Chapter 65 The love of the little brother who sells the carriage is very touching
While feeding Li Mochen to drink porridge, Shu Qingai said, Li Mochen was silent for a while, thinking that in order to recover himself as soon as possible, he would not let this woman work for herself anymore, so as not to let the people of the Shu family find another opportunity to make trouble, so he could only nod.
In this way, Shu Qingai handed over Limochen to Dongzi, and every day after breakfast, he would go to the new house to watch.
I don't know if I don't look at it, when she sees the food cooked by Qiu's family, she really feels sorry for those craftsmen.
Sorghum rice, corn tortillas, cabbage stew, even if you can't find a few slices of meat, such a simple food, even Shu Qingai, who doesn't usually do manual work, can't stand it.
What's more, repairing a house is already physical work, and such meals are normal and very good in ordinary people, but Shu Qingai saw it, and he couldn't bear it.
Seeing that it was still early, he went to the village chief's house to borrow an ox cart, and went to the town with Zhou Dahai and Qiu.
It's too late to cook bone broth today, but you can buy some and stew it tomorrow morning, add some radish, and plant oil and water, so that everyone can quench their thirst after eating. Thinking of this, Shu Qingai bought five or six catties of bones, more than ten catties of pork belly, and even more than 100 catties of radish, and went to the grain store to directly buy 200 catties of rice and 100 catties of white flour.
Qiu Shi saw Shu Qingai's generosity, and he couldn't bear to look at it.
"Sister Shu, these dozen catties of meat are too much, let's buy less, the people in the village ask someone to build a house, generally one meal of meat in three days, and in that big pot of vegetables, there is at most one catty of meat."
Thinking of helping Shu Qingai save some silver, Qiu couldn't help but speak.
"It's okay, everyone is doing things hard, and I can't treat others badly, besides, how much can I eat with this food? It can be built in a month at most, and it won't cost much silver. ”
Seeing that Shu Qingai said this, thinking that she could bear it, Qiu Shi didn't speak.
After the things were purchased, the group was about to go back and saw a young man selling a carriage on the side of the road. Shu Qingai was curious for a while, because that person didn't look like he was selling things at all.
The young man was about twenty years old, dressed in tatters, a little like when Shu Qingai first crossed over, he looked around, and when he saw someone like him, he would ask people in a whisper if they wanted to buy a carriage.
Shu Qing was amused in his heart, thinking about that young man like this, and he didn't know when his carriage would be sold.
"The horse is quite strong, but it's a pity that it has to be sold."
When the ox cart passed by, Zhou Dahai said a word, Shu Qingai suddenly had an idea in his mind, and hurriedly asked Zhou Dahai to stop the ox cart, and jumped down.
"Little brother, why are you selling this carriage?"
Shu Qingai looked at the little brother with a sad face, it should be that he encountered something difficult, since he has that plan, it is not impossible to ask a few more words.
The little brother saw that someone came to the door, although Shu Qing loved the coarse cloth and looked like he was also from the countryside, he was even more disappointed.
"Girl, I can't hide it, I'm very reluctant to take this carriage, if it weren't for my lady waiting for the silver to save her life, I wouldn't be willing to sell this guy who eats."
So that's the case, Shu Qingai is in the hazy stage of love at this time, and she is most envious of those who are in love with husband and wife, and when she heard this guy say, she immediately felt sympathy.
"Then how are you going to sell this carriage, little brother?"
The young man thought that Shu Qingai also asked casually, but he didn't care, so he opened his mouth and said: "The horse is sold with this carriage, a total of fifty taels of silver." ”
"What? Fifty taels? Although this horse is strong, it is also an ordinary horse, it is worth more than thirty taels, but the material of your carriage is also average, and it is used for renting at first glance, even if you buy a new one, it is ten taels, not to mention that you are still old, how can it be worth fifty taels? ”
Zhou Dahai had also seen some of the world outside, and couldn't help but speak.
Shu Qingai didn't speak, and after listening to Zhou Dahai's words, she became more and more satisfied with the carriage.
It's just that after the guy supported Zhou Dahai's words, his face was even more guilty.
"To tell you the truth, this carriage is indeed not worth so much silver, but my lady's illness must cost fifty taels to be cured, and I can't do it."
When the words fell, the young man looked depressed, and he was even more worried about his wife who was sick in bed.
Thinking that she had to rush home to cook, Shu Qingai didn't plan to stay for long, and directly took out fifty taels of silver from her arms: "Then I'll buy it, but we won't rush either, can you help me send it to Xinghua Village?" ”
Zhou Dahai saw that Shu Qingai had given all the money, and opened his mouth, but it was not easy to stop him, after all, he was also a person with a daughter-in-law, if he was replaced by himself, he would probably do the same.
The young man was shocked, he really didn't expect that Shu Qingai, a country woman, could really afford this carriage! And as soon as he made a move, it was fifty taels, and he didn't even pay back the price, so he was about to kneel down with gratitude.
"Okay, okay, it's just that you can trouble a few people, wait for me here, I'll go to the medical officer to get the medicine for the lady and come."
Shu Qingai nodded, handed the silver to him, and asked him to go quickly.
When the young man walked away, Qiu Shi directly pushed her: "You girl, this silver is blown by the wind?" It's really generous! ”
Shu Qingai grinned: "Don't you think this man is worth helping?" I just like these men who are affectionate and righteous! How many couples in this world are flying separately when disaster strikes, this young man is good, he can give everything to his seriously ill wife, and it is also very touching. ”
After hearing this, Qiu sighed deeply and couldn't help but look in the direction of Zhou Dahai. Yes, isn't she the one who likes Zhou Dahai?
The young man's son was also a slipper, and he rushed back after half an hour.
However, the three of them went to Xinghua Village together, Shu Qingai and Qiu Shi also had a while of luxury, climbed into the carriage they had newly bought, and put the grain and meat into the carriage, and the young man raised his whip, and soon threw Zhou Dahai far away.
"Hehe, this carriage is fast, it takes at least half an hour to make an ox cart, and this carriage will arrive in more than two quarters of an hour."
Qiu got out of the carriage and couldn't help but say with emotion.
Shu Qingai nodded, and couldn't help but rub his temple that was so torn that it hurt: "It's almost a block, but people can't stand it!" ”
Thinking about the convertible sports car in her previous life, that's called awesome! That speed, that comfort, hey, think about it in this life. I don't know if my car is in the garage, it has been covered with thick dust, think about my body, maybe it has rotted......
You can't think about it anymore, and the more you think about it, the worse it gets. At this time, Qiu had already beckoned the people to come and unload the food on the carriage, and after the young man also thanked Shu Qingai, he left.
It's just that when Fang, Li Yu and another woman from the village came to the side of the carriage, they couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw the white rice and white noodles in the carriage.
"Sister Shu, your new daughter-in-law really won't be in charge, where do you need white rice and white noodles! What a waste. ”
Fang Shi is a rectum, he can't help but say something, and Shu Qingai doesn't mind.
"It's okay, let's make the meal better for everyone, so that they don't get hungry in the middle of the afternoon."
After a few more chatters, they carried the things into the makeshift cooking shed.
With Dongzi on the mountain, Shu Qingai was very relieved, so she began to help cook. People here prefer to eat pasta, thinking, it is a big pot of steamed white flour steamed buns, radish stewed pork belly, that meat is enough, ten catties of pork belly will be five catties, and the remaining five catties, Shu Qingai plans to make Daokou meat.
Every household in the village has pickled vegetables, no, Shu Qingai spent ten yuan, and sold two or three catties.
Because the bone broth couldn't be made, Shu Qingai returned to the mountain, got three or four catties of green vegetables, and made green vegetable omelette, the meal of about 30 people, Shu Qingai was not stingy, bought more than a dozen catties of eggs in the village, and fried more than 20 catties.
Because of this season, there is a real shortage of vegetables, there is no way, Shu Qingai can only change the tricks to cook, and use white radish to shreds, put green onions, salt, soybean oil, sesame oil, and his own original chili oil burnt together, and an appetizing cold radish shredded is ready.
By noon, Shu Qingai hadn't had time to take a breath, and before she could take a breath, she made a meal that was sized for three people and went directly up the mountain.
It's just that after she left, when the craftsmen who got off the work were cooking, they were dumbfounded when they saw a large pot of meat and vegetables.
"Brother Haihai, what's going on? There is so much meat in this area, which is more abundant than the New Year! Other people's Shangliang banquets are not comparable! ”
The foreman is an old and hard-working man, who has been a mason for more than ten years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a situation today, even if it is those oil Qingqing's meat dishes, he swallowed his saliva several times, but he doesn't believe that there is such a good thing in the world.
In addition to the houses he built for the countrymen, he also helped many large families build them. But those people's meals are at most white rice and some coarse grains, and there are a few more pieces of meat in the dishes than in the countrymen, but they are not like those in this pot, the meat is cut into large pieces, and it is still the best pork belly!
The craftsman behind him couldn't bear it for a long time, and before he ate this meal, he couldn't help but "coo" when he smelled the stomach from afar, and he felt better than eating his own New Year.
Zhou Dahai smiled: "The main family is a real person, I can't bear to treat everyone badly, I didn't have time to come to the scene before, and today I came to do it for everyone by hand, I just want this guy to do all the hard work, how can this stomach be done without a little oil and water, so the master is kind-hearted, and he deliberately went to the town, bought the ingredients and came back, and hurried to make it for everyone together." ”
Zhou Dahai deliberately expressed Shu Qingai's kindness, and even thought that these people could work hard, maybe this would be hard, and the house would be built in half a month.
