As things went smoothly in the fields and there was no need to worry about it, Liu Yao's father and daughter shifted their interests, almost no longer going to the fields, no longer catching fish and animals, and wandering around the village all day long, not coming back until dark. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yao Ying plans the kitchen and bathroom at home as she gradually restores her standard of living in the 21st century. In her design, running water, sewers and toilets are must-haves, the only thing that needs to be determined is whether the toilet is squatting or sitting, considering that the natural gas is too far away, she has no clue about the transformation of the wood stove for the time being, and she rummages through the secret book all day looking for the type of stove.

"I know how long this secret is, just a hundred meters." Yao Ying announced to the father and daughter who were having breakfast.

"What do you see behind that? You can't use any of those things. When the time comes, it will be in a hurry. Liu Yao asked strangely.

"I was looking for a convenient stove for this era. It turned out that it didn't! What secrets do you think you've prepared? Not even a stove. There is only production technology, not life technology. Yao Ying complained.

"Oh, you mean the stove at home. There are other furnaces, such as those that burn glass and cement for steelmaking. Liu Yao didn't take his wife's complaints seriously.

"There's also a tempering furnace or something, which is used to make weapons." Liu Man was also actively reading the secret book, and remembered a stove again.

"Those stoves can't cook. Every morning I make a fire that makes me die of exhaustion. And you can't keep the fire burning from night to morning, not to mention waste, someone has to add firewood. Yao Ying was very helpless.

"yes, quality of life things are thought about too little. I'm going to figure out how to improve your kitchen technology. Liu Yao raised his head and thought for a while, and said: "I grew up in the mountains of Guizhou when I was a child, and there were matches sold on the street, probably as thick as chopsticks, as long as half chopsticks, all of which are greasy parts of the pine tree. I'll get you some of this. ”

"The firewood stove is still very troublesome, the ignition still has to have technology, I light the fire every day is lucky, if you are lucky, you can burn it three times, and if you are unlucky, you will have to burn it many times. When it is lit, there must be someone to continue to add firewood. It's all tears. You don't help me. The panel of experts clearly didn't take into account our quality of life. ”

Liu Yao hurriedly said with relief: "It is estimated that this is the case for burning firewood." In this era, it may be that charcoal burning is faster and simpler. When we have money, we will burn charcoal every day! ”

Yao Ying complained: "I used to be tired from work, but now you are good, you don't work or help me do things, and you travel the mountains and rivers full-time all day long." ”

"Aren't we going to get acquainted with the environment? Don't complain, you call me every morning, and I'll take care of the fire. Liu Yao hurriedly ate breakfast, took a small hoe and pinned it to his body, and was about to go out with a machete in his hand.

"I can make a fire too! I don't know much yet, though. Liu Man put a bamboo tube filled with water and a cloth bag filled with rice balls on his body, and followed his father out.

"You ran away again? It depends on Xiaomei's wounds! ”

"Out of the way, I've seen it in the morning!" The voice of the answer was already far away.

The father and daughter had to go out early, and today they asked Zhao Fei to be their guide to explore the neighboring villages in the lower reaches of the Shilu River. It is estimated that the young man will be waiting at the door of Mei's house as soon as it is dawn. After a few days of exploration, from the Shilu River to the east to the primeval forests on the outskirts of the village, a map of the accessible range centered on Meijia Village has covered the village of Chahe in the east. When I go to other villages, I still feel a little dangerous when there is no one to lead the way.

The Shiroku River flows from the west, flows eastward into the sea, and after flowing through the Jijie Mountain, it enters the alluvial plain formed by itself, widening the channel and slowing down the water potential. Summer is getting in, and children are already swimming in the river.

Liu Yao's field is on the north bank of the river, and Meijia Village is on the south bank of the river. The fact that the river has to be crossed every day is also the reason why the price of that field is relatively low. Usually, everyone crosses the river by a row of large stones in the river, that is, Tingbu. If there is a lot of water, Tingbu will not only be impassable, but it may also be washed away, and it will have to be rebuilt after the water is small. Zhao Fei didn't take the two of them to Tingbu, found a shallow place to wade across the river, and came to the north bank.

The three of them walked and stopped, and Liu Yao looked through the stones on the ground from time to time, or went to the foot of the cliff to knock on a stone to see, and then took out a piece of deer skin and drew a few strokes on it with a piece of charcoal. From the perspective of the world, this is a very loose map, because all distance relationships are judged by feeling. But right now, it's the most perfect map in the world. There is no way to use this kind of map based on feelings, Liu Yao does not have enough manpower to do accurate surveying and mapping, although the children in the village are running around needlessly, but there is no way to organize it for my use, so I can only draw it wherever I go according to the distance formed by the map when I draw it during land consolidation, and strive to form a simple map that can be used as soon as possible.

Zhao Fei led a road along the north bank of the Shilu River, along the way the land was flat, although there were dense trees, but they were not tall, and it looked like it could be cultivated for fields, but it was not used.

Passing through a dense thicket of trees, a cliff rises in front of me, and it is impossible to move any further. Liu Yao looked at the towering cliff and asked, "Zhao Fei, I'm afraid there are hundreds or thousands of acres of flat land we walked on, right?" Why is it not used? Who does it belong to? ”

"Sir, the land I walked through just now is an ownerless wasteland, whoever reclaims it can go to the government to register. This piece is afraid that there are more than 2,000 acres. On the left side of the land is the river, on the right side is the mountain, and this mountain turns in front of us from the right, and the mountains and rivers will come to water the land, which is good, but it is washed away by a flood once a year, and it is completely impossible to grow crops, so it has been barren. ”

Liu Yao looked at the traces of the water level left by the river on the cliff, the highest place was the height of a person, pondered for a moment, and shook his head. Zhao Fei said again: "On the other side of this cliff, there is Fork River Village. Even Huang Yuan, who loves to occupy the land, has never come to the idea of fighting this land. It's because you have to draw a map that I brought you here. The village roads are on the south bank of the river, where the terrain is higher, and the water cannot be washed away, so you can grow grain. ”

Liu Yao nodded and asked Zhao Fei, "This cliff is so high, how can we go to Fork River Village?" ”

Zhao Fei went to the grass by the water for a while, found a hemp rope, dragged it hard, dragged out a small boat, and said: "Yesterday, Mr. said that he was going to Fork River Village, so I hid a boat here. ”

Liu Man was greatly surprised, happily jumped into the boat, lost his balance and almost fell into the water.

The boat goes down the river without people rowing, and the speed is not slow. The woods on both sides of the bank are dense, the branches and leaves cover the clouds, the water surface is drooping, and all kinds of birds and beasts pass through it, and the feathers and feathers are gorgeous. From time to time, fish jumped up on the surface of the water, made a loud noise, and splashed a splash. On the banks of the river, crabs, soft-shelled turtles and otters can be seen everywhere, especially otters always raise their shiny little eyes to stare at people, which is very cute.

The father and daughter looked at each other, shaking their heads and sighing constantly, sighing for a while that it was so beautiful, and regretting that they didn't bring their mother and brother with them.

Liu Man asked worriedly, "Dad, in a few years, will we change these scenes?" ”

"Probably not. According to my estimates, it will be 30 years before the landscape changes on a large scale, and even if it happens, it will not be us. Of course, I will formulate a very strict environmental protection and land planning policy to protect this wonderful land. In the woods and rivers, there are at least dozens of animals that have become extinct in that world. They should be protected. ”

Looking at the lush nature in front of you, the river turns and opens, and you can see a large expanse of vast fields through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and it seems that the cliff just now is the dividing point between the hilly area and the alluvial plain.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Yao said to his daughter again: "But for now, we need to pay more attention to our own development and safety." You see that there is so much land in Chahe Village, which can accumulate more wealth and population, and this village is our close neighbor and strong neighbor, so we must have a good relationship. And Qiongzhou Mansion and the Ming Dynasty are ten million times stronger than our two villages, and we have a lot of things to worry about. ”

As he spoke, the boat sailed out of the river bay, and Fork River Village was indeed more advanced than Meijia Village, and there was a wharf. The green river is soaked in bluestone steps, and several village women squat on it to do laundry, which is an idyllic scene.

Zhao Fei greeted the woman he knew well, tied the boat and took the father and daughter ashore. There is a slight street market on the river, and a grocery store and a porcelain shop are more eye-catching. Zhao Fei introduced: "Our village can make wine, and people here can burn porcelain. It's closer to the dock by the sea, and merchants trade their goods in this grocery store. ”

"And a dock by the sea?" Liu Yao asked with interest.

"The dock is not small. Every year, there are ships from Fanbang that come to trade with us, and everyone goes. ”

There are not many kinds of things in the grocery store, mainly tools and farm tools from the blacksmith shop. Liu Yao picked up a few pieces and looked at them, all of them were marked with the word Yu, and he couldn't judge the quality of the steel, which was estimated to be similar to that used in Meijia Village, not much better. The shop also has a white sugar wrapped in yellow paper and wine in a porcelain jar, and a few snacks that are also wrapped in yellow paper and pasted with a red paper, but unfortunately the three people have no money in their pockets, so they have to look at it. Liu Yao carefully asked the price and found that the price of iron was quite high, and the price of white sugar was not high. It seems that people in this era have mastered the technology of making white sugar, and there is one less way to make money.

After looking at the grocery store, Zhao Fei led the two to the porcelain workshop. This is a typical pattern of the front shop and the back factory, behind the shop is the workshop, and people can smell the smell of charcoal burning in the back while they are still in the store. The porcelain shop is quite disappointing, that is, some cups, plates, bowls and spoons, the shape is the same as that of later generations, and it is not as rich as that of later generations. Walking through the shop, you are entering the workshop, and the most striking thing is that there is a dragon kiln lying diagonally, and the output looks quite small. The father and daughter watched the porcelain-making process from beginning to end with great interest. Liu Yao asked Zhao Fei to introduce him to the master and asked how big the utensils could be burned. The master asked how big the thing needed to be burned, Liu Yao had to tell the other party that it was a one-foot-thick pipe, how long it could be burned, and the master said that one foot was no problem, but it could only be burned to three feet. Liu Yao then asked how much it cost to make porcelain. In fact, he still has no idea about the currency of this era, but he can still tell that the sewer will become a luxury product.

After thanking the master, the three of them left the porcelain shop, found a high place with shade by the river, and sat down on a high place with shade, while looking at the scenery of Fork River Village, and took out lunch to eat. In fact, there is nothing to see in Chahe Village, except for a little more houses, which are almost exactly the same as Meijia Village.

After lunch, Zhao Fei helped pack up the bamboo tube for drinking water, and asked: "Sir, I see the two things you asked the master master, is it to burn a big pipe in a kiln?" What is this for? ”

Liu Yao liked this clever child very much, touched his head and said with a smile that he would understand when the time came, and now the secret of heaven must not be revealed. The three of them laughed a few words and got on the boat, rowing back with their oars. They didn't notice that at the place where they had eaten just now, a fat man with a few people was looking at the boat condescendingly.

Since Sun Zhenggang saw the effect of bone meal and compost, he has thrown himself into Liu Yao, and almost every day he comes to report on the things in the field, and sometimes he can't meet Liu Yao, so he squats under the eaves and waits. Generally, after waiting for about thirty minutes and not seeing anyone, Sun Zhenggang stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll come back tomorrow" and went back, which made Yao Ying always feel very guilty.

As soon as Sun Zhenggang's back disappeared that day, Liu Yao's father and daughter came back with sweaty faces.

"You know how to come back! Sun Zheng has just been waiting for you for a day! There are snakes, wild boars, Shiba dogs, and bears in the mountains! Mrs. May said that she was very scared, so you can't stop a little? Yao Ying browled tightly.

As always, the father and daughter duo take a policy of ignoring the nagging and focus on the loot they find.

"Liu Man, go and make a good record, this is limestone, this is kaolin, it is porcelain clay, and it can burn porcelain, cement and refractory bricks for steelmaking furnaces."

"It's so useful! developed. ”

"Actually, it's all common minerals, hehe. Limestone, in particular, is found all over the world. Valuable is this! Iron ore! Even if I only found one piece, it was also very important information. Liu Yao put the minerals on the shelf, watched his daughter mark the location of various minerals on the map she had drawn, and then took his wife and said, "Mrs. Mei will be afraid of wild beasts?" The bears were afraid of being eaten by her. Sun Zhenggang's affairs are not delayed, the rice has nothing to worry about in the past few months, just let it grow. If there are pests and diseases, with our current ability, we can only cry. You see, I'm not going with the youngest son of the Zhao family. With this native wild boy here, you can rest assured. ”

"Rest assured? Isn't there still a wild boy from the Mei family who was born and raised? Yao Ying was still angry.

"Hehe, speaking of the wild boy lying down, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't know where to find food." Liu Yao pushed back the words. "Besides, we're not playing, we're not familiar with the surrounding mountains and rivers, and if we don't find the minerals we need, what should we do with the next step of construction and defense?"

While Yao Ying was quiet, the father and daughter lay on the table and finished eating in a while. The two of them quickly took a cold shower and fell asleep within five minutes.

"Hey, let me tell you, our rice grows so well, the whole Meijia Village is saying that you know how to spell. The landlord of Mei has also come to you several times. ”

"Got it. I'll go find him tomorrow. Liu Yao replied in a daze.

"He'll come to you tomorrow." Liu Yao did not answer, and already made a slight snoring sound. When I first got married, my husband fell asleep when his head touched the pillow like this, and he couldn't wake up when he shouted, such a good sleep made Yao Ying, who had been insomnia, very envious. Now Yao Ying is also a little sleepy, judging from the situation a few days ago, except for the first night, she slept quite soundly in the back, but she didn't expect her sleep to be restored in this world.
