Yun Zheng was digging the ground with a hoe, he was going to plant a little barley this year, as a Northwest person, he was really not used to eating rice, and he wanted to change a little flour, but there was no one here.

My own land is on the mountainside, there is no pond, and it is not realistic to want to grow rice, I used to hear that people raise fish in the rice fields, and the fish raised are also called rice fish, which is delicious, and look at the rice fields of other people's houses There is nothing, and I will never think of it.

Rape must be planted, it has been planted in winter, and now it is more than a foot tall, and the leaves have grown dark green and fat, indicating that the fertility in the field is very good.

Yun Zheng was digging the ground in front, and the bacon was picking out the grass roots dug out behind, as for Yun Er being chasing butterflies non-stop, his technique was very skillful, and the bamboo tube was estimated to be filled with white butterflies, I don't know what he would do with some butterflies.

A piece of mountain land three meters wide and twenty meters long was quickly dug up, and when Yun Zheng looked up, he found that a morning had slipped away quietly.

The bacon took the bamboo tube filled with water to Yun Zheng, and took a small shovel to dig wild vegetables in the rape field, both brothers like to eat wild vegetables, which made the bacon very puzzled, good mustard greens, celery, burdock don't like to eat, but like those worthless wild vegetables, she all regarded these quirks as the taste of a scholar.

The mountain is too high, the old cow can't climb up, in order to grind the ground, Yun Zheng and bacon carry the rope on their backs and pull the rake hard to walk in front, Yun Er sat on the rake and held a thin willow branch and kept shouting for the two of them to hurry up, he couldn't sit comfortably.

The mother-in-law of the lame family passed by the field of the Yun family, took out a small bundle of leeks from the basket and put it on the edge of the bamboo tube, and the eldest child of his family could already count from one to twenty, which was a thank you gift.

After grinding the ground, just wait for the planting tomorrow, and the fog in the mountains will bring abundant water to the land overnight. Like other people's families, Yun Zheng walked barefoot in front with a rake and a hoe, wearing a blue cloth handkerchief on his bacon, carrying a basket in his hand, and Yun Er in the bamboo basket on his back.

"Let's eat leek-stuffed dumplings today." Yun Er saw that there were leeks in the basket, licked his lips, and suggested to Yun Zheng.

"No noodles, you eat a ghost dumpling." Yun Zheng refused angrily, just now those women said that their family of three was like a young couple carrying a fat doll to work in the field.

The bacon raised his head, the blush on his face had not faded, and he whispered to Yun Zheng: "Young master, I don't know if rice noodles are okay?" ”

"Let's try," Yun Zheng replied casually, and continued to open the way in front.

Just walked through the pond of the patriarch's house, Yun Zheng stopped with a sigh, I didn't expect there to be blue indigo here, this is a good thing, it is best to use it to make dyes, Yun Zheng threw down the rake and hoe, and pulled out all these wild blue indigo, although the leaves have not grown to the maximum, but now this appearance should be able to be used.

"Young master, our family doesn't dye cloth, what do you want these blue indigo for?" Bacon watched Yun Zheng continue to carry the farm tools and the bundle of blue indigo and walked home, and asked curiously.

"Make something as a gift for someone, bacon, can you tie-dye it?"

"No, I heard that ten years ago, the official family ordered the farmers not to print and dye cotton cloth without permission, saying that such things are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and we are not allowed to use them, so we can only pay some tribute to the palace."

Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect bacon to be able to say such a thing, and it can't be used if you tie-dye it well? It can only be used by royalty, why?

"Bacon, is this rule strictly enforced?"

"It's not strict, there are few people who can, tie-dyeing can be troublesome, it takes five days for a cloth to tie flowers alone, sometimes the color of the tie out is not good-looking, messy, it is better to dye all blue. I heard that the people of Dali on the other side of the mountain are experts in tie-dyeing. ”

Listening to the words of bacon, Yun Zheng smiled, it turned out that the crux of the problem was here, tie-dyeing is indeed a very haode craft, which is most suitable for women to learn, since the royal family banned this craft because tie-dyeing was time-consuming and labor-intensive, now as long as I improve it, I don't have this worry? Besides, the emperor may be guarding against the economic invasion of Dali, not these small people under his command.

When she returned home, the bacon helped Yun Zheng clean the blue indigo and stuff it into the jar to soak, and then went to the mill with a small dustpan of brown rice, she was going to grind a little more rice flour and spread some flour skin, I don't know if such a thing is not in line with the young master's wishes.

Yun Zheng went straight to his new house, the new house was completely up, under his strong suggestion, the old patriarch did not open the skylight on the roof, but also added windows to the house, as long as the window paper was pasted, you can move in.

The ground is full of one-foot-square stone bricks, Cang'er is an expert in this work, he can use stones to pave all kinds of beautiful patterns, the color of the stone is different, and the patterns spelled out are not the same, Yun Zheng likes the freehand tiger in the hall the most, the majestic momentum is extraordinary, as long as he is free, he will come to see.

The doors and windows are all open, standing in the door and looking up at the faint green hills, the misty scenery is in full view, and I really don't know what to do with those things outside the world when I have such a free day.

The bacon came back with a pot of rice milk, spread out a piece of white powder skin on the grate, and hung it on the bamboo pole outside, and after a while, it was blown by the wind and made it soft and tough, watching the bacon hurriedly adjust the leek egg filling, Yun Zheng took it with a smile, filled a little stuffing in his mouth and tasted it, preventing the bacon from adding pepper to it.

"It's good to add salt to the dumplings with three fresh fillings, and it's good if there is frosting, but adding other seasonings will ruin the filling of this pot."

The bacon watched the young master add a lot of vegetable oil to the big iron pot, which made her very distressed, a basin-sized rice noodle skin The young master added a lot of stuffing to it, and then folded it in half and pasted the corners with raw rice flour, and put this huge dumpling in it when the vegetable oil was warm.

As the skin of the dumplings turned golden brown, the aroma overflowed, and Yun Er, who was playing with Yun San, immediately ran over, glanced at the pot, and shouted: "Leek box", and never left the cauldron again.

The first leek box was eaten by three people, and then he eagerly looked forward to the second one, although Yun San also wanted to eat, but this time no one was willing to give up his share, even Yun Er, who liked Yun San the most, was unwilling, it could only stick out its tongue and lie at the mouth of the bamboo building and look out of sight.

A stranger came, and Yun San immediately vented his anger at him for not having eaten, and he didn't dare to go downstairs, so he stood on the platform and barked at the stranger.
