Tao Zhu's field is next to the woods.

At this time, Tao Zhu was bending down and wielding a sickle to cut wheat.

Beads of sweat soaked through his clothes and ran down his cheeks.

He wore a sweat towel made of burlap around his neck, and wiped his sweat from time to time.

Behind him, the cut wheat was neatly arranged.

But in front of him there were more than seven acres of wheat.

Li Qiao saw Tao Zhu's figure from a distance, and he walked over quickly.

Tao Zhu sweated a lot, and he was very tired after bending over for a long time, so he straightened up, planning to drink saliva and rest.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Li Qiao walking towards him at a glance.

“！”

Tao Zhu's eyes opened again, why is this person here?

"Brother Zhu!"

Li Qiao quickly walked up to Tao Zhu and greeted him with a smile.

“…… What are you doing here? ”

Tao Zhu asked with a slight twist of eyebrows.

"Looking at the wasteland, I can't afford to buy fertile land, and if I want to grow crops, I can only open up the wasteland first."

"Then you can look at it." Tao Zhu took the sickle and walked towards the cart, on which the pot he used to hold water was placed.

"I have something to ask you."

Li Qiao naturally followed: "How much wheat can be harvested in an acre of land in the fields here?" How do you usually irrigate? How weedy? ”

“…… There are trees competing for the fertility of the land, and the yield per mu is not high, and one mu of land can only beat 100 catties of wheat. For irrigation, you can fetch water from the river, which is quite close to the river. ”

"There's a lot of weeds."

Tao Zhu answered very quickly, but he was only limited to answering questions, and he didn't say a word next to him.

"Thank you for your doubts, in order to thank you, I have a clay pot of fish soup here for you to drink."

Li Qiao put down the basket and took out the fish soup from it.

Tao Zhu: "......"

He looked at Li Qiao with wide eyes, this one was too sudden.

How did it seem like he was specially given fish soup......

"Drink it." Li Qiao directly stuffed the clay pot into his arms: "I said last night that I want to send you fish when no one is around." ”

"I originally wanted to send my own stewed fish soup, but my cooking skills are poor, and it just so happened that my sister-in-law asked Xiaolan to send fish soup, so I left the fish soup made by my sister-in-law to you."

"Don't refuse, pull and pull, if someone sees it, then we have to get married."

Tao Zhu was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Nonsense again!

"There's no one around here, and the nearest Uncle Zhu's wheat field is a mile away." He glared at Li Qiao and said.

"Since no one saw it, what about you drinking this fish soup? You saved me, can't you still drink my bowl of fish soup? ”

"Not only am I going to send you fish soup today, but I will also send you chicken soup in the future."

"I value my little life, you saved it, so I should repay you no matter how I do."

Tao Zhu: "......"

This man's words are set in a set, and he can't say it.

But this man is there to repay the favor......

Pursing his lips, he took the clay pot, even if he repaid the favor, then he would not be able to drink this fish soup!

Also, an older ugly brother like him, and such a brother and sister-in-law at home, how can Li Qiao have other thoughts besides repaying his kindness.

Thinking like this, he suppressed the loss in his heart and lifted the lid of the clay pot.

The fish soup was already cold, but there was sesame oil floating on it, and most of the clay pot was full of fish, which was much more tempting than the wild vegetable nest he ate at noon.

"Chopsticks." Li Qiao took out a pair of chopsticks from the back basket.

Tao Zhu took the chopsticks, sat on the cart, chewed and ate slowly, and there was no more awkwardness before.

Seeing this, Li Qiao smiled with satisfaction, and then picked up the sickle: "You eat, I'll cut the wheat." ”

"Huh?" Tao Zhu was startled and wanted to get up.

"The fish soup has been delivered, so it's time to do some work." Li Qian explained.

Tao Zhu: "......"

Forget it, if this person wants to repay the favor, he can repay it.

So, Li Qiao picked up the sickle and went to cut the wheat.

Tao Zhu looked at him and couldn't help but be surprised to see that he was swinging the sickle at a much faster speed than himself.

This man is a scholar, where did he get so much strength?

Thinking like this, Tao Zhu held the clay pot and slowly approached Li Qiao.

Li Qiao noticed his entrance, and while continuing to cut wheat, he said: "I sold fish smoothly today, and as soon as I arrived under the willow tree, Aunt Embroidery and Aunt Dani ......."

Li Qiao told the story of selling fish.

Tao Zhu stood aside with a clay pot, eating fish and meat while listening.

It wasn't until Li Qiao finished speaking that he said, "What are you talking to me about?" ”

"I'll talk about it casually, you can listen to it casually, otherwise how embarrassing is it to just stand?"

Li Qian replied with a grin.

Seeing that Tao Zhu was silent, he said again: "Everyone who sells fish today is exchanged for wheat, and I don't earn copper plates, so I plan to go to the county seat tomorrow to sell fish." ”

"Back and forth, it's getting dark, and I can't come to you tomorrow."

“…… Oh. ”

Tao Zhu clenched his chopsticks.

Li Qiao caught a glimpse of his movements with her peripheral vision, and swung her scythe faster.

He can actually see Tao Zhu's slight emotional change, he naturally likes men, in his previous life, he was an orphan, he was busy with work-study when he was in school, and he didn't have the heart to fall in love.

I finally graduated, but the end times came.

In the last days, the bottom line of human nature and morality is infinitely lowered, and it is a bit difficult to find someone you like.

So until his death, he was single.

But he fell in love with Tao Zhu at first sight, and through these three contacts, he also liked Tao Zhu's character.

But now he not only has no money, but also owes dozens of taels of gambling debts, as a man, how can he let the person he likes enter the house like this.

Even if he wants to confess, he can't just confess with a few fish, in his current situation of being poor and white, he doesn't want to paint a big cake for Tao Zhu.

He wanted to take the real flatbread to Tao Zhu to confess.

Besides, even if Tao Zhu doesn't matter, then there is still the Tao family.

Tao Zhu is the only labor of the Tao family, and the Tao family will not easily marry Tao Zhu to him.

So, he had to make money quickly.

The author has something to say:

Li Qiao: Roll up your sleeves and make money!

Chapter 06 I'm Tired of Making Money

Li Qiao helped Tao Zhu cut an acre of wheat, and Tao Zhu refused to let him continue to cut.

Thinking that there was not much dry firewood left at home, he said goodbye to Taozhu and went up the mountain to collect firewood.

The mountain next to Sanliu Village, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, is the activity area of the villagers, and there is very little prey.

If you want to hunt, you have to go deep into the mountains. But if you go deep into the mountains, you can't come back in one day, so you have to spend the night in the mountains.

Li Qiao has no interest in sleeping in the open for the time being, so instead of spending time in the mountains, it is better to sell fish in a down-to-earth manner.

After collecting firewood on the mountain and returning home, the sun had set, and he carried a few fish to Li Liang's house.

Li Liang's family has two board cars, and he wants to rent one so that he can go to the county seat tomorrow to sell fish.

He is so motivated, and he is still rented, Wang Guihua can't find any mistakes. Li Liang also lent him two large buckets and scales, and supported his great business of selling fish.

With these two big buckets, Li Qiao was full of energy, and got up at half past eleven in the middle of the night to catch fish by the river.

In a hurry, he directly used his ability this time, filling four buckets and a back basket in less than half an hour.

Tie the bucket basket firmly to the cart with hemp rope, and he pushed the cart towards the county seat in the cool night breeze.

After walking for two hours, he nibbled on two big steamed buns in the middle, and when the sky was bright, he finally came to the county seat.

The county seat is called Pingcheng, and when you go to the city to sell things, you need to pay a penny of commercial tax.

Most of the countrymen are reluctant to pay this penny, so they set up stalls in the open space next to the county gate, they bring the freshest vegetables, and the price is sometimes lower than that in the county, so some merchants and people in the county love to come here to buy.

The county magistrate turned a blind eye to this, so the county gate was very lively every morning, like a market.

Li Qiao was penniless, so he could only set up a stall here, he came a little late, and the good position was already occupied.

He could only park the cart in the corner.
