My hotel connects the past and present

While Chen Wenjiu and the other villagers in Yujia Village were picking thorn berries in the thorn thorn fruit forest, a carriage slowly came to the fruit grove outside Yujia Village.

After the carriage stopped, the tall coachman who was driving jumped out, took a bench from the carriage and placed it on the ground. Then he said to the people in the carriage, "Master, we have arrived at Yujia Village."

The curtain of the carriage opened, and a man wearing a fluffy fox fur hat got out of the carriage. His figure was covered by a thick fox fur cloak, but the man looked particularly rich and gorgeous.

The man had a young and handsome face. If Yu Xiaoguo saw this face, he would be able to recognize that it was Master Li, whom he had always liked.

Li Yan, the eldest son of Li's Trading Company in Qin Province, has taken over most of the family's business from his father since he was 18 years old. Five years later, he is now a business tycoon who has almost completely controlled all the business of Li's Trading Company. .

"Let's go and have a look." Li Yan said to the groom.

Li Yan had noticed the changes in Yujia Village three months ago. Ninety percent of the people in Yujia Village who originally planned to flee the famine with their entire family stayed, and they were even able to take in the people nearby when they were isolated and helpless. them.

The people of Yujia Village were busy planting trees near the village three months ago to prevent the hungry people from eating the leaves and bark. Of course, he also knew that there was a lot of pasture growing in these woods. Although the people in Yujia Village did not allow people to eat bark and leaves, they cut some pasture back every once in a while.

These pastures are indeed grown to feed poultry and livestock, but the young shoots of alfalfa can be eaten by humans. In addition, some of the pastures grown in Yujia Village can be eaten by humans. Anyway, poultry and livestock can eat them. , people can’t eat people to death.

Relying on these pastures, they not only raised a number of poultry and livestock in Yujia Village, but also kept the nearby refugees who were not in Yujia Village alive.

Li Yan did do good deeds during this period, but the northwest side was not as wealthy as the south side of the Yangtze River, and the Li family didn't have that much food. This year's severe drought also caused considerable losses to Li's Trading Company, and he had no spare capacity to save more people.

Unexpectedly, Yujiacun managed to survive on his own.

Moreover, they have planted more than 200 acres of trees. They have been able to get better and better in the past three months. It is really puzzling to him.

Li Yan had the idea of ​​​​finding out what was going on, and he wanted to see what the fruit produced by the fruit trees planted by the people in Yujia Village looked like. If it was good, Li's Trading Company could buy it.

Yu Xiaoguo led the children in the village through the fruit forest. The grass on the ground had been harvested when the villagers planned to harvest the thorn fruits, so now everyone would not trample the grass if they stepped on it. .

Yu Xiaoguo, who was secretly picking thorn berries to eat, saw the carriage at the edge of the orchard and Li Yan wearing a fox fur cloak. His eyes suddenly lit up, "Master Li!"

"Master Li? What is Master Li?"

"Xiaoguo, who are you calling?"

Yu Xiaoguo's friends don't follow Yu Chunsheng to the city as often as he does, and they are even less likely to have seen Li Yan, so they are all confused about who he is calling.

"Master Li, Master Li from Coal City, don't you know?" Yu Xiaoguo said to his friends.

"Master Li from Coal City? Is that the good-looking and very powerful Master Li?" the friends asked in confusion.

"Yes, that's Master Li." Yu Xiaoguo nodded.

Li Yan is quite famous in Coal City. After all, Li's Trading Company is very famous in Qin Province. Li Yan is young and promising and has connections with the Northwest Army, which makes him even more famous.

"Wow, so this is Master Li? He is so good-looking."

"Yes, Master Li is good-looking."

Li Yan is indeed very elegant and handsome. Compared to a businessman, he looks more like a scholar who has read poetry and books. His elegant and elegant temperament is really strong.

"Hello." Li Yan greeted Yu Xiaoguo and the other children with a smile, "I want to find your village chief. Can you help me lead the way?"

"Okay, okay." Yu Xiaoguo and the others nodded happily, "The village chief's grandpa is picking fruits over there. Master Li, come with us."

Li Yan and the horseman Songzhuang behind him followed Yu Xiaoguo and the others to find the village chief. On the way, Yu Xiaoguo picked a red thornberry and handed it to him, saying, "Master Li, try the one grown in our village." The fruit is delicious."

Li Yan looked at the fruit, which was about the same size as a grape, and took it naturally, and thanked Yu Xiaoguo.

"Young Master..." Song Zhuang quickly stopped when he saw Li Yan taking the thorn fruit and wiping it on his clothes before eating it. How can you eat casually outside? What should I do if I have a bad stomach?

"It's okay." Li Yan shook his head and said. He saw that Gui Xiaoguo and the other children picked the thorn fruits directly from the tree and ate them. He was very sure that these things would not ruin his stomach, so he told him not to worry.

Li Yan took a bite and found that the taste of acanthus was really good. The juice was rich and sweet. It was not much different from other fruits. Although it did not taste like berries, it was delicious and had a light sour taste. The bitter taste will not make people feel unpalatable, but will relieve the greasiness of the sweet taste.

This fruit called thorn fruit is indeed delicious, and he saw that the yield should be good. With so many fruit trees planted in Yujia Village, one or two hundred thousand kilograms of fruit will be harvested by then.

"Grandpa, village chief, Master Li is looking for you!" Yu Xiaoguo and the others took Li Yan to the village chief and shouted loudly before they arrived.

"Ah? Master Li?" The village chief is old. When he fled the famine before, he originally didn't want to leave. He knew that following him when he was old would drag down his children, but his children did not give up on him. Go with him.

As a result, they only walked for a day and returned the same way. Now that they have returned to Yujia Village, their life is better than before when there was no famine. The old village chief is very happy.

Today is the day for picking fruits. It doesn’t matter that the village chief is old. He still picks fruits with the villagers and puts the picked fruits into the basket.

When he was working in full swing, he heard the shouts of Yu Xiaoguo and the other children. He was very confused.

Master Li? It sounds familiar, who is it?

"Grandpa, village chief, it's Mr. Li from Coal City who is looking for you." Before Yu Xiaoguo could speak, another thin boy among his friends answered.

As for the title "Master Li of Coal City", he just heard it from Yu Xiaoguo. After writing it down, he quickly showed it to the old village chief.

"Master Li from Coal City?" The old village chief thought for a while after hearing this, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, oh, is it Master Li from the Li family in Chang'an?"

Master Li from Coal City came to Coal City because of Li Yan's business. He stayed there for a long time. After he became famous, everyone liked to call him "Master Li from Coal City".

But in fact, the Li family is from Chang'an City, and Li Yan's parents and relatives are all there, but he often travels to other cities in Qin Province, or to the next door Jin Province. .
