In the two courtyards, the main house has five large rooms, plus the wing rooms on both sides, three in the east and west in each entrance, adding up to eleven rooms. There are a total of 22 rooms in the two courtyards. In addition, there are courtyard walls and courtyards.

Hou Qixun's studio required a lot of bricks and tiles. Together with Brother Monkey, Uncle Lu who came to help, a few younger brothers from the Yan family, and people from the brick and tile kiln, they were able to move it in and finish it when the sun went down.

Yan Yongwu was not at home, and there was a fire at home. Everyone in the village thought that the Qixun family, which was originally in the best condition in the village, was now extremely poor. But not long after, the family not only bought a donkey, but also bought bricks to build a house.

After buying all the tiles, Guan Jian bought a lot. How big of a house will he build?

You must know that in the village now, there are only five or six houses with blue bricks and large tiles. And Yanjia Village is one of the richest villages in Ping'an Town.

Many people in the village came to watch the fun, and the Yanjia Village was united. Although they came to watch the fun, all the young and strong people also helped.

There are only three thatched huts at home, and there is really no place for people to sit. It is inconvenient to leave people to eat, so Lingsu asked Qixun and Sister Lin to help and baked a lot of beef tongue cakes stuffed with red bean paste and pork stuffing.

Huangqiao shortbread, each helper was given two pieces of the two shortbreads to reward the guests.

This is more satisfying than providing a meal.

In this world, sugar is rare, meat is rare, and snacks are even rarer to have once a year.

How could these people be willing to eat it? Almost everyone carefully carried it in their hands and took it home to honor the elderly and satisfy their children's cravings.

The three sisters of the Yan family looked at these clan members, most of whom were related by blood. They were wearing ragged clothes in the winter, but they only had four pieces of snacks. They carefully held them in their hands without saying anything, with bright smiles on their faces. They felt full of disbelief.

taste.

Lingsu touched Qixun's head: "Xiao Xun, you are right. No matter how much you have, we may not be able to control it, but Xiao Xun, you have the ability. We are trying to make the lives of our tribe and village people easier, so we can still do our best.

When you renovate farm tools, I will make sure you eat well and sleep well every day."

Sister Lin was thinking thoughtfully on the side: "Improving farm tools alone is not enough. It would be great if we could improve seeds. It's a pity that we have never planted land."

Qi Xun clapped his hands: "I am half an agriculturist. In my last life, there was a very great old man. He almost single-handedly supported most of the population of our country. It was a big country with a population of more than one billion.

.He did it by improving grain varieties. That great old man is known as the contemporary Shennong by the Chinese."

Lingsu had traveled more than half of the country in his previous life, and his knowledge was not comparable to that of Sister Lin who was confined to the backyard. After listening to Qixun's words, his face also showed respect: "That is indeed comparable to Shen Nong's achievements. He is an old saint worthy of the respect of all people in the world.

But, how to improve this grain? Xiaoxun, you claim to be half an agriculturist, you should know, right?"

Qixun nodded: "But this is not a day's work. It requires constant experimentation. It may take several years to achieve nothing."

Sister Lin said: "I'm not afraid of that. As long as the direction is right, what are you afraid of taking some detours? You will succeed in the end, right? Fourth sister, if you improve grain varieties, I will help you."

Anyway, besides studying, doing some embroidery, occasionally studying medicine with her third sister, and helping with the preparation of medicinal materials, she had nothing to do.

Qi Xun's eyes lit up and he looked at Sister Lin and nodded: "Okay, Xiao Wu, this is what you said."

Sister Lin was originally a fairy, a serious plant native. In this life, her second brother even said that she was born with a wood spirit body. Who in the world could be more suitable for farming than her?!

Sister Lin was startled by the heat in her eyes, and she deeply doubted whether she had taken the initiative to jump into her fourth sister's trap.

If you say it out loud, can you take back the water that was thrown out? Qi Xun doesn't allow her, Sister Lin, to go back on her word.

Qixun took Sister Lin's hand and said, "Come on, sister, let me first give you some basic knowledge about agricultural planting. If you want to have a good harvest in this field, there are only a few things you need to do. First, fertilize the land. Second, plant good seeds."

, Third, the weather is good. As for the third point, it all depends on whether God will reward you with food. Our current level of science and technology cannot be changed, but we can control the two points of soil fertilizer and good planting...

"

Lingsu watched his little sister being pulled away with a helpless expression, smiled helplessly, and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The other tribesmen couldn't save a meal, but several of my cousins ​​and Uncle Lu still had to save a dinner.

She was thinking about what to eat at night, but Brother Monkey came over and said, "Third sister, my mother said that my cousin, the others, and Uncle Lu would be staying at our house for dinner tonight. What have you decided on cooking? Let me tell you, why not

BBQ tonight? Didn’t you make some fruit wine a few days ago? Just take it out to entertain them."

There is no shortage of meat at home, and there are also deer legs. The meat stored in Brother Monkey’s space is all fresh. When it comes to barbecue, bacon is far inferior to fresh meat.

The roasted meat is smeared with honey or jam and wrapped in the young leaves of white rice. It will be so delicious.

The point is, it saves my mother and Su'er a lot of work, and it's more fun for the brothers to do it themselves during the barbecue.

Brother Monkey thinks his idea is beautiful.

Lingsu thought for a while and nodded with a smile: "Listen to my second brother. It just so happened that there were still two jars of strong wine left in the last brew. I will open a jar this time and get a pot for you to enjoy."

Those two jars of wine were specially left by Qixun for my mother. But the wine was too strong. One jar could be divided into three pots of wine, so it would be okay to take out one pot.

When Brother Monkey heard that there was wine to drink, he jumped up and down with joy. Then he thought, if they drink, they won't be scolded by my mother, right? Brother Monkey carefully approached Lingsu and asked in a low voice: "Will Mom not do it?"

allow?"

Lingsu said with a smile: "They are all mother's nephews, and Uncle Lu is not an outsider. Why don't you just ask mother to drink with you?"

Their mother is naturally open-minded, and her brothers are all in their teens. They are not messing around outside, so why should they be afraid of drinking at home?

Brother Monkey was very happy to hear this: "Hey, third sister, you know me better."

If he hadn't been afraid that his brothers were still young and had poor self-control, he would have wanted to take out mahjong and share it with his brothers. Maybe he could win back the pocket money he lost.

However, the mahjong lady would never agree to him taking it out now, especially to play with his brothers. If his temperament changes due to gambling, whose fault is it?

It's more like playing with the old man.

But if he stays with the old man, he will only lose, right?

If he really wins the old lady's money, he will probably be beaten when he comes back.

He is thick-skinned and not afraid of being beaten, but he, the Monkey King, doesn't want to lose face?

There is a kind of beating in this world that cannot be resisted, and that is my mother's beating.

Brother Monkey felt deeply regretful. He sighed deeply, went to the kitchen, secretly took some fresh meat from the space and gave it to Lingsu: "Do you want my help?"

Lingsu pushed him out of the kitchen: "Go and greet the cousins. I will prepare the ingredients in a moment. By the way, second brother, go and prepare the barbecue grill and charcoal."
