Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

Zhou Lingling thought these old men were quite interesting, but Zhou Chi was a little wary of them.

"It's the same thing as saying it once, but it's too much trouble to say it twice. Why don't we wait until the general is free to discuss this matter in detail?"

When he said this, everyone, including Qi Zhu, was speechless.

"This……"

Mr. Zhuang laughed heartily: "Qizhu, it seems that Master Zhou doesn't believe us!"

Qi Zhu also looked at Zhou Chi meaningfully. The latter's ears were slightly red, but his back was still straight, and his eyes were looking at Mr. Zhuang firmly.

He is trying hard to be a good brother and protect his sister.

Even though I am only a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.

Zhou Lingling quietly stretched out her little hand, touched her brother's side, and held his hand, which was pinching the corner of his clothes because of nervousness.

The palms of her hands were slightly moist and warm, just like Zhou Lingling's mood at the moment.

Big Brother is so nice...

You can't let me down either!

"My elder brother is right, Master Military Advisor, don't you want to guide my elder brother in his studies and have tea together?"

Hearing Zhou Lingling's words, Qi Zhu had no choice but to say, "Yes, yes, drink tea, drink tea."

After saying that, he shook his head in amusement.

"Mr. Zhuang, it's the end of the year now, so we shouldn't rush into anything. Why don't we wait until the general is free and ask Miss Zhou to help us solve our problems?"

But how could people who had been scratching their heads for days agree to this?

Elder Zhuang then looked at Zhou Lingling and said, "I and the others are being presumptuous today. This is a matter concerning the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Frontier. I have only described the correspondence in general terms and do not have any details. I hope you will forgive me."

"I am so magnanimous, but please tell me a little bit about the new grain so that we can rest assured."

They must have believed the general.

But the matter was of great importance. They were old and even unwilling to attend the previous dinner. Instead, they wanted to meet the hero who was willing to donate new grain to their northern border.

When the Zhou family came to the northern border before, they mentioned this matter, but the general was busy catching spies and did not allow them to visit.

I finally got the chance, but the other party refused to say anything.

What should I do then?

"Miss Zhou, we are all the general's men, what are you worried about?"

"I think we should invite the general back. It's just a dinner party, what's there to eat? Fresh food is more important."

Seeing that the people on the opposite side were talking more and more outrageous and were about to bring the general back, Qi Zhu had to remind them.

"Don't forget that the General has important matters to attend to tonight as well!"

Business?

Mr. Zhuang and the others became serious and shut their mouths.

Zhou Lingling looked at Qi Zhu with curiosity: "Brother Xiao, are you going out tonight?"

Qi Zhu shook his head: "No, the general wants to lure the snake out of its hole tonight..."

forecourt,

Everyone was well fed and the atmosphere was lively.

Zhou Laoer and his wife have also reached cooperation with several companies and agreed to provide them with fresh vegetables in the near future.

The couple had a few drinks and were feeling a bit high.

Xiao Yan, who was sitting upstairs, also looked a little tipsy as his subordinates and the wealthy people in the city toasted him with one glass after another.

Just when everyone thought that tonight's dinner was about to end, Xiao Yan clapped his hands.

After a while, the servants came up with large trays.

The freshly cooked potatoes on top are still steaming...

"Too much alcohol is harmful to your health. Come with me, General, and have some food to sober up."

"This general traveled south and stumbled upon a new crop that can not only be grown in the northern border, but also yields a considerable amount."

"This thing is called potato. It can be eaten fried or boiled. Everyone, please..."

After saying that, Xiao Yan didn't look at the various expressions of the people present, and picked up a potato in front of him.

I peeled off the skin and took a bite.

The delicate and soft taste has a slight sweetness.

Even if you have eaten all the way, you will not feel sick.

The next to take action were Zhou Laoer and his wife and the Tang family.

They are also very familiar with this thing.

In the yard outside the hall, Tie Yuan and the others didn't even wait to be called. After the potatoes were served, they each picked up a potato.

"Come on, brother, try this thing. We found it in the south..."

"This is called potato, it tastes better than steamed buns, try it!"

As if the disease was contagious, the people inside were still watching while the soldiers outside started eating enthusiastically.

"Well, that's good! My friend, your trip was not in vain..."

"It's nothing like steamed buns! But it seems like it can still fill you up?"

The twelve city defenders followed suit, picked up a potato and began to peel it.

Instead, the big players looked at the things in front of them, not daring to move, with various emotions flashing in their eyes.

After eating the potatoes, Xiao Yan said:

"After the New Year, new grain will be planted in large quantities in Northern Xinjiang and will be harvested within March. If nothing unexpected happens, our soldiers and civilians in Northern Xinjiang will hopefully no longer go hungry this year!"

No more hunger.

These five short words made the hearts of all the soldiers present tremble.

The wealthy were unaware of this because they had plenty of people and money and could go to Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, to buy grain.

But most people in the northern border have no money and will be trapped here for the rest of their lives!

A hungry meal, a full meal.

When they are not fighting, so are the Northern Army!

So when everyone looked at the potato peels left on the table, their eyes were burning with anxiety.

They are indispensable when growing potatoes!

……

The banquet is finally over.

Everyone left the general's mansion with their own thoughts, but the twelve city garrisons refused to go to the inn to rest.

"General, when can we plant the new crops? Dingbei City is vast and populated, so I can help you share some of the burden!"

"General, we have more people in Hubei City, all of them are young and strong, and we can also plant!"

"General, we are in Luobei City..."

"General, we..."

"General..."

Xiao Yan rubbed his throbbing eyebrows and walked towards the study.

Behind him were twelve chattering men.

In the study,

Everyone has already drunk the second pot of tea.

Qizhu: Please have some tea, he is serious.

Gradually, several people discovered that Zhou Chi was indeed talented, and they began to appreciate his talent.

The four teachers took turns asking questions, ranging from astronomy to geography, the Four Books and Five Classics in between, and also criticizing current social ills, which made Zhou Chi quite overwhelmed.

Zhou Lingling spoke up several times to help her brother out, and the four of them almost targeted her as well.

Fortunately, Zhou Lingling shut up with a sympathetic look on her face.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Thank you for your hard work, brother!

I'll treat you to a big chicken drumstick when you get home!

It was not until they heard the sound of "General" and "General" outside that the brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Gentlemen, I believe the banquet has ended and my brother and I will be going back soon."

Zhou Chi stood up and was about to say goodbye with his sister.

too frightening.

Four Mr. Liu.

But Mr. Zhuang smiled.

"Just in time for the general to arrive, my two friends, let's talk about the new grain..."

The door was pushed open and Xiao Yan came in with a group of people.

After seeing the people sitting inside, the Dingbei City garrison commander who had just pulled Xiao Yan to ask for food immediately let go.

"General, it's getting late. Let's come back tomorrow!"

"Yes, yes, General, please rest early. We will take our leave now!"

"Goodbye, goodbye..."

The person who was about to come in but was pushed out by his companions was a little annoyed: "What are you doing? I haven't got it yet..."

"Where are you going?" an old voice sounded.

The angry person also got angry and turned away.

"Come in yet!"

This time it was Xiao Yan's voice.

Everyone stopped, turned around with a bitter look, and walked in obediently one by one...

Zhou Lingling: It’s quite interesting.
