Since Fang Xiaoyu was riding very slowly, the Xia sisters had no choice but to restrain their horses and walk side by side with Fang Xiaoyu. The three of them talked and laughed happily. With two beauties accompanying them, Fang Xiaoyu felt in a good mood. The three of them talked,
Xia Tingyun suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Where is that mountain?" Xia Tingwei looked at it and said with a smile, "That's Luoyun Mountain, the largest mountain near the capital. When we get here, we are already thirty kilometers away from the capital."
Xia Tingyun suggested: "I have a suggestion. Let's race to see who reaches the bottom of the mountain first."
Before Fang Xiaoyu could object, Xia Tingyun rushed out on horseback, and Xia Tingwei also followed with a smile. Fang Xiaoyu shouted from behind: "This is not fair, you are bullying people, if you can dismount, let's race." Xia Tingyun's voice was like a silver bell.
The laughter came, and she shouted: "Hurry up, the last one is the turtle." Fang Xiaoyu said anxiously: "Little girl, this turtle can't talk nonsense, do you want me to be a cuckold in the future?"
Fang Xiaoyu undoubtedly ranked last in this competition. Looking at Fang Xiaoyu who arrived slowly, the Xia sisters who had already arrived were already a little anxious. Xia Tingyun smiled and said: "Brother Yu, you will be a turtle from now on.
." Fang Xiaoyu glared at her and said: "You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. What a turtle, be careful if you talk nonsense, I won't want you in the future." Xia Tingyun rolled her eyes at him: "Whether you want to love me or not, I won't necessarily marry you.
." Fang Xiaoyu glared at her and was about to retort. When he saw the two of them starting to butt heads again, Xia Tingwei quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's go back after a short rest. It's getting late."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and stopped arguing with Xia Tingyun. He wiped his sweat and looked around. Suddenly a stone caught his attention. Fang Xiaoyu got off his horse and ran over quickly. He grabbed the stone and looked through it carefully. It was light gray.
, it was indeed limestone. He dug up shallow soil layers in several places nearby and observed carefully, and found that there were continuous limestones under the entire soil layer. It was estimated that more than half of the entire mountain was made of these stones. This discovery made
Fang Xiaoyu was very excited. With so much limestone, he could produce cement by himself. With cement, he could do many things. First of all, he had to repair the road near the villa to avoid being too bumpy when making a carriage.
Fang Xiaoyu was thinking about the benefits of having cement when the Xia sisters had already dismounted and walked over. Xia Tingyun patted Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Brother Yu, why are you giggling here after digging for so long?" Fang Xiaoyu looked back at Xia Tingyun.
Tingyun said: "Nothing, nothing, I'm just interested in this stone." Then he asked: "Whose property is this Luoyun Mountain?"
Lanting Mountain is not enough, do you still want to buy this mountain?" Fang Xiaoyu said: "What's wrong with mountains?" Xia Tingwei said: "Of course not, others like plains because they are easy to farm, how can you like mountains?
"Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said nothing. Just now, through Xiaofeng's sixty-kilometer radius scan, Fang Xiaoyu discovered that there is not only a large amount of limestone in this mountain, but also a large iron ore, and it is also a manganese iron ore. With this iron ore, Fang Xiaoyu
Not only do they want to build a cement plant, they even want to build a steel plant.
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu smile and say nothing, Xia Tingwei continued: "This mountain has no owner. As long as you report it to the Ministry of Industry, I believe you can buy it for not much money." Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "This mountain is in the hands of others.
It may be worthless, but in my hands it is worth tens of thousands of dollars." Xia Tingwei tilted her head and looked at Fang Xiaoyu for a long time before sighing: "I really don't know what you can't do, sometimes I really see
I won't tell you." Xia Tingyun smiled and said: "Brother Yu, you have completely convinced my arrogant sister." Fang Xiaoyu said modestly: "At least I can't compare to your sister in horse riding."
The Xia sisters cannot live in Lanting Villa permanently. After all, this is Fang Xiaoyu's place. Although the three of them are still children, it is easy for people to gossip after living here for a long time. After seeing off the Xia sisters, Fang Xiaoyu naturally has to go home.
Sun Huaizong directed everyone to harvest vegetables in the villa. What Sun Huaizong and others harvested was spinach, which was the first vegetable harvested in Lanting Villa. There are many kinds of spinach. According to the sowing time, it can be divided into spring spinach, which is sown in spring, from May to July.
Summer spinach is sown from August to September, autumn spinach is sown from October to November, and winter spinach is sown from October to November. What Fang Xiaoyu planted this time is spring spinach. The spinach harvest is very fast, and it can be picked in batches 40 days after sowing.
After returning home, Fang Xiaoyu directly found his elder brother Fang Dingguo. Seeing Fang Xiaoyu coming, Fang Dingguo was overjoyed and said: "Little brother, you finally have time to visit your elder brother." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I came to see you for something, it's about my sister-in-law.
Fang Dingguo said with a smile: "I heard from Qixia. She said you were going to prepare two special products for her. What are they?" Fang Xiaoyu took out the wooden box containing soap from his arms and handed it to Fang Dingguo: "This
It’s the first product, it’s called soap, it’s used for washing your face and bathing.” When Fang Xiaoyu explained how to use the soap, Fang Dingguo’s eyes widened and he said: “This is really a profitable thing, it must be easy to sell.”
After saying that, he stared at Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Where is the other one?" Fang Xiaoyu took out another piece of paper from his arms and said, "I can't do this, I can only give you a picture. Don't you have a ready-made clothing store? I'll give it to you.
Make it clear that you can take it back and do it yourself."
"Making clothes?" Fang Dingguo took the drawing and looked at it again and again in confusion: "Are such small clothes for babies?" Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "This is for women, I call it a bra." Fang Xiaoyu gave
Fang Dingguo explained in a low voice the usage and function of the bra. Fang Dingguo smiled evilly and said: "You have so many bad ideas, no wonder you and Qixia said you can only let me tell her what they are." Fang Xiaoyu also smiled and said: "Brother, I will give it to you.
You created such a good opportunity to get close to your elder sister-in-law, what reward do you have?" Fang Dingguo said: "Brother, you are the richest among the brothers and sisters, and you still want to rob your elder brother. It is too cruel and inhumane."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "How is that possible? It's just a joke. I still have a few million in my hand, which is barely enough to spend." Fang Dingguo's eyes widened and said: "A few million? It's still barely enough to spend? You said so.
Exit, you know that my eldest brother doesn’t have much income from running the farm now, and I haven’t bought any gifts for you, Sister Qixia, in the past two months.” Fang Xiaoyu pointed to the drawings of soap and bras and said, “Isn’t this just a chance for you to show off, why don’t you do it soon?
Go." "Yes, I'll go now." Fang Dingguo immediately rolled up his things and ran out. Fang Xiaoyu shook his head: "Brother is so anxious as soon as he hears about his sister-in-law. He will definitely be a strict wife in the future."
After walking out of the courtyard of his eldest brother Fang Dingguo, Fang Xiaoyu wanted to see his mother. A voice behind him said: "Xiaoyu, you are back." Fang Xiaoyu looked back and saw that it was his grandfather Fang Wei. He smiled and said: "Grandpa, you are too
I'm at home." Fang Wei nodded: "I happen to have something to ask you for, so come to the study with me."
Fang Xiaoyu followed his grandfather to the study. Fang Wei pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down, Xiaoyu." Fang Xiaoyu nodded and sat down. Fang Wei saw him sitting down and sighed and said, "Recently, you and the two people from the Xia family
The little girl is very close?" Fang Xiaoyu nodded in confirmation. Fang Wei asked again: "They still often live in your villa?" Fang Xiaoyu explained: "Only twice."
Fang Wei sighed and said: "Did you know? Marshal Xia has privately spread the news that he will betroth both of them to you." Fang Xiaoyu said in surprise: "What? Two? How is this possible?" Fang Wei
Said: "You know? Because of this news and the close relationship between the two little girls and you, the Cheng family can no longer sit still. Recently, there have been many small actions in the court. This puts a lot of pressure on us." Fang Xiaoyu nodded:
"Grandpa, do you want me to do something?"
Fang Wei said: "What you have to do is to strengthen the defense force of the Villa. Now the source of our Fang family's prosperity is the various goods you manufacture. Once Lanting Villa is attacked, the Fang family will suffer great losses." Listen.
After hearing Fang Wei's words, Fang Xiaoyu broke out in a cold sweat. Last time, he wanted to quickly integrate his armed forces, but after a few days when there was no movement, he relaxed. Even the thousand slaves he bought have not been arranged yet.
I just do farm work with everyone every day. It seems that I have been too careless recently. I need to strengthen my security work when I go back.
After listening to his grandfather's warning, Fang Xiaoyu had no intention of staying at home for a long time, and hurried back to Lanting Villa. When he returned to the villa, the first thing Fang Xiaoyu did was to summon Hua Dongxing and other three people, plus Sun Huaizong and Lin Feng to discuss it. Fang Xiaoyu said now
situation, and also expressed his desire to rely on those slaves to build a force that is completely loyal to him.
