Chapter 130: Reading agricultural books and drawing a curved plow

"Listen to my wife and go there at noon today."

After Shen Yuan spoke, the three brothers nodded.

"Okay, Brother Yuan, but please don't pay us the wages, otherwise Dad will break our legs. We will work harder in the next two days and will not delay your wedding with sister-in-law."

Shen Su was the first to respond.

Shen Yuan nodded. As for the wages, they still had to be paid.

Brothers settle accounts clearly.

If we work harder, we can prepare the land today and plant the sweet potato seedlings tomorrow, just in time for the ceremony.

He secretly glanced at Su Wanwan and saw that her expression remained the same, as if she was no longer opposed to having a wedding, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Thank you for your hard work, wife."

Shen Yuan said something and took a few people to work.

Su Wanwan was used to hearing him calling her wife, and now she was not disgusted at all and could not help but shook her head.

God, habits are terrible.

She seemed to be getting more and more used to her role as Shen Yuan's wife.

Su Wanwan took Shen Zhao and the others home. Xiao Yunyi and Xiao Yue'er rushed to light the fire, and Su Wanwan did not stop them. They both squatted by the stove.

There was only one big stove, so it was impossible to steam noodles and cook at the same time. Su Wanwan had no choice but to take out the noodles and steam them first.

The dishes have been prepared and there is no need to prepare anything else. Thinking of the small earthen stove that was used in her hometown, Su Wanwan asked Shen Zhao to get a piece of rough paper. There was a pen in the space, so she drew a simple picture and planned to wait for Shen Yuan to come back and show him if he could make it.

This small earthen stove can be moved and used in the yard. The most important thing is that it is of a suitable size to accommodate modern pots, so the woks, steamers and other items in her kitchen can be put to good use.

Shen Zhao looked at the drawings drawn by his sister-in-law. He was not only interested in the small earthen stove, but also in the black fountain pen.

"Sister-in-law, is this the pen you use there? No wonder you can write such small words."

In the past, the handwriting of the letters written by his sister-in-law was so small that he and his elder brother even wondered how such handwriting was written.

If you want to write that small with a brush, it is not impossible but it is very difficult. I don't know how many years of practice it will take to be able to write small and neatly.

It turns out that the pen is different.

Moreover, this pen does not need to be dipped in ink, so it is convenient to carry.

"Well, you can try it if you want, but just use it at home. You should still practice calligraphy more."

Su Wanwan handed him the black pen in her hand.

"I know, sister-in-law."

Taking the pen, Shen Zhao was a little excited and ran into the house to study.

Su Wanwan saw that the noodles had been steamed soft and half cooked, so she went over and picked out the noodles, a whole bowl of them.

Then start cooking.

Put oil in the pot, stir-fry onion, ginger, garlic and peppercorns together until fragrant, then add the pork belly and stir-fry until the oil comes out.

Then add some soy sauce for coloring.

Speaking of soy sauce, I have to say that the soybean soy sauce of this era is really good, with no additives and bright color.

Tongxu County has a large production of soybeans. Although the economic uses of soybeans have not been fully developed, they are still ahead of the entire Xia Dynasty.

Soy sauce is a derivative product of soybeans. There are many large and small soy sauce workshops in Tongxu County.

However, the soy sauce at that time was all in loose quantities, and you had to buy it yourself by taking the can.

Although there were a lot of soy sauces in the space, Su Wanwan chose the soy sauce of this era. After all, the modern ones have too many additives.

Adding soy sauce into the pot not only turns the meat black and red, but also brings out its aroma.

Put the beans into the pot and stir-fry with the meat until cooked, sprinkle a handful of salt, add sugar to enhance the flavor, and finally add two bowls of water and bring to a boil.

Next is the mixed noodles. The vegetables don’t need to be fried too much, after all, they will still be steamed.

The noodles and soup are completely blended, and the noodles absorb the soup and turn golden yellow, with a fragrant aroma.

Just put it in the steamer and steam it for ten minutes and it’s ready to serve?

The noodles that have been steamed twice are softer and can fully absorb the flavor of the soup.

Turn off the heat and simmer for a while. Su Wanwan used this time to prepare the cold dishes.

The men came back at dinner time.

"What kind of food did sister-in-law cook? It smells so good. We are in for a treat."

Shen Su's voice arrived before he did.

"We're having noodles for lunch today."

Su Wanwan had already brought out the bowl of noodles.

Shen Zhao and the two little ones carried the table to the shade of a tree in the yard.

Now that the walls are high, you don’t have to worry about others seeing what you are eating when you close the door.

Although they are not afraid of what others say because the food is better, they still shouldn't be so ostentatious in this year.

"Uncle, the noodles my mother made are so delicious."

Xiao Yue'er and Xiao Yunyi were hungry just now, so Su Wanwan served them some food first. When they saw their father and uncles coming back, they immediately stepped forward to praise them.

"You two little ones are so happy now, knowing that your mother cooks delicious food."

Shen Su looked at the spirits of the two little ones and really felt that they were different.

Brother Yuan married a really good wife, I’m so envious (?︶?︶).

Several brothers came over after washing their hands but did not take their seats.

The table was small, there were too many people, and there were not enough stools, so a few brothers simply put some dishes into their bowls, found a shade under a tree, squatted down, and started eating.

Su Wanwan looked back and saw the brothers squatting in a row, each holding a bowl. The scene was so beautiful that she dared not look at it.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunyi followed suit and also picked up some vegetables and squatted beside Shen Su.

Su Wanwan went to the kitchen and got some garlic. She remembered that her grandfather used to like to eat braised noodles with garlic.

"Any of you who eat garlic may eat it."

It was placed on a stone bench in front of them, and Su Wanwan felt like she was feeding something.

It looks like I need to make another big table.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. You made this noodle so well. It's so delicious."

Shen Su took a clove of garlic first and ate it while talking.

"And this vegetable, is this what I planted in the vegetable garden the other day? Can I shamelessly ask for some seeds next year?"

Shen Su couldn't stop eating anymore. With his mouth bulging, he took a bite of the crispy cucumber.

"You still know you're thick-skinned."

Shen Liang was speechless about his younger brother.

Shen Heng ate in silence without saying a word.

Shen Yuan has already added a second bowl of rice.

Such delicious food can't stop them from eating.

"Shen Zhao will wash the pot later. Don't tire your sister-in-law."

After the brothers finished eating, Shen Yuan gave some instructions and took the three brothers back to the fields.

Shen Zhao smiled faintly.

Brother is really attracted to sister-in-law.

On weekdays, as long as the eldest brother is at home, he will cut the vegetables himself and let the eldest sister-in-law cook. He is also the one who rushes to wash the dishes after dinner.

They have to clean the house again in the next two days, and his eldest brother also gave him a task, which is to cut red wedding characters.

At this time, Su Wanwan was using her mind to check the books in the space, and she actually found a book on the evolution of agricultural tools.

I went to deliver water in the morning and saw that the tillage tools used in this era were still the very old-fashioned straight-beam plows. The soil was plowed shallowly and it took several passes to completely turn over the soil.

She remembered that she seemed to have learned about the development of agricultural tools in history class. Now, after looking through it, she actually found a picture of a curved plow.

After the wheat is harvested, the fields need to be plowed. If a curved plow could be invented, it would probably save a lot of effort.

I remember it was in the history textbook. Does anyone remember it? It's not a cool story. It's not that exaggerated. It only makes some changes that won't arouse suspicion. People in ancient times should have lived in seclusion.
