I farmed in ancient times

Jueming desperately concealed the fact that he was injured, for fear that Father Cen and Cen Chaoan would find out.If they knew that they were in danger outside, they would definitely not let themselves out so easily.

In the past few days, Jue Ming even changed the medicine in the middle of the night, when everyone in the house was asleep.

With a back injury, it was very difficult for Cassia to take a bath. He had to soak half of it in the bucket and wipe the other half by himself. Even so, it took a long time for Cassia to take a bath, but he didn't like asking others to help.

Because he covered it up well, Cen Daonian and Cen Chaoan never knew that Jueming was almost killed by pirates before he came back.

The end of the month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, autumn insects hide in the grass and cry, the windows are half open, and the hazy moonlight falls on the ground through the panes.

Cassia sat on the edge of the bed, and Zhong Xin untied the cloth strips on his back, exposing his back.

"The wound has scabbed over, and the area around the scab is a bit red." Zhong Xin asked, "Do you still need to apply medicine?"

"No need, just wrap it up with a clean one." Jueming breathed a sigh of relief, at least there was no pus, the redness around the area meant a bit of inflammation, it was nothing more than a slower healing of the wound, and it would heal completely in a few months .

Now, although the scab has formed on the top, the inside has not grown well yet, as long as the movement is a little bigger, the wound will still tear open and bleed.

Zhong Xin changed a clean cloth to tie it tightly for Cassia Ming. After the two said good night to each other, Zhong Xin blew out the oil lamp for him, closed the door lightly and left.

Cassia was injured, and he didn't even bother to leave the house these few days, and Cen Chaoan was happy to see his brother immediately when he went home every day. After a few days, an unexpected visitor came to the house in the evening.

Li Xiurong.

When Jueming received the news, he was already in the main hall, and he hurried to see the face that deserved a beating, so he ordered his servants to prepare hot tea.

Cen Chaoan, who followed, bowed his hands to Li Xiurong, and politely called out, "Brother Xiurong."

"Look at how sweet Chaoan's name is. Come here, brother brings you some gadgets." Li Xiurong quickly recruited Cen Chaoan away, but Cen Chaoan was past the age of liking new gadgets. After thanking Li Xiurong, Let people put it away.

Li Xiurong moved to the carved chair next to Jueming and sat down, leaning half of his body over, "Jade Ming, behind you..."

Jue Ming hurriedly interrupted him, "Li Xiurong!"

Cen Chaoan gave his brother a strange look, and Jue Ming hurriedly asked, "When did you come back? Aren't you still in Hangzhou?"

"The task is completed, so I came back." Li Xiurong took a sip of tea and blew on it, "Your back..."

He definitely did it on purpose!Caesar couldn't take it anymore, got up and covered his mouth, Li Xiurong hurriedly put the tea on the small table at hand, and reached out to stop Caesar, the two stared at each other, Caesar said: "Chao'an, don't you still need to review your homework?" ?”

Cen Chaoan responded, got up and went to the backyard, Jue Ming put down his hands, "Don't talk about this anymore!"

"Why can't you say it?" Li Xiurong teased him, "No, I'm going to say, Cen Chao'an! Your brother is at sea—"

Jue Ming hugged his head tightly, covered his mouth tightly, and threatened in a low voice: "If you dare to speak out, you will never even think about approaching the gate of Cen Mansion again."

Li Xiurong glanced up vigorously, stared at Jue Ming's face and nodded fiercely, Jue Ming let go of his hand, Li Xiurong asked: "Is this a secret between us two?"

Cassia said coolly, "Jiang Jinnian also knows."

"He doesn't count, so he has no chance to come over and sue." Li Xiurong dismissed the person without thinking, Jue Ming stared, "You still know it's a complaint!"

"Tsk." Li Xiurong glanced at Jue Ming, "What are you doing so clearly?"

Jueming: "What are you doing here?"

"Look at you." Li Xiurong said, "Why not? Kiss you secretly?"

As he spoke, Li Xiurong stood up with his hands on the armrests, tilted his head and glanced at the profile of Cassia Ming, the distance between the two was less than a foot.

"You!" Jue Ming immediately blushed, stepped back hastily, and clenched a fist with one hand, wanting to punch Li Xiurong directly in the face.Li Xiurong was afraid that he would be really angry, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I won't kiss anymore."

"Hmph! If you have nothing to do, let's go quickly." Jueming turned his head. For the convenience of putting on and taking off, he has been wearing wide-sleeved shirts for the past few days. When he turned around, he flicked his sleeves casually, like a Confucian, with a natural temperament.

It's a pity that Jue Mingsheng's lips are red and his teeth are white, and he looks like a literati, but he can't do it without writing. Li Xiurong leaned over, "Are you angry?"

Caesar was too lazy to talk to Li Xiurong.

"Then I won't tell you about Jiang Jinnian going to the palace to find officials." Li Xiurong muttered in a low voice, and turned his head when he heard this, "Is it about pirates?"

"Not all of them." Li Xiurong cooed, "Isn't the official family going to marry Cao Bin's granddaughter in December?"

"So what? What does it have to do with pirates?" Jue Ming wondered.

"You don't know him..." Li Xiurong swallowed half of his words, "He told the officials about the pirates, and the officials immediately ordered the coastal defense to be reorganized."

Jueming still didn't know what the relationship between Tian's family marrying a wife was, but it was shocking that Jiang Jinnian's words could make the officials order Haiphong to be rectified.

As expected of Jiang Jinnian, a person who can get himself out of prison with just one sentence.

"You're a military officer now, who's under you?" Jue Ming sat across from Li Xiurong, facing Li Xiurong from afar.

As for being so defensive, Li Xiurong murmured in his heart, "I'm a sailor, I've had some activities at home, and now I'm going to be transferred to the Tiger Wing Forbidden Army... What are you laughing at?"

Caesar Ming restrained his smile, and asked seriously: "How many grades?"

"How many grades are there?" Li Xiurong lifted the hem of the crow-blue official robe on his body, "I don't want to take the exam if I knew it was a big official."

"You don't know how to swim, so how did you become a sailor?" Speaking of sailors, Jue Ming couldn't help laughing. This word has another meaning in modern times.

Li Xiurong was laughed at by him, and touched his face for no reason, but there was nothing on his face.

"Wu Yuan insisted on teaching me, so I just learned it casually." Li Xiurong lied without blushing after touching his face, but he was thinking in his heart: I didn't learn it because of you. Just in time to jump into the sea to save people.

"Wu Yuan knows how to swim?"

"Yes."

Cassia: "..." I really couldn't find anything to say.

Fortunately, when Cen Daonian came back, Li Xiurong took his leave and left, saying that he would come to play with Cassia when he was in Xiumu.

——I don’t want to play with you.

Cassia complained in his heart.

Before the injury on his back healed, Jueming took blue beads to ripen a big watermelon in the backyard, and hid it in the house, intending to eat it again in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Jiang Jinnian asked someone to deliver a letter saying that the bag of seeds on the boat was lost, and if he had a chance, he would get some back.

Jueming sighed regretfully, Taxue could come back safe and sound in the shadow of swords and swords, if he had known earlier, he would have tied the seeds to Taxue.

It's too late to regret now, but the seeds can still be found, it's just a little more troublesome.

Putting all these troubles behind him, Cassia began to make wine.

Wine making in the Song Dynasty was purely based on fermentation, and there was no distilled wine at that time. Cassia lay down on the table, slowly listing the knowledge he had learned in his previous big history class on paper, wondering if he could find a way to make distilled wine.

The principle of distillation is not difficult. Jue Ming remembers that the old five-cup method of distilling wine has a large pot with a pipe connected to it. Put the fermented ingredients into the large pot and cover it tightly, heat it, and steam it out. The wine will flow from the pipe to the outside.

It is easy to think, but difficult to do.What kind of fermentation is used for fermentation?How to distill?How to determine the degree of wine?These old methods, which were almost replaced by industrial production in modern times, were difficult to restore in ancient times.

Scratching his head at home, he couldn't think of any good solution, so he simply went to the street to buy wine.

While buying wine and chatting with the bartender in the store, Jueming inquired a lot of news.

At this time, most of the wine sold by each family was bought from the government, and each family had its own brewing method, with different flavors.

Before the grapes were out of season, Caesar bought some to go home and waste them.There is no need for koji to make wine, and the brewing method is very simple.

Buy those fresh grapes with a layer of hoarfrost on the grapes, gently wash and dry them, pick them off one by one, pinch them, put them in a jar scalded with hot water, add a layer of grapes and a layer of sugar, and finally sprinkle A layer of sugar, close the lid tightly, and you can drink it in ten days and half a month.

In order to make the best taste, Caesar adjusted the ratio of grapes and sugar, made twenty small altars and put them in the house.

In addition to making wine, Caesar spent money on a wine-making woman who had the know-how to make wine.

Grains are generally used for fermentation. For the first fermentation of Cassia, I bought a bag of rice, steamed the rice, mixed it with koji when it was almost cold, and put it in a cool and dry place, and took a look at it from time to time.

Not surprisingly, it failed.

After flipping through the record sheet a few times, Caesar sighed. The ancients did not have thermometers and hygrometers when making wine, it all depended on experience.

But I lack experience, so it's still too early to make wine.

Fortunately, several jars of wine were successfully brewed. Jue Ming memorized the proportions and carefully wrote down the wine list in a small book.

Tossing the fermented material at night, during the day, Jueming would bite his pen and write down some of his own experience, and compile them into a book.

Now Cassia has a record in his hand that describes in detail that plants are divided into male and female, and that the traits of crops can be changed through hybridization.

Just waiting for someone to inherit these, in case he dies, he can make seeds that can increase the yield per mu.

This candidate, Jue Ming almost had a good idea.

"Zhong Xin."

Cassia Ming was shouting, Zhong Xin rushed into the room, and waited for Cassia Ming to speak after cupping his hands.

Drying the ink on the letter paper in his hand, Caesar folded it carefully, sealed it in an envelope, and wrote the address on it.

"Send it, let Wang Ergou come to Bianjing."

"Yes." Zhong Xin took the envelope and went to the street to find a post station that could deliver the letter. A letter was sent from the north to the south. A month later, Wang Ergou came hurriedly.

The author has something to say: Li Xiurong: I am a navy.

Cassia: Pfft.

Li Xiurong: I am really a sailor!Tiger Wing Navy!
