Hearing the sound of someone involuntarily swallowing, Han Luoxue felt a sharp pang of sadness.
She had previously considered that after the famine, the space would become less useful. After all, in this dynasty, people didn't starve to death before the space existed.
It's just that some people aren't getting enough to eat. But now, Han Luoxue realizes that the space actually has a lot of uses. For example, it can produce high-quality grains, vegetables, and fruits to supply the wealthy, and even the imperial palace.
She could also produce some lower-quality feed for livestock farming. Since the space available for raising such a limited number of animals is limited, she could easily find a place outside to set up a farm.
Feed and other materials could be processed automatically in the space. In this era, there were no large-scale breeding bases, and people's demand for meat could never be met.
Another advantage of animal husbandry is that animal manure can be used for farming, thus benefiting agriculture. Moreover, running a livestock farm requires a large workforce, which can also create jobs. Suddenly, Han Luoxue realized there were many projects she could undertake here.
And then there's Miss Du, she's a business genius. No matter the time, whose money is easiest to earn? Definitely women's. She could easily focus on women's interests. For example, she could develop skincare products, cosmetics, or nutritional supplements.
Miss Du's ability to instantly think of making money from alcohol demonstrates her exceptional business acumen. If she were in modern times, she would undoubtedly be a top-tier business genius.
However, it could also be developed in ancient times. She developed the product and handed it over to Ms. Du to manage.
Money can never be earned indefinitely, and Han Luoxue never imagined that she could make all the money by herself. Only through cooperation can profits be maximized.
She was thinking a bit too far ahead. Today, she wanted all the soldiers to have meat to eat, but Han Luoxue wasn't so arrogant as to let them eat whatever they wanted.
She has quite a few animals in her space, but it's not enough to feed 100,000 people.
The old general gave the order: "Everyone, hurry back! We'll have meat tonight."
The crowd cheered loudly.
Xu San and the others heard the commotion in their tents and, out of curiosity, sent someone over to inquire. The result infuriated her.
Just yesterday she was showing off in front of the old general, talking about how many nice things she had bought. And what was the result?
Now she hates Han Luoxue and the others to death. Neither of them mentioned yesterday that they still had meat.
Just thinking about it made her mouth water. Meat is a luxury these days.
Xu San didn't go out, but he did see the people on the other side herding large, fat pigs into the military camp.
The people behind were carrying chickens, ducks, geese, and even sheep. It's likely the fat pig was too heavy, otherwise they would have carried it in too.
Han Luoxue and Han Yuchen followed, and looking at their backs as they walked hand in hand, Xu San wanted to go over and slap them both.
Doesn't she mean what she said? She said she would pay twice the old general's price, but these two didn't even inform her.
Xu San was certain that if all that meat were on her side, many more people on the other side would come over.
Damn it, another good opportunity missed. He did want to go and question them, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
For some reason, the other party suddenly ordered so much meat. Based on her understanding of the old general and her interactions with those two people, this batch of animals would probably be incredibly expensive again.
How could the old general bear to spend so much money to buy it?
Soon, the person who had inquired returned, but the news he brought astonished him: "What did you say? It doesn't cost any money?"
"How is that possible? Those two are heartless. This thing must be incredibly expensive, how could it be free?"
"General, I have indeed found out the truth. I heard that before the two were even married, the old general insisted on officiating their wedding and said he would set up a banquet. But the two said, 'How can a wedding banquet be without meat?'"
Upon hearing this, Xu San nearly coughed up blood.
Hey guys, if you want to have a wedding, just tell me! I promise I'll help you organize it, a proper and lively affair. I'll even give you some money for the animals; you definitely won't be wasting your time.
Those two damn guys, they didn't even say a word and just gave the other side so much meat?
Soon, the squeals of pigs and the joyful laughter of everyone came from the other side.
Xu San's feelings were complicated. Soon, the aroma of meat wafted over; meat was already cooking across the street. To make matters worse, it happened to be windy today.
The air was filled with the rich aroma of meat. Xu San's mouth watered at the smell.
I've eaten meat before, but why does it smell so delicious now?
Xu San looked up at the people around him, all of whom were his most trusted subordinates.
They all had their heads bowed, and you could hear some of them swallowing hard.
...
"Shall I teach them how to grill meat?"
Seeing so much meat, Han Luoxue wanted to eat barbecue again. Although pork was also fragrant, it didn't taste the same as barbecue.
"You're going to grill it yourself?" Han Yuchen raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Are you sure you'll even get to eat it if you grill it yourself?"
With so many people, eating barbecue is definitely not feasible.
"How about we barbecue some for ourselves?"
Han Luoxue felt a craving nausea rising in her stomach.
"Let's do it another day, it's not a good time."
"Besides, with so many people, it's more cost-effective to boil the meat."
Han Luoxue thought about it and agreed. It wouldn't do for just a few of them to enjoy the delicious roasted meat while everyone else watched longingly, would it? However, she had already collected a lot of spices in her space, and had also harvested several times from the ones she had planted recently. After thinking for a moment, she took out a large amount of spices and handed them to the soldiers who were cooking.
The spices were added to the pot, making the meat even more fragrant. Everyone looked on with anticipation, and the old general laughed heartily: "I haven't eaten such fragrant meat in a long time. Today I'm going to eat my fill."
This is all thanks to his granddaughter-in-law. Especially thinking about how Xu San and the others across the street could only smell the food but couldn't eat it, the old general felt even more delighted.
But before we eat meat, we still need to take care of important business.
"Snow Girl, hurry back and get ready for the wedding ceremony!"
The old general chuckled and reminded her, and Han Luoxue thought it made sense. Today was their wedding day, so they should postpone the meal.
Worried that Han Luoxue might have trouble getting ready alone, the old general even called over an older woman from the kitchen to help her with her makeup.
Han Luoxue chose a bright red wedding dress that she liked. It was made by Sister Zhen. She remembered that Sister Zhen had once said that this wedding dress was a free gift to her.
The wedding dress was exquisitely crafted, a style Han Luoxue had never seen before. Aunt Liu was also astonished upon seeing it.
"Miss Han, how many years have you been making this wedding dress? Your embroidery is truly exquisite."
These compliments made Han Luoxue blush a little. She didn't know how to embroider at all, okay? But it wasn't convenient to explain at this moment, so she just smiled slightly.
"Look, I almost forgot the important matter. Miss Han, let me help you with your makeup."
Aunt Liu has both sons and daughters, making her the most suitable person here.
