"Ah Hao, has this disease been cured?" The third uncle and third aunt secretly asked Geng Qiu in private.
"Yes. Take a few doses of medicine first, and Dr. Li asked him to go to Zhoufu for needles after taking the medicine. Just a few more times. Geng Qiu said happily.
"Great." The third aunt recited a few words of Buddha and wiped her tears happily. The last time Ah Hao fell ill, it frightened them.
"This is medicine and needles, is the silver enough?" The third uncle asked.
"It's fine. Don't worry about this. Geng Qiu said.
Because this time they directly paid two hundred taels of silver tickets, they should have bought his words. Of course, according to Ah Hao, the book he wrote down must be worth more than two hundred taels. But the Zhou Mansion also asked Dr. Li to help him treat his illness. From this point of view, it is also worthy of them. So, they have to thank people.
Although Dr. Li took action to treat the disease, it also depends on Dr. Li's own mood. I heard that Dr. Li has a strange temper, and some patients begged to come to the door, but he would not agree to the treatment lightly, and it was Ah Hao and his eyes that made him take action.
Even Master Zhou was taken aback when he heard that Dr. Li had treated Ah Hao, and sighed: "This person is really lucky." It's so light, you have to be treated by Dr. Li. โ
"But no, the old slave is still ready to show this worthless old face, and then take the face of the old man to beg him. Unexpectedly, he agreed without saying anything. Steward Zhou smiled.
Dr. Li lived in Zhou's house for a period of time and didn't like to interact with people very much. Occasional pastime activities are to pull Steward Zhou to chat, drink tea, and usually love some fresh food. That's why Steward Zhou dared to let Xiao Gui invite him, because he thought that Dr. Li would take a fancy to the fact that he usually did his best to accompany him, and he would come to see what happened. Unexpectedly, it was also Ah Hao's luck that Dr. Li was very interested when he heard about such a condition.
"Lao Zhou, how have you seen Mother Ju behave in the past few years? Has there been any growth? Master Zhou asked again.
"In the name of the master, Mother Ju took two hundred taels, which is about the same. But Ah Hao was treated by Dr. Li because of the Zhou Mansion, so they still made money. Steward Zhou replied cautiously.
In fact, he still doesn't agree with Mother Ju's ability to do things. Although the master of Yi is smart, he no longer wants to trust the people of the Zhou Mansion because of that thing. So the most powerful thing around him is Mother Ju, who knows that Mother Ju is not thoughtful enough, and he also lets it go. After all, he just stayed in this mansion and didn't go out, and he usually didn't have anything to do. The old man didn't know. Now it seems that I can't bear it anymore.
"That's right, but Ah Yi is the only mother Ju by her side, and Mother Ju has a narrower vision after all. I don't blame him, it's because I'm sorry for them, causing them to suffer too much. Master Zhou sighed.
Steward Zhou didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to point fingers at the master's family affairs. It's just that I just gave two hundred taels of silver tickets, which is indeed a bit inappropriate, how much should I add some gifts, anyway, there is no shortage of Zhoufu, although people are poor, what they need most is silver, but gift-giving is also a science, more is not good, less is not good, only silver money is not good. Mother Ju is indeed a little worse, but the master's side is the one who trusts Mother Ju the most.
"You first envelop these two people, there are too few people around Ah Yi who have to use them. If these two people have to use it, they can also help Ah Yi run errands outside in the future. You choose a few more people to โกโก first, and after the child is born, it is indispensable to use it. In the future, they have to start buying some properties for their mother and son. Master Zhou said again.
"Yes, master, the old slave will do it with his heart." Steward Zhou got the master's order, and he sighed in his heart. Over the years, the master has been a little dissatisfied with the master, the master is angry, and in the past ten years, he has never had a word of care for the master, just like being a stranger.
Although the old man had pity for him, he couldn't stand him from being too indifferent. If it weren't for the body this time, the relationship between the two would not be much better. Otherwise, over the years, the master would not have failed to plan for his master. This time, I finally brought up these things. Steward Zhou was secretly happy in his heart, he also hoped that the master and the master could be harmonious and beautiful, the one in the capital would not be able to live in harmony with the master.
Over the years, he has also seen through it. Therefore, he would rather stay here and take care of his master's life. Steward Zhou is one of the most useful people around Master Zhou, and Steward Zhou's father has always followed Master Zhou's long-term followers before. He knows the master's family affairs very well, but as a subordinate, many things are not easy to say.
Master Zhou can't stay here for a few days. The next day, early in the morning, left. Steward Zhou was busy and began to choose the next person, because the master of the ceremony was quiet, and there were not many people in this courtyard, so he had to go outside to buy some people to come over. On top of that, there is a lack of people to take care of the baby, and there are nurses who are not ready.
It is not easy for the master of Yi to conceive this fetus, and he doesn't worry about anything himself, just cares about the fetus. Ju's mother made a mess of many things, but she didn't dare to let her master know, for fear of affecting his pregnancy. Although Steward Zhou helped a lot in private, he couldn't improve Mother Ju's ability to do things much. This time, the master made up his mind to help the master.
Not to mention that Steward Zhou was busy โกโก people, Geng Qiu said a little worriedly: "Although this Dr. Li doesn't charge a consultation fee, people have bothered to help you treat your illness, we don't have any money, so we have to take out some new things to thank others." โ
"Didn't Steward Zhou say that he likes fresh fruits and vegetables the most, where to find them this season." Ah Hao asked rhetorically.
It had already started to snow yesterday, but after a night's work, a thin layer had accumulated, and everyone was in the house and did not go out. The men in the village will do some manual work, such as weaving some bamboo utensils, and the good craftsmanship is the bamboo family, but other families will at least weave a few bamboo baskets, and the bamboo baskets will be used by themselves. These things are all consumables, and over the course of a year, every family will use some rotten, and the ones with poor craftsmanship will deteriorate faster. Therefore, when they are free, the men have to weave some bamboo utensils and even rub some straw ropes, anyway, there are few people who are idle and have nothing to do. The women have to be idle, they have to make the clothes, shoes and socks of the family, and the women are good, and they have to do some embroidery work and take it to the market town to exchange some silver.
The third uncle is also rubbing the straw rope, this rope can be used for many purposes, bundle firewood and grass, and it is more needed when harvesting crops. Hearing Geng Qiu and A Hao's words, he said with a smile: "Speaking of fresh fruits and vegetables, at this time, only in the warm room can you grow some." It's just that this greenhouse costs a lot, and the previous general's mansion has not been built. I heard that there are a few princes' families. โ
Isn't this an out-of-season vegetable, in modern times, even in winter, you can still eat watermelon. It is because of the greenhouse planting technology. Unexpectedly, this ancient time actually had this kind of technology early, although it was not popular, but it is not completely unheard of. Geng Qiu said with a smile: "Let's build a greenhouse by ourselves and try to grow some vegetables, anyway, we have to go to Zhoufu to see Dr. Li for a doctor in winter." When the food grows, I'll give it to them. โ
Geng Qiu has seen a lot of greenhouses, as far as their hometown, the vegetable garden planted by their grandparents themselves, is also a little bit, not more than the kind of completely relying on greenhouses to make money, they are completely planted for their own food, every household will build a small shed, that is, the bamboo is bent into a bow and inserted into the ground, covered with a layer of plastic film, and then covered with a layer of straw.
This simple greenhouse is just as useful. Sowing seeds inside, the temperature inside will be much higher, such as water spinach, in early spring, it is planted like this, and when the vegetable seedlings are unearthed a finger length, you can remove the film and let it grow freely. The water spinach grown in this way can be harvested at least half a month earlier than those planted directly on the open ground. Even the peppers and eggplants that the farmers eat themselves are mostly grown in this way. Some do not plant the seedlings in the greenhouse by themselves, but directly buy the seedlings from other people's special greenhouses, and then โกโก them in their own fields and grow slowly. Vegetables grown in this way are harvested earlier than those sown directly in the open air.
"Aqiu will build a greenhouse?" The third uncle was shocked. This is a very remarkable thing, and there are only a few families in the capital who have it, and they all got it from the Imperial Palace. Even if it is a duke and marquis's house, there are very few people who make it.
"It's not too difficult, try it first. Let's get it in our yard, go to the front and dig some mud and come back, sort out a small piece of land, and if you try it well, you can go to the open space behind the yard to get a big one. Geng Qiu calculated.
"Great. Do it now. Not to mention that the third uncle was surprised, even Ah Hao was excited.
"Okay, just move. Go dig in the mud first. Geng Qiu was also very excited. If the vegetables in this greenhouse can be planted well, the vegetables this winter will be more than cabbage and radish. And maybe you can make money with this in the future.
Geng Qiu, the third uncle, and Ah Hao went to the swamp to dig the mud, the mud over there was very fat, and they sorted it out in the yard, and spread the fat mud they dug back with several layers, and it took four days to make a fertile field of about 30 square meters. He also made a bamboo hut about half a meter high and covered it with a thick straw curtain.
Greenhouse vegetables are not uncommon, even in this small mountain village, everyone took a thick grass curtain and spread it on the cabbage radish to block the wind and snow. This kind of is actually the most simple and primitive greenhouse. It's just the simplest equipment for keeping these cabbage radishes warm and anti-freezing. When the wind and snow are heavy, the snow will bury all these grass curtains, and when you want to eat vegetables, you can shovel the snow on the top, open the grass curtains, and you can eat the cabbage and radish below. It's much fresher than what you can be in the cellar. And it lasts longer. It's not the coldest place, and the ground won't freeze so much that you can't dig it. Like the capital, most people have to eat the cabbage and radish in the cellar, because the winter is too cold, the ground is all frozen, this simple way of anti-freezing, does not have much effect.
