Chapter 49
As usual, there are still two people with one plow, one person pulls and one person supports, and it is extremely difficult.
But Lu's food is good, and everyone thinks about the harvest in autumn and planting vegetables in winter, and they all feel that the days are busy, so naturally they don't feel tired.
Occasionally, Xiaomi stood on the ridge and frowned when he saw that almost all the young and strong in Laoxiongling had gathered in his field, just to raise ridges for the [-] acres of dry land.
If it were in the previous life, a four-wheeled agricultural vehicle could even handle planting and farming. Unfortunately, the productivity here is still too backward.
The most important thing is that she has never studied machinery, and she is completely incapable of doing cheat plots where machinery changes the times.Therefore, she could only find the most stupid and practical method.
At the beginning, when the old dean took their children to open up wasteland to grow vegetables and food, the farmers in the nearby town saw it and came to help.
She remembered that the man was driving the horse and pulling the plow stick. The horse was very docile, and the middle of the plow stick was bent like a bow. Compared with the clumsy guy who went straight here, it seemed lighter and less laborious when breaking through the soil layer.
Perhaps this is worth pondering.
After dinner in the evening, it was another day when women gathered to do needlework.Xiaomi didn't take part in the short gossips of their parents, so he drew and drew again and again, and finally asked Aunt Liu to bring the drawings back to Uncle Liu when she returned.
As a result, as soon as Boss Lu opened the courtyard door early the next morning, he saw Uncle Liu waiting outside with dew on his hair. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a while.
Boss Lu was taken aback, "Uncle Liu, what's your hurry? Why didn't you knock on the door?"
"No hurry, no hurry!" Uncle Liu rubbed his hands honestly, and finally carefully took out two blueprints from his arms, "I'm here to ask Xiaomi a few words, there is something I don't understand about this blueprint."
"Then get inside!"
Xiaomi just finished grooming and came out of the backyard. He was surprised to see Uncle Liu come so early.Waiting to hear him talk about the reason, she blushed a little. She had seen it in the previous life and found it simple. Uncle Liu had to imagine it out of thin air, how could he make it just by looking at the blueprint.
Thinking in this way, she let Uncle Liu into the house, then quickly made breakfast, left Uncle Liu to eat breakfast, wiped the table clean at the end, and explained to Uncle Liu little by little.
With the two of them looking like this, everyone naturally knew that Xiaomi was thinking about something new.
Father Lu always ignored his daughter, took his books to watch the naughty children read, and as usual, Boss Lu went down the mountain.Feng Jian's master and servants were left around the table, and Xiaomi suddenly felt Alexander.
"I'm just figuring it out, and it may not be easy to use. I just ask Uncle Liu to try it out first."
Lao Yang smiled and said nothing, but he was full of slander in his heart. Ever since he came to Lu's house, none of the things Lu Xiaomi thought about was for fun, or for making money, or for practical use.If he didn't believe in religion, he might have believed that this girl was the legendary wise saint who descended to earth.
Feng Jian was also spoiled with a smile, and comforted, "Don't be afraid, let's see after making it."
Uncle Liu finally understood every detail of the drawing, said hello in a hurry, and went home.
Leaving Xiaomi to think for a while, he still said, "Even if the new plow sticks don't work well, the family will have to buy a few horses to support the cattle. It's not easy for the villagers to run around with the plow sticks!"
"Into the city?"
Feng Jian raised the corners of her lips faintly, and sure enough, Xiaomi immediately responded with a smile, "Okay, okay!"
Lao Yang couldn't help laughing, "I'll call Gao Ren, you can come back later, I'm at home."
Hearing this, Xiaomi felt awkward, like an elder encouraging a young child to date.
She blushed and quickly covered it up, "Then I'll go change my clothes!"
The fabrics sent by the Chen family had already been cut and sewn by the skillful women.
The ones on Xiaomi and Feng Jian were both made by Gui Zhier's sister-in-law, and they fit the most exquisitely.
Xiaomi was wearing a sky-blue double-breasted shirt. The cuffs and front of the shirt were not embroidered with any color. Instead, they were embroidered with two small yellow kingfishers, with black eyes and a dark red beak, vividly embroidered.Underneath is an ivory pleated skirt, with small peach blossoms embroidered on the corners of the skirt, which makes her a little more girly and soft, yet cute.
Feng Jian was wearing a royal blue satin gown with white cuffs turned out, and the collar and placket were inlaid with gold fringes.He was already tall and straight, with an extraordinary bearing, so tidy and tidy, he was even more plump and handsome, and Xiaomi blushed at the sight.
The two were about to enter the city happily, but Cheng Yaojin came out halfway.
Father Lu was probably in a hurry to urinate, so he ordered the naughty children to write in big characters. When he came out, he saw his daughter dressed up like this, and heard that she was going to buy horses at the horse market outside the city, so he shook his head like a rattle.
"No, you absolutely can't go! The horse market is full of dragons and snakes, stealing and kidnapping, what are you going to do with a girl's house. If you are bullied by others and your reputation is ruined, it will be too late to regret it."
Millet was like an eggplant beaten by frost in autumn, and suddenly withered.
She only cared about going out for a "date" with Feng Jian, but forgot many rules of this time and space.
Feng Jian couldn't see how pitiful she looked, so she asked to help intercede.
"Uncle Lu, with me by my side, Xiaomi won't be bullied."
Gao Ren also slapped his chest, "Someone bullies Xiaomi, I'll slap him to death!"
But Father Lu still didn't let go. Once he went to the city and heard that a woman was groped by a hooligan in the market. When he returned home, he couldn't bear the neighbor's pointing and ridicule, and he hanged himself within a few days.
Even though Feng Jian and Gao Ren are both strong in martial arts, no one can guarantee that accidents will happen, and he doesn't want anything to happen to his daughter.
Seeing that his father was so persistent, Xiaomi was also a little discouraged, but then he thought of a good way.
"Father, why don't I change into men's clothes and go again? This time, the family will buy a few horses. I don't feel at ease if I don't watch the selection with my own eyes."
Father Lu frowned, but didn't say anything.
Xiaomi quickly continued to work hard, "More, I plan to buy someone to come back to help me with rough work. I can't do the laundry and cooking by myself on weekdays."
Father Lu was still a little hesitant at first, but after hearing this and looking at his daughter's small body, he felt a little guilty.
There is only one daughter in the Lu family, Xiaomi, and the rest are rough old men, who can do well in chopping firewood and carrying water, but the delicate work of cooking and washing has to fall on the daughter.She is only 14 years old, it is indeed a bit too hard...
"Then go early and return early, and you are not allowed to wander around."
"Okay, dad, don't worry, I promise to come back when I'm done."
The willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and Xiaomi jumps up happily.But the family couldn't find suitable thin men's clothes, so in desperation, they had to go to the village to borrow a set.
It was already half an hour after they finally left the village entrance.
Xiaomi let out a long breath, patted his chest, and finally pretended to be an old man stroking his beard, and said in a low voice, "I'm scared to death, it's really not easy to go out!"
Everyone laughed when they heard it, and Gao Ren was lying in the carriage and rolling around. Feng Jian raised his hand and patted Xiaomi's black hair, "I'll buy a set of men's clothes for a while, I'm afraid I will wear them often in the future."
Xiaomi nodded with a smile, took off her dress and changed into men's underwear, it was indeed much easier to move around.
Perhaps the two old horses also knew that they were going to add brothers to them today, so they walked briskly, and they arrived outside the city before they knew it.
Gao Ren looked at the carriage, Xiaomi and Feng Jian went into the city to buy a set of clothes, and when they were able to find Gao Ren, they went to the cattle and horse market half a mile north of the city.
It is said to be a market, but it is actually just a wide and flat place. An open-air market was built, and a circle of straw sheds was built around the market to shade the sun on sunny days and shelter from rain on rainy days.The government sent small officials to guard the entrance of the market, and set up tables and tea sets. No matter who it was, anyone who wanted to lead the cows and horses out would have to pay a cattle and horse tax.Of course, farm cattle are precious, and there are very few trades, and most of the people who go out from here are horses.
Xiaomi was sandwiched between Feng Jian and Gao Ren, walking around the market was an eye-opener.
Anzhou is located in the north of Dayuan, bordering Xijiang on the west, and the White Grassland on the north. It is a good place to produce horses.
Now is the good time of spring, and there are many people traveling, so the horse dealer seized the opportunity and sent many good horses.
At first, Xiaomi only looked at the tall horses with shining eyes, but after standing outside the crowd and listening to a few gossips, he gained experience and began to search for those short, strong and gentle mares.
Feng Jian knew horses. When she first saw Xiaomi happy, she didn't say much. Now that she woke up, she didn't need to speak.
For the time being, no one in Dayuan is as "whimsical" as Xiaomi, planning to use horses to pull plows, so most of the dwarf mares will be sold to women.
But in this day and age, how many women can ride a horse and show off despite the eyes and pointers of everyone.Therefore, there are not many in the whole market.
Xiaomi searched and searched, and finally saw four or five mares in a corner of the market. He was so happy that he forgot how to buy and sell. He stepped forward and asked directly, "How do you sell this horse? What's the price if you buy more?"
The horse dealer was eating meatloaf, maybe the taste was not good, his brows were furrowed, seeing that Xiaomi was wearing coarse clothes and Feng Jian was wearing a brocade robe behind him, so he thought she was a servant.
So, he jumped up after throwing the meatloaf, squinted his eyes, hid his clothes, and greeted with a smile, "Ah, does this young man want to buy a horse? Not to show off to you, these horses are from Xijiang. They came here, decent Yunnan horses, the most docile and powerful, most suitable for the wife and lady at home to ride. What about the price, other houses are 20 taels, and here I only need 18 taels of silver."
Xiaomi raised his eyebrows, just now he clearly heard that such a horse only costs 15 taels.Apparently, the horse dealer saw that she wanted to buy it, and he deliberately cheated a good fortune.
Naturally, she is not easy to bully, how many girls in the previous life can't bargain.One hundred jeans, she once killed eighteen, and the horse dealer really didn't pay attention to this small-mindedness.
"18 taels, the one just now only cost 15 taels. Why don't I go back and ask, if I buy four or five horses, it will definitely be cheaper."
When Xiaomi said this, he turned around and wanted to leave. Feng Jian and Gao Ren followed with a smile, leaving the horse dealer a little dumbfounded.
The slaves have always served the masters, when did they become the masters and serve as servants for the servants...
"Hey, hey, little brother, don't go, everything is negotiable, negotiable!"
The horse dealer hurriedly stopped them, and at the end of the day, he stopped the three of Xiaomi and did not dare to play tricks. To tell the truth, "I drove 13 horses in this batch, and sold all the others. There are only a few horses left." Pony. Why don’t you sell it to the little brother for 52 taels per horse, and [-] taels for four horses, how about it?”
"With another change, 50 taels is about the same."
