Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

In the vegetable shop, seven people were sitting upright in front of a wooden table. The woman at the head had a look of reluctance on her face. Five of the six people next to her had their mouths closed and did not speak. The atmosphere was tense and solemn.

"Have you decided?" Liu Qingcao asked for a long time.

Liu Xiao glanced at the others, and then answered in a muffled voice.

"Girl, if we can survive, we will definitely come back here and follow the girl safely."

Liu Wu secretly raised his eyes to look at Liu Qingcao's face, his bright eyes filled with mist.

She knew that after this farewell, she might never see Liu Qingcao again, and never have the chance to return to this place.

Liu Qingcao was silent for a moment and exhaled a long breath.

She had agreed to this when she bought the six of them, and they had also helped her make a lot of money, so they didn't lose money no matter what.

"When are you leaving?" Liu Qingcao tightened the tea cup in her hand, and then let it go in relief. Facing the gazes of the six people, she raised her eyes and asked calmly.

Liu Xiao felt sorry for Liu Qingcao and found it difficult to open his mouth, but this matter was not their choice.

"Leave immediately, don't miss me, girl."

Liu Qingcao was stunned.

So fast?
Could it be that they had planned to leave for a long time, but she never came back, so they delayed it until now?
Thinking of this, Liu Qingcao helplessly reached out and pulled the basket covered with cloth.

Originally there were some fruits inside, but now it seems that they need to be covered up and replaced with something more useful.

The time spent with the six people was not long, but Liu Qingcao still hoped that they could come back alive.

Most of the fruits in the basket were replaced, which was her biggest step back.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of taking out the things in the space, she would have really wanted to fill the basket with life-saving supplies.

It's just that most of the basket is a lot, evenly divided among six people. If used well, it can completely save their lives.

"Liu Xiao, the things in the basket were originally intended to be distributed to you and the people in the village. Since you are going to fight for your life now, I will leave them all to you. I hope you can come back safely."

Liu Xiao stared at the basket at Liu Qingcao's hand. The refreshing fruity aroma came from it. Even if he didn't see the contents, he knew it was filled with good things.

"Girl, this thing is too valuable, we can't accept it." Although Liu Xiao was moved, he still refused rationally.

The things inside are given to the villagers in the town and village. How can they take them?

Regardless of Liu Xiao's words, Liu Qingcao opened the cloth and took out the contents one by one.

"These are the fruits I bought on my way back, two of you each."

There are twelve strawberry fruits on the table, all of them are brightly colored and tender, like crystal clear rubies, exuding a faint and pleasant aroma.

Liu Wuhong stared at her eyes, swallowed her saliva, and struggled to control the greed in her stomach.

Liu Qingcao didn't wait for their answer, and took out three small porcelain bottles and a large oil paper bag.

"Here are life-saving pills and powder. You can take advantage of them. They may be able to save your life when you are in danger."

The pills in the porcelain bottle are mixed with spiritual springs and some elixirs. There is no problem at all as life-saving pills.

The drug is of the highest quality, and it will be more effective for assassins with martial arts skills.

After listening to Liu Qingcao's words, the six people were very moved and ashamed.

"Girl, the six of us will never forget your kindness." Liu Xiao stood up and clasped his fists, bowing solemnly towards Liu Qingcao.

After saying this, Liu Er and the other five people also stood up and clasped their fists.

"Girl's kindness, we will never forget it."

Liu Qingcao waved his hand, suppressing the disappointment in his heart, and took out a stack of banknotes, "I know you don't have much money left on you, so these two hundred taels of silver will be lent to the six of you. Remember to come back to work as soon as possible to pay me back." .”

Liu Xiao and others were stunned for a moment, then lowered their heads and answered.

"Yes, girl."

"Go down and get ready. Come back early." Liu Qingcao waved his hand, got up from the stool and walked out the door.

She wanted to see her off, but parting was always sad. She had helped everyone she needed to help, and there was nothing else she could do. There were still people behind her who needed her protection, and she couldn't take risks with them.

After leaving the vegetable shop, Liu Qingcao found Zhou Xiuyun and Pan Yong and asked them to find a few people to take Liu Xiao's place as soon as possible.

The next day, at the gate of the new county town, Liu Qingcao looked back at the shop in the distance and reluctantly sat back in the carriage.

Liu Xiao looked at the carriage going away, silently retracted his gaze and chased in the opposite direction.

"Brother, is the girl gone?" Liu Wu pursed his lips and asked after a while.

Liu Xiao made a muffled "hmm" without even raising his head.

The person they want to assassinate this time has a high status, and there will naturally be many masters around him. If they want to get close to that person, they must make arrangements in advance.

The drug Liu Qingcao gave them, they found wild animals and tried it twice that night. The effect was very good. If they could catch it by surprise, those experts would lose most of it.

But people who practice martial arts are extremely vigilant. How can they be easily tricked?

Liu Liu leaned against the tree trunk with his arms folded, looking at the yellow leaves on the treetops with a cold face, his eyebrows straightened, and his breathing a little faster.

"Brother, the girl is right, now is not the time." Qing Lingling's voice rang in everyone's ears, and Liu Xiao and others frowned and raised their eyes.

This time they got news that the man had secretly ordered from the capital to secretly patrol Suizhou. The purpose was unclear, but judging from the number of secret guards they learned, it was definitely not a small errand.

If they don't take action this time, it will be difficult for them to find another chance when they return to the capital from Juzhou.

The danger this time is huge, and the chance of a successful assassination is slim.

Liu Xiao's eyes dimmed and he looked away from Liu Liu, his voice cold and decisive.

"Let's go over there and wait, and then we'll make plans."

Liu Liu nodded and said nothing. She knew this was his last concession.

Beijing.

The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, leaving no leaves behind.

In a secret side hall of the palace, three people sat across from each other in front of a stone table. They drank all the wine in their glasses and filled another cup with a pot. Their faces were full of sorrow and there was no trace of joy.

"Shiyuan, don't drink anymore." The man held down the hand holding the cup, his voice filled with anger and admonishment.

The man looked at the speaker bitterly and put down the cup in his hand helplessly.

"Uncle, what should we do now?" Luo Shiyuan stood up angrily, full of resentment.

Ever since he came back, the Queen Mother has confined him in this side hall, and there is no way he can get out. If their brother-in-law hadn't been unable to do so, he might not even have anyone to talk to, let alone have a meal. Full of food.

"Just wait and see what happens."

"Brother-in-law, aren't you?" Luo Shiyuan said mid-sentence and sat down angrily, "Aren't you just letting them do whatever they want? Yesterday, I heard someone said that the emperor was preparing to go to war with foreigners in winter. To start a war, money would be needed, and the national treasury would There is not much silver, and they have already collected it from the people again."

"If you don't stop it, if this war breaks out, the people will still suffer!"

"I've tried to persuade you before, but it's useless."

Luo Shiyuan choked and lost his energy instantly.

Yes, my uncle had gone to the palace to persuade him on the day he returned to Beijing, but that person was determined to have his own way and had no intention of taking back his life.

Now they are surrounded by many Forbidden troops, and it is not easy to get out, not to mention that they cannot walk around at this time.

"Prince Cheng, Prince of Shu County, and Young Lord, the time has come. Please visit us another day." An old eunuch walked up to the three of them with a whisk, and spoke in a soft voice to welcome them. There was a bit of arrogance and pride in his voice, and he finally looked respectful.

Luo Shiyuan's face suddenly darkened, and he clenched his fists with his fingers, preparing to teach the eunuch a lesson.

"The time has come, it's time to leave." A faint voice sounded from the man's mouth. Luo Shiyuan reluctantly swallowed back the words and followed the people towards the vermilion gate.

When he reached the gate, Luo Shiyuan stopped and stopped moving forward. This was the place where he was forbidden to go. If he crossed over, he would be disobeying the queen's order. He could not disobey the queen. …

Qianfeng Town.

Ruyi Building.

Liu Qingcao and Ge Hongshan were sitting in a private room. The private room was furnished as usual. Although it was winter, the temperature was not low. The potted plants in the room were full of green, which was far different from the snowy outside. They seemed to be in different places. place.

"Qingcao, I heard that a group of people were arrested in the village yesterday. They were all dressed in tattered black clothes. They didn't look good." Ge Hongshan paused and thought of something again. He always felt that it had something to do with them. .

"When this group of people were caught, they were all skinny and skinny. They were somewhat similar to the bandits Wan Li mentioned a few days ago. I don't know if they were."

Liu Qingcao frowned, with a pair of round eyes full of doubts.

In this remote place, there will be bandits who are worried about it?
wrong!

Liu Qingcao immediately realized that the bandit was probably coming to Shihe Village.

But, why are these bandits so embarrassed?
Liu Qingcao's heart was pounding, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.

"Uncle Ge, all the money Ruyi will earn in the future will be used to stockpile goods. Once any bad news comes out, Ruyi Building will be closed immediately." Liu Qingcao made a calculation and made a quick judgment.

She still remembered the sudden disaster in her distant memory.

Originally, people had time to react, but people with good intentions suppressed the matter again and again. When they finally couldn't resist it, disaster swept the world in an instant.

Memories of her death came flooding back, forcing her to think more.

Ge Hongshan didn't know why, but he nodded and wrote it down.

Part of the money earned by Ruyilou in the past few months was used for expenses in Shihe Village, and the rest was kept in the accounting room.

"Qingcao, I'll get the remaining money." After saying that, Ge Hongshan stood up and walked to the closet.

A ledger and a bulging money bag rested on his palm.

"Qingcao, there are not many diners going to Ruyilou to eat and drink in this March. The total money earned is 650 taels. Village Chief Jiang brought back 200 taels for the expenses of the children in the village. Here are the remaining 450 taels. Two silver coins."

Liu Qingcao found it strange that the food in the restaurant had not added new dishes for a long time. Except for some wealthy families, the rest were ordinary people who came here to eat and drink. They didn't have much money, so they would always come to the restaurant to spend money. Money satisfies one's appetite.

This month, the imperial court has imposed another tax collection, and I am afraid there will be fewer diners entering Ruyi Building in the future.

Even if two new dishes are introduced at this juncture, it will not have much effect. After all, the general environment is not good.

"Uncle Ge, leave a hundred taels to go to the medical center to buy more herbs and charcoal for treating illnesses. The snow is falling so fast, I guess this winter will be difficult."

Liu Qingcao explained one by one that the road was blocked due to heavy snow and it was not easy to make a trip. It was better to make arrangements in advance.

Liu Qingcao finally explained some more, and then hurriedly left from Ruyi Building.

It was icy and snowy outside, with few pedestrians. The wheels of the carriage were stuck in the snow, the horse hair was wrapped in grains of white snow, and the black horse turned into a white horse at some point.

"Junfeng, return to Shihe Village."

Liu Qingcao stepped on the foot-thick snow and climbed onto the carriage. Under Ge Hongshan's worried eyes, she walked into the snow-covered white snow.

The snow was so heavy that it felt like falling into an ice cellar overnight, and razor-like winds hit from all directions, causing pedestrians to squint and fall over, unable to discern their direction.

Last night before dark, I felt a sudden cold. I don't know when the snow started to fall.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the snow on the ground was much thicker. Junfeng pulled the carriage forward with great difficulty. Liu Qingcao had no choice but to put away the carriage in a secret place where no one was around, put on a raincoat and rode on the horse. Walk to Shihe Village.

When passing by houses in nearby villages, you can see villagers looking sad and tapping the roofs with bamboo poles or brooms.

The snow fell suddenly, and many people were not prepared. If it snowed heavily for several days in a row, people might not be able to walk along this road, let alone go to the town to buy food.

An hour and a half later, Liu Qingcao finally saw the snow-white houses in Shihe Village. Although there was only a vast expanse of white left, she would not admit her mistake.

After walking forward for a quarter of an hour, Liu Qingcao used the cover of trees to move the carriage out of the space.

The carriage was still as it was when it was retracted into the space, and the snow on it had not melted at all, saving her time to catch the snow.

The things in the carriage are all necessary necessities. There is no shortage of cotton clothes in the village, and there is no shortage of rice and noodles. Therefore, except for oil, salt and seasonings, the rest of the carriage is all seafood.

Originally I planned to put half lard and half vegetable oil, but after thinking about it, I finally put all lard.

In this era, the yield of rapeseed is not high, and planting rapeseed will affect the next year's rice harvest, so few people grow rapeseed in the fields.

Vegetable oil and sesame oil are oils that only wealthy people are willing to eat more. Ordinary people eat more lard, which is more satiating.

There is more and more vegetable oil in the space, but it is not the time to take it out. Let’s wait.

When she first came here, she had already shown many differences. Now she was not short of money.

Junfeng walked slowly in the snow, leaving several long ravines on the thick snow.

In Shihe Village, every household has its door closed, leaving only half-open windows open to the wind, and voices inside can be vaguely heard.

Liu Qingcao did not disturb the villagers and drove the carriage into Baijia Private School alone. Zhao Cheng in the pavilion at the entrance was not here today. He must have been unable to bear the cold winter weather.

The private school was also very quiet. Today was supposed to be school day, but no one was in the lecture hall. It seemed that the snowstorm had a serious impact, so Jiang Dayin gave the students a holiday.

This weather is not suitable for teaching, and students are too cold to study. Some students will take the provincial examination after next spring. I really hope that the wind and snow can pass soon and not affect the imperial examination.

Liu Qingcao drove the carriage outside the kitchen, where a cook was cooking dinner. Liu Yulan was busy with the pot. From the corner of her eye, she saw Liu Qingcao standing outside the door, happily handing the spatula in her hand to the woman next to her.

"Qingcao, you're finally back." Liu Yulan trotted up to Liu Qingcao, wanting to reach out and hold her hand, but then pulled back. She was so excited that her face turned red like a little girl.

Liu Qingcao nodded with a warm smile, looked at the familiar villagers behind her, and the smile on her face became thicker.

"Is everyone okay?"

"Qingcao, we are all fine, but we are a little worried about you. You have been out as a little girl for such a long time, and the county has not received any news from you. Everyone has been worried these days." Liu Yulan was both happy and worried. of opening.

Liu Qingcao knew they would be worried, so she hurried back.

She encountered too many things on the road, and she was afraid that someone would notice her, so she didn't let anyone send a message back.

Fortunately, she didn't send them a message. She was not in a good situation all the way back. In addition to encountering several waves of bandits and robberies, she also encountered a dozen men in black following her.

There were too many people offended on the road, and she didn't know which force this group of people offended, but she was very sure that the masters behind them were not good people.

The road back went round and round, but we didn't get rid of the people. There were so many pedestrians on the road, and in the end we had no choice but to lead the people into the mountains and deal with them.

"If I go out next time, I will tell everyone that I am safe, so that everyone will not be worried again." Liu Qingcao promised.

Liu Yulan nodded with relief. Although Liu Qingcao was their boss, they already regarded her as their relative. Naturally, they did not want to see anything happen to her.

"As long as it's okay, that's okay." Liu Yulan smiled with crooked eyebrows.

Liu Qingcao thought of the things in the carriage and hurriedly asked a few people to follow them to move everything out of the carriage.

The large amount of oil and salt made Liu Yulan and others' eyes red. When they went out in the morning and saw a foot of snow, she felt something was wrong. She quickly stopped Jiang Dayin and asked him to tell her elder brother to buy more oil and salt.

Who knew that the snow was falling so heavily that many people were worried, and most of them were thinking of hoarding. Jiang Dafu didn't get much when he went to the grocery store and relied on friendship.

With so much oil and salt, it is not a problem for private schools and sales homes to feed for two or three months. Green grass is really foresighted.

After the oil and salt on the carriage were moved, Liu Qingcao sat for a while before leaving. At this moment, there was still half an hour for dinner, and she did not intend to settle the dinner here.

After the things in the carriage were unloaded, Junfeng pulled it much easier, but the snow was several inches thick, so walking was still not easy.

The hooves and legs of Junfeng's horse were protected by a sheath, but it was so cold that it shivered and didn't want to take a step several times. If it weren't for the many people in the village who were difficult to handle, Liu Qingcao would never have wanted it to be so drunk.

"Junfeng, come on, drink some water before we go." Liu Qingcao couldn't stand it anymore and took out a bowl of spiritual spring water to replenish its strength.

When Junfeng smelled the familiar scent, he happily pursed his lips and began to sniff. The water from the spiritual spring was in his stomach, and he kicked off his hooves and started trotting without Liu Qingcao urging him.

My brother is getting married. I’m sorry for the delay.
