The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 23 Bringing the jars home
When Chu Ying woke up, the sun was already high. I don't know if it was because I was too tired these days or because I drank a few glasses of wine yesterday, but I couldn't remember how I got home. Looking at the copper coins by the bed, all the symptoms of headache and weakness disappeared.

Chu Ying was as careful as she was holding her newborn baby while holding the two strings of money. Although she couldn't kill pigs in the future, it was enough to earn so much money. How much money do you have in total? If you have more, you can buy some cloth and make some clothes.

I only have 6 sets of autumn clothes and 2 sets of winter clothes, and one of the two sets of winter clothes is thin. Chu Ying has no choice but to change if she gets dirty, so she always wears the autumn clothes over the winter clothes, and washes them directly when they are dirty Qiuyi is just fine.

楚樱把床底下的陶罐移出来，把里面的钱都拿出来，楚樱觉得数数钱就什么烦恼都没有了。上次赶集回来还剩171文，加上家里的5钱和这几日杀猪赚的1两80文总共是1两7钱51文。

Chu Ying finally let go of her gripping heart. The taxes on those lands can finally be paid. After paying the taxes, she still has 7 cents and 51 cash. She can add a few sets of winter clothes for herself. If there are more, Chu Ying wants to buy some Kitchen knives, although I can use small stone knives every day, I can only use stone axes when encountering bones, and I can use them all for a meal.

Chu Ying put the money away, she can't go to the city today, the dirty clothes from the past few days are all piled up in the tub, and if she doesn't wash them, she won't be able to wear them.And the chestnut powder has to be ground quickly, otherwise it will be too bad.

Chu Ying soaked the chestnut powder she ground last time in hot water, and ate it with a small wooden spoon she made herself. It was a bit sweet, and she was very hungry, but she couldn’t eat too much. If she ate too much raw, it was difficult to digest. stomach.

Chu Ying put the plant ashes taken out from the stove into the wooden basin, added water, stirred it well and let it stand for a while, then poured the relatively clear water from the top into the clay pot, then poured out the slag in the wooden basin, put clothes and The grass, trees and gray water began to rub the clothes.

The women in the village went to the lake to wash, but their homes were too far away from the lake, and there was a well in front of their house, so they all washed at home.The people watching the land at the beginning probably dug the well because the lake was too far away, but it is a blessing for future generations.

"Chu Ying, Chu Ying, Sun Wu's house in Sunjiazhuang makes pottery pots. There are many things that cannot be sold and cannot be returned. It is almost Chinese New Year, and it is much cheaper to buy now. Do you want to go and have a look?" Chu Ying sat in the small Watching Aunt Wang shouting at the intersection from the bench, Chu Ying could still hear her clearly despite the distance.

"Okay. I'll go and have a look." Chu Ying soaked the clothes in the wooden basin, took a string of money to clean up, and went to Sunjiazhuang with Aunt Wang.

Chu Ying thought that the neighboring village would not be far away, but it was almost noon, and it hadn't arrived yet. "Hurry up, hurry up." Chu Ying no longer believed Aunt Wang's words. Aunt Wang had been saying sooner than later. Chu Ying's physique was relatively weak. Although she has been exercising recently, her essence is still relatively Weak, I can't bear it after walking such a long distance.

Aunt Wang was used to farm work, so her steps were naturally light and durable, and she continued to walk while holding Chu Ying's hand.

Chu Ying remembered that she had been punished by the squad leader to run 10 kilometers with an obstacle for stealing spicy chicken, but she was not as tired as she is now. Only when you exercise well can you enter the mountain.

"Look at the flag in front of you." Chu Ying looked at a red flag floating in the distance, and finally she felt confident. Walking was not as strenuous as before, and she thought she could take a rest when she got there.

Aunt Wang wiped Chu Ying's sweat, looked at Chu Ying who was panting and blushing, and felt a little guilty. She originally thought that there were cheap goods here to bring Chu Ying to shop, and seeing that Chu Ying was in good health recently, she still felt guilty. Went to slaughter pigs with Han Da, but the 20-mile journey exhausted Chu Ying.

"Hey, Aunt Wang, you are here again. Who is this little doll? Come and drink some water." Chu Ying took the water that was handed to her, and instead of gulping it down, she swallowed it little by little.

"Didn't I buy some clay pots at your house last year? The price is right, so I'll come and see it this year."

"Yes, in the house over there. Let's go after resting." The boss of Taofang is a master in his early 30s, with a thin body and no strong physique, which is a little different from the boss of Taofang that Chu Ying thought.

Chu Ying looked at the kiln next to it, which had not been fired for some days and had accumulated ash. "As long as you, a regular customer, remember, if we can't sell these, we will sell them to grocery stores in the city at a low price. The money for the Chinese New Year is still in these clay pots."

"Isn't that right, but it's too far away for you, if you get closer, the business will be better." Sun Wu built the kiln here at the beginning because there was enough firewood in the woods behind, and there was a small stream in front, and there was also a source of water. But it is far away from the more popular villages.

After resting, Sun Wu took Chu Ying and Aunt Wang to the backyard to look at the piles of clay pots.Chu Ying saw that these clay pots were all good and complete, with some holes and broken bottoms in the corners, and further inside were larger water tanks and other utensils.

"Is this clay pot still worth 10 Wen?"

"Yes, you are a regular customer now, so I won't tell you such nonsense. The material is thick and not easy to break, and it's all new." Aunt Wang looked at the clay pots of different sizes and different uses, while Chu Ying was more concerned about those broken pots. Understand

"Shopkeeper, can I give it away if I buy too much? We can't move it."

"Okay, I'll take you back then."

"How much money are these water tanks?"

"The big water tank costs 80 renminbi each, and the small water tank costs 60 renminbi each." Chu Ying saw that the water tank, which was bigger than what she saw at the market, was cheaper than the 1 renminbi at the market, and it was indeed a good deal.

"I want one large water tank and two small water tanks. Do you have a wooden cover for this water tank?"

"Yes, there are all of them." Sun Wu was very happy to hear that Chu Ying wanted to buy a water tank. Most people have water tanks.

"Shopkeeper, you can ask the bullock cart driver to bring someone here, and one person will give it a few pennies, and those who want to buy can come without paying, and the things here are good and cheap, and you can always sell them for a couple of dollars." Those papers can be taken back." Sun Wu looked at Chu Ying, who was slightly taller than his waist, and slowly told himself such a good idea.

It doesn't matter if you let the bullock cart driver to help you promote yourself, although it costs a little money, it doesn't matter if you can sell it. "It's a great idea of ​​yours. I'll give you these cheaper, how about charging you 1 yuan and 80 Wen?"

"It doesn't need to be cheap, just give me those broken pots of yours." Sun Wu looked at the defective products that Chu Ying pointed out. These were the ones he planned to smash, and they couldn't be sold for much with such quality.

"Okay, you can take all of these." Although they are defective products, there are a large number of them, and some of them can still be used if the gaps are filled with mud or cut off.

Chu Ying picked out more than 40 available ones. "That's all." Sun Wu saw that Chu Ying's choice was still usable, and it seemed that the kid had planned it long ago.

"Wrap these up." Chu Ying saw that several workers used hemp rope to wrap the clay pots one by one and then stacked them together, so that there would be no trouble if bumps along the way.

Chu Ying knew that Sun Wu was a smart person, otherwise he wouldn't have sold it at a low price to get back the funds, so the clay pot sellers in the city planned to keep selling under pressure.Chu Ying didn't say any more, she gave this idea thinking that Sun Wu would figure it out by herself.

"I only brought 1 yuan, anyway, I have to send it back, so I can give it to the coachman then."

"Okay, Ah Qi, let's take the two of you home, everything is already tied up." After Chu Ying drank some tea, they had already loaded the car, and the speed was really fast.

"Chu Ying, thanks to you, auntie, your little brain is quite useful." The cart was already full of things, and Chu Ying and Aunt Wang sat on the left and right of Ah Qi.

"It's my mother's blessing." Chu Ying looked at the pots pushed up high behind her, and she felt so happy, so many pots had to be repaired by herself when she went back.
