Chapter 9 Ox Ploughing
A quarter of an hour later, Grandpa Niu's vegetable patch was full of people. In the vegetable garden, four or five people, old and young, surrounded an old cow. Second Master Niu followed behind with a strange thing, and the people around him were amazed.
"This is good!"
"Yes! If you have this thing, are you afraid that you won't be able to turn the ground slowly? ”
"That's it, it's just a pity that I don't have a cow at home, otherwise I would have found Grandpa Niu to help me pick it up."
"Alas!"
In these days, if there is a cow at home, just like the family with a BMW Mercedes-Benz in that era, if there is a horse or something, it is a comparison of luxury cars such as Lamborghini and Maserati.
After a while, Grandpa Niu's small vegetable garden was turned over. I don't know how many times softer the soil is than the one dug up with a hoe, and people are amazed to see it.
Niu Erye is not a small person, and with a wave of his hand, he said that after plowing the fields of the three of them, he would help other people's families plow the land. People who have cattle also come to Grandpa Niu's house to ask Grandpa Niu to help make a plow, but when they heard that the iron on the plow called the slashing mouth costs 200 yuan, they began to feel distressed again.
You know, 200 wen can buy a lot of rice noodles. These two hundred wen are like this, and they bought such a small piece of iron, some people can't take it out, and some people just can't bear it. But seeing that Grandpa Niu's family, Grandpa Niu's family has almost finished plowing the land of Jiang Amao's family, some people are ruthless and want to buy one.
It's just that when I arrived in the town, I couldn't find a blacksmith who could make a cut, so I could only come to Jiang's house to find out the origin of the cut.
Jiang Yu'er thought about it, and also felt that there were still some grass roots in the field at home that needed to be cleaned up, and she also thought about finding a blacksmith to help make a rake. She hadn't seen anyone use it in the village, so she readily agreed.
"Yo! The little girl is here again? "That blacksmith uncle obviously knows Jiang Yu'er. It's not that he has a good memory, but what Jiang Yu'er came to fight is really weird. It was the first time he had seen something like that after so many years of striking iron.
"Yes! Is it okay for the uncle to come in? Jiang Yu'er smiled and said goodbye. They all said that the smiling face was lucky to welcome people, and she believed it.
"Good, good!" Uncle Blacksmith said three good words in a row, but after seeing a few people behind Jiang Yu'er, he immediately thought that this little girl was looking for him, wouldn't he be here to chat with him: "Little girl, what else is going on?" ”
"That's right, these uncles and uncles in our village need the things I asked my uncle to make before, so I came along." Jiang Yu'er paused and said, "Uncle, this object has been modeled last time, and now it needs so much again, can it be cheaper?" I have other things here that I need to ask my uncle to help me build! ”
Secretly, if it could be cheaper, these items of mine would have been customized by you.
Uncle Blacksmith is also a businessman, and he still understands this. "Look at what the little girl said, the model is also ready-made, how can it be so high?" After speaking, he paused again, as if calculating the cost, and said, "That's it!" For the sake of the little girl, how about a hundred? ”
Jiang Yu'er really wanted to roll her eyes and glance at him, before she said that the model would charge her two hundred, but now that the model is ready, she will charge one hundred, isn't this a clear lie? "Uncle, business is not like this, I said before that I wanted to make a model, so I was charged 200 yuan, and now the model has been completed. You can also burn molten iron or something now, plus your cost, fifty wen is enough. ”
Uncle Blacksmith was really embarrassed by what he said, but he also knew that his 100 Wen was indeed a little high, so he touched his head with a smile and said: "Little girl, you don't know, the recent war in the north, this iron is not easy to get!" After thinking about it, he said as if he had made up his mind: "That's it! Count you eighty wen, which is not missing at all. ”
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Yu'er felt that there should be no pit. The few people behind him were a little dumbfounded, they had already made things that cost two hundred wen to buy, but now they were actually said to be eighty wen by the orphan in the village, doesn't this save one hundred and twenty wen?
Jiang Yu'er responded with a smile, and finally took a hoe that the blacksmith had just made, and said, "Uncle, can you help me make a rake?" The mouth of the noodles is similar to this hoe, and the iron required is also about the same, and these are the places that need to be slaughtered. After speaking, he gestured on the hoe with his little hand: "That's it, that's it, and then this place is a little wider." ”
"Little girl, what are you holding things for?" Uncle Blacksmith obviously saw such an object for the first time, and he didn't know what it was for, so he asked casually.
Jiang Yu'er doesn't hide it, as long as some things come out, sooner or later others will know about it, so why hide it: "My family has been barren for many years, and a lot of grass has grown." Such a rake makes it easy to separate the grass from the soil. ”
When the villagers behind him heard this, they were also stunned for a while. Others don't know, they are clear, this Jiang family girl, that is a little girl who has never been in the field. Since the autumn of this year, he has been picking up his family's fields. Listening to Grandpa Niu, which plow she also came up with. Now that the effect has come out, what kind of rake is she going to do again, can it really be used?
After a few villagers muttered, they all decided to put such a rake on their homes.
When the blacksmith saw this posture, his heart was also happy. This joy charged them thirty cents for each rake. The price was also reasonable, and after the delivery date was finally agreed, the few people separated.
Jiang Yu'er, brother and sister, went to Baicaotang and sold the star anise accumulated during this time. I took another handful of Banxia found during this time and asked the shopkeeper.
"Uncle Zhan, do you accept this? I just dug this up, and I haven't washed it yet. Jiang Yu'er handed out Banxia, who was still sticking to the soil.
"Girl, you'll pick this up too?" Shopkeeper Zhan was obviously also surprised, you know, this thing is also known to the doctor how to use it. Not to mention others, even I, a person who greets medicine all year round, doesn't dare to pick up this half summer!
How could Jiang Yu'er not know that when this half-summer was cleaned, the water that washed the half-summer, wherever it splashed, would be extremely itchy. There was a saying in the previous life, that is, you can't say itchy when you wash Banxia, so that it won't itch.
Although there is some idealism, there is such a thing. As long as you don't pay attention to it, you can still endure those itches. But Jiang Yu'er knows that there is a way, that is, to wear it with rubber gloves, and just don't let those half-summer water stain the skin.
