Chapter 20 Large-scale procurement

Mu Zewu also nodded when he heard that Mu Zhijin wanted to buy a donkey cart, it was more convenient to have a donkey cart at home, so he said: "Catch the market today, there are still donkeys to sell in the livestock market this afternoon, let's go and see first, if there is no satisfaction, we will come again next time." ”

"Well, let's go and have a look first!" Mu Zhijin also knew that this buying and selling livestock was not a simple matter, and he didn't know much about it, so he had to trouble Uncle Zewu to help take a look, and if he could buy it today, he would buy it.

So a few people drove the donkey cart to the Anyang County livestock market.

As soon as he approached the livestock market, Mu Yunyi smelled a foul smell of feces, frowned, but had to endure it, after all, this ancient main means of transportation still relied on livestock, but it could not be disliked.

The donkey cart walked slowly, Mu Zewu looked over one by one, and the road was tied to the side of the horse, ox, donkey, which was about to be bought and sold, because it was still a little difficult to find a good donkey in the afternoon, but in the end, Mu Zewu saw a good donkey.

"How do you sell this donkey?" asked Mu Zewu, who stopped the donkey cart and pointed to a half-sized donkey on the side.

Mu Yunyi looked in the direction that Mu Zewu pointed, this donkey didn't look big, it should not be fully adult, but it looked very energetic, and its limbs were quite strong.

"This guest officer has good eyesight, and I don't want much, so the guest officer will give two taels of silver in the afternoon. The donkey seller said.

"Two taels is expensive, let's do less!" Mu Zewu glanced at the donkey and said, "Two taels of silver is the price of buying an adult donkey, although your donkey is strong but not an adult, I still have to spend forage to feed, and less." ”

"Okay, just one or two or eight dollars, no matter how little I don't sell. The donkey seller said, "I see that I have a donkey myself, and I can see that my donkey is not an ordinary donkey, although I am underage, but it is worth this price." (Note: 1 tael of silver = 1000 yuan, 1 money = 100 yuan)

"This ······" Mu Zewu pretended to think for a while, then glanced at the back of the donkey seller and said, "The boss can give me this old donkey cart?"

"You say this?" the donkey seller looked sideways at the old donkey cart behind him, "This is the donkey cart of the donkey I sold in the morning, I originally thought of taking it back to make firewood, if you want it, take it." ”

"Then thank you boss!" Mu Zewu smiled, then looked at Mu Zhijin sitting beside him and said, "Zhijin, what do you think of this donkey?"

"Well, it looks good. Mu Zhijin nodded, and then gave the donkey seller two taels of silver, and made up two hundred yuan, and the donkey seller kindly put the donkey cart on the donkey, and gave his donkey whip to Mu Zhijin.

Mu Yunyi looked at his little donkey cart, will he be regarded as a car owner from now on!

Then the four of them drove two donkey carts to carry out a sweep in Anyang County, buying pots and pans, rice and flour to pillows and quilts, and Mu Zhijin's three siblings each bought two sets of thin cotton clothes and two sets of thick winter clothes.

Under Mu Yunyi's repeated requests, it is natural that girls' mirrors, combs and jewelry are indispensable, although they are all cheap, but Mu Yunyi and Mu Yunxi are still very happy.

"Brother, I want to eat pastries. Mu Yunyi sat on his donkey cart and pointed to a dim sum shop, the pastries given by Aunt Su last time were very delicious, Mu Yunyi had been hungry for a long time, and he couldn't treat his stomach badly if he was rich today.

"Well, but you can't buy more, you have to buy an extra one, and let Uncle Zewu take it back for Grandma Zhang to eat in a while. Mu Zhijin took out a tael of silver from his arms and gave it to Mu Yunyidao.

"Got it!" Mu Yunyi took the silver from Mu Zhijin's hand, and happily got out of the carriage and walked towards the dim sum shop.

This ancient dim sum is also varied, as soon as he entered the door, Mu Yunyi was fascinated by these exquisite dim sum, but the more exquisite the dim sum, the more expensive it is, and in the end, Mu Yunyi could only sigh that he was not a rich man and couldn't afford to eat a box of dim sum of several taels of silver, so he had to choose four boxes of cheap dim sum for dozens of dollars.

Carrying snacks, Mu Yunyi happily got into the donkey cart, so the group of four people and two donkey carts left Anyang County.

Mu Zewu and Mu Zhijin drove the donkey cart directly towards the new yard of Mu Zhijin's three siblings, and when they returned to the new yard, the sun had already set halfway up, so the four of them hurriedly unloaded the things on the donkey cart and put them where they should be.

When the sun set, Mu Zhijin's three brothers and sisters saw Mu Zewu off at the gate of the courtyard, but they also took a box of snacks and a bag of rice for Mu Zewu to take back, which was regarded as thanking Mu Zewu for his help today.

"Sister, let's light the oil lamp when it's dark!" Mu Yunyi looked at the six newly bought oil lamps on the table, and finally didn't have to spend the night without lights anymore.

"Okay," Mu Yunxi was happy all day today, poured the oil lamp on the lamp oil, and lit it with flint and steel, and immediately the originally dark hall brightened up a lot.

"Put this on again, and you won't be afraid of being blown out by the wind. Mu Yunyi picked up the lampshade on the side, the white lampshade did not hide the light of waiting, but gave people a hazy beauty.

"I'll close the door and the back door, let's make dinner first, and I'll clean up my room later. At this time, Mu Zhijin walked in and said.

"Well, I bought some ready-made noodles by the way when I was buying food today, so let's eat noodles when I'm tired all day today, and I'll rest early for a while." Mu Yunxi said.

"Well, I'm here to help. Mu Yunyi volunteered, thinking about the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the kitchen, and he didn't have to eat dishes with only salt in the future.

The evening breeze blows, a meal brother and sister three are happy, although they are tired for a day, no one feels tired, sitting in the dining room next to the hall, the three brothers and sisters have a feeling of being separated from the world, obviously yesterday the three brothers and sisters still lived in a thatched hut to live a hungry and cold life, today they lived in such a big yard, lit an oil lamp and ate fragrant noodles, can only say that life is impermanent!

Just like in the past, when the father and mother of the three brothers and sisters were still there, although they did not live a rich and noble life, they were always happy, loved by their fathers and mothers, and the brothers and sisters were also happy, but since the father and mother left and disappeared one after another, life fell to the bottom all of a sudden, and every day was like a pig and a dog.

Now, perhaps such a day is to make up for the years of suffering in the past!

The three brothers and sisters ate the noodles, cleaned up the kitchen together, and then one of them took an oil lamp into the inner courtyard, Mu Yunyi and Mu Yunxi naturally lived in the two rooms that were prepared for women at first glance, and Mu Zhijin lived in the largest room next to Mu Yunxi, which was also proposed by Mu Yunyi, saying that his brother would be the head of the family when he was older, so he naturally lived in the largest room.

Making the bed and quilt, Mu Zhijin's three brothers and sisters slept on their own beds in their respective rooms, covered with their own warm quilts, and their hearts were also extremely excited, Mu Yunyi quickly fell asleep when she smelled the smell of new cotton wool.
