Thirty-seven: shopping in the county, Zhitian returns to the village
Chu Junzhu also went to ask He Qingqing and Shi Gongzi if they wanted to go to the county seat with him, or if there were anything that needed to be purchased, they could help buy it.
He Qingqing, who had not yet said the words of refusal, was once again preempted by Shi Gongzi.
"Then let's go together." Shi Gongzi said with a smile.
He Qingqing & Chu Junzhu: ......
"Alright, let's leave tomorrow morning." Chu Junzhu also said with a smile, and then left.
The next day, several people set off for the county seat.
However, the road was very calm, and there was no encounter with the banditry incident last time.
Thinking that the bandits might have happened to pass by there last time, and they met Bai Shi and his party who happened to pass by, thinking of slaughtering a fat sheep and taking two little girls back, who would have thought that they would become someone else's little fat sheep.
It can be said that he broke his wife and accompanied the soldiers.
Chu Junzhu also felt strange about Bai Shi's encounter with bandits before.
After all, the people of Qiyuan Village have been following this path all year round, and they have not encountered any bandits. Although few people in Qiyuan Village go out, and generally the people in the village are self-sufficient, there are still people like Chu Junzhu who take things to the county town to exchange money, and Chu Junzhu has never heard of anyone encountering bandits.
Of course, one of the big possibilities is that the people in Qiyuan Village are not very rich, and they usually live a self-sufficient life, and there is no extra spare money left.
And the bandits disdain this little snack and prefer to waste their time on some big fat sheep.
After all, the robbery of the people in Qiyuan Village is a loss-making business. For bandits who like a book of profits, naturally they will not do this.
After arriving in the county seat, several people went straight to the place where poultry and pigs were sold, trying to find a better product in advance.
In the place of sale, there are already a few people queuing in front, but most of them are women in their 40s, who are constantly patrolling between the piglets, patting the piglet's fleshy body from time to time, or checking some places on the piglet's body, and then looking at the piglet's teeth, very carefully, it is bound to find the most beautiful piglet.
The dealer is weighing a woman and calculating the price of a piglet. The woman held the piglet and bargained, her mouth was very sharp, the bargaining was very fierce, and the big truths were all in a bunch, and when she listened to it, she thought that she was going to become a living Buddha of all sentient beings.
And the dealer is not a vegetarian, let the women be thirty-seven twenty-one, wear out the skin of the mouth, always smile, one or two thousand gold returned, heard He Qingqing think that he had met a certain treasure customer service, and the picture in front of him became "Dear, do you have any questions?" "Dear, thank you for your patronage".
In the end, the women also wanted to give full play to the decades of inventory in their stomachs that they had quarreled with others, but they were persuaded to retire by the little sisters who bought pigs with stronger combat effectiveness in the back, no, the old sisters gave their strength to retreat.
The woman gave the money, held the pig in her arms, and left the field in a dismal manner.
The old sister stepped forward to pay the money and take the pig, holding the pig in her arms, hiding her merit and fame.
It didn't take long for the dealers to be lively here, and many people came here to buy pigs, and at this time it was also the turn of Chu Junzhu and others.
The sisters of the Chu family were obviously very curious, they had never seen a pig when they were so old, and they couldn't help but touch the clean little pig in front of them that was cleaned up by the dealer.
Chu Qiuxue fell in love with a flower pig, with a few brown spots on her white body. Chu Qiuxue turned the standing little pig over, looked at the little pig's slightly bulging belly, reached out and touched it, looked left and right, and found that there was no one, so she buried her head and took a bite.
"Aang!" The little pig that was suddenly bitten was obviously very confused, and let out a terrible pig cry.
Chu Junzhu, who had already chosen a little sow, looked over and saw his little daughter squatting on the ground and hugging Xiaohua Pig, patting Xiaohua Pig's body, coaxing Xiaohua Pig, and Xiaohua Pig kept twisting her body to express her refusal.
"Don't make a fuss, I like you."
"You're so cute, I can't help it."
"Come home with me."
……
All kinds of rhetoric and don't want money to send to the little flower pig.
He Qingqing: What's going on with this inexplicable scumbag's visual sense?
Little Flower Pig: Don't try to fool me with rhetoric! I'm a pig with insight!
After Chu Qiuxue's various joyful confessions, Xiaohua Pig's struggle gradually weakened, and began to obediently let Chu Qiuxue hold him, and even arched Chu Qiuxue's hand with his nose.
Little Flower Pig: It feels good!
He Qingqing: ......
He Qingqing's eyes, which had already seen through everything, revealed an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes at this time.
So in the end, the little flower pig was bought home by Chu Junzhu, and there was a little black pig selected by Chu Qiulan.
And these three pigs cost two taels of silver, and Chu Junzhu looked at the flattened purse and felt distressed.
Chu Junzhu took out the bag that had been prepared in advance and put the three little pigs into it separately. There is a hole in the pocket, which is where the piglet's head sticks out.
Chu Qiuxue happily hugged her little flower pig and wanted to carry the little flower pig on her back.
It's just that a pig is about 20 to 30 catties, Chu Qiuxue couldn't carry it, but almost fell out with the pig, and finally lifted the back basket in vain, preventing the fate of the little flower pig from being dropped!
Little Flower Pig: Suddenly, at this moment, I predicted my future bumpy fate!
The last three pigs were carried by Shi Gongzi, Bai Shi, and Chu Junzhu respectively, and He Qingqing took care of the two sisters of the Chu family, and two of the baskets were sponsored by He Qingqing.
After that, they went to a place where chickens were sold, and bought three hens, which cost them half a tael.
So the three little pigs had three more hen friends.
Because it is inconvenient to carry pigs and chickens on their backs, one is too heavy to carry, the other is that the target is too large and unsafe, and the third is inconvenient.
So a few people went to the inn to ask for a room, put down their things and had a full meal.
In the afternoon, Chu Junzhu and He Qingqing went out to buy things, and Bai Shi, Shi Gongzi and the two sisters of the Chu family stayed at the inn to watch the pigs and chickens they bought.
Bai Shi didn't want to go out because he had nothing to buy, while Shi Gongzi didn't go purely because Bai Shi didn't go.
The sisters of the Chu family wanted to see the little pigs they chose at the inn, so they naturally didn't have the heart to go out to buy things.
And Chu Junzhu didn't know much about things like female red, so in the end, He Qingqing had to accompany Chu Junzhu to buy things.
Chu Junzhu first bought clothes for his daughter and Bai Shi, and then selected a few batches of fabrics, and then bought some of the things needed at home, such as baskets, brooms, etc., and then bought a few catties of white flour and some things to make female red.
And after calculating these, there were originally enough five taels of silver, but now there are more than one tael left.
Chu Junzhu sighed, this is really spending money like running water.
And in order to express his gratitude to He Qingqing, Chu Junzhu sent a piece of fabric to He Qingqing, and He Qingqing chose two pairs of shoes, one for Doctor He and one for He Qingqing.
After all, Dr. He has to go out to see a doctor often, so these shoes will naturally wear out a lot, and Dr. He is also old, so he needs a better pair of shoes to avoid some stumbling.
He Qingqing was a little moved that Chu Junzhu could think of his grandfather, so he accepted the things and expressed his gratitude.
By the time the two of them returned to the inn, it was already getting dark, and they could only go back to Qiyuan Village early tomorrow morning.
Chu Junzhu paid for two more rooms and ordered some dishes, so that everyone could have a good rest tonight.
On the second day, the group encountered a carriage going in the direction of Qiyuan Village, paid a sum of money, and hitched a ride.
Although the carriage was a little rudimentary, it looked very dilapidated with four wheels pulled behind a horse with a large wooden plank tied to the wheels.
Fortunately, it is very strong enough to support the weight of a group.
The horseman was a man of about 50 to 60 years of age, with vicissitudes on his face and calluses on his hands, wielding an old whip and slapping it on the horse's body, so that the carriage began to move slowly.
"You went to the county to buy so many things?" The old man glanced at Bai Shi's group and said slowly, his voice a little hoarse and a little small.
"Well, I need it at home." Chu Junzhu laughed.
"Put things away! It's not been a lot of peace lately! The old man shook a whip and spoke.
"I hope the old man will tell me more." Chu Junzhu arched his hand at the old man.
The old man glanced at Chu Junzhu and did not speak.
Just smashed Chu Junzhu and thought that the old man would not answer him, the old man continued to speak slowly.
"Tian Hui Village, you know?" The old man looked at Chu Junzhu and said.
Chu Junzhu nodded, Tian returned to the village, he naturally knew.
This Tianhui Village and Qiyuan Village can be said to be very different.
There is only one landlord in Qiyuan Village, and there are not many fields, and they are relatively closed, and the people in Qiyuan Village are not many rich except for the landlord.
But it was different in Tianhui Village, where there were four or five landlords, several of whom held each other in check, and owned a large amount of land. Unlike Qiyuan Village, it is all the landlord who has the final say, and he will increase the rent when he says that he will increase the rent, which is very domineering.
Moreover, Tianhui Village is backed by a large county town, and the transportation is very smooth and developed, and you can get a good economic income by planting some grain fruit trees and weaving some cloth.
In addition, the land in Tianhui Village is very fertile, and the landlord also found business opportunities, organized the people in the village to plant the things needed by the county for themselves, organized women to weave and produce cloth together, and sold them in the county, occupying more than half of the market of the supply channels in the county, so that the people in Tianhui Village lived very well.
It's just that Chu Junzhu didn't know what this old man was doing when he suddenly mentioned Tian Hui Village.
Perhaps seeing Chu Junzhu's doubts, the old man spoke slowly and answered Chu Junzhu's doubts.
"Recently, Tianhui Village has often been attacked by bandits!" The old man sighed, shook his head, and continued.
"Those bandits just robbed things, even the women. It's really not as good as a beast. ”
The old man continued to wield his whip and whipped it on the horse's body.
