And Li Chen didn't have so many feelings.

In a small county town closest to them, they found a place to sell rice, negotiated the price of rice with them, and bought a cart of rice first, so that they could transport it to Bilian Village tomorrow. Rice can be stored for a long time, and it is not a problem to have money.

Next up are the vegetables. Vegetables don't last long, and they need to be delivered fresh every once in a while......

Find a place that specializes in selling vegetables, and look at the door sign that says "Fengxing Vegetable Garden", which is a place that specializes in providing fresh vegetables to restaurants and restaurants. Look for it.

"That's it." Yuan Qing pointed to the "Fengxing Vegetable Garden" and said to the man beside him. At this time, it was already evening, the twilight was dying, and the "Fengxing Vegetable Garden" was about to close......

"Okay." Li Chen nodded. Then the two walked in.

"Two guest officers, the store is about to close, do you have anything to do?" The guy who was about to close the door asked when he saw the two of them enter.

"When we come to the vegetable garden, we naturally want to buy vegetables." Yuan Qingdao.

"Well, everybody, please come in." The man was polite to the two, and he welcomed them in and shouted into the store, "The boss has a guest here." ”

Hearing the man's words, the owner of the vegetable garden, who was doing the accounts in the store, raised his head, he looked ordinary, his eyebrows and eyes were full of the sleek of the businessman, and his figure was a little bloated, he walked out to greet the guest and said, "Two guest officers, do you need anything?" ”

"Well, boss, how do you sell vegetables here?" Yuan Qing asked.

"I'm afraid the girl is from out of town, this son is ......" The man looked at the two people in front of him, although the clothes were more ordinary, but this man looked like this, he really saw it for the first time, and couldn't help but ask a few more words.

"Have you asked so much?" Li Chen said impatiently.

"Boss, the two of us are here to buy groceries with you." Yuan Qingdao.

"Well, the dishes in this store are specially supplied to restaurants and restaurants, and they are guaranteed to be fresh, I don't know if the two of them are restaurants. Or is it a restaurant restaurant? The man asked.

"It's neither, don't hide it from the boss, we are also in business, in Bilian Village in Qiuzhou. There are more than 60 people there who want to eat, but there are no dishes, so we came here to discuss with you......" Yuan Qing said.

"Bilian Village? Is it on the boundary where Qiuzhou and Liuzhou intersect? The man asked.

"Yes." Yuan Qing replied.

"Dare to ask what you two do?" Men find it strange that in this era, they don't do restaurants or restaurants. Why do you come to buy groceries from them?

"It's just a lumber business." Yuan Qingdao said, lie without blinking. Until coal is available, it should be kept as secret as possible. She looked at Li Chen and smiled lightly at him, as if to say, I make sense when I say this, you must not debunk it.

Li Chen received her gaze and stood aside without refuting.

"I see, it seems that the hearts of the two of you are still very good." The man praised that the other timber business owners did not care too much about the living standards of the workers who cut the wood for him. Not to mention buying them fresh vegetables to eat.

Yuan Qing didn't answer, just smiled. Next, they discussed the issue of vegetables. The vegetables are provided by the Fengxing Vegetable Garden, which means that they will send vegetables to Bilian Village every two or three days. Settle the account, a month is calculated according to 30 days, and the monthly vegetable money is ten taels of silver, divided into, pay five taels of silver at the beginning of the month, and pay five taels of silver at the end of the month. And so on.

After negotiating the price. After paying the deposit, the two walked out of the Fengxing vegetable garden.

"Why do you say we're in the timber business?" Li Chen asked.

"Quite simply, as I said before, our mining of coal is a trade secret. Since it is confidential, it is natural to keep it secret. "Yuan Qingdao, of course." Of course, you can hide it for as long as you can. "She's quite free-spirited.

"It's dark, are you hungry?" Li Chen said lightly.

"As soon as you say that, I feel hungry." Yuan Qing touched his stomach and said.

"What if I don't say it?" He said angrily.

"This. I guess my stomach should remind me. Yuan Qing said, feeling that what he said was very reasonable, so he nodded to himself.

Listening to her words, he couldn't help but have a black line on his face, "Let's go here." "The tone is super low.

Yuan Qing also heard clearly, nodded lightly, and then, the two walked into the inn on the side of the road.

The inns of this era are all the same, the first floor is a place to eat, the second floor is a place to stay, the two came to the counter to ask for two rooms, and after dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.

After a good night, the next day, they went separately to the rice shop and the vegetable shop, and asked the two shops to transport what they sold to Bilian Village.

At noon, the rice and vegetables were delivered to Bilian Village, and the construction site was ready to start cooking.

The coal mine is still being mined, and four trolleys made by Uncle Wu have been completed, which can be officially used to push coal; The sheds have been erected, and those who want to rest in the sheds should bring quilts, toiletries, and daily necessities from home; Two large pots were put on the stove, and rice and vegetables were brought in, so that they could officially start cooking for the men who dug coal.

The necessary factors of a coal mine are already on the right track, and the next step is to slowly improve before it can go further and further......

Instead of taking all the rice to the construction site, they took half a bag and went first, and put the rest in their house, leaving some vegetables to eat in the house, and taking the rest all to the construction site.

The food has been solved, and there is no need to be so busy in the future.

The days passed slowly, and a few more days passed.

In the morning, the breeze is cold, the smoke and water are hazy, the country people, the smoke is green, the peace and quiet, Bilian Village is hidden in the basin, surrounded by mountains, the green mountains are connected from afar, the crisp green dyeing eyes, the small river flows, low and slow, crisp and beautiful.

What a mountain and water town.

The rooster crows three times, every household opens the door, the rooster crows six times, Yuan Qingcai gets up, she stretches her waist, yawns, puts on her clothes, gets her hair right, and walks out of the bedroom.

"Morning." The voice of the morning always had a hint of softness, and she looked at the man who had already gotten up, and said hello lazily.

In fact, it was not that Yuan Qing got up late, but that Li Chen got up earlier than her.

After living here for so many days, Li Chen was used to Yuan Qing's somewhat lazy appearance, and he also replied lazily: "Morning." ”

Yuan Qing really didn't think that he would answer her anything, and when she heard him say this "morning" from his mouth, she looked at him in a daze, and said for a moment: "I'm going to wash my face." So she turned lazily away.

After washing his face, Yuan Qing began to make breakfast, in fact, they could go to the construction site to eat, but the two of them were too lazy to run, and it was the same for cooking and eating at home. As long as it wasn't for this prince who didn't dip his fingers in the spring sun water to cook, they didn't seem to have any reason to go to the construction site to eat.

In the morning, he usually drinks porridge, and Yuan Qing does not cook anything else, and the same is true on the construction site, drinking porridge in the morning, and eating steamed rice for lunch and dinner. Drinking porridge in the morning is good for your health, and it's good for saving food on the construction site.

After the porridge is cooked, stir-fry a few side dishes, and a breakfast will be done.

Breakfast is very simple, anyway, Yuan Qing has no objection, this meal is made by her, what about Li Chen, he is a prince after all, he will naturally not eat badly, and I don't know what his attitude is towards her cooking, anyway, as long as he can eat......

So the two of them began breakfast.

There is nothing embarrassing about these two people getting along, anyway, they live like this, and the temperament of both of them is not happy, and this day is also dull for the two of them.

They were eating, and they could hear the door of the fence as if someone had pushed it open, and then there was the sound of footsteps in the small courtyard, and a slightly green voice shouted, "Is there anyone?" "It's a male voice.

"Yes." Yuan Qing listened and said loudly.

There was a person stumbling in the small courtyard, he looked a little thin, about twelve or thirteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, white lips, looking a little sickly, a sick boy. When he came to the hall and saw a man and a woman sitting opposite each other, with small dishes and porridge on the table, he said, "Are you ...... Brother Li, right? The young man looked at Li Chen and asked with some uncertainty on his face.

"You are?" Li Chen looked at him, about thirteen years old, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, but he was extremely thin, and he looked a little sick, he didn't know him.

"Brother Li, don't you remember me? My name is Xiao Yuan, and I've seen you in the barracks before. Xiao Yuan said.

"Are you the son of Xiao Junshi?" Li Chen looked at him, trying to recall in his mind. He is a soldier, he used to be in the barracks, his military advisor's surname was Xiao, and this person's name was Xiao Yuan, and he said that he had seen him in the barracks......

"Yes, I am the son of Xiao Junshi, Brother Li, my father is seriously ill, can you go and see him?" Xiao Yuan said, tears were about to stay.

"Okay, take me to him." Li Chen said, Xiao Junshi is a very talented military advisor, and he is also loyal to Li Chen, why didn't he go to see him at this time?

"Shall I go with you?" Yuan Qing asked.

"Okay." Li Chen nodded, so the two of them didn't care about the dishes and chopsticks, and followed Xiao Yuan towards Xiao's house.

Li Chen was a general before he was eighteen years old, since he was named the prince, he no longer led soldiers, and the soldiers and divisions who had followed him were also disarmed and returned to the field, Xiao Junshi's name was Xiao Yishan, and his hometown was in Bilian Village.

The three of them soon came to Xiao's house, a small courtyard, a few rooms that were more dilapidated than they imagined, and nothing else.

"Brother Li, my father is inside." Xiao Yuan looked at Li Chendao, and then looked at Yuan Qing on the side, his handsome face barely showed a smile and said, "Sister, are you Brother Li's wife?" ”

Yuan Qing and Li Chen are commensurate as husband and wife in Bilian Village, and Xiao Yuan knows it.

Hearing this, Yuan Qing's face became hot for no reason, Nima, asked so bluntly, how do you ask me to answer, she turned her head to look at the man next to her, only to see that he was also looking at her with a flat look, she turned her head and smiled faintly at Xiao Yuan, "It seems to ...... Right. "To be continued
