It is said that shark gauze does not get wet when exposed to water. Mingruo cut off a piece and immersed it in a basin. When he lifted it up again, the water droplets rolled down, and it was true that the shark gauze did not penetrate into the shark gauze. Then he put the shark gauze directly on the skin.
, it’s cool but doesn’t feel airtight, which is amazing!
Anyway, I had nothing to do, so Mingruo decided to make a raincoat for Si Haochen and herself using shark kerchief. The shark kerchief was so beautiful that it could be worn outside clothes on rainy days. It was practical and beautiful.
After Si Haochen finished handling the matter, he walked into the bedroom and saw the little princess sewing clothes with crocodile yarn. The setting sun fell through the screen window on Mingruo's side face, making her look more gentle and soft.
"What are you sewing for?" Si Haochen sat down next to Mingruo and found that what was spread out on the bed was his own big cloak, "Made for me?"
"Well, I'm sewing new clothes for you." Mingruo raised her head and stretched her somewhat stiff neck.
Si Haochen put his hand on Mingruo's shoulder and started massaging it gently: "Let's do it tomorrow. Don't be tired."
Mingruo only rested for a moment and continued to sew: "Just a few more stitches and I'll be done. It'll be fine soon."
Mingruo had never made clothes before, but luckily she had ready-made clothes to cut out, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make them. Lock the edges of the cuffs, and the raincoat for Si Haochen is ready.
Mingruo picked it up, shook it, and handed it to Si Haochen: "Try it on and see if it doesn't fit."
Si Haochen directly put this thin gauze dress on the outside of his robe. It drape well and fits well: "It fits very well."
Mingruo pulled up the hood behind him and put it on Si Haochen's head: "Well, just right."
"The coat also comes with a hat?" The little princess's ideas are always so novel.
"This way the rain will not get your hair wet." Mingruo found that the pearlescent gauze dress looked very beautiful when worn outside the clothes, making people look fairy-like. "I will make another one for you without wearing it."
It’s a hat, I wear it every day.”
"This is enough. It's too tiring to sew such a big piece of clothing." Although he liked the feeling that the little princess was busy with herself, he didn't want her to be burdened.
"I'll take care of it." Mingruo folded the freshly baked 'raincoat' and put it away, "How long until we arrive?"
"We can go ashore early tomorrow morning." Si Haochen took Mingruo back into his arms, "Are you tired of sitting on the boat?"
"That's not true. We've been walking for several days. I wonder how much longer it will take." Mingruo leaned into Si Haochen's arms, "Can we go see Xuan'er."
"Let's go to Changzhou first, and then go to Yunzhou." Si Haochen put his forehead against Mingruo's, "I'll take you to see the place where I was born."
"Okay." Mingruo nodded.
Si Haochen not only implemented the military reclamation policy in the northwest, but also extended this method to the four state capitals under the jurisdiction of the fiefdom. Each state capital established a super large manor, which could be used to station troops and grain.
Among them, the manor in Changzhou was the largest, covering five hills. Mingruo stood in the courtyard halfway up the mountain and was stunned when he looked at the vast fields in the distance.
"There is a piece of land over there dedicated to growing corn, and it is almost mature." Si Haochen had read the report before. If this batch of corn is harvested and planted, at least one-fifth of the Northwest Army's rations for next year will be provided.
Coupled with the other three farms and the military reclamation in full swing in the northwest, the food problem of the army has basically been solved.
"I'll go over and take a look later." The seeds used for sowing now are all from the space, and the germination rate and survival rate should be very high. I don't know if they will be reduced if they are sown again.
If Mingruo told Si Haochen his worries, Si Haochen was not too surprised. He had already considered this issue: "That space has its own magic. We can only rely on large-scale planting to make up for this."
Not enough. As long as you plant enough, the problem won’t be too big. Anyway, there are plenty of fields and plenty of manpower..."
"Okay..." This solution is quite arrogant. I respect you as a big landowner!
Even in early summer, Jiangnan is already very hot. In the evening, Ming Ruocai went to the corn fields to inspect. The corns are growing well and will be ready for harvest in about a month.
Mingruo thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to leave a few large tanks of well water. Adding water for irrigation during sowing can improve the germination rate to some extent: "You ask someone to prepare some jars, and I will leave some well water here.
Use it as 'fertilizer' when sowing seeds again."
"Okay." Si Haochen nodded. If you want to use quantity to make up for the lack of quality, the quantity must be large enough.
After nightfall, Si Haochen took Mingruo to a cool and ventilated cave. Not far from the entrance of the cave, there was a row of large jars. Mingruo filled one jar with well water, and Si Haochen closed the lid.
Then seal it tightly with wax. The two of them worked for most of the night and finally installed all the jars.
Normally I don't think much of it if I don't drink enough water, but today I took more water. Ming Ruo then discovered that no matter how simple something is, if you do it too much, you will become tired.
Mingruo is mentally exhausted now and feels dizzy.
Si Haochen noticed that Mingruo's expression was wrong and quickly supported her: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a nap." Mingruo leaned softly in Si Haochen's arms, "You can carry me back, I can't walk anymore."
"Okay." Si Haochen gently lifted Mingruo up on his back. He had been negligent just now and didn't notice that she was forcing herself.
Mingruo lay on Si Haochen's solid back, with the familiar scent of grass and trees in her nose, which made her very relaxed, and she soon fell asleep.
Hearing the sound of breathing in his ears becoming evener and longer, Si Haochen stepped lightly. After returning to the bedroom, he carefully placed Mingruo on the bed, took off his shoes first, and then removed his outer clothes.
He brought a basin of warm water and scrubbed her face and hands before covering the little girl with a quilt.
This girl was tired today. There was no response even after washing her face, and she was still sleeping deeply. Si Haochen washed himself casually, then hugged the little princess and fell into a deep sleep.
Mingruo slept until he woke up naturally the next day and found that it was already afternoon. Since he missed breakfast and lunch perfectly, his stomach growled with hunger. He got up from the quilt and stretched.
"Are you awake?" Si Haochen put down the report in his hand, came to Babu's bed, and closed the bed curtain with silver hooks.
"Yeah." Mingruo rubbed his eyes, "I'm hungry."
"The porridge is warming on the stove. You can use some porridge and snacks to cushion your stomach first." Si Haochen brought the clothes prepared for Mingruo to her, then left the bedroom and asked someone to put breakfast on the table.
Mingruo changed her clothes, briefly freshened up, and then went outside to eat.
The snacks on the table were very delicately made. Mingruo picked up a piece of Ruyi Crispy and took a bite - it was not only sweet and delicious, but also very crispy.
