Xu Lanzhou shook his head and said, "I can't read it, it's better to do things at home and let him read it when my little brother is well." He is smarter than me, and he is allowed to pass the examination for the Jinshi. ”

The attitude of the villagers towards Gu Wangchen stimulated Xu Lanzhou, and he desperately hoped that his family would also be promoted. But he knew that his reading talent was limited, and no matter how hard he worked, he couldn't pass the exam.

Xu Lanyin did not persuade again. The little silver earned today plus the money from selling the dowry is only enough to buy four acres of land, and the family has to support two sick people, so let's talk about it when the money is more.

Several people huddled on Qin's kang and laughed.

Xu Lanyin asked again about whether there are any chess cards in this era. She affirmed that the flying chess, checkers, and military chess in her previous life were introduced to China from abroad, and the time was relatively late, all after modern times. There must be a Go in this era, and they have a pair in their family, but I don't know if there is chess and mahjong in this era.

The Qin family is particularly well-informed, and probably talked about it. At this time, there was already a horse hanging, which was more similar to mahjong in the previous life. There is actually a phase chess, and the rules are basically the same as the chess in the previous life.

In addition to being disappointed, Xu Lanyin thought of chess again, there will never be one in this era. Xu Lan is not good at chess, and only knows some basic rules.

Checkers is simple and suitable for children to play, but there are so many chess pieces that are not easy to do. In the previous life, the chess pieces were glass marbles, and there was no glass in this life, at least the original owner had never seen glass. Grinding wood into small beads or "little people" is a bit time-consuming, and special tools are also needed, and they will be asked to help when Xu Dashi or Xu Lanzhou go to the carpenter shop to help.

Military chess is a bit more complicated than checkers and flying chess, but it is simpler than Go and chess. Xu Lanyin can make it quietly by herself. The planks for making the chessboard are already available, and then let Xu Lanzhou see some chess pieces.

The way chess is played is complex and changeable, and in the previous life, it was a "sports competition" project like Go and Xiangqi, and international competitions were to be held. The chessboard is easy to make, but the chess pieces still have to be made by carpenters.

It's easy to do any kind of chess, and once you know the rules of chess, the person who "invented" chess really can't make much money, so it's better to earn fame and fortune. In the future, how to make those three kinds of chess appear in the world, we must find the right opportunity.

However, judging from Qin's description of these, Xu Lanyin has a new understanding of her - Qin's background is definitely not low, and I don't know why she married Xu Qingyan, who is engaged in a special profession.

It wasn't until the Qin family was sleepy that the three sisters and brothers went to rest.

The defeated six acres of land earned back more than half, and successfully "hooked" up with the county master's family, Xu Lanyin slept soundly for the first time after crossing over.

The next day it rained lightly. Xu Lanzhou didn't go to the ground, took a few pieces of wood and fiddled under the eaves.

Xu Lanting begged his brother and sister to make him a vice bird chess, and he secretly played it at home.

Xu Lanzhou didn't do it, and taught him a lesson, saying that people can't stand without faith, and they promised that others would do it. What's more, it was the county master's son-in-law, and he couldn't afford to mess with him.

Xiao Zhengtai sat aside with his mouth crossed. Except for the much smaller wish, he doesn't have a good little friend.

Xu Lanyin quietly comforted, "Little brother is not angry, sister made you a delicious snack today, you have never eaten it." ”

She first drew a cartoon pig from her previous life, with a big head and a small body, which looks cute and simple to make, which is very different from the dolls of this era. She asked the Qin family to help her cut it out, make it herself, and send Miss Min to play in the future.

Qin Shi looked at the picture and laughed out loud, he didn't expect the pig to be so cute. She said, "Mother's body is much better, these two things are simple, Mother leans on the head of the bed and sews slowly." ”

Of course, this is better, Qin's craftsmanship has thrown itself a few streets. Xu Lanyin told her a few more precautions, telling her not to be tired, so she went to make snacks.

If you want the shop to do well, you have to have new products.

There are many kinds of traditional dim sum in this era, and even if she makes a few different ones, it is only a change on the original basis, and people can take a look and taste it.

West pastries with different craftsmanship are not easy for others to make. But bread needs high-gluten flour, and the flour of this era is ordinary flour, and the bread made is not fluffy, and the taste will not be good. At present, we can only make cake series, and the rest will wait until we find the raw materials.

Someone's cow in the west of the village gave birth, and Xu Lanyin went to buy a big bowl of milk with an umbrella. went to the big house to buy ten eggs, Gu pretended not to want money, but she still gave it to her brother as a clear account. He also made a homemade simple whisk out of thin bamboo strips.

Lemon juice is replaced with a few drops of vinegar, and there is no way to solve the problem with flavor, but green food has its own fragrance.

A chiffon cake was baked at the next day. She wasn't talking about cakes, she was talking about big cakes. If others ask, they just say that it is like making trough cakes, but the mold for decorating the snacks is larger.

As soon as Xu Lanyin took out the cake, Xu Lanting sniffed hard and shouted, "It's too fragrant." ”

Ever since the cake was put in the oven, Shota has been waiting by the fireside.

Xu Lanyin took a knife and cut a piece of each, and even the Qin family and Xu Lanzhou nodded straight after eating, saying that it was more delicious, soft and glutinous than the trough cake sold in the county seat, and the color was also better.

The Qin family cut a few more pieces and asked Xu Lanzhou to take them to the big house.

In the next few days, in addition to making snacks and cooking and laundry, he sewed clothes under the guidance of the Qin family.

Qin's health was not good, so he invited Gu to help several people in the second room cut a pair of clothes and a cotton shoulder, and let Xu Lanyin learn to sew. Although the original main needle and thread are not very good, the stitches are of different thicknesses, but they can always be sewn.

And as soon as the garment and the shoulder were made, the cloth was used up.

The second room has not made new clothes for many years, especially Xiao Zhengtai Xu Lanting, except for wearing new clothes when he was one or two years old, he has not worn them since he can remember.

The Qin family didn't want to do it for himself, but Xu Lanyin still insisted on doing it.

She made it for Xu Lanting first, and put it on him when it was done. The clothes of the children of poor families are made of fat and can be worn with padded jackets.

Xu Lanting dressed beautifully for a while and then took it off, "I'll wear it when I celebrate the New Year." ”

Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "I'll wear it when it's ready, and I'll make silk clothes for you when the New Year comes." ”

Xu Lanting obviously didn't believe it, but still insisted on taking off his new clothes.

Qin's and Xu Lanzhou's were not willing to wear it, and they had to wait for the New Year Festival or the time to visit the door before wearing it. Only Xu Lanyin wore it on his body, thinking that as long as he didn't do rough work, he would wear this new set of clothes. In the past few years, she has grown her body, and she is wearing old clothes that have been changed from Qin's clothes, Qin's is relatively petite, half a head shorter than the current Xu Lanyin, and her clothes are very uncomfortable tied to her body.

Xu Lanzhou's clothes were changed from Xu Qingyan's clothes, and Xu Lanting's clothes were changed from Xu Lanzhou's clothes. Both of their clothes were on the large side, only Xu Lanyin's clothes were thin and short, and they were also sideways.
