When Xu Xiang walked into the living room, Xiao Xueying and the others were playing cards in full swing.

"Look at my pair of big swords, haha...... Tiantian, you can't afford to fight! Xiao Xueying threw down the two "A's" and laughed wildly.

"Second Miss...... I'm on the same side as you! Tian Tian looked at the pair of "armor" she had just placed and a single card "3" in her hand, looking extremely melancholy.

"Huh? I...... Forgot ......" Xiao Xueying said embarrassedly, then looked at the last single card in Tiantian's hand and said, "It's okay, I'll give you a bill!" Let you go! One Piece Five! ”

"Don't ......," Tian Tian said aggrievedly.

"What? Don't want a five? Xiao Xueying was stunned, and at this moment, Xiao Yuan hurriedly came up with a "10".

"Miss Xiao Er, it's time for you to play your cards!" Xiao Yuan said to Xiao Xueying, who was still in a daze.

"I ......" Xiao Xue looked at these messy cards in her hand and had a headache.

"What are you doing?" Xu Xiang walked in and asked.

Xiao Yuan was taken aback, he paid too much attention to playing cards just now, so that Xu Xiang walked in and didn't find it, and hurriedly threw the cards in his hand with an extremely nervous expression.

"Huh! Xu Changsha, you came just in time! Come and play cards! Tiantian's technique is too bad! I keep losing! Xiao Xueying said excitedly.

Tian Tian rolled her eyes, and complained in her heart: "It's obviously the second miss, your own skills are poor, okay?" ”

How can Xu Xiang have the heart to play cards now, Zhai Ling'er's poisoning has not been resolved, and now it is raining so heavily, the hundreds of thousands of displaced people on the Yellow River beach have not yet built their houses, and they will all be drenched in soup, and many people will get sick if they are not handled well.

What he has to do now is to send Xiao Xueying away first, and then go to the Yellow River beach in person to arrange the affairs of the displaced people.

"Miss Ying'er, the meal is ready! Let's eat first, this card can be played at any time, I will have to go out of the city later, so I can't play with you! Xu Xiang said, and then said to Xiao Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, you take Miss Ying'er to dinner!" Then go and prepare a carriage to send Miss Ying'er back to the Xiao Mansion. ”

Xiao Xueying dropped the cards in her hand, walked towards Xu Xiang, and said, "What? Xu Changsha, are you planning to turn your face and deny people? I just saved your life, shouldn't you, as the master, entertain me? Leaving me to a subordinate? ”

"Miss Ying'er, forgive me, it's really that Xu still has important things to do to go out of the city, and he failed to entertain a good girl, Xu is really guilty, when I have time one day, I will definitely go to Xiao Mansion in person to make amends to the girl, how about it?" Xu Xiang explained that now Jiang Shenyu and Qing'er are busy with the old and weak people who have entered the city outside Pujiamen, and they are not in the house, so no one else can entertain her, so she can only apologize.

"You're out of town?" Xiao Xueying's eyes lit up, and she seemed to be very interested, "Where are you going?" Can I go with you? ”

Xu Xiang hurriedly said: "I'm going to see the homeless people outside the city, and now it's raining so heavily, you better not go, right?" ”

"It's okay! It's okay! I'll go with you! ”

“…… Miss Ying'er ......, "Xu Xiang still wants to persuade her

However, she was in high spirits and said, "Go! Go try your craft first, and then I'll go out of town with you! ”

Due to the heavy rain, the carriage went very slowly when it went out from Pujiamen. Originally, Xu Xiang planned to use two carriages, but Xiao Xueying wanted to share the same carriage with him.

Xu Xiang couldn't resist her, so he had to be in a carriage with her.

Xiao Xueying's wooden box was inseparable from her, and she was still holding it even when she was eating just now.

Xu Xiang was very curious about a young girl rushing with such a big knife, Lin Fuhang's strength was congenital, and the strength of that killer should not be lower than that of congenital one.

And Xiao Xueying was able to make that killer suffer with one blow, and his strength was unfathomable, so he asked curiously: "Miss Ying'er, I see that you have been holding this big knife, aren't you tired?" ”

Xiao Xueying patted the wooden box and said, "Do you mean open the sky?" ”

"This knife is called Open Heaven? The name is very domineering! ”

"Hmmm! This knife was given to me by Master! There is only one in the world, and it has not yet been opened, if it is opened, not only will the name be domineering, but even the power will rise several steps! Xiao Xueying said.

"Oh! I see that you seem to be very relaxed holding it, what kind of realm are you? Xu Xiang asked curiously.

"Realm?" She smiled, "You may not believe it when you say it, I have no realm." ”

"How can it be possible without a realm? That killer of the Nine Shadows Hall is at least a congenital one, and he is not your enemy, how can he not have a realm? ”

Still smiling, she explained, "yes! I don't have any internal strength, naturally I don't have any realm! ”

"Then you don't have any internal strength, how can you pick up such a heavy blade? Is it by strength alone? He felt a little incredible, how could this little girl who seemed to be weak and couldn't help the wind have so much strength, judging from the size of this big knife alone, at least more than a hundred catties, right? It's nice to be able to pick it up, let alone use it as a weapon.

"That's right! Our young lady is born with divine powers! Although Miss doesn't have any realm, she can beat the so-called innate masters! The more powerful the enemy, the more powerful our young lady will be! Tian Tian on the side interjected and said proudly.

"Aren't you, then, invincible?" Xu Xiang asked.

"That's not either!" She modestly said, "I'm actually very weak......"

Xu Xiang rolled his eyes, I believe you are a ghost!

"Hey, Xu Changsha, I went to your backyard before, and I saw a very strange piece of land, and it was covered with a white cloth, what is that? Your subordinates won't let me go and see it, it's mysterious? Xiao Xueying asked again.

"Oh, that's a greenhouse vegetable." Xu Xiang replied casually.

"Greenhouse?"

"Vegetables?"

The two women looked puzzled at the same time, "You mean there are vegetables in it?" ”

"yes!"

"Why are you so mysterious about growing a vegetable? Cover it with a white cloth, isn't it an extra move? Xiao Xueying said disappointedly, she thought there were some strange plants planted inside!

Xu Xiang showed a mysterious smile and asked, "What month is it?" ”

"November!"

"Hmmm! In a month or so, it will be difficult for you to eat vegetables, right? Xu Xiang asked again.

Xiao Xueying thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, every year in December, until March, there are very few vegetables!" Still, why do you ask this? ”

In ancient times, before mastering the greenhouse technology, except for some radishes, lotus roots and other vegetables that were not affected by the season. Those cabbage and greens and other vegetables, in winter, as soon as the frost hits, the vegetables are gone.

As a result, there are very few vegetables that can be seen.

Although, for the aristocracy, they liked to eat meat, but in any case, vegetables were also an essential thing. It's okay not to eat it for a few days, but if you don't eat it for a few months, you will feel that the meat is very greasy and you won't have much appetite at all.

The aristocrats used fruits instead of vegetables to reduce the greasy taste of meat.

"In December, I'll give you a cart of vegetables!" Xu Xiang said.

"Huh? Are you saying that the vegetables you grow in the greenhouse will be there in December? Xiao Xueying said in surprise.

"You'll know when the time comes!" Xu Xiang smiled and didn't explain too much.

Since the beginning of November, he has noticed that Qing'er's daily meals are basically meat, so he asks why he doesn't get some vegetables.

Qing'er explained, and he thought of this question. In ancient times, the winter was cold, and vegetables could not grow at all, and even if farmers planted them, they did not have much harvest, but wasted time and energy.

So, in November, the weather gets cold, and the farmers are hollowing out the vegetables in their fields to make room for some hardy ingredients like turnips.

If no one grows them, there are naturally fewer vegetables on the market. When it comes to the dinner table, there are naturally fewer vegetables.

Xu Xiang felt that this was an opportunity to make a lot of money, so he reclaimed the empty backyard and put it into a greenhouse.

After more than an hour's drive, the carriage finally came to the Yellow River beach.

At this time, it is very different from before, it is already a bare area, and the trees that have been cut down have been cut off and the branches and leaves are neatly stacked aside.

These tree trunks are one of the important materials used to build houses in the future.

Yang Dianfeng has been living here these days, and he and Fu Shaoyou are jointly managing this place.

More than 7,000 hectares of land were reclaimed along the entire Yellow River beach, and it took more than a month to clear the mud and cut down trees, but they did not directly build houses.

With Xu Xiang's plan, it is naturally impossible for him to build some wooden houses, although wooden houses are easy to build, but they are not strong.

Because this place is on the edge of the Yellow River, a dam will be built later, but if one day, the water of the Yellow River is uncontrollable, and it will even flood Ningdu and the cities downstream, this dam will still be opened to discharge floodwater.

Although there are still reservoirs to store water, when the time really comes out of control, this place still has to be sacrificed to save the other cities.

Who called this place so low!

If you just build a wooden house, it will be very difficult to rebuild it if the flood water rushes away, but if it is a stone foundation, you can rebuild it by clearing the silt from the river when the flood water recedes.

But if you want to make a stone beam foundation, the most important thing is naturally indispensable - cement.

Cement can be said to be an artifact, an indispensable thing for building houses and roads, which can make houses and roads stronger and not easily destroyed.

In ancient times, castles were cemented with lime mortar, and although the viscosity and hardness were good, they were prone to collapse over time and had to be repaired every day. Not to mention the manpower and material resources consumed, its role is much worse.

Therefore, Xu Xiang wants to build all the houses with cement, stones, and bricks.

It's just that he doesn't have time to study the cement yet, so he can only put it aside for the time being, and wait for the cement to come out before starting to build the house.

What we need to do now is to get the dam out and dig out the reservoir.

Everything has to be done step by step, and you can't become a fat person in one breath.

He was convinced of this.
