Chang’an Peasant Girl

   Chapter 240 The dead are gone, the living are like this

  When the tank is full of water, Jing Jing blocks the bamboo pipe with wood chips, so that the water can no longer flow out of the bamboo pipe.

   "Master, go and wash the vegetables we picked in the morning."

"Um."

   Waiting for Xiao Changyi to bring out the vegetables, and before the two of them started washing the vegetables, Yu Daming came.

  Yu Daming is here to report the mourning. Landlord Wang passed away, and Yin Shi passed away today.

Yu Daming said solemnly: "Yesterday, after you left, the master has been sleeping, and the young master has been with him in front of the bed. Yesterday, the young master called him the master at lunch and dinner, but he did not respond to the master, and kept sleeping. Yes, if it wasn't for breathing, we would have thought that the master would have left at that time. At the time of today's Yin Shi, because the master has always held the master's hand, he found that the master's body temperature was dropping. Only then did I know that the master has died."

  Quiet sighed in his heart: It seems that the sudden awakening of the landlord yesterday was really a return to light.

   On the second day, An Jing and Xiao Changyi bought incense, candles, firecrackers, paper money, etc. as sacrifices with a heavy heart, and went to the Wang family for mourning.

   Anyway, they and Wang Youbao are friends, and they have to come this time.

   There were many mourning people, and Wang Youbao was very sad because of his father's death. Jing Jing didn't say anything to Wang Youbao, but said a few words of comfort, asking Wang Youbao to mourn and change.

   After returning from the funeral, An Jing and Xiao Changyi began to ponder about Gu Long.

In fact, Gu Long had been thinking about it before she was quiet, and the sketches had already been drawn, but at the beginning, because of Gu Long's structure, she didn't remember very clearly, so many drawings were invalidated until the night before yesterday. Zhang felt that it should be like that. Quiet gave up and stopped painting.

There is not much rice left at home, and it is thanks to the fact that neither of them have eaten rice during this time, but they will always have rice porridge for every meal. The slightly thicker rice porridge is different from the first two. Compared to the days when we were together, An Jing really felt much better.

   To tell the truth, now living with Xiao Changyi, Jingjing enjoys every day, even if the food is not very good, but Jingjing is very happy, she can be happy to the bottom of her heart and sweet to the heart almost every day.

   Gulong is very similar to the stone mill, and is mainly made of bamboo, wood, and loess.

  The whole process of making hulling is roughly divided into seven steps: soil preparation, hulling plate, weaving circle, rammed earth, frying hulling nails, nailing gossip, processing and modeling, etc.

The bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, and baskets at home are all woven by Xiao Changyi. Generally simple things, Xiao Changyi can weave, and weaving loops does not require too advanced skills, and can weave baskets, so be quiet. I didn't find any craftsmen, and directly asked Xiao Changyi to make it according to the blueprint.

   But because it was really troublesome to make Gulong, it took An Jing and Xiao Changyi eight days to make Gulong.

As soon as the   gu hull was made, An Jing and Xiao Changyi pounded the rice with the gu hull.

  The rice pounded in the valley is brown rice, which is not as white as modern machines. This brown rice has to be pounded with a treadmill to become white.

   However, even if you still have to use a treadmill, it is much faster than using a treadmill to pound rice before.

  An Jing and Xiao Changyi spent only one day pounding out 50 catties of rice.

  Quiet watched Xiao Changyi pour the rice into the bottomed rice jar, and asked with a smile, "Master, should the government come to tax the grain soon?"
