Chapter 43: Trivia Miscellaneous
There are four bottles and a mirror on the table of the shopkeeper's room, and later Luo Zhi learned that the meaning of the mirror of this rice bottle is calm and stable.
Luozhi followed behind Grandpa, looked up and saw that there was a barbed wire fence above the roof, and there were many bells on the net.
This is like the anti-theft net of later generations, if someone climbs over it and wants to enter the money bank to steal the money, if it touches the wire, the bell on the wire will sound to alarm, the ancients are really infinitely wise.
"Exchange money." Old Man Mu learned the appearance of the person in front of him when he was queuing, and took out a gold ingot and put it on the counter.
The guy on the cabinet glanced at the old man in surprise, picked up the gold ingot, turned it to the bottom, and shouted: "Yongfeng Silver No. Wuxu Spring Xuanzi No. 10 taels of gold and one ingot."
"One hundred and thirty-nine twenty-nine dollars for money."
Seeing that gold could really be exchanged for money, Old Man Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he had bitten into it and estimated that it was real gold, but he was really relieved when he held the silver in his hand.
Afraid of attracting eyes, the Luozhi family did not dare to change more, only brought a gold ingot, and exchanged money once, and had to charge a fee of 100 yuan, Old Man Mu was distressed, so he led the children out of the Yongfeng Silver Account.
Now Luozhi knew that ten taels of gold = one hundred and forty taels of silver, and one tael of gold = 14 taels of silver.
Yongfeng Yinhao and Xuanyuan Building are on East Street, but after two teas, Luozhi and a few people sat in the box drinking tea and eating snacks, and talked to Yao's shopkeeper.
"Xuanyuan Building is a three-entry courtyard, the first entry is a restaurant, the second entry is the Zhutao Pavilion used to tell books and tea rooms, and the third entry is the living place, which has a courtyard between each entry. These two entrances and three entrances are all five girder frame houses, plus five pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, with a construction area of nearly 1,000 square meters, and the cost cost is more than 500 taels."
"I don't know how many yards my brother's family plans to build,"
"You can improve on Xuanyuan Building according to your needs, after all, this restaurant is slightly different from home."
The old man listened to what Shopkeeper Yao said and nodded.
Luozhi in his heart, one person and one room at least four, their relatives are not many, reserve two guest rooms, Luo'an will read and write in the future, the study must be a must, plus the living room for others, canteen, kitchen, toilet, utility room, firewood room, bathroom, nothing else, the basic needs of this more than a dozen. These pavilions and pavilions will definitely not be able to use as many as these five at that time, which can save a little.
Luozhi said this, and the shopkeeper Yao listened to it, thought for a while, and then drew a rough architectural sketch for Luozhi's family.
Luozhi liked it at a glance, the planning and layout of the shopkeeper Yao was reasonable and atmospheric, and the cost was less than three hundred taels of silver, and the old man Mu nodded again and again when he saw it.
Just follow this, enter the courtyard three times, and I'll come.
The shopkeeper Yao reminded the Luozhi family that Li Yayu could be found for the purchase of materials for this house, and through him, it would save trouble and give him a discount compared to others.
Building a house is a big deal.
Many farmers have never built a house in their lifetime. It is not easy to build a house, and the bricks, tiles, sand, and stones needed have to run and pull by themselves – this world does not buy treasure network, Duxi Mall can be purchased online, and it does not support express delivery. If you count the self-prepared wood, it will take a year and a half to prepare only one material.
Therefore, there is a basket of people like Li Yayu, who saves worry and time, because he is familiar with the bosses, how much can be discounted, so there is also a money-saving.
The family thanked the shopkeeper Yao again and again, and Luozhi took a special look when he went out, and the business of this Xuanyuan Building can be said to be full of customers.
I got up too early, and the family didn't have breakfast, so I found a dumpling shop and sat down and waited for the boss to go to breakfast.
"Uncle, you have entered the city today" Mu Yexian drove the ox cart and greeted Old Man Mu.
Mu Yexian is the old man's cousin Mu Guilin, that is, the son of the patriarch of Mujia Village, everyone lives in the same village, and there is not much contact on weekdays, but this Mu Yexian is a good person, and when Luozhi's parents passed away, he helped a lot.
"Yexian, sell peanuts, have you eaten breakfast? I didn't eat and sat down together," said the old man, who stood up happily when he saw his nephew.
"Uncle Ye Xian is good," Luo Zhi and Luo An greeted each other obediently.
"Luozhi, Luo'an, you guys also go to the street."
"Uncle, I came out of breakfast at home, you eat, I have to hurry up to the West Market to occupy a good position, this year's peanut yield is high, it is not easy to sell." Mu Yexian said with a smile, with obvious laugh lines on the side of his mouth.
In her previous life, Luozhi heard her father, who loved to analyze people's faces, say that people with laugh lines around their mouths have a gentle personality, are kind-hearted, and cheerful and can make friends. His father was afraid that she would be deceived, so he often brainwashed her to discern the hearts of others, but unfortunately she always went in and out of the left ear, and now she just wants to listen to him, and she has no chance. Why did you suddenly feel a little sad...... Luozhi sniffed and pressed down, people have to look forward, otherwise they won't be able to live.
"But no, in previous years, as soon as the peanuts were harvested in our village, some people came in to harvest them, but this year there is no movement."
"This thing is rare and expensive, and more is worthless."
Mu Yexian nodded approvingly, greeted the Luozhi family, and drove away.
"Grandpa, did anyone go into the village to harvest peanuts before?" Add some soy sauce to the Luozhishe's dumpling soup, stir it, and give it to Luo'an.
"It's not, in previous years, before I could pull it out, someone came to book, this year is a good year, a bumper harvest, and no one comes in."
"Many villagers rely on peanuts to support their family expenses, like your Uncle Ye Xian, who planted five acres of dryland peanuts in one go, and these thousands of catties of peanuts are enough to choke this year!"
"Our family has little land and less manpower, so it's okay if we don't plant much, but half of the people in Mujia Village have planted peanuts on dry land."
The old man is a little sad, the harvest is not good, everyone is worried, why is it not good to have a good harvest? Just like the saying in later generations, "I have tried my best, but I can't live this life." ”
Luo Zhi listened to Grandpa's sigh and blinked his eyes.
Today's day is good, things are going well, when he found Li Yayu on Liuhou Street, he was about to go out, and when he saw Luozhi's family, he immediately turned back again.
"This thing is easy to do, bricks, tiles, and bluestone can be booked today, and if nothing happens, it can be delivered in three days," Li He was happy in his heart, and there was business coming to the door early this morning.
At that time, several people all got on Li He's mule cart, went to various places according to the list given by Yao's shopkeeper, and booked various materials of bricks, tiles, and stones.
"I'm going to set some boundary stones, and I'm going to use them in this newly bought land." The old man said.
The old man set the boundary stone, took the manifest, and quickly returned. The group is back in town.
"Old Man Mu, Luozhi, I don't know if I should say this or not?" Brother Li sent them to the ground and stood and said in a tangled way.
"What's this, you say," Master Mu said with a smile, Li He, this person he has made a deep acquaintance today, and has some understanding, although he is taking money to do things for others, but he is a person who will come to things, this morning, the materials ran down, and the green bricks alone saved him nearly two taels of silver, compared with paying him six hundred yuan a day, it is really worth the money.
"Old man, this house is not a matter of one or two days, although this material is booked, but there are temporary shortcomings."
"I look at your family's labor, I'm afraid that I can't keep up, and it's troublesome to go into the city without a car, and sometimes you have to pull things, in order to make it easier, you should also consider whether to buy a mule cart, this mule has great strength and strong endurance, and you can do farm work and you can get in and out cheaply?"
"Hey, I like to worry about it, don't think I'm too talkative."
Li He said while holding the reins in one hand.
The old man was stunned, this mule cart is not cheap, a young mule with good teeth costs more than a dozen taels of silver, and with a car, it costs more than three taels of silver, this total is not cheap!
Luozhi felt that Brother Li was right, and also reminded himself of the things he had been ignoring, and when Luo'an entered the school next month and went to the city to study, would he have to ask for a car to pick him up every day?
The complexity required to build a house is as rich as transportation and materials in the previous life, and people are so tired that people are tired of building a house, which is ...... Luo Zhi didn't dare to think about it, and in a word, he suddenly felt that this mule cart was simply a must-have for going out at home.
Buy, buy, buy......
Several people climbed back into the car and went to the livestock trading market in the north of the city.
Luozhi has lived in two lives in the past and present, and it is the first time to come to such a place, the livestock market is so lively, the cattle pulling the sheep and the horses are bustling, crowded, there are cows squeezing the carts, there are sheep jumping people, in and out, carelessly, the big nostrils on the horse's head are blowing above your head......
Only now did Luozhi know that the mule was a baby born after the combination of a male donkey and a mare, and that the male mule was infertile, so it was ......
Luozhi ...... Embarrassment, authentic perversion.
Brother Li picked out a green-mouthed mule for Luozhi's family that was less than five years old, and it cost 12 taels of silver, in his words: good teeth, good appetite, good appetite, great strength, and numb when you work.
Luozhi ......
Old man Mu......
There are cars with mules to sell in the animal husbandry market, and Master Mu paid the money to book, saying that it would be delivered in three days, and everyone happily went out of the market.
"Brother Li, I'll let you work hard for a day today, thank you so much, I have to come home empty, and make something to eat for you", the old man took out a whole tael of silver and handed it to Li Yayu, which is his Chinese money, that is, labor fees.
"Then I have this meal in my heart, I will definitely come," Li He was very happy, this family is open-minded, generous and not embarrassed, and it is worthy of deep friendship.
Going out of the north of the city is the official road out of the city, looking up at the sky, it is not early, Luozhi and they directly led the mule home from the north city. Luo'an and Ah Shu circled around the mule, and they were overjoyed.
The old man did not let Luo'an ride the mule on his back, and he himself led the mule in front, and Luozhi followed the mule behind to see its tail flicking around.
This mule was majestic, with a strong mouth and a bright coat, and was praised everywhere along the way. At this time, Old Man Mu stood still, with a "Mona Lisa"-style reserved smile on his face, which made people take a closer look
。
The old man Mu, who has not been in front of people for most of his life, has become the star of Mujia Village today, and the clansmen surround him, around the mule, and inquire and discuss one by one, Luo Zhiqian estimated that the old man would not be able to get out for a while, and the three of them went.
The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost.
