[Rebirth] Second-hand small landlords

Tong Qingran, who returned home, stayed quietly at home for a few days, and finally decided to go out when he was sure that no one seemed to come to talk to him.By the way, I went to my own industry for a field trip, and then came to make a new plan for my future. It is not Tong Qingran's character to sit and eat.The first stop is the hundreds of acres of depressions near Gaodang Lake, which is said to be the closest to home.

"It used to be that the master specially asked someone to open it to prepare for farming... But I didn't expect that Gaodang Lake would be flooded every year, and it would be completely flooded every season. Basically, there is no harvest. Now it has been abandoned for several years. I I haven't been there for a while!" The old housekeeper explained to Tong Qingran while leading the way.

Tong Qingran thought in his mind, it sounds like farming is not enough, I wonder if it can be changed into a rice field, um, or plant lotus root, maybe fish can be raised or something.Of course, he has never done these things, but he has never eaten pork and seen pigs running. If it doesn't work, he will hire someone to do it.In short, I can't just leave this low land so barren, it's too wasteful, and my wealth is too little, so I have to use it all rationally!

However, when Tong Qingran heard what the old housekeeper said, she looked up at the scene in front of her, then looked at the left and right sides, and finally her head was covered with black lines: "Uncle Yu, I have very good eyesight, don't lie to me... where?"

"Ah! I haven't been here for a long time, have reeds grown?" The old housekeeper also looked surprised, "It's quite lush!"

"Uncle Yu, I know you're old, and it's normal to be deaf and blind. I'll give you another chance and take a closer look. Is it really this place?" Tong Qingran asked again in disbelief.

Sure enough, the old housekeeper led Tong Qingran and wanted to walk a short distance, and finally said affirmatively: "That's right, my lord, this is here, and all the places I just walked through!"

His rice fields, his lotus ponds, his fish ponds... the reeds, or the endless reeds?

Tong Qingran looked at the area in front of him stupidly, if they hadn't stood at a relatively high position, he probably wouldn't have been able to see how magnificent the reed field was.It's just the beginning of summer now, and it's all lush green at first glance, which is quite beautiful... But, no matter how beautiful it is, it's useless!What does he want this reed for?Establishing his own secret base, and he is not prepared to rebel?

Tong Qingran, who was hit too hard, really wanted to cry but had no tears. In fact, his request is not high, really, as long as the depression is enough, return the depression!

The old butler didn't feel Tong Qingran's sadness at all, and silently took out a small hatchet from his waist, and began to chop the nearby reeds with a "Ka Ka Ka".The old butler's words are right, the reeds are really good, each one is quite thick, and they are very tall, almost as tall as Tong Qingran's two people.

Seeing the old housekeeper chopping reeds, Tong Qingran sat directly aside, dragged a reed that had just been cut over, and peeled off the leaves of the reed three times to vent his anger, exposing a bare green reed stalk.

"Uncle Yu, why are you cutting these reeds?" It took Tong Qingran a while to come back to her senses, and there was already a pile of freshly cut reeds piled up under their feet.

The old housekeeper raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his brow: "Get it back later, dry it and burn it as firewood. Although this thing is not worth firewood, it is very convenient to start a fire..."

"So, this large piece of reed is only used as firewood?" Tong Qingran couldn't help complaining.

"This thing is really not very useful. It's just that some people think it's not as durable as firewood, so it's not as good as firewood!" The old housekeeper said very directly.

"Damn it!" Tong Qingran lay down on the ground slumped, looking at the reed flowers, "Forget it, Uncle Yu, get me a reed flower pillow later...Let's do this first!"

The old housekeeper turned his head to look at Tong Qingran suspiciously: "My lord, how do you make a reed pillow?"

"That's simple, just pick off the reed flower and dry it and put it in the pillow..." Tong Qingran sat up suddenly after saying this, "Uncle Yu, haven't you seen the reed flower pillow? We Doesn't anyone here use this kind of pillow?"

"I haven't seen it, but I don't know if it's available in other places? Since you know it, my lord, it should be available in other places..." The old housekeeper was not very sure.

Tong Qingran suddenly thought of another thing: "What about the reed mat?"

"What is a reed mat?" The old housekeeper was a little puzzled.

"Hey, hey... No way, there's no reed mat?" Tong Qingran looked surprised, "Then it's going to be summer soon, what do we lay on the bed here?"

"It is said that the farmers will lie directly on the wooden boards, the nobles will have jade mats, and people like us will prepare straw mats..." The old housekeeper is completely spreading common sense to Tong Qingran, "By the way, summer is coming soon. Arrived, the straw mats in our house have been prepared several years ago, and we should buy a new one this year. However, we don’t grow the grass that makes the straw mats here, so the price of the straw mats has always been relatively high, and we don’t Do you know if the price will increase this year?"

Tong Qingran regained her spirits immediately, and burst out laughing: "God helped me! Uncle Yu, you don't need to buy straw mats, you don't need to buy them... Get more reeds and go back, we will weave a reed mat..."

"A reed mat? Is it the same as a straw mat?" The old housekeeper was still a little puzzled, "My lord, can you weave a reed mat?"

"Uncle Yu, don't be so skeptical, okay?" Tong Qingran got up and helped the old housekeeper start packing the reeds, "I promise you will be surprised later, and all the reeds are also collected. I will make a reed pillow, don't waste it!"

Tong Qingran was right. During the few years he lived with his master, the master said that he wanted to absorb the spirit of heaven and earth, and there were not many modern metal things in his home.Many supplies are either wood or rattan, or straw weaving or bamboo art. Naturally, those things are not as easy to use as iron and plastic.Large items are okay, but small items will break apart after a while, and you will have to spend more money to change them.

Tong Qingran was led by his master to make it by himself, and slowly he learned how to make simple household items.Although there is no guarantee that the things made by myself will be as exquisite as the ones sold, but after trying a few times, there is no big problem in making them.

Anyone who has used a reed mat knows that this thing is easy to break.Tong Qingran had the experience of dismantling all three reed mats with holes and using the remaining materials to remake a new reed mat, so making up a reed mat was really not a big problem for him.

Although the old housekeeper doubted Tong Qingran's words, seeing that he was so positive, he didn't want to pour cold water on him, so he was silently busy with Tong Qingran's cleaning up.

Tong Qingran was really happy. The reason why he was so disappointed when he saw Lu Weidang at first was because it was so different from his expectation.However, now that he thought about the use of the reed, he became excited.Even if he picks the reed flowers here to make pillows, he can make a fortune. Sure enough, there is no unparalleled road!

In the end, the two packed up a large bundle of reeds and went back.Originally, the old butler had to drag it alone, but Tong Qingran couldn't watch an old man do this, so he divided up a small bundle and dragged it by himself, and the two of them dragged it all the way.

At the beginning of weaving the reed mat, we must first choose the reed poles. It must be straight and straight, and the ones should be thicker. Tong Qingran has been busy for a long time just by choosing this step.The next step is to cut the reed stalks with a knife and crush them into a flat piece with a roller or something. After these are done, the initial materials are ready.Tong Qingran specially prepared some extra materials, fearing that the first weaving would waste a lot.

Seeing that Tong Qingran was gesticulating with a small knife, and almost scratched his hand several times, the old housekeeper couldn't help but came over and took away his knife: "Young Master, I understand, I'll get it!"

"Well, that's actually not my fault, the main reason is that this knife is too difficult to use..." Tong Qingran wanted to defend himself.

The old butler followed Tong Qingran's example and carefully cut open the reed pole. After doing it a few times, he gradually got started, his speed was much faster than Tong Qingran's!

Tong Qingran had already had a preliminary understanding of her own combat power, and she didn't feel embarrassed even if she was once again made into a negative five.Well, obviously we are intelligent modern people, there is no need to compare with the ancients, right?

The work of crushing was also done by the old housekeeper. Tong Qingran only explained to people a little bit, and people understood how it was done, and it was done quickly and well.

When it was time to start weaving, Tong Qingran consciously retreated to the second line, only in charge of directing and explaining, while the old housekeeper was in charge of doing it.The two of them had a clear division of labor, mainly because the old housekeeper was afraid that Tong Qingran would hurt his hands when he saw that the reeds had so many burrs and were sharp after crushing.Tong Qingran didn't plan to make any complicated patterns, just the most common and simplest one, starting from the middle, placing a cross shape, and then adding one by one to the surroundings.The most difficult thing was the final hemming. The two of them tried more than ten times before finally finding the right method.

After weaving the first reed mat, they were really busy for many days. Even the old housekeeper couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the finished product.

Tong Qingran proudly took off her shoes and jumped on them: "Hahaha... It's done, I am indeed a genius!"

The old butler wandered around for several times, surprised at the fact that he had actually made a reed mat, and finally couldn't help but nodded: "This reed mat doesn't look any worse than a straw mat!"

"Of course! The most important thing is that our family has a lot of raw materials, as much as you want..." Tong Qingran happily sat cross-legged on the mat and began to look forward to the road to making a fortune in the future. The more he thought about it, the happier he became. I am a genius myself.A piece of useless reeds can also be found by himself, and Tong Qingran suddenly bursts with confidence.

"Master, it's getting late, go to bed!"

Old housekeeper, don't you really know that this sentence has two meanings?

Tong Qingran looked at the sky outside, it was really late, but old butler, you can actually change the reminder method, really... Otherwise, just remind him not to daydream!decline!
