Chapter 62 The most wonderful thing in the world

For women in the Song Dynasty, hairpins were like wedding rings. In the Song Dynasty, men and women went on blind dates. If they were satisfied with each other, a man would insert a hairpin on a woman's head. This is called "inserting a hairpin", and the marriage was decided. If they were not satisfied, women would not suffer any loss - because according to the rules, men needed to give women a piece of brocade, which meant "shocking".

Therefore, women who get married must have a hairpin that they got married. Those who are wealthy in the family will use gold hairpins to "insert their hairpins"; those who are poor will also use a silver hairpins. Most of these hairpins are engraved with the name of the producer, and after marriage, the wife will also engrave the name of her husband to commemorate - in theory, this hairpin will accompany the woman into the coffin to indicate that the woman "dead oneself."

Shizhang waved his hand lazily: "So, just put those aside. Looking back, I will use a stencil to erase the mark."

Huang E picked out the marked hairpins, and after a moment, she opened the wrapped quilt, shook out a pile of golden Buddhas, jade Buddhas, silver statues, jinglings, and fell all over the bed. Huang E picked out the pile of things without pity, putting the marks aside, and putting them alone without marks... Unfortunately, most of the exquisitely crafted statues have names and names on them, and most of these statues are for blessings. According to convention, wealthy families will specially make some such objects, give alms to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, or ask the temple to put these things in front of the Buddha, instructing the monks to burn incense and pray for every day, and wait for 49th, or 9981st, and then take these incense-smoked things home as mascots.

Such statues are made of evil-proof and have exquisite workmanship. Basically, such luxury goods are tailor-made, and they must be engraved with a name on them. Unlike the former, they are not engraved with "believe in a man (female) and some dedication", but mostly they are the words "someone is made by someone".

While sorting, Huang E looked back from time to time. Shi Chuan was thinking, Huang E couldn't help asking: "What are you thinking about brother? How do you still think about leaving?"

Shi Chuan replied weakly: "No, I'm thinking about how to make snow cream."

"I've never heard of such things."

"There must be this thing, but you don't know... Oh, Huan Niang's hands were all ticks. I was thinking of making a ointment and applying it to her hands. I am recalling the production method now."

Huang E immediately said: "Since my brother hired the mother-in-law to come, you can't let the mother-in-law see these things. Brother. Why not start in the backyard. Ask the sisters to study in the backyard, let Huan Niang stay in front of the moon gate of the east yard, and idlers are prohibited from entering and leaving."

"Don't worry, things are very complicated. Every improvement involves the innovation and progress of the entire process. A little progress will lead to the entire technology tree. It's really a headache."

Huang E stood up, walked to the side of the room, hugged the room's arm, snuggled with her face, and said softly: "Brother, don't worry, brother, we live a good life now, and the sisters are slowly learning to read and settle accounts. You have also taught them how to make coal cakes. In other words, coal powder doesn't cost much, the soil is ready and everywhere, and this skill can be eaten for a lifetime. What else can I worry about?

Look at the jewelry that is full of jewelry. My brother is so concerned about them and specially distributed them gold and silver jewelry. In the future, no matter where they marry, they will go wherever they are, even if they are desperate, just sell the jewelry for ten cents, buy some coal powder that they don’t want in the coal house, and open a charcoal shop by themselves, and they can make money by making a living. Even if they don’t learn any new skills from now on, they don’t have to worry in their lives.”

Shi Chuan nodded: "This is reasonable. Although coal cakes are a bit dirty and tiring, they have always been a must-have for daily life, and no one can live without...

Wait, by the way, such a stove should be the most suitable for the Song Dynasty. As long as the wind gate is closed, the remaining fire of a piece of coal cake can be burned from night to dawn, and you will no longer have to get up in the middle of the night to add firewood to maintain the fire."

Huang E clapped and nodded: "Oh, I never thought that this kind of publicity emphasizes the effect of the iron furnace. It is difficult for the Li family iron furnace to sell it very much. If he sells the furnace, it will be smoother for us to make coal cakes."

"Yes!" Shi Chuan clapped his hands: "There is no technical threshold for making iron furnaces. Those molds are not counted. As long as you can punch iron, you can knock out the stove... Humph, there are big technical barriers for making coal cakes - not everyone can make this simple mold for stamping coal cakes... Hurry up and hide the drawings of the stamping machine and ask the little ladies to hand-paint one, so that they can fully understand them. Then, we destroy the drawings so that no one can imitate them."

"Yes, yes, brother, you have to listen to me on this. It is related to the sisters' future ways of making a living. You can't let Li Dalang get it at will - you agree to Li Shi that if his brother gets the drawings, he will kick him out of the wall and never recognize him."

"That's right, in the future, coal cake shops everywhere must be opened by our family. I won't tell him the average person..."

As the two were talking, at the door, several mothers laughed and jokingly entered the yard. Shi Chuan took Huang E out to meet him. After introducing the newly hired mothers, the latter rushed Shi Chuan with a kind gift and said, "Master Shi, you have bought the things you want."

"Okay, greet the girls, it's time to eat!"

In the Song Dynasty, meatloaf was probably a luxury food similar to modern pastry cakes. Shi Chuan greeted him in the yard, and the young ladies who had just finished the bath jumped out, chattering and yelling about splitting the cakes... Shi Chuan observed the young ladies' faces with satisfaction, and felt that this spring outing was really worth it. After this outing, the young ladies relieved their psychological pressure and felt that other people's comments seemed not as unbearable as they imagined. Now, smiles appeared on their faces again.

You know, the kidnappers have a very wrong eye. Although the female girls they chose were still loli, they were all beautiful women. When they were relaxed, they saw that they were colorful when they walked through this yard, and the laughter was endless. The laughter - the laughter of many little beauties was the most beautiful sound in the world.

After the rain, a bunch of girls brought a bench and sat on the bluestone floor, happily gnawing on the meat pie, praising each other's deliciousness... Of course, after Huang E got the meat pie, she immediately handed it to Huan Niang who was looking at her as promised. Huan Niang happily put away the meat pie that she handed to her, took a big bite of the cake she handed over to Huang E, closed her eyes, experienced the deliciousness of the meat pie, and took out a meat pie and gave it to Huang E: "I thought about it and decided to taste the chicken and duck made by my brother first... Well, I thought it was a big deal to clean the chicken and duck, but it wasn't the brother's hands and feet. Look, he has started washing the chamber."

Huang E glanced at Shiteng, who was squatting while busy, and sighed pitifully: "Why are you not hungry at all, and you don't eat first and then work."
