Chapter 404: The Cradle Divergent Crossing the River (Fifth Update)
On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival arrives.
Each family makes zongzi, and runs out to buy zongzi without fire on weekdays.
There are many people in Chang'an City who don't cook, but just buy food outside.
There are a small number of people who don't cook because they are lazy, and many more people belong to the kind that don't have a kitchen.
Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, just like the capital of Li Yi at that time, rent a house and live with several people.
The kitchen was converted into a bedroom, which can squeeze one by one, and charge more money than renting out the whole.
For tenants who can't afford to live in a house, it's cheaper to be crowded with people.
Of course, Datang has no way to make money by letting people live in basements, but there are cellars, but no one lives.
The Li family Zhuangzi is also making zongzi, and one person generally eats one when they are wrapped, and they taste the taste.
On weekdays, they eat too well and don't like to eat other holiday things.
However, Zhuangzi wrapped a lot of zongzi, and he wanted to give them to the group of people who were still building houses.
Zhangjia Village offered to give those people 5,000 zongzi, and the ones with jujubes.
As for wrapping meat in zongzi, it is not popular at the moment.
The rice dumplings are wrapped with meat, and they taste like pork bibimbap.
"Today, those pools are lively, there are dragon boats, and there are dance scenes on the water." The queen pushes the baby out to bask in the sun.
The main thing is that she is dry, the baby is in the car, there is a curtain to cover it, and the palace maid fans the wind through gauze.
The little one was lying there still with his eyes open, looking at a puppet hanging on it, and the puppet would move gently when the wind passed.
The child's eyesight is not good, he is sensitive to light, and he sees things that move blurrily, but he is willing to work hard to make his eyes move with him.
"The Dragon Boat Festival is good." Li Yi sat there writing and drawing, drew a few more strokes, and put a small book next to him.
"That's right, the two I wrote before are too fake to be true. But I guess any one of them will do, but this thing has to be improved. ”
Li Yi is satisfied with his work, the only thing he doesn't know is whether it can be used.
Song De walked over: "Proprietor, the street sign has been made, now nail it down?" ”
"Nail, hang the lantern too, the Dragon Boat Festival is lively, people come and go, and there are so many water sports.
Some people have watched other people's water plays during the day, and at night they take advantage of the hot weather to go into the water to play.
Anyway, there are heel balls, and adults and children can rest assured. The key is that today is not the fifteenth, the moon is not bright enough, just such a small girl. ”
Li Yi was talking about the festival, but Queen Wang was listening to it, but she always felt that something was wrong.
At the end of the day, Li Longji, who watched the dragon boat together, got off work and stopped playing.
His mind was all on the son in Zhuangzi, if it wasn't too young, he would have wanted to hug it and watch it together.
There was no queen there, and he didn't call the concubines to his side.
I'm afraid that after I get around, I will go to the palace to stay in the palace for a while when I get off work today.
When he arrived at Zhuangzi, it was still bright, and Li Yi didn't copy the book today, so he stayed outside in the shade to watch the kites in the sky.
Li Longji went to see his son first, but the child was asleep, and he didn't catch up when he was crying.
"Brother Yi, have you noticed, my son doesn't like to cry, he cries twice occasionally, and he will get better soon."
Li Longji sat next to Li Yi and picked up the teapot on the table to pour tea for the tea bowl.
"Why cry if there is no reason to cry? The newborns in Zhuangzi don't cry much.
Generally, when you are hungry, your own convenience is over, you feel uncomfortable, you want to cry, you have to eat, you have changed your diaper, and you don't cry.
In addition, the light is not suitable, and the child can't sleep and cry when he sleeps.
When there is no light, it is night, and the magnetic field of the body changes, and it is uncomfortable and crying.
You don't talk to him when you need to be lively, crying; When you need to be quiet, you cry a lot. ”
Li Yi continued to talk about the reason why the baby cried, and when he heard the child crying, he considered it from several aspects and made changes, and the child was fine.
Either you're sick and check it out.
"Sometimes the child cries, the adult holds and shakes, and the child falls asleep." Li Longji also expressed his own opinion.
"Holding the ...... Oops, how did I forget the good things.
Someone comes and tells the craftsman to make a basket in which the baby can be put and the top can be hung up.
If you can sway from side to side, you should put a soft cushion underneath.
The baby can be put in and shake gently, without being shaken there, and it is hot to hold in the summer.
But it must be a child after three months, too young to be fine. ”
Li Yi suddenly remembered a good thing, the cradle.
Ziyu ran away and went to the craftsman.
"Is it something to put a child to sleep?" Li Longji guessed.
"Yes, medically speaking, the place called the vestibular nerve that can stimulate young children is said to help children grow."
Li Yi had a cradle when he was a child, and others said that the cradle was not good, but he felt that he could do it, and there was nothing wrong.
"Do you have to hang it?" Li Longji thought for a moment, like shaking a briquette.
"A stroller will do, or simply make a wooden shelf with a shaft.
Tomorrow I will make a batch, and I can pass it out.
But it must be made clear that you can't shake it hard, you have to shake it gently from side to side, and the month is too small. ”
Li Yi said other ways, the kind of hanging that any random person would make a basket by himself, tie it to a rope and shake it.
"Okay, let's take a look, in fact, adults are comfortable to rock in the rocking chair you made."
Li Longji decided to look at the real thing, and then observe the child's reaction, 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 to the kite, as well as gunpowder and fierce fire oil, when the wind is good......
He was talking about the method used by later dynasties, which was specially designed to burn the enemy's grain and grass, and put a large group of them together.
"Brother Yi, what's the difference between this and Kong Ming lantern, no. Kites are good enough to spread the word in and out of the city. ”
Li Longji is still worried about being learned, and the simpler it is, the more he doesn't want to use it.
Gunpowder has been available for a long time, but it is not as good as Li Yi's manufacturing, but with a plate of incense and a fierce fire oil, it can still be done.
At dinner, the cradle was applied, and the children of more than three months on the Zhuangzi were put in, and those who were more than six months old were generally shaken for a quarter of an hour.
The evaluation of the effect obtained is very good, and it is really suitable for the baby to sleep.
Even if you don't need to sleep, the child is happy to be in it.
Queen Wang listened and envied, other people's children can be put in and shaken, but hers has to wait.
"Third brother, there is something to say, about the situation of the defense personnel, it 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 listening to this, Li Longji bowed his head: "Okay, arrange it for my brother." ”
The moon on the fifth day of the first month is just that, and it has moved to the west at this moment, and it will set before midnight.
In the blink of an eye in the sky, there is no curfew in Chang'an City, and the liveliness of the day continues.
By the Bashui River, a group of people who ran there in the evening to swim and never left were sorting out their packages.
There were other people playing nearby, and after dark, they were gone.
One of these people whispered a few words, and with a wave of his hand, a total of six people slid into the water with the package in their arms, biting the reed pipe in their mouths, and quickly disappeared into the water.
