After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years

Chapter 70 Valley Changes

"Master, master! The merchant ship is back!" Zhu Zhu, who was transferred to help in the kitchen, rushed over shouting and running.

 “Let’s go and have a look!”

After hearing this, Ziyu still wanted to watch the excitement. This time, the round trip time was ten days later than expected.

"Xiao Luo, follow slowly, brother, go out first!" Ziyu, who was about to leave, did not forget to tell Xiao Luo.

 “Okay, brother, walk slowly!”

Xiao Luo, who is becoming more and more sensible, waved his little hand and never forgot to give instructions to his brother.

　In early October, there was a big temperature difference between morning and evening in the valley, so several children put on thin cotton clothes.

Ziyu stood at the dock, watching the ship slowly approaching, and waved to Hong Feiyang and Wang Xingwang who were standing on the bow.

 The once barren valleys have turned into newly cultivated fields. Neat gravel roads are scattered in the valley, and the one-foot-tall stone houses have not yet been roofed.

 When it rains, several children will stay on the corridor, running and playing.

“Little brother, I have brought my family here, and now I have officially joined Daxia Bay. Do you welcome me?”

Ziyu led a few people past Sheng Xueyi, who was grazing, and climbed up a big rock to look into the distance.

Ships are currently the fastest means of transportation between Daxia Bay and the outside world, and they are also the most lacking in Ziyu.

Ziyu pointed at the people at the scene, and the helpers who heard his words were all happy.

Wang Xingwang said that when he passed by, he mentioned the harassment of his family and exposed his shortcomings, just to make Ziyu truly accept his family.

 …

“Brother Hong, thank you for your hard work. I will go back and sit down later and talk slowly.

While talking, Steward Sheng, who had received the news, came out with a group of people who were paving the road, pushing twenty carts.

Several ship bosses followed Ziyu into the valley, and were all shocked by the scene in front of them.

Only Xiao Luo wears blue fine cotton with two branches of bamboo embroidered on his chest, while the other children wear black coarse cloth.

 “Young Master, what are your orders?”

There was no place for a few people to sit down and talk for the time being, so Ziyu took the people outside the valley.

When Hu Zhengye saw Zi Yu and others appearing, he just thought they were here to see them working and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

“It’s too big. Even if you give it to me, I can’t get it back, so forget it!”

“First arrange for someone to deliver a batch of tiles to Guanshi Hu, and then transport the cloth to the corridor of the wooden house above for temporary storage.” Ziyu specifically instructed.

 Only let Lao Hu speed up the progress and cap the five rooms at the gate before dark.

 …

As the saying goes, a good word can warm you in three winters, but a bad word can hurt you in six months.

"Okay, Master!" Butler Sheng agreed and led a group of people to board the ship and unload the goods.

 Sometimes people are too busy, so they use dried fish instead of fresh fish, and the taste is still good.

“Guan Hu is busy, let’s go outside and take a look.” Ziyu waved her hand.

“Haha, my promise to Quanbo is valid at all times. There are not many trees here, but there are many trees.”

There are many kinds of wild fungi, and Tremella fungus and Ganoderma lucidum can be seen everywhere on dead branches.

 Hands of thick tree trunks are carried home, and the wages paid by others are more than just the wood.

 “Welcome Brother Wang to join us, I wish you the best.”

 She had already checked out the two nearby mountains. The ancient trees inside blocked the sky and the sun, and there were countless dead trees and broken branches.

Vegetables are consumed the slowest. Except for Ziyu and Xiaoluo who take the initiative to eat some every day, no one else is willing to eat them.

 “This place is nice! Stand high and see far.”

With frost falling for several nights in a row and the possibility of storms, Ziyu didn't dare let anyone stay in the tent anymore.

"That's right. Little brother can't be wrong in choosing a place." Wang Xingwang said calmly.

Especially for tiles, which cost three cents for two pieces, and twenty cents for tiles..." Hong Feiyang elaborated on the problems he encountered when purchasing supplies.

 “Little brother, fortunately you have lived up to your destiny!

"

Outside the valley, both sides are piled with tree trunks. The steward Hu Zhengye and his carpenters are working here to process the wood for building the attic.

Ziyu collected a lot of them into the space and threw them in the woods for Shaoyao to take care of them.

 Before arriving, Ziyu was a little worried about heating during heavy snowfall.

When we were in Jiangfu, the market price of rice had reached 60 cents per liter, and the prices of other supplies had also increased accordingly.

 Ziyu specially asked Lao Hu to add a circle of wooden boards as high as one person beside the corridor.

How was the trip? "

 Ziyu frowned slightly. She did not expect that a storm would have such serious consequences.

Wang Xingwang couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw the changes in the valley. The whole family soon had their own house and settled down.

On the wide main road, people came and went to move tiles. Two teams of people walked at the same time, and there was no crowding at all.

 On the contrary, we have to worry about fires caused by dryness, and all ancient trees within one mile must be cleared.

“Thank you, little brother, for taking me in. I encountered some things when I went out this time. I think Brother Hong has mentioned some things to you...”

“This trip went quite smoothly, our supplies were purchased in Jiang Mansion.

 Two wooden houses, for the convenience of attaching animal skins and for safety when playing with Xiao Luo.

Seeing this, Bao Jiu stopped cooking for a group of people. He only made a small portion each time, and he and Ziyu brothers shared the food.

“The cost of pulling it out is too high and uneconomical.

Hong Feiyang didn’t wait for the boat to stop, but he jumped to the dock and cupped his hands at Ziyu.

 So when felling trees, people would cut them down in large areas to prepare for the planting of fruit trees in the spring next year.

 “Little brother, you move very fast!

 Having completed more than half of the project so quickly, it seems that we came back at the right time. "

 Everyone who passes by feels warm in their hearts. Who doesn’t like the kind and generous host?

 The price there is higher than before, and the grain production has been affected by the storm, and the production reduction is very obvious.

"The trees in this mountain are thick enough. If they can be sold outside, they will definitely sell well." Quanxin suggested.

 Quan Laobo wants two or three for himself, and that’s no problem. "Ziyu said generously.

　They eat well in the valley and don’t have to work every day. They all look fair and cute, which is quite eye-catching.

 In order to store dried fish and dried whales, three wooden huts were built next to the newly built kitchen to temporarily store dried meat and newly dried salt.

“Master, please arrange for someone to unload the goods first.”

“We are working overtime to get the job done, and everyone here has contributed a lot.”

The ship returned to Daxia Bay and had to solve the problem of accommodation before dark.

Ziyu interrupted Hong Feiyang, as long as he came back safely.

Although these people were hired by Ziyu to work with Yinqian, verbal thanks are still indispensable.

 In the end, we only climbed two mountains, and there was nothing to worry about.

 A large amount of supplies have been accumulated in the valley for a while, and a dry place is needed to store them as soon as possible.

“Thank you for your hard work, everyone!” Wang Xingwang cupped his fists and thanked the people around him.

Quan San, who originally had this intention, decisively refused.

 But he didn’t say it outside that the Wang family was in trouble. Some things were better kept private.

  Within a year and a half, Wang Xingwang was not going to go to Jiang Mansion.

Several ship bosses told Ziyu what they knew, and Ziyu kept frowning.
