Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

Chapter 508 It’s snowing. Let’s warm up around the fire and roast potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The next day, Xia Lanxin's maid prepared medicine for her and served her to take it. She also held a box in the box.

"What is this?" Xia Lanxin asked strangely, why did she bring a box with her when taking medicine.

The corners of the maid's mouth couldn't help but raised, and she smiled happily. She said: "Miss, this is what Doctor Wen sent. He said he was afraid of the bitterness of the medicine, so he specially found candy for the lady. After drinking the medicine, take one. , it’s sweet.”

The last three words were spoken very slowly, with teasing eyes.

Xia Lan was startled for a moment, and then her face turned red. She opened the box and found colorful candies inside, which were very beautiful.

She had never seen such candies in the North, not even in the capital.

I pinched one and put it in my mouth. It was very sweet and tasted like fruit.

The maid continued to chatter at the side: "Miss, it seems that Dr. Wen is not completely heartless." Whose doctor dispenses medicine and cares whether the patient is suffering or not? This must be interesting to their lady as well. .

Xia Lanxin was eating sweets in her mouth, and her heart gradually became sweeter.

really?

In the days that followed, Xia Lan was at ease recovering from her injuries. From time to time, Wenjun would take the opportunity of delivering medicine to bring other things, either snacks or candies. Occasionally, he would also bring a book, saying it was for her to read to pass the time.

As for where the book came from, Wen Yao suffered a lot. The Journey to the West and other stories he had copied so hard before were now used by Wen Jun to make the girl happy.

But even so, every time the two of them met, they only looked at each other from a distance, but with that look, even the maid noticed that it seemed a little different from before.

In this way, they stayed in the north for another month. As the weather got colder and colder, it finally snowed in the north.

"It's snowing so hard." Wen Yao lay on the window and looked at the snow outside the window. After a while, there was snow in the yard.

There was a charcoal pot burning in the house, which was quite warm.

She and Li Yi had not been idle for more than a month. They almost visited all the villages near the northern border. It was only during this trip that they discovered that there were so many families raising sheep in the northern border. Almost every household had one.

Wen Yao and Li Yiyi combined their efforts and asked Yongchang Hou to find a trustworthy merchant in the north. From now on, this merchant would only collect wool and various mountain products, including well-made felts, and then deliver them to the northern border. Beijing.

Over in the capital, Wen Yao also sent a letter to Qiu Rongrong, and sent her the wool that someone had made before, as well as a knitting stitch album.

It didn't take long for me to receive a reply from Qiu Rongrong, which was just five words: "This business is done."

The two of them were busy doing business, and Wen Xiuyi was not idle either. In more than a month, he taught almost all the methods of improving the soil quality to the local farmers who he and Yongchang Marquis selected who were good at farming. The methods of using various fertilizers were also taught.

It's too late this year. When spring comes, in addition to the original wheat, millet and so on, all the wasteland that can be cultivated will be planted with potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Soil quality cannot be improved in one or two years, and the yield and results of new grains cannot be seen in one or two years, but in the end we must have a good start.

As for the father and son's proposal to let the people in the north grow their own wild ginseng, not many people dared to do so.

After all, it’s not like no one has tried it before, but unfortunately they all failed. Not only that, but they also lost everything. Although the court cares about their technology, they still have to pay the real cost themselves, so many people don’t dare to risk their lives. Come and make a bet.

Wen Yao and Wen Jun spent this time together, looking through almost all the books on ginseng planting techniques that could be bought in the space. Not only was it 100% sure, but it was at least 70% to 80% sure that it could be done.

Now, the only thing missing is the first person to eat the crab.

When Yongchang Hou knew about this, he waved his hand directly: "As long as someone dares to try it, the Zhenbei General's Mansion will protect them. If they make money, it will be good. If they lose money, the General's Mansion will support them."

Finally, the village chiefs of two villages came to the door and expressed their willingness to give it a try. Moreover, the mountains surrounding their villages were the most suitable place for growing wild ginseng. It can be said that they have the right location and people.

Wenjun and Wenyao began to teach the villagers how to grow wild ginseng, and recorded all the techniques they had developed and kept them in the General's Mansion. In the future, if people from the two villages met someone who didn't understand, they could come directly to the General's Mansion to borrow them. Book.

After all, this matter is not something that can be achieved in the short term. It can take as little as one year or as long as several years. The villagers of these two villages also gambled on the future, so they dared to follow them. Wen Yao and Wen Jun were naturally interested. Wen Jun was so busy every day that he had to go to the military camp to teach the military doctors on their medical skills every few days.

It was still snowing, so the family had time to sit down and hide in the house all day long.

After lying down for a while, Wen Yao quickly retracted and closed the window. It was too cold.

In the room, Wen Xiuyi, Wen Jun, Li Yi, Xunfeng, and Wang Zhao were sitting together next to a charcoal stove. There was an iron shelf on the stove, and sweet potatoes and thickly sliced ​​potatoes were roasting on it. There were several stacks of potatoes beside them. The dipping sauce includes prepared chili noodles and dipping water.

Wen Xiuyi took a tong and turned it over from time to time to prevent it from being burned.

"I don't know where Mu Li and the others have gone, but be sure not to encounter heavy snow. It will be difficult to walk on the road if there is heavy snow." Wen Yao said, sitting cross-legged on the soft couch next to the window.

Xunfeng couldn't wait any longer, so he turned his hand and shrank from the heat, saying: "Miss Yaoyao, don't worry, they have been walking for half a month, and they should be out of the northern border now. Although it is cold over there, it is still cold." It won’t snow so early.”

Wen Yao felt relieved now. Mu Li was escorting her first batch of wool and northern specialties back to the capital. She didn't want anything to go wrong on the way.

Seeing that they were all cooked, Li Yi quickly took out his chopsticks and placed the two most golden roasted potatoes on the plate in front of him, and then brought them to the small table next to Wen Yao along with the dipping sauce.

Wen Xiuyi curled his lips and hummed softly when he saw his attentive look.

Wen Yao didn't think anything was wrong, so he thanked him, cooled it down a little, and dipped it in the chili noodles. It tasted delicious.

Wenjun lowered his head and picked a few roasted pieces, and then picked a roasted soft sweet potato, put it on the plate, put it in the food box next to it, and carried it away.

Xunfeng joked heartlessly: "The young master went to deliver food to Miss Xia again."

Wenjun blushed, said yes and went out.

Xunfeng chuckled and said to Wen Xiuyi: "Uncle, it seems that when I return to Beijing in a while, my subordinates will be able to ask for a drink."

Wen Xiuyi was very satisfied with his son's enlightenment, and immediately raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I can't do without you."

A few people here were eating and drinking. On the other side, Wen Jun was carrying a food box. He was afraid that the contents inside would get cold, so he walked very quickly. Fortunately, it was right next to Wen Yao's yard, so he could reach it just after turning a corner.

The maid saw Wenjun coming from the corridor and quickly informed Xia Lanxin.

"Miss, Doctor Wen is here again."

Xia Lanxin suddenly became nervous, even more nervous than the first time she went to the battlefield to kill an enemy, but she quickly calmed down.

Today, she must find out the result.
