little fool's child bride
Chapter 262
The cellar is prepared for sweet potatoes, and the greenhouse is for Xiao Xiao to experiment with off-season vegetables.Before Jiang Muyu and others were worried about food, Xiao Xiao was happy because he happened to buy a lot of sweet potatoes before he came to Xiangcheng, and now they are neatly stacked in his luggage.But this sweet potato is easy to feed and has a large yield. It is the person who saved half of China back then, and now it will not be a problem to alleviate the food shortage in Xiangcheng.So after discovering that someone was selling sweet potatoes in Wangchengdong City, even though each one cost 20 taels, he still bought all the sweet potatoes and planned to breed them.
It's just that sweet potatoes are usually sown in spring and autumn, so these sweet potatoes have to be saved until after winter has passed.The sweet potatoes that Xiao Xiao brought had to be stored in the cellar for the winter, otherwise the hundreds of taels of silver would be wasted, so as soon as he arrived in Xiangcheng, he asked Jiang Muyu to dig a cellar and collect pine leaves for him.
Xiangcheng can be regarded as the southwest area of Baiyu, but there are no cellars in the north that every family has, so Jiang Muyu found more than 20 people and spent five days to find one.Although they didn't know what this sweet potato was, the whole army knew that it was something Mr. Xiao wanted to plant, so they were all looking forward to it.
"That's all right?" Jiang Muyu took Xiao Xiao to the cellar as if asking for credit, and asked him to check if there was anything wrong, "It would be great if I could get cement, and paste the four walls and the ground. It also prevents rats from infesting."
Xiao Xiao's storage methods are based on a few words mentioned by her friends back then, so I really don't know if this is possible.But what else?If you don't try, there is no hope at all, so he pretended to patrol around, and then nodded to indicate that it was all right.Confused by the kid who wanted to continue following her, Xiao Xiao asked him to take part in the training, then turned around and followed Master Jiang to the market.
The border market was still as lively as ever, as if it hadn't been affected by this year's war at all.It's just that there are a lot fewer vendors in Xiangcheng, and occasionally a few of them stared at the people passing by in the market with resentful and desolate eyes.There are not many white jade men in fancy clothes like Xiao Xiao, so when he appeared, he attracted the attention of all parties, and there was passion and greed hidden in him.
"My lord came to see our sheep, they are very cheap, one only costs such a little money..."
"The beauty gauze from the Western Regions, the master bought a few for his wife..."
"Human-snake show, human-snake show! You can watch one for a tael of silver!"
Xiao Xiao listened to all kinds of people yelling at her own things in blunt white jade, and looked around curiously, expecting to find the same fetish as the sweet potato.It's a pity that there are quite a lot of strange things, even wool felt and highland barley wine are sold, but Xiao Xiao couldn't find any of the things she wanted, so she had to go back to the shepherd who sold sheep.
Affected by this year's war, the price of beef and mutton collected in Xiangcheng has been much lower, worrying those people who herd cattle and sheep for a living.So they were not in a hurry to sell to the government, and rented a booth directly, thinking about selling some first.But Xiao Xiao only wanted wool, so he was not in a hurry to buy it, but wanted to ask if the wool could be sold alone.However, Xiao Xiao turned around and found that these sheep had been cut into "board inches" one by one, and they were all huddled together to keep warm.Only then did Xiao Xiao think of those wool felts, and regretted his "smartness" back then.
"I knew I wouldn't have mentioned any wool felt back then!" Xiao Xiao said regretfully to Master Jiang, "This is great, I have cut off my fortune!"
Master Jiang could only comfort him, saying that there must be places where wool can be bought.But the two went around the whole market, and they could only say that the wool felt that Xiao Xiao mentioned at the beginning was so popular that they couldn't find any unshorn sheep at all.But when Xiao Xiao was feeling down, an old friend came to her door and said that she could help.
At that time Xiao Xiao was about to go back home, but was stopped by a black and thin man, saying that the leader of their tribe had something to talk to Mr. Xiao about.Xiao Xiao has only been here for a few days, and there are not many people in Xiangcheng who know him, so he naturally has some curiosity in his heart, wanting to know who is looking for him.Anyway, Wu Lin was still with him, so he was not afraid, and readily agreed to follow the man.A few people walked to a remote stall, and a familiar face emerged from the tent, which surprised Xiao Xiao at the same time.
"When I heard from the tribe that I saw you, I thought they had misidentified you, but I didn't expect that it was really you." Mang Lie smiled and gave Xiao Xiao a warm hug, "Why did you come to Xiangcheng? Didn't you come to Xiangcheng?" Wang Cheng is an official?"
Xiao Xiao was also happy to see his old friend suddenly, and briefly talked about his resignation, and then talked about the business he planned to do in Xiangcheng.
"I want to get some wool, but the market is full of hairless ones," Xiao Xiao said helplessly, "Brother Manglie, can you get me some wool? It's best to send it a year ago, if not , then after the spring of next year.”
"The wool is sheared in spring, March, April and autumn. It's really hard to get what you want now." Manglie explained the combing and shearing of the wool to Xiao Xiao, "and now they are sold to the big tribes to make wool felt. I'm afraid you won't be able to receive it before the Chinese New Year this year. But if you want it again next year, I can keep all the ones in the tribe and send them to Xiangcheng at that time. It happens that there is a lot of wool and fluff in this spring, and it is relatively clean. What do you do? The sweater should be fine."
Manglie is now leading the entire tribe to brew highland barley wine, and has made a fortune.It's just that they are nomads, so they can't let go of their cattle and sheep, and they still raise some, for fear of encountering some natural or man-made disasters and making them unable to eat.He was grateful for Xiao Xiao's suggestion back then, so he strongly demanded that the wool be donated to Xiao Xiao, and he would not accept a penny.
"How much is this wool worth!" Mang Lie angrily stuffed the deposit that Xiao Xiao handed over back into his lapel, "I will send this wool over next year, and you can use it to make sweaters!"
Mang Lie's hands were so strong that in the end Xiao Xiao could only obediently put away the money and wait for the wool to arrive before discussing the reward.Chatting with Manglie about the current situation of the tribe, he couldn't help feeling proud when he saw how many people came to buy highland barley wine with a blushing face.It happened that it was getting late, so Manglie simply asked Xiao Xiao to have dinner with them, and opened several jars of highland barley wine for Xiao Xiao and others to taste.
"This wine is sweet and delicious, and now it's a treasure in our grassland!" Manglie couldn't help but praised Xiao Xiao's outstanding ideas, "Who would have thought that barley can also make wine? Mr. Xiao is the best!"
Xiao Xiao waved her hands again and again, embarrassed to say that she just read a lot of books, so she learned the brewing method of highland barley wine from the books.Then he picked up a glass of highland barley wine curiously, smelled it first, and then took a sip.
Xiao Xiao doesn't like to drink, but she has also drank a lot of wine, especially all kinds of strong sauces from the mainland.This highland barley wine tastes really different from the mainland liquor, it tastes a bit sour and sweet, and it also has the fragrance of grass, which makes Xiao Xiao feel very strange.There is no bitterness, the aftertaste is very strong, the aroma seems to stay in the throat for a long time, and then the whole body feels warm.Xiao Xiao couldn't help drinking two or three more glasses, but it was the first time that she fell in love with drinking.
"There are a lot of medicinal materials added to this wine, and it won't hurt you if you drink too much." Manglie looked at Xiao Xiao's obsessed look with a smile, and he must be very satisfied with Xiao Xiao's, "And the highland barley wine is not intoxicating. Even if you're drunk, you won't have a headache tomorrow!"
How else can this highland barley wine be called "Pearl of the Plateau" in modern times?Low alcohol content and mellow aroma, it can be said to be a drink loved by men, women and children.In modern times, highland barley wine is a must-have item for weddings and funerals in Tibetan areas; now in this ancient time, highland barley wine has faintly become a fine wine that everyone in the grassland area loves.So Mang Lie used his brains, and in just one year, even the highland barley medicinal wine was made, and it became a treasure handed over to the leaders of the big tribe, which won a lot of benefits for his tribe.
It was not easy to meet Xiao Xiao, so Manglie took out this precious highland barley medicinal wine.Seeing that Xiao Xiao liked him, he was also happy. After the banquet was over, he even asked someone to make several pots for Xiao Xiao, and said that he would send some to him every year in the future.At that time, Xiao Xiao was drunk and didn't hear it, but Mr. Jiang, who had eaten a lot of wine tables, heard it clearly, and thanked Xiao Xiao with a smile.A few people went to the mansion of the general soldier. Mr. Jiang was still wondering if the general mansion was closed so late, but before he reached the gate, he saw Jiang Muyu standing upright.
Jiang Muyu moved as soon as he saw them, stepped forward to take Xiao Xiao who was being supported by Master Jiang, and then hugged him horizontally.Xiao Xiao ignorantly hummed a few times, making Jiang Muyu more cautious, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable.Although Master Jiang knew that the two were husbands and heard people praise the love between the two, he was still a little uncomfortable seeing it with his own eyes.Averting his eyes in embarrassment, Master Jiang explained how Xiao Xiao got drunk and then fled away, leaving the two of them hurried into the house.
"I will try my best." Jiang Muyu looked at her brother's "fleeing" figure and was silent for a moment, thinking that most people in this world don't think highly of the relationship between the two of them, and she felt a little lost.Xiao Xiao is a stranger, and few people in the world would dare to disrespect him, but what about himself?If he failed to achieve anything, if he was still that stupid Jiang Muyu, maybe even his elder brother would think that he was not good enough for Xiao Xiao.
"I will try my best to match you and protect you so that no one can judge us..."
Jiang Muyu muttered to herself, then narrowed her eyes, and carried Xiao Xiao to her room.Isn't it normal to take care of Xiao Xiao when she's drunk?Jiang Muyu thought confidently, and then began to pick up Xiao Xiao's clothes, pretending to be serious while thinking about it.When Xiao Xiao was so cold that she shrank into the quilt, he picked up Xiao Xiao and walked towards the tub filled with water as if he had just realized it.
It's just that sweet potatoes are usually sown in spring and autumn, so these sweet potatoes have to be saved until after winter has passed.The sweet potatoes that Xiao Xiao brought had to be stored in the cellar for the winter, otherwise the hundreds of taels of silver would be wasted, so as soon as he arrived in Xiangcheng, he asked Jiang Muyu to dig a cellar and collect pine leaves for him.
