Chapter 481 Destiny
More than half a month has passed.
Today is the day of Great Heat, the hottest day of the year.
However, Xu Wenyan felt that this place was no different from anywhere else. Fortunately, the house was by the river and had a fan.
Otherwise Xu Wenyan would really feel like she was going crazy due to the heat.
Again, air conditioning is one of the greatest inventions of mankind.
It was early morning and the sky was slightly bright. Xu Wenyan and Xiaoman came to the vegetable field.
The backpack behind him was already filled with a roll of beans.
Standing in the field, there are beans everywhere on the left and right, in front and behind. Xu Wenyan's family has been eating beans for a week.
Other vegetables need to be sold, only these beans and zucchini are in abundance.
Xu Wenyan even wondered if these two vegetables could perform magic.
I just picked them yesterday, why are there still so many?
"Xiao Man, are you done picking?"
"Yeah, the melons are growing again. I guess they will be full in a couple of days."
Xu Wenyan straightened his back: "If every kind of vegetable and fruit is as worry-free as these two, I won't have to worry about selling them."
At the beginning, Xu Wenyan planted more beans and zucchini because he thought they would produce a lot of them.
In the past half month, I have made more than 200 taels of silver from selling vegetables alone, and after deducting the workers' wages, I have more than 160 taels of silver left.
Xu Wenyan will pay the deposit after the blacksmith finishes the previous batch of goods.
Xu Wenyan became rich, and the blacksmith also became rich. How should I put it? This is because wealth came too suddenly.
After loading the vegetables onto the cart, Xu Wenyan drove the carriage towards the county.
Chen Sanlin and three other people went to the grassland to transport ore, and Xiaoman stayed at home to watch over the workers.
This is the fastest solution to be discussed later.
As for why Xu Wenyan dared to deliver the vegetables himself, the explosives in his hand were no joke.
As long as there aren't thousands of people coming, there won't be any problem.
"Hey, Brother Chen is here to sell vegetables again." The soldiers at the county gate are now quite familiar with Xu Wenyan.
Xu Wenyan recognized almost all the gatekeepers on duty, and at the very least he could say hello and chat with them.
"Well, now is the time when vegetables grow fast." After all, people here are not picky and will buy vegetables as long as they are available.
Xu Wenyan originally had more than ten acres of land, but now it has gradually expanded to about thirty acres.
But most of them are newly planted, so we have to wait for a while for them to mature.
Even so, Xu Wenyan complained that it was not enough.
When he arrived at Uncle Murati's place, Murati told him that Lord Lin was looking for him and asked him to bring a cart of vegetables with him.
Xu Wenyan was puzzled. She had always delivered some dishes to Lin Zhengjie before, but today she came to ask for them herself.
In this way, the carriage was driven to the county magistrate's mansion.
"Brother Chen, you are finally here. Lord Lin is waiting inside." The guard at the gate of the county government office took the reins from Xu Wenyan and said attentively.
Xu Wenyan nodded: "Thank you for your help."
Stepping into the county government office, you will find that its layout today is very unique and has been specially decorated.
"You're here." Lin Zhengjie was wearing a brand new official uniform today.
Even the beard on his temples had been trimmed: "Who is Lord Lin going to meet today?" Xu Wenyan joked.
"Today, a big shot from the county is coming. I'll give you the money for the food later."
"Big man?"
Lin Zhengjie led Xu Wenyan out and said, "General Huo is coming. You didn't expect that, did you?"
When mentioning General Huo, Lin Zhengjie's eyes were full of envy and admiration.
During a previous chat, Lin Zhengjie had said that he wanted to learn martial arts rather than literature, but he had no talent and the martial arts schools in Feng County would not accept him.
General Huo Min could be said to be the martial god of the Lin Kingdom, so of course he was envious.
"Oh?" Xu Wenyan didn't expect that the person coming would be General Huo.
I heard about this legendary figure two years ago.
I didn't expect to see his true appearance.
Because General Huo came to Lan County in secret, it was not announced.
Soon, Magistrate Lu came in with a smile. Besides his advisor, there was also a young and handsome man beside him.
The man was about six or seven feet tall, probably around 1.9 meters.
Before meeting General Huo, Xu Wenyan thought he was a tough guy with a fierce look and a lively look.
But if you look closely at General Huo, you will see that he has a standard diamond-shaped face, and his smile is gentle and elegant, and his whole face looks very clean and refreshed.
If he wasn't wearing a soldier's uniform, Xu Wenyan would have thought he was a young man from a wealthy family.
"General Huo, my name is Lin. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you in person." Lin Zhengjie went over excitedly.
Huo Min's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled softly: "I've heard that Mr. Lin's top scorer in the high school last year is really a young and promising man with a handsome appearance."
His voice is strong and powerful, which is somewhat inconsistent with his appearance, but it is not a rough voice.
When Huo Min shook hands with Lin Zhengjie, his eyes were looking at Xu Wenyan.
The two looked at each other, but Huo Min smiled at Xu Wenyan, as if he was treating an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Xu Wenyan was a little puzzled and nodded at Huo Min with a smile.
For the next half hour, Lin Zhengjie was comforting Huo Min and chatting about some strange things on the battlefield.
Xu Wenyan also found it interesting. When he got closer, he could see that General Huo had a very small scar on his right eyebrow.
The scar has healed, but eyebrows no longer grow in the injured area, which adds a bit of wild beauty to Huo Min's handsome face.
The calluses on his hands were very thick, and there were deep sword marks on his palms. He must be an expert in swordplay.
The food was soon served, and after Xu Wenyan and the adults finished their meal, they prepared to leave.
Next, they will definitely talk about government affairs, and Xu Wenyan is not a person who doesn't have tact.
Xu Wenyan saluted to them and said, "General Huo, Lord Lin, and Magistrate Lu, I am sorry for offending you, but I will leave now."
"I've always wanted to ask who this handsome young man is. It seems like we have a connection." Huo Min still had a smile on his face.
Lin Zhengjie pulled Xu Wenyan over to Huo Min and said, "I have known this brother for a long time. We met by chance at the frontier. Today, I want to bring him to see the true face of General Huo."
Here, Lin Zhengjie calls Xu Wenyan "brother", which also gives Xu Wenyan a higher status.
"Yes." Huo Min stretched out his hand towards Xu Wenyan: "Nice to meet you. My name is Huo Min."
"Xu Wenyan." Xu Wenyan stretched out his hand. His name was no longer a secret in the county government, so Xu Wenyan didn't have to worry here.
The two shook hands, and Xu Wenyan could feel Huo Min's hand exerting force: "Wen Yan? It's a good name."
"I always feel a sense of familiarity when I see Brother Xu. Have we met before?"
Xu Wenyan clenched his palms, as Huo Min's grip was already a little painful.
"I don't think I've ever met General Huo."
"Well, I've never seen it before." Huo Min stared at Xu Wenyan thoughtfully.
"Um... General Huo, I am weak and your grip hurts me a little."
Huo Min quickly let go: "Sorry, it was my fault. I will treat Brother Xu to a drink and apologize tomorrow."
Xu Wenyan didn't say anything, just smiled, nodded, and left.
After going out, Xu Wenyan rubbed his palms.
This person is really incomprehensible.
