Sujia Zhuangzi is different from the northern Zhuangzi, there is no wall, but it is like a farmhouse in Sichuan, with two compartments and a hall house, and a large open dam structure in the middle.

However, it is much larger than the farmhouse in Kawanaka, and the house has become a yard. On the right side of the pigsty, the cowshed and the horse shed have a separate livestock yard, the tool room on the left has a separate yard for storage, and the middle dweller's house is a separate yard.

Sandwiched between the three courtyards is a bluestone paved square, flanked by the main road with strange slides, sand pits, and some obvious arch climbing and amusement things, which seems to be a place for children to play.

On the other side, there are stone locks, knife holders, and many whistle sticks and bamboo knives inserted on them, and a few of them are obviously much shorter, which seem to be for children.

At the edge of the well at the end of the dam, Ba Cheng was organizing people to burn chickens and ducks and cut fish.

Seeing Zhang Dunli, Hachiko smiled and said, "Everyone and the horses are here, the city is lively, right?" ”

Zhang Dunli greeted the eighth prince: "What about changing the yuan, of course it is lively, that is, I will take you into the city to see, and you don't want to go." ”

Hachiko said: "There is a lot of work in the countryside, and you can't be idle for a day, these are your relatives?" Please come in quickly. ”

Empress Dowager Cao was also dressed simply today, and smiled at Bagong: "I'm going to bother my brother today." The physique of the old brother is really enviable. ”

Hachiko said, "It's good to move more, come and go into the house." ”

Stepping through the courtyard gate, Zhao Ji's eyes lit up: "This is really a hole." ”

The small courtyard is now in the Song Dynasty from the point of view of the big family, in fact, it is still more simple, this courtyard is Su You moved here in accordance with the courtyard regulations of Meishan Kelongli, the window lattice and the door are wood and varnish, the yard is a lawn, some places are paved with rough round bluestone slabs, surrounded by a circle of corridors, and the corridor is a room.

The whole yard is very simple, but a few flowers and trees and some mountain stone decorations make people very comfortable.

In the middle of the courtyard, there is also a square fish pond in the shape of a hollow shape, which is inlaid with bluestone and has a relatively wide edge, so you can sit down.

The design is very unique, there is an opening at the bottom of the word back, and there is a small stone table in the middle of the word, people can walk into the mouth, sit on the stone edge and play with the surrounding fish.

The water was shallow, less than a foot, and there was nothing but a thin layer of soft green blanket moss at the bottom, and the water was so clear that the goldfish in the sun seemed to be swimming in the air.

"Hachiko is really a good fish!" Zhao Ji praised.

This must have a filter device to raise it, but Zhao Ji was stunned and didn't find out where the filter was.

At the bottom of the courtyard is the hall house, Hachiko invited everyone into the hall to sit, there was no maid, it was a man who came to add tea to everyone.

Zhao Ji noticed that the man was missing two fingers on his left hand.

After the tea came up, Hachiko said: "I can't figure out the tea soup of the nobles in the city, there is only loose tea at home, so don't laugh." ”

Empress Dowager Gao picked up the bowl and gently scraped it, and a fragrance of tea came out: "This is the wild green of the mountains and mountains of Lingxiao Peak in Yuhang County, central Zhejiang, right?" ”

Empress Dowager Cao smiled: "This is my niece, she is a master of the tea ceremony." ”

Hachiko turned around and went to the shelf to take down a tin can: "Since you know it, I'll give it to you, Mingrun made something, give it to me, I don't know the goods." ”

"I drank home-made tea, picked on the back mountain, and the leaves were brewed. Mingrun's water three times has no tea taste, and it is too troublesome to change the tea several times a day. ”

Gao Tao couldn't help but wonder: "That's really thank you Hachiko." ”

Zhao Ji is also happy, and probably knows why the girl has something to take every time she comes: "Hachiko, your yard is beautiful, but there are too few people to call." ”

Hachiko said: "If you can move by yourself, you can move by yourself, Youwa and Wei'er toss outside with me, I don't dare to touch them in this small courtyard, I am a lonely old man and I have no place to call others, I get up every morning to sweep the floor and plaster, and I will dry with the flat can." ”

"Now it looks clean, and when spring begins, it will still be lively, and the children in the academy will come back, saying what practice they are, what credits they have saved, and they are not afraid that no one will accompany our grandparents."

Zhang Dunli explained to Zhao Ji: "The Royal Institute of Technology has an engineering practice course, which is a rule set by Su Mingrun. For example, lathes and metalworking are carried out in some internal workshops in Zhengzhou; And field surveying, agricultural technology and agricultural machinery, etc., practice in various Huangzhuang. ”

"It's also a base, and a lot of research on new crops is carried out here." Trade Winds Literature Network

Zhao Ji thought of the crops outside Zhuangzi: "Bagong, there are many vegetables outside Zhuangzi, we don't know each other." ”

Hachiko said: "I heard that many of them were brought from overseas, and the ones you don't know are roughly pimple cabbage, cauliflower, red rape, green rape, and carrots that you like to eat." ”

"If you want me to say that it is still the best thick-skinned vegetables, the leaves are peeled and long and round, and they can be harvested many times a year, and the vegetables of one acre of land, with some feed, are enough for more than 30 pigs to eat."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't sit still, got up and said, "Hachiko, go and see the pigs you raised?" ”

"Brother!" Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Dowager Cao stopped it at the same time.

Zhao Ji said: "Since ancient times, China has been based on agriculture, and the law of the Eight Princes can make everyone in the world eat meat, isn't it a huge merit? Hachiko, let's go, let's take a look. ”

Bagong said: "Since my brother wants to see it, I will take you there, you are really right, our Zhuangzi family has a big fat pig, but a lot of them were killed a few years ago, and the new pig baby has not come down yet, and the circle is a little empty......"

When the eighth prince led Zhao Ji to the livestock yard, Zhao Xuan saw the big fat pig in the pigsty: "Eight princes, this is what you said...... Somewhat empty? ”

The pigsty was enclosed one by one, and several large pigs with extremely ugly appearances were humming and chirping.

There are a few half-sized ones in the enclosure on the side, and the pigs look better.

Hachiko was very eccentric, and shoveled a scoop of dry material from the silo with a scoop and added it to the big pig trough, so anxious that the half-sized ones on one side snorted.

Bagong looked at the big pigs he raised like a baby: "This is the lion head brought from Shu, all of them are seeded, and you see how many sows are pregnant again." ”

Zhao Ji couldn't see it at all, but he still nodded.

After carefully smearing a few grains of feed scattered on the fence into the pen trough, Hachiko said happily: "When the spring is in full swing, there are students and pigs in the village, and it will be lively at that time." ”

Zhao Ji: "......"

"After the piglet comes down, it is castrated and then fed, and the meat grows obediently, and each family in the Zhuangzi can divide one or two heads, and one head is more than one hundred and fifty catties in ten months......"

"Some gentlemen say that raising steers is unkind, but forget it for me, my family has seen and understood: I know the way to make the people eat good meat, but for what kind of etiquette so that the people can't eat, that is, to carry the etiquette to rectify the person! Mr. Pig is happy, what should people do? ”

Zhao Ji couldn't help but want to laugh, those high-ranking officials in the court should come to this pigsty to receive education, and Hachiko, Mr. is also a human being, distinguish them from people, and put them together with pigs, a little too much.

The pen was cleaned, and all the feces and urine leaked underneath. The cowshed seems to be cleaned and sprinkled every day, and it smells, but it is not very serious.

Zhao Ji looked at the eyes of the eight princes looking at the big pigs: "I probably know why Huangzhuang can't raise pigs to support you......"

There is also a pigeon house on the livestock shed, and Hachiko introduced: "Those are made by the students, and they are taken to Zhengzhou to play with the letter, but the eggs are eaten with our flat cans......"

Zhao Ji is like a curious baby, after seeing the fat pig, and then going to see the warehouse, farm tools, and the mud mill, stone mill, silk reeling machine, spinning machine and other tools in the waterwheel workshop are not generally interested.

The hydraulic machinery of the Su family, in addition to the mud mill used for beating rice and the stone mill for grinding and grinding, are mostly metal machinery, brushed with anti-rust paint, and the bearing parts are smeared with thick petroleum jelly mixed engine oil, a hydraulic workshop, full of the beauty of modern industrial machinery.

A few peasant women made soybean milk here, and Bagong said: "These instruments are easy to use, that is, you have to get a lot at a time to get it, so Zhuangzi is all together before starting, making tofu on every household to eat tofu and make dried tofu, reeling silk spinning thread on everyone reeling silk spinning thread, beating rice together to beat rice." ”

Back in the courtyard, Zhao Ji asked, "Where is Mingrun's study?" ”

Hachiko said: "The study in this courtyard is the furnishings, and the children are engaged in learning in the small building at the back. ”

Zhao Ji said: "Hachiko, will you take me to see it?" ”

Hachiko said: "I can't get in, I have to have the sign of the Yamen of the Ministry of War." ”

Zhao Ji thought for a while: "Then forget it, let's go to Mingrun's study and have a look." ”

When the two returned to the courtyard, they saw that several women were already playing in the study, and several people got together to look through a large picture album.

On the album are all kinds of strange sea fish, and there are names and notes next to them, which were brought by Su You for the small flat can.
