After a few leisurely days, Nie Yaoyao's hot pot shop is now quite famous in the entire Longtang Town, and there is an endless stream of customers in the shop every day, and she quickly returned Hu Yunlong's two hundred taels of silver, and also made a net profit of more than a thousand taels of silver.

At this time, the lotus village has also reached the day of autumn harvest, the rice fields in the village have been dyed with golden yellow in large areas, and the warm autumn sun flows, and the autumn mood is dyed to the rice branches layer by layer.

The golden rice grass swaying in the wind all over the mountains is the most beautiful picture scroll in the hearts of the farmers.

Aunt Li's family also planted rice fields, and she was now too busy in the hot pot restaurant to leave, so she asked Jia Shun to go home alone to cut rice.

Nie Yaoyao remembered the beef jerky she had promised Su before, so she made a big pot of sweet, spicy and spicy beef jerky at home, she kept some for herself, and wanted to share the rest with Su and Jia Shun, who was doing farm work.

"You girl, it's strange and honest, you said that you would make jerky for me to eat, and you brought such a big pot." Su Shi looked at the beef jerky brought by Nie Yaoyao and happily closed his mouth.

"Come in and sit down, I've learned a new snack these days, and I'll give it to you to taste."

Nie Yaoyao smiled and followed her into the room and sat down.

"Where's my Uncle Kang? Busy going out? There was no village chief Kang in the house, and Nie Yaoyao asked casually.

Su nodded: "Yes, it's not the group of wild monkeys, it's really strange, this group of animals seems to know that we are setting traps to catch them, and none of them have shown their heads these days, your Uncle Kang is not watching the people in the village harvest the crops these days, so spend more time helping to watch the point, don't let the group of wild monkeys come down and steal the crops again."

Saying that, Su Shi looked at Nie Yaoyao and said, "Girl, I heard from the people in the village that you opened a hot pot shop in the town?" Is it the very popular Nie's hot pot shop in the town? ”

"It's my shop, it's a new thing I thought of on a whim, but I didn't expect everyone to like it." Nie Xiaoxiao smiled and said.

Su Shi was surprised when he heard this, "It's really your shop?!" Obediently, when I went shopping in the town the day before yesterday, I took a look from afar, and there was still a queue outside the shop, you little girl is really good! ”

Saying that, she pouted, "Didn't you listen to how the people in our village arranged you, saying that you spent a lot of money and didn't know how to take care of your family, and that you were a little girl who didn't know how to open a shop, but it was just foolishness, tsk, if they knew that your hot pot shop in the town was so prosperous, I was afraid that every envious eye would pop out." ”

Nie Yaoyao smiled helplessly when she heard it, "It's normal for them to think like that, don't care." ”

After chatting with Su Shi for a while, Nie Xiaoyao said goodbye and left.

After coming out of the village chief's house, Nie Yaoyao went home again and took some dried meat and food to Aunt Li's field.

Seeing that Nie Yaoyao was coming, Jia Shun hurriedly wiped his sweat with the clothes on his waist and walked over.

Nie Yaoyao handed him a kettle, "Brother Shunzi, drink saliva quickly." ”

Jia Shun grinned innocently, took the kettle and poured a few sips, and touched his mouth comfortably.

"Sister Nie, why are you here? Now the sun is poisonous, you little girl, go back quickly. ”

"Aunt Li is not at home, I know she can't rest assured of you, so I made some meals and jerky for you, so you can fill your stomach when you are hungry." ”

It just so happened that Jia Shun was also hungry, and she knew that Nie Yaoyao was kind and unruly, so she no longer twisted and shirked, sat down cross-legged and opened Nie Yaoyao's meal and ate it.

"This year's rain is sufficient, the harvest of crops is good, and my family's few acres of land are estimated to be able to harvest two more stones of grain than in previous years." Jia Shun looked at the land he had worked on while eating, and a sense of satisfaction unique to a farmer rippled in his heart.

Nie Yao also sat down and looked at the villagers who were still working around him, the fragrance of straw lingering on the tip of his nose, and the golden yellow was dazzling in the sun.

Nie Yaoyao picked up an ear of rice and played with it in the palm of his hand, "It's so good, it seems that the people in the village can make more money selling crops this year." ”

"Isn't it, we countrymen can sell a few more stones of grain, and we will be more decent during the New Year."

Saying that, Jia Shun sighed lightly with emotion, "If it weren't for Sister Nie, you could afford it, maybe I would still be working day and night in Liu Zhuangtou's house, speaking of which, Sister Nie, you are the great nobleman of our family!" ”

Jia Shun looked at Nie Yaoyao and smiled sincerely, his eyes full of gratitude.

Jia Shun's sincerity touched Nie Yaoyao very much, and the corners of her lips smeared with a smile, "Brother Shunzi, in fact, I should thank you, it was you who gave me warmth when I first came to Lotus Village, if it weren't for the support of you and your aunt behind me, I wouldn't have the smooth flow I have now." ”

The autumn breeze blew across their faces, and the two young men, Nie Yaoyao and Jia Shun, sat on the ridge of the ground, looked at each other without any distractions and smiled, sympathizing with each other.

The next day, when Jia Shun's crops were finished, he used a stone mill to remove the husks and paralyzed the rice grains in the open field to dry.

In the afternoon, Nie Yaoyao wanted to go to the town to buy a carriage to facilitate transportation, so he called Jia Shun, who was idle, to go with him.

The two came to the town to inquire and came to a field selling livestock vehicles, and when they heard that Nie Yaoyao had come to buy a whole set of carriages, the uncle who guarded the livestock farm immediately introduced her with a smile on his face.

The uncle first led Nie Yaoyao to the carriage with a shed and took a turn, the carriages here are divided into large, medium, small and high-quality, medium-low grades of wood, the cheapest is fifteen silver, and the expensive ones range from fifty taels to one hundred taels.

Nie Yaoyao is not the kind of person who likes to show off extravagantly, so he picked a more practical carriage and asked for forty taels of silver.

Then the boss took them to see the horses.

The stable was crowded with rows of tall, short, fat and thin horses with different hair colors, Nie Yaoyao was dazzled for a while, or Jia Shun helped palm the eyes, and finally the two fell in love with a black horse with no miscellaneous hair all over the body, the black horse has a strong body, shiny fur, and it is very healthy and powerful at a glance.

Uncle: "The little girl really has a vision, this horse is a good horse that my friend bred from the Western Regions!" This year, he just came of age, and he is a mare, and he has to pay eighty taels of silver! ”

"Okay." Although Nie Yaoyao doesn't understand the market, as long as it is within her budget, she doesn't care if she is cheated or not.

In this way, he paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and Nie Yaoyao finally exchanged one hundred and twenty taels of silver for a brand new carriage.

After handing over the money, the uncle taught them how to drive a carriage, but Nie Yao was not interested, so he asked Jia Shun to learn.

Taking advantage of Jia Shun's time to learn to drive, Nie Yaoyao came to a cloth shop and wanted to buy a set of curtains and mats for the carriage.

"Go, go, go! You are a dead man who wants to eat and go to other places to ask for food, and you don't see us doing business! ”

Nie Yaoyao passed by a restaurant, and happened to meet the shopkeeper who pushed an old man dressed in tatters out, and the old man stumbled and fell to the ground before he could stand firmly.

The people around him were not surprised, their eyes did not slant, and they had no intention of going up to meddle at all.

Just kidding, this town is full of hundreds of beggars, if you meet one, you can help, which big family can afford it?

Nie Yaoyao had no sympathy for those strong beggars who were good at hands and feet, but the old man in front of her was obviously old and had inconvenient legs and feet, so she couldn't bear to pretend not to see it and walk away.

She stepped forward to help the old man up, "Uncle, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, I'm just too hungry to have the strength." The old man stood up tremblingly with Nie Yaoyao's strength, and then raised his head to look at Nie Yaoyao.

But he didn't expect this look to make him stunned, he blinked his cloudy eyes vigorously, and muttered, "Weird."
