Chapter 213: Warm on a Snowy Night

Tian Qingan originally wanted to hurry up and talk about the wood, otherwise when he saw the wood, if it didn't work, it would be fine, if he could, there was still a discussion of the price, loading, I don't know when they will get it, they can't go home in the middle of the night?

Who knew that the host was very enthusiastic, and he beckoned them to eat vigorously, and it would be a waste not to eat.

Qixing was also instigated by the side, Tian Qing'an was a thin-skinned young man, as soon as he picked up the chopsticks, Tian Qing'an and his father could only be kind and good, give some face, and eat first!

Let's eat wine and eat, knowing that she is in a hurry, Dad and Tian Qingyang ate a little bit at will and put down the chopsticks!

Of course, the object that the housekeeper wants to talk to is not them, but Qixing, and even put on a jar of good wine, it is said that it costs twenty taels and one jar, and one jar is only two catties, which is really expensive!

Qixing's self-control was not bad, he refused the steward's persuasion, hurriedly ate a bowl of rice, explained his intentions, and asked the steward to prepare it immediately and go to see the wood!

The Pingnan Hou Mansion was in good hands, and as soon as the steward heard Qixing's words, he immediately got ready, and ten minutes later they had already arrived at the foot of the mountain where the wood was placed.

Because of yesterday's and today's snow, the wood has been covered with a thick layer of snow, and I didn't see it at first, but when I got closer, I could see that it was piled high and looked like a hill.

"Here it is!" The steward wanted to sell it for a good price, and the wood was preserved, so he roughly swept the snow on the top with a broom, and the steward grabbed the black corner and lifted it open, revealing the sun-dried, very well-preserved wood inside!

There are many kinds of wood, all of which are common elms, pines, etc., which add up to hundreds, which is cutting down the entire forest?

As if sensing her doubts, the steward explained: "I plan to plant all the peach trees on the mountain next spring, and when the spring blooms, the young ladies in the capital can come to enjoy the scenery, and when the autumn fruits are fruitful, they can be sent to the house, and they can also be sold out!" ”

The planning is good, Tian Qingan nodded again and again, if she didn't know about planting, she would have to buy a few Zhuangzi, buy more land, and develop agriculture, how good it is!

After looking at the wood carefully, Qixing asked, "What about these woods, do you want to buy them?" ”

Tian Qingan nodded, "Buy...... What does the price say? How much is a stick? Or are they sold in different grades? ”

When it comes to the price steward, he was a little depressed, he was going to sell it for a good price, who knew that this buyer was brought by Qixing himself, and he could ask for a high price? Does he dare to ask for it?

smiled, didn't show a little thought, the steward said: "All according to the average price, you have also seen the quality of this wood, we are all dry, just give one two hundred wen!" ”

The price of two moon cakes, yes, is 100 Wen lower than the market price, which is quite affordable!

"I want them all!"

The steward breathed a sigh of relief, it was not in vain that he gave such a low price!

The next thing is the deposit, Tian Qingan gave five taels, and loaded the car with the help of the steward, as well as his three sons, Qixing.

She wanted to help but was stopped, her father couldn't do it, Tian Qingyang was a scholar, and she really didn't have that strength...... If you think about it, the people you bring don't seem to be of much use?

The ox cart didn't dare to load too much, so as not to crush the calf, so it loaded two.

At this time, the sky was even darker, the dense black clouds were low, as if they were about to press to the ground, and the wind was stronger, blowing the school's foam on the side of the road to slap it on the face, which was cold and painful.

Covering their heads and faces tightly, they refused the steward's enthusiastic stay, and they hurried to Shimoda Village in an ox-cart.

Because the ox cart was a lot heavier, the way back was slow.

And at this time, it was not early, and Dad advised Qixing to go first, otherwise he would not be able to return to the capital today, Qixing was not at ease, so he had to follow them slowly.

When they returned to the village, it was dark, and if it hadn't been for the old lady's shout, they wouldn't have seen anyone standing in front of them.

"Second sister, second sister, I'm here too, Brother Qixing, you have a lot of snow on you!"

Peas are also coming?

The old lady drove Tian Qingan down, "Qingyu, you take your younger brothers and sisters and Qixing to hurry home for dinner, and I will return the ox cart with your father first!" ”

As for the wood, don't worry, just put it in the yard first, and wait for tomorrow dawn to get a piece, otherwise it is not safe to go up the mountain at this time, in case you slip while carrying the wood, think about this picture is not very beautiful!

Qixing hurriedly refused, he wanted to return to Beijing overnight.

was stopped by the village chief's uncle.

Tian Qingan was also a little stunned, wasn't it cold, standing outside at night and waiting, "Anyway, how many people are here?" ”

"And the village chief's aunt!" Pea replied.

"Hey, auntie, go back as soon as you're older!" Tian Qing's heart is warm, and some people are thinking about you when they go out, as if they are soaked in hot water, very comfortable and warm.

Don't look at the village chief's uncle and village chief's aunt are the same generation as the old father and mother, but the actual age is more than fifty, and the eldest grandson has already married a daughter-in-law, of course, the youngest grandson is still in the mother's belly.

This is the seniority, otherwise she would have to call her grandparents according to her age.

"Hurry back, too!" Uncle the village chief said, holding Qixing and not letting go, "Child, you listen to your uncle's advice, it's snowing, it's a big night, you can't see the road clearly, it's not safe...... Staying at the red date house for one night, he has a lot of rooms, don't worry, I'll come back tomorrow! ”

Tian Qingan thought about it, Qixing was running back and forth for her business, if something really happened along the way, wouldn't she regret it for the rest of her life, and forcibly grabbed Qixing, "Go, go home with us!" ”

Qixing saw that he was like a child and had to be carried home by Tian Qing'an with the clothes on his back, his face was flushed red, and his whole body looked like a hot lobster, not cold at all!

Finally calming down the frightened mood, Qixing asked, "What's the matter with your strength?" ”

"My second sister and I were born to be Hercules!" Pea said excitedly and proudly.

With a hiss, Qixing asked, "Your father and your brother too?" ”

"My father's strength is a little bigger, but not as big as my second sister, and I don't have as much strength as my second sister now, and when I grow up, I can surpass my second sister!"

As soon as Pea said this, Qixing remembered that this kid seemed to have mentioned the young master's big knife, why was he not surprised at all?

Is it because this kid can't forget?

Or is it because he's a martial arts wizard?

Qixing shook his head and didn't continue to ask, this situation must be because the Tian family ancestor has a strong man!

When I got home after a while, Tian Qingyu brought hot water for everyone to wash, and then the food left for me was kept warm in the pot, and it was still hot.

Three dishes and one soup, a large plate of chicken, braised pork and a pot of vinegared mung bean sprouts, a pot of mushroom and egg drop soup.

The staple food in the evening is spiced cakes and steamed buns.
