Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Xu Da and his wife drove the bullock cart towards the village in the valley with Lu Qingqing and his party behind them.

Xia Yun and Ziyao looked at the changes in the scene outside by the window, sighing that Qizhou is still rich in products. Look at the unknown trees outside that are full of fruits.

The branches are covered with bright yellow fruits, making people salivate just looking at them.

"Master, what are those yellow fruits? They look delicious."

Lu Qingqing turned her head and looked outside. It turned out to be a mango! It seemed that she hadn't eaten mangoes for a long time, and she started to swallow saliva just thinking about it.

"That's called mango. It's a delicious fruit. You can pick it and try it when you settle down."

Lu Qingqing looked outside at the mango trees that could be seen everywhere on the roadside, as well as a few scattered coconut trees, but it seemed that these maids were not interested in the huge coconut.

She pointed out to several people one by one and told them which fruits were edible. Biyun looked at her master with envy.

"Master, how do you know so much?"

Lu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and smiled mysteriously.

The sisters Guihua and Rou'er behind were also very excited. This was their first time in Qizhou. Not only did they see the legendary sea, but they also saw scenery that was different from the north.

Sister Rou'er felt extremely at ease at this moment, and the further away from the capital, the more at ease they felt.

"We're here, miss." At this time, Xu Da stopped in front of a house and shouted to the carriage behind.

Ling Feng and Xie Kui stopped the carriage. Several maids jumped out of the carriage first and helped their master down. Everyone looked at the house in front of them. The vermilion door, although it had not been occupied for a long time, was very clean.

Xu Da opened the door and led everyone into the courtyard. The maids and women behind him followed curiously and walked in. The layout inside was quite good and Lu Qingqing liked it.

"Master, this house doesn't seem to need any repairs. It's been taken care of very well."

Ling Feng looked at it and said to Lu Qingqing, who nodded in agreement.

Xu Da talked about this house at this time. Their master had asked them to help repair it once before, so if they wanted to live in it, they would just simply buy some extras.

There was a lot of furniture inside that the owner had not moved out before.

Lu Qingqing really liked the embroidered building in the house. Standing on it, she could see far away and see the sunrise over the sea.

"I wonder how much money the owner of Village Chief Xu wants to sell?" she asked, looking around.

Ziyao and the others behind him also liked this house very much. They just took a look around the house and saw only two families.

I heard from the village chief's wife that the two families moved here before because they had been hunting in the mountains. The population was relatively simple and they were pretty decent people.

Xu Da then stretched out five fingers towards Lu Qingqing and said sheepishly, the owner wants to sell the house for five thousand taels of silver. Not to mention that the house is still very new, the area is not small, and the furniture inside is all Here I am.

The land in the backyard was also sold together with the house. It is very precious to have so much land to grow something in this fishing village.

There is not much land near this fishing village, and basically every household makes a living by fishing.

Lu Qingqing also understood this, so she simply didn't bargain with him, and readily agreed, asking Xu Da when he could go to the deed of the house.

"That's great. If Miss can buy it, then I can take it with me to the Yamen to sign the contract. I wonder what Miss thinks?"

Lu Qingqing didn't care. She nodded gently and asked Ling Feng and Ziyue to go with him.

After saying that, Ziyao took out the 5,100 taels of silver notes and handed them to Xu Da. He looked at the extra 100 taels and said sincerely, "It's too much. Give it too much. Five thousand taels is enough."

Lu Qingqing smiled slightly: "These one hundred taels are for you to sign the deed, and the rest is for you. Thank you for your hard work."

When Xu Da's daughter-in-law heard this, she quickly took over. She didn't know her man's temperament. Seeing that her eldest son was about to get married, money was used everywhere, and she wanted to push it out if she could make money.

"Miss, don't worry, my family will handle this matter beautifully for you." As he said this, he pulled the corner of the man's clothes and angrily told him to do it carefully.

Xu Da glared at his mother-in-law, and then said to Lu Qingqing sheepishly, to reassure her that he would go right away.

After Ling Feng and Zi Yue walked away from Xu Da and his wife, they bowed to their master, turned around, and followed them out of the yard.

Lu Qingqing watched everyone leave and ordered Xia Yun to take a few people to clean out the yard and rooms to see what was missing and then go to the city to buy more.

"Okay, Master, please sit down first, and I will go right away."

After that, except Xie Kui who led the carriage to the stable in the backyard, everyone else took action and started cleaning. In fact, the yard was quite clean. It looked like Xu Da said that they often come to clean it.

It's just that no one has lived in the room for a long time. There is some dust and needs to be cleaned carefully.

Lu Qingqing walked slowly to the corridor outside the room, sat down there, and enjoyed the sunshine.

She liked this feeling very much. She had not basked in the sun like this for a long time. The weather in the capital was still very cold at this time.

After sunbathing on the porch, I fell asleep in a daze. Fortunately, Biyun ran over and took a look in her spare time.

Looking at his sleeping master, Biyun walked into the room and took out a cloak from his previous luggage and tiptoed over his master. Fortunately, there was no wind today and the weather was still very good.

When Lu Qingqing opened her eyes again, it was already noon. Biyun was doing needlework beside her. When she saw her master waking up, she put down the sewing basket in her hand.

"Master, are you awake? Are you hungry? Xia Yun just exchanged some rice and some dried fish from the surrounding villagers' houses, made some vegetable porridge and fried some vegetables."

She stretched lazily and asked if everything was cleaned so quickly. Have Ziyue and the others come back?

"Master Ziyue and the others came back early, and they came here to clean up together. They were able to finish the cleaning so quickly. As for the house, there are some bedding and some tea sets and dishes missing."

Lu Qingqing nodded lightly, raised her eyebrows and said that she would go to eat first, and then they would go to the town to have a look together.

"Okay Master, I will help you go."

"Your master, I am not weak in my legs and feet. I need help wherever I go. Let's go." Hearing his master's angry complaints, Biyun smiled sheepishly and said, wasn't he worried about his master and the little master in his belly?

The master and the servant came to the side hall chatting and laughing. Grandma Feng saw her master coming and called Osmanthus feng to go to the kitchen to bring the food.
