Chapter Twenty-Four: Long Live and the New Plow
The emergence of stir-fried vegetables has made the Lu family's Chinese New Year's Eve rice delicious, which is the first time that stir-fried dishes have appeared in this era, and as the first sister Yunniang to taste stir-fried vegetables, she has expressed her support for stir-fried dishes with her own actions.
"Delicious, delicious, delicious." As she spoke, the little girl kept waving her chopsticks and stuffing all kinds of vegetables into her mouth.
"Yun Niang, slow down, don't choke." Seeing his sister eating and smiling, Lu Zhe was also infected, and wiped the rice grains on his sister's face with his fingers while serving vegetables to his sister.
"Stir-fry Saigao!" Finally ate the fried bean sprouts that he had been thinking about, and the familiar taste exploded in Lu Zhe, and he was so excited that he was about to cry. He told his sister to slow down, but he himself couldn't help but speed up.
After eating, Lu Zhe took his sister to the hall and kowtowed respectfully to the low couch where his parents often sit, and then boiled water for his sister to wash. After washing, the two of them sat around the kang table, staring at each other and starting to keep the New Year.
Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, the Tang Dynasty people have to keep the year, stay until the middle of the moon, looking at his sister's face and slumping down, there are still some golden beans in his eyes, Lu Zhe understands that little loli is missing her parents.
In order to divert Yun Niang's attention, Lu Zhe imitated the way of the Spring Festival Gala in later generations, and made a Tangshan Gate version of the Spring Festival Gala, just to make the little girl happy. Lu Zhe first taught the little girl to sing a song "Happy New Year", followed by stand-up comedy, Zhu Bajie ate ginseng fruit, and then came to a guessing session, and when the moon was in the middle of the sky, and finally taught the little girl to sing Wishing you prosperity.
Lu Zhe didn't teach Yun Niang to sing unforgettable tonight, because he felt that the song was a little sad and sad, and it would be bad if he made little Lori cry again.
In this way, Lu Zhe, who has no artistic cells, tried his best, singing, acting, and dancing in the small thatched hut, and he even roared a few times.
Fortunately, people in this era have no entertainment, although they have heard it, but Lu Zhe's imitation of Zhu Bajie, still amused his sister to lean forward and back, but in the middle of the sister found that his brother was wrong, and interrupted several times, the two songs of New Year and Wishing you prosperity were loved by her sister Yunniang, and when the Lu family's Spring Festival Gala ended, Lu Zhe asked her sister to choose her favorite program, the little girl thought for a while and decided to set the song "Good New Year" as the first, and said that she would go out to sing it to her classmates the next day, Duan Xiaoniang, the deputy head of the Shanmen preschool class, listened to it, so that she always didn't take the class leader in her eyes, and the class leader had a tune she had never heard before.
Very good, very good, the head of the squad teaches the deputy head of the class, and there is no problem at all.
In short, in the two brothers and sisters, Lu Zhe came to the first New Year of the Tang Dynasty, which was happily over.
Early the next morning, as soon as Lu Zhe opened the door, the forest dog combination appeared at the door of Lu's house on time as usual.
"Yuan Zheng Qizuo, everything is new, long live Lu Jun." Seeing Lu Zhe come out, the two of them bowed their hands to Lu Zhe and said loudly with joy.
"On the new day of the blessed birthday, longevity is boundless, and Fu Wei Lin Jun (Duan Jun) respects the body and is blessed." Lu Zhe also greeted the two of them separately, but for the auspicious words of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Zhe was still a little strange in his heart.
In the Tang Dynasty, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the people met each other and called each other long live. The word "long live" was used exclusively for the emperor and only began hundreds of years later during the reign of Wu Zetian.
After the three of them met, they talked about some gossip, nothing more than what they ate last night, in the morning Aya gave the New Year's money, and the two Lin Gou exchanged opinions on who has the most powerful magic weapon in Journey to the West, and then, the two urged Lu Zhe to change the latest season of Journey to the West, and finally because the hot pot could not be beaten or the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast, the two almost "friendly consultation".
Looking at these two goods, Lu Zhe suddenly felt that the middle two are not divided into ancient and modern, and there is no age limit for comics.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, I wish you all a good New Year...... not far from the three of them, the little girl's new song has made her achieve a considerable status among the little beans in the village, and at this moment she is directing this group of little Lori little Zhengtai with snot, extremely energetic.
After instructing the forest dog group to help him take care of the door and his sister, Lu Zhe began to visit the New Year one by one.
Seeing that Lu Zhe was leaving, the Lin Dog Group originally wanted to go with him, but they didn't expect to hear him say that he was going to visit the New Year, and the first one was the ghost elder's house farthest away from his house, and the two of them were suddenly excited.
"Lao Lu, you go first, this iron-eating beast has not been fed for many days, this is a descendant of an ancient spirit beast, how can you do this to it, wait for me to cut some tender bamboo branches for it." I heard that I was going to the ghost elder's house to pay New Year's greetings, and Lin Wujiao, who had just returned the same way as if I was going where you go, was suddenly stunned, and immediately turned into a good young pioneer who loves wild animals, and Duan Ergou next to him also nodded frequently, and the attitude of the two was surprisingly consistent.
After once again expressing his admiration for the forest dog combination's righteousness, Lu Zhe began his journey of New Year's greetings.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhe's New Year's greetings were unprecedentedly welcomed by the villagers, and when he came back, there were already a few more cooked chickens in his hands, a small handful of persimmons, a delicate Luban lock, and a few copper coins that were pressed for the year, and the ghost elder gave the heaviest gift, and even gave him a small bronze toad.
Lu Zhe, who was holding a bunch of things, returned home and received the surprised eyes of the two Lin Dogs, Lu Zhe knew that this was deliberate by the villagers, in order to give Lu Zhe some family affection who had lost his parents.
A few singing small beans, cooked chickens are exactly one person, mountain persimmons, forest dog combinations, and he and hot pot are divided together.
The persimmon is very sweet, and the three of them rolled it and nibbled it with relish.
"Lao Lu, where are we going to play next?" Lin Wuyi gnawed on the mountain persimmons, there were very few mountain persimmons at this moment, but the sweetness was very high, and Lin Wuyi, who was rarely able to eat this thing, made his teeth all over it.
"Or, kill two sets?" Although Lin Wujiao looks like a low stone pier and a small square, he is an inner show, and he is extremely talented in chess, and now Lu Zhe and Duan Ergou can't play him.
"It's not interesting to play chess, why don't I go to the mountains and forests to catch birds, or dig bamboo rats? Just now, when Lao Lin and I were cutting bamboo branches, we saw several birds. Duan Ergou gently touched the smooth fur of the hot pot, all he wanted was to harm the small animals.
"It's snowing in this cold winter, and it's not interesting to catch birds. I have other things to do. Rubbing the panda's ears, Lu Zhe has lost his desire to catch birds.
"What's the matter?" As soon as they heard that there was something new, the forest dog group immediately surrounded him, thinking that he had something new.
"It's almost spring, and I'm wondering if I should make a new plow." Lu Zhe said to the two Lin Dog with a distressed expression.
Crossing into the mountain village, Lu Zhe has always been a little scared of farming, and the farm work of this era is only a few words in Lu Zhe's limited memory.
That's really fucking tired.
In the autumn, Lu Zhe, who had just worn it, tried it and felt that he was about to collapse from exhaustion, or weeding after the autumn harvest, this work was light for the countryside, and in the end, Lin Wuyi and Lin Jiang helped him do it together. The farm work of this era is indeed a little unbearable for Lu Zhe thousands of years later.
Thinking that next year's rations for his family and his sister for a year will be grown by themselves, Lu Zhe frowned when he thought of this.
Therefore, how to make the next year's farm work easier, Lu Zhe, who was born in the Department of Physics, put his idea on farm tools, and as a traverser, Quyuan plough is almost one of the necessary props for everyone to cross the crowd and force them to slap their faces and walk to the peak of ginseng.
But it's a pity that Lu Zhe only saw the picture of Qu Yuanli in the history books in his previous life, and he still remembers the general appearance, but the details have long been forgotten. Unlike those predecessors, even if a chef killer special forces crossed, they could carefully draw a diagram of the curved plow.
Therefore, he had no choice but to use the straight plow at home and use the physics knowledge he had learned to try to study the curved plow.
Compared with the straight plow, the advantage of the curved plow is that the curved plow is more labor-saving than the straight plow, and the plow can be turned, and the depth of the plow can also be controlled.
Lu Zhe knew that he couldn't work hard, and he couldn't plant a few acres of land, and if he wanted to get enough food, he had to work intensively. If you want to cultivate intensively, deep ploughing is very important when plowing the field, so how to control the depth of the plowwood blade has become the biggest problem that plagues Lu Zhe at present.
On weekdays, Lu Zhe would think about how to control the depth of the plow blade in his mind, and secretly passed several plans, in this era without nails, many designs in later generations are difficult to achieve.
It wasn't until a moment ago that Lu Zhe was finally relieved, because he saw Lu Ban Lock.
When he saw Lu Ban Lock for the first time, a string in Lu Zhe's mind was suddenly connected, and in a flash of inspiration, the problem that had plagued him for a long time was solved.
Carefully observing Lu Ban Lock, the new plow shape began to slowly take shape in Lu Zhe's mind, and Lu Zhe, who knew that practice could produce true knowledge, was ready to make a model first.
Only after the experiment can you know whether your new plough can stand up to the test.
And the forest dog combination, which has mastered a certain skill and is bored, is the best candidate for the model maker in Lu Zhe's heart.
So, at Lu Zhe's suggestion, Lu Lingou Xinli Science and Technology Research Team was formally established on the first day of the Lunar New Year under the big locust tree at the west entrance of the village.
