Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Yan Dahu patted his chest and said, "Mrs. Hou, I'll take the beating!"

Huo Yunchao punched Yan Dahu and said, "Okay, Yan Dahu, get out of the way!"

After being punched by Pingle Hou, Yan Dahu not only didn't get angry, but left happily.

Xu Ning looked at Huo Yunchao, smiling with tears in his eyes: "Ms. sir, you shouldn't have deceived me."

Huo Yunchao looked at the crying Xu Ning, feeling flustered and not knowing how to respond: "Mother Ning, I, I don't want you to worry..."

Xu Jing looked at Huo Yunchao quietly, giving him enough time to prepare an excuse.

Huo Yunchao got stuck as he spoke, and said, "Ning Niang, I don't want to lie to you. If there is a next time, I will still choose to hide it and not report it."

Xu Ning burst into tears and smiled: "I knew it! That's all, I don't want to be a constraint for you, Mr. Xiang. As long as you remember that you are good, our whole family can be good."

Both are prosperous and devastated. Without the backbone of Huo Yunchao, their family will be in disarray.

Huo Yunchao breathed a sigh of relief but felt guilty at the same time: "Ning Niang, I promise to take good care of myself."

Xu Ning nodded, pointed at the still rumbling Western Mountain, and asked, "Ms. sir, do you want to use black powder to blast the mountains to get rocks, and use the rocks to build river embankments directly?"

Huo Yunchao took advantage of Xu Ning's steps to come down and told her his plan seriously: "I still have to see if the blasted stone can be used directly. If it can be used directly, it is naturally the best. If not, it will cost a lot of manpower. Material and financial resources are needed to repair the blasted stones into stone.”

When the rocks stopped rolling down, Jia Er and the centurion volunteered to go forward to check. They worked together to get a piece of stone and sent it to Huo Yunchao: "Master Hou, please take a look."

Huo Yunchao looked at it again and again, then turned to Xu Ning and said, "Mother Ning, come here and smash this stone in half."

Yan Dahu courteously presented the hammer: "Mrs. Hou, please."

Xu Ning asked everyone to step back. She held the handle of the hammer with her slender and weak hands, calmly swung the big hammer, and then dropped it hard!

Only a "bang" sound was heard, the sound of the hammer colliding with the boulder, and soon there was a clicking sound. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Ning smashed the hammer, which was more than one meter wide and weighed more than 200 kilograms. The big stone was hammered into three pieces.

Huo Yunchao stepped forward to check it in person, then turned to find the craftsman: "Is this stone hard enough?"

The craftsman's eyes unconsciously fell on Xu Ning's beautiful face, and then looked at the big stone that she had broken into three pieces with a hammer. There was not the slightest bit of charming thoughts that she shouldn't have.

"Back to the Marquis, this stone is enough to build the river embankment."

Pinglehou can blow up mountains, and Mrs. Hou is born with supernatural powers. What a match made in heaven!

Huo Yunchao didn't know what the craftsman was thinking, so he said happily: "Did you hear that? Let's just use these stones to build the river embankment, which will save a lot of trouble!"

The craftsman was rich in experience. He took the initiative to say to Huo Yunchao: "Master Hou, I have roughly calculated that these stones are not enough to build the river embankment. There is still at least 30% of the stones missing. In addition to the stones, there is also a big gap in the adhesive used to build the wall... "

Listening to the materials listed by the craftsman, Huo Yunchao told the craftsman: "Just list the missing materials, and it is best to also write down the replacement materials. Just tell me what materials are missing, and I will find a way to get them together."

The craftsman couldn't help but asked curiously: "Master Marquis, why are you in such a hurry to build the river embankment?"

Huo Yunchao pointed to the sky, pretending to be mysterious and said: "The Imperial Master is observing the sky at night, and His Majesty sent a special message to tell us that we are going to have heavy rains either this year or next year. If the river embankments are not repaired in time, we may not be able to withstand the surging floods."

The craftsman didn't expect Huo Yunchao to tell him the reason directly, and he was so frightened that he couldn't find his voice for a long time.

Jia Er believed it to be true.

He had previously handed over several secret edicts sent from the capital, all of which were secret edicts assigned by Emperor Yong'an to Huo Yunchao.

The centurion and others didn't have any special ideas. They could do whatever they were asked to do, as long as they were given food and wages.

The effect of the first wave of black gunpowder was good, but it was far from what Huo Yunchao wanted. He led the centurion and others to continue to upgrade the formula of black gunpowder.

At noon the next day, Huo Yunchao once again led the centurion and others to use black gunpowder to blast the mountain to extract stones. Today's black gunpowder was far more powerful than yesterday. The stones rolled down. The stones were large and small, but they were generally more even in size than yesterday. .

"Not bad, not bad!" Huo Yunchao looked at the stones of about the same size and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. "These stones are just the right size and are suitable for transporting and building walls."

The craftsman nodded at the side: "Master Hou, you are right! These stones are hard enough and are a perfect material for building river embankments."

Lu Changle is staying at home in the refugee area. She is weaving bamboo baskets and chatting with her grandfather while working: "Grandpa, we have work to do again tomorrow. I heard Mrs. Xu say that it seems like moving rocks."

Grandpa Lu said with a smile: "Moving rocks? This work is very tiring."

Lu Changle is not afraid of hardship. She is full of expectations for her new job tomorrow: "Grandpa, I'll move with my mother-in-law. It doesn't matter if it's slower, as long as you do enough."

Uncle Lu said: "Changle, when I finish making lunch, I will go over and help."

Lu Changle shook his head fiercely: "Second uncle, your injury is not healed yet. Moving rocks is heavy work, so don't do the heavy work yet. Brother, please persuade second uncle!"

Lu Changping gave some words of advice and changed the subject: "There was another rumbling sound from the Xishan Mountain, and many people ran over to watch the excitement."

Grandpa Lu understood what Changsun said and asked him: "Changping, do you want to go see the fun?"

"I want to know what Pinglehou is doing there." Lu Changping did not deny it.

Mr. Lu also wanted to know what Xishan was doing to make such a big noise: "Then go over and have a look. Don't get too close, and don't make Pinglehou unhappy."

Lu Changle wanted to go with him, but Grandpa Lu stopped him: "Changle, stay at home Ansheng and tell me about Mrs. Hou and Mr. Hou."

Lu Changle craned his neck to watch Lu Changping leave, and it took him a while to adjust his mood: "Master, Mrs. Hou is ten times, no, a hundred times more beautiful than the landowner's young master's beauty picture! Mrs. Hou is kind-hearted, she doesn't dislike me anymore It's dirty and smelly, please give me a handkerchief..."

At this point, Lu Changle felt a burning gaze. She turned around and saw that it was her biological father who was pretending to be sick and not working. She turned away and took out a silk handkerchief from her pocket: "Master, look, this is It's the handkerchief Mrs. Hou lent me, I plan to wash it and return it."

Grandpa Lu was about to speak but stopped. How could Mrs. Hou, who was so valuable, take back a handkerchief that had been used by a homeless person? But he was afraid that what he said was too straightforward and would hurt his eldest granddaughter's heart.

Before Mr. Lu could speak, Lu Changle's father snatched the silk handkerchief away without saying a word: "Give it to me!"
