Chapter 373
On the first day of opening, the business of the ox cart was good, the two ox carts were full of gears, more than a dozen people did not fall and all took the car, the price was affordable, the carriage was big and new, the pads inside were thick, the things they brought were also a lot old, and they did not have to face the sun, and the group lived in the same village, and they often dealt with each other on weekdays, there was a car to sit on, and there was something to say, there was nothing better than this. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are many people on the car, and there are many things, Zhang Yue'er followed the eldest sister to take the bullock cart of Man Ziye, not sitting in the carriage, but sitting in front, they sat next to Man Ziye, facing the cool breeze, and could see the scenery outside, which was much more comfortable than sitting in the carriage.
This section is already the extent of the rocky mountain, and the uneven road has long been repaired, and the road surface is wide and flat. After the collapse of the rocky mountain, the loose soil around the mountain may have slid down, and there has never been a large-scale landslide since then, and the pavement of the aisle is still some distance from the current rocky mountain, even if there is soil and sand falling on it, it will not hinder.
The ox cart could not keep up with the speed of the horse, but it was much faster than walking back, and the unhurried journey was also half the time of walking, and it was almost four minutes when it arrived at the village. Wen Qing and Wen Yuan's ox cart walked in front, and they had already agreed to let them go directly to Dongzhuang, while Man Ziye's ox cart was parked in his own yard, and he got out of the car and moved the things he bought in the town back to the house to put them, and it was inconvenient to take them to Dongzhuang at this time.
"Master Man, this is for you, you can't put it here, you have to put it away." From the pile of gifts to be given, he took out the dry tobacco pouch for Man Ziye and a brown cloth.
The brown cloth was bought for the man to make clothes, and the dry tobacco pouch was used for his old man to smoke dry tobacco. Speaking of Man Ziye's smoking of dry tobacco, there is also a small episode, which she provoked.
Smoking is harmful to health, this is common sense, but Man Ziye is good at this mouthful, usually when he is fine, he always likes to take out his dry tobacco pouch that has been used for many years, dark and colorless, put on the rolled dry tobacco leaves, and then light a fire and smoke a few puffs.
The doctor of this era has been particular about the harm of smoking, once she said a lot about the harm of smoking in the name of Dr. Xu, and the frightened Brother Dacheng and Brother Daming turned white, and confiscated the dry tobacco pouch of the manziye, and did not allow him to touch this old man. Man Ziye didn't do anything, he vigorously argued that he was still alive and well after decades, and he still talked about the old village chief.
The old village chief also has an old dry tobacco pouch, which he usually plays with in his hand, and occasionally has fun, and he will not be like Man Ziye who never leaves his hand every day, nor does he leave his mouth every day. Man Ziye has been smoking for decades, and he can't quit, and the more he doesn't let him, the more he wants to smoke, and the more he smokes, the more he smokes.
If the family doesn't let it, Man Ziye will always think of other ways to "secretly" smoke. The "secret" here is not that people don't know, but that they don't face her family and her. Usually when I am in a hurry, when I go to the village to visit the door, when I am in my own house, these are all opportunities, and when I bump into them occasionally, the man will smile and say "I won't be next time".
And the dry tobacco pouch was confiscated before, and the man Ziye, who has always been thrifty, spent an unprecedented amount of money to buy a second-hand inferior old tobacco pouch, which makes people feel pitiful when they look at it. After that, Brother Dacheng gave the confiscated dry tobacco bag back to Master Man, and buried the second-hand one he bought with a handful of soil.
And then it is the acquiescence of the fact that Man Ziye smokes dry tobacco, however, because of the hard work of his children and grandchildren, the amount has been reduced a lot, and he will no longer smoke a large stack at a time like before, and there will be nothing that he did not put in his mouth and suck a few mouthfuls, Brother Dacheng They are relieved, Man Ziye is also satisfied, and she also rests and does not feel embarrassed or persuaded.
Man Ziye took the things with a smile, glanced at them and put them back, "Yue'er, these are put here first, and then we have to go back and clean up those little chicks, it's inconvenient to take them, it's not good to lose some silver bought!" ”
"That's okay, put it here first, and then Wen Qing and Wen Yuan will also go to the field, and then they will come to my house to get these."
"There's no urgency, it's all here first." Man Ziye shook his head, and said: "The two of them drove two ox carts to Dongzhuang, there should be a lot of people watching the excitement over there, maybe someone will go to your fourth uncle's house to inquire at night, and let them come over to get it when the limelight is over." ”
A sturdy cow can make the village lively, plus a new oxcart with good materials, the heat is a little bigger, but there is more than one cow, and there is more than one ox cart, it is a pair, not to mention.
Don't say it, Man Ziye's guess is really accurate!
Zhang Wenqing and Zhang Wenyuan each drove an ox cart into Dongzhuang, which caused a big sensation over there, you must know that in the entire Zhangjiazhuang except for Steward Wu, no one has two ox carts at home, and it is the same time.
The people in the village heard about the origin of the ox cart, some were happy, some were embarrassed, and some were cool, but they all knew one thing clearly, Zhang Laosi's family, and the two people in the big house were afraid to get up. Even if these two cows are not the silver from Zhang Laosi, but they can be used to earn silver, even if they don't pull goods and carry people in the village, go to the surrounding villages or towns for a day, no matter what, there are hundreds of Wenna.
A few hundred is a lot, as long as these two people in the big house are diligent and have a job to take over, they will be able to pay off the debts owed outside in a few years, and Zhang Laosi welcomed the big house back, as long as he talks to the old village chief here, he will not be without work.
Zhang Laosi finally dismissed the excitement outside, explained a few more words, and called the two grandsons into the house to ask the reason again.
"Wen Qing, Wen Yuan, are you two telling everyone the truth?"
"Well, that's what my little aunt said, we didn't agree, but Master Man also persuaded us to accept it." Zhang Wenqing replied, "We originally planned to come back to discuss with our family, but on the way back, we bumped into many people in the village who didn't have a ride, so my little aunt shouted at the two of us to pull goods and pick up people, and chose today's day to open the business." ”
took out a money bag from his bosom and poured all the copper plates inside on the table, "We opened on the first day, charged half price, calculated according to the rules of the manziye, and sent seventeen people back to the village, and even the money collected by people and things is here." Then he lowered his head and told him what happened today, including the things he bought all the way, as well as the affairs of the Zhu family and Zhang Qiaoer, eating with Dr. Xu in the bamboo courtyard, and the business solicited on the road.
"At the intersection, the two aunts repeatedly told us to drive the ox cart back to raise it in front of the people in the car, and it will be used by us in the future. Master Man also whispered in my ear that he would let Steward Wu take over the work for us. ”
Zhang Laosi listened to it for a while, was happy for a while, sighed for a while, said a few words with an angry face, and sighed again and again in the end.
