Defeat natural disasters with farming

The man named Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, staring closely at the person who called his name, and it took him a while to barely recognize who that person was.

"Uncle Xie?" There was unconfidence in his voice, as if he didn't believe such a coincidence.

The man responded affirmatively, "Hey, I haven't seen you for many years. You have grown into an adult, but you are eight times like your father."

Ye Yu has been scrutinizing that person since he called out. This person is the one he looks very familiar with. It wasn't until he finished speaking that Ye Yu thought of his relationship with Brother Chen Fan. Ye Yu wanted to control Chen Fan When his father, Chen Yuan, called Uncle Chen, there were not many people that both of them could know, so he quickly locked on the qualified people.

Xie Xian once sold a shop to his family. Although the shop has disappeared into the ruins, it is undeniable that it brought them a lot of money back then.

Ye Yu wanted to call him Uncle Xie. When he caught the kidnapper, he found his son and followed his son's adoptive parents to other counties.

It seems to be Huaiyang County. Ye Yu still remembers that he wanted his son to study in Huaiyang Academy, but in the current situation, it is not known whether Huaiyang Academy still exists.

While Ye Yu was still thinking, Chen Fan who was talking to Xie Xian suddenly pointed at him, and then Ye Yu saw Xie Xian's eyes light up.

"Brother Bao?" Xie Xian looked at Ye Yu happily, and when he nodded, he said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to be so old, I didn't recognize you, I just think it looks familiar."

Ye Yu glanced at Chu Xufeng, nodded to him, then walked over, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Uncle Xie, by the way, you did go to Huaiyang County back then, and I didn't realize that my father and Uncle Chen always It’s about your family, I don’t know how your situation is.”

Xie Xian looked more and more emotional, "It's not good to say it's good, it's not good to say it's bad, but it's actually pretty good."

After a brief chat, Ye Yu saw that they were blocking the way for others to enter the inn, so she called the waiter and asked him if breakfast was ready?

When he got a positive answer, he said to Xie Xian: "If you have nothing to do now, why don't we chat while eating?"

Xie Xian went to consult the team leader first.

The leader of Huaiyang City was a gentle-looking Confucian scholar, wearing a black Confucian scarf and long beard, about 40 years old. After learning about Xie Xian's intentions, he quickly agreed to let him go.

"Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is a great blessing in life. Go quickly."

Therefore, when eating breakfast, there were only Ye Yu, Chu Xufeng and Chen Fan at the table.

After chatting a few words about the past, they chatted about the current situation.

First, Ye Yu told him the news of the completion of Hope City, and then Xie Xian said with emotion: "I really didn't expect Heihe County to disappear like this."

Ye Yu picked up a fried dough stick and soaked it in the porridge bowl. He has a quirk when eating fried dough sticks. He likes to soak them until they are soft. For example, when eating spicy fried dough sticks, he would choose to soak the fried dough sticks in the soup. Now there is only one bowl of porridge, so he can only soak it in the porridge. It may be a little strange, but he likes to eat softer ones. As for the porridge, the fried dough sticks will become a little thinner after soaking, but Ye Yu doesn't care too much. , mixed with sauce can be eaten directly.

He ate something to fill his stomach first, and then replied: "It is true."

Xie Xian didn't forget to eat when he was talking, and he said after a while: "Huaiyang County is similar, and the rest of the people are living a good life under the leadership of the dean of Huaiyang Academy."

Ye Yu was a little curious when he heard this, "I see that your team leader looks like a scholar."

"Yes." Xie Xian said straightforwardly: "He is Brother Ning's teacher. He is straightforward, upright, and very knowledgeable. He has always been known as a famous teacher."

Ye Yu secretly thought, it seems that the Lord of Huaiyang City is the original dean of Huaiyang Academy, and he is a great Confucian of the generation.

Because he hadn't seen Xie Ning, Ye Yu asked him again, "Has Brother Xie come over?"

Xie Xian shook his head, "His wife is just pregnant, and I didn't ask him to follow her, so it's better to just stay at home."

"This is good news." Ye Yu congratulated him, "It seems that you are going to be a grandfather."

Xie Xian happily accepted the congratulations, "That's right, since Brother Ning's grandfather and mother passed away, the family is finally going to be lively."

Ye Yu learned from him that after their family came to Huaiyang County with Master Zhou, they were living under the fence for the first time, because they lived in the Zhuangzi of Zhou's family, until Xie Xian met Huaiyang Academy. A master, through his introduction, found a writing job in the academy, and began to pay the rent to the Zhou family, and then gradually straightened his back.

But soon there was news that I don't know whether it is good or bad. Xie Ning's adoptive mother, Mrs. Zhou, was diagnosed by a doctor and gave birth to a daughter safely. However, the couple did not ignore Xie Ning, but treated him She loved him even more and asked him to change his original name back, and then the two children grew up like childhood sweethearts, so they got married naturally.

In addition, their parents are familiar with each other, and there are no conflicts in the family, so the two are quite affectionate and rarely quarrel.

Of course, these are all summed up by Ye Yu himself, and he doesn't know what it is.

After breakfast, Ye Yu was about to bid him farewell, "Uncle Xie, let's meet again in Wangsi City."

Xie Xian responded, "Okay, see you then, we have to rest here for a day."

After they bid farewell to each other, Ye Yu gathered in the yard, and the group was ready to leave.

This road is relatively easy to walk, because Wangsi City sent people to build four roads leading to the main city on the only roads that the four subsidiary cities must pass. The land is still relatively flat, and it is easy for people and livestock to walk on it, especially Finally, they don’t have to push the four-wheeled cart. When they are in the woods, they will encounter tangled tree roots. The cart is not easy to walk. They have to change routes or get off the cart to dig out the roots.

Speaking of tears, the journey they came to look at Sicheng can be regarded as a history of blood and tears, and it was an incense burner to arrive on time.

But it’s not enough without a cart, because the cart is loaded with luggage and many goods, including wool products, tanned furs, some grains, and an appropriate amount of salt and sugar. Among other things, Ye Yu believes in their salt and sugar. Definitely exclusive and should be able to trade for what is needed at the trade fair.

And the closer he was to Wangsi City, the more excited Wu Zichu was, and at the same time he talked more.

"Look at our city gate, that's where the imperial palace used to be, and there's a moat beside it."

He looked very proud. Ye Yu could understand the reason for his pride after seeing the majestic city wall. It is really majestic. The whole wall is vermilion in color, and the city gate is also very majestic, which makes people take a look. I was shocked.

There is also a moat surrounding the entire city. As they approached now, they could see women washing clothes by the river, strong men carrying water, and tea stalls selling tea.

There was a crowd of people, and Ye Yu suddenly felt that he saw the town before the natural disaster.

As they were invited, they naturally didn't have to queue up like the others. They were allowed in after Wu Zichu showed the token to the soldiers guarding the gate.

The place to live has also been determined long ago. It is a few large houses in the north of the city. One can accommodate at least fifty people. They live in the second room from left to right, because they are the second to come here. Accommodations assigned sequentially.

After Wu Zichu brought them to their destination, he couldn't wait to go home, because there was a butler in the house to help them.

The housekeeper is a middle-aged man in his thirties, but Ye Yu always finds him a bit strange, his voice is soft, his skin is fair, and men of this age usually have a beard, but he doesn't, and his chin is smooth.

According to his own introduction, his name is Mingxin, but he has no surname.

"You all come from a long distance, you are naturally exhausted, you can rest here for a night, and then go to see the city lord tomorrow."

When he said that, Ye Yu and the others naturally had no objection, so they quickly began to allocate rooms. After discussion, they decided to live in one room for two people.

Ye Yu and Chu Xufeng moved the luggage into the house together. After moving, Ye Yu took a breath and said, "I don't know what kind of person the Lord of Wangsi City is?"

Chu Xufeng was very calm, he said casually: "It doesn't matter what his personality is."

Ye Yu followed his train of thought and thought for a while, yes, they will not live in Wangsi City in the future, it doesn't matter how poor the city owner is, after all, they will only be in contact for a while.

The two of them rested in the room for a while, and then went out after recovering from fatigue. They happened to see Uncle Ye Zhong feeding the donkeys and horses to eat bean cakes, so Ye Yu went to help him. , all of them lost a lot of weight."

He was obviously distressed.

Ye Yu said: "Actually, it's okay, just take care of it."

After a while, Ye Yu discussed with Shen Fu and decided that he would take Ye Minghui and Shen Qingyu to the next door.

The people living next door were those from Hunnan City. There were quite a few people, about a hundred people. They came early, three days ago. After coming, they met the Lord of Wangsi City. some information.

As for the others, they stayed to pack their things, or boil water for cooking.

The housekeeper said that all kinds of ingredients were placed in the kitchen, and they could be used by themselves. Ye Yu went in and saw that there were indeed a wide variety of vegetables.

As for the meat, it depends on what is available. They came by coincidence. Today, the pig butcher just slaughtered a flock of sheep. There were thirty sheep in total, so he divided half of them among them.

Fifteen sheep roasted into whole sheep are enough for them to eat, plus some chicken, duck and pork, there must be no shortage in quantity.

They managed to set up fifteen grills in the yard, and the marinated whole lamb was fixed on them. As the heat evaporated, the aroma of the secret seasoning gradually spread out.

However, roasting the whole lamb was the next priority. Ye Yu's focus at this time was on Uncle Shen and the others who came back from the next door.

Uncle Shen, who had a formal conversation with him, did not get much information. Most of them were compliments. For example, the lord of Wangsi City is a handsome man, with a gentle manner. Such unnutritive news is Ye Minghui who is asking others in the corner. Heard a lot of untrue news.

Generally speaking, there are two points. One is that the city lord is suspected to be a descendant of the royal family. I feel Mingxin is a bit strange.

The second is that the city lord loves male sex, and he seems to be a broken sleeve. There is also evidence to prove this. It is said that there are many beautiful men in the city lord's mansion. If you want to ask the city master to do something, you can offer your beauty to him.

I don't know if these news are true or not, but Ye Yu regards them as false, which is equivalent to listening to gossip. As for the truth, they will not find out until they meet the city lord in person tomorrow.
