Chapter 22: Business Comes to the Door
Meow Meow was thinking in her heart, how to open her mouth to tell her family to expand the scale of silkworm raising?
If she is coquettish, she can agree to it according to the degree of her family's love for her, but I don't know if it will be built on the scale I imagined.
So, she targeted her second brother, who was as business-minded as her, and followed Miao Qiang's ass every day, instilling in him the idea of making money from time to time.
But the other three brothers saw it, but they were so jealous, they didn't understand why the cute sister who has always treated everyone equally only likes the second child recently?
Is it tolerable or intolerable? Miao Qiang found that everyone has been very strange recently.
First of all, my sister, in addition to sleeping and going to Gongfang, followed me every step of the way.
And the three brothers, every time they look at themselves, they look like they have knives in their eyes.
However, before he could figure it out, he was opened by Meow Meow.
I don't know how he persuaded Miao Dahai and his wife in the end, in short, the silkworm shed was successfully built!
Meow Meow got up early in the morning, and heard the heat in his backyard, rubbing his eyes with his little hands and seeing, driving stakes and moving wood.
Miao Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and beckoned excitedly, "Meow, come on!" ”
Meow Meow finally came to her senses, and excitedly ran over to hug her second brother and kissed him on the face.
It's bad now, Miao Qiang is stupid, and the other three brothers are not happy to throw away the work in their hands, and they all look at the second child with dark faces.
Meow Meow realized it later, and hurriedly went over, not caring about the smell of their sour sweat, and everyone kissed it, including father and mother.
In an instant, the family seemed to be full of energy again.
After Miao Qiang came over, he touched his face and smirked for a long time.
With the wood given by Zhuangzi before, Miao Dahai took a few sons to the back mountain to cut thatch, and the spacious silkworm shed was built in this way.
Miao Dahai went to the village chief's house to borrow a donkey cart, and according to the list listed by Meow Meow and Miao Qiang, he bought the things needed to raise silkworms.
Meow Meow looked at the rows of clean and neat shelves, the cocoons that had been left behind to lay eggs, and the rather spectacular rabbit, the corners of her mouth raised.
Miao Qiang searched for a while before he found his sister in the backyard, so he was relieved.
Seeing my sister staring at the dozens of rabbits, she couldn't help asking, "Meow, now that several rabbits are pregnant, you won't let me sell them at the market, what are you going to do?" ”
Meow Meow looked up at the second brother and asked in a milky voice, "How much is a rabbit in the market?" ”
Miao Qiang scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "If it is an adult rabbit, it is about a hundred wen, and this kind of small one is also a dozen wen." ”
Meowth nodded.
Miao Qiang suddenly realized, "Do you want to wait for them to grow up before selling?" But how much grass is there! ”
Meowth shook her head again, "Have you forgotten how much I sold for that rabbit last time?" These are not in better condition than that one, and they can sell for at least seven or eight hundred wen! ”
Indeed, the last one ate several drops of her water, and this large group only ate two or three drops a day, so it was naturally worse.
But Miao Qiang laughed when he heard it, "Meow, you were just lucky last time......"
"Who says I can't be lucky all the time?" Meow Meow interrupted the second brother's words and said confidently.
Counting it, it's been more than a month, and it should be about the same.
Miao Qiang couldn't hit his sister, so he had to nod his head, but he was thinking in his heart, where to get some more tender grass.
"Meow! Meow meow! Meow meow! ”
As soon as the brother and sister finished speaking, they heard Miao Le shouting.
Miao Qiang raised his hand and gave his younger brother a chestnut on the top of his head, "If you have something to say, say it well!" ”
Miao Le covered his head and glared at the second brother, turned his head and said excitedly to his sister, "Meow, someone has come to buy your rabbit!" ”
Before Miao Qiang could react to what was going on, Meow Meow had already run out on her little short legs.
Before the time of tea, a red sandalwood carriage slowly drove into the village, and the four corners of the carriage were hung with silver bells, and when it walked, it made a jingling and crisp sound, and even the curtain of the carriage was made of fine Shu brocade.
Looking at both sides of the carriage, there was a tall horse on one side, and a young man of eight or nine years old was sitting on the big horse.
One has a dusty temperament, warm as jade, and the other is unruly and unruly.
Leading the way in front is a middle-aged man dressed as a steward.
As soon as the group entered the village, some sharp-eyed villagers recognized that the man in charge was the head of the nearby villa surnamed Gu.
Many of the villagers were tenant farmers in the Zhuangzi and came forward to say hello.
Liu Zhuangtou smiled at everyone and asked loudly, "Brother, let me ask you, where does Miao Dahai's family live?" ”
Some enthusiastic villagers pointed from afar, "Follow this road to the end, turn left and there will be three earthen houses." ”
Liu Zhuangtou thanked him, turned back and nodded slightly to the two teenagers, and directed the coachman to continue on his way.
There was a glutinous voice from a little girl in the car, "Brother, will you see a lot of little rabbits in a while?" ”
Gu Xiuyuan smiled slightly, and said softly, "Good heart, you can see it in a while." ”
Then came the crisp sound of slapping.
The villagers passing by all secretly smacked their tongues: What kind of people must be able to use such a carriage? Just a bell in the corner of the car was enough for their family to chew for a year.
Look at the two little sons again, tsk, they feel defiled at a glance.
When Meow Meow came out, her father and mother and several brothers were already standing in the middle of the yard in a daze, and they all felt a little helpless.
Miao Le could only say that Liu Zhuangtou just said that and ran back to find his sister, and when he came back, he saw the appearance of one of the teenagers, and hid behind his eldest brother with a snort.
The angry Miao Dahai almost kicked over, and Li Cuihua was just about to open her mouth to reprimand, when she saw the somewhat unruly young man laughing coldly, "It turned out to be you!" ”
Meow Meow was also stunned, but quickly reacted, stepped forward and saluted decently, "Hello little master!" ”
The little girl is three or four years old, with short hands and legs, and she is so cute.
But Qi Jingchen didn't feel cute at all, she actually called herself a little master!
"You guys, acquaintance?" Gu Xiuyuan was surprised.
Qi Jingchen thought that poaching pheasants during his cultivation was not a glorious thing after all, and then looked at the little girl with a warning look, looked away, and replied in a stiff tone, "I don't know, but I saw it once outside the village." ”
Gu Xiuyuan didn't think much about it when he heard it, originally his family Zhuangzi was near here, and he knew that this cousin would go to the Jokhang Temple every month to live for a while, so it was not surprising that he had seen it.
Facing the eyes of this big family, Gu Xiuyuan raised his voice lightly and said with a smile on his face, "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing!" ”
Then he motioned to Liu Zhuang to step forward and explain the reason.
