My hotel is ancient and modern

Chapter 254

Just as Chen Wenjiu and the villagers of Yujia Village were picking thorn fruits in the thorn fruit forest, a carriage slowly came to the fruit forest outside Yujia Village.

After the carriage stopped, the tall groom who was driving jumped down, took a bench from the carriage and put it on the ground, and then said to the people in the carriage, "Master, we have arrived in Yujia Village."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a man wearing a fluffy fox fur hat got out of the carriage. His figure was covered by a thick fox fur cloak, but the man looked extraordinarily rich and gorgeous.

The man has a young and handsome face. If Yu Xiaoguo sees this face, he will be able to recognize that this is the young master Li who he has always liked.

Li Yan, who is also the young master of Li's Commercial Company in Qin Province, has taken over most of the family's business from his father since he was 18 years old. Five years later, he is now a business tycoon who has almost completely controlled all the businesses of Li's Commercial Company. .

"Let's go and have a look." Li Yan said to the groom.

Li Yan had already noticed the changes in Yujia Village three months ago. Ninety percent of the people in Yujia Village who originally planned to flee with their families stayed, and they were even able to take in the nearby people when they were helpless. them.

People in Yujia Village planted trees near the village with great enthusiasm three months ago, guarding against the leaves and bark from the hungry people.Of course, he also knew that there was a lot of pasture growing in these woods. Although the people in Yujia Village could not allow people to eat the bark and leaves, they would cut back some pasture every once in a while.

These pastures are indeed grown to feed poultry and livestock, but the shoots of alfalfa can be eaten by humans. In addition, some of these pastures grown in Yujia Village can be eaten by humans, anyway, poultry and livestock can eat , People can't eat people to death.

Relying on these pastures, they not only raised a batch of poultry and livestock in Yujia Village, but also kept the refugees who were not from Yujia Village nearby alive.

Li Yan did indeed do good deeds during this period, but the Northwest side is not as rich as the Jiangnan side, and their Li family's grain storage is not so much.This year's severe drought also caused a lot of losses to Li's Trading Company, and he had no spare energy to save more people.

Unexpectedly, Yujiacun survived on his own.

Moreover, they also planted more than 200 acres of trees, and it was really puzzling to him that they could get better and better in the past three months.

Li Yan had the idea of ​​finding out, and he wanted to see what the fruits of the fruit trees planted by the people in Yujia Village looked like. If they were good, they could buy them from the Li's Trading Company.

Yu Xiaoguo led the children in the village to shuttle through the fruit forest. The pasture on the ground had been harvested when the villagers planned to harvest the thorn fruit, so now everyone will not trample the pasture if they step on it. .

Yu Xiaoguo, who was secretly picking thorns and thorns to eat, saw the carriage beside the fruit forest, and also saw Li Yan wearing a fox fur cloak, his eyes lit up immediately, "Master Li!"

"Master Li? What Master Li?"

"Who are you calling, Xiaoguo?"

Yu Xiaoguo's friends didn't follow Yu Chunsheng to the city as often as he did, and it was even more impossible for them to meet Li Yan, so they were all wondering who he was calling.

"Master Li, Master Li from Coal City, don't you know?" Yu Xiaoguo said to his friends.

"Young Master Li from Coal City? Is that the one who is good-looking and powerful?" the friends asked suspiciously.

"That's right, it's Young Master Li." Yu Xiaoguo nodded.

Li Yan is quite famous in Coal City. After all, Li's firm is very famous in Qin Province. Li Yan is young and promising, and has connections with the Northwest Army, which makes him even more famous.

"Wow, so this is Young Master Li? He looks so good."

"Yes, Young Master Li looks good."

Li Yan is indeed very elegant and handsome. Compared with a businessman, he looks more like a scholar who has read poetry and books, and that kind of refined and elegant temperament is really strong.

"Hello." Li Yan greeted Yu Xiaoguo and the others with a smile, "I want to find your village chief, can you guide me?"

"Okay, okay." Yu Xiaoguo and the others nodded cheerfully, "Grandpa, the village head, is picking fruit over there. Master Li, come with us."

Li Yan and Song Zhuang, the groom behind him, followed Yu Xiaoguo and the others to find the village head. On the way, Yu Xiaoguo picked a red thorn fruit and handed it to him, "Master Li, try the one grown in our village. The fruit is delicious."

Li Yan looked at the fruit that was about the size of a grape handed to him, took it naturally, and thanked Yu Xiaoguo.

"Master..." Song Zhuang watched Li Yan take the thorn fruit and wipe it on his clothes before eating, so he stopped him quickly.How can you eat casually outside?What if I eat a bad stomach?
"It's okay." Li Yan shook his head and said, but he saw that the children of Tai Xiaoguo and the others picked the thorn fruit directly from the tree and ate it. He was sure that this thing would not spoil his stomach, so don't worry.

Li Yan took a sip, and found that the thorn fruit tastes really good, the juice is rich, sweet and delicious, and it is not much different from other fruits. Although it does not taste like a berry, it is delicious, with a slight sour taste The bitterness and bitterness will not make people feel unpalatable, but it will relieve the greasy sweetness.

This fruit called thorn fruit is indeed delicious, and he has seen that the yield should be good. With so many fruit trees planted in Yujia Village, it will be able to harvest 20 million catties of fruit by then.

"Grandpa Village Chief, Young Master Li is looking for you!" Yu Xiaoguo and the others brought Li Yan to the village chief and shouted loudly before he arrived.

"Ah? Master Li?" The village chief is getting old. He didn't want to leave when he fled the famine. He knew that walking with him when he was old would drag down his children, but his children didn't give up. He walks together.

As a result, they only walked for a day and returned the same way. Now that they returned to Yujia Village, they lived better than before when there was no famine. The old village chief was very happy.

Today is the day of thorn fruit picking. It doesn't matter if the village head is old. He still picks fruits with the villagers and puts the picked fruits into the basket.

When he was working in full swing, he heard the shouts of Yu Xiaoguo and his children, and he was very puzzled.

Master Li?It sounds familiar, who is it?
"Grandpa Village Chief, Young Master Li from Coal City is looking for you." Before Yu Xiaoguo could speak, another skinny little boy among his friends answered.

As for the title of "Young Master Li of Coal City", he had just heard Yu Xiaoguo say it, and after remembering it, he hurriedly expressed it to the old village chief.

"Master Li from Coal City?" The old village chief thought about it for a while, and then suddenly realized, "Oh oh, is it Young Master Li from the Li family in Chang'an?"

Young Master Li of Coal City came to Coal City because of Li Yan's business. He stayed there for a long time for a while, and after he became famous, everyone liked to call him "Master Li of Coal City".

But in fact, Li's family is from Chang'an City, and Li Yan's parents and relatives are all in Chang'an City, but he often travels to other cities in Qin Province, or to Jin Province next door. .
