Li forgot to worry, pretended to think about things, walked slowly to Li Heng's side and asked in a low voice, "Li Heng, do you have any mulberry paper at home?"
"Ah?" Li Qieyou quietly appeared, startled the old man, and returned to his mind for a long time: "go back to Lang Jun, there is no in the house. If necessary, you may have to go to Huxian county to buy it."
"Well, OK, I see." Li forgot to worry and nodded, thinking that he would like to go out.
Mulberry paper, also known as "hanpi paper" in ancient times, originated in the Han Dynasty.
It takes mulberry bark as raw material, so it is called mulberry paper.
It is characterized by tenderness, insect resistance, strong pulling force, no fading and strong water absorption. It is mainly used for calligraphy and painting, mounting, umbrella making and so on.
The reason why Li forgot to worry about looking for this mulberry paper is naturally related to the way he just thought of making money.
At noon, Su Changqing cooked in person and Peilan helped. The four finally had their first lunch at their new home in Dingzhou village.
While cooking, Su Changqing sighed when she saw the eggs sent by the villagers.
"Forget your worries. You'd better return these eggs."
Li forgot to worry about it and shook his head. "They won't take it, not to mention it's too hurtful. The men in Guanzhong won't take back the things they sent out if they starve."
"But..." Su Changqing felt uncomfortable when he thought of the children's eager eyes.
"Well, you and Perrin will cook these eggs later. After dinner, we'll go to the village and give them to the children as gifts."
Li's idea was unanimously recognized by everyone. Su Changqing and Peilan worked for a long time and cooked all the more than 100 eggs sent by the villagers.
After lunch, Li Qieyou led Su Changqing and Peilan, carrying a basket of boiled eggs in their hands, and went door to door to deliver eggs.
Those farmers clumsily refused, but Li forgot to worry that this was the rule of the family. No one can refuse to move and give the baby an egg to eat.
The children in the village were timid. They leaned out their heads carefully and eagerly from behind their adults. They didn't dare to reach for the eggs.
Regardless of how dirty the bear children rolling in the mud every day, Su Changqing and Peilan pulled them over and stuffed the eggs into their hands.
Boiled eggs can't be sold or put, so under the acquiescence of their adults, these children clumsily peel the egg shell and gobble down this precious egg
Several children almost choked because they ate too quickly, which scared several people in a hurry to pour water for him and let them eat slowly.
Many children even ate eggs for the first time. After three or two bites, they said, "it turns out that eggs taste like this."
More sensible children silently put the eggs away, or put them into the hands of their brothers, sisters or mothers
Su Changqing almost burst into tears when she looked at the scene in front of her.
She never thought that people could live so hard, which simply subverted the psychological cognition of modern urban women.
Li forgot to worry about the 127 households and more than 100 children in the village. They went all over the village in the afternoon and gave all their eggs to these farm children.
The village's farmers see Li forget their worries. In their eyes, there is less strangeness and more gratitude
Li forget worry several people also to their future to settle in the village a bit more deeper understanding and feelings.
To end with Su Changqing's words is to "break the ice" in the expansion training of new employees in later enterprises.
In the afternoon, the people continued to clean up their new home.
The Li family's old house is not big. It's a courtyard in front and back. Although the old village has been taken care of by them, there are many places that they need to tidy up by themselves.
In addition to the hall house in the front yard, there are two side houses on the left and right. Li Heng stubbornly chose to live in the side house in the front yard.
There are three North rooms in the backyard. The main room in the middle is Li forgetful. Su Changqing lives in the side room next to him.
There are two East and West Wing rooms, and the East Wing room is used as a study by Li Qieyou.
In the West Wing room, Li forgot to worry about letting the little girl Peilan live, but she was unwilling to live in the West Wing room. Finally, Li forgot to worry about her and let her live in the ear room.
After some tossing and turning, until the sun was about to set, the people finally cleaned up the old house. Finally, the family was able to live.
Li Qieyou was also tired and sweating, but he didn't mean to ask pelan to help him prepare hot water. Instead, he went to the well to draw a bucket of water and prepare to wipe himself.
Su Changqing also came out of the room with a wooden basin. When he saw Li forget worry, he couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "forget worry, I'm so tired. There's no place to take a bath. I feel uncomfortable every day without taking a bath."
Li Qieyou couldn't help rolling his eyes again. Aunt, this is Datang. Please bear it.
The Tang Dynasty is already the dynasty that loves bathing most. Even so, bathing is still a luxury. Not only taking a bath, but also washing your hair is also a very troublesome thing in Datang.
Therefore, the ancients invented a very "disgusting" method to comb their hair with a very fine comb and grate. The purpose is to comb the lice and hair oil off their hair. The taste can be imagined.
Even officials of Datang take a rest on the 10th. Naturally, rest is rest. Of course, bathing is going home to take a bath.
Even special officials take a bath every ten days. The beautiful boss wants to take a bath every day as in modern times. Beautiful you, do you think you are concubine Yang?
Li forgets worry and knows that Su Changqing is actually a little clean, which is normal. If a modern baifumei doesn't even have the habit of cleanliness, it's not strong enough.
He make complaints about it. He is not used to it. He make complaints about it.
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said to Su Changqing, "Changqing, since the girl Peilan in the West Wing room doesn't want to live, why don't we change it into a bathroom?"
"Bathroom?" Su Changqing's eyes brightened when Li forget you said, "but how do you get hot water and water pipes? There's no running water?"
"Hey, hey, these are simple, but they can't beat me!" Li forgetful replied confidently. In fact, there were local solutions in the countryside when I was a child.
"Can you get a bathroom by the way?" Su Changqing hesitated and asked. She's really fed up with Datang's toilet. It's a kind of torture.
"No problem, it's up to me." Li forgets worry. In fact, he is also very annoyed with the sanitary conditions of Datang. As a modern man, no one can stand such sanitary conditions.
Li forgets worry to think of here, also don't draw water to take a bath, excitedly rush into the study, pick up the paper and pen and start sketching.
In the past, when I was a child in the countryside, when there was no motor well at first, many families in the countryside installed their own local tap water. Although it was simple, it was very practical.
As it happens, the Li family's old house is backed by a hill, and a mountain spring flows not far away, which can save the effort of manual water pressure.
Only a few thick moso bamboos can connect the mountain spring water source to the old house, which is more environmentally friendly and economical than tap water.
As for the toilet, it's not a matter. Isn't it just digging a sewer?
Li forgot to worry about painting and sketching on the paper. Su Changqing also came to be interested and gave advice. They even thought of asking the kiln mouth for firing porcelain to help them burn a batch of ceramic tiles. It was pasted into the bathroom. It was a modern bathroom.
At that time, even the flush toilet will be fired with ceramics, which will be very beautiful!
Drainage pipes are also made of clay. This process is nothing. Li forgets that he once saw ceramic drainage pipes more than 4000 years ago in the museum.
Even Li forgets to worry about whether to dig another biogas digester by the way, which is clean and hygienic, can compost, and biogas can light a lamp to boil water, killing one stone.
Datang version of bathroom renovation plan released!
The draft was well drawn. Li forgetful and Su Changqing enjoyed it for a long time and were very satisfied. Soon, however, Li forgot to worry and threw the draft aside with a long sigh.
"Forget worry, what are you doing? Isn't this a good plan? When to start the bathroom? I can't wait." Su Changqing didn't understand why Li forget worry sighed and picked up the draft.
"What are you doing? I don't have any money!" Li forgot to worry and smiled bitterly. He drew a sketch and found that it would cost a lot to build such a bathroom.
Just asking people to go up the mountain to cut bamboo and build water pipelines is a huge expense, not to mention other expenses. Li forgot to worry about it. I'm afraid I can't build this bathroom without ten years of money.
It seems that I really have to do what I thought before. Otherwise, let alone improve my life. Even the upcoming locust disaster, the family doesn't have enough rations to survive safely.
"Changqing, I'm going to the county tomorrow. Maybe I'll come back in a few days, and I'll give it to you at home." Li forgets worry and makes up his mind, so he explains to Su Changqing.
"What are you doing?"
"Well, there's something I need to go to Yang Ming's house. Don't worry. It's a good thing. Maybe I'll have money when I come back. Hey hey." Li forget you pretended to be mysterious and smiled at Su Changqing.
Seeing that Li forgot his worries, Su Changqing did not force him. Silver teeth bite their lips gently and worry a little: "then go and come back quickly. I'll wait for you at home."
Under the swaying oil lamp, Su Changqing's pretty face looked extremely charming, which made Li forget worry a little crazy, but he looked at the beautiful boss blushing.
Li forgot his worries and finally recovered. He coughed awkwardly: "OK, I see. This time I went to the county government alone. Li Heng and Peilan stayed at home with you. If you have anything, you can tell them to do it."
"You'd better take Li Heng with you so that you can take care of him. It's OK to have me and Peilan at home. I see that the folk custom in Dingzhou village is very simple and will be fine."
Li Qieyou shook his head and refused: "that's not good. I don't trust that there is no man at home. Don't worry. I'll be fine."
In fact, besides worrying that Su Changqing and Peilan are at home alone, the most important thing is that the things he wants to go are really humiliating and gentle. He doesn't want to take Li Heng with him. It's too shameful.
"But when you go out alone, I'm still a little worried. This is Datang."
