Chapter 65
"Selling vegetables! Selling vegetables, fresh cucumbers, beans, and peppers!"

"How do you grow vegetables at home? So many vegetables!"

"You bought the seeds well. Sister-in-law, please weigh some and take them home."

"Brother Wang, it turns out this is your family."

Doctor Ji brought Tong Yuan with him, and Tong Yuan was carrying a vegetable basket in his hand. The two of them went out to buy vegetables.

"Doctor Ji, come quickly, I'll pack some vegetables for you, fresh."

Doctor Ji was almost knocked down because there were too many people.

Tong Yuan was holding a basket full of vegetables.

"It hasn't been weighed yet." Tong Yuan was surprised, this must be too enthusiastic.

"What else do you want to eat? I'll give it to you to eat. If it's delicious, I'll buy it next time."

Doctor Ji smiled, but didn't see him, and told Tong Yuan to take it.

"It's them, my lord."

Mr. Guo had his hands behind his back. He was wearing casual clothes today, and many people in Mengtang Town didn't know him well.

"Why are you crowded! I don't know first come, first served! Go behind the line."

The subordinates around Mr. Guo are not happy, how can they treat Mr. Guo like this.

"Oh! Don't be anxious, let's just take a look, don't disturb everyone." Mr. Guo looked at the vegetable stall.

Recently, he heard people say that there is a family in the market who sells a large number of vegetables. The vegetables they sell are large and delicious, and they are very popular among the people.

Check it out today, it's really popular.

Wang Yongye's sharp eyes saw Mr. Guo in the crowd at a glance, and he nudged his wife with his elbow.

"Is that Master Guo?"

Fang Cuiying followed her gaze and saw that this was Lord Guo, here for a private visit.

The Wang family became vigilant, they should have done nothing wrong.

Father Wang handed over the scale in his hand to his son, and walked to Mr. Guo's side.

Several people walked aside tacitly and stood under a tree.

"I don't know what's the matter here, my lord?"

Mr. Guo looked at the bustling business and said with a smile: "I heard that there are people selling a lot of seasonal vegetables in the market. It's not in season yet. How do you grow these melons and vegetables in your family?"

Father Wang asked someone to sit on the stone pier, which is a long story.

"So that's it, where is the Penglai immortal who sold the seeds now?"

Father Wang explained that this kind of fairy travels around, and it is his family's blessing to meet him by chance.

Mr. Guo was half-convinced that there really was such an immortal in the world, and he was probably from Tianlin Kingdom.

Tianlin is a powerful country with well-developed agricultural irrigation, and a lot of grain is grown every year. The country is so powerful, maybe people from their country brought the seeds out to sell.

The two of them were chatting about family matters, and they started talking about state affairs.

Master Guo has been in the officialdom for a long time and knows the inside of Daqi very well.

Gold and jade are in ruins, the situation in the court is complicated, several princes are fighting for power, the current emperor is old and weak, and the former close ministers are gradually being emptied of power.

Most of the small officials in these places are far above the sky and the emperor is far away, as long as there are no major mistakes, it is easy to get back to the field.

He has not achieved any political achievements in his life, and I don't know if he will survive until the dynasty changes.

Father Wang inquired about the military and the situation at the border.

Master Guo shook his head, as if he had found an old friend. The situation at the border was tense, and the neighboring countries seemed to be silent.

The two of them tacitly agreed that when waiting for the autumn harvest, the fox would always show its tail.

"Dad, what do you want Mr. Guo to do with us?"

Father Wang just said it was nothing and he cared about people's livelihood.

"Little lady, where are you going to transport these dishes, I will take you."

Several boatmen are soliciting customers one after another, holding bamboo poles in the water. Their boats are larger and are usually used to carry goods.

"We're going to transport the vegetables to Lanyi Town, see if your boat can hold them."

"Hey! My boat is too big. I can't fit it. I'll move it for you."

"Wait a minute, how much is it?"

"Just look at it, we are all people who live on the water, and we are all rooted here, honestly."

After negotiating the price, the boatman's wife came out of the boat shed and carried the vegetables onto the boat.

"Your dishes look really good."

Fang Cuiying smiled, everyone who has seen their food said so.

There are five baskets of vegetables in total, cucumbers are the most and they are very heavy.

As soon as the goods are on board, the ship will have half a draft.

Mother and daughter Fang said goodbye at the pier. They looked at the boat slowly going down the river before they returned to their stall.

"Sold out so fast!"

Liu Chunlan straightened her waist. Her waist was sore and painful, and she had been bending all morning.

"It's very fast. There are more people buying than the previous few days. I don't think ours is enough to sell."

"Wang family, do you want to buy cattle?"

While several people were closing the stall, an old man stepped forward.

"Don't you still have to keep your cattle on the farmland?"

They asked last time, but it was a pity that Old Man Chen was unwilling to do so, but now he agreed again.

Old man Chen complained that his son broke his leg while working and his family was in a hurry for money.

Some relatives wanted to buy his cattle at a low price.

This is not taking advantage of the fire to rob. I think his cattle are crazy.

He is willing to sell the cattle to the Wang family, and they will give him a lot of money, which can solve his urgent need.

Old man Chen was leading a cow behind him. Its skin was gray-black, its horns were thick and flat, its short ears flicked, and its tail flicked to repel mosquitoes.

Father Wang stretched out his hand and touched the cow. The cow weighed more than 600 kilograms and had big and hard hooves.

"This cow is only seven or eight years old. It is the time when the labor is good. If you raise it well, it will not be a problem to work for another ten years."

"Father, this buffalo is strong." Wang Yongan couldn't put it down.

"It's still the same, your cow is good, ten taels of silver."

Old man Chen pursed his lips. The price was already very high, but it was a pity that this was an old buddy who had been with him for many years.

"Uncle Chen, this price is already very high. We have definitely not treated you badly. You should know this in your heart."

Old Man Chen nodded. He was embarrassed to ask for more from him. You must know that his relatives only wanted to buy his cattle for five taels of silver.

"We don't have that much money on us. If you wait and get it, you won't lose a penny."

"Your son broke his leg, you can find Dr. Ji in Chuntang, he's good at medicine!"

Old man Chen nodded. They had already gone to see him. The doctor said that he would be injured for a hundred days.

It is the busy season of farming at home, one less person, one less cow, will be many times harder.

"This is ten taels of silver. You take it, and we have to go to the Yamen to write a letter on the sale of livestock."

Cattle are an important labor resource, and they are all registered in the government. They are not allowed to be bought, sold or slaughtered at will.

Under the Daqi Agricultural Law, it is illegal to slaughter cattle, and if the circumstances are serious, you will be arrested and jailed.

Old Man Chen patted the cow's head, reluctantly, and whispered in the cow's ear.

His old friend!You will have a new home in the future. I hope the new owner will treat you well.

Wang Yongan leads the cow, who has a gentle temperament and big eyes, and goes to his new home.

"We will call this cow Dahei from now on. Look at how strong he is, gray and black."

"Our family will have cattle in the future."

Wang Yongan thought, go home and make a pull board for Dahei, so that he can pull vegetables in the future.
