Chapter 402: The Old Taoist Temple in the Tang Dynasty Xiao Kun Dao 10
Jiang Yue did what she said. The next day, she started looking for suitable wood. She spent several days looking for the right wood, then went to Beijing and bought some paint and carpentry tools. This time, she planned to do all the processes herself.
After buying the things, she processed the wood and dragged it back with great effort. The trees that had just been cut could not be used. They had to be dried in the shade for a few years, but Jiang Yue didn't have that much time. She just threw them into the wizard tower for processing. She didn't rest while processing the trees. She leveled the ground from the Taoist temple to the pavilion.
Previously, the floor of the Taoist temple was paved with stones, which Jiang Yue could not do by herself, so she planned to lay wooden pallets, which were convenient and easy to walk on once they were fixed. The construction was not fast because there were other things to do. The autumn harvest season came just as the road was paved, and the compacted ground could be used to dry the grain.
After the autumn harvest, Jiang Yue collected herbs for a period of time. After the herbs were processed, she devoted herself to the project of building the pavilion. She got up early every day and busied herself between carpentry work and road paving.
Jiang Yue carefully carved the processed wood into various shapes to build the frame structure of the pavilion, and then painted the wood with bright and simple colors, making the entire frame look beautiful and durable.
When paving the wooden pallet road, she cleverly designed a unique pattern, which is not only convenient for walking, but also has strong anti-slip performance in rainy days, and adds a unique beauty. As time went by, the pavilion gradually took shape. After several months of hard work, the construction of the pavilion was completed. Standing under the brand new pavilion and looking at the winding wooden pallet path, Jiang Yue's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
It's a pity that it can't be used in winter. The pavilion is located on the edge of a cliff. There is no shelter here, and the cold wind blows on the face. It was not built for use in winter. It's a pity that it can't be used ...
In winter, Jiang Yue became busy. The number of people who got sick increased significantly in this season. Another obvious thing was that Jiang Yue earned more money than before. It was not that Jiang Yue raised the price of medical treatment, but that everyone's life became much better after the protagonist came. They could make money by raising pigs, chickens, growing vegetables in greenhouses, etc.
After everyone became rich, although Jiang Yue's medical treatment did not increase in price, everyone gave her more money when paying for the medicine. They knew that Jiang Yue did not make money, and even lost money every year, and now that they had the ability, they did not want to let her suffer losses all the time.
A small market has been formed near the manor where the protagonist lives. In the past, Jiang Yue had to go to the capital to buy something, but now most things can be bought in this market. However, if you want to buy books or something, you still have to go to the capital to buy them. The size of this place is not enough to open a bookstore. After all, there are still very few people who can read and write.
Whenever Jiang Yue goes to different villages now, all the gossip he hears is related to the protagonist. However, everyone is really grateful. Normal people would not be ungrateful. Look at the farmers nowadays. They can basically eat meat once a month.
Although the protagonist did not announce free schooling, private schools were opened one after another. Although it apparently cost money, the money earned every month was enough to send the children to school and save some money for the future.
Moreover, the protagonist has only been here for a year. Which farmer family now does not hope that the protagonist will get better and better? Jiang Yue believes that in a few years, it is not impossible for every household to set up a longevity tablet for the protagonist.
Jiang Yue was happy to see this situation. In previous years, he would send some food to poor families during the winter. This year, he probably couldn't send any. Everyone should have enough food. He also planted more land this year. Next time the protagonist's grandmother opened the porridge stall, he would send the food in the temple over. There was no point in piling up this food in the warehouse. Its fate was to be spent and eaten.
After closing the door of the room, he petted the cat. This winter is colder than last year. Sanhua is unwilling to go out to play. Jiang Yue saw that it was going to snow. After putting the cat down, he went out to check, put away the things in the yard and brought them into the house, and took some dried fruits as snacks to pass the time.
After the evening class in the afternoon, it started snowing. I cooked some porridge while eating. I didn’t want to make trouble on a snowy day, so a bowl of hot porridge, a small dish of pickles and a boiled egg were all I needed. After eating the rice, a lot of snow fell. After washing the dishes, Jiang Yue ran back to the house to read.
The snow was still falling the next day, but it did not affect Jiang Yue. She was still doing what she was supposed to do. She did not finish the porridge yesterday, so she did not have to cook breakfast this morning.
We swept the snow after dinner. It was harder to sweep when there was too much snow, so the snow piled up at the base of the ginkgo tree in the yard. This thing will be beautiful only when it grows up. It’s still small and you can’t see it now. I hope it doesn’t die halfway.
It was still snowing at noon, so we had a hotpot while eating. The vegetarian hotpot with juice was also very delicious. The clear soup base could be used to feed the cat, so we saved some cat food. After the hotpot, we had a fruit salad. I wouldn’t trade this life for anything.
After dinner, I took a nap. The weather was too cold and I didn’t want to move. At night, I set up the warm stones. The heat from the firewood was enough to make me unable to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, the snow had not stopped yet. The same thing happened last year. It snowed for several days and even collapsed Ergouzi's house. I guess this kind of thing will happen again this year. Although it probably won't happen in this area, it will happen in other places.
After finishing the morning class and cooking porridge, he swept the yard and went to check on the chickens laying eggs. Jiang Yue built a chicken coop this year, so the chickens probably wouldn't freeze to death. After that, he checked the Taoist temple. Although it was newly built, it made him feel more at ease after checking it.
After finishing her work, Jiang Yue went back to the house to read scriptures. It was a gloomy and snowy day and visibility was poor, so Jiang Yue hung up the lamp in case someone went up the mountain and would not lose their way. She hoped that her worry was in vain.
The good news is that Jiang Yue's worries were in vain. She went to bed much later tonight, and only went to bed peacefully after making sure that no one was coming. The snow still did not stop on the third day, but it was much lighter than the previous two days. After cleaning the snow in the yard, Jiang Yue swept the outside of the Taoist temple. For safety reasons, she let the puppet transform into her appearance and cleared the way up the mountain.
After the puppet came back, Jiang Yue took her back to the space. After checking the puppet's memory, she found no one. This was good and she didn't have to think of making excuses. Before closing the door, she looked at Sanhua who was wandering at the door and asked, "Do you want to go out and freeze to death, or stay at home obediently?"
"Meow meow meow." After meowing a few times, it rubbed Jiang Yue's legs and ran back into the house. Jiang Yue smiled and closed the door. It was not suitable to go out today because it was snowing, so she made a few pairs of shoes to wear.
