"Xu Zi'an? How did you get here? Qu Xiaoqi looked at the little radish head that he hadn't seen for a long time in surprise, the child grew up fast, and it was only a long time before he got a little taller.

Xu Zi'an pouted, as if he was dissatisfied with what Qu Xiaoqi said, and made a gesture, "I'm bothering you today." ”

"Little master, you go slowly, my old bones can't keep up." Not far away, a woman was walking forward, and the clothes of the woman and Xu Zi'an attracted many onlookers.

After all, if you usually want to see the children of rich families, you can only meet them in the early morning and evening when they go to and from private school, or in some Fengyue places.

Because the time has never been aligned, basically they go to private schools, and the people in the village have not yet arrived in the city. They went to private school, and the people in the village had already returned to the village.

For the people in the village, Xu Zi'an's brocade and silk clothes are really envious of others.

"Little master, have you ever saluted?"

"Okay...... Zi'an has passed. ”

No wonder she was suddenly so well-behaved, it turned out that her mother-in-law was following her, Qu Xiaoqi almost laughed out loud, and said: "Our peasant family doesn't understand this, come to the house, I'll go see if there are any lactating cows, and make some food for the little master." ”

Xu Zi'an was brought over by Zeng Miaoya, and just now he noticed that Xu Zi'an was following Zeng Miaoya closely, probably deliberately trying to get rid of his mother-in-law to make these radish legs run so fast.

Let Zeng Miaoya lead people to her home, it is estimated that Zhang Butcher is alone in the city now, and I am afraid that he will not be busy.

Since the crossing, everything is actually under her control, how to survive and how to make money, Meng Yuqing's matter has always been her accident.

When did you become so troubled by gains and losses? How old are you and still think that you are really fifteen or sixteen years old, and play petty with him.

"Auntie, do you know which cow just gave birth to a calf?" Qu Xiaoqi went to the place where the women gathered the most to inquire about the situation, perhaps because his own man and son were working at Qu Xiaoqi's, and their attitude towards Qu Xiaoqi was extremely enthusiastic.

"Yo, at this time, there are really cows who love their cubs, and there are only a few cows in the village, you can just ask."

The main Qu Xiaoqi just doesn't know who doesn't have a cow.

"Xiaoqi, you mean cow? My cow has just given birth, do you want to buy a calf? ”

Qu Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, she really needed a means of transportation, but the spare money in her hand was really not abundant, she said: "I want to buy some milk, you can see if you can grab this bite with your cow cub." ”

"Milk, I'll give you some, it's not a valuable thing."

"How much should it be, you can't let your aunt suffer."

"Then what suffers and doesn't suffer, it's all from a village."

Because Xu knew that he had said the wrong thing, Meng Yuqing had always been very well-behaved behind Qu Xiaoqi, and did not open his mouth to find a sense of existence.

Including Qu Xiaoqi making steamed cakes later, he also silently listened to Qu Xiaoqi's conduct.

This look was not seen by his subordinates at all, so he had to turn away and pretend that he did not see it, and only prayed that his master would not come to him for trouble because of the loss of face.

Xu Zi'an grew up in the city, and he was extremely curious about everything in the village.

Whether it's farm paths, crops, or chickens and dogs in the garden.

"There is a pig shed nearby, you should be careful not to walk around, it will hurt you again." After the steamed cake was ready, Qu Xiaoqi came to instruct.

"Okay." The life here does not have to be warm, there is no need to practice etiquette, and naturally there is no need to learn martial arts, it is simply a paradise on earth.

"Mother-in-law, shall we stay here for a few days?" Xu Zi'an bit the steamed cake and asked.

"No, if you don't see the little master overnight, Madam will miss it."

Xu Zi'an pouted, after the eldest brother left home, his mother forcibly poured all the love for the eldest brother into herself, as if the eldest brother would never return.

At his current age, he doesn't really know much about slavery and the seriousness of slavery. Whether it is a private school or a teacher at home, his mother-in-law will not mention this kind of thing to him.

And Xu Zixin promised Xu Zi'an before leaving home that he would definitely go home every once in a while, so that he could honestly wait for him at home, making it even more difficult for him to judge the seriousness of the slavery.

"This cake is delicious." Xu Zi'an turned all his grief and anger into appetite and started with the steamed cake in his hand.

"Little master, don't eat too much."

Jiaoxi's mother-in-law interrupted Qu Xiaoqi's words just now, she deliberately did a lot more in order to entertain Xu Zi'an, originally wanting him to eat more.

Looking at Xu Zi'an's aggrieved expression, Qu Xiaoqi changed his words and said, "There are many more, you can bring some back when you go back." ”

"Really?" Xu Zi'an looked at Qu Xiaoqi excitedly, and then asked her mother-in-law in a low voice, "Is it okay?" ”

It looked like a wronged puppy, with its ears and tail curled up.

Qu Xiaoqi didn't expect that children could be so likeable, so he said: "If you like it, take it back, your mother-in-law won't say anything, right?" ”

The mother-in-law still looked so strict, but she still nodded, and did not refute the proposal.

"Your friend should be nearby, right? Why don't you treat him to a piece of cake? These words were said to Meng Yuqing, but Qu Xiaoqi's eyes were not on him.

"Leave him alone." Meng Yuqing really wanted to explain to Qu Xiaoqi now, he really had no purpose in approaching Qu Xiaoqi, even if he had a purpose, it had nothing to do with her father.

Xu Zi'an only got up to leave after eating dinner here, and the carriage that picked him up had already stopped at the door of Qu Xiaoqi's house, but Xu Zi'an made them wait for an hour and a half.

finally won the consent of his father and mother to come out to play, and the mother-in-law also knew that she couldn't force people to be anxious, otherwise it would have to be counterproductive, so she let him be willful.

In fact, she was very dissatisfied with the food prepared by Qu Xiaoqi, and she followed them to eat a big pot of food, so why did she let their little master eat the same meal as these people?

Because of dissatisfaction in her heart, she ate a little unsavory at this meal, but Xu Zi'an ate very happily.

"Sister Xiaoqi's cooking has always been so delicious, I have been taken care of during this time, and I will come over to disturb me later."

"You can come and play anytime." Qu Xiaoqi sent Xu Zi'an away, and then she took the copper coin to the construction site.

Before it was dark, they were still rushing to work.

The village chief was still sitting in that place, watching these people work, but there was already a tired look on his face.

"Village chief, at this rate, how many days will it take to complete?"

"Five days, five days at most."

Now that a lot of walls have been built, and the pig shed has a rough prototype, I am afraid that only three pig sheds can be built after it is completed in five days, which is far from enough for Qu Xiaoqi.

In the city, a day's wage is about fifteen copper coins, but they only work four hours a day, and now they have done it for six hours, and they are fellow villagers again, and I am afraid that each person will have to give twenty-five copper coins.

I am afraid that it will cost three taels of silver for this day, but fortunately there is wood and clay near the small hillside into the city, otherwise I don't know how much this material will cost.

One day, with quarrying and clay, plus cutting wood and then embalming the wood, the prototype of the pig shed can be built, and I am afraid that it will be a waste of strength.

"Folks, we're here today, I'll give you copper coins according to the head, this person is twenty-five copper coins, and you can count them yourself when you get them."

Hearing this, the crowd all smiled in surprise, this amount was far beyond their imagination, enough for a family to eat a meal.

And the food at noon and evening is also good, the dry food is made of white flour, and when it is hot, it is much more delicious than what you eat at home.

There are many gluttonous people who say that with this meal alone, they can work here for day.

"More than 20 copper plates make them happy so much?" Witnessing the whole process of these people's money, Meng Yuqing looked puzzled.

Qu Xiaoqi hid his painful expression and said: "You, a pampered emperor, naturally don't know about the suffering of the world, and you are used to living a life of clothes and food, so no one wants to experience the suffering of this world." ”

"I'm not an emperor yet, but I'll be an emperor sooner or later."

"I know you're ambitious, so keep up the good work, and the next time I see you, your head is still hanging around your neck." Qu Xiaoqi completely understood this sentence as Meng Yuqing was going to seek power and usurp the throne, she didn't care much about it, at least Meng Yuqing was still staying in Linxi Village now.

Qu Xiaoqi instructed the village chief two more sentences, he would go to carry the pig tomorrow and get the scales out, so he had to bother the village chief to testify.

Qu Xiaoqi is going to buy twenty pigs, which will require nearly forty taels of silver, which is also the limit of what she can accept.

I am afraid that a pig will have to be carried by four people, and with stones and wood, I am afraid that a hundred people will have to go with them.

It just so happened that the rest of the people stayed behind to continue building the pig shed.

Butcher Zhang and Zeng Miaoya have no way to get out of the stall, she has to go to the next village and let Butcher Zhang go with her.

Aunt Caifeng happened to prepare lunch and dinner for this group of people, and she had to get up early tomorrow to make the dry food for the road.

When they arrived at Aunt Caifeng, Zeng Miaoya had already fallen asleep, and the little guy also followed them.

"She's coming to sleep with you again."

"You don't have a place there, we just have a spare room here, so let her sleep here."

Qu Xiaoqi nodded to Aunt Caifeng's eldest daughter, and then told Butcher Zhang about buying pigs.

They didn't agree to let Qu Xiaoqi pay for it himself, so they had to bear half of the cost, so they pushed it for a long time, and finally according to the final divide, Zhang's butcher's family paid 40%, and Qu Xiaoqi paid 60%.

Even the price of building a pig shed was shared by them, which made Qu Xiaoqi a lot easier.

"It's not easy to make some money, this kind of thing must be calculated clearly in the end, you know? You can't keep making yourself suffer! Aunt Caifeng bluffed and said.

"Okay, okay, I see."
