While working in the space at night, Li Yunze discussed building a fence with a few people.
Ye Yutong had an idea, "How about we bake the bricks ourselves! A house built with bricks is strong and strong, so we won't be afraid of wild beasts breaking in!"
She pulled Li Yunze and her eldest brother into the room and asked them to sit on the sofa.
She ran to the study and found a Tiangong Kaiwu for the two of them to read.
She turned on the computer again and found the video she had downloaded before, which introduced the simple process of baking bricks.
"Brother, Ping An, you two should study how to do it. I'm going to the mountain to collect eggs."
Ye Yutong left these things to them and ignored them. These two were smarter than her, so let them study it!
Ye Mingxuan knew that his sister was trying to hide, so he hurriedly called to her and said, "Don't leave. The words on this are missing arms and legs. We don't recognize many of them. Please help explain them here."
Ye Yutong pointed to the computer in front of him, "The computer says it so clearly, why do you still need me to explain it? Can't you understand it by combining the video and the book?"
After saying that, he took the basket and ran away.
Ye Mingxuan looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.
Li Yunze turned over the book with a smile on his face. His little wife was very smart, but just a little lazy.
Some people worry that she doesn't want to take care of anything if no one helps. She can arrange everything properly, making people feel particularly reassured and reliable.
"Brother, I think this updraft kiln method is good. Although it can't burn much at one time, it is relatively simple. Let's try it tomorrow and build a big kiln when we have time."
There is no shortage of firewood and clay in the mountains. In the future, a big kiln will be built, and the pots and jars can be burned by oneself. In the future, Tongtong will have room to store wine or pickle vegetables.
"Okay, let's try it out tomorrow. Once we learn it, we can teach it to everyone."
Ye Mingxuan also thinks this is the simplest, just make the bricks and burn them together.
The two discussed the details again and hurried to the mountain to help with the work.
Nowadays, most of the crops grown in the fields are grains and a small amount of vegetables. They are not as busy as before.
But the poultry on the mountain needs to be fed and cleaned every day. Several baskets of chickens, ducks and goose eggs have to be picked up every day, which takes a lot of time.
There are more and more fruits. In just a few months, the basement is full again. There is no place to put the harvested food, so it has to be piled in the small courtyard.
Ye Yutong was picking mangosteens. When he saw them coming up, he pointed to the baskets of eggs and said:
"Brother, Ping An, you two are here just in time. Take these eggs. What fruit do you want to eat? I will pick it for you."
Both of them looked at the durian tree not far away. Ye Yutong waved his hand, "It's not ripe yet. It will take two days to eat."
She complained in her mind that these durian trees were bearing fruit for the first year, and they had dozens of them.
The two of them wanted to pick one every time they came in. How could there be enough for them to eat every day?
Both of them were a little disappointed after hearing this, so they picked up the baskets of eggs and went down the mountain.
When passing by the melon field, Ye Mingxuan went to pick a big watermelon. There was no durian to eat, but the watermelon was not bad either.
After breakfast the next day, Lin Zhong asked Li Yunze to take them to work in the fields.
What does it look like with so many men here eating free meals?
Li Yunze had no choice but to take them to the water pool.
Lin Zhong asked his brothers to clean up the weeds first, and then bring the cattle over to plow the fields.
"Ping An, this place is very nice, the soil is good, very suitable for growing crops."
Over the years, he has lived with his parents in the mountains, farming and practicing martial arts. He has opened up a lot of wasteland to grow food, and he has a fairly good understanding of soil quality.
This is a piece of black land, better than the one in the valley, and it will definitely be highly productive for growing crops.
It is estimated that there are several hundred acres. If they are all planted, a lot of food can be harvested that year.
"Uncle Lin, what is the quality of the soil? I don't know much about it. But it looks like it's relatively flat and the soil is soft. It should be suitable for growing potatoes and sweet potatoes."
Lin Zhong said happily: "Not only sweet potatoes and potatoes, but also wheat and sorghum, if you plant them, you will definitely get a bumper harvest. Moreover, there is such a big water pool here and the water is convenient. This place is really great."
Li Yunze took him around again.
Lin Zhong saw a large area of sugar cane that had just sprouted. He didn't pay much attention to it and planned to clean it up later.
But Li Yunze stepped forward and said in surprise, "Isn't this sugar cane? I've only seen it in books before, but I didn't expect it to be found here."
Lin Zhong asked: "Ping An, do you know what this is? We seem to have seen it on the way here."
"Really? Uncle Lin, this sugar cane is a good thing. It can be made into sugar and eaten as fruit. I thought it was only found in the south, but I didn't expect that Lingnan Mountain is also suitable for sugar cane growth."
What Uncle Lin was talking about was probably the sugar cane heads he and Ye Yutong buried last year, which sprouted this year.
Lin Zhong asked in surprise: "What, this thing can make sugar?"
"Yes, the quality of the sugar produced is very good, and it cannot be compared to malt sugar."
Li Yunze looked at him with a happy face, and took the opportunity to say: "This Lingnan Mountain is really amazing. I have discovered a lot of food here that is not available in our Yunchao Kingdom."
He said very happily: "If I hadn't read a few miscellaneous books on the Western Regions back then, I might have missed these things."
After hearing this, Lin Zhong's heart almost jumped out of excitement.
They have lived here for so many years and have never discovered these high-yielding grains.
One is that I don’t know it, and the other is that I have no connection with it. Even if I saw it, I would think it was some kind of weed. How could I have thought that it could be eaten?
As soon as the little master arrived, he discovered potatoes, sweet potatoes, and this kind of sugar cane that can be used to make sugar. Heaven is helping the little master!
Li Yunze saw his eyes were red and knew what he was thinking, so he patted his shoulder comfortingly.
"Uncle Lin, please send a message to your uncle, asking him to buy more land and plant potatoes and sweet potatoes on a large area next year.
There are also wheat seeds and corn seeds I brought back. People from the Western Regions said the yields are very high.
When the wheat is harvested, if it is as he said, we can try to plant it everywhere next year. "
Lin Zhong wiped his eyes and said cautiously: "Master, last time I brought sweet potatoes and potatoes back, my father asked me to send a letter to the young master, asking him to buy more land.
I have also informed the hall leaders of each department that if there is a large piece of land for sale, do not hesitate to buy it directly without reporting it. "
Li Yunze bowed deeply to him and said, "Uncle Lin, I have worked hard for you these years."
"Master, what are you doing? How can a slave be worthy of this?" Lin Zhong quickly supported him with both hands.
"Uncle Lin, I will remember what you, Grandpa Lin, and my uncle have done for me over the years. Don't say I'm a slave or not, you are my elder and will always be."
