Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

    A Sheng covered her naked forehead, she is only over a year old now, except for a small piece of fetal hair in the shape of a peach heart on the top of her head, everything else is shaved. That's right, it's the hairstyle of the apron doll in the old-school New Year's picture. Cao Teng said that if he wanted to raise her as a boy, he really wanted to raise her as a boy, and even his hairstyle was the same as Geely's younger brother.

    "The wheat is ground, but it is still wheat." Ah Sheng pretended to be stupid. As her teeth grew longer, she spoke more fluently.

    There is a stone mill with a diameter of about one meter in the courtyard. Two servants are busy putting the shelled wheat grains into the stone mill, and three other big men are pushing the stone mill around. When the first grain of wheat comes out, the servants will patiently remove the husk from it. The wheat flour milled for the first time is not fine enough, and it needs to be poured into a stone mill and ground repeatedly to obtain real flour.

    However, Ah Sheng is still not satisfied. Humans cannot remove the bran, so the final product is yellowed whole wheat flour. At this time, the sieves were all made of bamboo, which could not meet the needs of sifting flour at all, so the steamed buns that were finally steamed had a rough texture and were mixed with various unknown small particles.

    "Productivity is low." Ah Sheng complained silently in his heart.

    More than a dozen people had a busy day, and finally got this kind of thing. To eat real white noodles, she had to improve the stone mill and get a sieve with a small aperture. For this plan to be implemented, it has to wait until she is older. Before that, it was considered whole grains.

     Whole grains are good for your health.

    A Sheng reached out to grab the hot steamed bun, and was scalded back by the heat. "Hoohoo." She blew against her red-hot fingers.

    "Squeamish! Look at Dalang."

    Asheng turned his head, and saw Geely's little brother holding the broken body of the steamed bun with both hands, and stuffing it into his mouth with a bow from left to right. Seeing Ah Sheng looking over, he also showed a silly smile: "Delicious. Steamed cake, delicious."

    A Sheng: ...you just want to be happy.

    Except Ah Sheng, everyone was very satisfied with the yellowed steamed buns mixed with small particles, including the well-informed grandfather. After all, during this period, the main way to eat wheat was to cook wheat rice. Think about it, the wheat with the shell is directly boiled like rice, the fragrance is fragrant, but every bite is the esophagus fighting against the hard shell. Some people who are more particular can mash the wheat grains a little before cooking and add some spices; ordinary people want to eat pure wheat rice or extravagant, and usually they have to eat it with beans.

    As I get older, I want something soft. Feitinghou Cao Teng ate three big steamed buns in one go before stopping. "I can't eat it anymore, fine wheat noodles, it's too extravagant, it's not the way of housekeeping."

    A piece of rough noodles that Ah Sheng had just swallowed almost got stuck in his throat. what do you say? Extravagance? Isn't our family rich? And you call this kind of thin noodles? Fine noodle is crying okay.

    A Sheng stared at the big round eyes, and Geely stared at the big round eyes.

    Grandfather:…

    He beckoned and made Qingbo lean over. "Tell them to grind more, save it, and relieve the hunger of the two children every few days."

    Qingbo nodded.

    Qingbo nodded again. "Don't worry, master."

    The grandfather thought for a while: "My cake is whiter than the palace banquet, which is inappropriate. You ask the kitchen to make some regular shapes, and then attach the method of grinding wheat, and send them to the palace. go in."

    Being here, everything is covered, Qing Bo bowed and was about to leave, and was stopped again. "Don't send it blatantly, just take my token and send it to the imperial kitchen. Guo Ren, who is in charge of that place, has worked with me before."

    Asheng...Asheng is helpless. She poked the thick-faced steamed buns on the plate in front of her that had already served as tributes, and deeply felt the distance from the times.

    After explaining the matter, the grandfather hugged the sullen Ah Sheng on his knees: "You, the gods are not as delicate as you. You don't wear fine linen, and you don't eat fine wheat. Door, who can afford you."

    "Isn't it okay not to go out [1]?" Grandmother Wu came in in response. After getting along for a long time, I realized that this grandmother is a capable person. She used to be the big maid in the palace, and occasionally she spoke with a neat and neat style: "Let Geely support her in the future."

    Cao Teng put a plate of steamed buns on his wife's desk. "You try it, it's like turning upside down. It's not enough to grind it eight times."

     Mrs Wu wiped her hands elegantly before eating half of it. After swallowing it all, he wiped his mouth and said, "You and I also have a day to enshrine our grandchildren."

    Cao Teng laughed and looked proud.

    "You just spoil Erlang. Lucky, come to grandma."

    Geely stood up from behind his small table and ran to his grandmother with windy steps. Wu shi hugged him and sat on her lap, patted him while saying, "Your grandfather hurts Ruyi because her fate is not good. Father depends on father when he is here, and will depend on you in the future."

    This logical relationship is too complicated for real children to understand.

    So Wu deleted all the cause and effect: "I want you to support Ruyi in the future."

    Geely nodded decisively: "I raise Ruyi." Then he grinned at Ah Sheng in Cao Teng's arms.

    Wu sighed: "Is it a little younger? I don't know if he really understands or fakes it."

    "What are you anxious about, just teach slowly."

     Mr. Wu rubbed his eyebrows, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and he began to tease his grandson.

    Ding came in at this time. He was dressed in a hemp-colored plain clothes, so blurred in the blood-red sunset that he couldn't make out the shape.

    A Sheng rubbed her eyes, and when she looked up again, Ding was already kneeling on the ground with her maid, she could only see the top of her mother's black hair.

    A Sheng: I'll go, is it so difficult to make technological progress? I just grind some wheat.

    Cao Teng was displeased and smashed his chopsticks. Most adults who dote on children are a virtue. It's okay to say "excessive waste" by yourself, but not if others say it, even if it's the child's mother. "Geely and Ruyi haven't grown together. What's wrong with getting a soft cake to eat with them? Is my family buying or selling by force, or abusing the next person? A mistress, why are you panicking?"

    "But...that's eight times of milling..."

    "When someone asks, you say that you and A Song have filial piety to me. I will govern the world with filial piety, let's see who dares to make irresponsible remarks about this matter!"

    A Sheng and his brother have two star eyes, admiringly looking at the domineering grandfather. Geely knew that his steamed cakes were saved, while Ah Sheng admired his grandfather's agility and clarity of thinking.

    After finishing the ceremony, Mr. Ding straightened up and pressed the corner of his eye with a handkerchief. "The two people who don't worry, it's all up to Aon to plan for them."

    "What's the matter with you coming this time?" Mr. Wu's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to notice that a maid behind Mrs. Ding had trimmed her eyebrows.

    "This is Yin's." Ding smiled and pulled the beautiful maid forward, "Zhang is pregnant, so there is no one to take care of Langjun..."

    "Oh." Wu said indifferently, "Yu, Chu, Qin, Qian... in the backyard are not human, are they?"

    Ding was choked by her mother-in-law, and her face immediately had a look of fear: "But those..."

    "Those are not your dowries."

    "Ehhhh." Cao Teng quickly stopped the old wife and comforted his daughter-in-law, "You are the mistress, you can make a decision about the matter in the backyard of Song."

    Ding was persuaded by good words, and tears flowed down. She was also bitter in her heart, her facial features were dull, her skin was dark, and she had no culture, and she didn't like Cao Song anywhere. What should I do if I don't get the servant girl? Waiting for Mrs. Zhang to climb onto her head?

    Wu shi took a deep breath and calmed the anger between her brows. "I'm upset today and I'm **** off at you. Don't take it to heart."

     Mrs Ding hurriedly bowed to the ground and saluted: "My family is not happy, it's because my daughter-in-law did not serve well."

    A Sheng couldn't hold back and knocked over the plate.

     Mrs Wu looked speechless, she waved her hand to Mrs Ding to take someone down. It is estimated that if Ding stays any longer, Wu, who is in menopause, will explode.

    "That Yin..."

    "You make the decision." Wu said impatiently.

    Ding just left.

    "Remove Qi, ah, relieve Qi." Cao Teng poured a bowl of water for Mrs. Wu, "As I get older, my temper is getting bigger and bigger. What was in the palace in the early years? You have never suffered grievances before, you are always looking like a calm face, but now you are so angry with your daughter-in-law."

     Mr. Wu drank the water and slammed the bronze bowl on the table. "Look at her, the concubines are placed in the concubine's room one by one. Which aristocratic family would be so savage?"

    Cao Teng bitterly haha: "We are not an aristocratic family either."

    Wu's brows raised: "If you don't learn well, you will learn badly. If the family style is not right, what will happen to the third generation?

    Cao Teng was silent for a while: "She is a fool, don't let her interfere in outside affairs. It's a big deal, you and I will work hard for a few more years to pave the way for our children and grandchildren."

    Geely often listens to their grandparents’ conversations under the knees, and her level of observation has gradually improved, knowing that this time sensitive topics are over, and it’s time to act like a spoiled child. He took his chubby hand to cover the wrinkles at the corners of his grandmother's eyes. "Grandma, don't be angry."

    Wu's holding the big fat grandson slowly.

    Geely's complexion is like her mother's, a little dark. The breastfeeding period is not yet obvious. After the first year old, it is two shades together with Ah Sheng. Fortunately, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he can take the masculine route in the future. If he inherits Ding's small eyes, it will be a real pill.

    A Sheng has inherited his father's good looks.

    Yes, a lot of concubines and scumbags have a handsome face. One of the most important reasons why Cao Song was chosen by Cao Teng as his adopted son among a large number of young men surnamed Cao was that he was good-looking. In the era when there was no imperial examination, face was very important in official circles. As long as the civil servants who achieve high positions are not ugly. Although Cao Teng was an eunuch, he was in the ranks of Da Changqiu and Fei Tinghou. He picked his adopted son to inherit his political capital, so he naturally had to pick one who could be promoted smoothly. Children's intelligence is not yet obvious, but whether they look good or not is a matter of glance.

    Note [1]: "Going out" here means getting married.
