"It's a great joy indeed. It's that in the future, the second brother will have to work hard to get up early to make tofu and send tofu. When the time comes, he will earn half of the silver and divide it into half of the second brother. Gu Xia said sincerely.

The work of grinding tofu at home was completely contracted by the second brother alone, and she didn't need to stretch out her hand at all.

It's not easy for her second brother to do her best and not pay her salary.

"I'm not afraid of hard work, let alone a copper plate from my sister-in-law, I made it clear at the family meeting before. In the future, no matter how much money my sister-in-law makes, I will not ask for it. I'll do the same. is still the same sentence, the sister-in-law buys more meat at home, and the food is ready. Hehe, I love meat. "Jianghu once again showed his attitude.

Gu Xia responded with a smile, "Since the second brother has said so, then I won't mention the matter of giving you the silver in the future." I'll help my second brother save for it first, and I'll marry you later. ”

Jianghu touched the back of his head embarrassedly.

"Xiao Xia has been able to surprise the family every day since you got married. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Mother Jiang stepped forward and took her daughter-in-law's hand affectionately, her eyes sincere.

"Mother, just wait to enjoy a good life. When I get the dividends from Fuxiang Building, I will buy a big gold bracelet for my mother to wear. Does my mother like it? Gu Xia asked softly.

Mother Jiang's eyes were red with emotion. She actually has no concept of money, let alone gold and silver jewelry. But knowing that this is the daughter-in-law's filial piety, she is just a mess of emotion.

"Xiao Xia's heart is understood. When you earn money, you can save it, and you don't have to buy gold bracelets for your mother. If you like it, you buy one. ”

Gu Xia suddenly thought of a question, before dawn, the second brother was going to enter the city to deliver tofu to Fuxiang Building, bean curd or something.

There was no ox cart so early, and it was not good to go to the village chief's house every day to borrow an ox cart.

"The second brother will come into the city with me in a while, let's buy an ox cart and come back, and it will be convenient to deliver goods back and forth in the city." Gu Xia proposed.

Anyway, you have to buy it sooner or later, and the sooner you buy it, the more convenient it is.

Jianghu was quite happy after hearing this, he was worried about how to deliver tofu tomorrow, and his sister-in-law proposed to buy an ox cart. He also knew that the family should have an ox cart, but the money was a problem.

"My sister-in-law has been buying things at home since she got married. After spending a lot of silver, do you have extra money to buy an ox cart? My sister-in-law hasn't even started to make a lot of money, so she has to spend so much money every day. Isn't that spending more than earning? ”

"You don't understand this, I spent a lot of money to buy a big bag of coarse salt before, but you also saw that coarse salt is purified into a bag of fine salt, don't you know?

There are also various ingredients for making fresh noodles bought in the city, although oysters are quite expensive. But if there is no fresh powder, I can't become the second owner of Fuxiang Building today.

Every penny I spend is spent. Including the ox cart that is about to be bought, there will be no return without investment.

Don't look at the upfront investment, you will earn more money at that time. The second brother can't just look at the present, he must think long-term, and he can't be petty. Gu Xia patiently explained, and mentioned a few more words to the second brother.

She lived two lives, and in her body lived not a fifteen-year-old girl, but a thirty-year-old soul from modern times. naturally understands more truths than this hairy boy in Jianghu, and is willing to tell her second brother what she understands. It can also tell him to take fewer detours.

Jianghu was stunned when he heard it, he really felt that his sister-in-law's words made sense. In the past, he respected his father and eldest brother.

Now there is another sister-in-law.

"Thank you sister-in-law for teaching me the truth, and I hope my sister-in-law can give me more guidance in the future." Jianghu's eyes are sincere.

He is not a person who doesn't know anything, and his sister-in-law treats him as a relative, so she bothers to say this. Others are afraid that they don't bother to pay attention.

Gu Xia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she was afraid that she would say too much, and the second brother would not listen to it and not say it, and she would be unconvinced and dislike her. In that case, she won't say anything more.

In the afternoon, there was an ox cart into the city, and the two of them took the afternoon car into the city. Straight for the bull market.

The cattle market in the county town is a street specializing in cattle sales. When Gu Xia and the others walked a few steps, they could see scalpers, buffaloes, and even a few yaks. There are few breeds of yaks, and the price is expensive, so Gu Xia does not consider it.

Compared with buffaloes, cattle are better to feed and less prone to disease, and can drive and plough the land.

"Sister-in-law wants to buy scalpers, do you have a fancy for scalpers?" Jianghu saw that her sister-in-law's eyes had been looking at scalpers in the bull market, so she guessed that she wanted to buy scalpers.

"Don't worry, shop around, always pick a strong scalper to go back. In case it is a sick cow, buy it back and reason with whom. Gu Xia replied.

There are too many scalpers, to be honest, they are all a little picky, and they haven't seen a single one that satisfies Gu Xia.

The cattle dealers on both sides kept shouting, "My cattle are the best and the most complete, and the guest officer will come in and take a look." ”

Gu Xia didn't pay attention to it, this was purely Lao Wang's boasting of selling melons, whether the scalper was good or not, she would see it herself.

Gu Xia walked to the end of the bull market and glanced at it casually, and it was this glance that made her find a good cow.

An elderly man sells only one cow, and the cow hair around it is purple-red with a small amount of yellow hair.

The body of the cow is particularly well-proportioned, the limbs are strong and toned, and the bones look like a good cow.

Gu Xia was in love, she stepped forward and asked, "How is this scalper priced, uncle?" ”

"If you don't sell it for less than twenty taels, your vision is really poisonous, this cattle is my own raising, and it has been raised for two or three years, which is when the cow is the most capable in its prime. I'm a very strong cow. It's also human. If it weren't for the fact that my wife was sick and needed money to see a doctor, I would be reluctant to sell it. The old man touched the cow's body, very reluctant.

Gu Xia could also see that this ox was strong, otherwise he would not have picked this one among so many cows.

When she heard the old man's words, her heart softened, and she didn't plan to bargain, not to mention that the old man didn't want to be expensive, it was worth twenty taels.

"Uncle, here are twenty taels of silver, count them carefully, and this cow will be mine. I don't know if this head has a name? Gu Xia stuffed a bag of silver into the palm of the old man's hand.

The old man didn't expect that the girl in front of him was not very old, but she was a cool one, and she was sold so quickly. He counted the money carefully, and not a penny was missing.

It's just that the cattle that have been raised at home for many years are really not happy to be sold, so they replied wiltedly, "This cow is called Zhuangzhuang." ”

Gu Xia touched the cow's back, it was quite obedient and didn't move, she called softly, "Zhuangzhuang, this name is worthy of its name." ”

"Hey, old man, how did you sell this cow? It looks very strong, and the master is in love. I want to buy your cow. Wang Wu swaggered with a knife and ordered. The big man who walked side by side with him also carried a knife and called Wang Liu.

"I'm sorry for this guest officer, you are one step late, this scalper has already been bought, I have collected all the silver, you can go to someone else's house to have a look." The old man looked at the knife in the hands of the brothers and made him dizzy. There was a tremor in his tone.
