Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Seeing this, Lin Yinan hurriedly called him, "Brother Afu, don't throw it away, that thing is edible!"

"Really?" Hearing that it was edible, Lin Fu looked at Lin Yinan with sparkling eyes.

Lin Yinan nodded seriously, "Really? These are river clams. You have to pry open their hard shells. The meat inside is delicious when used to make soup."

A nearby villager lamented, "I stepped on several of them just now, and I thought they were rocks."

"It's okay, we'll pick it up slowly after the water is drained." Lin Fu laughed.

Thinking of what he saw in his uncle's fish pond when he was a child, Lin Yinan quickly leaned over to see if there were any snails clinging to the edge of the pond.

"Girl, what are you looking at?"

Afraid that she would lose her balance, Qianxia held her arm tightly, not daring to let go for a moment.

Lin Yinan pointed at a few black things by the pond and said to Yun San, "Yun San, pick up those snails and show them to me."

Yun San used a protruding stone on the side, stretched out his long arm, and a few snails fell into his hand.

Lin Yinan picked them up and took a look. Yes, they were indeed snails, each one was about the size of her thumb.

"Girl, can this thing be eaten?" Qianxia looked at the snails in Lin Yinan's hand in confusion.

"Yes, pick it up and place it in clean water for two days, cut off its butt with pliers, and then stir-fry it with spices. It's delicious."

Lin Yinan said this while recalling the taste of snails in his memory.

In the past, snails were a must-order dish for summer supper. At that time, I and a few good classmates would always go to the food stalls near the school, order a plate of fried snails and a few skewers of barbecue, and chat with a few bottles of beer until midnight.

Unfortunately, those have become memories deep in my mind.

The villagers who had not yet entered the water took the initiative to take the snails from her hand, and two or three of them happily picked snails along the edge of the pond with buckets.

In the end, nearly a thousand kilograms of fish were caught from the two ponds, mostly crucian carp, bighead carp and grass carp. Three full wooden buckets of snails were picked up, and two sacks of river clams were collected.

Lin Yinan asked Zhang to braise the big fish and fry the smaller fish in oil until even the bones were crispy.

The few small shrimps were picked up and cooked separately for the children, and the snails and river clams were raised for just two days before being eaten.

Zhang felt sorry for the hard-earned meat and fish, so she divided it into four meals and ate them every few days.

Everyone saw that Lin Yinan did not hide anything.

On this day, Lin Yinan instructed Lin Fu in copying down the planting and management methods of various crops in the county government office.

Lin Xiaomei rushed in crying, "Sister Anan, come and see what happened to our chickens and ducks. Several of them died in the past two days for some unknown reason."

After she finished speaking, she started to cry in pain. Seeing that she was sweating all over, Lin Fu quickly stood up and poured her some water.

The weather in the south is changeable. It rained two days ago, and today the sun is shining brightly again. It is really hot and stuffy in the house.

Lin Yinan fanned her with a fan, "Don't cry, when did the chickens and ducks start dying?"

Lin Xiaomei put down the cup, raised her left arm without a palm, and wiped the tears and sweat from her face with her sleeve.

"It rained a couple of days ago, and it doesn't look very energetic."

"Come on, I'll go take a look with you." Lin Yinan said as he stood up, holding the table.

Lin Fu quickly shouted inside, "Qianxia, ​​come out quickly, the girl wants to go out."

Lin Yinan stood at the door and waited for Qianxia for a while. Now that she was in poor health, Qianxia was ordered by Yun Mo not to leave her side even for a moment.

Qianxia hurried out from the backyard with wet hands. She wiped the water on her hands on her lower back, stepped forward to support Lin Yinan's arm, and followed Lin Xiaomei out the door.

As if she had thought of something, she turned around and said to Lin Fu who was following behind her, "Lin Fu, go to the back and call Doctor Lu to come and see what's going on."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Lin Fu turned around and ran to the backyard of the county government office.

Lin Xiaomei's eyes were red, and her wheat-colored skin was covered with sweat. "Sister Anan, does Doctor Lu also treat livestock?"

"I think so. I saw Yun Mo also asked him to treat the horse." Lin Yinan said confidently.

Doctor Lu was dragged by Lin Fu to the chicken coop. He looked at Lin Yinan who was looking at him expectantly, and his mind was filled with black lines.

He's a doctor, not a veterinarian!

The day before yesterday, he was dragged by Yun Mo to see a horse, the day before yesterday he was dragged by Lin Shuo to see a cow, yesterday he was dragged by Old Lady Zhao to see a pig, and today he was dragged to see the chickens and ducks.

The horse's hoof was injured, the cow had diarrhea from eating the wrong food, and the pig refused to eat. He was just an ordinary doctor, so how could he treat livestock?

"Doctor Lu, please take a look. Why did these chickens and ducks die for no apparent reason?"

The light in the chicken coop was dim, and Lin Yinan did not see the unpredictable expression on Doctor Lu's face.

Doctor Lu opened his mouth, but could not say no, so he could only say helplessly, "I'll try my best."

The chicken coop was large but not too high, so the tall and strong Dr. Lu had to bend over to get in.

Lin Yinan poked his head inside and saw that the chicken coop had been cleaned very cleanly by Lin Xiaomei and the others. The smell was not strong, but it looked a little damp.

After a while, Doctor Lu came out.

"How is it, Doctor Lu?" Lin Xiaomei stepped forward and asked anxiously.

Doctor Lu frowned and looked around. "Where's the chicken?"

"My sister and Sister Arong chased them out to find food."

"Did the chicken's legs become weak at the beginning?" asked Doctor Lu.

Lin Xiaomei nodded frantically, as if Doctor Lu had already taken the chicken's pulse.

"Yes, yes. Then he couldn't walk anymore and died soon after."

"It rained a few days ago and the house was too damp. It was caused by typhoid fever."

It was the first time that Lin Yinan heard that chickens and ducks could also catch typhoid fever. Doctor Lu was indeed amazing.

Then I heard Lin Xiaomei ask, "Doctor Lu, what should we do?"

"We need to shovel away the damp soil on the ground, then light a few fires in this room to warm it up, then dig some dry soil and mix it with quicklime, and spread it on top. During these days when the chickens and ducks are sick, we need to feed them cooked food."

Doctor Lu was about to leave when he spoke, and Lin Xiaomei chased after him and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Doctor Lu!"

Doctor Lu seemed to be worried. He stopped and said solemnly, "The chickens and ducks that died of illness need to be buried somewhere. Their meat cannot be eaten."

"What would happen if people ate it?"

"Of course you're going to get sick."

Lin Xiaomei slapped her forehead and ran to the canteen, "Oh, I'll go to the canteen to get it from Aunt Zhang."

Doctor Lu shook his head upon seeing this and walked back with his hands behind his back.

Lin Yinan was worried, so he specifically told Lin Fu, "Ah Fu, go and check to make sure Auntie doesn't cook the dead chickens and ducks. Explain it to her."

"Okay, girl." Lin Fu responded and walked quickly towards the cafeteria.

As soon as Lin Yinan and Qianxia stepped into the county government office, Lin Fu came back.

He and Lin Xiaomei arrived in time. Zhang had already boiled water and was preparing to remove the hair. Fortunately, Doctor Lu was called in and a disaster was avoided.

It seems that I have to popularize health and safety knowledge to everyone later. Lin Yinan made a note of this.

Yunzhou Prefecture.

After finishing the work, Yun Er took Yun Yu to a restaurant for a good meal. Before they reached the restaurant, they were stopped by two women with their maids.

"You two stop right there!"

Yun Er quickly scanned the two men, one of whom looked very familiar, and his mind was working rapidly.

Thinking of something, he raised his lips in a mocking tone, "It turned out to be you!"

One of them was wearing a rose-red dress embroidered with bright flowers, her hair was full of shining gold hairpins, the heavy hair accessories pressed her neck forward, and she had four or five large gold bracelets on her wrists, as if she was afraid that others didn't know that she was rich.

It was Yu Qiutao who was brought into the Yu family as a concubine.

The other person's dress was no less impressive. Although her clothes did not have bright flowers, the colors were just as bright, making her originally round figure even more plump. The hairpins on her head were mostly pearls and agates, and more than half of her ten chubby jade fingers had rings on them. She was Yu Xunmei, the eldest daughter of the Yu family.

"Oh, long time no see!" Yu Qiutao looked at Yun Er provocatively.

At this time, Yu Xunmei was staring at Yun Er. Hearing this, she turned around and asked Lin Qiutao, her eyes full of eagerness, "Do you know each other?"

Yun Er got goose bumps when she looked at him. He glanced at Yu Qiutao coldly and said, "I don't know you well."

"That's right! He is just a servant of the Yun family. If the young lady likes him, she can just go to the Yun family and ask for him. He is just a servant. I think the Yun family will not give the Yu family this face."

Yu Qiutao covered her mouth and giggled flatteringly. Her laughter was shrill, just like an old hen that had just laid an egg.

"Are you serious?" Yu Xunmei raised her eyebrows, and her eyes, which were squeezed into a slit by the fat on her face, were shining brightly.

Yun Yu grew up in Yunzhou Prefecture and knew the character of the eldest daughter of the Yu family. Not only was she arrogant and domineering since she was young, but she also kept a lover in her boudoir before she even reached the age of 15.

When I was young, I knew to hide it a little, but as I got older, I became more and more unrestrained. If I saw a boy I liked on the street, I would use any means to get him back.

If they encounter someone with a strong personality, they will be beaten and disabled at best, or tortured to death and thrown into a mass grave at worst.

"Miss Yu, don't believe the slander. This young man is not a servant in this mansion." Yun Yu hurriedly explained.

Yu Xunmei glanced at him and said sarcastically, "You are a concubine's son, and you are not worthy to talk to me."

Yun Yu choked and her face turned red with anger.

Yu Qiutao, who was standing nearby, lowered her eyes when she heard this. Her hand quietly touched her abdomen, and a calculation flashed across her eyes.

Yun Er felt extremely disgusted by Yu Xunmei's naked gaze, and turned away, pulling Yun Yu.

He has seen the prosperity of the world, so how could he be attracted by such a dissolute woman?

Only after sitting down in the restaurant's private room did Yun Yu suppress the anger in his heart.

"Yun Er, Yu Xunmei has taken a fancy to you, and she will not give up."

Yun Er held the cup and poured him some tea. "If she's brave enough, just come at me. I want to see what tricks she can use."

"The Yu family is now very powerful, so it is better for us not to have a direct conflict with them. When we go back, I will ask my father to prepare the goods as soon as possible, and we will go back early."

"also."

Yun Er agreed on the surface, but what he was thinking in his heart was that if that eldest lady of the Yu family came to provoke him again, he would definitely not show mercy.

When the two returned to the Yun Mansion, they were taken to Yun Zhenchuan's study by the housekeeper.

Looking at Yun Er, who is tall, handsome and elegant.

Retracting his gaze, Yun Zhenchuan said in a deep voice, "Two more batches of goods will arrive at the farm outside the city the day after tomorrow. I have already notified them that the goods do not need to enter the city. You can go directly to the farm to meet them when the time comes. You should go back early."

"Father, is there someone from the Yu family coming?" Yun Yu asked.

Yun Zhenchuan glanced at him and said, "Your father will take care of this matter." Then he thought of something and said, "I heard that a school has been opened there. You should bring your wife and children with you and let Anshi take care of you."

"Yes."

Although life in Longtan County was hard, they lived happily and peacefully. After hesitating for a while, Yun Yu finally plucked up the courage to say, "Father, how about I bring my aunt to Longtan and let her take care of Yun Kang?"

"Bang!" A teacup smashed into pieces at Yun Yu's feet, the tea splashed on his robe, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

Yun Zhenchuan shouted angrily, "I'm not dead yet! If you can't control that little bastard, tell him to go back to Yunzhou Prefecture and don't even think about letting the Kong family leave Yun Prefecture."

Yun Er moved to the side, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible to avoid being implicated.

Yun Yu knelt down hurriedly, "Father, please calm down. It was your son who overstepped his boundaries."

"Do you think that now that you are strong enough, you can take your aunt out to enjoy a good life?"

Yun Zhenchuan stared at him with wide eyes. This son has always been a thoughtful person. How could he not know what he was planning?

Yun Yu buried his head heavily on the ground, "Son, don't dare!"

"What are you afraid of? Get out!" Yun Zhenchuan was so angry that his chest heaved.

"My son is wrong, please calm down, father!"

After he finished speaking, Yun Yu kowtowed heavily again, then stood up and slowly left the study.

As the two walked out of the study, they heard a loud noise of something being smashed inside the study.

Kong, who was standing not far outside the study, was in tears. Yun Yu quickly stepped forward to support her and wanted to speak to comfort her, but Kong hurriedly covered his mouth and pulled her back to the backyard.

Yun Er stood there for a while until there was no sound of anything being smashed in the study room, only Yun Zhenchuan's panting.

He just sneered. Is it difficult to admit that you are not as good as others? He brushed off the non-existent dust on his sleeves and turned around to leave in style.

Yun Zhenchuan slumped down on a chair in the study, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

Yunyu, who had been away for more than two months, came back this time and his work and ability had surpassed those of his eldest son, whom he had personally taught.

He had to admit that his grandfather had really taught his eldest brother's children very well.

Yu Xunmei sent someone to look for Yun Zhenchuan, but after being rejected, he asked someone to guard outside Yun's mansion at all times.

Since the direct approach didn't work, she decided to use the covert approach and get the person first.

Yun Zhenchuan didn't want Yun Er to get into trouble in Yunzhou Prefecture, nor did he want to offend the Yu Mansion, so he didn't allow him to go out again.

Yun Er knew that Yu Xunmei's men had been guarding outside the Yun Mansion, so he came up with a plan and prepared to get rid of them before leaving.

Leaving Yun Yu behind, he put on a crescent-colored robe, quietly climbed over the wall and went out, deliberately showing his face in front of the spies from the Yu Mansion, and then slowly walked all the way out of the city.

"Report to the young lady, the young master of the Yun Mansion is out today!"

Yu Xunmei, who was drinking with his lover in the garden, suddenly stood up and threw away the wine glass in his hand.

"Go and prepare the horses!"

She hurried out of the yard, pointing at the guards guarding the yard.

"You, and the rest of you, follow me."

Yu Qiutao came down the corridor with her maid and asked hurriedly, "Miss, where are you going?"

Yu Xunmei didn't even look at her and hurriedly left with his men.

Yun Er took one step forward and stopped every two steps. Finally, when he was about to reach the city gate, he caught a glimpse of a carriage speeding towards him. Yu Xunmei was sitting on the carriage's back. He turned around and smiled at her.

He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a handsome face with red lips and white teeth. He was wearing moon-white clothes, which made him look tall and slender. He had an elegant and refined temperament, like a banished immortal from the Nine Heavens.

Yu Xunmei was stunned. Although she had been with countless men, none of them could compare to him.
