Farming and reading lady

"Thank you for the compliment, General." Gu Xixian was not modest. Deep down, she still hoped that some things could be brought to life in this era. This way, at least she could prove that she existed and her trip was not in vain.

Yin Yang's eyes were also shining. He liked this, he liked it very much, he wanted to learn it, he should be able to seize this opportunity, right?

Lian Gu Xihao was looking at his sister with burning eyes. His sister didn't teach him this set of skills, so he didn't dare to be dissatisfied, but he said that he wanted to learn it.

Duanmu Tangchen was moved and shocked. It seemed that the little girl spent a lot of time learning this when he was away. And learning this was more because of missing him. It was a pity that the sentence "I was born when you were old" had determined the miss of this life. He had a wife, a house and a son, and she would also have a husband, a house and a son.

"What do you think, Brother Chen, am I super awesome?" Gu Xixian looked like he was ready to praise me.

"Well, very good!" He gave her a thumbs up. She has always been the best girl in his heart.

Gu Xixian kept laughing, which showed that he was very happy. Gu Xihao came over and tapped his sister's shoulder, signaling with his eyes. Gu Xixian understood immediately, pulled him to stand in front of Duanmu Tangchen, blinked at him and said, "Brother Chen, this is my brother Gu Xihao, do you still remember him?"

Duanmu Tangchen looked at her with amusement. He blinked his eyes, not afraid of twitching. He held her head with his hands, nodded to Gu Xihao, and said, "Brother Hao."

Gu Xihao also laughed and called out, "Brother Chen."

The three of them exchanged glances, and everything was self-explanatory. As for the identity test, they had passed it. As for the other test, there would be plenty of opportunities to communicate slowly in the future. In fact, before the three of them had more opportunities to communicate, General Yang had already squeezed in between them. He rubbed his hands, with a smile on his face like the Big Bad Wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood: "Little girl, come on, come on, tell me where you learned this set of boxing? Can you teach it to others?"

Gu Xixian was stunned for a moment. What do you mean by "can it be passed on to others"? Oh, she suddenly thought that in this era, everything is about inheritance, especially Kung Fu. Apart from children, there are only disciples, and it will not be passed on easily. She thought for a while and said, "It should be impossible, but I can teach it to my brother Chen."

As for what Duanmu Tangchen was going to do, she didn't care, she had already given him a legitimate reason. As for herself, there were still some rules to follow, and doing something too out of line would bring unnecessary trouble to herself.

"Okay, then Duanmu boy, learn well." General Yang was also a perceptive person. The little girl said it in a tactful way. If he had a thicker skin, he could find a good excuse and give her a way out. At this moment, he saw that the little girl in front of him was very happy: "Young boy Yang, your brothers and sisters rarely come here, so take them for a good look."

Gu Xixian…They have all finished shopping, haven’t they?

Yin Yang pulled a bitter face and said, "Uncle Yang, come on, your legs are almost broken, and you still want to go shopping?"

"Oh, ahahaha, young man, walking more is good for your health, what are you afraid of." General Yang excused himself, he looked up at the sky: "Well, it looks like it's almost time for lunch, come on, let me show you the feast in our barracks."

Gu Xixian's eyes flashed, and she was just about to get a detailed understanding of the military camp's food in order to prepare for the next step. She held her brother's hand with one hand and her brother Chen's hand with the other, and they both understood what it meant.

Yin Yang curled his lips. What kind of feast is this? It's good enough to fill his stomach. He has been in the military camp before. Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Gu Xihao winking at him. The words turned around in his mouth and became: "Oh, that's great. I'm hungry. Thank you, Uncle Yang."

"Hahaha, Yang is getting better at speaking. It's different this time in the capital. He's even starting to speak in a more literary way." General Yang waved his hand...

Yin Yang jumped away quickly. He didn't want to be knocked to the ground by a palm.

General Yang, who had lost all his strength, staggered forward two steps and steadied himself. He withdrew his hand with an awkward smile, cursing his son in his heart. This damn kid didn't even bother to come and help his father. What's the point of having a son?

Yang Mao, who was innocently implicated, received a cold stare from his father, which was very confusing.

The others looked straight ahead and pretended not to see it.

Normally, a general should have his own small canteen, but General Yang, who loved his soldiers like his own sons, usually ate with them, so the group was taken directly to the large barracks for dining.

There were dozens of tables filled with people, but apart from the sound of eating, there was no noise. The soldiers who were still waiting for their meals were lined up in an orderly manner without making a sound, as if they were used to eating with the general. The arrival of the group did not cause much commotion. Everyone just greeted the general, then took a curious look at him and went about their business.

After the meal, Gu Xixian and his sister really felt the hardship of the soldiers in the northern border. The coarse grain pancakes were so black and coarse that they made their throats hurt. They didn't know what was mixed in them. They tasted bitter, hard and astringent. There were no vegetables. The only soup had a few oily spots and a few vegetable leaves floating on it. The soldiers ate this food that was hard for them to swallow with great relish.

Gu Xixian felt very sad when she saw this, and it also strengthened her determination to promote sweet potatoes to northern Xinjiang.

After coming out, she pulled her brother's sleeve. Gu Xihao understood immediately. He bowed to General Yang and said, "General, do you have any intention to improve the soldiers' food?"

General Yang smiled bitterly: "My child, there is no general who doesn't want to treat his soldiers well."

"Then I have an idea. I wonder if the general would like to listen to it?" Gu Xihao spoke slowly.

General Yang stared at him. He was a young man who had not yet grown up, but he did not jump around impatiently. Instead, he was very calm and cold. He did not seem to be joking!

"Tell me about it." He had no intention of looking down on it.

"It's better to rely on yourself than on heaven and earth." Gu Xihao pointed to the large piece of wasteland outside the military camp and said, "I'm sure the general knows about sweet potatoes. When there is no war, the soldiers can use their free time to open up wasteland and plant potatoes."

General Yang was disappointed: "I know that someone has found a method to increase the yield of this crop in recent years, but you may not know that this crop is a southern product and I don't think it can be grown in the northern border."

"General, you are wrong. This crop is not picky about soil. It has strong vitality and can be planted in sandy soil as well." Gu Xihao remained calm.

"The child is ignorant. Oranges in the south are different from tangerines in the north. How can you confuse them?" General Yang scolded.

Gu Xihao was not frightened, and he slowly said, "When it comes to leading troops in battle, I am really ignorant, but when it comes to crops, especially the knowledge of sweet potatoes, the general is not as good as me."

General Yang thought, haha, Yin Yang raised his hand: "I can testify to this, Uncle Yang, my brother Hao did not lie, the method to increase sweet potato production was invented by my brother Hao and his grandfather."

He only found out about this when he heard his elder brother talk about it by chance.
