Passing through the station

No matter how reluctant Ye Dong was, he was still taken by Ruan Bai to the primeval forest, ten days and nine nights, horse riding/walking, donkey friends, free experience package.Free yo dear!You can bring your family!

Because there was no attempt to blow up the mountain this time, Xiaopang and Xuexue also followed.

While Ruan Bai, Chu Hao, Ye Dong, and Pan Jun tried their best to record the growth of sugarcane, Xiaopang and Xuexue took on the important task of supporting their family.The accompanying soldiers silently cut down the wild sugar cane one by one, and then packed them out in bundles.

The environment of forests and grasslands in south of the Five Ridges is very different.Various shrubs also pose great obstacles to their hunting.But after the initial period of adaptation, they become kings of the jungle in no time.

Well, Xuexue was actually quite used to hunting in the jungle.Its former owner, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, took it with him wherever he went hunting and suppressing bandits.The harvest these days made Ruan Bai and Chu Hao look at Xuexue with new admiration.

Before leaving, Xiaopang also pulled a vine to play with Xuexue.

The day before, the two of them were playing with a snake, which was confiscated by Ruan Bai and made into skewers.This time, it was still confiscated.

The tree vine was thrown to Ye Dong and brought back to Zhong'an.

Boss Ruan said: "Plant together." A wild kiwi fruit, I don't know where Xiaopang and Xuexue dig it out, let them take people there, pretending not to understand, so there is only one remaining fruit.It is not a big problem whether they are alive or not. Anyway, with the future contact with the mountain people, the wild fruits in various mountains will definitely be indispensable.

The fat people were quite strong, and the vines were not cut in the middle, but uprooted and brought back wrapped in wet mud.

Ye Dong already felt a little worried about the debt: "Oh, let's plant it."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Boss Ruan shouted loudly after finishing speaking, "Liniang! Liniang, is the press I asked you to make ready?"

Liniang is so busy these days, she doesn't pay attention to her image, she ran out quickly with her skirt in hand, her brow was sweating, and she held something like a small wooden stool in her hand: "It's done, it's done! Here it is!"

This thing already has a pattern given by Ruan Bai, so it is not difficult to make.She stuffed the press into Ruan Bai's arms, turned around and ran away.

Ruan Bai stared: "Why are you running?" He hasn't come back for so long, didn't he even have a nice word?Still don't pay attention to his boss? !

Liniang's voice came from far away: "Busy! Go play by yourself!" She was born as a businessman and the only daughter in the family. Her father taught her by example, which made her much stronger in business than ordinary women. .Later, she opened a business in Xishan City. Even with Ruan Bai on her back, she still handles many things by herself. After these two years, her business skills are better than most men.

However, this does not mean that she has no weaknesses.This time, it was not easy, and Ruan Bai's middle and high-level staff came here. Not to mention anything else, their vision is much broader than hers.She is too busy to study, how can she have time to coax this little brother Ruan Bai?

Ruan Bai snorted with anger: "Hmph!" He muttered, "Play by yourself, I won't take you to play in the future."

Chu Hao rubbed his head: "Why aren't you tired today?" Ruan Bai must have eaten, bathed and slept in a three-piece suit when he came back from a long trip before, but today he left all of them behind.

Ruan Bai didn't even bother to answer him: "Go and get me a small stool, and bring me a basin or a bowl."

Chu Hao didn't need to repeat the original words, the soldiers immediately brought over what Ruan Bai asked for, and moved a stool for Chu Hao with a wink.

They sit directly in the yard, right next to the sugar cane.Ruan Bai took one casually and stuffed it into the press... a bit rough...

"Come on, make two cuts."

Chu Hao cut a cross on the sugar cane according to Ruan Bai's gesture, and divided it into four evenly; then watched Ruan Bai stuff the thinned sugar cane strips into the so-called press, and use a round cake-like When the mold-like wooden stick is pressed, the rich juice will flow down the downward-sloping groove and into the basin below.

A sweet taste overflowed.

Xiaopang poked his head over and quickly licked it.

Ruan Bai: "..."

Chu Hao who also wants to drink: It's too late!

Xuexue took the opportunity to take the basin away.

The soldiers quickly brought another basin and put it away.

Chu Hao chased after him and locked up the two dogs, stealing Ruan Bai's work: "Go and wash first, and get some food by the way, I'll do it." Pan's family is small, there are only two old servants who clean , will not help them prepare their food properly.

Ruan Bai foolishly and naively believed in his man, so after he took a shower and made cold noodles, there was still only one basin in front of the press, and there was not much sugarcane juice in it.Two bundles of sugar cane piled up in the yard were missing.

Ever since the pot of sweet mutton started that winter, he should have realized how sweet it is!

"Second brother..." Chu Hao was slightly guilty, and his movements became faster, and he squeezed out a pot of sugarcane juice in a short while, and handed it to Ruan Bai flatteringly.

The soldiers who participated in the distribution of spoils were silent.

Ruan Bai couldn't even get angry: "Come here and eat first."

These few days in the woods, there is no shortage of meat, and even a lot of eggs.But that is completely different from sitting in the room and eating a bowl of cold noodles.

Because of the temptation of sweets, Chu Hao and his soldiers were full of energy.

Originally, Ruan Bai boiled sugar alone in the kitchen, but when the syrup thickened, Chu Hao silently appeared beside him, startling him: "When did you come in?"

Chu Hao hurriedly stabilized Ruan Bai, lest he move too much, and threw the stirring chopsticks out of the pot: "Just arrived. Are you still okay?" It is not a good thing to have too sensitive five senses.The Pan family was only that big, and the kitchen was right next to the yard, so they couldn't concentrate at all.

Sugar is nothing new in Dazhou, but Chu Hao still waited on the sidelines.

Ruan Bai had no choice but to make some bunches of candied haws for him.Zhong'an is rich in all kinds of melons and fruits, small whole, large slices and cut into pieces, wrapped in crystal clear syrup, and placed in the prepared ice cubes to cool down quickly.

Chu Hao looked at it without blinking: "It will melt in a while, I ate it all up today, will I eat too much at once?"

Can you be a little more fake?Ruan Bai wiped his face: "You can only eat two, and share the rest with others."

Chu Hao's expression immediately became serious: "You don't like sweets, so who do you want to share?"

"The soldiers who followed us into the mountains to carry sugar cane, Pan Jun and Ye Dong, and Liniang and the others, the two old slaves who waited on us in the house." There are so many candied gourds, it's really too much for one person to eat them all in one day. Got an idea.

Chu Hao reluctantly shared the candied haws.It's not too rare to eat food in Dazhou, but compared with the simple hawthorn fruit, the one produced by Ruan Bai is obviously more colorful, and it is even better in terms of freshness.

After taking a lot of candied haws during the day, Chu Hao couldn't sleep at night, tossing and turning on the bed.

As soon as Ruan Bai lay on the bed, he felt sleepy, but he couldn't sleep at all after being so fixed by him, so he couldn't help but slap his belly with his backhand: "A few candied haws, what do you want?"

"Hmph!" He squeezed the sugar cane juice, so why did he get two in the end!

Ruan Bai turned sideways and pulled his arm: "Didn't you get tired of eating when you were a child?" Da Zhou has no shortage of candy, snacks, candied fruit and the like.In places like Xijing, there are still many time-honored candy shops.Ordinary people may not be able to afford it, or it is rare to buy it, but the Pingxi Palace is still short of Chu Hao's candy?

It took Chu Hao a long while to say wronged: "Mother said eating candy is against manliness." Anyway, since he can remember, he hasn't eaten candy seriously.

How can this thing be so cute?Sure enough, if a square-faced Tibetan fox cultivates to become a spirit, that is also a vixen spirit!Ruan Bai stretched his arms, pressed directly on the vixen's body, and kissed him.

Chu Hao didn't know at all, he wasn't talking about eating candy just now, why did his wife get interested.But meeting the needs of the wife is the duty of the husband!

"Not tired?"

"Tired, but you can come once."

The next day, Ruan Bai slept until the sun was setting. He was woken up by Chu Hao and fed porridge without any memory. He wondered why he didn't feel hungry after sleeping for so long.

Chu Hao was checking a list, and when he heard Ruan Bai woke up, he immediately put down the things in his hands, walked quickly to the bed, and handed the clothes to him: "Get up quickly when you wake up, and we will go back tomorrow. Shunyang."

"In such a hurry?" Ruan Bai still wanted to walk around and feel the "market" of the local yamen here.

"There are two prairie tribes who want to join in, and Lao Tian is dragging it, waiting for us to go back to host." The tribe's joining is a matter of time, but the debate has only been open for less than a year, and someone wants to join, which is a bit unexpected. he expected.

"So fast?" Ruan Bai was also surprised, "Then we have to leave quickly." Even now that Dazhou's postal system has a framework, the delivery of letters is much faster than before; but many things are not clearly stated in the letter , still have to be resolved face to face.

Both are very dynamic people.After an explanation at night, he left early the next morning with a few soldiers.

Wanting to come here to seduce the dignitaries who were close to snooping on the news, they failed again, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

But when Ruan Bai left, there were quite a few subordinates left behind.Although it was not easy to catch any of them, it was much easier for them to meet a few businessmen than Ruan Bai.

After being summoned several times, the middle and high-level members of Ruan's business empire were completely annoyed.It's okay to do business with a partner, they have no objection at all; but to inquire about news?Apart from making money, how do they know other news?

A few middle and high-level people got together and immediately made a decision: "Let's go to the edge of the mountain road near the Shanzu and make a small town."

"That's right, the owner said that he wants to make good friends with the Shan tribe. The road from Lingnan to Zhong'an is so long, even if it is not from the Shan tribe, there are definitely many caravans that need to rest in the middle."

"Do the same, let's build two towns? One is to buy land from Zhong'an, and the other is to buy land from Lingnan."

"In addition to restaurants, tea shops, inns, and markets, we should set up a medical station."

"It makes sense, I'll go to the doctor to discuss it."

"I'm going to choose a site to buy land."

"Don't my boss want to grow sugar cane? Buy more land!"
