The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 143

A mule is a hybrid between a horse and a donkey.The hybrid born of a male donkey and a female horse is called a mule, or mule for short.The hybrid of a male horse and a female donkey is a mule.

Mules and donkey mules have almost no reproductive ability, but they have strong vitality and disease resistance, high feed utilization rate, strong physique, strong limbs and hooves, strong endurance, easy to control, and the service life can be as long as 20 to 30 years. The service value is higher than that of horses and donkeys.

The quantity of mules is relatively small, and there are not many mules on the market, and the price is more expensive than cattle and donkeys.

"I've never seen a mule plowing the land, can it really work?" Ning Zhongping was deeply puzzled after hearing Su Yunduo's proposal.

"Give it a try." Although there was such a piece of news in his memory, Su Yunduo was not absolutely sure whether the mules in this world could be used to cultivate the land, so he could only deal with Ning Zhongping vaguely.

Ning Zhongping was not ambiguous, as soon as the bull market opened on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, he bought two mules that had just grown up for Su Yunduo. They were the kind of mules born from a jackass and a female horse, that is, real mules.

The two mules are both strong in physique, with strong limbs and hooves, and they are the kind with great stamina at first glance, and their personalities are much more docile than horses, so they are easier to control.

"Why do you think of buying a mule? Shouldn't you buy a cow?" Seeing that there were two more mules in the Su family's yard, the folks in the village naturally had a lot of discussions, and Su Chengzhi, who had already become a teacher in the village school, was also very puzzled.

Su Yunduo glanced at Ning Zhongping, hoping that Ning Zhongping would come out and explain something to Su Chengzhi, but Ning Zhongping pretended not to hear Su Chengzhi's question, and only protected the excited Su Zechen while riding a mule.

Su Yunduo had no choice but to explain to Su Chengzhi himself.

Although there is a bull market in the county, it is difficult to buy suitable cattle in the bull market. Su Chengzhi knows something about this, but if you can't buy cattle for the time being, you can take it easy. It's not that there are no cattle in the village.

Who can a mule plow the land to deceive?He is not the kind of pedantic scholar who does not listen to the outside world and only reads sage books. Anyway, he has to go to the fields every year during the busy farming season. When has he ever seen a mule plowing the land? !
Seeing that Su Chengzhi frowned so much that he could catch flies, the helpless Su Yunduo could only use the old doctor to prevaricate again: "The old genius doctor and his disciples and grandchildren always need a car for transportation. Dad, look, how many mules are there?" robust!"

Listening to Su Yunduo's tone, this is a mule prepared for the old genius doctor. Su Chengzhi forgot that the old doctor and his party came from the capital, and it is impossible to come here on foot without a car, so Su Yunduo vaguely explained it. past.

It's just that he doesn't believe that mules can still plow the land, so he calls Ning Zhongping aside to tell him not to mess around with Su Yunduo, thinking that every time a mule comes out, it's a waste of money.

After hearing this, Ning Zhongping nodded repeatedly and did not refute. To be honest, he also felt that Su Yunduo was whimsical about using mules to plow the land, but these two mules are indeed very good, and he is really reluctant to let him take them to sell. .

"Brother-in-law, I think it's better to keep these two mules. You have to go to Fucheng for an exam next month. It's much more convenient to have a mule cart!" Ning Zhongping said with a smile.

"You don't need to drive your own car to go to the exam. You can just go to the county seat and take a car to Fucheng." It's just to go to Fucheng for an exam. Su Chengzhi feels that there is no need to make such a big battle, and it's not the first time for him to go to Fucheng for an exam. , besides, there are three bookboys in the village going together this time.

Su Chengzhi forgot, however, that he had to prepare a car to go there with him just because there were three other scholars.

However, there is still more than a month before the government test, even if you go to the city ahead of time, there is still some time, so let's slowly convince Su Chengzhi, Ning Zhongping already knew Su Yunduo's plan.

Su Yunduo was going to ask Ning Zhongping to send Su Chengzhi and the others to Fucheng. Firstly, it would be better to arrange the time to drive by himself, and secondly, Ning Zhongping would go with him. If there is anything, it would be good to have someone to discuss with.

Ning Zhongping very much agreed with Su Yunduo's arrangement, but Su Chengzhi always opposed it.

Of course, Ning Zhongping decided to personally send Su Chengzhi to Fucheng, which is naturally another important reason, but the news has not yet been finalized, and it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being. Of course, Ning Zhongping, who should arrange it, is making arrangements in private to ensure that Su Chengzhi's trip to Fucheng is safe and sound. Yu.

The county government office in Xiushui County only opens on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month every year. As soon as the office opened, Ning Zhongping received an application to buy the valley near Geshan Village. The county magistrate has already learned from Master Yan who is behind Ning Zhongping, so he is naturally happy in every possible way. , that person has the dual backgrounds of Miracle Doctor Valley and Zhen Guogong Mansion.

It didn't take much time for the land deed of the valley to be completed. One handed over the silver and the other handed over the land deed. Looking at the word Kong Fan on the land deed, Su Yunduo couldn't help but smile, slightly relieved, and finally lived up to the old doctor's trust.

After the valley is in hand, the next step is to reveal to Liu Donglin that the old doctor will come to settle in Geshan Village.

Su Chengzhi wanted to reveal this news to Liu Donglin a long time ago, but Ning Zhongping told him not to be impatient, and forced him to endure it for half a month. Now that the valley is under the old doctor's name, and the valley has been assigned to the boundary of Geshan Village as he wished, then It was a foregone conclusion for the old doctor to settle in Geshan Village, and it was time to greet Liu Donglin and explain the situation.

Liu Donglin was overjoyed after hearing the news.

He thought that there was Liu Dongting, a barefoot doctor, and Su Yunduo, who knew a little about medicine, in the village. Geshan Village was already very outstanding among ten miles and eight townships. He didn't expect Geshan Village to have such a great fortune that it could attract an old genius doctor to settle down. .

"It's all thanks to girl Yunduo. If it wasn't for girl Yunduo who wanted to grow medicinal herbs, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to attract the old genius doctor to settle in Geshan Village." Liu Donglin was so excited that he praised Su Yunduo to Su Chengzhi , Su Chengzhi shook his head in shock.

Although he also thought so in his heart, he always felt that it would be better for Su Yunduo to keep a low profile.

Because of the hot spring in the mountain depression, Su Yunduo can grow fresh vegetables in winter without using a greenhouse. Su Yunduo was already very jealous in the village, and if Liu Donglin's words spread, I'm afraid it would do nothing to Su Yunduo benefit.

Mu Xiuyu was bound to be destroyed by Lin Feng, and when he was not sure that he could protect Su Yunduo, Su Chengzhi felt that it was better for Su Yunduo to keep a low profile.

From this point of view, he still has to work harder, not only to take the autumn rural examination, but also to go to the capital to take the general examination, in order to get high school and give his family a strong umbrella.

Although Su Chengzhi's thoughts are a bit naive, compared to the previous Su Chengzhi, he has made great progress. Su Yunduo said that she is willing to wait and see, and push Su Chengzhi from behind to become stronger little by little.

"By the way, when are you going to go to Yanshan Fucheng?" Liu Donglin's family has a scholar Liu Yushu who is going to take the college examination. He naturally hopes that Su Chengzhi can take a few scholars to Fucheng with him. I still hope to go with Su Chengzhi, and it is best to live together after we are in Fucheng.
