Chapter Eighty-Nine: Bamboo Forest Village

The next morning, Zhao Yuan and Meng Ying got up and shouted Luoluo, ran around the field, and then practiced the boxing techniques taught by Qian Hu for a while, which has been a reserved item for Zhao Yuan's family of three for half a month.

"I'm so tired, uncle, can I stop exercising." Luoluo gasped and said.

"No, Luoluo, haven't you noticed that you've gained a lot of weight lately?" Zhao Yuan also gasped and said.

"Whew, let's make breakfast." After the workout, Meng Ying also gasped and said.

"Okay, we haven't exercised enough, so we're tired for a while." Zhao Yuan said with a general feeling, he hasn't done any work recently, and his physical fitness has declined.

"But I feel so tired, uncle, I'm short of oxygen." After learning some basic physical and chemical knowledge, Luoluo said in practice.

"You're just lazy, let's go, go back to the kitchen and scoop up water and wash, and then help my aunt make breakfast." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"I'm not lazy, it's my uncle who is lazy, he said that he would raise a lot of small animals, bought nine chickens, and eight of them were eaten, and he hasn't bought animals for so long." Luoluo said dissatisfiedly.

"Isn't Uncle busy, he's been busy building Huaguo Mountain during this time." Zhao Yuan said with some confidence.

I've really become lazy recently, and the books in the study, Zhao Yuan haven't updated them recently, and I don't know if Wan Yunjun will come to urge them next time he sees them.

After breakfast, Zhao Yuan took Luoluo to the study, gave Luoluo a routine explanation of some physical chemistry and recognizing a few words, and then let Luoluo study and write a daily diary by himself, and Zhao Yuan began to extract some books from the knowledge base in his mind.

"Wheat High-quality and Efficient Cultivation Technology", "Rice Breeding", ...... These two books on wheat and rice planting, Zhao Yuan gave priority to copying them from the knowledge base in his mind, and some technologies that could not be used in this era were directly removed, and in the study, Zhao Yuan and Luoluo, one big and one small, were quiet, leaving only the sound of a quill brush scratching the paper.

Meng Ying cleaned up the kitchen, fed the two donkeys and the big-flowered hen, and also came to the study, took a book and looked at it, looking at Zhao Yuan and Luoluo from time to time, half of the morning time passed quickly.

"Okay, we have enough study time today, let's go out for a walk." Copying books is not an easy task, especially the quill pen used by Zhao Yuan is not very easy to write, and there is also a need to think about the content copied while copying in line with this era. Putting down the quill pen, Zhao Yuan moved his wrist and said to Meng Ying, who was a little sleepy reading a book on the side, to Luoluo.

"Okay, uncle, where are we going?" Luoluo suddenly became energetic, stood up and asked.

"How about we go and herd the donkeys, and by the way, ask where there are stonemasons, we need to buy two stone mills in our house." Zhao Yuan proposed.

"It's quite inconvenient, in Zhaojiazhuang before, you could grind something, but now there is no stone mill at home, and sometimes you can't grind something." Meng Ying said approvingly.

"Uncle, do stonemasons know how to do stone grinding?" Luoluo asked.

"Yes, stonemasons can not only do stone grinding, but also carve stone tablets and carved stone statues." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.

"Then can you make a stone tablet for our family's Huaguo Mountain, now only we know that our family's mountain is called Huaguo Mountain, and no one else knows."

"Okay, let's make a stone monument for our mountain." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.

In fact, the stonemason of Gray Plains Town, Zhao Yuan probably knew where it was, it was in Zhulin Village on the other side of the mountain, but he had not dealt with it before, so he had to go over and ask.

Zhulin Village, known for its bamboo forests full of mountains, is the season when winter bamboo shoots and a small number of spring bamboo shoots begin to germinate, Zhao Yuan proposed to find a stonemason, on the one hand, it is really necessary to make a stone mill, and on the other hand, it is for the bamboo shoots of Zhulin Village.

Although the bamboo in Zhulin Village is mainly golden bamboo and blue bamboo, and the bamboo shoots have a numb smell, Zhao Yuan, who came from later generations, is an out-and-out bamboo shoot lover, with hot and sour bamboo shoots, bacon fried fresh bamboo shoots, and bamboo shoots shabu shabu...... Thinking of these delicacies made of bamboo shoots, Zhao Yuan was full of expectations for this trip to Zhulin Village.

"Bring some biscuits, we'll eat biscuits when we're hungry." After cleaning up the study, the three of them were ready to go out, Zhao Yuan thought that he would definitely delay for a while when he arrived in Zhulin Village, so he still brought something to eat.

Biscuits are fermented with flour mixed with baking soda, baked in an earthen oven, after several explorations, the appearance of the biscuits has been infinitely close to the level of some biscuits in later generations, Zhao Yuan is also considering asking someone to make a large number of them in the future, as a snack in the newly opened store to sell.

"Okay, Brother Yuan, do you want to bring two bamboo tubes of water?" Meng Ying asked.

"You don't need to bring water, in fact, you can bring cookies with or without it, and you should be able to find food when you get to Zhulin Village." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

I bought a lot of bamboo from Zhulin Village, and I was more familiar with several of them, and when I went to Zhulin Village, it should be relatively easy to find a meal to eat, and the biscuits I brought can be given as gifts when the time comes.

Waiting for Meng Ying to pack a small bag of biscuits, Zhao Yuan and Luoluo respectively led the big donkey with the white head and the little donkey black tiger to stand at the gate of the courtyard and wait for Meng Ying.

"Let's go, you have to go around the mountain to get to Zhulin Village." Seeing Meng Ying come out, Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Uncle, can't we climb over Huaguo Mountain?" Luoluo asked.

"Although you can go to Zhulin Village from the mountain, it is not easy to walk on the mountain." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.

The two donkeys barked twice from time to time, especially the black tiger, who spent most of the time in the donkey shed this winter, and released some joy during this time.

The road to Zhulin Village is just a small road, some grass on the side of the road has begun to sprout, the two donkeys smell the smell of grass and always struggle with the rope to eat two bites, it seems that they are tired of eating hay during this time.

Luoluo also looked very cheerful, the song that had not sounded for a long time sounded on the path, Zhao Yuan chatted with Meng Ying, and came to Zhulin Village after a while.

Zhulin Village is similar to Zhaojiazhuang, and there are only more than ten households, most of whom are surnamed Huang. When Zhao Yuan's family came to Zhulin Village, most of them were working in the fields on the side of the road, tidying up the land and preparing to sow spring wheat.

"Brother Zhao, why did you come to our village?" Huang Gufeng, who had sold the bamboo to Zhao Yuan's family, was working in the field, and when he saw Zhao Yuan's family, he came over and said hello.

"Uncle Feng is working, I came to ask if our Huangshi masonry in Zhulin Village is at home, and my family wants to make a stone mill." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Uncle is at home, in this case, you go to my house first, and then I will take you to find the uncle." Huang Gufeng said with a smile, Huang Stonemason is Huang Gufeng's uncle.

At the beginning, Zhao Xiaoge bought a lot of bamboo and planks from himself, and the price he gave was very fair, and when he sent bamboo and planks to Zhao Yuan, his family's house built in Xiaheba on the back of the mountain and such a large piece of land made Huang Gufeng feel that Zhao Yuan was a big man.

"Then we'll interrupt it, don't delay Uncle Feng's work." Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.

"Don't delay, don't delay, Brother Zhao, you are a distinguished guest, and the work in the field is not in a hurry for a while."

"Yes, Brother Zhao, and Xiaoying, you are distinguished guests, and you can't come to us once." Huang Gufeng's daughter-in-law also put down her work and said with a smile on the side.

"Aunt Feng, we're not some distinguished guests, so we'll bother." Laughing, Zhao Yuan's family led two donkeys and followed Huang Gufeng and his wife to their house.
