Chapter 584 Weapons
Shen Shaochen's heart was filled with turbulent waves.
The place where they were was Yunzhou, and to the north of Yunzhou was Shazhou, and the border of Shazhou was Shabeiguan.
This is a very close distance.
Shen Shaochen's face turned pale. He concentrated and asked, "Dad, the border battle you mentioned, isn't it Shabei Pass?"
Shen Chengzhou, also known as Xiao Zhou, nodded and said, "It's Shabei Pass."
When Ye heard this, her legs felt weak.
The border pass, Shabei Pass, is very close to their Xinghua Village.
Ye's heart beat fast just thinking about it.
She didn't understand the affairs of the court or war, but she just hoped that the border could be defended.
Looking at the expressions of Shen Shaochen and Ye, Xiao Zhou said, "You don't have to worry. Shabei Pass will not be captured, and the Great Yan Dynasty will be fine."
When Xiao Zhou said this, he exuded a unique sense of calmness and dominance.
There is even a sense of majesty.
Shen Shaochen was stunned for a moment. He always felt that his father was different from usual.
His father doesn't seem to have much presence on weekdays.
He doesn't talk much and is quite strict.
Although he was worried about a real war at the border, for some reason, after hearing what his father had just said, he seemed to instinctively feel that there was really nothing wrong at Shabei Pass, and that the Dayan Dynasty would be fine too.
I don’t know where the confidence comes from.
Not only Shen Shaochen felt this way, but Ye also felt this way.
She had a vague feeling that the aura seemed different.
Yan Ning said, "Okay, I'll tell you. It's not to make you worry or nervous. Just do what you should do on a daily basis."
"Just don't go out too much during this period."
"It's snowing outside and it's cold. Come inside and warm up on the kang. We'll cook dinner later."
Yan Ning said this with a smile, and the atmosphere at home instantly returned to normal.
Just now, Shen Shaochen couldn't help but feel nervous.
I also relaxed at this time.
Ye also relaxed.
When she dropped the snow off her clothes into the inner room, she came to her senses and was stunned.
"Shaochen, do you think our mother is pretty amazing?"
Shen Shaochen naturally didn’t think much about it, “What’s wrong with mother?”
Ye said quietly, "She has a certain charm, and a certain feeling. Even if you're nervous or thinking about something else, she can control the situation as soon as she speaks. She won't let you think too much, and she'll make you relax."
"I feel like he should be from a big family."
Ye opened a chain of noodle restaurants, and also helped his family run the vermicelli workshop. Sometimes he came into contact with merchants from other places and gained a lot of experience.
But no matter how much she saw and learned, she still felt that those people's temperament was not as powerful as her parents'.
Shen Shaochen said: "You, don't think too much."
"You might have been frightened when you heard there was going to be a battle at Shabei Pass. I was frightened just now too. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"We should do what we should do. Clean up and help mom cook dinner. We will have dinner later."
Ye tends to listen to Shen Shaochen.
Since he said so, she didn't think much about it.
The family prepared to eat hot pot in the evening.
Even though Yan Ning was feeling heavy-hearted, she remained expressionless. She would not bring her emotions to her family.
But she and Xiao Zhou both knew it.
It was snowing heavily outside, and the family was eating hot pot in the house, feeling warm and happy.
Of course Xuanxuan can eat some meat, but Ruirui can't eat hot pot.
Yan Ning took care of Ruirui and let him drink warm milk.
I also made complementary food for him to eat.
The little guy is easy to coax. He doesn’t cry or make a fuss, and he falls asleep after eating.
Very worry-free.
As Shen Shaochen ate the hot pot, he felt his whole body warm up.
"It's still more comfortable to eat hot pot at home."
Ye said, "That's because we have seasonings and hot pot bases at home, as well as fresh ingredients, which makes it easy to make hot pot. Others can't eat hot pot without seasonings and can only eat it in a restaurant."
Shen Shaochen nodded and said, “That’s right, everyone sees that the fourth brother’s hot pot restaurant is doing well, and many people also open hot pot shops, but the base seasonings taste very different, and the ingredients are not fresh, and the price is not cheap, so everyone will eventually go to the hot pot restaurant opened by the fourth brother to eat hot pot.”
Yan Ning said, "Your sister is the one who has the foresight to suggest setting up her own farm to provide the ingredients. This will cut costs and ensure the freshness of the ingredients."
Shen Shaochen said: "Opening a farm is indeed much more convenient and saves a lot."
Just like the vermicelli in their noodle shop, using vermicelli from their own workshop really saves a lot of money.
The wheat grains needed for noodles we eat are mostly made from flour ground at home.
Of course, Shen Shaochen also bought a farm and planted wheat all over it, just to avoid having to buy flour.
The wheat grown on the farm is harvested and ground into flour, which can be directly supplied to noodle shops to make noodles.
Moreover, the seeds they used to grow wheat were not ordinary seeds on the market, but high-yield wheat seeds given by their sister. The wheat they planted produced more than 1,000 kilograms per acre.
One acre of land is equivalent to several acres of land.
Nowadays, the quilts we use at home in winter are all made of new cotton produced in my sister's farm. They are very warm.
There are not only cotton quilts but also down quilts, you can use whichever one you want.
Especially the fresh cotton quilt is very comfortable and warm.
They all understood that all these changes were brought about by their younger sister, and they were all good changes.
Although they were in Xinghua Village, they were still concerned about their sister and brother-in-law in Hezhou.
The family ate hot pot and talked.
Yan Ning asked, "Is business in the store okay?"
Shen Shaochen nodded and said, “Well, everything is fine. I arranged for the shopkeeper to take good care of the store, and the staff in the store are also very diligent.”
Ye added, "Mom, the store opened by my younger brother and sister-in-law is also doing very well. They all expressed their gratitude to you."
Ye was also happy from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing that her younger brothers and sisters were living a happy life, she was happy for them too.
Moreover, my brother-in-law and his wife also gave birth to a boy who is very smart.
Now that our family is well off, my younger siblings plan to send him to school when he turns three.
She had previously given a noodle shop to her younger brother and sister-in-law.
Although the noodle shop has the same name and serves the same food, that noodle shop is run by her younger brother and sister.
The business was pretty good. At the beginning they were very busy and needed to look after it every day.
Later they also hired people to do the work so that they could all have more ease.
When the weather is cold, you can stay at home and keep warm.
No need to go outside to blow the cold wind.
She still remembers how cold it was when it snowed heavily as a child.
At that time, there were no heated kangs or stoves, and even few warm clothes.
It's not easy to survive the cold winter.
Yan Ning smiled and said, "We are all family, there is no need to say thank you or not."
The family talked and smiled on their faces.
Looking at the heavy snow outside, they could all feel that the next year would be another year of harvest.
After dinner, when everyone was asleep, Xiao Zhou and Yan Ning went out in the heavy snow.
They took their hoes and went to the fields.
Start digging under a big tree.
After digging for a while, with their hands almost frozen, they dug out a spear and a sword.
