Traveling through ancient times to farm and build infrastructure

Chapter 211 Calendar 211
Yao Xiaoqing went to the field and saw that the radish seedlings were growing well.

Turning to the taro field, Jianxiang and several women are digging taro.Over there, Shan Amu took several women to sow wheat seeds.

Seeing Yao Xiaoqing, Shan Amu said worriedly: "Xiaoqing, I'm still a little worried that these wheat seeds will freeze to death."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "Mum, I only used half of the wheat seeds. Let's try to plant them for a season to see if we can grow wheat."

She paused, "I'm worried that the wheat seeds will freeze to death, how about this! After you have scattered the wheat seeds, pull a small stone to crush the soil, and bury the wheat seeds in the soil, and it should not freeze to death."

Shan Amu nodded, "I see, just like cultivating taro, covering wheat seeds with a layer of soil."

"Yes, come back after you finish spreading."

Yao Xiaoqing went to the kitchen to find some sticks of charcoal as thick as little fingers, stuffed them into the reed pipe, found a straight thick bamboo slice, and took them back to the yard.She took out a notepad from her bag, and there was a date on it that she guessed and recorded. Today is late September.

According to the records above, it started snowing shortly after autumn last year, but this year everything is normal except for the dry weather.

Yao Xiaoqing thought about the water in the cave, which has never stopped flowing, and the influence of heavenly stems on the tribe is not great.

When Jiang Li arrived, he saw Yao Xiaoqing sitting at the table in the main room, and walked in with a smile, "Qingwu, I heard from Uncle Hu that you made paper."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, "Yes, I also left some window paper for you, and I wanted to give you a surprise." She said, taking out the window paper in the frame and the selected paper, and putting them away. on the table.

"Great, you did a great job." Jiang Li held a piece of paper and was amazed, "Qingwu, you are so good, is there anything else you don't know?"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "What I ask you to do is what I don't know how to do."

Jiang Li nodded with a smile, "You tell me, I will definitely do it."

Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "I thought I've already arrived here, so I can't live in a daze! Just before the autumn harvest last year, I chose a full moon night and started recording from that day."

"Because we have the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar, most of the younger generation like us can't remember the solar terms of the lunar calendar. Oh! There are also twelve zodiac signs. I only remember that the year of the rat is the year of the ox and the year of the tiger. Behind me I just can't remember."

She took out the notebook and pushed it in front of Jiang Li, "I recorded the time and weather on it. I would like to ask you to draw a big picture of the calendar for me to stick on the wall, and mark the solar terms of the lunar calendar. There will be a picture in the future." Reference."

Jiang Li picked up the notebook and looked at the date and weather recorded on it. He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Qing Wu, compared to you, I am really a man of seven feet. This is the attitude you should have in life. I have to learn from you in the future."

"Hey!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled and waved his hands, "Don't praise me, I just want to make my life more comfortable."

"If you want to make yourself more comfortable, you need to have that ability." Jiang Li said with a smile, "If you just want to draw an almanac to let everyone know, it's easy to know what year, month, and day it is today. It's just the 24 solar terms. The exact time, I heard it was calculated by using the sun's yellow meridian."

"It's the first time I've heard of the yellow meridian of the sun! Do you know how to calculate it?"

Jiang Li looked at Yao Xiaoqing with a face of shame, "I don't understand either. However, there is also a saying in the solar terms song: a year is divided into December, and 24 festivals are closely connected. According to the calculation according to the Gregorian calendar, the two qi of each month do not change. In the first half of the year, there are June and Ganyi, and in the second half of the year, there are eighth and Gansu. These are the festivals, and the difference is only one or two days.

On top of that, we don't know if the dates recorded are accurate.If the exact time is not required, I can draw one with reference to the almanac of the Jin Dynasty. Do you think so? "

After hearing this, Yao Xiaoqing felt that it would be better to draw a picture according to the Dajin calendar, "Okay, just follow the Dajin calendar painting, and when you mark the numbers, please use the one I wrote."

"Okay!" Jiang Li responded readily, picked up a pen and paper and began to draw, "We started recording in January this year, this year is the first year of Mount Yao..."

Two hours later, Jiang Li had finished drawing four calendar pictures.

There is also a big golden mouse lying in the pile of corn and beans on each of them.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the naive golden mouse on the painting, and praised the neat font: "Jiang Li, your calligraphy and painting are good."

Jiang Li smiled, and pointed to the simplified characters on the notebook, "I told you not to be angry, I found that your handwriting is missing arms and legs, is that how your handwriting is written like this, or is there some other reason? "

Yao Xiaoqing glanced at him, "There's nothing to be angry about, we have simplified and traditional characters, and what you wrote is traditional."

"Oh!" Jiang Li suddenly realized, "So you have two kinds of characters, so when you take the scientific examination, do you also use two fonts for the test?"

Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile, "All exams use simplified characters." She took a calendar and the rest of the paper, rolled them together and put them in the back basket, "You take these papers back to write and draw for fun."

"Okay!" Jiang Li responded readily, and after thinking about it, he said, "Qing Wu, I'll help you write two thousand-character essays silently, and you can teach them how to read."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile on her face, "Okay!"

Jiang Li felt that her smile was as bright as the morning glow, bright and moving, so he raised his lips and smiled and said, "When I'm free, I'll find some paint and paint next year's calendar, dye some red paper, and write Spring Festival couplets during the New Year." , draw New Year pictures, get together to celebrate the new year.”

"Okay!" Yao Xiaoqing looked at him with a pleasant smile, "I'm just waiting for your paint."

Looking at her smile, Jiang Li suddenly felt a little hot on his face, and lifted the basket to conceal it, "I'll go back first, you wait for me to bring the paint."

Yao Xiaoqing took two steps forward, "Go slowly!"

"Okay!" Jiang Li waved his hand and hurried away.

Yao Xiaoqing turned around and pasted one of the calendars in the main room, one was going to be pasted in the stone tool room, and the other was taken and pasted in the cafeteria.

Hua leaned forward and walked to the calendar, "Xiaoqing, what are you doing drawing a big mouse eating corn and beans?"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "This is called a calendar. You see, September nineteenth is today, and tomorrow is twenty..."

Hua blushed and looked at her, "Xiaoqing, I only know how to count, and I didn't remember the numbers you taught me."

"Lazy!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded her forehead, "Wait for me to teach you again."

"Hey!" Hua rubbed her stomach and responded with a smile.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at her swollen belly, "Hua, how long will it take for you to have a baby?"

"Mother said next spring." Hua smiled happily.

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "It's still early!"

At this time Shan Amu came in with a bag of taro, "Xiaoqing, it's raining, Mufeng and the others should be back today, right?"
