Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland

Fu Cang looked at Mo Xiaonian suspiciously.

"How come it was delivered so quickly? I just discussed this with you yesterday, and the bricks and stones will be delivered tomorrow?"

"That's right. Isn't it because you are in a hurry to do this? Then you can't procrastinate. Besides, isn't this good? The most urgent thing for you now is time. This will help you solve your problems!"

Fu Cang laughed at what Mo Xiaonian said, and hugged her and bit her hard again.

"You are really considerate. Okay, I will bring some people over to fetch bricks and stones tomorrow."

Mo Xiaonian went to the forest earlier.

It's really cold outside now. Mo Xiaonian is dressed like a ball with a furry fur hat on her head. From a distance, she looks like a chubby little bear.

Seeing that there was no one around, Mo Xiaonian released the bricks and stones from the space.

The open space in the forest was filled with bricks and stones. It was such a large area that it was spectacular. There were also bags of high-temperature resistant cement donated by the mall, piled here one by one.

Mo Xiaonian just used his palms to put these things from the space to the ground. He was so tired that he was out of breath after he finished.

Fu Cang had already arrived with the transport team and could see the dark mass from a distance.

Mo Xiaonian excitedly jumped in front of Fu Cang.

"Well, I've already asked someone to put the things here. Find someone to carry them back to the tribe. I feel so cold. I want to go home!"

"I'll take you back. But please wait for a moment. I'll take Hu Mu around to make sure he doesn't miss anything when transporting."

Hu Mu was already stunned by the scene before him.

Hu Mu is now in charge of logistics. He has a horse-drawn carriage specifically for transportation, which he brought here today.

He had never seen such smooth, neat and hard bricks and stones. He touched them curiously and weighed them in his hand. Seeing Fu Cang coming over, he immediately said excitedly: "Oh my God! This thing is too good! Goddess, where did you buy these bricks and stones? I have never seen bricks and stones fired so well!"

Mo Xiaonian shook his head painfully: "Ah, this money is good! I'm afraid that the half-year military budget in your barracks can't even buy back these bricks and stones!"

Hu Mu clicked his tongue twice.

"It's so expensive! But it's expensive for a reason. Look at the bricks and stones. They are so beautiful."

Fu Cang took Hu Mu and made a big circle, drawing circles on the ground with a branch while they were turning.

"These things are so expensive, you must take good care of them when transporting them. Don't drop them or lose them. These are the materials we need to build the blast furnace. Whether we can refine pig iron depends entirely on these things!"

"Don't worry, Chief. I will complete the mission!"

Fu Cang nodded and helped Mo Xiaonian onto the horse. He did not get on the horse himself, but just led the horse towards home.

"You haven't ridden for a long time, have you?"

“Yes, I haven’t ridden since the weather turned cold, and I will continue riding when the weather warms up next spring.

By the way, Fucang, how is your ranch? It's winter now, is there enough feed for the horses?"

"We only have dry feed now, and the horses have lost some weight. But there is nothing we can do about it. They have to use up some muscle mass in the winter. We will be fine when the grass grows back in the pasture in the spring."

"I can get you some feed that's much better than the hay you're eating now, or you can take me to the ranch."

"Aren't you cold?"

"It's OK. I was sweating while working just now. Now I'm not cold at all."

"Let's go then."

Because of the cold weather, the horses were kept in the stables.

Mo Xiaonian didn’t know why, but she particularly liked these horses.

What she liked to look at most was the horse’s two clear big eyes.

These horses were indeed much thinner than before, not as fat and strong as before. Mo Xiaonian felt a little distressed when she saw them. While Fu Cang was talking to the soldiers at the ranch, she took out a lot of feed from the space.

Her feed is made from compressed residue left over from making sugar from sugarcane and oil from soybeans. It is much better than hay in terms of both nutrition and taste.

Fu Cang walked into the warehouse and saw so many extra feed cakes. He looked at Mo Xiaonian meaningfully.

But he didn't ask anything, he just said to her gently: "What do you think? If you think it's okay, let's go home. If we stay here for too long, you will really get cold."

"Okay, let's go."

Fu Cang finally brought all the heat-resistant bricks and stones back to the tribe the day before the Spring Festival.

He found a suitable location not far from the military camp and unloaded the bricks and stones there.

This is a large open space between the military camp and the tribe. It is safe enough and a perfect place to build a blast furnace.

But tomorrow is the Spring Festival, so the start date of work can only wait until after the Spring Festival.

Even during the Spring Festival, the military camp in Fucang cannot be closed for holiday. These soldiers must stay in the barracks and continue to protect the safety of the people.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Mo Xiaonian and Yue Lu personally drove a cart full of New Year's goods to the military camp to reward their soldiers.

Fu Cang felt very ashamed.

How come my wife started to help them again?

Wouldn't this make me, the head of the family, seem particularly useless?

"Great Elder, Xiao Nian, why are you here?"

Mo Xiaonian felt inexplicably happy today. She jumped off the carriage, pulled open the tarpaulin, and patted the bag full of meat.

"Dear Chief, this meat is a token of our gratitude to all the people in our tribe. Thank you and your soldiers for protecting our safety over the past year. We have all seen your efforts.

These are the wishes of all the people. Everyone has contributed money and effort to buy such a large cart full of New Year's goods, just to let us soldiers have a good New Year! "

Fu Cang pursed his lips, feeling a little touched. Why?

"You said these were prepared for us by all the people in our tribe?"

Mo Xiaonian nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes! Everyone is very enthusiastic when they heard that we are going to reward you. Every family has brought out a lot of things just to let you have something good to eat during the festival. This is the first car we brought, and there are two more cars to come. You can organize the soldiers to come out and have a look. This will be a great motivation for them!"

What Mo Xiaonian said was right. When the soldiers saw that the people actually supported them so much and took out the best food from their homes to give to them, they all felt their blood boiling.

Mo Xiaonian took advantage of the enthusiasm and asked Fu Cang to lead the soldiers to hold a bonfire party on the open flat ground outside the village entrance in the evening. Anyone in the tribe who wanted to participate could come. She provided snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts, Fu Cang provided roasted whole lamb, and Yue Lu and Feng Ming led the soldiers to sing and dance around the bonfire.
