As the first month of the year comes, and when the snow melts in February, it is time to plant sugarcane.

Chi Yue had already set a goal for this year, and was determined to open the workshop in the county seat, and to open a workshop five or six times larger than the village, comparable to Gu Han's workshop.

She couldn't help but think, when Gu Han came back and saw her, she caught up with him so quickly, I don't know how to feel?

Thinking about it, I still appreciated and supported her as always, and even helped her solve all her difficulties.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hope that Gu Han would come back soon.

She didn't know much about this expectation, she just thought that the friendship was deepening, and it was just a natural expression.

Since he is determined to make the business bigger, Chi Yue has a whim to increase sugarcane production!

In the planting encyclopedia given by the space, she saw that sugarcane could be hybridized to increase yield, and explained the method clearly. If we don't do what it does, wouldn't we be wasting this vast expanse of clear words?

However, if you want to crossbreed, you need to find the best sugar cane first, and the best sugar cane in the world is in the southern barbarians' habitat.

The south belongs to the Xinyi country, which is far less prosperous than the Dasheng country where Chi Yue is located, and it is said that bandits are rampant, and there are civil wars for a long time, and it is not peaceful.

Chi Yue is determined to go for a trip!

Hearing Chi Yue's decision, Zhou was taken aback, shook his head again and again and waved his hand to stop, "No, absolutely not!" The south is now in chaos, everyone is running to our Dasheng country, where is the reason to run the opposite way to that side? Yue'er, are you confused? ”

Seeing that Zhou was resolutely preventing her from moving forward, Chi Yue regretted showing her determination.

She said unconvinced: "Mother, why do you look down on your daughter so much?" My daughter has a unique skill, and she will never be bullied, and she will never be hurt in any way, so don't worry. ”

"You say a nice thing, but after all, you are a young girl, and it is always unsafe to go out alone!" Zhou insisted, "My mother would rather die than let you mess around, if something goes wrong with you, how can I live!" ”

Seeing that Zhou was crying again, Chi Yue had no choice but to endure and not speak.

But where is she easily persuaded to eliminate her plans?

This thought turned and turned in her heart, and she couldn't wait to plug her wings and fly to Xinyi Country immediately.

On this day, she came to the natural residence again to deliver the goods, and heard that Mu Chen was back, and was drinking tea and listening to music upstairs. She thought about it and asked to meet Mu Chen.

If it was someone else, Boss Meng would not even be able to report it, because he knew Mu Chen's temper and didn't like others to disturb him. But this person is Chi Yue, every time Mu Chen and Chi Yue talk happily, Mu Chen even came back several times, and took the initiative to ask to see Chi Yue.

This time, as he expected, Mu Chen heard that Chi Yue was coming, and immediately invited her upstairs to talk.

Mu Chen was still so leisurely, as if nothing in this world could disturb the peace around him.

Chi Yue sat down generously across from him, smiling and shouting, "Where did Boss Mu go again?" Seeing that your skin is a little tanned, I wonder if it will be the south where you are exposed to the sun, right? ”

"Miss Chi is very smart." Mu Chen hooked his lips and smiled, "This trip to the seaside in the extreme south, it is not as cold as here, but there is no snow scene to enjoy, which is not very interesting." ”

"I think it's because Boss Mu went alone, if you have one or two confidants to accompany you, you will feel happy and interesting wherever you go." Chi Yue said with a smile while sipping tea.

Mu Chen looked at her thoughtfully, and said, "Miss Chi is extremely good, I haven't thought about this. It's only because one person is used to acting alone, and some people are not suitable for being accompanied, probably because the person who accompanies them is not a confidant? ”

Chi Yue smacked her lips and asked tentatively: "Boss Mu is the dragon and phoenix among people, and a rough and frivolous person is naturally not worthy of walking with you. But I don't know ......"

She paused for a moment and continued, "What does Mu Gongzi think of the little girl? ”

Mu Chen was stunned, and his eyes burst with interest, "Miss Chi is interested in traveling south?" ”

Only then did Chi Yue inform Mu Chen of her intentions.

When Mu Chen heard that Chi Yue was going to make a hybrid for crops, he couldn't help but high-five him and said, "I didn't expect Miss Chi to have such a far-sighted mind, it's really a strange woman!" ”

In the light of his eyes, he was full of irrepressible appreciation for Chi Yue.

"If you are fortunate enough to help the girl complete this project, you can increase the local sugarcane production, and you can also do your part for the well-being of the people." Mu Chen said with a straight face, "If you are so good, how can you refuse?" ”

Seeing that Mu Chen agreed to her request, Chi Yue was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you Boss Mu for making it complete, if the hybridization is really successful, the brown sugar supplied to you will be half the price cheaper, how about it?" ”

Mu Chen couldn't cry or laugh, "This is not necessary, because if this thing is really feasible, we can naturally profit from it, where can we use it to reduce costs to get benefits?" ”

He paused, and then said, "It's just that if you want to go along, Miss Chi has to agree to the next condition." ”

"On what terms?" Chi Yue raised an eyebrow. After all, they are also businessmen, if Mu Chen is too generous, she will inevitably be weak and dare not believe it.

"From now on, you don't have to call me Boss Mu anymore, just call him by his first name, so that you can really be a confidant."

Mu Chen's words called Chi Yue, and it was inevitable.

Mu Chen regards her as a confidant? How fortunate she was!

"Mu Chen, when are you leaving?" Chi Yue was also not polite, and naturally called out Mu Chen's surname.

Mu Chen smiled with satisfaction, "It's up to you to decide." ”

Chi Yue faintly made up her mind, and this time she must persuade the Zhou family.

When Mu Chen stood in front of Zhou, Zhou was shocked by the powerful aura emanating from his body, and his tongue was knotted and he couldn't speak.

"Mu Gongzi, isn't it?" Zhou smiled in the end, "I heard my family often mention you in the moon, but you are the big boss behind the scenes of the natural residence, and you have opened the natural residence all over the country, which can be described as an admirable businessman and a big man!" Today, you came to visit, and our small family also shined brightly. Yue'er is so fortunate to be able to meet a friend like you! ”

"You're welcome." Mu Chen hooked his lips and smiled, "I came today to ask Aunt Zhou to agree to let Chi Yue follow me to Xinyi Country, on the one hand, to get good sugar cane for Chi Yue, and on the other hand, to go to several chain restaurants over there to check the accounts. If you want to come together, you won't be lonely on the road, and with me, you can rest assured that Chiyue is safe. ”

Zhou looked at Chi Yue in amazement, frowned, and said with some disgust: "Yue'er, you still don't give up?" Now you're trying your best to find Mu Gongzi and ask someone to support you, right? ”

"Mother, what is this called support?" Chi Yue walked over, shook Zhou's arm, and said coquettishly, "People just want to have a long road, and there is a companion on the road, and it will be more lively." It just so happened that I was going south, and Mu Gongzi came to ask if you would like to let me go with him. Don't get me wrong, people are here to inquire, not coercion. ”

In front of Mu Chen, Zhou's seizure was not good.

Under Mu Chenru's indifferent gaze, she couldn't say anything to refute.

"With Mu Gongzi protecting you all the way, my mother is relieved." Zhou said in the end, "But after all, it is Xinyi Country, I heard that it has been very chaotic in recent years, and my mother is worried about ......."

"Mother, Mu Gongzi has traveled back and forth between the two countries all the year round, and has also been to the southwest Chimu country, the northwest northern Xinjiang country, the northeast Altai, and even the maritime countries further south, aren't they all safe and sound? Mu Gongzi wants to be extraordinary, his daughter is blessed by him, like a Buddha and Bodhisattva blessing all the way, who dares to bully his daughter, but he is good-looking! The mother is the most reasonable, I don't think I will suppress my daughter's wishes anymore, and Mu Gongzi's sincere request, right? ”

Under Chi Yue's clever words, Zhou felt that there was no reason to suppress her wishes anymore and rejected Mu Gongzi's request.

"Well, since you want to go so much, my mother can't stop you anymore." Zhou sighed, "It's just that you must return safely, otherwise if you have three long and two short, your mother will not live!" ”

Chi Yue also burst into tears and threw herself into Zhou's arms.

Although she was reborn in this poor and remote place in this life, she was quite relieved to have a mother who cared for her so much and regarded her as more important than her own life, and felt that this life was enough.

Mu Chen was also quite moved when he saw this scene of deep love between mother and daughter.

On the second day, Chi Yue wrapped a few pieces of clothing and got into Mu Chen's carriage.

Zhou, Chi Xin and others watched her for a long time behind the carriage. Chi Yue lifted the curtain and saw the smaller and smaller family members, and the bitterness was pervasive.

"It's good that you care so much about your family." Mu Chen sighed.

"Don't you?" Chi Yue looked at him and asked curiously.

Mu Chen's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he was silent for a while before he said: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but does not wait." ”

Chi Yue then knew that Mu Chen's parents had died a long time ago, and she knew that she had poked his sadness, so she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know, I didn't mean to mention them...... But if they know about it, you will be glad that your career is thriving and your reputation is admired. ”

Mu Chen smiled bitterly and was noncommittal.

The horse's hooves went on and on for a day, and when the sun was set, the two of them settled down at an inn by the roadside.

After five or six days like this, the two finally came to the border between Dasheng and Xinyi.

I don't want to, the two armies on both sides of the river are facing each other, and they are ready to fight at any time.

The boatmen, who used to make some money by carrying guests on both sides, now dare not go out of the boat, lest they be unlucky enough to suffer from the fish in the pond of war.

The fishermen's boats are even moored in hidden harbors, and they dare not go out to fish.

On the wide river, there are only wooden warships coming and going, and there are sergeants waiting for them on the warships.

When Chi Yue saw it, she couldn't help frowning and muttering, "It's really unlucky, how did you happen to encounter a confrontation between the two armies?" So how do we get by? ”

"It doesn't matter." Mu Chen was unfazed, and didn't seem to pay attention to the current tense situation at all.

He took Chi Yue to a fisherman's house by the river, the fisherman was short and swarthy as charcoal, obviously familiar with Mu Chen, and hurriedly beckoned them to take a seat, and asked his wife to go to the kitchen to cook a few good dishes, and entertain them with good wine and food.

Between the cold and noisy, Chi Yue knew that his name was Atai.

"Mu Gongzi, are you going south again?" Atai asked while pouring wine for Mu Chen and Chi Yue.

Mu Chen bowed his head, "Every time I have to bother you to go out of the river to take me, this time I have to work hard." ”

Ah Tai glanced at the surging river in the distance, and gritted his teeth, "Every time Mu Gongzi gives me a tip, it is two or three times that of the rest of the boatmen, even if there is chaos on both sides of the strait, the small one should accompany him." Only this time it is inevitable that we will have to take a long detour, quietly passing through the sparsely populated reeds. ”

"As long as you can cross the river, you can do anything." Mu Chen said.
