Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Knowing that they couldn't look directly at the lamp, everyone turned their attention to Xu Yue and asked excitedly:
"Is this the fetish that the leader just asked for?"

Xu Yue smiled and said nothing, and everyone took her as acquiescing, and they were even more in awe.

There were a lot of footsteps around, Xu Yue didn't want to cause a commotion, so she asked Sun Ashan and others to lead people to block the Xingfu community first, so as not to affect other residents.

She is not afraid that the people will know the existence of electric lights, but that everyone will rush towards the house and cause trouble.

Sun Ashan took the lead, greeted the colleagues in the upper courtyard who were reluctant to leave, and quickly arranged the blockade.

Afterwards, the group returned to the courtyard of the Xu family, braving the cold November wind, and forced themselves to watch the lamp all night.

The light battery is relatively durable, so Xu Yue turned it on all night, and it didn't completely dim until ten o'clock the next morning.

After careful calculation, it can last for fourteen hours on a single charge.

Sun Ashan and the others left long ago, after all they still had to go to work.

Besides, the light bulb can't see the flowers, and the only thing they care about is whether they have any hope of using this guy called the electric light.

Xu Yue shook her head regretfully, "It's not possible to popularize it, at most it can only be used during major festivals or important junctures."

Light bulbs have a lifespan, solar panels have a shelf life, and these things have to be handled with care.

If it breaks, Xu Yue will be in pain for a long time.

However, the news that the lights in the Xingfu community were on all night still unknowingly spread throughout the city.

I don't know who started it. The light test, which was originally normal, turned into a miracle when it reached Xu Yue's ears.

Xu Yue smiled and let it go.

As the weather gets colder, cotton has become the most popular winter item, and the price has also risen accordingly.

Fortunately, Xu Jiajun discovered it in time and stepped in to control it in time. The prices of scarce winter materials such as cotton and coal soon fell back to a more normal level.

Seeing that the northern capital was on the right track, when the twelfth lunar month came, Xu Yue and Xu Dalang, with their twins and Ma family siblings, rushed to Hejian County, Jizhou, before the heavy snow closed the mountains.

It was already the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there were only ten days before the Chinese New Year.

Xu Yue and his party entered the city in two ways, and the vanguard arrived yesterday evening with the new supplies exchanged by Xu Yue ahead of schedule.

Because Xu Yue walked all the way and patrolled all the way, she was a little late for a day.

The Ma family siblings have been sent to the city ahead of time to join Mrs. Ma.

When Kingfisher passed by his hometown, he also went home with the task of inspecting instead of the leader.

Xu Yue and Xu Dalang walked at the end with their twins, four uncles and nephews in a carriage, plus two Buquying guards, and they drove towards Hejian County at a leisurely pace.

This land has changed.

The end of the new year is approaching, and the roads are full of travelers rushing home.

Among them, the caravans were the most, and some of them brought novel goods from Youzhou to the south.

Some heard that the business in Xujiajun was doing well here, and that the war had stopped, so they brought special products from their hometown, planning to go to Jizhou to earn a wave of New Year's money so that their relatives could have a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

There are also villagers near the outskirts of the city, carrying burdens full of chickens and ducks, and go to the city to sell in groups, exchange for a few newly distributed Xujia coins, and buy some new things to take home.

Jizhou is adjacent to Youzhou, and all kinds of novelty goods flow into Jizhou from Youzhou market. The shops in the city are full of shops, which makes the local people dazzled.

As soon as Xu Yue and his sister's carriage drove into the outskirts of Hejian County, they saw many sheds along the way.

These sheds are leaning against the junction of the newly repaired cement roads. Some sell hot tea, and some sell steamed buns, steamed buns, and cakes. Every business is good.

These sheds were built by nearby residents who rented open space on the side of the road. They are basically based on the family unit. The wife collects cash and cleans, and the husband makes and sells them. With this business on the road, they can also support the whole family.

The most enviable thing is that those peasant households who originally lived on the roadside, the road has been repaired to the door, and there is a large flow of people entering and leaving the city. They can add anything to sell at the door of the house, and they can also earn money.

When the carriage reached the gate of the city, there were more stalls of all kinds.

Many merchant owners were waiting here. When they saw a farmer bring fresh chickens and ducks, they all surrounded them, and snatched all the chickens and ducks they wanted to sell in a few strokes.

They bought them together at a price slightly lower than the market in the city, and when they transferred them to the market in the city, they could earn dozens or hundreds of coins.

"Little duck!" Xu Dongbei, who was lying by the window, suddenly pointed to the roadside stall and shouted.

Xu Dalang laughed and drove the carriage over.

This is a stall specializing in the sale of straw woven objects. Various small animals and dustpan vegetable baskets woven with straw and bamboo slices are placed on the entire table, and some are dyed, which looks extra fresh.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, no matter whether they are rich or not, for the sake of happiness, they will basically not refuse the children's request to buy toys.

After all, throughout the year, it is rare to make a child happy once.

"Boss, how do you sell this little yellow duck made of straw?" Xu Yue leaned out of the window and asked with a smile.

The vendor caught a glimpse of the two Xu family soldiers riding behind the carriage, and knew that the identity of the person in the carriage was not simple, but he never thought that he would be the leader whom his parents cherish every day. He said courteously:

"One for two dollars, two for three dollars, whatever you choose!"

As he said, he used a straw hat to pick up one of the small animals on the table and held them under the carriage window, coaxing Xu Dongbei, who made his eyes shine, to choose by himself.

Xu Dongbei was very happy, but he didn't move. Instead, he glanced at his aunt first, saw her nodding, and then picked up two.

One is a little yellow duck and the other is a puppy.

The two little things are no more than half the size of a child's palm, and they are miniature and delicate, Xu Yue is a little moved.

But she is no longer a child, just look at it.

Xu Yue turned her head and asked Xu Pingyuan who was reading a picture book under the blanket, "Does Pingyuan want to buy two?"

The little girl didn't raise her head, "No."

She is not as childish as her brother~
Xu Yue shrugged, took out a steel coin with the number 5 printed on it, and handed it to the vendor.

The peddler found two smaller and thinner steel coins with the number 1 printed on them and handed them to Xu Yue.

"Looking for two small coins for you, guest, can you see if you want to buy anything else? Dustpans and baskets are all useful!"

Hawkers don't forget to promote their other products.

Xu Yue shook her head, pulled Xu Dongbei, who was playing with the puppy and the little yellow duck, to sit down, and put down the car curtain.

The hawker was not disappointed either, he cheerfully said hello, come back next time, and went back to greet other guests.

"Auntie, show me!" Xu Dongbei suddenly became interested in the steel coin in his aunt's hand, and stretched out his chubby little hand to drill into the center of her hand.

"Do you understand?" Xu Yue spread her hand and let the little guy take away two coins.

Xu Dongbei let out a triumphant "ang" and held up the silver-white coin and said, "Two small coins!"

Xu Yue asked him: "Aside from a small coin, what else is there?"
