First drought

Ye Qiu used an appropriate amount of japonica rice, glutinous rice, and well water to mash it in a stone mortar and glue it together to form a verdant rice ball. Then knead it into small pieces, put it in a steamer and steam it, and then make ramie glutinous cake.

Eating fragrant and delicious, there are some sticky teeth, "delicious." Ye Qiu looked at Chu Ying's appearance of feasting and smiled silently, "You can't eat more, you will be sluggish if you eat too much." ”

By the time all the ramie seeds in this ramie field were peeled, it had taken more than ten days, and they continued to do business like paper, but Ye Qiu said that the speed of peeling hemp was already very fast.

Looking at the already yellowed ramie skin on the shelf, waiting for some to dry and can be used to make paper, Lu Ming's side has also slowly improved, but it is only a few dozen yuan a day, Chu Ying asked Lu Ming to calculate, and it will be good to get it together when the time comes.

The leftover ramie stems and leaves are spread in the wheat field to return nutrients to the land, and also reduce the germination rate of grass, because these stems and leaves cover the ground to block the sun, without the moisture of the sun, the weeds in the ground will grow more slowly, and can be saved in the autumn ploughing.

"Sister Chu, I heard that Qiyuan said that you want firewood, and you still need it every day, what kind of business are you doing? Brick or porcelain? Chu Ying and Ye Qiu were thrashing wheat in Uncle Qi's newly built greenhouse, and asked Uncle Qi to make two new Tsubaki that were the same as before, so that Chu Ying and Ye Qiu could chatter while doing their work.

"It's nothing, it's just a paper business."

"Making paper? Do you know how to make paper? It seems that I underestimated you. Bai Yuhe looked around at these new guys, and they looked good, but there was no paper curtain from other paper mills, but he made a big brush, and he didn't know what Chu Ying was doing.

"What is Sister-in-law Wang doing here? Do you want to help with farm work? If you have something, you say, we must go, and we will go when we get it here. Chu Ying sat on a specially made high stool, looking at Bai Yuhe, who had been dangling for a long time, and didn't know what she was doing.

"No, I'm just here to ask you how to sell this rabbit, thinking that I will raise one or two at home, and see how fast your rabbit is born, I already have a litter in just a few days." Bai Yuhe grabbed a little white rabbit and touched it up and down.

"No, you can take two of them if you like, boil the water you drink, don't have any dirt on the fodder you feed, just clean up more."

Ye Qiu tilted his head and whispered to Chu Ying's ear: "There are only a few pure white ones, you can't let her hold them, this pure white rabbit skin is valuable." “

Chu Ying chuckled, "It's okay." It's going to be raw when the time comes. "This rabbit has a very strong reproductive ability, if it weren't for Chu Ying asking Ye Qiu to separate the rabbit that gave birth to cubs from the male rabbit, this female rabbit would have been born like this.

"Then how can it be done, how much silver does it cost to get 5 little white rabbits like this?"

Chu Ying smoothed Ye Qiu's back, these little white rabbits Ye Qiu is baby, this damn look at the little cub is about to be taken away, and it is very uncomfortable.

"No, you can take it." If it was Wang Yuyuan, Chu Ying would definitely send it to Wang Yuyuan without saying a word, but this white jade lotus Chu Ying felt a little awkward.

"If you want it, I see that the market is all 0 penny, let the garden send you silver when the time comes...... No need to send it. Chu Ying looked at Ye Qiu who was sulking with her mouth pursed, on weekdays she was like an old woman who had read all the things, but today she looked at the appearance of some little women.

"If you take it, you'll be born, it's a big deal, I'll catch a few more, and I'll make you angry." Chu Ying didn't know how to coax people, so she made a grimace and smiled.

"Okay, okay, the skin is going to be broken by you, hurry up and rub your face, what can I be angry about, it's not mine, I'm just a grass feeder, you don't mind, what kind of heart do I have." Ye Qiu gently wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve.

"Still crying, really crying as a cat." Chu Ying shook her head in disgust and walked away, although this summer day is not as hot as the modern urban concrete forest, it is still strange and uncomfortable, Chu Ying gulped a bowl of lotus leaf herbal tea.

Even the fish in the pond next to it are sinking under the water and don't move much, and I don't know how hot it will be in the summer.

"It seems to be very hot this summer, and the next time I go to the city, I will prepare more mung beans to come back, and when will I take those wheat into the city to exchange some rice, and then I will go when the weather is cool." Chu Ying nodded and continued to drink water, this day was hot and people were wrinkled, and her face, which was not white, was now about to turn into bark.

However, in the next few days, I didn't meet the cool days that Ye Qiu said, it hadn't rained for almost a month, and I heard Aunt Wang say that the threshold of the newly built mountain temple had been stepped on for a section, and they all went to ask the mountain god for rain.

Chu Ying was a little groggy every day, and she had to drink medicine to get better, waiting to make those sun-dried ramie skins into paper Chu Ying had to tell Lu Ming that she was going to take a high temperature vacation, even if she was working in the house, she couldn't stand it, let alone the stove.

In addition, the amount of work done these days has gradually increased, and Lu Ming's side can't sell so much for a while, so he asked Grandpa Li to send the whole vehicle when he is free. Even Grandpa Li drove the ox cart in the morning and at night, and he didn't drive on the road during the day, for fear that the cows would lie down.

"Drink the medicine quickly, I'll cut the paper." No matter how hot you are at night, you have to cover something on your stomach, and look at the way you squirm at night, like an earthworm that has been watered. ”

Taking the medicine handed by Ye Qiu, Chu Ying blew it for a long time before drinking it, afraid that the medicine drunk while it was hot was like a fire burning in his throat.

"It's really strange on this day, it wasn't like this in previous years, the water in the pond has dropped by a foot, and some fish will have to be caught and dried at that time, if you don't do it like this, the fish won't survive."

Chu Ying climbed to the attic and looked at the food, these are enough for herself and Ye Qiu to eat until the beginning of spring next year, after all, there are only two girls, no matter how much they eat, they can't eat much, but Wang Yuyuan's family is different, these days I see that Brother Wang is always getting up early and greedy for darkness.

Fortunately, Chu Ying grows wheat, which is more drought-tolerant, and it is harvested in summer and planted in autumn.

Chu Ying moved all the fungi in the grove to the shade and covered them with thick pine needles, this rotten wood that was finally moved back can't just be dried in the sun, no matter whether it will get hotter and drier in the future, Chu Ying has to be prepared with both hands.

During the day, he would lie in the house and take a nap, waiting for the day to be a little brighter and almost evening before starting to make paper, which would be a little cooler, originally Chu Ying still felt that it was too luxurious to dig such a big pool to water the crops, but now he feels that it is quite good to have such a pool to store water, at least in addition to the water for eating and drinking, other laundry and the like can use the water in this pond. Waiting for tomorrow morning when it is a little cooler, Chu Ying has to buy two big water tanks to fill clean water, even if it rains in the future, these water tanks can also be used for soaking hemp. "What's wrong with you? Anxious like ants on a hot pot, don't stop to rest, rest assured, it will rain in another half a month, look at your fuss. "Really? It's going to rain in half a month? "It's been like this in previous years, but it's a little hotter this year, and that's what Aunt Wang said last time, don't worry too much, go to sleep first, you see you're sweating on your back, go in and cool off."
