Bianshanhan [farming]

After Jiang Cong and Jiang Liping sent the people, they made up forage and food, and immediately turned around to pick up the rest of the people and things.

The post station did not have any extra food for the more than 100 people left behind, and they could not delay.

Li Qingwen wanted to go at first, but Jiang Cong pressed him on the kang. He frowned, but finally stayed.

After seeing several people's injuries, Zhou Yao used a knife to cut off their frostbitten fingers and toes. These have been completely frozen, and keeping them will only expand the wounds. The sooner they are removed, the better.

Li Maoqun couldn't bear it, and turned his head to boil the medicine, and Li Maoyu also made it together.

When everyone told what happened on the road, those who stayed in the camp were all shocked, and no one expected such an accident, and they all sighed that if they survived here, they would have lost their lives.

Guo Dayong and the others were not only happy for the arrival of the villagers, but also worried about their injuries and the village's harvest. It can be said that there is a mixture of sorrow and joy.

After treating the wounds of several people neatly, Zhou Yao looked at those whose ears had fallen off, and took some medicine to apply to them.

Among the dozens of people who were injured, some of them were big-hearted, knowing that they were all right, they should eat and drink, and secretly shed tears for a few nights, and eventually became disabled and could not recover for the rest of their lives.

But no matter who it is, I feel more fortunate in my heart. After all, I thought I would die when I was on the road. Now I can survive because of the blessing of my ancestors.

The Li family brothers went to find Zhou Congxin, and heard the reason why the people from Yangshu Village came to the border town. Zhou Congxin showed embarrassment, and vacated a few houses in the camp for the people from Yangshu Village to live in first.

Li Maoqun and the Liu family brothers cook a lot of meals for the villagers every day, hoping that having a full meal can make up for the hardships they encountered on the road.

Li Maoyu's mother and daughter will live with Zhou Yao first, and build a new house when it gets warmer next year.

Li Qingyong was exhausted, and like everyone else, he fell on the kang and didn't want to move for days.Once, he heard that the houses in the west were filled with the grain that Li Qingfeng and the others harvested last year, as if they had been infused with life, he straightened his back, jumped from the kang to the ground, and insisted that Li Qingfeng take him to have a look.

When it came to food, other people also became energetic and put on their clothes and shoes one after another.

Li Qingfeng opened the door, and when everyone saw the sorghum rice piled up to the door, they were silent for a moment, squatted down and grabbed a handful, it was heavy and full.

I went to the one next to it, and it was still full of houses, and there was a row of tall granaries behind the two houses...

"In addition, I borrowed a few warehouses from officers and soldiers." Li Qingfeng pointed to the east, and said: "Uncle Maoqun has the key, if you want to see it, go to him for it."

"No need, no need!" After estimating for a long time, everyone asked in disbelief: "This, these, how many catties are there in total?"

"I'll do the math." Li Qingfeng thought about it, and said, "Brother Jiang and the others don't need to hand over the food this year. These are ours and theirs. Including the unfinished food from last year, it's about 50 catties."

"How much, how much?" The big guys asked with protruding eyes.

Li Qingfeng repeated again, "There are still [-] to [-] catties of Uncle Maoqun and Brother Liu."

Everyone swallowed their saliva desperately, darling, they share that little land in the village, and it adds up to several thousand catties of grain throughout the year, and they still have to pay tax and various taxes. After two years, I have saved so much food!

These grains can almost feed the whole village for a year.

I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!

Now that he came out, Li Qingfeng led his brother and uncle who were stunned around the area.

After going to the stables and cowshed first, Li Qingfeng pointed to his pony and showed them, "This is mine."

The little pony hadn't seen Li Qingfeng for a long time, so he came up and arched Li Qingfeng's hand with his mouth.

Although it is a bit small, the big guys are also envious. The pony can ride longer when it grows up.

Next to the foal are sheep, and there are already a dozen big sheep and lambs, burying their heads in eating grass and sorghum stalks.

Hearing that those few sheep survived to the border town, everyone exclaimed in unison, this sheep can really walk.

Similarly, the Yakut horses in the cowshed almost shocked the villagers, "I picked it up?!"

More than 20 horses, they were picked up!

If you take it back and sell it for money, it will cost at least a few hundred taels of silver!

Everyone immediately forgot about the wind and snow, and already started to think about going out to try their luck.

Even if you don't sell it, it's much more convenient to have a horse to work...

Still thinking about the horse, Li Qingfeng walked to the shed, and then they saw a shed full of dried mushrooms, and the next shed was full of sacks of pine nuts and hazelnuts.

There are also rows of bacon hanging on the wood, and hard eels and loaches frozen on the ground. These were brought back by Jiang Liping after Jiang Cong and the others left.

"Fish, fish..." Li Qingyong couldn't move his eyes, and said with difficulty: "Didn't you say that fish is eaten here all year round."

For the people in Yangshu Village who have no river or ditches, many people don't know what fish are like.

"When to eat and when to catch, it's still fresh." Li Qingfeng said.

Everyone was curious and wanted to see it now, so Li Qingfeng went to ask Ma Yongjiang to bring out the fishing net. After shouting several times, Old Xing came out with his head, "He went to the river with Xiao Zaier!"

Everyone wanted to see how to fish, so Li Qingfeng led the way. Passing by the two tall haystacks in front of the door, someone vaguely saw the exposed horns. An old horn...

They didn't know any antlers and old horns before, but they only knew about Li Qingwen's selling them when they were in Fan Yangcheng.

"This, these two stacks are, are they?"

"Yes, there are still many in the woods that haven't been pulled back. I'll take you to pick them up next time."

Pick up, pick up, pick up... really pick up.

Everyone looked like they were dreaming.

On the way to the river, they saw piles of bales that could not be seen. They were all covered under the snow, and they stretched out their hands to pull some out. They were all squeezed sorghum stalks. It's also easy to get up.

With these firewood, who is afraid of the cold in winter?

When they got to the river, Li Qingwen was talking to Sun's family, and Ma Yongjiang and Gao Yubao were collecting their nets, and there were piles of fish as high as hills by the river.

Li Qingyong and the others seemed to be immobilized, standing in place, staring at the fish non-stop.

A lot, I heard that fish meat is delicious...

Everyone licked their lips in unison, and was quickly dried by the cold wind. It hurt a little, but no one cared.

Li Qingfeng went to replace another person, pulled out the net, and another bunch of fish were caught on the shore.

Everyone was shocked at how many fish there were in the river, then lamented how simple fishing was, and finally was puzzled that the fish was smooth and hairless, yet it was still alive in this cold weather...

Li Qingwen introduced the Sun family to the villagers, and they will all live here in the future, so they need to help each other.

Originally, these fish were enough to eat for a while. Seeing that the villagers were curious, Li Qingfeng taught them how to get them out of the net. Everyone tried it one after another, and finally fished out a lot.

Everyone in Yangshu Village was very excited. In the past, if they wanted to eat meat, they had to raise chickens and pigs.

Compared with chickens, ducks and pigs, fish do not need to be fed, it is so easy to get! !

What's the difference between that and picked up? !

If they can live like this in the future, their hardships on the road will be nothing.

After going out for this trip, the people in Yangshu Village were more lively than when they left the village, striding back carrying the fish.

Seeing that they had regained their spirits, Li Qingwen estimated the days and made arrangements for food, preparing to cleanse the big guys.

At noon on the second day, Jiang Cong and the others took the rest of the people to the camp. When the people in Yangshu Village were talking together, Jiang Cong, Jiang Liping, and Li Qinghong went to see Zhou Fengnian and Lin Tan.

There are so many people coming from the camp, they should be notified, there is also the strong wind encountered on the road, the death of the people at the post station, and so on.

This time without Li Qingfeng, Li Qingyong took the people who had just arrived at the camp and their buttocks were not hot enough to go out for a walk, talking about food, horses, and fish, as if he owned these, Li Qingyong was very proud.

Needless to say, it naturally attracted a group of people to stare blankly.

Although Li Qingyong doesn't have one now, as long as he works hard here for two years, he thinks it will be fine.

After all the people arrived, all the pots started to smoke, and Li Qingwen and Li Maoyuniang started to cook and eat. They had a tough journey, and they finally made it to the place alive, so naturally they had to celebrate it.

The Sun family and the cook also came to help, the Sun family brought a lot of fruit, the cook brought a pot and some eggs that could not hatch chickens, and Zhou Congxin brought three deer, which they went to the warehouse in the name of Zhou Fengnian. .

After Li Qingwen and the others delivered the eggs brought by the station to the kitchen, they forgot about it in a hurry. After the chickens hatched, the kitchen staff helped to raise them. Those that could not be hatched went into the stomach.

Now these chickens and eggs are the common property of them and the kitchen.

Fried, boiled, stewed, stir-fried... More than a dozen people have been busy all day, and they have been hungry for a long time. In the evening, a group of people sat in their respective houses and ate fried rabbit meat, braised fish nuggets, pickled fish, stewed fish, etc. Venison, braised eel, stewed pheasant with mushrooms...

There is also sorghum rice that can be served and eaten casually!

There are too many people to stay in one room, and everyone doesn't care, as long as they have enough to eat.

Although the dishes are the same, they are not cooked by the same person. No matter how the craftsmanship is, it is all meat, and the taste is not much different.

When eating, everyone has the same thoughts - if these things can be eaten by the whole family, that would be even better!

The venison was left on purpose to replenish the bodies of those on the road. After eating, everyone knew it was venison. They wanted to spit it out and knead it again.It is better to sell the meat than to eat it in the stomach. There are enough other meats, so this is not bad!

During the banquet, the wine made by Li Maoqun was also served, and the hot guy stuck out his tongue. After eating and drinking, everyone lay down on the hot kang contentedly.

They saw it with their own eyes, this place is really huge, the one thousand acres of land that Li Qingfeng said is just a small piece of land, there is no difference at all...

There is also a river here, so much water, even if it is dry, there is no need to run around looking for water to drink...

They also want to reclaim more land here, plant more land, and harvest more grain. If there is another disaster in Bingzhou, they will take over their family members.

At the end of the stir-fry, Li Qingwen couldn't lift his hands. Jiang Cong finished the last few dishes under his command, not to mention other things, he still had a good posture.

After eating, Li Qingwen lay down on the kang, Jiang Cong dragged him over, rubbed his stomach and arms, and put the stone between his feet, rubbing it slowly.

Li Qingwen hummed comfortably, and Li Qingyong, who came to visit, turned his head and said to Li Qingfeng, "You're right, I'm afraid Brother Jiang is really Xiao Zai'er's brother, so far, have they been separated?"

Li Qingfeng gave him a sideways look. Li Qingyong knew that he should shut up, but he was envious in his heart. He had a bunch of brothers, but none of them were as nice to Li Qingwen as Jiang Cong.

Li Qingwen felt comfortable for a while, then let Jiang Cong lie down, and rode on himself, holding the stone with both hands, and rubbing his back through his clothes.

Knowing that Li Qingwen was busy, Ma Yongjiang went to wipe the ointment on his heels by himself, opened the wooden box, looked at the white silver inside, blinked his eyes, and asked after a while, "Where did this silver come from?!"

"Sell medicinal materials, furs, and candles." Li Qingwen said: "According to what I said before, I will send 20 taels of silver to each of your families following the letter. These are the rest."

Ma Yongjiang moved the wooden box out and wanted to check it out, but found another box underneath. This box had been bumped, and the red paint on the outside was all off. Through the gap, he squinted his eyes and looked hard, and there was still silver inside... …

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ma Yongjiang moved out the second box, and saw that there was another box next to it, the lock on it was good, so he took it out and shook it vigorously with his hands, it seemed to be the sound of silver hitting...

Taking a deep breath, Ma Yongjiang asked: "You, how much silver did you bring back?"

Li Qingwen handed him the brochure he carried with him, "It's all here, pass it to the big guys after you read it."

Ma Yongjiang couldn't wait to open it, looked at it, his eyes were as big as a bull's eye, "Why, why is this so much money?"

The other people in the room had no clothes on, they crawled out of the quilt, and gathered around one after another, some looking at the silver, some reading the brochures, and then there was a sound of air-conditioning.

At the beginning, those who thought that Li Qingwen's earning money to compensate for the loss of tributes was a fantasy were the most shocked. After all, they have little knowledge. They receive that little amount of money every month, and they don't know that someone can really earn so much money!

This is not counting the 20 taels each of them got...

When everyone was talking excitedly, Jiang Cong stuffed Li Qingwen and Shitou into the bed, and then got in by himself. He knew about this a long time ago, so he didn't want to join in the fun at this time.

After the hard work, there was also a surprise.That night, both Yangshucun and Jiang Liping fell asleep with smiles and hopes.
