Once upon a time there was a Nine Absolutes Gate

Chapter 59 Rice
Celebrate the harvest, and everyone is happy.

Afterwards, Huanyan, Xiao Tiezhu, and Sherlock racked their brains together, and finally successfully built the rice threshing machine.

Looking at the snow-white rice that separated soon after the rice was put in, Huanyan was very happy.

"The grains of this rice are full, and the color is crystal clear and clear. It's really good!"

Afterwards, Huanyan cooked the kitchen herself, steamed several large pots of rice, and then entertained all the villagers!
Eating barbecue and wild vegetables with rice, I was so excited that I was shaking!

"It's been several months, and finally I can eat rice again, really..." Huanyan said with emotion: "This is a starting point, a new turning point."

"The rice is ripe and there is no need to worry about food, then Yan Village can mobilize more manpower to develop..."

"good sign!"

For this meal, Huanyan ate a lot, three full bowls of rice!

As for the villagers, first each of them held a bowl of rice and looked at each other in blank dismay.But after seeing Huan Yan wolfing down the food, they moved their chopsticks and took a bite.

"Huh?" Qianqian was surprised, and her mouth opened slightly: "There is a faint fragrance, chew it carefully, and it's a bit sweet."

"This rice tastes really good! It's fragrant and not greasy, and it's perfect with barbecue!" Shitou, who came back from his shift at the mouth of the canyon, took a bite and started to eat.

"This rice is so full!" The old village chief burst into tears as he ate, "If we knew that rice could produce this rice, we wouldn't have killed so many people..."

"Old village head, don't mention the sad past! Now, under the leadership of the lord, we are all living a good life, and no one will starve to death in the future!" Wang Meng, who also returned from the shift, patted the old village head on the shoulder. said comfortingly.

"Thank you Lord Lord..."

In the end, while eating rice, the villagers thanked Huanyan with great sincerity.

Since it was only the end of June, after the first season of rice was harvested, Huanyan immediately arranged for people to start plowing and plowing the field, and then planted the second season of rice.

But if it is midsummer, the temperature is very high, so the fields are almost dry, and it is very difficult to plow the fields, and it is almost impossible to start.

"Lord, it's too dry! The soil is so hard that you can't move it!" the old village chief reported.

"Build ditches!" After thinking for a while, Huan Yan made an arrangement.

With Huanyan's current magic attainments, it is entirely possible to summon a large amount of water with water-based magic, enough for the villagers to plow the fields, but Huanyan has always wanted to weaken the proportion of magic in the daily life of the villagers.

For one thing, too much use of magic by Huan Yan to help the villagers will cause a lot of dependence on the villagers, which is by no means a good thing in the long run.

Secondly, cultivating the abilities of the villagers is far better than being their nanny!

It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them to fish, and to solve problems for them is far worse than to teach them how to solve problems!
"Ditch?" The old village chief was puzzled: "Isn't there a ditch in our field? But there is no water!"

At the beginning of opening up the fertile land, the villagers did build some ditches in the field according to Huanyan's instructions, but now there is no water everywhere, what is the use of the ditches?
"It's not the ditch, but the ditch that brings water from other places!" Huan Yan patiently explained.

"Water diversion?" The old village chief was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Oh! Sir, you mean to dig a ditch from the river to the field, and divert water for irrigation?"

"That's it! But the ditch can't be dug too deep, nor can it be too shallow, and gates must be installed in suitable places to ensure that they can be opened and closed."

Afterwards, the two had a series of in-depth discussions, and the old village chief didn't walk away until he fully understood.

"This old village chief really can't stay idle!" Huan Yan said with a smile.

"That's right, the old village chief just likes to do something, and he can't stay idle." Qianqian spoke from the side.

Huanyan proposed early on that the old village chief should take care of his old age and have a good rest.But the old village chief himself was not happy. In his own words: poor people can't stay idle, and after a long time of idleness, their whole body hurts.

"Qianqian, how is your practice progress these days? Let's practice~"

Finally free, Huanyan taught Qianqian how to practice Jade Girl Swordsmanship, and at the same time explained to Qianqian a series of problems encountered in her practice.

In this way, the day passed.

"Hey, Qianqian, what are you..." Early the next morning, Huanyan said in surprise, "Isn't this the clothes I gave you last time? Why are you wearing them now?"

When Huanyan was doing a demonstration before, she made an improved version of Hanfu for women and gave it to Qianqian.

But these days, Qianqian has never worn it, and Huanyan almost forgot about it. It was not until today, when Qianqian put on the Hanfu, that Huanyan remembered it.

Qianqian is already young and handsome, but her perfect figure is paired with this exquisite Hanfu, giving Huanyan a sense of returning to the Han and Tang Dynasties.

"It's really beautiful!" Huan Yan praised.

"Really?" Qianqian squinted her eyes and smiled, and turned around: "In the past, only Qianqian had this dress. What if people gossiped about wearing it? Today our clothing store opens, so naturally I can wear it It's gone!"

"Who will gossip about you?" Huanyan couldn't laugh or cry, and then said: "Is the clothing store open today? I don't even know, let's go and see!"

In nearly half a month, two 'tailors' finally made the first batch of clothes, and finally started selling them.

"Our lord is so busy, of course he doesn't know!" Qianqian rolled her delicate eyes, and led Huanyan to the clothing store.

There are nearly [-] shops in the commercial area of ​​Yan Village, nearly half of them are owned by Huanyan, and the other half are rented by the villagers themselves.

As for matters such as rental and sales, the old village head has always been in charge.

The villagers who opened the shops are all craftsmen. There is a barbecue shop run by Widow Li, who has the best barbecue in the village, and a weaving shop run by 'Zhang Houzi'.

Huanyan, who hadn't wandered around the village for a few days, was quite interested, stopping and stopping along the way, quite satisfied.

"Watching a dilapidated village that is about to perish come back to life in my own hands, and then slowly move towards a well-off life..."

"This feeling is really good!" Huanyan finally came to the clothing store with a faint smile on her lips.

The decoration of the clothing store is very simple, but it is very practical, and it also fits the simple style of Yancun.

Rows of Hanfu are hung on the walls on both sides of the store. Nowadays, many people are buying clothes in the store, and most of them are women, especially young women...

New clothes, no matter when and where, are always girls' favorite.

Seeing the girls who were originally wearing animal skins spend a few silver coins to buy a set of Hanfu to change into, Huanyan nodded secretly.

"Wearing animal skins shows wild beauty, while wearing Hanfu, the temperament has changed drastically, and I feel much more educated..."

"Sure enough, Hanfu still looks much better than animal skins!"

The girls were also very happy to wear the beautiful Hanfu. Within a day after the opening of the clothing store, all the villagers without exception bought at least one set of clothes!
"This dress looks so slippery!"

"Yeah, it's light, cool, and slippery!"

"This is much more comfortable to wear than animal skins!"

The villagers talked a lot and were extremely satisfied.
