Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space

Qiao Ran invited the general and his wife to sit and warm themselves by the fire. Mrs. Qiao sat beside her with her little grandson in her arms.

The general's wife likes children, and she was very fond of such a fat boy with fair skin and chubby flesh.

She grabbed Xiaoba's fat hand with envy, then took out the meeting gift specially prepared for Xiaoba - a very delicate gold collar, and put it on Xiaoba's neck with her own hands.

Xiaoba stretched out his chubby hands to play with the gold collar.

But the general's wife was afraid that he would hurt herself, so she held his two little hands and played with him.

There was no complete tea set for entertaining guests at home. Fortunately, Qiao Ran took out a bag of homemade Longjing tea from the space and brewed it in a small bowl. The tea was fragrant.

In fact, there are several tea sets in the space, which were all bought by grandpa before his death, or Qiao Ran bought them as gifts for grandpa.

But the craftsmanship of those tea sets was too exquisite, and it should be beyond the reach of this era. Qiao Ran didn't want to show them to make people suspicious.

How could a refugee who had just fled here have such exquisite tea sets?

So, let’s talk about it later when we’ve settled down!

General Zheng was a military man who acted boldly and informally. The general's wife also lived with her husband in the border for several years, and she was not as strict about rules as the wealthy families in the capital.

I didn't mind seeing Qiao Ran making tea from the bowl she was eating from.

He stretched out his hand to take the tea bowl and put it far in front of his nose, and could smell the refreshing fragrance.

“Good tea!”

General Zheng also likes to drink tea. Just by smelling it, you can tell that this tea is not ordinary.

Put it to your lips and take a sip. It will be tender and fragrant, fresh and sweet, leaving a fragrance on your teeth and cheeks.

“It’s really good tea!”

General Zheng sighed in admiration, and the general’s wife also nodded and praised:

"This tea is really good! Miss Qiao, my husband likes to drink tea to refresh himself when he is dealing with military affairs, so he always likes to collect delicious tea leaves. Where did you buy this tea leaves? Can you tell me, I will buy some too Some."

Qiao Ran said apologetically: "This tea was given to me by someone I saved on the way. I don't know where she bought it from. But I still have two bags here. Since the general and his wife like it, they bought them Give them all to you!”

"Ah, no, no, no! Since it was given to you by someone else, we can't take advantage of it."

The general's wife quickly waved her hand and refused, still a little embarrassed: "I was the one who was abrupt."

Qiao Ran smiled nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, she is in Luoyang City. When things stabilize here, I will take the time to go to Luoyang, ask her, and buy some more!"

The general's wife said: "Ms. Qiao may not know that such good tea should cost a lot of money. We can't take it from you for free. In that case, let's buy it again after Miss Qiao asks about the source!"

Qiao Ran thought to herself, this tea is not available in this world. Where can I buy it?

She insisted on sending two packages to the general's wife.

I never expected that I would unintentionally find another way to get rich selling tea!

The general's wife couldn't resist Qiao Ran's enthusiasm and gratefully accepted the two bags of tea.

At this time, the general who was waiting for them to finish their greetings asked eagerly: "Miss Qiao, I heard that you led everyone to build these tents? May I ask who taught them?"

Qiao Ran didn't expect that he would be interested in the tent. Thinking of the way she saw the general studying seriously outside the tent just now, she smiled and answered frankly:

"That's right. I modified these tents based on the soup kitchen shacks built by the government. The soup kitchen shacks were open, but the tents we wanted were used to keep out the cold, so I decided to use thick linoleum cloth, and It is spread all the way to the ground and covered tightly, leaving only one or two windows and a door for ventilation, so that burning charcoal inside will keep you warm without suffocating, and the linoleum can also prevent wind, rain and snow.”

When General Zheng heard that she had come up with it herself, her eyes shone with admiration.

"I really didn't expect that Miss Qiao would be so kind and charming. I took a look at this tent. It's as strong as a military tent. There are even many things I can learn from. Miss Qiao doesn't mind if I apply these to the military. Go to the tent?"

Hearing this, Qiao Ran shook her head and smiled: "Of course I don't mind. If it can be helpful to the soldiers, I will be proud of it!"

"Then, on behalf of all the soldiers, I would like to thank Miss Qiao for her righteousness!"

General Zheng said, stood up and thanked Qiao Ran.

Although there is no concept of intellectual property rights in this era, it is unkind to take new gadgets developed by others without asking.

That's why General Zheng asked Qiao Ran for permission so solemnly.

The acknowledgment from the dignified general is of great significance.

Qiao Ran quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "General, your words are serious."

General Zheng said seriously: "Actually, in addition to bringing Lan'er to solemnly thank Miss Qiao for saving my life, I came here with other purposes."

Qiao Ran looked at him, waiting for the next step.

General Zheng was a little embarrassed to say it. He always felt that in the name of thanking someone, he came to ask for something, which was very unkind.

Qiao Ran saw the embarrassment on his face and smiled: "General, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. The general just asked about the tent. I guess there are other things, also related to the military camp, right? If there is anything I can do to help, It’s my duty to take the place.”

The general's wife gently pushed General Zheng's arm: "Husband, Miss Qiao is a cheerful person, not an ordinary woman. If you have anything to say, please just say it!"

The general also felt that he was being too coy, so he cleared his throat and simply said it all.

"Miss Qiao, I heard from the housekeeper that you have a kind of pot here. You don't have to dig a hole to build a stove. You can directly use charcoal to cook vegetables. It is very convenient. And I heard that you have a kind of smokeless charcoal here. Well, I have seen it now. arrive."

"I was wondering if I could ask the girl to take a look at the pot. I'll go back and ask someone to make a batch of them. In the future, during emergency marches or in the scout camp, this convenient and practical pot can be used to replace the pots that need to be burned to produce smoke. Big iron pot.”

"And your kind of charcoal is less smokey than the gold charcoal and silver charcoal used by the nobles in the capital. I heard it is also very durable. I wonder if you can point out the source? Our military camp needs to purchase a large amount to match your charcoal. The pot is both convenient and does not expose the team’s whereabouts, which greatly enhances convenience and safety.”

Qiao Ran smiled even brighter when she heard that the general wanted his own hot pot shape and smokeless charcoal.

"To be honest, General, this kind of pot is also made by me, and the charcoal is also made by me to teach the villagers. If you want the drawing of the pot, I can provide it to you. If you want charcoal, you can Buy it directly from us. We happened to cut down a batch of trees, and after a while they will be dried and we can make charcoal."

At this moment, General Zheng was so shocked that he stood up from the wooden stool and looked at the little girl in front of him in surprise, who looked to be less than fifteen years old.

"These are all made by you? You..."

He was speechless for a moment.

This is really unbelievable. How could such a young girl figure out so many practical and good things so easily?

How did this brain grow?
