Li Yan: "The Northwest is a bitterly cold place, and it's even worse in winter. Not to mention that these sweet potatoes can't withstand the cold weather, they must have been bumped and bruised quite a bit on the way back!"
Xing Yun said anxiously: "This is the first time I've seen this thing. I didn't expect it wouldn't work even if I put it in the house. How should I store it?"
"If you have a cellar, put it there. It won't freeze. If you put it in a room, cover it tightly with straw. That will be much better!"
Li Yan pointed at the small mountain of sweet potatoes and said to Xing Yun, "I just checked. The ones on the outside are all frozen to some extent. Find someone to sort them out and pick out the bad ones!"
After hearing what Li Yan said, Xing Yun wanted to call someone to deal with the sweet potatoes immediately, but when he remembered that Li Yan was here, he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Miss Li. I'll take you out first!"
Li Yan looked at Xing Yun's anxious look and sighed in her heart, "This person really cares about Xibi's development all the time!"
Li Yan waved her hand and said, "Master Xing, go ahead and do your work. I know the way out myself!"
At this time, Qin Yue, who had been following behind the two of them, said nonchalantly: "If cousin has anything to do, go and help first. I will help you send Miss Li off!"
Xing Yun looked at Qin Yue. Ever since he was old enough to understand, he had been brought up by his uncle and had followed him to garrison in the northwest. He had only returned to Beijing a few times over the years, and his schedule was always busy, so he would rush back to the barracks after a few days.
On the contrary, Qin Yue, the son of General Qin, grew up in the capital and had never set foot in the northwest! If it weren't for escorting the Fourth Prince to the northwest this time, Qin Yue would probably not have had the opportunity to set foot here.
Although he had no impression of this cousin who suddenly appeared in the military camp, he had heard from his uncle's personal guards about Qin Yue's various bad deeds, such as his flirting with cats and dogs and his lack of knowledge and skills!
After all, he was still worried about Li Yan, a girl, so Xing Yun said, "Don't worry about it for a while, let's go!"
Qin Yue looked at the two people walking away and couldn't help but laugh at himself. He felt like he was being completely despised! He had encountered such things so many times over the years that Qin Yue had long been accustomed to it.
He wandered around the camp without much concern, but when he recalled the peppercorns he saw in front of the camp gate, he couldn't help but stop.
Recalling what several people had said about Piaoxiang Tower, Qin Yue turned around and walked out of the camp!
Xing Yun escorted Li Yan out the door and thanked her, "Thank you so much for today, Miss Li!" He then took out two ingots of silver and handed them to Li Yan, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Miss!"
Li Yan waved her hands repeatedly, "Mr. Xing, what do you mean? Picking these things is just a bit of work! If you really feel bad about it, just grow some next year and give it to me to try!"
Xing Yun was amused by Li Yan: "Okay, then it's a deal!"
Li Yan continued on her journey with the Zhao father and son, and first took them to the clinic where Doctor Zhou was working.
When Li Yan came in with something in her arms, Zhou Xun was copying a pulse chart at his desk. He looked up when he heard the noise and saw that it was Li Yan. He quickly put down his pen and said in surprise, "Miss Li, why are you here?"
Doctor Zhou, who was resting on a recliner nearby, also sat up and greeted her, "Miss Li, it's been a while since we last met. You seem to have lost a lot of weight, but your complexion is still as rosy as ever!"
Li Yan greeted Doctor Zhou with a smile, placed the items in her hand on the table and said to the two of them, "Thanks to you for letting Zhou Xun accompany us south. He has helped us a lot along the way. Although these things are worthless, they were brought back from the south and are very useful now!"
Doctor Zhou: "What are you talking about, young lady? I should thank you for taking him out into the world. This child used to be silent for half a day, but now that he's back, his personality has become much more cheerful! He loves to joke around too!"
