Chapter 201: Settle down
Unconsciously, on the way to Yueliao, the Meiberry family walked from summer to autumn.
Autumn in Yanzhou comes early.
At the beginning of August, the ground was yellow.
Throughout the summer, they spent the year in hardship and floods;
As the wind came out of the north, it gradually brought a chill;
As you get closer to the Liao, the more fields there are;
The surrounding colors have faded from the blue color of midsummer to the harvest yellow that is unique to autumn.
When he came to the outside of Yueliao City, Mei Berry got out of the car and lifted his hat, looked up at the earthy yellow and tall city wall, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
This towering city wall standing in the depths of the grassland is no worse than the Yunzhou Mansion City.
Looking at the soldiers patrolling the city, Plum Berry didn't know why she was full of security.
As if that's how a soldier should be.
On the contrary, it is the crazy criticism like Chen Yuan and the soldiers under his command that bring people fear.
After entering the city, compared with the tall and thick city wall outside the city, Yueliao County is indeed very "simple".
The whole prefecture is an earthy yellow color.
Yueliao County, not to mention Yunzhou Prefecture, Meiberry is no exaggeration to say that it is much worse than Jinbai County.
Although the system also explained to Mei Berry that the gray and yellow earthen houses in the county are made of stone on the inside, but the outside is painted with an extra layer of adobe.
Winters in Yunzhou are very cold, not to mention Yanzhou, which is further north.
Therefore, the walls of the houses built by the common people here are basically multi-layered and very thick.
The market here is not too big, and the plum berries that are sold are carefully scanned, and they are about the same level as Lihu Town before.
It's hard to judge.
It is said that Yueliao is an important county in Yanzhou, how can it look very ordinary?
However, compared to plum berries, Mei Youqian likes this simple taste very much.
"I just listened to the clamor of selling meat here, and the good mutton is more than ten wen a catty, which is more than one-third lower than the price in Yunzhou. After I got back and settled, I bought some mutton......"
Since entering the city, Mei Youqian can be regarded as listening to six ways and seeing all directions, and finally has a mouth - just think about what to eat tonight.
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at his wife, laughing non-stop.
Wei Meili glanced at him angrily, and said: "Buy more, everyone will get together in the evening, and those who have been sleeping in the open have to make up for it recently." ”
As she spoke, Wei Meili turned her head and stared at Mei Berry's small body again, as if the meat she had raised before was gone for a while.
Just when Mei Youqian said to eat, Mei Berry looked at Xue Lao on the side who was listening with his ears pricked up, compared to him, and then looking at Tian Qi's sparkling little eyes, he had already betrayed Xue Lao.
Plum Berry couldn't hold back her laughter.
"Would you like to eat the pot?"
Plum berries raise their hands, Yanzhou looks very dry after autumn, and mutton is the most suitable for autumn and winter nourishment.
The shopkeeper looked at the plum berries, and the relaxed atmosphere on their side naturally did not disturb.
The residential areas of Yue Liao are also very interesting, and the closer to the outer city and the Wengcheng, the larger the area occupied by each household.
You said that if it was a rich family, forget it, but you can't see how rich you are when you look at the shabby houses.
Mei Berry asked curiously about the situation over there, and the shopkeeper explained that there were actually more herdsmen over there.
They rarely go into the city throughout the year, but in the winter they have to herd their sheep and horses back to the city.
This is a little more restrictive than the herdsmen on the grassland who do as they please.
But that's fine.
At least, lamb is cheaper.
As the plum berries they saw when they went into the city,
The house of the three of them this time is a row of flat-headed small earthen houses with yards.
The name of the flat-headed small earthen house is still taken from the plum berry.
Like the houses that Plum Berry had seen before, the outermost part of the house they lived in could not hide from the adobe.
The four rooms were side by side, straight and straight, similar to the one their family lived in Jinshui Village.
The structure of the house is also clear, with a kitchen, a hall, and two bedrooms.
The only difference was the flat roof, and Plum Berry stood in the wider courtyard and looked at it, and there was a ladder next to the wall, which could be climbed.
Well, she thinks it's pretty good.
Standing in the courtyard, Mei Berry looked with satisfaction at the two horses presented by Jiubaoxuan who were grazing in the stable in the yard, and the mule cub next door who was still slapping the horse with its nostrils.
Plum Berry couldn't help laughing.
The mule cub is tall in the sour people's house.
And the battle chickens are not happy to live in the chicken coop at all, and wander around the yard, like a king patrolling the territory.
The fat tiger didn't pay attention to anyone, lying on the roof and enjoying the sunshine spa.
The leisurely nature of a few small animals in their own family is completely different from their family of three.
"Berry Treasure! Have you swept the floor outside? ”
"Ah, right now."
was called back to her senses by her mother, and Mei Berry continued to take a broom and began to sweep the floor.
Yueliao is not only dry, but also has a lot of wind and sand here.
They don't know when Jiubaoxuan made the plum berries in this house, but because the windows in the house were not closed, a lot of sand and soil accumulated on the kang and the ground, not to mention the yard.
Mei Berry's yard is in the middle, and next door is Mei You's family and Xue Lao's house.
Mei You's Mei Berry is not worried, but Xue Lao, how can he clean the house when he is so young with Tian Qi?
Plum Berry was worried, but the movement from next door told Plum Berry that she was thinking too much.
As far as Xue Lao's status is there, how can Jiubaoxuan ignore Xue Lao?
"Ah, where did you find this shelf, there is so much soil on it, hurry up and clean it, and go back and add a few more baskets.
Ah, and in the house, my old bones can't work, Tian Qi is still young, not like you who are tall and big...... Hurry up, otherwise how will I rest at night?
If the old man is in a bad mood, he won't dispense medicine for you during this time. ”
Mei Berry took a broom and peeked next door, very good, it was those guys from Jiubaoxuan who were buried in their old work.
The five big men and the big fists of the casserole can only take the rag and the broom with the broom at the moment.
Plum Berry couldn't help but feel pity for these people.
But she thought about it, Xue Lao was a figure at the level of a doctor, and he had good medical skills, and it seemed that Jiubaoxuan was doing something quite dangerous behind his back, so he thought that the medical boss was in charge, so this Jiubaoxuan really had to be well supplied.
By the way, share the firepower with her family.
Xue Lao's poisonous tongue is really not something that ordinary people can bear.
In the past few days, when she was in the carriage, Xue Lao actually chatted with her mother about her teaching problems, and opened her mouth and closed her mouth to ask her to follow the rules.
Then with her father's temperament, as well as her father's mouth without a door, Old Man Xue was so angry that he chased after her father and scolded her.
Don't play the scene of "Daddy walking around the car" too often.
Mei You saw that there was only Xue Lao, who was interested in Mei Berry and their family, and secondly, he had been quite idle recently.
If he has something to do, he doesn't have the heart to think about it, just like now, Mei Berry prays that Jiubaoxuan will let Xue Lao work every day.
After Mei Berry's house was cleaned, Mei Berry followed Mei Youqian to the market to buy vegetables and meat.
The climate of Yueliao is very dry, and the wind and sand are large.
When cleaning at home just now, Mei Youqian cultivated a small vegetable patch in the backyard, and if it weren't for the fact that Mei Berry's family had a portable spring water, he didn't know how many buckets of water he would have to pick to water the ground.
Therefore, when he arrived at the market, Mei Youqian not only had to buy meat, but also some vegetables.
There are still relatively few types of fresh vegetables here, nothing more than cabbage and radish, but to the surprise of plum berries, there are dried vegetables sold here, including many dried mushrooms.
As soon as Mei Berry inquired, he learned that there were still people here who had gone out of the city to pick mushrooms on the rolling mountains in the east.
The key is that the main ones on this Cangshan are those non-poisonous mushrooms such as fungus and hazelnut.
It's about the kind that Mei You won't pick poison when she goes up and closes her eyes.
After Mei Berry broke the news, when the three families ate mutton pot at Mei Berry's house that night, Mei Berry specially told Mei You about it.
Obviously, Mei You was also excited.
"I'll accompany you to pick mushrooms in the spring of next year~" With Mei You's invitation, Mei Berry took the initiative to bring it up.
The electronic map shows the distribution of products in this Cangshan Mountain, in which ginseng alone is enough to impress plum berries to go there.
Not to mention that in addition to ginseng, there are many other medicinal herbs on this mountain.
"Okay~" Mei You was very happy to hear that Mei Berry was going to accompany him up the mountain, but those are all next year's things.
"In a few days, we'll go to the city of Kan to have a look. This year's Sekishi opened on August 20, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
When she entered the city during the day today, Mei You noticed the place where the notice was posted at the gate of the city.
Plum Berry's eyes moved when she heard this.
Her cotton is finally coming~
Plum Berry: To summarize this year – either running or on the way.
Dongfang Tai: This king agrees!
Berry: Who are you? How many men are you, dare to answer me? Do I agree?
Dongfang Tai: ......
