Chapter Seventy-Nine: Running a Farm

"White girl, are you going to send chickens and ducks again? Our brother didn't take any other work, we all waited. ”

The young man at the head stepped forward and flattered.

Bai Qianning was quite surprised, and only asked, "How do you conclude that I will come today?" ”

"We asked when we sent it yesterday, and the people in Xiangmanlou said that you have to send another hundred over." The other young man scratched his head and smiled stupidly.

"You're clever, and I'll save you trouble." Bai Qianning smiled, but he didn't notice Yan Moze and Wei Qi, who were already lying on the eaves.

Yan Moze was dressed in an ink-colored robe, his figure was completely hidden behind two cypress trees entrenched between the rubble, and a pair of inquiring eyes fell straight on Bai Qianning.

I watched her support the laborers in the courtyard outside the courtyard, and then turned into a yard of chickens and ducks with her bare hands. Not to mention Yan Moze, who saw it for the first time, even Wei Qi was shocked again, obviously Bai Qianning's speed this time can be described as dumbfounded.

Seeing such a vision with his own eyes, Yan Moze did not choose to expose it and then get to the bottom of it, but stood up and ordered Wei Qi behind him: "Let's go, go back, this matter is not allowed to be known to anyone, even the head of the family." ”

"Yes!" Wei Qi hurriedly responded, and then with a light tap on his toes, he disappeared above the eaves with his master.

Bai Qianning roughly counted the chickens and ducks taken out of the space, and deliberately opened the door for a while before opening the door to welcome the workers outside, this yard has a back door, and the workers heard Bai Qianning say that the chickens and ducks were transported from the back door last time, so there was no suspicion. Those who do their job have all the corpses transported, and they don't have so much curiosity.

Bai Qianning paid two taels of silver, and specially gave an extra two percent, and then explained a few words, and they delivered the goods with a thousand thanks.

Thinking that he had to buy cloth supplies, Bai Qianning also walked out of the courtyard quickly, and walked along the most prosperous street to the city gate, buying a bunch of rice, flour, grain, pots and pans, cotton shoes, cloth, and various melons, fruits, and snacks.

She gave the money happily, and the shopkeeper was also attentive, sending the little servant to follow her all the way to the newly bought carriage at the city gate. After placing the things, Bai Qianning and Uncle Qin drove the carriage all the way back to the village.

Uncle Qin knew that the Zhao family was here to earn silver, so he didn't feel strange when he saw that they didn't come back with him, but he couldn't help but sigh along the way: "White girl, did this Zhao family really go to that kind of place to earn silver?" To say that Liu Cuiping is a, why don't you think it's too much, her eldest girl and second girl are two yellow flower girls, how can they marry someone when they go to that kind of place! ”

"Listen to Uncle Qin, then Liu Cuiping is a restless person?"

Bai Qianning seemed to have tasted something from Uncle Qin's words, and only asked.

Uncle Qin opened the chatterbox, but he didn't mean to hide it, but said: "What kind of person is she Liu Cuiping, the whole village knows in their hearts, but he Zhao Tiezhu doesn't know, after all these years, he has raised such a big son for nothing, and he still hurts like a baby every day, and if he wants to change someone else, I'm afraid that he will drown in the ice hole a long time ago." ”

"So Zhao Laosan is not Zhao Tiezhu's son, but the village chief Zhao Laogen?"

Bai Qianning was so surprised that she could stuff a steamed bun in her mouth, although she listened to it when the Zhao family was fighting yesterday, but now from Uncle Qin's mouth, the credibility is completely different.

Seeing her so surprised, Uncle Qin smiled again and said: "You are simply redeemed, otherwise the dirty water of the Zhao family may still be able to dye you, in fact, not to mention Zhao Laosan, you just look at which of the two daughters of the Zhao family looks like Lao Tiezhu, and you will count it in your heart." She Liu Cuiping has been married to Zhao Tiezhu for many years, from the village chief to the homeless, but anyone who is a little thief has never been hooked up with by her. ”

Hearing this, Bai Qianning recalled the three faces of the Zhao family's father and daughter, and only felt a chill, feeling that this Zhao Tiezhu was not a green hat on his head, but the green grassland of the entire Zhao family village!

Along the way, Bai Qianning and Uncle Qin chatted about a lot of old anecdotes about Zhaojia Village, and returned to the village unconsciously.

Seeing that Bai Qianning was back, the stone and the Xu family sisters hurriedly stepped forward to help carry things. Seeing a large pile of rare white flour grain and flower cloth being moved out of the car, the three brothers and sisters' eyes were straight.

"Sister Qian, what are you going to do when you buy so many materials? I look at this pattern like the style often worn by the ladies of the rich and noble families in the county, and I get a lot of silver, right? ”

Xu Xiuzhu asked as if she was looking at a flower, holding the light pink embroidered cloth in her hand.

Bai Qianning knew that he had chosen the right one when he looked at her like that, and bent his eyes into crescents and laughed: "I bought these fabrics to make spring clothes for everyone, and now the one in your hand is for you. ”

"What did Sister Shallow say! There is no positive type. Xu Xiuzhu was embarrassed, and hurriedly hugged the cloth and ran into the house with a red face.

Seeing her so shy, Bai Qianning smiled heartily, handed another goose-yellow fabric in his hand to Xu Xiumei and said: "I see that you always wear those yellow cloth shoes on weekdays, and I guess you like this fabric too, and you can match it with a set of shoes, so quickly take it in and put it away, and there will be new clothes to wear in a few days." ”

"Do I have that too?"

Xu Xiumei happily took the cloth, touched the pattern on the material with her slightly rough and yellowed fingers characteristic of the farmer's daughter, and then nodded heavily, and entered the house with the cloth.

Seeing that they all liked it like this, Bai Qianning pulled out three more dark cotton cloth pieces and said to the stone that had just returned from carrying the grain: "This is for you and your father and mother, and there are still three horses left in the carriage and they will be carried to my house. ”

"Oh! Yes! White girl, you rest, I'll move it. ”

Shi Shi replied with a thought but looked stunned, and stopped the three pieces of cloth in Bai Qianning's hand with one hand, and carried them into the house together with the remaining cloth in the carriage.

Aunt Xu, who was originally busy cooking inside, heard Xu Xiuzhu and the two sisters say that Bai Qianning bought fabrics for them, pulled up her apron, wiped the water on her hands, and greeted Uncle Xu together.

"Shallow girl, why do you buy such things again, this, this is too expensive."

Aunt Xu couldn't help but chatter, if she wants to say that Bai Qianning does things generously, she knows, but it is always the kindness of white-collar people, and they still have some trouble in their hearts when they take other people's things for nothing.

"Where is the aunt, the silver is earned and spent, besides, I didn't buy this thing for nothing, no, there is something to trouble Uncle Xu now."

Bai Qianning said and looked at Uncle Xu who was standing aside.

Hearing this, Uncle Xu said very happily: "If you say that it is not troublesome, you can say anything, your Uncle Xu has no great ability, and you can do rough work and errands." ”

"Just wait for Uncle Xu's words!" Bai Qianning said with a smile, then turned his head to look at Uncle Qin and said, "I'm afraid that Uncle Qin will also have to help with this matter." You don't know, I went to Chechi County this time, and made friends with the young owner of Xiangmanlou, the young owner is also a kind-hearted person, knowing that our village's livelihood depends on farmland, and the villagers are not easy, no, the young owner decided to set up a farm in the village, let the villagers work in the factory, and give two taels of silver per person a month. ”

"Two taels a month? I'm here, I heard you right, right? ”

Aunt Xu tugged at her earlobe with her hand, for fear that she had heard it wrong, so she hurriedly asked.

"That's right, in order to show sincerity, the young owner gave me a deposit of one hundred taels first." Bai Qianning said and stretched out his hand to cover it with his sleeve pocket, took a hundred taels of silver out of the space, and then said: "It's just that this farm is also very laborious to run, the first thing is to build a factory and recruit people, I am not familiar with the life of this village, I am afraid that I have to ask Shu and Uncle Qin to ask, let's set twenty people first, call all the work that you can do at home, and the rest will go to the village to find it, no matter how you work, first of all, you have to be honest and reliable, and be humble and willing to learn." ”、

Hearing Bai Qianning say this, Uncle Qin only felt that the whole person was excited, and hurriedly packed the ticket and said: "This is no problem, the second and third children of my family can come, and when the boss comes back from the county at the end of the month, I will also let him quit his job and come and follow." The two sons of the Li family are also good, so I'll ask later. ”
