Chapter 10 Buying Cattle

Lin He smiled and said, "That's natural, I only supply you one, but if others see it in your store and learn it, it's your business, what I give you is just a model, you let your embroidery room do it." ”

Wen Shijie agreed, so he asked Lin He, "Do these three hundred and fifty taels want silver tickets or silver ingots?" ”

Lin He said, "Twenty taels of broken silver, and the rest will be given silver ingots, not silver tickets." ”

Wen Shijie saw that they were all children, and said, "Silver tickets are also very convenient, as long as there is a rich bank, you can exchange them." ”

Lin He smiled and said, "These silver ingots are useful to me." The shopkeeper didn't say much, and asked Xiao Er to take the silver.

Lin He put the silver in the baggage, the cloth of the baggage was worn, no one would have thought that such a shabby cloth contained so many silver ingots, the shopkeeper asked, "Miss Lin, do you want to send someone to send you back?" ”

Lin He said, "No need, we still have to buy something, and it will take some time, so we won't have to work for the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Wen then said, "Then what will you do next time when can you send a new puppet over?"

Lin He said, "At the end of the month, I will send a few new ones, and I will give you time to see if there are any business opportunities for this puppet." ”

Boss Wen smiled and didn't speak, but he was thinking in his heart, "Such a young child can think of so many things, and he will be a not simple character in the future." ”

The three brothers and sisters walked out of the door of the store with a few burdens on their backs, and Lin He said to Dabao, "Big brother, you need to add something to the house, and you will rent an ox cart to go back." ”

Dabao nodded, now he really believes that this sister really wants to let the family live a good life, one hundred and fifty taels of silver, that is, the family does not eat or drink and plant a field for a lifetime, which is this number, an ordinary family, the annual expenditure is only two or three taels of silver, and the sister only earns so much money in half a day, she believes it.

Lin He remembered that a few people hadn't eaten yet, not even breakfast, and now it was almost time for lunch, so he took Dabao and Sanya and walked towards a magnificent-looking restaurant, thinking, "Sister is rich, I must have a good meal today."

Dabao saw this magnificent restaurant and knew that he couldn't get out without a few taels of silver, and said, "Let's go to the noodle stall in front of us to finish eating noodles and buy a few buns, we don't need to go to such a good one." ”

Lin He pulled him and said, "Big brother, we have money now, we have silver." ”

The three of them went into the restaurant, ordered a few dishes in the restaurant, ate a beautiful meal, spent one or two or eight dollars of silver, and Dabao pumped himself in distress. Lin He smiled and shook his head, Sanya was clever, and asked Lin He in a low voice, "Sister, did you sell the little bear for money?" Lin He nodded.

After lunch, Lin dreamed about what needed to be added at home, and after thinking about it, there were too many things to add, and there were too many places to spend money, and it seemed that one hundred and fifty taels was not a big amount. Lin He took Dabao and Sanya to buy a table of chopsticks and bowls at the place where porcelain was sold, Lin He was very tired of using willow branches to make chopsticks these days, although many people used willow branches to make chopsticks in this era, but Lin He was really not used to it.

Then I bought a few pieces of cloth, and went to the cotton store to buy twenty catties of cotton, planning to use these cotton to make two quilts, and then make a cotton jacket made of cotton for each person in the family, there must always be two clothes to replace, these cotton should be enough, and then the grain store bought dozens of catties of white flour, and bought a lot of cornmeal and black flour, there is still no way to eat white flour for the time being, but it is okay to eat some occasionally.

I went to the vegetable market and cut two catties of meat back, the meat was semi-fat and lean pork belly, originally Lin He was going to buy all the lean meat, but Sanya and Dabao said that the fat meat was delicious, and finally bought the pork belly, and bought some eggs to go home, and finally bought a lot of things, Lin He saw so many things, and saw many people selling cattle when he passed through the vegetable market.

In fact, the cattle in the farmer's family will not be sold, but in the winter, there are too many poor people like the Lin He family, there is really no way, only the cattle that are cultivated are sold, after all, there is hope to live, what will be more important than life. Lin He plans to simply buy an ox cart to go back, anyway, the family will also use the ox cart, Dabao said to use the money to buy a field, Lin He wants to buy a field is also excellent, the family still does not have their own field, to farm also need cattle, always to rent other people's cattle for use, it is also a lot of expenses, and it is more convenient to have an ox cart at home. So they put what they had bought in the store where they bought grain, and a few of them went to the market where the cattle were sold.

To tell the truth, Lin He saw few cows in his previous life, she didn't know which cows were good, Dabao also said that he didn't know how to choose cows, they made a circle in it, and finally saw an old man with a five-year-old child wearing a very thin dress with a cow on the side, the child still coughed from time to time, Lin He walked to the place where the cattle were sold and stopped, and asked the old man, how to sell the cow, the old man said, "Little girl, you dolls want to buy cows, what about your adults, will you buy cows to feed?" ”

Dabao said, "We use it to set up ox carts." ”

The old man laughed and said, "Little baby, do you know how to drive the ox cart"?

Lin He was stunned, indeed, he has three small buns, who will drive the ox cart, or wait for his father and mother to buy cattle next time.

The old man then said, "I will drive the ox cart, if you want to buy this ox, I can help you set up the cart and send you back, but you must give me the money first, and I will take my grandson to see the doctor before I can send you back." Lin He thought about it and agreed.

Buying a cow is not the most important, but seeing this child seems to be extremely uncomfortable, or send him to see the doctor first, the old man sold the cow to Lin He at a price of ten taels of silver, Dabao is familiar with this town, took the old man and his grandson to see the doctor, fortunately, there is no serious illness, a little wind and cold invasion, just take two medicines.

The old man led the ox to Lin He to set up the cart and went to the grain store to carry all the things he bought on the ox cart, and then the three brothers and sisters and the old man's grandson sat on it, and Lin He took some broken sacks to cover all the things he bought.

On the way, Lin He figured out why the old man sold his cattle, and the old man used to live together as a family of four, with a son, daughter-in-law and a little grandson. Last year, a local bully fell in love with his daughter-in-law and wanted to rob him to be a concubine, but his son and daughter-in-law did not agree, and the bully forced them to stay in their own home, and there was no way for a family of four to leave their hometown.

The old man had to take his grandson to live in a small village near Tianxin Town, usually the old man used cattle to help people plow the fields to make some money, but in winter, his grandson was sick, and the winter clothes for the winter did not fall, and there was no food, so he was afraid that he would not survive this winter, so he took out the cattle and sold them.

Lin He asked her, "Then now that you have sold your cattle, how do you live?" ”

The old man didn't know, hey, he had to take one step at a time.
