I live and bring goods in ancient times

Shen Qianyu returned home with the ground flour.

"Xiaoqian is back?" Guo Xiujuan looked at Shen Qianyu with a smile, and answered before he could ask, "Zeyun went back to his side to prepare herbs."

"...I don't want to ask this." Shen Qianyu rubbed her nose and sat next to Guo Xiujuan, "I want to ask about batik, grandma, didn't you say you know it before? Batik requires What materials?"

"You need beeswax and a relatively unique copper knife." Guo Xiujuan said, she roughly described the appearance of the copper knife to Shen Qianyu, "There is also cotton cloth. As for the dye, the bucket you just made is fine."

The copper knife described by Guo Xiujuan is a tool specially used to draw patterns in batik. Its shape is somewhat similar to that of a writing brush, the difference lies in the "pen" part.

The pen of the brush is made of hair, and the underside of the copper knife is composed of two or more thin copper sheets of the same shape. The knife edge is slightly open and the middle is relatively empty, so as to store beeswax (1).

In order to draw various patterns more conveniently, the shape of the copper knife is also more changeable.

Shen Qianyu rubbed her chin when she heard the words. Beeswax is a bit difficult to get. I don't know if it is sold in Lijia Village. As for the copper knife, I can just find a blacksmith and give him a general description, and it should be able to make it.

After thinking about it, Shen Qianyu said, "Let me inquire about it when I go to Lijia Village to pull tiles in two days."

After all, Shen Qianyu walked to the vat where the indigo was made before, and fished out the froth on it. After drying, the froth can be made into 'indigo flower'

"Zeyun, Zeyun!?" Shen Qianyu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Gu Zeyun for a long time before Gu Zeyun suddenly turned his head to look at him in surprise.

"Why are you always distracted recently?" Shen Qianyu asked slightly worried.

In the past two days, Gu Zeyun would stare at himself in a daze from time to time, which is a bit too abnormal... Could it be because he is going to work on tiles in Lijia Village soon, so he started thinking about him in advance?

"Nothing." Gu Zeyun shook his head.

"Mr. Qian, I think your daughter-in-law may be homesick." A Bo analyzed inscrutablely.

"Homesickness?" Shen Qianyu asked A Bo in his heart.

"Mr. Qian, haven't you heard of 'Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head to think of your hometown'?" A Bo said solemnly, "Why were there so many thought poems in ancient times? Naturally, it was because of those wandering wanderers in ancient times, Alone outside, so far away from home, it is inevitable that you will feel homesick!"

It has to be said that although Ah Bo is an artificially retarded person, his words are not completely unreasonable. In addition, he once asked Gu Zeyun, and the other party came to Guojia Village after a few twists and turns from a backward family.

It is also reasonable to be homesick.

Gu Zeyun once said that he came from a place called Yin Feng.

"Zeyun." Shen Qianyu stretched out his hand to hold Gu Zeyun's hand, and asked, "Do you... miss your hometown?"

Gu Zeyun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Shen Qianyu to think so, he shook his head, hesitant to speak.

How could he be homesick, he was clearly worried about the person in front of him.

As everyone knows, when Shen Qianyu came to Shen Qianyu, his worries were interpreted as "homesickness, but because he was afraid that the other party would think too much, he refrained from expressing it."

Shen Qianyu looked at Gu Zeyun, couldn't help but put her arms around his waist, and pulled him into her arms.

"Zeyun, I'm going to pull tiles in Lijia Village tomorrow." Shen Qianyu said.

"I'll go with you." Gu Zeyun buried his face in Shen Qianyu's arms and rubbed against each other, whispering.

"You've been quite busy recently." Shen Qianyu reached out and played with Gu Zeyun's hair, "I'll just go by myself."

"No." Gu Zeyun looked up at Shen Qianyu, "I don't worry about you, I also prescribed medicines for those who were sick before, and I just need to go to the follow-up consultation tomorrow or the day after."

Shen Qianyu laughed a little, he is not a child anymore, but the worry from his lover is quite useful.

Since Gu Zeyun insisted so much, he didn't refuse any more, "Then I have to trouble Zeyun to work hard with me."

"It's not hard." Gu Zeyun said with a smile.

Pulling tiles is more troublesome, and a donkey cart can't hold much. Shen Qianyu discussed with the village chief, borrowed the mules from the village, and said that when the villagers pull tiles, they can also use them Contribute from your own donkey.

In this way, two cars of tiles can be pulled back and forth in one trip, and the efficiency can be improved a lot.

After explaining to Guo Xiujuan, Shen Qianyu and Gu Zeyun drove a car towards Lijia Village.

After arriving in Lijia Village, they found Li Daneng's yard by familiar means. Two people came over after pulling a wave of tiles, and then walked towards the Wayao with a cart.

"Are you here?" Li Daneng glanced at them, and pointed to the row of tiles beside the yard, "Those are all from your family, and there are still some, they are helping to pull over from the tile kiln."

Shen Qianyu nodded, and told Li Daneng that the new house also wanted to be built with a tile roof.

Li Daneng thought for a while, "There are quite a lot of tiles, and it will take a lot of time to transport them. I have to keep an eye on the situation of the tile kilns these days. I will go there with you after you transport them for a few days. At that time, I will measure the size by the way.”

"Of course no problem." Shen Qianyu nodded, "Brother Daneng, I want to ask you, is there any seller of beeswax in your village?"

"The family at the end of the village is a beekeeper." Li Daneng said, "But I don't know if there is any beeswax for sale."

"Is that so." Shen Qianyu continued to ask, "Then is there a blacksmith in your village?"

"Yes, it's next door to the beekeeping house." Li Daneng said.

"Thank you, Brother Daneng." Shen Qianyu said with a smile, "Then the two of us will go to the end of the village to have a look first, and then come to pull the tiles. Can this car be parked in the yard for a while?"

"No problem, you go." Li Daneng said.

Shen Qianyu and Gu Zeyun led the donkey cart into the yard, and walked side by side towards the end of the village.

They were also lucky, and after asking, they found out that the beekeeper happened to have a piece of beeswax left for sale, and they planned to take it to the town to sell together with the honey tomorrow.

After asking the price, Shen Qianyu readily bought it, took the wrapped piece of beeswax, and went to the blacksmith's house next door.

Shen Qianyu and the blacksmith briefly described the shape of the copper knife. After hearing this, the blacksmith thought for a while and said that it could be made.

Therefore, Shen Qianyu ordered three different types of copper knives from the blacksmith, and ordered two of each type, a total of six.

The blacksmith asked him to come back to pick up the goods in half a month.

After paying the other party a part of the deposit, Shen Qianyu and Gu Zeyun went back to Li Daneng's yard together, and moved the tiles to the car bit by bit.

After filling, the two drove away again.

This back and forth, the time of the day is gone.

Looking at the neat pile of small tiles in the yard, Shen Qianyu missed the big modern trucks.

But... even if there is a big truck, the road in the village can't bear it, and nostalgia is useless.

After washing off the dust and exhaustion, Shen Qianyu and Gu Zeyun embraced each other and fell asleep.

The next day, Shen Qianyu persuaded Gu Zeyun to go to the village for follow-up consultation.

Facing Gu Zeyun's worried expression, Shen Qianyu smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, Master Goudan will accompany me there, and he will go to see his sister by the way, and nothing will happen."

"Qianyu, be careful on the road." Gu Zeyun stretched out his hand to touch Shen Qianyu's face, and exhorted.

Shen Qianyu nodded quickly in response.

Arriving at Lijia Village with Guo Goudan, Shen Qianyu first followed him to his sister's house as a drop-off guest, and then inquired about the place 'Yin Feng' with the people of Lijia Village.

Everyone said they didn't know.

"A Bo, can you find information about Yin Feng?" Shen Qianyu sighed and asked A Bo in his heart.

"Mr. Qian, I can't find it." A Bo said, "There is no information about this world on the star network. At present, A Bo has not heard the local people talk about the topic of 'Yin Feng', so there is no information."

People in Lijia Village don't know, but it's understandable, the village is relatively closed after all, so I'd better inquire about it when I go to the town next time.

Shen Qianyu temporarily put this matter behind her, and spent the next few days busy transporting tiles.

Fortunately, he still has a conscience, and he remembered to take a vacation with the viewers on Zha Lang.

After some of the tiles were transported, Li Daneng followed their car to Guojia Village, first went to measure the size of the new house for Shen Qianyu, and then started to replace the roof for them.

Replacing the roof is a bit difficult for one person. Shen Qianyu asked the village chief to help him find a few villagers who were willing to help, and asked them to come and help Li Daneng for a fee.

Counting from pulling the tiles, it took more than half a month of tossing before the roof was completely replaced.

Shen Qianyu paid Li Daneng the cost of the roof, paid an extra hard fee, and paid the wages of the villagers who came to help.

The next fellow who replaced the roof borrowed the donkey cart from Shen Qianyu's family, and drove the shared mule in the village to pull the tiles, and dropped by to send Li Daneng back to the village.

Estimating the time, the custom-made copper knife should also be ready, so Shen Qianyu gave the balance of the copper knife to the villager by the way, and asked him to help him bring the copper knife back along the way.

After the roof was replaced, Shen Qianyu could rest for a while, and the exhaustion of traveling for ten consecutive days was really too much for him.

Qi Xuan ran excitedly on the new roof for a while, then jumped to the window out of curiosity, and looked with his head.

Then it saw Shen Qianyu lying on the bed like a cake, and fell asleep after a while.

As soon as Gu Zeyun walked in with tea, he heard Shen Qianyu's little snoring.

Putting the tea on the table beside him, Gu Zeyun walked to the bed lightly, stared at Shen Qianyu's sleeping face for a while, bent down to help him take off his shoes, and then carefully took off his coat , put his legs on the bed.

Gu Zeyun pulled the thin quilt aside, bent down to cover Shen Qianyu, lowered his head and gently pressed a kiss on his lips.

Originally, Gu Zeyun seriously planned how to 'catch the current situation', but who knows that because of the moving of the tiles, he couldn't implement it in time.

However, he is not in a hurry, the future will be long, and sooner or later he will figure out what's going on.

Turning his head to stare at Qi Xuan who was peeking by the window, Gu Zeyun got up and left the room.

Qi Xuan trembled, jumped into the room lightly, and ran out after Gu Zeyun.
