Chapter 241

This meal, both of them were absent-minded and embarrassed. In short, it was like chewing cotton.

After dinner, doriku grabbed the money and asked Ye Xiaoxian if she wanted to go shopping.

Ye Xiaoxian said she was tired. Now she wants to go back to the inn to have a rest.

Doriku had to follow her back.

When they came, they came side by side, but when they left, ye Xiaoxian deliberately slowed down and insisted on walking behind doriku.

Doriku thought Ye Xiaoxian was angry and didn't dare to walk side by side with Ye Xiaoxian all the time. Instead, he subconsciously protected her while walking and took care of her little emotions.

When he was about to return to the inn, doriku finally couldn't help it. He turned back and walked side by side with Ye Xiaoxian, and said, "leaf, if you don't like me, it doesn't matter, but I hope our relationship can be the same as before. We can cooperate together and do a good job in the camel team. Don't ignore me because of this."

"Of course." Ye Xiaoxian answered without thinking.

Then she said, "but I hope you don't mention liking me in the future, otherwise we will both be embarrassed. I'll take you as my friend and don't know about it."

Doriku was relieved: "I can only promise you not to mention it, but I won't stop liking you. Since you don't like me, we'll get along as before. If one day you change your mind, tell me again, I'll be waiting for you!"

"..." Ye Xiaoxian was embarrassed first and then smiled.

Doriku is in his twenties. Even if a boy of this age makes a promise, he can't make it.

Back to the inn, I saw Xiao Baozhu settling accounts in bed.

She can calculate the accounts, so she takes care of the account books. After returning to the tribe, she will check them one by one with Liu Yuanwai.

Xiao Baozhu asked Ye Xiaoxian curiously, "how's the conversation? What did doriku say? Does he really like you?"

Ye Xiaoxian felt that Xiao Baozhu had grown up a lot and was no longer the ignorant little girl before, so she told her what happened tonight.

Xiao Baozhu listened and looked pitiful: "doriku is really miserable, and he is very affectionate. You said so, and he still doesn't give up."

Ye Xiaoxian smiled: "don't worry, he will give up. No one will wait for anyone all the time. The infatuated people in the world only exist in the script."

Referring to the script, Xiao Baozhu suddenly felt a burst of melancholy.

She was killed by the script.

Or Ye Xiaoxian is right. The stories in the storybook are deceptive.

However, she still expressed her admiration for ye Xiaoxian: "sister-in-law, in fact, I really envy you. Some people like you, and those who like you are the kind of particularly good men. They are very responsible at a glance."

Ye Xiaoxian took off her coat and lay on the bed. She rubbed the head of Xiao Baozhu: "maybe I'm lucky. However, if you're good enough, you can attract excellent people. Believe me, one day, you can meet a very excellent person who treats you very well."

Xiao Baozhu smiled and sighed: "don't think about these things, go to bed first, and discuss the price increase of beef jerky with boss Cai tomorrow."

……

After loading the goods in beihui City, the group returned the same way.

However, after the Gobi stall, everyone hesitated when entering the desert.

Can you really get out of the desert without old man Ji?

Doriku didn't hesitate for a long time. He turned around and shouted to everyone, "come with me, let me take you home!"

……

The way back was surprisingly smooth.

Because the cost of beef jerky has risen, they have made more money this time than the previous times.

Ye Xiaoxian plans to collect fresh cattle when she goes back, and then hire people from the tribe to make beef jerky for her and make her own sign.

She agreed with boss Cai that if the signboard is done well and big, it can go up again.

It's just that textile talents haven't been recruited, so cotton is still wholesale to boss CAI according to semi-finished products.

All the way back, doriku really stopped talking about his love for ye Xiaoxian.

Ye Xiaoxian deliberately kept a distance from him, and after he felt it, he kept a distance from ye Xiaoxian. Once he divided water in the desert, and then he hurried away.

……

In summer, Li Chengru came again.

Some time ago, he went back to the capital to report to his imperial brother Li Chengkun, who was the emperor. Seeing that Li Chengru loved running to Baoning City, Li Chengkun simply closed him a position and asked him to stay here for a long time, so as not to pose a threat to him in the capital.

Li Chengkun specially sent spies to Baoning city to inquire.

Li Chengyi is just a practical Prince now. Although he has been committed to developing the local economy, it is not so easy for the local economy to develop. After all, the traffic here is inconvenient and most people are poor.

Because of the poor economy, it is impossible to raise a large number of soldiers. Many of the soldiers brought by Qian Qi have been disbanded, and Baoning city is no threat to the capital.

Li Chengkun now just wants to get rid of those ministers who opposed him before, and then sit down steadily.

……

Li Chengru visited the Tianshan tribe this time, first, to inspect and second, to visit his former difficult friends.

In fact, ye Xiaoxian has always been concerned in his heart.

When he came, he happened to meet the camel team, came back from beihui city again, and happened to meet Liu Yuanwai, who was out shopping.

Liu told him about the situation since then.

Originally, he thought that the desert was at great risk and one or two camels would be lost. Unexpectedly, not only everyone was safe, but also there were no fewer camels. Li Chengru was relieved. At the same time, he believed that ye Xiaoxian and they could achieve great things.

Tianshan tribe's summer is cool and pleasant. The mountain wind blows and the ice landscape melts. There are green scenery everywhere.

Li Chengru found Ye Xiaoxian in such scenery.

She was slaughtering cattle with a butcher in a tribe. After the butcher divided the beef, she was responsible for pickling. Many wooden shelves were built next to her to dry her cured beef.

In the Central Plains, dried meat can only be dried in autumn, but it is dry all the year round and has strong ultraviolet rays, so dried meat can also be dried in summer.

The mountain wind blew, and the beef swayed in the wind.

Seeing Li Chengru, ye Xiaoxian greeted with a smile: "Oh, your Highness the seventh prince, you come to inspect the work?"

Li Chengru came down from the horse and put his hands on his chest: "I've visited so many places. People in any place see that I don't bow and bow again. You crafty people don't take this king as a prince."

Ye Xiaoxian shook her hands. Her hands were full of seasoning for pickled beef: "it's inconvenient. Please forgive your Highness the seventh prince."

"Well, it doesn't make sense to you tricksters."

At ordinary times, Li Chengru would feel sick when he saw someone's hands stained with so many spices, but the person in front of him was Ye Xiaoxian, but he felt that she was close and had the smell of fireworks he usually lacked.

"Do you have cured beef jerky?" Asked Li Chengru.

Ye Xiaoxian pointed to the yurt: "inside, you can eat whatever you like."

Li Chengru went inside to grab a handful and handed some to Fengsheng. While eating, he said, "I just met member Liu at the foot of the mountain. He told me about your situation. He said that now the transportation team is doing very well. You pickled the beef yourself and want to build your own sign."

Ye Xiaoxian said, "yes, the first step is beef jerky, then dairy products, dried fruits, etc. isn't cotton rich here? I still want to find someone to weave cloth. Unfortunately, I can't find a powerful one at present. If only I could weave cotton directly into exquisite cloth and sell it."

Li Chengru didn't speak, but he was meditating.

"What do you think?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.

Li Chengru asked, "how many cows do you kill every day now?"

"One end."

"Are you busy? If someone else does it?"

"Of course, the formula is in my hand. I just need to make the formula well, adjust and teach a few people."

Li Chengru asked, "is the dried fruit the same?"

"The same is true."

"The only problem at present is weaving? You can't weave cotton into exquisite cloth?" Asked Li Chengru.

Ye Xiaoxian nodded. She didn't know what Li Chengru was thinking.

Li Chengru took a hard bite of the beef and said, "I have a bold idea."

"Oh?" Ye Xiaoxian looked at him: "what a bold method?"

Li Chengru smiled: "come with me to meet my sixth brother!"

……

This is Ye Xiaoxian's second visit to Baoning city.

Baoning city has expanded a lot, more prosperous than when she first came, and the sixth palace has also expanded a little, but it is still relatively low-key.

Li Chengyi is as gentle as when he met last time, but he is a little tired because he has to worry about a lot of things, and the legal lines are a lot heavier.

Li Chengyi avoids Ye Xiaoxian's salute and gives tea and snacks. This time, he also calls out the six imperial concubines.

Ye Xiaoxian thought that the ancient imperial concubines must have looked very good, but judging from the general appearance of the six imperial concubines, their temperament was very virtuous and generous.

Li Chengyi first talked about Xiao Baofeng: "your brother is really a good seedling for reading. He is already qualified and works very hard. I met him a few days ago and tested him. He was able to recite the five classics. Moreover, he is not dead from reading. He will think by himself. I think he can test scholars in less than two years."

"The Lord praised me. The gentleman of the Lord's house taught me well." Ye Xiaoxian said politely.

When she arrived at the sixth Prince's residence, she naturally became cautious and could not treat the sixth prince with the attitude of dealing with Li Chengru.

Li Chengyi smiled again and then asked about the tribe: "I heard from the seventh brother that your camel team was very successful. It's impossible for ordinary people to cross the desert with so many materials. You're really great."

Ye Xiaoxian was not used to such praise. She thought: are the six princes best at praising people, so his followers were loyal one by one.
