A misty rain painting the hometown

Gu Ji was asking about fishing. After looking at fifty middle-aged uncles, he found that there were no elderly men over 60 years old in the village, and only women in the village were Ye Kang's family. They looked 60 years old and 55 years old There are no more than five people.

"Everyone over the age of 58 died in the sea."

Li Yi added a sentence to clear up the confusion.Gu Ji opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word, so he asked each of them to carry a bucket and a wooden basin to manage the kitchen water for a while, and then asked ten children to carry seven pots and eight steaming buckets. The middle-aged village women also moved the table and matching bowls and chopsticks to the open space at the head of the village, and moved the ingredients from the carriage to the stove. Thirty women took care of the tables and stools, washed the bowls and chopsticks, and cut the ingredients according to Guji's demonstration.Guji waited for the stove to be built.

When we arrived at Maoye Village, it was already the end of the hour, and the stove was built and Shen Shizhong was built.Guji ordered seven women chefs to learn how to mix and fry vegetables.

The three generations in Maoye Village ate the most satisfying meal ever.Every household scrambled to let the eight people rest at home.Because of the hot weather and the sleeping shed had been set up, all ten people rested in the woods. On the carriage, the three brothers Wugan, Wuge and Wumeng took turns to watch the night.

After tidying up the pots and stoves, Gu Ji ordered seven other women to learn how to make mao rice, knead noodles, and mix stuffing, and let them come over early in the morning to continue learning how to cook.

It was the end of Haishi when all these things were done well. After the people went home, Gu Ji turned on the lights and fought at night to make the construction plan of the ancient courtyard.After the general outline was drawn, Gu Ji was so sleepy that he fell asleep in the carriage.Early in the morning Ugg shook people awake.Only then did Gu Ji turn over and get out of the car, washed his hands and taught others how to make cut buns, steamed buns, boil eggs, and cook porridge.Fortunately, the seven of them have mind openings, so they can understand at any point.Gu Ji washed his face, rinsed his mouth, and made a detailed plan. Wu Gan arranged for the villagers to move out the tables and stools and clean the dishes.

After dinner, I took 3000 taels of silver bills and brought Wuge, Gao Yu, Wumeng, Wuda, Wu County Magistrate, and Li Zhishu back to Haikou County in Qingqiu. They each invited fifty wood and masons to order three thousand logs. , and bought two new carriages to be driven by Wugan, Wumeng brought back the war slaves and dried fish, and handed out a series of purchase lists to five people.

In Maoye Village, a detailed plan was made for two hours. Gu Ji ordered seven girls to learn how to refine oil and make seasonings. They ate noodles for lunch, and the mao rice remained unchanged.

The young and strong men weeded and dug the wire trough of the ancient courtyard. The middle-aged and children picked the three-eyed balls, opened the shell and settled it with bucket juice, and asked the middle-aged village woman to dig out the inner flesh of the shell with a bamboo spoon. Dress up.

At the end of the next day, five carriages were used for food, and twelve additional carts were rented. There were more than 100 carpenters, fifty masons, and timber bosses in total, and brought back more than 1000 war slaves and all the remaining dried fish. .Timber owner He Ding personally escorted the first batch of [-] logs.

Maoye Village suddenly became lively, with more than 1000 people performing their duties.This time, all the craftsmen were arranged to rest in the villagers' homes, and the rest of the people, except the master, slept in the carriage and slept in the bunk.

There is a main garden, Liuliyuan, in the Daguyuan, which is all made of moso bamboo.The other four courtyards were built like the Changgu courtyard, followed by twelve rows of large workshops, four large warehouse courtyards, four large nursing courtyards, four large Changgong courtyards, and twelve rows of tile sheds for raising cattle, horses and chickens.In Qingqiu, Wuge was in charge of purchasing seventeen carriages by turns.Gao Yu, Wumeng, Wuda, Ye Kang, Ke Yu, Da'an, and Yazhi take care of and dispatch all the fields. The courtyard has a radius of three miles. They patrol the field all day long and take care of lunch and dinner. Gu Ji often lies on the carriage. Straight out of breath.

It was completed in two months, and the wide road leads directly to Zhancao official road.For all labor costs, more than 300 people made-to-order short jackets and trousers, and purchased various food materials. The rental cost nearly 500 taels of silver.

During this period, Ding Zaiyou, Da'an, Yazhi, and Huang Youlin were able to recognize the numbers and keep accounts.Lizheng Yekang naturally knew it too.Three hundred villagers grabbed Dong Yizuo's engineering institute.

The workshop is drying fish, peeling coconut shells, making coconut powder, and the rest are fishing, picking coconuts, and cooking Mao, Lunch, and You meals in the kitchen. The dining hall can accommodate 800 people at the same time. .

The steward of the Grand Ancient Courtyard is tentatively designated as Ke Yu, who was exiled four years ago.Wumeng and Wugan can already speak some daily spoken English.Ye Kang, Ke Yu, Da An, Ya Zhi, Ding Zaiyou, Huang Youlin, Meng Yi, Ge Muqing, Bayi followed Wuge, Qingqiu, Gao Yu, and Gu Ji to learn to drive a carriage, buy goods, and make accounts.

At the beginning of October, the nine people had already made the Daguyuan run normally.Nine people were summoned to talk about teaching literacy and numeracy, driving, and doing accounts and leading apprentices.Issued the "Double Translation" notice of the business law, bought ten additional carriages and seven carts, left 5000 taels of silver in the account of the Daguyuan, moved ten bags of coconut flour, loaded two carts of dried fish, Che coconut, Guji brought Qingqiu, Gao Yu, Wugan, Wumeng, Wuge and seven hundred war slaves back to Changguyuan.On the way, seventy war slaves were dispatched to cut down ten bamboos with a diameter of [-] cm and a length of eight meters in the moso bamboo forest near the official road, and dug a carriage of winter bamboo shoots to go back to Changgu courtyard.

At the beginning of November, a group of people arrived at Changguyuan.The next day, Gu Ji went to Sun's Blacksmithing Workshop to order five guns. Gongsun Hao suddenly opened up, and he didn't take any money for the five guns.

Plug one end of the blunderbuss with a wooden wedge, lift it up and roast it red in the fire, and then Gu Ji asked him to take it out, rush into the small moso bamboo that had been dried in the shade, and make ten in a row, which are medium-through and of different thicknesses, [-] meters long. bamboo.

At the same time, the slaves were ordered to cut open the coconut, and the slaves were also asked to fill the juice in a bucket, and then they dug out the inner flesh and put it in a wooden basin. Then they took a knife to the oak forest and cut the skin according to the demonstration, leaving a protruding hole under the mouth. Let tie the coir to collect the glue.Cangzhi and Bo Xing took care of this matter, and allowed the former hundred war slaves to learn various skills from each other, including cattle farming.

Fifteen buckets of glue juice were collected and poured into a five-meter-long shallow square trough, in which ten bamboos that had been cut through were placed.In the morning of the next day, the moso bamboo was fished out to dry in the sun. After half a day, the cement that had not completely solidified in the center was pushed and dug into the rubber groove with a small blunderbuss.Then carry the moso bamboo into the yard and roll it on the flat stone ground.

On December 15th, I bought 12 carts and 110 new carriages, kept ten new young war slave cooks, 5000 new war slaves, and 530 nine new beggars and official slaves to teach farming and raise New war slaves for cattle, pigs, ducks and watering trees, bamboo and vegetables, [-] taels of silver and four voluntary stay Wei Yu, Lu Renyi, Bo Mingli, Gu Yu, Dou Yishan, three former war slaves recommended by Cang Zhi and Bo Xing The stewards of Egoli, Damu, Kuqier, Wushu, the leader of the new war slave mentioned in Ugan, and Wallach have a total of [-] nine people.

Its original 22 people from Changguyuan, 98 war slaves, six carpenters, 290 two new war slaves, Qingqiu, Li Ji, Wang Siyue, [-] cows, [-] rubber bamboo tubes, coconut powder, and [-] large moso bamboos Two hundred carts, ten new carriages, and ten new carts rented by the eight counties were all brought back to the ancient courtyard.

At the beginning of March, the ancient courtyard ushered in [-] cattle.The grass cowshed is nearly full.

Guyuan Guanxian, Wang Luo, Yuan Zhoubai, Mei Fang, Wu Mang, Yuan Fei, Cha Kui, seven people assist Qingqiu, Li Hong, Zhao Shu, Xu Tiao and other seven people to manage 540 six people together, Guan Xian He settled in the wing room of Zhuyuan and studied with Zhao Shu and five others.

"Qingqiu and the other six stewards moved into Furong Garden, and Qingqiu moved into the main wing."

When Guji arranged, Qingqiu stared at him blankly.Guji scratched his head.

"For the time being, you will still live with the young master in the future."

Guan Xian laughed out loud, he knew that Qingqiu was about to commit crimes, and he heard from the beggar in the Changguyuan that this Qingqiu was hit hard by the death of his little master, and he was crazy. When he met Guji on the road, he seemed to be Back to normal again, Gu Ji took pity on him, Fang took him in, and he also pestered Gu Ji all day long, talking about the young master.But as long as Gu Ji said to live separately, he would be dazed again.

"Qingqiu is already the big housekeeper, so you can't keep relying on the young master."

After Yuan Zhoubai said something, Qingqiu looked pitifully abandoned.

"Ai, ai, even if your young master looks like me, he is not as capable as I am. Why are you always confused? You seem to have a clever mind, or, instead of being a housekeeper, move to the main room of Zhuyuan?"

"Qingqiu is the young master's housekeeper."

"You can't have your cake and eat it too."

"Then can I see the young master tomorrow?"

"Of course I can, the young master promises."

"Then I'll go to Furong Garden."

"You don't have to wake up at night, you can go to the kitchen here to cook as soon as you wake up."

"Ah."

Qingqiu went happily.Bamboo Garden was quiet.

"I heard from Zhou Jin, a fellow beggar, that Qingqiu's young master is the county magistrate of Caoying County, Gu Jin's young son, Gu Ji. Serving him, after people left, he also went crazy, in order to find the young master, he ran out of the mansion, many beggars helped him along the way, otherwise he would not meet the owner."

Mei Fang sighed.

"The name Guji doesn't seem very good. Grandpa Guli didn't name me himself. Instead, he used the name that grandma wanted to give the child earlier. It's fine if you say the same name and surname. I see Qingqiu's eyes. Son, as if I am really his young master, I can't also look like a dead person."

"Bah! Bah! Bah! You're talking nonsense. But he has been bedridden for a long time, the imperial doctor is helpless, and he is a servant of the madman. How can he compare with our Guji?"

Xu Tiao was so interested in Gu Ji that he almost changed his surname.

"It's okay, it would be a pity not to be a housekeeper for such a loyal person. From tomorrow onwards, everyone in Zhuangzi is only allowed to call me Guji. If he mentions the young master before you wait, you have to correct him too. I don't believe I can't cure him."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they agreed.

Qingqiu took Yuan Zhoubai, and Mei Fang made 15 people Mao Fang.Sure enough, during the meal, Qingqiu would be beaten by Guji.Guji said something.

"Call me Guji, only Qingqiu can sit on Guji's left hand."

Qingqiu has been in a stalemate for a month, still one young master at a time, although the number of times has decreased, everyone feels that Guji's method is no longer reliable.

Gu Ji let nature take its course and made things difficult everywhere, only in the middle of May, when Qingqiu said that he would stay with the young master for one night, Gu Ji agreed.That night, Qingqiu hugged the young master and cried all night.In the early morning of the next day, the word Guji finally came out of his mouth. The happiest person was Li Hong. Qingqiu was always attached to Guji, and he almost wanted to poke someone with a knife.
