Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 1034 General's Mansion 2



Chapter 1034 General's Mansion 2

Several yards this large can dry at least a thousand kilograms of grain at a time.

Xu Sibei took her around the yard and said, "I'm a lazy person. I don't want to do anything fancy, so there's nothing in the yard. You can choose your own yard and plant some flowers and plants. We rarely plant these things at home."

Xu Xiaobei said, "Whenever you need any flowers or plants, just give Old Man Xu a list and he will go buy them for you."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother. But I don't need these flowers and trees. I can't stay here twice a year. If I bring some flowers and trees back, they will be tired to take care of them, and I won't be able to see them. It's not cost-effective."

After chatting for a while, the two of them said goodbye.

The personal soldiers went downstairs to serve hot water, hot tea and snacks. They were much more familiar with this house than Zhou Guo.

Dashu and Xiaoshu looked around the house and exclaimed, "Master, this general's mansion is really big. We have been around for so long and have been to many places. I wonder how many rooms there are in it and how many people can live there at one time?"

"The General's Mansion is really magnificent, but it's a bit cold and feels like no one has ever lived there."

Zhou Guo said, "You haven't heard that they only live here for a few days a year, so it's like no one has ever lived here. Come on, wash up and go to bed. It's getting late."

She always fell asleep as soon as she lay down, and she slept soundly even in the wild.

But she couldn't sleep tonight. Whenever she thought about the fact that she was in the general's mansion and that the two sons of the Xu family lived in the next yard, and that she had just recognized them as the eldest and youngest brothers, she felt that what happened that day was unreal.

After being General Xu's wild girl who had been wandering outside for so many years, she now actually moved in openly. It's really incredible. How did she go from being a ridiculous rumor to what she is now?

I tossed and turned for a while before falling asleep.

The next day, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

She picked up her gun and came to the yard. Looking at the huge yard without any obstruction, she understood Xu Sibei's thoughts a little. This was his training ground. Having such a large training ground was much better than any garden.

After all, if you want to see flowers, you can go to the back garden, or at worst, go to another yard.

Xu Sibei next door opened his eyes at the same time, threw off the quilt, got up, walked into the yard, and saw a person standing on the wall.

I was startled and looked over, and it turned out to be my eldest brother Xu Xiaobei.

Curious, I asked, "What are you doing standing on the wall so early in the morning? Are you peeing?"

Xu Xiaobei turned his back to him.

He climbed up out of curiosity and saw Zhou Guo in the next yard, performing martial arts with a spear with great vigor, his head flying, the spear wrapped around his waist, and his tail swinging like a tiger. He demonstrated the key points of lifting, capturing, blocking, wrapping and circling to the fullest.

The sound of the spear breaking through the air echoed in the huge courtyard.

Xu Sibei's eyes became brighter and brighter. He also knew this set of shooting skills, but it was never as powerful as this one. If there was a stone in front of her, she might be able to break it with the way she shot.

"How can it be so powerful? This is just an ordinary Overlord Spear, many people can use it!"

Xu Xiaobei didn't reply.

The fierce dragon flipped over the river, flipped all the way over, and finally ended this set of shooting skills with a beautiful counter-attack.

Xu Xiaobei smiled.

Xu Sibei jumped down from the wall and said excitedly: "Come on, come on, practice with me. I also know this gun technique."

Zhou Guo nodded, "Okay."

Xu Xiaobei stood with his hands behind his back, watching the two men's shooting skills back and forth. This child is very similar to their family members in every way. If it were a boy, he would definitely be able to go to the battlefield.

Zhou Guo controlled the strength and Xu Sibei was able to hold on. After finishing a set of shooting skills, both of them were sweating.

Xu Xiaobei looked down at him and said, "Move aside, I'll do it."

Xu Sibei wisely stepped aside and said to him kindly, "Brother, be careful, Guo is very strong."

It was really big. Every time he took the gun, his palms would feel numb and painful.

Xu Xiaobei raised his gun, and it was not known whether he heard it or not.

Zhou Guo didn't dare to be negligent. They were different from his uncle. They had all started practicing since childhood.

The younger brothers are so awesome, and the older brother is even more amazing.

When they started fighting, neither side used their full strength.

But just this one move made the two of them dare not be negligent.

Xu Sibei watched intently from the side. Although he had always liked martial arts, he had never been on a big battlefield. Besides, his elder brother was so much older than him that he could not compete with him at all.

Even though Zhou Guo is very strong, he cannot compare to him.

The two of them practiced one set after another, seemingly tirelessly.

More than half an hour passed before he finally stopped.

Xu Sibei clapped his hands and said, "It's really beautiful, even better than the opera."

He has gained a lot today.

Zhou Guo wiped his sweat and smiled shyly: "My hands are itching on weekdays, so I got up early in the morning and practiced some boxing and kicking. Did I disturb you?"

Xu Xiaobei asked: "Who taught you this Kung Fu? You know a lot."

Zhou Guo said: "My master taught me. He was a bodyguard when he was young. He learned from many people. It was a bit miscellaneous, so I learned a little bit from them."

He nodded.

The servant came to report that breakfast was ready.

A few people washed up and went to have breakfast.

The breakfast at the General’s Mansion is also simple.

They were all noodles, steamed buns, steamed rolls, egg white porridge, and some pickled vegetables.

Xu Xiaobei said: "I don't know if it suits your taste. If you are not used to it, ask them to make it again."

Zhou Guo said, "Refined rice and white flour, what's there to be unaccustomed to? I'm not a rich lady who never leaves her house, I can eat anything."

Xu Sibei scooped porridge for the two of them, then sat down to eat, saying, "I like eating these buns. Try them. They are much better than those bought outside."

Zhou Guo looked at the porridge and said, "Brother, if you put two spoons of crab sauce in this porridge, it will be more delicious!"

"Yes, we haven't finished the crab paste you brought yesterday. I'll go get it." Xu Sibei ran away.

Xu Xiaobei peeled an egg for her and asked, "We will be back to the camp in the afternoon. Is there anything else you want us to do?"

Once they go in, they don’t know when they will be able to come out next time.

Zhou Guo shook his head. "I don't have anything else to do. What I want is manpower, manure, and horse bones. There's no rush for horse bones. After all, we already have enough for this year. I just need these things in the spring of next year."

Xu Xiaobei nodded, "I understand."

"Here I come." Xu Sibei rushed in like a gust of wind, holding a jar, and said excitedly: "I forgot that there is such a good thing. It must be delicious when eaten with porridge."

He scooped a full spoonful of porridge for Xu Xiaobei, then scooped a large spoonful for Zhou Guo, and finally two spoonfuls for himself.

He took a bite first, and it didn't taste salty at all, so he nodded repeatedly while eating.
