This year it's especially snowy.

The eaves are icy, more than three feet away.

Liu Bei learned from his mistakes and had a lot of firewood in his family, which was enough for the mid-winter needs. Before the New Year, he collected a lot of goose feathers, and his mother made them into feather clothes and wore them close to her body, which was very warm. When it comes to her mother's needlework, she was really invincible. The problem of hair running that was not completely solved in later generations was completely solved with fine stitches.

On the fourth floor of the warehouse building, the doors and windows are closed. A brazier is placed in the middle, and the charcoal fire is raging in the basin, which is heating the beehive.

Liu Bei carefully checked and confirmed that the bee swarm was not in hindrance, so he left quietly.

Knowing that even beekeeping can make three thousand households live in seclusion, Liu Bei cherishes his two boxes of bees. The most important thing is that the jelly needs to be kept fresh and seasoned, which is indispensable.

In this era, the most popular drink was honey syrup. Before drinking honey syrup, Yuan Shu vomited blood and died of death for several buckets.

Bees are really important.

There were wild cats coming and going at home, but my mother said it was okay. There was a lot of grain in the warehouse, so wild cats could prevent mice from getting sick. Liu Bei said it was better to keep a domestic cat. But his mother shook her head and refused, saying that wild cats were enough to kill mice. Liu Bei did not insist.

Gongsun quietly told him that it is not advisable to raise a cat when he is a widow.

Why is this?

Liu Bei didn't understand.

Snow falls day and night, and communication is cut off. Liu Bei's living circle has even shrunk to the point where he only has his own house. In addition to worshiping his ancestors, the village's wedding and white events were entrusted to the brothers of Cong Shuhe clan. The well water was also covered with ice. The snow melted water was taken to provide daily needs.

Salted fish and bacon, various sauces, piled up on three floors of the warehouse building, and newly harvested rice on the lower floor. This is the most comfortable winter that Liu Bei's family has lived.

The same is true for Lousang Village.

There is enough rice and grain, and there is more firewood. Even if the road is blocked with heavy snow and the rivers and ditches are flat, there is nothing to be afraid of.

This season, the most popular sport is the chaezing rabbit.

The ground was white, and there was only a pale yellow near the cave of the cunning rabbit. Just smoke, the cunning rabbit would escape. The Cunning dog chased after him, causing bursts of laughter.

Liu Bei stood in the distance and looked into the distance, suddenly missing the female assassin who never returned.

I hope nothing happened to her.

There were many horses in the house, and my second uncle came to ask for it again.

My mother was not willing to refuse and looked at Liu Bei. Liu Bei smiled and said, "Can the second uncle return the fertile land?"

After thinking about it for a while, Uncle Er nodded.

A plowing horse was finally exchanged for the ancestral field.

Although the farming horse is worth tens of thousands of yuan, it is not as good as the dozens of acres of fertile land in Liu Bei's family. It is important to know that one acre of beautiful land costs tens of thousands of yuan. The second uncle obviously made a loss-making business. After asking the third uncle, he found out that the old patriarch had already found the second uncle and inspired him to return the ancestral land within a time limit.

There are many complaints about the second uncle in the clan.

Seeing that he became the target of public criticism, the second uncle could only bear the pain of giving up his love. Choose one between the clan and the land.

Even so, he even asked Liu Bei for a plowing horse.

Anyway, forget it.

These dozens of acres of fertile land have been converted into paddy fields, which is quite far from the Qingxi Valley. Liu Bei was short of money for his construction and was preparing to sell the land to the craftsman, and he had already paid for his wages.

Although the fertile land is beautiful, it is mixed with tribes. I bow my head but don’t look up. I simply sell it. I have no worries and will be at peace with each other in the future.

At home, you can try to build a sole.

However, after all, Liu Bei cherished the horses very much. He found a craftsman, compared the hoof prints of each horse, first outlined it with a wooden board, and then carved it into a mold with strokes. After repeated comparisons, it was confirmed that it was correct. Liu Bei found his third uncle, and started with the inferior horses and made the hoof one by one.

Nailing the horseshoe is the top priority. Liu Bei remembers that there is a white line on the horseshoe.

He lifted the horse's hooves, removed the mud and calluses with a sharp knife. Sure enough, he saw a circle of white lines of hooves. Liu Bei said that when nailing the hooves, he must nail the nails to the periphery of the white lines of hooves. Uncle San also knew that it was important and did not dare to neglect the slightest.

Following Liu Bei's instructions, he slowly knocked and finally hit the horseshoe with an inch-long hoof nail.

Grind off the protruding nail iron, and then grind the horse's hooves to make the hooves more compatible with the horse's hooves.

Liu Bei just said some tips. Uncle San can understand it by himself, because he is familiar with horses and knows the skills of iron making. Only in this way can he not hurt a horse and nail the iron to finish the iron.

Try it on the ground and the effect is remarkable.

Horseshoes, like human nails, need to grow. The nailed horseshoes are not done once and for all, and they need to be trimmed and replaced frequently. Therefore, there is a special profession called Nailing Master.

All the adult horses in the stable were nailed on horseshoes. Uncle San made perfect sense of practice, so he nailed his Wuhuan war horse to the horseshoes.

This is a horse breeding technique that Su Shuang had never seen before. He followed the side and observed it carefully, for fear of missing a critical point.

The two most important tips for nailing horseshoe: the white hoof line and the size of the hoof nail.

The shape of the hoof is similar.

The craftsmanship of horseshoe nailing will soon appear in the third uncle's blacksmith shop. Liu Bei really wants his clan brother Liu Wu, or more relatives, and even craftsmen to learn this craft and become a glorious nailing master.

As the wind and snow subsided, several wheel trucks filled with luggage were pushed into the entrance of the village.

The shed was lifted, and the car was filled with young and old.

I asked him that he came from a neighboring village and said that he wanted to move his family to Lousang Village.

The old patriarch knew this family. He had to pay too much taxes and could not afford to make ends meet. He had to sell his land and flee his family. He wanted to avoid the powerful, but heard that the marinades in Lousang Village were sold widely and he was familiar with the old patriarch of Likui, so he moved here.

The old patriarch looked at Liu Bei, and the clan members also looked at him.

Liu Bei thought for a moment and said, "I have land at home, are you willing to buy it?"

You can settle down by buying land!

The relocated household cried and knelt down to thank him.

The clan had an empty house and asked him to live temporarily. His mother sent him food, rice, oil and salt to help him settle down.

After a meal, the relocated household suddenly burst into tears. He said that his brothers had frozen to death a few days ago. The poor young son died of death in his mother's arms just one month old.

Liu Bei was shocked.

The rich family smells of wine and meat, and there are bones that are frozen to death on the road.

It's really no joke.

Seeing that Liu Bei was secretly sad, his mother comforted him, saying that my son was only eight years old and had no ability to do many things. When he grew up, he would definitely benefit the people.

Liu Bei paused his head lightly, and a light flashed in his eyes.

Even in the cold winter, the Liu clan members were not idle. The ancestral temples that were only visited during the sacrifices were now overcrowded. According to Liu Bei's requirements, the craftsmen organized the clan members into A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, and each group. The groups had their own division of labor. Group A was responsible for combing the hemp, Group B was responsible for boiling glue, Group C was responsible for dredging glue, Group D was responsible for suppressing, and also for cutting and packaging, each performing its duties. The division of labor was clear and the progress was rapid.

Whoever uses the brocade mattress says it is good.

It has spread among the famous scholars, and the northern gentry rushed to buy it. The reason is very simple. Most famous scholars are old and weak, and their bodies are already old and weak. The brocade cushion is right at the right time, which can relieve hidden worries. How can you not be happy?

Liu Bei asked Geng Yong to find several magnets. He was originally a good craftsman in the city who made Si Nan, but was bought by Geng Yong. Liu Bei ordered the craftsman to polish it into a ball and embed it into a brocade mattress. Isn’t it just a magnetic therapy mattress worth tens of thousands of yuan in later generations? How much should it be used for this time?

It is said that it has the effects of dilating blood vessels, accelerating blood flow, relieving pain, reducing swelling and other therapeutic effects.

This is given to Cui Shangshu, and maybe he can live a few more years.

efficient!

‘How to relieve worries, Lou Sang magnetic pad’, Cui Shangshu happily wrote the inscription and sent it with a lot of money.

Liu Bei refused, but Cui Jun was anxious.

Then... accept it?
