Li Lanzhen wanted to build a clay oven for baking flatbread.
It was because she discovered a spice called "fragrant bean" in the ground of the space.
Of the several large bags of seeds of various colors in the space, Li Lanzhen only handed over some grain seeds that she recognized to Zhang Deshui.
Of course, there are also some vegetable seeds.
The sesame seeds were in another bag, and each different type of seed was in a small paper bag, which was then all put together in a large black plastic bag.
After Li Lanzhen sorted them out, she couldn't tell whether they were vegetables or flowers.
I planted a few nests in the soil of the space, and I'll see what they are after they grow up and bear fruit.
Unexpectedly, she discovered fragrant beans, which made her very happy.
In her time, she loved eating all kinds of pasta made with sesame seeds.
Fragrant bean flatbread, fragrant bean flower rolls, braised chicken with fragrant bean flatbread, braised pork ribs with fragrant bean flatbread...
Her favorite food is all kinds of baked flatbreads made with incense sticks.
Then he remembered that he had drawn a simple diagram and given it to Han Zhaoxiong, asking him to build a few earthen ovens for baking flatbread.
After walking for a while, she put the seeds of three kinds of chili peppers—bird's eye chili, small red chili, and bell pepper—into the small basket she was carrying.
The seeds of these three types of chili peppers were all grown in space.
She is now going to hand it over to Zhang Deshui to plant in the vegetable greenhouse.
She needs a lot of chili peppers this winter.
She's launching a hot pot restaurant!
There was only one Sichuan pepper tree in the space, but it was laden with fruit.
One batch was picked, and another batch ripened.
Li Lanzhen felt that this Sichuan pepper tree was an inexhaustible Sichuan pepper spirit.
Therefore, a lot of Sichuan peppercorns were stored in the space.
She doesn't plan to take the Sichuan pepper trees out and plant them in Peach Blossom Spring.
Let's consider this her secret weapon.
As for the hot pot restaurant, Li Lanzhen hasn't decided yet whether to cooperate with Hua Zhanggui or open it on her own.
She was inclined to work with Manager Hua.
One reason is that Manager Hua happens to own a restaurant, and he has branches in various prefectures, counties, and the capital.
Li Lianzhen didn't want to be greedy; she just wanted to live a peaceful life in Peach Blossom Spring, growing grain and raising livestock.
Han Mingxiang will definitely take the path of taking the imperial examination and becoming an official in the future.
We'll see where he ends up as an official after he finishes the exam.
In the capital or Youzhou, we could set up some shops and estates for them, rent them out, and let them earn rent.
If that's the case, then with three sons and one daughter, whether it's buying a manor, a house, or a shop, it has to be fair.
It seems we still need to acquire more estates, houses, and shops.
Han Mingjiang's future path should likely focus on developing his military career.
Although Xuan Shen did not tell her the full situation of the Li Dynasty.
However, judging from the few words he uttered about the situation of the Dali Dynasty...
The threat of foreign invasion still exists.
The country had just survived a year of famine, but the regional princes had retreated to their fiefdoms.
They must have harbored resentment towards Emperor Jin Yuan, and were certainly watching from behind, waiting for an opportunity.
Otherwise, Xuan Shen wouldn't be in such a hurry to train his own army here.
Since the last time Xuan Shen and Li Lanzhen had talked, she had also seriously asked Han Mingjiang about it.
Han Mingjiang greatly enjoyed the feeling of riding horses and leading troops into battle.
Therefore, Li Lanzhen did not stop him, but only reminded him that he must be diligent in his studies, otherwise he would lose his life in the end.
Think of your mother, think of your wife and sons, and you must also work hard to learn your skills.
Only by mastering and becoming proficient in various skills can one protect oneself.
From then on, Han Mingjiang worked even harder to learn skills such as horsemanship, archery, and ambush.
As for the eldest brother, Han Minghai, he went out with Manager Hua for half a year this time. After returning, Li Lanzhen felt that he had become much more composed and shrewd in handling affairs.
Manager Hua spoke to her in detail about Han Minghai's situation.
He was praised for his intelligence and kindness, but also for being too kind, inflexible, and not very tactful.
However, he wants to spend more time with Han Minghai, so things should change.
As for the youngest daughter, Han Yuemei, she will be getting married in two months.
What worries Li Lanzhen is her son-in-law, Xue Bao.
When the young man heard Han Mingjiang's wish to become a great general, he also got excited and said that he also wanted to become a great general who could gallop across the battlefield!
Moreover, he was training with Han Mingjiang, competing against him.
This infuriated Xue Laohu and his wife.
They told him repeatedly that they forbade him to go to the battlefield!
Because they only have this one son!
Li Lanzhen didn't want him to go either. After her youngest daughter married him, he went to the battlefield to kill enemies. Wasn't that handing over half of his fortune?
Sigh, children are a burden when they grow up!
Li Lanzhen walked along with these thoughts, but ended up deep in the peach blossom forest.
The peach trees grafted last autumn had a success rate of over 80%.
One-third of the peach trees bore peaches this year, and the peaches were large and of excellent quality.
Li Lanzhen believes that after three years of nurturing this peach orchard, the peaches will be a unique fruit of the Le Dynasty.
Li Lanzhen stood in the peach grove, looking north towards the valley of Peach Blossom Spring.
There, the vast land remains desolate.
Although the clearing and reclamation work has been ongoing since the beginning of spring.
However, only one-third of the land in this Grand Canyon has been developed.
Li Lanzhen was a little anxious. If only there were tractors and tillers, how wonderful it would be to drive into the fields and clear all the land.
The village committee members have been continuously surveying this canyon, and now they have thoroughly explored the entire canyon.
Lu Boyan also drew a topographic map of the Peach Blossom Spring Grand Canyon, which includes the East Mountain and the West Mountain.
This topographic map was copied more than a dozen times.
Li Lanzhen took a topographic map, which marked the various plants on the East and West Mountains.
How much land has been reclaimed in the Grand Canyon, and what is the soil like?
The land where sweet potatoes are grown has a high sand content and poor soil fertility.
North of the peach grove, the soil becomes fertile land again.
After Zhang Deshui found out, he was extremely anxious and kept jumping around.
He said to Li Lanzhen, "There are too few people, too few people. Look, so much good land, so much wasteland, but it can't be cultivated and crops can't be grown. What a waste, such a waste!"
He talks on and on all day long, and everyone in the village, adults and children alike, knows his catchphrase.
As soon as I saw him start rambling, I would continue the conversation by echoing his words.
He was both angry and amused after hearing this, and then turned and left.
After much thought, Li Lanzhen decided that after the autumn harvest this year, she would first sit down with her children and grandchildren and have a proper discussion.
After having a general outline, we'll invite our in-laws over to discuss and see how things should go from here.
