Chapter Eighty-Five: Buying a Horse
"Aren't you going out to sell again?" Ye Yuan didn't want Liu Man'er to go out and show his face.
"Then you go with me, otherwise our eggs will be too many to sell, and my mother will die in a hurry." Liu Man'er said.
"That's why don't you go to a restaurant tomorrow and ask, I don't want you to go to the market every day."
Ye Yuan watched Liu Man'er become more and more beautiful day by day, he was not at ease, but he was busy with the house recently, and he had to buy materials, go to the carpenter's house to see, and often go to the place where the house was built to inspect, so he really didn't have much time to accompany Liu Man'er to sell eggs on the street.
"That's good, but the price is too low, I won't sell it, two for three cents." Liu Man'er is also a lazy person, she likes money, but she doesn't like to do business on the street, if she sells directly to a restaurant, she can be much easier.
"Yes, Man'er, the eggs you made are so delicious, there will definitely be many people willing to buy them." Ye Yuan smiled.
"Really? But we don't count. Liu Man'er said and went out to call Fang's, Ye He, Fulu and others to taste it, they also said that it was delicious, and there were a few left, and Liu Man'er gave it to the aunts in the small workshop.
There are rewards and punishments, I just scolded them, this braised egg can be regarded as a sweet date.
"Is it really delicious?" Liu Man'er asked Fang Shi and the others again, and said, "This is a snack I made, I plan to sell it in the restaurant, if it is not delicious, you must tell me, I will adjust the recipe again." ”
"I think it's delicious." Fang said, "There is no problem. ”
Liu Man'er looked at Fu Lu and Ye He again, but the two of them had never eaten anything good, and now when they saw Liu Man'er such a delicious braised egg, they only cared about eating it, and they couldn't say why they came at all.
Liu Man'er was not reluctant, she tasted it herself, and thought it was indeed delicious, but she didn't expect to make this braised egg at one time, Liu Man'er's heart was really extremely proud.
When she first made spiced peanuts, she adjusted the recipe many times, and it seems that now she has experience and can grasp some of the various flavors.
In the evening, Liu Man'er made some eggs, and she planned to ask Ye Yuan to go to the town the next day to ask, cook them in the evening, and heat them again the next day, which was 100% delicious.
The next morning, Liu Man'er also specially rented Uncle Tiezhu's ox cart, and she asked Ye Yuan to pull up the stove with an ox cart, so that even if the restaurant didn't want it, Ye Yuan could still sell it on this street.
Of course, Ye Yuan should not be a person who can sell, so Liu Man'er has been waiting for Ye Yuan's news at home in the morning, and then she felt that this would not work, so she hid in her room and painted tricks, so that she finally forgot the time and didn't think about it.
When Ye Yuan came back in the morning, she was still busy with her own affairs, and when Fulu told her that Ye Yuan was back, she ran over on her feet, and when she saw Ye Yuan, she asked, "How is it?" ”
"What do you say?" Ye Yuan turned his head to look at her: "You care about your business now, you don't care about me anymore." ”
"How is that possible?" Liu Man'er said, "Aren't you fine?" ”
Ye Yuan drove the cow to the backyard, put the things down, and then drove the cow back to Uncle Tiezhu, Liu Man'er saw that the pot was empty, but she didn't know whether his eggs were sold to the restaurant or retailed?
But it shouldn't be possible to sell, Liu Man'er can't imagine Ye Yuan shouting at the top of her throat, she doesn't want him to do such a thing, and he came back so early today, it shouldn't be possible to sell it so quickly.
Besides, it's just some eggs, if she is so anxious, it seems too tasteless, which is not good, so when Ye Yuan came back again, Liu Man'er went back to the room to draw tricks.
"Man'er, don't you ask me about today?" Ye Yuan came to the room to look for her.
"Don't ask." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "Anyway, the person who is in a hurry is my mother and not me." ”
"Okay, if you don't want to know, forget it." Ye Yuan was about to go out, but Liu Man'er didn't follow out as usual, but still picked up the brush and sketched a simple flower on a simple sachet very comfortably.
Ye Yuan saw that Liu Man'er didn't ask, so he went out, he took a turn on the base of the new house, took a hand by the way, and after seeing that there was no problem, he came back.
At lunchtime, Ye Yuan told Liu Man'er the news, "It has been sold, and it is still sold in the restaurant of the Tao shopkeeper's house." ”
"Okay." Liu Man'er nodded, "What about the price?" ”
"According to what you said, ten fifteen wen." Ye Yuan replied.
"It's always troublesome for the shopkeeper, next time I have to thank them." Fang's Fang said.
Liu Man'er nodded, but said again: "This is actually a mutually beneficial thing, our family didn't say that it was taking advantage of his family, my eggs can also be sold in other restaurants, mother, don't have psychological pressure." ”
In fact, Liu Man'er thinks that businessmen should be interested in each other, and if they are contaminated with favors, they will make themselves feel as if they owe favors to others.
Just like the Fang family, she always felt that she owed the Tao shopkeeper a favor, in fact, if Ye Qing didn't work in his restaurant, she could also sell it to him, or she could sell it to others.
But she just thought about it in her heart, Fang was a person who talked about human feelings, if she said it, she would definitely lecture her.
In fact, the Tao shopkeeper bought it directly, and it did save her a lot of effort, and she should thank him well, but she didn't want the Fang family to be unable to stand up in front of the Tao shopkeeper because of these things, and she didn't want Ye Yuan to have this kind of thought.
However, looking at Ye Yuan's expression, he knew that he shouldn't be able to, he was thinking too much.
There are too many eggs piled up at home, even if this little thing is solved, Ye Yuan told the shopkeeper Tao that every time he catches up with the market in the future, he will send him a delivery, Ye Yuan will go early and return early, but it will not delay his efforts.
It's just that when rushing to the market, the ox cart of the Tiezhu family is to be used to carry the villagers, but it is not rented, and Liu Man'er feels that this is a trouble.
If she bought a cow at home, it would be difficult to take care of it, not to mention, now her yard is full of chickens, ducks and rabbits, which has been stained with the place, and another cow is a little crowded, and the most important thing is that there are so many people in her house, there is really no one to herd the cow.
The last time the family bought the two sheep, one of the ewes began to get pregnant again, maybe then there will be a little lamb, this sheep eats a lot of food, now they are let run in the backyard, but this cow can't do it, then let it run in the yard, it will tear down this backyard.
But there are so many things at home, and I often need to run outside, and it is really inconvenient to not have a means of transportation, Liu Man'er thought about it again and again, and still decided, "Ye Yuan, why don't I buy you a horse?" This will be convenient for you to go to the town and county in the future. ”
"Didn't you say there wasn't enough money?" Ye Yuan frowned slightly.
"There's no money to make any more money, it's much more convenient to have a horse." Liu Man'er said: "Now our family has the income of the sachet, as well as the income of the braised eggs, plus these little rabbits, you occasionally go hunting, and the cost of expenses is cut out in a day, there should be an income of one or two silver, and when the time comes, the money for a horse will come back in about twenty days." ”
"And with this horse, you can save a lot of time and do a lot of things." Liu Man'er said: "It's just that in the future, you will have to take care of this horse yourself." ”
"Naturally, if you decide to buy a horse, then the next time I go to the county seat, I will buy a horse by the way?" Ye Yuan confirmed.
"You still have to ask your mother, after all, this horse is not cheap." Liu Man'er looked at Fang's family.
The Fang clan didn't have any reason to object, anyway, the money was earned by their young man, so let them spend it, thinking of this, she nodded and said, "Yes, whatever you want." ”
"That's okay, remember to buy the car by the way, put on the car when the time comes, and take your mother to play in the county." Liu Man'er said with a smile.
"Okay." Ye Yuan nodded.
After a few days, Ye Yuan went to the county seat and really brought a horse back, there are no people who have bought horses in this village, Ye Yuan drove this horse back, naturally it caused a sensation again, and the people in the village came to see it, saying something such as: Now this old Ye family is ancestral tomb is smoking, this Ye Yuan has a future, the Fang family is good luck and so on.
After the crowd dispersed, Ye Yuan took the Fang clan and Liu Man'er and the others to take this carriage and walk around the stone road in the village, Liu Man'er was also the first time to ride such a carriage, it was quite fast, and it was also a little bumpy, but it was much better than riding an ox cart.
"Not bad, not bad." Liu Man'er admired on her face, "The speed is quite fast." ”
"If this horse is at full speed, it can run seventy or eighty miles in an hour." Ye Yuan replied.
Liu Man'er listened and said: "Doesn't that mean that in the future, when we go to the town, it will be almost half an hour, and if we go to the county seat, it will be almost two quarters of an hour." ”
"Yes." Ye Yuan nodded.
"That's so convenient, I can often go to the county town to play in the future." Liu Man'er smiled on her face, looked at the Fang clan again, and said, "Mother, you shouldn't have been to the county seat for a long time, right?" When will we take Xiaohe and go around the county together? ”
"I haven't been there for seven or eight years." Fang Shi showed a look of reminiscing about the past: "I don't know what the county looks like now, let's talk about it when our house is built." ”
"Well, during the Chinese New Year, we can go to the county to play together and see the lanterns or something." Liu Man'er proposed.
"It's still early for the Chinese New Year." Fang Shi struck, "It's just been the Mid-Autumn Festival, take your time." ”
Liu Man'er smiled: "Well, it's to take your time." ”
