Begins with Zombie Daoist

Chapter 11 Chapter 019

Mao Xiaofang eats alone, Zhuo Bufan is not angry at all, although he makes money from catching ghosts and zombies, in fact, his savings are not as much as Zhuo Bufan's father, Yang Laoji.

Ma Xiaohai and Yu Dachu lived in Fuxitang, and they didn't have to pay a penny to eat and drink his food.Mao Xiaofang will donate medicine and medicine in the town every month, and buying talisman paper, cinnabar, ink fountain and other materials is also a large expenditure.No one would believe him when he said it, the dignified zombie said that Xiaofang with long hair was very poor.

Because Zhuo Bufan's injury was still not healed and Song Xiaoya was too young, the three of them walked very slowly.I ran into an acquaintance on the road, took a carriage, and returned to Gantian Town in less than two hours.

"Master, I won't go to Fuxitang with you, take Xiaoya home first."

Mao Xiaofang nodded, and said: "Come here early tomorrow, and I'll make a medicine for you. If you insist on soaking for a few days, your recovery time will be shortened."

"Thank you Master."

……

Zhuo Bufan pulled Song Xiaoya to the Zhenbei valley, passed the high wall, pushed open the double wooden doors, and said to Song Xiaoya: "Come in, this will be your home from now on."

Song Xiaoya showed a curious expression, and looked around with big black and white eyes. When she saw the kid in the sheep pen in the south, she ran over happily and lay on the side of the sheep pen to watch the lamb, and the lamb also looked at her quietly.

Zhuo Bufan showed a smile, and shouted towards the wooden house: "Father, I'm back."

"Afan!"

Yanglaoji ran out with a kitchen knife, there was still blood on the knife, Zhuo Bufan had a frightened expression on his face, "Father, did you kill someone?"

"Kill your head, what nonsense." Yang Laoji scolded with a smile, walked over to look at Zhuo Bufan, "You don't look good, what's wrong?"

"After driving for so long and hungry, of course his complexion is not good." Zhuo Bufan said with a smile.

"I haven't eaten yet, you wait, dad will make it for you..." Yanglaoji was about to go back to the house, when he saw Song Xiaoya standing nervously by the sheepfold from the corner of his eyes, his eyes lit up, "Whose girl is this, born very nice."

"Xiaoya, come here, meet our father." Zhuo Bufan shouted.

father!
Yanglaoji looked confused, "Afan, what are you doing?"

Zhuo Bufan sighed: "It's a long story..."

After listening to the adapted version and the tragic version of Song Xiaoya's life experience, Yanglaoji touched Song Xiaoya's head and said, "She is a poor child, okay, Xiaoya will live in our house. When she grows up, dad will arrange a marriage for you."

"Father, she is your daughter..." Zhuo Bufan reminded.

Yanglaoji stared, hating iron but not steel, said: "Usually she is very smart, but now she is stupid, such a handsome girl, her fat and water don't flow to outsiders, understand? Listen to Dad, that's right."

"Father, the Eighteenth Change of the Girl's University, you can't cheat me."

After Yang Laoji thought about it, he quickly changed his words and dragged Song Xiaoya into the house, "Xiaoya, dad will cook something delicious for you."

Zhuo Bufan couldn't help laughing, his face turned pale when he smiled, he held his chest for a while and didn't slow down.

……

After returning to Gantian Town for five days, most of Zhuo Bufan's injuries healed. It has to be said that Mao Xiaofang's medical skills are superb.

In the valley, Zhuo Bufan was squatting on the ground teaching Song Xiaoya to write, drawing with her little hand stroke by stroke on the ground.

"Song Xiaoya, do you know your name?"

Song Xiaoya nodded, and wrote three crooked characters on the ground with a wooden stick, which was exactly her name.

Zhuo Xiaoya!
Zhuo Bufan was stunned for a moment, and said: "I messed up my writing, it's Song, not Zhuo."

Song Xiaoya shook her head desperately, and wrote "Zhuo Xiaoya" again, Zhuo Bufan instantly understood what she meant.

"Then call her Zhuo Xiaoya."

Zhuo Xiaoya showed a sweet smile.At this time, Yang Laoji called Zhuo Bufan in the room, Zhuo Bufan replied, and said to Zhuo Xiaoya: "Father told me, you can practice by yourself."

Zhuo Xiaoya nodded and wrote seriously.

Zhuo Bufan got up and walked back to the house, and asked Yang Laoji: "Father, what do you want me to do? Herding sheep?"

"You don't need to let it go today. There is a sheep tied up alone in the sheepfold. You send it to Uncle Quan of Hexinglou. I weighed it, and it weighs 58 catties. I also agreed on the price with Uncle Quan. It is [-] cents per catty."

Hearing the price, Zhuo Bufan couldn't help but frown, "Father, last month it was [-] cents a catty. The price of rice and pork has risen. Why has the price of mutton dropped?"

Yanglaoji showed a helpless expression, "Mutton is expensive, and Hexinglou is much more expensive in Gantian Town. Mo Erniu's family raises the most sheep. In order to sell the sheep, he lowered the price. Of course Hexinglou bought it at a lower price." The price is low, there is no way, we have to follow suit."

Zhuo Bufan remained silent. Although the villagers in Gantian Town were rich, with convenient transportation and superior geographical location, they did not consume much of luxury goods such as mutton.There are four sheep raising households in Gantian Township, each of which raises dozens of sheep. The supply of mutton is greater than the demand, so the price will definitely drop, and even the number of sheep will be reduced.

The traffic in this era is extremely bad. Gantian Town is tens of kilometers away from Lingyun County, and more than 100 kilometers away from Tiannan Daozhi Baise. It is impractical to sell sheep into the county, and they are usually digested locally.

On the way to send the sheep, Zhuo Bufan has been thinking about countermeasures, and he has already found a way, but he has no money.

……

Hexing Building is the largest and best restaurant and teahouse in Gantian Town, where you can drink tea, eat and drink.

Just arrived at the entrance of Hexing Building, the youthful and beautiful Sixi with double ponytails was lying behind the counter and asked, "Yang Xiaoji, why are you here to deliver the sheep today?"

"My father is busy, Sixi, is Uncle Quan there?"

"Here, in the back kitchen, go in and find him yourself."

Zhuo Bufan has been to Hexing Building several times, and he knows the way, leading the sheep into the backyard.There is a yard behind, half of which is used as a kitchen, and the other half is used as a yard.

When he entered, Uncle Quan, the owner of Hexing Building, was helping Mo Erniu to weigh the sheep. It seemed that the weight was different, and Mo Erniu looked very unhappy.

"Uncle Quan." Zhuo Bufan shouted.

"Yang Xiaoji, are you here to deliver the sheep?" Seeing Zhuo Bufan, Quan Bo said to the angry Mo Erniu, and walked over quickly.He glanced at the sheep and said with a smile: "Yang Laoji's sheep are different, has your father weighed them?"

"Weighed it, 58 catties."

"Well, let's go over it again, if the difference is not big, it will be calculated as one catty and four corners."

Zhuo Bufan couldn't help but said: "Uncle Quan, the price is not right, my father said that he agreed with you, four cents a catty."

Quan Bo laughed and said: "Old calendar, Mo Erniu's sheep only cost four corners, which is a penny cheaper. Who do you think I should buy?"

The grandson!

Zhuo Bufan gritted his teeth angrily, rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Quan, the price of goods is going up now, don't you find it strange that Mo Erniu suddenly lowered the price of mutton?"

Uncle Quan frowned, "What do you mean?"

"His sheep are sick."

"Nonsense, I've seen it, it's alive and kicking..."

Zhuo Bufan sneered, "I saw it with my own eyes. His family killed two sheep yesterday. My father has raised sheep for decades and has never been so rich. Uncle Quan, if you don't believe me, ask him?"

The price of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea is increasing, but the price of mutton is falling. Uncle Quan doesn't know the situation of the four sheep raising households, so he is dubious. He also never thought that Zhuo Bufan would lie to him.

So he tilted his head and asked, "Mo Erniu, I heard that your family killed two sheep yesterday?"

Mo Erniu was taken aback, "Kill it, it's none of your business, hurry up, don't be silly, I'm going back to herd the sheep."

Uncle Quan was very angry, and said angrily: "I don't want your sheep anymore, take them back."

"I sent everything here, don't you want it? Uncle Quan, do you have to be honest when doing business?" Mo Erniu was also angry.

"you go."

"Don't ask for it." Mo Erniu cursed and led the sheep away.

Zhuo Bufan said to Uncle Quan with a serious face: "Uncle Quan, my sheep is one catty and four corners, do you still want it, or do you want me to take it back?"

The corner of Uncle Quan's mouth twitched vigorously, "One is not enough, you go back and have a look, and send another one if it weighs more than [-] catties."
