The new book of the burning prairie star

Yang Biao still spent money to buy a pot and a bow, and asked the blacksmith to get ten arrows.

"You have to pay for the arrows separately." The blacksmith said hurriedly when he saw that he didn't know that the bow and arrow were sold separately.

"Aren't bows and arrows sold together? When you buy a bow, you get an arrow for free." Yang Biao thought that since the bow and arrow were listed together, it was natural that if you bought a bow, the arrow would be paired together. Nowadays, people don't bargain much when buying things, and I envy those who bargain.

"The bow and arrow are not sold together. The bow is made of deer tendons, which are relatively rare and naturally expensive. The arrowheads are all made of iron. These arrowheads require a lot of iron. The price will be the same for others. I won't sell you more." The blacksmith explained.

Hearing the blacksmith's words, Yang Biao still felt uneasy. Forget it, it's my fault for liking it. Money can't buy my happiness. He took out eight taels of silver, took the goods and left.

He went to the grocery store and bought two large vats, three small jars, a large wooden barrel for steaming wine, and a large wooden barrel for steaming rice, and filled the carriage to the brim.

"Brother Biao, what are you buying these big jars for?" When I went to Xinglong Teahouse to pick up the village head at Youshi, the village head was stunned when he saw the two big jars. "Return them quickly. Aren't there big and small jars in my Zhuzi yard? Just wash them and you can use them. Return these wooden barrels too. Ask your uncle to go up the mountain and cut some fir trees, and we can make them." The village head wondered how this child could spend money so much, and how little Zhang was so careless, why didn't she care about the money and let the child spend it so much?

"Uncle, the village head, this kid is useful." Yang Biao sat on the shaft of the cart without moving.

"What's the use? You can make it at home without spending any money and it's sturdy." The village head really didn't understand the young man's thoughts. Not everything you buy is necessarily good. In his opinion, sturdiness and durability are the bottom line.

"I'll make something today so I can sell it for some money. I'll be staying at Mr. Liu's house copying things starting tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't have time to do it. You'll know what I'm doing later." Yang Biao explained with a smile. Yang Biao thought of going home to copy out the copy of the collection, and Mr. Liu couldn't have thought of it. Originally, he wanted Yang Biao to stay in Liu's house until he finished copying. Seeing that he was still studying, would take the imperial examinations, and had a special family, he wanted to make friends with him and have a way out for himself, thinking that he might be grateful in the future and allow him to go home and sleep every two nights.

"Then go back quickly." Seeing that Yang Biao was not willing to give in, the village head gave up the idea of ​​forcing him to return the goods.

I have to say that the carriage was indeed fast enough, but it was a bit bumpy and could not be compared to the comfort of driving a car on a dirt road in modern times.

After returning to Yangjia Village, I first dropped off the village headman and then sent the things home. After paying the horseman for the rental, I watched him drive away. I went to the grain storage room in the rented house and weighed three pounds of glutinous rice, soaked it in water, and then put on the bamboo basket and the hatchet, intending to go up the mountain to chop some firewood before it got completely dark.

Passing by the water meadow, a patch of red and purple caught my eye. It was Polygonum hydropiper. I quickly went forward, put the bamboo basket on the ground, used a hatchet to cut the flowering Polygonum hydropiper and put it into the bamboo basket.

If I had known it was growing here, I wouldn't have spent money to buy it. But I'm glad I didn't buy much, so it's not a pity, Yang Biao consoled himself.

When he got home, he saw a big family and two children sitting at the dining table, eagerly waiting for him to eat together. He felt that the scene was very warm and familiar. In modern times, when you eat at home, you are also the one who is waiting to eat with you.

But he still said, "Mom, if my brother and sister-in-law are hungry, let them eat first. They don't have to wait for me to eat together."

"Mom said it's okay if brother is not at home, but if he is, our family must sit together to eat." Yang Xiaohua hurriedly served him food.

Yang Biao turned to look at Xiao Zhang, who smiled at him gently and said, "You must be hungry. Eat quickly." Then she handed him a pair of chopsticks.

Yang Biao took the chopsticks and the family started eating.

"Today, my aunt came to check out our homestead and said that since I was still so young, she asked Brother Zi'an to preside over the groundbreaking ceremony, saying that he was the eldest son and grandson in the family and I was not qualified." Yang Lin felt aggrieved when he thought of what happened this morning.

"Don't pay attention to her. We are two families now." Hearing his younger brother's grievances, Yang Biao remembered the household registration he had handled in the afternoon and hurriedly took it out to show his mother.

"This seal smells so good," Yang Xiaohua smelled it while sticking to the household registration paper.

"Well, the government's ink is made with a special process and is very anti-counterfeiting."

"Anti-counterfeiting? What does that mean?" The two little ones were confused.

"It's to ensure that the items are real at first glance. People can tell if they are fake and won't be cheated." Yang Biao explained with a smile.

"This is the household registration." Yang Lin looked at it again and again. "With this, we don't have to worry about uncle and his family? Can we say that we are two families?"

"Yes, my brother is the head of the household. It will be impossible for grandpa and grandma to support us in our old age unless our eldest uncle and third uncle are all dead."

"You're talking more nonsense." Mrs. Zhang hit her eldest son.

"That's the law of the court. When it comes to providing for grandparents in their old age, their sons cannot be exempted." Yang Biao thought that this law of the Shang Dynasty was good. Since his son was still alive, there was no reason to ask his grandson to provide for his old age.

"What did Uncle Li Zheng say about Wang's making such a fuss?" Yang Biao had great confidence in the head of the village. If he couldn't even handle such a small matter, he would definitely not be able to be the head of the village for so many years.

"Uncle Village Chief told her to get out of here as far as she could." Yang Xiaohua laughed. "Brother, you didn't see how ugly my aunt's face was."

"Mom, you should stand up straight in front of your aunt in the future. Dad is gone, but you still have two sons to support you. We should do things uprightly and don't be afraid of her." Yang Biao felt that Xiao Zhang was too weak in front of Wang. According to his idea, it was Xiao Zhang who should say something like "Wang should get out of here".

"Well, I have my son's support, so I'm not afraid." Yang Biao saw that she was still a little lacking in confidence. She felt helpless, thinking that she had been staying at home, and the head of the village was just in front. If Wang came to make trouble, she could shout in the yard and the head of the village would come immediately. She thought she would not suffer any loss.

Now we still have to open up the source and brew the wine. To brew the wine, we need koji. Today we will make the koji first, and then take a leave after fermentation. When we reach the process of steaming the wine, the collector's edition will have been copied long ago.

After soaking the glutinous rice for half an hour, I took it out and put it into a stone mortar to grind it into powder. At this time, I missed the modern crusher very much. In less than a minute, the glutinous rice was all ground into powder. Unlike now, my hands kept pounding and pounding, and my hands were sore, but I still didn’t get much glutinous rice powder. Fortunately, there were several stone mortars in the grain storage room. Everyone pounded separately, which shortened the time a lot. If I pounded it alone, I don’t know how long it would take.

Remove the flowers of Polygonum hydropiper, wash and crush them, add them to 2 catties of glutinous rice flour, then pour in mountain spring water, mix them together, and then knead them into balls like flour, pinch them into balls the size of quail eggs, put them into a large bamboo sieve with a clean straw base, and then cover them with a layer of clean straw, cover them with cloth, and ferment them for two days. When you see white hairs, you can put them in the sun to dry the moisture. The work of drying them is left to my mother and sister. In hot weather, they can be dried in the sun for about three days, and the wine yeast will be ready. Perfect!
