Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 280 Chapter 270 Nine: Buying a Mule Cart

Song Qiu's addition of people this time is for the empty farm.

Don't take care of the fields, but someone needs to take care of the farm.

There must be a manager in charge of the farm, who must be able to read and write, and always keep an account for the chores of the farm.

In addition, there are two people who can work, take care of the hills, feed some chickens and ducks, and the lotus pond. She plans to clear it and change it into a fish pond to feed the fish. The supply of fish will actually be better than that in the Songshan River. It is easier to salvage.

Then there are these three people, at least there must be a cook who can cook, right?
Song Qiu had already made up his mind, so he immediately told Mrs. Zeng about the request.

Mrs. Zeng has dealt with her twice, and she knows what kind of person she wants, so she must do things in a down-to-earth manner.

Fortunately, none of the people in her hands are so stealthy and tricky.

Soon, Mrs. Zeng picked more than a dozen people to bring in, and asked Song Qiu to choose them.

Song Qiu looked around and finally picked out four people.

Among them was a middle-aged couple, the man's surname was Lin and his name was Desheng, and the woman's maiden name was Ma.

I used to run a small business by myself, but suddenly my youngest son fell ill, and spent all my savings to become a shop and house, and went to many places to seek medical treatment. In the end, he was still not cured, so he just disappeared.

The couple were overly sad and disheartened, so they sold themselves to arrange the funeral for their youngest son.

Lin Desheng can read and write for those who have done business, and it is no problem for Ma to cook.

Song Qiu observed the two of them carefully, asked some more questions, and finally settled on them.

The other two, one named Wang Guizhuang, was about 40 years old, his hands were full of calluses, and he was used to doing farm work. He was also a farmer. Unfortunately, his hometown was hit by a disaster, and none of his relatives were left. They were displaced into Jingzhou Mansion. In the end, I had no choice but to sell myself.

There is another 30-year-old man named Tian Ping, who used to be a gardener in a rich family, serving flowers and plants, honest and skillful.

Song Qiu picked out these four people, looked at them again and again, and was quite satisfied.

Mrs. Zeng saw that she was taking care of the business of the four of them all at once again. After all, she bought a lot from her. She believed that this would not be the last time.

Therefore, she was happy to make friends, and she didn't charge too much for the four adults who could do things. She only charged 20 taels of silver.

Song Qiu happily gave the money, and with the four new additions, Du Chuanfu went straight to the livestock market.

The last time I bought a mule cart at this livestock market, Wu Jin brought it here, but she came here once, so she was familiar with it.

This time Du Chuanfu was with him, and the newly bought Wang Guizhuang had mules in his family. He knew how to look after mules, so Song Qiu didn't worry.

Let them see it with their own eyes, and she just needs to pay the money if she looks good.

Wang Guizhuang didn't talk much, so he asked mules to meet mules, and looked at them very seriously. As soon as he entered the market, he focused his attention on those places that exclusively sold mules.

Song Qiu originally wanted to buy a carriage, but a horse cost more than a dozen taels of silver at worst, and with a matching carriage, the price was not small.

There are not many good horses in this livestock market. When I came back to see it, Wu Jin told her about it.

If you want to buy a horse, it is better to go to the county seat.

Think about adding mules first, and then think about the carriage.

Wang Guizhuang looked very carefully, and overestimated several mule sellers, and finally pointed to a mule and said: "Girl, this mule is not bad, very strong, it looks just right for its age, and it has stamina. It can be used to pull carts at least It can be used for more than [-] years!" It is worth buying!

Song Qiu heard this, and immediately asked the mule seller for the price.

The seller boasted a lot about his mules, and also praised Song Qiu's foresight. Then he compared them and said, "Four liang of silver is the same price!"

Song Qiu heard that last time her Xiao Hei was only three and a half taels of silver. This mule looked similar to her Xiao Hei, so it cost more than half a tael?
He immediately shook his head and made a gesture to go to another stall.

The seller looked at it and hurriedly shouted: "Hey! Girl, we can negotiate the price, don't leave!"

Song Qiu paused and looked at him: "Uncle, let me tell you a sincere price. If you sell it sincerely, I will buy it sincerely."

The seller saw that although she was a little girl, she was followed by five adults. Although the adults didn't speak, let her be a little girl.

After thinking about it, I made an expression that I sold it at a loss, "Forget it, for the sake of your sincerity, girl, I'll give you a cheaper price, three or nine dollars!"

"Three and two halves!" Song Qiu said.

"Two and a half? Then I will lose a lot!" the seller called out.

"I'll buy it in twos and a half, and if it's too much, I'll look at other stores. Anyway, it's not bad for you." Song Qiu said.

The seller gritted his teeth, as if he had lost a lot of money, "The little girl is really good at bargaining! Okay, I am also in a hurry to sell it and go home, otherwise I won't be able to buy it at this price."

Song Qiu didn't believe that he was losing money, so he gave the money and asked Wang Guizhuang to lead the mule, and after leaving the market, he bought a cart at the entrance of the market, where he bought the scooter last time.

With the cart, the mule still has a canopy, which is good for rainy days.

This canopy is not comparable to the carriage, but it is more expensive than the cart, and it costs a hundred dollars.

The mule cart was ready, and the six people sat in two mule carts. Song Qiu went to buy some rice, flour, oil, cloth and cotton, and went home yelling.

As soon as I walked to the trail into Songshan Village, I met Zhang Digua driving a mule cart out of the village, and Zhang Hugua was still sitting on the mule cart.

"Isn't this Uncle Sweet Potato? You're back in the village again today? Hey, there's Uncle Hu Gua, you guys have something to do in town?" She greeted first.

Zhang Digua was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect to run into Song Qiu when he walked out of the village, and he laughed immediately: "I have something to do in the town."

Looking at Song Qiu, Zhang Hugua felt guilty subconsciously, fearing that Song Qiu would think too much, he hurriedly said, "Aqiu, I have asked Aunt Yuan for leave. I won't go to work today, and I'll go tomorrow."

Song Qiu nodded and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, Uncle Hugua, if you have something to do, go and do it."

The mule cart staggered, and Zhang Hugua looked back.

Zhang Digua smiled at him, "It's not a lie, let's just go to the town to listen to a story, and I'll rent a car to take you back in the afternoon."

Zhang Hugua pursed his lips and said nothing.

The mule cart went all the way to the town, and when it arrived at the town, it was almost noon, Zhang Digua didn't delay at all, first took Zhang Hugua to a decent restaurant for lunch, ordered four dishes, one soup, and a jug of wine .

That really took out the posture of a good brother and entertained his younger brother in a serious and considerate manner.

Zhang Hugua is also not polite to him, he eats meat when he has it, drinks wine when he has it, anyway, he is here, don't treat yourself badly.

After lunch, Zhang Digua took Zhang Hugua to the teahouse he mentioned without stopping, and even asked for the private room upstairs, ordered refreshments, and listened to the storytelling downstairs.

Zhang Hugua hadn't been here for a long time, and he was fascinated by the new story told by Mr. Jiang, which he had never heard before.

Zhang Digua didn't make a sound to disturb, but listened closely along with him.

It's getting late, and the storytellers are gone.

Zhang Digua paid the bill and took Zhang Hugua out of the restaurant, "Fourth brother, let me tell you, Mr. Jiang's new story is really interesting, it fascinates me, and I want to hear Minger's follow-up. "

Zhang Hugua was also itchy in his heart.
