After sending the eggs back to the pantry, Yun went to the west wing to take out four clean sheepskin sacs, and went to the kitchen with Xue'er to pour hot water into the parchment sacs.

He took out a rectangular wooden frame in the wing room, wiped the wooden frame clean and put it on the kang head in Xue'er's bedroom, and spread the half-filled leather bag into the wooden frame.

When the temperature on the surface of the skin bag drops slightly higher than the temperature of the human body, the selected eggs are placed on the skin bag one by one, and finally covered with two thick layers of quilt.

When everything was done, Dong Changhe just came back from work.

The family of three had a warm evening meal, because Dong Changhe came back late, and they fell asleep after washing.

These days are the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and although Dong Changhe has already pruned the peach branches in the spring, there are still some buds left behind that need to be plucked.

Dong Changhe has his own unique methods in serving fruit trees, such as pruning fruit trees, general fruit tree pruning is divided into winter pruning and spring pruning, and occasionally a little pruning in summer and autumn, but mainly in winter and spring pruning.

Winter pruning is mainly to control the direction of the canopy, cultivate the main trunk, and control the number of branches.

Spring pruning is to supplement the deficiencies of winter pruning. The main purpose is to ease the growth of branches, promote the flowering and fruiting, so as to "keep flowers according to the branches, and determine the fruit by flowers", and finally achieve the effect of controlling the yield of each tree.

However, pruned fruit trees still need to be thinned at the time of flowering, and also need to be thinned after fruit set.

Because each tree has a different age and growth status, the yield it can withstand is also limited, which requires very experienced growers to control these according to the actual situation.

The work of rare flowers and rare fruits Yun also studied with Dong Changhe, and Xue'er went to agricultural university in modern times and is familiar with it.

Yun Shi gave Xue'er a little guidance and got started, and Yun also praised Xue'er for being smart and thorough.

In the past, when the flowers were scarce, those flowers that were thinned were thrown away, but this year, at the request of Xue'er, these flowers were left.

Yun can still do such a light job as a rare flower, and while thinning the flowers, he asked Xue'er: "Xue'er, what are you going to do with these picked flowers?" It's not on a branch, you can put a bottle. ”

Xue'er said with a smile: "Mother, the peach blossoms can be dried to make flower tea, and women can drink it to nourish their faces."

You can also wash and make peach blossom brew, dad has to make his own wine every year to give away, why not make some peach blossom brew, that is, do not waste these peach blossoms, and appear tasteful. ”

Yun also heard his mother say that the flowers were brewed, but he didn't drink it, and he immediately felt sorry for the peach blossoms that had been thrown away over the years: "Yes, my mother also heard your grandmother say it, but it's a pity why I didn't think of it?" ”

"Mother's mind is on the housekeeping, how can I pay attention to these little things, in fact, not only peach blossoms can be used to make wine, just like pear blossoms, cherry blossoms, osmanthus and so on, and even can make a hundred flowers brewed.

Mulberries, plums, grapes, and other fruits can also be used to make sake. Cher said truthfully.

"How does Cher know this?" Yun asked curiously.

"Isn't that what Daddy's study says in the book?" Cher replied unhurriedly.

Xue'er didn't lie, she read the codex compiled by Dong Changhe in Dong Changhe's study, and there was a lot of knowledge in the codex, including how to cultivate fruit trees, how to make wine, what kind of flower tea has what kind of use, and so on.

Dong Changhe learned a lot of crafts from his grandmother when he was a child, and he has sorted out those crafts over the years, including the craft of winemaking.

And every year he will brew some of his own, and when the time comes, he will use it to give away. Dong Changhe himself likes to drink a little, but he doesn't like it very much, it's just used to be elegant.

The grains used to make wine here are generally glutinous rice and yellow rice, which are also cultivated by the Dong family.

"Xue'er has learned a lot of words recently, and she has to catch up with her mother!" In fact, the Yun family is a little proud, she is a person who is strong in everything, and in her opinion, the children she gave birth to are all good, and they should all be top-notch in everything.

So she is still very satisfied with Xue'er's recent learning momentum and results.

Before Xue'er learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and embroidery, she was still a little apprehensive, and then she understood Yun's mentality, so she was relieved to perform boldly.

She was afraid that the husband and wife would uphold the mentality that a woman is virtuous if she was not talented, and it would be bad if she objected to her study.

Recently, she learned that this Daxi Dynasty did not appear out of thin air, but history changed when the Celestial Dynasty was XX, and then there was no country in the history she was familiar with, and the Xuanyuan family directly laid down this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and established a dynasty.

She was almost certain that it was a parallel plane.

Although XX has experienced a relatively open dynasty, women's social status has not changed much because of XX, on the contrary, because of the emergence of a female emperor, men are more afraid of women.

Many big families have begun to restrain their wives and daughters, for fear of a strong woman like the empress.

Fortunately, although Dong Changhe and his wife are patriarchal, the education of their daughters is still very relaxed, unlike ordinary people here who do not let their daughters read and learn calligraphy, but only let them learn housework.

This made Cher feel extremely lucky.

Her soul comes from that era of relative freedom and openness, and she really can't do it if she really wants to be blind.

Fortunately, she herself is a person who likes to stay at home, and she likes the comfortable and uncontested life in the countryside, otherwise she will say goodbye to her mobile phone, goodbye to the Internet, and goodbye to the bright lights...... Not everyone can adapt to it all at once.

The thoughts in her mind passed away, she smiled sweetly, and said to the Yun family: "Mother is a versatile woman, Xue'er is still a lot behind you, and there is a lot to learn." ”

Yun is indeed a smart person, she learns everything quickly, and recently she is still studying the books that Zhou Yihe took the name of.

She will apply those heavenly stems and earthly branches once she looks at them, and she can be described as having a super high IQ.

It's a pity that Yun's emotional intelligence is a little low, and he is a moody person.

Yun was praised by Xue'er, and the corners of his mouth smiled.

"Well, people can't be proud, although you are smart, don't forget that pride is unacceptable, you must persevere, and set a good example for your brother in the future.

Your father is a loose character, if he wants to teach the child a day or two, but if he persists for ten years, he will lose that patience.

Fortunately, he has an extraordinary memory, otherwise the books he read would have been forgotten long ago. If you don't understand anything, you can ask him, and that's all he can do. Yun complained that her husband did not feel empty at all, even in front of his daughter.

Xue'er consciously closed her mouth, she knew that the Yun family could say that Dong Changhe was not good, but others couldn't.
