Nongmen Fu girl group’s daily favorites

Chapter 33 Story
  After hearing this, Mrs. Gu pondered for a moment, "Mom thinks it's feasible. The noble girl in the capital loves Diao Ben to a crazy degree. When your father comes back, we can make a plan."

Shen Jia did not expect that Gu, who was born as a noble girl, would accept her suggestion so quickly. She thought that what happened during this period had a great impact on her.

It was almost noon when Shen Zhuoyun came back from the county seat and thought that he had already reached an agreement with Wei Yuming.

After lunch, the family sat in the corridor chatting and catching sparrows.

Sparrows like to fly down to eat rice. Farmers usually put up a few dummies and stand them in the fields. The sparrows think they are real people and do not dare to fly down to eat the rice in the fields.

It is not easy to place dummies in the yard, so when the rice is drying, sparrows must be driven away.

"Dad, did mom tell you that I want to write a storybook?"

"I told you, dad has no objection. If you need dad's help, just ask."

"Okay, I'll tell the story, and you, your mother, and your eldest brother will be responsible for writing the story, and I'll print it in the end, okay?" A hint of cunning flashed in Shen Jia's smart eyes.

"Printing? Jia'er, can you still print?" Shen Zhuoyun asked in surprise.

"I know a little bit." When Shen Jia was not on a mission in her previous life, Shen Jia would read some novels when she had nothing to do. She also particularly liked reading time-travel novels. She would even fantasize about what it would be like if she traveled through time. Did she find information to learn from it? There are few things, and among them is printing.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Just do as you say!" Shen Zhuoyun said excitedly.

There was printing in this era, but it was in the hands of wealthy families. Otherwise, it would be difficult to produce scholars from poor families. Because books and paper are extremely precious, a poor family can't afford a single scholar even with all the efforts of the whole family.

"Sister, what story do you want to tell?" Shen An asked curiously.

Shen Yun also took Shen Jia's hand and asked, "Yun'er hasn't heard my sister tell stories yet. Can my sister tell it to us now?"

Shen Jia glanced at her family. Shen Zhuoyun moved a table. Shen Hao prepared pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Gu was already studying ink, waiting for her story.

Apparently they were already waiting for her story.

Shen Jia cleared her throat: "There is Huaguo Mountain in the Aolai Kingdom of Dongsheng Shenzhou. On the top of the mountain, a fairy stone gave birth to a stone monkey..."

After more than half an hour, Shen Jia's mouth became dry and he said, "Let's listen to the explanation next time" and stopped talking.

Shen Yun ran to the kitchen and poured a glass of water for Shen Jia: "Sister, drink water."

Shen An washed a few bunches of yellow-skinned fruits, put them on a plate, and held them in front of Shen Jia: "Sister, eat the yellow-skinned fruits."

The two then brought water and fruits to Shen Zhuoyun and the others.

Then they sat down and stared at Shen Jia with their big wet eyes, making Shen Jia embarrassed to reject them.

This time it was Shen Hao's turn to write, and Shen Zhuoyun and Gu took turns polishing the ink.

Shen Zhuoyun's calligraphy is full of ink and flowing, while Shen Hao's calligraphy is still a little immature, but it has begun to show its character.

In the next few days, the family spent time drying rice, telling stories, and writing storybooks.

The sun is strong in summer, and after five days, all the Shen family's rice has been dried. Shen Zhuoyun and Shen Hao carried the Fenggu cart to the yard.

The wind winnowing machine is also called a winnowing machine. A wooden agricultural tool used to remove impurities, shriveled grains, straw chips, etc. from rice and other crops.

Its basic structure is: there is a trapezoidal feeding bin at the top, a funnel below to take out rice, a small funnel on the side to take out fine rice and flat grains, and a tail to take out chaff; a wooden round " The big belly "hides an impeller with an iron crank handle, and the fan blades are manually rotated to lift the grains. The faster the rotation speed, the stronger the wind will be, and vice versa."

Shen Hao used a shovel to shovel the rice into the silo one by one. Shen Zhuoyun shook the hand clockwise to control the wind power, speed, and adjust the switch for entering the rice. It is necessary to use moderate force, control the speed of shaking hands evenly, and keep the speed neither too fast nor too slow, and the intensity not too fast but not too small.

If the force is too strong, the wind will be too strong and the plump and firm rice will be blown away with the deflated grains. Do not shake it too slowly. If the wind is too slow, the rice, deflated grains and impurities will not be separated.

The rice carried by the windmill was yellow, heavy, plump and firm. Shen Zhuoyun put all the rice into the granary.

After the three people finished lifting the rice, they went to the fields to sow grain seeds.

Shen Zhuoyun, Shen Jia and Shen Hao worked together to divide the rice fields into several small pieces. Each piece was about one meter wide. There was a ditch between each small rice field, and there was only half a ditch of water in the ditch.

Then the rice fields were leveled before sowing seeds.

In this era, there were no films or seedling trays, and grain seeds were sown directly in the rice fields.

There is also something to be careful about when sowing grain seeds. They should not be sown too densely or too sparsely.

After sowing the grain seeds, use a wooden shovel to smooth the rice fields to prevent them from being eaten by birds.

In the evening, the sun sets in the west, and the fiery red sunset fills the earth.

The three of them walked back home at a brisk pace. On the way, they met Jiang and Xu Fan, who were carrying rice from the fields on the other side, as well as Xu Fan's two sisters and brother-in-law.

Jiang looks to be in his thirties, tall, thin, with delicate features, bronze skin, and wears patched clothes covered in mud.

Xu Fan was darker than a few days ago. He was wearing patched clothes and carrying a load of rice on his shoulders, which was incompatible with the bookish atmosphere exuding from his body.

Xu Fan's eldest sister, Xu Qing, had gentle eyebrows and delicate features, somewhat similar to the Jiang family. Her husband was also an honest and dutiful farmer. He shyly greeted Shen Jia and the others and left carrying rice.

Xu Fan's second sister, Xu Yuan, may look younger than Xu Fan's eldest sister because of her fair skin. I heard that she married into the county town and her husband's family ran a grocery store. However, Shen Jia was unhappy with the condescending look of the couple, and she didn't know where their sense of superiority lay.

"Mom, she is the girl from the Shen family who injured the Li family. She is not bad looking, but she has a bad temper. It is better for a woman to be gentle and virtuous. I don't know what kind of resentful person can stand such a fierce woman. "Xu Yuan suddenly felt uncomfortable when she saw Shen Jia just nodded to her, and what she said was extremely unpleasant.

When Xu Fan heard this, he looked unhappy and said, "Second sister, just take care of yourself. Don't meddle in other people's business?"

Xu Yuan looked at Xu Fan suspiciously and said, "I just said casually, why are you so fierce? I am your biological sister."

Xu Fan said with a cold face: "You talk up and down and say anything. Don't you know that such words will have an impact on the reputation of the girl's family?"

"Xu Fan, don't go too far. I'm just talking. Do you need to be so angry with me for the sake of an outsider? No, could it be that you have fallen in love with that little girl from the Shen family? Let me tell you. , after you gain fame and become a high official, there will be many noble ladies for you to choose from. Don’t be stupid and fall in love with such a shrewd village girl who will be your concubine..."
