Chinese dining table

Chapter 110 The ancients were not as stupid as they thought
The weather is getting warmer, Yunchu has already taken off his fur coat, sitting under the eaves watching the old women busy in the yard.

Twenty quilts from Ding Dayou's family have been taken away, and the remaining twenty guanqes have also been sent over, which gave Cui a great enthusiasm for work.

Among the maids who bought this time, there are a few women with big bones but thin bones. After they entered Yun's house, they seldom spoke, their bodies were always bent, and their voices were always hard to hear when they left their mouths , everyone with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, even those who don't want to bully others, want to bully them.

They don't pay attention to clothing or housing, but when it's time to eat, they become ferocious.

In the past, the Yun family all ate in the same pot. Since there were too many people, Cui Shi did not allow Yunchu to eat with them.

Then, the class of the Yun family appeared unknowingly.

Yunchu's meals are either white noodles or white rice, and occasionally some small miscellaneous grains are added to improve it. Every meal must have two meat dishes, one egg dish, or one tofu, plus a bowl of soup.

Cui himself must have a meat dish, a vegetarian dish, and an egg snack every day for each meal. The staple food is white noodles.

The food for the rest of the people is a big pot of stewed vegetables. Whatever vegetables are in the house, there are all kinds of vegetables in the pot. The staple food is mainly yellow rice, corn, and sorghum. However, it is enough, no matter how much you can eat, as long as If you want to eat, you must have it.

Today, Naha was not here again, so Yunchu invited Cui Shi to eat with him.

"When yelling at people in the future, don't just throw something in your hand. Isn't it good to use a bamboo stick or a wooden stick?"

Ever since Yunchu found out that Mrs. Cui threw the mallet to hit people, he had wanted to talk about it for a long time.

Cui sipped the porridge and snorted, "Ci is so stupid, you can't teach me no matter what, you have grown such a big body for nothing."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Aren't you the only one who picks and chooses to teach?"

Mrs. Cui looked at the group of women who were sitting around eating bravely under the sun and sighed: "When they were pulled out of the palace, they all looked like walking corpses. After only a few days of raising them, they came back to life, you know Entering a good family, but don't think about how to work hard to repay the master, but only know how to eat."

Yun Chu took another look at the terrifying appearance of those people eating and asked in a low voice: "Why, can't you get enough to eat in the palace?"

Cui sneered and said, "There are only two boxes of lunch a day."

Yun Chu took a look at the size of the box Cui gesticulated, and couldn't help but ask, "How did these people come out of the palace alive?"

"Eat whatever you have, I heard that there are no rats in Yeting Palace...not even other bugs.

The concubine also heard that during the reign of Emperor Taizong, there was a disaster in the local area one year. When Empress Wende wore a skirt that showed her feet, more than 5000 people were released from the palace at one time, which was more than a dead person. "

While talking, Cui slapped San Fatty's ass who brought the meal with a crisp voice.

Cui said to Yunchu with a smile: "This meat is grown only by eating our family's food."

There was no erotic meaning in Cui's actions, it was the mentality of slapping her pigs, dogs, and sheep with joy when she saw her pigs, dogs, and sheep gain weight.

Yun Chu sighed and said, "In the future, don't beat with sticks or mallets. If you make a mistake, find a place with thick meat to whip a few times. Anyway, this meat belongs to our family."

Cui laughed so hard that those who ate bravely were still so brave and ate even more vigorously.

A lynx jumped down from the roof, landed quietly, walked lazily to Yunchu's feet, and lay down.

Yunchu took out a bamboo tube from the lynx's neck, shook a piece of paper, and it fell out. When he unfolded it, Naha's crooked handwriting appeared in front of Yunchu. Underneath, there was an ugly The big-headed doll pulls another ugly little big-headed doll.

Yun Chu just saw something, and the corners of his eyes became very wet. Counting the time, he hadn't seen this child for ten days.

Since the child was born, he has been following him, sleeping with him, and herding sheep on his back. Even when he is practicing martial arts, this child has the effect of adding weight to himself. It can be said that this child is on his back. grown up.

"In two days, Miss Naha will be back."

Yun Chu nodded, put Naha's letter in his bosom, took out a large piece of meat from the bowl, and put it on Lynx's mouth, then got up and prepared to visit Zhang He's house to see how well the giant Kongming lantern he wanted was made. How's it going.

When Yunchu arrived at Zhang He's house, the whole family was covering the skeleton of a giant Kongming lantern with peach blossom paper.

Seeing Yunchu coming, Zhang He got down from the high shelf, cupped his hands and said, "Li Chang, the skinning will be finished today, and we will do the painting at night, so as not to delay the important event of the Shangyuan Festival."

Yun Chu looked at the thick bamboo strip skeleton and said, "Are you sure you can fly by then?"

Zhang He said with a smile: "If the time comes, if you can't fly, you will throw the villain into the sky. If it can't fly, the villain will show you to the chief."

Yunchu sighed in his heart, the confidence of a damn craftsman.

"Huh? Fire raccoon is used here?"

"Li Chang has good eyesight, and a fire raccoon cloth is placed at the position of the fire mouth, so that even if the flame is unstable, it will not be able to burn the silk cloth and peach blossom paper on it."

"Two days later, if there is wind, will the flames be blown out?"

"Impossible, please look here, there is an oil sac, which is filled with fierce fire oil from the Western Regions. Hu Dalu's family who sells lamp oil makes the most powerful fire oil in Chang'an. The oil sac is filled with Hu Dalu. Among the oils sold by homeowners to make ink, this is the worst kind of oil. Although there is no oily smoke, it is superior in its fierce firepower.

The wind can't be extinguished, and the water can't be extinguished. Look at the chief, the villain has made a small mechanism here, which can replenish the amount of oil in the fire pool in time, so that the flame will not be too big or too small.

In the event of an accident, as long as you control this thin rope, you can separate the bag full of kerosene from the Kongming lantern, so that even if the Kongming lantern falls, it will not cause a fire..."

Yun Chu took a closer look at the simple fuel injector designed by Zhang He, and said yes repeatedly. As for other things, he really has nothing to give advice.

It's just that people don't know that there is such a thing as a car. If they knew, they might be able to make an engine...

Today is the day when the square gate is closed. This is a major event when the giant phoenix is ​​installed on the stone pillar of the square gate. After leaving Zhang He's place, Yunchu arrived at the construction site.

There are only two stonemasons who can carve the giant phoenix into a sense of grace and generosity, Peng Wulang and Zhang Ting.

Looking at the three long tail feathers of the giant phoenix, Yunchu once again felt that Jinchangfang was too poor. If he was rich enough, he should inlay these three tail feathers with colorful gemstones. With golden gemstones on it, the eyes should be decorated with two fist-sized rubies, so that the might of this giant phoenix can be fully aroused.

"It's a pity...it's a pity." Yun Chu kept sighing.

But Peng Wulang and Zhang Ting, who were guarding on both sides, were frightened out of their wits by the intermittent words "it's a pity".

Just when they didn't know what was wrong, Yunchu looked at Peng Wulang and Zhang Ting and said, "Okay, the lost face, I just earned it back with craftsmanship, okay, don't cry and mourn, this time there will be no reward or punishment, it should be given All your money will be given to you, and a penny will be lost.

It's not for your face, but for the sake of your good abilities, clean up your mood, why don't big men cry in broad daylight, and put the giant phoenix on the stone pillar for me in a steady manner before the job is over. "

Peng Wulang, who had regained his face from Yunchu, straightened Zhang Ting's back in an instant, and yelled at the craftsmen present: "Whoever dares to be lazy when you shake the winch later, dare to use less time!" Divide your strength, don't blame us for not being sympathetic, how much you should put on airs, listen to my password."

According to Peng Wulang, the whole sculpture weighs three thousand catties, so he built a huge wooden beam between the beams and columns as the main force, and built three wooden frames evenly around the beam as the support points for twelve strands of rope. As an insurance unit for the girder.

He then divided the [-]-jin weight of the giant phoenix onto twelve thick hemp ropes, and slowly lifted the giant phoenix up with a six-sided winch.

In the middle, if the position is shifted, the position can be adjusted by raising or lowering the rope. As for the horizontal position, the horizontal rope is completely dragged by manpower.

Fifty or sixty skilled craftsmen worked together, and half an hour later, the giant phoenix was placed safely on the six flying phoenix pillars, and the giant phoenix was firmly fixed by 72 hand-made iron clips. On the pillars, the largest facade project of Jinchangfang is completed.

All people entering and leaving the east gate of Jinchangfang must pass through the six pillars under the giant phoenix.

From now on, the red lacquer gate in the middle of Jinchang Square will be closed all year round, unless the emperor or empress comes, otherwise, the gate will never be opened.

As for the side doors on both sides, men go to the left, women go to the right, and twenty steps forward, there is a large fence blocking the way.
On the other side of the fence is the Daci'en Temple!
It is also the key unit of Yunchu charges.

Those who do not sincerely pilgrimage to Buddha are not allowed to enter!
The gatekeepers don’t have any profound knowledge, exquisite Dharma, and don’t understand what is sincerity. Therefore, you just throw a few copper coins into a red lacquer box, and they will open the door for you graciously, thinking that You are a person who sincerely worships the Buddha, and there will be incense candles, offering fruits and other things for people who come in to buy at will.

The Zhike monk of Daci'en Temple knew about this, but he didn't care about it, and thought that the people in Jinchangfang were sensible and were actively implementing the three hundred guan management fees.

They have more than 6000 mu of land in Lantian County, and the imperial court has to allocate a large amount of copper money, food, and various utensils for monks in the temple every year, not to mention that they have a continuous source of money—Xiangji Kitchen .

Jinchang Fang helped Da Ci'en Temple to isolate some idle people who were bored and came to the temple to enjoy the autumn wind, which was exactly what the Zhike monk wanted.

Liu Yi was guarding the fence gate, grinning from ear to ear. Just as Juhuang was put on the stone pillar, a mighty crowd came to watch.
