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

The autumn wind is bleak.

The vast Gobi Desert is filled with blowing sand and dust.

Only this small oasis has not been swallowed up.

For the next month, Xu Wenyan worked in the blacksmith shop with the four blacksmiths.

The principle is known, but the materials and quantities used still need to be figured out for a while. In fact, the gun currently made is already usable, and a few more shots can kill people.

However, there is still a gap between this and the true equality of all beings, and we must continue to make progress.

During this period, Mr. Jiang and Doctor Hong both visited Xu Wenyan once.

Mr. Jiang first talked about the dried apricot business. Dried apricots sell quite well in Central China, and some restaurants also import them, but most of the people who can afford them are still rich people.

Moreover, if the dried apricots were to be made in the Central Plains, the cost would be ridiculously high. The border has sufficient sunshine hours and the sun is big enough, so the apricots can be dried quickly.

However, there are many rainy days in the Central Plains, and the apricots may not be dried out if they are taken out to dry. If the cooked apricots are not dried within two or three days, they will be useless.

Mr. Jiang wanted to build a large factory in Yili and consulted Xu Wenyan about the share of the profits. He felt that 30% was a bit too much.

Xu Wenyan would naturally not agree to this. It wouldn't cost a lot of money to build a large factory there, and the profit was quite high. Even if the commercial taxes were withheld, Mr. Jiang could still make at least 50%.

After that, Xu Wenyan had no choice but to give up since he couldn't convince her anymore. He then started talking about the branch in Beijing and the transportation of black currants.

Xu Wenyan planned to make original jam and pack it in jars, but the transportation season had to be in autumn and winter.

According to a rough estimate, Xu Wenyan can earn at least 5,000 taels a month from Mr. Jiang. As more branches are opened in the future, he can earn even more.

Xu Wenyan has come up with a lot of new products these days, and these prescriptions were sent to Jia Anqing through the government post station. Xu Wenyan believed that no one would dare to touch the Jia family's letters.

Then my second uncle and others will hand it over to the branch in Beijing. Although it is troublesome, the main product still has to be handed over to our family.

What Doctor Hong had was naturally sulfur. Xu Wenyan asked him for a lot more. He had been mobilizing his connections recently, and his sulfur had been cleared out by Xu Wenyan.

The rest can only be given to Xu Wenyan.

As long as the problem can be solved, Xu Wenyan can wait for a few days. If Doctor Hong can't solve it, he can still go to the omnipotent Master Jiang.

..........

Before I knew it, there were more and more people at home, and it was quite interesting to watch a few silly people bickering at home.

Fortunately, the house above has been built and can accommodate everyone.

The advantage of having more people is that everything can be done much faster, but Xu Wenyan will not disband the people who come to work in the village just because of this.

Xu Wenyan sent half of the people brought by Fu Jian to the mine, and their carriages and camels were to be confiscated.

In the future, Fu Jian will be able to exchange lessons with Xu Dashan and others.

However, Xiao Luo and Xu Dashan have to stay away from each other, and there must be someone in the mine who he can completely trust.

"elder brother!"

A'man came riding on a horse, looking like he was in a hurry for something.

"Slow down, don't fall."

"Brother, the village chief said someone is looking for you, like that."

"Find me?"

Xu Wenyan was a little confused as there were too many people looking for him recently.

Without thinking too much, I got on my horse and followed Aman. It must be a big deal that the village chief came to inform me specifically.

When we were about to reach the village chief's house, we saw Bayibu talking to a soldier.

"Come here, Xiao Xu. The government officials are looking for you."

Now the name Chen Ping'an is a thing of the past. Xu Wenyan explained it clearly to the village chief and said that it was a name change. The villagers here would not care so much.

It's just a name anyway.

"Xu Wenyan, right? Lord Lin said that someone you wanted to meet has come to the county, and he asked you to prepare a banquet at home to welcome them."

"Who do I want to see?"

But the next moment Xu Wenyan understood something: "Okay, I understand. Thank Master Lin for me."

As he spoke, Xu Wenyan took out a tael of silver from his pocket and gave it to the soldier. He must have come here at full speed.

Seeing that he was about to refuse, Xu Wenyan forced it to him: "Take it."

Xu Wenyan rode back in a hurry.

"Brother Chen! Kill the sheep!"

"it is good."

Chen Sanlin put down his hoe and walked towards the sheep pen.

"Huh? Why does Xu Wenyan want to kill the sheep? It's still a while before my birthday." Huo Min followed behind Xu Wenyan and kept asking questions.

"Come in advance, okay, my dear."

Xu Wenyan didn't have time to pay attention to him now, so he picked up the basket and walked towards the vegetable garden.

But Huo Min was a little confused. Normally, shouldn't he have scolded him at this time? What happened today? He even called him Dabao.

"Xu Wenyan, this is not right..."

After a while of arguing, Xu Wenyan's patience was exhausted. He didn't want to swear today.

"I'm the Shudao Mountain. If you don't want to help me, I'll have to climb farther."

Watching Xu Wenyan walk away, Huo Min let out a long sigh: "Is this right? I thought you were possessed by a ghost."

As the sound of horse hooves rang out in the distance, Xu Wenyan also came to greet them at the entrance of the yard early in the morning.

As for why he didn't go to the village entrance, Xu Wenyan didn't know. Maybe he was a little afraid to face it.

This feeling of wanting to see someone but being afraid to meet them is really subtle.

"Uncle!"

Chen Dong almost stood on the carriage, and Mrs. Luo behind him held him with one hand, afraid that he would fall off.

Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Wenyan felt his heart beating many times faster.

After getting off the carriage, little Chen Dong was led by Rongrong and Chen Xiaohua and ran towards Xu Wenyan.

Xu Wenyan squatted down and stretched out his hands.

At this time, a black body jumped down from the carriage. After all, the two-wheel drive one could not beat the four-wheel drive one.

The black bear barked twice and rubbed and licked Xu Wenyan's body, it was very excited.

"Wu...Uncle...I missed you so much."

Xu Wenyan hugged the three little ones, his eyes already filled with tears.

For a moment, no words could express Xu Wenyan's feelings.

The three children hugged Xu Wenyan tightly, as if they were afraid of being separated again.

"Dong'er has grown taller, Rongrong and Xiaohua have become prettier, too. They are both little beauties."

Xu Wenyan reached out and wiped Chen Dong's tears: "We are little men, don't cry."

"Uncle, Xiaodong is very obedient... I can write now, and I have learned the arithmetic you taught me. I can write my own name, your name, and my uncle's and sister's names... Xiaodong is not lazy."

"Well, uncle knows that our Xiaodong is a smart child."

Xu Wenyan slowly stood up and looked at Rong Xiaoliu in front of him. His eyes were red and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xu Wenyan.

Xu Wenyan reached out and pinched his shoulder: "We, Xiaoliu, will be adults in the future. You have to protect your brothers and sisters, okay?"

"Yes, I know, Brother Xu."

She ruffled his hair and said, "Eat more. You've become a little thin."

"I...I ate a lot, Brother Xu, we lived well over there, Brother Xu...we ate well."

Xu Wenyan nodded, feeling as if something was blocked in his throat, making it difficult to swallow.

"Well, you are all good kids. Come on in. Uncle has prepared a lot of delicious food."

Before Xu Wenyan sent the children away, Xiaohu rushed over from a distance and hugged Xu Wenyan.

"Brother Xu."

"You're so heavy." Xu Wenyan held Xiaohu with both hands, feeling his shoulders getting wet: "You kid, don't even ask your brother Sanlin, be careful he might beat you up."

"I'm not afraid."

Xiaohu sobbed twice: "I miss you guys so much. My life is so boring without you."

"Haha, you're still bored with Yuyin by your side."

"That...that's different."

Chen Sanlin walked forward, and the little ones also came forward to hug him. After all, Chen Sanlin was the closest person to Chen Dong and Xiaohua, and their feelings were different after all.

"Brother Xu, he talks about you every day and even brings me to see you many times." Yuyin said with a chuckle.

Xu Wenyan's eyes curved: "Thank you for your hard work."

Today's welcoming banquet was quite sumptuous. Even Aman's table was moved in and was filled with food.

Several little guys sat next to Xu Wenyan. Xu Wenyan picked up food for one of them, then another, even Xiaohu.

The main feature is to soak up both rain and dew.

The feeling of being an old father is really subtle.

In addition to the little ones, two elders also came, one was Qian Sen, and the other was Luo Sanyuan's mother.

"Mr. Qian."

"Hehe, Xu boy, my old bones are about to fall apart after sitting in the car for such a long time." Qian Sen said with a smile, squinting his eyes.

Xu Wenyan made an expression that said "I understand."

"There's goat's milk wine in there. I've prepared it for you."

"Hey, then I won't be polite."

Qian Sen was not polite and started looking for wine as soon as he entered the house.

"Xu Wenyan, this is my mother."

Luo Sanyuan walked up to Xu Wenyan, half-hugged him and introduced him to him.

"Hello, auntie." Xu Wenyan greeted politely.

Mrs. Luo had already realized that her son was most likely hanging out with this fair and handsome young man.

"You must be Xu Wenyan, you are so handsome, auntie, I like you very much."

"Auntie has won many awards. We are all very happy that Auntie can come."

"I just don't want to disturb you."

After chatting with this rather enthusiastic Mrs. Luo for quite a while, I got to know all of them and found that they were all easy to get along with.

However, Xiaoman and Rong Xiaoliu were still a little surprised to see Wang Zeren here.

I didn’t think much about it.
