The imperial court's decree to levy grain came down again, and the government of Lianzhou could only comply with it, stipulating that every household must pay three buckets of grain, which made Lianzhou, which was already short of grain, even worse, and the people's life was just a little better, and it gradually became difficult again.

Qian Qianqian entered the space, she hadn't taken care of the crops in the space for so long, she really had to put some effort into it, and relying on a dog like Xiao Jiu alone was not a long-term solution.

"What are you doing here? You've moved all the food here, and I'm sorry for helping you look at it for so long. ”

Xiao Jiu followed behind Qian Qianqian, twisting her fleshy body, the flesh on her face twisted into a ball, and her eyes were full of anger.

"I'm also forced to do it, now the world is difficult, although I also want to stock up on more food, but when necessary, I have to take it out to save the emergency, I know that this time is a loss to you, don't worry, when this time is over, I will definitely treat you with good food and drink."

Qian Qianqian leaned over and touched Xiao Jiu's head, but was irritated by Xiao Jiu and avoided it, Xiao Jiu is not a dog who understands righteousness, so her reason can't convince it.

"Hmph, I don't believe you, you know to use this kind of words to prevaricate me, I think sooner or later, the things in this space will have to be emptied for you, but if you have no food to eat, don't cry and come back and beg me."

Xiao Jiu turned his head arrogantly, hugged his two front legs in front of his chest, puffed out his cheeks, and licked the soft hair on the side of his mouth, looking a little cute.

"I know you're doing it for my good, but right now, things are urgent, I can't be so selfish, and don't worry, I won't starve you even if I don't have anything to eat."

Qian Qianqian held a shovel in her hand and got rid of the weeds in the field, the tomatoes were growing very well, and they had ripened several times, she picked the ripe tomatoes, but she didn't plan to take them out to eat, but dug out the seeds inside, dried them and continued to sprinkle them in the field.

After this period of time, the war in the frontier has ended, and the life of the people in Lianzhou City is better, Qian Qianqian will pick out these tomatoes and create a tomato-flavored hot pot, which will definitely be very popular.

There is no food, but fortunately, there are still a lot of wheat, fruits and vegetables in this space, and Qian Qianqian's family can't be hungry, but Qian Qianqian can't help but have an idea in her heart.

Although this Xiao country is at war, the people's life is not easy, but several cities in the south are rich in grain, there should be a surplus, if these fruits and vegetables are transported to the south and exchanged for food, then the people of Lianzhou City will not live so tightly.

"What are you thinking? Do you still want to give all these things to others? ”

Xiao Jiuti slipped his eyes and looked Qian Qianqian up and down, and suddenly had some ominous premonitions in his heart.

"How do you know? You've really become a roundworm in my stomach. Qian Qianqian suddenly raised her eyes, without hiding it at all, and a light smile appeared on her face.

"I really guessed right, your brain is fine, there is only this little thing left in this space, if I give it to someone else, I won't be able to live?"

Xiao Jiu suddenly became excited, ran to Qian Qianqian with his tail cocked, raised his head, and his eyes were about to pop out.

"Xiao Jiu, now is not the time to worry about these, it is not enough for us to have something to eat, it is good for the people of the whole city to have something to eat, and we can't eat all these fruits, vegetables and wheat, so why waste it here?"

Qian Qianqian explained bitterly, her brows were twisted into a dead knot, as if she had already made up her mind, so that Xiao Jiu had no room to convince her at all.

"Anyway, I also have a share of the things in this space, if I don't guard it for you every day, the things here won't grow so well, you have to give these things to others, and you have to get my consent."

Xiao Jiu pouted and refused to let go, but his little protest didn't work at all in Qian Qianqian's opinion.

"Okay, don't be so stingy, even if these things are given to others, they will be returned to us in the future, I know you are not an ordinary dog, you are so smart and clever, you will definitely support me."

Qian Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, and praised Xiao Jiu for a while, so that Xiao Jiu suddenly had nothing to say, and could only watch her pick a lot of fruits and vegetables.

Out of the space, Qian Qianqian went to Lianzhou City, found Mu Tianyue, and informed Mu Tianyue of her plans, but Mu Tianyue was a little embarrassed.

"This Lianzhou is thousands of miles away from Jiangnan, and if you want to transport fruits and vegetables to Jiangnan, with this weather, I'm afraid it will already be rotten on the road, how can you get back food?"

Mu Tianyue shook his head, feeling that this idea was not feasible, fruits and vegetables were not like silk tea, they were easy to preserve, and if they were rotten, they would be worthless.

"What if you seal it with ice cubes and send someone to speed it up? Can it be transported to Gangnam safe and sound? ”

Qian Qianqian's brows furrowed, and she felt deeply in her heart that this ancient time was too inconvenient, and there was no means of transportation such as trains and planes, so she could only rely on the four legs of the horse.

"This is not good, the ice will turn into water on the road, and if you camel so much ice, the speed of the team will inevitably slow down, and the fruits and vegetables will still rot at that time."

Mu Tianyue knew the land of Xiao Country well, and knew that Jiangnan was too far away from here, and it was not as easy as Qian Qianqian thought.

In this way, things are deadlocked again, since this idea does not work, then we must find another way, Qian Qianqian pondered in her heart, and couldn't help but think of those sun-dried fruit slices that were sold in supermarkets in modern times.

"I've got a way."

Qian Qianqian raised her eyes suddenly, and a gleam flashed in her eyes, since fresh fruits and vegetables could not be transported, then she simply made those fruits and vegetables into dried fruits and vegetables, which was convenient for storage and easy to transport.

"What's the solution?" Mu Tianyue looked puzzled, knowing that Qian Qianqian often had wonderful ideas, so I don't know what she thought of?

"We can slice and dry those fruits and vegetables, make them into dried fruits and vegetables, and then ship them to Jiangnan, although the taste is not as good as fresh fruits and vegetables, but it also has a different flavor."

Qian Qianqian immediately explained, the smile on her face became more and more charming, and the whole person looked energetic again.

"This method can work, but is it delicious to dry fruits and vegetables?" Mu Tianyue was beating a drum in her heart, and she always felt that it was a little strange to listen to Qian Qianqian's description, don't spoil the good things.

"I've eaten it before, it's not bad, if you don't believe it, we can make a small amount first, so that everyone in your restaurant is often, if everyone says it's delicious, we'll do it."

Qian Qianqian said very firmly, and also knew that the taste varies from person to person, some people like to eat fresh vegetables, but some people also like to eat those that have been dried, as long as half of the people think that the dried fruits and vegetables are delicious, that is enough.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Mu Tianyue nodded slightly, there is no better way at the moment, he can only listen to Qian Qianqian, and first die a horse and become a live horse doctor.

Qian Qianqian was about to turn around and leave, but Mu Tianyue seemed to think of something and stopped her from behind.

"Miss Qian, have you written to General Xiao these days?"

"Just sent one, what's wrong?" Qian Qianqian stopped, turned around, and listened to Mu Tianyue's words, with a little doubt on her face.

"Then has General Xiao replied to you in the past few days?" Mu Tianyue then asked, there seemed to be something hidden in his heart, which was incomprehensible.

"I received a reply from him five days ago, but there has been no news in the past few days, is there something wrong with the general?"

Qian Qianqian suddenly had some ominous premonitions in her heart, and her originally bright eyes gradually dimmed, and her heart hung in her throat.

"It's not a big deal, the general Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely turn the danger into a disaster."

Mu Tianyue squeezed out a smile from his face, and subconsciously avoided Qian Qianqian's eyes, looking as if he was hiding something.

"What do you mean? What happened to General Xiao? If you dare to hide it from me, you and I will no longer be friends. ”

Qian Qianqian's eyes are full of stubbornness, her temperament has always been stubborn, she must know what she wants to know, and this time is no exception.

"Yesterday, I received a secret report from the frontier, saying that General Xiao led his troops to raid the enemy army in the central country, was besieged in the Gobi, could not advance or retreat, and his whereabouts are unknown at present, and there is no news."

Mu Tianyue hesitated for a moment, but slowly spoke, Qian Qianqian's face suddenly turned pale when she heard it, and the corners of her forehead were covered with blue tendons.

"How so? Xiao Mohan, he, he ......"

Qian Qianqian took half a step back, her red lips opened and closed, and a sentence seemed to be blocked in her throat, unable to spit it out or swallow, and her expression was full of depression.

"But you don't have to worry, with Xue Yi by the general's side, you will definitely be able to fight your way out of the encirclement."

Mu Tianyue saw that something was not quite right with Qian Qianqian, and immediately stepped forward to convince her, but this kind of persuasion at the moment had no effect on Qian Qianqian.

"I'm going to the frontier." Qian Qianqian coldly spit out a few words, although the voice was not loud, but it was full of weight, not at all like casual talk.

"How's that going to work? You're a woman. When Mu Tianyue heard this, he stopped her.

"Xue Yi is also a woman, why can she follow Xiao Mohan on the expedition?" Qian Qianqian didn't think so, if she didn't see Xiao Mohan with her own eyes for a day, she wouldn't be at ease for a day.

"How can this compare? Xue Yi has followed General Xiao since she was a child, and she has secretly done a lot of things for the general, and her martial arts are stronger than ordinary men, she can protect the general, what can you do? You can't open up land and farm in the sandy and gravel fields of the frontier, right? ”

Mu Tianyue said it politely, as if Qian Qianqian was a useless person when she went to the frontier, but Qian Qianqian didn't care at all.

"Then I'm going too, I can't sit still and wait here."

Qian Qianqian suddenly raised her eyes and met Mu Tianyue's gaze, her eyes full of tenacity.

"How can there be such a stubborn woman as you in this world? It's just that nine cows can't pull it back, the frontier is far away, there are often bandits, you go alone, I'm afraid your life will be lost before you arrive, and you won't see General Xiao when the time comes, you yourself will end up with no bones, what should you do with your mother and those younger brothers and sisters? ”

Mu Tianyue dragged Qian Qianqian, raised her voice, and roared in Qian Qianqian's ear, thinking of this, Qian Qianqian gradually calmed down, and was not as impulsive as just now.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea, this matter is not urgent."
