Chapter 196: Birthday (3)

The atmosphere was not harmonious under the big banyan tree on this spring day, and only a dozen people remained in the village, most of whom still felt that it was like a fantasy, and went home to work. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoOnly a few people were still standing in place, listening to Yan Song and Xu Manxiu continue.

"Now, there are only these people left, are you still going to continue to work?" Xu Manxiu whispered in her ear.

Indeed, for the villagers of these five villages, the sudden change of lifestyle is too risky. But success or failure is often in a thought, only knowing how to guard the treasures of the family, and not knowing how to get out of the house often only becomes more and more declining and poor. She learned this truth when she was a child in Luofu.

She looked at the villagers below and still insisted, "For those who stay, what we have to do is to keep the caravan so that the caravan can become interested in the things of the five villages, so that I believe that it will not be long before the five villages can become as rich as the three villages." ”

"What do we need to do, Miss Yan?" said the old woman below, "You see that my old woman is not good at her legs and feet, and may not be of much help. ”

"You don't have to be too burdened, anyway, this time the caravan is here, and everyone only needs to entertain them with the extra food at home. Instead of letting the vegetables rot in the field, it is better to make some new contributions. ”

"Miss Yan mean to let those people eat leftovers?" someone at the bottom covered his mouth and smiled.

"Naturally, there are no leftovers, isn't the big guy eating fresh vegetables in the field?" Yan Song looked at everyone and suddenly had a thought, "By the way, I remember, every household has a sorghum, right?"

"Yes, except for the one used to make wine, the rest are also placed in the field, what is the use of this sorghum for Miss Yan?"

"Before returning to Jiangnan, I took it to Huacheng for a while, and the sorghum there was growing particularly well. It is conceivable that by the time the sorghum is ripe, these pests will bite the crops, and our sorghum will be even more precious. ”

Xu Manxiu's eyes glanced at her from the bottom up, this woman originally thought that she was just a little clever, but she could notice the growth of sorghum on the side of the road, so as to judge the situation after the harvest. The corners of one side of his mouth rose slightly, strange, really a trick!

After returning to Yan's Mansion, she immediately used pen and ink to write down the things that needed to be prepared in the past few days, although only a few people participated, but she must find a way to make profits in this way. Sorghum...... Seems to need something......

"Miss, Xu Xiucai is here, right at the door!" Ah Chun stumbled in.

What is he doing here? Yan Song suddenly became curious about Xu Manxiu, he had repeatedly wanted to obstruct her in the matter of building the embankment before, but today at the entrance of the village, he actually helped her everywhere, did he want to help her or did he want to see her look foreign?

Xu Manxiu changed into a clean cyan robe, which was completely different from the appearance he had before when he went to the ground, and he really became a scholar with oily hair and powder.

"I don't know - Xu Gongzi came here this time to ......?"

Xu Manxiu casually found a place to sit down, stared at her and asked, "Don't you think there is something missing besides sorghum?"

"Odd. He bowed his head and uttered a word, more like a meaningless syllable.

"What?"

"Surprise wins, this method is suitable for use in the art of war, and it is also suitable for use here. Everything is a surprise, and caravans are not only interested in things that have been in short supply recently, but also tend to be interested in new things or unique things. ”

The uncertainty in her heart seemed to be as if she had been hit by him, and she frowned because she couldn't find the so-called strange thing.

"Xu Gongzi said what I just thought was wrong, but, how do we find this strange word?

Xu Manxiu sat there and didn't speak, just looked into the distance, wandering without focus, suddenly thought of something, and clapped his hands, "There is! ”

"Shangsi Festival?" Yan Song's eyes flashed something, she still remembered that the day of the Shangsi Festival was a girl's coming-of-age ceremony, and she was going to play Cailan by the river, but she didn't expect that time she was directly pushed into the river by Russell and almost died. Since then, she has been extremely afraid of water, and she has never had any festivals. Even if the people in Luofu asked her to go out to swim together, she always refused.

"Xu Gongzi, do you want those caravans to watch the girls by the river treading and dancing, will this be too frivolous?" Thinking of the appearance of those young boys and girls standing by the river treading water and singing, Xu Manxiu hurriedly shook his head.

"Who are you girl and I Xu Manxiu! I have read the books of sages and sages, and I can't find a talent in the whole of Jiangnan. Naturally, this is not the case...... he took out something from his belt and handed it to her, "This is a herb that only exists in Jiangnan, it was originally in the back mountain, and people will only pick it when it comes to the Shangsi Festival." What do you think of this?"

"Vanilla?" she sniffed before she got it to her nose, it did have a special taste, different from the vanilla in Yudu, this was a faint and refreshing aroma, very comfortable, "Vanilla has the power of warding off evil spirits, and it is also very beneficial to the body, it is indeed a good choice." ”

"This herb is not an ordinary thing, it can relieve the pain, and besides, the caravan people have been traveling for a long time, if they can soak in the hot spring behind the mountain, and then the fatigue will disappear, they will naturally feel that the five villages are a good place. Xu Manxiu didn't mention it, she had to forget that there was an abandoned hot spring pool in the back mountain, because it was sealed by the villagers in the spring, and she had never been there.

"If it's really thoughtful, I wonder if Gongzi Xu can go to Huacheng with me to persuade those caravan people?"

The corners of Xu Manxiu's mouth suddenly drooped, and he said with a pout, "I'm just giving you some advice, it's better for you to solve the caravan's affairs by yourself, otherwise, if you can't convince them, it's time to blame me again." After Xu Manxiu finished speaking, he got up and left, his attitude was really fast enough, and it was clear that what he said before was good, but how long did it take for him to return to Xu Manxiu, who targeted her everywhere.

"Miss, when are we going to leave for Flower City?"

Yan Song looked at the blue sky outside the window, this is another spring, summer, autumn and winter, at this time last year, she should still look embarrassed, "Ah Chun, is Lord Hai back?"

"Miss, I'm afraid I forgot, Lord Hai just flew away this morning, and it will take two or three days to come back!"

She did forget, it was only a morning, and she was in a hurry. What was she worried about? Rather than worrying about Yu Qian, she might as well be worried about the current situation. Naturally, she was not completely sure how to convince the caravan that if it failed, how would she face these villagers in the five villages. Even if she does bad things with good intentions, she can't help it in her heart.
