Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 104
"Haha, luckily I hid quickly!" Song Changning laughed and continued to make snowballs.

Fang Yao also followed the snowball ball, and threw it towards Song Changning after the ball was finished.

Song Changning didn't pay attention to Fang Yao's direction, and was hit straight away without paying attention.

"Haha!" Fang Yao laughed, and before she could be proud, she was hit by a snowball from Wu Yushuang.

Seeing Fang Yao's dumbfounded expression, Wu Yushuang couldn't help laughing, "Yao'er has to be careful."

Everyone laughed and a scuffle started.

By the end of the melee, everyone had snowflakes on their bodies and some had wet hair.

"Haha, so happy!" Zhou Yue breathed a long sigh of relief. Although she was a little tired, she was really happy. She understood why in her previous life it was said that childhood happiness could cure everything.

The girls were so tired that they sat on the snow, panting heavily, looked at each other, and laughed again.

When they were in the capital, they either studied piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and nvren in the mansion, or attended banquets of various families. They followed the rules and maintained their manners. They couldn't do this or that. Only today did they feel the freedom and joy.

This snowball fight made several young people familiar with each other, and the atmosphere became much more lively.

"Don't leave, you all drink a bowl of cold-dispelling medicinal soup at my place before leaving." Zhou Yue said.

A group of people nodded one after another. Their clothes and shoes were quite wet, and some snow got into their necks along their collars. They had just finished exercising and they still didn't feel the cold, so they probably would feel it after a short rest.

Zhou Yue took out some medicines and asked Qian Guilan to cook them in a large pot, with a few slices of ginger thrown in. After a while, the decoction to dispel the cold was ready.

"Come, come, come and drink a bowl." Zhou Yue beckoned them into the room, took out a bowl of soup and medicine.

After drinking, these people all returned to their respective courtyards. They didn't usually exercise much. Except for Song Changning, everyone else was very tired.

The three of Zhou Lin also had a great time. Now that they are free, the three of them get together to study the "36 Strategies" that Zhou Yue gave before.

Zhou Yue saw that they were engaged in studying, so she stopped disturbing them and returned to her room.

After closing the door, Zhou Yue entered the space. Remembering that it had been a long time since she smelted gold bars, she took out some gold sand from the basement and began to skillfully melt it with fire.

The fox surrounded her. Seeing her actions, he was a little confused and shrugged his nose. This thing didn't look like food and had no fragrance.

Zhou Yue saw through its expression and explained: "This is smelting gold. Gold can be used as money and can be exchanged for many things."

The fox looked carefully at the gold sand next to Zhou Yue, and even came forward to smell it. Until he saw the gold sand gradually melting under the action of fire and turning into liquid, he was still a little confused and expressed that he did not understand.

Zhou Yue poured the melted gold into the mold, watered it to cool, and a gold bar was ready.

The fox looked around for a while, and felt nothing interesting, so he turned and went back to the living room, imitating Zhou Yue's way, turning on the TV, using the remote control to press the channel of cat and mouse, watching with relish.

The next morning, Zhou Yue got up early and opened the door to check the weather today.

The weather is sunny, but the temperature has dropped and the snow has not melted.

Walking to Zhou Jiacheng's side, Qian Guilan was making breakfast and Zhou Jiacheng was helping to light the fire.

"Father, the weather is fine today, so we can go on our way." Zhou Yue said.

"Yeah, it's a bit cold, but the sun is still pretty good." Zhou Jiacheng looked at the sky outside.

"Zhou Qing, go tell them and set off after dinner." Zhou Jiacheng said to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing nodded, "Okay, I'll notify them and let them get ready." After that, he walked out of the room.

After the meal, everyone led the carriage out of the yard, packed their luggage, and prepared to leave.

Zhou Jiacheng's ox cart was walking in front. The snow on the roads in the county town had been cleared, making it easier to walk. After leaving the city, the road was so white that the original road could not be seen.

We had no choice but to move forward. The ox cart made a creaking sound on the snow as it moved forward.

The team walked twice as slowly as usual. By noon, they had not yet reached the next county seat.

Zhou Jiacheng stopped the ox cart and decided to rest here first and leave after lunch.

Everyone set up the stove and started cooking lunch.

Zhou Lin and the other three went to collect firewood, but they searched around but couldn't find any suitable ones. After the snow, the wood was too wet to be used as firewood.

The three of them came back with damp wood. Qian Guilan saw that the three of them were depressed, so she couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Lin put the firewood on the ground, pointed to it and said, "We didn't find any suitable firewood around. After the snow fell, the branches and logs were too wet."

Qian Guilan was also in trouble, how could she cook without firewood?
Zhou Yue saw several people stunned on the spot, and walked over, "What's going on?"

"Without dry firewood, there is no way to cook." Zhou Ming said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yue turned to look at the other families in the team and found that they were also worried about having no firewood and were helpless with the wet wood.

The village chief walked up to Zhou Jiacheng, frowned and said, "Jiacheng, this firewood is too wet, and the torch won't light at all."

"Village chief, don't worry, let's think of a solution." Zhou Jiacheng comforted him.

Zhou Yue suddenly remembered that she had cut some pine branches when picking pine cones. The wood was highly oily and easy to ignite.

"Brother, go look for pine trees nearby and chop some pine branches back. That one is easier to light." Zhou Yue said to Zhou Lin and the others.

"Okay, let's go look for it!" The three of them nodded and walked towards the woods in the distance.

After hearing Zhou Yue's arrangement, Wang Zheng also volunteered to take a few people to look for the pine tree.

"Use a knife to split the wet firewood. The middle should be dry. Cut out the dry wood separately, and you can use it later." Zhou Yue said to the rest of the people.

Everyone hurriedly followed suit, splitting the wet wood with a knife, splitting the dry part separately, and putting it aside.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhou Lin and Wang Zheng returned, each holding a pile of pine branches with leaves in their hands.

"Come and get some pine branches from each of your families. There is oil in the pine wood, and it will be burnt at one point. First, burn the dry wood that has been split, and surround it with wet wood. After baking for a while, it will be burnt." Zhou Yue faced the back people said.

There is a lot of grease in the pine tree, which makes it a good fire starter.

The people in the team followed Zhou Yue's instructions and took some pine branches back. Sure enough, they caught fire at one point.

Looking at the smoke rising from each house, Zhou Jiacheng felt relieved. In such a cold day, it is impossible to do without a fire.

Fang Yao took the shoes she had just made and sighed. It was finally done. Her hands were pricked several times, but it was still worth it.

"Are you making this for the Fourth Young Master? Why do you suddenly want to learn how to make shoes? You can't be a female college student." Mrs. Fang joked.
