I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

Li Lan rolled his eyes at the two of them and walked forward first.

"Hey, sister, slow down and wait for me and my brother-in-law." Li Run shouted from behind.

"Brother-in-law, let's go quickly." After saying that, he hurried to chase Li Lan.

Zhou Yuntian, who was left there, looked at the backs of the brother and sister and laughed, shook his head, and followed them with the help of a wooden stick.

At the wasteland where the house was to be built, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Zhang had already plowed the remaining land and were watering it.

"Grandma, Mom, is it almost done?" Li Lan asked as he looked at the ground that had been turned over.

The two people who were busy working immediately looked up and turned around when they heard Li Lan's words.

"My daughter, we'll be done after we water the land here," Zhang said happily.

"Okay. Grandma, Mom, come here first."

When they heard Li Lan ask them to come over, and then saw the two large bags at her feet, they understood what was going on. They wiped their hands on their clothes excitedly and walked quickly towards Li Lan.

Li Lan looked at the two people's excited expressions and laughed out loud, thinking: Grandma and mother are so cute.

"Girl, are these two bags the grain that you mentioned that can produce a thousand kilograms per mu?" asked Mrs. Wang, looking at her with bright eyes.

Zhang next to her was smiling so much that her eyes were invisible, looking at her with full of anticipation.

Li Lan smiled and nodded, then opened the bag, revealing the contents.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhang took two quick steps forward, opened the bag and looked inside.

What caught my eye was a bag full of yellow, plump and round things, and another bag full of green plants about 20-25 cm long.

"Oh my goodness, what are these called? How are they grown? My girl." Zhang looked surprised and asked in confusion.

"Grandma, Mom, this bag of green seedlings is called sweet potatoes. They're soft and sweet when cooked, so you can just dig into ridges and plant them. This bag of yellow-skinned potatoes is called potatoes. They're tender and soft when cooked, so you have to cut them into pieces before planting, and apply wood ash to the cuts to prevent pests."

Li Lan paused for a moment, then said, "Grandma, you and Mom make ridges and plant the sweet potatoes first. I'll cut the potatoes and coat them with wood ash."

"Okay, then your mother and I will make ridges and plant the sweet potatoes first." After Wang Po said this, she and Zhang walked towards the field excitedly, as if they had endless energy.

"Sister, sister, can this really produce 1,000 kilograms per mu?" Li Run, who had arrived a while ago and heard their conversation, said excitedly. His eyes were wide open, shining as he looked at the two large bags on the ground.

Zhou Yuntian, who had just walked behind the brother and sister, heard Li Run's words, his pupils shrank, his body shook, and he picked up the wooden stick and took two quick steps forward. Seeing the two large open bags on the ground, his eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately turned to look at Li Lan with expectation.

It was the first time Li Lan saw such a vivid expression on Zhou Yuntian's face. He chuckled and said, "Yes, these two kinds of food can yield over a thousand kilograms per mu. The exact number will have to wait until they are planted to know."

Zhou Yuntian saw Li Lan looking at him with a half-smile in his eyes, and knew that he had just lost his composure. He couldn't help but clench his fist and cough lightly a few times, then squatted down and picked up the potatoes in the bag to take a look.

Seeing these things, his eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself: "These things have never been seen in the Great Qin Dynasty. No wonder this girl wants to find a backer. If any of these things were taken out, it would shock the entire Great Qin Dynasty. I'm afraid of someone with ulterior motives..."

Li Lan saw him frowning in thought, and knowing what he was thinking, he said, "That thing you're holding is called a potato, and the bag next to it contains sweet potato sprouts, both of which are enough to fill your stomach. So, what do you think? Isn't it a good thing for you to be my backer?"

After hearing what she said, Zhou Yuntian looked up at her. Seeing the smile in her eyes, he put down the potatoes in his hand, clapped his hands, stood up, and said softly, "I made a big profit from the beginning to the end."

Li Lan laughed happily after hearing what he said.

Looking at her bright face and her eyes bent with laughter, Zhou Yuntian couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and whispered in his heart: "Girl, I will definitely protect you."

"Oh my god, sister, this way, we won't be hungry anymore." Li Run said happily.

Li Lan patted Li Run's head, smiled and said softly, "Well, no one will go hungry from now on."

Zhou Yuntian understood what Li Lan said. Looking at her determined eyes and smiling face, it seemed as if her whole body was covered with a layer of light.

With admiration in his eyes, he walked to Li Lan and said softly, "Thank you."

Li Lan was startled, then looked up at him with a smile in his eyes, looking at her gently. Her body trembled, her ears turned red, and she forgot to react for a moment.

"Sister, look, my brother-in-law looks so handsome when he smiles." Li Run said with a grin.

"Yeah, it's really beautiful." Li Lan was stunned and whispered in response to his words.

After hearing her words, Zhou Yuntian's eyes curved down and the corners of his mouth turned up a little, all showing that their owner was extremely happy.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Lan reacted, coughed lightly, and immediately turned his head away, muttering in his heart: "You bastard, even with your face painted so black, you still look so good when you smile."

"Host, we still have to complete the mission. You can't be distracted by beauty." Xiaobao reminded nervously.

Li Lan frowned after hearing what Xiao Bao said and warned, "Don't eavesdrop on my thoughts, little brat, or I'll spank you."

Xiaobao: "..."

"Little brother, go get some hay and firewood with your second brother to burn the ash."

"Okay, sister, I'll go find my second brother right away." Li Run said, and ran to find Li Hang.

Li Lan looked Zhou Yuntian up and down, his eyes lingering on the wooden stick he was holding. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you're leaning on the stick, it's to gain my sympathy and prove that you're fine. Then let's work together."

After saying that, he pulled out a switchblade from his sleeve, opened it, squatted down and began to demonstrate how to cut potatoes, saying, "Just like me. Do you understand?"

Zhou Yuntian looked deeply at the knife in her hand and nodded.

"Do you have a knife?"

After hearing her words, Zhou Yuntian pulled out a dagger from his chest. The hilt and scabbard each held a deep blue gem, surrounded by beautiful vintage patterns. When the scabbard was removed, the blade was completely snow-white, its edge gleaming with brilliance.

"Nice dagger." Li Lan stood up and said sincerely. After that, he looked at his legs again and walked towards the house in front.

Zhou Yuntian listened to her praise, watched her retreating figure, and chuckled softly. Then he lifted his robe, squatted down, picked up a potato with his slender fingers, and began to cut it into pieces with the dagger in his hand. He repeated this over and over again, gradually becoming more skilled and his movements faster and faster.

The dry wind blew, lifting two strands of hair on his forehead. Although his face was dark and he was wearing a coarse linen shirt, his charm was fully revealed.

When Li Lan came over with a small wooden stool, he saw this scene from afar. His heart trembled slightly, and his originally clear eyes flickered. He wondered in his heart, "What the hell, do I like African colors? Am I sick?"

Thinking of this, she touched her forehead with her hand and found that it was not hot.

She shook her head vigorously, walked forward slowly, and said awkwardly: "Sit on the stool and do it slowly. Don't open the wound, otherwise you will have to trouble me again."

After saying that, without giving him a reaction, he grabbed his arm and lifted it up easily, stuffed the stool under him, pressed his shoulders to make him sit down, and completed the series of actions in one go.

Zhou Yuntian, who was forced to sit on the stool, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and chuckled softly, saying softly, "Thank you."

"Don't laugh." Li Lan, who had just walked to the opposite side of him and squatted down, blurted out when he heard his low and magnetic laughter.

"Huh?" Zhou Yuntian asked with a puzzled smile.

Li Lan turned his head away, coughed, looked at the cut potatoes next to him, and said, "Are you very fast? You've cut so many in just a short while."

Zhou Yuntian saw that she was trying to change the subject, so he didn't point it out and said softly, "Not bad."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth.
