Chapter 56: Preparations
The village chief shook his head and smiled, his wife is just like a child, for so many years, he has always let her, and now it is okay to let her, it is not a big deal.
Lin Qiu'er returned home and told her about giving tofu to the two families close to her, and Tang Zhian nodded with a smile.
After lunch, Ye Lan came to life with her own needlework, "Qiu'er, are you at home?" ”
Lin Qiu'er hurriedly came out of the house, "Sister-in-law, come in!" Zhi'an wasn't at home, just me. ”
Ye Lan went in with a smile, looked at her and said, "I'm going to do needlework, I want to come with you, we can chat while working." ”
Lin Qiu'er was bored at home alone, and when she heard her words, she smiled and said, "Okay! Sister-in-law, hurry up! ”
The two of them were on the kang of Lin Qiu'er's house, the weather was hot, the quilts were folded, and they happened to sit on the kang doing needlework.
Ye Lan looked at Lin Qiu'er's embroidery work, and opened her mouth in surprise, "I've always heard that you are embroidering, I thought it was on the purse or clothes we usually see, but I didn't expect you to embroider such a big thing, look at your embroidery skills are really high!" ”
Lin Qiu'er smiled and said, "This is also learned from others, my craftsmanship is not good, it is really far from the big place or the embroidery family!" ”
Ye Lan looked at her and said, "That's also good, no one in our countryside knows how to embroider, at most it's just sewing and mending." ”
Lin Qiu'er didn't speak again, she knew this, this kind of embroidery skills had to be taught, how could anyone in this kind of village be willing to pay for girls to learn these things.
Ye Lan sat down to do her own work after saying a few words, chatting with Lin Qiu'er while sewing the clothes in her hands.
After a while, Ye Lan spoke again: "Qiu'er, the tofu you sent this morning is really delicious, I think your business will definitely be successful." “
Lin Qiu'er smiled and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for your good words, we think so too, and I don't know if we can really succeed, but I hope it can." ”
Ye Lan said: "I have tasted it, it is the best tofu I have ever tasted, if you go into business, there must be many people who feel the same way as me, and you will definitely be able to do a good job in business at that time." ”
Lin Qiu'er sighed and said: "It's not okay if you don't make money, our family's current situation is really helpless, the house at home has to be built, this is a lot of money!" ”
Ye Lan looked around and said, "That's right, your house looks like it has to be built quickly." ”
Lin Qiu'er smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the rest!" ”
Ye Lan smiled, then changed the topic, and the two of them began to talk about other things, Ye Lan told Lin Qiu'er about the gossip in the village that she knew.
The two of them chatted happily about the day and worked, and soon the afternoon passed, and when the light in the room dimmed, Ye Lan stood up and said with a smile: "This time is really fast!" The afternoon passed again. ”
Lin Qiu'er smiled, "Yes! The time for the two of them to talk was over, and if I were alone, it would certainly not be so fast. ”
Ye Lan packed up her things, stood up and said, "Okay, it's not early, I have to hurry back and prepare dinner." ”
Lin Qiu'er sent her out with a smile, and then thought about what she would do for the family tonight, she ate tofu brain at noon, and she should make some noodles at night!
Thinking about it, he hurriedly went to the kitchen, Tang Zhian went to the mountains in the afternoon, and when he came back, he brought two pheasants and three hares.
As soon as I arrived at home, I smelled the fragrance of the yard, Lin Qiu'er poked her head out of the kitchen and saw him back, and said with a smile: "You're back, hurry up and fetch water to wash your hands, and you can eat later, I'm preparing the next noodles!" ”
Tang Zhi'an nodded, put his prey in the yard, and then hurriedly went to wash his hands, and after a while, Lin Qiu'er's dinner was also ready, "It's time to eat." ”
As soon as she shouted like this, Tang Zhi'an came in, picked up two bowls of rice and hurried out, Lin Qiu'er smiled, took two pairs of chopsticks and followed him.
This rice is still a little hot, Tang Zhian always holds their rice bowls, afraid that it will burn her, although he didn't say it, but she understands it in her heart.
The next day, the two of them went to town early, and their most daring decision of the day was to buy an ox cart for the family, because they would have to do business in the future, and it would be tiring to walk all the time.
Although the family is very close to the town, there are other things to do business in the future, and it is obviously not possible to rely on the two of them alone.
When they arrived in the town, seeing that the time was not early, the two of them went to sell Tang Zhi'an's prey first, and then went to buy an ox cart.
Lin Qiu'er didn't understand this at all, but Tang Zhi'an did, and took her around the livestock market, and finally stopped in front of the family and looked at the cattle they were selling.
Lin Qiu'er also stopped, "Ah Zhi, are the cattle in this house good?" ”
Before Tang Zhi'an could speak, the family spoke, "Brother, do you want to buy cattle?" Look at our family, this is all carefully served by our family. ”
Tang Zhian nodded, followed the man to the front, looked at the cow carefully, and was very satisfied.
Lin Qiu'er knew what was going on when she saw his expression, "Ah Zhi? ”
Tang Zhi'an gave her a slightly calm look, and then hurriedly said to the man: "This cow looks good, but I don't know if it's really good." ”
After saying that, he took the grass from the side and fed it to the cow for a few bites, and when he saw the cow chewing the grass, he was very satisfied.
The man hurriedly said, "Our cow has great strength, good appetite, and is very strong. ”
Tang Zhi'an's heart was also very satisfied, but he didn't show it at all on his face, "Then how much is this cow?" ”
"Twenty taels of silver."
"So expensive?" Lin Qiu'er shouted out, and she felt in her heart that this cow was already the most expensive for ten taels of silver, but who knew that it was actually twice as much.
If you buy this cow, you have to match it with an ox cart, and the family's silver is only about seventy taels, and their family's business things will cost a few taels of silver.
Thinking of this, she didn't want to buy an ox cart, but thinking that this is a must for the family, and there can be a return with investment, and now is the time to invest, she can't feel distressed.
Tang Zhian looked at her and said, "Why don't you buy it?" ”
He was also a little distressed about money, which was too expensive.
The cow seller was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Don't, brother, I can give you cheaper, this cow is really good, look at it!" ”
His price is expensive, but his cattle are also the best in the market, because they are expensive, so no one has come to buy them for several days, and he finally has a business, and he must not want to miss it.
