Great Lawyer

Chapter 147
"Brother Carrot...wow..." Tieniu cried.

"It's Brother Nine's son, Brother Nine is here."

"Let's rest for a while and go pick up Brother Jiu."

"Brother Nine." "Brother Silver Hand." "Uncle Silver Hand." "Brother Carrot."

For a while, various titles popped up in the mountains, miscellaneous but each one was full of excitement.

"How are you doing recently? Why do I see you getting fatter?" Du Jiuyan looked at Liu Daquan, "Is the food too good?"

Liu Daquan laughed, and said: "Sis Lu came, she cooked meat for us every once in a while. Yesterday Yinshou went into the mountains to hunt a pig, and we ate a pig in one day. The meat was roasted, which is really good." It's very fragrant."

"Mr. Du." Fourth Lu also came out from behind. Du Jiuyan looked at him. He was tanned a lot, but he was much stronger. He was still naked in this weather, and tendons began to appear on his arms.

The whole person is also full of vigor, with the vitality of a man in his thirties, and he is no longer listless and listless.

"Not bad." Du Jiuyan looked at Lao Si Lu, "But you are weaker than them, don't be brave at first, don't hurt your waist."

Lu Lao Si smiled and said: "Brother Daquan and the big guys take good care of me, and don't let me do heavy work. I am actually very strong, and everyone doesn't believe it."

"Fourth brother Lu, you are so strong, you can't lift a single stone, it's not as strong as a black head."

Heitou let out a hey, and said, "Why did you bring me here? I'm worse than any of you. If you don't believe me, come and compete."

Everyone is in high spirits, even more lively than the New Year.

"Don't get stuck, Brother Nine, Mr. Chen, and the lame master are all tired on the road, go inside and rest soon." Liu Daquan said as he walked, "Brother Nine, we built three more rooms when we were free. One room is for Fourth Brother Lu's family, and the other two rooms are reserved for you."

"Thank you for your hard work. I don't come here often. Why don't you build me a house?"

Shopkeeper Jiang came out to greet him, cupped his hands with Du Jiuyan and the others, and said with a smile, "Brother Jiu is going to stay for a few days? Tomorrow will be the time for us to hand in the trip. When that time comes, our first transaction will be officially completed." .”

"Isn't it 20 days? The construction period has been delayed?" Du Jiuyan and shopkeeper Jiang were talking while walking.

Shopkeeper Jiang replied, "I took the horseshoe away in the middle, but the tripod said it was too heavy, so I didn't take it." Then he pointed to the flat ground outside the refining room, "That's the thing."

A square tripod with a cover and ears, with a big belly, enough to fit six grown men inside.

"It's too big." Du Jiuyan went over to knock on it. Although the pattern wasn't particularly attractive, the tripod was fine. "The craftsmanship is really good."

Shopkeeper Jiang said: "Recently, half of the people have put aside other things and spent all their time on this. As far as the cost is concerned, the villain estimated that there must be at least 2000 taels of silver."

"How much?" Chen Lang asked.

Shopkeeper Jiang cupped his hands and replied: "The price was 200 taels, and the other party returned 200 taels."

"It's not bad. There are a few such orders a year, and we can slowly build a house next year. Anyway, we don't need manpower and stones."

Everyone followed her and said in a hurry: "Ninth brother, we even thought of the name of our village, we call it Yancun."

"It's a good name, simple." Du Jiuyan said with a smile, "Should we also elect the head of the village?"

Everyone laughed, and the black head said: "Ninth brother, if you come to live, you will be the head of the village, if you don't come, the head of the village will be Brother Da Daquan."

"Success, let Da Da Dao be the head of the village first, and when I can no longer hang around outside, I will come back to be the head of the village." Du Jiuyan said with a smile.

Everyone surrounded her to go to her place, Du Jiuyan stood at the door and watched, feeling a touch of emotion in her heart.

The house is built of stone, a room, the door is a wooden clothes hanger, inside is an earthen kang, covered with new blue bedding, I don’t know how many times it has been exposed to the sun, it is soft and fluffy. aroma.

Near the innermost corner, there is also a wardrobe, which is also newly made.

"Do you like it?" Liu Daquan said: "Sister-in-law Lu chose the quilt, and she also sewed it. It took a few days. The cotton is freshly spun, so it's soft."

Du Jiuyan nodded and said, "That's right, they are all capable people."

Everyone laughed.

"Lame lame and I will go hunting in a while, and then I will find someone to buy wine. I will treat you tonight, let's have a drink." Du Jiuyan said.

Everyone yelled, and the black head said: "I'm going to buy wine."

"I'll cook some vegetables." The fat man said.

Guixiang stood behind the men's pile, looked at Du Jiuyan shyly, and rubbed her hands together, "Sir, the quilts have been washed and dried. If you feel cold at night, I will burn the kang for you."

"No, a quilt is enough in this weather." Du Jiuyan looked for Tieniu, "Are you still used to it after coming here? Keep an eye on him and don't run around. They are all stones, and they will be knocked down."

Gui Xiang nodded, "You guys are watching, I built a wall for the two children, they stayed inside to play when we went to work, bought a bunch of food and play, and slept inside when they were tired, it's very good .”

"It's pretty good." There is no other way now, but wait until there are more children in the future, and then invite a husband or build a school or something.

Don't worry, the two children are still young, and there is still time for them to start reading at the age of seven or eight.

They still have time to prepare slowly.

"Where are people?" Du Jiuyan just remembered that the children were gone, and Liu Daquan said, "I went to play with Brother Yinshou. It seems that I went to Mr. Jiang's room."

Mr. Jiang is the shopkeeper as well as the accountant. Yanshan’s daily expenses come from him. He has an account book, and every transaction is clearly recorded on it.

"The purpose of his coming is to check the accounts." Chen Lang whispered: "You are here, I will go over and have a look."

Du Jiuyan really had no eyes to see his son.

Chen Lang was in a good mood to find Xiaoluobo, and as soon as he entered, he saw Silver Hand leading the team, Naoer, Huazi, Xiaoluobo, and two Tie Niu brothers who were chattering, surrounded by several children. At the edge of the shopkeeper Jiang's table, after turning over a page of the account, he nodded and read it, and discussed it again.

"This is the general ledger, and only part of the money has been taken." Little Luobo understood, "This is the money for going out every day, for everyone to buy clothes when they eat and get sick."

Yinshou nodded, "Yes. Uncle Buffalo kicked his foot a few days ago. We carried him to the city to find a doctor. We spent two taels of silver and recorded the shopkeeper on it."

"It's very clear." Huazi posted it on it and looked at it. "It's a lot of money to eat a day. It costs four taels of silver."

Yin Shou said: "We have ninety people now, and we don't need so much money a day. This is why I went to the mountains to hunt and eat meat. If I buy pork, I get a pig a day."

"My God." Xiaoluo frowned, and looked back at Chen Lang, "Sir, can I raise chickens here?"

Chen Lang walked over, and everyone showed him the account books.

"With so many people, the cost is not too much." Chen Lang put down the account book, nodded and said, "It is possible to raise chickens and pigs. There is no vegetation in Yanshan Mountain, but I think the mountain next door is very good."

Little Luobo laughed, and said to Yinshou: "Uncle Yinshou, raise some chickens and eggs."

Yinshou nodded, "Success, I will discuss with shopkeeper Jiang later to raise a hundred chickens."

"Keep less, the weather is cold, and the chicks are easy to freeze to death." Chen Lang said.

Everyone chattered about what to raise in the room, which could save money and keep everyone from eating meat.

In the afternoon, Du Jiuyan, the lame man, and Liu Daquan went into the mountains to hunt a wild boar, four rabbits and three pheasants, and when they came back, they built a fire. The whole chicken is wrapped in mud and buried under the fire to bake the golden crispy.

Rabbit meat with mushrooms and peppers from the mountains, stir-fried and stewed for two servings.

When Heitou bought four big tanks of wine and came back, Little Luobo asked, "How much is this wine?"

"It's only two taels of silver for a jar, which is still cheap for us." Heitou said, "Four jars of silver and six taels of silver."

Little Carrot asked Chen Lang again, "Sir, is it troublesome to make wine?"

"It's really troublesome to have food." Chen Lang said patiently.

Little Carrot let out an oh, and sat on the stone platform with his chin resting on his back, staring at the flames in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?" Yinshou squatted in front of him, "You look so preoccupied."

Little Luobo hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm thinking, how can we save costs and make everyone happy."

"This question is very profound." Silver Hand was immediately defeated, "Think about it slowly, I'm going to eat meat."

Little Carrot's eyes lit up, "I want to eat it too."

"That's right, a child should look like a child." Yin led him to eat meat.

In the evening, Du Jiuyan got a little dizzy from drinking, and fell asleep with Xiaoluobu until noon. When she woke up, everyone was already working, and lunch was almost ready. She felt a little embarrassed, got up after washing, and stood on the top of the hill.

When everyone greeted her, Du Jiuyan waved his head, feeling that he had become an idler again.

"Is the person who picked up the goods here?" Du Jiuyan asked when he saw Jiang's shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Jiang shook his head, "According to reason, it should be here, otherwise they won't be able to get the tripod out today."

"A merchant from Shandong, where is he going to send his tripod?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Shopkeeper Jiang replied: "He said that the tripod will be transported to Qingshan Taoist Temple outside Baoqing City. I have been there, and it is not too far away."

A businessman from Shandong... Du Jiuyan felt a little strange, "Is he selling it to a Taoist temple, or donating it?"

"He said it was for sale!" Shopkeeper Jiang said.

Merchants come to Xinhua to buy tripods, and walk hundreds of miles to Baoqing.Du Jiuyan feels that it is almost impossible to be separated from someone who is making trouble and finding fault, and the other party is either cheating money or letting you be fooled and suffer losses.

It would be fine if it was a horseshoe, but this weird tripod can only be regarded as a family heirloom of Yanshan.

　Carrots take a lot of brains.
