The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Shang Xi said: "Uncle, it seems that the reason why everyone moved far away is not because of poverty, right?"

Wan Lianxing said, "You want to be beaten too, don't you?"

Shang Xi scratched her hair and said, "I'll study how to make this glass. I can't say whether it will work or not. Don't hold your hopes too high."

Boss Qian said, "Since the glass can't be made, you should make the colored glaze first and show it to the Marquis."

Shang Xi nodded and said, "Colored glaze is simple." She had learned how to make porcelain from Mo Haiyao, so colored glaze was not difficult.

Shang Xi said: "In fact, the most common use of this quartz is paving roads and building houses."

Boss Qian said, "Wouldn't it be a waste of such a good thing as quartz?"

Shang Xi said: "Brother-in-law, when will you return to South City?"

Boss Qian said: "There is nothing to do at home, so what can I do when I go back? When I have nothing to do here, I can chat with my uncle to relieve his boredom."

Wan Lianxing laughed: "I really wronged you for Liuli."

At this time, Wan Lianxing looked out the window and said, "Why does it feel different here from Chaizhou?"

Boss Qian said: "It's still the same beautiful scenery."

After saying this, Boss Qian looked outside and saw that the water in the small pond was almost gone and the silt at the bottom of the pond had dried into hard soil. If it weren't for that little bit of water, this would have been a big pit.

Wan Lianxing said to the people outside, "Hurry up."

The carriage slowed down a bit.

He saw a few people carrying buckets to draw water from the pond. Wan Lianxing said, "What use is this water?" He could smell the stench of the water from half a mile away.

The child who had been sitting next to Wan Lianxing and had been silent the whole time said, "Water the ground."

"what?"

The child said, "Irrigate the fields and water the earth."

Wan Lianxing asked, "So, is all the water in this pond used for watering the land?"

The child nodded and said, "If the sun shines like this every day, there will be less water."

Wan Lianxing asked, "Does your land also rely on irrigation this way?"

The child nodded and said, "There is a river near our home. As long as we have the strength, we will go to fetch water to irrigate the fields. My parents go to irrigate the fields before dawn every day, so that the crops grow well."

Wan Lianxing said: "You are really hardworking... Let's go, hurry up."

The carriage galloped again, without stopping once on the way, and reached the city in one breath.

Seeing the hundred-foot-high city gate, Suiying's big face appeared outside the window with a smile, "My Lord, we will be able to reach the governor's mansion soon."

Wan Lianxing glanced out the window and said, "Now that we're in the city, there's no need to rush. Put me down and I'll take a walk."

Suiying said, "Don't worry, we'll drop you off after you pass the city gate, my lord. You must be starving."

Wan Lianxing said: "Aren't you hungry?"

Suiying said: "Each of us eats two handfuls of roasted barley."

Wan Lianxing rolled his eyes and said, "You don't even know how to give me one."

Suiying said, "Don't you never eat this kind of dry food?"

Wan Lianxing said, "This is a different time, it's better than being hungry." In fact, there was food in the car, but he just didn't eat it.

As they were talking, they entered the city.

Wan Lianxing, whose physical strength had not recovered well, stood with the help of the carriage. At this time, Cheng Feng pushed the wheelchair out for Wan Lianxing.

Wan Lianxing said, "Take it away quickly. I can walk by myself."

Cheng Feng said, "Don't try to show off. You didn't get enough rest yesterday. I'll push you."

Wan Lianxing said, "Why are you showing your filial piety when there are so many people around?"

Cheng Feng said: "I always treat you like this."

Wan Lianxing's legs were shaking, but fortunately they were covered by the hem of his clothes.

In the end, he ended up in a wheelchair.

Wan Lianxing looked at the people coming and going in Fengying City thoughtfully. Boss Qian said, "Uncle, look, there are quite a few people on this street."

Wan Lianxing said, "It's a city after all, so it's normal to have a lot of people, but it still looks different from other places. Look at the women here covering their faces with gauze. Isn't it hot? I haven't heard of this custom in Fengying before."

Wan Lianxing was not the only one who couldn't understand this. Everyone felt strange looking at these people with their heads covered. If the covering methods were the same, it would be understandable. There were all kinds of ways to cover them, the only thing was to not let everyone see their faces. However, some old ladies didn't cover them like this, so it didn't seem like it was a custom no matter how you looked at it.

Wan Lianxing suddenly pointed ahead and said, "What's wrong with that woman?"

He ran over like lightning. The eldest of the Hu family had always been walking beside Wan Lianxing. He got nervous and grabbed Wan Lianxing's arm.

Wan Lianxing said, looking at the child's shivering neck, he frowned and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

The child said: "They are robbers, will they rob us?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Robbery in broad daylight?"

The child said: "These robbers do not know when to come out, they come out whenever they want, especially when adults are dressed like you, they love to rob them the most."

Seeing the frightened look on the child's face, Wan Lianxing said, "Sit in my arms. I will protect you."

The child shook his head and said, "I am a big boy now. I can't be held by anyone anymore."

Wan Lianxing asked, "Are you so scared because you've been robbed before?"

The child nodded and said, "I robbed my father once. He took two copper coins from him, and then he beat him up because he thought it was too little."

Wan Lianxing asked, "Did you get beaten?"

The child said: "He kicked me."

Soon, Suiying came back and said angrily, "It was a robbery, but the money was recovered."

Wan Lianxing slapped the armrest and said, "That's too crazy." The child who was holding his arm was frightened and shivered.

Wan Lianxing glanced at the child and said, "You need to practice your courage. You can't be afraid of everything."

The child shrank back and said, "I'm not afraid."

Wan Lianxing said, "What delicious food are they selling? Go buy some."

Shang Xi had already gone over there. Looking at the two pots of delicious food, Shang Xi's mouth was watering. He turned around and asked everyone, "There are smoked fish, smoked sausages and smoked duck liver. Who wants to eat it?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Why are these all offal? Isn't there any smoked duck meat?"

Shang Xi said: "No, uncle, the smoked duck liver is very good, and the smoked sausage is also good."

Wan Lianxing said, "Buy some and try them."

The child's eyes lit up when he ate smoked duck liver for the first time. Wan Lianxing asked, "Is it delicious?"

The child nodded and gave the highest affirmation: "This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten."

Wan Lianxing reached out and flicked the child's forehead, then said with a smile, "This is just the beginning."

"Uncle, do you want to eat tea eggs?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Buy a few and try them."

Shang Xi asked, "Who's going to eat them?"

Many people said they wanted to eat, Shang Xi couldn't count them at this time, she thought for a while and said: "Who doesn't want to eat?"

No one responded, Shang Xi said, "Boss, thirty-six tea eggs."

"Okay, okay, where are you guys from?"
