Chu Ying woke up and saw that the snow outside had melted, but it was still very cold when the wind blew, Chu Ying washed up and put on her clothes, and took out the wooden box she made under the bed, although it was only tied up with strips of cloth, it was still quite easy to use, Chu Ying had to go into the city to buy a lock, or it would be too easy to find no matter how she hid the four walls of the house here, and when the weather was warmer, she had to put a fence around the outside of the yard, and she had to look at her illness quickly, so she couldn't delay.

Chu Ying used yesterday's stone plate to make a few more pancakes and wrapped them in linen cloth to cool them first, then took a piece of bamboo from the reed house, cut a section of bamboo, separated the bamboo joints at two-thirds of the way, cut off a small point along the edge of the cup, and covered the cup with a little tight, Chu Ying cut it with a knife until the strength of the lid was more appropriate, looked at the sky outside, filled the bamboo cup with water and then wrapped it in a cloth and put it in the back basket, and used a branch against the back basket to make the bamboo cup stand.

When she is free, Chu Ying wants to sew a long pocket outside the back basket that can be used to put bamboo cups, Chu Ying has a bowl at home and doesn't need a cup much, but there is no free tea outside when she goes out, and she is shy in her pocket, so she looks at the sugar water and tea shop every time and leaves.

Chu Ying brought 2 taels of silver, this time the biggest expense is to see a doctor, Chu Ying covered the copper plate in the back basket with a linen cloth, and then put two bundles of dried bamboo shoots on it as a cover, and after they were ready, Chu Ying closed the door and went to the village entrance to take an ox cart.

"Are these bamboo shoots going to be sold? I'm afraid that I won't be able to sell it at a good price, and it may not be worth the car price. Chu Ying said by this lady is more agreeable, why is it honestly said in the history books that ancient times were self-sufficient, because all the qiē in ancient times could be grown and brewed by themselves, and only salt and iron were controlled by the imperial court.

"Try your luck." When Chu Ying arrived in the city, she went straight to the pharmacy and waited in line for a while before it was her turn to face the doctor.

The old man who was seeing the doctor looked at his tongue, checked his pulse, and looked at Chu Ying's face carefully, "Is it a cold sweat?" Does the joints of the limbs hurt? Are your hands and feet cold? Has it always been this way or has it been like this recently? ”

Chu Ying's head nodded like a rattle, "It's always been like this." ”

"You are the cold brought by your mother's womb, yang deficiency, cold and dampness, your mother is like this, right? Enough money? The old man dipped the brush in ink and looked up and asked Chu Ying.

Chu Ying didn't know if her mother was also so weak, "The money is not enough." ”

"Then use Codonopsis first, and then take other medicines, be more active, and eat warm things. Eat some dog meat, lamb, fish, shrimp and leeks. Eat less of the other cold ones. Chu Ying remembered that she really shouldn't have eaten so many cattails before, no wonder she always had weakness in her limbs and backache, and she thought it was because she moved things, but in fact, her body was weak, and it was really not easy for her to grit her teeth and continue to work every day.

"Okay." When Chu Ying went to the counter to check out, she looked at the 2 taels of silver on it, the whole person was not good, she really couldn't afford to be sick, she couldn't afford to be sick, so she had to go bankrupt if she looked at it like this.

"This is half a month's amount, put it in a cool, ventilated and dry place, and fry it in three bowls of water into one bowl." Chu Ying couldn't bear to take out the copper coin and put the medicine in. Fortunately, my grandmother gave me some money, otherwise I really couldn't afford to eat.

Chu Ying went to Qin Zhong to get some silver money, because there was still silver money at home, so she only took 2 money. "What's wrong? What's sick? Qin Zhong took 2 money and gave it to Chu Ying.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm weak. How do you grow hemp last time? Chu Ying looked at the various seeds in the store.

"If you want to grow hemp, you can grow ramie, and the income is several times higher than that of growing hemp. After planting the roots themselves, once and for all.

"Plant in March and April, use sand and thin soil for the best, first plant in the garden, hoe the ground several times and then make a furrow, about half a step wide and four steps long, with your feet to step on solid." Qin Zhong looked at Chu Ying writing on the paper with words that he couldn't understand, and some of them looked familiar.

Who learned this word? I didn't write it all. ”

"It's okay, I understand, you can say it." Chu Ying tried her best to write the words with a brush, but she had never practiced the brush with a knife and a gun, so it was good to be able to understand the writing anyway, and it was more intuitive to draw in a few places.

Qin Zhong looked at the vegetable furrow drawn by Chu Ying, and felt that this child was really cute. "Watering on the second day, rake the soil flat on the third day, take half a liter of seeds from the wet soil, mix well and sprinkle evenly, a seed plant about 7 furrows, do not cover the soil after sprinkling, cover the soil will not emerge seedlings, and use fine branches to level the soil."

Chu Ying sat on Qin Zhong's seat, looking at Qin Zhong walking around, and she sat obediently like a schoolchild writing silently.

"If it is good, make a shed covered with white linen, cover some straw in May and June, can not dry the seedlings, remove the shed in the morning and evening every day in a cloudy day, and the seedlings can emerge after ten days, and pull out the grass when there is grass, and the seedlings can be removed from the shed with three fingers high, and water lightly with small water."

"3 inches long can be transplanted, choose more fertile land, every four inches to plant a family, often loosen the soil and weed, three or five days to water once, so that after watering 20 days, you can water once in ten days and half a month. After October, cover with cow and horse manure one foot thick, prepare for wintering, and use a rake to rake it in early February of the following year. Qin Zhong looked at Chu Ying's serious appearance and felt that this kid was very diligent, but looking at her scribbled words, he really didn't know if he should continue to speak.

"In the first year, when it grows to a foot high, you have to cut a sickle, and this sickle cannot be used, but the one that grows later can be used. 3 sickles are harvested every year, generally in early May, half in June, and half in August. Got it? Chu Ying folded the paper on the table and put it inside her clothes.

"I understand, if I don't understand, I'll ask you again. Help me weigh 2 acres of seeds, and the money will be deducted from it. Chu Ying put the seeds away, put the basket on his back, thanked Qin Zhong, and dared to go to the West Market to see the lock.

Chu Ying, who was hungry on the road, took out the cake she made and ate it. Most of the locks here are relatively simple, and Chu Ying didn't know how to choose, so she picked a lock that looked very complicated and tattered, and the price was relatively cost-effective, only 60 Wen, which was uglier than the new 1 coin copper lock next to it.

"Little baby, how can there be a reason to buy an old lock, isn't this new one very good?"

"No need for my aunt, I don't have any money at home, it's just for locking it up." Chu Ying didn't plan to buy the brand-new copper lock, this lock is expensive at first glance, how much money does the person with this lock have to have in his house, isn't that a reminder that the thief is coming to my house, there is no doorman in his house, and there is no fence, so he can't be too eye-catching.

Chu Ying bought another wooden basin and a wooden bucket, the wooden basin used for bathing contained too little water, and she couldn't wash it herself, so she could wash it for a longer time if she changed the wooden bucket. There is no wooden basin for washing vegetables at home, and I wash it myself in a bucket.

After buying some more salt, Chu Ying went to the East Market to see what was sold, and he didn't know if his pancakes would have a market, his pancakes were too easy to imitate, and he didn't have the financial resources to make a copper or iron disc, so he could only use stone, and the stone was heated slowly and the heat dissipation was slow, so it was not suitable for a large number of fast food preparations.
