Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Although there were some storms.

But Xu Wenyan’s dishes are selling better and better. It can only be said that the terrain occupied by Xu Wenyan is too important.

It is better to grow vegetables in the sandy land near the river.

Xu Wenyan is considering the issue of expansion. He wants to grow vegetables on that large piece of land.

However, what he earns here is still a small portion of the income, and the main source of income is still from the old industry in Fengxian County.

"Lao Xu, I see that watermelon is already very big, is it ready to eat?"

Luo Sanyuan had just returned from the melon field. With the dual intervention of pesticides and human intervention, there were no pests to be seen in the vegetable garden.

"Okay, how does the cassava on the edge look?"

Cassava is basically free-range and Xu Wenyan has never had to take care of it.

"It has sprouted. It will probably take some time for it to grow."

Xu Wenyan nodded and looked at the green in the distance. The scene now was completely different from when he first arrived.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from the months of hard work of Xu Wenyan and the villagers he hired.

It would be impossible for the four of them to turn this piece of sand into an oasis.

At this point, Xu Wenyan couldn't help but sigh that human labor in ancient times was even cheaper than that of cattle and horses.

He could earn back the wages he paid out in a month by selling vegetables for five or six days.

This includes grinding in the factory, watering and fertilizing the vegetable fields, and construction.

When they arrived at the watermelon field, Xu Wenyan picked one with the best appearance and cut it open on the spot. Sure enough, there was pink and white flesh inside.

You have to save seeds from this generation again to get watermelons with red flesh.

But it doesn’t matter, Xu Wenyan can also eat it today as long as Xiaohu and the others send the seeds over.

With the sunshine here, as long as you take good care of it, you can have watermelons in more than a month.

Xu Wenyan's taste was a bit ordinary, with only a slight sweetness, but fortunately there was plenty of juice, so he could just drink sweet water.

"So this is what the melon tastes like?" Luo Sanyuan took a bite and found the taste very unique, somewhat refreshing and sweet.

"The ones planted later are sweeter, and even pigs in our area won't eat them."

Luo Sanyuan looked at the melon in his hand and fell into deep thought...

"If the pigs don't eat it, I will. What kind of pig is so picky?"

Although the watermelons didn't taste very good, Xu Wenyan still picked several to reward the workers.

"Aman, come quickly."

Xu Wenyan put the melon down and cut it into several pieces skillfully: "Try it."

A'man put the melon into his mouth without hesitation: "It's delicious."

Aman had seen watermelon a long time ago and thought it was some kind of vegetable, but he didn't expect it to taste like this.

"Go and ask them to come eat together."

The workers stopped what they were doing, each took a piece of watermelon and started eating it. After the first bite, everyone's face was filled with excitement.

This melon is so thirst-quenching that it feels like drinking water when you chew it.

But everyone ate one piece and then dared not eat any more. The workers also knew that this was something Xu Wenyan took to the county to sell.

I guess one costs a lot of money.

It would be nice to let them have a taste.

Xu Wenyan only planted two acres of watermelons, which was not a lot.

If we don't feed the workers, we can only feed the horses and camels.

Even if it was such defective watermelon seeds, Xu Wenyan would not put them on the market because he was short of money.

He was desperate for money.

Although he has powerful weapons, it is not an easy task to launch a war across the country.

At least tens of thousands of troops are needed. As long as Xu Wenyan is given tens of thousands of troops, he can use the accumulated wealth to manufacture a batch of powerful weapons.

If we attack the cities one by one, we have a great chance.

Although the Lin Kingdom has a large number of troops, they are scattered. With 10,000 troops equipped with such extraordinary weapons, he has a chance even if he fights against ten times the number of troops.

There is still a great chance.

Xu Wenyan has recently been studying the structure of rifles. Although he has a direction, he said he cannot mass-produce them.

So what he had to do was to study the drawings, and he had other people to do the manufacturing.

A few months later, he would have to call Qian Sen over. Xu Wenyan knew very well the craftsmanship of this old senior.

The blacksmith in Lan County is also very good, but he is not someone I can trust.

But Chen Sanlin also learned blacksmithing for a few days when he was a child, so maybe he can do it?

As long as these watermelons are sold in Fengxian County, there will be no worries about making money.

I will have to cooperate with Jia Anqing later on, as I am too busy to handle everything with just his beverage shop.

Jia Anqing won't refuse.

Xu Wenyan took another bite of watermelon, still feeling worried.

He now had more than two hundred taels of silver in his hand, which was not enough just to customize the ironware, let alone transport sulfur to the mainland.

It would be great if he could find an iron mine, or ask Lin Zhengjie to sell him the government’s iron at a low price.

It's difficult to deal with either side.

Xu Wenyan sighed. It was really annoying to have no money, no matter what time it was.

"Why are you sighing?" Luo Sanyuan sat next to Xu Wenyan and nudged him with his shoulder.

Xu Wenyan glanced at him and said, "You are trying to imitate my way of speaking."

"I care about you. How can't you see that? You have no tact at all." Luo Sanyuan finished the melon in two bites and put his arm around Xu Wenyan's shoulders.

Pointing finger at Tianyang.

"No matter how much you sigh, the sun will never rise in the west and set in the east. Be happy, buddy."

Xu Wenyan reached out and grabbed Luo Sanyuan's hair: "Brother, I want to have some fun too. Okay, go have fun. I'm still busy."

After finishing today's work, Xu Wenyan will prepare to expand the vegetable garden.

This amount of space is totally not enough. In addition, Xu Wenyan also has to plant dozens of acres of wheat.

He will slowly develop this large piece of land.
