Of course she knew what Shen Xiao was doing, Sheng Ze had told her before that she would let Shen Xiao be in charge of the research and development of gunpowder, which was a secret, and Shen Xiao naturally would not tell Xiao Lin.

"Alas," Kobayashi sighed, "I know that I can't ask about his affairs outside, but it hurts my body too much if I go on like this, and if I hurt the roots, I can't make up for it later." ”

Shen Qingqian didn't speak again, not because she didn't want to say it, but because she knew that the Shen family's body was nourished by divine spring water, even if she was tired for a short time, she would be fine, but it was not easy to tell Xiaolin about this.

At this time, Shen Qingxi's voice sounded outside the stove room, "Sister-in-law, sixth sister, eldest brother and third brother Cheng, they are back, make a few more dishes!" ”

As soon as the words fell, she ran in from outside with a vegetable basket, "Quick, let's deal with these peppers first, eldest brother and Brother Cheng Yun like to eat this the most." ”

Ling Yun had already returned from Chenzhou.

Shen Qingqian glanced at the green peppers in the vegetable basket, and was a little distressed, "Fifth sister, these haven't grown yet, they should be picked in two days." ”

"Oh, I know, didn't you see Cheng Sange and them coming? We don't have anything to entertain in our family, so this thing is considered fresh. But don't worry, I dried a lot of peppers two days ago, and I'll plant them tomorrow. ”

Shen Qinglu grinned and said while handling the dishes in his hand.

The Shen family's kitchen is now taken care of by Shen Qinglu, and even the vegetable plot has been handed over to her.

Not to mention, for foodies, the vegetables they grow can actually make a more delicious taste, so that Shen Qingxi is particularly concerned about growing vegetables.

It's just that she still has some difficulty taking care of such a large piece of land as a little girl, so the Wu family asked Shen Qingman to help her, and the two sisters took care of the vegetable field well, and during the war, they both collected vegetables once and sold them to Yunzhongxian Restaurant.

When she said this, Shen Qingqian didn't say anything, thinking about how Sheng Ze and they could come back suddenly.

You must know that now the Northern Hubei Army is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, but any general is busy to the extent of flying, not to mention the soldiers below.

There is no other reason, after Zhao Wangjun retreated, Liang Cheng convened a meeting for a long time, and put into practice what Shen Qingqian and Sheng Ze said before.

It's hard at the beginning, and for a group of people who have never been in contact with it, it's a big deal to suddenly let them deal with businessmen.

However, development is the last word, and Liang Cheng's ability to spread things out means that more people will enter the game, which is also conducive to breaking away from the control of the imperial court in northern Hubei later.

These things haven't happened to Shen Qingqian yet, but she estimates that it won't be long before she gets busy.

With Shen Qingxi joining, the meal was quickly ready, but a moment before the meal began, another uninvited guest came.

"Brother Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm bothered." Li Hezhou held a smiling face and bowed to Shen Xiao.

Wu and the others were confused, not knowing why he suddenly visited.

Shen Xiao invited people into the house and asked him to sit next to Sheng Ze, "Coarse tea and light rice, Li Gongzi will take care of it." ”

Li Hezhou looked at the dishes on the table, his heart was surprised, but his face was not obvious, he still smiled, "It's me who is abrupt, I came here without saying hello, don't be surprised by my aunt and brother Shen." ”

Wu Liandao is fine.

With Li Hezhou here, it will be difficult for the ladies of the Shen family to go to the big table, Shen Qingman led Shen Qingxiao to rearrange the meal, and the Wu Liang family and the Lin family took Shen Qingqian and others to the living room of the second room to sit down.

After eating, Li Hezhou explained his intentions.

"Brother Shen, I heard that the Northern Hubei Army is looking for someone to form a caravan between Northern Hubei and Guanwai, is this news true?"
