Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 1162 Gunpowder Usage (2)
The husband and wife always had a lot of topics to talk about and chatted until it got dark. Then Chunyu Wen rode away. Before leaving, Qingli walked to the gate and watched him ride away, standing there for a long time , staring quietly until his back completely merged into the night.

"Miss, let's go back, wash up early."

Nanny Yu stood on tiptoe and poked her head out from behind the tree. Seeing that Chunyu Wen had gone far away, she walked out slowly. The warehouse was in her charge. When something like this happened a few days ago, she was always worried, afraid that Chunyu Wen would go away. To settle accounts with her, Nanny Yu thinks she has old arms and legs, so there is no life in throwing it out.

A lantern was already hung on the tree, just to illuminate the path back, the evening breeze was blowing softly, Qingli closed her eyes, relying on perception, she walked back to the main courtyard along the way.

Wen's side understands that the husband and wife have not seen each other for a long time, so they let Shiliu come over to pass the message, so that Qingli can rest early without having to go there.Usually, after dark, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would chat for a while, but today Wen Shi spared her the morning and evening, and Qingli suddenly didn't know what to do.

Having nothing to do, he took out the account books in the shop to check, but he was thinking about where the second sister Qing Qiang and her party had gone. If they didn't delay too long on the road, they should have returned to the capital.Since the eldest brother left last time, there has been no letter, and he doesn't know how the matter is resolved.Next month, when her family's ship goes out to sea for the first time, Qingli feels the need to go to offer incense, praying that things will go well.

"Miss, these account book slaves come here."

Malt is in charge of Qingli's account books, and she hardly spends anything on weekdays, so she can't use the skills she has learned, scratching her ears and cheeks, and rubbing her hands constantly.

"Someone really took the initiative to take the job."

Nanny Yu curled her lips, and the lady would go to bed later, and carrying water was a physical job, and it was obvious that Mai Ya was being lazy when she proposed to sort out the books at this time, and Nanny Yu squinted, with a sarcastic expression on her face.

"Nurse Yu, don't worry, I will carry Miss's bath water with Mai Dong in a while."

Seeing that Mammy spoke in a strange way, Mai Ya rolled her eyes.The two have worked together for a few years, and she understands Nanny Yu's temperament very well. She doesn't care about big things, doesn't give in to small things, and is a little narrow-minded.

"You settle the accounts for the miss."

Being exposed by Mai Ya in public, Mammy Yu coughed a few times awkwardly and slightly in embarrassment, muttering to herself, this Mai Ya is careless and has always been careless. Now that she has been with the young lady for a long time, she has also learned the ability to observe words and emotions.

Qingli turned a deaf ear to some small fights between the maids and mother-in-law, and turned a blind eye. Everyone has their own interests, so a little friction is harmless.

Passing one of the ledgers to Malt, Qing Li glanced at the income of the brewery. It hasn't been long since the brewery has been in operation. Improving yang and beauty medicinal wine have been used as gimmicks, and they have been fooled out by the mouth of Fatty Wang San. Now there are many old ladies After paying the deposit, you are waiting to enjoy the medicinal wine soaked in precious medicinal materials.

Medicinal wine is very expensive, a small pot costs a hundred taels of silver, which seems to be a sky-high price, but in fact, if there is someone who knows the goods, they will find it very fair, because all the medicinal materials they use are the best. , and there may not be such a product, it is worth the money.

It didn't take long before it was time for the grain harvest.In the first year, God didn’t give her face. Several ideas that Qingli wanted to try were unsuccessful. There would be a large-scale reduction in the production of rice and wheat in the Northland.

Although Mr. Zhao has already mentioned that there is not enough food in the Northland, it can be sold from other cities. At most, there will be more errand fees on the road. The price will definitely not be outrageous, but after several times of skyrocketing, the people do not believe the government's rhetoric very much. Some people are starting to stockpile food, and some have a little bit of money and are still waiting and watching.

The grain store run by the family has been doing well, and the extra peanuts, red beans, mung beans, etc. in the space have been exchanged for silver.Before, some of the useless antique vases in Mr. Chen's family property were traded with Bliss Villa in exchange for food and grass needed by the soldiers. Qingli was not worried about military supplies.

The family farm has been baptized by chicken plague and caused a lot of losses. Fortunately, the wounded soldiers have mastered the trick and it is easier to manage now.Some soldiers who were not seriously injured heard that the price of roe deer was very high, and the masters of the rich families in Pingyang City especially admired it, so they ran to the nearby hills to hunt. They wanted to breed them, and worked hard to catch roe deer alive.

It is a good idea to raise wild game in the mountains, and Qingli is very supportive, which shows that the vision and thinking of the wounded soldiers are changing, and they are developing in a good direction.

After the Hungry Ghost Festival, Qing Li obviously found that the climate in the North has undergone new changes. The weather began to turn cold in the morning and evening. When I greeted Wen in the morning, the sun had just risen, and the flowers and plants in the yard were still a little morning dew .

In the past in Kyoto, I heard that ladies who pay attention to others often send maids to take porcelain bowls to catch the morning dew when the sky is getting dark, and use the dew on the green leaves to make tea, which has a fresh grassy smell. , with a light floral fragrance in the tea.

Qingli is very sensitive to smells, she didn't think there was any difference, on the contrary, she didn't like those ladies who worked so hard for the dew, and thought they were hypocritical.The dew is a little sweeter, but the water in the well is the same. There is no pollution in this era, and she feels that all the water has a faint sweetness.

Today is the eighteenth day of July, and it was also the day when Qingli made an appointment to go out of customs. She had breakfast with Wen Shi, and after the meal, she changed into her riding attire, and took Mai Dong with her, riding the horse along the way.In the early morning, there are not many people on the street. The horseshoes step on the quaint bluestone road, making a crisp sound. The smoke from the houses on both sides is curling up. Occasionally, you can hear the barking of dogs and the laughter of children. Voice.

When Qingli appeared, the soldiers immediately opened the city gate to leave the customs, and they also wanted to tell them that the young lady was long and the young lady was short. Qingli listened to the words in her heart, and would also take the initiative to chat with the soldiers and ask the nearest The war, the food, and the difficulties they encountered.

Now that the military supplies are sufficient, the soldiers no longer worry about food, and they can eat their fill every day. There is a special warm-up team in the North, and the family does not have to worry about lack of food and clothing. This is enough for them. Everyone is a grateful person. Qingli did a small thing, and they remembered it deeply in their hearts.

After crossing the big river and walking for a while, I saw neatly arranged tents in the distance. The soldiers had already spotted Qingli's figure, and a patrolling team raised their arms and shouted loudly with joy on their faces. , "Young lady! Young lady is here!"

"The soldiers have worked hard!"

With a soft smile on Qingli's face, she blinked her long eyelashes, dodged, turned over from the horse with a neat movement, and waved to the soldiers.

"We don't have to work hard, young lady, the major general has just had breakfast, and we will watch over it for you!"
