From the end of the world to ancient times with the writer system

Yangjiabu is a large village with a population of more than 1000. If it is more, it will be comparable to those small towns.Even so, the wealthy landlords who still live in the village today do not have much wealth, at least not as rich as Ji's family.When the money has accumulated to a certain extent, few people are willing to live in the village, and most of them will move to towns or county towns to settle down.

Ji's family moved to Yangjiabu at the beginning, and that was a last resort.After Ji Xuanhe took the place of the original owner, because he and Shao Yunchen were too young to interact with people and treat them badly, in order to be safe, they simply lived there for several years.

If there is no accident, Ji Xuanhe plans to move to Ji's house in Kangping County after a few years, when he is fourteen or fifteen years old.

The carriage was driving on the road that had just been repaired and leveled. Ji Xuanhe was thinking about things, and when he had made a decision, his mind relaxed and he felt a little drowsy.The shockproof performance of the carriage is good, as long as it is not traveling fast, it feels no worse than lying in a swaying cradle.

The imperial court is really good in this regard, the official road is often maintained by people, the money for road construction is collected from local taxes, and the villages passing by the official road only need to send some labor.The working hours of the labor can cover the corvee, and the pavement is repaired at the door of the house. It is close and not too tiring. There are not too many people who want to participate.Such a good deed, the people naturally competed for it.You must know that most farmers do not have so much money to replace corvee, and building roads and city walls every year is a sought-after job.

All the utensils in the carriage are specially designed, and because the carriage is mostly used for pulling goods, these utensils can be disassembled.Shao Yunchen was holding a cup in his hand. The mouth and lid of the cup were made of spiral pattern, and after tightening, there was no leakage, which was suitable for use on a carriage.

Shao Yunchen unscrewed the lid and took a sip of hot tea, only to find that Ji Xuanhe had occasionally exchanged a few words just now, but now he suddenly fell silent.He turned his head and looked, then laughed silently.Over the years, Shao Yunchen has also known Ji Xuanhe very well. Normally, it is fine, but as soon as he is in the carriage, as long as it takes a little longer, Ji Xuanhe will naturally feel drowsy, as if the carriage has a hypnotic effect.

At the beginning, Ji Xuanhe leaned his head on the carriage in a regular manner, and then his head began to shake little by little.Shao Yunchen was afraid that he would fall, so he put the cup away and let Ji Xuanhe lean on him.

Autumn is the harvest season, but this year we can't see such a scene.Through the window, what Shao Yunchen saw most along the way was vegetables that were still green, and food crops were sparse.Some fields are empty, and some are similar to Ji's family. They are planted with potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans and other crops with many uses.

It is estimated that these crops will be kept until the first frost, how long they can grow, and the harvest can be a little bit more.From the responses of the common people, we can see the attitudes of the heads of each family. If it were Shao Yunchen himself, the fields would never be left empty.

Kangping County grows one season of crops a year. As long as the fertilizer is applied properly, there is no need to rest the field for crop rotation.Even if you can't grow food crops, you can just sprinkle some pasture seeds. You can't afford to raise cattle, but raising sheep and pigs is not enough, right?No matter how bad it is, it can be fertile, right?

Fortunately, Shao Yunchen only thought about it in his heart and didn't tell others about these thoughts, otherwise Mother Duan and the others would definitely talk about it.Not everyone is as successful as Shao Yunchen, if everyone is so smart, there will be no distinction between rich and poor in Jinchao, and everyone will be able to live a good life.

It is precisely because people's ideas are so different that life is so colorful.

"Xuanhe, wake up, you're home." Shao Yunchen folded the thin blanket covering Ji Xuanhe's body, put it in a storage box beside him, and then shook him awake.

After Ji Xuanhe came to Jinchao, although his vigilance dropped a lot, he woke up immediately when he was gently shaken. He was still blindfolded, but he became sober in an instant, and he returned to normal after seeing the familiar environment. look.

Shao Yunchen has seen this kind of situation a lot, except for the first few times he was a little confused, after that he got used to it.The two put away their clothes and went down hand in hand.

At this time, the sky was dark, only the last ray of the setting sun remained.

Ji's family has a very regular schedule, and usually they have already finished eating by this time.Ji's family rules are not that big, and because Ji Xuanhe doesn't want someone to stand beside him all the time when eating, as long as the servant girl prepares the meal, let them eat outside.

The rooms in Ji's house are very large. According to the rules, Ji Xuan and Tong Shao Yunchen should each share a yard. At first, they were both young, so they shared the same bedroom.Later, Ji Xuanhe replaced the original owner. He never thought about enjoying the blessings of being equal, so naturally he didn't need to sleep in separate rooms, and the two of them slept together all the time.

The main room was originally divided into inner and outer rooms, and later, under Ji Xuanhe's suggestion, the layout was re-arranged, and a small room was separated between the inner and outer rooms, which was entitled to be used as a dining room in winter.At other times, Ji Xuan and his wife dined in the main room.

At this time, most of the meals have been cooked, and only the vegetables need to be cooked fresh.Today's dinner is cooked by Duan's mother in the small kitchen, and the cook is in charge of it on weekdays.

It seems that Duan's mother felt that the two masters had a hard time going out, and wanted to make up for them. The meals were very rich, and they prepared two more dishes than before.Mama Duan knew what the masters meant, so the number of dishes increased, but the amount of dishes was appropriately reduced.

The Ji family has few masters and few servants, but there are the most basic rules.Except for the two masters and Old Master Zhen, the other servants have different meals according to their duties.If you want to eat something good, you can pay for it on the stove, or simply do it yourself.

After the meal, Ji Xuanhe wrote a few big characters, which looked pretty eye-catching, and put them together with the previous big characters after the ink was dry.Ji Xuanhe never thought that he still has time to practice calligraphy every day.He knows how to write with a brush, thanks to the compulsory education. When he was in school, the elementary school had calligraphy classes every week, and everyone knew how to write with a brush. Most students were perfunctory, and he was no exception.

At that time, when I was young and shopping, I seldom calmed down to draw red.When I am older and sensible, the calligraphy courses are gone.Without the pressure of the teacher, who would practice calligraphy by themselves?

Jin Chao could only use candles and oil lamps for lighting at night, and the light was not bright enough. Ji Xuanhe didn't let Shao Yunchen read books and do accounts, so he could only play the piano and play chess, and write a few large characters from time to time to pass the boring time.

In addition to these, Ji Xuanhe also spends an hour or two on coding. He usually goes to bed early, while Shao Yunchen usually goes to bed later.

When Ji Xuanhe finished typing, his mind returned to his body, the room was already dark, Shao Yunchen was next to him, with his hands on his waist, and he was soundly asleep.Seeing this, Ji Xuanhe slowly fell asleep with a smile on his lips.

Since then, Ji Xuanhe has been thinking about how to make a good bow whenever he has time.Making a bow is not difficult, the difficulty lies in how to make it well.In the past, Ji Xuanhe had tools at hand, but now he can only use the crude equipment he already has, basically starting from scratch.

Old Master Zhen doesn't know this skill, and with his extensive knowledge, he can also give some pointers from others.He looked at the last two students he accepted, one couldn't be an official, and the other had no intention of an official career. It was painful but also happy.Now I can see the youngest student making bows that are said to be defective one after another. Old Master Zhen is watching jokes happily, and his appetite is bigger than before.

Ji Xuanhe looked at the unscrupulous old master gloating at his misfortune, squinting a few times to represent his attitude, just laugh as you please, don't be as knowledgeable as the old man.

Old Master Zhen picked up a bow that was marked as defective by Ji Xuanhe, tried it out in a stance, it was not very good, but it was enough to hit a prey.Old Master Zhen put down his bow, watched Ji Xuanhe busy there, muttered a few times, then walked around with his hands behind his back, and went out to find someone to chat with.

In the past few years, Old Master Zhen has lived like a duck to water in Ji's house.I teach two students in the morning, and in the afternoon, I go to the village to chat with the old men, and occasionally I can find a companion to play chess and go. The life is really nourishing.

In a big village like Yangjiabu, there are always some farmers who are relatively wealthy, and the elderly don't need to work very much, and have more leisure time. A few old men can work together for a day.

For the convenience of blending in, Old Master Zhen wore cotton clothes, so that he would not stand out from the crowd when he stood with the old people in the village.Because Ji Xuanhe is still young, he occasionally hangs out with Old Master Zhen, but he is also familiar with these old people in the village.

Old Master Zhen went to the village to be cool as usual, while Ji Xuanhe was still playing with bows and arrows in the main room.There are only two kinds of arrowheads for the time being, one made of bone and one made of wood. Ji Xuanhe didn't do it himself, and Shen Qing and Qishan assigned the work of arrowheads to them.

When Ji Xuanhe made a few shoddy bows and arrows, Shen Qingqishan had already made quite a few arrowheads.The two were also farmers' children before, and they sold themselves to Ji's family when they couldn't survive. They picked up the bow and arrow on the table and tried it out, and they felt that it was okay.

"These bows are made of common materials, and the craftsmanship is so-so, so you can use them as you like." Ji Xuanhe looked up occasionally, and saw that the two men were holding bows and arrows a little fondly, so he generously gave each of them one.

There are hunters in Yangjiabu, so hunting bows and hunting dogs are indispensable.Don't look at Ji Xuanhe who can make bows and arrows easily, people who don't have this skill really can't do it.Adding up the entire Yangjiabu villagers, there are not enough people with bows and arrows.

After hearing this, Shen Qing and Qi Shan happily each picked a bow and couldn't wait to try their skills.After asking Ji Xuanhe for instructions, the two went out with bows and arrows in hand.

Shen Qing Qishan, as the guard, has his own customary weapons.Due to the issue of imperial weapon control, Ji Xuanhe prepared two long sticks and short swords for the two of them, two long sticks for each person, one wooden stick and one iron stick.

Yangjiabu is located on a plain, several miles away from the nearest mountain, and it takes a lot of work for the villagers to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

With Shen Qingqishan as the nursing home, they didn't pay attention to this point of the road at all, and they walked to the foot of the mountain with ease.

The two had never practiced bows and arrows, and their accuracy was poor. Fortunately, the arrow branches can be recycled, and after the initial discomfort, they can barely shoot the big undefended prey.Beginners who want to kill with one arrow simply look down on those who have been practicing archery for many years. If they want to shoot through the wood with a hundred steps and hit the target with every shot, it is impossible without years of practice.

No one in Ji's family knew how to hunt, only Shen Qing and Qi Shan would go up the mountain to look for some pheasants and hares when they happened to be greedy.Most of the masters of the Ji family imported livestock raised by their own village. If they wanted to eat game, they bought it from the hunters in the village. The hunters didn't have any here, so they asked Uncle Qiu to buy them in Kangping County.

Now that Ji Xuan and himself have mastered the skill of making bows and arrows, they will be able to enjoy hunting in the mountains in the future.

"Yo, were you two beating this?" Crepe looked at the goat thrown at the kitchen door, whose blood hadn't completely dried up, with surprise in his eyes.She had seen pheasants and hares several times, but it was the first time the two of them had hunted goats.Crepe flipped through it, feeling a little pity, "Why did you get bloody? It's not good to eat meat with blood in it. Look, both of you are also covered in blood. Hurry up and change your clothes, and be careful not to hinder the masters." Eye."

"Then, let's clean it up first, Mommy, you are busy." Qi Shan also felt a little uncomfortable, so he dragged Shen Qing back to the room to clean.

When Crepe's first arrived at Ji's house, she knew some cooking skills, and after learning from Mama Duan for a period of time, she knew more dishes and improved her cooking skills a lot.

The Jin Dynasty paid attention to inheritance of all kinds of crafts. Generally, if you want to learn crafts, you can only learn from a master or become an apprentice.This is also one of the reasons why the time-traveling predecessors have worked so hard for so long, but they only improved productivity by a bit.

The Ji family needs a cook, and it is impossible for the Chi family to become an apprentice, and it is even more unrealistic to ask for a teacher.Faced with this situation, the method Ji Xuanhe took was to ask Uncle Qiu to buy a dish or two from the restaurant when he went to the county town to inspect the shop, and let her and Mama Duan ponder it together.Not to mention how well it can be done, at least [-]% to [-]% of it is always possible to learn, and it is not impossible to add or subtract some ingredients by yourself to make your own unique dishes.

Nowadays, Chichi's culinary skills may not be better than that of a chef, but the dishes he has mastered are no less than any chef.Both Ji Xuan and Tong Shao Yunchen came from wealthy families, and the cooks in the house are better at cooking than Crepe's, and they are more particular about the ingredients.The two can accept delicate dishes, and they don't think there is anything wrong with dishes that show the true nature of ingredients.

Chef Jinchao pays attention to cuisine, but Chichishi is transferred to serve some of the dishes he teaches.As long as the masters like it, Uncle Qiu will try his best to get dishes, and then Chichi will study hard, and when she thinks it is almost ready, she will serve it to Ji Xuan and his wife's dinner table.

Even so, there are certain dishes that Ji Xuan and his husband don't have the good fortune to eat often.For example, ingredients such as chicken wings and chicken feet that need to be slaughtered to obtain a lot of poultry, the crepe family has no way at all, and the masters can only go to restaurants if they want to eat.

These cooking seasons are available in the Shao Mansion, but not all masters have such a share.Ji Xuanhe didn't eat it a few times when he was in Jifu, no amount of family property can afford such a waste, can it?

After scrapping several more bows one after another, Ji Xuanhe finally produced a bow and arrow that he was quite satisfied with.The material is the same as the previous one, and it is very ordinary. The difference between this bow and other waste bows is that it looks more coordinated. Whether it is the bow arm or the bow string, it is full and tense at first glance. strength.

Ji Xuanhe asked people to carve out a place in the small garden and set up a fixed target.Ji Xuanhe is young and has weak arms, but the bows he makes are designed according to the height of adult men.Ji Xuan and Kankan drew the bow half full, and after aiming, the arrow shot out from the string. The wish was beautiful, but the reality was so cruel that the arrow missed the target.

Why do you think?Because of Ji Xuanhe's lack of arm strength, the arrow branches were thrown into the embrace of the earth like offline kites before they approached the fixed target.Shao Yunchen looked at it, with a smile on the corners of his eyes and brows.

It's hard to say anything else, Ji Xuanhe is very good at archery.Having experienced the end of the world for more than ten years, he has only touched bows and arrows for more than ten years, and if he fails to shoot again, he will really choke on his head.A few people watching from the side also saw a little way, a joke is a joke, but no one dared to underestimate it, they were still amazed at the outstanding talents of Ji Xuan and archery.

All the men of Ji's family went up to try their hand, even Old Master Zhen, who is quite old, was no exception.The final result is very blinding, except for the youngest Ji Xuanhe, the best archery is actually the oldest Master Zhen.It's true that people can't be judged by their appearance, and the sea water can't be measured. They look like an old master, who would think he still has such a trick?

Faced with the adoring eyes of everyone, Old Master Zhen accepted it without any hindrance, as if such a result was a matter of course.

"Okay, don't look at it, the old man was also good at riding and arching back then. Alas, now that I'm getting older, I can't even draw my bow anymore. It's really not what it used to be." Old Master Zhen shaved his beard, feeling very emotional some.

After getting along for a few years, everyone knows Old Master Zhen very well. The Ji family no longer respects him as much as before, and occasionally they can make harmless jokes with Old Master Zhen.When everyone heard Old Master Zhen praise him so much, they curled their lips in disgrace.

Old Master Zhen didn't care too much, he just assumed that they were envious and jealous, and continued to talk about the past.

Since then, Ji's family has added another activity, which is to go to the small garden to shoot arrows when they have nothing to do.Ji's family is the mobilization of all, from top to bottom, from childhood to adulthood, from male to female, no one is missed.

Shen Qing Qishan is the nursing home of the Ji family, archery is mandatory for two people to master, while the rest of the Ji family depends on self-consciousness.Since the master gave this order, the servants dared not disobey, and went to touch a few bows and arrows whenever they had time.Old Master Zhen did it voluntarily. At the beginning, Ji Xuan and Tong Shao Yunchen were worried about him, fearing that his old waist would flash off. Who would have thought that Old Master Zhen is always strong, not only better than others in archery, but also extraordinary in physical strength. good.

Others didn't care, but Shen Qing and Qi Shan felt the pressure from Old Master Zhen.The two of them didn't need to work at all, but occasionally they were short of manpower to take the lead. Now that they had Mr. Zhen as a comparison, they were more attentive, and spent a lot of time on archery every day.

Considering that women have smaller arms and are shorter than men, Ji Xuanhe specially made several women's bows.With bows and arrows that match hands, Mama Duan and the others take time out to practice archery every day, and the results are not bad.

Ji Xuanhe was busy making bows and arrows, and his riding skills did not fail.Winter will come soon, and riding a horse is a crime at that time. Taking advantage of the tolerable weather, Ji Xuan and Shao Yunchen spend an hour or so every day riding horses and archery, and their lives are extremely fulfilling.

Riding on the horse, Ji Xuanhe looked at the large expanse of green in the field and the figures of farmers busy in the field, his mood was very stable.Grain harvests have been poor for successive years, and the food accumulated in previous years is estimated to be almost consumed by the common people.But these are nothing compared to the last days he has experienced.

The end of the world is really precarious. Every time he goes hunting, Ji Xuanhe is ready to face death.Who would have thought that the end of the world did not torment him to death, but he managed to survive, fell down, hit his head on a sharp stone, and passed out immediately, not even giving him a chance to use the writing system to save himself.With this lesson, Ji Xuanhe usually pays attention to his surroundings when he walks. Such an embarrassing thing happened once and he will never forget it in his life, and he will never allow it to happen again.

Not long before Shuang's descent, Shao Yunchen saw that it was almost time to practice riding skills, so he dragged Ji Xuanhe into Zhuangzi.After watching it for several years, Ji Xuanhe got a general idea of ​​the crops planted in Ningzhuang, but he had no idea whether they were ripe or not.

In this regard, Shao Yunchen is more than a step ahead of Ji Xuanhe.The two are responsible for different directions, so they can't be compared like this.

Potatoes The sweet potato vines are verdant and obviously immature.Shao Yunchen did some calculations, and the harvest time was not far away, so he didn't know what the final harvest would be.Ji's family is not short of this money, he is just a little worried about the villagers.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes were regarded as food crops in the Jin Dynasty. Because of the wrong sowing time, many villagers in Yangjiabu did not dare to plant them. They were afraid that they would not even be able to get back the seed money after planting them. The most grown vegetables were seasonal vegetables.

There are too many people who think the same way, and the vegetables will naturally not be sold at a high price, which is more cost-effective than leaving the fields unused.Even though they knew the result was not good, the villagers still took good care of the crops.Vegetables are too cheap, you can dry them and keep them for yourself, and you can fill your stomach with some grain.

Now the crops grown in the fields do not need to be carefully cared for, and the villagers put a lot of effort into preparing charcoal.Can the sun in winter be used to dry vegetables? Can't they all be made into pickled products?In the end, it still needs to be dried on the kang. In this way, more firewood will be needed, and every household is busy preparing enough firewood.

Ningzhuang is not big, and Zhang Zhuangtou himself has to go to the fields to work.He saw Ji Xuan and his wife from a distance, and quickly put down what he was doing, and waited beside them.

Although Shao Yunchen is good at farming, Zhang Zhuangtou is more experienced in the specific situation.Seeing Zhang Zhuangtou facing them, Shao Yunchen asked: "Zhangzhuangtou, do you estimate how much you can harvest when harvesting?"

"Maximum [-]% to [-]%, [-]% to [-]% is also possible." Zhang Zhuangtou didn't say anything. It's really not up to him whether the crops grow well or not. The later the frost, the higher the harvest. How much you can harvest depends on it. God will not give face.Zhang Zhuangtou himself is very satisfied that he can still gain something like this this year.If the masters hadn't acted decisively and planted the seeds in time, there might not even be these harvests.

There is an ox cart in Zhuangzi, which is very convenient for transporting firewood and grain.Most of the firewood for Ji Zhai was provided by farmers in Ningzhuang, and if there was not enough firewood, they were purchased from tenants in Yangjiabu.The tenants originally wanted to provide them with free firewood. Shao Yunchen didn't want to take advantage of it, and paid according to the market price, which made the tenants earn more money. Everyone was happy.

Ji Xuan and his wife wandered around the field, saw that the sun had already set in the west, greeted Zhang Zhuangtou, got on their horses, and the two rode together, jogging along the road back to Ji's house.

Ji Xuanhe is basically not picky eaters, he likes seafood, meat and vegetables, especially squid and beef.After winter, the number of fishermen going to sea will be greatly reduced. The most recent period is the best time to buy seafood. After a while, the price of seafood will increase.Villagers in the village who do not go to the sea choose some cheap seafood according to their own circumstances, and with the income from children and the elderly, they can eat some seafood every now and then to satisfy their cravings during the winter.This is a benefit only available to fishing villages, and other villages do not have such a bargain.

Going out to sea to fish is very risky. In all fairness, fishermen have a better life than ordinary people, and they deserve it.As far as Yangjiabu is concerned, fishermen unfortunately die in the sea every few years.So even in a fishing village, nearly half of the village households only live on the fields.

The amount of seafood that Ji's family wants is relatively large, and most of them are used as gifts for the New Year.Since the beginning of buying seafood, the front yard of Ji Zhai often smells of fish.It has been like this every year for the past few years, and everyone in the Ji family is used to hearing it, and it is not as unbearable as the first time.

Ji Xuanhe doesn't have to suffer, he stays in the backyard when he has nothing to do.At this time, Old Master Zhen's teaching place is moved from the front yard to the back yard.The bedroom is not easy to move, smoke it with herbs before going to bed, and then close the windows, you can hardly smell the fishy smell. Old Master Zhen has always dealt with it in this way, and the drying of seafood has not had much impact on his life.

Those who need Ji Xuan and New Year's gifts are Ji's and Shao's. The second uncle is completely voluntary, and he does not have to give it.

"Yunchen, haven't you heard about your grandmother?" Ji Xuanhe leaned leisurely on the kang, expressing his doubts.

"Well, I don't know where my grandmother and the others have gone. At first I said I was going back to my hometown. After I settled here, I sent someone to deliver a letter to them, but I couldn't find anyone. Later, I asked someone to look for it, and I haven't received it until now. News. I don’t know how they have lived these past few years, and I don’t even know if they are still there.” Mentioning this, Shao Yunchen felt a little depressed.

His natal family fell into decline very quickly. When his grandmother sold the property and left Yunzhou Mansion with his uncle, they didn't have much money in total. I don't know where they are now.

"It's almost winter, and it's inconvenient to find someone now. Let's hire a few bodyguards in the spring of next year and ask them to inquire more in the counties and towns along the road, and maybe they will find it." Ji Xuanhe knew that Shao Yunchen entrusted someone to inquire every year , due to the small number of people sent, there has been no progress.Shao Yunchen's dowry money was all invested in Yunji Buzhuang, and there was not much money at hand. Ji Xuanhe knew that Shao Yunchen was embarrassed to spend his money on it, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Okay." Shao Yunchen didn't count on his father's family, the only thing he still missed was his grandmother and uncle.Hearing Ji Xuan and his grandmother care about them, his heart was warm.
