Hearing Su Gu'an's question, Su Yu realized that this is ancient times, and women all pay attention to the three obediences and four virtues, so I am a freak who dares to go up trees and down rivers to set off firecrackers.But I'm just me because I'm different, isn't it?

And there are no outsiders at home, so it's okay to be extreme.

"Of course I dare. You girl, I have nothing to fear except insects. My mother is also afraid of mice. Last time I found a nest of little mice that hadn't grown hair in the garden. I showed them to my mother. , she was scared to death...haha..." Su Yu replied very naturally.

Seeing that Su Yu is so different, Su Gu'an is also somewhat used to it, but seeing that she is still bullying her mother, she couldn't help poking Su Yu's head: "Your mother is afraid of that thing, don't scare her again next time." Ha!"

"Of course!" Su Yu replied with a grin.He lowered his head and glanced at the firecracker in his hand. The firecracker was very short and seemed to only ring a hundred times. If they were lit together, wouldn't they burn out in a short while?
Su Yu thought for a while, and suddenly had a good idea.Because this long strip of firecrackers is composed of small firecrackers one by one, Su Yu picked off the more than 100 small firecrackers one by one from the beginning, and then found a cloth bag and put all the small firecrackers in it .

Carrying the small bag, Su Yu went to the pot and stove to look for the charcoal left over from the morning with some sparks. When he found it, he took two things and went to the yard together.

Su Fang played poker with them all afternoon at Lu's house, she was very tired, so she fell on the kang, looked sideways at how Wang Sang wove the cloth, and then thought about what to do to be like Her mother wove cloth like that.

That's not the case with Su Bai, who has been restless all this time, and followed Su Yu outside in a desperate manner.

The charcoal burns quickly, and Su Yu has to blow from time to time to blow off the ashes that have just been produced, and then takes out a small firecracker from the cloth bag, holding the lower part of the small firecracker in his left hand, and sticking the sparks on the charcoal with his right hand. When it got to the core above the firecrackers, it seemed that there was a "呲", and when the core burned, the firecrackers were quickly thrown out, and only a "bang" was heard, and the firecrackers exploded on the ground.

It was the first time Su Bai saw such a way to play, and applauded from the side full of novelty.

Su Yu didn't take it lightly, the firepower of the ancient firecrackers was not as strong as the modern firecrackers, and they didn't make much noise. Fortunately, she was frightened when she lit them.

After ordering more than a dozen, Su Bai couldn't hold back anymore, and wanted to play with Su Yu.But it is one thing for Su Yu to play by himself, and it is not enough for a child as young as Su Bai to play.Firecrackers are still very dangerous to him, but he is fine, if something happens to Su Bai, she will regret it for the rest of her life.

"Su Bai, don't make any noise, I will let you play when you grow up." Su Yu refused.

Su Yu was puzzled: "Then when will I grow up?"

"When you reach my age, you will be considered a grown-up." Su Yu thought for a while and replied slowly.

Su Bai has no idea about numbers. Hearing what Su Yu said, he didn't know how big "Su Yu is so big", so in the next few years, Su Bai would always ask, "Sister, have I grown up?"
After playing for a while, Su Gu'an also returned home, and Wang Sang called Su Yu into the house to make dumplings for tonight.The so-called first time raw and second time cooked, this time Su Yu's technique has improved a lot, at least the dumplings won't be boiled again.

After making the dumplings, it was already very late, because Su Yu had been playing outside with a few children in the afternoon and didn't have a good rest, so after making the dumplings, he went to the kang to have a rest for a while.The kang was very hot, and Su Yu had a good dream while sleeping on it.When I woke up again, it was already time for New Year's Eve dinner.

When Su Fang was helping Wang Sang cook dumplings in the kitchen, Su Yu saw that he couldn't help, so he walked to the window and looked outside.In the past, some people were reluctant to light their oil lamps, but they also lit them tonight. The colorful lights are extraordinarily beautiful.

She couldn't help thinking that at this time, modern times should also look like thousands of lights.The streets are full of colorful lights, and all kinds of shops are not closed, so the lights are kept on until the next morning.Although the lights in this village are not as dazzling as modern ones, they are just as warm to the eyes.

As long as I can be with my family, what is the point of being poor.Su Yu is even grateful now that the place she traveled to was not a rich and noble family, because relying on her own hands made her feel that this second life was very meaningful.

Su Yu, who had been standing for a long time, finally heard Wang Sang calling her to eat, and the meal was about to start.She looked back at the figure holding the dumplings, and she was even more thankful that her family members were in good health, free from disease and pain, and now they could still sit together and eat the New Year's Eve dinner. She was really happy.

A few hours ago, Su Gu'an took out the little beans that were put in the water tank in the morning to look at them, and told Su Yu which month had more rain and which month had less rain.Su Yu just listened quietly from the sidelines. Sometimes when Wang Sang and Su Guan looked at her, they would smile brightly.

The meal in the evening was much richer than before, and the family even killed a chicken.During the meal, Wang Sang also took out the money in his purse and gave each of the children some lucky money.

Su Yu touched the dozens of coins, not to mention how happy she was, she hadn't received the lucky money for many years.

So in such a harmonious atmosphere, the Su family finally spent such a harmonious and happy new year.

After the year passed, the weather gradually turned hot, and the whole family of the Su family was about to start planting spring seeds again.What farmers value most is land and food, and seeds in spring are especially important.

Su Yu doesn't know much about how people in ancient times chose seeds, because in modern times, technology is very advanced, and it is all technological breeding. Seed types such as hybrid rice will greatly increase the yield per mu.

But after ancient times, this kind of technology couldn't be developed, and Su Yu couldn't do anything about seeds.

So when the family members were discussing the seeds, Su Yu would not speak.

In ancient times, the artificial seed selection technology was used for seeds. As the name suggests, the large and full grains received this year were selected as the seeds for the next year.

There are many theories about the selection of seeds. For example, in the "Book of Fansheng" in the Western Han Dynasty, it is recorded that the ear selection method of "preserving the superior and weeding out the inferior" is artificially selected: "Take wheat seeds, wait for them to ripen, and choose large ears. The strong "harvest it and store it well. "Plant it at the right time, and you will reap twice as often."For the selection of millet and millet, it also emphasizes "selecting those with pure ear color".The "Qi Min Yao Shu" of the Northern Wei Dynasty said: "Miliat, millet, millet, beam, and sorghum should not be harvested every year, and those with pure tassel color should be selected and hung high. In spring, other species will be harvested to prepare Seeds for next year." This shows that people not only attached great importance to seed selection at that time, but also established a special seed field, and planted the selected solid-colored and good ears in the seed field to avoid mixing with other seeds. "Qi Min Yao Shu" also pointed out that not only should the management of the seed field be strengthened, but also that the crops in the seed field should be harvested first and stored separately when harvesting.

In the book "Qi Min Si Shu" in the Qing Dynasty, it was proposed to select a single ear in the fertile land and divide the collection and storage.He called this single ear selection breeding "one ear transmission".This method of breeding from one ear to another is an out-and-out single-plant selection method. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty personally applied the single-plant selection method to consciously select the mutation of crops, thereby cultivating a new and excellent crop. Rice species - "Royal Rice".
Although Su Gu'an may not understand so many seed selection methods, he can also see from his proficient techniques that they are similar to these methods.The preparations have been started since harvesting, and now the rice harvested outside has been brought into the house. The family divides the seeds day and night, and when they see that they are growing well, they will be excited for a while.

Finally, when spring is about to begin, the family's seeds are finally selected.During this period, Su Yu also connected with the person sent by Wu Feng, and gave the drawn blueprint to the errand runner.

Wu Feng's efficiency is very good, and he can almost implement Su Yu's plan very well. Because the nail clippers are only taking big orders, there is not much to worry about, so he puts the rest of his energy on opening restaurants. .

Wu Feng also sent the finished sample card to Li Wuge's house. Li Wuge had never seen such a rare thing before, so Su Yu simply brought her a play introduction. Wu Ge just wanted to try how to play this thing, but he never thought that he would become addicted after trying it out.

The most important thing for a rich lady is time. Even if she has to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, there will still be a lot of free time with nothing to do.It just so happened that during the Chinese New Year period, you can't always study, hard-working people have to rest, so this chess and card has become Li Wuge's new favorite.

She couldn't play by herself, so she simply called all the ladies and ladies in the family together.

So the problem arises.When there are more people playing chess and cards, it becomes a problem. It is not enough at all, and in order to show his own grade, Su Yu uses the best materials. If he wants to imitate the same one immediately, Li Wuge feels that is impossible.

So there will always be a lot of people wanting to play in Li's house, but they can't get a seat.Wu Feng saw that it was almost time, so he began to promote their newly opened restaurant in Sioux City, featuring the new chess and cards.

The design of the restaurant is also based on Su Yu's ideas. According to the price, the room settings are also different, and even the quality of chess and cards in each room is different.

Su Yu felt that since he wanted to attract customers from the whole society, it was necessary to distinguish between different classes, so that the rich would not feel that they were undervalued, nor would the poor be out of reach.

Su Yu even made a trip to Sioux City under the pretext of going to see the Jinsi, but he was shocked when he saw it.
