(177) A new beginning

Zhao Chengcai confessed to the stunned Zhao Wang. "I'll keep this horse and help you with the work first! Chengdong, you quickly pack up your clothes, and I will hire a car to pick you up and take you to the horse farm in a moment. You're going to have to do a good job for me this time! Don't be lazy and slippery, do you hear? ”
Zhao Chengdong was dumbfounded, "Brother...... You, you're not mistaken, are you? Did you buy a horse farm? ”
"It was your sister-in-law who bought it with Master Fang!" Zhao Chengcai turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhao Wang's family held on tightly.
The news came so suddenly that she had to ask, "How much hasn't you rented out yet!" Where did you get so much money to buy a horse farm? ”
"You don't have to worry about this mother!" Zhao Chengcai was in a hurry to leave, "I still have to ask a veterinarian to bring food over!" In short, my mother just bought a horse farm, and it is still the second largest horse farm in Zaranburg! Ming'er's harvest, you can hire someone to do it at your own expense! I'll tell you more about it! ”
He left in a hurry, and Zhao Wang stood there, unable to recover for a long time.
Oh, my God! Zhang Qingting's girl actually tossed out a horse farm? Oh, my God! Then she's really going to be arrogant! Chengcai just said that he wants to do a good job, does that mean that as long as he performs well, there will definitely be benefits at that time?
Zhao Wang's family slowly turned from shock to ecstasy! The second largest horse farm in Zaranburg! Is this true? Is it true?
She touched her pounding heart and settled down. The white horse was tied to a tree in the courtyard, and it was alive! It's true!
Zhao Wang took a deep breath and cleared up his brain, "Cheng Dong, you hurry up and pack up your clothes and bed!" Daddy, you're going to clean up, and you'll go to work on the horse farm with Chengcai in a while! ”
Zhao was honestly puzzled, "That Chengcai didn't ask me to go!" ”
"You're stupid!" Zhao Wang's family really hates iron and steel, "He is afraid that we will harvest no one, and you are his father, so it is not good to ask you to go." With such a big horse farm, there is not even a buddy, so there is no shortage of work to do! I can't leave, or I'll go too! Listen to me, pack your things! ”
"The Harvest ......"
"Ahem! Why don't you old elm pimple open up at all? I'll invite two people to come back tomorrow and collect it, won't it be over? How much is that horse worth? How much is two acres of wheat worth? Can this be the same? By the way, our two plots of land, we will not plant wheat next season, but will plant beans, corn and sorghum instead, and we can also feed horses! ”
Zhao Wang thought it was a good idea, "You guys go clean up!" I'm going to bake some cakes, bring pickles and miso, and I'll share them with the rest of us! ”
Zhao Jiakou hurriedly opened.
Zhang Qingting was not idle, and asked Fang Dehai to go home to make preparations, Zhang Qingting got out of the car and took Fang Mingzhu to knock on the money shop, and used the Hutong house as collateral to successfully borrow silver.
Fang Mingzhu was very puzzled, "Eldest sister." Why don't we pay back the money later? ”
As soon as Zhang Qingting left, he explained to her, "For us, it is nothing to slow down, but for those creditors, they have been owed for more than half a year, and giving them as soon as possible can save people a lot of heart!" If you think about it, if someone owes you so much money and doesn't pay it back, what does it feel like in your heart? ”
Fang Mingzhu asked again, "Then you don't have to come to the money bank to borrow?" Looking for those bosses who rent from our alley to borrow, I'm afraid the interest rate is not so high, right? ”
Zhang Qingting whispered, "If we are looking for someone else, we have to explain the ins and outs to others as soon as we come, and then some people will inevitably say that we fell into the well and took advantage of the fire to rob." If there are those people who have a bad mouth and are jealous, maybe they will have to make up something out of thin air, and they will mess things up. Second, people borrowed money without saying anything. But we have to owe it again. When I want to repay this favor in the future, I don't know how much it will cost! It's better to spend more money now, and borrow the money and pay off the debt without bothering to speak. When those creditors were satisfied, they naturally went home happily for the holidays, and they still remembered our good in their hearts! ”
Fang Mingzhu suddenly realized, "This is the plan of the one-stone bird!" ”
Zhang Qingting smiled slyly, "We have a bargain, we can't be obedient anymore, and honestly think more about others, so that they can also be comfortable, and this business can really be done!" ”
Fang Mingzhu understood, but said with a smile, "Eldest sister, you are really scheming!" ”
Zhang Qingting glanced at her with disgust, "This is not called scheming, you can praise me for being resourceful!" ”
Fang Mingzhu covered his mouth and giggled, and when the two arrived at the yamen, the creditor was still waiting here, even if he paid off all the arrears.
Those creditors didn't expect her to be so cheerful, and they were moved, "In the end, she is a talented girl, she is innocent in her work, and she really has the chivalrous style of a scholar!" ”
Zhang Qingting was also happy in her heart, she criticized her last time, she has always kept it in mind, and of course she is more measured.
The creditors rejoiced in the collection of the money and prepared to rest for the night. Ming'er will go home for the holidays. Zhang Qingting asked the inn where they were staying, and early the next morning, he also specially sent a rice dumpling and dim sum for the Dragon Boat Festival, although it was a small move, but it made those people have a good impression of her.
After sending them away, Zhang Qingting immediately booked a transfer alley with Master Chen. Master Chen is not greedy, which set they give, Zhang Qingting picked the one that had been rented to Fuxing Building for him.
Master Chen resolutely didn't, "That set of rent is so good, give it to you!" Just give me the one I rented to the grocery store. But don't talk about this matter for the time being, you still have to collect the rent and give it to me quietly. ”
This Zhang Qingting understands it, Master Chen took the official seal and stamped the official seal on the horse farm contract to them, which is considered to be officially effective.
Zhang Qingting didn't really let go of his heart until he got the contract in black and white.
He Fang Mingzhu went home, but Zhao Chengcai had already come back and left. He was very careful, and asked Yan Bo to make a preliminary diagnosis of the horses, write down all the symptoms, and then go to the veterinarian to tell him, and he knew that it was roughly like this. I brought a little apprentice and a lot of medicinal herbs to use. Let's get out in the car together.
The food at home was not yet cooked, so Zhao Yulan temporarily scrambled eggs and vegetables and made some pastries for him. Fortunately, Zhao Wang's thought carefully and made a lot of food, and even the veterinarian he invited to bring his men was enough to eat.
Zhao Chengcai saw that his mother was so dedicated, and even his father came with him, he was very moved, and he didn't have time to say more, a big car quickly dragged all the people to the racecourse.
It was already dark, Yan Bo burned firewood and took care of it outside, he and Zhang Jinbao had already done a lot of work. A crowd came in. Eat and drink well, then clean and treat the horses.
Fortunately, it is not a serious illness, and after the veterinarian saw it, he prescribed medicine one by one, and instructed them to raise it in separate pens and feed some fine forage, believing that it could be cured for a month or two.
It was not finished until the second watch, and Zhao Chengcai had to take care of the academy tomorrow, so he went back with the veterinarian.
Here he explained to Yan Bo, "We are Ah Li understands horses here, and you all have to listen to his orders." I'll hire someone tomorrow, and I'll work hard for a few days to clean up the horse farm. ”
Of course, Zhao Laoshi and Zhang Jinbao have no objections, Zhao Chengdong broke into such a big disaster last time, and people have also restrained a lot, although it is also dirty and smelly, but everyone is doing it, and he is also very contributing.
Yan Bo led everyone and worked until the fifth watch, and then cleaned up the stables. When the day came, all four of them were so tired that they fell asleep.
Early in the morning, when Zhang Qingting brought Fang Mingzhu and Zhang Xiaodie to deliver the meal, he looked very moved. I didn't make any noise with them, just boiled water to make tea in the stove outside, and waited for the sun to rise, and then they woke up leisurely.
After washing, we had breakfast and started to discuss business.
Yan Bo's eyes sparkled, "Boss lady, you really picked up a treasure this time!" That red horse alone can earn you money back! ”
"Really?" Zhang Qingting was also very happy, "Which one?" ”
Yan Bo took her to see, "That's it!" It's really a good horse, and it's actually taken to haul goods, these people really don't know the goods! Don't worry, keep it for a few months, and you can be a stallion in the future! ”
Zhang Qingting's face flushed slightly when he listened. It's obviously very serious, but after all, everyone is not used to listening to it, so they changed the topic, "Then you can name it!" ”
Yan Bosheng ** horse, and really thought about it seriously, "Look at its red and bright coat, it looks like a grape wine, but it's angry when it is called grapes, so it's better to call it a flame!" ”
Zhang Qingting just nodded, and Fang Mingzhu followed behind, "I said it's better to call it grapes!" How cute! ”
Yan Bo frowned slightly, but Zhang Qingting smiled, "It's just a name, it doesn't matter what it's called." In my opinion, it's better to call it coral or agate, but it's more compatible with pearls! ”
Fang Mingzhu pouted, "The eldest sister will make fun of people!" ”
Zhang Qingting said, "These are all trivial matters, Ah Li, you can tell me how to operate this horse farm, and what things need to be added is important." ”
When it comes to business, Yan Bo is no longer joking, "First of all, people, such a large horse farm has to take care of at least seven or eight guys." Now it's spring again, and it's supposed to be the season for horses to breed, so we have to heal it quickly, and if we miss it, we will have to delay the work for a year. ”
Zhang Qingting blushed slightly and nodded, "I'll recruit people when I go back!" So what else do you think you're going to add? ”
Yan Bo said, "The most important thing is the forage, there is not much grass left in the granary, fortunately there is more grass now, but you also need to prepare some green beans, wheat bran, corn sorghum, and carrots, horses also love to eat." Now the horses are sick, and if they can, they have to buy some eggs to make up for them. Buy some rock sugar, sesame oil and salt, too! ”
Fang Mingzhu was surprised to hear it, "This horse still eats sugar and salt?" ”
Yan Bo smiled, "Horses don't eat salt, but they are as boring as people." Sugar is a snack, oil is moisturizing. If they can, they also love to eat flower red (ancient apple), sand pear and many other fruits! It's just that those are expensive and rare, and it's not so simple to really want to raise good horses. ”
Zhang Qingting couldn't help but nod his head when he heard it, there are really a lot of things to do with this new thing. There's one person, it looks like she's going to have to ask for advice.
