My wife is a squeamish bag

Chapter 289 Between us, there is no need to be sorry
Qi Jingyu glanced at the things she picked out, and quickly responded: "Don't worry, there are many, many."

"That's good!"

An Beibei felt relieved, then picked out another piece of ore, and whispered mysteriously: "Do you know? This piece is iron ore, with a high iron content."

Qi Jingyu's eyes tightened slightly, it really was iron ore!
"Erlang, can we pick some for ourselves?"

An Beibei asked very excitedly.

Iron ore!
With iron, she can exchange shotguns for cannons and sleeve crossbows for iron, at least doubling the lethality!
The casing of the grenade will also work much better than other alternatives.

Qi Jingyu mused and shook his head, "No, this matter is of great importance, and it is not appropriate to say anything about it for the time being."

"I see."

An Beibei said hurriedly.

Although she is moved, she is not a person who can't tell the difference.

"I brought back some saltpeter powder, do you want to make some ice for use?"

An Beibei shook her head and refused: "I don't need it for the time being. In fact, it will be very hot if I stand in the sun. It's not too hot at home."

"Leave it for now, and use it later if it becomes uncomfortably hot."

"okay."

The two talked for a while, and it was not until the fire outside started to "cha-cha", that An Beibei remembered to remove the wood chips for it.

"...If it flies away and never comes back, Jiaxuan will definitely be very sad."

Amber is not sure.

"But it will fly away one day."

"That's right, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, so let's split the wood for it now!"

Removing the wood chips was actually not complicated, but in view of the force majeure factor of clumsy hands, An Beibei still let Qi Jingyu do it.

Qi Jingyu removed the wood chips in two or three strokes.

Then, the two quietly watched Huo'er's next move.

Huo'er stared at the two of them with her small round eyes, called "chacha" a few times, flapped her wings a few times and then stopped moving.

"What's the situation with it, can't it really forget how to fly?"

An Beibei looked melancholy.

Should flightless birds be raised as chickens?
Did she save it, or did she harm it?

"Don't worry, let it get used to it for a while."

Qi Jingyu comforted him.

"we can only do this."

Seeing that she was still worried, Qi Jingyu changed the subject: "Didn't you say you drew a threshing one last night and wanted to do it for Uncle Bao?"

"Yes!"

An Beibei patted his head lightly, and quickly took out the design draft of the thresher, "Look, if it's feasible, we have to find Uncle Bao to do it quickly, and make more spares before the wheat is harvested."

"How...how does this work?"

Although Qi Jingyu has learned some basic physics knowledge, he is not so talented that he can know everything with just a glance.

"Look, the gears on this drum can drive the traction belt to rotate quickly by stepping on the pedals. We only need to move the ears of wheat..."

"So, this method of turning is actually the same as that of a sewing machine?"

"That's right,"

"Baby, you are such a treasure!"

Qi Jingyu stared at her with a hint of excitement and admiration in his eyes.

An Beibei looked a little embarrassed by him, "Actually, it's nothing. It's a pity that you can't use iron but wood. The threshing may not be clean, but it will definitely be much faster and save a lot of effort."

"You know, just saving effort and speed is already invaluable to the military households in the entire camp."

"Can the camp also be used?"

"Of course, the grain grown in the camp, in addition to providing the rations for the entire Qing County soldiers, has to be handed over [-]% to the state treasury every year."

"So in the camp, don't you spend more time farming than practicing?"

An Beibei asked in surprise.

"Yes, I will practice sooner or later, and the rest of the time, most of the time is farming, and the other half is on duty."

An Beibei didn't know what to say anymore.

To put it bluntly, military households are actually free labor plus cannon fodder.

"Erlang, tell me, besides weapons, is there any other way to get rid of military status?

For example, this thresher, or the high-yield planting method?

You don’t know yet, the small piece of bean sprouts we planted has already bloomed, which is a head taller than the one planted by my sister-in-law, and the flowers are also blooming very lushly. It is foreseeable that the yield will definitely be higher than the traditional planting method .

Let me tell you, I have recorded the planting methods. You said that if we submit this, is there any chance of getting rid of military status? "

Seeing her worry and expectation, Qi Jingyu felt even more uncomfortable.

Perhaps, he should really find a way to find out the background of the people who came from the county. It may be an opportunity for him.

"Bebe, you don't have to worry about these things, I will take care of them, soon, trust me."

Qi Jingyu gently hugged her into his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and said softly.

An Beibei moved her lips, but finally said nothing.

Every world has different rules of survival, and she doesn't have the courage to challenge the authority to overthrow the imperial power, so let's solve it in their way.

Qi Jingyu didn't know what she was thinking, and if he used the thresher to claim credit, even if he couldn't be pardoned for military status, it would still make people dare not act rashly.

But her background and identity cannot withstand further investigation.

Whether it is a blessing or a curse is unknown.

"For this thresher, don't give Uncle Bao the blueprint. I'll talk to him about the idea first, and then the two of us will figure it out together, so that even if others think of you, it won't be your fault."

If it weren't for the fact that this thing was too important to a farmer, he wouldn't have let her take the risk.

In particular, this can also be used for rice harvests, which can save everyone from the losses caused by storms due to too late to harvest every year during the harvest.

"it is good."

An Beibei responded obediently.

"Beibei, I'm sorry, it's all due to you, but you have to hand it over to others."

Qi Jingyu apologized and felt guilty.

An Beibei raised her hand to cover his mouth, opened her bright eyes and said seriously: "Don't tell me you're sorry, between us, there is no need to be sorry."

When it comes time to say "I'm sorry", "I'm sorry" is useless.

"Beibei, you know, now, I'm really glad to be exiled as a military household."

"Are you stupid?"

An Beibei scolded with a smile: "It's lucky to be exiled as a military household, but it's not good to be a rich and well-clothed young master?"

"Because I couldn't meet you without being exiled."

As Qi Jingyu said, he hugged her tightly into his arms.

An Beibei hugged him back, and said with emotion: "I am also very glad that I can meet you when I come to Dachu."

"Erlang, hurry up and eat!"

Qi Lu's voice sounded outside the room, and the people who hugged each other hurriedly separated.

As soon as she pushed the door out of the room, Qi Lu swears at her.

"Anshi, how did you become a daughter-in-law? Erlang came back so late, and he didn't feel bad about warming up the food for him!"

"Mom, I'm not hungry, I ate in the county."

Qi Jingyu stood sideways in front of An Beibei, frowning.
