Chapter 404 Cradle Bashui People Cross the River
On the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival arrives.
Every household makes rice dumplings, and those who don’t open fire on weekdays run out to buy rice dumplings.
There are many people in Chang'an who don't cook, but just buy food outside.
There are a small number of people who are lazy if they don’t cook, and there are more people who don’t have a kitchen.
Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Just like Li Yi's capital at that time, several people lived in a rented house.
The kitchen has been converted into a bedroom, one can be squeezed into each other, and the money charged is more than renting out the whole place.
For tenants who cannot afford to live in a house, it is cheaper to live in a crowded place with others.
Of course, in the Tang Dynasty, there was no way to make money by letting people live in basements. There were cellars, but no one lived in them.
Lijiazhuangzi is also making rice dumplings. After making them, each person usually just eats one to taste the taste.
They eat too well on weekdays and don't like to eat other festival foods.
However, Zhuangzi made a lot of rice dumplings to give to the people from outside who were still building houses.
Zhangjia Village offered to give those people five thousand rice dumplings, including jujubes.
As for wrapping meat in rice dumplings, it is not popular yet.
Zongzi is filled with meat and tastes like pork rice.
"The pools are very lively today, with dragon boats and water dances." Queen Wang pushed the baby out to bask in the sun.
Mainly she was basking in the sun, the baby was in the car, there was a curtain to cover it, and the palace maid fanned her through the gauze.
The little guy lay there with his eyes open and looked at a puppet hanging above. When the wind blew, the puppet would move slightly.
The child has poor eyesight and is sensitive to light. He sees moving things blurry, but he is willing to work hard to make his eyes move.
"Happy Dragon Boat Festival." Li Yi sat there and wrote and drew a few more strokes, placing a small notebook next to him.
"That's right. The two I wrote before are too fake to be true. But I guess any one will do, but we have to keep improving."
Li Yi is satisfied with his work. The only thing he doesn't know is whether it can be used.
Song De came over and said, "Proprietor, the road sign has been made. Do you want to nail it down now?"
"Nail, hang up the lanterns too. The Dragon Boat Festival is lively, with people coming and going, and there are so many water sports.
Some people watched other people's water play during the day, and took advantage of the hot weather to play in the water at night.
Anyway, there are followers, so adults and children can rest assured. The key is that today is not the 15th, the moon is not bright enough, it is just a little girl. "
Li Yi was talking about the festival, and Queen Wang was listening but always felt that something was wrong.
At the end of the day, Li Longji, who had been watching dragon boats together, got off work and stopped playing.
His mind was entirely focused on his son in Zhuangzi. If it weren't for being too young, he would have wanted to hug him and watch him together.
There was no queen around, and he didn't call the concubines around.
I'm afraid that after I get there, I'll have to stay in the palace for a while after get off work today.
It was still bright when we arrived at Zhuangzi. Li Yi didn't copy any books today, so he just stayed outside in the shade and watched the kites in the sky.
Li Longji went to see his son first. The child was asleep and he didn't catch up when he started crying.
"Brother Yi, have you noticed that my son doesn't like to cry. If he cries once in a while, he will be fine soon."
Li Longji sat next to Li Yi, picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea into the tea bowl.
"Why cry when there is no reason to cry? The newborns on Zhuangzi don't cry much.
Usually when I'm hungry, I've finished my own convenience, I feel uncomfortable, and I have to cry for a while. After I feed my baby some milk and change my diaper, I stop crying.
In addition, the light is not suitable. When the child is sleeping, the light cannot sleep and he cries.
When there is no light, it is night again, and the magnetic field of the body changes, making me feel uncomfortable and cry.
If you don't talk to him when he needs to be lively, he will cry; if he makes too much noise when he needs to be quiet, he will cry. "
Li Yi continued to talk about the reasons why the baby was crying. When he heard the baby cry, he considered several aspects and made changes, and the baby would be fine.
Either you are sick, please get checked out quickly.
"Sometimes when a child cries and an adult holds it and rocks it, the child falls asleep." Li Longji also expressed his opinion.
"Hold Akira... Oops, why did I forget the good stuff.
Someone come and tell the craftsman to make a basket that can put the baby in and hang it from the top.
If you want one that can rock from side to side, put a soft mat underneath it.
The baby can be put in and rocked gently without anyone shaking it, and it will be hot to hold in the summer.
But it must be a child who is three months or older, as it is too young. "
Li Yi suddenly remembered a good thing, the cradle.
Ziyu ran away to find the craftsman.
"Is it something to put children to sleep?" Li Longji guessed.
"Yes, medically speaking, it can stimulate the area called the vestibular nerve in young children, and it is said to help children grow."
Li Yi had a cradle when he was a child. Others said the cradle was not good, but he thought he could do it and there was no problem.
"Does it have to be hung?" Li Longji thought for a moment, like shaking briquettes.
“A pram would work too, or just make a wooden stand with a spindle.
A batch will be made tomorrow and can be passed around.
But it must be made clear that it cannot be shaken hard, but gently shaken from side to side. The month is not allowed if it is too small. "
Li Yi said another way, the kind of hanging that anyone could make a basket by themselves, tie it with a rope and start swinging it.
"Okay, let's try it out and see. In fact, the rocking chair you made is comfortable for adults to rock."
Li Longji decided to take a look at the actual product, observe the children's reactions, and consider whether to promote it.
Li Yi raised his head and continued to look at the kite, and after a while he said: "Add incense, gunpowder and fire oil to the kite. When the wind direction is good..."
What he was talking about was the method used by subsequent dynasties, which was to release a large group of enemies specifically to burn the enemy's food and grass.
"Brother Yi, what's the difference between this and the Kongming Lantern? No. Kites are good for sending news inside and outside the city."
Li Longji is still worried about being copied by others. The simpler it is, the less he wants to use it.
Gunpowder has been available for a long time, but it is not as good as what Li Yi made, but it can still be done by adding incense and lighting a strong fire oil.
At dinner time, the cradle was put into use. Children who were more than three months old were placed in it. Children who were over six months old were left in the cradle. Generally, they were rocked for a quarter of an hour.
The effect evaluation obtained is very good, and it is indeed suitable for babies to sleep.
Even if you don't need to sleep, your child is very happy hanging around in it.
Queen Wang was envious after hearing this, UU reading www. uukanshu.net Other people's children can be put in and rocked, but hers has to wait.
"Third brother, I have something to say. Regarding the situation of defense personnel, they may or may not be used. Let's prepare first..."
Li Yi told Li Longji about the situation when he was about to finish eating.
After hearing this, Li Longji nodded: "Okay, let's make some arrangements for my brother."
The moon on the fifth day of the lunar month has moved to the west now and will set before midnight.
In the blink of an eye, there was no curfew in Chang'an City, and the bustle during the day continued.
By the Bashui River, a group of people who had gone there for a swim in the evening and never left were packing their packages.
There were other people playing nearby before, but after dark those people left.
One of these people whispered a few words, waved his hand, and a total of six people slid into the water holding the packages, biting the reed pipes in their mouths, and quickly disappeared on the water.
