9. Settle down

As soon as the day dawned, all kinds of birds and beasts sounded at once, waking people up like an alarm clock. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Dad, it's another batch of animals that are calling now." They're called in shifts. Liu Man grunted, wrapped the quilt around his head, and fell asleep again. Yao Ying also woke up, half-leaning on the head of the bed in a daze, patting her son mechanically with one hand, hoping that he would sleep a little longer.

Looking up to see that the sky was a little bright, Liu Yao simply got up and went to see the patient's condition. happened to meet Mei Xianzhuo who was incense on the ancestral tablet. Liu Yao didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to turn a blind eye and go directly to see the patient. Mei Jiaju's condition is very stable, which is reassuring. If it is good luck that there is no stubble in the fracture, then the wound is not infected, and the body temperature has not risen, which is simply a jackpot.

After checking on the patient, Liu Yao went to the wellhead to bring a bucket of water for everyone to wash. The face towel is a hand-woven cotton cloth, which is very green and environmentally friendly, but it is rough and stiff, and it hurts to rub the skin on the face. Liu Yao had to comfort him again, saying that no soap is an opportunity, and he can make a lot of money by opening a soap factory in the future.

In comparison, washing your face and bathing is just a small trouble, and going to the toilet is a disaster. The so-called toilet is that there are two wooden planks on top of the manure pit, and there are pigs next to it! The stench of people endured on the trembling planks, and the pigs that were close by them sometimes shook vigorously.

Standing in front of the toilet, looking at Liu Man, who was crying and almost collapsed, Liu Yao thought about it, led Liu Man to ask Mrs. Mei for a large porcelain basin, and then asked for a wooden board to make a lid, and moved it back with great difficulty, and announced to the two ladies with tears and laughter: "This is the toilet." It's very heavy, and you can't hold it, so I'll have to pour it, so please try to pull it as few times a day as possible. ”

"I wanted to complain about the lack of soap. There really is no soap in this plane! But seeing your heavy toilet, I better stop complaining and wash up and sleep early. Yao Ying shook her crying son, who had no milk to eat, and said helplessly.

"If you take a look at our bathwater process, you know that it's not a simple matter to wash and sleep. We are to wash the pot in which the rice is cooked, pour water into the pot with a heavy wooden barrel and heat it, and then scoop it into the bucket one by one, and carry it to our house. Neither of you can do it with that wooden spoon to scoop water into the bucket. Liu Yao thought for a while, and then said, "No wonder I said that I take a bath every day, Mrs. Mei and Mei Xiang were so surprised." ”

After freshening up, Liu Yao announced that today's task is to familiarize himself with the environment and rest thoroughly. The family walked around and around the Mei family house with great interest, and everything they saw was very novel. The architecture and furnishings of the house are not unfamiliar, very similar to the ancient buildings preserved in the time and space when they came, and what attracts the attention of the family is the traces of faith that can be seen everywhere. Not only is the place where the ancestral tablets are placed in the middle of the hall filled with cigarette smoke every day, but almost every wall is pasted with images of gods and Buddhas or red paper filled with various worship contents. There is a small stone shrine in the corner of each courtyard, and the faces of the people in it are blurred, but there are also incense ashes and wax droplets, and it is thought that there are incense candles to worship every day.

The family visited with great interest, and when they wanted to eat, Liu Yao led Liu Man to the terrible kitchen to find food. The hygiene of the kitchen was worrisome, and neither father nor daughter dared to let Yao Ying visit. Fortunately, the food is good, although there are only a limited number of kinds such as tofu, fried eggs or bacon, but they all have a unique taste, and the taste of vegetables is also very strong, which is by no means comparable to modern food, so that the family can enjoy eating. It is estimated that there are a lot of people at home who help, and there are hot meals ready in the kitchen at any time.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Mei Xianzhuo and Mrs. Mei knocked on the door with a little girl dressed as a girl. Liu Yao looked up, hurriedly got up from the bed, straightened his clothes and walked over. Mei Xianzhuo arched his hand, and Mrs. Mei and the girl said a blessing. Liu Yao hurriedly arched his hand, and hurriedly beckoned his wife and daughter over. The two ladies didn't know how to return the salute, nodded awkwardly, said hello and stood with their heads bowed. The two families stood across the threshold, speechless for a moment. It was Mei Xianzhuo who broke the silence, waved his hand and said please speak here, and invited Liu Yao's family out of the house.

"Brother and sister, since you have decided to live here, let's make a long-term plan. We've packed up a few rooms, and you'll live with your family, and we'll make other plans in two years. Mrs. Mei took Yao Ying to the east wing and said softly.

The east wing has a row of three rooms, one with a dining table and chairs, apparently used as a dining room and living room, and the other two with beds, which are the bedrooms for the couple and their daughter. Mrs. May introduced the furniture in the house one by one, and said, "In the future, your family will settle down here." We ate together, so we didn't have a kitchen. As he spoke, he pulled the girl and said, "If my brother and sister want to make something that suits their taste, ask Mei Xiang to do it." Usually serving tea and pouring water, washing and sweeping the floor, all called plum fragrant dry. Mei Xiang looked at Yao Ying and made a blessing, hid behind Mrs. Mei, poked her head out and smiled with big eyes.

These housework were naturally explained by Mrs. Mei to Yao Ying, but Yao Ying didn't understand much, and she didn't know how to answer politely, so she had to nod and say thank you. Liu Yao took over the conversation and thanked Mrs. Mei, and said to Mei Xiang again: "There will be more trouble in the future." Mei Xiang didn't expect to speak to herself, she lowered her head and hid, then felt that something was wrong, and came out again with a red face and said Wanfu, and greeted softly: "Mrs. Liu Wanfu, Miss Gongzi Wanfu." ”

Liu Yao didn't know how to return the salute, so he arched his hand indiscriminately and said, "Don't call me a member, just call me Mr. Liu." Mei Xiang bowed her head and answered, and completely hid behind Mrs. Mei.

Mrs. Mei watched with interest, and pulled Yao Ying to introduce the objects in the room one by one. It turns out that the function of the bathroom is decomposed: washing the face and bathing must be a basin of water, which is solved in the bedroom, and it is nothing more than the size of the basin; The function of the toilet is in the thatched house in the southwest corner of the yard, and everyone goes there to solve it. The features are there, but the experience is a nightmare.

Thanks to the Mei family, the family lived in the East Wing. Mrs. May was indeed thoughtful, bedding, a change of clothes, teacups, teapots, towels, wooden basins were all prepared, and there were even bookshelves and pen, ink, paper and inkstones. Liu Yao inspected the office supplies of this era with great interest and found that the paper was very bad, rough and yellow, and plant fibers could be found everywhere on the paper. The two ladies were very disappointed with the toiletries, looked up and saw Liu Yao holding a piece of paper and frowned, and laughed: "Open a paper mill, the business opportunities are limitless."

"Hehe, that makes sense. However, paper mills can be opened, and the quality of paper has to be like this for a long time. High-quality paper must have acids and alkalis, and we will not have these things in the chemical industry for a long time. ”

"It's such a hassle for a piece of paper. The butt wiping paper of this era is really terrible. Liu Man said with a sad face.

"This issue could probably have been resolved sooner. I'll see what alternatives are available. Liu Yao nodded sympathetically. In short, we just want to be industrialists in this era. Come on, let's see what we can do. "Go back to the room and use your consciousness to open up the space to carry your belongings. A transparent cube appeared in the air, and it appeared relatively empty inside, with a faint milky white glow. This is the cubic meter of space, and all four people can use their consciousness to open it and reach in to get something, and only Liu Yao's family can see it. The time inside the space is static, and you can see a few pieces of cold ice placed inside, which always remain solid, which is the **** of high-quality pigs and sheep.

"Come, look at our baby! Let me tell you about the agriculture stuff in the treasure first. First of all, the high-yield rice seeds, more than double the current harvest, one mu can harvest 6-700 catties. When the land is bought, it is planted. Of course, I didn't bring enough amounts, only 100 grams, about 3,000 capsules. An acre of land requires 5 or 6 catties of rice, and it is only enough to plant 5% of an acre of land at most, that is, half a cent of land. Therefore, the first sowing was mainly supported by the plum landlords. ”

"How much rice can you harvest if you plant all these high-grade seeds?" Liu Man asked.

"Scientists have calculated that the theoretical maximum value of one mu is 900 catties, and 5% is 45 catties. I must take good care of this kind of child, if nothing else, it is estimated that there are always 3 or 40 pounds. ”

"How much land can you sow?"

"You don't know how to count? Less than ten acres, about seven acres. "Yao Ying has done finance, and the accounts are relatively fast. She was still worried about Liu Man after he came to this world.

"What about the seven acres that will be harvested again? How much can you plant? Liu Man still didn't bother to settle accounts.

"That's incredible! One acre of land is calculated as producing 600 catties, and only 5 catties of seeds are used for sowing. Liu Yao touched his daughter's head and replied: "That is to say, the output of one acre of land can be sown 120 acres, so the output of 7 acres of land can be planted at least 800 acres." ”

"After the third harvest, there will be a surplus of good seeds, and there will be enough paddy fields as many as possible." Yao Ying happily counted the accounts.

"Then you can spread out and eat!" Liu Man hurriedly said. "But that's a year and a half later. Alas. ”

"yes." Yao Ying touched the child's head, thinking about the days when she forced the children to eat eggs and fruits before coming, it was really like a world away.

"Hmm. Then there are the high-yielding potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn seeds. These things are suitable for dryland cultivation, which is cheaper, but these crops are not less productive than rice, and they are very profitable in comparison. ”

"Then there are high-yielding cash crops. There are oily rape, there are citrus, grapes, kiwi and these fruits. Yao Ying was also searching in the space.

"Delicious fruit." Liu Man said.

"It's not just a delicious fruit, it's a panacea to prevent scurvy in seafarers. We dried these fruits and ground them into food, so that seafarers would not be short of vitamins when they went to sea, and others did not know how we could do it. Looking at the golden sunlight that had just emerged from behind the clouds, Liu Yao said with satisfaction: "You see, such a strong sunshine can do a lot of things in agriculture. In fact, agriculture is a huge industry to this day, and it can give us a powerful boost. ”

"But in the world we came from, agriculture seems to have no influence," Liu Man said confusedly.

"That's because farmers have lost their right to speak, and can only passively wait for others to formulate policies and set prices." Liu Yao explained without worry, and then said: "I also brought seedlings of cinchona trees for malaria treatment, as well as seedlings of rubber trees. They will be of great use in the future. Especially cinchona, with this support, we were able to enter the jungle. ”

"Is there so much to carry in 1 kilogram?" Yao Ying asked strangely.

"It's actually only 900 grams. Because martial arts cheats account for 100 grams. I've been very selective about these things. For this, I quarreled with the expert group, hehe. Thinking that everyone could see what he was doing, Liu Yao grimaced at the sky.

As he spoke, Liu Yao picked up the printed book, which included almost all the knowledge of human beings. It looks like a roll of white silk and is very tough and strong. "With these things, with this martial arts secret, we only need three years to be invincible, and ten years to change the world. So, we all have to learn this knowledge in order to achieve these steps. From now on, we'll spend a few hours every night learning this. Fortunately, this thing can be ripped apart, and everyone reads a paragraph. ”

After getting used to the chirping of birds and beasts, industry and the world before it may actually be more suitable for human life, with fresh air and even a sweet taste. After dark, the family found that the days without mobile phones to play were so monotonous: swiping WeChat, Weibo, Taobao, and no longer being able to play. After dinner, I sat in the courtyard and watched the brilliant starry sky for a while, and my eyes were full of colors, and everyone's heart felt that it was filled with something. The family fell asleep quickly after washing, and woke up early the next day, with a complete change in their daily routine. Just opened my eyes and saw that my eyes were full of cultural relics, and the absence of modern civilization still made people feel a little weak, but fortunately, I brought a toothbrush from the past time and space, which was a comfort to Liu Yao's family. The toothbrush is a little cheat in this game: each garment comes with two toothbrush heads, which can also be used as spring heads to tighten the belt, and this excuse is brought over to get super smart approval - there is no rule that spring heads can't have bristles.

When the family was brushing their teeth, Mei Xiang happened to come over to deliver the washed clothes, looked at the brushing performance of the three people, hurriedly left, and when they arrived at the door, they turned around and asked, "Mr. Liu, what is the effect of this toothbrushing?" Liu Yao thought for a moment and replied: "Let the teeth not fall out." Mei Xiang bowed her head and said, "None of us take care of ourselves like this." Thank you, Mr. Liu. "Quietly gone. Liu Yao was left looking at the patio door in a daze, as if he had thought of something in his mind, but he couldn't grasp his thoughts.

After freshening up, Liu Man ran to his father energetically and asked, "What are we doing today?" Liu Yao thought about it and said to his wife and daughter: "Lifestyle is an important content for us to spread. Let's run. Liu Man protested loudly, and Yao Ying also said that she had undergone surgery on her knee and could not use it more. Liu Yao insisted: "Running must be persistent. From my own point of view, hygiene, exercise, and a reasonable diet are the keys to staying healthy. In this world, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines, and we must rely on ourselves. From the point of view of the mission, we are just going to spread the civilized way of life. In this way, I run 2 or 3 kilometers with Man, and my mother and I run slowly, and there is 1 kilometer. ”

The family came outside. The sun had not yet risen, the sky was already bright, and the air was cool and fresh. All around, the green sky was everywhere, and the white clouds lingered on the top of the hills in the distance. The dirt road in front of the Mei family's mansion was quiet, there was no one, even the stream flowed quietly, and there was not a single sound of water to be heard. In the fields, you can see in the distance, many people are already working. The father and daughter ran away, and their son Liu immediately began to point to the insects flying around and shouted excitedly: "Crawling insects!" Crawlers! ”

At the end of the morning run, Liu was still studying insects, and Liu Man was straightforward: "Dad, I'm hungry, let's go get breakfast." "The kitchen was empty and the stoves were cold. When I got out of the kitchen, I happened to meet Mrs. Mei, and when I saw that the father and daughter looked like they were looking for food, they were stunned for a moment, asked the reason, and hurriedly asked the two to come back, saying that they would be delivered in a while. Liu Yao arched his hand to Mrs. Mei and thanked her, Mrs. Mei pursed her lips and smiled, hurriedly returned the salute, and said softly: "Mr. Liu is a very fast learner. ”

Not long after, Mrs. Mei and Mei Xiang brought porridge and pickles, and said apologetically that they had left if they were not ready in time today. The family didn't care and quickly had breakfast.

The sun has risen and the sun is bright and dazzling. Liu Man took his younger brother out to play, Yao Ying and Liu Yao came to the hall and checked Mei Jiaju's legs. It looks straight, but it shouldn't have moved. "The wound is healing well. Now one is that the wound should not be inflamed, that is, it is red and swollen and pus, and the other is that the bone should not move. Jiaju's endurance is really good, and if it were me, I wouldn't be able to guarantee that I wouldn't move. Liu Yao reported the good news to Mrs. Mei, and asked, "Brother Mei went out early today, what are you doing?" ”

"He went to the county town to sell one of your pearls. It's a bit far, and I went out early. I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I didn't come to say goodbye to you. Mrs. May replied politely.

"Oh, it's so hard." Liu Yao was still not used to this kind of polite and thoughtful way of talking, except for thanking, he couldn't think of how to answer at once.

"Sister-in-law, I have something I want to ask. I wonder if our family can settle down here? Yao Ying seemed to have learned to speak overnight, which surprised everyone.

"Brother and sister, this matter has also been handled. After settling down, I have to buy some land in the next few days, and take advantage of the beginning of spring to sow seeds. Mrs. May said with a smile. Your family has experienced a lot of twists and turns, and now it seems that your appearance has not recovered, so you don't have to worry about other things, so let's have a good rest these days. ”

"Daddy! Father! We caught a golden pheasant! Liu Man grabbed a colorful bird with a long tail tightly in both hands and rushed in, his face flushed with excitement, his head was covered with leaves, followed by a boy of 14 or 5 years old, holding Liu Ze and running out of breath.

Mrs. Mei hurriedly took Liu Ze and handed it to Yao Ying, and reprimanded: "Zhao Fei, why are you taking other people's female dolls to catch birds?" Yao Ying tapped Liu Man's head and said, "I don't want to catch the brocade chicken." ”

The boy stood upright and replied, "Mrs. May." I didn't bring the chicken, but when I met the two of them, they were chasing the chicken in the woods. I just helped to hold the kids, and I also helped catch the brocade chicken. After that, he lowered his head and ran to chat with Mei Jiaju.

"Without your help, can the two of them catch it?" Mrs. May scolded with a smile.

Xiao Man ignored other people's discussions, shouted to Mei Xiang to find a cage to raise the golden chicken, and walked around the house with the prey, not knowing what to do. Liu followed behind and stretched his neck and shouted: "I still have to look at the hanging (the meaning of Ningbo dialect bird), but also look at the hanging hanging", and the house was also full of turns. Looking at a room full of children busy, smiles appeared on the faces of several adults.
