Chapter 281: Occasional Childishness
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! She lowered her head and folded the paper on which she wrote her wishes, wrote her name on the back, and then looked at An Tieshi and An Tiemu, "Is the pen and ink on your paper dry?" β
"It's done." An Tiemu also folded the note and wrote his name on the back, An Tieshi did the same, and then handed the paper to An Xiu'er.
An Xiuer took the notes of the two of them and asked them to bring oil paper to wrap them, because she was worried that the time would be too long and the notes inside would be damaged, so she tightly wrapped them in oil paper layer after layer.
An Tieshi and the two saw her wrapping the thin three pieces of paper into a thick stack, looked at each other, and did not make a sound.
"Well, it's almost, it shouldn't leak." An Xiu'er saw the bulging oil-paper bag in her hand, and said to the maid behind her, "Find me a locked box to come." β
"Yes." The maid bowed down and took the box.
There is nothing else in An Xiu'er's village, but there are a lot of various boxes, because they often need to take boxes to hold these precious gems, so she always has boxes here.
Soon the maid brought the box over, and An Xiu'er put the oiled paper package in front of them and locked the box.
She held the key in her hand and said, "We will put this key in the storehouse, and as for this box, we will bury it in the ground, and we will not be able to help but open it when the time comes, and wait ten years later, and then come to open this key." β
"I think if we're going to put up with it, we'd better throw the key away now." An Tiemu said: "Otherwise, it is useless to hide anywhere, I think you will secretly take the key and dig out this box in the middle of the night." β
An Xiu'er smiled bitterly when she heard this, and said, "Second brother, we are not this kind of person, even if you don't believe me, you should believe in the eldest brother." β
"Well, maybe, in case you're curious." An Tiemu decided to let his childlike innocence fly to the end, he said: "Anyway, ten years later, this key will also rust, and after ten years, we will directly find a locksmith to open this box, or directly smash this box open." β
An Xiu'er nodded and agreed, and said, "Since you propose it like this, second brother, then do it like this." β
After she finished speaking, she handed the key to the maid behind her, and said, "Take this key to the blacksmith's shop and melt it." β
The maid took the key down, An Xiu'er looked at An Tiemu and said, "Second brother, you can rest assured now, it's not safe to throw the key, I will melt it directly." β
"Yes, let's go bury the box now." An Temu said.
An Xiu'er proposed: "I think this big tree in our yard is quite good, why don't we bury it here." β
"It's not appropriate, it's buried near us, it's easy for us to remember, besides, none of us can say what will happen in the future, so I suggest burying it farther away." An Tiemu said again.
An Xiu'er found that her second brother was thinking about things quite comprehensively now, and her heart seemed to have become more, so she couldn't help but look at him deeply, An Tiemu's scalp was a little numb when she saw it, and then she said: "Then let's go to the woods outside, it's uninhabited, let's find a place to bury it, nothing will happen." β
"Okay." All three of them thought they could, so they got up and rode outside.
In the grove not far away, An Xiuer found a small cave and buried the box next to the cave, so that it would be easy to find it at that time.
"Now you can rest assured, right?" An Xiuer said.
"Hmm." The two of them nodded, and stepped on the soil here, this place usually does not come to this place, and after a while, this place will become the same as other places, and no one will find out at that time.
When this thing was done, when the three of them returned, when they thought about it, they always felt that the three of them had done this thing that was extremely naΓ―ve, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and they all laughed.
"Big brother, why do I think we are so stupid today, it's just some unconcerned wishes, it's the same as burying treasures, it took so much effort." An Xiuer said.
"It's kind of stupid." An Tieshi nodded, just now the three of them really took these notes very seriously, as if they were some priceless treasure.
"Uh, we just looked like we were going to talk about something, right?" An Temu also interjected.
He didn't know why they came outside to bury the box when they talked about things.
An Xiu'er said: "It's fortunate that Banxia didn't come with me today, otherwise, if she knew that I had done such a thing, she would definitely laugh at me." β
"Now it's ten years from now." An Tieshi said: "I don't know if we still remember it ten years later." β
"Whatever." An Tiemu said, "What we just have to deal with is to be dealt with quickly, I will accompany my little boy when I go back later." β
"Tut-tut, Second Master An, your old little obedient ones are very important, you can take it easy, don't let others give you a few crickets and you won't be able to find the north." An Xiu'er mentioned half-seriously, half-jokingly.
"Don't worry, I'm that kind of person, it's not like I haven't caught crickets, my general used to be invincible all over the world, but in the end it wasn't killed by our father, just a cricket, I'm just looking for fun, if others use this thing to confuse my mind and let me promise them something, it's impossible." An Tiemu said to the two of them.
"So, that's a lot of worry." An Xiu'er said, she just reminded casually that although An Tieshi likes crickets, he should also have this bottom line in his heart.
"But second brother, if you really like crickets, I'll catch you when the time comes." An Xiuer said.
"Come on, you could catch it before, but now who dares to let you catch crickets?" An Tiemu said.
"Then I'll let someone else catch you." An Xiu'er said with a smile, An Tiemu couldn't deny it, and An Xiu'er said: "I remembered that we used to catch crickets in the middle of the night, and in the future, if we can't do this business, I will make a living by catching crickets, and I'm not afraid of starvation." β
"Don't talk nonsense, our business is doing well, what can we do? No matter how bad it is, we still have some savings, and we can't go that far. An Tiemu said: "You used to be young, so you were able to catch crickets at night, and when we are old, where can we stay up late?" Wouldn't it be even worse if you fell on the road and had something bad? β
"You two, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, people have to look forward, we will only get better and better." An Tieshi listened to it from the sidelines, and only thought it was funny.
An Tiemu and An Xiu'er shut up, and An Tieshi took a lot of effort to pull their thoughts to the right path.
Back in Zhuangzi, the three of them began to talk about business again.
An Xiu'er felt that she had nothing to say now, An Tieshi's business was doing very well, and things were doing very well, many things, he was more thoughtful than her, and she just listened to many things, and then nodded.
An Tieshi told her about the situation of their construction of Zhuangzi, ordinary small Zhuangzi to rest, they have built almost a hundred, these Zhuangzi are on the outskirts of the major cities, relatively safe.
The function of this kind of small Zhuangzi is that the caravan people pass by here on weekdays, they will take a rest, and the province will live in the store, and this Zhuangzi will ask a few servants to take care of it in the future, and plant melons, fruits and vegetables in the Zhuangzi on weekdays, raise chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, strive for self-sufficiency, and be able to have a little surplus, so that when the people of their caravan pass by, they can eat and live.
This kind of Zhuangzi is like their special inn, which is relatively ordinary, because it is also built quickly.
And some strongholds, now only ten have been built, and the remaining ten are still slowly being built, An Tieshi feels that it is enough to build so many strongholds, and if the goods along the way are transferred too many times, it is not very safe, and it is easy to lose the goods, or others steal the goods.
Ten of these twenty large strongholds are because there are large cities in the vicinity, and An Tieshi thinks that he can do business in these cities at that time, so he builds an impregnable garrison outside, while the other ten are relatively remote places that need higher security.
Now that the strongholds are almost built, what is needed is manpower, but in the past two years, An Tieshi can be regarded as getting started, and these recruiting things can be handed over to him to do, An Xiuer doesn't have to worry about it.
Anyway, she can't count how many people there are in their caravan now, there are about 10,000 or 20,000 people now, and if you add these servants who take care of Zhuangzi, there will definitely be more.
Now in the secret room of their wood and stone caravan headquarters, there is already a thick pile of deeds of sale, and An Xiuer has even set aside a secret room to store these deeds of sale and house deeds, which are placed in different categories according to different places, so that if there is really something to find at that time, it will be easier to find.
Originally, An Xiuer thought that her Zhuangzi were all called Mushi Villa, but then she thought about it for a while, in order to distinguish between the big station and the small Zhuangzi, all the big strongholds were called Anshizhuang, and the small Zhuangzi was called Anmuzhuang, and then arranged in order, such as Anshi No. 1 Village and Anshi No. 2 Village, so that it was convenient for them to distinguish and record.
Only their headquarters in the county town is called Wood and Stone Villa, and this is the only one.
An Xiu'er's division method, An Tieshi and An Tiemu both think it is very applicable, originally they called these Zhuangzi Mushi Villa, and then added the name of that place in front, in this way, when conveying the place on weekdays, it is indeed not so convenient.
An Xiuer said this, and An Tieshi also asked people to pass on the order again, make new plaques, and replace all the plaques that were made before.
