Chapter 41: Buying Pigs

In the evening, Ye Xiaoying planned to catch up with the market again, and the two hit it off. Before going to bed, he went to consult with Big Bear, and it just so happened that his ox cart would not be needed tomorrow.

Now Li Tiezhu rarely goes to the mountains to hunt, so he traded five pieces of silver and tied back to his yard. Listening to the mooing sound of the cow at night, Ye Xiaoying slept very sweetly.

This time I got up earlier than last time, it was Ye Xiaoying who woke up spontaneously, and recently Li Tiezhu has been working more diligently and filling the ox cart to the brim. But when I arrived, I was dumbfounded, and there were several stalls selling bamboo baskets in this market.

The bamboo basket is simple, the craftsmanship is not complicated, and it is durable, Li Tiezhu is also a little weak after occupying the position, he said to Ye Xiaoying without doubt: "There are only two people in my village who let me teach them, how can there be so many people selling?" ”

Word of mouth is like this, and they are ruthless to really reject others. Ye Xiaoying smiled: "Let's sell it cheaper." ”

Li Tiezhu was momentarily disappointed, but in the end he also compromised, raised his chin and said seriously: "Then when I go back, I will make up a little more." ”

So much is already his limit, and Ye Xiaoying didn't hit him. There were more and more people in the market, and some women looked at the stall a few more times, but her husband pushed her: "How many are there in the house?" And there was nothing to put it on. ”

"Big brother and sister, there are a few more bamboo baskets at home, and many things can be placed together, which makes the home neat and dry, and I live comfortably.

Ye Xiaoying took out a few vivid grasshoppers and shrimp from the bamboo basket, "Buy one get two free, eight cents for one!" ”

"The head of the house, our girl loves this the most. You see, it's a good deal. ”

Although the man was also dressed in coarse cloth clothes, but the pulp was washed dry and straight, and it didn't look like he was too poor, Ye Xiaoying's sales promotion worked, although the man felt that it was unnecessary, but they still bought one.

Since eight yuan was sold to six yuan, Li Tiezhu didn't understand why he still carried a lot of slices in the car.

The small things will be delivered in a while, he will make them up, and his craftsmanship has attracted a lot of people, and the other people's stalls are deserted, but they are surrounded by adults and children.

Ordinary people have a herd mentality, and the more crowded they are, the more people come forward, and in the end it seems that they are not enough to sell. After selling out, Li Tiezhu used up the last piece of glove and weaved a sheep for the onlookers, and they called it a day.

As they left, they could still feel the resentful gazes of the other stall owners.

"Lady, thanks to you today, otherwise, my bamboo basket would not be able to sell."

Li Tiezhu smeared honey on his mouth and said everything he could. Doing business is her forte, she was tired of hearing such words, but what Li Tiezhu said, she couldn't hide her joy.

At this time, the sun was rising, and the shadows of the two were cast on the ground early, close together. Ye Xiaoying only felt a little lucky, and she relied on him tighter.

Bought some seeds, some chicks, and some groceries, and they rushed back in the morning. Before he could get home, he had already planted the seeds.

Ye Xiaoying was about to put the chicks in the chicken pen, looking at the empty pig pen next to her, "I heard Aunt Chen a few days ago, they will go to catch the piglets tomorrow." ”

Although Ye Xiaoying wanted to go, she always felt awkward when she was with a group of men, and when she saw the man answer lightly, she no longer spoke, but still lowered her head and weaved a bamboo basket.

Ye Xiaoying didn't say any more. The original chickens gradually grew up, and I didn't think it at first, but under the backdrop of the new chickens, there was also a bit of majesty at all.

You have to make another nest, otherwise, the chickens won't be able to compete for food in the big flock. Ye Xiaoying found a dilapidated bamboo basket and asked Li Tiezhu to repair it a little before placing the chicken in it.

The originally slender and flexible fingers were now covered with calluses, Ye Xiaoying's heart was not good, she moved a small stool and counted the silver they left over from going out this time.

There are more than 50 Wen, which is really a penny that is difficult to defeat a hero. It's only a little hard for a month. Li Tiezhu glanced at it, shook his head and said, "The silver is not enough, let's make more bamboo baskets and sell them." ”

Ye Xiaoying didn't answer, but came to the house and took out the silver she had accumulated before under the pillow. Together, it's just more than a hundred texts.

"Last time, I saw the piglets bought by the Big Bear family and it cost one hundred and fifty yuan."

"Let's not compare ourselves to his family." Ye Xiaoying wrapped the silver again, "You just go and buy the piglets, I can raise them fat." ”

"Hmm!" Li Tiezhu replied heavily.

The next day, because he made an appointment, Li Tiezhu went out early. Ye Xiaoying was cleaning the pig house, but she seemed to hear a movement next door.

Zhou Lan hasn't returned for a while, so how can there be a sound? Ye Xiaoying felt strange, could it be that she had returned?

But it can't be, the villagers haven't forgotten what she did before, and she will be looked down upon when she returns. "Bang dang" seems to be someone moving something, is it a thief?

It's even more unlikely, she has been to Zhou Lan's house before, her life is poor, and the furniture is no different. The more she thought about it, the more curious she became, and after stopping what she was doing, Ye Xiaoying secretly opened a crack in the door.

"Bang!" At this moment, someone threw the contents out of the courtyard and threw them at the door. There are washshelves and wooden boxes, and although they are old, they can be used in the future.

Maybe the house is sold, so it's okay to save her trouble. She was worried that Li Tiezhu's road would not be smooth, that she would not have enough money, that she would not be able to buy piglets, and that she was also absent-minded when she was weaving bamboo baskets.

Li Tiezhu went out early, and those people were discussing the color, condition, and how to choose the pig on the road.

"Let me tell you, there are ten of them in this column today, and a few of us don't have to worry, everyone will pick the right one."

"Sows are really good at giving birth." Someone laughed when they heard this, "If my mother-in-law can give birth to ten at a time, she doesn't have to be confined every day." ”

Everyone laughed, in order to give birth to a son in his family, for twelve months a year, her mother-in-law had a big belly almost every day.

They saw that Li Tiezhu had been walking with his head bored and not talking, so they joked to him: "Tiezhu, your lady has fine skin and tender meat, can she do such heavy work as feeding pigs in the future?" ”

Speaking of Ye Xiaoying, Li Tiezhu's face was full of pride: "Of course, my lady is willing to do it, but I don't want her to work hard." ”
