"I really want to open your head and see what's going on in your head?"
Zhao Feng said this to Chen Rou angrily.
"Isn't it okay if I only want you as my wife? Who would think of finding a concubine for their husband?"
Chen Rou said to Zhao Feng very seriously.
"Husband, you are different from others. I know that I am just a country woman and there is no way I can help you."
"If my husband can marry more virtuous wives, it will be too late for me to be happy!"
When Zhao Feng heard this, he looked at Chen Rou speechlessly, then came up and moved his hands and feet towards Chen Rou.
"Why can't you help me? You can still help me give birth to a baby!"
Chen Rou's face suddenly turned red, and she didn't refuse at all.
Zhao Feng suddenly became lustful and wanted to pick up Chen Rou, but when he turned around, he found that Chen Man was standing there looking at him cutely.
Zhao Feng's face turned red, he quickly put Chen Rou down, coughed twice in embarrassment, and said to cover up.
"I'll go into the mountains to find something. You two sisters should cook well at home!"
Seeing Zhao Feng running away, Chen Rou couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter, turned to Chen Man and said.
"Why do you show up so promptly every time?"
"If you act like this, your brother-in-law will want to send you back sooner or later!"
Chen Man shook his head stubbornly, and then asked Chen Rou somewhat innocently.
"Sister, can a man and a woman have a baby just by hugging each other?"
Chen Rou's face turned red, and she quickly pulled Chen Man aside. With a blushing face, she explained to Chen Man the affairs between men and women.
Here, Zhao Feng went to the mountains to search around, and soon found many natural plant raw materials that could be used as dyes.
Fortunately, these plants have not changed much for thousands of years, except that their names and names are different, otherwise Zhao Feng would really not be able to find these things.
There are many plants that can be used as natural plant dyes, the most famous of which is isatis root, which not only can treat colds, but can also dye blue.
Among the many colors, yellow is the easiest to dye, followed by blue, and purple and red are the most difficult.
Zhao Feng also knew that there were some natural moss that could be dyed purple, while red was usually dyed with ocher and cinnabar, but such dyes were not as good as plant raw materials.
Zhao Feng quickly found a lot of plant raw materials and took them home for preprocessing. He returned to Shen's house early the next morning and started experiments with these plants with Shen Chuchu.
The advantage of using vegetable dyes is that these raw materials are very cheap. As long as large-scale planting is carried out, the cost of raw materials can be produced in large quantities, and the cost is almost negligible.
But the disadvantage is also the same. Because these natural plants are very sparsely distributed, it is still difficult to find them before large-scale cultivation.
Although the two experimented successfully and dyed almost perfect colors, since these raw materials are not easy to find, they can only wait until next year to plant them themselves.
After a few days, the crops in the fields were all ripe. From several surrounding villages, people successively delivered food to the homes of Zhao Feng and Chen San, thanking them for the water tanker that saved their family. Old and young.
In other towns and villages, the farmland without waterwheel irrigation has long been deserted. It can be said that not a single grain of food has been harvested. Only in a few nearby villages, every household has received a bumper harvest.
And because the drought situation this year is indeed serious, the imperial court specially reduced the taxes here. For a while, these farmers were able to leave a lot of surplus food at home, in addition to the food given to Zhao Feng and Chen Shan.
This also made them even more grateful to Zhao Feng and Chen Shan. If it weren't for the waterwheel that Zhao Feng and Chen Shan built, they would inevitably be hungry this year.
After just sending away a group of villagers who came to deliver food, Zhao Feng turned back home and asked Chen Rou with a smile.
"Madam, the villagers have sent a lot of food to our house, right?"
Chen Rou also nodded, pointed to a house specially used as a granary, and said to Zhao Feng.
"Husband, these villagers sent too much food, and our granary has been filled up!"
"I didn't expect that the waterwheel that my husband built actually brought good harvests to all the surrounding villages. This time, my husband can be said to have contributed a lot!"
Zhao Feng smiled, waved his hand, and said to Chen Rou.
"It's just a simple thing. I guess someone from other places will come up with it."
Chen Rou looked at Zhao Feng with some confusion, then shook her head and said.
"That's impossible, husband. If other places have water trucks that can irrigate farmland, why does the court want to exempt taxes specifically for disaster relief?"
"I heard that other places were severely affected, especially our state capital, and some counties were almost completely devastated. I guess there will still be refugees!"
Zhao Feng was suddenly startled, and felt a little weird in his heart.
"That's not right. Didn't that master buy the method of making a waterwheel from me? Why did he still cause droughts in so many places?"
Zhao Feng frowned slightly. This water wheel had been tried by himself and it was indeed useful. Even though they were in a mountain, there were many rivers, and most of them were rivers with rapid currents.
If the master really followed the method he gave, he would definitely be able to minimize the losses caused by the disaster, and it would be impossible for such a serious disaster to occur.
This made Zhao Feng extremely confused.
But at this moment, two people wearing official uniforms suddenly came to the door and walked straight to Zhao Feng's home.
"Who is Zhao Feng?"
Seeing these two officials, Chen Rou was startled and subconsciously grabbed Zhao Feng's arm.
Zhao Feng patted Chen Rou's hand and signaled Chen Rou not to panic, then walked out openly, cupped his hands and said.
"You two officers, I am Zhao Feng, what do you want to do with me?"
The two officials looked at Zhao Feng up and down, and then shouted directly outside the hospital.
"Sir, this is the man!"
Zhao Feng couldn't help being slightly startled, then he looked up and saw a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties arriving at the entrance of the courtyard surrounded by a group of officials.
The middle-aged man had a big belly and looked kind-hearted, but the officials around him had a vicious look.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but frown slightly and turned to Chen Rou and nodded. Chen Rou immediately understood what was going on and ran into the house quickly.
After the middle-aged man without official uniform came over, he frowned and looked at Zhao Feng, then snorted coldly and asked.
"Are you Zhao Feng? Did you build that waterwheel?"
