Second Sister Nongmen has space

Chapter 300
There has been no green in Yunzhou since the beginning of autumn, and everyone eats only cabbage and potatoes.

Fresh vegetables from Baolinju are no longer supplied to the Weisuo, but are sold at Tianxianglou at a high price.

Sui Jinwei can only buy vegetables from the town, usually bean sprouts and small vegetable sprouts grown by farmers in their own cellars.

After unloading the truck, Song Liyun also mentioned going to the herdsman's house to collect the leather goods.

Gao Xiaoqi, who sent them over, had already talked about the collection of fur goods. The person who came was the well-known Manager Song, and Luo Baihu had instructed him, so Shitan Fort also cooperated.

There are three or four families of herdsmen near Shitanbao, and each family drives their flocks out of the mountain pass to let them go outside, and they usually live outside in nests.

They had to wait until the mountains were covered by heavy snow before driving the flock back.

There is no way to drive a car from the military fort, the cart is parked in the fort, and the sergeant of Shitan Fort is patrolling on horseback, just in time to take Song Liyun and the two to find the herdsmen.

Outside the rocky beach castle is the Gobi Desert, with dead grass of different heights swaying in the wind, and sheep walking among them, gnawing on the damp grass roots between the rocks.

The appearance of Song Liyun and the others immediately attracted the dogs of the herdsmen's house to bark wildly, and the herdsmen who were busy working hurried over.

The sergeant who led the way backed off the dogs, and shouted loudly to an old man with a hunched body wrapped in a sheepskin robe: "Old Jiangtou, this is Miss Song. She is here to collect mutton and skin goods. Sell all the stocks in your house." !"

When Old Jiang heard that he was buying sheepskin, he shook his head again and again: "No, I will prepare a dowry for my daughter this year, and the leather at home will be brought to her in-laws' house."

The sergeant suddenly realized: "Oh! I forgot, Jiang Xiaoni is already 15 years old."

While talking, a girl with dirty clothes and red face shyly came out and saluted the sergeant.

Obviously they are very familiar with each other.

Lao Jiangtou's house doesn't have fur goods, other people should have them, but not in this place.

The sergeant handed over Song Liyun and Lao Jiangtou to greet him, and asked him not to be negligent, so he went to patrol the front.

Lao Jiangtou's house had no fur goods, so he took Song Liyun and Song Dekui a few miles away, and bought a few sheepskins at the other two herdsmen's houses.

Of course Song Liyun was not satisfied with these things.

That's not her goal.

The sheepskins are tied into bundles, and the sky is getting dark!

Song Liyun did not return to Shitan Fort, but stayed in Lao Jiangtou's house for a night on the stone ground.

There are ten members in Lao Jiangtou's family. In addition to the old couple, there are two sons, two daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren. Jiang Xiaoni, 15, is the youngest daughter and is about to become a newlywed.

Herdsmen's life is very simple, Song Liyun does not eat and drink for free, and takes out a small bag of corn noodles and a small bag of salt as expenses.

Grain and salt are good things.

Old Mrs. Jiang was a little unhappy about having two extra mouths to eat at home, but seeing Song Liyun give food and salt, her complexion suddenly turned cloudy.

Not only put a little milk skin on, but also let the two daughter-in-laws immediately take the leg of lamb that has been stored for a long time and stew it on it, and put black dried vegetable noodles in the pot, and soak it in mutton soup for a while.

At night, when the son of the Jiang family came back from herding sheep, he was a little surprised to see two strangers suddenly appearing in the house, especially when he saw a girl appearing in the wilderness.

They didn't realize it until Old Jiangtou said that Song Liyun was Manager Song of Tianxiang Building in Qili County.

The herdsmen need to meet with the sergeants of the Shitan Fort frequently, so they naturally heard about a guard who traveled dozens of miles to eat.

Hearing those sergeants mention the delicious barbecue and the large plate of soft cakes, the Jiang family couldn't help drooling. It's rare for them to have the opportunity to eat such things.

When I saw Guanshi Song at this time, I naturally had to ask about Qili County and Tianxianglou, as well as about the feast.

Song Liyun was a little dumbfounded, isn't it worth talking about it for so long after eating the buffet for a few days?

The main reason is the lack of food on the grasslands.

Now that she has no time to think about business, she has to be patient and tell the Jiang family about Qili County and Tianxianglou.

"Now Tianxianglou sells five sheep every day. Seeing that there is not enough mutton to sell, I came out to find out if there is any mutton to send over."

Hearing that Tianxianglou sells five sheep a day, Jiang's family was shocked. There are seventy or eighty sheep in his family, which is not enough for Tianxianglou to sell in January.

Song Liyun spoke conservatively.

In addition to sheep, Tianxianglou also buys beef jerky, and a grocery store in Fucheng has come to discuss the purchase of Tianxianglou.

Everyone in the Jiang family had no doubts about Song Liyun's statement.

As far as those sergeants in Fort Worth eat, they eat a cow for a meal.

After talking about Tianxiang Tower, Song Liyun began to inquire about things on the grassland.

In the afternoon, she heard from Jiang Xiaoni that a small tribe of the Di tribe, consisting of five families, had moved to the Gobi Desert outside the Stone Beach Fort.

Jiang Xiaoni's future husband's family is the patriarch.

When Song Liyun was talking about Qili County just now, Song Dekui hadn't interrupted. Now he got excited and asked directly: How can people from the Wu Dynasty and people from the Di people intermarry?

Song Liyun was also a little curious. Although the border people of the Wu Dynasty didn't say they hated the Dilu people, they still couldn't share the sky. How could they get married without any grievances? They still have to hide their marriage.

If you don't ask, you don't know, but if you ask, you will be shocked. The two daughter-in-laws of Lao Jiangtou's family are both from the Di family.

Only then did Song Liyun understand that these herdsmen didn't know what marriage between close relatives was, they only knew that a daughter's recent marriage would anger the gods and give birth to monsters.

This is also common sense that has been widely spread in the grasslands.

The Di tribe also cannot marry within the tribe.

Therefore, on the sparsely populated border, as long as there are no herdsmen on both sides in direct conflict, intermarriage is actually very frequent, which is also a way to maintain local peace.

Through the two sons of the Jiang family, Song Liyun finally heard about the grassland.

The tribe that moved to Hungry Wolf Beach came from the Mida Valley.

I heard that there is already a battlefield there.

The Midra Valley, where the various tribes spent the winter, is now in chaos.

The newly-emerged Wuda tribe is gathering tribes, and the sense of crisis makes the Donglun tribe also rush to expand the population.

There have been several small fights between the two sides. Although there is no real big fight, everyone can see that this is sharpening their swords and comparing courage and force.

This is the harbinger of the coming war.

Some small tribes who did not want to be involved in the fighting avoided and had to risk moving from the place where they spent the winter.

There are only five tribes in Jiang Xiaonifu's family, with a total of more than 30 people, and dozens of cows and hundreds of sheep.

They were too weak, and the tribes on both sides looked down on them. They didn't dare to stay near the Mida River Valley, and they didn't want to be annexed by other tribes, so they came closer to the Wu Dynasty.

In this way, some necessities of life can be exchanged, and it can also find a marriage partner for the children in the tribe.

These small tribes with little combat effectiveness are close to the defense line of the Zhenbei Army. As long as they notify the guard in advance, stay obediently, and pay a few live sheep and felt blankets as taxes, they will not be expelled under normal circumstances.

Song Dekui was very interested in the affairs of the prairie tribes, and asked how much dowry it would take to marry a prairie girl, and how to become a son-in-law.

Would a skinny man like him marry a girl from the tribe?
