When Xie's tiles were halfway burned, Huya's land was finished planting.
It happened that Xie Baotian, Xie Baoshu and Xie Tianlin's land had also been planted. Several people got together and went to the town to buy lime and helped Xiao Yi clear the thatch from the roofs of the three main houses and replace them with tiles.
Lime is not expensive, only one hundred copper sheets of lime were used for the roofs of the three main houses. As for the sand, of course I dug it by myself at the river.
After the tiles were glued on the roofs of the three houses, the originally inconspicuous house suddenly became a few grades higher. Only then did people realize that Xiao Yi's house was really only missing the roof, and the rest was covered with stones and Made of lime, thick and neat.
After replacing the roof, the Huya brothers and sisters began to spread the soil. Xie Tianlin and Xie Yushu, Qu Xiaodie helped them pull the soil for two days, and Xiao Yi helped to expand the soil for two days. Every day was busy.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time to pick up the knife. Xie Yushu planned to let her brother and sister do the rest of the work slowly.
At the same time, Xiao Yi was asked to ask the kiln renters who had free labor to help him pull stones to build the side rooms and side rooms. They paid twenty copper plates a day to rent the kiln, and they also provided meals at noon.
As soon as I heard that I could get paid for the work, several companies sent one or two laborers to come over to work. Eleven people came in two days!
Xie Yushu rented three more carts to haul stones, and invited Hu Mei to help Haitang make lunch, and then she was going to Jinyang City with Qu Xiaodie.
After things were arranged, Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie rested for a day and cut cloth, making two sets of sky blue narrow-sleeved clothes and two pairs of thick thousand-layer cloth shoes. The soles were made with the help of Grandma Huya. The tenth layer is matched with the white edge of the shoe top of the same color, which looks clean, tidy and simple.
Xie Yushu made two palm-wide waistbands with auspicious cloud patterns. Qu Xiaodie and Qu Xiaodie were both tall and slender, and well dressed. One held a soft cowhide whip in his hand, and the other wore a black iron short knife on his waist. They were tall and straight, and Beautiful and sassy, a perfect knight with two jade faces!
Bringing two pieces of dry food and two gourds of water, the two of them started traveling as soon as they could.
This time I went out much better than last time. There were no people dying of hunger on the road. The original desolation has become green mountains and green waters. Time seems to have gradually healed the pain left by the drought. The fields are full of busy farmers. This world Full of life again.
The two of them arrived at Tai'an Mansion first. They originally planned to meet Han Zhongyu, but when they heard that he was so busy that he hit the back of his head and did not go to the Yamen, they gave up and had a meal with the Liu brothers, Xie Tianming and Xie Tianqi.
In half a month, Liu Nan hired more than 20 new agents, and Liu Qiang's department also hired more than 30 officials. The most noteworthy thing to celebrate was that Xie Tianming improvised and learned a few close combat techniques. He actually defeated three people who came to run for office and successfully became a full-time official with his tail hanging low!
Liu Qiang also made friends with several merchants and bodyguards. He was a righteous man and he got along like a fish in water here!
Xie Tianqi also served as a deputy envoy to the Jin Dynasty, and brought a dozen brothers with him. A few of them were quite prosperous here.
Although Xie Yushu seemed to have accepted her new identity long ago and was responsible for taking care of Xiaoyi, the children, and Xie's family, only she knew that she had only done unfinished business for the original owner and watched everything about the original owner. Everything is on track, everything is getting better and better, and her heart is finally settled!
After Xiao Yi's leg is cured and he repays his ten taels of silver for living, he can make a plan whether to leave or stay her in the future.
From the time she came here, she had to deal with the top-notch mother and brother of Xiao Yi's family. Xiao Yi seemed to be secretive, and the household registration management here was strict, so she didn't think about it. What is going to happen in the future? Now that she has paid off her debt, she will be able to live for herself soon!
After a simple meal, it was nice to see Xie Tianqi and the others here. Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie didn't stay too long, so they took a boat to Jinyang in the afternoon.
However, he didn't rush to the blacksmith shop. Instead, he found an inn to rest for the night and took the time to draw a drawing of a needle tube.
The next day, he bought two jars of wine, two packs of cakes, a large pig leg, some candies and a few small toys for the children. Thinking that Li Daniu didn't have much money left that day, he bought two more small horses. Cotton cloth, a batch of indigo and a piece of cotton cloth, it is estimated that Li Daniu, his wife and their children can make two sets of clothes, so they came to the door.
Li Daniu and his wife were very enthusiastic and blamed Xie Yushu for spending so much money to bring so many things. Li Daniu's wife also told Xie Yushu that people's lives were difficult and they had to save money even if they had money.
Xie Yushu knew that both of them had good intentions, so she just responded with a smile. Li Daniu's wife asked people to come into the room to talk for a few words and then started cooking. However, her body was heavy, which made Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie tremble with fear.
Knowing that this couple must save some food, not eating would make them look like outsiders, so they both got up and helped cook together.
Li Daniu scratched his head and said
"You see, you have come all the way, and yet you are still asked to work with me."
Qu Xiaodie said nonchalantly
"It's okay. We're also cooking at home, and I can still talk to my sister-in-law."
Seeing that Xie Xiaodie said it sincerely, Li Daniu coaxed the two older children to play with toys.
The lunch was quite sumptuous, including four dishes and one soup, a peanut mixed with sugar, a leek and egg, a musu pork, a large steamed carp, and a winter melon and meatball soup.
Although these dishes are very ordinary in the eyes of Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie, after all, one of them came from the prosperous age of later generations, and the other has been living in the luxurious Zhang family. To them, this is just home cooking, but to ordinary people, Home, it’s already the New Year and the holidays!
The two little kids were eagerly sitting at the table waiting for the meal, but Li Daniu and his wife scolded them and tried to drive them away.
After all, the rules here are strict, and children and women are not allowed on the guests' tables.
In fact, it doesn’t need to be said here. Even in modern times, as a post-90s generation, Xie Yushu was not allowed to serve guests when she was a child. She doesn’t know if this is the case in every family.
Only when she grew up and people became more and more open-minded did these rules gradually become blurred. When guests came to the house, she could sit at the table and eat with them.
However, in Xie Yushu's view, as long as the children are not annoying, there is nothing wrong with eating them together. Moreover, the two children of Li Daniu's family are still very well-behaved. Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie hugged them one by one and said
"Since brother Li and sister-in-law regard us as younger brothers and sisters, they are friends and relatives, so let's eat together. The children are hungry.
Moreover, the two children are so well-behaved, we like them just looking at them. "
When Li Daniu and his wife heard what Xie Yushu said, they didn't force it and they ate together.
After dinner, Qu Xiaodie helped Sister-in-law Li clean up the dishes, while Xie Yushu went to look at the knives.
After getting a set of medical equipment in her hands, Xie Yushu had to be convinced by the unattractive man in front of her. This craftsmanship was comparable to modern machines!
It is almost a reproduction of the most advanced modern surgical equipment. The scalpel is shiny, the needle is shining with cold light, other forceps and hemostatic forceps, special suture needles for surgery are also excellent, and of course there is Xie Yushu's special hairpin.
