The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Sixty-two pounds of corn cobs is no small sum in this area. Even if you remove the pulp, remove the moisture, dry it, and grind it into flour, it would still weigh no less than thirty-two pounds.

This amount of cornmeal is enough to cook porridge in winter and is enough for some families to eat for two months.

Thinking of other families, they would cry and beg them to give up again and again. They would not shut up until their patience was worn out and they were ready to resort to violence.

Mrs. Jiang was unusually generous and gave them an extra 62 kilograms, making a total of 8,000 kilograms of corn cobs.

Captain Dong looked at the corn cobs piled up like a small mountain, and suddenly he laughed even more freely.

"Next autumn, we will definitely harvest more food."

"Definitely."

...

Jiang Yan ignored the two people imagining the future and instead discussed with General Ye: "The remaining corn cobs belong to us, mother and daughter. Old man, please decide when we can ship them back home."

"It can be done today, but can it fit in your yard?"

"Yes. I've thought about it. There are two trees near the west wall of our yard. They're not very strong, but they should be enough to dry some corn cobs."

"Corn cobs are hung on trees to dry?" General Ye was also very curious about how to dry them.

"It's just the husks of two corn cobs tied together and placed on a tree branch."

After hearing Jiang Yan's description, the Ye family quickly understood.

Several young men from the Ye family praised her directly: "Aunt is so smart."

Ye Zhanyang also secretly discussed with his wife and asked her to talk to Jiang Yan about buying food.

Mrs. Ye also knew that this was a top priority, so she quickly found an opportunity to talk to Jiang Yan about it.

Jiang Yan readily agreed and made an agreement with her: "After the people in the banner have exchanged seeds with me, my sister-in-law can come over to buy food."

"Thank you, girl."

"You're welcome, but I'm just wondering how many pounds of food you want to buy."

"Let's discuss how much we need to buy when we get back. We can tell my sister tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Ok."

...

In the afternoon, Captain Dong sent a horse-drawn carriage to bring 8,000 kilograms of corn cobs back to the captain's office.

In the following days, Jiang Yan heard from the soldiers who came to transport wheat, sorghum and millet how Captain Dong used the corn she planted to bring greater benefits to the captain's office.

The people in Xiaoqi also heard from Zhang Xiaoqi that Captain Dong was exchanging the corn grown by Madam Jiang for three kilograms of corn, so they all came to Jiang Yan to exchange corn with her.

Jiang Yan asked around, and found that almost everyone in the banner wanted to plant ten mu of corn next year. Jiang Yan told them, "One mu of land requires about three kilograms of seed," and she gave each family thirty kilograms of corn in exchange.

The Ye family and Mada didn't plant any fields this year, so Jiang Yan directly sold them corn for seeds.

The Mada family also bought 30 kilograms of corn seeds. The Ye family was large, so General Ye gave them 100 kilograms of corn seeds with just a wave of his hand.

When the entire Thirteen Banners ushered in the harvest season, Jiang Yan was sitting at the gate of her yard with her daughter, threshing beans.

All other grains have been handed over, only these beans have not been handed over.

Today, she wanted to go to the Zhang family to help, but Guan told her that their family also employed the Ye family, so she should just stay at home and thresh beans.

Yichen knew that Zhang also had to go to work, so she asked her to send Changsheng over, and she and her mother wanted to help take care of Changsheng.

Of course Zhang was more than happy to do so, and sent Changsheng over early on.

Jiang Yan padded the large wicker basket with thick straw and placed a folded mattress on top of the straw, so that it would be comfortable to put Changsheng in it.

"Mom, is Changsheng asleep?"

"Well, I drank a bowl of milk, and after that I couldn't open my eyes."

"Mom, I'm sleepy too."

"Come on, you two go back to the room and sleep."

"Ah."

Jiang Yan picked up Changsheng, and Yichen followed behind, and they went into the house together.

After settling the two children, Jiang Yan came out of the house again, wanting to continue threshing beans by herself.

The weather is really nice today. In the azure sky, a few white clouds are floating towards this side from one end of the sky with the breeze.

Jiang Yan stood at the gate of her yard, looking at the harvest scene on the other side of the river, and couldn't help but smile.

Looking back at his own yard, he felt even more satisfied.

I just looked down at the dry bean sprouts on the oilcloth and felt a little upset.

I could have used a harvester, but who knew…Alas!

Jiang Yan was sighing when she heard someone calling her from the other side of the river: "Auntie Jiang~"

"Hey, what's up, Xiaolang?"

"Aunt Jiang, after the Sansheng family finishes using your carriage, can you lend it to my family?"

"Okay, use it, but don't forget to feed the horse."

"Thank you, Aunt Jiang. I will definitely not forget it."

Watching Wang Xiaolang jumping away, Jiang Yan looked up at the sky again.

I have a kind of illusion that life is peaceful and tranquil.

But this illusion did not last long and was broken by a burst of chaotic horse hooves.

Jiang Yan withdrew her gaze and looked towards the other side of the river. Through the gaps between the willow branches, she saw a group of people running from the end of the dirt road. Wherever they passed, they raised a cloud of dust.

Even though they were still far away and couldn't see the faces of those people clearly through the smoke and dust, Jiang Yan could still feel the unfamiliarity of these faces.

These people also wore the military uniforms of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Some were low-ranking military officers, while others were ordinary soldiers.

Don't ask Jiang Yan how she knew that. What Zhang Xiaoqi was wearing was also what the officers and soldiers who came with Captain Dong were wearing.

But why did these people come to the Thirteen Banners? Jiang Yan didn't know.

Jiang Yan was just about to look away and continue doing her own thing when the group of people soon arrived at the river.

Jiang Yan: Could it be that these people are coming for her?

Jiang Yan thought again, it should be unlikely.

Just as Jiang Yan picked up the wooden stick and was about to sit down to continue beating the beans, she saw those people had already crossed the river on horseback.

Judging from the posture of those people, it really seemed like they came for her.

Shi Feng looked at the fair and beautiful woman opposite him, and his eyes lit up. He didn't expect that what Captain Wei said was true.

It was only under his questioning that the old pervert stammered out the story of the woman hidden in the mountains.

presumably….

Thinking that this woman might be having an affair with that old pervert, the surprise in Shi Feng's eyes instantly disappeared, and instead a feeling of disgust rose in his eyes.

Jiang Yan was also looking at the man opposite, who was wearing an officer's uniform that was basically the same as Captain Dong's.

She guessed that this man should also be a captain. He looked younger than Captain Dong, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, bronze skin, and a height of 178 meters. He was definitely a handsome man.

But the way this person looked at her was really unpleasant.
