Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

The day has arrived to set off for the provincial capital.

Before daybreak, the Yan family had already loaded the ox cart and prepared to go to the county town.

Yuanniang and Yan Zhaoran were left at home to look after the house.

Magistrate Tuo contacted a caravan that would come to the north at this time every year.

After buying all the goods they brought, they returned with the furs unique to the north.

Because they needed to carry a large amount of potatoes, they planned to hire an empty truck in the fleet to transport the potatoes.

The captain of the caravan was very interested in these clods of earth.

This is something I have never seen before in the North.

When the captain learned that this was the hot-selling potato in the county, his eyes lit up!

"This stuff is very filling. I can keep myself from being hungry for a long time just by eating a little."

"Excuse me, are you selling these potatoes?"

"I have traveled to the north for many years, why have I never seen this thing?"

The team leader looked at the five ox carts in front of him and asked, "Are these all potatoes?"

Seeing that he was interested, Mr. Yan introduced potatoes to him, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.

When talking about the yield, the captain's eyes widened, "Fifty dan! Old man, you are not bragging, are you? What kind of grain can produce fifty dan per mu!"

Several members of the convoy heard the captain's surprised voice and gathered around.

"What can produce 50 dan per mu?"

"Yeah, are you kidding? I've never heard of anything that can produce 50 koku per acre."

“Hahahaha…you’re blowing your own trumpet!”

Seeing that they didn't believe him, Mr. Yan and his group didn't get angry. They still packed their luggage calmly.

Seeing how calm they looked, the people in the convoy believed them instantly.

People who drive sports cars from all over the world tend to hear more anecdotes and have much more knowledge than the average person.

However, food is the thing that people pay the most attention to in this era of low productivity.

Most people depend on the weather for their food, and they don’t know how to use fertilizers, so grain yields are generally not high.

What's more, potatoes are very filling and are even more filling than wheat, so I thought they must be a scarce commodity.

I can't even imagine that its output is so amazing!

"Old man, where are you taking these potatoes?"

"How many do you have? Sell them? I can pay a high price for them."

Old Master Yan looked at Yan Nansheng and saw the latter nodded, then he spoke, "It's not impossible to sell it to you, but you have to promise me one thing."

The captain rubbed his hands and said anxiously: "You tell me, you tell me, as long as it's not too much, I will agree to it."

Seeing that he was really anxious, Old Man Yan quickly explained: "My request is not difficult. No matter where you go to sell potatoes, you must tell the local people that potatoes are a high-yield crop."

After saying this, Mr. Yan waited quietly for the captain's answer.

"That's it? That's it?"

"What kind of request is this? We would have informed you anyway."

I originally thought that the old man would mention sharing the profits with them, but I didn't expect that he just wanted to promote it.

Old Master Yan shook his head and said nothing more.

When Yan Nansheng hired the team, he had already decided to cooperate with them.

Unexpectedly, before she even opened her mouth, they had already smelled the business opportunity.

This captain is not simple.

By the time everyone had finished discussing it, it was already bright.

The convoy set off.

Qingshui County is more than 600 miles away from the provincial capital, and the convoy could not move fast because it was carrying goods.

It took everyone half a month to finally reach the provincial capital.

The Xu family arranged a servant to wait at the city gate two days ago.

When he saw the Yan family, he hurried forward to greet them.

He sent other people back to Xu's house to report the news.

At the city gate, the Yan family separated from the caravan, exchanged tokens, and the caravan set off for the next town.

The Yan family moved into the courtyard that they had asked the Xu family to rent a long time ago.

This is a three-courtyard house located in the civilian area west of the city. It is surrounded by lush trees and close to the downtown area.

As you enter the courtyard, the first thing that catches your eye is a tall screen wall carved with exquisite patterns and texts.

Behind the screen wall is a spacious courtyard with smooth bluestone bricks on the ground. It is surrounded by various exotic flowers and plants, emitting bursts of fragrance.

After passing through the courtyard, you arrive at the first courtyard.

There is a row of rooms here with closed doors and exquisite bamboo curtains hanging on the windows.

In the center of the yard is a small and exquisite rockery with jagged rocks and gurgling water. To the east of the rockery is a towering old tree with luxuriant branches and leaves.

Going further in, you will reach the second courtyard.

This place is much more spacious than the first one. The main room faces north and south and is magnificent.

There is a platform in front of the house with several pots of blooming flowers on it.

There is a wing room on each side of the east and west, echoing the main room.

There is also a small garden in the yard, which is full of peonies, peonies and other flowers, which are colorful and beautiful.

The last is the third courtyard, which is also the backyard, usually where the women in the family live.

The whole courtyard is well laid out and arranged in an orderly manner. Yan Nansheng sighed that the Xu family really put a lot of thought into it.

Originally, my great uncle wanted to give the Xu family's house on West Street to the Yan family.

But Yan Nansheng refused to accept anything. He had originally planned to rent a yard in the city temporarily, wait for the restaurant to start business, save some money, and then move the Yan family to the city permanently.

Yan Nansheng doesn't like to owe others anything. Even if they are relatives, he cannot just ask for things blindly. Only when there is mutual benefit and complementation can there be an equal dialogue.

The Yan family will surely achieve something through their own efforts.

After a day of repairs, the next day, Mr. Xu brought his agent to the Yan family.

Mr. Yan and Yan Nansheng received him in the main hall.

Mr. Xu walked quickly into the hall, "Ah Xun, Sheng'er, are you satisfied with this courtyard?"

Yan Nansheng bowed and saluted, "Uncle."

"Brother Chang, I believe in your vision. This courtyard is really nice."

After everyone sat down, the second sister Yan Guidi and the third sister Yan Qingwu came in to pour tea.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Xu felt that he had been careless and should have arranged for someone to serve him in advance.

"Originally I should have been afraid of having a few servants come to serve me, but I brought my agent with me this time."

"Originally I just wanted to pick a shop here, but now I'll just pick some servants as well. Their prices are pretty fair."

Grandpa Yan has always been hands-on in his life for many years, and he only experienced a life of having food and clothes provided for him when he was a child.

The main reason was that the family at that time was in such a poor condition after the exile that they could not afford servants.

The other members of the Yan family felt even more uncomfortable. Originally, they worked for others in the place of exile. It was only after the Yan family became prosperous that they no longer had to run out to serve others.

But I never dared to think about employing servants.

Yan Nansheng was even less interested in this. She was born in an era where everyone was equal and human trafficking was illegal.

That is to say, in the last years of the world, some people started serving others in exchange for resources in order to survive.

And she was the leader of the safe zone, and many people wanted to serve her, but she still rejected them.

But times have changed, and here, these are all reasonable.

And when they return to Kyoto in the future, these are things the Yan family will have to get used to.

So she nodded in agreement.
