Xue Wolf did not stay in Zhao Yan's courtyard for a long time, but saw that his sister was fine, and Zhao Yan did not force his sister to stay, which made him finally put his mind at ease, and went back that afternoon, although Xue Ning'er was worried about his brother's safety on the road, after all, the road was still blocked by heavy snow, but Xue Wolf's character was very stubborn, and in the end she could only send her brother back helplessly.

Early the next morning, Xue Ning'er also got up early, because she had made an appointment with Zhao Yan yesterday, and today she was going to teach the princess of the county to learn yoga, and the place where the yoga was learned was in Cao Ying's room. By the time Xue Ning'er came here, a thick blanket had been laid on the floor of the room, and several stoves had been lit around it, making the room very warm.

Zhao Yan, Princess Shoukang, and Zhao Yingning also came here early, and when Xue Ning'er arrived, he introduced the two parties, and then left the room, because it is best to dress loosely when doing yoga, especially the chest wrapping of the Song women, which must be removed, otherwise it will not be possible to do the movement at all, so Zhao Yan must not stay here.

In the morning, Zhao Yan went to see Lao Fu and them, although the annex is only a few miles away from Tokyo City, but the snow on the road is too thick, and it is not easy to clean up, so only half of it was cleaned up in a day yesterday, and it is estimated that it can be dug to the city gate today.

When Zhao Yan walked along the cleared road, there was now high snow on both sides of the road, which made Zhao Yan feel like walking in an alley, as for the wheat seedlings in the farmland on both sides of the road, they were all hidden under the deep snow, but this is a good phenomenon, and next year may be able to make a bumper harvest of wheat.

When Zhao Yan walked to the end of this road, he finally saw Lao Fu and Wang Qi directing people to clear the snow on the road, and countless young and strong men held big wooden shovels to shovel up the snow on the road, and then threw it on a flatbed truck to be transported away, although it was the season when water was dripping into ice. But many of them were sweating profusely, steaming hot from the top of their heads, and they were wearing only single clothes. It seems to be in full swing, and from time to time there will be a hearty laugh in the crowd.

"The King of the County. How did you get here? Lao Fu, who was directing people to work, saw Zhao Yan coming, and immediately trotted forward and saluted, don't look at his age, but because of his long-term work, his body is also very strong, and he has basically not had any illness.

"Hehe, I'm going to see how the road is cleared?" Zhao Yan smiled at Lao Fudao, and then he saw that a vacant lot had been cleared out of the side of the road. A few cauldrons were set on the fire, and there were a few sturdy women around him, which made him ask with some curiosity, "Lao Fu, what are the cauldrons over there for?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yan's question, Lao Fu replied with a smile: "Why did the king of the county forget, didn't you let the old slave buy two pigs yesterday, what is cooked in the pot over there is pork bone soup, whoever is hungry or cold, you can go over there to drink a bowl of soup and rest." Wait until you have the strength to do it. ”

"Yes...... But wasn't that bought yesterday, and the pork has already been distributed to the subordinates and farmers, why is there still today? Zhao Yan asked with some puzzlement. Yesterday he thought that he could finish it in one day, so he only prepared two pigs yesterday, and today he did not come and told Lao Fu that they would come to work, and with Lao Fu's good character of being diligent and thrifty, he would definitely not buy pigs for the next people.

I saw Lao Fu replied with a natural face at this time: "The king of the county doesn't know, the Zhuang family usually rarely smells the smell of meat, the smell of pork bones is all in it, after cooking it yesterday, it can be boiled again today, and there is more oil and water than yesterday." And even if it is finished today, there are still many farmers who ask the old slave those pig bones. Said it was enough to bring home enough soup for them to cook for a few days! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan also wiped his sweat, and later generations always heard that people in the Tang and Song dynasties did not eat pork. But that's just the aristocracy, for the ordinary poor people, usually only have the opportunity to eat meat during the New Year's holidays, and they don't care about pork and mutton, as long as they can satisfy their cravings, and even the pork bones have to be boiled several times, in order to dip some meat on the meal to taste good.

Next, Zhao Yan walked over and looked at the pork bone soup that was being boiled, and now many big bones were cut into several pieces, but the bone marrow oil in them was boiled out, and it smelled fragrant, but Zhao Yan didn't have the courage to taste it, because those big bones were clean and clean, and there was not even a single meat residue, obviously this could not be removed, but it would be so clean after being gnawed, after all, these bones were all leftovers from yesterday, and he didn't want to eat other people's saliva.

For the arrival of Zhao Yan, whether it is the subordinates of the palace or the tenants of Shangshuizhuang, they all feel that their morale is greatly boosted, especially the tenants of Shangshuizhuang, a few days ago, relying on the cabbage business, each family has made a lot of money, although it cannot be said that it is rich overnight, but it is not far behind, you must know that a pound of cabbage is four hundred yuan, and each tenant has at least thousands of catties of cabbage in his house, so calculated, a tenant's family can have an income of hundreds of yuan, and more can even reach six or seven hundred, this money can not only let them live a fat year, Even wait until the next year, you can also renovate your family's house.

It is precisely because of this that the tenants are grateful to Zhao Yan from the bottom of their hearts, and now they see the county king personally come to watch them clean the road, which makes the tenants very excited, and after saluting Zhao Yan, they began to work harder, such as the snow car is piled higher than the people, and the old Fu repeatedly scolded them for doing what they can, but in exchange for the smirk of those tenants, the next car is higher than the previous car.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan felt that he couldn't stay here anymore, otherwise he might exhaust the tenants who were eager to express himself, so he had to open his mouth to boost his morale, and then turned around and returned to the inner house of the other courtyard, and as soon as he walked outside Cao Ying's room, he heard Xue Ning'er's voice coming from inside: "Okay, let's practice here today, the princess and the county lord are both good, but the princess's physique is a little worse, and some actions are not standard, you can practice in private." ”

After Xue Ning'er's words fell, there was immediately the teasing and slapping of Princess Shoukang and Zhao Yingning to Cao Ying, and even Xue Ning'er's voice was mixed in, it seemed that they got along quite well, at least Cao Ying and Princess Shoukang did not reject Xue Ning'er very much.

Hearing the commotion inside for a while, then the door of the room was opened, and Xue Ning'er, who was already dressed, was the first to come out, and when she saw Zhao Yan outside, she was immediately stunned, and then smiled: "Why is the king of the county still here, you won't be waiting for us to finish yoga, right?" ”

Zhao Yan also smiled when he heard this: "Xue Xing misunderstood, I just went to see the clearing of the snow on the road, and I just came back, but I didn't expect to hear that you also finished today's practice inside, so I stood here and waited for a while." ”

When he said this, Zhao Yan paused and asked with a smile: "How about it, the third sister, are they still cooperating, have you practiced yoga with your heart?" ”

"The prince of the county doesn't have to worry, Princess Shoukang is more interested in yoga, and she is also very attentive when practicing, especially the county lord, although her figure is a little plump, but she works hardest when practicing, and she is also the best one among the three, Princess Shoukang's physical condition is very good, and yoga is not difficult for her, but the princess's physical condition is not very good, and some movements need to be practiced diligently." Xue Ning'er smiled and introduced the practice of Cao Ying and the others.

Zhao Yan heard Cao Ying say before that she was not in good health when she was a child, so she kept drinking goat's milk, and although Cao Ying usually had to be a housekeeper, she usually sat in the room and read the account book, and she also told Mi Xue and others to do something.

At that moment, Zhao Yan thanked Xue Ning'er again, and then personally sent her out of the courtyard, I wanted to go to Cao Ying's room to have a look, and by the way, I asked Cao Ying in person how they felt about yoga, but they didn't expect to be stopped by Mi Xue and a few other maids at the door, because according to them, Cao Ying and the others inside had not changed their clothes, but were still practicing the yoga movements they had learned before.

Hearing this, Zhao Yan didn't need to ask anymore, from their expressions, you could see the popularity of yoga, and at that moment Zhao Yan also smiled slightly, turned around and returned to his room. In the afternoon, Lao Fu came back happily with his people, and he knew that the road to Tokyo City must have been opened without asking.

With the opening of the road, the news in the city of Tokyo was also quickly transmitted, the snow disaster situation in Kaifeng City was not particularly strict, only a few houses were collapsed by the heavy snow, but there were no deaths, just people were injured, after all, Tokyo City is located in the north, there will be several heavy snowfalls every winter, the residents of the north have long had experience in dealing with the heavy snow, many people are overnight on the house to clean the snow on the roof, and most of the houses that were collapsed are empty yards where no one lives.

However, this heavy snow still has a lot of impact on the city of Tokyo, such as the heavy snow has blocked the road, and the prices in the city have skyrocketed, among which food and other necessities of life are better, after all, this is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and the price control of grain is very strict, and even the imperial court will sell some grain at a low price, so as to suppress the price of grain, and for the people, as long as the price of grain is within their bearing, then there is no problem.

Although the price of grain can't rise, but other prices are soaring, such as the Chinese cabbage sold by the tenants of Sheung Shui Village, and the price has risen again and again with this heavy snowfall, not that Wang Qi wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, but those who buy vegetables in order to buy cabbage first, take the initiative to start raising the price, from the beginning of 400 yuan a catty, has risen to 550 yuan a catty, and even so, every time the cabbage car enters the city, there will be countless people stopping on the road to rush to buy, the result is often that the cabbage has not been transported to the vegetable market, It's already sold out.

In this case, the tenants of Sheung Shui City were naturally happy to close their mouths, but before they could be happy for too long, the negative impact of the profiteering Chinese cabbage finally appeared. (To be continued)
