pastoral wife

Chapter 13 Your husband loves you
It's the morning market now, and the town is still quite lively, with people coming and going, Jiang Chu finds everything strange, looking around, following all the way without stopping, Ji Yao is familiar with the way She arrived at the back door of a restaurant.

Although the back door is small, it is very lively, many vegetable vendors are waiting to deliver vegetables, the manager saw Ji Yao at a glance, and came up to say hello: "I haven't seen you here for a few days."

Ji Yao handed over a large bag of mutton and rabbit meat: "They were all freshly hunted yesterday."

"It's not easy to hunt in the early spring. Yesterday I had a customer who insisted on eating wild goat meat. The domestic sheep were not willing to ask for it. I said, where can I get you whole wild goats in this season? Hey, I didn't expect it to be true." Only you have this ability!" The steward said with a smile, and took the meat to weigh it.

Only then did Jiang Chu realize that hunting is not so easy in this early spring weather, when it is warm and cold.

But Ji Yao not only hunted, but also pierced his throat with a sword.

With this skill, was he really just a bandit in the early years?That's probably a bit overkill.

"This wild goat meat is 120 catties, which is rare in season. I'll give you fifteen cents a catty, and the wild rabbit is eight catties, ten cents a catty. You think it's okay?" the manager said with a smile.

Ji Yao nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Chu's eyes lit up, and he counted with his fingers. He made a lot of money by cooperating with this trip!

"I didn't expect that hunting can make so much money. The goat skin is still hanging at home. If you sell it at a fur shop, it will cost two or three taels of silver!"

If so, she might as well go hunting to make money!
Ji Yao said: "Hunting is a job of luck after all. When there is prey, there is money. If there is no prey, there is no money. There are few wild animals in the back of our village, so it is not so easy to hunt."

"Okay." Jiang Chu was a little downcast, as expected, money is not so easy to earn.

Ji Yao suddenly brought over two steaming steamed buns.

Jiang Chu immediately smelled that it was stuffed with fresh meat!He took it happily: "Where did you get the buns?" The disappointment just now was swept away.

Ji Yao paid the steamed stuffed bun vendor four copper coins, and said coolly, "I picked it up." He lifted his foot and left.

Jiang Chu pouted, this man is really arrogant!But I was still happy in my heart, holding the steamed stuffed bun while gnawing and trotting to follow: "Don't you want to eat it? It's delicious, and it's stuffed with pork!"

Liang's embroidery was only sold for [-] Wen, which was just a few purses that she spent a month embroidering.

After Ji Yao finished handling the things, he was planning to go back, but he turned his head and glanced at the cheerful Jiang Chu who was gnawing on the buns, and then went to the pork shop to buy three catties of pork.

"Is there anything you want to buy?" Ji Yao asked her.

Jiang Chu wrapped the bun and looked at the pork, feeling that he was already satisfied, and shook his head happily: "No more."

I will go out with him next time!
"Go home." Ji Yao didn't go back the same way, but walked to the entrance of the town, where the carriages gathered, most of them were waiting to solicit customers.

Jiang Chu was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that we still go back in a carriage? It would be too expensive."

Ji Yao didn't speak, just took her directly into the car, and said to the driver, "Go to Pingshun Village."

The coachman said: "Pingshun Village is very remote, but I have to pay extra to go, maybe twenty Wen."

"Twenty Wen?! This is too expensive." Jiang Chu said in shock.

If you take a ride back to the village with the people in the village, it's only one penny per person!
Ji Yao directly threw twenty essays over: "Let's go."

The coachman took the money and replied with a smile, "Okay!"

Then he raised his whip and started driving.

Jiang Chu couldn't help muttering: "Twenty Wen, just going back home, is enough to buy three catties of pork, why not walk back."

Ji Yao gave her a cool look: "The pork is in your arms, you will not be missing."

The coachman outside smiled and said, "Little lady, it's because your husband-in-law loves you so much that he doesn't want you to walk. You are very lucky!"

Jiang Chu was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that on the way before, Ji Yao asked her if she was tired, that's why he spent a lot of money to hire a carriage when he went back?
This man is actually not that cold.

Entering the village in a horse-drawn carriage was really conspicuous. Jiang Chu had managed to get off the cusp these few days, and he didn't want to be the target of public criticism, so he told Ji Yao, got off the carriage not far outside the village, and walked into the village.

Ji Yao didn't object either, it was only a few steps away, and it saved a lot of trouble.

Jiang Chu thought about it all the way: "Actually, I think it's not worth spending twenty renminbi to go from our village to the town. Those who can really afford a ride, most of them can afford a carriage."

Seeing that she seemed to be very interested in this area, Ji Yao said, "But our village is remote after all, and he pulled us all the way here. On the way back, we can't meet people, and when we meet people, we can't afford to sit. Generally, we can only It takes time and effort to go back with an empty cart, and you have to raise the horses, so even if the coachman raises the price, he won’t be able to make much money.”

Jiang Chudao: "It's clear that there are many people who can't afford a carriage and can only walk back and forth. If we specialize in a carriage, we will charge one penny per person to go back and forth from our village to the town. A crowded carriage can accommodate about ten people. , then it’s ten Wen when you come here, and it’s also ten Wen when you go back, and you earn twenty Wen when you come and go.”

"But the carriage alone can earn [-] Wen."

Jiang Chu shook his head excitedly: "But the carriage runs alone, it depends on luck. If you are lucky, if you meet someone like you who spends twenty cents to go home, if you are not lucky, you will have no money. One penny Not at all, but if we do low-priced business and leave the bus at a fixed time every day, then there must be business every day, after all, there are quite a lot of people coming and going from the village to the town!"

Ji Yao felt that it made sense, so he didn't care about her saying that he had been taken advantage of: "So this business, do you want to do it?"

Jiang Chu was in high spirits: "Of course, everyone walked from the village to the town, spending more than half an hour on the road, and tired, who would not like to be able to go there by car for a penny! For us ordinary people, a horse-drawn carriage It is a luxury, but if the carriage becomes a bus, it will be a necessity!

As for the carriage, we don't have to buy it, we can rent it directly. I also inquired about the market at the carriage dealers in the town. If the carriage is rented for a whole day, it costs sixty yuan. One trip, you can earn back your capital! "

Although Ji Yao didn't understand what the meaning of the bus was, he still had a rough idea of ​​her train of thought: "You want to make money so much?"

She has been thinking of ways to make money all the way.

"Of course, who doesn't like money? If you have money, you can have meat every meal!" Jiang Chu said, hugging the three catties of pork in his arms even tighter.
