The sky was slightly brighter, but the morning was still chilly. I ran along the gravel road from the west end of the village to the east end of the village, then turned back to the north, and stopped at the foot of Dongshan Mountain.
He kicked the apricot tree childishly and watched the white and red apricot flowers falling. Li Shan couldn't help but smile, just because of the sentence "My clothes are wet with the rain of apricot flowers, and the willow wind does not blow on my face." This
Many literati visited Dongshan Temple in the past few days.
I have become accustomed to going out for a run every morning. On the one hand, I keep fit, and on the other hand... Li Shan always has a nostalgia for the countryside in the early morning. This is the influence of his childhood in his previous life.
Since reaching an agreement with Du Chuke, Li Shan has lived a happy life, eating, sleeping and messing around every day. Anyway, there are dedicated people responsible for all things in the village, and they usually don't report to him.
The Dongshan Restaurant is peaceful and stable. Zhao Da has been assigned to manage the brick factory. Every household has started to build houses according to the smooth preparations. Spring plowing should be done and work should be done. Qi Laoliu is now well-behaved and goes up the mountain every day.
Chopping wood and making various furniture.
"Lang Jun, are you going back?"
Li Shan responded casually. Although he was in Zhujiagou, Su Dingfang strictly ordered that whenever Li Shan left home, there must be two personal guards by his side.
In fact, there is really no need to be so vigilant. Even if Li Dewu is crazy, it is unlikely that he will send someone to use a knife or a gun... But Ling Jing and Ma Zhou don't think so. They all think that Yu Wenshi and Na Li Dewu's face are...
The skin was torn off.
After making two turns along the gravel road and returning home with the sound of gurgling water, Li Shan glanced at the house under construction not far away and said with a smile: "You are really fast!"
Zhou Erlang who came out laughed and said, "The red bricks are easy to use. Just apply a layer on the inside and outside and let them dry."
Li Shan smacked his lips, he couldn't accept it... Although he had grown up in hardship, there was no need to treat himself badly if he could live a better life.
When he was planning to build a house, Li Shan wasn't sure what kind of adhesive to use at this time, and he was wondering if he could make some cement.
Li Shan didn't understand this aspect and could only add water to mix it... In his previous life, rural areas also bought finished cement directly.
However, Li Shan knew that grinding limestone into powder and burning it at high temperature would be enough. A little recipe might be needed...the key to this is temperature.
Because of his experience in burning bricks with coal, the temperature problem is not a big problem. If it is not possible, he can still use a bellows or other combustion aids. But the key is that Li Shan does not know where there are limestone mines... and it is not in the Yunnan-Guizhou area. It can be found everywhere.
In the end, it was Ling Jing who came up with the idea. The high-grade adhesives in this era were made of glutinous rice mixed with mortar. The inferior ones were made of glutinous rice, yellow mud mixed with straw, and tamped with heavy objects.
The difficulty is not high, except that the glutinous rice costs money, and the cost is not high. No one builds a two-story building anyway, but the smell is a bit unpleasant.
Li Shan couldn't accept it, and thought about going back to find limestone mines... It's unthinkable to make money by burning this thing in large quantities, but it should be possible for personal use.
After breakfast, Ling Jing from the opposite door went to Chang'an, and Ma Zhou was still lying down... Li Shan was surprised to see his mother Zhu, with Mo Xiang, and Xiao Man preparing to go out.
"Yesterday, Demou's mother sent me a message."
"Huh?" Li Shan was confused, "Why don't you know?"
"I'm going to the banquet today and I didn't invite you." Zhu said this and got into the carriage.
Li Shan was even more confused. It made no sense that the Li family held a banquet and invited my mother but not me.
After thinking about it, Li Shan was too lazy to worry about it. If he went to Li's house, Li Kai wouldn't care. His eldest brother would definitely ask him about "My clothes are wet with apricot blossom rain, and my face is not cold with the willow wind."
Poetry... Li Shan really can't remember this.
Wandering around in the yard, Li Shan felt a little uncomfortable... No matter in the past life or this life, he was busy every day, with endless things to do and endless worries. When he was free, his bones felt itchy.
.
But now, in addition to the people who join the family, the Li family has eleven servants in three rooms, who can do everything from washing clothes to sweeping the floor.
After thinking about it, Li Shan went to a small room in the backyard and pushed the door open. It was already the end of February and the climate had become warmer. However, there were five charcoal basins in the small room, and the temperature was much higher than outside.
cut.
This kind of greenhouse is actually very common in this era, because spring plowing in the north requires breeding. To put it simply, the seeds of many crops need suitable temperatures to cultivate.
But Li Shan set up this greenhouse for another purpose.
Carefully observing the mold on the oranges, Li Shan found a mask and put it on, and silently began to operate. He had been thinking about it for a long time and had operated it many times. There was no need to consider purification. The key was whether it could be cured or not.
To live is to die.
When penicillin grows and expands, there is a high probability that patulin will appear... This stuff is highly toxic.
Under the current conditions, Li Shan had no way to separate. He could only use stupid methods to experiment again and again, relying entirely on luck.
After working for a long time, Li Shan walked out of the house and quickly grabbed a little rabbit from the cage next door.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Shan expressionlessly picked up a hoe, dug a hole in the backyard, and threw the poor little rabbit into it.
After failing again, Li Shan was not in a good mood... But at this moment, Zhu was in a good mood.
"Huairen is already eighteen years old. It's time to get a wife." Mrs. Changsun and Mrs. Zhu were walking in the yard. The servants and maids stayed far away. "I heard that Sanlang mentioned that Huairen already has a concubine?"
"Brought back from Shandong." Zhu whispered: "There will be no eldest son."
Mrs. Changsun nodded, "The eldest son of a concubine is the source of family chaos."
"Now that Huairen's reputation has skyrocketed and he is a young hero, as early as last year, many people were testing him."
"After the Cui family incident in Qinghe..." Changsun family explained: "But as soon as "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" came out, many aristocratic families were interested in getting married."
Zhu was overjoyed. This matter had been bothering her for a long time. Li Shan's life experience was rarely known. Originally, it was almost impossible to marry into a wealthy family. However, with Li Shan's current reputation and the Longxi Li family as guarantee, it was impossible.
There is hope.
After thinking about it, Zhu still hesitated and asked: "But Dalang's life experience..."
"This matter is not urgent." Changsun said softly: "Let's take a look today."
After a pause, Changsun smiled and said: "The peach blossoms in the garden bloomed early this year, so we held a banquet to entertain many guests, most of whom are women from aristocratic families. I will elaborate on them one by one later."
"Thank you, Sister Changsun."
"You and I don't have to be so polite." Mrs. Changsun pursed her lips and smiled.
Li Shan's relationship network in Chang'an can be said to be very complicated, but it can also be said to be very simple. The best people with whom he has the best relationship are Wang Renbiao and Li Kai, whom he has been friends with since he was young.
The Danyang House of the Li family in Longxi.
Therefore, most of the people who are interested in marrying Li Shan are testing Li Keshi and his wife. Today's banquet is not just for Li Shan...it is mainly for Sanlang Li Kai and Silang Li Qi.
While the two were talking, a maid came to greet the guests.
Changsun smiled and walked up to meet him. Opposite him was a middle-aged woman, followed by a teenage girl.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mrs. Changsun introduced Mrs. Zhu to the visitors.
Although Mrs. Zhu talks little, she is polite and courteous. Mrs. Changsun is not surprised by this. She has known for a long time that Mrs. Zhu’s ancestors must not be ordinary people. She just lives in Lingnan all the year round, so she must be
