"The tomato sauce is so delicious." Liu Yaoqing smiled, "It can be used for frying and cooking, and it can also be dipped in steamed buns. There are few people who don't like it."
"It's boiled on the mountain, and the taste is different from the one in the shop. Why don't you ask the children to buy some from the shop?" Brother Zhezi came in from the outside, holding a plate of tomatoes and strawberries.
Liu Yaoqing ate the small tomatoes, "No need, the ones from our mountain are pretty good."
Every place on the mountain is not idle, even though there are fewer people, but there are still a group of men farming, Su Qi and the others put their homes on the mountain, and Liu Yaoqing rearranged the other places, building them like a big house. There are courtyards within courtyards, and there is a separate courtyard inside. If you suddenly go up the mountain, it looks quite complicated.
The children were all outside, only Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi were in the room, he thought for a while and leaned over and said, "Shall we write something for future generations?"
"Brother Qing?" Brother Zhezi saw Liu Yaoqing nodding, and nodded himself.
Worried that the paper would be damaged, I simply found a bamboo slip book and carved words on it with a knife.Liu Yaoqing hoped that in the future, she or someone could discover these bamboo slips and know what happened.
After engraving, put it in a sealed jar, and there are precious things such as glittering gold.
After doing this, Liu Yaoqing completely relaxed, feeling that she finally truly integrated into this family, into Shanggu Village, and became a complete person here.
He has a good relationship with scholars, regardless of whether it is poems or articles, what he says is his best.
Those scholars who became officials in the court still had a good relationship with Liu Yaoqing, and they all stood by his side both openly and secretly.
The common people have a good relationship with him, and what they talk about, even the big dramas they see occasionally are related to Liu Yaoqing, and they all say that he is good, and they will not say anything bad about him.
Liu Yaoqing is satisfied with being a human being.
That is, Brother Zhezi followed him as if he had become an invisible person. The common people only knew Liu Yaoqing, but they didn't know Brother Zhezi very well.Liu Yaoqing played tricks and engraved many things about Brother Zhezi in the bamboo slips.
He is proficient in all aspects of culture, Taoism and martial arts, but he is willing to guard Liu Yaoqing.
"Maybe some ordinary people will go to Xiandao now?" Liu Yaoqing leaned on Brother Zhezi, and ate the milk beans he just made.
"Well, there are already quite a few." Brother Zhezi said, "The construction of Xiandao is almost done."
"Then let's go and have a look later when we have time." Liu Yaoqing said casually.
When Xiandao was built, not only young masters and young ladies from rich families could go there, but ordinary people could also go there.
Save money for a year or so, and wait for the news from Linhai that the boat fare to Xiandao will be discounted, and the round trip will only cost the money of the previous trip. This is very cost-effective, and many people are rushing go.
First go to Linhai to live for a day, and then line up to board the boat.
This time it wasn't just one ship, but three big ships, standing on the sea like a majestic hill, it was frightening to watch.
"It's a good thing we don't get seasick." The little brother said with a smile to the brothers beside him as he waited to get on the boat with a burden on his shoulders.
"Brother Zhen seems to have told us that when seasick, sometimes the whole family gets seasick, and some families don't."
"That's what Brother Qing said, Brother Zhen heard what Brother Qing said."
Several brothers entered the boat together, looking for their own house with the wooden sign in their hands.
There are people waiting by the corridor in uniform clothes. If you can't find your room, you can ask them.
"Here, come quickly." The little brother suddenly shouted.
"I'm coming."
They are all brothers of Zhen Ge Er, and the money back and forth this time is given by Zhen Ge Er. The room they put on is four people to one room, which is a bit cramped, but it is not unbearable to spend less money.
What's more, the days of not having enough to eat and not to wear warm are over, now this bit of suffering is nothing.
Waiting for the boat to dock, get off the boat, get in the carriage and go to the house to settle down.
There has long been a steward who brought people to receive them, and someone specially introduced, "You can go to the sand table to take a rest and decide where you want to go. Some places do not require money, and some places cost money. There are signs on the sand table. There are also carriages going to various places, several times a day, there is a big wooden sign at the gate of the house, and there are written on it."
"I know." The little brother nodded happily.
After a day's rest, I went to the big dining hall for dinner. Several people discussed going out through the gate, and they saw a big wooden sign.
The words on it are very simple, it says that there are numbers on the carriages, and the time and place where the carriages are going are all fixed, regardless of wind or rain.
The brothers are all literate. Speaking of which, schools are popular now, not to mention how educated the common people are, but they all know some characters, and there is no problem in reading wooden signs.
"Go to the mountain to enjoy the flowers first, there is an open space there, we can rest there. Then go to the beach to see the sea, come back in a carriage at night, and go to the big dining hall for dinner. This is a free route, and we will look at other places tomorrow. "
"Success, that's it."
Only the big dining hall of the house is in charge of meals, and there is no need to spend money. They are all big pot dishes. If you want to eat exquisite meals in restaurants outside, you have to spend money.
Brother Zhen and these brothers also brought money, but they are used to frugality, and they are willing to spend one or two copper coins in a carriage, but they are not willing to spend a lot of money on meals.
After playing for one day, everyone discussed going to the hot spring the next day.
The buddies have a separate yard for hot springs. It is a big pool that costs the least money. There are also places to take a shower and put clothes. There are also low flowering trees inside, which bloom out of season and are very beautiful.
"I heard that there is also a one-on-one service. There is a separate big pool to take a bath, and there are people waiting for you next to you."
"That would cost a lot of money."
"One brew, more than a hundred and eighty taels of silver. I heard that there are fairy brew and peach brew in it. You can buy whatever you want to eat. It's all silver."
"When we have money in the future, we will also enjoy it."
"You can put it down, I went to the beach yesterday, and you are not willing to give up a bowl of ice for a few dollars."
The buddies talked and laughed and took off their clothes, only wearing obscene pants, and went to the big pool to soak in the hot springs with the other buddies.The water is not deep, and there are layers of non-slip steps around it, so you can sit on it and rest.
The warm water can feel flowing against the body, and the whole person is relaxed.
On the top of the hill not far away, there are beautiful pavilions of different shapes. Some young ladies gather together to chat and laugh, and some scholars gather together to recite poems and match each other. It is very busy.
The stewards wearing uniform clothes walked among them, carefully arranging the people under them, so that nothing would happen.
If there was trouble, the stewards would generally not take care of it. There was also a barracks on the island, and strong men would come running right away.
Although there is no yamen on the island, there are cronies sent by the emperor, who are more capable than the yamen.
Play for three days in a row, play during the day, and there is also a bonfire party at night, the night view is more beautiful.It was time to go back. If you want to stay, you have to spend money. My buddies are reluctant to buy some wood carvings and go back by boat.
Brother Zhen had been waiting in Dan County for a long time. Seeing that the brothers had returned safely, he arranged for them to go to the house to rest.
"How is it?" Brother Zhen said with a smile, "I've been there twice, and I think soaking in hot springs is the most comfortable."
"The beach is also very lively."
"Good place, I will go there again when I have a chance."
People who have been to Xiandao never forget that it is really a place where gods stay.
Unknowingly, every household can fill their stomachs, eat and wear warm clothes, and this requires the pursuit of higher enjoyment, such as visiting Xiandao, especially during the festivals.
In the past, it would be nice if the family could eat dumplings or even some fine noodles, but now not only eat dumplings, but also have to think about going to Xiandao to see the scenery. If you don't go, you will lose face chatting with the villagers.
There are also people thinking about how to wear more comfortable, anyway, how to enjoy life.
The changes on the outside seem to be extremely slow year by year, but if you look back at the beginning, you will find that the walls of your dilapidated house are broken. The only food in the house is brown rice, and the rest are wild vegetable leaves. With that little grain, there is not much left after paying the grain tax.
At that time, if there were children in the family, they had to be carefully raised, and if they were not careful, they might not be able to support them.
Look now, my brother is pregnant, and all of them are fat and fat. The hair and nails of the children grow very long, and one is fatter than the other. After drinking goat milk, no one is thin .
There are special places in Yamen to sell pork, and the price is the same in every place. There are five or six layers of pork belly for pork fat. Go buy a piece and come back to make dumplings, not to mention how fragrant it is.
Some old people were starving when they thought they were going to die, but they had potatoes and corn to fill their stomachs, and they looked younger and younger, carrying a hoe to work in the fields, no worse than a young man.
The young people in the village also have hope, and they all want to work in Dan County, Linhai, or Xiandao. If they get along well and become stewards, it will be a matter of honoring a village.
"I heard that a small country wants to rob us of our grain seeds and pigs."
"You know it too? I just heard about it too."
"They think beautifully, so why give it to them for no reason."
"Our Daqin pays attention to courtesy and reciprocity. If we don't give us the corresponding things, why should we give them these good things?"
Everyone came from the hard times back then, and now they heard about it, and their attitudes were all the same.
Those officials in the imperial court, because the scholars have to make some noise every day or two, and the common people know everything clearly, now they also think that Daqin's things are good, and they are not willing to give them.
The emperor's attitude was the same, so he consulted with the ministers in private, and when he came back, he said: "It's okay to give things, but you have to come up with corresponding things."
The envoys sent by the small country were a little confused. They were weak and they just wanted to get some good things to go back to develop and develop. Why did they still have to deal legally in the end?
However, now that the Great Qin is more powerful than before, the envoys of the small country dare not make decisions without authorization, so they have to write to the king.
The ruler of the country is also depressed, he has all belonged to him, why doesn't Daqin take the initiative to appease the good things?But the life of the people of Great Qin is better than that of the nobles of small countries. Facing the request of Great Qin, the king can only hold his nose and admit it.
The author has something to say:
The main line of farming has been completed, and the following is the extra episode, which has little to do with farming.
