"How much more is this thing?" Li Hui was in a good mood after a tomato was eaten, "Let people take the rest to the kitchen for me, and I'm going to cook it myself today~!"

So in the evening of the same day, Li Shuo ate a tomato feast, tomatoes mixed with sugar, stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, tomato meat sauce noodles, tomato scrambled eggs······ ！

"This thing tastes very good, and it can be matched with a lot of ingredients~!I just don't know if it's easy to plant, wait a minute, let people get some seeds, and we'll plant some ourselves!" Li Shuo could see that Li Hui was very interested in this thing, and it tasted really good, so it was still very good to get a little back and grow it yourself, and by the way, you can also enrich the types of ingredients.

"Hmm~!" Li Hui nodded a little absentmindedly, and now she was still thinking about why there were tomatoes in this place in Puyang? This thing must not be a local species in Puyang, it should also be foreign, the shipping of Nanshu is developed, although the Huo family has the most powerful strength in this, but there are also indescribable small and medium-sized fleets, and where have these fleets been? What things have been brought back? It can be said that there is no way to verify.

"Call Huo Ming over to me~!" Li Hui suddenly ordered someone to find Huo Ming.

Huo Ming wondered why Miss had called him for something in the past so late, but when he came over, he found that Miss had arranged a strange task for him.

"Investigate the special ingredients and spices in various places~?" Huo Ming felt a little strange at first glance, but he turned his head and thought that his young lady was good at cooking, and it was nothing to have such an order, "Okay~!, I will arrange for the Huo family's business house to collect this information!"

Li Hui nodded with satisfaction, the Huo family's business network can be said to be all over the entire Nanshu Kingdom, and even other countries have commercial banks, so it can be said that it is best to complete this matter with the help of the Huo family's power. And not only Nanshu Kingdom, even those surrounding countries should have a lot of different things, but in such an era, even if it is in the same country, but because of different regions, many things are not circulated with each other, so Li Hui is like if these things are circulated, it is definitely very good.

··························

"This is the range of Clear Water City?" Li Hui looked at the yellow sand outside through the glass window of the carriage, his brows furrowed.

"Hmm~~!" Li Shuo closed the curtain on the carriage, the windows on this carriage were specially made by himself with two layers, and the glass was specially installed, in order to prevent the occurrence of such a climate in front of him, but even so, the sand and dust were blown into the carriage through the tiniest gaps.

"It's like this here every year in late spring and early summer, and it was a little better in the past, but now it's getting worse and worse!" Li Shuo now regrets letting Li Hui come to Qingshui City at this time!

"Let people investigate whether the desertification on the grassland is getting more and more serious! Is the location of the desert getting bigger and bigger?" Li Hui said without thinking about it: "If you can, let people artificially sow grass seeds along the edge of the desert in the desertified places to expand the area of vegetation!"

Li Shuo didn't understand why this kind of windy day with sand scraping had anything to do with the desert and desertification, but since Li Hui said that planting those grasses could solve this problem, then arrange for someone to plant it, he had been in Qingshui City back then, and knew that the climate here was much drier than other places, and the wind and sand were also very strong, if he could change these things, he thought that Li Hui would be more comfortable if he was here again.

Because the horse farm and pasture are on the periphery of Qingshui City, they did not stay in Qingshui City, but went directly through the city and went to the pasture outside the city, and when Li Hui saw the situation in Qingshui City through the car window, her first impression was that this was a dilapidated small city, and all she saw were gray and abrupt earthen houses, but there were still a lot of people coming and going, and many of these people were merchants from the way they dressed.

The carriage came all the way to the pasture outside the city, which is a pasture that stretches hundreds of acres of land, in order to distinguish and protect, a circle of marks was specially made, because the place here is not too peaceful, so when the construction just started here, Li Shuo asked those guards to come over, and they can also do some grazing work while training here, and directly take care of this place can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.

These guards Li Hui originally planned to train them into cavalry, and because of the difference in outlook on life and values, she would not disregard life like others, and now that she has enough financial resources to arm them and give them a little more protection for their lives, she is absolutely willing. And she also feels in her own heart that if a person survives after several battles, it is definitely a worthwhile investment!

"How's the safety factor here?Did any accidents happen before?" Li Hui asked in a whisper while leaning on Li Shuo's shoulder.

"There are some small frictions, but there are no big ones, there must be a team of close to five hundred people on our side, and it is well-equipped, the ordinary small forces dare not provoke, and a few large forces do not dare to act rashly without full certainty!" "Because he has been here, Li Shuo still knows a lot about the situation here in Qingshui City, like he has such a large cavalry team on his side, if any force here wants to provoke, he must weigh it carefully.

The houses built here in the ranch are mainly practical and solid, so there are no floors and carvings, and the materials of the houses are also built of stone and wood in accordance with local customs, which looks very rough, but the internal space of the house is quite large, and the large glass windows are installed, so it looks very good.

Li Hui was very satisfied with the fact that the weather here was colder than other places, and Li Shuo also knew that she had always been afraid of the cold, so when the house was built, she specially installed a ground dragon and laid a thick carpet on the ground, so the whole room gave people a very warm feeling.

"It's very good here~!" Li Hui stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass and looked out, looking in this direction, as far as the eye could see, there was a boundless prairie.

"The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast~! The wind blows to the cattle and sheep!"

This kind of beautiful scenery cannot be seen anywhere else, and looking at the prairie connected to the blue sky gives people a kind of spiritual shock.

Although Li Hui is very particular about food, she is also 'not picky', she is willing to try any food, of course, the premise is food.

Qingshui City is connected to the grassland here, and the most common thing here is beef and sheep, so there are a lot of dishes for beef and mutton, mostly stewed and roasted, and Li Hui tasted the special food here in Qingshui City during dinner. Although the main all-meat dish is a little greasy, the beef and mutton here are very delicious, so the taste is still very good, and Li Hui ate a lot of it for the first time.

"It should be better if you change the spices next time~!" Li Hui was led by Li Shuo to walk on the grassland, and she ate a lot of meat tonight, so she came out to walk to eliminate food.

"The beef and mutton here is of very good quality, I think it's better to turn around and process it into bacon or jerky for sale!" Li Hui thought for a while and said, because of the restrictions of many congenital conditions in this era, it is difficult to circulate many things, but Li Hui thought that if the beef and mutton here are made into bacon and jerky that can be stored for a long time and sold, although this kind of thing seems to have a thin profit, but it has a large market, as long as it is operated well, the profit in this is very objective!

"At the moment, we are using the Huo family's network, but these are not our own after all, so I think we should still build our own network, we have also found a lot of things along the way, but we are suffering from no way to sell long-distance, so let's simply start with these low-end sales, in the early stage, we only need to set a point in the main city of each place, and then radiate outward, forming a big network, and then connect all these networks! When the time comes, we can connect the whole country together!"

"And we can also handle some errand work, there must be many times when it is inconvenient for everyone to go far away, and it is not so easy to send letters to distant relatives and friends, we can also handle these, and some ······· ！”

Under Li Shuo's traction, Li Hui conceived a lot of things, and even some things were not matched in this era, but Li Shuo still listened to Li Hui's gushing plans with a smile on his face, and walked around until Li Hui was tired, and Li Shuo slowly went back with Li Hui on his back.

After going back, Li Hui quickly fell asleep, and Li Shuo recorded all the ideas that Li Hui said today under the candlelight, and worked out the operation steps in order, if Li Hui's words just now were listened to by others, I was afraid that nine times out of ten they would think that she was whimsical, but Li Shuo was not, he had always had blind obedience to Li Hui, and in his heart Li Hui's ideas were right! Since Li Hui wanted to do this, he would help Li Hui realize all these things.

·····························

"Boss~~!Where did you say that these stupid forks outside the city came from? I actually got a pasture outside the city, not to mention, I also got a horse farm! I secretly went over to see it today, good guy~~! There are at least one or two hundred horses in it! Such a large piece of fat can be looked at! This is not cheaper than giving it to others, let's get it~!" A lewd man with inverted triangular eyes and mouse whiskers said to the black dragon who was the big boss of the Black Dragon Hall.

Black Dragon is a swarthy, strong man with a horizontal face, he now has a deep scar on his chest in his open clothes, and there are many scars like this on his body, it can be said that Black Dragon Hall can become one of the three major gangsters in Clear Water City, relying on his fierceness and the scars on his body. But this does not mean that he is a brainless person, otherwise he would not have been able to achieve his current position.

"You San~!" The black dragon squinted at the other party and said, "Are you, damn me, a fool?" Although I still don't know what the other party is about, but since he dares to make such a big stall outside the city, this is definitely not easy to mess with! And I don't know the situation there, the other party is strong and strong, and the equipment of those people alone is better than the garrison of Qingshui City! No matter who bites this kind of fat, it will knock out his teeth! What kind of heart did you let me go over? Believe it or not, I'm going to split you in half right now!"

Hearing the black dragon's words, You San couldn't help but shrink his neck, but as soon as he thought about what benefits he was about to get if this matter could be successful, his heart was not flustered in an instant.

"Look~~ Black boss, you said that I You San would not dare to deceive your old man, didn't you!" You San said and approached the black dragon and whispered: "It's Jia Sandao in the south of the city who is ready to make a move, and we can just follow them and pick up the cheap!"

"Smack~~!" Heilong directly raised his hand and gave You San a slap, "Mom~! And said that he wasn't lying to Lao Tzu! How many people are in Jia Sandao's hands? He still wants to go over to gnaw meat? I'm afraid it's true to send food to others!"

Half of You San's face was swollen when the black dragon slapped him directly, but he couldn't care about it now, so he hurriedly covered his face and said inarticulately: "I dare to lie to you there!" You also know the details of Jia Sandao's guy, although he doesn't have a few people in his hands, but behind him there is a tribe of Dayue secretly supporting him, last year there was a snow disaster on the grassland, so many livestock froze to death, for this guys in the winter also came to plunder, although the current season has been considered to have survived the crisis, but those guys' lives are not so good! And the other party is well-equipped, who doesn't look blushing! Even if you don't say that you can eat the other party in one bite, you can get some equipment back and earn it!"

You San's words said that the black dragon was silent, if it was really like what You San said, this thing would really work, and more importantly, if you let others take the lead, you only need to sit in the back and reap the profits of the fisherman, he is very willing to do this kind of business.
