The moment of tranquility and tranquility passed quickly, a busy day, everyone was tired, the day of rebirth after the catastrophe, their family cherished, and especially cherished the time under the lamp every night, the family was together, the laughter was very low, there were always endless laughs and endless words.

The Zhou family scolded Xiaocheng from time to time, the Qin family said from time to time that Luo Qiao Erjing, Huazi and Shui Yuanzi fought for paper, and the family spent a lively night.

It was dark outside, and Xiao Qing thought that she would have to go to the mountains early tomorrow morning, so she went to sleep first.

She wasn't going to let people follow her tomorrow, she was going to go into the mountains by herself.

Following

Xiao Qing carried two bamboo baskets on his back, brought the leftover white rice and meat buns from last night, and some braised meat to the mountains.

She hadn't been in the mountains for two or three days, and she didn't know what had happened to the greens and peppers she had planted.

Since she knew that Flower Face was a mandrill, she was more cautious, the last time she came to the mountains at night to find a mess to help draw a map, Flower Face almost attacked her as a stranger, but fortunately she took out the food in time and put it in front of them, and these mandrills saw clearly that it was her!

As soon as she entered the deep mountains, she hung the food in its original place, and then got up to look at the vegetables in the field, and finished picking the mung beans by the way.

Most of the mung beans have been picked, nearly 20 acres of mung beans, the harvest can be about 1,500 catties, if it is put aside in modern times, there are at least 800 catties of wheat in one acre.

She was not in a hurry to pick mung beans, but looked at the rapeseed she sprinkled.

In the ditches, the green vegetables and celery that had grown young shoots before had grown a finger long, but the millet peppers had just broken through the ground and sprouted, and the spinach and cabbage also grew very well.

In another month, the vegetables here will be ready to eat, and their family will also have vegetables to eat.

There was a green vegetable that she had sprinkled too thickly, and she crouched down to mention the excess.

She put the plucked sprouts and greens in the bamboo basket, and when she made mung bean vermicelli at noon, she put it in the pot, and the taste should not be bad.

Later, she will also plant some coriander, shallots, ginger and garlic, which can be bought in the county, and she is not in a hurry to plant them.

After she brought it to the greens, she went to pick the mung beans.

Seeing that the twenty acres of land were cleared, she wanted to quickly turn over the land, and then plant peppers, and it would be almost ready at the end of the year, but it depends on whether there is water, the weather is extreme or not, and the mountains are deep here, even if the weather is extreme, it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the water and voids are okay.

Xiao Qing's speed of picking mung beans has unconsciously accelerated, these days in ancient times he worked every day, and there were still a lot of things waiting for him to be slow.

In the future, grain will also be planted, but the remaining barren land close to Lao Qiao's family, I am afraid that I will not be able to grow food, and I must have the thirty or forty acres of land behind the mountain, and now in Qiao Xiangmin's hands, she will come back as soon as possible.

Just thinking about it, the work in hand also sped up.

When the morning was approaching, Xiao Qing returned home with two bamboo baskets on his back, and after eating, he took more than 100 catties of chili powder noodles and went to the county seat, Qiao Fang wanted to follow her to help keep accounts, and she had to tell her how to use each accounting subject on the way, and under what circumstances, Qiao Fang listened very carefully.

Although it was like listening to a book to her, she felt that it was easy to accept after being simplified by her mother.

Xiao Qing thought that this hundred catties would temporarily let Zhou Chuan help send it to Beijing, but she couldn't trouble Zhou Chuan in the future, she was going to buy a carriage.

Looking for an old horse every day, it's very troublesome, it's best to buy a carriage by yourself, when the old horse is a coachman, give him ten yuan a day in the county, if you go to Beijing, you will give fifty yuan a day, plus food on the road, which is much better than him running a donkey cart every day.

Thinking so on the road, he said that he wanted to take care of the old horse as a coachman, but he didn't expect the old horse to open his mouth and agree, saying that he had driven a carriage for people when he was young, but he hadn't touched it for many years, so he had to be familiar with it first.

Xiao Qing also smiled and said okay, let him go to the carriage to get familiar with it in the past two days.

The donkey cart came to the door of the guest restaurant, and Xiao Qing handed over a hundred catties of chili powder noodles to Zhou Chuan.

Zhou Chuan immediately found someone to run for her, and when he learned that Xiao Qing was going to buy a carriage, he smiled happily.

"Shopkeeper Xiao should have bought it a long time ago, why didn't he open his mouth until now? I know a guy who sells horses in the horse market, and they sell horses to big families, but you also know that we are short of horses in Daqing, and the price of horses has been very expensive recently, so I will take you there myself and ask him to give you cheaper? ”

As soon as Xiao Qing heard that he knew the guys in the horse market, the price could be cheap, how good it was!

"Shopkeeper Zhou, won't it delay you to greet guests?" Xiao Qing saw a room full of guests: "You tell me where you are, I'll report your name there!" ”

Zhou Chuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, your matter is more important, I'll take you personally!" ”

Xiao Qing saw that Zhou Chuan was very enthusiastic, and he didn't shirk it, and when Zhou Chuan arranged the things in the store, he took her to the horse market.

At three o'clock, Zhou Chuan rushed to the horse market with Xiao Qing and Qiao Fang.

The horse market is located in the southwest of Yaoshan County, close to the Hou Mansion, because the horses of Daqing have been exchanged from the neighboring countries in the southwest in recent years, so the horse market is located at the southwest gate of Yaoshan.

The horse market in Yaoshan is just a horse farm set up by the nobles, in a vacant land in the southwest of Yaoshan, a few horse traders stay for a day or two to rest, if the nobles choose a good horse, they will buy it directly.

Most of these horses brought from the southwest were sent to the northern Yizhou to be used as war horses.

After Zhou Chuan got out of the carriage, he invited Xiao Qing and Qiao Fang to go to the horse market.

Entering the horse market, the pungent smell of horse manure came over, Qiao Fang and Xiao Qing didn't feel unpleasant, when they were in the village, they smelled too much worse than this.

Zhou Chuan walked in front with a smile and led the two to a blue brick house.

Xiao Qing looked at the open horse farm over there, and there seemed to be a familiar person riding a horse, but he disappeared again in a flash, so he simply didn't take it seriously.

"Is Brother Liu here?" Zhou Chuan asked as he entered the door.

Xiao Qing and Qiao Fang stood at the door and didn't go in.

Zhou Chuan walked around the house, but he didn't see anyone, and he felt very strange.

"There was no one in the house!" Zhou Chuan came out and guessed: "Is it over there in the racecourse?" Let's go over there and have a look. ”

Xiao Qing and Qiao Fang hummed.

When Qiao Fang entered the horse market just now, she saw someone practicing riding and archery on the side of the horse farm, and the figure was very familiar, so familiar that she resisted.

She remembered the figure, which had been so close to her, and it was annoying to her.

She walked a few steps, not wanting to have any contact with the man, let alone being seen by the man.

"Mother, go ahead, I'll wait for you here!" Qiao Fang said softly.

Xiao Qing saw her stop, and looked at the people on the other side of the racecourse again, and there was something else in his heart that he didn't understand.

"Then you will wait for me in the carriage first?"
