"Carp spotted in the sky, tomorrow the valley does not need to be turned", in ancient times, there was no satellite, radar and other high-tech, and some proverbs related to farming became the key. Early in the morning, the housekeeper Chen Rui rushed to Jin Yu and said: "The old man just asked the old trick on Zhuangzi. The clouds above do not bode well, and it is estimated that there will be heavy rain in three or five days, and if the farmer in the field is drenched in a heavy rain, the harvest will probably be halved. ”
"So serious?" Jin Yu looked up at the clouds in the sky, although he was taught to look at the clouds and know the weather in the textbook when he was a child, but he was used to listening to the weather forecast in the past, who would pay attention to these?
"Yes. Therefore, the old man pondered that it was better to open the sickle in advance, and it was not easy for the farmers to work for a year. It's the end of April, and it's hot enough, Chen Rui said by wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
"Cheng, then let's open the sickle." Jin Yu's understanding of the weather is not as familiar as the veteran style of this era, since Chen Rui investigated, he still listened well, so he agreed without hesitation.
"The old man will inform the dealers first, and you will have to start a club in a while, and you will also have to change your outfit." Chen Rui saw that Jin Yu agreed, and said hurriedly.
"Kisha?" This word Jin Yu is still the first time to hear it, and the land allocated to everyone in later generations is pitiful, and there is no tradition in the past, so Jin Yu doesn't know.
"Uncle Chen, you should be busy, and the concubine will tell her husband." Yang Ying came out at the right time, liberated Chen Rui, and then explained to Jin Yu what a society is.
To put it bluntly, Qisha is a kind of sacrificial ritual in ancient times, similar to the confrontation between two armies, and the role of beating the big drum. It's just that this role must be played by the head of the family, and you don't have to accompany the whole process, just set an example at the beginning.
"Oh, there are quite a lot of rules, just now Uncle Chen said that he wanted to change his line, what kind of line?" Jin Yu looked down at his body, he was quite upright, he wore it like this to work, and he also wore this set to attend some banquets, could it be said that there was a separate suit for participating in the sacrificial activities?
"The concubine body has been prepared for a long time, but I didn't expect to open the sickle today." After Yang Ying finished speaking, she hurriedly dragged Jin Yu to the bedroom to change clothes.
Looking at the clothes that Yang Ying took out, Jin Yu's first feeling was that the trend was right, it was the word, there were holes and eyes, and the upper body was full of pockets. If you dip it in some plaster or something, it will be the uniform of the beggars, and it is a very high-level one.
"Do you have to wear this?" Jin Yu felt that Yang Ying was dressing herself up as a disciple of the ninth generation of the Beggar Gang, "Not very good?" Many characters are husbands who still think that it is more beautiful to wear that one. ”
"Don't talk, God will blame you if you don't wear this sickle." Yang Ying put a lid on Jin Yu while stopping him from being dishonest.
Yes, God is so busy, this little thing should be remembered. Jin Yu doesn't know which family the god in Yang Ying's mouth belongs to, and he doesn't know if it's the true god of Taoism or Buddhism, anyway, now all the gods and Buddhas are flying all over the sky, and they have to be respected as a small people, fortunately, the ocean is wide enough, otherwise Jesus will also fly over, will there be a three-kingdom scuffle? It is very likely that Jin Yu is thinking blindly while letting Yang Ying treat himself as a puppet.
"The husband also changed his shoes, put this card around his neck for a while, and the concubine went out to see how the arrangements went, and you just came out directly after you put them on." Yang Ying pulled the ribbon on Jin Yu's back hard, and after instructing Jin Yu to go out in a hurry.
As a later generation, Jin Yu did not understand the importance of agricultural harvest to the people now. Every time the harvest is harvested, in the month before and after, the strong men who serve outside the country have to go home to work in the farm, and all those who have land at home, whether they are princes and nobles, or ordinary landlords, must participate in the whole process. The imperial court also took this matter as a top priority, and would send commissioners to all parts of the country to supervise the harvest, mobilize all the labor force, and the working people of the whole country worked together to grab time and food from God. …,
Jin Yu felt that he was in the Cultural Revolution, and the card in front of him looked like the crime card of the criticized people, so he almost lowered his neck and hung two bricks.
"What is the husband rubbing? The whole village is waiting for you. Jin Yu was still hesitating whether to go out, so Yang Ying pushed the door in a panic and came in.
Forget it, let's go, I've never seen Yang Ying so anxious, if you are embarrassed, you will be ashamed, you should serve the people. Jin Woo thought to himself.
The sacrificial activities are not as complicated as Jin Yu imagined, and it may be because of the urgency of time and lack of preparation. First of all, the two representatives of the Zhuang household danced like a cramp on the god platform, muttering while dancing, similar to the dancing gods of later generations, without any aesthetic feelings. Next is Jin Yu's appearance, under the command of Chen Rui, Jin Yu is like a puppet and worships left and right, and the dealers below seem to have been stimulated by something, and they make a regular "howling" sound, which makes people feel like they are in a wolf pack. Finally, Jin Yu personally lit a pile of wheat stalks from last year as the end of the dance performance, Jin Yu took a sickle and cut the first bunch of wheat in the direction chosen by Shenhan, and the farmers were full of energy to harvest the wheat field, and Jin Yu's debut dance ended successfully.
With the swing of the sickle, the wheat fell one by one, and the men slowly moved forward, while the women tied the cut wheat together and loaded it onto ox carts and horse-drawn carts, which were carried to the wheat fields. The dolls in the village school also took farm leave, and the older ones were busy working in the wheat fields, and the smaller ones were driving sparrows in the wheat fields with a small wooden stick. Several local dogs were infected by this warm atmosphere, and they ran around, not knowing what they were happy about.
Jin Yu sat under the makeshift shed to enjoy the shade, and Yang Ying laboriously pulled Jin Yu's head down, "The concubine is too tight, didn't strangle her husband, right?" Quite a few words"
"It's done." Jin Yu rubbed Le's sore muscles, but fortunately there were no bruises, and it seemed that he was a lot more delicate after coming to the Tang Dynasty. Looking at the busy figure in the wheat field, Jin Yu was a little moved, he had done this work before, so he proposed to Yang Ying: "Can the husband go down and cut two sickles again?" ”。
"How? It's so shared. Yang Ying helped Jin Yu relax his muscles, but ruthlessly rejected Jin Yu's proposal.
"Uh''Then let's just watch?" It was the first time for Jin Yu to participate in such a large-scale group activity, and he asked like a novice.
"How can it? From now until the end of the rent collection, our family will have to take care of the food. It is not easy for the farmers to work for a year, so they must not be stingy at this time. Yang Ying said seriously, "Although we don't charge much rent, the farmers are all new to the house, and the family is not rich, so who will come out?" ”
Yang Ying's tone of course, Jin Yu's heart was warm when he heard it, there was no ugly face in the textbook of later generations in "Collected Three or Five Buckets", a harmonious atmosphere, landlords and tenants were happy, what a harmonious scene Since Yang Ying's consciousness is so high, Jin Yu feels that he can't be stingy, "Lady, our family doesn't have a large population, we can't eat so much food, and besides, there is a lot of business in the family, and there is no shortage of money, can we collect less rent?" ”
"How?" Yang Ying's eyes widened, and she explained to Jin Yu: "Our family's land in the village, we collect land rent, it is a matter of course. Isn't rent reduction scolding? ”。
"Who scolded? Is it still scolded to reduce the rent of the banker? "Jin Yu thinks that the rent is too heavy, the farmers work hard for a year, and at least half of the harvest has to be rented to the landlord's family. Ordinary landlords, and those who have not been sealed, have to take out a part of it and hand it over to the imperial court.
"Stupid" Yang Ying tapped Jin Yu's forehead with a thin finger and explained: "If the husband dares to reduce the rent today, there will be bad words tomorrow." Let's reduce, what about those who have land? Also subtracted? The court didn't agree to it..."...,
"It's stupid enough." Jin Yu laughed at himself, he can't blame himself, who let himself have no experience as a landlord? "It's always better to eat better, right? Don't be stingy with a lot of meat, don't be stingy, manage enough, and only when you are full will you have the strength to harvest wheat. ”
"Cheng, there will be no reason for being stingy, and if you turn back and arrange the concubine, the husband will not have to worry about it." Yang Ying, the housemother, is much more qualified than Jin Yu, and she handles many things very well, which often makes Jin Yu sigh to himself.
"Then there's nothing wrong with us now, right? A lot of words" Jin Yu took a break and asked.
"Well, take care of the food, pack up the granary, and wait for the food to be stocked up." Yang Ying explained to Jin Yu.
"Oh, it's good for the lady to call the shots in those things, go fishing for your husband and drink for the night." Jin Yu deliberately accentuated the word "wine" and made Yang Ying blush.
"The husband knows how to tease the concubine, and he has apologized to you." Yang Ying knew that her husband was referring to drinking too much that day, and Jin Yu always went to Xuanxuan's room under Yang Ying's urging these days. Jin Yu proposed to sleep with Yang Ying, but Yang Ying really couldn't wipe this face.
"Haha, it's the lady who thinks too much, right? A lot of words look at this wheat, for the husband is comfortable, people are in a good mood, they want to drink a little wine, but there is no other meaning. Jin Yu laughed, he couldn't get enough of Yang Ying's shy appearance. It would be great if it could be said that Yang Yingda was sleeping together.
"Hmph, the husband will tease the concubine." Yang Ying didn't follow, grabbed the piece of meat on Jin Yu's waist and rotated it ninety-degrees, and said coquettishly: "Husband, go fishing, the concubine wants to eat the braised fish made by her husband." ”
"Serve your husband." Jin Yu put flowers on his mouth, grabbed Yang Yingxiang, and laughed away.
Bean yellow crab, wheat yellow turtle. Jin Yu is lucky, he hooked up an old turtle Jin Yu who is happy to stop fishing, go back to make turtles, the original ecological and pollution-free good things, big supplements, you can toss two more gases after eating, maybe Yang Ying will agree with a soft heart?
