The Wang family was worried about selling cakes, and Jin Mo also knew the whole story the next day, but she didn't take it to heart, it would happen sooner or later.

The people in the village are not rich, they are all racking their brains to increase the income of the family, and jealousy is inevitable, although living in a village, it cannot be said that everyone is simple, scheming people also exist, and there are many cheeky people.

She who has helped her or Zhong Dashan is also willing to help, but the kind of person who is unwilling to pay, but wants to let others pay, sorry, she is not the Virgin.

She can repay a few points for being good to her, and if she is not good for her family, I'm sorry, where to go back and forth, they don't owe anyone.

In order to be able to make sure that they don't cause big trouble in building a house, this month, the couple is very diligent, they used to go out of the stall once every five days, but now as long as there is something, Zhong Dashan will take it to the county seat to sell.

I promised to go again in five days, but Jin Mo kept his promise and did go there in person and instructed Chef You.

The couple didn't hide it from the people in the village, every time they went out with so many things, they came back empty, and no matter how stupid they were, they could see what the reason was.

There was a lot of discussion about Zhong Dashan's family, and some of the words faintly alluded to Zhong Qiu's family, saying that they might regret it in the future, just looking at the little profit in front of them, but discarding the wealth.

In short, Zhong Qiu's family inexplicably became the object of everyone's discussion after tea and dinner again, and this discussion was even worse after Zhong Dashan and Jin Mo came back from buying a donkey.

It's not an option to borrow someone else's ox cart all the time, you have to have a means of transportation that belongs to your own.

The carriage is too expensive, and she can't afford it now.

Buying cattle, hey, the imperial court has a lot of restrictions on cattle, and their family has a total of two acres of land, which is still the worst Zhong Dashan can do it alone.

Da Chu has a special law to protect cattle, no one even if it is a royal family can not slaughter the cattle at will, if the family buys the cattle must go to the county government for the record, can not abuse the cattle, the cattle are born and die of old age, sickness or accident, must be checked by the people of the yamen before eating the meat of the cattle.

If you break the law, you will be exiled for thousands of miles, beaten with a stick for 30 years, and confiscated from your family's property, which is a very severe punishment.

Therefore, there are only two cows in Zhongjia Village, one is from Zhong Dashan's grandfather's family, and the other is from another family in the village who is also surnamed Zhong.

Raising a cow is like raising an ancestor, and in the end, Jin Mo gave up the plan to buy a cow.

"Xianggong, we go to my grandfather's house to borrow an ox cart too often, we still buy a donkey ourselves and make a donkey cart, so that it is more convenient for you to go to the county seat." With his craftsmanship, he can directly make a carriage like a horse-drawn carriage that can shelter from the wind and rain.

"You're right, grandpa doesn't say it, cousins-in-law must have ideas in their hearts." Although every time he borrowed an ox cart, he would bring something to the grandfather, but the more times they went, they would have a sense that they should have, and if they gave less or forgot to give one day, the appearance of the meal would become very ugly.

"Tomorrow we won't borrow ox carts, let's go to the county seat to see if there are any donkeys to sell." Jin Mo suggested.

"Then we'll check it out tomorrow." If you have money in your hand, you can't afford to buy it.

The weather is gradually heating up, and now you can wear a thin jacket, if you exercise a little more, you will still feel quite hot.

Today, they happened to run into Jinmo, a big bazaar that only existed in the first quarter, and sold several times more things than usual.

This time, I also encountered a seller, which made Jin Mo, who received education in the 21st century, a little unacceptable.

Looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes were a little sour.

When an old woman wearing a patched cheek with sunken cheeks saw the dressed person, she pointed to the girl who was kneeling on the ground with her head bowed and her body small, and shouted in a small voice: "This is my granddaughter, who is six years old today, can do needlework, eats little, and sells only six hundred copper plates." ”

A middle-aged woman passing by with meat in her hand looked at the girl pitifully, and asked with a straight face, "Are you her own mother?" ”

The old woman, a middle-aged woman, wanted to buy a girl, and hurriedly replied seriously: "Yes, if you don't believe it, you can go to our village to inquire." ”

The middle-aged woman snorted coldly and said, "I don't think you are her own grandmother at all, otherwise how could you sell your own granddaughter." ”

The old woman saw that everyone was looking at her with contempt, and selling her granddaughter was enough to make her feel uncomfortable, but now she was even more sad, so she almost cried, and said in a choked voice: "It's not that I'm ruthless, my family has fifteen people, only six acres of land, and can't feed so many people. ”

The middle-aged woman listened to the old woman's words, and her face suddenly realized, and her eyes showed some sympathy, "Why does your family only have six acres of land?" ”

"Hey, last year, the old man and his youngest son fell ill one after another, and they sold ten acres of land to buy medicine, who knows how long it has been, my eldest son broke his leg again, and the family was emptied." Speaking of those things at home, the old woman cried with a whimper.

After listening to their conversation, Jin Mo felt glad for the original body, no matter what, the Jin family didn't think about selling her, although it was better to do a lot of work than to sell.

Once you are sold, you really don't know what your fate will be, if you are sold into the Qinglou, then there is really no hope in this life.

Thinking of this golden foam, my mood suddenly deteriorated.

Great Chu was a feudal dynasty, and the population could be bought and sold, and it was also protected by the law.

"Hey~~~" Jin Mo sighed softly.

Everything is caused by poverty, and if the family can get by, they are willing to do things that discredit them.

Zhong Dashan saw that his daughter-in-law was pale, and he didn't know how to comfort her for a while, there was a place in the county town that specialized in selling people.

"Daughter-in-law, don't think about it, don't you want to buy donkeys, let's quickly sell what we have in our hands, so we can buy donkeys."

"It's just a little uncomfortable." Half of their fixed booth is already occupied by people this time, and this is a place where there is no owner, first come, first served.

Nodding to the people on the side, the husband and wife put out their things as before, the variety increased, but the speed of selling did not slow down much, compared with others, their business here has become a unique existence, so that the people on the side of the people have envy, people are more popular than people.

In the same way, it inspires others.

"I said two dogs, why are you so stubborn, you have to sell two donkeys together."

"Ergouzi, you haven't been able to sell the donkey for several days, according to your stubbornness, you still can't sell it today."

The two strong men selling vegetables should have known the middle-aged man who sold donkeys and had been persuading him.

The second dog is of medium stature, with a square face, small eyes, blank eyes, frowns, looking depressed and unsatisfactory, shaking his head and saying to the two strong men: "This donkey is a husband and wife, my father said, they can't be split and sold." ”

"Ergouzi, I didn't say you, why don't you open your mind, you cost eight taels of silver for this pair of donkeys, who can afford such a high price?"

"That's right, two dogs, you just listen to our persuasion, split and sell, four taels for male donkeys, five taels for female donkeys, one tael more than selling them together, go back and tell your father that it's okay to sell them in pairs." Don't be so brainless. ”

"No, I promised my father, so I can't lie to him."

"You~~~"

"Ergouzi, think about it, what are you selling donkeys for??" Another strong man stopped the man from the same village who was about to go crazy and shook his head at him.

The sound of the donkey's cry attracted Jin Mo's attention, and they were about to buy a donkey, and someone brought a pillow when they fell asleep.

"Xianggong, donkey." Jin Mo's eyes lit up, and he pushed Zhong Dashan beside him.

"Daughter-in-law, I saw it." Zhong Dashan was almost pushed by Jin Mo and fell, but fortunately, he stabilized quickly, and he was very helpless about his daughter-in-law's actions.

This donkey can still run, with so much strength.

"Xianggong, I'm sorry. It's just a little excited. Jin Mo pursed her lips and said.

"It's fine. It's not about looking at the donkey, and it's not about stopping people. ”

"Hey!"

"Uncle, you wait." Jin Mo chased the middle-aged man who sold the donkey two steps and stopped him.

Ergouzi looked up at Jin Mo, and saw that the clothes she was wearing were not much better than his, so he didn't say anything, and was ready to continue walking.

"Uncle, uncle. My family is going to buy donkeys. Jin Mo saw that people were leaving, and hurriedly called people to stop.

"You want to buy donkeys?"

"Yes, that's my father-in-law." Jin Mo pointed at Zhong Dashan and said.

Zhong Dashan kept looking at Jin Mo, saw her pointing at himself, and nodded to her.

The second dog, who sold donkeys, saw that there was a little more hope in his heart, and followed Jin Mo to their stall.

"Xianggong, I don't understand the donkey, you can watch and buy it." It's a huge problem.

She has seen donkeys, but she really doesn't know anything about how to buy and sell, how to see whether donkeys are good or bad, so this burden has to fall on Zhong Dashan.

"Uncle, how old is your donkey, has the female donkey given birth?" Zhong Dashan asked while looking at the teeth of the two donkeys, and lifted their tails to see if there was thin feces on their ans.

The second dog came to his senses at this time, and the gloom on his face decreased a little, "The male donkey is five years old, the female donkey is six years old, and the female donkey has given birth to a child." ”

The lifespan of a donkey is about twenty years, and a five or six-year-old donkey is equivalent to a human youth.

"What about your donkey, the donkey born to a she-donkey?" After Zhong Dashan read it, he felt that this donkey could be bought.

"It's already sold." The second dog said softly.

Zhong Dashan nodded, and then asked some more questions, and Ergouzi didn't feel impatient at all, but told him truthfully.

Jin Mo watched the two of them go back and forth and ask and answer, they were a little speechless, they just bought a donkey, what are so many questions. She didn't interrupt them, though.

"Daughter-in-law, I think it's okay."
