Early the next morning, Libai took people up the mountain to continue repairing the wall, and he wanted to follow to see the lively Ziyu being left behind.

Just because she went up the mountain with her, it would affect the progress of repairing the wall.

There was no way, the castle lord was too popular, and both men and women rushed to greet her as soon as she appeared.

Walking on the mountain with heavy stones is not for fun.

If you don't pay attention to your step, you are prone to accidents.

It can hurt your foot, or roll down the cliff and die.

For the sake of everyone's safety, Ziyu, who originally wanted to learn the technique of building walls, could only dispel this idea.

Ziyu, who had nothing to do, inspected the autumn vegetables planted in the rice fields by Daxia Fort with her hands behind her back.

The cotton and cobs in the fields are harvested, and the cobs are to be kept as fodder for the livestock for the winter.

When the stalks are dried, they become a very useful fuel, and each family grows two or three points of cotton this season.

There is no need to worry about cotton clothes and quilts in winter, and a family of six or seven people can use enough.

Liu Ye is leading the women of the house to cut sweet potato vines on the slope, which are also fodder for livestock for the winter.

After the spring breaks, the purple jade will take out the surplus livestock from the farm.

The quantities of all kinds are only controlled within the daily consumption, and there is no need to raise any more.

The flocks of poultry in her space are already in stock, and from time to time she gets some to go to the farm.

The territory of the farm is so large, and no one really notices how many of them.

The dog that was brought back, after being taught twice by the snow wolf, obediently became the keeper dog of the farm.

…

The autumn cabbage in the field is more than a palm long, and it is the most tender time.

The autumn cabbage in other people's fields is reluctant to eat, but only Ziyu's family has pulled out half of it.

However, fortunately, there are enough sprinkles, even if there is still something left after eating until the snow covers the mountains.

Ziyu glanced at the scarce vegetable seedlings, which was the only fly in the ointment of Daxia Bay.

Every long winter, it is either radish and mud eggs, or cabbage and vermicelli.

Ziyu doesn't like to eat taro, and Daxiabao, which has grain and meat, is not planted.

The best dishes are all kinds of bean sprouts, tofu, and then some tofu skin, dried tofu, moldy tofu, dried mushrooms, kelp, and seaweed.

If you want to eat some fresh vegetables, such as sweet fruits, cucumbers and other varieties, you have to hide in the house and eat them.

Eating delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, I no longer have any attraction to purple jade, but I am interested in eating flowers and plants.

The bored Ziyu is thinking about when to open up the wasteland again, and she is idle anyway.

…

"Castle master, the camellia seeds on the mountain are ready to be picked, look!"

Shi Ziming came over with a basket of black camellia fruit with slightly cracked shells, and his dark face was beaming.

"What a good thing!

After waiting for a few years, you can finally harvest, is it more? ”

Ziyu picked up a camellia fruit from the basket and put it under her nose to take a deep breath.

There is a faint aromatic fragrance, and there is a long-lost smell of tea oil.

"The old trees bear a lot of fruit, and they can be picked about two loads.

The new trees have less fruit set this year, and it will take some time before they can be picked.

Next year, another batch of saplings can be transplanted, and the old slave is going to plant Camellia oleifera trees on the slopes of the old trees.

After two years, the castle owner will be able to have endless tea oil. Shi Ziming wiped the seam of his trousers with one hand, and said honestly.

"Yes, the business of the orchard is entrusted to you, Lord Benburg, rest assured.

Is there enough food to eat at home, and it is almost winter, and there are not enough cotton clothes and quilts.

You have a new person in your house, remember to ask Steward Sheng to get something.

Willow Leaf, come here! ”

Since handing over the orchard to Shi Ziming's family to manage, Ziyu has not bothered at all.

As long as there is fruit ripe, Shi Ziming is always the first to send it to the house.

The fruit was fresh, big, and sweet, and tasted better than the fine fruit she bought in later life.

The willow leaves who heard the sound took Shi Ziming back to the house without Ziyu's instructions.

Liu Ye carefully asked Shi Ziming how to dry tea seeds, and in the past, only the most prominent nobles could afford to use tea oil.

Usually people have never even heard of it, let alone bought it.

Liu Ye remembered that the old lady of the former owner's family would occasionally use tea oil.

Every time I use it, I put it in her room, for fear that someone will smell it away.

A small jar of tea oil is as high as fifty taels of silver, and it is still difficult to find.

I heard that they were all tributes to the imperial palace, but the people basically didn't.

Thinking of the willow leaves in the past, he wrote down the precautions one by one, and did not care about the things in the field, and dried the camellia fruit on the shelf by hand.

"Castle master, the old slave has to go to pick camellia fruits, it will affect the quality if it is late." Shi Ziming hurriedly said with a basket on his shoulder.

"Let's go, I'll pick it too!"

Finally found Ziyu, who had something to do, how could he let go of the opportunity in front of him.

One sentence frightened Shi Ziming almost knelt down on the spot, he didn't dare to let the castle master pick tea seeds.

"Castle Master, stay and stay!

The old slave's manpower is enough, you better rest! ”

Shi Ziming didn't dare to say that he was afraid of Libai, just because Libai's momentum was still very scary when facing outsiders.

"Miss, don't scare Shi Ziming, his family of five is enough to pick tea seeds.

Later, when there are more camellia seeds, we will pick them together.

If you let my uncle know that you climb a tree, it's time to cut it down again. ”

Liu Ye saw that Shi Ziming was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, so he had to help him out of the siege.

"Okay, okay, go pick it!"

Ziyu, who couldn't make the trip, was bored out of the yard and squatted on the slope, watching the people in the field work.

That guy from Libai always treats her like a child, and he is not even allowed to climb trees.

If you want to go into the deep mountains alone, it is even more impossible.

Ziyu rubbed her eyes darkly, and the mountains behind the wall in the distance.

With so many people working in the mountains, the chances of trying to sneak out are almost zero.

[If only someone came to challenge Big Summer Bay!] 】

Ziyu, who was thinking about it from east to west, saw Wang Xingwang coming in with four beggars from a distance, and immediately became interested.

It's been a long time since outsiders have come in, and there should be something to do.

Holding the excited Ziyu, she stood straight on the hillside with her hands behind her back.

A pair of big eyes look at people who are getting closer and closer, biu~biu glows.

…

"Brother Ziyu, help!

I'm cold and ......."

Before Leng Dayou could get closer, he brushed the messy hair off his face, revealing a thin face.

"Brother Ziyu, and I, Yuan Dazhu.

Our ship was wrecked in a storm, and many people have been infected with wind chills due to lack of food and medical care.

Please be gracious to the castle lord and save my life, Yuan Dazhu is willing to sell himself into slavery! ”

Yuan Dazhu, whose face was flushed, knelt on the ground with a thud.

His tired and hungry body had already been cold, and it had exhausted the last bit of strength to hold on to it.

"Wang Xingwang, quickly find Dr. Du and arrange for them to rest in the wooden house."

Ziyu didn't expect it to be someone she knew, and it didn't seem to be an ordinary difference.

She didn't have time to understand the situation outside, and looked at Leng Dadao.

"Leng Dayou, you guys take a rest for a while and eat some food and medicine.

I will immediately arrange for Wang Xingwang to take the boat out to pick up your people, and I will talk about it if I have anything to say. ”

Although Wang Xingwang sympathized with the plight of Leng Dayou and others, he did not assert himself from the beginning.
