Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 114

They all said that wealth should not be exposed, Erxi and the others surrounded Qian Feng, and Qian Feng said in a low-key way: "I didn't make much money, I just bought some New Year's goods for everyone to take home, and each of them sent two hundred Wen."

As for the fact that he had to stockpile a month's worth of food, and that he would have seven pennies left over after buying the food, he didn't say anything about it.

In fact, he had to spend some of the money he earned to buy more than a dozen sets of tools for sharpening stone surfaces and carving. He had already thought about it on the way to buy things, and he had to choose a dozen people who were careful and dexterous. Do fine work.

Because the stones that can be made into stone tables and benches are quite special, they are all large and have beautiful patterns. These good stones cannot be sold, and they have to be used as signs for my Yinshan Stone Workshop.In addition, he also knows that occasionally very unique stones can be mined, which can be used as stone screens, carved screens, inkstones, pen holders, flower pots and so on.

Because these marble patterns are really beautiful, making these exquisite things will definitely attract those big families who love to play arty.In this ancient time, those princes and ladies, as well as dignitaries and wealthy people, they usually had too few things to entertain, so it would be nice to be able to make some exquisite things for them to give gifts to each other.

Of course, these stones that can make good things cannot be sold, only stones with ordinary patterns and ordinary specifications are sold, so his stone workshop is a unique Yinshan stone workshop that no one can imitate.

Erxi and Uncle Xiang heard last time that the workshop workers gave away [-] Wen, this time they gave [-] Wen, not to mention eating and drinking, and there are also New Year's goods to take home, they are all very greedy.Even Qian Tong, who was usually not optimistic about his younger brother, became envious now.

Qian Feng glanced at the carts they were pulling charcoal from, and asked, "How is your charcoal selling?"

Uncle Xiang sighed: "After selling in the streets and alleys for so long, we only sell 21 baskets, but it is much better than selling in the village. It's getting late, we'd better sell it tomorrow, just go back with you, the road is full of Accumulated snow, I don't know if I will be able to get home at Zishi."

Because the next day is going to be a new year, no matter whether you have earned money or not, you will use some money to buy new year’s goods and go home. It’s just a matter of buying too much and buying too little. After buying, you will be in a hurry go back.

The snow on the road was deeper than when they came. It was easier for Qian Feng and the workshop workers to walk because the carts were empty, but it was much harder for Erxi and the others because they still had to carry charcoal home.Qian Feng asked the workshop workers to help, and followed behind to push the charcoal cart. Even so, it took a while to get home.

In order to wait for Qian Feng, Shiliu dared not go to bed at all, for fear of falling asleep accidentally.She made a pot of charcoal fire, and sat beside her to pick up the soles of her shoes. Just like that, the soles of the shoes in her hands fell to the ground several times, and she couldn't bear it any longer.

But thinking about the heavy snowfall, will the cart not be able to move, will Qian Feng not be able to come back?There are so many people who don't have the money to stay in a hotel, so they won't be out in the cold all night, right?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and the more she thought about it, the more distressed she became, so she ran to the gate of the courtyard to look around from time to time, and went back and forth several times, but she returned to her room disappointed.

Just when she was so impulsive to put on her padded jacket and was about to go out to look for Qian Feng, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, Shiliu was overjoyed, and quickly ran out to open the courtyard door.

Shiliu didn't see who was coming, so she threw herself on the passer-by, "I'm waiting for you to come back, I'm afraid that the heavy snow will be too deep and the cart will not be able to move."

Qian Feng was stunned for a moment, "Why are you wearing such thick clothes? You don't plan to go out, do you?"

Pomegranate nodded, hehe smiled.At this moment, she suddenly found that her eldest brother Qian Tong was still standing behind Qian Feng, and she was so frightened that she left Qian Feng's embrace, "Big... Big brother, you are back too?"

Seeing the two of them hugging each other just now, Qian Tong blushed. Fortunately, it was dark night and no one could see his blushing face.

At this time Ge Taohua also came out, and said: "Qian Tong, you said that you sell some charcoal, but I am worried to death, I am afraid that you will be buried by the heavy snow."

Qian Tong's body froze, this woman is really different from women, Pomegranate is giving his younger brother a big hug, while his mother-in-law opened her mouth to say unlucky words.But he is still more used to Ge Taohua, he can't stand a woman who is too greasy.

Qian Tong responded, "Why are you still up so late?"

Ge Taohua helped Qian Tong carry the basket, which contained some New Year's goods. She pulled it a few times with her hands, and said, "I was lying down, and I was worried about you all the time, so I couldn't sleep. How much do you spend on these New Year's goods? Is it expensive?" ?”

"Let's talk about it when we go back to the house." Qian Tong pulled Ge Taohua and hurried in.

Qian Tong was afraid that Ge Taohua would be greedy when he saw a bunch of good things outside the courtyard gate, these were bought by Qian Feng.Qian Feng and Shiliu moved into the house twice before they finished moving. After closing the bedroom door, Shiliu squatted down and looked through it, "Why do you buy so many things, cakes, melon seeds, dried dates, and lotus seeds? Is it expensive?"

Qian Feng sat by the brazier and dried his hands, then took out a money bag and handed it to Pomegranate, "We are rich now, and it didn't cost much to buy these, the stone table and stone bench were sold for twenty pieces."

"Twenty strings?" Shiliu poured all the money on the table, dumbfounded, "How long will it take to count, the money you robbed?"

Qian Feng laughed, "We are all good citizens, how could we steal money?"

He told Shiliu about today's events and his own thoughts, Shiliu understood half of it, first danced for a while with joy, and then asked: "You mean we don't have to worry about food anymore?"

Qian Feng nodded, "It should be, let's talk about the future, let's live the life in front of you first, and then go and see what's in that bag."

Pomegranate then ran over and twitched, "Hey, there are still New Year pictures. Huh? What is this?"

Pomegranate opened a small wooden box, saw something milky white inside, and smelled it again, "This smells weird." She reached out and picked some to put into her mouth.

Qian Feng hurriedly shouted, "This is not edible!"

"Why can't I eat it? There are three boxes here. I'll just have a taste." In the eyes of Pomegranate, this kind of thing must be eaten, otherwise what would it be used for?

Qian Feng beckoned to her, told her to sit down, and then painted the milky white things she picked on her fingers on the back of her hands, "Look, your hands are cracked from the cold, it hurts so much, apply it several times a day This ointment will heal in a few days."

Qian Feng helped her apply it on her hands, and then put some on her face, "Your face was also chapped by the wind. From now on, you can apply some every day in autumn and winter, and your skin will look better."

Pomegranate suddenly realized, "Oh, this is lard! It's so delicious to keep the lard for cooking. It's a pity to rub it on your face every day."
