Unknowingly, on the way to Yue Liao, Mei Mei's family went from summer to autumn.
Autumn comes early in Yanzhou.
At the beginning of August, everything was dry and yellow.
Mayberry and the others spent an entire summer in poverty and floods;
As the wind coming out from the north gradually brought a chill;
As you get closer and closer to Liao, there are more fields around you;
The surrounding colors have also faded from the midsummer green, and gradually turned into the unique harvest yellow of autumn.
When they arrived outside Yueliang City, Mei Pei got out of the car and lifted up his draped hat. He looked up at the tall khaki city wall and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
This towering city wall standing deep in the grassland is no less imposing than Yunzhou Fucheng.
Looking at the patrolling soldiers on top of the city, Mei Berry didn't know why she felt so safe.
As if that's what soldiers should be like.
On the contrary, it is crazy people like Chen Yuan and the soldiers under him who bring fear to people.
After entering the city, compared with the tall and thick city walls outside the city, Yueliao County is indeed very "simple" inside.
The whole county is covered in earthy yellow.
Yueliao County, not to mention the capital city of Yunzhou, it is no exaggeration to say that Meibei is much worse than Jinbai County.
Although the system also explained to Mei Berry that the gray-yellow mud houses in the county were made of stone on the inside, but they were just painted with an extra layer of adobe on the outside.
The winter in Yunzhou is very cold, let alone Yanzhou further north.
Therefore, the walls of the houses built by the people here are basically multi-layered and very thick.
The market here wasn't too big. Mei Qiang took a closer look at the items sold and found that they were about the same level as before in Lihu Town.
This is difficult to comment on.
Yue Liao is said to be an important county in Yanzhou, so why does it look so ordinary?
But compared to plum berries, Mei Youqian likes this simple taste very much.
"I just listened to the cries of the meat sellers here. The high-quality mutton costs more than ten yuan per catty, which is more than one-third lower than the price in Yunzhou. After I go back and settle down, I will buy some mutton... "
Since entering the city, Mei Youqian has been listening in all directions, and finally opened his mouth - he has already thought about what to eat tonight.
As he spoke, he turned to look at his wife, laughing non-stop.
Wei Meili rolled her eyes at him angrily, and then said: "Buy some more so that we can all get together in the evening. Those who have been sleeping in the open recently need to make up for themselves."
As she said that, Wei Meili turned her head and stared at Mei Bei's small body again, as if the meat she had raised earlier was gone again.
Just when Mei Youqian was talking about eating, Mei Bei looked at Mr. Xue on the side, eavesdropping with his ears raised. Compared to him, Mr. Xue had already been betrayed by Tian Qi's bright eyes.
Mayberry couldn't help laughing.
"Would you like to eat the pot?"
Mei Li raises his hand, Yanzhou becomes very dry after autumn, and mutton is most suitable for nourishing in autumn and winter.
Shopkeeper Ma looked at the relaxed atmosphere of Mei Berry and the others and naturally did not disturb them.
The residential areas in Yue Liao are also very interesting. The closer they are to the Outer City and Wengcheng, the larger the area occupied by each household is.
You said it would be fine if they were rich, but looking at those shabby houses, you can’t tell how rich they are.
Meiberry curiously asked about the situation there, and shopkeeper Ma explained that there were actually more herdsmen there.
They have little time to enter the city throughout the year, but in winter they have to drive their sheep and horses back to the city.
This is a little more restrictive than the herdsmen on the grassland who can do whatever they want.
But that’s fine too.
At least, mutton is cheap.
Just as Mayberry and the others saw when they entered the city,
The house that Meiberry and his family lived this time was a row of small mud houses with yards.
The name Flathead Tsuchiya was given by Meiberry.
Just like the houses Mayberry had seen before, there was no way to hide from the yellow adobe outside the house they lived in.
The four houses are side by side and upright, similar to the one their family lived in Jinshui Village.
The structure of the house is also very clear, including the kitchen, main room, and two bedrooms.
The only difference was the flat roof. Mayberry stood in the relatively spacious yard and took a look. There was a ladder next to the wall. It seemed that the roof could be climbed up.
Okay, she thinks it's pretty good.
Standing in the yard, Mei Berry looked with satisfaction at the two horses gifted by Jiubaoxuan that were grazing leisurely in the stables in the yard, as well as the mules next door who were still snorting at the horses.
Mayberry couldn't help but laugh.
Mule cubs are taller than horses in Sour Man's house.
The fighting chicken is now completely unwilling to live in the chicken coop and wanders around the yard like a king patrolling the territory.
Fat Tiger paid no attention to anyone, lying on the roof enjoying the sun spa.
The leisurely and carefree life of several of my own little animals is completely different from the busy schedule of their family of three.
"Berry! Have you cleaned up the outside?"
"Ah, right away."
After her mother called her back to her senses, Mayberry picked up a broom and started sweeping the floor.
Yue Liao is not only dry, but also very windy and sandy.
Mei Qi and the others didn't know when Jiubaoxuan finished building this house, but because the windows were open, a lot of sand and soil accumulated on the kang and on the ground, let alone the yard.
Mei Mei's yard is in the middle, and next door is Mei You's house and Mr. Xue's house.
Mei You's family, Mei Bei, is not worried, but Mr. Xue is. How can he clean the house with Tian Qi at such a young age?
Meiberry was worried, but the movement from next door clearly told Meiberry that she was overthinking.
As far as Mr. Xue's status is concerned, how could Jiubaoxuan ignore Mr. Xue?
"Ah, where did you find this shelf? There's so much dirt on it. Clean it up quickly and add some baskets later.
Ah, and in the house, I am too old to do any work. Tian Qi is still young and not as tall as any of you... Hurry up, otherwise how can I rest at night?
If I'm in a bad mood, I won't give you any medicine during this period. "
Meiberry took a broom and sneaked to the next door to take a look. It was very good. Inside were the guys from Jiubaoxuan who were working diligently.
Those five and three thick men, with fists as big as casseroles, could only pick up rags, and brooms, which made Meiberry call out, "What a guy!"
Meiberry couldn't help but feel pity for these people.
But then she thought about it, Mr. Xue was a doctor-level figure with excellent medical skills. In addition, what Jiubaoxuan was doing behind the scenes seemed quite dangerous. If you thought that the medical boss was in charge, then Jiubaoxuan was indeed It must be provided well.
By the way, share the firepower with her family.
Mr. Xue's venomous tongue is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
During the past few days on the carriage, Mr. Xue actually chatted with her mother about her teaching issues, asking her to behave herself.
Then, with the temperament of her parents and her father's lack of restraint, Old Man Xue was so angry that he chased her father and scolded her.
The scene of "Dad walking around the car" shouldn't happen too often.
When Mei You met, he only said that Mr.
He didn't have time to think about it when he had something to do. Just like now, Mei Bei prayed that Jiubaoxuan would let Mr. Xue work on medicine every day.
After Mei Bei's house was cleaned, Mei Bei followed Mei Youqian to the market to buy vegetables and meat.
The climate in Yue Liao is very dry and windy and sandy.
While cleaning at home just now, Mei Youqian cultivated a small vegetable patch in the backyard. If Mei Mei didn't have spring water at home, he would have had to carry many buckets of water to water the ground thoroughly.
So when he went to the market, Mei Youqian not only wanted to buy meat, but also some vegetables.
There are still relatively few types of fresh vegetables here, just cabbage and radish, but to Meiberry's surprise, there are sellers of dried vegetables, including many dried mushrooms.
When Mei Bei inquired, she learned that there were still people here going out of the city to pick mushrooms on the rolling Cangshan Mountain to the east.
The key is that the main mushrooms on Cangshan Mountain are non-toxic fungus and hazel mushrooms.
It's probably the kind that Meiyu won't find poisonous ones even if she closes her eyes.
After Meiberry told the news, Meiberry specifically told Mei You about this when the three families were eating mutton pot at Meiberry's house in the evening.
It was obvious that Meiyou was also very excited.
"I will accompany you to pick mushrooms next spring~" Instead of Meiyou's invitation, Meibei took the initiative to propose it.
The electronic map shows the distribution map of the products in Cangshan Mountain. Among them, ginseng alone is enough to impress Meiberry to go there.
Not to mention that in addition to ginseng, there are many other medicinal materials on Cangshan Mountain.
"Okay~" Meiyou was very happy to hear that Meiberry was going to accompany her up the mountain, but those are things for next year.
"In a few days, we will go to Guan City to have a look. This year, Guan City opens on August 20th, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
When Mei You entered the city during the day, she noticed the notice posted at the city gate.
Meiberry's eyes moved when she heard this.
Her cotton is finally coming~
Mayberry: To sum up this year - I am either running away or on the way to running away.
Dongfangtai: I agree!
Mayberry: Who are you? Who are you, you dare to answer my call? Do I agree?
Dongfangtai:......
