The day after the first military parade in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Lang's ten lucky ship captains handed over the members of the ship they had chosen. Zhu Lang meant that there was no need to be so fast, because it was the Chinese New Year after all, so he was ready to start the distribution after the fifteenth.

But these captains and crew members wanted to train quickly, and they all had strong demands. There was no way, so Zhu Lang had to let Ding Yicheng start doing these things.

When Zhu Lang has no time to care about this maritime inspection team, Zhu Lang’s most important target is his three young wives, Xu Miaoyun, Mengyao and Shen Qingyi, who are all pregnant.

On the side of Xu Miaoyun, her mother, Xie, took her sister Xu Miaojin and her younger brother Xu Zengshou to the Narcissus Village together and was stationed in the Narcissus Village. Although she had a father and two older brothers on Mengyao's side, her father and two older brothers are too busy now.

Therefore, the Chang family of the Crown Princess Chang Luoniang directly recognized Mengyao as her goddaughter, and Chang Luoniang's mother also came to the Narcissus Village to take care of Mengyao in person.

As for our Shen Qingyi, the Shen family has not yet been forgiven by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Shen family has also declined at this time. However, Erxiang took the initiative to take on all the reasons for taking care of Shen Qingyi.

And Aunt Wang is also the backer, so she is also well taken care of.

As for Aunt Wang, now he is focused on his grandson who has not been born. Every day he has to check his grandson's food. Xie and Chang'an have great respect for Aunt Wang.

From time to time, everyone communicated together, but it was extremely harmonious.

After Xu Miaojin and Xu Zengshou arrived at the Narcissus Village, they immediately became close friends with Wang Xue, Zhao Lianer and Yan Shihua, as well as a large number of children in the Narcissus Village. They were so fun that they didn’t even want to go back to their homes.

However, Big Dog and Ergou are no longer playful anymore. They have been training and are only one year older. However, the training of the military camp has made the two feel that they have grown a lot.

"Haha...It's snowing...Mr. Zhao, come out and see..." Old Jue Yan giggled and shouted at Master Zhao who was sorting out his talents in the room. However, Master Zhao did not shout out, but instead called Qiao Zheng, who was working in the kitchen.

"Oh, it's really snowing. Brother Yan, you don't know. When it snowed last year, I was so worried that I didn't know what to do?" Qiao Zheng walked out and looked at the snowy sky with a faint smile.

"What are you worried about?" Just in time, Master Zhao sorted out the textbook and walked out and asked with a smile.

"Master Zhao...of course I'm worried about eating and drinking. This winter is not spring and autumn... There is nothing. If you want to dig some wild vegetables, you can't dig it, so you can only dig a mouse hole." Qiao Zheng replied with a smile.

"Digging the mouse hole...how to dig it?" Master Zhao looked at Qiao Zheng with some surprise.

Qiao Zheng laughed and said, "Mr. Zhao doesn't know, so let me show off... Animals like rats are really annoying. They often do damage, not only steal food and destroy crops, but also bite furniture and clothing, and spread some diseases, which is almost useless.

However, even such a disgusting rat, sometimes the people will "request for help" it and borrow food from the rat.

This type of mouse is usually a voles, which is different from the mice at home. This type of mouse has a habit of hiding large amounts of peanuts, soybeans and other food in autumn, just to prepare for winter.

It is not that among the people, there is also a kind of "hamster moving".

Mr. Zhao, don’t underestimate this hamster. In a hamster’s cave, there are at least several kilograms of grain, and at most dozens of kilograms. In the past, there was not much food, but farmers had to store grain for the winter in autumn and winter.

The same is true for field mice. After the food is harvested in autumn, there will be no crops in the wild and there will be no food to eat. Smart mice will prepare food for winter in advance. For example, they will transport large quantities into their caves to hide in their caves.

In order to fill your family's stomach, you have to find ways. In the past, it was very popular to go to the wild to find field holes and dig out the food they hide. For example, use hidden beans to make tofu, stir-fry peanuts and eat them.

Some experienced people can dig dozens of kilograms of grain from the mouse hole in a day, which can also support the food for a family for several days."

"My God..." Master Zhao was surprised: "You have eaten too much?"

"Haha..." Old Yan smiled: "I have eaten it all, nothing happened. In autumn and winter, the temperature was lower, and many crops were in the dormant period.

After all, crops like peanuts and soybeans only sprout in spring temperatures.

Peanuts are used in the wild. After the corn is harvested, if it is not harvested in time, it will sprout soon. This is because the germination of grain requires temperature and moisture, and it will definitely be easy to sprout if it is not dried.

However, most of the food in the mouse hole was stolen from the people's drying food or from the people's warehouses. Some were stolen from the fields. However, these foods were basically dried up by the moisture.

Voles are very smart. They can dry their own food. They often dry them and then transport them to the cave. The dried food is generally not easy to sprout. Especially in autumn and winter, there is less rain and will not sprout as long as it is not damp.

It also has to do with the design of the voles cave.

The caves of voles seem simple, but they are like mazes inside. Moreover, they have many small holes inside the cave, where the food is placed in one cave, and their movements are in another cave.

Especially caves that store grains are not only moisture-proof, but also waterproof, and light is generally not exposed to it. Such an environment is not conducive to the germination of seeds."

"So that's it... Oh, it's really better to read a book by listening to your words, but now you don't want to dig it..." Master Zhao looked at Qiao Zheng and Yan Laojue with great enlightenment and reminded him.

"Haha...who would dig that field mouse hole now? Yesterday my son distributed us cotton coats and trousers, saying that the weather was cold and we had dinner together every day. If we were hungry, we would have snacks at home.

By the way... the old lady gave me a job. Can the three of us enter Yingtian City together tomorrow?" Qiao Zheng said with a sneer.

"What is the old lady giving you? You still have to enter Yingtian City?" asked Old Man Yan.

"Buy charcoal and buy good charcoal, I gave me a thousand taels... but I was worried that I couldn't do it alone, and wondered if you two could help me, especially Master Zhao." As he said that, Qiao was looking at Master Zhao on the side.

Master Zhao laughed: "No problem, I'm going to go to the city tomorrow, so I'm going to buy some books, pens and ink, and the children are short of some paper... Let's go to Yingtian together."

"Then let's make up." Qiao Zheng laughed.

Just as Qiao Zheng smiled, Qiao Ren's shout came from a distance: "Dad...It's snowing, I'm going to check all the weight bearing forces of the houses soon."

"Okay... Your uncle Yan and I will come soon."

After agreeing, Qiao Zheng and Yan Laojue immediately went to work hard. As for Master Zhao, he smiled and went back to organize the textbooks. However, not far away, the Ming people who were digging the field mouse cave began to pick up the tools in their hands. They wanted to eliminate all the field mouse caves, but this time an accident occurred.
