Female-to-male: I live on farming

Qin Ke really tossed and turned for half the night before he was willing to stop.

It was a rare time when Lu Youqing got up and Qin Ke was not in the room. When she got up with one hand on the quilt, she found that the quilt had been crumpled up at the end of the bed.

She had no choice but to find a new set of clothes.

"Sir, my husband has gone to the Ministry of Works and will be back at noon." Lihua came to greet him as soon as he went out. When Qin Ke went out, he reminded Lihua not to disturb his wife.

Lihua had no choice but to wait outside obediently. When she was in Xihai, she had never seen adults get up so late.

"Yes, I understand." Lu Youqing finally took the time to care about Lihua: "Are you used to everything in Cangwu?"

"Aunt Li takes good care of me. Everything is fine." Lihua smiled.

Indeed, Lihua was not much different in age from Li Nanqiao, and Li's mother was amiable and approachable. She lived right next door to Li's mother and her family.

"That's good. If you need anything, just let me know. You can also go out for a walk when you are free and get familiar with Cangwu City as soon as possible." When Lu Youqing said this, she suddenly realized that she had almost never been around the city.

She was only familiar with the mansion and the Princess's Mansion in Cangwu City, and had never taken a good look at the situation in the city.

So after Qin Ke returned home, Lu Youqing brought up the matter.

Qin Ke swallowed a mouthful of sweet potato rice and smiled when he heard it: "In that case, I will accompany my wife to visit Cangwu City in the afternoon."

"Do you have nothing to do this afternoon?"

"I slightly adjusted the cement ratio this morning. I'll leave the rest to the people in the Ministry of Works."

Qin Ke also realized this. Not only did he and his wife spend less time together than together, but they were also busy with work and had very few dates.

So after lunch, Qin Ke enthusiastically took Lu Youqing to change clothes, and very carefully picked out a set of clothes that matched Lu Youqing.

He changed into a light green gown, which made him look particularly fresh and elegant. He tidied his hair in front of the bronze mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

The sun was sparse outside today, and the air was filled with a cool chill. Qin Ke held Lu Youqing's hand tightly, and the two of them strolled on the street, with Lihua and Han Qi following closely behind.

Li Nanqiao has gone to the military camp to report to Xiao Anyi and is rarely at home nowadays.

The streets are bustling with cars and people, the hawkers' calls are heard one after another, the flowered windows of the wine shops reflect the figures of people toasting, and the smoke rising from the tea stalls adds a strong smell of fireworks.

Lu Youqing vaguely remembered that the situation was not like this when he first came to Cangwu City.

"In more than half a year, it seems that Cangwu City has changed a lot." Lu Youqing sighed to himself.

Qin Ke took her hand and walked towards the market. On both sides of the market were teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops, and there were also many small vendors with big umbrellas on the open spaces on both sides. There were teahouses, hotels, fortune-telling stalls, butcher shops, and Lihua kept looking around, feeling overwhelmed.

Compared with the West Sea, Cangwu City is much more prosperous.

"Which soap shop is that?" Lu Youqing suddenly stopped and was attracted by a shop on the street.

Qin Ke followed her gaze, nodded and explained, "Yes, that's Pei Xiu's shop, specializing in selling soaps produced by the soap factory, and they also accept private orders."

After that, he raised his finger and pointed to a shop not far ahead that looked very magnificently decorated and said, "This is the branch of Yaochi Xianyu opened by Master Gu in Liangzhou. It just opened a few days ago."

Lu Youqing looked carefully and found that the structure was indeed similar to the Yao Chi Fairy Bath in Jinzhou. There were people coming and going in front of the shop, which showed that the business was good.

"Master Gu sent some VIP cards. If my lady wants to go, we can go in and take a look."

"Forget it." Lu Youqing shook her head, not too interested, but she suddenly remembered the coal mine she found on the way to Liangzhou, and asked, "Is the charcoal used in this bath coal or charcoal?"

"It's coal. The coal factory has started producing coal briquettes a long time ago, but they only started selling them after the weather got colder. The sale of coal briquettes is the responsibility of the government office. You will know the details after my wife takes office." Qin Ke explained.

Lu Youqing nodded thoughtfully and asked, "How do the prices of coal and charcoal compare?"

"It's not much different, but the price of coal is in a ladder-like manner. The price will be much more expensive if the quota is exceeded. The quota is determined by investigating the household consumption of many ordinary people."

You should know that although the price of coal is not much different from that of charcoal, you should know that the burning time and temperature of coal are much stronger than those of charcoal. So it is much more cost-effective to buy coal than charcoal.

Qin Ke also didn't expect that the eldest princess would actually apply the concept of tiered charging that he had proposed here.

Generally, most of those who exceed the purchase quota are wealthy families. For example, Qin Ke's family's coal consumption far exceeds the purchase quota. However, such mansions generally do not lack this money.

Compared to shopping, Lu Youqing was more like inspecting. She had no desire to buy anything. Clothes and other things were designed and made by people. She caught a glimpse of Lihua's excited and curious face, so she said helplessly: "Lihua, you can go shopping with Han Qi. You don't have to follow us."

Qin Ke also nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Lihua was surprised when she heard this, but soon looked at Qin Ke and Lu Youqing with worry, and said hesitantly: "But we are leaving, my Lords..."

Qin Ke smiled and said, "Don't worry, my wife and I are just strolling around, we don't need anyone to follow us."

Lu Youqing also smiled and nodded to Lihua, indicating that she agreed with Qin Ke's words.

Seeing that both of them said so, Lihua no longer insisted. After bowing to them, she left happily with Han Qi.

Looking at Lihua's cheerful back, Qin Ke and Lu Youqing couldn't help but smile at each other.

The two of them strolled leisurely on the street, just like most ordinary people in the world, buying anything interesting they came across, and eating some delicious food at the stalls on the road when they were hungry...

Gradually, the moon was bright in the sky, the lights came on as the night went on, and the streets were brightly lit.

"If it continues to develop in this way, in a few years, Liangzhou will surely become a prosperous place in Dayan." After a tour, Lu Youqing gained a lot of insights.

The sight of carriages and horses on the streets, the endless stream of pedestrians, and the peaceful and comfortable smiling faces all highlight the people's contentment with this great era.

When I saw Lihua again, she had indeed bought a lot of new things, so many that she couldn't hold them all in her hands. Even Han Qi carried a lot of things.

Looking at the pile of items in front of her, Lu Youqing was a little surprised. Fortunately, Lu Youqing gave Lihua a lot of monthly allowance, enough for her to squander.

The group got on the carriage and returned to the mansion. At night, Qin Ke pulled Lu Youqing to the bed again and continued their plan to have a baby.
