There is a place to sell cattle outside the east gate of the town, which originally started by selling cattle, so it is called a cattle market. The two of them carried things on their backs, carried a lot of them in their hands, and went around the bull market twice.

The original intention was to buy a mule for Su Zhi, and the next time he entered the mountain, he didn't have to carry a basket on his back, and he also asked Brother Wang's mule to help him camel.

But when I inquired, it cost twelve taels for a mule without a car, and sixteen or seventeen taels for a car, and now even if they don't eat or drink, they can make up more than six taels of silver. Su Tong still wants to buy a cart, and when he comes to the town in the future, he will not take the ox cart in the village.

It will take at least three more trips into the mountain, and you will have to make sure that you will have the same harvest as this time, so that you can make up enough money for the mules and carts.

So when Su Zhi saw the ewe with the lamb, he decided to buy the sheep first, and discussed it with Yue'er, the ewe still has milk, and it is cost-effective to buy it at this time.

Yue'er agreed, so she ran to a farmer, pointed to the ewe with the lamb he was tethering aside, and asked, "How do you sell this sheep?" ”

The man said without raising his head, "Bring two taels of silver with the lamb." ”

"Huh-" Yue'er dragged out a long voice, looking incredulous: "Big brother, your sheep is sold for a price, and you can't find a second copy in these ten miles and eight towns." Don't put this on your shoulder, just say that the price is in the end, how much do you sell? ”

The man finally raised his head, glanced at Yue'er, and felt that she couldn't buy it, so he said, "At least one or two eight, if you don't buy it, pull it down." ”

Yue'er also squatted down: "You can pull it down, I'll give it to you, no more than one or two halves at most, if you want to sell it, I'll take it away now, if you don't sell it, you have to take it back." The family is in a hurry to use the silver, don't carry it, believe me, big brother, you sheep hurry up and shoot on the ground. I have to serve it when I take it home, and how much effort does it take, next time I still have to say that I will sell it at this price, then it will be a loss. ”

The man said sullenly: "One or two halves without lambs." ”

Yue'er stood up suddenly, and she was also angry: "If you don't bring a lamb, you say it yourself, who can buy it for your dry ewe." If you don't look at the lamb, can I ask your sheep? One or two halves are even big and small, hurry up and don't take it, it's a big man, everything has been taken into account for you, and you won't say anything if you don't appreciate it at all, but you can also focus on the price. I'm not so angry with you, hurry up and take the money home and do what you have to do. ”

The man was angry by Yue'er's words, and in the end he still took her a tael of silver, Yue'er led a large and a small sheep, and was led by Su Tong to find the ox cart in the village.

Su Tong couldn't hold back a smile: "How do you know the price of this sheep?" ”

"When I was in Hejian Mansion, I raised it in the landlord's house, and I bought it with more than two taels with lambs, so I thought that one or two halves were about the same."

When they got home, they didn't stand still, for fear that the villagers would regret it, so they hurried to get the things they should have.

The villagers dragged the snow to climb the plow, and the rest of the food was delivered to her. The eldest brother who sold her food said that she didn't have time to grind it, so Yue'er moved a bag of ready-made food to someone's house first. People have ready-made millet, and Yue'er sold her a bag of cloth.

The two of them were busy working until dark to rest for a while, and they came over as soon as they got on the kang, and when they entered the house, they asked Su Tong: "Have you bought what I want?" ”

Without waiting for Su Zhi to speak, Yue'er asked, "What are you doing at home this day?" ”

Laneige ignored her, saw the small noodle pocket on the low cabinet, pulled it over and left.

This time, Yue'er was in a hurry, so she grabbed it with her: "You can't eat this, you have to keep it for the New Year." ”

Laneige didn't care about that, she was aggrieved in her heart, and grabbed it with a dead hand. Su Zhi was willing to see Yue'er suffer, although he didn't do anything with the woman, he still grabbed it with one hand and said, "You have stick noodles, do it yourself." ”

How to say that Su Zhi is also a man of Laneige, Yue'er couldn't look at it, but she still took the snacks that Su Zhi bought for her, and stuffed a bag of oil fruits for Laneige.

Laneige took the avocado and turned to leave, not bothering to look at the two of them at all.

"I have to go and feed the sheep and add some more food, otherwise I won't get milk." Yue'er chattered while waving her hand to let Su Zhi go.

After feeding the sheep, he came back to the house and took the hot water given by Yue'er, sat on the edge of the kang and drank: "Do you say that the sheep can be milked?" ”

"Naturally, I can, even that one lamb can't eat it, so I'm counting on these goat's milk to make up for us."

Yue'er was lying on the kang at this time, she didn't want to get up when she was tired, Su Tong had not burned the kang with firewood before, so she quickly took out the mattress and laid it out: "This kang is cold, you spread it, and I will burn the kang." ”

Yue'er lay on the edge of the kang and looked at Su Tong, and suddenly laughed: "Tell me, did you ever think that you would live such a day today?" ”

He himself didn't care, he just felt sorry for Yue'er: "When I was in the Hetao, it was not much better than this day, not to mention that I often went deep into the grassland, I don't know how many times more bitter than this." When it's you, you're not there when I'm good, and then I'll come back and suffer this sin with me. ”

Yue'er stretched out her foot and kicked him in the face, and was about to bite when Su Tong grabbed her, she laughed and dragged her back desperately: "Oh, don't make trouble, it stinks to death, and it hasn't been washed." ”

Su Tong blinked and smiled: "It doesn't stink, it's just a little sour, and it smells good." ”

Yue'er gave him a blank look, and kicked him in the face with the opportunity.

Su Zhi thought that when he was not hunting, he would go into the mountains to cut down a few decent trees, and set up a pavilion in the yard at the beginning of spring. Yue'er suddenly became excited: "Aren't there a lot of reeds by the river, when the time comes, cut some and come back to make reed curtains by yourself." Hang it all around the pavilion and enjoy the shade in the summer. ”

The sauerkraut was pickled the next day, and the sauerkraut jar was placed in the kitchen. Laneige doesn't do any other work, she is very diligent in burning the fire, and her house is always warm.

Seeing that the firewood was about to run out, Su Zhi prepared to go into the mountain to chop firewood, and Yue'er also went out with him.

The two of them brought a large flower basket from home, which contained a stove and a clay pot. The oil, salt and sauce and chopped green onion and ginger slices were put in a crockpot, along with some sliced rabbit meat. A pinch of dried radish and frozen cabbage. I packed a few thick dough cakes, and cut them into strips with pickle gnocchi that I bought from someone else's house.

Su Zhi deliberately carried a tent for hunting, and after supporting it, Yue'er stewed the vegetables into the pot. Let her stay in the tent and don't go out, it's too cold outside for fear that she will freeze.

Yue'er didn't want to keep the stove honestly, she went to collect the firewood when they cut firewood, left the big ones to Su Tong, and cleaned up the small ones.

At noon, the two of them went into a warm and fragrant tent to eat. After eating enough, he continued to chop wood, Su Zhi chopped very fast, and Yue'er also trotted along.

The ox cart came when it was dark, loaded the cart and took the two of them back to the village. Brother Wang will have two days to enter the mountain again, and these two people will come out to chop firewood every day, with an ox cart a day, and pile up the old high of the house's firewood stacks.
