The poor man grows watermelon

At the end of the year, relatives and friends walk around each other, even if it is half a bag of grain or a small square of meat, it is considered a heart.

Su Ye didn't think about this at first, but he didn't expect that Jia Ding and Bian Huan were the first to send people to Yujia Village to give the New Year gifts.

Thinking it was a busy year, they didn't come in person, but the New Year ceremony was very heavy.

The pottery pots that Bianhuan sent as usual, compared with the simple and practical ones before, this time they are a bit more ornamental.

Jia Ding's gift can be said to have been sent to Su Ye's heart - fennel, star anise, cloves, plus the local prickly ash and cinnamon, just make up the "five spices".

Su Ye smiled, "The seasoning for the stew is complete."

Fortunately, Jia Ding did not hear these words, otherwise he would cry to death.

That's spice, spice!

Precious spices specially bought from the Western Regions!

But you use it for cooking?

As everyone knows, whether it is tall spices or beautiful ornamental plants, as long as they come to my foodie country, they will step down from the altar and serve on the table without exception.

What Su Ye sent back to the two seniors was fresh game from the mountains, plus bean curd sticks and soybean oil. The things were not expensive, but very novel.

Mu Feng actually took the initiative to send someone to bring the New Year gift, and it was his confidant boy——Yan Xiaolu.

It's an exaggeration to say I'm flattered, but it's almost the same.

The reason why Su Ye and Yu Feng didn't take the initiative to give Mu Feng a new year gift was because they subconsciously felt that the other party was the county magistrate, and if they were in a rush to curry favor, it would probably be annoying.

Unexpectedly, the other party offered an olive branch.

Yan Xiaolu held a box that was more than a foot long in his arms, and handed it to Su Ye with a smile, "This is a bamboo slip brought by my adults from home. It is said that it is suitable for doll enlightenment, and I will give it to the little twins at home."

The box was a bit heavy, Yu Feng was afraid that Su Ye would be tired, so he quickly took it.

Su Ye secretly sighed, in this era where knowledge and skills are mainly passed on by word of mouth, this gift can be said to be quite sincere - ordinary people can't buy it even if they want to.

"I sincerely miss you, Mr. Su is very grateful." He bowed politely.

Yan Xiaolu turned sideways and returned a gift, "Mr. Su, you are being polite. I am not qualified to accept this gift for your lord. I will tell your lord later."

Su Ye smiled, and invited people to the house, "Brother Yan has worked hard all the way, please come in and have a cup of hot tea, and you can leave after lunch."

Yan Xiaolu waved his hands and said briskly: "My lord has a lot of things to do over there, I have to go back quickly."

He moved Mu Feng out, so Su Ye couldn't persuade him anymore.

Yu Feng took out the yuba and soybean oil from the kitchen, added another [-]% to Jia and Bian's, and handed it to Yan Xiaolu.

Yan Xiaolu didn't shirk at all, but instead bent his eyes with a happy face, "The last time I met Master Jia, he even showed me how delicious this soybean oil was, and even my adults were so curious, it's all right now, go back to me I can also show off to others!"

Yan Xiaolu had no intention of speaking, but Su Ye felt very ashamed.

Logically, he should be rushing to give it to others, but now it's the other way around.

If those people who were eager to cling to Mu Feng but were turned away found out, they would probably have their heart broken.

"By the way," Yan Xiaolu dug and dug in his arms, and took out a small box the size of a palm, "My adults said it was for Brother Qingzhu, and asked Mr. Su to convey it on his behalf."

Su Ye raised her eyebrows, but didn't take it immediately.

A man gave something to Xiao Shuang'er, which is a bit unusual no matter how you look at it.

Yan Xiaolu seemed to have expected such a reaction long ago, so he imitated what Mu Fengjiao said, and said, "It's not a valuable thing, I hope Mr. Su doesn't mind - last time I happened to know that Brother Qingzhu loves horses, my family The adults happen to have such a small gadget, and it will be dusty at home, so it is better to give it to the little brother to play with.

"My lord said that it might be inappropriate for him to give it to him, so he specifically asked me to hand it over to Mr. Su. Mr. Su is the elder brother of Qingzhu, and it seems appropriate for the elder brother to give his friend's things to the younger brother."

Su Ye snorted—should he praise "The county magistrate is really thoughtful"?

However, the conversation has come to this point, if you don't answer it, you don't know what to do.

Therefore, Su Ye had no choice but to accept it respectfully, and also to thank him sincerely.

Yan Xiaolu finished his errand, got a gift in return, and left happily.

Su Ye looked at the exquisite wooden box in his hand, and couldn't help asking: "Tell me, has the magistrate taken a fancy to Qingzhu?"

When Yu Feng heard this, he burst out laughing, "Looking at him? Xiao Yezi, if I didn't tell you, would you be able to tell that the boy is a double?"

Su Ye blinked - as if... couldn't.

Yu Feng continued to laugh, "If you want me to say, the county magistrate at most thinks he is straightforward and amusing, and he doesn't necessarily know that he is Shuang'er."

As soon as he finished speaking, a lump of dirt hit his head.

Su Qingzhu jumped out from the back of the stable, and shouted with his arms crossed: "Are you talking bad about me? I heard it all!"

Seeing his carefree appearance, Su Ye inexplicably agreed with Yu Feng's words.

"The county magistrate gave it to you." He handed the box in Su Qingzhu's hand, and at the same time observed Su Qingzhu's reaction without any trace.

"Well, magistrate? Why did he give me something?"

Su Qingzhu fumbled to open the lid of the box, revealing the obviously old bronze pony inside, and then let out an "oh" indifferently.

Su Ye was completely relieved.

Speaking of which, Mu Feng's olive branch helped Su Ye solve a problem - he was worried that he didn't know how to promote the oil press, so the county magistrate took the initiative to deliver it to his door.

Su Ye drew the pattern on the cloth and made another finished product, and asked Yu Feng to send it to Mu Feng.

Su Ye didn't need to say much, Mu Feng knew the value of such a portable oil press.

He didn't expect that Su Ye would take the initiative to ask to promote it.

You know, with Huo Da's backing, if Su Ye wanted to make a profit, even if someone could copy it, he would not dare to sell it publicly.

From then on, Mu Feng took a higher look at Su Ye's heart and virtue.

-

There was another person who gave Su Ye the most headache——Huo Da.

Huo Da sent several boxes of cloth, rice noodles, medicinal materials, etc. early in the morning, which were very practical.

Personally, Su Ye didn't want to provoke him. However, the marriage contract between the two is still there after all, and it is impossible to bypass it.

What's more, there is also Yu Feng's friendship.

But what should I give?

Yuba and soybean oil?

This thing is okay with friends, but if it is sent to the capital, it will undoubtedly be too light. After all, behind Huo Da is the entire Huo family, how many pairs of eyes are watching!

When Su Ye was struggling with this matter, he was standing by the stable and watching Yu Feng dispose of the horse manure - since the horses and cows came, Yu Feng has been doing this work.

Su Ye felt somewhat guilty.

However, Yu Feng didn't mind at all, as if the job should belong to him.

For example, now, Su Ye's company is enough to make him happy.

Yu Feng happily found a topic, "Has Dahei been running a little too much lately? A piece of his right hind hoof has been worn down."

Su Ye was taken aback, "What?"

"Come here, little page, you can see clearly here." Yu Feng said in a natural tone.

Su Ye really walked there.

Yu Feng grinned quietly, then quickly returned to a serious expression, pointed at the horse's hoof with the dung shovel, "Look here, is there a piece missing?"

Su Ye looked carefully, but couldn't see where there was a missing piece.

"Come a little further, here."

Su Ye didn't realize the man's "conspiracy" at all, and obediently leaned over.

He didn't feel something was wrong until he almost got into Yu Feng's arms.

At this moment, Yu Feng suddenly realized: "Oh~~ It turned out to be a piece of dust, I thought the horse's hoof was missing a piece!"

Oh your head ah oh!

Su Ye punched him in the face—don't hug Lao Tzu's waist if you have the guts!

Although he was beaten, Yu Da has a dark belly and still has a smile on his face.

Although the horseshoe story was made up by Yu Feng, it happened to remind Su Ye.

He remembered a particularly suitable object—a horseshoe.

In the era of cold weapons, the power of cavalry is beyond doubt.

Horseshoes can not only delay the wear of the horseshoe, but also help the horseshoe to grip the ground, ensuring the safety of the rider to the greatest extent.

From Su Yelan's memory, Su Ye learned that no one had invented the horseshoe in this era. If this object was given to Huo Da as a gift in the past, not only would his family not despise him, but it would also really help him.

Thinking of this, Su Ye drew the pattern on the cloth, showed it to Yu Feng, and explained it a little.

"Tell me, if you give this thing to Huo Da, will it be worth the annual gift?"

Yu Feng used to be a soldier, and he was the type who made many military exploits and was once close to the core of power. He saw the value of horseshoes at a glance, and then couldn't help but marvel at Su Ye's creativity.

"Little page, such a practical thing, how did you come up with it?"

Su Ye sneered, and squinted at him, "Don't you know how I figured it out?"

Thinking of the stable, Yu Feng smiled, hugged him flatteringly, and kissed him, "Xiao Yezi is not angry, I was wrong."

Su Ye: ...

So, am I here to kiss you again? !

Xiaoxuewa was not afraid or surprised when she saw Daddy again and again.

He has discovered more than once that his father will kiss his father when he is asleep!After helping him pee at night, I will kiss him too!

Daddy would obediently be kissed when he was asleep, and he would beat someone when he was awake.

Hmm... Isn't it good to kiss?

However, Daddy would also kiss his little forehead when he woke up and went to bed. When he kissed him, Daddy was obviously very happy and called him a little baby.The little guy thought silently: As long as Daddy is happy, Xuewa is also happy!

The two fathers didn't know the rich inner world of their dolls.

They were still discussing about the horseshoe - the so-called "discussion" was mostly Su Ye's idea and Yu Feng's implementation, and this time was no exception.

They asked a blacksmith to make a pair of horseshoes and corresponding iron nails, and tried various methods to successfully secure Dahei. After that, Yu Feng personally nailed the horseshoes to its four hooves carefully.

After running back and forth for two laps, it was still solid, and Dahei himself seemed to feel quite refreshed, obviously running more happily than usual.

It appears to be a success.

Both of them are very happy—letting Huoda see the effect with his own eyes is much more convincing than a drawing or a sample.

Yu Feng was worried that Su Ye would be alone at home, so he got up before dawn, planning to go back the same day.

It was rare for Su Ye not to stay in bed, so he also got up and sent him to the entrance of the village.

Feeling in the dark, Yu Feng hugged him tightly into his arms, his voice was abnormally hoarse, "Xiao Yezi, if you send it down again, I won't be able to leave."

Su Ye was caught off guard and bumped into the man's hard chest, clearly feeling the obvious protruding curvature of the other's body.

Su Ye: ...(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
