My village can't be like this

Chapter 234 Saddle
"Old turtle? Why do I feel that that thing is useless?"

When it comes to this stuff, everyone's first impression will be that it is a great tonic, but Dante has eaten a lot during this time.

Ever since they came back from the hospital, Li Li greeted him with all her heart.

It was okay at the beginning, and it felt the same after a few more times.

Ding Yi felt a little bit of those so-called dryness and heat after eating, but not much.

In the end, I could only shake my head. This thing may have some effect, but it's not that powerful.

Everyone said it is so amazing, it is probably caused by you and me.

"Whether it works or not, let's try it first. What if this thing is different from mountains and rivers, right?"

Originally, Zhang An thought that when Ding Yi came over, he would cook him a meal to make up for it.

However, a lot of people came to Zhang An's house in recent days, so Zhang An didn't add unnecessary trouble to the family.

When they woke up the next morning, Ding Yi and Li Li had to rush back to the city.

Zhang An quietly handed Ding Yi the velvet antler wine and the two turtles prepared last night.

This is what he said to Zhang An last night. If other people find out that he has a problem, then he will be ashamed to come back again.

"No, you didn't say that this old turtle is so big."

Seeing the two old turtles that were as big as small soup bowls, Ding Yi's eyes widened.

At home before, the wild turtle Li Li bought was about the size of a big bowl.

The two that Zhang An brought over now look too exaggerated.

"I don't want to talk about it anymore. My buddy will never treat you badly. Go back and try it out. Remember to tell me if it works."

These two old turtles have always lived carefree in the space.

The back, which was still a little yellow, has now begun to turn green.

Even those claws started to turn black, but they grew up a lot.

Seeing that Wang Fang and Su Ying in the room were about to come out with Li Li, Ding Yi immediately put the treasure Zhang An gave him in the car.

After Li Li got into the car, Ding Yi gave Zhang An a look before getting up and heading back.

After sending Ding Yi and the others away, Zhang An's family returned to normal.

In the first few days when she came here, Su Ying was really not used to it, after all, she suddenly changed her home.

Fortunately, Li Li and the others are here, so there are not many unaccustomed things.

And after these few days of getting along, Su Ying has slowly adapted to this place.

Anyway, in a short time, this is her other home, so she should come here early to get used to it.

And in the following period of time, even though she would live in the school, Wang Fang said that she still had to come back to eat after school every day.

Although the school's dormitory can cook, Wang Fang is reluctant to let Su Ying go back to cook after class.

"Xiao An, after you have dinner later, take Yingying to your second grandma's."

During the meal, Wang Fang talked to Zhang An.

"Yeah, okay Mom, let's go there later."

After hearing what his mother said, Zhang An immediately agreed, and there was no need to think about this matter.

Because Zhang An's grandma is gone, Zhang's second grandma has always been the same as Zhang An's own grandma.

In this family, Second Master Zhang and Fourth Master Zhang had already met Su Ying when they went to get engaged last time.

So in this family, only Grandma Zhang has not seen what Su Ying looks like.

In terms of emotion and reason, Zhang An should take Su Ying to show Grandma Zhang.

"Let's go, let's go."

After eating lunch for a while, Zhang An was going to take Su Ying to Grandma Zhang's place.

"Why don't you wait for me to change clothes and comb your hair before going."

Su Ying felt that going to see Grandma Zhang was a very formal matter, so she had to prepare.

But after half a day, she changed several clothes and felt that they were not suitable.

"Enough is enough, you don't need to change any more, this outfit on you is very suitable."

If she keeps quiet, Zhang An is worried that she won't be able to change her clothes all afternoon.

"You are already good-looking. No matter what clothes you change, you look the same. Let's go."

Zhang An didn't care whether she agreed or not, he just dragged her downstairs.

"Zhang An, you said we're going to see grandma, what should we pay attention to?"

Su Ying was a little nervous at the moment, she was never like this when she came to see Wang Fang.

If it is true, this feeling is the feeling of seeing parents.

"You don't need to pay attention to anything, just your usual habits. Second Mistress is very satisfied with you."

Although the old lady had never met Su Ying, she had already heard about it from the old man and several nephews and wives.

The old lady should not be too satisfied with Zhang An being able to find such a daughter-in-law.

When we arrived at the second old man's house, the old lady was drying the green beans picked from the field in the yard.

"Grandma, the sun is so big, you don't want to turn it over, it can be dried in the sun."

There is a thin layer of green beans drying on the ground, and the sun is so strong at noon that they can be dried without turning over.

However, the elderly may want to dry it out earlier, so they turn it over frequently.

There is no harm in doing so, but people will suffer more.

"It's okay, I just pick it up casually, this is Xiaoying."

Looking at Su Ying next to Zhang An, Grandma Zhang guessed it right away.

Su Ying must be the only girl who can be brought over by her grandson.

"That's right, this is Xiaoying. I'll bring her over to see you today."

"Grandma, I'm Xiaoying."

As he said that, Zhang An helped the old lady to hide under the eaves.

"Eh, okay, okay."

At this time, Zhang Erye in the room heard Zhang An coming, and came out with a teacup.

In this way, the whole family talked happily in the yard.

It can be seen that the old lady is very happy that Su Ying came today.

Especially when she heard that Su Ying would take classes in the middle school in the village, the old lady was even more satisfied.

Because in the hearts of the older generation, teachers are a very good profession, which is very admirable.

So in the future, there will be a teacher in the family, and people of their age will feel very honored.

Moreover, Zhang An also told the old lady that Zhang Tie, Zhang Xing, and Zhang Yu from Uncle Jianzhong's family will all be in Su Ying's class.

Now the old lady is even happier, her own family teaches her own family, so why not teach her better.

Their generation has suffered from being uneducated. The children in the family used to come back from school.

They can only control whether the homework is written or not, but how well it is written, right, they really can't supervise.

But now it's all right, the family's grandchildren are all in Su Ying's class.

In the future, when the few of them go to study, they won't be afraid of dawdling in school.

During the period, the old lady asked Su Ying some questions, and Su Ying answered them one by one.

After chatting for a long time, the old lady took the initiative to ask the two children to go back.

It's not that the elderly don't want them to stay here longer, it's just that it's boring for the two children to accompany them all the time.

In the hearts of the elderly, it is enough to come and take a look from time to time.

The two came out of Zhang An's second grandfather's house and saw Huang Guoping in the village leading a horse.

And right away, a tourist came down and was happily counting the money and handing it to him.

"Hey, Uncle Guoping, are you starting a new business?"

After the tourists left, Zhang An went up to talk.

"Hehe, I was thinking that those kayaks could be rented out. Some people would be willing to ride our pack horses, so I took them out and tried it. I didn't expect that there would be people willing to spend money to ride them."

Huang Guoping smiled at Zhang An, and then took out a bag of corn from the basket on his back.

He wanted to take advantage of this time to quickly feed the pack horses at home.

Now it may be making money, so it cannot be left hungry.

"Indeed, people in the city are rare for these tricks. How is the business?"

Don't underestimate this horse riding, even if it is a villager, most of the children have never ridden it.

After all, not everyone has a horse, let alone those tourists from the city.

Moreover, these pack horses in the village are docile and very suitable for riding.

"The business is not bad. People have been coming since morning. It is estimated that they are going to eat now, so they have time to rest and feed the horses."

When talking about this, the smile on Huang Guoping's face became brighter.

"Hey, Uncle Guoping, where did you buy this saddle?"

Zhang An looked at the saddles on the backs of his horses, which were not the wooden saddles usually used for carrying goods.

It is a harness specially used for riding, and all the cushions and stirrups are used.

Although they are all saddles, the ones that carry goods are not the same as those that are ridden by people.

The saddles for the load are all made of wood for the stability of the horse frame.

Although such a saddle can also be ridden, it is very tight on the buttocks.

Especially when the horse runs, it can blow your ass upside down, which is a big crime.

And this pair of saddles specially used for riding not only have thick cushions, but also stirrups for riding.

If you put it on when riding a horse, your butt won't have to suffer.

"This saddle, I asked Carpenter Lin to help me make it."

"What, Uncle Carpenter can do this job?"

Zhang An thought Huang Guoping bought it on the street, but he didn't expect it to be made by Carpenter Lin.

"Haha, Carpenter Lin knows a lot of things. I heard that you are learning crafts from him. You should work hard and make him a big boss."

Many people in the village know that Zhang An learned carpentry from Carpenter Lin.

The craftsmanship of forest carpenters is among the best among the carpenters in the nearby ten miles and eight townships.

It's just that he is a person, if you ask him to work, you will pay as much as you say, and he will not give you a penny less.

But in terms of quality, he will not mess with others, and will definitely do his best for you.

So over time, everyone called him the big boss.

But even though everyone shouted like this, there were quite a few people looking for him to work.

Zhang An was chatting with Huang Guoping when an adult brought a child to ride a horse.

They are asking Huang Guoping if this horse can ride an adult and a child.

Of course it can, just give me some money.

When the horses in the village carry crops on weekdays, they can carry hundreds of catties no matter what.

This adult plus a child doesn't weigh much at all, and it doesn't take much effort for a horse to carry it.

Soon, within three to two minutes, Huang Guoping negotiated the price with the father and son.

And Zhang An didn't continue chatting with him, after all, he couldn't delay his business.

In the afternoon, Zhang An went directly to Carpenter Lin.

Because now he also wants to make a saddle for the big black horse at home.

When his family first bought a big black horse, he had this idea.

But then I didn't ride a horse very much, so I didn't go to the street to look for it.

Besides, finding Carpenter Lin to make a saddle is just a matter of visiting the door.

"Uncle Carpenter, I heard that you always know how to make saddles?"

After entering the yard, Zhang An smiled and talked to Carpenter Li.

Now Carpenter Lin is considered his master, and he is not at all embarrassed to order him around.

"Is there any need to ask? Isn't it me who made your family's face?"

Before Zhang saw that when he came back from buying a big black horse, he bought the saddle for 50 yuan.

It's much better than the one that sold horses, and I still want 100 yuan for a pair of rotten saddles.

"Not the kind of saddle I mean for riding, not the saddle for the pack-horse."

"Oh, this one, do you want to make a payment too? Haven't done it for several years."

This kind of saddle can only be used for riding on weekdays, and has no other functions, so fewer people make it.

Unlike the wooden saddles for pack horses, every family with pack horses needs to make them, after all, they will be used for carrying goods throughout the year.

"Yeah, I want to make a pair for Dahei at home, and if you practice your hand first, many people will come to you to do it in a few days."

Zhang An wants to make a saddle, not because he wants to lead a horse to make money like everyone else.

Just now Su Ying looked at the girl who got off Huang Guoping's horse with envy in her eyes.

Su Ying is also a girl from the city, and she must have never ridden a horse before.

So after seeing other people riding horses, I must have an idea in my heart that I want to try it.

Although she didn't say it, Zhang An could tell that he happened to have a horse at home, so he just needed to make a pair of saddles.

"Oh? What's going on here?"

When Carpenter Lin heard Zhang An's words, he became serious.

If someone asked him to make this saddle, it would be a lot of money.

After all, this kind of saddle is more expensive to make than the wooden saddle.

"Hey, I saw Uncle Guoping bring out the family's horses for people to ride today. He's making a lot of money."

Hearing what Zhang An said, Carpenter Lin understood.

For such a profitable thing, if there is one, there must be two.

The other horse-owning families in the village, watching Huang Guoping earn this money, will definitely follow suit.

At that time, people who don't have saddles will have to come to him to do work.

"Then you don't need to do it. I made a pair before, and it's useless to keep it. You go and bring the horse and I will change the size."

Carpenter Lin didn't say anything, but went back to the house and brought out a pair of saddles.

Although the saddle was covered with a sackcloth bag, it was still covered with a lot of dust.

But even though it was covered by dust, Zhang An could still tell that this pair of saddles had just been placed for a long time and had not been used.

"Then thank you, Uncle Carpenter."

Zhang An was very happy, and originally thought to wait for a while.

Although he doesn't know how to make a saddle, the process of a saddle is not simple.

Even a wooden saddle with a simple structure like this will inevitably take a week or so.
