Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Chapter 201 Longtan County Dilemma

The day after Yu Xunmei woke up, Yun Er and Yun Yu returned to Longtan County. They knew nothing about the situation in Nanzhou Prefecture.

Yun Zhenchuan helped them purchase about 100,000 kilograms of food this time, as well as cloth, needles and thread and other daily necessities.

There is not much salt, only three hundred kilograms.

After all the goods were put into storage, Lin Yinan looked at the account book with worry.

Even if they save as much as possible, they won't be able to eat 300 kilograms of salt for long.

Taking out "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" from the space, Lin Yinan began to study it carefully. There are many types of salt, including sea salt, well salt, mineral salt, lake salt, earth salt, and sand and stone salt.

They are now in the south. The Yun brothers often go up the mountains and search all the hills near Longtan County, but they have not found any salt.

The only salt available is sea salt, but Xihe County is now occupied by Japanese pirates, so it is not easy to obtain sea salt.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yun Mo came back from washing up at some point, his body still wet with moisture.

Seeing that his hair was not dry, Lin Yinan pushed him down on the chair, stood up, took the towel from his hand and wiped his hair.

His hair was fine and soft, which did not match his cold and hard appearance.

"Yun Er only brought back 300 kilograms of salt this time." Lin Yinan sighed.

Yun Mo was still very satisfied that Yun Zhenchuan could help purchase so much food.

"Second Uncle has done his best. All the salt in the south is in the hands of the Yu family."

Lin Yinan's hands moved gently, but what he was thinking about was how to get more salt.

“It would be great if there was a beach in Longtan County,” she sighed.

Yun Mo asked in confusion, "Why do we need a beach?"

"With a beach we can make salt."

"Making salt? You can make salt?" Yun Mo looked back at her in surprise.

He suddenly turned around, and Lin Yinan suddenly pulled out a few strands of hair from his head, but Yun Mo seemed not to feel the pain and looked at her with burning eyes.

"The book records the methods of making salt from seawater. One is the salt drying method, and the other is the salt boiling method." Lin Yinan said, pointing to the book on the table.

Yun Mo picked it up and took a look. He saw that the words on the book were incomplete. He could barely understand it. It recorded how to make salt by drying and boiling.

"That's great!" He hugged Lin Yinan happily.

Without exception, his enthusiasm was met with punches and kicks from the little thing in his stomach.

"Little thing, come out here later and I will beat your little ass to pieces."

Lin Yinan rolled his eyes at him and said, "There's no sea in Longtan County, why are you so happy?"

Yun Mo took the towel from her hand, put it on the table, pulled her to sit on his lap, put his arms around her sturdy waist, and rubbed his palms on her belly.

He said in a low voice, "Anan, there is a beach just over two hills from the horse farm."

"you sure?"

"I've been there. I'll ask Yun Qi to draw a picture for you tomorrow."

Hearing him say this, Lin Yinan felt relieved and started thinking about the next arrangements. Suddenly, he felt something hard and hot pressing against him.

"Anan, I miss you!"

Yun Mo's voice was hoarse, and he took her hand and moved it towards the place where he felt uncomfortable.

In another house in the backyard of the county government office.

An used a palm-leaf fan to drive away the mosquitoes in the gauze curtain, and then quickly opened the gauze curtain.

Looking at the dilapidated house, An frowned and a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes. Although she was physically and mentally exhausted, she gritted her teeth and got up to pack the luggage of her two children.

After Yun Yu finished his work, he pushed the door open and saw that his wife was still awake. A look of heartache flashed in his eyes.

"Qingyue, why are you still sleeping?"

He stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders, "I'm sorry you've suffered a lot following me here."

An quickly reached out to cover his mouth, "My husband, please don't say that. You and I are husband and wife, and we should advance and retreat together. Besides, you also said that the difficulties in Longtan County are temporary. My aunt and her family came here from Beijing, and they can get used to it. How can I be that kind of squeamish person?"

Yun Yu took her hand and said confidently, "Believe me, the house will be completed soon, and then our family of four and Kang'er will move into the new house."

An had just arrived in Longtan County, so she had not seen the new house being built. Although she had some doubts in her heart, she still followed her husband's words and said, "I believe in my husband."

"Are the children asleep?"

An nodded obediently, "Just fell asleep."

"Tomorrow, after breakfast, you will take them to school. When you come back, follow your aunt. Do whatever she does. Ask if you don't understand." Yun Yu wanted An to integrate into the community quickly, so she said with a smile.

"But Xiaobao is not even three years old yet?" Mrs. An was a little worried because her second son was too young.

Yun Yu consoled him, "There is a nursery class in the school. I will go with you to send the brothers to school tomorrow."

Mrs. An wanted to say something else, but when she saw her husband looked tired, she swallowed the words.

Her husband is working hard for their future. She is here to take care of him and help him, and she cannot become a burden to him.

"It's getting late. I've already made the bed. Please go to bed early, my husband."

An pulled him to a newly built simple bed in the room, took off his outer robe, and picked up a palm-leaf fan to drive away the mosquitoes in the gauze curtain.

After a long time, the candlelight in the house went out.

The next morning, Lin Yinan was awakened by low voices outside the house.

Yun Mo next to him was nowhere to be seen, probably he had already gotten up.

She put on her clothes and simply tied her hair into a bun.

When the door was opened, the two people sitting on the steps were startled.

"Third sister-in-law, are you up?" Yun Ying lowered her eyes, a hint of shyness appeared on her face, and even the tips of her ears turned red.

Yun Er stood up and saluted, "Third Madam."

Lin Yinan glanced at the golden hairpin in Yun Ying's hair, and stared at Yun Er, who seemed to be feeling guilty, with a half-smile.

"Why are you meeting at my door?"

Yun Er smiled, looking like he had something to say but didn't know how to deal with it.

"Third sister-in-law, don't blame him. It was mother who asked me to wait here for you to wake up. She took Qianxia Qianwu away." Yun Ying hurriedly explained.

Lin Yinan wanted to tease him, "You're already protecting me before I even start talking about my fate?"

Yun Ying was about to argue when she saw a figure running in from outside.

Seeing Yun Er, Yun Si hurriedly said, "Second brother, go to the lobby quickly. There is a letter from Nanzhou Prefecture."

Yun Er and his friends just came back yesterday, but Yun Zhenchuan's letter arrived today. Something must have happened.

Lin Yinan followed a few people and hurried to the lobby.

As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Yun Mo with a gloomy face. He handed the letter in his hand to Yun Er, "Look at what you have done?"

Yun Er said nothing, took the letter and started reading.

When Yun Mo saw Lin Yinan following behind him, his tense expression softened and he took two quick steps forward to support her.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Seeing that he looked strange, Lin Yinan asked, "What happened?"

Yun Er quickly finished reading the letter and handed it to Lin Yinan.

Lin Yinan unfolded the letter and read ten lines at a glance. She had a rough idea of ​​what the letter said.

I couldn't help but glance at Yun Er. This playboy with rosy lips and white teeth was actually a femme fatale!
