I was exiled and I took away my supplies and ran away with my whole family.

"You young people can just go. I'm going to arrange for some people to sell some sweet potatoes so that ordinary people whose families are about to run out of food can have a little more to eat during the New Year."

Shen Zhiheng dared to say this, not only because of the confidence brought by having an extra piece of land, but also because of the frighteningly high yield of sweet potatoes.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to mention it, for fear of tiring out his sweet baby.

When they harvested these two items, everyone except Shen Xingmian was shocked. They had never seen such a high-yield thing before, and it could be used as a staple food, and it tasted very good!

When setting the selling price, Shen Xingmian felt that since it was sold to the poor, it should be slightly cheaper. When trade can be carried out with each other in the future, the price could be slightly higher when sold to businessmen.

But these are all trivial matters and don’t matter.

Anyway, she can grow enough of this stuff in her space to feed the entire Northern Territory, and no one will starve to death here again.

The fire kang was also popularized by Shen Zhiheng. All families who are willing to use the land as a test field to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes in the coming year can apply for the benefits of soldiers helping to build the fire kang.

When I heard that the seeds came from the General's Office, no one was reluctant and they all signed up actively.

Normally, let alone talking to the general's mansion, just saying a few words to the ordinary soldiers would make those common people feel anxious.

There was nothing I could do. I was frightened out of my mind on the way to exile, and I panicked when I saw "an official".

Some young people have never experienced the pain of exile, but they have been deeply impressed by what they heard from their elders.

Everything was going smoothly. After Shen Xingmian was busy with the growth of crops, he had time to go out and join in the fun.

She and Xiao Yanyue were still dressed in ordinary looks, preparing to continue to put aside their relationship with the General's Mansion.

Although something may not happen, if it does, it will be more interesting. If you stay at home every day, everything you see outside will feel fresh.

She found it quite interesting just to see so many people.

In my cousin’s words, it’s like—oh, people are going crazy at home every day!

However, the cousin could still fight with Xiao Yanyue and consume some energy, while Shen Xingmian himself even consumed energy silently and became even more depressed.

The two of them soon arrived at the gate of the county town. Yes, this big gathering that happens every half month is not on the main street, but at the gate of the town, and there are also people outside.

Some were people from nearby villages, coming over to sell some odds and ends in exchange for some food rations.

When they arrived, there were several stalls steaming with steam, and the atmosphere was immediately heightened. Shen Xingmian's steps moved much faster.

She deliberately didn't eat enough in the morning and left some food in her belly, ready to try the delicious food outside.

When she got closer, she saw that there were wonton sellers, noodle sellers, and even one seller of haggis soup. It was amazing. She thought that no one here could afford meat among the poor.

Shen Xingmian was very receptive to food, and she could drink haggis soup, but she was worried that Xiao Yanyue wouldn't be able to stand the taste, so she chose small wontons.

"Boss, here are two small bowls -"

After finding a seat and sitting down, she shouted to the stall owner.

"Okay - wait a moment, sir!"

The boss is very enthusiastic, after all, there are really not many customers.

After a while, two steaming bowls of wontons came up. Use a spoon to scoop out one. When the cold wind blows, it no longer burns your mouth.

Shen Xingmian couldn't help complaining: "It's so cold today. Eat slowly, it will get cold later."

After complaining, he still turned around and said: "Eat it quickly!"

The two of them finished the wontons in no time. Don't worry, if you eat faster, your stomach will be warm and you will feel better. It's worth it.

When paying, Shen Xingmian was surprised to find that a bowl of wontons only cost five cents. The price was really low.

Even if it is so cheap, not many people are willing to eat it.

She saw several people looking at the stall, but eventually left.

Because she had experienced such embarrassment as a child, she had some understanding of this reluctance.

Yes, eating a bowl of wontons will not make you poor, but when you think about replacing it with brown rice, which can be enough for the whole family to eat for a few days, you can't bear to part with it at all.

When adults go out to the market, they are only willing to bring back some snacks for their children, but they themselves will not touch a bite.

This kind of love is great, but also very heavy.

She hopes that the kind people in the north can slowly live a prosperous life. As long as they work hard, they can have enough food and clothing, and even send their children to private schools.

Shen Xingmian did not dwell on the past, nor did she feel sad, but only felt full of motivation.

She can definitely achieve such a goal.

It's just a matter of time.

I believe that after trade with the outside world is enabled next spring, the situation will change dramatically. By then, these people will be able to see all the efforts made by the General's Office.

The two of them looked forward and saw that the county town was full of small vendors, and the things they sold were quite interesting. There are not many kinds of headbands, wooden hairpins of different shapes, and artistic sugar paintings.

The largest number of people gathered in front of the sugar paintings, all of them children, clamoring to buy them. The parents were helpless, but they could only wait aside.

Shen Xingmian sighed in his heart, children are so energetic, they can endure the cold and wait, but they don't know if they will catch a cold after returning home.

She scanned back and forth twice and found that there were not many children on the whole street, almost all of them concentrated here.

Also, it's so cold that most parents won't take their children out.

Walking further, there are several pork sellers. I guess they came here early to set up their stalls during the last market of the year.

There are many people in front of the stall. In order to have a good New Year, even poor people will cut off a few taels of meat during the New Year.

Listening to those accents that were very close to Northeastern dialect, Shen Xingmian felt that they were quite friendly.

No wonder everyone was discussing it online. Some friends from Heilongjiang were shocked to find that their home was in "Ninggu Pagoda". Some people said that they turned out to be "barbarians".

Listening to TV dramas every day, I always thought that I was on the protagonist's side, but it turned out that I was on the villain's side. How could I not be shocked?

Listening to this familiar accent, Shen Xingmian felt a little more at home with this place.

There are also people selling homemade cotton-padded jackets here, but the business is not very good. After all, these things can be said to be "luxury goods" for ordinary people in the north.

And rich people will not buy this kind of poor workmanship.

What's more, people who have a little bit of money have already bought their cotton-padded jackets and won't wait until the end of the year.

It seems that he can only wait for someone's whim to wear new clothes for the New Year before his business can be opened.

Shen Xingmian was about to walk away when he was suddenly pulled by someone, and Xiao Yanyue's voice came to his ears, "Mianmian, let's buy two of these cotton-padded clothes."
