Li Zhifeng rolled up his sleeves, poured hot wine for You Miao, and stood aside to prepare dishes. With the housekeeper by his side, and the servant boy listening to orders outside the door, You Miao thought to himself as he sat down, the hard days are finally over!
Since he came to Jiangbo Villa, he finally looked like a young master. You Miao sighed for a while, and said expressionlessly, "Sit down."
"I'll serve you." Li Zhifeng said lightly.
You Miao: "Sit, it's boring to eat alone."
Li Zhifeng just sat down. Three, two, one, the two of them devoured the meal. You Miao stuck his chopsticks into the fish maw and swiped the fish into the bowl. Li Zhifeng couldn't stop serving You Miao. The dishes made by Sister Qian were too salty. You Miao was thirsty and said, "Why do the dishes have so much salt."
Li Zhifeng replied: "I went to the kitchen to see that you have a bland taste. She said that only rich people can afford salt, so she put more salt."
You Miao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although the food was delicious, the taste was heavy. She took two big bowls and ate Li Zhifeng's bowl of egg custard thoroughly before drinking tea with satisfaction and burping. When I went out, I saw Sister Qian sitting on the threshold of the kitchen to eat, and said, "Sister-in-law, put less salt in the future. But the food you cook is delicious, and my father's family is not capable of it."
Sister Qian said with a smile, "What? Young master is used to eating."
The noisy backyard was brightly lit, and in the Shenyuan it was like beating gongs and drums to set up a stage. The laughter and shouts spread far into the front yard. You Miao lay on the bed and couldn't sleep. He sat up several times and watched curiously. What are those people shouting about, they want to go over and find someone to chat with.
However, during the second watch, he heard Li Zhifeng say from a distance behind the courtyard wall, "Young master is going to sleep, you all be quiet."
So the whole Shenyuan fell asleep and gradually became quiet. You Miao couldn't help laughing in her heart. After a while, Li Zhifeng's voice said from outside the room, "No need to keep watch, all go to sleep."
The two servants waiting outside went to sleep, Li Zhifeng came in, lay down behind the screen, and You Miao said, "Housekeeper, come to accompany the bed."
"Yeah." Li Zhifeng got up and came over, sat beside the bed and undressed, You Miao kicked him again and said, "You won't be conscious."
Li Zhifeng smiled, flicked his finger, the strong wind shot, the oil lamp went out silently, the room was quiet, and after a while, You Miao's gasping and Li Zhifeng's heavy breathing sounded.
"I love you so much..." You Miao's voice whispered in the darkness: "Slow down, ah!"
"Me too." Li Zhifeng's voice was low and hoarse, You Miao was about to say something, but Li Zhifeng kissed her lips.
After a long time, You Miao hugged Li Zhifeng sideways, buried his head in front of his chest, and fell asleep comfortably.
The next day, You Miao had a sore back, and her whole body was about to fall apart, and was caught by the old craftsman Huang who came to the door.
"I thought you were more diligent!" Huang Lao Jiang glared at him and scolded: "It's only been a few days, and you're lazy again?!"
You Miao is now scared when she hears the voice of Huang Lao Jiang, and hurriedly said: "Yesterday, I was greedy for cups, it was wrong, it was wrong, teacher don't get angry."
"Where did the little beggar come from!" Huang Laojiao blew his beard and stared, and beat Mu Yan and Mufeng's two brothers with crutches. The two young men did not dare to provoke him, so they avoided him. Waiting in the main room, Li Zhifeng took the clothes and served him to get dressed and washed.
Huang Lao Jiang came over this time to ask how the iron was being struck. You Miao called Mu Yan over and reported them one by one. Li Zhifeng waited for You Miao to get up, and went to the town to buy according to You Miao's instructions. You Miao set up a table of meals and accompanied Huang Lao. The craftsman ate lunch, poured him wine again, and the old craftsman Huang was flushed with red, and he went back drunk.
After dinner, You Miao went to the backyard to take a look. Most of the people went out to enclose the land. Yesterday, he specially instructed that the land should not be too close, so that it would be easier to expand and add more in the future. The servant Jin Baoer went to Jiangbei to supervise the work, and there was no one in the whole villa for a while.
No one is good, just do something for yourself, these days are too busy to touch the ground, and also have to read.
Today is the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and in three days, I have to go back to the villa to have dinner with You Dechuan.
You Miao was quite reluctant to give You Dechuan such a good wine, but the bark of a human face tree had to go up empty-handed, and he would be ridiculed in Wang's heart, and it was annoying to think about it.
It was a rare day when there was nothing to do, so You Miao went into the study and started to organize the current affairs.
The land has been reclaimed, but there are still not enough tenants. There is no need to rush this matter, so we can only recruit people slowly. Now there are seven households, and the land is 350 mu. The land is too large. I am afraid that it will not be fully planted in half an hour, so I can only find a way to get new farming tools. As the iron is still there, I will come to take care of it this afternoon. Write, write, and draw as described in the book, and hand over a few drawings to Mu Yan to type.
The waterwheel is nearly complete, and the canals are dug. There were sub-canals crisscrossing the Jiangbo Villa a hundred years ago. As long as the mother canal comes in, all the fields in the entire villa can start planting. The purchase of rapeseed must be done as soon as possible. Gotta do it.
After the completion of the waterwheel, a bamboo tube of 300 feet has to be prepared to guide part of the water from the south of the Yangtze River to the north of the Yangtze River. Following the iron cable that stretches across the cliffs, the bamboo tube is tied, and the bamboo tubes are connected one by one. There is a clear spring on the Jiangbei Mountain, which flows down from Guozhuang, passes through Jiangbei, and then rushes down the river. The bamboo pipe is just to avoid unexpected needs.
It's better to build a suspension bridge. You Miao always feels that every time you cross Jiangbei, you have to go down the river along the road, walk five miles to the pier to take the ferry, and then go up the mountain on the other side, going up and down, it can be annoying, Joe After Jue planted the tea forest, he also had to hire tea farmers to pick tea, and a suspension bridge was necessary. Therefore, the suspension bridge connects the north and the south, and if there are many people walking, a road must be built to lead to the official road in Anlu Village in the south.
As soon as You Miao was free, she wanted to add some weird gadgets to her villa. There are too many interesting things in Tiangongkaiwu, such as a mill that is pushed by water, and a small waterwheel built next to the canal. , It is connected to the organs in the mill, and even the donkey for pulling the mill can be saved, so that if the tenants want to grind something, they can just hold it, as well as the mortar for pounding rice, and the mechanism for dusting the shell.
Zhang Er came, put down his jacket, and said hello to You Miao outside the door.
"Morning sir."
You Miao said lazily: "Come in. Mu Feng! Mu Feng, go and pour some well water in, get some tea from the third grid on the cabinet, and make tea."
Mu Feng went to get the tea set, Zhang Er said with a smile: "There are a lot of people in the house, it's lively."
You Miao yawned and said, "You can live in if you are willing."
Zhang Er smiled and said, "I think so, because I'm afraid the young master will find me annoying."
You Miao said, "You just live in. You can talk to some of my little servants if you have nothing to do. My uncle is also here. If you don't understand your studies, just ask him for advice, and by the way, help take care of the backyard."
