I am engaged in construction in Datang

In March of the ninth year of Zhenguan, willow trees sprouted new buds.

On the eastern outskirts of Chang'an City, at the junction of the Bahe and Jinghe Rivers to the north of Mount Li, about ten miles away from Tonghua Gate in the east of the city.

At the entrance of the village, Feng Sanxi was wearing a dark green round-necked silk shirt, a black soft-soled hat embroidered with fine silver edges, a leather belt around his waist, and a pair of long boots.

"To the right, yes, another two inches, then up half a foot..."

"Oh, right! Stop! Stop! Hold it and don't move." Feng Sanxi signaled the craftsman next to him to go up and fix the wooden wedges, and shook the leather belt on his belly with his right hand.

A stone with the words "Nu Zhuang" engraved on it was erected by several men, and the wooden plaque had just been hung.

Li Yingwu and several others carried bundles of bamboo and threw them into a circle surrounded by stones.

"Fire!"

Someone took burning oil paper and hay and stuffed them under the bamboo.

In less than half a minute, crackling sounds were heard.

"Everyone, today my 'Xiao Li Village' is officially renamed 'Nv Village'. My owner has prepared a banquet in the village. Please come and join in the fun." Feng San happily bowed to the people who came around to watch the fun.

"Manager Feng, there are so many of us, can we make it?"

Someone immediately laughed and shouted.

Xiaolizhuang, oh no, it should be called Nuzhuang now. They know that Nuzhuang is rich, but no matter how rich they are, they only live a little better than them, how can they invite so many people to eat.

"If you want to eat delicious food, we don't have that. But you can eat as much as you want. We will serve as many dishes as you want, no matter how many people come!"

"Good! The woman is so generous!"

"Let's go, let's go eat at Nuzhuang today."

The people who came to watch the fun walked in groups of three or four.

……

Li Yin put down her brush and moved the paperweight aside.

The neatly-balanced rhymed verse jumps off the paper, and the handwriting is clear, elegant and beautiful.

Mr. Li has already written up to the seventh chapter of Yu in rhyme, but the children in the village have only learned the third chapter now, so they are not in a hurry to catch up.

"I can't teach by myself all the time, otherwise I won't be able to take care of the affairs of the village. I have to find some teachers."

Li Yin frowned: "I'm still short of money."

"The owner of the village."

Feng Sanxi knocked on the door and came in: "The banquet is ready, waiting for you."

Li Yin stood up and stuffed the rice paper into Feng Sanxi's hands: "Uncle Sanxi, I just finished writing the Seven Yu Chapters, you can take it and copy it."

"I'll change my clothes first."

She usually wore shorts and tied her hair into braids, so it was obviously inappropriate for her to go to the banquet and meet people at this time.

After traveling to the Tang Dynasty for more than a month, a mechanized system came with it.

According to the system, Li Yin's family has been small since her great-great-grandparents, and in Li Yin's generation, there is only one girl, Li Yin. When she was three years old, her parents went out and encountered bandits. When she was seven years old, her cousin went into the water and drowned. This year, her soul from another time and space just opened its eyes, and the only remaining grandfather has already been terminally ill.

Although she is a doctor of medicine, she is helpless when faced with the elderly suffering from organ failure in this era of material scarcity.

"System, you can let me travel through time and space, why can't you provide me with medicine?"

[Host, the system cannot create things out of thin air]

Li Yin: “…”

She put on a robe and tied her hair up with a headband.

The robe was designed by her herself. The sleeves are not so wide and the style is more like men's Hanfu, which is convenient for riding in the fields.

It's not that he doesn't like women's skirts, but her farm is located by the mountains and the water, covering a large area, with more than 1200 acres of farmland alone. She has to go to the fields to check the soil and the growth of the wheat seedlings. She also has to go to the river to see where is suitable for catching fish and crabs and setting up a powered water truck.

There were few people in the village. At the beginning, the old man was afraid that a girl less than 14 years old would not be able to take care of the family business, so he only rented the house to a good family and left Uncle Sanxi for her.

At present, there are 15 tenant households with a total of 57 people, 10 servants, 1 manager, and 69 people including her. If she likes to wear a skirt, it will take at least two people to carry the sedan chair when she goes out.

There are not enough people, how could she bear to waste manpower on carrying the sedan chair?

There were more than 500 people attending the banquet, most of whom were influential people from the surrounding villages and farms. There were also some who were dressed differently and were managers from other farms.

The owner of the manor cannot come, after all, some of the masters behind the scenes are not ordinary wealthy people.

Li Yin came over and Feng Sanxi followed behind her.

"Master Li!"

The people who had seen Li Yin stood up and greeted her. No matter what Li Yin's identity was before, now that she was the owner of the manor, she had to show some respect.

Even though they looked down on her identity as a woman.

Li Yin responded calmly, walked through the seats to the front table and sat down at the main seat. Feng Sanxi followed closely behind and sat at her left.

"Everyone, I, Li Yin, would like to thank you all for coming to watch the ceremony. I would like to help my daughter village shake off the bad luck that has been plaguing us for years."

Li Yin stood up and bowed.

The people around the table stood up and responded, "Master Li, you are too polite."

Seeing this, the people at the table behind also stood up and responded.

Six cold dishes were already on the table. Li Yin picked up her chopsticks and called out to everyone, "Everyone, try this. It's a specialty snack from our village."

"Sweet! Crispy and delicious." Zhao Chengren chewed the Jinguo strips and couldn't help but pick up another one with his chopsticks.

"The taste is pure and full of sweetness. This... must be Rutang (called Rutang in the Tang Dynasty and white sugar later)" Wang Shun took a breath. How much does this cost!

"It's better than fermented dough! Master Li is so generous!"

Feng Sanxi poured a bowl of tea for the stewards at the table, and pointed to a plate of beef: "I saw someone selling an old cow a few days ago, so I bought it and slaughtered it. It's delicious with pickled garlic."

Some people admired it, while others lowered their heads and sighed secretly.

Don't you feel bad when your son sells your father's land? With such nonsense, how much money will be left in the farm?

Li Yin took the tea bowl, took a sip and frowned.

Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.

I forgot that tea at that time was not fried yet. When brewing tea, you had to put onions, ginger, salt, pepper, mint, musk, orange peel...

Everyone ate meat and drank tea, and plates of hot dishes were prepared and served.

No one complained about the lack of drinks, which were expensive at the time and could not withstand being wasted by too many people.

"Hey! What is this?" Zhao Chengren picked up something about the length of his little finger and put it into his mouth.

"It has a chewy and delicious texture, and a sweet and sour taste. Is it coated with flour and fried? It tastes like meat but not meat. The soup..."

Zhao Chengren squinted his eyes: "Delicious, delicious!"

"what is this?"

"Zhao has never eaten this before."

Feng Sanxi's smile deepened: "This thing is called yuba, and it's something we made recently in Zhuangzi."

A servant came over with a tray on which were placed a few pieces of dried bean curd sheets and a wooden bowl filled with soaked bean curd sheets.

"Everyone, please take a look."

Feng Sanxi distributed the finger-long dried bean curd sticks to several managers.

"As long as the dried bean curd sticks are soaked for two hours, they can be used for cooking."

"Everyone, let's eat first and talk after we finish." Li Yin stopped several managers from asking questions.

Just kidding, it would take several hours to finish this, so forget about eating, she is still hungry.

"Okay, okay! Let's eat first."
