The night was as cool as water.

After the night, Baoyu stiffened, as if she had slept in an ice cellar for the night. He had already changed the brocade satin quilt and added a layer of warm fur, if others slept in it, even if it was cold outside, they would still sleep comfortably.

But he is different, what Xiao Baoyu left him with was a rotten body, which looked beautiful, but in fact it was full of holes. The topaz-like skin, as well as the flesh fat, blood vessels, and meridians inside, seemed to be unable to block the cold, and when it cooled a little, it seemed to freeze into the bones.

Baoyu even felt that if it weren't for the burning seventy-three simmers, would he have frozen to death?

The attacker helped him to his feet, and this time, he did not refuse the attacker's service to him in terms of dressing, not that he could not be independent, but that his bones were stiff and moved slightly, as if the ice was about to break. He sighed, and the burning qi attracted the righteous qi to add to his body, and then he felt warmer.

He exercised slightly, and before he could breathe, he stopped. There is a charcoal basin burning in the house, who knows the effect of exercise, whether there is a great harm caused by the burning of the charcoal basin? He also understands one thing: this body is no longer a problem that can be solved by exercise, and it is necessary to recuperate.

[The exercise a few days ago, the body was a little worse. It seems that not only the muscles in the body have weakened, but even the internal organs, especially the stomach and intestines, have been devastated. 】

[Exercise can increase blood oxygen content, break muscle fibers, and then become stronger under the nourishment of nutrition, but Xiao Baoyu's digestive system only has a trace of life, and forced exercise cannot absorb nutrients at all. This is also the reason why many tonic medicines and medicinal diets in Rongguo Mansion cannot nourish his body. 】

[I just don't know, is it man-made, or accident?]

Baoyu pondered, picked up the blue porcelain concave flower cup brought by the attacker, and drank the tea inside. When the tea entered his abdomen, a fresh fragrance rushed up to his nose, making him feel much more energetic.

"Master!" the attacker exclaimed. Tea is Chi Yanxue back then, and it can be regarded as good tea in ordinary people's homes, but in Rongguo Mansion, in Bao Erye's room, it can only be used to gargle.

Baoyu smiled: "I haven't rinsed my mouth yet, so naturally I can drink it, even if I have rinsed it, it is my own in the end, and I haven't seen anyone think they are dirty." As he spoke, he picked up the willow branches that had been rubbed and then soaked in water, dipped them in some green salt particles, stuffed them in his mouth and brushed his teeth.

A stream of bitterness rushed into his taste buds, making his nose and eyes a mess, no way, if he didn't brush his teeth, he felt that there were worms in his mouth, and it was even more uncomfortable.

Qingwen smiled at him and said: "It's been ten years since you brushed your teeth, and you're still so uncomfortable, otherwise, on the day I leave the house, I will take the coarse salt that other people eat from outside, so that you can taste it?"

Baoyu thanked Bumin. Even if it's purified, it's poisonous.

The people of the Great Zhou Kingdom don't have a choice, they don't care, but who is he?

Baoyu shook her head and smiled, suddenly stunned. Green salt, coarse salt, isn't this money? Thinking about it again, he shook his head again, laughing at himself.

I think about it too much, this salt industry can also be done casually?

In the twenty-first century, all kinds of knowledge are widely disseminated, and he has seen some methods of refining coarse salt, which are simple and easy to do. However, such as salt, iron, and oil in later generations, all things that are indispensable to the people's livelihood must be in the hands of the state. There is still truth to be said in the 21st century, but in this Great Zhou Kingdom, once he controls the salt industry, no one will reason with him.

I'm afraid that the snow-white fine salt flowing out of his hands here will have a great power to suppress Jiafu. What to share, to give profits, what to give all the belongings, just to rely on a big tree...... It's funny, it doesn't matter.

Comparing his heart to his heart, if he is a certain power, he will naturally arrest, torture, kill, and even destroy the door. When children play with cannons, they are either looking for death or looking for death.

Before his own strength is insufficient, Baoyu is willing to be a quiet kitten and wait for the day when he will grow into a colorful tiger.

He pointed to the freshly repaired hole in the beautiful house, allowing Qingwen to dig it open. The bald man waiting outside the courtyard heard the movement and strode in, Wang Shanbao and other Qingwen destroyed the place that was broken and repaired yesterday, and bowed his head to talk to Baoyu.

"Master, I have prepared the big stove and bellows you want, but what's the use of these? ”

Baoyu smiled. He didn't want to play with open flames in the house, and it was not good to set himself on fire.

What he wants is a fire kang, and the fire kang uses the smoke from the stove to heat through the kang flue. The kang is composed of three parts: the stove, the kang body and the chimney, and the stove with the kang can be used for cooking, and the kang body can be used for heating, and can also sit and lie down. The principle is that smoke and fire pass through the flue space to heat up, as long as they are well isolated, there is no big problem.

It's very simple to do isolation, ordinary mud, plus a relatively flat slate. These things were all prepared yesterday and were placed in the courtyard.

He asked Wang Shanbao to carry the large stove, moved it to the vicinity of the open hole, made a support with two thick logs, pasted mud, pressed stone slabs, and made a flue connecting the house. The room needed a bracket similar to a bed, so simply use his moon cave door cover to shelve the bed. The two sides are pasted with mud, the bottom is lined with stone slabs, and the stone slabs are pressed on top, and wiped clean with a cloth, which is a good kang.

Then spread a thick layer of mattress to be comfortable.

His moon cave door cover shelf bed was made by Jia's mother, and it was very valuable. Qingwen saw that they were 'ruining' things, and she was so happy that she clapped her hands, and she couldn't wait to come up in person; she warmed the tea and laughed beside her, as long as Bao Er Ye liked it, then let him go; only Musk Yue, distressed, twitched.

Not to mention autumn patterns, it's dispensable.

She is also a clever person, knowing that she has ruined the likes of the second master, so she obediently hid in the house next to the small house. The little guys also ignored her, and watched the excitement under the leadership of Mingyan, Li Gui rushed a few times, and at first it was scattered, and then it simply did not move, taking advantage of Mingyan's momentum.

It stands to reason that Li Gui is Mama Li's son, Baoyu's brother, and his status is higher than Mingyan, but he can't bear that Mingyan is not afraid of heaven and earth, as long as Baoyu doesn't speak, he dares to fight with Li Gui.

According to Mingyan's words: Anyway, I fought more than once, I didn't win, he didn't lose.

The little guys are scrambling to taste the freshness, carrying firewood, lighting the fire, and the most eye-catching thing is the big bellows that are taller than them, all of which are stubborn.

In the end, he couldn't grab the cigarette, this monkey grabbed the handle of the bellows, inhaled, and made a louder sound than the bellows. He stood up and lunged, and with all his strength, he pulled the bellows like an inverted pestle.

The flames were blazing, and the red fire, accompanied by billowing black smoke, poured into the flue, passed through Baoyu's moon cave door cover shelf bed, and walked along the specially expanded 'warm sheets' on both sides of the wall, and came out from behind. When it comes out, the flames are gone, and the smoke is warm.

Baoyu only felt that the whole house was warm, especially the mattress on the top bunk of the fire kang, which was so hot that he burned his back, making him feel as if he was soaking in a hot spring, and there was no place that was uncomfortable, and there was no place that was inappropriate. He put his abdomen and stomach on the mattress, feeling more comfortable, and immediately shouted to the attacker, asking the attacker to throw the charcoal basin farther away, the farther away the better.

The attacker knew that he didn't like it, so he simply put out the charcoal fire and moved the bright golden charcoal basin to the boys' house.

Baoyu laughed and said, "They don't need to, take advantage of this time to let them make the flue in their own house." In the future, you don't have to be cold, you have to be warm. ”

The assailant shook his head and said, "That's not right. Master, you are talented, make such a warm thing, it stands to reason that I shouldn't have poured cold water on you, but the ancestors don't have it, so you have to get it for your subordinates and spread it out, for fear of hurting your literary name. ”

Baoyu patted her head. This week, there is a lot of red tape.

Thinking of Jia's mother's love for him, Baoyu also felt that it was inappropriate, so she went out immediately and called Wang Shanbao and Qingwen to come over and ask how many craftsmen there were in the house.

Qingwen and Musk Yue looked at each other, how could they care about this? Wang Shanbao made a wooden face and replied to him in a muffled voice: "There are 30 carpenters, 30 masons, 30 bricklayers and other types in the house, a total of 200 people. I wonder what craftsmen the master needs?"

"So much?"

"This is still a few, and the tenants outside also know some tricks, plus the fiefdom Zhuangzi raised, I am afraid that there are as many as 500 people. This is not counting the descendants of Ning Guofu. ”

Baoyu narrowed her eyes, too much, then it was not worth much.

He asked the attacker to come over, gave two orders, and then instructed Qingwen and Wang Shanbao in his ear. The attacker and Wang Shanbao nodded in response, only Na Qingwen exclaimed: "Don't do it, don't do it!" ”

Baoyu smiled: "I promise that no one will laugh at you, and there are benefits." ”

"Really?" Qingwen didn't believe it.

As soon as Baoyu wanted to explain, there was a report from Musk Yue outside the door, only to hear Musk Yue muttering in a soft voice similar to an attack: "Second Master Bao, Brother Lan is here." ”

Lan Ge'er is Jia Lan, Li Kun's son and nephew. Baoyu asked Musk Yue to invite someone in, and saw Jia Lan carrying a large bowl with a blue and white folded branch flower and fruit pattern, which was full of white and tender yellow soup.

Jia Lan is a five-year-old child, and the sea bowl is as big as his chest, and it will sway and fall at any moment.

Musk Moon followed behind him, trying to help him, but was stopped by Jia Lan on the shoulder.

"Second Uncle Bao. Jia Lan brought the sea bowl and shouted, "Mother, let me bring you flowers and white jade dew." My mother said, this is what I want to give to Uncle Bao, and I want to give it to myself. ”

Baoyu took the sea bowl over, his body was weak, I was afraid that he was not as good as Jia Lan, and he stumbled under his feet, if he hadn't attacked someone behind him, he would have to fall immediately. He placed the bowl on the table, touched Jia Lan's little head, and smiled a little strangely.

"You have filial piety, say, what are you looking for me?"

Jia Lan knelt on the ground and said, "Second Uncle Bao, my mother said that you practice calligraphy behind closed doors, and if you practice it in the future, it must be an excellent one." She wanted to ...... No, I think, I want to be a teacher of words. My mother said that learning words is different from the teaching of Yixue, and it is necessary to be closer. ”

Baoyu took off a piece of jade pendant and hung it on Jia Lan, it was not a Tongling Baoyu, it was also worn for a long time, according to the attacker, it was something he had when he caught Zhou.

He nodded and said, "Go back and tell my sister-in-law, and I will say that I agreed." ”

Jia Lan smiled excitedly, didn't turn around, and walked back like this. If you want to say that you respect teachers, Jia Lan, a child, is a little more sensible than him Baoyu.

After he waited for Jia Lan to leave, his smile became more and more strange, and he ordered Raider, Qingwen, and Wang Shanbao to do what he just said, and pointed to the blue and white folded branches and fruit pattern sea bowl and said to Musk Yue: "It's better to pour it out, remember, after pouring it out, don't forget to send the empty bowl to your sister-in-law, just say I like it very much." ”

"Gotta say, I love to eat. ”

He fell on the hot kang and laughed.

[What a ghost, what a ghost, it's too boring. Hmm, when they come back, I'll have enough money to practice calligraphy, right?]

A young tiger that does not waste time on the struggle of ants.
