Tuanzi was hugged in, his face was black all the time, he was a man, how could he let his mother carry him into the carriage, he had to do his own thing.
The carriage drove slowly, and Xiaoxue and Xiaohua followed, worried that Lin Guyu would not be able to take care of it alone.
When he arrived at the hot pot shop, Chi Hang was already waiting at the door, watching the carriage come out, helping to carry the three children down from it, and finally helping Lin Guyu get down from the carriage.
Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu got out of the carriage by themselves.
The group walked inside, and when they arrived at the room, Lin Guyu and Chi Hang were sitting at the table and ready to eat.
"There has been some unrest at home lately." Lin Guyu looked at the rice cake that had been wrapped around the dumplings, then he raised his eyes to look at Chi Hang, and said with a serious face, "Should we find more people to watch the home?" โ
Hearing Lin Guyu say this, Chi Hang's brows frowned slightly, "Those people are really too bold. โ
"It's very bold, I dare to hide in the garden, I don't know how long I have been hiding there, and I am now worried that someone will attack us." Lin Guyu thought for a long time, he didn't know who did it, if he knew who did it, it would be okay to be prepared, but now he can't guard against it, "Let's be careful." โ
"I know, I'll let Xu Leng check it." Chi Hang said, sighing helplessly, "How long has it been, not a drop of rain has fallen, and the life of the farmers is really getting more and more bitter." โ
Lin Guyu poured a glass of water for Chi Hang, handed it to Chi Hang, and asked with a serious face, "Didn't the emperor order people to store water?" โ
"That's right," Chi Hang nodded his head, took the teacup, took a sip, and put the teacup on the table melancholy, "The main thing is that no one believes in this matter at all, even if it does, how many people can afford to dig a reservoir and go to the river to grab water, and there are still a lot of contradictions." โ
Hearing what Chi Hang said, Lin Guyu sighed a little helplessly, these things were unavoidable for them.
Although Tuanzi had been listening to the rice cakes, all his attention was on Chi Hang and Lin Guyu.
"Is there enough water in our field?" Lin Guyu looked at Chi Hang worriedly, they had so much land at home, and if the grain they grew was sent to the border gate, it would be much cheaper than buying.
In Lin Guyu's view, although the emperor is not a very good emperor, he still knows how to make good use of people, but in the past two years, the treasury has been empty, this god is not appreciative, the peasants can't grow food, and the emperor's taxes have been reduced a lot, but there is no way to feed the people in the army.
The windows in the room were open, and the clamor from outside wafted in.
"We have enough, but we can't use it for others." Chi Hang also wants everyone to live a good life, but there are some things that they really can't help, and all they can do is take care of their family.
"Let's just have enough." Lin Guyu picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then put the teacup in his hand on the table, "Let's concentrate on making money, with money, we can do whatever we want." โ
Lin Guyu's eyes inadvertently glanced at the big man selling grain below, his brows furrowed slightly, and he thought thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?" Chi Hang followed Lin Guyu's gaze and asked curiously.
"There's corn here." With a faint smile between his eyebrows, Lin Guyu looked at Chi Hang excitedly, "It's easy to do it with corn, corn is drought resistant!" โ
Chi Hang glanced at the people below, looked at the yellow grain on top of their stall, and asked suspiciously, "Is that called corn?" โ
"Yes." Lin Guyu nodded and looked at Chi Hang with a smile, "Have you never seen it before?" โ
"No, two days ago, many people asked me to sell this, and I didn't ask for it." Chi Hang said very frankly, "This doesn't taste good. โ
"It's not tasty, but it's a high yield." Lin Guyu vaguely remembered that there was much more corn than wheat and rice in an acre of land, and if the three were combined to form an ecological cycle, it would save effort and raise fish and sell the fish.
"Then I'll ask Zhang Jiu to contact those people later." Chi Hang was convinced of what Lin Guyu said, "You wait for me for a while, I'll say it now." โ
It's past the time for planting, but maybe we'll be able to plant another batch in the fall.
Thinking like this, Lin Guyu felt much more comfortable.
"Mother."
Just as Lin Guyu was thinking about how to farm next year, a crisp voice came from her ears, and when she turned her head, she saw rice cakes standing beside her.
"What's wrong?" Lin Guyu looked at the rice cake with a smile and asked with a smile.
"My brother didn't believe me." Rice cake muttered dissatisfied, and said angrily, "Ming Mingniang can knock down the bad guy at once, he said that women have no strength." โ
Lin Guyu smiled helplessly, she used to know that rice cakes loved to mess around, but she didn't know that rice cakes actually admired people with good skills, she knew this, she used to pretend in front of her, and this child was honest.
"Later, you learned, and when you perform for your brother, won't your brother believe it?" Lin Guyu said with a smile.
Hearing what Lin Guyu said, Rice Cake felt very reasonable, and decided to learn etiquette and martial arts in the future and become a chivalrous woman.
When Chi Hang came in again, the food was also served.
Lin Guyu was afraid that the three children would be burned, so he asked them to sit farther away and wait for the pot to boil, and then he took out the food inside and put it on the plate in front of several of them.
Rice cake disliked Lin Guyu from the beginning and forced her to learn this and that, and now she can't wait to learn etiquette from Grandma Sun, saying that she can learn kung fu from Lin Guyu after learning it.
"Mother," Rice Cake admired his brother very much at first, but now the object of worship has become Lin Guyu, his black eyes are shining, "How long will it take me to learn to practice like you." โ
"Many years." Lin Guyu said calmly, "No matter what you do, as long as you have perseverance, you can do it well, just like your father, you don't need to see where the wolf is, you just need to listen to the sound, an arrow shoots over, and the wolf's eyes are directly shot through." โ
"Wolf...... Wolf? Rice cake gasped, his eyes widened, and he asked with some hesitation.
"Yes, the wolf was hiding in the grass, and I didn't notice it, so your father shot an arrow directly into the grass." As soon as Lin Guyu's words fell, he saw Chi Hang walking in from outside.
She believes that if Chi Hang is on the battlefield, he will definitely be able to make a lot of contributions.
But she felt very satisfied now, as long as Ji Hang stayed by her side, she was very satisfied.
Rice Cake opened his mouth in a daze, and looked at the father who was not smiling on weekdays, and he couldn't believe what Lin Guyu said.
Tuanzi looked at Chi Hang dumbfounded, swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, and asked in wonder, "Daddy can kill a wolf without looking?" โ
"Yes." Chi Hang said lightly, his eyes swept over the faces of the dumplings and rice cakes, "Eat." โ
"Daddy is a big hero." Rice Cake hurriedly put the hand in his hand on the table, broke his fleshy little hand, and nagged in his mouth, "Mother's whip is so powerful, Daddy is very good at archery, and my brother is ......"
Rice Cake's eyes fell on the dumplings on the side, covered his lips, and said with a smile, "My brother doesn't know anything." โ
Tuanzi glanced at the rice cake and lowered his eyes coldly, if he grows up, he must be more powerful than his father.
Lin Guyu suddenly understood one thing, she shouldn't have forced the rice cakes to learn those at the beginning, she knew that it would be okay to directly seduce her.
It's not too late now, Lin Guyu knows that there is a chivalrous dream in the eyes of the rice cake, anyway, she has been fooling for a few years, and when she grows up, she can more or less use some kung fu to defend herself, but at that time, everything should be learned.
I didn't take them out to play on weekdays, but Chi Hang saw that the weather outside was good, so he took the initiative to take a few of them out to play.
In Lin Guyu's opinion, they are too young, they don't need to invest too much in learning those things, and it's not too late to wait for four or five years old to study seriously.
After a day of playing, the rice cake was excited all day today, and after dinner in the evening, he was in the arms of the little painting, his eyelids drooped, his little head hung down, and he barely lifted it up.
asked Xiaoxue and Xiaohua to send the three children back to the room, and Lin Guyu went to the warehouse with Chi Hang.
Just now, someone said that the corn had been put in the warehouse.
"How many pounds of corn did you buy?" Lin Guyu looked at Chi Hang in confusion and asked casually.
"It is estimated that there are more than 100 catties of seeds, Zhang Jiu went to buy them," Chi Hang said, looking at Lin Guyu intently, and said with some pity, "It would be good if we bought it earlier, and we could plant it directly." โ
The main thing is that there is no land to grow corn anymore.
"More than a hundred catties of seeds, some are less." Lin Guyu sighed melancholy, although the flour from corn was not as delicious as the flour from wheat, but they were very satisfied if they could make the farmers have enough to eat.
"Wait until next year?" Chi Hang asked consultatively.
"Do they bring so few seeds?" Lin Guyu felt that if there were more seeds, it would be okay to plant them next year, but there were not many such seeds, and now this month is suitable for planting corn, Lin Guyu felt that it was a pity.
Chi Hang said lightly, "Because no one in the capital eats these at all, the yield per mu is not high, and it is unpalatable, so they brought it just to try." โ
"Let's open up the wasteland, and when the time comes, we will buy a few pieces of land next to our land and open up the wasteland directly." Lin Guyu asked consultatively.
Chi Hang knew that Lin Guyu was stunned, so he nodded with a smile.
Clearing the wasteland is easier said than done, but it is different if there are many people.
Three days later, 100 people opened up 10 acres of land.
These people all came to do odd jobs, and they all left after being paid.
Lin Guyu and Chi Hang took a carriage to the three acres of land that had been cleared.
As soon as they arrived at the place, Chi Hang and Lin Guyu got out of the car and saw that Xu Feng was already waiting there.
"Madame." Xu Feng had heard about planting corn for a long time, but he had never heard of corn, so he followed with great curiosity.
