In the early morning, a ray of light shone through the window, and the rooster outside the house was dawning.

Li Jing closed his eyes and reached out to touch his phone. He stretched out his hand and touched it for a long time without touching anything. Then, he suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and sat up. What caught his eye was a wooden bed surrounded by three sides. When the person moved, the straw cushioned under the sheets squeaked. Even the quilt covered with quilts was covered with quilts, filled with dry straw.

The house is relatively spacious. In addition to the wooden bed, there is a four-fold red painted wooden screen in front of the bed, and a large bookshelves, which are neatly placed on it. There is a jujube wooden desk and a few chairs on one side of the bookshelves. In addition to these, only a large wooden cabinet that is one person tall is left.

There was another sound of weaving from outside. Li Jing remembered that last night he had been thinking about how to solve the problem of eating at home before going to bed late, but the sound of weaving never stopped. Unexpectedly, when he woke up early in the morning, the loom was still ringing. He couldn't help but feel heavy. This year, the dry land was almost completely harvested, and the whole family was barely maintained by several women who kept weaving and raising silkworms day and night.

What you should do and what you must do.

A few knocks came from outside the door, and then Wan'er pushed open the door and lifted the curtain.

"Sanlang, my sister-in-law cooked egg custard for you, get up and eat it." Although Wan'er is from Silla, she has lived in the Li family for nine years and has no difference between speaking and doing things and doing authentic locals. At home, Han has always regarded her as a daughter, so she is like a family. For Li Jing, she has always called her Saburo or her brother.

"Okay." Li Jing responded with a smile and got up.

Li Jing, who lifted the quilt and only wore a pair of calves all over his body, shivered. In the late October autumn, the morning was already very cold. He looked down at the calves on his body, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The calves were very similar to the panties of later generations, cut in two-foot cloth, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with holes on both sides, just covering his buttocks. It is said that Sima Xiangru, a great talent who eloped with Zhuo Wenjun during the Han Dynasty, was forced to live after elopement, so he bought a wine house in Chengdu and asked his wife Wenjun to be the shopkeeper. He himself wore only a pair of calves shorts to wash wine utensils. His father-in-law later had to admit the marriage.

Li Jing took a pair of pants from the bedside rack. In the late Tang Dynasty, although men mainly used round-neck robe shirts, there were also pleated trousers inside. Not only men wore trousers, but women also wore them. This trousers are pants, mainly developed by the influence of the Hu people. However, trousers are very loose, especially the two trousers, which are made very large, so they are mostly called large-mouth pants. The tops that match trousers are pleated, but they are made tight. These two are worn together to be pleated, which were originally used for military trousers to facilitate marching, but later they gradually became commonly used clothes for the common people.

However, as far as Li Jing knows, the trousers worn by women in the late Tang Dynasty are different from those worn by men. The biggest difference is that the trousers worn by women are tight and are said to be not closed, but open-crotch, but only with a tie on the crotch to facilitate the use of the toilet. As for underwear, women in the late Tang Dynasty did not have it.

After putting on the pleated trousers, Li Jing picked up a rope about three feet long and tied the knees of the trousers tightly. This way, it is very convenient for both riding a horse and walking. However, this rope also has a name, it is called tying trousers.

After wearing pleated trousers, they wore knee pants. Knee pants are shin clothes in Hanfu. Twin clothes are also called leg clothes, which are leg clothes from knee to ankle. During the Qin and Han dynasties, shin clothes were worn with close body, but at this time they had turned into knee pants, but they were worn outside the trousers.

Tied the knee pants on the trousers, then put on socks. Finally, there was a round-neck robe, leather belt, yarn trousers, and black leather boots. This dress took a cup of tea. If it weren't for the full memory of Li Jing for twenty years in his mind, he would have been at a loss with his naked outfit.

Li Jing was dressed and left the room to the hall. When he saw that his sister-in-law, who was in charge of the food at home, had already brought the food with Wan'er. A large pot of wild vegetable porridge was filled with a stack of pickles in front of each person. The sister-in-law smiled and said to him, "Go and brush your teeth and wash your face, and come to have a meal."

Li Jing, his sister-in-law and others greeted him, then turned to the yard to wash his face and brush his teeth. As soon as he passed, Wan'er diligently helped him pick up a bucket of cool well water from the well, and then brought him a face wash towel and toothbrush.

Looking at the toothbrush handed over by Wan'er, Li Jing was a little resistant. At this time in the late Tang Dynasty, there was already a toothbrush specially used for brushing teeth, made of ponytails, called brushing teeth. At the beginning, Li Jing did not pay attention to the difference between brushing teeth and toothbrushes in later generations. As a result, the first time I brushed my teeth, I brushed my mouth full of blood. The ponytail brush was very hard. If I accidentally brushed my teeth according to the method of later generations, I would suffer a great loss.

After taking the toothbrush, I took a little green salt from the small wooden box next to it and sprinkled it on it. I took my saliva and gulped it twice, and then began to brush my teeth carefully. In the late Tang Dynasty, most common people had the habit of brushing their teeth, and brushing their teeth was only one or two cents, but ordinary people could not afford green salt. In the late Tang Dynasty, salt was more expensive than rice, and the douches of salt cost more than 100 cents. If it was the best green salt, the price was even higher. However, the Li family was considered wealthy in their early years. They had this habit, but they still maintained the habit of brushing their teeth with green salt.

After carefully brushing my teeth, I finally didn't get blood in my mouth this time. When I returned to the house, my family had already arrived, and only my second sister-in-law was still chanting scriptures in the house.

When my father was still there, women in the family could not go to the hall to eat, so they had to eat in the house. However, now the Li family is in trouble, and only Li Jing is left in the family. After Li Jing said it a few times, Han agreed and no longer abides by the past etiquette rules. If the granaries are full, they know etiquette, and if they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace. For the Li family, which is now a problem with eating, there is no need to keep many rules. It is said that etiquette cannot be compared to common people, and ordinary people can make a living, so how can they care about those etiquettes?

"My grandma, I want to go to town today."

Han looked up at Li Jing, put down his chopsticks and said, "Okay, since you had an accident last time, you have been out of the house. You can go out for a walk in the town, and go to Fahua Temple to fulfill your incense and vows. Last time you had an accident, my mother made a vow to the Bodhisattva. Now you are well, it's time to repay the vows to the Bodhisattva, so you donate ten kilograms of incense oil!"

Li Jing did not believe in Buddhism, but he could not refute Han's belief in Buddhism. He nodded and agreed. Although ten kilograms of sesame oil are not a decisive amount in this family, it is worth it to make Han's peace of mind.

After dinner, Han entered the house and came out again but held a piece of silk and two pieces of cloth in his hand.

"My son, go to the town to bring this silk, and buy some if you want to buy any other two cloths. You can buy them at the grain store in the town to exchange for some sorghum, and you can bring them with you a bunch of money."

After looking at these things, Li Jing understood in his heart that this was almost half of the family's fortune. The Tang Dynasty had both money and silk, and in addition to copper coins as coins, it also stipulated the use of silk. The emperor also issued an edict that any transactions of more than ten cents of qian must be traded with silk.

At this time, two hundred coins of rice and eight hundred cigarettes of silk. One dou of rice is ten liters, which is about seven and a half kilograms of later generations. A piece of silk is forty feet long and one foot or eight inches wide, which is twelve meters long and half a meter wide, which is enough to make two robes.

A dou of rice is 200 coins, equivalent to 26 cents per catty of rice. A piece of silk is 800 cents, worth 30 kilograms of rice. According to the price at this time, three dou of rice can be exchanged for five meters of millet and six dou of sorghum. This piece of silk from the Li family can be exchanged for six dou of sorghum, and two pieces of cloth can be exchanged for ten dou of sorghum.

Sixteen dou of sorghum combined with 120 kilograms of later generations.

The Tang Dynasty border soldiers gave two liters of rice a day, and among women, they were one liter and one liter of rice a day. According to this standard, the standard rations for the seven members of the Li family should be seven liters a day, and they would consume five kilograms and seven taels of rice a day. Sixteen dou of sorghum is only 120 kilograms of rice, which is only enough to eat twenty days.

However, in today's days, the Li family naturally cannot eat so much food every day. Most of them are porridge, and they have to mix them with marmalade. They save two meals of porridge a day and try to maintain it at about one pound of rice a day. This hundred and twenty pounds of sorghum can last for four months and be eaten until the first month of next year. The woman at home works hard to weave cloth. If Li Jing does some short-term work, she may be able to survive until next year's wheat harvest.

"My grandma, I know, I'll go and go back soon."

Ps: The standard for giving grain to the Tang Dynasty: All the grains are given by the provincial government. One man Ding is given two liters of rice a day, two liters of salt and five pounds of salt. Wife, concubine, middle-aged man, female, (referred to those over 18 years old.) One liter of rice and five pounds of salt. Old, young man, (referred to those over 11 years old.) One liter of rice and one plethora of salt. Young man, female, (referred to those over 17 years old, one liter of salt and five pounds of salt. Young man, female, (referred to those over 7 years old, female, female, (referred to those over 15 years old,) Nine liters of rice and one scoop of salt. Young man, female, female, under six years old, rice and five pounds of salt. Old, middle-aged man, young man, serves as the official driver, and is also a student of the Imperial College, a doctor, although he has not yet become a Ding, he will give it according to the Ding rules."

PS2: The weights and measures of the Tang Dynasty, one foot is about 30 cm, and one step is 1.5 meters. There are two units of the other bucket, one is volume and the other is weight. The volume is one bucket and ten liters, and the weight is one stone and ten pounds. These two are not common.

As a unit of weight, according to the actual weight of Tang Dynasty coins calculated by modern experts, one tael of liang was 42.5 grams, one tael of liang was 680 grams, and one stone was 120 jin, which was about 80 kilograms of modern times. This bucket is equivalent to one tael of liang, 8 kilograms of liang.

As a volume unit, one dou is ten liters. The weight of a liter of modern one is 1.25 kilograms, and one dou is 12.5 kilograms. However, one liter in the Tang Dynasty is only equivalent to the 0.6 liters of modern ones. Therefore, a dou of modern ones is 7.5 kilograms of modern ones.

The rice bucket that ordinary people buy is a wooden measuring instrument, which is 7.5 kilograms in modern times, which is about 5 kilograms and 5 kilograms in the Tang Dynasty.
