The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 130 Going to the City to Buy a Donkey
Xiong Jie and Ye Qing watched Wu Yan dial the abacus beads, after a while of crackling, there was a crisp "click" - Wu Yan stopped.

"To be precise, it's 180 pennies," Wu Yan reported the count calmly, looked at Xiong Jie with a smile on his face, and said, "Boss Xiong, is that right?"

"Yes, not bad at all."

Xiong Jie was completely taken aback by the young man in front of him, he didn't expect him to be hiding something.

"Young man, which account room do you keep accounts in?"

Wu Yan slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, his eyes showed a bit of disdain, and then said arrogantly: "It's purely a personal preference."

Ye Qing: ".."

This bastard, can you be more modest?
Xiong Jie didn't expect his smiling face to stick to his cold ass, he smiled awkwardly, and raised his hand to touch his nose.

Ye Qing gave him a speechless look, and quickly changed the subject to smooth things over: "Uncle Xiong, I asked you to borrow 200 taels of silver, and now I will return all the silver to you."

After finishing speaking, she took out two ingots of silver from her pocket and put them in front of Xiong Jie.

Xiong Jie didn't want to accept it, but he knew Ye Qing's bad temper too well. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll ask someone to give you the change later."

"it is good!"

The two looked at each other, then burst out laughing.

They are willing to deal with people with a straightforward temperament, and they are very happy to cooperate with each other.

Wu Yan looked at the two happily smiling people, and after pulling his eyelids, he straightened his body again, sat upright, and remained motionless.

Ye Qing and Xiong Jie didn't know that in order to personally count the national treasury, they "practiced" abacus beads behind closed doors for a month.

He can even calculate the national treasury clearly, let alone 200 taels of silver?
Thinking of the past, Wu Yan felt dizzy, why did he say this to Ye Qing?It can only be delayed for a while, count it for a while!

"By the way, Uncle Xiong, I still have something to ask you!"

"Oh? But it doesn't matter!"

"Uncle Xiong is well-informed, I hope Uncle Xiong can help."

After Ye Qing said some more polite words, he finally revealed the fact that he wanted to buy a donkey.

These days, although it is not too far from Jincheng, it is not too close. It takes more than ten miles to walk back and forth.

It's okay to go into the city empty-handed, but Ye Junbei went into the city with a bucket, so he had to pick a pig and come back into the water.The pigs are all parallel imports, how heavy are they?
Just thinking about the weight, Ye Qing felt very sorry for his elder brother.

She didn't know how much money a donkey cost, but she gritted her teeth and decided to buy it.

Besides, since the family bought a donkey, they can also help their parents collect grain, and help out in the field during the busy farming season, so it is convenient for everyone to go anywhere.

Why not?
"Girl, since you want to buy a donkey, then come to the city tomorrow morning, and I will accompany you to the market. There are mostly acquaintances there, and I will definitely give you a preferential price."

"Uncle Bear..."

"By the way, don't worry about not having enough money. I'll cover it for you first, and then deduct it from your lo mei money. Do you think it's okay?"

How much money Ye Qing has earned and how much money is left, Xiong Jie knows better than anyone else.

In fact, Xiong Jie can completely ignore the trivial matters of Ye Qing's family, but he just thinks that this child is obedient, hardworking, and sensible, and if he can't bear it, he will help him if he can.

Think about it differently, if it wasn't for Ye Qing's cooperation with him in the past six months, how could the restaurant's business be "thriving day by day"?
Ye Qing was so moved that he didn't know what to say, his eyes were red, the tip of his nose was sour, and a tear rolled down from the corner of his eye.

In Ye Qing's mind, businessmen are generally mercenary, and have always been "no profit can't afford it".There are not many businessmen who look as straightforward as Xiong Jie, and they are considered an exception, but what made her even more unexpected was that Xiong Jie was actually an exception among the exceptions.

Which partner will throw money at the other party without profit?

"Girl, why are you crying so hard? Let others see me and think I'm bullying you because of my age!"

"You dare to bully her, I will kill you!"

Xiong Jie: ".."

After silently glaring at Xiong Jie, he stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Ye Qing's eyes as if no one else was there, and comforted him, "I'm happy, why are you crying?"

"Uncle Xiong, thank you!"

"It's getting late, go back quickly."

Xiong Jie had never seen a little girl cry before, he couldn't help it, so he got up and went to Xiao Er to prepare a carriage to take her back.

Not only did they send a carriage to take her off, but they also specially packed two plates of glutinous rice snacks for her, so that she could eat on the way when she was hungry.

On the way back, Ye Qing was skeptical about Wu Yan's performance today, but Wu Yan avoided him vaguely.

Because Ye Qing was going to buy a donkey, he was very happy in his heart, and he stopped talking about "planning plans" with Wu Yan, and went home eating glutinous rice snacks.

During dinner, Ye Qing explained that he was going to the city to buy a donkey, the frowning family at the dinner table finally eased their frowns and smiled.

Xu is afraid that Ye Qing won't buy a donkey, and will be deceived by others, so Ye Pingrong will follow him to check it out early in the morning.

"Mother, Uncle Xiong said he would go with me. I'll let Wu Yan come with me when the time comes. It's fine. You and Dad can break corn at home, and wait for my donkey cart to come back to pull it."

"Qingqing, do you still want to buy a carriage?" When Xu heard this, she looked at her in surprise, and then said: "Mother heard that buying a donkey cart costs dozens of taels of silver!"

"The donkey cart at the village head's house cost more than 40 taels."

"so much?"

"No!"

Ye Qing listened to his parents' discussion, and quickly asked them to stop, but he couldn't shake his determination to buy a donkey.Forty or so, just forty or so, as long as the family saves labor and labor, the money will be earned back slowly.

"Mom, I'm full, eat slowly."

After Ye Qing finished speaking, he happily went back to the house.

After "Pistachio" returned to the room, the happy faces of the people at the table were immediately filled with sorrow, and no one spoke again, eating in silence.

Early the next morning, Ye Qing and Wu Yan went into the city.

Xiong Jie got up early in the morning and waited for them in the restaurant. Seeing them coming, he specially asked the kitchen to serve two bowls of noodles. After the two had finished eating, the three went to the animal market to buy donkeys.

In order to buy the best donkey, when Ye Qing and Wu Yan walked to the city gate, they just opened the city gate, it's not too early.

During the busy farming season, farmers are at home picking cotton and breaking corn cobs for the autumn harvest, and very few people go to the city to buy things.

Even though they had just delayed time by eating noodles, there was no one on the street.

Whether it is a repeat customer or Xiong Jie, they are all "reputable" in Jincheng, and there are too many people who know Xiong Jie.

From the restaurant to the livestock market, there were not a hundred people, but eighty people who greeted Xiong Jie.

Walking to the livestock market, there are people who sell donkeys, cows, and horses. There is a lot of manure on the ground, and the air is mixed with the smell of manure, which penetrates into the nostrils.

Wu Yan frowned slightly, then heard Xiong Jie calling Ye Qing: "Girl, come and see how this donkey is doing."
