Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

Chapter 245

After a day of work, Qi Cheng received a call from his mother when he returned home, asking him to go back when he had time, as the family had prepared a lot of vegetables and fruits for him.

By the way, help move some things.

Qi Cheng got up early the next day, put on the thick clothes he had prepared, and drove home at lightning speed.

Many of the ancient people outside the sky also left their homes. Seeing that the host could go back so conveniently, they could only sigh silently. When will it be so convenient for them to go back?

When will the steam engine manufactured by the court be usable? The speed is really too slow. The host can be said to have already fed it into his mouth.

Can't you even swallow it?

When the host's car arrived at the village entrance, the people outside the sky found that the situation in the fields had completely changed. Except for a few cabbages in some fields, the rest of the land was basically empty.

Some even had some dry corn stalks.

"These things would be great for burning, why are they just thrown on the ground?" an ancient person lamented. "Now we're even fighting over a few blades of grass."

"People in later generations have long used electricity. They use it to boil water. Of course, these broken grasses are useless."

……

When Qi Cheng returned home, he saw five or six cages hanging in the yard, filled with dried sweet potatoes, dried fish, dried apples and other things.

All kinds of smells filled the air.

"It's winter now, why are you still drying things outside? These things should be put away."

His mother smiled and said, "This is the last batch. While the sun is nice today, let's take it out and dry it. I've packed up all the things I prepared for you."

Qi Cheng nodded and followed his mother to the backyard of the old house to move things.

The eyes of the people outside the sky lit up. They thought this way of drying clothes was really great. They didn't have to worry about being bitten by rats, and it was much cleaner.

And this cage should be easy to make.

It's just a few thick wires and a net.

People in later generations are so smart that they can come up with this kind of method. How could they not think of it?

Daqin

"This should be easy. Have the Mohists quickly make a few," Qin Shi Huang ordered. "Once they're done, write down the steps and submit them to the government offices below."

Fusu nodded.

There are no sweet potatoes or apples this big in Daqin now, but it is also good for drying other things.

The Mohist disciples also felt that it was not difficult. The outer nets could be made of broken fishing nets, and the inner supporting frame could be made of wood.

One day is definitely enough.

……

Qi Cheng went into the old house and rummaged around with his mother for a long time before he managed to get out the stove for winter use. However, this thing wasn't very useful as the weather was too cold, so he would bring his parents to live with him.

Heat is much better than a stove.

Moreover, the family already has an air-energy heater installed, which is partially subsidized by the government. He doesn't know why his mother doesn't turn it on, and he wants to try how hot it is.

"There's still a little coal at home. It would be a waste if we don't burn it."

Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin felt that the stove he made was indeed similar to this one, but this kind of stove was still a rare thing in Chang'an and was basically eliminated in later generations.

"Your Majesty, should we also provide subsidies to the people to help them through the winter? The weather is getting colder and colder, and many people are still wearing thin clothes."

"I'll discuss this with the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow and come up with a figure as soon as possible."

Qing Dynasty

Ordinary people were still envious. They already had stoves at that time, but ordinary people were reluctant to burn them at home. When they had nothing to do, they basically hid under the quilts.

As for going up the mountain to collect firewood?

The mountain is owned by someone, so how can you just pick up things there? Those things need to be sold for money.

……

After returning home to help set up the stove, there was nothing else at home that needed his help, so Qi Cheng went to the village to get some water to drink, and his mother cooked some food for him at home.

After eating, we have to drive back.

At this time, there was not much farm work in the village. Some old people were leaning against the south wall to bask in the sun, and the others were basically busy with housework at home.

Of course, if you are particularly diligent, you can go to the mountains to pick pine cones. Qi Cheng also picked up pine cones when he was a child because he had to hand them over to school in winter.

Today's students probably don't need it anymore.

After he came back from fetching water, his mother had already cooked the meal. She had specially made his favorite dried fish and cornmeal pancakes. These two things were a perfect match.

You can never get tired of eating Qicheng.

The people outside the sky were full of questions. There were clearly a few big white steamed buns in the pot, so why did the host eat cornmeal pancakes? Wouldn't that hurt his throat?

"This...this is totally incomprehensible. Why don't you eat refined grains? Those steamed buns look so fragrant. I can even smell the fragrance through the sky."

"There's more food in later generations... maybe it's the host's personal preference. Look, he even ate sweet potatoes... but not the steamed buns."

"If he doesn't eat it, how nice it would be for us to eat it. Look at the steamed buns in the future, they are even whiter than ours. I must be reborn into that era in my next life."

……

After Qi Cheng had eaten his fill, he planned to go back, but his mother insisted that he take some cabbage and radishes back with him, even though Qi Cheng said he couldn't finish them all by himself.

"You're not busy now, so you have time to cook at home. Don't always buy food outside. The food outside is not clean..."

When he arrived at the place where the cabbages were stored, Qi Cheng looked helpless. There was clearly a storage room at home, but his parents put them in the room where he slept.

"There's room for vegetables at home..."

"You don't live here, so it's empty anyway. The temperature in this room is just right. Don't let my cabbage get frozen if you leave it outside. It's our vegetable for the whole winter."

Qi Cheng looked incredulous. It was a winter's supply of vegetables. Their family was lucky if they could eat ten of them in the winter. It wasn't decades ago. They couldn't eat whatever vegetables they wanted now.

The people outside the tent had eight words in their minds: "There's food at home, so there's no need to worry." Look inside this house. Besides the cabbages and radishes, there are also several bags of peanuts and corn. They definitely can't eat so much food in one winter.

Then I looked at what I had prepared at home, and it was far from enough.

Daqin

Qin Shihuang heard it very clearly. As long as the temperature is right, this kind of vegetable can be kept for a whole winter without going bad, and the yield is also good. It is simply the dish of his dreams.

"Fusu, ask the farmers in Xianyang to look for this dish. I don't think it came from outside."

"Yes."

Song Dynasty

In fact, many businessmen have long discovered the off-season vegetables in supermarkets, but they thought that the only way to deal with them was to use air conditioning. But now ordinary people can also eat them.

There must be another way.

If I have learned this, I will post it here.
