Chapter 528 Travel
In the following days, everyone in Kare Village was preparing the food they would need in the future.
Xu Wenyan bought a lot of beef and mutton directly from Guli's house.
As for the salt issue, it was left to Lin Zhuangyuan.
Five acres of sorghum produced nearly three thousand kilograms of sugar, which Xu Wenyan stored in hundreds of jars, and the rest was simply wrapped in oil paper.
Cut into pieces and wrap them individually.
It took nearly ten days to boil these sorghum stalks, and several pots were made during this time before they could be boiled.
Xu Wenyan will also be able to grow sorghum in the future, so it can be used as well.
When making rice candy, just use sorghum rice. Sorghum can also be used to extract oil and make wine, which are both very good.
Huo Min and Uncle Ye also came back, and Xu Wenyan also received the first payment sent by Mr. Jiang.
Inside the envelope was a booklet containing sales records annotated by Zheng Liwei, which really made things difficult for him.
This year, Zheng Liwei helped Xu Wenyan a lot, and on the surface, people thought he was the owner of Sanyan Drinks.
Xu Wenyan did increase his wages, and he could earn over a hundred taels a month, but Xu Wenyan felt it was worth it and he trusted him.
September.
Autumn is high and fresh.
Xiaoman changed into local fur clothes, with a brown fox tail slung across her chest and her hair braided into small braids.
He has a bit of the look of a handsome man from a minority ethnic group, but with a bit more heroic spirit.
The three of them were waiting outside with a camel. After Xu Wenyan went out carefully, he gently closed the door.
As early as the night before yesterday, Xu Wenyan asked Xiaoman and Luo Sanyuan to go to the desert to play.
Xiaoman's wish for coming to the border is to see the wonders of the desert, and Xu Wenyan can't let him down.
They left early for fear of waking up the children. Yesterday, when they were discussing with Luo Sanyuan, the little ones heard them and clamored to go along.
But Xu Wenyan knew how dangerous the desert was. If they encountered any danger, the grown men could still run away, but if they took the little ones with them, they couldn't abandon them.
So the four of them set out secretly early in the morning.
The affairs here are handed over to Uncle Ye and Xu Dashan to manage. Xiaohu and Mrs. Luo are also here, so there is no need to worry about anything going wrong.
After a few days of contact, Xu Wenyan discovered that Mrs. Luo was a woman with strong opinions, boldness and carefulness.
She is willing to practice everything and does things without procrastination. She will agree to do things that Xu Wenyan assigns to her if she can do it, and she will do them very well.
If you can’t do it, just refuse.
Xu Wenyan really likes Mrs. Luo's personality.
Of course, if she didn't have such courage, she wouldn't have been able to make this unlucky Luo Sanyuan so big.
"Old Xu, hurry up." Luo Sanyuan waved at Xu Wenyan.
Xu Wenyan made a silencing gesture to him: "You are going to die, don't say anything."
After placing the cloth bag on the camel and securing it, the four of them headed in the south-southwest direction.
Xu Wenyan has found out the route these days.
The nearest desert here is about two days' walk away. Xu Wenyan thought he would play in the desert and then come back in two days.
I'll be away for about seven or eight days, so it won't delay anything.
I guess I'll be able to catch the autumn harvest when I go back.
In the past few days, Xu Wenyan had almost finished taking care of the household chores. Apart from helping with ironwork and looking after the crops in the fields, there was nothing else to do.
"Oh, I haven't been out for a long time." Luo Sanyue stretched and sighed.
"It's been a long time, you just came back last month."
Xu Wenyan rolled his eyes. He probably felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Mrs. Luo every day.
"I mean we should be together. You've been busy for so long since we came back, and we haven't had a chance to get close to each other."
"Why should I get close to you? Get away from you." As he said that, Xu Wenyan stretched out his leg and lightly kicked Luo Sanyuan's thigh, and the two of them moved a little further apart.
Xiaoman and Chen Sanlin were on both sides, watching the two people in the middle fighting.
Several people were wearing thick clothes. The late autumn wind was so strong that it hurt their faces. Only thick fur coats could withstand the wind.
The further west you go, the fewer stones there are on the ground and the more sand there is.
Four people brought one tent, and they could still accommodate each other if they squeezed together.
There are only four camels, and the others have to carry daily necessities.
The walk these past two days was quite leisurely. The sun was not as strong as before and it was swaying slowly on the road.
When seeing some peculiar plants, Xu Wenyan would go down and observe them carefully.
However, Xu Wenyan didn't know as much about the plants in the desert as they did in the south, and he didn't recognize most of them.
"Old Xu, do you think there are fish in this desert?"
"Is the fish all you think about?"
"No." Luo Sanyuan corrected, "The other half is Xiaoman."
Xu Wenyan was speechless and almost kicked him again: "It seems that I am not as important as fish to you."
"Ahhh, no, you are also important." Luo Sanyuan hurriedly explained again.
Xu Wenyan was already accustomed to his behavior of talking in front and thinking behind.
But I still couldn't help but ask him, how did he survive in the military camp for so long?
"Wen Yan! Look over there!"
Xiaoman's anxious voice interrupted the two of them.
Xu Wenyan hurriedly looked towards the northwest and saw a strong wind blowing towards this side, mixed with fine sand.
It didn't look like much from a distance, but Xu Wenyan estimated that it was at least as high as four or five stories.
"Oh shit!"
Xu Wenyan couldn't help but swear as he looked at the sandstorm coming from afar.
