??Chapter 23 Clean and tidy
?? At noon, to celebrate Yang Lan'er and the others returning to the valley safely, and successfully buying a property. Mother Yang brought a few daughters-in-law to kill chickens and rabbits, and cooked a sumptuous lunch.
??After the meal, the elder sister-in-law Zhou led several sister-in-laws, and happily took the vegetable seeds bought from the county to the field. Yang Lan'er discussed with Father Yang and the others about the specifics of building the house. They all support building a house, but how to build it is up to Yang Laner to decide.
??After the discussion, Yang Lan'er asked Yang's father to lead the second and third brothers to make ten wooden frames, and gave them the approximate size. Then he led his fourth brother and Wang Qing and his son to the valley with a **** and a sickle.
??Yang Laner found a low-lying land in the valley, and asked his fourth brother to plan a **** with a hoe, squatted down and squeezed the soil, and found that it was red clay suitable for brick adobe. So let them clean up the grass, stones and other sundries in this field.
??There is a puddle just next to it, and it is just right to make bricks here. In the future, the hole dug by breaking bricks can just be used as a fish pond, killing two birds with one stone. That's right! Yang Lan'er just wanted to burn bricks and build a house by herself.
??At night, Yang Lan'er was lying on the bed, covered with a new quilt, full of satisfaction. The corners of the mouth slightly raised while holding the children, it was a good night's dream.
??After breakfast on the second day, Yang Lan'er led the people to the low-lying land with tools. The fourth brother and the others had already cleared a large open space yesterday.
Yang Laner asked everyone to dig a pile of mud first, and instructed them to mix the mud, sprinkle plant ash on the wooden frame, fill the wooden frame with the reconciled mud, and then use a bamboo knife to smooth the excess mud protruding from the wooden frame, and then use a piece of suitable size plank, and move the adobe to the side on a flat ground to dry.
?? Until everyone learned it, after lunch, Yang Lan'er taught the children a few big characters, and told them to practice by themselves. She carried the bamboo basket on her back to the sky.
??This time Yang Laner didn't go in the direction of the bamboo forest, but changed the opposite direction and entered the dense forest. There were a lot of medicinal materials, and Yang Laner chose to pick some and throw them into the space. Mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms were found and all were picked.
??Unknowingly, I walked deeper and deeper, looking up at the towering old trees around, with luxuriant branches and leaves. Touch the old tree next to it, the brown bark is rough, and the grooves are well-organized. In the 21st century, such ancient trees are hard to find, but here they block out the sun. Looking at the pinnate compound leaves with yellow flowers on the branches, it seems a little familiar.
??Yang Laner pondered: "Yellow flowers, compound leaves... yellow flowers... By the way, huanghuali." She patted her forehead hard, stupid. Smell the quick folded root branches, it is the smell of Dalbergia, the fragrance is strong and quiet and elegant. Dalbergia Dalbergia, also known as huanghuali. It is a precious wood, and it is also a traditional Chinese medicine. It has the effects of removing blood stasis, stopping bleeding, regulating qi and relieving pain. In the past, all she came into contact with was wood, and such a big tree was still the only one she had ever seen in her life.
??Yang Lan'er looked around and was stunned in shock. Most of the trees in this area were rosewood, and most of them were more than a hundred years old. sent! Haha...! He looked up to the sky and laughed three times. She also made a fuss. In the future, the huanghuali wood used in the furniture will make Sun Shao and the others envious and jealous! In the past, Sun Shao and the others always thought she was picky when they were on missions.
??Yang Laner decisively found a saw from the space, and chose a century-old tree with a straight trunk. He rolled up his sleeves and started working, pouted his buttocks and pulled the saw with a "huh huh huh".
??After using the Sui Sui Pill, she found that the old illnesses left behind by her childbirth before had been eliminated, and now she is in good health and has boundless strength.
??Yang Lan'er is full of energy now as long as she thinks of the fragrant rosewood furniture in the whole house. Saw down two ancient trees and packed them into the space.
??The sun is approaching, wipe off the sweat. Just as Yang Lan'er wanted to take a rest, she heard a noise in the forest. She passed quietly and found it was two wild boars. Take out two daggers from the space, I bought them in the county seat, I forgot to give them to my second brother, now I sacrifice the knives first. With two agile "swish", the dagger was thrown over, followed by the screams of wild boars and the sound of falling to the ground with a bang, clean and neat.
