Bianshanhan [farming]

Although Li Maoxian and the others came to Fanyang City for several days, they were reluctant to spend money to stay in a hotel. A group of people carried thin bags and stayed on their feet for a few nights.

The room Chen Wen asked for for Li Qingwen and his brothers in this inn was not small, but there were so many people staying there, Li Qingwen wanted to ask for two more rooms, but was stopped by several people.

"Don't waste that money, we'll just lie on the ground overnight."

"The place where we sleep on foot is dirty and messy, not half as clean as here."

"It's just a place to sleep, it doesn't cost money!"

No need to ask to know that the price of staying here for one night is not cheap. Everyone here knows that it is not easy to earn money. They would rather sleep on the street than spend this money.

In the end, Li Qingwen only got a room next to Li Maoyu.

In the evening, everyone took out sorghum pancakes from their packs and swallowed them bit by bit with hot water.

Seeing the big guy gobbling it up, Li Qingwen really didn't like it. His family's life has improved now, but the people of the same clan are still the same as before, and they are struggling. No wonder his father led people out to find a way out.

Life is difficult.

Li Qingwen and the others, regarded as hope by the villagers, spent the whole night asking them about the border town, Li Qingwen didn't need to waste much time, Li Qingfeng could deal with these dozens of people with just one mouth.

Li Maoxian also knew that the only way for the people of the same clan to go was the border town, and they just had to explain it clearly to their family members after returning home.

The next day, Li Qingwen and the others drove to the fur shop again, it was still the same one that their brothers came to last time.

"This time the leather is not tanned very well, but it is smoother than last time..." the shopkeeper muttered, "Hey, this pile of deerskins is really good, this, who tanned the deerskins, the craftsmanship is not as good as Our shop is bad..."

Li Qingwen looked over and saw that Liu He had given them what the shopkeeper had agreed to. The tribes had tanned their fur for hundreds of thousands of years, so the techniques and techniques were naturally the same.

Their tribal tanning method is good, the buckskin is wide and bright, and each piece is top-grade.

The shopkeeper showed the deerskin in his hand to several other masters, smelled and touched it, they all agreed and wanted to ask Li Qingwen and the others for advice.

Li Qingwen said that it came from a trade, and he didn't know who it was from. These masters sighed a few times.

This time the shopkeeper didn't have to wait for them, and started to ask for a price for each leather. Compared with the last price, it was almost the same.

The skins that had been saved for two years were sold at once, and an ingot of snowflake silver was packed into a wooden box after looking at it. Li Qingwen suddenly felt that his waist was harder than marble.

Li Qingshun and the others surrounded Li Qingwen tightly, fearing that the money would be robbed.

Now they are even more determined to go to the border town. Even if they risk their lives, they still have to earn a future for their family.

After selling the furs, there are still dry goods such as pine nuts, hazelnuts and mushrooms left in the car.

Contrary to all expectations, these things are not cheap either.

The mushrooms in Biancheng are big and the meat is thick and thick. You can taste delicious when you pick up a dried mushroom and cook it.Pine nuts and hazelnuts are scarce in quantity, except for the local tribute to the imperial court, most of the rest go to wealthy families, and the price is even higher.

The shopkeeper weighed in and gave the price, Li Qingwen was still thinking about it, Li Maoyu raised his eyebrows, and started haggling.

She used to live closely with Liu Dacheng, she would not waste a penny, and she was the most careful about buying and selling things, she didn't want to take advantage of others, and she would not let herself suffer.

Li Maoyu has never eaten pine nuts or hazelnuts, and just wants to sell as much money as possible.

It's just two small bags of dry goods, which are worth dozens of taels of silver. Originally, Li Qingwen wanted to eat the mushrooms at home, but Li Maoxian held him down.

Although the money went into Li Qingwen's pocket, everyone rubbed their hands excitedly, full of anticipation, as if the border town was a place to pick up gold.

Last but not least is the candle.

Li Qingwen and the others went to the biggest store in Fanyang City, originally wanting to inquire about the price of the candles, but in the end they didn't go out. All the candles were bought, and the price of each one was astonishing. Li Qingwen and others were also left behind by the shopkeeper.

The other party knew immediately that it was not a beeswax candle. The quantity was so large that anyone who saw it would be stared at. He wanted to find out what kind of candle this candle was made of. Naturally, his enthusiasm did not need to be expressed.

The shopkeeper is a scheming man, he has been probing, and he has always been false if he doesn't see a rabbit. Li Qingwen was not sure how to deal with it, so Li Maoxian found an excuse to get out.

Li Maoyu and others waited outside for a long time before they saw their father and son coming out, and they asked in unison what was going on.

Li Qingfeng frowned, "That man's mouth seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't understand the few words he repeated over and over again. He was so anxious to death."

If Li Maoxian hadn't told him to be patient, he would have come out in the middle of what he said just now.

Li Qingwen heaved a sigh of relief. It's not that the shopkeeper didn't understand, but he probably wanted them to say more...

After sitting for a long time just now, Li Qingwen only figured out one thing, that is, he is not the one to talk about business, if his father hadn't handled it well just now, he might have been tricked out of his words without knowing it.

After they left, a few people followed quietly. When they were about to reach the inn, Li Maoxian stopped. Li Qingfeng found the tail behind him, his eyes widened angrily, he grabbed the wooden stick from the car and was about to turn back, but was stopped by Li Qingwen up.

What should be sold has been sold out, and they should go home, so it is not easy to cause trouble.

Some people went to the inn to carry their bags, threw them into the car, and went straight out of the city.

Seeing that they noticed it, the other party did not continue to follow.

After leaving Fanyang City, there is a wide road. Just in case, they still detoured for half a day at the fork in the road. Li Qingfeng rode his horse and fell behind for more than ten miles. No suspicious person was seen. This time he urged the horse to catch up. .

Thinking of going to the border town, everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace on the way back. Li Maoyu sat in the car, looked at the far north, and made a decision in his heart.

After arriving in Liushan County, the carriage stopped for more than a quarter of an hour. Li Qingwen took the medicinal materials prepared in advance to Huichun Hall and handed them to Dr. Lu himself.

On the day when Li Qingzhuo became a teacher, he regarded Dr. Lu as his lifelong master. When he went to the capital to study, the Li family would also behave with due courtesy.Sending rice for the autumn harvest, slaughtering pigs and sending meat, and taking medicinal materials when returning from the border town.

Dr. Lu was also happy to see Li's family. After talking about Li Qingzhuo's letter and recent situation, he couldn't refuse these medicinal materials, so he stuffed Li Qingwen with many medicinal powders and pills.

On the way from Huichuntang to the village, everyone was jogging, wishing they could get home early, pack up their things and head north.

There were so many of them, and when they passed other villages on the road, someone asked where they had gone. Li Maoxian said that they had gone to Fanyang City, and those people came over and followed them, asking about the affairs of Fanyang City.

The year is not good, everyone wants to find more ways, but Fan Yangcheng obviously has no way out.

As soon as they entered the village, adults and children spread the word, and soon every household in the village knew about it.

Li Maoxian took people out to find something to do. Everyone in this village knew that if he came back so soon, this trip must be in vain.

Sure enough, when I asked, I heard that many people were scrambling to work there, and those who didn't go out were both happy and anxious.Fortunately, I didn't toss my legs and feet in vain, and I was anxious that a place as big as Fanyang City was so tragic, they had no choice but to ask God to open their eyes, and don't torment them poor people next year.

Li Qingwen and Li Qingfeng arrived home surrounded by a group of people. Li Qingrui and Chen Shi, who had already heard the movement, trotted to the door. Seeing that their father and son were together, Chen Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then went up to hug the two brothers tightly. Stop, "Son, my son!"

The two brothers called mother twice, Chen couldn't help but shed tears again.

Time passed too fast, counting with fingers, the two brothers have been away from home for more than a year.

Mrs. Chen was washing diapers in the house just now, but ran out without wiping her hands clean. Li Maoyu went up to wipe the water off the back of her hands with his sleeve.

Li Zhengliang threw himself on Li Qingfeng to let the fourth uncle carry him. Li Qingfeng smiled maliciously and asked him to stand in front of him. Then he lay on the back of his eldest nephew, making Li Zhengliang yell.

Li Qingfeng ate well in the border town, slept soundly, and was growing up. He bent over and stepped on the ground with his legs, crushing Li Zhengliang like a little turtle.

Li Zhengming looked at the two uncles with bright eyes, and his mouth was pursed. Li Qingwen stepped forward to pick him up and turned him upside down. The little nephew was much heavier than before, and his hair and body were also limp.

The two of them were pushed into the house by a group of people. Jiang hugged the little girl and rolled her eyes with a smile, "Our fourth and Zai'er are finally back."

"sister in law.".Li Qingfeng stretched out his arms to hug his little niece, but was stopped by Li Qinghong, "You have been walking outside for a long time, and you are covered in air-conditioning. The child is still young, so you can't catch the cold."

Li Qingrui had only glanced at the two younger brothers before he had to greet Guo Daquan and the elders who followed them.

Although I know it's not the right time to come, but I don't care too much about the most important things.

Li Qingwen was dragged to the west room by his mother and sister-in-law to ask for warmth, while Li Qingfeng, Li Qingrui and others discussed business with Guo Daquan and others in the east room.

Li Qingyong and the others left a message on their way home to go to the border town and asked the family to pack up their things. They arrived at Li Qingwen's house one step too late, and the house was full of people for a while.

Today when the two sons came back, Mrs. Chen sat on the kang and was not going to move.

Whether Mrs. Chen asked about food, accommodation, or things on the way, Li Qingwen said yes, and Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "No wonder Zaier has been reluctant to come back. It seems that the place is really good!"

Li Qinghong chimed in and said, "Our boy didn't say a single word of nonsense, mother, if you go there, you will definitely like it too."

Hearing what the third brother said, Li Qingwen said casually: "Many people in the village will go to the border town this time, why don't parents and sister-in-law go together, and our family will live the same life there."

It's not because Li Qingwen is quick-mouthed, this idea has been in his mind for a long time. The fields in the village are too thin, and the family guards the land, and they can't be self-sufficient in the harvest year. Once the wind and rain are not right, they will immediately fall into a predicament. People feel at ease.
