Chapter 478 All walks of life
Lin Qingyuan has become more steady and handsome now. If he looks like this when he meets me, my situation might be different.
But no matter how dashing and charming he is now, Song Liyun will always remember him coming to Tianxianglou to eat roasted lamb kidneys and being pinned to the ground and beaten by Zhou Xianglin Tao and others.
At that time, he was indeed a bastard that people wanted to beat up as soon as they saw him.
Lin Qingyuan stood at the door and dusted himself off before entering the warm room. "Madam Song, isn't your warehouse a little small? You need to expand it. I see the hay piled up takes up half the yard."
The last time Song Liyun returned to Xiaoshi Village, Song Zhenping asked her to remove a hundred acres of straw, doubling the space.
Now they have been dumped out and piled up in the yard, almost taking up all the open space at the back.
There are many horses in Mida City, including hundreds of horses in the Leizi Camp, so the reserve of fodder is very important.
But right now the grassland is already covered with green grass, which is suitable for grazing horses.
We can't just leave the hay like this for a whole year, we have to find a way to solve the problem.
"I want to sell some hay. Do you have any ideas?" Song Liyun said casually.
Song Dekui thought for a moment and said, "Don't sell it now. Set up a horse farm outside the city and rent out the pens."
Now the merchants' horses are still concentrated in the tribe, and every time they need a horse, they have to go to the tribe more than ten miles away to get it back.
These merchants will definitely want to feed the horses they bring in themselves in the future, so buying fodder is a must.
If they are raised outside the city, it is convenient, but there is no way to graze them, so they can only be kept in captivity.
Just as he was saying this, the maid Shayi brought Lin Qingyuan some milk tea, threw him a wink, and then left.
Lin Qingyuan coughed and looked at Song Liyun: "Are these Di women easy to use? Do you want to buy a few maids?"
He meant buying people from the Wu Dynasty.
Song Liyun raised her eyebrows. She had never thought of buying a maid, partly because she was not used to being served personally.
Secondly, Mida City is remote, and with the precedent of the noble lady of the Wuda tribe, those maids might not be willing to be sold here after traveling thousands of miles.
For now, we will temporarily use Di Nu as a servant.
I didn't expect that the Di woman was so unrestrained and generous. She was the same here as she was in the tribe.
Especially when she saw a handsome Wu Dynasty man like Lin Qingyuan, she did not hide her admiration for him.
Even her master felt embarrassed.
Song Dekui had already married, so how could he not know what those Di women were thinking?
He looked at Lin Qingyuan and joked: "This Di girl just now is not bad. I'll ask Xiaoyun to arrange for her to serve you tonight!"
Lin Qingyuan didn't even blush at this joke. He said calmly, "Thank you so much, Madam, for taking the trouble. I don't have to go to the tribe anymore!"
Even though she knew Lin Qingyuan was joking, Song Liyun couldn't laugh!
There are all kinds of goods in Mida City, except for one thing: brothels.
Lin Qingyuan originally wanted to buy a few prostitutes, but was rejected by Song Liyun.
As a woman, it is definitely unacceptable both physically and psychologically to such a dirty thing.
However, Lin Qingyuan, the Wan family, and Hecheng's Zhao Tinglei all have shares in Mida City.
In the common sense of these men, brothels are a standard place to relax the body and mind.
Although Song Liyun is the wife of the city lord, she cannot deny the legitimacy of the existence of an industry, nor can she control the certain needs of the men in the caravan who have experienced long and dangerous journeys.
Now is the early stage of the city's construction, and no one mentioned it again since Song Liyun denied it.
But... there are no women in the city, but there are women in the tribe!
So some tribes used lowly female slaves to make money, simply because the city dwellers needed to travel a distance.
In this situation, Song Liyun could only turn a blind eye.
She knew that in the future, there would inevitably be a love street in Mida City.
All I can do is to provide personal protection to those women who voluntarily earn money, check their hygiene, and prevent them from suffering physical harm and endangering their lives.
In the evening, Song Erlang knew that his younger brother had arrived, so he also came to the City Lord's Mansion from the construction site.
When he saw Song Dekui, before he could say anything, Song Erlang slapped him in the face.
Song Dekui was stunned: "Second brother, why are you hitting me? What did I do wrong?"
"What did you do wrong? You found a good relative, but do you know how much trouble you've caused Xiaoyun? You've asked for more than two hundred taels of silver in just one month here, and you've even extorted twenty taels from me."
Hearing that it was Xia Pu, Song Dekui instantly wilted: "Second brother, I apologized to Xiaoyun and will pay back the two hundred taels of silver later."
Hearing that Song Dekui was willing to pay back the money for the Xia family, Song Erlang's anger subsided a little, but he was still upset: "I've paid it back this time, Xiaoyun can let it go, but what if the Xia family causes trouble in the future?"
"Hey! Don't worry about that! I've already taken my father-in-law and mother-in-law out of the Xia family and put them in a place where they'll never find me. If they want to control me... humph, no way!"
"He was picked up? Is that true? Where did you put him? I have to warn you, if you send him to Suijin Town again, it will cause trouble for Xiao An!" Song Erlang seemed to believe it.
This younger brother used to be a street wanderer who couldn't sit still because his soles were itchy, and he was usually not a serious person.
It's only in the past two years of being with Xiaoyun that I've felt more stable than before.
But how is it possible that a living person can’t be found?
However, Song Dekui did not intend to tell his second brother. If he went back and told his father, he would be accused of fooling around.
In the minds of ordinary people, people from the Wu Dynasty would only settle in the Di tribe as a last resort.
"Brother, don't worry. My business is done. Just open up the land for Xiaoyun and go home. Your parents and children still need someone to take care of them!"
Song Dekui's words successfully shut Song Erlang up, as he was also thinking about Xiaoshi Village.
Although my eldest brother returns to the village from time to time, the town is busy with official business and it is impossible for him to take care of everything.
There are hundreds of acres of mountain land in Daping, and people are needed to help take care of it.
My parents are old, so I have to go back to feel at ease.
There were ten caravans coming from Mida City. Lin Qingyuan and Song Dekui were not planning to leave anymore and stayed to help the busy Song Liyun take care of the trivial matters in the city.
In the evening, the City Lord's Mansion held a banquet to entertain the guests.
There are no decent chefs in Mida City now. The restaurants are all run by soldiers from the Lei Camp who can cook some home-cooked meals. The other is Tianxianglou’s signature barbecue, including grilled fish and grilled rabbit.
There is the Mida River here. No one used to catch fish in it before, so the fish in the river are fat and delicious. Since last year, Song Erlang and his friends have been able to catch a lot of fish every day.
Now grilled fish is naturally available in the city.
I don’t know if it’s the special aroma of food roasted with cow dung, or the difference in seasoning, but the spicy and delicious flavor quickly won the favor of the caravans.
Moreover, as the caravan left, the word about the cow dung grilled fish in Mida City spread.
Later on, cow dung barbecue far surpassed Tianxianglou in Qili County.
City Lord's Mansion.
Usually Song Liyun eats the meals prepared by Di Nu, and only when Zhao Tingduo comes back will she cook a few dishes herself.
Lin Qingyuan and Song Dekui came today, and Song Erlang was also here. Song Liyun went into the kitchen and made braised rabbit cubes, grilled fish, and some seasonal side dishes that were stored in the space.
There is also a signature barbecue.
The only difference is that they were not burning cow dung, but charcoal. Several Di women were serving the barbecue on the side, and Song Liyun and others were eating and chatting.
Song Erlang said that the soil on the grassland is fertile, and dozens of acres of land along the river have been opened up, and potatoes and corn can now be planted.
The grassland has short summers and long winters, so you can harvest when the temperature drops.
Song Liyun nodded repeatedly, this was the top priority.
Potatoes are both vegetables and staple food, and corn is even better, as it can be eaten by both humans and livestock.
The next day, Song Liyun found some seeds from the warehouse and prepared to send them to the river.
A guard came over to report: "Madam, the city lord has returned! And with him is a team from the Wan family, with over a hundred people!"
A caravan of hundreds of people from Wanjia?
