Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 140, go to the horse market
The quiet and peaceful time passed quickly. After a busy day, everyone was tired. The family cherished the days of rebirth after the catastrophe, and especially cherished the time under the lights every night. The family was together, and the laughter was very low. , There are always things to laugh about and things to talk about.

Mrs. Zhou scolded Xiaocheng from time to time, Mrs. Qin talked about Luo Qiao's second scriptures from time to time, Huazi and Shui Yuan competed for papers, and the whole family spent the night in a lively manner.

It was very dark outside, Xiao Qing thought about going to the deep mountains tomorrow morning, so she went to bed first.

She doesn't plan to let anyone follow her tomorrow, she wants to go into the mountains by herself.

next day
Xiao Qing carried two bamboo baskets on his back, and took the leftover white rice and meat buns from last night, as well as some stewed meat, and went up to the mountain.

She hadn't been in the mountains for two or three days, and she didn't know what happened to the vegetables and peppers she planted.

Ever since she knew that Hualian was a mandrill, she became more cautious. The last time she came to the deep mountains at night to ask Ah Luan to help draw a map, Hualian almost attacked her as a stranger. Fortunately, she took out food and put it in front of them in time. Only then did the mandrill see clearly that it was her!
As soon as she entered the deep mountain, she hung the food in the original place, then got up to look at the vegetables in the field, and picked the mung beans by the way.

Most of the mung beans have been picked, and the harvest of nearly [-] mu of mung beans can be about [-] catties. If it is put into modern times, the wheat of one mu of land is at least [-] catties.

She is not in a hurry to pick mung beans, but looks at the rapeseed she scattered.

In the ditches, the green vegetables that had sprouted before, celery, had already grown a finger long, but the millet pepper had just broken through the ground and sprouted. The spinach and cabbage also grew very well, and the sprouts grew half a finger long. A piece of green, very gratifying to look at.

In another month, the green vegetables here will be ready to eat, and their family also has green vegetables to eat.

There was a place where the vegetables she sprinkled were too thick, so she knelt down and lifted the excess vegetables.

She put the plucked green sprouts in the bamboo basket. When making mung bean vermicelli at noon, put them in the pot, and the taste should not be bad.

In the future, she will also plant some coriander and shallots, as well as ginger and garlic, which can be bought in the county, so she is not in a hurry to plant them.

After she lifted the vegetables, she went to pick mung beans.

Seeing that [-] mu of land has been cleared, she has to turn over the land as soon as possible so that peppers can be planted at that time, and it will be harvested by the end of the year, but it depends on whether there is water and whether the weather is extreme or not. Even if the extreme weather is surrounded by mountains here, moisture and air gaps are not bad.

Xiao Qing's speed of picking mung beans accelerated unknowingly. These days, he worked every day in ancient times. If his hands were slow, there were still many things waiting for him.

Grain will also be planted in the future, but the remaining barren land next to the old Qiao's house may not be able to grow food. The [-] to [-] mu of land behind the mountain is needed. Now in the hands of Qiao Xiangmin, she must get it as soon as possible. return.

Just thinking about it, the work at hand also accelerated.

When the morning was approaching, Xiao Qing returned home with two bamboo baskets on his back. After eating, he took more than 100 catties of chili powder noodles and went to the county town. Qiao Fang would follow her to help keep the accounts. How to use accounting subjects and under what circumstances, Qiao Fang listened carefully.

Although it was like listening to heaven to her, after being simplified by her mother, she found it easy to accept.

Xiao Qing thought about asking Zhou Chuan to help deliver the hundred catties to Shangjing for the time being, but she couldn't bother Zhou Chuan in the future, she was going to buy a carriage.

Finding Lao Ma every day is very troublesome. It is best to buy a carriage by yourself. At that time, Gu Lao Ma will be a coachman, and he will be given ten Wen a day in the county. , This is much better than him running a donkey cart every day.

Thinking about this on the way, he told him that he wanted Gu Lao Ma to be a coachman. Unexpectedly, Lao Ma agreed, saying that he had driven a carriage when he was young, but he hadn't touched it for many years, so he had to get familiar with it first.

Xiao Qing also smiled and said yes, let him go to the carriage to get acquainted with it if he has nothing to do these two days.

When the donkey cart came to the door of Laibin Restaurant, Xiao Qing handed over a hundred catties of chili powder noodles to Zhou Chuan.

Zhou Chuan immediately found someone to take the trip for her, and when he learned that Xiao Qing was going to buy a carriage, he smiled happily.

"Shopkeeper Xiao should have bought it a long time ago. Why did you only open your mouth now? I know horse sellers in the horse market. They sell horses to wealthy families. But you also know that there is a shortage of horses in Daqing. Horses are very expensive recently. Wait Will I take you there personally and ask him to give you cheaper?"

As soon as Xiao Qing heard that he knew the guys in the horse market, the price could still be cheap, how wonderful it is!
"The shopkeeper Zhou will delay you from greeting the guests?" Xiao Qing saw the guests all over the room: "Tell me where you are, and I will report your name there!"

Zhou Chuan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, your matter is more important, I will take you there myself!"

Seeing that Zhou Chuan was very enthusiastic, Xiao Qing didn't shirk his excuses anymore. After Zhou Chuan had arranged things in the store, he took her to the horse market.

At three o'clock, Zhou Chuan rushed to the horse market with Xiao Qing and Qiao Fang.

The horse market is located in the southwest of Yaoshan County, close to the Hou Mansion. Because the horses in Daqing have been traded from neighboring countries in the southwest in recent years, the horse market is located at the southwest gate of Yaoshan.

The horse market in Yaoshan is just a horse farm set up by the nobles. In an open space in the southwest of Yaoshan, a few horse dealers stay for a day or two to rest. If the nobles choose a good horse, they will buy it directly.

Most of these horses transported from the southwest were sent to the northern Yizhou to be used as war horses.

After Zhou Chuan got off the carriage, he invited Xiao Qing and Qiao Fang to the horse market.

Entering the horse market, the pungent smell of horse dung came over. Qiao Fang and Xiao Qing didn't think it was bad. When they were in the village, the smell they smelled was much worse than this.

Zhou Chuan walked ahead with a smile on his face, leading the two of them to a green brick house.

Xiao Qing looked at the open horse farm over there, there seemed to be a familiar person riding a horse, but he disappeared after a while, so he simply didn't take it seriously.

"Is brother Liu there?" Zhou Chuan asked as he entered the door.

Xiao Qing and Qiao Fang stood at the door and did not go in.

Zhou Chuan walked around the room and found it strange that he didn't see anyone.

"Is there anyone in the room!" Zhou Chuan came out and guessed, "Is it on the other side of the racecourse? Let's go over there and have a look."

Xiao Qing and Qiao Fang hummed.

When Qiao Fang entered the horse market just now, she saw someone practicing riding and shooting at the horse farm. The figure was very familiar, and she resisted it.

She remembered that figure, which used to be so close to her, made her hate it.

She walked a few steps, not wanting to have any contact with that person, let alone being seen by him.

"Mom, you go, I'll wait for you here!" Qiao Fang said softly.

Seeing her stop, Xiao Qing glanced at the people on the other side of the racecourse, and she still didn't understand.

"Then you wait for me in the carriage first?"
