Chapter 18: What's the use of you as a woman?

When Ye Sang came back, he just heard Zhao Dashu's words of contempt for women.

She was slightly unhappy in her heart, and the laughter of Zhao Lu, the second master of Zhao, came over.

"Although my daughter-in-law Ye Sang is a girl, she knows a lot, and she is indeed more capable than me." Second Master Zhao Lu said with a smile, not minding other people's sarcasm at all.

Ye Sang didn't speak in a hurry, and echoed: "Everyone in our family has their own division of labor. My father-in-law only needs to preside over the overall situation now, wait for food and drink, and take care of his life. ”

"Oh, it's like how good your family is."

Zhao Shudun became even more sour when he heard Ye Sang's words. They are all peasant families, so he doesn't believe that Second Master Zhao can take care of anything.

"Alright, let's talk about the homeless." Li Zheng glared at Zhao Shudun.

Not long after escaping the famine, the village was not facing the stage of having no food for the time being, but it encountered the displaced people for the first time.

The affairs of the displaced people can be big or small, and no one can ignore them at all.

"After that, everyone slept together at night, with the elderly, children, and women in the middle. One person from each family guards the village at night. Uncle Zhao Fu was the first to speak.

"Actually, it doesn't need so many people, 60 people a night, and it is enough to change shifts three times." Ye Sang cleared his throat and said his opinion.

When Zhao Shudun heard Ye Sang's words, he immediately blocked back: "What do you know?" If you don't find more people to watch, what if the food is stolen? ”

"That's it, you're a woman, don't talk too much."

There were also people in the village who thought Ye Sang was whimsical and ridiculed her.

Only Li Zheng paused with Uncle Zhao Zhao Fu and encouraged Ye Sang to continue.

"The displaced people are mostly a minority, with families as a team. When they see someone patrolling, most of them will not dare to do it easily. So you only need two people at a time, standing at each of the ten corners of the circle. ”

Ye Sang drew a circle on the ground with a wooden stick, indicating that the circle represented the people in the village. She also dotted ten symmetrical dots on the circumference of the circle, and placed two stones on each to act as a person.

"At night, the people of the ten places were armed with torches, enough to see each other's light, and the homeless people generally did not dare to break in."

"And what if it's bandits?" Uncle Zhao Fu pointed to the circle on the ground and asked.

Ye Sang's idea is good, but it can't be used to deal with bandits.

"So that's why people on patrol need to carry a basin that they can knock on, and a basin to keep next to the villagers when they sleep."

Before Ye Sang finished speaking, Li Zheng and Uncle Zhao Zhao's eyes lit up.

To tell the truth, if they run into bandits, they villagers will not be able to defeat them at all. Unless the whole village is unanimous in the outside world, there is a little possibility of winning.

"As long as the basin makes a sound, everyone can be awakened and can rise up together to catch the thief! Seems pretty good. ”

Everyone looked at Ye Sangde's eyes, and they instantly brightened.

Who said that women are useless!

Ye Sang's method is very wonderful! And in one night, the three people rotate, which will not delay sleep, and will not drag down the village's schedule.

"Ye San, you're so smart!"

Zhao Shudun praised, completely forgetting that he had just said that Ye Sang was useless.

Early the next morning, the patrol system in the village came down.

There are about 300 families in the village, and each family only needs one person, and they patrol only once every five days, for two hours at a time, and everyone is very satisfied.

The second room of the Zhao family was originally patrolled by Zhao Erye, but was stopped by Ye Sang.

"Dad, I know how to do some work. And I've gone on patrol to see if this idea works. Besides, I have one more thing I want to trouble you. ”

Second Master Zhao was still a little disappointed when he heard Ye Sang say that he didn't need to patrol, but when he heard that Ye Sang was going to trouble him with something, he slowly looked at Ye Sang.

"What's the matter? Dad can help, absolutely help. ”

"Mother said, you know some carpentry. I want to ask you to make two bows and arrows, one large and one small, the big one for me and the small one for Sanlu to learn. ”

In her spare time on the road, her mother-in-law, Lee, would talk about some things from the past from time to time. Sometimes it was her husband Zhao Chen and her eldest brother Zhao Daman when they were young, and sometimes it was about what Zhao Erye did when he was young.

Among them, it was said that Zhao Erye studied carpentry for two years when he was young, and he also made a bow and arrow for his family, but because Uncle Zhao knew how to hunt, he used it for Uncle Zhao.

"I've got some hands, but I can make you two easier ones. When do you want to use it? ”

It was rare for Ye Sang to ask him, and Second Master Zhao agreed without thinking about it.

Ye Sang smiled: "Naturally, the sooner the better, do you need bamboo?" I'm going to chop. ”

Along the way, Ye Sang noticed that there were not many bamboos in the nearby forest, and the left and right trees did not grow together.

It wasn't until yesterday that when she and Xiuxiu beat Zhao Hao in the forest, they saw a few slightly thicker bamboos, growing in groups.

"There is a lot of leaf litter in the nearby woods, and I am afraid that there is a swamp. And the raw bamboo is too slow to dry in the shade, so you can use the two bamboos at home to change. ”

Second Master Zhao said with a sad face, making bows and arrows is not too troublesome: "Except for ......"

"Except for what?

"In addition to pigskin, it must be used for the bonding of good bows and arrows."

"Glue from pigskin?" Ye Sang's face was suspicious.

In modern times, pork rind is mostly used as an ingredient in food soups and in the preparation of pork skin jelly.

Unexpectedly, in ancient times, pig skin was not only edible, but also used to make glue.

"Ye San, go on patrol quickly. I'll figure out a way with your father about the pigskin. ”

Mother-in-law Li saw that the patrolling people in the village were gone, so she hurriedly wrapped a chicken leg in an oilcloth and stuffed it into Ye Sang's hand.

It was the leftover mountain chicken meat from yesterday, and her mother-in-law Li made a special trip to hide one when cooking, but she didn't expect it to be left for her.

Sister-in-law Liu also handed Ye Sang a hood: "Ye Sang, it's cold now." When you're on patrol, you'll be warmer, don't dislike it. ”

"Sister-in-law, I peeled chestnuts and pine nuts for you." Zhao Sanlu handed a small cloth bag to Ye Sang.

Zhao Sigu waved at Ye Sang and made an innocent grimace.

"Mother, sister-in-law, and third brother have all prepared good things for you. Yotsuya doesn't, but Yotsuya will warm the bed for his sister-in-law and wait for you to come back. ”

Zhao Sigu's words made everyone in the second room of the Zhao family laugh.

"Okay, then you warm the bed obediently!"

When Ye Sang arrived at the meeting place, everyone had arrived.

Because it was the first day, Li Zheng also arrived in person, and Uncle Zhao Zhao Fu and Ye Sang accompanied him to walk around. In fact, I want to see if Ye Sang's idea is feasible.

When it was confirmed that there were ten teams, and that each of the two teams could indeed see each other's fires, Rimasa breathed a sigh of relief and let the rest go back to rest.

Uncle Zhao Fu also praised: "Ye Sang, you pay attention to this, you are indeed smart." ”

In the final analysis, Ye Sang is the daughter-in-law of the old Zhao family, and the nephew and daughter-in-law of Uncle Zhao, and praising her is tantamount to putting gold on his face.

If the brother's family has such a smart daughter-in-law, life will get better and better.

"When the family was separated, I was not there, otherwise I would never have let your aunt bully you like that."

Uncle Zhao talked about the original separation, and some wanted to repair the relationship between the two families.

“……”

When the family was separated, it was impossible for Uncle Zhao not to know, if he really felt that he had been disadvantaged to the second room, he could give the second room again. Now, these are the ......

Ye Sang directly pierced Uncle Zhao's thoughts: "It's all separated, Uncle doesn't have to take this matter to heart." ”

Uncle Zhao saw that Ye Sang couldn't get any benefits here, so he laughed awkwardly and left directly.

Ye Sang held a dagger in his hand, sat on the stone by himself, and kept his eyes firmly on every move in the forest until he stepped on a lump of mud under his feet.

"Miss Ye Sang, are you there? I have something that I want to trouble you. ”

At this moment, a subtle male voice interrupted Ye Sang's thoughts.
