Chapter 122: Becoming Famous

Sichuan pepper trance remembers that in addition to edible and brewed glutinous rice, it seems that there is a lot to be done in architecture. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It is said that the Ming City Wall of Nanjing was built with glutinous rice juice.

It is said that Taizu also personally supervised the construction of the city of Nanjing, and it was strictly abnormal. Once it was found that the bricks contained dirt impurities and were not pure white, the workers who built the city would be built into the city walls, relying on such cruel methods to ensure the quality of the city bricks.

I have also heard that the ancients also used a large amount of glutinous rice, mixed with lime and other substances, and coated them layer by layer around the coffin, especially to thicken the top, so that the tomb can isolate the air, impermeable and uncrackable.

But in the end, the above is just hearsay, and peppercorns do not distinguish between true and false.

But she once visited the Hakka walled houses, and it is said that the sanhe soil used to build the thick walls was made of lime, loess and glutinous rice juice. There is also a room in the enclosure that even has boiled glutinous rice juice on the inner wall, and the paste is layer after layer, a foot thick. It is said that in this way, if the enclosed house is besieged by bandits and foreign enemies, the people in the enclosed house can last for up to three years as long as they knock down the dry glutinous rice pieces on the wall and fill their hunger with well water.

Sichuan pepper doesn't understand the principle of this, but it has always felt very magical.

After coming here and knowing that their cellar was also made of glutinous rice juice, this magical feeling became even stronger.

So when Qin Lianxiong specially bought a big iron pot and boiled glutinous rice porridge directly on the construction site in the east, he smelled the rich fragrance, and the pepper couldn't move.

Naturally, it's not because of gluttony.

When the Taiban villagers of Zhoujiawan and Funnel Bay heard that the Qin family not only wanted to pour the wall on the wasteland in the east, but also use glutinous rice to cook porridge to pour it, they all left their work to see it as rare.

There are also older generations who have heard their fathers and grandparents mention it when they build walls and pave the ground with glutinous rice pulp, but this is the first time they have seen it with their own eyes. For ordinary people, brick walls are already rare, and building walls with grain is something that some people can't even imagine.

Not to mention the children, many adults followed behind Father Qin, all wanting to see how to build this glutinous rice wall.

Naturally, some people gritted their teeth behind their backs and muttered that the Qin family would waste food if they had two stinky money. Such good new rice, and porridge made with so much firewood, could not be eaten, and was used to build a wall. Master Lei appeared like that, why didn't he beat this evildoer.

Such gossip naturally couldn't reach Father Qin's ears, but the woman who had her own kitchen assistant secretly told Father Qin's mother.

It's just a few sour words, which naturally can't mess up Qin Lao Niang's heart. The old man didn't think it was too expensive, but he just thought it was too public.

Daddy Qin didn't care, but the wall was just a wall, it had to be built like this sooner or later, and it would be better to rework it in the future, so it was better to stabilize it step by step now.

Explain it carefully to Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Qin secretly bowed her head. Thinking of the plans that her husband and son inadvertently revealed, I also felt that it was just a wall, and it was really nothing.

The Qin family is stable one by one, but in the eyes of others, the wall is just like a house, and it is like a house to lay a foundation. And the wall that can't be built for a whole day is always one zhang high and three feet wide, is this a wall or a city wall?

Say anything.

For this matter, Xiao Yao's family specially rushed over from Hengxi and pulled Yao's to ask: "Is the family going to open an oil mill?" ”

"What?" Yao Shi was confused.

Xiao Yao frowned and explained, Yao reacted at this time, but he couldn't laugh or cry: "This is what you said!" What kind of oil mill to open, who will squeeze oil in our family! ”

Xiao Yao frowned and didn't believe it: "Really don't you want to open an oil mill?" ”

Yao glared at her: "What kind of workshop to open, don't hear that the wind is rain." ”

Xiao Yao said: "What did the uncle buy this wasteland for?" I also built such a tall and thick wall, and at first I heard that I didn't believe it, but how did I know that it was true. And he said, "It's not for the sake of farming!" ”

Isn't it just for farming?

Yao couldn't be entangled by her, and quietly told a few words to know, and Xiao Yao muttered after a while: "I'll just say, the lazy man is tired in the oil pressing room, okay, what kind of oil pressing room to open, I didn't expect it to be really for farming!" ”

The last sentence dragged on for a long time, just like singing a big opera, Yao really couldn't cry or laugh when he looked at her.

Xiao Yao smiled and told Yao: "My sister-in-law originally thought that she would come over before her daughter's day to ask for a date, but I heard that the family is so busy, and I am afraid of causing you trouble, so I am planning to postpone the date by two days!" ”

When Dill was set, in fact, the two families already had a tacit understanding on the wedding date, and they planned to arrange it in October this year. Invite in advance, or even invite three or five times, which is also to show respect for the woman's family.

As soon as Xiao Yao's front foot left, the three brothers of the Du family were rushed over by Du Lao Niang to help: "With such a big project in my in-laws' family, I don't think about taking a hand!" ”

The old and young of the Du family also said to the Du family: "Eldest sister, my mother is still scolding you at home, saying that you lack heart and eyes, and you don't know how to inform such a big thing." Uncle and aunt are embarrassed to trouble relatives, you should come forward. ”

Du snorted, and heard the boss of the Du family ask her quietly: "Eldest sister, my uncle-in-law got that land, but for the sake of Baiqin?" ”

Du Shi raised his eyebrows: "It's good that you know, but you are not allowed to say it with your mouth open!" ”

But apart from the close relatives, who can believe that the Qin family is making such a big move for the sake of farming.

I really have everything, Qin Lianbao, who is working in the framing shop every day (day), and Qin Lianlong, who is going to Chongtang every three or five days to sell pole scales, are also overwhelmed.

What's even more amazing is that since the wall at the east end was built, matchmakers began to come to Qin Lianfeng to be matchmakers. Qin Lianfeng didn't even go to the Dongtou construction site, and followed the Zhou family's cousins to work in the fields every day, just to avoid everyone making fun of him.

And when the restless shopkeeper Guo finally waited for a letter from the capital and rushed to the Qin family again, he had just left Chongtang and heard that the Qin family was going to open a paper fishing workshop.

It's a real fog.

It wasn't until I took the carriage all the way to Zhoujiawan that I lifted the curtain under the coachman's suggestion and saw the crowded construction site in the easternmost part of the country from afar. When the carriage approached, he saw clearly that a wall of about ten zhang had been built in front of him, and he came to his senses and couldn't help laughing.

Hearing the familiar voice, the pepper who ran to the yard saw that the carriage already knew that someone was coming, and breathed a sigh of relief, this old man finally came. hurriedly called out loudly, and dragged him home.

As soon as the clever Lilac saw someone coming, she went to report to Father Qin.

Hearing that the shopkeeper Guo was here, Father Qin, who was instructing the helpers to pour the wall, was not surprised, counting the days, it was indeed time to come, explained a few words to Qin Lianhu, and went home with Lilac.

Ding Xiang also knew how to blink her eyes and tell Father Qin: "Your face is good." ”

Father Qin laughed, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw that the shopkeeper Guo was talking and laughing with the red pepper fragrant leaves.

Hearing the footsteps, Shopkeeper Guo raised his head, and he was already laughing and took two steps to meet him, and said to Father Qin, "Brother Qin, your battle is big enough, I heard that you have eaten twenty acres of land in one breath this time." You give my brother a thorough explanation, but you plan to use it all to make celery? Saying that, without waiting for Father Qin to say anything, he couldn't wait to pat Father Qin's arm and said, "Brother Qin, your family's Qin Baiqin is famous in the capital!" (To be continued.) )
