Early the next morning... Yue Niang got up early and started making breakfast with her mother and two brothers-in-law.
After about a while, the men got up one by one.
followed to the kitchen, sat at a big table, and soon, Yue Niang brought up today's breakfast with a smile, and as soon as it was served, Zhang Hei's eldest son instantly showed an incredible expression and shouted: "Mutton soup cake... Aunt... Meat or lamb in the morning? ”
Looking at the incredible expression of her eldest nephew, Yue Niang replied with a smile: "Yes... I eat mutton in the morning, and my aunt tells you that not only in the morning, but also at noon, we will eat mutton in the evening.
Let you make up for it. ”
"Auntie... You are so good to us. The other Yue Niang's nephews all showed expressions of gratitude.
"Alright... What are you waiting for, hurry up and eat. ”
Yue Niang smiled, and after getting her aunt's words, the nephews collectively couldn't wait to eat the delicious mutton soup cakes, but just after these guys picked up the chopsticks.
Zhang Damao, who was on the side, snorted heavily and said: "There are no rules, your eldest cousin hasn't come yet, I think who dares to move chopsticks?" ”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Dafu on the side smiled and said, "Uncle Yue... Let's eat, that kid in my family likes to sleep lazily in the morning, and he can't get up until at least three o'clock (about ten o'clock), so we eat first, father-in-law, you move the chopsticks first. ”
"Ahh Sleep well so that you can nourish your brain. Zhang Damao smiled, picked up the chopsticks, and took the lead in taking a sip of soup, the delicious mutton soup, which made Zhang Damao show an intoxicated expression.
Seeing that Zhang Damao had already drunk a mouthful of soup, it meant that his grandfather had already eaten, and later, the four nephews of Li Zhan also ate with a big mouthful.
Especially the mutton, that bite is really beautiful bubbling.
"Delicious... Delicious...! ”
The four cousins and the two uncles all didn't raise their heads when they ate, for fear that they would eat slower than others.
"Auntie... I'm going to have another bowl. Zhang Hei's eldest son, Zhang Wen, was the first to eat the soup cake in his bowl, and then raised his bowl high.
"Haha... Good.. Aunt gives you Sheng. Saying that, Yue Niang smiled and took Zhang Wen's big bowl and went to serve the soup cakes.
Seeing that Zhang Wen had already eaten a bowl, the other people here also sped up their own eating, looking at the posture of everyone scrambling, grandma could only come out with a smile and said: "Don't rush to eat, you can cook enough to eat today, rest assured, your aunt is worried that you won't be able to eat enough, so she cooked a lot." ”
"yes... yes... Eat slowly. ”
Zhang Yueniang's two brothers-in-law also showed happy smiles.
After eating breakfast, everyone's stomachs were round, but after just a while, Zhang Damao looked at Li Dafu and asked, "Dafu... It's not too early, do you want to ask Zhan'er, what are we going to do in the morning? ”
"Ahh Uncle Yue, don't need it, Zhan'er told me yesterday, what about me... Take Heizi, Shunzi and Zhang Wen, Zhang Liang to make wooden boxes together, and then you will take Li Sheng, Zhang Gong, and Zhang Jian to grind the wall frost together, these are all things that Zhan'er will use, so be prepared. ”
"Well... There is no problem, what Zhan'er wants us to do, we will do it together. Zhang Damao smiled.
And except for the men... Women also have a task, this Tang Dynasty, there is no cotton, cotton appeared very late in Chinese history, until the end of the Song Dynasty was introduced to China, in other words, there was no cotton before the Song Dynasty, and there were no cotton clothes, cotton pants, quilts and the like.
Then some people may have to ask, how can you survive the winter without cotton?
Although cotton came to China very late, there is one thing that is unique to China, and that is silk. Silk is not only popular in China, but also world-renowned, but its use is only limited to the wealthy, and ordinary people cannot afford to use silk.
Take the people of the Tang Dynasty as an example, the rich people used cotton clothes, quilts, cotton pants for the winter, are made of silk, very luxurious, in order to increase the effect of warmth, people stuff duck feathers, goose feathers, rabbit hair and other animal hair into the quilt to achieve the effect of warmth. The way the rich spend the winter is a very luxurious way, even in the cold winter, they do not feel cold.
The rich spend the winter on silk and hair, so how do the poor survive the winter? They are very resourceful in what they do, and this also reflects the wisdom of the working people. After the autumn harvest, they collect the crop stalks, or collect some hay for the winter. When winter comes, they spread the hay and crop stalks on their beds to keep them warm. This is not only very warm, but also very soft, which is one of the methods commonly used by the ancients.
Although their quilts are not enriched with cotton, they are enriched with catkins, which is a cotton-like thing, which can also play a role in keeping warm, so that they can resist the cold in winter, which shows that the ancients were very clever and made full use of all things in nature to meet their own needs.
So what is the task of the women of the Li family... It is to go to the village to buy duck feathers, goose feathers, rabbit feathers... Then sew the sheets, which everyone should know and are used to insulate the popsicles.
I don't have a quilt, so I can only use these to reduce the melting time of my popsicles.

"Ahh Li Zhan stretched out on his bed.
Seeing that Li Zhan had woken up, Li Zhan immediately walked in with a bamboo basin happily: "Big brother... You're awake. ”
"Hey... Child, didn't I tell you, don't take care of me, your eldest brother and I have hands and feet, and I will do things by myself. Li Zhan felt very sorry for his sister, he didn't want his sister to be his little maid.
It just made Li Zhan cry and laugh, but Li Qian said stubbornly: "No... I want to take care of you, I am your sister, it is natural to take care of my brother, if my brother is not willing to let my sister take care of me, he must dislike my sister. ”
After speaking, Li Qian's little eyes were slightly red.
Worried that his sister would cry, Li Zhan could only compromise: "Okay... Good... I let you take care of it, let you take care of it. ”
In this way, Li Qian broke into tears and smiled, and obediently brought the bamboo basin to Li Zhan.
There is no way... Li Zhan knew that at this time, his little sister was proud of being able to take care of herself, and suddenly, if she didn't take care of herself, the little guy would definitely be psychologically unbalanced, thinking that he had done something wrong, so that his brother would be angry.
This is not good, Li Zhan thinks about it or take it slowly.
Wash your face... Li Zhan walked out of the room, Li Zhan immediately went to give Li Zhan soup cakes, and after a while, a bowl of steaming soup cakes was ready, Li Zhan ate a bowl quickly, followed Li Zhan's movement, and then stretched his waist, ready to inspect how his people were doing.
