There is no more delightful sight than autumn in the side of the sea, with the sky high and the earth deep, and the eyes and minds open.

Because Zhong Ye defeated Xu Jingfeng during the wheat harvest season, the people felt more secure.

As a result, tens of thousands of acres of wasteland were cultivated, planted mostly with buckwheat and beans, as well as some vegetables, which had a short growth cycle and could be harvested when frost fell.

Zhong Ye took Wei Yining to the edge of the wasteland they opened, and at this time Wei Yining was already pregnant, wearing loose clothes without a waist and a sunscreen hat.

"Yining, you see, these crops have been harvested, and then some food supplies will be transported from the surrounding states and counties, and our Liangzhou City will be able to ensure that there is enough food for the winter this year, and there is no need for the capital to travel thousands of miles to transport it." Zhong Ye was very relieved and said, "If the situation is stable, by next year, I should be able to be completely self-sufficient, much earlier than I expected." ”

"That's because the grandfather used his soldiers like a god, and won battles one after another, and the Turks did not dare to attack rashly, and the people had the bottom in their hearts. What's more, if the decree issued is good, the people can get real benefits. Wei Yining said with a smile.

"That's not because you are a virtuous helper who helps me plan all day long." Zhong Ye looked proud: "You sit here, I'll take the dishes." ”

"I'll help you, it won't take much effort to collect the vegetables anyway." Wei Yining wanted to help.

"You're not allowed to get started, your belly is so big, it's hard to bend over." Zhong Yehu made a big face: "Okay, I just came out with me today to let off the wind, obediently, and I will make something to eat for you in a while." ”

Wei Yining sat on the ridge on the side, handed Zhong Ye water for a while, and took out a handkerchief to help him wipe his sweat.

They have never faked this land, so they are especially satisfied when it comes to harvesting.

"Is it hot or not? Go and sit in the shade of the tree over there. Zhong Ye said to Wei Yining with a large bundle of vegetables.

"It's quite comfortable to bask in the sun, and it's windy, and it's not hot at all." Wei Yining squinted his eyes and raised his head, looking coquettish.

"Cover your face and beware of getting a briquette." Zhong Ye scared her: "I brought you some fruit, see if there is anything you want to eat." ”

"You're here to work, I'm here to play." Wei Yining muttered quietly.

Zhong Ye plucked the dish for a while, felt that it was hot, and simply took off his shirt, revealing his solid body.

The bronze skin was knotted with bones and muscles, as if it were cast from copper and iron.

Wei Yining squinted her eyes and looked a little distracted, Zhong Ye bared a mouthful of big white teeth and asked her with a smile, "Why are you so fascinated?" The husband's figure is not bad, right? ”

Wei Yining was nibbling on a pear in his mouth, and said vaguely while nodding: "Not bad, it's a pity that this figure doesn't work." ”

"You little conscienceless," Zhong Ye couldn't help but complain a little: "I really don't know how I survived these few months." ”

Wei Yining didn't look over his head and pretended not to hear, Zhong Ye grinded his teeth and continued to pull vegetables.

The sun was rising higher and higher, and the weather was getting hotter, so Wei Yining ran to the side and sat under the shade of a tree.

Zhong Ye had already finished collecting more than half of the dishes, looked up at the sun in the sky, patted the dirt off his hands, looked at Wei Yining in the distance, and said with a smile: "Little bastard." ”

Wei Yining thought he was going to rest, so he stood up and said, "Come here, it's cool here." ”

"I'll go get some food, you wait here." Zhong Ye shouted at her, turned around and called the five-flowered horse over, and rode away.

Wei Yining waited under the tree, and when he was bored, he yawned a few times. She sat down on the blanket, plucked the blades of grass beside her, made a small cage, and put a cricket in it.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was not good, so I dismantled the cage again and let the crickets go.

When Zhong Ye returned, he was carrying two pheasants in his hands.

"Hungry, huh? I'll make you a flower chicken. Zhong Ye jumped off his horse, fetched two buckets of well water, and skillfully washed and peeled the pheasants.

The horse's coat was filled with spices and flints, and the perilla tree grew on its bow, and the leaves were picked and wrapped in the chicken, and the outside was covered with mud and placed in the dug pit.

"Don't worry, there's something delicious." Zhong Ye saw Wei Yining's eyes staring at her, knowing that she was hungry.

The cowpeas with pods freshly picked from the ground, the sweet potatoes that have just been dug up, and the green bales with the skin are all put into the pit.

"Is this delicious?" Wei Yining asked curiously.

"Of course it's delicious, and we do it a lot when we're marching and fighting." Zhong Ye was talking to her, and the movements of his hands did not stop.

Bury a layer of wet soil and put firewood and grass on top to light it.

"Wait, it's time when all this firewood is burned." Zhong Ye washed his hands and face, walked over and sat next to Wei Yining.

"This pear is so sweet and crunchy, you can eat one too." Wei Yining pulled out a pear from the fruit basket and handed it over.

"There's only one left, you can eat it." Zhong Ye said.

"My teeth are so sore that I can't eat anymore." Wei Yining shook her head, she often has sore teeth recently, and she doesn't dare to eat too much fruit.

"I'm going back to stew bone broth for you." Zhong Ye was distressed: "Didn't Mother Bai say that if you drink more bone broth, your teeth won't be sour?" ”

Wei Yining laughed when he heard it: "Grandpa, now you listen to Mother Bai's words as if you heard a holy decree, I got up early and drank bone broth." ”

"Then ask the comprador in the kitchen to buy more green shrimp and come back." Zhong Ye said again: "It's good to eat more shrimp, that's what my grandmother said." ”

The people in the surrounding fields also began to eat lunch, and during the autumn harvest, they were busy in the fields and did not care about going home, so the people from the family prepared the food and brought it.

Locals in Liangzhou like to eat rice and flatbread with old pickles.

When a family was cutting beans, they caught a nest of quails, cooked them, and brought them to Zhongye.

Zhong Ye thought that if he refused, he might have failed the kindness of others.

So he generously accepted it, and gave back the pheasant he had roasted.

"Are you ready to eat?" Wei Yining bit her lower lip.

"Little gluttonous cat, of course you can eat it." Zhong Ye smiled and gently flicked Wei Yining's forehead: "Wait until I seal the mud." ”

The aroma of the roasted pheasant meat is strong, and the smell of the corn and sweet potatoes is unbearable when the burnt skin is removed.

"Be careful, don't burn it," Zhong Ye peeled a few cowpeas and gave them to Wei Yining: "This taste is the best." ”

Wei Yining has eaten roasted buns and roasted sweet potatoes, but he has never eaten roasted cowpeas, and he fell in love after tasting a few: "Don't threshh these beans, just leave them like this, burn them and eat them." ”

"I'll keep it for you, and put it in the ice cellar if you can't finish it." Zhong Ye said dotingly.

Seeing that Wei Yining's mouth was rubbing a black piece, Zhong Ye reached out to wipe it for her. Because of a little effort, Wei Yining's snow-white skin turned red all of a sudden, Zhong Ye was distressed, and couldn't help but go up and kiss him.

"Seen." Wei Yining blushed.

"Nobody saw it." Zhong Ye didn't know what the blush was.

After lunch, Wei Yining's sleepiness came up, and he fell asleep leaning on Zhong Ye's side. By the time she woke up again, Zhong Ye had already gone to the field to get busy again.

The sky was clear, the wind was wafting with the sweet fragrance of grains, Wei Yining's stomach moved twice, and the child inside also woke up.

At this moment, Wei Yining understood more deeply why Zhong Ye had to expel the Turks completely, because more people could enjoy such stability and tranquility.
