Chapter 493 Development is the only way
Of course she knew what Shen Xiao was doing. Sheng Ze had told her before that Shen Xiao should be responsible for the research and development of gunpowder. This was a secret, so Shen Xiao naturally would not tell Xiao Lin.
"Alas," Xiao Lin sighed, "I know it's not my place to interfere with what he does outside, but this is too damaging to his health. If he damages his foundation, it won't be repaired later."
Shen Qingqian didn't say anything else, not because she didn't want to say it, but because she knew that the Shen family's bodies were nourished by the magical spring water, so even if they were a little tired for a short period of time, they would be fine. However, it would be difficult to tell Xiao Lin about this.
At this time, Shen Qingning's voice rang out from outside the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, Sixth Sister, Big Brother and Third Brother Cheng are back. Cook a few more dishes!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran in from outside with a basket of vegetables, "Quick, deal with these peppers first. Big brother and Chengyun brother like to eat this the most."
Ling Yun had returned from Chenzhou a long time ago.
Shen Qingqian glanced at the green peppers in the basket and felt a little distressed. "Fifth sister, these haven't grown well yet. We should wait a few days before picking them."
"Oh, I know. It's because we saw Third Brother Cheng and the others coming. We don't have anything special to offer, so this is the only fresh food. But don't worry, I dried a lot of peppers a few days ago and will plant them tomorrow."
Shen Qingning smiled and said as he dealt with the dishes in his hands.
The Shen family's kitchen is now managed by Shen Qingning, and the vegetable garden has also been handed over to her.
What’s more, for foodies, vegetables grown by themselves can actually taste even more delicious, so Shen Qingning is particularly concerned about growing vegetables.
However, it was still a little difficult for a little girl like her to take care of such a large piece of land, so Mrs. Wu asked Shen Qingman to help her. The two sisters took good care of the vegetable garden. During the war, they harvested vegetables and sold them to Yunzhongxian Restaurant.
After she said that, Shen Qingqian didn't say anything else, wondering why Sheng Ze and the others came back suddenly.
You know, the Hubei North Army is now loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Any general is extremely busy, not to mention the soldiers under him.
The reason was simple. After King Zhao's army retreated, Liang Cheng convened a meeting for half a day and put into practice everything that Shen Qingqian and Sheng Ze had said before.
All things are difficult at the beginning. For a group of people who have never had contact with businessmen before, suddenly asking them to deal with them would be a real hassle.
However, development is the bottom line. Liang Cheng's ability to lay things out means that more people will join in, which will also be beneficial for northern Hubei to break away from the control of the court in the future.
These things haven't happened to Shen Qingqian yet, but she estimates that it won't be long before she will be busy.
With Shen Qingning joining in, the meal was ready quickly, but just before the meal started, an uninvited guest arrived.
"Brother Shen, long time no see. Sorry to bother you." Li Hezhou smiled and bowed to Shen Xiao.
Wu and the others were all confused and didn't know why he suddenly visited.
Chen Xiao invited him into the house and asked him to sit next to Sheng Ze. "It's just a simple meal. Please bear with me, Mr. Li."
Li Hezhou looked at the dishes on the table, feeling surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. He was still smiling, "It's me who was abrupt. I came here without saying hello. Aunt and Brother Shen, please don't be offended."
Wu Liandao said nothing was wrong.
With Li Hezhou around, it was inconvenient for the women of the Shen family to sit at the big table. Shen Qingman led Shen Qingxiao and others to rearrange the food, and Wu, Liang, and Lin took Shen Qingqian and others to the living room of the second house to sit down.
After dinner, Li Hezhou explained his purpose.
"Brother Shen, I heard that the Hubei Army is looking for people to form a caravan to travel between Hubei and the outside of the Great Wall. Is this news true?"
