Happiness System - Chapter 786: Fake Gold 12

Only then did Bo Rongxuan realize that her brother and cousin came over for important business involving a secret recipe, so she tactfully left with her two maids and two guards, under the pretext of going out to play.

According to Sheng Yunyou, there is no need for that, because she may not necessarily see the steps involved in the secret recipe, and it doesn't matter if she remembers them. The Tianchu Kingdom has strict controls on this aspect. Even if she learns it, she can only burn a few kilns for her own use in winter at most!

After Bo Rongxuan left, Sheng Yunyou and Bo Jingyao first watched the craftsmen fire a kiln, then the two whispered a few words, and Bo Jingyao asked the craftsmen to make adjustments and fire another kiln.

In addition, based on field investigations, two charcoal kilns were requisitioned to test the secret recipe.

The Bo family has not valued this place over the years, and the welfare they have here is just like this. They will not get any reward just because they burn two more kilns of charcoal, so it doesn’t matter!

It takes at least one day for a kiln of charcoal to burn and cool down, so the next day Bo Jingyao took his two female relatives to the mountains to hunt.

Sheng Yunyou actually didn't want to go at all. The clothes on his body were very heavy in this winter, so how could he climb up there to hunt?

But seeing how enthusiastic Bo Rongxuan was, she didn't want to pour cold water on him so she could only grit her teeth and follow him.

Bo Jingyao also knew how to have fun. He coaxed Bo Rongxuan, a girl who had never seen the world, into being very happy all the way and she never complained of being tired once.

At noon, they found a place near a water source, roasted the pheasants and rabbits hunted by Bo Jingyao, and ate some dry food, which was a unique and wild experience.

After coming down the mountain in the afternoon, Sheng Yunyou was completely exhausted. After taking a hot spring bath with Bo Rongxuan, he came back and lay down to rest without even getting up for dinner.

Although she has the body of a young lady, she is in very poor condition because of the ill-treatment from her adoptive mother and her own prudence that makes her not even dare to eat more than two bites of food.

She didn't want to take bitter medicine, so she had to take her time with dietary supplements.

Zi Luo naturally knew about her master's physical condition. Seeing that she slept well, she did not wake her up for dinner. She just went to the kitchen to get some vegetables, set a small stove on fire to stew a soup, and kneaded some dough to let it rise. If the master woke up tonight, they could get her something to eat in the courtyard!

However, Sheng Yunyou slept well that night and did not wake up until the next morning.

Knowing that Bo Jingyao was sitting in her yard, Sheng Yunyou invited him in after washing up, "Why are you here so early? It seems that the charcoal burned over there is quite good?"

Seeing Sheng Yunyou nod, Bo Jingyao asked someone to bring in the charcoal and several braziers.

When she finished her breakfast, several braziers were burning brightly.

Sheng Yunyou walked over and put his hand on the brazier to feel the temperature, then walked away and started drinking tea with Bo Jingyao.

Bo Jingyao knew that Sheng Yunyou didn't like beating around the bush, so he said bluntly: "Binglun and I have been exchanging letters, and I learned from him that you have a recipe for improving the soil and increasing crop yields."

You may not know that Tianchu has been hit by natural disasters in recent years, and various places either need to reduce or exempt taxes or provide disaster relief, resulting in an empty treasury.

On the border side, the imperial court paid less than 50% of the cost of supporting the soldiers, and the rest had to be borne by the border troops themselves.

During the truce, the soldiers had to take turns to farm. Although the land there was vast and sparsely populated, the soil was barren and the yield was extremely low. "

He lowered his voice and continued, "Our Bo family used to be military commanders, but for some reasons, my father and uncles later became scholars. By my generation, except for me, the rest of the Bo family will probably become scholars as well.

Sheng Yunyou nodded. She had carefully looked into the Bo family's network of relationships and found that the aunt was the biological sister of the late Mr. Bo.

Although both elders have passed away, the relationship between the two families is still very good. Knowing the difficulties at the border, the Bo family sends nearly one-third of their output over there every year.

Even if Bo Jingyao was not on the list of people going to the border next New Year, he would ask for the prescription and ask his confidants to deliver it as quickly as possible after knowing about it.

Sheng Yunyou had never thought about these things before. At that time, she didn't want to stay in the Bo family for too long, and she didn't think much about it afterwards.

Bo Jingyao was sent to the border when he was twelve years old, and stayed there for four years. He did not return to the imperial capital until he was sixteen and could be appointed as an official. When he first entered the barracks, he had no special privileges, but he did farm with those soldiers!

Sheng Yunyou adjusted the recipe and wrote a new one, then sighed. The soldiers on the border had a hard life. In addition to lack of food, they also lacked meat. Years of training had no high-energy, high-protein food to supplement, and their bodies broke down particularly quickly as they got older.

She really wants to get out that book on sow postpartum care!

It's a pity that the text and paper are not equal, so it's useless for her to take it out!

"It's not that I'm embarrassed, I just think the soldiers at the border have a hard time!" Then she put the pen in his hand, "I'll read it to you while you write it!"

Bo Jingyao became more and more solemn as he wrote, but he still waited quietly for Sheng Yunyou to finish reading.

After putting down the pen, he said, "Yun You, these things are too valuable!" You shouldn't hand them over easily.

Eh? You don't call me sister anymore?

In fact, raising livestock at the border doesn’t just require a recipe, you also need food, but there’s not enough food for people to eat. This is a vicious circle, and I don’t know if this thing is right or wrong.”

"There are always more solutions than problems. These are things we men should solve. You women just need to stay safe and take care of yourselves."

Seeing his cousin crying, Bo Jingyao suddenly had the urge to hold her in his arms and comfort her.

He clenched his fist to control his emotions, "Sister Yunyou, pack up your things, and we will go back to the city after lunch."

She is a poor woman now, so she saves as much as she can.

The important thing is that this year is a cold winter. In previous years, it would take a month before snowing, but this year the first snow will fall in half a month.

Now she has two charcoal braziers in her room but it’s still not very warm. If the temperature drops further, the indoor temperature may not even remain at the current 15 degrees!

By then, she would have to dress like a bear when indoors during the day, and she would feel even less energetic and more like hibernating!

Bo Jingyao also knew that she was afraid of the cold. She didn't like going out to begin with, and after early winter she was too lazy to even leave the dormitory.

He looked at the several charcoal basins in the room. A few kilns of charcoal should be enough for her to have a warm winter!

At noon, the shops in the city happened to come to collect charcoal, so Bo Jingyao arranged for them to take back Sheng Yunyou's charcoal first, and specifically reminded them that these were the cousin's things and not from the Bo family.

These people don't know that the charcoal kiln produces good charcoal. On weekdays, they will also send their own charcoal to the mansion. However, these charcoals are used by the important stewards and maids in the mansion. The masters use charcoal bought from other families at their own expense!

I finally understood why everyone was so happy this time. I originally thought that the master came here to have fun and enjoy the scenery. So that's it! So that's it!

At the moment, these people were extremely happy. Their charcoal kiln produced good charcoal. Maybe when the boss was doing the accounting at the end of the year, he would be so happy that he would give everyone a reward. Then, they could have a prosperous new year!

Bo Rongxuan was a little unhappy when she heard the news that she had to go back. She had just arrived and hadn't had enough fun yet. Although there were many inconveniences here, it was also new. No woman who had been locked up in the back house for so many years could resist the novelty of the wild!

However, she knew that her brother was busy with official duties and it was not easy for him to spare two days, so she did not make a fuss. Instead, she took Sheng Yunyou to the vegetable garden in the farm and said that she wanted to pick some cabbage and white radish for her family.

Bo Rongxuan looked at the pile of vegetables in front of her with a confused look on her face, "Sister Yunyou, just taste a little of this dish, it's a waste if you pick so many."

Sheng Yunyou shook his head, "It won't be wasted. The white cabbage and bamboo shoots can be made into delicious pickles. Sister Xuan will wait for you later. After it's done, Yunyou will send some for you to taste."

Make some kimchi first, and when it snows, buy some beef and mutton for a barbecue. It will be perfect with this kimchi!

Seeing her mysterious look, Bo Rongxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You only know how to fool people!"

However, as a military general, Bo Jingyao felt more comfortable riding a horse!
