Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Soon the food was served. It was winter now and there were no green vegetables on the table. There was one dish of stir-fried cabbage with bacon, one of stewed radish with pork ribs, etc.

We all knew each other, and there was no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. Time passed quickly as we ate and talked.

"Oh! It's snowing!" After dinner, several people were chatting in the living room when they heard the maid's surprised voice.

Wang Xinyue ran out first, "Wow! It's really snowing."

Xia Zixuan and a few others followed closely behind. She reached out to catch a snowflake. Looking at the shape and size of the snowflake, she had a hunch that the snow would be heavier.

Xia Zixuan was worried about the greenhouse at home. She didn't know whether Uncle Cheng had finished making the straw mats that he had asked someone to weave. She said to Wang Xinyao who was watching the snow, "Sister Xinyao, I'm going to go home today and come to see you another day."

Wang Xinyao saw that she had an imperceptible look of anxiety on her face, thinking that she might have something urgent to do, and said with a smile: "Okay, go and do your business first, I'll ask someone to get you a cloak."

"No need, Sister Xinyao. It's not cold sitting in the carriage." Xia Zixuan stopped her.

"Okay, then I'll take you out." Wang Xinyao said, holding Xia Zixuan's hand.

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay."

After Xia Zixuan and a few others came out of the county government office, said goodbye to Chu Qingchuan and his wife and Wang Xinyue, and then went back to the store.

In the carriage, Mu Chenyi looked at Xia Zixuan and asked with concern: "Zixuan is in such a hurry to go back, is there something urgent?"

Xia Zixuan saw that Mu Chenyi and Su Baiyu were looking at her with concern. She was no longer as worried as before. She thought that Uncle Cheng should keep the greenhouse warm.

She smiled and said, "It's snowing. I thought about going back to write a letter to Uncle Cheng, asking him to keep the greenhouse warm, and to comfort Aunt Wang, asking her not to worry about the wheat in the field. I was too anxious just now, and you didn't say goodbye properly."

Mu Chenyi handed her the tea he had poured and smiled gently, "Nothing, your business is more important."

When Su Baiyu heard her mention Xiaomai, he asked, "Zixuan, Xiaomai is really not afraid of the cold? Is it okay if it snows?"

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "Yes! Wheat is very resistant to freezing, and snow is like a blanket when we sleep. The accumulated snow can maintain the temperature of the soil to a certain extent, reduce the occurrence of frost damage to wheat, and protect wheat from the effects of low temperatures."

Mu Chenyi and Su Baiyu looked at each other, and Su Baiyu said, "So snow is so useful to Xiaomai!"

"Yes! Snowfall can also destroy the overwintering sites of some pathogens and insect eggs in the fields, which can effectively reduce the number of these pests. When the temperature rises after the New Year, it will also be beneficial to the healthy growth of wheat..."

Xia Zixuan finished talking to the two of them in one breath, and after she stopped, she felt her mouth was dry. Just as she thought of water, Mu Chenyi handed it to her. She took the tea that Mu Chenyi handed to her and drank two cups in a row before stopping.

He put down his teacup, looked at the two of them and said, "Now you know the benefits of snow for wheat!"

Mu Chenyi and the other person nodded to show that they understood.

As the three of them were talking, the carriage stopped outside the shop. Ying Yi stopped on the carriage road and said, "Master, we have arrived at the shop."

"Okay, Zixuan, let's go down!" Mu Chenyi responded to Xia Zixuan.

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay."

Arriving at the shop, Xia Zixuan saw that the cabinets were filled with soap and soap. She looked at Leng Lan who was walking over and asked, "How much soap did Le Nan and the others bring over?"

Leng Lan heard Xia Zixuan's question and quickly replied, "Miss, Le Nan, Le An, and Le Ping brought a total of six carts of soap and canned goods. Each shop has three carts. They said they will go back tomorrow."

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay, then let's set the opening date to the day after tomorrow! By the way, is the door plaque in the shop ready?"

Xia Zixuan remembered that she had not asked anyone to make the door plaque yet, so she asked Leng Lan.

"Reply young lady..." Leng Lan hadn't finished her words when Mu Chenyi's clear and moist voice rang out, his tone carrying some doting, "I knew you would forget. I've already had someone make the door plaque, and I'll have someone bring it over and hang it up in a bit."

Xia Zixuan turned her head to look at Mu Chenyi, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Ayi, I will treat you to a meal you have never eaten before tonight."

Mu Chenyi was in a good mood when he heard this and said, "Okay, don't bother yourself. Don't tire yourself out."

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay, I won't."

Su Baiyu was looking at the soaps and soaps in the cabinet when he came over from the other side. When he heard Xia Zixuan say that she would treat Mu Chenyi to delicious food, his eyes lit up, "Zixuan, is there anything delicious again? Is it better than the food you eat at your house?"

"Yes! I guarantee that the taste is something you have never tasted before, Second Brother Su. You will not be able to stop eating it." Xia Zixuan said jokingly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for dinner to arrive and try how it tastes." Su Baiyu said without looking at the soap.

Xia Zixuan didn't see Nan Ning, so she asked, "Where's Nan Ning?"
