Later, Xu Hong tried boiling yellow peaches in sugar water. Unexpectedly, the cooked peaches were sweet and fragrant, and the smell made people drool.

Moreover, these peaches do not rot and are still crispy when cooked. Because of the addition of sugar, the taste is much sweeter and the aroma of the peach becomes more intense. Children and adults all like to eat it.

Especially pregnant women like Xu Hong.

Yes, Xu Hong's intuition before was very accurate. She was indeed pregnant. Her belly was very obvious now. She was more than five months old and would give birth around the Chinese New Year.

So these few times when the family had dinner together, she was always there to direct others to cook.

With Xu Hong watching next to her, the taste is not much different. She can control the heat and other aspects. Adding seasonings and other things does not require much effort. Xu Hong can complete all these.

The same goes for the boiled yellow peaches in sugar water. She was there to direct Fang You to make it.

This thing is not like other tests of craftsmanship, as long as you know how much sugar to put and how much water to put.

The women in the village learned it quickly and made it for their children at home whenever they had nothing to do.

One advantage of the south is that sugar is cheaper because sugar cane is grown here.

There are many kinds of sugar cane in Nanping County next door. Sugar cane produces sugar, so the price of sugar is much cheaper than in the north.

The tribe has also agreed that when the Dragon Temple is built and there is free time, everyone can open up more wasteland, grow some sugar cane in their own village, and boil their own sugar. By then, they will even save money to buy sugar.

...I am the dividing line...

Time is passing slowly, winter has already started for two months, and the Chinese New Year is still more than a month away.

The Dragon Temple has almost been built. Several temples have been built, but what is missing is the wing room at the back.

As long as it can be completed before this rainy season, there is no rush.

Mainly these halls, especially the main hall, take the most time.

Many places inside need to be carefully carved. This requires a master with specialized craftsmanship, and there are not many masters who specialize in this, so we can only take our time.

The same goes for the masters who specialize in carving statues of gods. The finished statues they have carved based on Yang Chengsi are actually much simpler because they have reference objects. They can just follow the gourd and draw the gourd, just enlarge it.

Because it is not a Buddhist temple, there is not so much emphasis on it, which saves a lot of trouble.

If it is a Buddhist temple, you must first build pagodas, grottoes, various Buddha statues, etc., as well as monks' residences and dining halls.

The Dragon Temple does not need these, because it is dedicated to the Dragon God, and everything is centered on the Dragon God.

However, the structure of the overall building is not much different from that of the main hall. It faces north and south, with the main halls distributed on the central axis. The front hall, main hall and side halls have clear levels and a rigorous layout.

Because the Dragon Temple does not plan to recruit monks or Taoists, the monks' dormitories are also omitted.

Let’s talk about the Zhaitang later. If there are too many people coming to worship God, it’s not impossible.

The temple numbers of the Dayan Dynasty are generally the numbers seven and nine, and the Dragon Temple is no exception. The main hall is nine meters long and the front hall is seven meters long.

The outer door of the temple also has three doors, one large door in the middle and two small doors on both sides.

We usually go in and out through a small door, and only open the door on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see the front hall, also called the Shanmen Hall, where the statues of Xiaoling and Liuliu are enshrined.

Yang Chengsi designed them to be very powerful, a bit different from the original ones.

Xiao Ling's shape is an image of stepping on a boulder. This is Xiao Ling's own pose. He also specially performed a mouth and a pit.

Then Yang Chengsi designed an image for it with its head held high and its chest stepped on the bumpy boulders.

To be honest, Jiayin didn't look at all powerful at all. He felt like a thirsty crow looking for water everywhere...

But since Xiaoling likes it, then just use it.

As long as Xiaoling is happy.

The image of Liuliu is a hoof raised high, with a ferocious-looking giant wolf riding underneath.

It was also designed by Yang Chengsi. When Yang Chengsi drew it, he deliberately painted the wolf to be more ferocious, so that people would immediately feel that this is not a good thing.

The statues of Liuliu and Xiaoling are more righteous.

After all, he is the messenger of the Dragon God, so he can't have two ferocious-looking statues there to worship him.

Two eagles are enough. Just expand their characteristics and make some appropriate adjustments.

In the final image, Jiayin looks like a golden-winged roc.

It was somewhat similar originally, but now after Yang Chengsi's adjustments, it looks more like it.

In particular, the beak is longer, the hook is sharper, and the eyes are also pointed upward. If the color changes to black with golden wings, it will be exactly the same.

The colors of the two eagles are slightly darker than their own colors, making them look like two eagles at first glance.

Now that the Eagle Boss has become the Eagle King, his demeanor is much more powerful and domineering.

At present, this temple is almost complete except for the details of the back room, lotus pond and bamboo forest.

Villagers would go there in the morning to light a stick of incense and then go about their business. So even though it is not open to the public yet, the incense is already there.

Because the road in front of the temple is the only way from the county town to some towns and villages in the west, when pedestrians pass by, curious people will occasionally go in to take a look.

There are always people inside the temple, and the temple door is not closed during the day. When someone enters, the people stationed there will tell them the allusions and miraculous effects of the Dragon God.

The people of Dayan Dynasty originally believed in gods and Buddhas, and most people who entered would pay homage.

The village bought many bundles of incense and placed them in the Dragon Temple. Anyone who enters can take incense and worship the Dragon God for free.

For those who are willing to donate money for incense, there is also a merit box next to it for future repairs and maintenance of the temple.

Those who sincerely offer incense and worship God will donate some money, even one or two copper coins, and they will never be left empty.

At the beginning, Jiayin often put his spiritual consciousness in the Dragon Temple to see what those people wanted, so that he could accumulate some merit and gold.

Later I found out that those people didn’t tell anyone, so there was no way to know the good news.

So I asked Xiao Ling to talk to the clan leader, and then a sign was put up outside the main hall. For those who were illiterate, someone would help explain it.

The Dragon God's oracle will be effective only if you speak it out. If you are embarrassed, you can also write it down.

Of course, almost no one would write this out. If it were to be seen, it would be better to say it.

Just forget it after saying it, and not many people heard it. Write it down and leave it there, isn't it so that more people can see it?

At first everyone was a little confused, but then someone who really had a problem at home complained about it to the Dragon God. Unexpectedly, it was actually solved!

Especially those who are sick, if they ask the Dragon God, they will be cured the next day!

Of course, they are all suffering from headaches, brain fever, missing arms and legs, etc. There is definitely nothing that can be done.

Everyone knows that it can't be too whimsical.
Chapter completed!
