Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 21 Bamboo
Sister-in-law Yan's heart is complicated. Yun Yiyi has a very good figure and a beautiful appearance, and she is very good at dressing up. If she doesn't come here to do laundry, it looks like a festival. She is wearing a light green top and a small white cape. , with white plum blossoms embroidered on it, the embroidery is very good, and the price is expensive at first glance.

Not to mention that the men in the village like to look at her, even her eyes will involuntarily stay on her, and look more often.

Beautiful things always attract the public's attention.

Some tongue-twisting women in the village secretly said that Yun Yiyi was indecent. In the past, Mrs. Yan didn't say anything, and she didn't agree with Yun Yiyi's actions in her heart, but now Yun Yiyi doesn't live with her. Thinking about it, I found that the other party didn't do anything too outrageous.

She just likes to dress up, buy clothes, and jewelry. Anyway, it's not spending her money, so she can do whatever she wants.

Asking them to help this time, she actually knew how to avoid suspicion, making her feel that the other party was not as bad as those people said.

It's a pity that it's just going its own way.

As she thought about it, she had already agreed to the matter in her heart.

Yun Yiyi is also inexperienced. When everyone came to wash clothes, they always came in the morning. After she washed for a while, she found that the sun was out, and she was sweating profusely.

By the small river, she was the only one washing clothes. She patted the clothes with a laundry stick in her hand, thinking that she was too backward, and she must build a washing machine by herself in the future.

However, there was no electricity in ancient times, so it is very difficult to realize it, and a long-term plan must be considered.

When she came back after washing, the two cubs were sleeping. The weather was so hot that it was indeed suitable for sleeping.

Yan Dashuang's sleeping posture was almost invisible, not only showing her white belly, but also one leg resting on Xiaoshuang's body.On the other hand, Yan Xiaoshuang slept well, lying on his back with his hands and feet closed, sleeping like a little hamster, he probably felt something pressed on him in his sleep, and his brows were tightly frowned.

Yun Yiyi looked annoyed and funny, she first tore off Yan Dashuang's clothes to cover his stomach, and then removed his legs from Yan Xiaoshuang's body.

Yan Xiaoshuang's body lightened, and then she opened her eyebrows and fell asleep soundly.

Having nothing to do, Yun Yiyi remembered that when she bought chicken that day, she also bought some things.

She was also curious about the products bought in this era, so she bought some of each, but not many, there were a few pears, some pastries, as well as salt and sugar.

She had eaten this pear once before. It was small and sour, not unpalatable, but it was neither moist nor sweet, so it had been left unused.

She bought some pastries of each kind. They are expensive and average in appearance. Each piece is square and about the size of a mahjong.

She bought sesame cakes, peanut cakes, chestnut cakes, and mung bean cakes. They were not sweet, but they all had the taste of the food itself, which was considered pure.But it is naturally impossible for merchants to use only white flour, otherwise the cost will be too high.A lot of coarse grains are mixed in the pastry, and the taste is slightly rough.The two cubs took a sip respectively, but they didn't like it either, so they put it aside.

Yun Yiyi picked up the peanut cake and ate it, and found that it was a little soft, but because she put it in a cool place in the room, the temperature was low, so it didn't go bad. She took out a scale of salt and sugar to check while eating.

The sugar in this era is called sucrose, which is actually similar to white granulated sugar, with even and neat particles, loose and dry, and looks very sweet.

The common people now know to extract sugar from sugar cane, but due to the influence of geographical environment and temperature, the yield of sugar cane is even lower, and this sucrose is only eaten by wealthy people.Ordinary people want to eat sugar, so they eat fruits such as oranges or plums to absorb sugar.

Brother Yan came back in the afternoon, and Aunt Yan told him about it.

Even if a farmer has a lot of strength, working is not a big deal.

Although Big Brother Yan was puzzled, he readily agreed, "Okay, I'll go to the forest to cut some bamboos and send them to my siblings later."

Sister-in-law Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The third sibling said that instead of letting you chop bamboo for nothing, they are willing to exchange salt and sugar."

Big Brother Yan was also stunned when he heard the words, "Actually, it's not necessary, it doesn't take much trouble to chop a few bamboos."

He is a simple and honest man, he usually chops the firewood at home, and cutting bamboo is not a big deal to him, how can he get paid.

Sister Yan bit her lip, she seemed a little unhappy, but she didn't say much.

After all, Brother Yan was tired after working for a long time. He rested for a while, and only planned to chop bamboo when the sun was overcast.

Sister-in-law Yan remembered Yun Yiyi's instructions, so she took off her apron and straightened her hair, "I'll go with you. Coincidentally, I'm also going to pick up some dry firewood."

Brother Yan didn't have any objections.

The two of them were about to go up the mountain. When they passed by Yun Yiyi's house, the two cubs were playing. Yan Xiaoshuang was holding a ladle and filled the chickens' bowls with water.

Although they had heard that Yun Yiyi had built a house for the chickens before, this was the first time for the two of them to watch it up close.

Brother Yan was a little curious, touched the chicken shed, and sighed: "This thing is pretty good."

He is a man, naturally interested in these buildings.

Yun Yiyi pays attention to hygiene, and keeps the chicken shed clean every day. It looks dry and hygienic. There are rows of wooden bowls next to the chicken shed, which look very similar.

The chickens in rural areas are all free-range. Many chickens are pecking everywhere, often eating dirty water and dirty things, and the chickens find food by themselves, and they are picky eaters, so the chickens generally grow thin and slow.

But Yun Yiyi feeds the chickens with grain every day, and also adds appropriate medicines to prevent them from getting sick and help them grow better.

During this period of time, these little chickens grew up very well, each one was lively and healthy, and looked chubby with a lot of meat.

Although Big Brother Yan didn't understand these things, he was taken aback at first glance. He just thought the chicken coop was well built.

Sister-in-law Yan's first sight was the pots of flowers and plants placed on the edge of the chicken coop. Roughly speaking, there were dozens of pots, including roses and roses. They didn't bloom this season, but she recognized a few pots.

These flowers and plants are useless to the people in the village. They can neither be eaten nor used. What are they raised for? On the contrary, the princes and ladies in the county will raise them to relieve boredom.

It's really a waste of money for Yun Yiyi to spend money to buy these flowers and plants.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Yan Dashuang running over, "Uncle, Aunt, Mom is waiting for you."

Mrs. Yan stretched out her hand to hug Yan Dashuang, but found that he had not been seen for a while, and his body was so soft that it was all flesh when pinched.

The face is also covered with meat, which looks like a Fuwa.

When the two cubs were not talking before, she still couldn't tell the difference, but now Yan Dashuang actually has a double chin, and looks fatter than Yan Xiaoshuang.

After she picked it up, she felt a little tired, so she put Zaizai down again, "Da Shuang, you have gained a lot of weight."

The child looks not fat, but round, very cute.

It seems that Yun Yiyi has really put in a lot of effort to raise the child to be fat and fat.

Yun Yiyi didn't bring anything, when she heard someone coming, she hurried out to say hello: "Brother and sister-in-law are here, let's go now."

There is a lot of humidity in the depths of the forest, and the more you walk, the colder you feel. It is said that there will be wild animals in the depths of the forest, but they are only in the outer circle, and there is no danger.

The forest is full of all kinds of trees and some wild vegetables. Girls in the village like to pick pigweed and firewood here.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, I saw a pile of bamboos, very thick and strong, each one as thick as her thigh.

Brother Yan stopped and asked, "Third brother and sister, are you going to cut it here?"

This kind of bamboo is perfect for making big bowls.Some people cut this kind of bamboo because they lack bowls, but few people do this, because in this era without detergent, bamboo products are not as easy to wash as ceramic products.Brother Yan thought she also wanted to make bowls.

Yun Yiyi shook her head. She had no experience in plumbing, but she also felt that this kind of bamboo was too big, so she asked, "Brother Yan, is there any smaller bamboo, at least half smaller than this one."

Brother Yan wondered, "There are so many, but the bowls made of bamboo like that may be too small."

Who said she wanted a bowl, Yun Yiyi said: "I want that."

After walking inside for a while, Yun Yiyi saw a clump of bamboo that was not too big or small. Although it was bigger than her modern common water pipe, she thought it was pretty good.

There was indeed some dry firewood on the ground in this mountain, and Mrs. Yan came to pick up some with a basket on her back. The two cubs insisted on following, so they squatted on the ground to pick up pine cones to play with.

Such bamboos are very tall and vary in size. Yun Yiyi thought about it, and the latter bamboo should be inserted into the previous one to form a closed water pipe.

She went up to observe, and picked out a few bamboos that were growing well and of different thicknesses.

Brother Yan took a machete and cut down the bamboos according to the instructions.

He was fast, and in a short while several bamboos were piled up on the ground.

Now the sky is approaching dusk, and the ancient people had no nightlife, so they all went to bed early, so Brother Yan said, "We're going back now."

Yun Yiyi hugged the branch she picked up, and agreed, "Brother and sister-in-law, you go to my house first, and I need to trouble my brother later."

Sister Yan also picked up a basket full of firewood after a while, and nodded upon hearing this.

I have to say that Brother Yan is really a person who can endure hardships. Although these few bamboos are not thick, they are not light.

When he arrived at Yun Yiyi's yard, Yun Yiyi asked him to flatten both ends of the bamboo and process it for him.

Sister-in-law Yan is not so unfamiliar now, she looked at it strangely for a while, and asked, "Third brother and sister, are you planning to make a clothes rack?"

This kind of thinner bamboo can't think of other uses except for drying clothes.

Even if Yun Yiyi explained to her, she didn't understand, so she simply went to the house to get the sugar and salt bought in the town before, as well as the leftover pastries and pears.

She handed the things to Mrs. Yan, and said calmly: "Here, this is today's reward, thank you for your help."

Brother Yan didn't care about this, he smiled honestly when he heard the words, and continued to trim the bamboo into order.
