Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 88 Get a Good Book

The one-acre land in the corner is used for grazing sheep. In the future, the sheep will have their own special area. After the sheep peng is set up, Liu Man'er is surrounded by fences, and different areas are specially divided to prevent these animals from running around. Of course, occasionally the cows can also come in to eat some grass.

On this fence, Liu Man'er plans to transplant some roses, or morning glory and other things to pick around here, um, I think it's beautiful when I think about it.

There is still a lot of open space, so it is natural to pick some flowers and grow some vegetables. In addition, Liu Man'er also built a row of small houses at the back door, in case her family will buy many servants to help with work in the future.

The front yard was also built as a down house. When she made money and bought someone, they would have a place to live.

She also specially dug a cellar under the warehouse, planning to use it to store wine in the future. Of course, she hasn't left a piece of land for planting some vines and the loquat tree she likes to eat.

I have to say that Liu Man'er's thinking is too beautiful and far-sighted.

Anyway, the approximate model has been built, and the rest is to wait for the arrival of spring when all things recover, and wait for her yard to come back to life.

Of course, some furniture has not yet been finished, and the wooden floor has not been laid, so it is not possible to live in it for the time being, but Liu Man'er asked someone to dig a well in advance, one well in the front yard, two wells in the back yard, one near the kitchen, One is near the back door, but this well was first covered with stones, and it will be put into use when the time comes.

In the following days, she was busy planting trees and picking flowers, and the family was also mobilized by her. The house had been built, and the craftsmen had all gone back. Liu Man'er asked the carpenter to temporarily live in the new house, which was convenient. The master beats the furniture and installs the wooden floor.

Of course, the main room is still covered with green bricks, and the other rooms are built on green bricks, and then a layer of wooden planks is placed on top of it, which is warm and moisture-proof. Of course, this has to be done slowly.

It's also fortunate that the carpenter didn't finish it so quickly. If it was done all at once, Liu Man'er really couldn't afford it.

After this period of rectification, Liu Man'er found that her family property was empty, and even took a lot from Fang's.

But don't be afraid, the family has always had some income, the so-called return after all the money is gone.

The duck has started to lay eggs recently, and Liu Man'er plans to sell them as preserved eggs. Of course, she didn't come up with the idea of ​​making preserved eggs. When she was wandering in the bookstore in the town last time, she occasionally found a book called "Qi Min" The book "Essentials" actually recorded the practice of this preserved egg!
In addition to the practice of this preserved egg, it also records some other things, including experience in agricultural and animal husbandry production, food processing and storage, utilization of wild plants, etc. It can be called a farm encyclopedia.

This book was suitable for Liu Man'er, so she spent money to buy this book at that time.

I have to say that it is very important to have a good relationship with the shopkeeper of the bookstore. If it wasn't for wandering around the bookstore that day, how could Liu Man'er find such a good book.

Although Liu Man'er was born in a farm family, she doesn't know much about farm work, and this book is very comprehensive. From sowing, harvesting to storage, what to do is clearly written on it.

In addition to the cultivation of crops, there are also various things related to poultry, livestock, fish, herding and silkworms, and even various methods of making wine, vinegar, and sauces. Liu Maner spent money to buy this book. I'm more than happy to find my own baby.

At first, she never thought about raising silkworms, but after reading this book, she suddenly felt that she should plant some mulberry trees in the backyard, and then raise some silkworms, and then a high-efficiency agricultural model of fish, mulberry and chicken could be formed. Think about it really good.

How come no one has found such a good book?If someone had discovered it earlier, that person would probably have become a rich man long ago.

But think about it, it seems that there are not many people in this farm who can read, and some scholars don't know how to read this kind of book. Even if they read it, they don't know how to go to the fields. Big deal.

No wonder the ancients often said that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the golden house in the book. Now, she has realized that this book is an incomparable treasure to her.

Of course, after getting this book, Liu Man'er still wanted to use some of the things written in this book to help her get rich.

If nothing else, make this preserved egg first.

Liu Man'er used to like to eat preserved eggs, but I haven't seen any one selling preserved eggs here, maybe there are, but Liu Man'er didn't find it, but now it's really great to have the opportunity to make preserved eggs by myself.

According to the book, in addition to fresh duck eggs, white lime, tea leaves, salt, alkali, yellow dan powder, plant ash, loess, rice husk, etc. are needed to make preserved eggs.

Anyway, Liu Man'er is not very good at doing it, so follow the steps written in the book, first find a clean tank, pour hot water into the tank, and then pour appropriate amount of salt, tea leaves, alkali, and yellow tannin powder into it. Stir in the vat evenly, and then sieve the quicklime with a sieve to leave fine, put the quicklime, loess and plant ash into the vat and stir evenly, so that a special kind of yellow mud is obtained, which is called feed mud.

The next step is simple. Wrap the duck eggs with this mud. Liu Man'er generously coated them with a thick layer, then put them into the tank, and plugged them tightly. Liu Man'er was worried about air leakage, so she covered them again. Thick straw, put a thick oil cake, and then press it tightly with stones.

After 34 days of storage in this way, preserved eggs can be eaten.

Of course, this is her first attempt, and she doesn't know if it will succeed. If it succeeds, she will have another day of making money in the future.

However, she felt that the chances of success would be very high, because all aspects of the materials she used this time were made according to what was written in the book, and she pressed them very strictly.

When Liu Man'er was making preserved eggs, Fang also started making salted duck eggs. In fact, the two methods are similar. Liu Man'er's "Qi Min Yao Shu" also records the method of salted duck eggs.

But here, almost everyone can make salted duck eggs, but not many people can make preserved eggs.

After getting this "Qi Min Yao Shu", Liu Man'er remembered another book, this book is called "Heavenly Creation", it is amazing, but I don't know if there is any other world, but I can look forward to it, in the future It's okay to go to the bookstore more.

If you get both of these two books, you can transform into a farming expert and a manufacturing master in minutes, but Liu Man'er is not greedy anymore. It is an unexpected joy to get this "Qi Min Yao Shu". , There are still many wonderful things in her mind. Although it seems useless, sometimes after thinking about it, she thinks it is still a little bit useful.

Seeing that Liu Man'er was reading a book with relish these days when she had nothing to do, Ye Yuan also came over, and Liu Man'er showed the book to Ye Yuan.

Because in fact, Ye Yuan and Fang's are not very good at farming, after all, their family used to hunt, with this book, they can practice according to the book next year.

In short, Liu Man'er was complacent after getting this book, and she copied it specially to prevent any accidents from this book.

These ancient books are handed down from generation to generation, and the way of dissemination is also by hand copying. It is good to copy one more copy just in case.

Ye Yuan didn't read for a long time, and he didn't know many characters well. Liu Man'er taught him how to read at night, and the two of them read and taught each other under the lamp. few.

Time flies, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the house at home has been completed everywhere. The flowers, plants and trees that were picked before are slowly coming to life, and the house is gradually full of life.

Liu Man'er thought that this year should be a good year, but she didn't expect that after building a house and buying a horse, her family would be empty all of a sudden.

And there are more and more places that need money. Every time Liu Man'er goes to look inside the new house, she feels that there are many things that need to be added, such as screens, window leaves, curtains and so on.

The new year is approaching, so naturally there must be a new atmosphere. Apart from taking care of the new house, Fang is also busy sewing new clothes and new sheets for everyone. Liu Man'er is still taking care of her small workshop. Some aromatherapy balls hung around the waist.

The structure of two hollow balls, with another hemisphere in the middle, supported by a pillar, a small amount of incense can be placed in this hemisphere, Liu Man'er also put small iron beads between the two hollow balls, every time Hang up this ball for the first time, and it will jingle as you walk, which is very interesting.

No matter how you walk this kind of aromatherapy ball, the incense will not spill out, so it is quite popular in the county, and many girls like it.

Winter is coming, it is very suitable to use incense.

The parts of this kind of incense ball are all custom-made at the blacksmith's place. They are exquisitely made, but Liu Man'er spent a lot of effort designing them. The outside is covered with a layer of gauze, and it is considered complete.

Because these didn't require Liu Man'er to do anything, so Liu Man'er felt that she was not busy enough.

It's almost Chinese New Year, and Manager Wu came to buy peanuts again, but now Liu Man'er has taught Fang the job of cooking five-spice peanuts, so she herself is happy to have a leisurely time, so she went hunting with Ye Yuan again.

In winter, when many animals are preparing to store fat, Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er often find a nest every time they hunt. This kind of unexpected joy makes her grin from ear to ear every day, and at this time, snakes often It is hibernating, but this mountain is very safe.

Sometimes Ye Yuan would bring good food and live in the mountain with Liu Man'er, anyway, they have two strongholds in the mountain now, one is the small wooden hut just over the top of the mountain, this one was left by the boy picking herbs, The two often met him in the mountains, so they were quite familiar with each other.

The other one is Old Man Li's house in Laoshan'ao, the villagers of this Laoshan'ao are very enthusiastic every time they see Ye Yuan go with Liu Man'er, without it, they still remember Ye Yuan as a tiger-fighting hero.

Because of this, the status of Old Uncle Li's family in this small mountain village has improved a lot.
