Chapter 18: Reading for Eggs

On the link of what materials need to be reserved, Daddy Hu still has some opinions.

"Food is the top priority, if it doesn't rain again this year, the price of grain will rise, Jiazhou's rice is now 70 wen a catty, gray surface is 60 wen, and there is still a shortage of food in the mountains."

"There's also a guy thing, I see that your iron spear head is good, and I also want to let the second boy of the in-laws beat a few handles, there is food and guns, don't panic, hehe!"

People are old and fine, and their ability to grasp key points is good.

"Dad, do you want to buy a mule? You can find a mountain pass to store the car frame, and the mule rushes back, and it is convenient to go into the city to sell goods! With two mule carts this time, we can buy more food too! "I think you can have this.

"Shall we buy one, then? Go back, your mother has to scold me! ”

"I'll help you persuade my mother when you go back, really, Dad, I found out why are you so afraid of your daughter-in-law?"

"What nonsense is telling the truth, our family, who is not afraid of your mother!" Cuihua was speechless, and she was afraid that her wife was still proud.

The next day, after breakfast, I went to the mule and horse market in Mao County, where there are almost no horses, but there are many cows, mules, and donkeys, and the old hunter is still very good at watching the livestock.

Daddy Hu broke open a big green mule and looked at the teeth, waist, and hooves.

To Cuihua science: "If you buy a mule, you have to buy this kind of narrow hoof mule, which has good labor (endurance)!" The teeth should also be broken to see the degree of wear, this mainly depends on the age, but also whether it has insect teeth, and the waist should be slender, the mule in your grandmother's house may have been dry..."

This kind of posture is more familiar with the business than himself, and the horse market guys don't talk much, uncle, you fancy us and then pull the price! watched Daddy Hu and his buddy gesture in their sleeves for a long time. You have to go next door to buy the frame, which can be regarded as a dragon.

Holding back all the way, Cuihua drove the mule cart parallel to Hu Dad, and asked, "You have been comparing for a long time, how much money did you buy a mule?" "Thirty taels! The carriage cost five taels, and it hurt me. "Don't be in pain, you still have to buy food, let's focus on spending money today!"

The grain store in Mao County is in full swing, because it is the closest county to Jiazhou, the grain reserves are still very sufficient, and the price is also good (expensive).

Parking the mule cart in the stable of one of the largest grain stores, the two began to discuss the purchase category and quantity, Daddy Hu prepared half rice and half gray noodles, each bought 100 catties, and bought old grain first, this mule is estimated to be a maximum of 400 catties of carrying weight. Cuihua copies homework.

As a result, there are not too many people who want to buy stale grain, and there are many people who are careful about their budgets. In the end, I still bought 200 catties of rice last autumn and last summer's gray noodles, the price here is the same as Jiazhou, 70 Wen for rice, 60 Wen for gray noodles, a total of three taels and six dollars of silver, and 1000 copper coins for one or two silver.

I also bought a few boxes of dragon whisker cakes for the little doll, and the family divided them into two boxes.

"You're so used to being a child, so they always want to go to your house! Just like you, you have a lot of food! ”

"You still say that I, you are not used to children, you come to deliver meat every once in a while, and your two grandsons are so strong, isn't it your credit?"

"Can meat be the same as snacks?"

"For children, it's all the same, maybe you love sugar more, you ask your Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan, do you love meat or sugar!"

The father and daughter were fighting, unconvinced by each other, and both felt that the other party was more accustomed to children.

When I traveled west from Mao County to Maliu County, I found that there were many more displaced people than in Jiazhou and Mao County.

When he returned to Qiaotou Town, Father Hu deliberately went to the blacksmith shop where Yuan Lao Er was, ordered 4 iron guns, and asked the iron handles to be hollow, and the daughter's 50-pound iron gun was not used well by several sons in the family, and then the two masters went back to their respective homes.

After being away from home for three days and two nights, although the eldest and second heads did not cry, their eyes were red when they saw their mothers arriving home.

"Woo, mother, you will take me next time, I promise not to be skinny, I am obedient!"

"You still know your skin, shame on your face!" The mothers hugged each other and laughed. The rice and noodles of the mule cart were brought out, and a box of dragon whiskers was given to the big head for him to send one by one, and another box was given to Ma's, and the child who was still crying and chirping immediately became alive.

Before going to bed, the adults of the old Yuan family attended a meeting, except for the two children and two dogs.

Hearing that Cuihua sold beads for 1,000 taels (the rest was greedy for ink by herself), everyone was in a trance for a while, and they had never seen so much silver in their lives, not gold, because Cuihua took out 10 gold ingots. But the family was rare, and in the end it was unanimously agreed to let Cuihua take care of the house.

The focus was on the situation of the victims in Maliu County, and everyone who originally wanted to go to the Gou family for trouble after the beginning of spring unanimously agreed to suspend it, but don't go to poke the hornet's nest.

The main reason is that the foundation of my own house is thick enough, except for the export gas, I can't look down on the broken furniture. Cuihua reminds everyone to keep a low profile and don't float, especially the third child, who is not strict in his mouth, his wealth is not exposed, and there are people who ask for food everywhere.

Yuan Laosan, who was underestimated, was very unhappy, and the third child, who was already 14 years old and ate a 15-year-old meal, said that he was an adult, and he could say that he was a daughter-in-law, are we so ignorant! 16-year-old, 17-year-old second child doesn't have a daughter-in-law yet!

This is also an important task for the Yuan family this year, and Cuihua said that she would send two heads to her eldest brother-in-law, Zhao Xiucai, in the upstream village to study, huh? The daughter-in-law (sister-in-law) still has such ambitions?

"It's not for the imperial examination, now that the imperial court has stopped taking the exam, the main thing is to let them learn a few words, our family doesn't know a single word, and one day someone will be deceived and maybe they will help the number of silver!" All of them say, well, that's fine.

The two ends who were told that Ming'er was going to school protested, is it not fun to recruit cats and dogs or is there not enough friends? People are small and have no human rights, and protests are ineffective.

"If you come back every day and recognize 5 more words, your mother will reward you with 2 eggs! Kill a chicken if you know a hundred words! ”

"Talking counts?" The two heads immediately came to the spirit, that's an egg!

"When did my mother scold you?"

"Haha, I'm going to eat 2 eggs a day, I'm so awesome about me!" The two heads are happy to roll on the bed, read for the eggs, and the book does not lose me!

On the eighteenth day of the first month, Zhao Xiucai's private school opened. Cuihua carried the six rites with two heads of apprenticeship, both of whom were relatives, what is there to say, and successfully accepted the two heads.

also officially named the two: Yuan Wenjie (big head) Yuan Wenbin (two heads), anyway, I hope that the two babies can become talents, well, one wants to eat eggs, and the other also wants to eat chicken by the way!
