Chapter 232: Buying a Donkey or a Cow
After staying up late last night to finish painting the fan, Qingdai began to ripen the seeds that Shannai gave her.
I don't know if it's because I've been too tired in the past two days, or if it's because I've lost too much spiritual power by ripening that kind of seed.
After her spiritual power was exhausted, she fell asleep unconsciously.
When she woke up, it was already dark outside.
didn't see Yun Rong come to wake herself up, Qingdai originally thought that she didn't wake up too late today.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived in the courtyard, she saw that Shi Zijian and the others had already cut down the banana tree and came back.
Seeing her get up, Shi Zijian hurriedly smiled and said, "Qingdai, you're awake, it's just right, come and have a look."
"We don't know if Shopkeeper Wu will be able to use up all these plantain cores at once today.
"I didn't have to go to the skin, I just cut it into a few sections, so it should be okay to take it with you, right?"
"Absolutely." Qing Dai glanced at the neatly mounted plantain tree poles on their carts.
Hurriedly gave him a thumbs up and praised: "Uncle is really thoughtful, so that the freshness of the banana core can be guaranteed." ”
"Hey......
Receiving the praise of his niece, Shi Zijian scratched his head quite embarrassed.
While a few people were talking, Qi Juan's group of people who had gone to pick fruits also returned.
Look at the baskets they carry full of fresh wild fruits.
Qing Dai said with surprise on her face: "Godmother, uncle, why don't you ask me to get up and go with you when you go to pick fruits." ”
Yun Rong put down the basket on his back and replied with a smile: "It's not difficult to pick fruits.
"Besides, you stayed up late painting last night, and we also want you to sleep more this morning."
"That's it, Qingdai is our family's great painter, how can I let you do these rough jobs, you have to take care of your hands."
Qi Wan said, holding her hand affectionately.
Pointing to the basket of fruits in the courtyard, he said, "How about it, look, the fruit we picked is good." ”
"Not bad, it's sweet and delicious to look at." Qing Dai nodded and smiled: "This is for Shopkeeper Wu, he is really blessed." ”
"It's for the shopkeeper Wu." Yun Rong said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wu has helped our family so much.
"We don't have anything to repay him, only these wild fruits, and we hope he won't dislike them."
"I won't dislike it." Qing Dai affirmed: "This fruit is so good, Shopkeeper Wu will definitely like it." ”
After receiving her affirmative answer, Yun Rong and the others looked at each other and smiled when they heard the words, and somehow, they only felt that their hearts were a little more settled.
Zhao Guilan listened to the movement in the courtyard and walked out of the kitchen.
He said to Shi Zikang, who was helping to sort out the fruit on the side, "That's right, Zikang."
"I see that Yun Niang and the others have picked quite a lot of fruits, you can divide some of them later, and send some to Mr. Zhuang by the way."
"Got it, mother."
"Qingdai, go wash up, come and have breakfast after washing." You also go and wash, and after breakfast we should set off. ”
"Got it, milk."
"Okay, mother."
“……”
After breakfast and everything was ready, the family did not delay, and got into the carriage and drove happily towards Candle Hua Town.
Unlike the previous two times in town, this time it was a family mobilization, and everyone seemed extremely happy.
The family sat in the carriage, talking and laughing, quite chattering.
Shi Qingyang looked at the handsome horse in front of him, and his eyes were also shining. To read
As if sensing his thoughts, Shi Zijian greeted him with a smile and said, "Qingyang, do you want to come and drive with me." ”
Shi Qingyang nodded hurriedly when he heard this, and successfully transferred from the back seat to the driver's seat.
"I didn't expect Zijian's carriage to stop steadily, it seems that this donkey cart can really be considered."
Zhao Guilan looked at her son who was driving in front of her, and couldn't help but smile and praise.
Shi Zhongyi also agreed: "I think that even if you don't send banana cores, this driving car is better than working in the field to make money." ”
"Besides, if we have a donkey cart of our own, it will be convenient for you to go into town in the future.
"There's no need to bother Lao Wu and them all day long, it just so happens that we also have spare money in our hands now.
"It's better to go to town today and buy all the things you need to buy, and come back and get a body first."
"I'll see it." Qing Dai hurriedly answered: "Uncle will catch the car in the future."
"Grandpa, grandma, you all listen to me, let's stop farming, don't work so hard."
"That's not going to work." Zhao Guilan laughed and said: "The land still has to be planted, and there is not much work in the field in normal times."
"Now that Zile is back, with her help, it's okay if Zijian isn't there."
Shi Zile nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "Qingdai, don't worry, I work very well." ”
"My leg is almost better now, and I can go to the field to help on weekdays." Shi Zikang was also busy.
"Then let's say so, the eldest brother will drive the donkey cart to solicit customers in the future and deliver food to Dingfeng Building......"
"Speaking of which, I think that cattle can still work in the field, so why don't you buy a cow? You can pull a cart and work at the same time. ”
"That's true, but it costs about four taels of silver to buy a cow, and two taels of silver for a donkey.
"Besides, donkeys run fast, and if you pull a cart, it's better to buy a donkey......
“……”
Qing Dai looked at everyone's words and spoke enthusiastically, and she knew in her heart that they still didn't believe the 'potion' she said last night.
Speaking of which, if she was just an ordinary person, if someone told her such a thing, she would only think it was whimsical.
"Qing Dai?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Yun Rong said with concern: "What do you think?" ”
"Nothing." Qing Dai gathered her thoughts and smiled: "I was thinking about when I would be able to make a lot of silver."
"That way we don't have to worry about whether to buy a donkey or a cow, we buy them all!
"We can let the donkey pull the mill, the ox plough the field, and then preferably buy another horse.
"This horse can run much faster than a donkey or an ox, so let the horse pull the cart!"
"Sister Qingdai is right! We want them all! Ah Huan was the first to vote in favor.
She was also a man who had ridden ox carts and horse-drawn carts, which were more than a little faster than ox carts!
"Sister Qingdai, then I think we should buy a horse first."
Ah Huan said seriously: "There is nothing to grind at home, and the land does not need to be cultivated......
Zhao Guilan and the others listened to her childish words, and suddenly burst into laughter.
Qi Wanle said: "Ah Huan, do you really dare to say, do you know how much silver a horse gets?" A horse will get seventy or eighty taels of silver. ”
"What's wrong with seventy or eighty taels of silver?" Ah Huan said proudly: "There is Sister Qingdai, Sister Qingdai can earn it, right, Sister Qingdai?" ”
"Yes!" Qing Dai nodded and smiled.
"That's all you need!" Qi Wan nodded her head and scolded with a smile: "Why don't you say that you earn seventy or eighty taels yourself!" ”
"Aren't I still young?" Ah Huan was confident: "When I grow up, I can be as powerful as Sister Qingdai and earn a lot of silver......"
