Chapter 338: Go to the county town to do some business
Wu Guifang heard this, and couldn't help but glare at him lightly. "There's no need!"
"When you go out this time, you just have to spend the money on yourself! Be generous, and you must not let those people outside underestimate you. ”
"Let me tell you, if those people outside look down on you, then your sons and grandchildren will also think that old people like us are incompetent......"
Wu Hongsheng listened and nodded gently. "Daughter-in-law, don't worry! I'm doing this well. ”
Seeing that Wu Hongsheng's clothes were neatly dressed, Wu Guifang was worried that he would walk all the way up the mountain, and the shoes under his feet and the clothes on his body would be covered with mud.
So, Wu Guifang couldn't help but tell him to wait, and then, she hurriedly ran back to the house and cleaned up a new set for him, a black and gray robe, and a pair of black cloth shoes.
After using a schoolbag made of black cloth and putting these things in, Wu Guifang hurriedly stuffed it to Wu Hongsheng.
"Boss, here's a change of clothes, and a change of shoes. I still say the same thing, this person relies on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold. If you walk from this mountain to the county seat, you will definitely be stained with a lot of mud. If you are covered with mud, people will see you, and you will only be ,...... The legs of the countryside that came out of the mountains. They're not going to take us seriously......"
“……”
Seeing that Wu Guifang was thinking about it so comprehensively, Wu Hongsheng said to her at that time, "Okay." I'll take it. ”
……
Seeing Wu Hongsheng taking people and taking the bits and pieces of food at home, Wu Guifang couldn't help but smile.
In this countryside, all that is important is human affection, and what is important is relationship.
Going through relationships and favors requires real gifts.
Some things in the countryside, although not very valuable, nevertheless represent their hearts.
Before Wu Hongsheng walked out of the house, she pulled more than 100 salted duck eggs and salted eggs for him.
There are also a few bamboo baskets of pickled radish dices, pickled mushrooms, pickled bamboo shoots, and chili peppers mixed with radish crispy.
After seeing Wu Hongsheng and his party completely disappear in front of him, Wu Guifang called the people in the family to quickly close the iron door.
"We're a big family, and we won't go out for the next few days."
"Let's open the door when the owner comes back......"
After saying this, Wu Guifang went to her room again and began to renovate those old clothes.
For those old clothes, Wu Guifang already had an idea in her heart now.
These are some old clothes, they are quite tattered, and they are really hard to wear. She had to modify them all.
Like the kind of down jacket with all kinds of small holes everywhere, she had to cut them open and wash the down inside.
After washing, she also plans to transform the more than 10 down jackets into that thick duvet.
Put it on your head at home, and it must be very warm in winter.
As for the surface of the down jacket, she is also resolute not to throw it away. Just call them modified into the upper of winter cotton boots.
In addition, there are other clothes, if the material is rough and rotten, she uses a sewing machine to sew them together little by little. Make them all into that kind of quilt. Or, just cut them into very small squares and make them into that kind of patterned upper.
She wants to make a few more pairs of shoes, so that Wu Hongsheng will have the opportunity to go to the county seat in the future, and then sell them. In this way, Wu Hongsheng can buy a little more food.
Of course, it would be better for him to buy another livestock. For example, cattle that are very good for ploughing the fields.
……
Just when Wu Guifang was working hard with the people in the family, Wu Hongsheng was already sitting on it, and the male mule at the head of the family was on his back.
The Wu family actually raised a donkey.
Moreover, the donkey is older.
The people of the Wu family were worried that something would happen to her, so they didn't let her do heavy work all day long.
Instead, let her have her son, eat and drink well every day. In winter, I slept in that kind of warm house.
So, the donkey is still alive this year.
Moreover, every morning, she can also help the people in the family, grinding beans and making tofu.
And the male mule she gave birth to is almost two years old this year.
A two-year-old mule can do things. You can do your job properly.
Moreover, this mule is likely to be taken care of very well, its fur is very oily and black, its legs and feet are also very strong and powerful, and when it runs, it can also rattle.
Widening those two bright black eyes, everyone could see that this mule was very clever.
He was probably going out for the first time today, so he was very excited. Sometimes he stamped his feet vigorously, and sometimes he shook his mane excitedly.
Wu Hongsheng, who was tall and tall, sat on such an eye-catching mule, and the people who followed closely behind him were full of envy in their eyes.
This mule is a good animal!
If they go to exchange it for money, they dare to guarantee that this thing alone will definitely exceed ten taels of silver!
Ten taels of silver is an astronomical amount for a country man.
There are many, many families with dozens of people, and they can't earn two taels of silver all year round.
Therefore, this old donkey and mule are such animals that ordinary people can't afford to raise at all.
Because Wu Hongsheng was sitting behind the mule, he and his sons, as well as the Duan family, the Niu family, and the people of the Wang family, after two hours, to be precise, more than 4 hours, when they walked to the gate of the county seat, most of them were embarrassed.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the county seat, they took the bamboo tube they had prepared earlier and poured water into their mouths.
"I didn't expect the place where we live to be so far away from the county seat!"
Although they are strong men, they feel mentally exhausted after walking for two hours without stopping.
After drinking the water, one by one, they hurriedly took out the vegetable dumplings they had prepared earlier.
At this time, Wu Hongsheng also took out one for himself, and after fermenting it with mashed potatoes, soybean flour, and multigrain flour, he made two black and yellow steamed buns.
Don't look at the color of this steamed bun, but it tastes quite fragrant.
After a few chews, he could feel the sweetness in his mouth.
This kind of black and yellow steamed bun is paired with the spicy radish at home,...... After eating it in his mouth, Wu Hongsheng felt that his mouth was full of fragrance.
"Come, you can also try this kimchi made by my family!"
"When I went out, my wife asked me to bring several baskets of things and asked me to try them out in this county to see if they could be sold. Regardless of the literacy, as long as we can make money, we didn't waste much effort when we went to the county seat......"
