Su Qingluan guessed not wrong at all, today's meal was served, but it was the "dessert after meal" of jam and yam puree that was the most popular.

Of course, Su Qingluan thought that it was not only the sweet and sour yam paste that was appetizing, but also made the mouth that everyone had no taste for a little more change in taste.

What's more, the iron stick yam has a soft and glutinous taste, and after being fully steamed, the original tongue-numbing taste has disappeared, and the ingredient itself is rich in starch, which is suitable for staple food, which is naturally more friendly to everyone's red and swollen throat than those dry rice steamed buns.

So not to mention that Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan are happy to eat, even the two adults, Su Guangfu and Yang, can't stop eating.

After eating, Su Guangfu and Yang washed the dishes and chopsticks together and cleaned up the room briefly, while Su Qingluan took the two little ones in thick clothes to take a walk in the yard to eat—of course, the two "little tails" in the back and Su Qingluan needed to be separated from each other to prevent illness.

Su Qingluan does not encourage the way of recuperating from lying in bed all day - rest is important, but proper activity and labor can help the limbs regain strength and also help increase appetite.

Therefore, as long as his physical strength allows, Su Qingluan hopes that several patients in the family will be active properly.

Originally, the Yang family also said that they would help Su Qingluan cook the soup for a family of four from tomorrow, so that she would not be busy alone, but Su Qingluan joked with a smile: "A-Niang, if you are really too busy, it is a big deal that I will let the little medicine boy get it for me with two silvers in any pharmacy, which can be done for me, saving effort and time." ”

Yang sighed: "Your silver money is not blown by the wind, you can save some money." ”

Su Qingluan disagreed: "This money is necessary to spend - A-Niang, you think, this money can buy me leisure, and it can also keep me from making mistakes in my busyness, why not do it?" ”

"It's because my father and I are sick at the same time that you toss like this......"

Seeing Yang's guilty face, Su Qingluan had a headache and said, "Eh, Auntie, don't be like this, aren't we family?" Do you want me to blame myself like this when I'm sick? ”

"That's different, you are our daughter, so naturally you should be taken care of by us."

"Where are so many 'shoulds'?" Su Qingluan wanted to pull Yang's hand, but the other party was afraid of illness and dodged away, Su Qingluan said helplessly, "Between family members, it is appropriate to take care of each other, but there is no need to blame yourself and feel guilty like this." ”

Seeing that the Yang family was eager to kneel down for her, Su Qingluan simply felt a lot of pressure.

Facts have proved that no matter how strong Yang is, he wants to stay and do more, but generally speaking, there will be more or less some sleeping and sleep aids in the decoction to help patients have a better and better sleep state to better recuperate.

So Su Qingluan saw A-Niang, who was still "arrogant" and sharing more housework one moment, and yawned the next moment.

And the younger brother and sister who were eating in the yard for a few laps were also a little sluggish because they drank the decoction.

Although Daddy was not in the field of vision, Su Qingluan didn't have to think about it to know what state he was in now, so she simply waved her hand to drive people away, and asked all the big and small patients to hurry up and wash up and lie down on the bed to rest while they were sleepy.

On my side, because my father and mother have almost cleaned up the kitchen, I don't need her to do anything more. Su Qingluan thought of the "thank you gift" she planned to give Mu Xingzhi, thinking that she had already troubled the other party many times, and it was better to come up with something more practical.

After thinking about it, Su Qingluan suddenly remembered that when he took the carriage to Xie Mansion before, when he first entered through the side door, he had actually seen the stable where horses were raised.

Then Su Qingluan noticed that whether it was a horse that was led out for a walk or grazing in the stable, there seemed to be no such thing as stirrups.

Later, she also discussed the issue of "stirrups" with Mu Xingzhi, but was understood by the other party as a "horse stool" - after Su Qingluan's inquiry, she learned that the "horse stool" here is not the same thing as the iron frame stool used in the construction of the modern definition, but a small stool used by the upper and lower horses to step on.

Of course, the function of this "stool" is sometimes replaced by a living person - Su Qingluan was fortunate to see it, and it also left an unknown psychological shadow.

Through this conversation, Su Qingluan realized that although there were already protective gear for horses in this era, they were all very crude - if you think about it carefully, even on the historical line she knew in her previous life, the armament of the "cavalry" seemed to be after the Yuan Dynasty.

The Sheng Dynasty of this era probably did not experience large-scale cavalry harassment, and the horse's protective gear was at most used to "control the horse's head" or "arrange the seat" such as bridle saddles.

As for the more detailed iron horseshoe and iron stirrups, there are no such thing - the most important thing is that the smelting technology of steel is not very mature, and there is no way to produce fine iron in large quantities, so it is natural to concentrate iron tools on weapons such as spears and swords.

As for the protective gear of the horses, they can only "settle for the second".

So, Su Qingluan recalled that he spent his time in modern times watching the kind of video of nailing horseshoes, drawing the shape and purpose of the horseshoe with drawings, and drawing the stirrups on both sides.

After thinking about it, although she didn't remember it very clearly, she had heard it once—ancient people used to collect human and animal urine as a liquid to replace water when forging iron tools and "quenching".

Su Qingluan knew that this was probably to use the salt originally present in the urine to make the forged fine iron stronger, but she was not thick enough to talk about the heavy topic of "the wonderful use of human and livestock urine" with a person of the opposite sex who was not particularly familiar with and had a faint affection.

Therefore, as for the improvement of forging iron, she only vaguely said that she could "try other methods besides white water, such as liquor, such as salt water" and so on.

In fact, Su Qingluan had long wanted to give these suggestions to Mu Xingzhi, but he had been hesitating - after all, these suggestions were suggestions to improve the strength of the opponent's individual soldiers, that is, to increase the killing value of the opponent's entire force.

Even if he had never seen it with his own eyes, Su Qingluan also understood that in ancient times, princes and generals would burn, kill, loot and attack each other for the sake of profit, and in the end, it was the common people who were unlucky.

In contrast, of course, it is a wise and benevolent ruler who can make the people under his rule more comfortable and contented.

Originally, Su Qingluan didn't care who was the emperor who was on top - the so-called mountain emperor was far away, and she was a peasant girl and had nothing to do with the palace on top.

However, the situation of this autumn harvest left a deep impression on Su Qingluan - the ancient "tax" and the so-called "payment of personal income tax" of modern social animals are completely different concepts!

For the first time, Su Qingluan intuitively felt why the taxes in many periods of ancient times were called "harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes" - they could really collect most of the farmers' annual harvest!

She had heard more than once that many people could not keep enough food for the next year's seeds after the autumn harvest because of the severe taxes, resulting in insufficient harvests and making life even more miserable.

Since you can't live horizontally and vertically, why not just play with a big vote?
