Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

There are 100,000 people in northern Xinjiang. How long can 30,000 kilograms of food last?

How much can they save for growing crops?

And after this winter, the barbarians in the north will frantically invade the border, and the Northern Army will soon experience the most difficult battle in recent years...

Due to lack of food and clothing, the Northern Army suffered heavy casualties.

So in his previous life, her second brother was desperate and wanted to go to the northern border to seek a future with great enthusiasm, but in the end he lost his life there.

Zhou Lingling sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, give him all the potatoes in the farm!"

She also has sweet potatoes and corn in her space, so she can harvest a lot.

Zhou Lingling had a premonition that when Xiao Yan left this time, her second brother would also leave.

A sense of fatalism.

It seems so.

Zhou Lingling smiled bitterly. Compared to those strangers she had never met before, she hoped that her loved ones could live well...

As long as there is enough food, Zhou Lingling believes that the Northern Army will not suffer as tragically as in the previous life, where they had to wait until only one in ten survived to defend the country's borders.

She believed in Xiao Yan.

The next morning.

Another dozen dark-faced men in tattered clothes appeared at the gate of Zhou's courtyard.

As soon as the neighbor opened the door, he was startled by the scene again.

"Oh my God!"

The neighbor was about to run back and close the door, but then he remembered something.

He stuck his head out again and looked at the group of big men staring at him at the door of Zhou's house.

"Um, are you also here to serve as guards for the Zhou family?"

A dozen people looked at each other, and one of them nodded.

"Yes."

The neighbor exclaimed, then bravely opened the door: "That's right!"

"There was a group of people last month too. I thought they were bandits in town..."

Everyone: "..."

The bandits knocked on Zhou's door again.

But the daughter and son were not at home, so Zhou Laoer and Chen moved to the store for convenience.

Naturally, there is no one in the Zhou family.

The neighbor said: "Maybe he lives in the store, no wonder I haven't smelled any fragrance these past two days..."

"Or you can go to Zhouji and check it out. Just go straight to the right from the intersection ahead, and after crossing two alleys you'll reach the East Market. Their tavern is on the back street of the East Market..."

Everyone thanked him and turned to leave.

The neighbor looked at the backs of the group of people, his hands in his pockets, and muttered silently: "Who is this Zhou family? Why do so many bandits come to their house as guards..."

Did he come down from the mountains before? Did he retire from the business world?

He said that the man from the Zhou family was so big and looked difficult to get along with.

Everyone's been short of food lately, and I guess it's getting tough in the mountains lately, so they've all come down...

Thinking of this, the neighbor turned around and went back into his yard, asking his wife to hide all the valuables and food in the house.

There is no golden basin for washing hands.

There is a copper basin.

Zhou Laoer brought a basin of water and helped his wife wash her hands after she had been cutting braised food all morning.

"My wife, you've worked hard. Come wash your hands and have breakfast."

"Didn't my daughter ask us to hire an aunt to cut vegetables? Why are you so stubborn? You'll be tired later..."

Zhou Laoer muttered to himself.

Chen angrily threw the knife onto the chopping board, and the knife stuck firmly on the chopping board.

Zhou Laoer shrank his neck, and Fang, who was washing the dishes used by the guests, was also startled. Then she smiled, quickened her work, washed the last bowl, and went out directly.

Before leaving, he even pulled away Daqin who was about to go in and call people for dinner.

"Let's go first. Sister Chen has some family matters to discuss with my second brother..."

After hearing what Fang said, Chen glared at Zhou Laoer in annoyance.

"After just a few days of good life, you're already thinking about enjoying yourself? Your daughter loves you and won't let you work at the docks, but you're actually thinking about being a boss!"

"Look at what our daughter has been doing these days? Do you think she went to the farm just to have fun? And she told me not to work so hard..."

Zhou Lao Er was scolded by his wife so badly that he couldn't even lift his head, but he couldn't help but defend himself:

"Wife, my daughter asked me to stay and help you..."

He is just an ordinary father who listens to his daughter.

After Chen finished scolding, she felt that she had gone too far.

The truth is that her daughter has been at the farm for quite some time, and the store is busy, so she hasn't seen her daughter for several days.

Thinking of this, Chen put her hands on her hips and said, "If you want me to relax a little, then go find someone!"

"You say you're going to invite people, but why don't you invite one back to me?"

"How can I let go if you don't invite me back? There's a whole room of people waiting for food outside!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Laoer's eyes lit up.

"Wife, have you agreed to invite someone?"

As if afraid that Chen would go back on her word, Zhou Lao Er turned and ran: "Wait, I'll go get someone for you."

Chen took two steps after him and shouted, "Eat your meal first!"

As a result, Chen Laoer's steps became faster.

After dinner, he was afraid that his wife would change her mind.

Zhou Lingling had already found the people through her broker Uncle Wu. Originally, they were looking for a cook and a kitchen assistant. The cook had been working in the store for a long time and was very good at making home-cooked meals.

But she didn't want the kitchen helper because Chen wanted to save that person's monthly salary, so she and Aunt Fang worked as kitchen helpers.

When there are so many customers, even if the two of them are very efficient, they still feel overwhelmed as one has to wash the dishes and the other has to cut the vegetables.

Zhouji is located in the East Market, not far from the dental clinic.

Fortunately, the kitchen helper had not been taken away yet. When Zhou Laoer arrived, the people of Wuya recognized him and immediately brought their men to sign a contract with Zhou Laoer.

The Wuya people looked at Zhou Laoer enviously and said, "Master Zhou, your family is getting more and more prosperous."

The people of Wuya can be said to have witnessed the growth of the Zhou family.

In just half a year, from the time I bought a small yard from him, to the first ox cart, the second ox cart, the first horse carriage, a cook, and now a kitchen helper...

Although the cook and the kitchen helper both signed a five-year contract, they are still considered family members.

This Zhou family is really amazing!

Zhou Laoer was not good at speaking and could only grin at the broker's words.

"Thank you for your good words, thank you for your good words."

Zhou Laoer brought his kitchen helpers back to Zhouji's backyard, only to find that there were many more people there.

Sang Lin and the others were talking to these people excitedly. When they saw Zhou Laoer coming back, they hurriedly said:

"Brother Zhou Er, this is a guest from the north, and he's also here to look for Ling Yatou."

Then he introduced him to the others, "This is our host. You can also call me Brother Zhou Er!"

These people are the elite of their Northern Army, and many of them were trained by them personally. The oldest are only in their twenties, and the youngest are only eighteen or nineteen.

But even these elite soldiers are just taller in stature. Although they are not skinny, they are almost there.

Sang Lin felt sad because he had gained five kilograms in just one month here.

Zhou Laoer understood as soon as he heard it.

These were the people my daughter hired to work on the farm.

"Okay, okay, now that we're all family, haven't you all eaten yet? I'll go get something to eat for everyone."

Zhou Laoer knew how his daughter arranged these people, so he followed her example and said to Daqin:

"Daqin, please help me go to that store and buy back all the ready-made clothes they have so that everyone can take a hot bath."

Just as those people were about to say no need to bother, Sang Lin hooked his arm around their neck and patted them:

"Hey, didn't you hear what your brother Tuesday said? We're all family here."

"Brothers, there's no need to be restrained. The master has been living in the Zhou family. This place is just like our home. Just go back and complete the tasks assigned by the master."

The "our home" that Sang Lin mentioned refers to the northern border. For the Northern Army, their home is wherever their master is.

After saying that, Sang Lin didn't let Chen do it. He took his brothers to fetch water and boil water, washed his hands and feet, changed into new clothes, and cooked a big pot of noodles.

Bowls of hot noodles in my hands, warm in my heart...
