Chapter 41 Buying a donkey cart for transportation
"Uncle, how do you sell your donkey cart and carriage?"
"The donkey cart is three taels of silver, and the carriage is five taels of silver, which car does the girl look at?"
The peddler looked at her and did not look like a person who could afford a donkey cart, so he did not report much hope, and replied.
Chu Qingchen could buy a carriage, but when she thought that if she drove the carriage back to the village, the people in the village might not know how to chew the root of her tongue.
The donkey cart can pull some goods, and you can sit down with two children into the city, and it is cheap, just the donkey cart, which is not as eye-catching as the horse-drawn carriage.
"Uncle, I want that donkey cart, can it be cheaper?"
Chu Qingchen glanced around, and at a glance, he fell in love with the second donkey cart on the left, the donkey was very strong, and he didn't hear anything outside the window, so he just cared about eating grass and cooking donkeys, and it was easy to feed at a glance.
"The girl has a good eye, this donkey is as strong as a calf, it is the best donkey I have here, and I can't miss a penny, if the girl fancies other donkeys can be cheaper"
The peddler said that he was not in a hurry to use the money, and he was reluctant to sell the donkey, so he kept it at home.
The donkey in Chu Qingchen's picture will not be replaced for a few pennies cheaper.
"That's it, uncle can't be cheap, there are always gifts, maybe one day I'll come to buy a carriage."
"When the girl speaks, I'll give you a pair of cushions."
The hawker didn't expect her to come again, and there were only a few people with donkey carts in Xiyang Town, not to mention that there were even fewer people who came to buy horse-drawn carts with donkey carts.
Chu Qingchen took the cushion, it was soft to the touch, and at first glance, it was made of new cotton, and the embroidery was also good.
"Uncle, I have two children, can you give me more cushions?"
"Okay, the girl has a brain."
The uncle only sold a donkey cart in three days, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he gave her another one.
Chu Qingchen happily took out three taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it over.
These two cushions happen to be one for Yuanbao and one for Tuanbao.
Chu Qingchen sat in front of the little donkey, and soon arrived at the rice shop where he bought rice a few days ago.
"Does the shopkeeper have glutinous rice?"
"It's the girl who bought rice that day, glutinous rice and polished rice are a price, all of which are five cents a catty."
The shopkeeper recognized the girl at a glance, and when he saw her driving the donkey cart over, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but not everyone could afford to buy a donkey cart.
"Twenty catties of glutinous rice, twenty catties of polished rice are coming"
So much, didn't the girl just buy a lot of rice two days ago? It's eaten so quickly, how many people are in the girl's family?"
The shopkeeper muttered while loading rice, even if there are ten people, they won't eat so fast?
"The shopkeeper I use your rice to make bamboo rice and sell it for money, the use is naturally fast, I often have to come to buy rice in the future, the amount is large, can the shopkeeper be cheaper?"
"The bamboo tube rice is sold by the girl, and my wife also bought two portions in the morning, the taste is unique, no wonder the girl can buy a donkey cart, presumably she made a lot of money in one day."
The shopkeeper looked at the girl with a little admiration, and a little girl had this skill really admirable.
When he thinks of the bamboo rice, the taste is not good, even if he eats it every day, he can't eat enough.
"The girl has packed all the rice for you, a total of 200 wen will charge you 190 wen, and it is cheaper than 10 wen"
The shopkeeper is also an open-minded businessman, the bamboo rice is so delicious that it must be in demand every day, and the girl will buy rice at his house in the future, so she will earn more than a star and a half.
Chu Qingchen didn't say anything anymore, it was already a lot to be cheaper, and he paid the money and took the rice and left.
I bought some red dates, raisins, dates and other candied fruits, and spent forty yuan.
She plans to add more flavor and sweetness to the bamboo rice.
Chu Qingchen bought some dishes and chopsticks for use at home, thinking that some of the talismans in the space had been used up, so he bought some yellow paper and cinnabar, and prepared to go back and draw some talismans to store in the space, which was also convenient to use.
Everything was almost bought, and she drove the donkey cart back to Peach Blossom Village.
What kind of wealth did the Shen family lady make? I bought a donkey cart and came back."
"Didn't you just buy food two days ago? Why did she buy so much food today, and could she eat it all for the two and a half people in her family? ”
"Oh, you don't know, the Shen family's lady makes bamboo rice and sells it in the city, and it sells well."
Several women chattered and discussed, looking at the sturdy donkey, the grain on the cart, and their eyes were full of jealousy, but the title in their mouths had been changed from a little cheap hoof to a lady of the Shen family.
Chu Qingchen's little pepper's personality can be regarded as standing, if she really provokes her, the combination of several women is not her opponent.
Chu Qingchen ignored them and went straight back to his house.
"Yuanbao, Tuanbao, my mother is back, look at my mother who bought a donkey and came back"
As soon as Chu Qingchen entered the courtyard, he began to shout.
There was no movement for a long time, if in the past she only had to enter the yard, Yuanbao would run out to meet her.
Chu Qingchen had a faint bad premonition in his heart, and the speed on his feet also accelerated a lot.
"Yuanbao, Tuanbao ......"
Still didn't respond, Chu Qingchen looked for the corner of the room, but didn't see the two children.
It was noon at this time, and the two children ran out to play knowing that she would come back at this hour, and they would go home on time to wait for her.
The more Chu Qingchen thought about it, the more his heart sank, could it be that she was not there, and the two children were bullied again.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, have you seen my two dolls?"
Chu Qingchen shouted at the next door.
"The two children played with Fat Tiger at my house in the morning, and went back early, what's wrong?"
Sister-in-law Zhang heard the shouting and hurried out to check.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, my doll is gone, where will these two children go when they are so young?"
Chu Qingchen was rarely anxious, and for the first time, he was in a mess because of something.
"Big sister, don't worry, it's better to go to the village to find out, will the two dolls run out to play crazy and forget to go home"
Sister-in-law Zhang could see that she was really anxious and comforted.
"No, they are all sensible children, I'm afraid that I'll be worried, I'll go home at the end of the day, and I won't play outside"
"What can I do? I guess it was an accident."
Sister-in-law Zhang was also anxious when she heard this, and she said the wrong thing when she was in a hurry.
Seeing that Chu Qingchen's face turned pale.
"Big sister, look at my crow's mouth, and I said the wrong thing again. The two children are blessed children, they will be fine, or I will take the fat tiger to the village with you to look for it."
Sister-in-law Zhang's family hasn't finished work yet, otherwise she would have dragged him to the village entrance to find the child.
"I just came back from the city, I didn't see the two children in the village, sister-in-law Zhang, have you heard any movement in my house, or seen someone come to my house?"
Chu Qingchen can't mess around at the moment, no matter how worried she is, she has to keep a clear head.
"Big sister, I've been in the house, I don't know the situation of your family, and I haven't heard any movement, what can I do, the two children are gone, or don't report to the official"
Sister-in-law Zhang proposed.
"I'm afraid it's too late to report to the official, and it will take a lot of time for the official to go to the city, so let's do it, sister-in-law Zhang is willing to go to the village chief to explain the situation on my behalf, let the village chief report to the official, I will look for clues at home, and we will act separately without delaying time."
Chu Qingchen looked at Sister-in-law Zhang and said.
