44. Buy an ox cart
What happened when Li Yue went to find the old man, Lin Xue didn't know, and she didn't care, as long as she didn't fight her idea, the next day because someone ordered a meal, Lin Xue went to the restaurant early, picked up some more vegetables and fried them in a few large pots, and asked Li Qi to find a carriage to deliver the food.
Half an hour later, Li Qi came back, "Xiaoxue, the construction site is really big, it seems that it is repairing a house for a big official, and there is a pond in it." Richie described with interest what he knew.
"I know who doesn't." Lin Xue was interested, and there were big officials in this poor countryside who came to live.
Li Qi shook his head, "Those people don't know, they only heard that they are officials in Beijing, and they are old so they want to find a quiet place to retire." ”
Lin Xue sighed, she didn't care, she thought there was a wonderful story, it turned out that she was old and should retire.
The subordinates cut the vegetables neatly, took out a piece of meat from the basket, cut it into small cubes, and put it in the pot and fried it together.
"Boss, when there are fewer people in a while, let's go to the town." Lin Xue said.
"What are you doing, we still have the materials." Li Qi looked at the inventory in the kitchen, it was quite sufficient.
Lin Xue glanced at her, "To buy cattle and carts, you can't hire a car every time you deliver food, not to mention spending money, it's a waste of time." ”
Li Qi scratched his head, "It's time to buy it, then I'll go home and get the money, the money in the store is not enough." ”
"Well, then you go, don't delay on the way, go early and come back early." Lin Xue waved her hand.
When the time for dinner passed, the people in the restaurant gradually ran out, Lin Xue and Osmanthus cleaned up the table, and went up to the second floor to rest, leaving the big pillar to watch the store below.
"Sister-in-law, you really plan to buy an ox cart, does Uncle Li know?" Osmanthus asked, lying on the bed.
Lin Xue looked at the ceiling, she really wanted to pretend that she didn't hear the latter sentence, was she so useless, buying a cow still had to be approved by the old man, "I haven't told my father yet, it's more convenient to buy an ox cart and deliver food later." ”
Osmanthus turned around and faced Lin Xue face to face, "Sister-in-law, there is something I haven't told you yet, yesterday your sister-in-law came to me, saying that she wanted to come to work in the restaurant, and asked me to dismiss you and the third brother, she can top two people by herself." ”
"So what do you say?" Lin Xue was not surprised, Zhang's person couldn't do anything.
"I said that there are enough people, and my sister-in-law and third brother are also doing a good job, and I don't plan to change people." Osmanthus frowned, "When she came, she brought a bag of snacks, and when she saw that I didn't agree, she brought it back when she left, and said that she would feed the dogs, and she wouldn't give me anything to eat." ”
Lin Xue smiled unkindly, this Zhang family will offend people, "Osmanthus, just ignore her, you can't be angry with that kind of person." ”
Osmanthus nodded, "I know, it's just that I feel uncomfortable, and I am scolded for no reason." ”
The two chatted without a word, just when Lin Xue was about to fall asleep, Li Qi finally came, whispered a few words at the door, Lin Xue washed her face and sobered up, explained a few words to Dazhu and Osmanthus, and got into the carriage and went to the town.
When I arrived in the town, it was already afternoon, and the carriage sent Lin Xue and Li Qi directly to the place where the livestock were sold, and as soon as they got off the car, they smelled a smell of cow dung.
"Big sister, you want to buy a cow, I've got a crush on that one." The owner walked up to say hello warmly.
Lin Xue didn't say anything and pointed to Li Qi beside her, she really didn't know much about cows, and she didn't know which one was good and which one was bad.
"Xiaoxue, let's have this cow." Li Qi said, pointing to one of them.
Lin Xue took a closer look, this cow has smooth fur and full of energy, and a pair of bull's eyes are staring at the boss, especially standing in the herd.
"You two really have a vision, this cow is my best ...... here." The boss introduced it, Lin Xue listened to it in a fog, but she also looked good and nodded and bought it, a total of fifteen taels of silver and bought a cart next door, the boss enthusiastically put the cow in a good way, and gave them a whip, which was a gift that they did not bargain.
When Li Qi set up the car, Lin Xue sat in the car, touching around excitedly, they finally became a car owner, "Boss, let's just go back, I and Osmanthus have said that she will lock the door when the time comes." ”
"Okay, let's go back directly, Feng'er is yelling to take an ox cart." Li Qi was reluctant to whip the cow with a whip, and pulled the rope on the cow's body hard, and the cow also obediently quickened his pace and ran.
"You told Feng'er, does that dad know?" Lin Xue is ready to fight, it's really annoying, you have to worry about this and think about that in everything you do.
"I don't know, I didn't tell my father." Richie's hand slid and gripped the rope again.
"It's okay, let's go back and talk about it." The closer she got to home, the more worried Lin Xue became, and yesterday she told Li Yue that she had no money and bought a cow today, and she didn't know how to be troubled.
"Mother, it's my mother who is back." Li Feng and Yunyun had been waiting at the door, and saw Lin Xue running over on the ox cart, "What an ox cart, Dad, you are awesome." ”
Li Qi was praised with a smile on his face, picked up Li Feng and Yunyun and put them on the ox cart, and drove the cart into Li's house.
"Third brother and sister, you have bought an ox cart." Zhang, who was in the courtyard, saw it and asked.
"Yes, sister-in-law." Lin Xue smiled, "It's about to harvest grain, so our family will buy a cow to help." ”
"It's really rich, it's an ox cart as soon as it is shot." Zhang said sourly, "Brother and sister, Cheng'er is going to take the exam in a few days, and you can borrow this ox cart from us." ”
Heh, I just bought it back and made up my mind, thinking about it is so beautiful, Lin Xue said quietly, "Sister-in-law, this may not work, the money to buy the ox cart is still borrowed from osmanthus, and I said that I would help the restaurant deliver food, so I can't lend it to you." ”
"Brother and sister, Cheng'er's exam is a big deal, how can you not support it." Zhang's voice raised a few degrees, "This is a distraction, and my nephews don't help, white-eyed wolf." ”
Of course, the others heard such a big movement, and they all came out of the house, and the old man saw the ox cart and didn't know what was going on, and asked, "What are you yelling about, third child, you bought this ox cart." ”
"Dad, you don't know, these three houses bought an ox cart, I said that they didn't agree to borrow it for a few days for the Cheng'er exam, it's really unconscionable." Zhang hurriedly said.
The old man's face is a little unsightly, it is a good thing to buy an ox cart, but ...... looked at Li Qi with dissatisfied eyes, "Third child, is this the case, you don't agree to let Cheng'er use it." ”
"No, Dad, this oxcart Dazhu's family also paid for it, saying that they would help deliver food to the restaurant, so they refused the sister-in-law." Li Qi said Lin Xue's nonsense without any burden.
