Volume I, Chapter 52
Placed on the ox cart is full of pottery bowls, in the back basket clanging collision sound, Uncle Liu held the whip of the cow, a whip on the buttocks of the cow, the hooves of the cow and quickly walked forward two steps.
On the board car, in addition to the place occupied by the five hundred baskets with aloe vera bowls, the other places are also very wide, the solid wood of the board car is hard, and the construction is solid, except for the position where the old man sits, the others, there are also places where Qin Mo and Xiangxiang sit.
This wooden cart is no problem to sit on another person.
The road is very dry and solid, it has not rained for a long time, the road surface runs smoothly, except for the early morning dew on the road is a little wet, everything else is dry and the ground is compact.
A few miles away from Chishui Village, there is a river in the villages along the way, and through the gap between the poplar trees on the roadside, you can see the small river with yellow water flowing in the distance on both sides of the big trees.
It just so happened that this time was a time of farming, passing through the main road in front of the village, passing by the edge of the field, you could see that the rice seedlings that were already two feet tall were already pulling flowers, and after pulling flowers, they were setting ears.
There is an abundance of water here, and Chishui Village, which includes several villages before and after, has nothing in many fields because of the drought this year.
It's just hundreds of miles away, but the scene is completely different.
It seemed that he felt that this mood was too leisurely, and Uncle Liu sang leisurely while holding a whip along both sides of the riverbank.
Sister, how long will it be before we get there?
The dough cake that was baked from the stove last night was taken out of his arms and given Xiangxiang one, and he also took one in his hand, the dry biscuit, the taste is not very good, but it is white noodles, and it is not a very bad food for the current conditions, Qin Mo bit it one by one, and chewed it into a mouthful of fine dregs in his mouth.
Dry. It has the sweetness of flour, and it is still okay to fill your stomach.
My sister doesn't know, she should be halfway away!
Qin Mo observed the surrounding terrain...
It's good to eat the dough cake one bite at a time, this time there is an ox cart, which is just like making an airplane, which is labor-saving and time-saving.
If it weren't for this ox cart, Qin Mo wouldn't have known how to move these five hundred pottery bowls to this distant county town.
It's heavy and hard to carry, and it's unimaginable to rely on your own back...
In fact, Qin Mo's estimate was right, halfway through the journey, with an ox cart, it only took half the time to reach the city, and people have been sitting, watching the scenery, eating, and they are not tired at all.
Uncle, thank you, you pull this cow to the east gate to feed something first, I'll go to do something first, and I'm done looking for you in this old teahouse next to me!
As soon as he got out of the car, Qin Mo began to instruct Old Man Liu.
The county seat is the county seat, but when I arrived at the street, I heard this bustling and noisy voice.
While talking to the old man, Qin Mo carried his back basket and turned over to carry the full back basket of pottery bowls.
Ay. Qin Daniu, what are you carrying here-!
Seeing Qin Mo get up from the car board, Master Liu didn't go away, but looked inside through the gap in the back basket with curious eyes.
In fact, there are rumors in the village that the Qin family, the two orphan widows, seem to have developed overnight, where did they find a small amount of money, and the family uses a stove and a craftsman.
Some people guess that it was picked up, some people guess that the ancestors were buried in the ground and dug up, and some people guess that it may be that the big girl of the Qin family took something good to sell in the market, and there are many people who guess the third kind, after all, some people saw that Qin Mo went to the county and came back, and the family began to do this and that, but the Qin family was so poor that people starved to death, and everyone in the village knew it, and they didn't know what other valuable things in this family could be sold.
All kinds of speculations, guesses to the end, none of them came to an end.
Therefore, this Uncle Liu took advantage of today's opportunity to be curious.
The old eye looked inside through the crack in the back basket.
It is some red clay bowls with patterns, the dark red color of the clay burning paper, you can see clearly at a glance through the gaps in the back basket, the things in the bowl containers are not uncommon, and the clay pottery is even less valuable, but I don't know, what Qin Mo is doing in the city with these things on his back.
Could it be that these things made Qin Mo make money.
You know, everyone is curious about how Qin Mo earned this money, and how the Qin family has a little bit of signs of improvement, obviously the people in the village are still famine, but the unprecedentedly poor Qin family has begun to become craftsmen and start a stove, you say it is not unusual.
People want to guess more, if they know the reason for this development, whether they can also make some money for themselves, then they can also improve their family's economic situation.
As soon as Qin Mo saw Uncle Liu's smiling appearance, and listened to his tone of questioning her, he naturally knew where Uncle Liu's thoughts were.
It is also more clear that during this time, the Qin family seems to be still showing signs of prosperity, and naturally many people want to know how the Qin family did it.
And Qin Mo naturally wouldn't tell it to others.
Uncle, don't be so curious, what about you, this, it's not a good thing, you know it's not good for you-!
To put it bluntly, Qin Mo at this moment just doesn't want to sue you!
But then Uncle Liu didn't understand the meaning of Qin Mo's words, what he said was clear, he couldn't force him to ask.
After all, I was a little unconvinced, after all, this Qin Mo is a junior, and in this village, this poor Qin family has no power to support, what kind of force to help, but this girl's heart is still very tight, so tight, she is not afraid of eating alone to support her belly? !
And he didn't look at his status in the village, and he dared to talk so hard to his uncle surnamed Liu.
I think I'm not convinced, but after all, it's someone else's, and I can't force it, even if the surname Liu is domineering in Chishui Village, there is still Lizheng in the town, there is a pavilion chief in the township, and there are officials in this county, so I don't dare to bully people casually.
These flat-headed people, as long as they hear the word 'official', they are afraid.
No matter what official you are, I'm afraid.
Qin Mo naturally didn't care about this old man, he carried the heavy basket on his back step by step, striding with difficulty, relying on the memory of the last time, and moved towards the most lively street in the county.
