The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 206 The Arrival of Summer
"Hey, what can I do?" Liu Er said, "It'll be over after a while."

Liu Mantang scolded: "These dog officials, they only know about conscripts, don't they even watch the busy and slack seasons now?"

At this time, a servant came over, and Liu Er quickly grabbed his cousin.

No, the guard just glanced at them and said, "Let's go and have breakfast."

In the past, the corvée didn't care about breakfast, and the meals they managed were all clear soup and water after counting. The laborers didn't look forward to it, and walked slowly to the place where the smoke rose.

Then someone yelled, "Hurry up, there are white buns."

The slow-walking crowd first paused, and then moved quickly in an instant.

Nowhere, the unique scent of white bread pierced into the nostrils, bringing out a lot of saliva like a hook.

The person who ran to the front first was about to be caught behind him, and then the back of his hand was hit hard with a stick.

"What are you doing?" said the steward standing next to him, "Just wait in line and wait for distribution."

The man covered his hands and laughed, as long as there are buns to eat, what is he going to do if he takes a bite?
The steward shouted loudly to the servants who gradually gathered: "Line in line."

Before the sergeant started distributing the steamed stuffed bun noodle soup, he said loudly, "All these foods were bought for you by the Zongdu Army of the Northern Camp. I hope you can work hard after eating and dig out this canal as soon as possible." .”

Then these words were answered in a voice like Hong Zhong, "Okay."

The sergeant began to distribute buns, and the servants waited in line with smiles on their faces.

The smiles on their faces became even brighter when they saw that the people in front received two buns and a bowl of soup in each hand.

Liu Mantang elbowed Liu Er and said with a smile, "It's all right now."

Yes, it's all right now.

If they had such delicious food every day during the working period, would they be unwilling?
Steamed bun noodle soup in the morning, stewed mutton with radish and noodle cake at noon, steamed stuffed bun and noodle soup in the evening.

The laborers who had worked for a day lay in the tents at night with a full stomach. Although they were tired all day, they still had a novel sense of happiness.

At the beginning, the servants ate the buns by themselves. Gradually, the children in the neighborhood often ran to the construction site. Dip the multigrain cake with vegetable soup.

The sergeant discovered this situation and went back to the barracks to report it that day.

But if you report it again, it can only be like this.

Zong Che could provide them with well-fed meals, but he couldn't force them to eat.

No matter who eats it, nothing is wasted. Those people are willing to endure hardships for their families, which is their due and responsibility.

You can't blame him for someone dying on the river beach at the same time as he provided a lot of delicious food.

It's either stewed beef or mutton here. The buns are eaten twice a day. Although they are stuffed with tofu and radish, they can't bear it. It's mixed with lard residue.

So after a few more days, in addition to the children who came to exchange delicious food with their own adults, some idlers who had nothing to do at home came over, and then one person did the work for a long time. The ones in the team who were not kicked out were given a bread and a bowl of vegetables.

After noon, it became serious, and dozens of people joined in.

They didn't bring shovels, but they did all the work of moving the soil.

It’s really only one month. In mid-April, when the grass is luxuriant, the team that dug more and more workers was disbanded. A river ditch with a depth of two or three meters also went south from the north of Huoliang City, passing through the territory of Huoliang. It goes straight to the gate of Qingmo River outside Jiping City.

It took another half a month to build a new steel gate here to the north.

Because there is a salary for the next half month, fifteen yuan a day, it is easy to recruit [-] capable and strong people.

The required steel and building materials were prepared more than a month ago, and Zongche specially recruited talents who know how to control the river from the city. This simple gate was also built in a very short period of time.

In May, when An Xu went to the city to discuss business again, the canal outside the city was sparkling with water.

The water is brought in, and some willow trees are planted on the bank. The climate here is also suitable.

An Xu has been busy since mid-to-late March. When the spring breeze with warm water vapor from the south arrives, businessmen from the Western Regions come to Huoliang City in wave after wave like leeks in spring.

The sales of her wool and nylon socks increased instantly, and she would go to the city almost every few days, either to discuss business or to visit the sock factory.

After the beginning of spring, the Fang family also set up a canning shop in Huoliang City. In this canning shop, they also opened a candy counter, selling Fang's candies exclusively.

This counter is a business negotiated between An Dabert and Fang's family. They sell Anjia candies here, and they can take [-]% of the profit, so that An Xu and An Chong can eat all kinds of candies anytime, anywhere.

Today, after An Xu entered the city, he first went to the Invention Building in the city to negotiate business with a few businessmen from the Western Regions who had been waiting there, and then went to Fang's canned food shop on the next street.

The cannery was full of people, but half of the people came to buy sugar.

In the northern border, sugar and wild honey are the same price, very expensive, the price of Anjia's candy is not low, and it is relatively cheap here.

Not to mention, they also have cheaper white sugar.

The shopkeeper of the canning shop sent away another wave of customers who came to weigh the sugar. Seeing An Xu approaching, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Mrs. Zong, you are here to discuss business again. Coincidentally, we just came to the shop yesterday. When you come back from transporting sugar, the An family brought you a large basket of lychees and white apricots."

There is also a reason why the Fang family wants [-]% of the profit. The An family's sugar needs to be transported by their caravan.

Although the shipping fee will be paid, the risk is theirs to bear.

On the other hand, if An's family can transport it by themselves, why not just open a store here by themselves, so why let Fang's family take another floor?
An Xu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The shopkeeper led them to the backyard and said, "What's the matter, just drop in, not to mention we are making money."

In the backyard, a basket of lychees covered with green leaves and a small basket of white apricots were placed on the stone table. The shopkeeper said: "I also said that if it is not convenient for you to enter the city today, you can ask someone to send it outside the city."

An Xu removed the green leaves from the lychees, and a cool air wafted from below.

This is their unique method of preserving lychees, but after all the journey is far away, the lychees have changed color, and there are half baskets of red bayberry separated by bamboo under the lychees.

An Xu likes to eat lychee bayberry drink the most. It has a strong taste of bayberry, and the taste of lychee is not very fresh, but he can bear it.

The white apricot next to it is very fresh, and the strong fragrance floats half the yard.
