Because of the rain falling in the sky again, Zhou Weiji, who got up early and planned to dig hemp yams on the slopes, was stopped by Lan Yi.

"It's raining, it's fine." Zhou Weiji put on straw sandals, put on a robe, and was about to set off with a shovel and hat, "Besides, it's better to dig when the soil is wet." ”

Lan Yi shook her head, "The ground is already soaked, and the shovel can't be dug up with mud." Don't rush the work of the past day or two, wait for the rain to stop. ”

Seeing that he was still planning to go, Lan Yi continued, "Ma Yam will be fine for a few more days, just dig it out before freezing." Moreover, it is best to shake off the soil in the ground and dry it for two days before pulling it back for storage, so that it is not easy to rot. Yu'er and Wenxuan both love to eat hemp yam beans, so let's leave the hemp yam root to plant next year. ”

Zhou Wei didn't know that there was such a special thing about collecting hemp yams, so he nodded and put down the shovel, "It's okay, the frost just fell today, and there are still some days before the freeze, let's continue to plant hemp yam in that field next year?" ”

Lan Yi nodded, "In addition to Ma Yam and another piece of watermelon, what will we plant in the rest of the place?" ”

Every time he heard her say the word "we" to herself, Zhou Weiji felt comfortable and warm, and a pair of big bright eyes under the sword eyebrows looked down at Lan Yi, "Why don't you order some soybeans?"

"Soybeans?" Lan Yi shuddered, her eyes turned and she whispered, "It's good to grow soybeans, but we can't eat many soybeans, so it's better to grow mung beans." ”

"Hehe," Zhou Wei laughed in a very happy whisper, knowing that she was afraid of the green worms on the soybean seedlings, "It's good to plant anything." Daughter-in-law, worms growing on soybean seedlings. What is there to be afraid of? ”

"I don't know, I really can't see the worm wriggling forward, and the cold hairs on my body will stand up when I see it." Lan Yi thought of the finger-sized wriggling insect, goosebumps rose, and she quickly rubbed her arm with her hand, looked up at Zhou Weiji's smiling eyes, and then reacted, "How do you know I'm afraid of that green worm?" ”

Zhou Weiji pinched her little nose, "What do you say?" ”

He must have seen it when he was herding his horses on the hillside. In the case that you didn't find out yourself. How long the hell had he been there watching himself? Since when did he keep his eyes on himself and not look away?

A sour hemp fermented in Lan Yi's heart. She raised her big watery eyes and whispered, "Fool! ”

It's silly, but I just don't want to take my eyes off. Look at her. There is a sense of satisfaction in guarding her. At that time, He had dreamed that one day, he could stand in front of her so closely, and see her clear eyes reflect her appearance.

"Why don't you go in and change your shoes back, isn't it cold?" Lan Yi nudged him.

Zhou Wei came back to his senses, "While I still have time, I'll clean up the chicken pen, and by the way, clean up the duck pen next to me." It's time for the ducks on the hillside to be caught, right? ”

Lan Yi nodded, thinking of encountering Dao Wufeng on the hillside. "Wu Feng said that he helped me feed the ducks in the past two days."

Zhou Weiji's figure was stunned, and his thick sword eyebrows moved slightly. Answered.

"Wei Ji," Lan Yi sighed, "what are you letting Wufeng do on the hillside?" ”

Zhou Weiji changed into the coarse old shoes he wore for work, "Let him stare at Liang Yousi." ”

That's true. Lan Yi nodded, tiptoeing up his hand to tidy up his somewhat crooked robe, "Don't worry, I won't go to the inn alone, and I won't go to the hillside for a few days." ”

"Daughter-in-law, I have asked someone to inquire about the news, there will be a response in the next few days, you can bear with it for a few more days." Not trying to restrict her movements, just worried about her safety.

He spoke softly, was he afraid that he would be angry? How could I be angry?

"The first time I met him, I sent a quick letter to my father and mother in Meixian County, asking them to help me inquire about Liang Yousi, if it is fast, there should be news back in a few days." The inconvenience of communication is the most unaccustomed place for Lan Yi here, and it will take more than half a month to exchange letters between the two places at the earliest.

It would be nice if there was a better and faster way to deliver the letters.

Lan Yi took Wenxuan to clean up the greenhouse in the west courtyard, thinking about whether to establish a civilian letter transmission network. In the Great Zhou, as in the previous dynasties, post messengers only delivered official letters. The transmission of folk letters mainly relied on acquaintances, and the speed was slow and the secrecy was very poor, and the rich could send slaves to deliver the letters, which is a separate matter.

There is certainly a market demand for a safe, secure and relatively fast way to deliver letters, or even a small cargo mailing system, and it is an extremely valuable thing, but it requires a considerable amount of investment. The laying of a complete set of systems such as manpower, means of transportation, and transfer stations is not something that can be done by Tsingshan Shangji now, but it can be used as one of the future business development directions. Perhaps it is also possible to establish a small-scale correspondence network by using the channels through which the goods were transported and the areas through which the goods were transported.

Xiao Qi, who was wearing a lily robe to help Lan Yi work, saw her in a daze, and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law Tuesday, your kung fu in a daze is not short, are you thinking of any good way to make money?" ”

Looking at Xiao Qi, whose face was much better than the day before yesterday, Lan Yi nodded mysteriously, "Xiao Qi, you guessed right this time!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qi put down the shovel and rushed to Lan Yi to help her pull the weeds, smiling brightly, "Sister-in-law Tuesday, listen to the little one, you can't pull me down this time!" The little ones are in a hurry to save money. ”

Lan Yi said her thoughts, "What do you think?" ”

Before Xiao Qi could speak, Qianmo, who was joining in the excitement next to him, interjected, "Fourth girl, you have a good idea." Qianmo has long wanted to write a letter to his mother and go back, telling me that my mother will send a package of bacon over, you don't know, my mother makes bacon delicious. ”

Qianmo followed Lei Tianze to live in Beigou Village for a few months, and he missed his father and mother when he didn't see him.

Lan Yi glanced at him, "Qianmo, even if you establish a transmission network, it is impossible to pass a pack of bacon for you." ”

Qianmo was sad, "Why? ”

"The goods that can be transported by the transmission network are also limited, and things such as clothing, books, and mountain treasures that are not afraid of squeezing and bumps are acceptable. Aren't you afraid of eating bacon from such a distance? "This kid has a word in his head.

"Don't be afraid, even if I pull alone for three days, I want to eat." The light Moha has flowed out, he is homesick, when will the son be willing to go back.

"Sister-in-law Tuesday, as you said, this is a good idea, but in recent years, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to do it." Xiao Qi looked at Qianmo's appearance, and said with a smile, "Is there an idea to make money faster?" ”

Xiao Qi is always short of money, or he has been in a hurry to make money.

"Xiao Qi, what are you going to plant in that greenhouse in the mountains this year?"

"It's the same as last year, cucumbers, big red fruits, and a few common vegetables that can harvest a few crops." Xiao Qi replied, hearing Lan Yi ask like this at this time, the peach blossom pupils looked at her brightly, "Did Sister-in-law get any new vegetables on Tuesday?" (To be continued.) )
