Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 289: Burmese Jade

The reason why the family spoke so well just now was, of course, in comparison with Qin Province. After all, everyone had experienced so much from last year to the beginning of this year.

Compared with the refugees scattered all over Qin Province and the tense war atmosphere, although there are wars on the border every day in Dian Province, it is generally stable.

Of course, the people of Yunnan Province also had a hard time. In addition to providing food for the expeditionary force, they also had to provide the US military with various supplies, including high-end ingredients such as beef and eggs.

The reason why Hou Xiaoge's family is so stable now is naturally because of the support of Tianmen Group and Yanhuang Alliance.

After all, the family has eight acres of land and a stall that earns at least two dollars a day. Anyone can live a stable life.

It was the end of September. During this period, Hou Xiaoge went to America for inspection twice and delivered a batch of wake-up cigarettes. Instead, he spent the rest of his time enjoying his leisure time at home.

Now almost every family in Nanjiagou has someone working in Tianmen Group, and they earn a lot of money every month.

At the end of September, Nanjiagou Village harvested a batch of grain, and every household had their pockets filled with money.

At the same time, a brand new Nanjiagou Village was rebuilt in a place called Panlong Valley outside Kunming City.

Today's houses are of course not cave dwellings, but courtyards like normal houses with buildings on three sides and a wall on one side.

Of course, these houses are still adobe structures, most of them are covered with straw, and only a few are covered with green tiles.

But this is already very good. Many people are so proud to own adobe house of their own.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

On October 1st, the doorway of Hou Yangmin's house was covered in red and the sound of firecrackers could be heard everywhere.

It turned out that this day was a big wedding day for Hou Xiaoge's eldest cousin Hou Huanying.

At the end of last year, Hou Huanying actually talked about a girl in Changan, but it broke up due to various reasons.

By October this year, Hou Huanying was already seventeen years old and was fully eligible for marriage.

During the war years, many people were living in fear of their future and married early in order to have more children and leave behind more descendants.

Just like the huge population loss in Nanjiagou from last year to this year, coupled with the impact of the war, the population has dropped by 60% from nearly 800 in western Henan.

So since the corn was harvested in Nanjiagou Village at the end of September, everyone has money, and as long as they don’t have a wife or their sons are of age, they all take action.

Although the people in Nanjiagou are unfamiliar with the place, every household has land to farm, so life is not too comfortable.

Ordinary people in Yunnan Province live in poverty, and it is not easy to find families with land, so they naturally hit it off.

So starting from the end of September, one or two families in the village would find wives for their sons or brothers almost every day.

It can be predicted that by next year, the population of Nanjiagou Village will see its first explosion, injecting new blood into this disaster-stricken small village.

"Don't you always crave my braised meat? Today Heiwa braised a pig, and there's plenty of braised meat for you to enjoy." It was also the first time for Hou Yangmin to marry his son off, and he was more excited than marrying himself.

"Yangmin, you are still a bachelor now, when are you going to get married? You are wearing such new clothes today that someone who doesn't know would think you are getting married!"

"Ha ha!"

"Sixth brother, get out of here right now. Your family members are saying whatever they want." Hou Yangmin scolded with a smile.

On the happy day, the villagers joked with each other, and some dirty words came out one after another, but no one cared.

"Hei Wa, what secret recipe did you take? You are only eleven years old but you are as tall as me."

"With this head, you can get married next year.

"Haha! It's true."

As everyone was chatting, the conversation turned to Hou Xiaoge who was serving dishes.

After September, Hou Xiaoge was eleven years old and over 1.72 meters tall, which was not as tall as an adult.

Although she looks young, people would still believe she is only fifteen or sixteen.

"I'm still young, there's no rush to get married!" Hou Xiaoge replied with a smile.

"That little one?"

"You little kid don't know what it's like to have a wife!"

A group of men were talking and then went out of the building.

"Sixth brother, what's the taste? You men are only good at talking." At this time, the old ladies at another table laughed.

Married women can be even more outrageous than men when they open their mouths, which scares all the men so much that they quickly shut their mouths and drink their wine obediently.

Hou Xiaoge also smiled and said nothing. It seems that married men in that era were all controlled by women!

.........

After resting at home for a few months, Hou Xiaoge decided to move around, otherwise his muscles and bones would become rusty.

Hou Xiaoge has not received any jade in bulk since the dissolution of the Yanhuang League in China in May. He only started purchasing jade in small quantities after arriving in Yunnan Province.

Now Tianmen Group is on the right track. Penicillin and allicin have also started to be produced in small batches. Together with the red wound medicine provided by Hou Xiaoge, they have been successfully circulated among the expeditionary forces and nearby provinces.

"Wenjun, the quality of the goods last time was not good. If the quality is still like this next time, don't accept them." Hou Xiaoge said in a serious tone in the Tianmen Group office.

"Chairman, there is a war going on over there now and the transportation costs are too high. I suggest that we temporarily stop the purchase." Wen Jun handed a purchase list to Hou Xiaoge and reported.

"Contact them and have the goods ready. I'll contact someone to transport them.

Wenjun, let me tell you, this jadeite raw stone is the key item for developing the refreshing cigarette, so don't be afraid of the high cost, everything is worth it. "Hou Xiaoge said seriously.

"Ah! No wonder you, leader, collected jade as soon as the Yanhuang Alliance was established. So that's how it is.

I feel that the refreshing cigarette is the best product of our company. In the future, the company will give priority to the purchase of jade raw materials. "Wen Jun got Hou Xiaoge's explanation, and the feeling of being trusted made her smile particularly brightly.

In fact, Hou Xiaoge was not talking nonsense. The raw jade stone in the ring can be used as energy to expand the space or to supplement the fertilizer for crops.

Otherwise, if there is no space for planting for a long time without fertilizer, the nutrition will naturally not keep up, and either the crops will degenerate or the space will shrink.

Over the past year or so, the space has been of great help to Hou Xiaoge and the anti-Japanese war, so it must be taken seriously.

But meteorites are rare after all, especially those containing energy. Hou Xiaoge can only turn his attention to inferior jade raw materials.

"Chairman, the other party has already mined and selected 300 tons, and the goods are already stored in the open valley you designated." A month later, Wen Jun came to inform Hou Xiaoge to pick up the goods.

"Row!"

"Chairman, can you take me with you?" Wen Jun asked with anticipation.

"Next time! I'll take you with me when I go to the United States for a rest." Hou Xiaoge said with a smile as he looked at the youthful Wen Jun.

"Ok!"

Because there were Japanese planes in Myanmar, Hou Xiaoge kept flying the plane at low altitude.

More than an hour later, Hou Xiaoge found the designated valley.

"Alliance leader!"

"You guys retreat! Some brothers will come to transport us in a while." Hou Xiaoge said to the guarding disciples.

After everyone left, Hou Xiaoge suppressed the vibration of the ring space and began to explore the surroundings.

As expected, there were local natives watching around.

"Hmph! You haven't taken action for a while, you're looking for death." Hou Xiaoge teleported over to reap the rewards.

More than 20 minutes later, Hou Xiaoge searched the area within a radius of two kilometers and found more than thirty people.

"receive!"

Coming to the raw stone, Hou Xiaoge spoke softly, and saw the ring emitting light that began to cover the pile of stones in front of him.
