The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 116 Selling Vegetables (4)
Liu Jiacheng comforted: "It's okay, we still have time, and there will be more people when we get to the town."

The two walked for a while and saw someone selling cattle on the side of the road. She thought for a while, next spring, she would definitely need cattle to plow the fields, which would save a lot of manpower.

"Jiacheng, why don't we ask how to sell this cow?" Li Caiwei patted her head, she must have no money to buy the cow for the time being, and said in frustration, "I still don't want to buy it, and I can't afford that much money for the time being."

Liu Jiacheng took her hand and walked up to the old man who bought the cow, "Old man, I want to ask how much this cow costs?"

The old man raised his hand, and Liu Jiacheng nodded, "Old man, we bought this cow, do you think it can be cheaper?"

Although it is a medium-sized cow, it should be able to work in the fields until March or April next year.But 50 taels of silver is too expensive.

"Old man, you see you are so kind, and it's almost Chinese New Year, can you give us a little bit cheaper?"

The old man showed a toothless smile, narrowed his wrinkled eyes, and said cheerfully, "Then give me 20 taels."

Li Caiwei was so happy that she took out a recruitment notice in her hand, "Old man, because I came out today because I was smart, I didn't bring enough silver. Later we have to go to the town to recruit people. I will give you a recruitment notice. Can you follow the instructions above?" address, when the time comes, I will give you an additional [-] Wen as travel expenses."

The old man took the paper and looked at it, it was from Liujia Village, signed by Liu Jiacheng. "This family is incredible. They have a scholar who married a daughter-in-law who can earn money. Everyone in this family knows about it."

Li Caiwei pointed to herself, "Old man, I am that daughter-in-law."

The old man ouched, "Girl, you are amazing." "Old man, do you have a son in your family? My family is hiring people to work."

"There is a daughter in my family who just turned 16 years old. She told her about many families, but she didn't like any of them. Relatives finally introduced a nice young man, but the young man disliked her. The child's mother just gave birth to her I went there in a few years. For these years, my daughter has been helping at home, can cook and work, but she is honest, and she is afraid that I will be left alone after marriage..." The old man is an honest and honest person, and the daughter must be good .

"Old man, can we meet your daughter?"

"Yes, I'm just afraid that my girl will be angry."

"Old man, your daughter is afraid of the matchmaker."

"There are several good boys in the village who have taken a fancy to my girl, but my daughter just doesn't want to. I also understand that the girl is afraid of me being alone, but my daughter has to marry out."

The old man was a little bit blaming his daughter for being ignorant, but in his words was a deep sense of pride for raising such a filial daughter.

During the conversation, the old man pointed to a blue house and said, "That's my house."

The old man took them to the house, "Sit down first, I'll put the cows in the pen."

Li Caiwei took a look at the old man's house, it was a blue brick house, it could be seen that the old man's house was in a good financial situation.The house is neatly tidy, everything is spotless, and the care of the owner can be seen.

As I was looking around, I saw a girl carrying a bamboo basket, wearing a floral padded jacket, cotton shoes, and two braids. She was not afraid to see guests coming, "Hey, let's go, I won't marry."

The old man came back from the cattle pen, saw his daughter came back, and said happily, "Hongling, you can pour two cups of boiling water for the guests."

Hong Ling quickly put down the basket, took two cups, poured two cups of boiling water, and handed them to her and Liu Jiacheng.

Li Caiwei looked at her carefully, and saw that she had an oval face, eyebrows like willow leaves, red lips and white teeth, and she was quite pretty.

Su Hongling was a little unhappy seeing the guests keep looking at her, "Father, don't let strangers come to your house from now on. As I said, if I don't marry, my daughter will stay by your side for the rest of my life."

The old man was a little anxious, "Hongling, you are not young anymore, daddy still has a few years to live, don't be so stupid."

"Hong Ling, do you have a sweetheart?"

According to her experience, girls are so determined, it must be because of men, this Hong Ling has just turned 16, so she must have a crush.

Su Hongling blushed instantly, her mind was exposed by someone, which made her feel ashamed.Immediately said displeased: "Hurry up and go."

"Hongling, we are both girls. I can understand many things on your mind. If you don't mind, you can talk to me. Maybe I can give you some advice."

Su Hongling was ashamed to tell others about this kind of thing, but she never thought that there was someone who understood her so well, so she asked, "Really?"

"of course it's true."

Su Hongling took her to his room and told her thoughts one by one. Sure enough, she was guessed by herself, and she had a sweetheart.

"Hong Ling, do you know the name of that young man?"

Su Hongling shook her head, "But I know where she is."

"You said, if you find that person, I can help you tell him what you want."

Su Hongling tugged at her braid, her eyes showed a bit of disappointment, her expression drooped obviously, "He probably doesn't like me."

"Hongling, you look good and have confidence in yourself, where do you think he is from?"

"From Liu Family Village."

Li Caiwei nodded, "Then have you seen him?"

"I saw it once."

"Remember what he looked like?"

Speaking of the sweetheart, just now he had an attitude of rejecting others thousands of miles away, but now he has become a gentle little woman. "Ok."

"Describe it, I am very familiar with Liujiacun, maybe I know the person you mentioned."

"But people will definitely look down on me."

"Hongling, when you rejected me just now, you were very confident and attractive. You were good-looking and hardworking. Which man wouldn't like it?"

"Really?" A gleam of hope ignited in Hong Ling's heart, but girls' natural desire for face made her hesitate, but she didn't want to miss it, even though it was only a short-lived side.So he described the appearance of his sweetheart one by one.

Li Caiwei nodded. Hearing the description to coax Ling, she felt excited, but she could only bear it for the time being, and immediately thought of a way, "Hong Ling, I may know this person, but I'm not sure. If it's really that person, I think she will like you. But you have to do as I tell you."

Hongling's eyes showed surprise and excitement never seen before, "Really!"

"Ah."

So the two discussed it for a while, because they still had to rush to recruit people, and after negotiating with the old man, they rushed to the town immediately.

There are a lot of people in the town, especially at this time, many peasant women who can't make it through the year because they have no money will gather here to wait to be selected to work, especially some rich families who recruit rough envoys and so on.
