Chapter 67: Purchasing
When I returned to Fengshan County again, I suddenly felt a little unfamiliar, but in fact, Lu Jian'an had never been familiar with it.
The two of them inquired about the carriage and horse market, but Lu Jian'an still wanted to buy a carriage.
On this stretch of the road, it is not easy for them to walk on two legs! Not to mention that there will be raw silk and silkworm cocoons in the future, and it will be inconvenient to encounter something at that time.
As a result, when he arrived at the carriage and horse market, Lu Jian'an finally rested when he inquired about the price.
A carriage costs three hundred taels of silver!
Looking at the carriage in tatters, the horses are also thin, their hair is bald, and some of them are wilted, they are not good at handling this horse! When the time comes, I don't know whether to raise or not.
Horses are military supplies, and the horses on the market are not good horses, either the old, weak, sick and disabled eliminated in the barracks, or the body is no longer able to support such a job as war! To put it bluntly, good horses can't be here.
are all held in the official family and the barracks, otherwise only high-ranking officials and nobles will have them.
There's nothing good going on in this little place.
But the ox cart is cheaper.
Even the ox with the cart is only eighty taels, and the cow is also spiritual, anyway, it looks stronger than the horse's spirit.
Lu Jian'an pondered for a long time, and finally bought an ox cart, slow is slow, but if you can pull things, you are good livestock.
Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have been able to carry those things back.
Xu Mengshan was afraid that Lu Jian'an would be fooled, so he deliberately went to find his father Xu Yuan, which is not controlled by an experienced person! In case someone cheats.
Back at home, something went wrong with the cow.
They can't afford it.
That's eighty taels of silver.
Xu Yuan was naturally happy to see his son, especially if he wanted to say that Lu Jian'an wanted to buy an ox cart, and he felt that his son had a future with Lu Jian'an, and the two of them had heard about Xu Lao'an.
Dare to argue with the disciples of the silkworm god Niangniang, this is not uncomfortable.
At this time, I heard that Lu Jian'an was going to buy an ox cart! Naturally, I rushed to help.
This kind of flattering thing also requires talent and luck.
Look at his younger brother just doesn't have that eye, Leng treats pearls as fish eyes, he persuades him a few words in a good voice, and he is in a hurry, and he moves out at every turn, and his son actually worships Lu Jian'an as an apprentice.
Don't you just feel that your son has taken a big advantage?
Don't think he doesn't know! The two have been trying to break up.
Divide the family, anyway, the old man and the old lady designated to follow the third child.
Who made the parents look at the third child.
The two of them took a little girl, Xu Mengyu, alone, and starved to death.
As long as the son has a chance, maybe who will look down on anyone in the future.
Soon the bullock cart was bought.
With Xu Yuan's help! Naturally, it was very smooth, and the two eyes of a cow were as big as copper bells, and the two curved horns were bright in the blue, especially the yellow hair, which was as bright as silk.
After discussing with the ox cart seller for a long time, the cart was naturally converted into a good price, and it was finally completed.
Xu Mengshan also discussed with the cow for a long time how to control the cow, but fortunately, the cow is generally gentle, and Xu Mengshan is not afraid.
Xu Yuan explained the matter and went back, there were still many things in their shop, and there were few people, Lu Jian'an said kind words, and Xu Yuan went back.
Lu Jian'an and Xu Mengshan drove the ox cart to the blacksmith shop to get their things.
These sets of things were pulled into the car and the money was paid.
He went to the grain store again.
Lu Jian'an really ate enough yellow rice, and now he is not bad for silver.
Since Wang Zixu and them made a fuss, they had an extra thousand taels of silver in their hands.
Naturally, you can't treat yourself badly in life.
And he also wants to set up a shop.
The village is only two miles away from the county seat.
If you drive the ox cart, it will only take a stick of incense.
Business in Fengshan County is naturally stronger than in the village.
At that time, there was no way to buy land and buy a house, who let him not take advantage of the money.
However, after questioning the people in the tooth shop, Lu Jian'an knew that he was really in love, so don't think about it on the 28th Street.
A small shop there costs five hundred taels of silver, and if it is a little more generous, it will cost at least one thousand taels of silver.
If you want to set up a silk reeling room, I'm afraid you won't be able to get a set of yards without more than a thousand taels.
The bad places also cost three hundred taels.
After all, it is Fengshan County.
It's all a silk mill, who doesn't make a living from this.
After asking, Lu Jian'an rested.
It's still going to make money.
Went to the grain store.
At this time, there is not much polished rice, and the price is still very expensive.
Compared to the yellow rice that people often eat, brown rice is better.
It's not easy to eat the kind of white rice you have in modern times, and you can't do that at this time.
There is not enough food to eat, and whoever has the leisure to process rice is a waste of food in the eyes of everyone.
Even if it is the rice bran left over from rice milling, you must know that many poor people mix rice bran into yellow rice soup and eat it like that, which is considered food.
Who makes the yield of an acre of land here not high, at this time it is pure natural and pollution-free, and there are no chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
It's even less likely that there will be anything like a hormone to spawn.
It's really a matter of watching the weather all year round.
When the rain is abundant and the wind and rain are good, the harvest can be better.
If there is a disaster year, then wait to starve to death.
Lu Jian'an pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision to buy two stones of brown rice, yellow rice Lu Jian'an didn't want, two stones of brown rice is only two taels of silver, if you convert it seriously, two stones of brown rice are about more than 700 catties, even if their family has a large population, it is enough to eat for two months.
The cost of one tael of silver a month, he Lu Jian'an still has the ability to support it.
Isn't life just about eating and drinking?
A person's whole life is just for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
From now on, she will never eat yellow rice soup again.
To be honest, I don't want to eat yellow rice anymore, the taste can't be said to be too bad, but it's definitely not good, it's sour and astringent, and there is a musty smell, which can't match the various modern ways you imagined to eat.
So the two of them bought brown rice, and also bought a bunch of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, including fresh vegetables.
Lu saw that An was hungry for meat, so he bought pork belly, and lean meat was impossible.
Pigs without clenbuterol are all fat and fat.
Thick fat is dominant.
I bought five catties of pork belly and ten catties of lard, who let them rely on meat oil for the cooking oil here.
In the future, I will grow my own mushrooms, and I will squeeze oil for everything.
Soybean oil is eaten open.
Lu Jian'an originally pointed to buy some dim sum for Lu Xuehan, but when he saw the dim sum pattern, it was needless to say, mung bean cake, cloud cake or something, but the workmanship was definitely not fine enough, and this person's dim sum was still in short supply.
She took a break and bought mung bean sugar, but we can't make it ourselves.
This mung bean cake is something she doesn't make often! Who made her a sweet tooth, do-it-yourself, well-fed.
After shopping all the way, the two returned to the village.
