Chapter 35 The Wolf Pack Arrives
During the meal, Qin Jing was no longer easily startled by what Ye Musi said.
"Sister-in-law, this is so delicious! From now on, let's eat at your place, and we'll pay!" Qin Jing's forehead was slightly sweaty; he was spicier than the braised chili peppers.
Jingxue shook her head, "That won't do! I don't have that much time!"
Qin Jing: You really don't give me any face at all! Let's cherish this hard-won delicious food!
Ye Musi was eating an ear of corn. As expected of someone of royal lineage, his table manners were impeccable! After finishing the corn, he didn't forget to wipe his mouth with a napkin, which Jing Xue had secretly taken out!
"Third Sister-in-law, this is called potato, it's quite good. It would be great if we could grow it in Beiye!" Ye Musi said, pointing to the potatoes on the plate.
"Of course you can. Potatoes have a short growth cycle; they can be eaten in 60 days and harvested in 100 days. They are also very drought-resistant and easy to store. The same goes for corn."
"Corn can also be threshed and ground into cornmeal, which can then be used to make porridge and dry food! I plan to plant it here next year!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Jing quickly said, "I want to plant some too! Cousin-in-law, could you sell some seeds to my cousin?"
Oh my god! Teddy Jing again!
"Okay, by the way, you can't tell anyone about the food I'm providing to the army, especially not Ye Muchen!" Jingxue began to emphasize.
Qin Jing glanced at Ye Musi, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
"Third sister-in-law, third brother, he... he is actually... a good person!" Ye Musi didn't know what to say.
Jingxue sighed. The reason she was in such a hurry to find someone to cooperate with was that she wanted to get the space upgrade sorted out first, and then make time to divorce Ye Muchen.
"I consider you two friends. You can call me by my name directly, you don't need to call me sister-in-law. We'll handle my own affairs with Ye Muchen!"
Hearing Jingxue's words, the two secretly worried for Ye Muchen.
"Just let me know in advance when you need the grain, and I'll find a suitable place to pick it up. My point is, try not to take it out if you can avoid it. If you really need it, remember not to be too ostentatious. As for the price, it won't exceed the market price. I won't make money off the army! But I won't give it away for free either; I also have costs to cover!"
Jingxue: I don't have that kind of power. The amount of food needed to feed tens of thousands of people is no small matter!
Qin Jing also became serious at this moment. In this time of food shortage, it was indeed a brain-racking thing for him to suddenly produce a large amount of grain.
Oh my god! My head is already throbbing!
"If the facts of this world can't be explained, then don't explain them. Otherwise, let the anonymous bear the burden. There are many people who do good deeds without leaving their names, haha!" Jingxue said seemingly casually, then picked up a chicken wing and started eating.
Qin Jing: Is this cousin-in-law a demon in disguise? She can read people's minds! Wait, if she really doesn't leave her name, doesn't that mean she has to pay out of her own pocket?
Oh my god! I feel so bad for his money!
Ye Musi: Why doesn't Third Brother cherish such an intelligent woman?
After writing his memorial last night, Ye Muchen thought it over and decided to discuss it with his elder brother, the Emperor. So, after the morning court session today, he went to the Hall of Diligent Governance.
The emperor agreed with his idea and asked him to find someone from the Ministry of Works to do a budget at the post station and see if a model village could be built nearby as soon as possible!
The two brothers also came up with a special name, "Military Village," which is very self-explanatory.
If it's feasible, we can roll it out next spring. As for the money, we'll figure out a solution later.
Ye Muchen and his men from the Ministry of Works spent the afternoon near the Ten-Mile Pavilion, urging them to complete the blueprints and budget as soon as possible.
Ye Muchen discussed with the emperor and planned to build a military village every five li, because the post stations were only thirty li apart, which was too far! It would be too slow to assemble in case of an emergency!
As soon as Ye Muchen and Gao Chi entered the Prince's Mansion, the steward greeted them and said that Jingxue had gone to the estate and would not be back for a few days. Ye Muchen returned to Lingyun Pavilion without saying anything.
Gao Chi felt truly sorry for his master, who was busy with military affairs all day long and had no one to confide in when he returned home.
I don't know what's wrong with these two. They seem like such a perfect match, but they just can't get along!
Forget it, I should just do what I'm supposed to do!
Serve your master well!
That evening, Jingxue was organizing the price list she wanted to give to Qin Jing in her spatial dimension. She planned to give him ten times the cost price.
Qin Jing said he would give Jingxue his rouge shop on West Street, along with the shopkeeper and the staff, and that he would send the deed over when he got back. Jingxue didn't refuse; she would visit often in the future and wouldn't take advantage of him.
Jingxue plans to turn that shop into a beauty and nail salon. Duobao Mall sells face masks and nail polish, but she hasn't figured out how to operate it yet!
"Awooo..." came the sound of animals outside.
Holy crap! It's a wolf howling!
As soon as Jingxue moved her mind and left the space, the door to Li Quan and his wife's room also opened.
Jingxue used her supernatural abilities to investigate outside the courtyard and found that it was indeed a pack of wolves, about 20 in total. The first two were white, and the rest were grayish.
Hey! There's a person in the tree. Could it be that this person brought the wolves here?
I have to sleep with one eye open all day!
When the door was opened, Li Quan was looking for farm tools in the woodpile, and the horse on the hitching post in the yard was pawing the ground restlessly with its hooves.
Seeing Jingxue come out, Li Quan turned around and said, "Miss, please go back inside quickly! A pack of wolves has come!"
At this moment, Jingxue heard Xiaobai start barking in the room next door as well.
Could it be that they're after Xiaobai?
"Uncle Li, don't rush, wait for me a moment!"
Jingxue went to An'an and Yingying's room. The little white wolf had already jumped out of the box and was stretching its neck and howling.
An'an and Yingying also woke up, a little dazed!
"An'an, where did you find Little White? There's a pack of wolves outside." Jingxue asked softly, afraid of scaring the two children.
“Sister, we found it by the roadside. We don’t know where it came from. It was following us!” An’an replied.
Yingying slipped off the floor, shuffling her shoes, and picked up Xiaobai. "Xiaobai, is someone looking for you? No, it's a wolf!"
Little White let out another howl.
“Sister, he said they are his parents!” Yingying looked up at Jingxue.
Jingxue...
real or fake?
Does this child understand animal language?
However, given that he can travel through time and manipulate plants, it's not surprising that other people's children understand animal language.
What about the people in the tree?
Are you just passing by or here to see the sunrise?
Sigh! Let's deal with the wolf pack first!
"Yingying, shall we return Xiaobai to its parents?" Jingxue said softly to the little girl, bending down.
The little girl pouted, tears welling up in her eyes. "Sister, I can't bear to part with Little White!"
"Yingying, Little White misses its mother too. Let it go back to its parents! Be good!"
Tears streamed down the little girl's face as she turned to look at her brother.
