The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

At noon, when the weather was hot, Li Fu ate in the shade of the big tree in the courtyard of the study, eating and drinking the hard-to-swallow herbal tea.

After all, he was a pure northerner and couldn't get used to it. I don't know how this thing became popular in Guangzhou, or is it the fat otaku's happy water there?

Where is the happiness?

What do you do? After finishing the work, you will feel "hot".

Then everyone has a cup of herbal tea.

Three consecutive Guangdong mothers.

Are you getting angry again?

Not bitter, not bitter, come and drink herbal tea, you poor boy.

If you don't dare to drink herbal tea, where can your mother put her face?

It's hard to say about this thing. It has something to do with the local climate. The north has entered the dog days of summer, and the outdoor heat is unbearable.

The south is hot and humid, and it will last for a long time.

That big bowl of herbal tea, Li Fu couldn't drink it after a few sips.

"Xiao Tao, make me some iced milk tea." Li Fu said, "My mouth is bitter."

"Okay, I'll have someone bring it to me right away." Xiao Tao said, "But my dear, you have to finish the herbal tea. The doctor said that drinking this herbal tea in summer will make you sweat and remove moisture."

Li Fu wiped the sweat off his face.

The skin is dehydrated and the body is damp. What is this? A moist mummy?

"It's soup to reduce heat, winter melon and lotus leaf soup." Li Fu said, "Do you want to consider whether your dear can drink this?"

"My dear, it's for your health." Xiao Tao said seriously, with a serious expression.

"Okay, okay, go and make me some milk tea."

If you know Xiao Tao, she is his personal maid. If you don't know, you might think she is his biological mother.

The tone is pretty much the same.

Li Fu just ate a meal, and his back was sweating, and this was under the tree.

The autumn heat is really strong.

After finishing the meal with great difficulty, Li Fu drank two sips of iced drinks and felt a little alive.

"I have to take a bath." Li Fu stood up.

In this weather, there is no need to boil water for bathing. The water in the big vat in the yard can be directly used in the bathroom with a wooden bucket.

After taking a bath, he changed into a loose thin shirt, rolled up his sleeves and hung them on his shoulders.

After leaving the bathroom, Xiao Tao was waiting outside. Seeing Li Fu's arms exposed, she quickly handed him a loop (arm rope) to fix his sleeves.

Li Fu looked at the rope hanging on his body to fix his sleeves.

Good guy, a good guy.

Xiao Benzi learned a lot from the Tang Dynasty.

The rope for tying the sleeves of kimono is exactly the same.

And this thing has existed in the Central Plains since the Han Dynasty.

"My dear, do you want to take a nap?"

"Lie down on the recliner in the corridor for a while."

Even if you don't do anything, lying on the recliner with your eyes closed for a while is a way to relax, otherwise you will be really tired in the afternoon.

The hot and humid weather makes people lose interest in moving.

In the corridor at the door of the study, Xiao Tao lowered the bamboo curtains between the pillars in the corridor a little to block more sunlight, but it did not affect the ventilation in the corridor.

The corridor is the coolest at this time. From time to time, there is a breeze blowing, and you can hear the leaves on the trees rustling.

It's a whole way to get close to nature.

Li Fu lay on the recliner, swaying, and Xiao Tao fanned him with a fan.

Soon, Li Fu's eyelids became heavy and he fell asleep slowly.

Seeing this, Xiao Tao also stopped what she was doing, put away the fan, and went to find a place to take a nap.

Li Fu had slept for less than half an hour when Xiao Tao woke him up.

If you sleep too much at noon, you will feel dizzy in the afternoon and still can't fall asleep at night.

So you should control the time of rest at noon. You can't sleep as long as you want. If you sleep too long, you will feel more uncomfortable. It's better not to sleep at all. After waking up, everything is wrong.

Listening to the cicadas chirping in the distance outside the yard, Li Fu was also in a trance after just waking up.

"My dear, have some tea." Xiao Tao came over with a teacup.

Li Fu was thirsty when he woke up, so he took the cup and drank for a long time.

"Where's Lao Zhao?" Li Fu asked.

"I contacted the people in the workshop this morning and said they were looking for craftsmen." Xiao Tao said.

Li Fu nodded slightly.

I was looking for a craftsman who is proficient in seal carving.

"My dear, are we going to buy anything new for our family?" Xiao Tao asked, "I saw Uncle Zhao had the front yard cleaned up and no one was allowed to enter casually."

"Is it all cleaned up and arranged?" Li Fu asked.

Xiao Tao shook her head, "I don't know about the other one, but the yard of the study room that you used to receive outsiders has been cleaned up."

Li Fu smiled, "It has nothing to do with that."

"By the way, ZhaoUncle said that the workshop has sent a large batch of paper, and also sent you a few pieces of high-quality paper. I will ask the maid to take it and send it to your study this afternoon. "Xiao Tao said.

"Okay, it seems that everything is almost ready." Li Fu smiled and said, "Let someone move the books I selected in the study this afternoon."

"My dear, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, let the accountant in the mansion find a place to copy the books." Li Fu said, "Don't I have a lot of books in my study? I selected them and asked them to copy them first. There are also books in Da'an Palace and the collection of the emperor, which will be sent here one after another, and they will also be copied. This time, we will use our new paper to copy them, and bind them into books after copying."

"In the future, if you want to read the books at home, you don't have to hold the bamboo slips." Li Fu said, "Also, the academy in Zhuangzi is also short of books, and the library is just in name. "

Xiao Tao suddenly realized that Uncle Zhao was busy with this matter.

No wonder he had to find a craftsman, so that he could copy more books and put them in the academy on the farm.

In the afternoon, Lao Zhao came back from outside and asked Xiao Tao to take the paper to the study first.

Only Lao Zhao and Li Fu were left in the study.

"My dear." Lao Zhao bowed his hands and said, "You have asked your subordinates to find a craftsman who is proficient in seal carving. He has been found and is now placed in the workshop."

"Well, let Shitou take a few guards from home and lead them to the farm." Li Fu said, "After you get there, stay there first. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will go back to the farm and make other arrangements."

"Yes." Lao Zhao responded.

"By the way, there is another workshop to be built on the farm. "Li Fu said, he took out the map of the workshop area on the farm: "Let's build a workshop here, recruit people now or transfer craftsmen from the new house, let Yan Lide make the decision."

"Yes." Old Zhao lowered his head and responded: "Sir, does the workshop need the carpenter workshop in Chang'an City to do anything?"

Li Fu shook his head.

"Not for the time being, let's build the workshop first." Li Fu said.
