    "Thank you Taibai Jinxing." Hong Sang politely took the golden decree of the Jade Emperor from the hands of the kind-faced, spotless white-haired old immortal.

    "Since you have accepted the decree, then follow me to the heaven to meet His Majesty the Jade Emperor." It must be from heaven, because in order to make clothes for Hongsang Jianfu, even if you don't have real power, you still have to have what you should have.

    Hongsang wondered whether Tianting knew about his life experience?  She still has a grudge against her own life experience, because she has heard and heard in Tushan that being a fox should not be too great for Daji. Daji is the shame of the fox clan. As a fox demon, she must keep a distance from Daji and cannot join in the same trend.  Over time, Hong Sang felt ashamed of being close to Daji and proud of being far away from Daji. Naturally, she could not accept her true life experience. Now that she was going to meet the Jade Emperor, she didn't know if Heaven would discriminate against her.

    Since knowing her life experience, Hong Sang¡¯s character has become much more restrained.

    "Master, please leave early and come back early." Yunyao was very envious. She also wanted to go to heaven to see the fairy, and maybe she would have a chance to see Chang'e.  Yunyao is determined to see more beauties to improve her aesthetic taste and become a time traveler who escapes from low-level tastes.

    The arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so Hongsang didn't think much about it and directly followed Taishang Laojun to heaven. He didn't know how long it would take to get there.

    Yunyao raised her head and watched the master's back disappear into the sky.

    You should also calm down and prepare well. Yunyao still has more work to do during the winter.  It didn't take long for frost to start falling in the morning. The weather was getting colder and colder, and it could snow and freeze at any time.

    In winter, you have to be careful about ferocious beasts coming down the mountain to look for food because of the decrease in prey. Fortunately, there is no such worry in Mount Lu because there are no ferocious beasts in Mount Lu.

    The water in Zhuhe River is icy cold, and no one comes to cross the river. Yunyao has a lot of leisure time, and can tinker with her own fermentation and pickling thermometers.

    You can make it now. First test the temperature of boiling water, then put it in ice water and then measure zero degrees. The simple thermometer is successfully made.

    Wrapped in Daji¡¯s original second-hand bear skin, Yunyao transformed into a scientist.  Precise temperature was for mass production in the industrial age, but in the Western Zhou Dynasty it was just to reduce waste as much as possible. Waste is a shame for mankind, and the beautiful life of a feudal lord begins with thrift.

    Using a mixture of mud, resin, and broken leaves as a seal, a thermometer in the shape of a ¡®you¡¯ was made. The lower part was a small clay pot, and the reed stem emerged from the top.

    Then put the small clay pot filled with water into the half-full large clay pot and boil the water. The height of the water surface in the reed pole will be one hundred degrees.

    After marking them, Yunyao made five clay pot thermometers in one go.

    Hongsang left for a few days and didn't come back. Yunyao didn't have any classes to attend, so she could only knit straw sandals and bamboo baskets. It was cold and windy outside and there was nowhere to go. Even when she went out, she was dealing with newly cut reeds in the yard, which was too busy.  Not coming down.

    The fief was also busy. Yunyao taught them how to make compost and pour manure water. They had to do all these things.  Finish it before it snows. When it snows, everyone will hide at home for the winter.

    The north wind was biting, and the doors and windows of the thatched house were ventilated. Fortunately, Yunyao was strong and not afraid of the severe cold.

    "This day seems to be a bit colder than last year." Today, Shuzai sent a brand new bronze sacrificial vessel, which was exactly the one they had customized for the Laba Festival.

    The bronze ware is engraved with the inscription "The Zhu family respects the sky and the weather is smooth".

    Yunyao also feels that this year is indeed colder than previous years: "It doesn't matter if it's cold, after it snows there will be a good harvest next year." This is the early saying that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest.

    "Du Niang, when will the Laba Festival sacrifices be held this year? If it is early December, we have to get ready." Sacrifice is always the top priority, and it is also the most important thing for Shuzai.

    The Laba Festival sacrifice is to sacrifice eight gods in one breath, so naturally we cannot be careless and must prepare in advance. It can be said that the most important thing in Yunyao throughout the winter is to prepare for the Laba Festival sacrifice.  Even if she does nothing, she must not be rude during the Laba Festival.

    The sacrificial vessels, sacrifices, and the sacrificial platform must all be prepared in a grand manner.

    "Let's do it in mid-December." Yunyao pondered for a while and chose mid-December: "After the end of the year, choose a sunny and good weather."

    "Then I will tell everyone that everyone has been waiting for this day." Shuzai said happily: "This year's harvest is good. To thank God, we can prepare a pig and a sheep."

    Yunyao was reluctant: "You can keep the pig after you buy it, but you should kill a ram according to the rules of previous years." The pigs in the Western Zhou Dynasty are not fat and cannot be called fat pigs. They are all small black pigs, the largest of which is only two feet tall.  , which is a little stronger than a dog.

    "Don't be stingy in offering sacrifices." Uncle Zai advised Yunyao not to neglect the most important event of the year.?'s Laba Festival sacrifice: "We can only have a good harvest because of God's blessing."

    Feudal superstition. Yunyao is an atheist. She only thinks of gods when she needs help. When she has nothing to do, gods are all superstitious. Especially when she is asked to kill pigs and sheep for sacrifice, in her eyes, these sacrifices are all feudal.  dross.

    But in the eyes of people like Shuzai from the Western Zhou Dynasty, this is all serious business, but it is an opportunity to bribe God. Only when God is happy can the weather be smooth and the harvest will be good.  Therefore, they have to live frugally to please God. If God is not happy, they will starve to death. Which is more important can be seen at a glance. God's happiness is the most important.

    "One sheep will definitely be enough. Next year when our family is richer, we will sacrifice a sheep and a pig next year. We have prepared bronze sacrificial vessels this year, and I think God will not blame us." Yunyao used  The Dafa of 'Next time will definitely' successfully persuaded Shuzai.

    Since next year is certain, Shuzai won¡¯t make any more demands.

    "I will buy sheep tomorrow." Shuzai said.

    "Buy another pair of pigs and see if we can raise piglets." It is definitely not possible to sacrifice them, but it is possible to buy them and raise them yourself.

    Uncle Zai was a little embarrassed: "We don't have pig people in our fief, so we don't know how to raise pigs."

    Yunyao thought to herself who she was looking down on, wasn¡¯t it the postpartum care of sows?  She knows how to eat. As a fat person who can eat well, she knows a lot about the cultivation of various ingredients.  After all, the meat quality of domestic pigs and farm pigs must be separated, so I have read some knowledge.  Although she has never practiced it, Yunyao feels that she can do it: "Don't worry, I can do it."

    Uncle Zai was overjoyed: "Du Niang can actually be a pig-man. I wonder if she can be a sheep-man? If so, we can also raise sheep."

    Now they have only dog ??people, chickens, dogs, horses and oxen in their fief. If they have sheep and pigs, then they have all six livestock, which is a symbol of wealth.

    ¡°I can also raise sheep, but I¡¯ll raise pigs first next year, little by little.¡± Yunyao is afraid that there will be too many livestock at once, and the feed consumption will be too high, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

    "Yes, yes, don't be in a hurry, you should come little by little." Shuzai went to prepare: "I will divine when I get back to see which day is the best time to go out, and I will go to the capital with the Che Man and the Dog Man to buy pigs and sheep.  "
