Eating big melon is so refreshing

The news of the discovery of the Shouchun underground palace spread across the country like wildfire. Previously, people had speculated that there were coffins, gold, silver, jewelry, zombies, and ghosts in the underground palace, but in the end, there was nothing.

The underground palace in Shouchun was like a storage warehouse. Some people found rice husks and fire left inside, proving that someone had lived there before.

The underground palace has two entrances, or one entrance and one exit. When danger comes, you can enter from the town of Shouchun or from Dingyang Village in the suburbs. It is large enough for the people of the entire Shou Village to hide inside.

“There are only two hills in Shouchun. The number of wild beasts here is less than one percent of that in Phoenix Mountain. We just need to clear them out twice more.” Young Master Mingyue took a sip of tea, which tasted a bit bitter. He was truly a talented person to make the leaves of Lingcha so unpalatable.

"Yangming Mountain is a natural granary. If we make good arrangements here, the bumper grain harvest can be used to reinforce Guoxiang County. They are quite good at making dried fruits, so it is better to store more grain for use in years of disaster." Xiao Chunya was eating loquats. These were 3000 kilograms of loquats shipped back by Xingchen Express, and the person who shipped the goods was Meng Haoran.

"This is all that's left after just half a day?" After finishing his business, Fat Luo turned around and found only half a basket of loquats left. He was dumbfounded.

"I sent 1000 kilograms to Eunuch Feng, he likes to eat loquats." Xiao Chunya said, "When loquats are on the market on a large scale, I will send 5000 kilograms to the imperial capital for the young master of Yingguo Mansion, 5000 kilograms to Jiangning Mansion for the fat man, and kilograms to Fourth Uncle. Many people have placed orders, so there can be no room for error."

Xiao Qiulin raised her eyebrows and said, "Fat sister, I can't find so many rice grains to talk to them at once."

"Meng Haoran said that as long as it's grain, it can be potato vermicelli, sweet potato vermicelli, or potatoes. It doesn't have to be rice or wheat."

Xiao Chunya said, "We can also pay the workers with potatoes. The price of food has gone up. Potatoes used to cost three cents per pound, but now they have gone up to one and a half cents. Farmers will eventually go hungry."

The wealthy and powerful people in the imperial capital finally became frightened and started hoarding food crazily, causing food prices to rise again and again.

The imperial gardens of the palace were used to grow potatoes, and many ministers' families responded to the call, especially the Ying Guogong Mansion, which not only pulled out the flowers in the garden, but also filled in the fish pond and smashed the rockery. Young and old all joined in the effort, and the bumper harvest at the end of last year made many people jealous.

Except for a few particularly stubborn ones, most of the wealthy families in Huangyang County have converted their gardens into fields to grow crops, and whether they harvest more or less is a comfort.

"We don't need so many people to stay here. Let's take turns going back to visit relatives." Xiao Chunya said, "This time, Fatty and his brother will go back first. In a few days, it will be my turn and Brother Mingyue will go back."

Xiao Qiulin calculated the time and found that Gaojia Village needed him to cast a spell again. Now the negative energy in Gaojia Village was gathering faster and faster, and there was a faint sign of it expanding outwards.

Luo Xiaopang was excited. He had been in Shouchun for almost two months and had only been back home once. He had promised to help Xiao Chunya with infrastructure construction, and he couldn't go back on his word. He could only suppress the longing in his heart and work hard.

"Oh, the results of the provincial exam are out. Brother Jing is 27th, Calico Cat is 29th, Brother Lei is 34th, and Brother Lei is 35th."

Xiao Chunya just received information from the melon-eating system, and her face looked a little helpless. "With their level, being able to pass the examination for Tongsheng is already an extraordinary performance. I think Grandpa and Second Grandpa are already very satisfied."

Zhao Jing and Zhao Chang were in the top ten in the first four county exams. No one expected that Zhao Chang would have a high fever on the day of the fifth exam and would be sick for several days.

Now that the news that Zhao Jing had passed the examination for a scholar had spread back to his hometown, Zhao Chang would only feel more upset.

Time and life.

Just like Lin Shaoxuan broke his leg the day before leaving for the provincial examination, Meng Haoran had to give up the provincial examination because his uncle's yard caught fire before leaving and he injured his hand while trying to save his cousin.

"When are we going home?" Fat Luo only cared about this matter, so he had to put it aside for now. He hadn't seen his grandfather and sister for a long time. He didn't like the boy from the Xiao family very much. He didn't know what his grandfather saw in him.

"Xiao family kid?" Xiao Chunya heard the fat boy's muttering and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"Xiao Yan, a distant relative. My grandfather seems to think highly of him and wants to marry my sister to him, but I don't like him. I always feel that he is a bit fake."

"Brother, help him take a look at this person and tell whether he is good or bad. Sister Luo is gentle and won't say it out loud if she suffers a loss."

"A rotten peach blossom." Xiao Qiulin said calmly, "Little Fatty, your grandfather's cultivation level has fallen from the middle stage of Huajin to the early stage. The Xiao family just happened to have a pill that could restore him to his original state."

Luo Xiaopang's face instantly turned red, and he clenched his fists. "My grandfather...he sold my sister for a pill?"

"The Xiao family lacked an alchemist who could provide free elixirs to the family, and you and your sister became the victims." Xiao Qiulin said, "He even concealed your life experience, so what else can be true?"

Luo Xiaopang was struck by lightning. What was his background? Wasn't he a child of the Luo family?

Xiao Chunya wanted to say something, but was pulled by Master Mingyue's sleeve. Xiao Chunya immediately understood that her brother said that on purpose. What did he mean?

"It's getting late. You should set off quickly so that you can make it in time for dinner." Young Master Mingyue ordered people to prepare a carriage to take the two people to Guangning Town.

After the people left, Xiao Chunya asked, "Isn't Grandpa Luo the little fat boy's real grandfather?"

"No, it should be my grandpa."

"what?"

"Little Fatty should also know about this." Master Mingyue said slowly, "It will not do him any good to keep it secret. Little Sister Luo is not strong in stress resistance. If she breaks off the engagement twice and there are rumors, she will most likely hang herself."

"Grandpa Luo looks down on my younger brother Daqing. In his eyes, our family is just peasants." Xiao Chunya didn't pay much attention to the fat boy's grandfather. Let the fat boy have a fight with his grandfather.

Zhao Dong, Zhao Xi, Zhao Nan, Zhao Erlang and Yue entered the fourth level of Yunmeng Mountain one after another. None of them had their cultivation level dropped. It can only be said that Grandpa Luo had a heavy inner demon that made him so unlucky.

"Brother Mingyue, when will you advance to the Dark Power Stage?"

"At least until next spring." Master Mingyue said, "Sister Chun'er, can you wait a little longer? Then we can go to Yunmeng Mountain together."

"I want to go but my father won't let me. I have to endure another year to unlock my Heavenly Eye and learn Iron Sand Palm. When I think of that ferocious rooster, I feel sick all over."

Xiao Chunya turned around and said, "I want chicken legs tonight!" and ate the same kind of big rooster!
