XVIII. Livestock markets
The four of them also lived in peace for a few days, because Zhou Yunyao was young, so they lived with Zhou Yunxi, as for the woman and Qin Yi, they lived in one place, and the two wings were just opposite, sandwiching Zhou Yunyao's place in the middle.
"Sister Yu, I'll go out with Qin Yi, maybe help me watch Yaoyao?"
On this day, Zhou Yunxi heard Qin Yi say that someone would go to the town to sell calves and lambs in the near future, so he moved his mind. However, Zhou Yunyao was too young and the livestock market was chaotic, so Zhou Yunxi had this idea.
"At this time, only the slaughter will be slaughtered."
The woman's name is An Yu, and when her parents named her as a child, they hoped that she would have a peaceful life and be as gentle as jade, but who knows...... The family was in the middle of the road and was slaughtered, a delicate daughter, and finally became such a personality.
"If you go later, you'll only have cubs of not very good quality."
Qin Yi frowned slightly, looking at An Yu with disapproval in his eyes. An Yu was not surprised by this, she only stood up, looked at Qin Yi, and said, "What? Do you want to fight again? ”
“……”
An Yu's words made Qin Yi and Zhou Yunxi speechless for a moment, and Zhou Yunyao, who was held by An Yu, stared at the three of them with wide eyes, as if she didn't understand how the atmosphere between them had become so strange.
After a long time, Qin Yi was deflated and said, "Then you say, when will you go." ”
"Half an hour later."
Getting Qin Yi's compromising words, An Yu smiled, and then sat back with Zhou Yunyao in her arms, teasing her with the grasshopper she had made up.
Seeing this, Zhou Yunxi didn't say anything more, Qin Yiyi pointed to the ground with one toe, lying on the trunk of a tree and covering his eyes with a leaf, showing that he didn't want to deal with An Yu.
Seeing the two of them like this, Zhou Yunxi secretly felt a little helpless in his heart. Since the third day of living here, these two people have become more and more casual, and they have not shied away from any effort, although they have not broken anything, but they have to grab vegetables for every meal, which is really enough.
"Sister Yu, it's okay after all, why don't you teach me martial arts?" Zhou Yunxi sat on the stone bench opposite An Yu, flipped through the books in his hand, thinking about where he should take Zhou Yunyao to study at the golden shopkeeper tomorrow afternoon, and began to plan the time, "Tomorrow afternoon, I have to trouble you to pick up Yaoyao." ”
"It's okay, Yaoyao, this girl is very cute, I like it." An Yu smiled and pinched Zhou Yunyao's face, "As for martial arts, you can squat for an hour first, and then I'll teach you." ”
Qin Yi moved slightly when he heard this, but since Qin Fengyi had no objection after sending the message back, then Qin Yi simply didn't care. After all, An Yuxue is more suitable for women, although she will be defeated if she encounters an extremely strong enemy, but if Zhou Yunxi really learns well, self-preservation is not a problem.
Thinking of this, Qin Yi simply didn't listen to the conversation between the two, and actually fell asleep after a while!
"Let's go, it's almost time." An Yu stood up after carefully instructing Zhou Yunxi, she was still holding Zhou Yunyao, she didn't seem to feel tired, "That hairless monkey in the tree, hurry down!" ”
An Yu's voice was not small, so when she spit out the first word, Qin Yi had already opened her eyes, and when she heard the latter sentence, Qin Yi's face suddenly turned black as the bottom of a pot.
He knew that if he lived with this woman, nothing good would happen!
"You're going too?" Qin Yi rolled over and got off the tree, stood still and looked at An Yu who was beside Zhou Yunxi, "Didn't you say that you should look at Yaoyao?" ”
"With me holding Yaoyao, can something happen?" An Yu rolled her eyes, her facial expression was sorry for this flower-like face, "What's wrong?" Look down on me? Want to fight? ”
“……”
Qin Yi was speechless for a moment by An Yu's words, and didn't know what to say. Seeing that Zhou Yunxi didn't open his mouth and didn't mean to object, he shut up and didn't answer An Yu's words.
Seeing this, An Yu only felt bored, so she stopped dwelling on it, and turned her heart to tease Zhou Yunyao with a soft smile on her face. Qin Yi had never seen such an An Yu.
A few people turned around to enter the livestock market, smelling this unpleasant smell, Qin Yi and Zhou Yunxi sisters both frowned at the same time, Zhou Yunyao directly covered his nose with his sleeve, and looked at Zhou Yunxi with tears in his eyes.
"Can't stand it when you get to the entrance?" An Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was not affected by this, "Give." ”
As he spoke, An Yu handed each of the three of them a simple veil, but because the veil was too girly, Qin Yi refused. An Yu was not reluctant, and only tied the piece that Qin Yi didn't want to Zhou Yunyao's face.
In this way, the two of them were not veiled.
"Sister Yu doesn't think it smells bad?"
Zhou Yunxi couldn't help but ask, after all, this smell could be smelled through the veil. If she is still like this, wouldn't the smell of An Yu be even stronger?
"It smells bad." An Yu smiled, and then continued: "But I got used to it in the early years, and now I can still stand it." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yunxi shut up for a moment, and intuitively felt that he must have touched on something that An Yu was unwilling to mention. It's also true, An Yu's temperament is not like a down-and-out person, if there is no accident, how can he get used to the taste of the livestock market?
Thinking about this, Zhou Yunxi couldn't help but understand why An Yu was so patient and fond of Zhou Yunyao. Thinking about it, she felt that she saw herself who had been bullied in the past in Zhou Yunyao's body.
"There are seventy-nine taels, and you can buy about ten?" Zhou Yunxi counted the accounts and turned his head to look at An Yu, "Buy more lambs or calves?" ”
"Cattle are easier to feed, so buy more calves." Qin Yi glanced at An Yu, lowered her eyes and slowly spoke, "But after buying it, where do you plan to keep it?" In the yard? ”
These words stopped Zhou Yunxi, she had wanted to look at the village before, but in order to avoid the Wang family and Zhou Quan, she had already set up her home in the town, which made it a lot more troubles and restrictions.
"You can form a plot of land and hire someone to watch it." An Yu spoke softly, "The cattle and sheep dealers in the town all pay the soldiers guarding the town to ask them to help watch it, and then keep it outside the town. ”
"Is that okay?!"
Zhou Yunxi was surprised by this, but there is indeed a lot of land outside the town, and if it is used to raise cattle and sheep, it is indeed suitable. But why does it sound so strange to have the soldiers watch with their help?
"Absolutely." Qin Yi slowly spoke at this time, "The soldiers guarding the town are different from the soldiers who defend against the enemy, their salaries are not high, if they don't earn some silver with the permission of the above, their lives will be no different from ordinary villagers." The only way to make some money is to rely on these methods that both sides are willing to make. ”
With these words, a soldier's face suddenly appeared in Zhou Yunxi's mind. I also made up my mind to go back to him and ask, of course, after buying the calf and lamb, I still have to put it in the house first, bind it to the system, and then bring it over to discuss with the soldier. But in that case, the one who had to set aside some silver as 'wages'.
"Then buy eight heads for the time being, and the remaining eight taels of silver will be used as 'wages' and daily expenses after that."
Zhou Yunxi made up her mind, once she left the rice in the house, a few people would not have to worry about eating and drinking for a few months, and the silver for ordinary food shopping was enough.
After calculating, Zhou Yunxi no longer hesitated and strode inside. According to An Yu's meaning, there will be more lambs and calves left in it that are not sold, although the quality is almost the same, but surrounded by such a taste, few people are willing to stay too long, and few people are willing to take a few more steps inside.
