After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Chapter 41 The Deer Saddle
Jiang Cheng brought his two younger sisters to his second brother. Seeing that his basket full of water chestnuts was almost sold out, he asked, "You don't need me to stay and help."

"No need." Jiang Quan waved his hand and said proudly, "I can do it by myself."

It was the first time for him to do business alone, and he did it so smoothly. He felt a sense of accomplishment, so he naturally didn't want his elder brother to interfere again.

Jiang Cheng handed a glutinous rice green ball to his younger brother: "This is what Ying Bao left for you."

Jiang Quan was not polite, took it and peeled off the mulberry leaves, bit off half of it, smiled and said to his little cousin: "Brother will buy you a small whistle later."

Cherry Treasure: ...

She doesn't want to whistle.

After returning from the show, Yingbao stood under the apple tree and was lost in thought.

It has been almost two years since the apple trees were planted, and both trees are already one foot tall, but they only grow tall and do not bloom, which makes Yingbao very depressed.

What went wrong?
Why don't we wait for Dad to come back and ask him to invite a knowledgeable person to take a look?
Well, let's ignore it for now, let's talk about it when we move to Nanshan. Now the main thing is to find ways to make more money.

At noon, Jiang Quan came back from selling the water chestnuts, poured the money bag on the table, and counted the money with his elder brother.

"A total of 560 essays, hahahaha, I'm getting rich." Jiang Quan was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, and began to divide the money with his fingers.

"These water chestnuts were found by Ying Bao and Dani Erni, so let's give them three and a half."

Jiang Quan pulled half of the money out.

"Li Dao and Li He also helped pick the water chestnuts wrapped in pu leaves, so let's give each of them twenty... ten Wen."

Jiang Quan swiped out another [-] Wen.

"Give Grandpa and Grandma another fifty cents."

Another fifty pennies were drawn out.

"Give Aniang fifty coins too, and the rest is mine, hahahaha."

Jiang Quan put the remaining 160 Wen into his arms, and laughed.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the eldest brother looking at him with a dark face.

"What about mine?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Your?" Jiang Quan wrinkled his nose, "But you didn't do anything?"

Jiang Cheng: "I counted the money."

Jiang Quan: ...

Regretfully want to hit the wall.

Curling her lips, she managed to count out ten coins from her share and pushed them over, gritted her teeth and said, "Here you are! Count, money, fee!" Humph!

Jiang Quan quickly put his own money into his pocket, and put everything on the table into the purse, then went out to greet Dani, and went to the second uncle and third uncle's house together, looking for Erni Yingbao to share the money.

The 14-year-old Jiang Cheng didn't mind the lack of money, so he picked up the ten coins one by one in the palm of his hand and locked them in the cabinet.

The next day,

Yingbao put a rope around Yoyo's neck, touched its head and said, "Yoyo, I'll take you to the town, you have to be obedient and don't run around."

Yoyo looked at the little master with big watery eyes.

"Don't panic when you see strangers, I'll always be by your side." Ying Bao patted its neck.

Yoyo lowered her head and arched the little master, then tilted her head and rubbed.

Yingbao understood, took out a handful of Wudingzhi and fed it.

When Jiang Sanlang heard that his daughter was going to the town to wear a deer saddle, he immediately dropped everything and wanted to take her there.

"You are a little doll who will be bullied, just take Yoyo with you."

My deer looks mighty, half the height of a person, and the antlers on its head have begun to protrude. It is estimated that it will grow into a ferocious deer fork next year.

Such a big live deer can be worth 30 to [-] taels of silver when sold to the county seat, and many criminals may take risks for such a large sum of money.

Therefore, I must not let my little girl go, even if she is accompanied by her second cousin.

Ying Bao shook her head: "Yo, you will be scared when you go to a crowded place, I will be good if I follow it, Dad, I will go with you."

"That's good." Jiang Sanlang picked up his daughter and prepared to put her into the basket.

"Father, let me ride."

When Yingbao is training Yoyo, she will occasionally ride it for a walk, so as long as Yoyo is not running, she can sit on it steadily.

Jiang Sanlang put his daughter on the deer's back again, and said: "Be careful, don't fall off."

"I won't fall." Yingbao sat firmly on the deer's back, and the old man led the rope to the town.

Walk across the stone arch bridge, pass through Xichen Village, and walk along the dirt road to the official road.

The official road passes through the middle of the town, leading to Qinchuan County at one end and Yuzhou at the other end.

When the father and daughter came to the harness shop, the tall and mighty deer stunned the two shopkeepers instantly.

Even the shopkeeper ran out, amazed, "I've lived to be 50 years old, and it's the first time I've seen such a tall deer. No wonder you want saddles."

Talking to the little guy to come and measure the size.

Yoyo saw a stranger approaching, stepped on his hoof uncomfortably, and hid behind Yingbao.

Yingbao comforted it, then took out a handful of wheat from the small pocket and fed it to its mouth.

Yoyo just calmed down, lowered her head and licked the dozen or so grains of wheat in the palm of the little master.

The boy handed the recorded size to the shopkeeper, and stood beside him curiously looking at the doll and the deer.

The shopkeeper touched the deer's back and said to Jiang Sanlang: "Although your deer is big, its spine is thin and cannot bear weight, so a cowhide saddle is not suitable. How about making a sheepskin saddle?"

Jiang Sanlang nodded: "Okay, this deer is not for adults to ride, only the children of the family occasionally ride it, and please be sure to do it safely."

"No problem." The shopkeeper thought about it, and went to the house to search for materials.

Jiang Sanlang waited for a while and asked, "When will you be able to do it, shopkeeper?"

If it takes too long, he and his daughter will not wait.

The shopkeeper took out a few pieces of leather and threw them on the ground, saying, "I'll cut them now, very quickly, within an hour or two at most."

Jiang Sanlang looked at the sun. It was probably the beginning of the hour, so he could wait.

He sat down on the stool brought by the clerk, while Yingbao looked around.

There were no shops near the saddle shop, only a grass shed not far away, and someone sold pork at a stall under the shed.

The pork was sold out by now, and the butcher and his son were packing up to go home.

Tu Da took off the iron hook hanging on the wooden frame, threw it into the big basket, and put a few knives in it, and then picked up the basket.

His 15-year-old son Tu Xiong didn't want to go back, so he said, "Father, you go back first, I have something to do, so I'll go back later."

Tu Da glared at his son and warned, "Don't run around with your cronies. If you cause any trouble, I will beat you to death."

"What trouble can it cause?" Tu Xiong rubbed his nose, "I went to find Chen Shisan to hunt birds in the mountains, what trouble could I cause?"

Tu Da snorted and left with the burden.

Seeing his father walking away, Tu Xiong smiled, and shouted behind a haystack, "Not coming out yet."

From behind the haystack came out two young men of seventeen or eighteen, one tall and one short, with tendon slingshots pinned to their waists.

"Are we still going to Beishan?" Tu Xiong asked.

The tall thin man had a sharp face, he smiled and said: "Go to Beishan, look over there..." He pouted towards the harness shop.

Tu Xiong turned his head to look, and asked doubtfully, "What are you looking at?"

"Deer." The knife cut his face and said with a smile: "Then you can't see the big deer sticking there?"

"I saw it earlier, what are you doing?"

"Guess?" The knife-shaved face rested on the shoulders of the short, pockmarked companion, his eyes gleaming.

Suddenly, Tu Xiong narrowed his eyes and said with a smirk: "Brother Thirty, don't you have any bad ideas?"
