Yan Yan didn't know the careful calculations of the Lu family and the Yan family, anyway, she made up her mind that she would never let Lu You follow Lu Ming to the battlefield, as for the rest, I believe those people can't calculate her.

However, Yan Yan encountered a difficult thing in front of him, and he was a little hesitant.

The reason is that the red rice in the garden is ripe, because the planting area is not large, Shanhua and a mother-in-law took an hour to cut the rice, but the two mothers-in-law could not do the work of beating the rice, this is a large physical work, to hold the ears of rice and keep beating on a trapezoidal square barrel, and finally it took two big men two hours to complete.

It's also too inefficient.

No wonder the last time Yan Yan mentioned land reclamation, Li Cong's first reaction was the lack of labor, at that time Yan Yan didn't particularly understand, then she knew that ploughing land can be used with oxen, and there are tools such as plows and harrows, but she forgot that there is no threshing machine.

Yan Yan will definitely not be able to make the complex automatic threshing machine in later generations, but Yan Yan has seen an old-fashioned threshing machine in his grandmother's house, which is the kind that puts a roller in a square barrel, and then uses manpower to step on the transmission belt, drive the roller to rotate through the transmission belt, and use the roller rotation to help rice threshing.

But the problem is that Yan Yan only remembers a rough idea, because that thing has long been lost, and it is piled up in the warehouse as an antique.

Also, Yan Yan was worried that she would make this thing too bizarre, how would she explain it to the emperor and the world at that time?

Yan Yan, who was hesitant, finally gave up this matter, because Ma, who had not come to the door for a long time, came with Yan Tong.

This time, Ma sent a lot of things to Yan Yan, including baby clothes, quilts, diapers, small cradle beds, etc., in Ma's own words, she has prepared all the things she can wear when giving birth to a child.

"Don't worry, I've washed and dried it, and this little cradle bed was used when you were born, I remember that your grandparents made it themselves, you one, Yu'er, you see, it's fine now." Ma said as he pushed the cradle, and the cradle shook slightly, without making a sound.

Yan Yan recognized that this old thing was indeed used by the original owner, and it had been placed in his grandmother's room, after the grandmother died, the original owner moved out from there, but the cradle bed was not brought out, but he didn't expect it to be found and sent over by Ma after so many years.

"Thank you, auntie, for thinking." Yan Yan stepped forward and touched the cradle bed as well.

The cradle itself is made of rattan, about three feet long, more than two feet wide, and one foot deep, the front is woven with a bit of Ruyi pattern, and the four corners are hung on the four pillars with thick ropes, forming a cradle bed, which can be used as a cradle to coax children and sleep as a bed, which is enough for children to use until more than two years old.

Not to mention, this thing is indeed more practical, Yan Yan didn't even think of making one.

And she didn't have all those clothes and coverings, mainly because it was hot during this time, and her due date was still more than two months, so she wasn't in a hurry.

"This child, and my aunt are also polite, although you were not born by me, but in the end I also brought up, I know that you are busy, so I want to prepare it for you first, and I and Tong'er are idle." Ma Shi said as he pulled Yan Yan up and down.

"Mother, the eldest sister seems to have become beautiful again, and her face is tender and tender." After Yan Tong finished speaking, he leaned on Yan Yan and reached out to touch her face.

"The third sister is also more beautiful, tell the eldest sister, have you been to any rallies recently?" Yan Yan also touched Yan Tong's face.

Yan Tong is fourteen years old this year, and it should be the age to say goodbye, so she asked this question.

"Eldest sister, you really know how to ask, yesterday was Wu Xu's birthday, and we still talked about you." Yan Tong took Yan Yan's hand and walked to the edge of the kang, helped Yan Yan sit down, and then talked to Yan Yan about the party.

Only then did Yan Yan know that although the yield of the red rice she planted before was not high, the yield per mu was only 280 catties, which was not as good as ordinary rice, but she had successfully planted it after all, and this yield was higher than Li Cong's expectation.

When the news came out, the entire capital was boiling again.

There are very few boudoir women on the historical records, and it is estimated that Yan Yan is left by the historical records because of the crops.

"When did this happen, why haven't I heard about it?" Yan Yan was a little unconvinced.

On the first day of the first month of August, she also entered the palace to send a bucket of red rice to the queen mother and the emperor.

Why didn't the emperor send someone to inform her of such a big happy event?

"Look at this kid, happy stupid, right? That is, yesterday's incident, your uncle was happy and stupid when he came back from the next court, and he originally came to see you, but a few temporary Qingke people looked for him, saying that there was something urgent. Ma Shi looked at Yan Yan's stupid appearance, shook his head, and smiled.

"It's actually not that difficult, it's just that others haven't thought of it, and it's not special, right?" Yan Yan felt that it was a bit exaggerated.

Actually, what she didn't know was that she also stumbled by mistake.

Because she got the red rice late, so the planting time was also late, but it happened that she soaked it in warm water for three days, and because of this soaking process, the red rice germinated.

It turns out that the husk of this red rice is slightly harder than the husk of ordinary rice, and it needs to be soaked in warm water, and Yan Yan's sowing season is late, and this temperature and humidity are roughly in line with the sowing season in South Vietnam, so this red rice rice is successfully planted.

The previous people planted red rice rice together with ordinary rice, and the weather was still a little cool, especially at night, when the temperature was low and it was not soaked, so it was inevitable that the planting would not be successful.

It is said that some of them have been planted, but either the yield is low or the rice is deflated, so it has no meaning.

And this time, Yan Yan's yield per mu reached 280 catties, which was higher than the yield of wheat planted by ordinary people, so it was no wonder that Li Cong was happy.

"Eldest sister, it's not difficult for those who know it, but not for those who are difficult, you are smarter than most people, so there is almost no difficulty in your eyes, but for us ordinary people, it is sometimes more difficult to do a good job than to ascend to the sky." Yan Tong pouted and said.

"Oh, I don't know what the third sister wants to do, let's talk about it, and see if the eldest sister can help you." Yan Yan said as he pricked a piece of watermelon with a toothpick and handed it to her.

She just listened to Ma's meaning, many of those children's clothes were made by Yan Tong, and Yan Tong knew that she was pregnant and couldn't do hard work, so she made two pairs of shoes for her, one thin and one cotton, and it could be seen that she was attentive.
