Happiness System

"Okay, then your father will be waiting for you to show your filial piety!"

Meng Yiyun still didn't believe that his daughter could make it. If this thing could be made casually, how could it be sold at a sky-high price outside?

Meng Yuxi looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, so she waved her hand and left. "I'll show you what awesomeness is tomorrow morning!"

She ran to find Wen Yujin, and took him and his men up the mountain to burn charcoal.

Wen Yujin looked at her directing people around and was speechless, "Is the process of burning charcoal so simple?"

Dig a hole, lay out the wet wood neatly, and then light a fire...

It can only be said that the technical content is not high!

Meng Yuxi nodded and said, "Actually, it would be better if these woods were dried in the shade for two days, but we are in a hurry!

The temperature and the time of sealing the hole are also crucial. If it is too fast, it will not burn through and there will be thick smoke when used. If it is too slow, it will burn through and it will be as burn-resistant as ordinary firewood charcoal.

It doesn’t seem that simple!”

After instructing the people who stayed behind to watch over the kiln to pay close attention to the time of sealing the cave, they went down the mountain again.

They are still staying in the city today, and will set out tomorrow to continue building the new city.

The mountain here is a bit steep. Meng Yuxi is not good at walking and is lazy, so she insists on Wen Yujin carrying her.

Wen Yujin could only squat down and carry her on his back.

"Xi'er, you can't possibly burn bricks and porcelain, right?"

Wen Yujin compared the charcoal made by his wife and others with the silver-thread charcoal that his father-in-law bought at a high price, and felt that the ones made by his wife were better.

"How is that possible!" Meng Yuxi laughed awkwardly, "Actually, I seem to understand a little bit. Too sophisticated ones will definitely not work, but ordinary ones should be fine."

Wen Yujin pinched her little face and asked, "What other surprises do you have waiting for me?"

Meng Yuxi blinked her eyes. "Isn't the biggest surprise me?"

"Yes!" Wen Yujin pulled her hat up.

The Meng family and the Cen family are not like this. Could it be that my wife’s shamelessness and ability are gifts?

Meng Yuxi looked at the coal and asked, "Are they loaded onto the truck only after they have cooled down completely?"

Because there was not enough time, she didn't dare to burn too much, for fear that if she burned it for too long, there would not be enough time to cool down, and she was even more afraid that it would reignite after being exposed to air.

"I strictly followed Madam's instructions. The charcoal was still warm when it was taken out. We took out the wood and cooled it thoroughly before packing it in bags and transporting it down."

They are naturally aware of the power of the rekindled Dark Fire and will not be careless.

Meng Yuxi nodded, and then they moved the things into the car.

When they set off again, braziers were lit on the two carriages.

Because no news had been received yet, the rest of the journey was quite relaxed, and Meng Yuxi even had time to take her father and brother to collect herbs.

The collected medicinal herbs are easy to handle. Those that need to be dried are spread directly on the freight carriage. Some that require special treatment are also placed in winnowing baskets for drying.

After walking for two days, they arrived at the no-man's land. It was indeed an undeveloped treasure land, with wild vegetables and medicinal herbs everywhere.

Now is a great time to pick herbs, even the wild vegetables are old!

Xiaoqiu, Xiaoxia and a few other family members in the team love to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms when the team stops.

As for medicinal herbs, they don’t need too many of the common ones, and they can’t even remember the rare ones!

So it is more practical to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms!

Meng Yiyun and his son finally became excited. Now it was finally time for them to show their value!

As soon as the team stopped, they would actively carry their baskets to collect herbs.

I really admire Meng Yuxi, who only wants to be lazy!

Those who advise others to study medicine will be struck by lightning. This is said because of medical disputes and the fact that studying medicine is indeed very hard.

Meng Yuxi felt that she had not made any achievements in medicine, it must be because she was too lazy!

After nearly ten days of stopping and starting, their current progress is not even as fast as walking!

Fortunately, the people who went to select the site decided on the location and came back to find them!

This road is naturally not easy to travel, as this is an area that has not been developed yet.

The reason why the progress slowed down here is largely because of the road construction.

Now that they had found the location to build the city, they naturally no longer had to worry about building roads. They marked places everywhere and put up flags in the distance. Their speed was increased and they arrived at the selected location the next day.

Wen Yujin and Meng Yiyun also quickly divided the area and chose the location to build the mansion.

The situation on the Wen family's side was relatively fine, with more than a hundred laborers all coming over.

The Meng family had a lot fewer people. When the family split up, they only got five guards, and recruited ten more. Including the master and servants, the whole family was less than thirty people!

However, the Wen family will naturally not sit idly by.

At this time, the wood that Meng Yuxi had people dismantle from the boat came in handy. By piecing them together, they were able to build two wooden houses!

Wen Yujin asked Wen Cheng and the housekeeper to stay in the camp to clear the grass and trees. He took Meng Yuxi around to find soil and a location suitable for making bricks.

We got nothing in the first two days, mainly because the soil was not suitable, but we did find a suitable location for burning charcoal.

This was considered profitable, so Wen Yujin immediately asked a few people to come out and burn charcoal.

After searching for another two days, when the grass and trees on the foundation were almost cleared, they finally found suitable soil. Similarly, the official craftsmen also found another place...

"Brother Jin, that's great, we'll have a home again soon!"

Meng Yuxi was filled with hope when she saw everyone busy at work.

Wen Yujin hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Yes, we have a home! When the house is built, let's have a baby, right? If you don't like it, just have one, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl!"

When my little niece peed, pooped, or cried, my wife ran away faster than anyone else. It’s obvious that she likes children. Her requirements are not high, she just wants to have one!

I didn’t expect him to say this. Meng Yuxi was stunned for a moment before she said, “Okay! Once the house is built, we’ll have a child!

But let me make this clear first, I'm only responsible for giving birth, you take care of the rest!"

If she doesn't have children, there are many women who rush to him and want to have children for him. There is no such thing as DINK in this era. And she doesn't dislike children, she just may not have enough patience and dislikes the trouble.

Anyway, she will have a maid when she gives birth, so we can find a wet nurse and a nanny when the time comes, so there is no need to worry too much!

"Okay! It's a deal!" Wen Yujin was very happy that his wife was willing to give birth to a child for him.

The two of them looked forward to their future life and then continued to work.

Meng Yuxi watched people firing bricks. Perhaps because there was no coal, the fire was not strong enough. She adjusted the recipe several times and added some private materials before she finally succeeded in firing the bricks.

At this time, the foundation of the main house had been laid.

While making bricks, Meng Yuxi also developed a new type of cement.

This one did not use any private goods, but it also used things she had extracted from animals and plants in Luli Continent before.

A rough version of low-quality cement combined with those things was simply the perfect adhesive, but unfortunately she collected too little, only enough to build a few houses.

By the time the walls of the house were completed and the beams were put up and ready to be covered with tiles, the first snow had already fallen sparsely.

After a few snowfalls and thawings, the houses of the Wen and Meng families have been built. Of course, they are not completely built, only part of them. The rest will have to wait until the snow melts next year.

Before, various families came to the Wen family and wanted to rent manpower, but Wen Yujin refused and sent the people out to help the government build resettlement homes.

Meng Yuxi didn't want a bunch of relatives to come and stay with her, so after asking the officials for their opinions, she fenced off a piece of land on the other side and built a yard at the same time.

The yard over there is naturally not as good as the one they live in, but it is much better than the resettlement home.

She didn't know how her relatives and friends were going to live, but they had to come and ask for help, so she would pick those with good luck and put them there.

Her Wen family doesn't have such good things as provided food, accommodation and service!

Before most of the people arrived, they chose an auspicious day and moved into their new home.

The Meng family's house was built next door to the Wen family. Mu Yao did not mind the trouble and came over with her child to play with Meng Yuxi every day.

"Brother, are you studying medicine in the study again?"

Meng Yuxi saw her little niece smiling at her and reached out to hold her in her arms.

Mu Yao smiled and nodded, "There's nothing else to do!"

What she didn't say was that her husband followed the imperial physician to the clinic at the construction site yesterday. He originally wanted to learn about injuries from falls, but because he didn't have enough strength, he was beaten to a pulp by the imperial physician. Today he was so devastated that he hid in his room and questioned his life.

"Sister-in-law, you should take care of him too! Winter is still long, and the new Tianyuan City has not been built yet. Some things can be thought about slowly!"

Meng Yuxi felt that there was no need to focus on medical skills. Although there were few children nowadays, there were still some. Once the city was built, she could open an academy to teach, or even a bookstore.

As for her father, she felt that his talent in medicine was average. Although he was well-versed in medicine, Meng Yuxi still felt that he was more suitable to continue on the path of literature. He had a solid foundation and many students, so it would be smooth sailing. Especially now that he was in good health and could go out, it was really suitable!

Mu Yao just smiled and said, "You should think about it carefully. Your brother is smart. It doesn't matter which path he takes. As long as he likes it and is happy, it's fine.

Isn’t it, Xiaoxiao, your daddy is very powerful, isn’t he? "

Xiaoxiao grinned and cooperated with a "ah", then started giggling.

Meng Yuxi put her on the couch, and the little girl moved her hands and feet happily like a turtle paddling in the water.

After chatting for a while, Mu Yao said, "The meat can't be frozen now. I thought of asking someone to learn how to make some smoked meat from the chef in my sister's family. I wonder if it would be convenient?"

"Sister-in-law, you're too polite. There's no secret recipe to this. If you put more ingredients, it will have a better taste. If you put less, it will be the original flavor...

My family likes the taste here, so my sister-in-law can just ask someone to come and learn how to cook. If there are any missing ingredients, just let the kitchen know and get them!"

"You! You're the only one who doesn't take the recipe seriously!"

"It's just my family. When have other sisters-in-law ever seen me being generous?"

"Too!"

After playing for half an hour, Xiaoxiao fell asleep. Seeing Wen Yujin coming back, Mu Yao immediately picked up the child and said goodbye.

Wen Yujin hung up his cloak and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Meng Yuxi shook her head. "Maybe he was too bored at home, so he came to play with me! Just wait for the people behind to come over. By then, it will be too busy to take care of me."

Wen Yujin twitched recently, "It will indeed be very lively!" Noisy!

Now the land is completely frozen, so it is impossible to build a house.

Not every company is like them, they have the people and the technology.

He also wanted to see the expressions of those people who came here with great expectations, only to find out that their own houses had not been built and they had to rent government resettlement houses.
