Chapter 65: Buffalo Black
"Sell vegetables! Fresh cucumbers, beans, and chili peppers! ”
"What did you grow! So many dishes! ”
"The seeds are well bought, this sister-in-law, weigh a little and go home."
"Brother Wang, it turned out to be your family."
Dr. Ji took Tong Yuan, Tong Yuan was carrying a vegetable basket in his hand, and the two of them came out to buy vegetables.
"Doctor Ji, come on, I'll pack some vegetables for you, fresh."
Dr. Ji was almost squeezed down, there were too many people.
Mihara was holding a basket, which was stuffed with vegetables.
"Not yet." Tongyuan was surprised, this is too enthusiastic.
"What's it called, I'll give it to you to eat, if it's delicious, I'll buy it next time."
Doctor Ji smiled, and he didn't see it, and asked Tongyuan to take it.
"My lord, that's them."
Master Guo put his hands behind his back, and the civilian clothes he wore today, many people in Mengtang Town didn't know him well.
"What are you squeezing! I don't know if it's first and then it's coming! Lined up in the back. ”
The subordinates around Master Guo were unhappy, how could they treat them like this.
"Alas! Don't worry, just take a look, don't disturb everyone. Master Guo took a look at the vegetable stall.
Recently, he heard that there was a family in the market that was selling a large number of vegetables, and the large amount of vegetables produced was delicious, and it was very popular with the people.
Let's take a look at it today, it's really popular.
Wang Yongye's eyes were sharp, and he saw Master Guo in the crowd at a glance, and touched his daughter-in-law with his elbow.
"Is that Lord Guo?"
Fang Cuiying followed the line of sight, isn't this Lord Guo, who came for a private visit.
The Wang family should be vigilant, they shouldn't have done anything.
Father Wang handed over the scale in his hand to his son and walked to Lord Guo's side.
Several people tacitly walked to the side and stood under a tree.
"I wonder what happened to you here?"
Lord Guo looked at the hot trade and said with a smile: "I heard that there are people in the market who sell a large number of seasonal vegetables, and this is not yet the season, how do you grow these melons and vegetables." ”
Daddy Wang invited someone to sit on the stone pier, which is a long story.
"I see, where is the Penglai immortal who sold seeds now?"
Father Wang explained that this kind of immortal travels around, and it is also a blessing for his family to have an opportunity to see him.
Lord Guo was skeptical, there really was such an immortal in the world, and he was not a person from the Heavenly Kingdom.
Tianlin is a powerful country, with developed agriculture and irrigation, and a lot of grain is grown every year, and the country is strong, maybe the people of their country come out with seeds to sell.
The two talked about homely things, and began to talk about national affairs as they talked.
Master Guo has been in officialdom for a long time and knows the inside of Daqi very well.
The situation in the DPRK and China is complicated, several princes are vying for power, and the current emperor is old and frail, and the former close ministers are gradually hollowed out of their rights.
Most of the minor officials in these places are far away from the emperor, and as long as they don't make big mistakes, it is easy to get back to the fields.
He hasn't done anything in his life, and he doesn't know if he will survive to get the dynasty to change.
Father Wang inquired about the military and the situation at the border gates.
Lord Guo shook his head, as if he had found an old friend, the situation at the border was tense, and the neighboring countries seemed to be silent, so he wanted to do big things with his head down.
The two tacitly agreed that when they were waiting for the autumn harvest, the fox would always show its tail.
"Dad, what is Master Guo looking for us to do?"
Daddy Wang only said that he was nothing, and he cared about people's livelihood.
"This little lady, where are you going to transport these dishes, I will carry you."
Several boatmen have solicited passengers, and the bamboo poles in their hands are propped up in the water, and his boats are larger and usually used to move goods.
"Let's transport the vegetables to Lanyi Town, you see if your ship can be loaded."
"Huh! My ship is too big to fit anywhere, so I'll move it for you. ”
"Wait a minute, how much?"
"You just look at it, we are all people who live on the water, and we are all rooted here, sincerely."
After negotiating the price, the ship's wife came out of the boat's shed and brought the vegetables onto the boat.
"You're a great food."
Fang Cuiying smiled, everyone who had seen their dishes said so.
There are five baskets of vegetables in total, and cucumbers are the most numerous and heavy.
As soon as the goods are on board, the ship will have half a draft.
Fang's mother and daughter said goodbye at the pier, and watched the boat gradually descending the water, and the two returned to their stalls.
"Sold out so quickly!"
Liu Chunlan straightened her waist, her waist was sore and painful, and she bent all morning.
"It's very fast, more people than a few days ago, I don't think our family has enough to sell."
"Wang's family, do you buy cattle or not?"
While a few people were closing the stall, an old man stepped forward.
"Don't your cattle still have to be farmed?"
They asked last time, but unfortunately Old Man Chen was unwilling to live or die, so how could he agree now.
Old man Chen complained of his suffering, his son broke his leg while working, and the family was in a hurry to use the money.
Some relatives beat him up on the idea of cattle and wanted to buy them at a low price.
This is not to take advantage of the fire to rob, thinking about his cow wants to go crazy.
He was willing to sell the cattle to the Wang family, and they gave a lot of money, which could solve the urgent need.
Old man Chen was leading a cow behind him, with gray-black skin, thick and flat horns, short ears twitching and tails flicking to repel mosquitoes.
Father Wang stretched out his hand and touched the cow, this cow has more than 600 catties, and the hooves are big and hard.
"This cow is only seven or eight years old, and it is the time when the labor is good, so it will not be a problem to raise it well and work for more than ten years."
"Daddy, this buffalo is strong." Wang Yongan couldn't put it down.
"It's still the same, your cow is good, ten taels of silver."
Old man Chen pursed his lips, the price is already very high, but unfortunately this is an old guy who has been with him for many years.
"Uncle Chen, this price is already very high, we definitely didn't treat you badly, you should know this in your heart."
Old man Chen nodded, he was embarrassed to ask him more, you must know that his relatives only wanted to buy his cattle for five taels of silver.
"We don't have so much money on us, and if you wait to get it, you won't lose a penny."
"Your son broke his leg, you can find Dr. Ji from the Spring Hall to see, his medical skills are good!"
Old man Chen nodded, they had already gone to see it, and the doctor said that it would take a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones, and if you don't take care of it well, you will either be crippled or paralyzed for the rest of your life.
At home, it is the busy season of farming, and one less person, one less cow, will be many times harder.
"This is ten taels of silver, you take it, we have to go to the yamen to write a book on the sale of livestock."
Cattle are an important labor resource, and they are registered in the government, and they are not allowed to be bought and slaughtered at will.
In the Daqi Agricultural Law, it is illegal to slaughter cattle, and if the circumstances are serious, you will be arrested and imprisoned.
Old man Chen patted the cow's head, reluctantly, chattering in the cow's ear.
Oh his old fellow! You will have a new home in the future, and I hope the new owner will treat you well.
Wang Yongan led the cow, the cow had a gentle temperament and big eyes were warm and moist, and went to his new home.
"Let's call this cow Da Hei in the future, you see how strong he is gray and gray."
"We'll have cattle in the future."
Wang Yongan thought that he would go home and make a pull board for Da Hei, so that he could pull vegetables in the future.
