Chapter 146: Grab the swing
"Giggles...... "Laughter like silver bells came from the new lord's mansion, and under the large shade of the two large trees in the courtyard, Mei'er sat on the swing, swinging high and falling. The long skirt hunted like a butterfly fluttering in the air.
Just moved over yesterday, Jiang Xingchen made the swing and installed it this morning. The big tree was specially selected by him, and it had a very thick horizontal branch, just enough to hang a rope.
With the help of Jiang Xingchen, Mei'er felt like she was flying, breaking free from the shackles of the earth, and wanting to soar high in the sky, her heart was suddenly extremely open, and she was indescribably happy.
Nier, Xin'er, and Catwoman stood beside her, looking at Mei'er with a look of eagerness.
For a long time, the height of the swing began to decrease until it stopped. Jiang Xingchen stretched out his hand to stabilize the swing and helped Mei'er down.
"It's my turn!" Before Mei'er could stand firmly, three girls ran over, and the kitten girl was tall and fast, and jumped onto the swing with a swish.
"Sister Xiaoxiang is cheating!" Nier shouted dissatisfiedly, her fleshy cheeks bulging and her big eyes sparkling.
"Hehe!" Jiang Xingchen smiled, reached out and patted Nier's head, and said, "You are still young, you can't play this now, it will be dangerous!"
"Who said you can't have fun, Sister Xiaoxiang's kung fu is so good, just let her hold me!" Nier distinguished, seeing Mei'er playing so happily, she couldn't stand it anymore, how could she give up lightly.
"Sister Xiaoxiang is going to stand on the swing, and she has to hold the rope with both hands, how can she hold you...... Good girl, this swing is too big, I'll make you a little ...... when I go back."
After a pause, Jiang Xingchen thought for a moment. He said, "The lord will get you something else fun, Sister Xiaoxiang, they can't have fun!"
"Really?" asked Nile with a cute look on her face.
"Did what the lord said not count?" Jiang Xingchen rubbed Nier's little head.
"That's good, sir, hurry up!" The little girl finally laughed, stretched out her head and kissed Jiang Xingchen's face, turned her head and ran out.
Jiang Xingchen smiled and shook his head, turned to Mei'er and said, "You guys have fun, my brother still has something to do!"
Out of the lord's mansion, Jiang Xingchen climbed over the mountain beam and went to find those craftsmen.
The craftsmen are not leaving, and are building houses on the edge of the wasteland. These people are so happy, who knew that this trip was so big. When the new village was built, it was again a house for 300 people. Although it is not as complicated as building a village, they are all simple houses with large beds! But Lord Jiang also requires cleanliness and hygiene! Sewage ditches and public baths. Public toilets, big kitchen. Ondol is needed. The amount of work is not small, and it is estimated that it will take another month.
The money earned this time is as good as the sum of their five or six years, can they not be happy!
And at this moment, Jiang Xingchen found them again and asked them to finish the house. Then go to the original site of Qingshan Village, dig 10 holes more than three meters deep, and do a good job of waterproofing! In addition, we must dig a 10-meter-deep hole in the earth. In the same way, to do a good job of waterproofing, use the best materials.
A group of craftsmen looked at each other, and no one knew what the lord was digging a hole for, but when they heard Jiang Xingchen give the price, a group of craftsmen turned into kowtow worms, and their heads were called strong and powerful.
Watching a group of craftsmen leave happily, Jiang Xingchen shook his head and sighed: "This money is spent like flowing water!"
Turned around and went to see the sesame seeds and sunflowers, all of them are growing well, the way plants grow in this world is very different from the earth, and the dependence on vitality is greater than that of fertilizer, he has the introduction of the yuan control array to gather the vitality, of course the things planted are not bad, what is needed is to prevent insects and pull out weeds.
Returning to the village, I took another look at the sickle, and the seedlings already had the appearance of some sickles, and the thorns at the tips were also exposed.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Xingchen hurriedly instructed Du Rushan to let him keep a close eye on Gou Yao, and pay special attention not to let the children in the village come over to play to avoid poisoning.
In the end, Jiang Xingchen went to see the leeks again! If they were put on the earth, without soaking, Cui Miao and other operations, the leeks would definitely not grow. But here, in less than a month, the leeks have grown to more than ten centimeters.
"It is estimated that in about a month and a half, it will be able to grow to five leaves, and it will be able to be cut at that time......!
Thinking of the three fresh fillings, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but think of the shrimp, and pondered: "I don't know if there are river shrimp, if there are, this season is almost the same, go back and take Mei'er to catch river shrimp and play......
Recalling how to catch river shrimp, Jiang Xingchen walked back and would not arrive at the lord's mansion. But as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he was stunned, and the people of the earth-shattering mercenary group circled around the big tree, and let out exclamations from time to time.
"This is the situation of Shenma!" As soon as Jiang Xingchen's question came up, he immediately understood. The swing swung up and flew high, and the old man above was smiling and waving his hand downward.
"I'll go~" Jiang Xingchen's eyes instantly straightened: "Old thing, how old are you, still playing with this!"
Looking left and right, Jiang Xingchen soon found the charm with a puffed out mouth, a displeased heart, and the little cat girl who bared her teeth at the crowd, and these three girls were all squeezed outside.
"Old man, you've been swinging for a long time, it's time for me to swing!" Han Xiaowu's voice came from the crowd.
"Oops!" Jiang Xingchen almost ran out of breath, this thing is too funny, it's time for you to swing...... I think you're all enough, and you even grab the little girl's game!
"Brother!" Mei'er saw Jiang Xingchen at this time and ran over.
The little cat woman followed, rolled her eyes, and said loudly, "Brother Xingchen, what delicious food did you get today?"
"Whoosh!" As soon as the little cat girl's voice fell, the figure flashed, and the old man jumped off the swing, crossed the head of the earth-shattering mercenary group, and stood in front of Jiang Xingchen.
"Boy, you're back!" ......the old man smiled awkwardly, and then asked, "Have you made something delicious again?"
"New shaved ice!" Jiang Xingchen nodded with a smile and asked rhetorically, "Do you want to eat it?"
"Hmm!" As soon as he heard the new shaved ice, the old man's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again.
But then, he showed doubts again: "No, boy, do you have ice?"
"I'm not afraid of no ice, I'm going to let Xiao Wu and them run 2,800 miles and go to the snowy mountains to get ice and come back!"
"Emma~" Seeing Jiang Xingchen coming back, Han Xiaowu and the others, who were tiptoeing out of the door, stumbled and let out a wail.
"Sir, don't!" "Two thousand eight hundred miles, and with ice cubes on your back, such a hot day can definitely kill people.
"What, I'm afraid of being tired!" Jiang Xingchen smiled: "Didn't you have a good time just now, it's time for you to swing ......"
"Sir, we know it's wrong, it's okay! It's just that we can't help it when we look at the new gadget!" Han Xiaowu said with a sad face, although Jiang Xingchen has always been amiable, but I don't know if it is because there is too much aura on his body, every time he is opposite Jiang Xingchen, there is a pressure.
"What the lord said is reasonable, on such a hot day, you should eat more shaved ice, Xiao Wu and they can also be idle, but ......" Du Rushan said while walking in with a smile.
"Boss, how can you be like this, it's so unrighteous!" Han Xiaowu was just about to speak, but suddenly remembered that his heart was also squeezed out by them just now, and he immediately closed his mouth, and wailed in his heart: "Wanniao, I offended my two elder brothers...... Why is my curiosity so great?"
"That...... With their cultivation, even if they are sealed with a quilt, the ice will melt when they come back!" The old man had already seen that Jiang Xingchen was bent on cleaning up Han Xiaowu, and there was no new shaved ice at all.
"Yes, yes!" Han Xiaowu and the others nodded again and again, looking at the old man's eyes full of gratitude and kindness, they swore that in the future, the old man would come to them to play chess, and they would never refuse.
"That's right!" Jiang Xingchen nodded abruptly and said, "Since that's the case, then there's no need to go!"
"Yay!" Han Xiaowu smiled, and couldn't help but want to swing his fist.
But before his hand was raised, Jiang Xingchen said again: "I'm afraid I won't have time to cook in two days, and the old man's food will be handed over to you!"
Saying that, without giving everyone a chance to react, Jiang Xingchen picked up Mei'er with one hand and went back to the room.
A group of people in the courtyard were stunned for a long time, and Han Xiaowu and the old man let out a wail at the same time: "You are too poisonous~"
When it was noon, Mei'er didn't let her brother do it, she made noodles herself, and when she was cooking, she couldn't help laughing when she thought of the expressions of the old man and Han Xiaowu.
The noodles are out of the pot and passed twice with well water, and the seasoning is yellow sauce and served with fresh wild vegetables.
I have to say that the development of beans in this world is still very good, soy milk, yellow sauce, and soy sauce are available. The only pity is that there is no tofu, which makes Jiang Xingchen also a little regretful, when he solved the problem of bitter salt for the Great Qin Kingdom, why did he forget to use salt brine to try if he could order tofu.
Mei'er's skills are very good now, the noodles are very chewy, both clear and refreshing, Jiang Xingchen sucked and ate two large bowls.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Mei'er and Jiang Xingchen moved chairs to the shade of the trees in the courtyard, and fanned the hemp leaf fan to enjoy the coolness.
"Brother, I really didn't expect you to recruit people from the Orc Alliance!" Mei'er turned her head sideways and looked at Jiang Xingchen with burning eyes, she really didn't expect that her brother would find another way to recruit people from the Orc Alliance.
"We have to open up wasteland, dig ditches, grow vegetables, and manage ...... If you recruit people from the empire, you will have to go up to at least 500 people, and now that you are busy farming, it is too cost-effective to recruit people at a high price!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Three hundred is not a lot, and we have built new villages and temporary houses...... Brother, if the money is not enough, let's slow down the development, that piece of land will be planted again next year, anyway, it is already midsummer, after the wasteland, how can I still have time to grow vegetables!"
"Slow down!" Jiang Xingchen smiled and shook his head: "Our territory has only expanded for ten miles! My plan is to go a hundred miles to the east, all the way to the vast territory of the Chengxiang Marquis' territory, and merge it into the Xingchen Territory......" (To be continued......)
