In the back garden of Yangcheng Mansion in recent days, there has been a tinkling sound, making passers-by extremely curious and not knowing what is going on inside.

Since Qi Jing and Yu Long led people to repel the 100,000 Xidi army, in Yangcheng, among the people of Suzhou, the prestige has become extremely high, I don't know how many people have offered them immortal tablets, and the work of the two people has been much better.

When Yu Long reorganized the army, it was much easier than before, and it didn't take long to train some henchmen, Qi Jing also figured out the officials and officials in the entire government office, and they were all familiar with a lot, naturally, and also promoted a few officials who were sincere and capable, and for a while, they could be called the same in the government office.

Even there were some stubborn officials from local origins, and Qi Jing did not kill them all, but lured them to their advantage, using their familiarity with the local terrain and the people to do something.

Qi Jing and Yu Long were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and Yun Yao and Qi Baohua, the two pregnant women, were not idle.

Although they are pregnant, the two of them see that their father-in-law is so busy, so they want to be able to help.

Therefore, both of them couldn't care about the discomfort after pregnancy, and began to toss in the backyard of the government.

Now it's spring, it's impossible to make wine or something like that, and it's a little inconvenient to make zuò beef jerky and the like without that raw material, and spring is the season of reproduction, and the herders are very important to cattle and sheep at this time, and they are not willing to let people kill them at will.

After thinking about it, the two of them focused on two things, one was to shear wool and spin thread, and the other was to find some fruits hidden in the freezers of large families to roast dried fruits.

Although they are busy, in the end, both of them are double, and small things can be done by themselves, but heavy work is not possible. Yun Yao and Qi Bao called some rough envoys in their respective houses to come over to do the work.

On this day, Yun Yao got the tools for spinning wool, and asked someone to shear a lot of wool over, and tried it with Qi Bao bottle, and sure enough, it could be spun into threads, and the thickness of these threads could be transferred at will, holding soft and elastic wool, both of them were very happy.

Now that the thread is spun. It's a small thing to weave blankets and clothes.

Yun Yao went to think about the loom. Qi Baohua took the drawings of the oven drawn by Yun Yao and led people to clean up a room in the back garden and specially built a small oven.

Now listening to the jingling sound, it is Qi Bao Vase leading people to build the oven.

Finally, the oven did it. Qi Bao found a large iron plate that had been made, coated a layer of vegetable oil on the bottom of the plate, placed the cut fruits one by one, and then began to roast them in the oven.

Because I don't know when to bake. Qi Bao vase also needs to do various experiments, and the first plate is baked for too short a time. There is still water in the dried fruit, which is not easy to store for a long time, which is not possible.

The second time it was too long, and the dried fruits were all mushy. If it tastes bitter, it doesn't have the original taste of the fruit at all, and it is also vetoed.

After doing this several times, Qi Bao Vase finally got the time right. She baked several plates of dried fruit in quick succession, timing them accurately. The dried fruit that comes out of each roast is almost the same, and this should be done.

Qi Baohua happily distributed the roasted dried fruits to the subordinates who came to help, and the rest were distributed to Yun Yao, and she put the rest in a bag to take home for Yu Long to taste.

Yun Yao is naturally better solved here, she is a master of equipment, and those extremely sophisticated instruments in the interstellar era can be made, not to mention just a small textile machine.

Within a few days, Yun Yao made a machine for weaving blankets, and in addition, she also made a machine for knitting sweaters.

The weaving of the blanket is simple, this blanket is nothing more than the same weaving of the warp and weft, or some jacquard patterns, or twill, hollow lines, etc., is not simple, if you want to make that more complex, such as a picture with aura, then it is not the machine qì can do, you need to find some good embroidery or skillful women, brainstorming, everyone to come up with a lot of hand-weaving methods.

As for the machine of knitting sweaters and pants, it is a bit complicated, but it is also extremely simple for Yun Yao.

The upper part of the machine is equipped with various colors of wool, the middle is some delicate organs, and the bottom is a foot pedal, when the weaver loads the wool and then steps on the foot pedal, those mechanisms begin to operate, weaving all kinds of wool into clothes.

Naturally, a solid sweater is very easy to weave, but to weave a flower shape, you need the skill of a weaver.

The machines made by Yun Yao are very easy to operate, she found a few clever people from the family and taught them for more than half a day, most of them have learned, it took two days to be proficient, and in two days, these people can knit solid sweaters and pants, if they want to weave flowers, they have to practice well.

Yun Yao and Qi Bao have been busy for many days, and now they are finally busy, and they are very happy, Yun Yao also specially asked the kitchen to clean up a good table on the table.

didn't call anyone else, just her and Xi Baohua, the two of them didn't dare to eat wine, they both took rose brine mixed with warm water to drink, and ate vegetables and drank mixed water, but they were quite leisurely.

After eating, the two rested for a while, and Qi Baohua returned home with the baked dried fruits, but Yun Yao put the knitted sweater and pants in the house, waiting for Qi Jing to come back and surprise him.

On this day, Qi Jing's affairs were busy, and he didn't go home until it was dark, Yun Yao was in a hurry, and sent someone to the front of the government to take a look, and the report only said that there was no rain in Suzhou this spring, and Qi Jing was afraid of drought this summer, so he convened officials to discuss the matter of digging wells and digging water kilns.

Yun Yao heard that this was the right matter, so she didn't dare to urge it, and waited until late at night before Qi Jing came back with a tired face.

As soon as Qi Jing entered the door, Yun Yao immediately asked the peony to prepare water and the peony to set the meal.

After a while, warm water was delivered, Yun Yao personally twisted a handkerchief for Qi Jing and handed it over, Qi Jing took it in his hand and wiped his hands and face, and drank half a cup of warm tea before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Yao saw that Qi Jing's increasingly thin face came from Suzhou, and she was distressed for a while, and couldn't help complaining: "We don't know how many years we have to stay in Suzhou, we always have some time to rectify, and we are not in a hurry at this time, you don't want to do everything, and in the end you will be tired of yourself." ”

She lowered her head and touched her stomach: "The child and I have to rely on you, if you are tired, what will we do in the future?" ”

Qi Jing sat at the table and forced a laugh: "I don't know this truth, it's just ...... You don't see how difficult the people outside are, they all say that the Great Zhou Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous, and the people are rich, but that is Chang'an, Guanzhong, the people of Suzhou...... Alas, the previous day I went out of the city on the road to Yulong, and walked to a village to look for water to drink, but I saw that the people there were unkempt, unclothed and decent, and the most poignant thing was that some families only had one set of clothes, and the men in the family wore them out to entertain guests, and the women had no clothes to wear, so they could only hide in the back room and did not dare to show their heads. ”

Qi Jing hugged Yun Yao as he spoke: "When we were in Zhenting Mansion, although the life of the people there was not as good as Chang'an, but no one was so poor, if it was said that the people of Suzhou were lazy and lived like this, it would be okay, but these people were brave and hardworking, but they had no food to eat, no clothes to wear, my parents and officials felt uncomfortable every time they thought about it, if they didn't help the people live their lives, I felt ashamed of the people of Suzhou." ”

Speaking of this, Qi Jing is extremely emotional, he has always been a calm and strong character, but when he mentioned that the people of Suzhou had a lot of hardships, his eyes were red.

Yun Yao couldn't understand Qi Jing's feelings for the country and the people, but she had always loved Qi Jing, and when she saw him so sad, she was also sad, and her eyes were red and she persuaded: "I know that you are dedicated to the country, and you are very responsible for things, and you want to be perfect in everything you do, but no one in this world is perfect, nothing is perfect, no one can do things to the point of absolute perfection, you don't force it, besides, you have to eat a bite of food, and the road must be walked step by step. ”

The party said, Yun Yao and his party hugged Qi Jing's neck and whispered softly: "Besides, you don't have to take care of the country and the people, but also take care of our small family, you have a wife and children in the high hall, and many sisters rely on you to support you, you also have to think about it for us." ”

Yun Yao's words were reasonable, and Qi Jing nodded when he heard it: "It's not mine, don't worry, lady, I'll pay attention to it in the future." ”

"I don't have to ask you to take care of your small family and ignore everyone, I just tell you to take it easy." Yun Yao smiled and picked up chopsticks to prepare vegetables for Qi Jing.

waited until Qi Jing finished eating, Yun Yao smiled and pulled him into the back room, took out the knitted sweater and pants from the bedside cabinet for Qi Jing to see, and took out the dried fruits baked in Qi Baohua for him to taste.

"Your fathers are busy with their feet not touching the ground, and we women don't understand these things about people's livelihood, military and politics, but we can do what we can to help you, you taste the dried fruits baked by the sixth sister, and then look at the clothes and blankets I brought people to weave."

Qi Jing was extremely surprised to look at the soft, light and close-fitting clothes, took off the clothes on the spot, put the sweater and pants on his body and tried it on, he put on his clothes and raised his hands and legs to squat, did many movements, and his face was full of joy after trying: "This dress is good, not only warm, but also comfortable to wear, no matter how you exercise, it is extremely close to obedience, good, really good, I just don't know how much it costs?" ”

Yun Yao didn't answer him, only told him to taste the dried fruit quickly.

Qi Jing tried a few kinds of dried fruits and nodded one after another: "Dried fruits are good, although they are roasted, but the slices are very thin and baked, but they are extremely crisp and refreshing, not only can they be used as snacks by men, women and children in winter, but it is also convenient for travelers to carry on the road, especially for businessmen who go south and north, and prepare some dried fruits that are not only durable, but also taste better than other things, and they are indeed convenient and delicious, and they will not be able to sell all over the Great Zhou in the future." ”

Yun Yao smiled when she heard his praise: "You said that it must be good, and when it is changed, the sixth sister and I will think about the method of steaming and filling the fruit, the sixth sister likes cooking the most on weekdays, and she must have more ways than me." ”

Qi Jing jumped in a sweater, ate some dried fruits, and laughed more and more, this sweater and dried fruits look like a small road, but Qi Jing is not a rotten Confucian, he also did business for the livelihood of his family in the early years, and naturally saw huge benefits from it, which can change the interests of Suzhou.

It's just that he still told Yun Yao to be careful, telling her and Qi Baohua to be careful, and only use two people to move their mouths during the trial production, but don't move things or anything like that. (To be continued.) )
