Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 295

The head of the family said so, so after dinner Ye Xi and Ye Xin took their three children to the yard to set off fireworks.

They didn't buy any fireworks that made a particularly loud noise, just some glowing ones that were suitable for children to play with.

Ye Xi still has a childlike heart and likes to play with children. However, little Siyu is only a few months old and cannot play.

She could only be held by Ye Xin and watch from the side, but she kept babbling and wanted to join in, which made Ye Xin laugh.

At the beginning of the following spring, Ye Xi received a letter from Qin Song, saying that potatoes and corn had been planted in the rented fields. Old Li had taken good care of them, and they seemed to be growing well.

Ye Xi thought that this way she could set up her food chain.

In the spring, Ye Xi took back her own land and hired people to help plant the peppers and tomatoes she had grown.

And, of course, potatoes and corn.

These crops can also be grown in the Hangzhou area, so she can grow them in her own fields, so it's not a big problem. Moreover, when the court collects taxes, she doesn't have rice, but she can use silver instead.

She was anxious to grow the seeds of these crops so that next time she could plant them in other places she had seen before.

Reduce the planting costs and then plan her chain stores.

In Huyang City, Wei Jue finally had some free time. After the war in the north broke out, the war in the west also followed.

War has become the norm. The enemy attacks from time to time, and as long as we fight back in time, there won't be any big problems.

He believed that simply fighting back would not work to end the war, and he felt that it was time to use the chess pieces that his grandfather had placed on the Qiang and Xiongnu sides many years ago.

Let them stir up trouble in the enemy country, causing internal strife among them so that they have no time to take care of the war between the two countries, giving the Great Zhou Dynasty some time to catch its breath.

He has been in Huyang City for four months. He has either been staying in the military camp or traveling around the western border to familiarize himself with the terrain. Now he finally has time to walk around the city.

Huyang City is the closest city to the military camp, and the soldiers in the camp would come here to have fun when they have free time.

Although this is a border area, because there are troops stationed here, it has everything it needs. It is basically designed for the people in the barracks, but the quality is far from satisfactory.

"My Lord, the war broke out just after you arrived at Huyang City. I guess you haven't had a good time walking around the city. Let me take you around today."

Liu Cheng followed Wei Jue.

Wei Jue walked on the street in plain clothes, observing everything in Huyang City.

He has a good memory and can remember the layout of the entire city after just one walk. His goal is to have a general impression of the city's layout.

Liu Cheng never stopped talking along the way, and kept introducing him to the layout along the streets and possible abnormalities in the city.

After walking for about an hour, Wei Jue stopped and stared at a small shop for a long time without moving.

He never thought that he would see Zhiwei Restaurant in such a remote place.

Even though the Zhiwei Restaurant was very small and looked like a copy of the one in Beijing, he was still excited.

What he cares about is not the store, but the person behind the store, the person he cares about most.

Ye Xi, these two words created ripples in his heart. How long has it been since he last saw her?

It's been a year. If she hadn't left, perhaps they could still communicate through letters.

Although she was quite cold towards him, he was on the battlefield, so she would definitely not be stingy with her words of concern for him in her letters.
