"Jiurou wants to dig a cellar?"

When everyone returned home, it was already dark, and during the meal, Lao Eleven talked about Wu Ning digging a cellar, but the sixth uncle was not happy.

"What's that for? It's not something that our farmers should have. ”

"Kuro!" The sixth uncle felt that he had to say a few words, "Listen to your fifth uncle, your stall is making some money, but it is not such a way to spend money when you have spare money." ”

"It's nothing to repair the house, no matter how bad it is, you can use it when you get married, but digging a cellar, I think it's better to forget it."

Wu Ning had already been mentally prepared for Liubo's statement, after all, he hadn't tried it, and it was difficult for the older generation to understand.

Yes did not refute, but only said with a smile: "It is now a farmer's leisure, so I will dig a bite and try it, it won't cost much." ”

Speaking of this, the sixth uncle didn't have anything to say, shook his head silently, and decided that Wu Ning was tossing around.

"You, the offspring in the col is the most restless for you."

Wu Ning didn't answer, just smiled.

In fact, Wu Ning has been thinking about digging a vegetable cellar for a long time, even earlier than opening an inn, but he has never had the time and energy to put it into action.

......

Fangzhou is located in Jinghu Lake, but the mountainous climate and the weather in this era are obviously much colder than in later generations, so in winter, there will be a period of frost that is not short, not only will snow fall, but even the rivers will have to freeze.

This has caused a winter and a spring season, and the ingredients on the people's table are extremely scarce. In addition to the radish and dried taro with bran heart, there are some pickled bamboo shoots and lotus roots, and it is rare to see green cabbage leaves.

Wu Ning's family grows vegetable fields, so how to sell the vegetables in the field at a high price has become the thing that Wu Ning ponders the most.

Wu Ning has always wondered, like the method of storing vegetables in the north in later generations, it is not complicated, why has he not seen it in Datang?

Actually, he didn't know, and there were two main reasons for this.

First, there are not many types of vegetables suitable for cellar storage, and the method is not appropriate. Even if the northern farmers of later generations dug vegetable cellars, they at most stored some potatoes, turnips, and Chinese cabbage.

But in Datang, potatoes are still in the Americas, radishes don't need vegetable cellars, find a shady place, as long as they don't freeze, they can be stored. It's just a little bit of chaff, not so watery.

As for cabbage, it is called Songcai at this time, but Datang has it.

But unlike the cabbage of later generations, it is too small, the size of two fists, and it is too difficult to store.

Second, this method of cellaring is not popular, to put it bluntly, digging cellars and storing things is not popular in Datang.

This method of burying deep underground and storing at a constant temperature was only deeply utilized after spirits began to become mainstream.

The cellar was used to store wine before it was widely used.

However, the alcohol content of the Tang Dynasty was very low, and the purification was not good, so the shelf life was relatively very short, and there was no cellaring value.

In short, Wu Ning has dug up this vegetable cellar.

In the past, people were small and had no money to toss him, so that he didn't do anything for five years. Now that I'm barely an adult, it's time to do what a traverser should do.

......

After eating, everyone went home and agreed to come over at dawn tomorrow morning.

Wu Li also wanted to spend the night at Wu Ning's house, but Wubo didn't let him, because Wu Qi had to study at night.

The fourth uncle sent him back to the col to help, but he taught the ugly uncle about reading, and he didn't dare to slack off.

This goods memorized the book in Uncle Ugly's house for a long time before returning to Wu Ning's side. With his light, you can also light an oil lamp for a while, and brighten your belly for a while.

Uncle Xu is ugly assigned homework, and Wu Qi didn't talk to Wu Ning much when he came back, and read the book by the light.

However, after looking at it for a while, I looked up. found that Wu Ning was also reading.

"You read too?"

"Can't you?" Wu Ning replied without raising his head.

He is lazy, but one thing is very good, that is, he agrees to other people's things, even if he is reluctant, he will do it, and he will never discount it. 、

"What are you seeing? Do you want to teach you with me? ”

Wu Ning didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, unfolded the cover, and slammed it in front of Wu Qi's eyes: "Can you teach it?" ”

Well, Wu Qi was not calm, stared at it for a long time, and made sure that the four big characters of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" were on the cover, and then looked at the "Analects" in his hand.....

"Damn, why?"

"Why did Ben Gongzi learn the Analects, and you read the Zuo Chuan?"

"Ugh...."

Wu Ning sighed, put down the book in his hand, and said seriously: "This is also something that can't be helped, after all..."

"After all, what? Uncle forced you? ”

"After all, there is still a gap between people!"

"You!!" Wu Qi's face is green, squeezing people?

"Low-key!"

didn't wait for him to come out, Wu Ning was already raising his chin and pressing down with his empty hands, looking appeased.

"Your ninth brother, I like to be low-key, don't applaud, don't scream."

"Straight thief!!"

Wu Qi was furious and blew out the oil lamp with a pop.

"Sleep!"

"I'll keep you low-key!"

......

——————————

The next day was about the same as the first day, Wu Ning still got up before dawn to cook, and everyone arrived to eat together.

The fifth uncle, the sixth uncle, and the third brother are still making beams next door, and their small ones are picking up the house here.

However, Huzi got up early in the morning this time, and was the first to enter Wu Ning's house, and then guarded the soup stall and dozed off for a day, and then mixed up at night and left.

......

It was the same in the next few days, the only thing that made Wu Ning a little uneasy was that the matter of repairing the house had spread in the col, and some uncles and brothers, if the family was not busy, would occasionally come to help for a day's work.

Everything was fine, but what he couldn't figure out was: why didn't Aunt Seven come?

Well, Wu Ning is a bit cheap.

The can't hide, and she still hopes that she will come?

The key is, with the wisdom of Aunt Qi, how could she not understand a truth: she has money to repair the house, why can't she have the money to repay her rent? It stands to reason that thinking of this, can she still come?

But he didn't come, which made Wu Ning extremely unsteady, wouldn't he be holding back some big moves?

......

Another ten days passed.

Everyone dismantled the roof and lower beams, and chiseled off the back gable and rebuilt it. The beam on the sixth uncle's side is also ready, just waiting for the beam to ask the gods to hang the talisman, so that the auspicious day can be put on the beam.

Early in the morning, Wu Ning cooked the meal as usual, and everyone arrived early, but no one ate on the table, and waited until three poles in the morning.

Finally, two Taoist priests, one old and one young, entered the courtyard.

Wu Ning looked at the two, and the young one behind him was Meng Cangsheng, with low eyebrows and eyes, no fairy spirit at all, and honestly followed behind the old one.

And the old one, Wu Ning not only didn't catch up, but his face pulled up, and said to the old Taoist priest with a mustache, a pointed rat brain, and a thief's eyes:

"The kid only called the eldest brother, why didn't Daoist Xiao come uninvited?"

"No, no, no." The old Taoist priest was not displeased at all because of Wu Ning's rudeness, the spring breeze was still the same, and he shook his palms calmly.

"If you don't come to the poor road, and Jiulang doesn't go, won't you let you hide again?"

Wu Ning rolled his eyes and said in his heart, "Don't you dodge?" This old way is sick! ”

This thief is no one else, it is the master of the mountain who asks the immortal view, that is, the master of his cheap big brother Meng Cangsheng.

Commonly known as Xiao Fan, known as Xiao Taoist, he promised to "ask immortals".

I have to say that Daoist Xiao must have some real skills, and according to Wu Ning's guess, this old Taoist's ability should not be small, otherwise he would not be able to teach Meng Cangsheng such a strange thing.

But Wu Ning is annoyed by this old way, without it, this is a layman, a layman who is more vulgar than him, a traverser covered in copper.

Look at the name he gave to his Taoist temple, and then look at this appearance, and ......

There is also the dead skin Lai Skin, five years like a day, unrepentant, unswerving, Lai Pixiang, who has to accept Wu Ning as an apprentice, knows that this person has ......

It's cheesy!
