In addition to buying grain, Huju also bought a batch of pig iron from Xizhou.

Because of this pig iron sale, the Xizhou Army agreed to come to the aid of Hu Ju, and the food and grass owed by Hu Ju could be delayed for a while.

The workshop has been building arrows.

The mold brought by Yan Laoer was used. After the re-engraving, all the iron arrowheads of Huju will be based on this size as the standard.

Yan Huaiwen brought back many disaster victims from Gufeng, and they were scattered in various villages in the territory.

The unoccupied old houses in the village were temporarily lent to them for repairs, and the land was zoned out, so that they could go to the government office to pick up and sow seeds in the spring of the next year.

Xiao'an Village also took in a group of people, including the folks from Da'an Village who were closely related to them, and a few other families.

Among them, there is a family with a family tradition of blacksmithing. With the full support of Xiao'an Village, they set up a smelting furnace and resumed the blacksmithing business.

Pig iron is under the control of the government, and Mr. Tian made it easier for him. Xiao'an Village raised funds to buy iron tools and a batch of pig iron, which were counted as temporary loans. The Sha blacksmith and his son began to burn furnaces and hammer iron to pay off the debts.

The iron arrow is the simplest. With a mold, just pour hot molten iron into it, cool it and trim it.

Blacksmith Sha’s other big order was given by Yan Yu. In order to facilitate the villagers to travel in winter, a portable furnace was built on demand. The inside is made of iron sheet, and the outside is covered with cement, so the temperature is not so high.

The furnace cylinder is neither high nor heavy, and it can be easily picked up by children, making it very convenient to move.

People in Xiao'an Village now take it with them when they go out. Putting a rough iron net on it can put a pot to boil water, and with an iron hook, it is very convenient whether it is hooking the iron net or pulling out the furnace barrel.

Usually they burn firewood, they can pick it up on the ground, but in a snowy day like today, it is better to burn charcoal, which is warmer.

Someone who sold firewood came to cut a few ounces of meat, Luo San didn't think it was a small business, and the residents in the city gradually knew that there were people pulling meat to sell here every five or six days, not necessarily what kind of meat, but some Sometimes it's roe deer, sometimes it's hare and pheasant, and occasionally there's fish. If you want to eat some meat, you can come here and buy some. It's cheaper than the butcher stalls in the city.

Not many came to sell firewood today, and Luo San closed the stall early after the children finished their work.

Yan Laoer and Luo San cooperated to tie the firewood on the cart with hemp rope and tied it tightly.

Da Gouzi found a small quilt, wrapped it on the stove, and carried it into the head car.

The children sat in a circle, and each found out their own little quilts to cover their bodies. They also left a hole, which was reserved for Luo San.

"Third Uncle, come quickly!" Si Tie shouted.

"Come on, come on!" Luo San responded, and finally checked the connected cars to make sure they were all tied up, then turned to Yan's second brother, "Second Brother Yan, let's go."

"Well, be careful."

Luo San jumped onto the front cart, grabbed the reins and stood up, whipped the whip in his hand, the leading mule started to run, and the mules and donkeys behind followed, pulling several carts in a row.

When Luo Sanyi sat down, the children covered him with quilts, Luo San could only feel the warmth behind him.

He retracted his neck and pulled up the mask, only showing a pair of eyes looking at the road.

"Go home!"

...

Yan Yu didn't want to go out because her charcoal business was improving.

More and more firewood and charcoal have been collected, and some money has been saved, but she is not in a hurry.

The daily sales volume of Yongning City is increasing, and it has only entered September, and she has raised the price once, and the market accepts it well.

More and more people choose to deliver goods to their door, and every extra bundle is worth a few cents.

She plans to enter Gufeng next step and copy Huju's old path.

According to her judgment, the firewood collected from Huju and Yongning's surrounding areas will not be able to cover the expenses of the prefecture soon. They can collect firewood from Huju, why can't Gu Feng, the distance is almost the same.

But for Long Xing Fengming's route, she had to take the villagers first to show them a way, so as not to leave them covered and lost...

The further upstream they went, the colder it became. When they came back from Fengming, both sides of the river had already started to freeze.

If the goose-feather-like snowman stands still, it will turn into a snowman in a blink of an eye. Half of the drifting snow will be saved, and the ground will be muddy when there is sunshine, and it will freeze again at night, day and night.

Fortunately, the return journey went smoothly, and it didn't feel so cold when we arrived in Longxing, especially when we entered Yongning.

Seeing the familiar small pier, the big guy docked the raft and tied it up skillfully.

Yan Yu took a deep breath, and the coolness entered his lungs.

Looking at the leisurely little snowflakes in the sky.

She sighed in her heart: That's great, at least Huju is colder and gentler than Fengming, no, it's too gentle.

No wonder the northerners are used to cat winter, it’s freezing cold, why not go outside and sit on the warm kang head at home, doesn’t it smell good?

"Uncle Qi, why don't you run for a while, let the village drive a car to pick us up." Yan Yu said.

Qi Sin gave a hum, jumped ashore and ran wildly.

...

"Is it still cold? Mom will rub your feet." Li Xuemei said that she was about to start, but her body was heavy, and she couldn't reach it when she reached forward.

"It's not cold, mother, our kang is so hot that I'm sweating, and my hands and feet have recovered, look..." Yan Yu smiled and moved her toes: "Hee hee, are you not flexible?!"

Da Ya carried the hot water, and Nanny Rong brought in large and small pots.

Seeing this posture, Yan Yu thought it was not good.

"Sister, I'll wash it myself."

Da Ya is very firm: "Lie down first, sister will wash your hair for you first, and after washing your hair, you sit in the basin, and sister will rub mud for you."

Yan Yu: Hey, hey, I don't want to be rubbed...

An hour later.

White with red in it, the fragrant little one is fresh out of the basin.

Yan Yu hurriedly dried herself and put on the clothes her mother found out, shook off the clothes and got into bed.

The action is done in one go.

Da Ya and Nanny Rong poured water out of the basin.

Li Xuemei put cream on her daughter's face and hands.

Yan Yu obediently let her play with her, twisted her face, stretched out her hand.

She hadn't lay down so comfortably for a long time, and it was inconvenient to go anywhere outside. She was enjoying herself when she heard the door knocking, followed by light footsteps, and she turned her head to look.

It's sunny.

The little girl held her cloth towel and smiled shyly when she saw her, then walked over bravely and wiped her hair with the cloth towel.

Her movements are very unskilled, but she is attentive enough to be careful not to hurt her.

"Qing'er, you don't need to wipe it. I'll put it on the kang to dry later." Yan Yu said.

But the little girl was very persistent, and the speed of her little hand accelerated a little.

"Little sister, I can do well, don't worry, it will be over soon." Qing'er said softly.

What else can Yan Yu say, if the little one wants to find something to do, then do it.

She simply lay flat and slowly closed her eyes. After a while, a slight cry sounded.
