Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

Chapter 60 Exchange Starts with Helping Farmers

In the long white clouds, there is smoke from cooking in the morning.

A large pot of corn porridge was boiled sweet by Cao Zhengxiang, and even thickened with cornstarch. It was soft and glutinous, and fragrant.

It may be that everyone has a premonition that there will be delicious food this morning, and the staff is very full.

"So, didn't you eat corn in the morning? Can you still drink a big pot?"

Holding the big bowl, Li Tieniu didn't pay attention to Zhao Taiji's teasing, and drank it snortingly, not forgetting to take a salty cucumber by the way.

Seriously, from the point of view of men, people like Zhao Taiji deserve to starve to death. Do you still need to ask such stupid questions?
Eating at home is eating at home, so is it the same as eating in the government office for free?

It's totally two different things, some people don't eat it, they are pure fools.

Seeing that Li Tieniu ignored him, Zhao Taiji curled his lips, took out the gourd on his waist, took a sip of wine and said, "A jug of wine in autumn is enough to comfort the wind and dust. I think that when I was galloping on the battlefield in Yanyun, I took a sip of wine. Killing one person, I drank three full tanks!"

"Really?" The black-faced shofar-braided girl looked at him from the side: "You used to be a general?"

Zhao Taiji touched his thin beard stubble, his eyes lit up, finally he had an audience, he had to show it.

After receiving the wine gourd, he looked serious: "Of course! Have you heard of Yanyun Sixteen States?"

"No."

"Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I was there back then, but I was quite powerful. I am stronger than the general!"

After hearing this, Gu Sanyue sized up Zhao Taiji, and then picked up a bowl of corn porridge: "Fortunately, I am also a general, um... the reincarnated one, since I was one in my previous life, I will definitely be one in the future, so the two of us The seniority is about the same, so it’s okay to call you Big Brother Zhao.”

"Okay!" Zhao Taiji got up with a solemn expression, and he couldn't tell that he was teasing the children: "Little sister Gu, today I respect you for my brother, the so-called heroes cherish heroes!"

Gu Sanyue also stood up, as if deeply involved in the drama: "Brother Zhao, please!"

After the two finished talking, one drank and the other drank porridge.

I feel very satisfied.

Xin Fan looked a little envious, but then he felt something was wrong.

He patted Zhao Taiji on the shoulder: "Then why don't you become a general now? The general is much more prestigious than not being arrested?"

Zhao Taiji was quite happy at first, but when someone suddenly disrupted the stage, he immediately felt uncomfortable.

"You know what a fart, what a hero cares about is being at ease. Who am I, Zhao Taiji? Go to the battlefield if you want to, and don't fight those meaningless battles if you don't want to. It's not easy for anyone to come. This is the demeanor of a superior man, understand ?"

Xin Fan glanced at it, then sighed: "To put it bluntly, deserters."

"Get lost!" Zhao Taiji was annoyed.

Xin Fan grinned, and ran away with a smile.

Shen Mu looked at Zhao Taiji and felt admiration in his heart. To be honest, to be able to play with these two children, and even call them brothers and sisters with a serious face, talking nonsense, ordinary people definitely can't do it.

At least Shen Mu couldn't do it by himself.

Glancing at Song Yizhi who was silently drinking porridge in the gazebo behind him, Shen Mu said: "Miss Song, we may be going out of the city today, if you feel bored, you can go out with us for a walk."

Song Yizhi raised his eyes slightly, his beautiful eyes were full of doubts: "Are you going on a long trip?"

"Oh, no, I have to go to the letter post station of the Zongmen at the foot of the mountain. There is no one in Fengjiang County. You have to go to the 'Guan Dao Pavilion' outside the city."

"Are you coming back late?"

Shen Mu nodded: "Almost, if it's too late, maybe Lao Cao won't have time to cook."

"I'll go with you." Song Yizhi got up slowly, and went back to the room to change clothes.

Cao Zhengxiang was slightly surprised, but Song Yizhi, who had always been aloof, agreed: "My lord, could it be that you are already going straight to Huanglong?"

Shen Mu has black lines on his face, this old man is very bad, he is a naughty Huanglong.

Last time I said that she looks good with a blushing face, she was almost surrounded by sword energy, and even received some 'psychological counseling'.

In his opinion, the reason why he is willing to follow is probably because a person has nothing to eat at home. Although it is boring to follow them, at least they can eat delicious food when it is time to eat.

Foodies are like this.

...

...

Guandao Pavilion is not far from Fengjiang County.

It is not a town, but a post station on the official road of Dali.

In addition to the checkpoints set up here by the military, there are also large messenger formations and message transmission hubs established by some sects.

According to Shen Mu's previous life, it was like the Yamashita office of a certain sect.

The weather outside the city was not bad, and it was the first time for Shen Mu to officially leave the city.

Although the place to go is not too far away, except for the moment when the city gate was closed, I was still somewhat nervous.

However, feeling that there are still roots of the pagoda tree ancestral tree outside the city and above the sky, and the white clouds in Wenjiang's ancestral hall, I feel more confident.

Li Tieniu drove the ox cart, walking unhurriedly.

Apart from the official roads going in different directions outside Fengjiang City, the rest are barren hills and fields, and there is no water system at present, otherwise there would not be no crops harvested in previous years.

[Map: The home farmland is lit up! 】

[Hint: Helping farmers can trigger a reward mechanism (store)]

[Hint: Increase the types of home crops (0/5)]

[Help farmers complete five types, and get an item exchange]

Shen Mu glanced at the information prompt in his mind.

In fact, the store function of the home system has existed for a long time, but the items in it are not yet available.

Looking at it now, it should be necessary to complete related tasks in order to trigger the opening of a category of items.

"Old Cao, what were these fields planted before?"

Before Cao Zhengxiang could say anything.

Xin Fan, who followed the ox cart and rushed over, rushed to the side: "This is a barren field. In the past, rice and corn were planted, but the harvest was mediocre, and no one planted it anymore."

Shen Mu was a little puzzled: "If the soil quality improves and the harvest is good, you should be able to come back to plant it, right? You can make some money by selling the uneatable ones."

Xin Fan jumped onto the bullock cart with a stride.

Sitting next to Gu Sanyue, she looked back at Shen Mu, pouted: "What did the county magistrate do, why don't you know anything? No one buys the grain grown in Fengjiang."

"No one bought it? Why?"

"Why else, it doesn't taste good. It's also rice, and the ones from other counties are delicious, but the ones grown in the borderlands are not good, and they don't necessarily grow well."

Shen Mu blinked, then looked at Cao Zhengxiang.

Cao Zhengxiang nodded repeatedly, unable to deny it.

"My lord, what this kid said is good, it's basically like this."

Xin Fan gnawed the wild fruit that Li Tieniu gave him, grinned sourly, then sucked in sour breath, and said in disbelief:
"But my father said before that it was the nonsense of other counties to suppress us. Why is the food grown in Fengjiang not delicious? The rice that my father planted in my small courtyard was delicious. ! Don’t lie to you, every single grain can shine!”

"Damn, hahaha, bragging is great, why don't you say that your family can grow gold." Zhao Taiji smiled with a rusty long knife on his back.

Xin Fan squinted at Zhao Taiji: "Who said I lied, it's true! My father is gone, so I didn't grow any more, and neither did my mother and I, otherwise I would be able to eat every year."

Everyone watched and listened to Xin Fan, all smiled and ignored.

The bickering between the two of them has become a habit.

It's just that there was a trace of strangeness in Shen Mu's eyes.

"Really...can glow?"

Xin Fan nodded: "Really, I still have a small bag of seeds at home, but I don't know how to plant them."

"I bought it."

"Well... Then I have to go back and ask my mother how much it is."

After Xin Fan finished speaking, he thought to himself, what his father left behind, he had lost a slingshot.

That small bag of seeds must be sold for a good price.
