous life, and acted like a baby in the arms of his parents without knowing anything, but their thoughts were already so heavy.

Chang Xile hugged the two children in her arms, "Hey, I know you are very capable, but today I heard the master praise you for being very smart, study hard, and come back from the exam like me!"

Yang Zi couldn't help interjecting, "Uncle, Ping'er is a girl, so she can't take the exam."

Xing'er smiled and said, "Of course my uncle knows, I still need you to tell me."

Yang Zi scratched his head in embarrassment.

Chang Xi laughed, but he didn't want to fool the child who didn't know what to do. If he really took it to heart and found out later that he couldn't realize it, wouldn't it be harmful.

"If you can't take the exam, you can teach others if you study hard. At that time, the girls will be taught by Ping'er, and the boys will be taught by An'an."

Although Chang Xile meant it as a joke, she really hoped in her heart that there could be a few qualified teachers.Basic education in Taoyuan Village has a long way to go, and it is difficult to hire teachers from outside for a long time. It is best to teach your own family members.This can also make everyone's worldview more consistent, even if it is Song Wancheng's ideas from outside, they don't quite fit.

The literati here more or less still have the temperament of this era, thinking that everything is inferior and only reading is high.Even if they thought it was not the case, some words and deeds showed that this was not what he wanted.

Now that he has time, he will occasionally go to school to give an ideological and political education class to ensure that their thinking does not go astray.Otherwise, if both of them want to study for the purpose of scientific examination, then he will really cry.It's not that he underestimated the children of Taoyuan Village, but the reality is that if these children go to the exam, if they can get one or two scholars, that would be a great thing, and that would be a matter for the whole village to decorate.

In the entire Taoyuan County, no village has produced two scholars, let alone two, many villages have not produced a single scholar.The reason why Song Wancheng's family is so respected is that all three generations have produced talents, so they are highly regarded.

Ping'er and An'an nodded seriously, their eyes extremely firm.

Seeing their eyes that didn't match their age, Chang Xile couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she didn't take it too seriously.He didn't expect these two simple sentences to be deeply engraved in the hearts of the two children, and they carried them out earnestly.

At this time, he was left speechless by Chang Yu.

That night, Chang Xile clearly felt that Chang Yu's mood was not right, and it started after he talked with Ping'er and An An for a while.It's just that they didn't care much in front of the family, and they didn't ask until everyone started to sleep and they entered the house.

As a result, before he could finish speaking, Chang Yu threw him down.Nibbling at him, even though he would make a fuss every now and then at night, Chang Xile obviously felt different from usual, and he seemed to feel the animal nature that Chang Yu could hardly see now, the real animal nature.

"Hiss——Chang Yu, please open it for me."

Chang Xile was bitten on the neck, and now she was really angry.

Although Chang Yu was very reluctant, he obeyed and climbed up from Chang Xile, looking at Chang Xile with dim eyes.

"Tell me, what's going on today?" Chang Xile asked seriously.

"Lele, do you want to adopt Ping'er and An'an?"

Chang Xile didn't realize it for a while, and said inexplicably, "Didn't you adopt it long ago? Why bring it up now?"

"No!" Chang Yu was firm.

Chang Xile was stunned. Although Chang Yu had less sense of identity than ordinary people and lived a more self-centered life, he would not feel sympathy for Ping'er and An An's experiences like other people.He only cares about people he agrees with.But he won't stop others, as long as he doesn't hinder him, he doesn't have any opinions.

But now you will object?

"why?"

Chang Yu stared at Chang Xile angrily, "Lele is mine."

Chang Xile was stunned for a moment, and after a while, her face turned green, and she stepped forward to pinch Chang Yu's ears.

Chang Yu didn't fight back, and said resolutely: "Lele, you can only have me!"

Hearing this, Chang Xile became even more ruthless, and Chang Yu's ears turned red and swollen, and he didn't feel bad at all.

He turned into a roaring horse in an instant, and roared towards Chang Yu's ear: "Do you think I'm a beast! How could I attack such a little guy! Fuck! Shit! Damn!"

Chang Xile was really furious. Although he could understand that Chang Yu was purely possessive and didn't know the ethics behind it, he was very annoyed at the thought of being so misunderstood.Moreover, he was a little guilty.After all, Chang Yu was also watched by him to grow up, but in the end, he was deceived by people in just a few years, and he still does this and that from time to time, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels a little nasty.

The current persistence is also to comfort myself, so that I don't feel so guilty, which is a typical self-deception.

As a result, Chang Yu still told him that he was not allowed to adopt two children, because he was afraid that he would treat them the same as him. He really...

Chang Xile kept playing garbled codes in her heart, not knowing how to vent her anger, so she started running around the house.Wanting to throw something, but reluctant, can only circle back and forth like a headless chicken.

Chang Yu was terrified now. He had never seen Chang Xile like this before, so he quickly hugged Chang Xile and kept him from moving, "Lele, I will treat you well, don't you want them to be good to you?"

Chang Xile's brain broke, and she slammed her head at Chang Yu with such force that stars appeared in front of his eyes.

Chang Yu never expected that Chang Xile would attack suddenly. Seeing that Chang Xile almost knocked him out, he was heartbroken, and kept breathing out at him, "Lele, are you okay? If you are angry with me, hit me with a stick, don't beat me I hurt myself."

Looking at Chang Yu who was completely confused about the situation in front of her, Chang Xile felt that she was quite stupid in this way, so she sighed deeply and tried to calm herself down.

"Is your brain growing in vain? Am I that kind of person?"

Chang Yu blinked, and Chang Xile patted his head, "Didn't I tell you before that this kind of thing can only be done with the person you love, unless you don't love and are no longer together, you can only do it with one person. How can you misunderstand that I adopted those two children and treat them the same as you in the future? I am very angry when you say that, you are questioning my character. "

Chang Yu grinned, his teeth gleaming in a smile, and hugged Chang Xile tightly, "Lele, that's great, you only want me alone!"

Chang Xile couldn't help but rolled his eyes, did he get so excited just because he had a guilty conscience? He knew what Chang Yu looked like, and he deserved it so seriously that he almost passed away in one breath.It's such a comfortable life to be serious with this silly boy.

"If you do this again in the future, I'll be really angry and don't want to talk to you."

Chang Yu let go of his hand, his eyes were a little pitiful, "Who told Lele, you always won't let me in..."

Chang Xile almost stared out her eyes, "Didn't I tell you to wait, you're still young!"

"But they said that I am old enough. If I don't do that with the one I love, it's either incompetent or not liking enough."

Chang Xile immediately regretted letting Chang Yu mix with a group of elders, what kind of nonsense were they listening to!

He had misunderstood the group of gentlemen in the village, who dared to tell him who Chang Yu was.In their eyes, Chang Yu's status was no less than that of Chang Xile, it was a natural worship of force.

However, Chang Yu's hearing is very good. Usually, these big men are tired from training, so they like to get together and talk about dirty jokes.Men are no better at gossiping than women, and they like to tell dirty jokes.In the village, men and women are not taboo, and some are even more open than men and women couples.

After all, women are thin-skinned, and if something in their own room gets out, they won't be ashamed to face others, even if it's a joke, not everyone can afford it.

But men are different. The two men who are together basically don't have the concept of who is the husband and who is the wife, and most of them attack each other.

They actually avoided Chang Yu. Every time they talked about these topics, Chang Yu was far away from them. Normal people would never hear them. How could they know that they happened to meet someone abnormal.

Chang Yu didn't understand at first, and didn't take it to heart.But some topics really touched his eager heart, so listening to people's nonsense every day became a compulsory course.In addition, he watched the live version before, and now he is already an experienced driver in thought.

"That's them, are you going to live with me or with them?"

"Of course it's with you." Chang Yu said firmly.

"That's it. If you're with me, you have to listen to me. If you listen to them, go to them."

Chang Yu curled his lips, although he was not very happy, he still agreed.

Chang Xile also knows that this is not humane, Chang Yu's body is different from ordinary people, and his desires are even stronger.This is an age that is easily impulsive, so it is even more burning.Otherwise, according to Chang Yu's temperament, he would not always want to go back on what he agreed to.

But he really can't pass the test in his heart, without him, he feels that he is committing a crime.Tasting and stopping is his limit, and he will not be able to bear it any further.Who made his mental age much older than his actual age, and he likes to think wildly.

"If it happens again, we will sleep separately."

Chang Yu was completely wilted now.

In order to show punishment, Chang Yu didn't let Chang Yu touch him for nearly a month.In the end, I was the one who was unlucky, the day that I relapsed, the thing was worn out.

At the same time, he was in pain and felt sympathy for his future. Now that it is like this, will he still be able to get out of bed alive...
