Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 40 Wheelchair

Chapter 40 Wheelchair
The night passed peacefully, and the next morning Puhuang woke up just after dawn, helped Mrs. Xu with some things, and then went to Lizheng's house. Although it was a good time to start, it was better to be early than late.

When they arrived, Lizheng's family was having dinner, and when they saw Puhuang coming, Cui greeted him heartily: "Isn't this Puhuang, have you eaten Chaoshi, let's go together, everyone, go get some tableware."

Pu Huang saluted, and said with a smile: "Thank you, auntie, I came here after eating, you take it easy, I'll wait outside the door." As he said, he really went out, and there was a door on the right side. Sat down under the banyan tree.

Mrs. Cui shook her head, took a piece of dried lotus leaf, and then grabbed two pieces of radish and rice cakes and put them in, and asked the eldest daughter-in-law to deliver them. This girl is really very polite and polite. I really can't imagine that she would strangle someone's neck. The appearance, but the specifics will have to be observed carefully in the future.

Smiling, Xiao took out the lotus leaf bag and stuffed it into Puhuang's hand, "I say girl Puhuang, don't be too polite, this is a stomach pad for the road."

Warm in the palm of the hand, smelling the faint fragrance of lotus leaves and radish in the nose, Pu Huang blessed Xiao Shi's lower body, "Thank you sister-in-law, if I get fresh food in the future, I will definitely send it to try."

"Then I'm looking forward to it, my sister's craftsmanship is definitely not bad." Xiao said with a smile, the two chatted for a few more words, and then went back.

After Mrs. Xiao left, Pu Huang felt a little regretful again. Her cooking skills are not very good, so the food she cooks is so novel. Besides, she came all the way from the north, and she saw a lot of food, all kinds of tastes, sweet, bitter, spicy, everything you expect , much richer than later generations.

After swallowing the radish cake in two or three mouthfuls, Puhuang squinted at the villagers carrying water for irrigation by the river. The water flow of this river is not small, and there are lush aquatic plants growing on both sides of the river bank. She vaguely remembered that there was that Wild vegetables grow by the water, do the villagers eat them?

As far as she knew in her previous life, the popularity of the same wild vegetable in villages in different provinces and cities is different. Some villages don't know all about it, while others have rare ones. If people here don't pay much attention to them, she can pick them up. I don't want to sell it as a vegetable, unless it is some wild vegetables needed for festivals or special flavors such as buckwheat, which can't be sold at a price in the city, but people despise it.

Li was harnessing the mule and beckoning to Puhuang, "Girl, come here, the car is simple, don't mind."

"No, I will trouble you if I ask you to take me there." Pu Huang bowed, this car is a bit similar to the cart she had seen in the previous life, but the bottom plate is higher, it looks like it should be made of fir , more lightweight.

"No trouble, no trouble, this trip is inevitable." Li Zheng waved his hand, turned his head to Pu Huang and smiled, "Sit down, yo ho, let's go!"

The speed of the mule cart is really fast. It took more than two hours to reach the county, but it took less than an hour.Seeing that the mule cart stopped at a special place, Li led Puhuang to the county government office.The county town is well planned, the central street is the busiest place, passing through the two busiest streets, before stopping in front of a solemn and solemn yamen.

Li Zheng stepped forward to talk to the gatekeeper, and then led Puhuang in. He didn't see him stuffing money or anything, so he knew him well. Entering the county government office was not the lobby that Puhuang thought it was, but the hall. A square courtyard, go to the left, where the main place is to apply for household registration, land deed and house deed.

Puhuang started to look at it, and found that there would be a sign on the right side of the door. The one that was entering was the household registration. The room was not small, with many bookshelves, and files were placed on it.Li was talking on the table by the window, and placed the things in his hand in front of the three of them.

"This is the tea I made myself, how about a taste?" Li Zheng was even familiar with them, and there was no sense of condescension when he spoke.

"Okay, who doesn't know that Li Zheng in Heping Village is good at frying tea. This is the green leaf tea, which is only available at this time of the season. You said you forgot to bring it last time. Why are you here today?" The people working in this room are all middle-aged people in their 30s. They look weak and weak. They are in charge of household registration on weekdays, and occasionally take over matters related to land deeds. People are there, in short, it is a department of Qingshui.

Pu Huang followed Lizheng, and felt that the responsibility plan was a bit familiar, as if there were some shadows of the structure of the previous life, but thinking about this is a changed world, he was relieved.

"Isn't this a family split in the village? It's that kid Hong Hao'an who brought his wife here to register for household registration." Li Zheng pointed to Pu Huang, who was hanging his head behind him, and said.

"You mean the one who ran the darts. When he was disabled, he really shocked many people. He paid a lot for that trip." One of the household members said, just glanced at Pu Huang, not paying much attention.

"It's done, I won't talk about this. It's rare that a girl is willing to follow him. Come here, get your fingerprints, and go out for a stroll later." Another household member waved to Puhuang and took out a card. Blank rice paper, it can be seen that this thing is already done.

Pu Huang glanced at Li Zheng, and saw him nodding, "Make a fingerprint, remember the way, and wait for me at the mule cart in an hour."

Pu Huang nodded, pressed his fingerprints, and saluted, "Please gentlemen, the lady will leave first." It's just an account registration, and there shouldn't be any problems if you are here.

The street where the county government is located is not lively, it is very eye-catching, with a solemn atmosphere, the houses on the street are separated from the county government by a certain distance, and the county government is directly opposite, but there is a block Walls, no houses.

Pu Huang speculated that this might be because no one dared to face the main entrance of the county government.

After leaving the street where the county government office is located, you will arrive at Xiushui Street, a relatively prosperous street in the county seat. Apart from the shops on both sides, there are also street stalls arranged neatly and regularly along the street. From time to time, I can get some filial food, and those yamen servants don't have the arrogant and domineering face that Pu Huang thinks.

Touching the silver stuffed in the hidden pocket inside the waist of the skirt, Pu Huang looked at it as he walked, thinking about what to buy back home, if he wanted to give a thank you gift, it would really need a lot of silver.

After all, it's a gift, and to be honest, it's not okay if you don't buy it in twos or threes, and she has stayed in Bishui Town, the price there is obviously a little lower than that in the county, and the variety is much less.Pu Huang thought about it, and tried to recall the novels he read in his previous life. It was written in the book that he gave thank-you gifts, and it seemed that he ate and drank the most.Wasn't the green leaf tea that Li was giving away just now also fried by myself?
Puhuang walked very slowly, it looked as if she was looking at the goods on the stall, but in fact, her mental strength went through the two shops on the street, taking stock of the goods inside, because she wanted to see what could be sold. The second is to see what goods are available and whether they are as complete as later generations.

Walking down the two streets, Puhuang was really startled. Most of the things are here, dry goods, pickled, fresh, brewed, etc. It is not uncommon to see things that were common in previous lives here. Bishui Town Lively many times.

Puhuang couldn't help but feel a little headache, how to do this, should I give the thank you gift after it stabilizes, or prepare it now?After much deliberation, Pu Huang decided to discuss it with Hong Haoan, and now, let's go to a carpenter's shop on the corner of the street to have a look. She just glanced at it, and it seems that there are wheelchairs for sale.

There are not many finished products in this store. There are a lot of firewood placed horizontally or vertically from the corner of the wall. When you enter the store, you can smell a strong wood fragrance and dust floating in the air.

"Madam, what kind of furniture do you want to order?" A handsome boy who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, who should be an apprentice, came over and asked politely.

Pu Huang's eyes fell on the wheelchair in the corner, "Do you have that chair in stock?"

The apprentice's eyes lit up, "Ma'am, you came just in time. This was ordered by a certain customer two months ago, but he later regretted it. If you want it, I can give you a better price."

The wheelchair is directly facing a side door, and an old man wearing an apron came out from the inside. He was a little thin. He heard Puhuang's words, and he narrowed his eyes and looked up and down, "Ma'am, this is a wheelchair. Those who can do it prepared it, are you sure you want it?"

Pu Huang bowed to the old man, "Master, my husband is injured and his legs are inconvenient. He wants to buy a wheelchair. I don't know the price?"

The old man was obviously a little surprised by Puhuang's calmness, "How about the 950 text, if you are not satisfied, the old man can modify it on the spot!"

"Can you try it?" Although there are wheelchairs, the function of this still needs to be tested.

"Naturally." The old man nodded.

The apprentice excitedly stepped forward and pushed the wheelchair out.

Puhuang touched her hand and pushed back and forth. It took little effort. Then she looked carefully at the wheels. There was a big wooden wheel on the left and right sides. To her surprise, there were four small cast iron wheels underneath. The sound was not small, but, "This wheel, can't the patient push it by himself?"

The old man nodded, "This wheelchair patient can turn it by himself, but it requires more strength, and it is just right for a man."

Pu Huang blinked her eyes. The ancient handicrafts are more developed than the modern ones. That’s for sure. I heard that wheelchairs can be turned by the patient themselves. She thinks that the price before 950 Wen is not expensive, but she still has to cut down the price. “Master, look , can this price be lowered?"

"Then erase fifty Wen, which is already the lowest price."

Seeing the old man's expression, Pu Huang knew that there was no room for bargaining, so she reached out and took out about one tael of silver from the hidden pocket at the waist of her skirt. This is how she learned how to estimate the weight from Hong Hao'an.Of course, money shops and pawnshops will use scales, but usually, everyone just relies on their feelings, and there are still very few people who deceive people.

After receiving the recovered copper coins, Puhuang glanced at them to confirm that the amount was correct, and put them into a small pouch, holding them in his hands and tucking them into his sleeves.

"Kazuki, help Madam take this wheelchair back." The old man said.

Pu Huang shook his head, "No, I can do it myself." Then, he picked up the wheelchair and left easily.
