Farmer's happy event

Chapter 64

On the first day of February, there was another big market. Liu Jingren had made an appointment with Zhou Tongli a few days ago to go to the market to buy cattle and horses.

At that time, when Zhou Tongli heard that his family was going to buy cattle and horses, he was really shocked and said in surprise: "It's both cattle and horses, but it's not a small expense!"

Farmers buy cattle, which are not only capable of farm work, but they can also be put on a bullock cart when going out, instead of walking.Ma Ke is different, the price is about the same as that of a cow, but he can't do farm work, he just runs errands.Farmers don't need horses for many things, they just go to a store for a fair, and they don't really need them.

As for the cows, it is even more useless.The milk is not enough, and it is useless to drink it.

Liu Jingren just smiled honestly and said, "I've walked a lot, and I'm afraid I'll tire the cow out."

Zhou Tongli also smiled, the farmers cherished the animals and never let the animals do too much work.

The two picked at the fair, and the horse was easy to buy, but the cows were troublesome, and there was no sale at the fair.In the end, Liu Jingren and Zhou Tongli had no choice but to go to the house where the cow was originally bought, and bought a cow for ten taels of silver.

The price of ten taels of silver is really not low, but there is no other way.In a radius of hundreds of miles, only his family has cows.

It cost a total of 23 taels of silver to buy horses and cattle, which was several taels beyond the budget.But the whole family is still happy. Calculated in this way, it saves a lot of money just to buy milk.

The next day was February [-], and the dragon raised its head.

As the saying goes, "February [-], the dragon raises its head, the big warehouse is full, and the small warehouse is flowing".For the country people, it is a big day for the dragon to raise its head.Yang got up early in the morning, and even the child shouted together.Brush the pot and burn the fire to fry the noodles and beans, and set up an altar in the yard, put the fried noodles and beans, and some other grains for the heaven and the earth, praying for a year of good weather.

Lianzi couldn't help sighing in her heart, time flies so fast, it will be February in a blink of an eye, after the sting of insects, everything will sprout and grow overnight like bamboo shoots after a rain.

In March, we will be busy planting peanuts. Of the two acres of third-grade land allocated to the Lianzi family, one acre is planted with winter wheat. When the wheat is harvested at the end of April, autumn peanuts will be planted.As for the other mu left uncultivated, spring peanuts will be planted in March.Mrs. Yang can't stay idle at home, and her work inside and out is done in an orderly manner, and the peanuts reserved for planting have been picked out in the first year.

As for the newly purchased [-] mu of land, the land is still relatively barren and the soil is acidic.Lianzi asked Liu Jingren to send all the ash left over from the fire at home to the field. First, improve the soil. After the spring peanuts are planted, try planting the soybeans of the previous season first, and then plant sweet potatoes after harvesting the soybeans.After one or two years of improvement like this, I believe the soil fertility will slowly recover.

It has been a month since Dong Guishan's restaurant reopened, and it is currently operating normally.As Lianzi expected, after only eight days, the restaurant's initial investment was almost fully recovered.

Shopkeeper Dong was still panicking at first, but after reconciling the account, he seemed to be overjoyed, and finally he would not lose everything.According to the current situation, as long as there are no major mistakes, it will be profitable every day in the future.

Lianzi's family still made sauce for his restaurant according to the agreement with him years ago, and they would send a car to pick it up every three to five days.

This sauce is not sold separately in the restaurant, nor is it put in when cooking, but as long as the guests who come in to eat, they will give such a small dish for free.Don't underestimate this small dish of sauce, with it, it will definitely whet your appetite and at the same time show the generosity of this restaurant.If things go on like this, there will definitely be more and more repeat customers.

So shopkeeper Dong has always been very fortunate that he listened to Lianzi's suggestion.Could this little girl be his lucky star?

He also followed the agreement at the time, and after the restaurant became profitable, he personally delivered 300 taels of silver to Lianzi's home.

Yang Shi and Liu Jingren were at a loss when they saw that they had given so much money.When I had 100 taels of silver at the beginning, I was excited for a long time, but now 300 taels came suddenly, and I didn't know what to do.

My own lotus seeds are just helping out with ideas, and the money for Ning Qing's writing has already been paid.Is it too much to give so much money?
Lianzi saw that her parents didn't pick it up, and Shopkeeper Dong still held up the money, hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile, "Thank you, shopkeeper." Then she took the money.

The hard work of 300 taels of silver may seem like a lot, but once compared with the benefits that shopkeeper Dong obtained from it, it is insignificant.

According to the current situation of the restaurant, the net profit for a month alone is probably more than 300 taels, so the lotus seeds are accepted with peace of mind.

If it wasn't for the fear that it would be difficult to get out in the future, Lianzi would have asked for a shareholding share at the beginning, and the money he got would definitely be much more.

Shopkeeper Dong didn't sit down any longer, he just drank a bowl of tea and hurriedly left.

The family suddenly had hundreds of taels of silver, and it was really not safe to keep it at home.Lianzi thought, there should be a place like a bank in this town, and deposit the money in it, so that it will be more at ease.

This money should not be spent right now.Although she plans to open a shop, but this is just an idea, and it will definitely not be realized in the near future.The newly purchased [-] mu of land has not been on the right track yet, so we need to be patient in rectifying the thin land. We should wait for the [-] mu of thin land to be rectified before buying other land.

The family is still making preserved fruits and preserves for shopkeeper Zhang's shop, and supplying sauce for the restaurant.These two incomes alone are far enough to maintain the family's peaceful and enjoyable life, and there is no need to touch the hundreds of taels of silver.

At present, the money will only accumulate more and more, so it is very necessary to find a bank to save it.

Right now, Yang Shi and Liu Jingren are also worrying about the money.

"Her father," Yang said to Liu Jingren, "you say, with so much money, it's hard not to be missed by thieves, what should I do?"

Liu Jingren also frowned deeply, how would he know what to do with the money.

"Father, mother," Lianzi said, "Why don't we deposit this silver in the bank."

As soon as Lianzi's proposal was made, it was rejected by Mrs. Yang.

"How did that happen?" she said, "Why don't we put our own money in other people's hands? If someone steals the money and escapes, where can we find it?"

Lianzi let out a sigh of helplessness in her heart, and even ignored this question.

It seems that the ancient village households were still not open-minded enough.Many of these banks are sub-colons of a general ticket number, and these semi-colons can be found everywhere in the country.The reputation is completely guaranteed, so how can they be afraid that they will run away with money?

It's just that Yang Shi and Liu Jingren have never experienced this kind of thing before, so it's not surprising that they have such worries.It seems that it will take a lot of effort to convince them.

Now that the family has a carriage, Lianzi thinks that when the spring plowing is about to begin, the family will definitely go to the town to buy things again. At that time, she will go and have a look and find a reliable bank.

The peanuts at home have been removed from the seeds, and there is only a little bit left, which can be used for the last dessert.The lotus seeds are going to be sold again when the market is held, and they will not be made until the new peanuts are born this year.Wait until the new peanuts are received, and then sell them.

With a horse in the family, it is natural that the road will be much faster. This time it is considered to be in time and to occupy a good position.

Hu Yongcheng didn't come today, Lian Zixin said that since he cooperated with shopkeeper Dong, he has stopped coming to the market to sell vegetables.Those vegetables are not enough just to supply restaurants, and there is no need to sell them at the market.I just don't know what he is busy with at home now.

Not long after the booth was set up, the business was as good as ever, and there was an endless stream of people buying dim sum.

It's not cold this morning, there is a thin mist, and the air is very humid.Lianzi took a deep breath, and a feeling of spring welled up in her heart.

Just when she was about to stretch her arms and move her joints, she suddenly saw a plain white figure approaching. When she took a closer look, who was it not Ning Qing?

He must have gone to see his mother again.

This child is really pitiful.

Ning Qing also saw her, smiled slightly, and walked over here.

"Morning." Lianzi greeted with a sweet smile.

Ning Qing nodded and greeted their family.

"Let's get some more dim sum, this time there are new varieties." Yang greeted warmly, after all, she also helped them a lot, so it's not right to give them some dim sum.

It's just that he didn't know if he had finished eating the half-carriage he sent last time.

"Okay," Ning Qing said with a smile, not polite.

Yang had already lifted off the white cotton cloth covering the dim sum, wrapped a pack of dim sum in oiled paper, and handed it to Ning Qing.

This is a new fruit cake made by lotus seeds.

After all the peanuts were used up, only one basket of dim sum was made, which was really too little.Lianzi went to the cellar to search, and saw that there were still a lot of preserved fruits left for her to eat, so she thought about making a fruit cake.

There are no fresh fruits at this time, but soaking preserved fruits is also good.

The cake is actually easy to make, just mix the dough with eggs and milk, add some sugar and oil, put it in a pot and steam it.The taste of it is no worse than the finely made ones she ate before.

Ning Qing thanked her, took out a piece of silver and handed it to Yang Shi.

"Oh, please don't," Yang hurriedly said, he was a great help, last time I was asking for a half-carload of snacks, but he gave 50 taels of silver, which is more than enough to buy the car and cattle, how can I pay for it? Do you need him to give you more money?

"The money I gave last time is enough. If you want to eat in the future, just come and get it." Yang said again.

Ning Qing was not too polite, she said "thank you", and was about to leave when Lianzi suddenly stopped her.

Lianzi left the booth, pulled Ning Qing aside, and asked him in a low voice, "Do you know which bank in this town is more reliable?"

Ning Qing has been in Cangshan Town since she was a child. Although her family is in the pharmaceutical industry, she is also a businessman. She should be familiar with the bank.

"Do you want to save money or do something else?" Ning Qing asked.

Lianzi blinked: "Save money, but it's not a lot." She laughed again.

"Then go to Hongtong Bank." He said.

"Okay", Lianzi nodded, what he said must be trustworthy.

This Hongtong Bank is a cooperative bank of the Ning Qing family. Its main store is located in the capital city, and this is just one of its branches.But in Cangshan Town, it is the biggest one.

"It's just," Lianzi said again, "how should I go? I can't find the way."

Ning Qing smiled slightly and asked, "When are you going?"

"Probably the sixth of next month."

"I'll wait for you here when the time comes." Ning Qing said again.

The sun shines on Ning Qing's hair through the thin morning mist, making him look as perfect as a marble statue.

Lianzi was moved a lot in her heart, for a god-like existence like him, who could be so friendly to her, helped her so much.She really wanted to know who said he was unreasonable and arrogant?That's not the case at all.

"Okay," Lianzi smiled, without hiding the joy on her face.

After saying a few more words, Ning Qing went back, and Lian Zi also returned to the booth.

"What are you talking about? You're still sneaking around." Yang asked.

Lianzi called Liu Jingren over, leaned into their ears and whispered, "I'll ask Ning Qing to contact us with a trustworthy bank. Let's deposit the extra money at the beginning of next month."

"What?" Yang asked in surprise.

Didn't she veto this matter at the time?Why is this girl making her own decisions and becoming disobedient?Isn't this nonsense?
