After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 47
At the fourth watch, rustling noises came from Qin Yao's house.

Liu Ji yawned and went to the kitchen in the dark with sleepy eyes. He touched the flint, lit the oil lamp on the stove, started the stove fire, and heated up the ten extra multi-grain steamed buns that he made last night, which was today's breakfast.

Qin Yao packed her bags and walked out of the room, knocking on the door next door.

"Da Lang, Er Lang! Tell your younger brothers and sisters to get dressed and get up. It's cold in the morning, so put on all your clothes."

A new cotton cloth, with a new thick cotton jacket in the middle, and a second-hand old clothes on the outside. When the temperature rises, just take off the outermost old clothes.

At the same time, it also plays a role in protecting the new clothes, and there is no need to change and wash the dirty ones in this winter.

Liu Jiduan washed the rotten sackcloth by the river once, and it has been rotted into rags.

But as long as it can still be used, poor people will not throw it away. Now it has become a rag and a foot wipe at home.

When the four of Dalang got up, he was extremely excited. After a lively wash, the steamed buns were steamed.

The family of six had breakfast, locked the door, and walked towards the village chief's house with torches on.

Liu Ji had agreed in advance to borrow the ox cart, and the youngest son of the village head's family had already got up, set up the ox cart and handed it to Liu Ji, giving him careful instructions.

It was not easy to borrow this car, it all depended on Qin Yao's face, if Liu Ji wanted to borrow it, the door would not be opened for him, and he was kicked out of the car directly.

The cattle have been fed by the village chief's youngest son. The speed of the cattle cart is not fast, but it is much faster than people walking. It takes less than two hours to reach Kaiyang County.

Da Lang was holding on to the handrails on three sides of the car. From the beginning of getting on the car with great interest, he was knocked down by the back.

Liu Ji's driving skills were not very good. The cow would go very fast for a while, and then stop to nibble grass on the roadside. In this way, the family of six finally arrived at the gate of Kaiyang County.

Today is a cloudy day, and now the sky is full of light, but it still looks foggy.

But this can't resist people's enthusiasm, because today is a big market, and the end of the year is approaching, so many people come to the market to buy new year's goods.

In addition to the government's sale of cattle, the two things were added together, and people from all directions came, and there was a long queue at the entrance to the city.

Liu Ji thought that his family came early, but he didn't expect that there were others earlier than him, so he had to wait obediently behind the long queue to enter the city.

The entrance fee is still one penny per person, except for babies who can't walk, as long as they can get down to the ground and walk by themselves, they cannot be exempted from the entrance fee.

Therefore, there are very few people who bring children together, and most of them are couples, or father and son, brothers, or adults from the same village.

The four of Dalang were sitting in the car, and it was just a city gate, which could surprise them all.

Looking at so many people around, all kinds of dialects mixed with excitement, the eyes almost couldn't see it.

After queuing for 10 minutes, it was finally Qin Yao's family's turn.

What Qin Yao didn't expect was that the two officials at the city gate recognized Liu Ji and called him by his name.

Liu Ji also acted like two brothers and exchanged pleasantries with the two, handed over six copper coins, and led the cow into the city.

By the way, because I took the oxen, I spent an extra two cents, which is called the carriage and horse management fee.

However, the money is not paid in vain. After paying the money, the carriages and horses can be parked in the livestock shed at the gate of the city, and there are special officials to guard them.

Of course, parking fees must be paid separately. Generally, parking is a flat fee of five cents regardless of the length of time.

It hasn't really entered the city yet, and the cost of a round has already cost thirteen Wen.

The advantage is that you don't have to worry about important property like bullock carts being tied up outside the city gate and being missed by thieves, thus eliminating some of the risk of loss.

After the bullock cart was parked, Qin Yao called the four brothers and sisters to get off the cart.

When Dalang Erlang is old, he can walk behind the adults by himself, while Sanlang and Siniang are still young, Liu Ji and Qin Yao hug each other and lead them through the crowd.

The four of Dalang entered the city with novelty in his eyes, but at the same time he was a little cautious.

They found that the people in the city were well dressed, with colorful clothes and exquisite embroidery on their collars.

There are servants beside the gentlemen, and the ladies and ladies wear fences on their heads and silk and satin on their bodies, and there are strong women beside them to separate the crowd, so as to prevent the master's house from being rushed by the servants.

From the moment they entered the city, ordinary people like them walked along the streets, because the commercial roads in the middle were occupied by these privileged classes. Ordinary people were afraid of bumping into these people, so they naturally avoided them again and again.

But after passing the most prosperous section of the road, the number of people walking in the center of the street gradually increased.

East Street and West Street are like two places.

There are many restaurants and shops on the East Street, and there are street stalls everywhere on the West Street.

It was no longer so crowded. Qin Yao finally had the opportunity to ask Liu Ji, "Are you familiar with the guards at the city gate?"

Liu Ji raised his eyebrows in embarrassment, "At any rate, I also studied in the county academy, so it's strange to know a lot of people."

"Don't you only have two days of rest every month when studying in the academy?" Qin Yao immediately caught the loophole in his words and asked: "Where do you find the time to make friends with these people?"

Liu Ji stopped talking immediately.

Qin Yao's eyes darkened, and she glanced at him coldly and warningly. Then Liu Ji muttered: "I've helped them a few times, so I got to know them."

As for what kind of work, Qin Yao guessed it. With a character like Liu Ji's, it was nothing more than being a thug or an accomplice.

"What kind of eyes do you have?" Liu Ji asked back when he felt that Qin Yao was looking at him wrongly.

Qin Yao shook her head gently and said nothing more.

Liu Ji glanced at her suspiciously. Could it be that he knew that he knew the official and was afraid?

Obviously he was thinking too much, Qin Yao just found the place where the cattle were sold, told Dalang Erlang to follow closely, and rushed over first with Sanlang and Siniang in his arms.

The government's cattle were going to be sold, and everyone wanted to buy them. People surrounded the open space on three floors inside and three outside, waiting for the government to take the cattle out and make a bid.

Many gentry families also sent people over, waiting to buy cattle.

Although these people are servants and servants, they are dressed much better than most of the common people here. They have ruddy complexions and are taller. Those who don't know may think they are rich peasants.

Liu Ji is tall and good-looking. He is wearing a newly purchased blue cotton-padded jacket. He walks straight and has the aloof look of a scholar. Some people thought he was a student in an academy and actually gave way to Qin Yao's family of six. Entered the first floor.

Dalang was surprised. He didn't expect his father to be doing so well in the city.

Seeing Liu Ji's pretentious appearance, Qin Yao is obviously used to doing such things because of his good looks.

Anyway, he himself didn't say what his identity was, so these people would misunderstand him.

The stewards sent by several trench gentry came forward and politely asked Liu Ji if he wanted to buy cattle too.

Such a polite and tentative expression released Liu Ji's long-suffering heart at home, and he didn't care if he had any money in his pocket, so he said:
"Let's see first, if it's healthy, then I'll definitely take a few back."

Qin Yao clearly saw that several of the probing stewards were wary of Liu Ji. They really regarded him as a competitor.
