Tong Anlu followed Lian's father and entered the yard of the first family with his team's soldiers. Bendu's bookmaker Gan Tonghai and the team were walking in the front, entering the yard gate, pointing to a shed to the east and said, "There is a place for cooking. There is a stove, a stove, a water tank, etc. All the utensils that can be prepared are already prepared. The rest you are used to, go to the market to buy them."

After saying that, he brought a few people into the main hall. The furnishings here were very simple, with only one table and two stools, all made of bamboo and wood, which was very simple. When he arrived at the bedroom next to him, he saw that there was no bed inside, only two trays of earthen kangs.

After seeing the furnishings, the soldier smiled and said, "There is no bed in the place where he sleeps, it's not a mess!"

Gan Tonghai patted the earthen kang and said, "It's cold in winter. With this kang, you can burn the fire. I don't know how warm it is. There is a stove outside. When the weather is cold, you can buy your own charcoal and burn it to keep warm."

Seeing this pattern, several soldiers started to make noise: "We Han people come to bed, where have we ever slept in this kind of thing! Only the Hu people in the north have this custom! This house is good, but the place where we sleep is inappropriate!"

Gan Tonghai said: "You don't want to sleep. You will demolish the earthen kang in a few days and go buy a bed by yourself. I tell you that the Iron Supervisor does not allow wood and charcoal to be cut nearby. If you don't sleep with this kind of earthen kang for heating, it will be difficult for you to get caught in winter!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room and said, "I have to check in other teams. You can allocate the houses yourself. The team is recording the stores clearly and finally report to me. There are some basic living furniture here, and you can buy the others in the future."

After saying that, he hurriedly left. He was in charge of many teams in the city and could not delay too much in one place.

Gan Tonghai left, and several soldiers were walking around the room and the yard, talking about the things inside.

The team said: "The layout of the houses here is average, and there is nothing to be picky about. Everyone discusses who wants to be close to whom, please divide the house. Divide the houses, and have families bring them over and then clean up slowly."

Tong Anlu said to Lian's father: "Dad, let me live next to you. I am alone and have no one to clean up the house. I live together and have some care. I can help with my father's house if I have any work."

Lian's father nodded repeatedly, but just agreed. The two discussed with the rest of the people, and went to the other end of the small ring and chose two closest rooms as their residences. Lian's father lived in the first room, and Tong Anlu lived next door.

After a while when I got to the room, my father went to find his family, leaving Tong Anlu alone wandering around his yard.

When he was twenty years old, this was the first time Tong Anlu had his own residence, and everything looked novel. When he used to be tying, he lived in other people's wing rooms, and there was almost nothing else in furniture except a bedding.

When I arrived at the cooking place, I saw a large stove with a large pot on it, which was obviously newly cast and iron filings inside. Tong Anlu stood in front of the stove, stretched out his hand and fisting around for a while, imagining how he cooked. Unfortunately, after standing for a while, he couldn't remember how the food was made, so he could only shake his head. What's the use of this thing? He doesn't know how to cook. What should I do in the future? I can't have dinner at my father's house?

There was a small stove next to it, and a small wok was also placed on it, which was also newly cast. Tong Anlu didn't know how to use this thing. He picked it up and looked carefully for a while, shook his head and put it down. Next to it was a large water tank, which was filled with water, and a gourd water scoop was hung next to it. Tong Anlu picked up the water scoop, scooped a scoop of water, and took a sip.

After leaving the kitchen and seeing that there was nothing else in the small yard, Tong Anlu carried his bedding into the bedroom. There was only a plate of earthen kang here, and fortunately, he was able to sit on it with a mat. He placed the bedding on the kang, Tong Anlu sat down, looked at the small window on the north wall, and sat blankly in a daze. When he was dreaming in the past, he didn't dare to think that he would have such a home. Today, all this suddenly hit him, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. What kind of life would be like in the future? Tong Anlu couldn't imagine that he didn't know what a man with a home would look like.

In the hall near the yamen, Du Zhongxiao, Su Song and others walked in with officers above the head of the wing army.

There was a large table inside, filled with vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and meat. There were also a few bottles of wine and a few wine pots on the table.

Let everyone sit down, Du Zhongxiao said, "Teach you all have come from afar. The Iron Supervisor has prepared a banquet to welcome you. In the future, you don't have to be as restricted as in the army. Today I will be drunk and do things according to the instructions in the yamen tomorrow."

When everyone saw the banquet was rich, they all agreed.

In this era, except for a few friends drinking in restaurants, most of the banquets were made of separate meals. No matter how rich it was, there were not many dishes. The large amount of noodles was filled with soup cakes and fruits. In fact, stir-frying dishes were not popular yet, and they were not as popular as that.

A large round table like this was filled with vegetables, which no one had ever experienced. From the time of Dai Dujian, the generals didn't know how to eat the banquet, and they looked at Du Zhongxiao together.

Du Zhongxiao ordered the young soldiers standing there to fill everyone with wine, saying, "The iron supervisor has made all things, and it is not easy to do. Today, there are only chickens, ducks, fish, meat, fresh vegetables, and nothing valuable. The same is true for eating in the iron supervisor in the future, and it is mainly affordable. Don't make those flashy delicacies. Come on, let's drink a drink!"

After saying that, he took the lead in drinking the full wine.

Dai Dujian and the generals drank wine with Du Zhongxiao and put down the cup. They didn't know what to do, so they looked at Du Zhongxiao again.

Du Zhongxiao picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat in the fish in front of him, and said to everyone: "Don't be polite, eat whatever you want."

After hearing this, the generals still didn't know what to do, and looked at Dai Dujian again. Dai Dujian had never attended such a banquet, so how could they know where to start? Seeing Du Zhongxiao eating fish on his own, he had to look at Su Song on the other side.

In the past two months, the officials of the Iron Supervisor were carefully prepared, and Su Song and Du Zhongxiao often ate like this. They did not realize that the generals present were not used to it. They just picked up chopsticks, picked up a plate of meat slices in front of them and started eating it.

Dai Dujian saw it and understood it. When he saw that there was a plate of duck in front of him, he cut it into large pieces, then he picked it up and put it in his mouth. The duck was roasted, with a special fragrance, crispy skin, and very delicious.

When the generals saw this, they all guessed that the banquet might be filled with the dishes in front of them and started eating them one after another. Some people’s dishes in front of them were not in line with their taste, and they couldn’t help but complain. Why didn’t they ask before the banquet and what they like to eat? I don’t know if they would change the dishes in front of each person and taste other dishes after a while. But in that case, it would become a bitch of other people’s leftovers, and I couldn’t help feeling awkward.

After eating two bites of food and drinking another glass of wine, Du Zhongxiao reached out and turned the table, and the dishes in front of each person changed. Everyone was stunned. Unexpectedly, the table was so magical that it could be transferred.

Du Zhongxiao did not pay attention to everyone's expressions, and picked up a newly turned roast duck and said, "The rain in this area is Fengfeng, the rivers and swamps are numerous, and there are many wild ducks. The iron supervisor wants to open a site to build a farm, so he has really hunted a lot of this. If the duck meat is fried and cooked, it will inevitably smell like earthy. Later, I thought of this method, made a stove, and hung it to roast, which is crispy and delicious. This product cannot be delicious if it is cool, so you will pick up a piece of it."

As he said that, he slowly turned the table and the roast duck came to Su Song. Su Song also grabbed a piece and naturally turned it back.

The generals looked at it blankly, but they didn't expect that the dish was eaten like this. Du Zhongxiao said he wanted to eat roast duck, but those who were not in front of him were all holding chopsticks obediently, not daring to pick up other dishes. When he arrived in front of him, he would pick up a piece and quickly turn on.

It was not until a few glasses of wine were eaten and the generals slowly ignored the rules they had never seen before and just picked the dishes they liked to eat.

Such a banquet is not necessarily better than the original form. Du Zhongxiao did this just to distinguish it from other places. If everything goes well, the Iron Supervision will be the first industrial zone in the true sense of the Song Dynasty. Industry and agriculture are very different, and workers and farmers should also have different styles and living habits. From food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is best to be different from common practices in society. When it develops, the people working here will have different lives and different styles, and use industrial civilization to guide social changes. Such a special place will be much easier no matter what reform is carried out. And a wealthy civilization will naturally imitate other people in society.

Naturally, when Du Zhongxiao planned the Iron Supervision Bureau, he came from production and management to living and life, intentionally or unintentionally according to the appearance of later generations. Without a template, how could he create a set of living habits out of thin air?

This is true for wine banquets, and the same is true for soldiers’ residences. Every family has a living room, bedroom and yard, but there are no common living facilities at this time. For example, there is no toilet at home and public toilets outside, which is conducive to the centralized treatment of domestic waste. No livestock or poultry is allowed in residential areas, and there are special people to collect garbage. There are no small pits and puddles in the entire residential area. Do your best to build roads so as not to be muddy.

The winter in this area is not cold, and there is actually no need to build a earthen kang, and no one is used to sleeping in a earthen kang. However, the biggest problem is that it may be poisoned and open flames cannot be used indoors, so I thought of that method. If I have the ability to build a heating system, Du Zhongxiao still wants to build the heating, so I can use a bed.
