Villager of Daming

Chapter 317
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, the surface of the lake swayed in layers of water waves under the breeze, the white clouds in the sky moved slowly, and the reflections on the water surface were broken into pieces from time to time, and then re-condensed.

The waterfowl soared freely without any haste, and suddenly dived into the water, and when it jumped up, it already had a fish in its mouth.

From time to time, there were dogs barking in the distance, and after a while, two dogs ran towards each other with a rabbit in their mouths.

The dog owner flicked the rabbit hard on the forehead, and the struggling rabbit fell silent.

"Wait, I'll give you the leftovers, go and stay over there."

The owner of the dog spoke to the two dogs. The two dogs first ran to the water's edge, stuck out their tongues and drank a few sips of water, and then ran to a cool place over there according to the owner's pointing direction, lying down there and sticking out their tongues.

Ma Hui and Qian Dushi looked at the rabbit sent by the dog, and after listening to Huang Lichang's introduction and what the person who provided the cucumber said, they suddenly understood.

The one hundred yuan was really used to buy the seasoning, because no one changed the seasoning for them, and everything else could be changed.

People here regard raising ducks and geese as their main business, as does catching crabs in autumn.

It is estimated that planting soybeans after harvesting wheat this year will also become a new main business, and everything else will be a matter of convenience.

Plant vegetables, catch fish and trade them for things, anyone who has time can do it.

That's why a newborn baby has to pay [-] Wen. The baby can't do the work, but has to breastfeed, and there are relatively few people who nurse.

The baby's [-] coins are counted on the mother, anyway, it can take a long time.

The money for selling duck and goose eggs, as well as the money for selling duck and goose seedlings, they count as their own and keep it for saving.

At other times, everyone would catch fish together to exchange for rice flour oil, and the rabbits caught. Obviously, the dogs caught today will become part of the dinner.

The two filled the meals by themselves, sat next to each other, and listened to the people chatting here.

Some people said that when they went to change the oil in the morning, they saw a pork seller and didn't know if it was good or not. They didn't dare to change it, fearing it might be bad.

Some people also said that mullet seemed to have entered the shrimp cage. The big one had opened the cage, and there was still meat hanging from the bamboo strips of the cage.

"The pickles are almost gone, who will go to the city tomorrow to buy pickles at Jubiqi?" asked the person in charge of cooking.

Only now did Ma Hui and Qian Dushi discover, no wonder they are familiar with each other!Jubiqi's pickles.

"Yes, there are pickles in the department store, Jubiqi, you have a lot of vegetables in the vegetable field, hurry up and make dried vegetables, and the store will collect them.

Last year, Xiaqiu Village collected [-] guan of dried vegetables from Nanjing. You might as well sell them if they are old and rotten in the field.

In the future, the seasoning will be bought in department stores, which are not more expensive than other places, and some are even cheaper. "

When Ma Hui heard that someone was going to Nanjing to buy pickles, he introduced the business to everyone.

"Yes, the department store is open. We agreed to make it easier for us to buy things. Why do we go so far to buy things!"

"Hurry up and put the goods on the shelves, so I can see what's there, and you can tell me what you take."

"Xiaqiu Village thought things were different from others, so they opened the store directly at home."

"We have to take care of the store. They hire people and pay them. Rhubarb, Erhuang, over here, oops! Stupid!"

The man said that he threw two bones from the rabbit to the dogs. The two dogs ran to catch them, but they didn't catch them.

……

After dinner, Qian Dushi and Ma Hui continued to go back to order and place goods.

"Others can give other things, one hundred Wen at a time, what can we give?" Ma Hui was worried.

"That's right! How do they live like this? No! One hundred cash per person is money for seasoning." Qian Dushi was equally depressed.

"But they live a happy life, don't worry too much, and help each other. Brother Ma, can you fish?"

"I haven't learned it before. I can archery. I prepared it for the imperial examination. Who would have thought..."

"Me too, let's shoot rabbits? One or two shots a day should be enough for food, right?"

"How can there be time! We have to buy and receive the goods."

"Just these people, they buy and sell every day? We'll be free. If it weren't for the requirement to hire four people, the two of us would be enough."

"Let's teach the children when we are free! Does teaching the children count as contribution?"

"It should be counted! Ask Mr. Huang tomorrow?"

"You don't need to ask, we have twenty booklets and ten sets of picture books, five sets of one set. Tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow we have to sell the goods first. On the first day of opening, everyone is curious. At least they want to buy pickles."

"Yes, the first few days are the busiest, and then we will teach the children. We are lucky."

"Other people don't have such good things! Especially those in Taiping Mansion."

"Work quickly, I just remembered, we are close to Nanjing!"

"Isn't it? If you say it's the past, you can pass it. Whoever wants to go back in the future will leave one person here."

"Go in the morning and come back in the evening."

The two talked and kept busy until the sun turned into the egg yolk in the west, or the orange-red egg yolk.

Feeling almost exhausted, the two were called to eat at the pier, and they saw a large group of dogs eating not far away.

A dog and a small wooden basin with rice soaked in vegetable soup and rabbit bones.

There is still rabbit meat for dinner, a lot, obviously these dogs have done a good job.

"Huang Lichang, feed the dog rice?" Ma Hui felt that this was extravagant.

"The leftovers at noon, when raising dogs, the dogs ran to the lake to find food, sometimes grazing grass, or getting some chaff.

If the dog has no meat to eat, it will eat mice, or catch rabbits and tear them up to eat. If there is really nothing, the dog will starve to death.

Now there is no shortage of food. Dogs can help watch ducks and geese, catch rabbits and watch the house.

Well-fed, grow strong, throw a bone, the dog can be happy for a long time.

Next time I go to the city, buy pork and eat it back. I need big bones for the head, and I will give them to celebrate the New Year when I come back. "

Huang Lichang looked at the group of dogs and said that when he bought the bones, he was all smiles.

Ma Hui and Qian Dushi nodded at the same time, yes, buying big bones, you will be rich, indeed you will be rich.

……

Compared with the shopkeepers of the two department stores in Shijiu Lake, people in other places are tired.

The students who went to Taiping Mansion arrived at noon, met the magistrate and others, and went their separate ways. Those who stayed in Dangtu County were regarded as popular.

Other places are far away, and there are yamen servants who have been delivering them, and it is estimated that they will arrive at midnight. Fortunately, it is hot, and if you are not afraid of mosquitoes, it is okay to sleep outside.

It would be even better if there is a mountain temple, earth temple or something.

And the students heading to Ningguo Mansion just arrived, [-] of them, they took a boat for a day, and some of them had to go ashore halfway for convenience.

But when they arrived here, they were considered home. Lizhi County asked them to take them to the yamen to rest, and arranged side dishes for them, instead of rice and soup.

The students brought soup in the water bag, and then there was Roujiamo. After they sat down, they ate Roujiamo with the soup.

"Live here tonight, there is a mosquito net, if you can't sleep, you can get up and drink, and I will send you to the place tomorrow by car."

Li Zhixian wanted to clean up the students, but seeing their appearance, he probably wouldn't agree, and hurried to work.

Then he can only arrange it to this extent, and he will help if there is any situation in the future.

　There is still one more today, to make up for the one signed before.
