Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Weasel Greets the Chicken
Fortunately, Uncle Qin is here, Uncle Qin is the only handlebar type in Zhaojia Village, and he has also been to this place in Chechi County twice, Bai Qianning just spoke, and he simply responded, but it took half an hour to find someone.
Uncle Qin told Bai Qianning that there are many uninhabited courtyards in Chechi County, all of which were left after the war and have been empty.
Coupled with the guidance of the workers, Bai Qianning quickly found an empty courtyard.
"That's it, someone will bring a large number of chickens and ducks over later, please go find some bamboo baskets and wooden carts for camels first, these silver taels should be enough."
Bai Qianning said and took out two hundred pieces of silver and handed it to the workers led by him, and the other four or five people followed him to the market.
After the people left, Bai Qianning pushed open the half-hidden door and entered the courtyard, which was very dilapidated, but it could be seen that it was not a small door in the past, and there were all kinds of wells and stone mills in the yard, and there was even a broken carriage parked.
Bai Qianning was a little surprised, but it was not because such a good house would be uninhabited, but because he sighed that the security in Chechi County was too good, if this courtyard was in Zhaojia Village, I was afraid that the inside and outside of the house would have been looted.
But now is not the time to sigh about these, two hundred chickens and ducks in the space is enough, but one by one from the space is also very difficult, in order not to let people see the clues, Bai Qianning can only speed up, soon there are more than 50 chickens and ducks in the yard, these chickens and ducks suddenly arrived in the new environment, and soon began to fly all over the house, the cry is even more undulating, shouting people panic.
Bai Qianning originally wanted to catch all the two hundred at once, and then let the workers deliver them slowly, but it wasn't until there was a knock outside the door that Bai Qianning was so tired and out of breath that he only caught about a hundred.
In order to avoid being exposed, Bai Qianning could only stop what he was doing and open the courtyard door, and then the workers pushing the wooden chariots came in.
Looking at the chickens and ducks all over the yard, the workers were surprised at first, and then looked at Bai Qianning and asked, "This is all going to be sent?" ”
"Oh! It's good to send fifty today, and the rest will be sent tomorrow, and I need two people to guard the rest of the chickens and ducks for me tonight and tomorrow night, one hundred yuan each, I don't know if anyone is willing? ”
The workers listened to Bai Qian's gesture so generous, how could there be any reason for reluctance, and they all rushed to grab the work.
"White girl, I'm here, I'm the best at taking care of the house." A very stocky worker stepped forward and took a step forward as he spoke.
"I'm coming, I know how to raise chickens and ducks best, if the white girl doesn't come tomorrow, I can also call my mother-in-law to stir chicken food to feed, and make sure that these chickens and ducks don't lose half of their meat." Another worker also rushed to speak.
After he reminded him of this, Bai Qianning remembered the matter of feeding, hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Well, let's do it, you all come to guard me, these two days will be a little harder, there are five of you, and I will give you two hundred taels each of you for the wages of transportation, half of it will be settled today, and I will pay the other half after two days." ”
"Done! Don't worry, girl, we'll get you covered. ”
The workers responded in succession, and took the five hundred silver coins handed over by Bai Qianning, their eyes were shining, they did work on weekdays, and they only earned thirty or forty wen after working all day, and it was good luck to meet such a generous rich man today.
"Then you can start transporting it, transport it to Xiangmanlou, don't go wrong."
Bai Qianning commanded on the one hand, and helped the chickens and ducks in the bamboo basket on the other.
Seeing this, the workers led by him hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, you can make a mistake anywhere, and the incense will definitely not be in the building, brothers, hurry up and move." ”
"Okay!"
The rest of the workers answered, and quickly grabbed chickens and ducks all over the yard and put them in the frames.
After the car was loaded, the workers greeted Bai Qianning and pushed the chariot to Xiangmanlou. And Bai Qianning stayed in the yard and watched the rest of the chickens and ducks until they turned back.
It stands to reason that Bai Qianning shouldn't have trusted these workers so easily, but in the spirit of such good security in Chechi County, she chose to believe it once. Besides, even if she walked on her front foot, these people sold these chickens and ducks on her back foot, she wouldn't feel anything, the things in the space seemed to be inexhaustible, and she would just grab some if she didn't have them.
Besides, the amount of silver she gave was not a small amount, and these workers would not take this risk for the sake of petty profits, this was something sent to Xiangmanlou, even if they were not afraid of themselves, they should take care of the power of Xiangmanlou.
And the reason why she didn't choose to do it every day and catch it for them is because she still has very important things to do tomorrow, and she can't waste all her time here for these chickens and ducks.
Now that the first batch has been sent, Bai Qianning explained the time for the workers to deliver tomorrow, and then walked out of the courtyard gate.
Uncle Qin was still waiting at the gate of the city with the supplies in the carriage, and Bai Qianning bought some bowls, chopsticks, teacups and other things on the way before rushing over to meet him.
Because the back of your carriage was already stuffed, Bai Qianning could only sit side by side with Uncle Qin on the wooden platform in front of him all the way and rush home.
The road was also smooth, but I didn't expect to arrive at the entrance of the village before I vaguely saw the Zhao family's family of four and four Buddhas in the middle of the road, and Bai Qianning's heart instantly cooled half.
Isn't this here to settle accounts with yourself?
When she came out of Tianxiang Building, she told Han Ziyan that as long as she was punished slightly, she didn't know if Han Ziyan had greeted the people below. If the two daughters of the Zhao family really went to Hualou for the silver to do that kind of thing, wouldn't they have to settle the account on her head when they came back to their senses?
Bai Qianning wasn't afraid of them, but he finally regained his freedom, and he was busy all day, and he really didn't have the energy to talk nonsense with them anymore.
But just when she patted her head and wanted to cry without tears, a crisp shout came from her ears.
"Mother!"
Then, looking in the direction of the sound, you could see Zhan Qianche's sturdy figure slowly approaching from the gradually darkening moonlight, and he was still holding a small figure in his arms.
I don't know why, seeing such a scene, her eyes were inexplicably moist. She deliberately arranged a good time to send Xiaodouding back tomorrow, but after so many days of getting along day and night, would she really be willing?
"Are you here to pick up your mother?" Bai Qianning took Xiao Douding from Zhan Qianche's arms and asked.
"Well, thank you for saying that there is an idea that bad people are going to beat my mother, so I will follow my father to protect my mother."
Xiao Douding fanned a pair of big eyes, affectionately put his little face on Bai Qianning's shoulder, and asked again after a while: "Did my mother buy sugar gourd for Xiao Douding today?" ”
"Poof!" Bai Qianning smiled dumbly, pinched her little nose and said, "You snack goods, can I not buy them for you?" My mother bought a carriage of things today, everything to eat and play, we will go home first, and my mother will bring it to you. ”
"Hmm!"
Xiao Douding responded obediently, and hurriedly stretched out a hand to greet Zhan Qianche and said, "Daddy, sit up, my mother bought us something delicious." ”
"I'll just go, and there will be a ......" Zhan Qianche replied, and his dark gaze turned to the Zhao family who was standing not far away, as if reminding Bai Qianning.
And Bai Qianning, who was still worried, suddenly felt full of confidence because of Zhan Qianche's appearance, glanced contemptuously in the direction of the Zhao family, and deliberately raised his voice Uncle Qin said: "Uncle, please send us back, that family, don't pay attention, if they dare to come up and stop the car, they will drive the horses to step over them." ”
Of course, Bai Qianning deliberately said this to scare the Zhao family, but what she didn't expect was that the Zhao family didn't mean to stop the car at all, he Qin Lao Bo drove the carriage past them, and the Zhao family followed the carriage without saying a word, until the carriage drove into Zhan Qianche's small courtyard, Bai Qianning faintly heard Liu Cuiping greet Zhao Da Niu and Zhao Erniu and said, "Go!" Get up there and help! ”
Bai Qianning thought she had heard it wrong, but she didn't expect that as soon as she jumped out of the carriage, Zhao Daniu came over and said with a flattering face: "I see that Miss Bai has bought a lot of things, it must be very difficult to move, let's help you!" ”
"Yes, let's move together!"
Zhao Erniu also echoed on the side, and was about to hug the cloth on the carriage.
"Don't! You weasels give New Year's greetings to chickens, what kind of heart do you have? ”
Bai Qianning hurriedly spoke up to stop it, but she couldn't figure out what was going on in her heart, but based on past experience, she was told that it would definitely be nothing good for the Zhao family to be so attentive all of a sudden.
