Joe's Farming

"Boss, two rooms upstairs."

The man in the black cloak, holding his beautiful wife in his arms, said to the innkeeper.

When the boss saw their clothes, he smiled and said, "You gentlemen are from the north, right?"

Qiao Yu wiped the sweat off his head and said, "Yes, we are from Qingzhou. I didn't expect it to be so hot in Nanzhou. Bring us some hot water later."

Chen Han said in a low voice behind him: "Boss, Tiezhu and I can just sleep in the woodshed."

Qiao Yu glared at him and said, "How can you protect us if you don't sleep next to us?"

Chen Han stopped talking.

After he and Tiezhu were bought by Qiao Yu, they have been working diligently as bodyguards.

One of the two was a former gambling thug, and the other had been very strong since childhood and had trained very hard in the guard team. Now his skills are much better than before.

So this time, Qiao Yu and Gu Feng brought the two of them with them.

They sailed south and finally arrived at the capital of Nanzhou after two days.

It was as cold as winter last night, but as soon as we entered Nanyang, the capital of Nanzhou Prefecture, this morning it felt like spring.

"Four guests, follow me."

The waiter took the key and led the way.

The clothes the waiter wore were of a special style, shorter than a robe but longer than a shirt.

Paired with loose trousers, the texture looks like linen and looks particularly breathable. Qiao Yu guessed that it must be very cool to wear.

The color is very bright, like it's tie-dyed. He wondered if there was a plainer one. He wanted to buy one for Gu Feng as well.

"Hey, bro, are the clothes you're wearing local? They look so cool. I want to buy one, too."

The waiter smiled and said, "Yes, this is our Nanyang specialty, and the locals love to wear it.

If customers like, they can go to Xianghe Fabric Shop to buy it. It is the best fabric shop in our city and has many colors and styles.

It’s just that the price is a little bit higher…but I’m sure you won’t mind that.”

Qiao Yu thanked the waiter and started taking off her clothes as soon as she entered the house.

"I knew it might be hotter here, but I didn't expect it to be this warm."

Qiao Yu took off his shirt and began to rummage through his luggage for thin clothes.

"Qiao Er is smart. She knows to prepare two thin ones. Otherwise, she won't be able to change."

Gu Feng said as he changed his clothes.

As soon as Qiao Yu put on her robe, she was hit hard by Gu Feng's abdominal muscles.

"do not move."

Gu Feng continued to dress: "What's wrong?"

Qiao Yu went straight to the point and touched Gu Feng, causing his face to turn red.

"Qiao'er..."

Could it be that my husband wants to...

Qiao Yu seemed to know what he was thinking: "Touch it, just for a moment, to satisfy your desire."

Gu Feng had no choice but to stand there and let his husband have his fill before changing his clothes.

"Sir, the water you requested."

Qiao Yu hurriedly separated from Gu Feng: "Bring it in."

They washed their faces thoroughly before going out hand in hand.

-

Qiao Yu hadn't had any time alone with Gu Feng for a long time. At first, she was still worried about her family, especially Gu Heng.

Two days passed, and the couple had gotten used to being alone with each other.

This is a brand new experience for Gu Feng.

When he and Qiao Yu first got together, Xiaoxue and Xiaoyan were already there.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that his husband's suggestion to let the children stay at home was very wise.

For example, now they don’t have to worry about others at all. They can go wherever they want and as long as they want.

As soon as Qiao Yu left the inn, he started looking for food and drink.

“There are fresh sugar cane for sale!”

Qiao Yu was excited.

He likes all sweet fruits.

Among them, watermelon in summer and sugarcane in winter have always been his favorites.

Unfortunately, there are no watermelons in Shangtian Village or Qingzhou City.

I didn’t expect there is sugarcane in Nanyang City!

The man selling sugarcane seemed to be a local farmer who had just arrived from the countryside and had just set up his stall.

The sugarcanes were just piled on the ground, not standing up like in the modern world.

If Qiao Yu hadn't had sharp eyes, she probably wouldn't have noticed it.

When Gu Feng saw his husband rushing out, he hurriedly followed him.

Chen Han and Tie Zhu also hurried to follow.

"What did the boss see that made him so excited?"

Tiezhu asked.

"You say sugar cane, do you know what it is?"

"You don't know, how should I know?"

Qiao Yu pointed at a bundle of sugar cane on the ground and asked, "Two small bosses, how much do you sell the sugar cane for?"

There were two kids in their teens squatting next to the sugarcane. When they saw someone coming to buy some, they called them "little boss", a friendly little brother.

They stood up happily, and the older one immediately replied, "Twenty cents a stick."

Qiao Yu was ecstatic. This was cheaper than he thought.

You can buy a big bundle then.

No, no, no, be bold and buy a boatload of them.

"Two first, can you help me peel them?"

Qiao Yu asked habitually.

Nowadays, it is not only peeled, but also cut into small pieces for you, making it easier to eat.

"Ah?" The two children were confused.

Qiao Yu realized that he was asking for too much.

He hurriedly said, "Nothing, can you help me cut it into two sections?"

"Oh, sure, sure." the older one replied.

The younger one asked, "Which two do you want, sir?"

Qiao Yu smiled and asked Gu Feng to choose.

No matter what he does, his way of being a husband is to make Gu Feng feel involved.

Gu Feng was very pleased and felt that he was finally useful. He carefully selected two straight ones with longer sections.

The child skillfully scraped off the white frost on the sugarcane skin with a sickle, then cut it into two sections, tied it with sugarcane leaves and handed it to Qiao Yu.

"Boss, I'm here."

Chen Han took the sugarcane on his own initiative.

Qiao Yu took out a cigarette and tore it with his mouth as he walked.

Qiao Yu naturally handed the torn sugarcane peel to Gu Feng.

Then he said to Chen Han and the others, "If you want to eat, eat by yourselves."

Tiezhu whispered: "It turns out that eating sugarcane is the same as eating corn stalks."

Chen Han nodded: "Let's go back and eat it later."

They don't have a second master to collect sugarcane husks and sugarcane residues.

After tearing the sugarcane, Qiao Yu resisted the urge to bite it and instead handed the sugarcane to Gu Feng's mouth.

Gu Feng took a bite and the sweet taste penetrated his heart.

Gu Feng opened his eyes wide and looked at Qiao Yu.

"Hehe, you can tell you've never eaten it before, right? I knew that if Qingzhou had this, you would have bought it for me a long time ago."

Qiao Yu took a bite and found it was so sweet and thirst-quenching.

Gu Feng: "Sweeter than corn stalks."

"Of course, this is the raw material for making white sugar and rock sugar."

Gu Feng nodded and said in sudden realization: "No wonder it's so expensive."

"Twenty cents is not expensive. I am planning to buy a boat to go back to Taoyuan. Maybe I can grow some on the sandy land near our river."

Gu Feng immediately said: "Well, it's not expensive, buy it!"

They have been making and saving money for the past two years.

The deposits have long exceeded ten thousand taels of silver.

Not to mention buying a boatload of sugarcane, even buying a boat would be possible.

Qiao Yu said "hmm" happily, and then she set her eyes on the clothes in the cloth shop in front.

"Xianghe Cloth Shop, Brother Gu, let's go! The clothes here are so special, we must buy one for each of the children!"
