"Ayan, the weather has been good this year and the crops have been bumper to harvest. My eldest brother visited your farm a few days ago and found that the crops in your farm are also very good." Chu Yunze praised.

Chu Yunyan was praised by her elder brother and said happily: "The food will be stored here."

Since Chu Yunyan took over Zhuangzi from Zhou Sui, she had a comprehensive understanding of Zhuangzi. Since Zhou Sui had not taken over Zhuangzi for a long time, the entire Zhuangzi was only for management, and originally a simple block was carried out. After division and transformation, the fertile soil areas are used to grow vegetables and fruits, while the relatively average soil areas are used to grow grains. Based on the water conditions in Zhuangzi, she found someone to transform the irrigation canals.

Now that it has entered early winter, the crops have been harvested. Most farmers will store grain for use in the winter. Some farmers with surplus grain will sell some grain to exchange for some money.

"This year is a good year, and the price of food should be lower than in previous years." Chu Yunze said.

"The low price of grain hurts farmers, but even if it is cheap, it is still better than in the famine years. At least the people can have food and don't have to go hungry." Chu Yunyan said.

"What Ayan said makes sense. This warehouse will be put into use soon. I have already started the work of purchasing grain. Our business is not originally a way to make money, so I will not maliciously lower the grain price." Price." Chu Yunze said seriously.

Chu Yunyan said: "Brother, I have other ideas. I wonder if you are willing to listen to them and see if there are any merits."

Chu Yunze naturally nodded. He now likes to hear his sister say that he has an idea, because every idea she has is extremely shocking to him.

The brother and sister entered the nearby Fulin Villa. Qiuyue, who was busy in the village, heard that the young lady and the young master were coming. She happily dropped her work and came to the house.

"Sir, miss! Why didn't you ask someone to send a message to this slave in advance to make preparations?" Qiuyue said happily.

Chu Yunyan smiled and said, "I didn't tell you just because I was afraid that you would be busy. How about it? Are you still getting used to being here during this time?"

"Don't worry, Miss. It's pretty good here. I didn't know how to get started at the beginning. There are more things here than when I was in the mansion. But because of the instruction manual given by Miss, I quickly got started. Now I can say that I'm very comfortable with it." ." Qiuyue's face was always filled with a sunny smile.

Chu Yunyan looked at the smile on Qiu Yue's face and knew that her words were not false, so she felt that her arrangement was correct. She smiled and said, "That's good. Then you can help me do more things in the future."

"Well, don't worry, young lady, I will do my best to do my job." Qiuyue nodded heavily and assured.

Chunlan made tea aside and asked the servants in the village to prepare a few cakes. Then she left the room and went to chat with Qiuyue, while Ningyue stood guard outside the house.

"Brother, how long can the food stored in our warehouse be kept without deterioration?" Chu Yunyan asked.

Chu Yunze thought for a while and said: "It is not a big problem to store it for ten years. Of course, it is just to ensure that it does not deteriorate. If the quality is definitely deteriorated, it may become dull and even have some musty smell. This kind of old grain is called It’s old rice. Old rice can be used to make military rations and is qualified, but if it is sold on the market, people may not buy it and eat it home.”

Chu Yunyan nodded, indicating that she understood, and said: "We definitely can't store the grain for such a long time. We should try to make the cycle of food flow and replacement in the warehouse as short as possible."

"Brother, I think so too." Chu Yunze looked at Chu Yunyan and said this, her eyes became even brighter.

"Brother, what I want to do is to grind the wheat into powder and then make it into a food that is more convenient to carry and eat. Let's see if anyone buys it." Chu Yunyan said.

"I wonder what kind of food A Yan is talking about?" Chu Yunze asked curiously.

"I wonder, brother, do you want to see the whole process of making this kind of food, or just see how it is made? If you want to see the whole process of making it, it will take about two days. If you don't have time, just wait two days and see the results directly.

I happened to come to this village today, and I plan to let them do it now. "Chu Yunyan asked.

After hearing what Chu Yunyan said, Chu Yunze immediately said: "Nothing can compare to implementing Ayan's novel ideas."

This is what Chu Yunze really thinks. It is far better to see his sister making some novel things than to be alone in the house.

Chu Yunyan called Chunlan and Qiuyue in, then ordered people to get some flour, salt and eggs, then found the two women in Zhuangzi's kitchen and started to sit up.

Chu Yunze watched from the side and directed the two women to mix the flour, water and salt according to the proportion she said, then knead, knead, move, beat and ball the dough around the basin, and then knead the dough repeatedly. After four times, the dough becomes smooth, soft and elastic.

Next, Chu Yunyan asked the woman to divide the mixed dough and knead it into large strips about three centimeters in diameter, and then put them on the kneading plate in a large pot to continue to keep warm.

Chu Yunyan said: "Brother, it will take more than an hour for the noodles to be made like this before proceeding to the next step. Why don't we have some lunch first and wait."

Chu Yunze naturally nodded in agreement.

Chu Yunyan took Chunlan and Qiuyue to the small vegetable garden in the village to pick some vegetables and fresh fruits. They took them to the kitchen and quickly prepared a table of dishes, including chickens raised in the village. The soup also contains refreshing green vegetables, meat and vegetables. Although it does not have an exquisite presentation, it has a unique and attractive aroma.

The brother and sister had lunch, and after the two women had eaten and rested for a while, almost an hour had passed. Chu Yunyan asked the woman to take the large noodles out of the basin, and rubbed them hard until they were like fingers. Normally thick, stretch and thin and continue to plate in the pot to keep warm.

"Brother, after the noodles are made like this, we will start the next process early tomorrow morning. If brother has anything to do, go and get busy first. I plan to stay in Zhuangzi tonight." Chu Yunyan said.

Chu Yunze thought that Chu Yunyan had been attacked many times recently, so he was worried about leaving her to sleep here alone, so he said: "Brother, I won't bother going back and forth anymore. My parents are not in the house anyway, and I will be alone when I go back. Today Brother Wan should also live here."

Chu Yunze immediately arranged for people to go to the Chu Mansion and Prince Zhan's Mansion to deliver the letters back.

Chu Yunyan asked Chunlan and Qiuyue to go down and clean the room.

In Zhuangzi in early winter, the night is quiet, even the sound of insects has disappeared.

Chu Yunyan was lying in a somewhat simple room, tossing and turning. Chunlan listened to the movement in the room and asked in a low voice: "Miss, can't you sleep?"

Chu Yunyan smiled helplessly and said: "Yeah, maybe I changed the place and I felt a little bit confused about the bed."

"Would you like me to chat with the young lady, or go out for a walk?" Chunlan asked softly.

Chu Yunyan sat up from the bed. Chunlan hurriedly got up and picked up a coat and put it on Chu Yunyan, saying: "It's late at night and you are exposed. Miss, please wear more clothes."

Putting on a back coat, Chunlan accompanied Chu Yunyan out of the room and sat down in the yard.

Chu Yunyan lifted her chin and looked up at the cold moonlight in the sky, and asked softly: "Chunlan, do you miss home?"

Chunlan was not prepared for the young lady to suddenly ask this question. She thought for a while and said, "I have left home since I was a child. I no longer remember what my home looks like."

Chu Yunyan sighed softly, maybe if she lives here for a while, will she gradually forget the world in her previous life?
