Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 218 Luoxue, buy a horse (4)
"Xiao Ling, when do you think my space can be upgraded again?"

Sure enough, Little Spirit was under the apple tree again. He had just finished eating an apple, and now he was stroking his belly with his paws, leaning leisurely on the tree trunk.

"According to the master's speed, the year of the monkey will be like a horse and a month."

Xiaoling raised his bird's head, Wu Jiyan glanced at Qingli with contempt, it's been so long, and he hasn't learned teleportation yet, so he has never seen such a stupid person.

"Next year is the Year of the Monkey."

Qingli pursed her lips, purposely talking to Xiaoling, playing tricks with one person and one beast for a long time, and then she worked in the space, and practiced embroidery for a long time, and only put down the work in her hands when her eyes felt tired.

The fish in the space grow too fast, and at this speed, they almost grow into mint fish, and each one weighs several catties. She still throws a few big ones into the pond at home from time to time, and then replaces the slightly smaller ones with Space, even this is too heaven-defying.

This time I slept until dawn again. Early in the morning, I heard the screams from the second sister's room. Qingli quickly put on her clothes and put on a pair of thick-soled shoes. full of snow.

"Haha, it's snowing!"

The second sister, Qing Qiang, found a broom in the tea room, and swept the falling snow from the veranda to the steps. Qingli looked at the whiteness all over the world, and felt extraordinarily relieved.

There was no pollution at this time, and the snow was clean and white. She quickly jumped down the steps and ran wildly around the yard. The snow was one foot deep, and there were her small footprints on it.

"Little sister, why are you running like crazy!"

Even though the second sister yelled like that, she also ran around behind her, even picking places that Qingli hadn't stepped on.

The morning after the snow fell was not cold, the air was fresh, and people felt that they could breathe much more easily. Erni, who had been ill for two days, couldn’t sit still. She came from the south, and it was the first time she saw snow, and she felt fresh. I grabbed a handful of snow on the ground and put it in my hand, squeezed it into a ball and started playing with it.

"Erni, are you feeling better? Go back quickly, don't have to drink medicine in two days, let others take care of you."

Qingli saw that Erni was also a child at heart, and she liked Xue very much, and she didn't care about her red hands, so she said a few words to her.

"Miss Si, I came out to sweep the yard. Now I'm healed, and I'm wearing thick clothes."

Erni stood up embarrassingly, and found a big broom. It is a blessing to be able to come to such a master's house. The padded jacket was sent out early. She is now wearing it to keep warm, and she still has medicine to drink when she is sick. Fourth Miss is afraid of her She drank bitter medicine and gave her a lot of candied fruit. She couldn't be lazy, as the master was sweeping the snow, how could she rest as a maid.

For breakfast, Mrs. Zhang made white noodle soup, which contained a lot of lean meat slices and shredded cabbage, served with a pile of pickles, half a pickled salted duck egg per person, and it was hot.

These duck eggs were laid by ducks from Qingli's family. Because there were too many, the mother Liu's family pickled them. Two days ago, when the lobby brother Mo Zidong came, he specially sent them over, saying that they were for the family. , now it's cold, the hens in the village don't lay eggs very much, and the chickens and ducks at home still keep laying one every day, and the coke spoiled my aunt.

After breakfast, Fu Shun came to Zhang Bo's door and drank a cup of hot tea. When he heard that the master's family wanted to buy a carriage, he was a little disappointed. He was afraid that the master's family would not need him if they had a carriage.

"Boy Fushun, don't worry too much, this carriage will be driven by you in the future."

Just after Zhang Bo had breakfast, seeing Fushun driving the ox cart to the door so early, his face was flushed by the wind, he quickly poured him a cup of tea and some pastries.

I can’t find a master family who is more generous than the Mo family. In the past, Uncle Zhang was always worried, but now he has 120 hearts. How can anyone’s slaves serve tea and snacks all day long and eat the same food as the master’s family? Yes, only the Mo family is like this.

"Uncle Zhang, don't be so busy, I came here after breakfast."

Fushun knew that Uncle Zhang had seen through his little thoughts, so he smiled embarrassedly. The charcoal bought by Mo's family yesterday was distributed to his family, so he didn't have to worry about it this winter. His parents and grandma were so touched, let him Do it well, or you will offend the master, and you will suffer from grandpa's soles when you go back.

"Uncle Zhang, it's because the master's family is so nice that I'm afraid of losing this job."

Fu Shun talked about his anxiety, and Zhang Bo said a few words of comfort.In the morning, my mother was going to the cattle and horse market to look after the horses, and Qing Lifei wanted to be with her like a baby. Mrs. Liu thought that her daughter hadn't gone out for ten days. After the house was built and she returned to the village, it would not be easy to come to the town once.

Fushun was driving the ox cart, and Qingli was leaning against her mother. There was only a shed on the top of the ox cart, and there was air leakage on all sides. It was because the second sister hugged an old quilt when she was leaving, and let Qingli cover it to keep her warm. .

The cattle and horse market is located in a relatively spacious open space in the west of the town. There are many wooden stakes nailed on the ground to tie the cattle and horses for sale. The cattle and horses are in their own areas.

Because it snowed last night, not many people came in the morning, in twos and threes, some were bargaining, and the seller was eloquent about how good their cattle were, and how cost-effective it was to buy them. Cattle can work hard and pull carts. You can also cultivate crops, so come and buy more.

"There is a carriage over there, let's go and have a look."

Fushun found a place to park the ox cart, and gave the person who took care of the ox cart two pennies. He led the way, and his mother Liu followed behind with Qingli.

These days, horses are definitely a luxury, and they are basically used by rich families to drive cars, so there are not many people trading, and several horse dealers are idle. When they saw Qingli and the others coming up, they immediately surrounded them.

"Ma'am, do you want to buy a horse? Come and see my house! My horse, look, it's very strong, and it only takes two hours to pull a cart to Fengyang City!"

A tall and strong man came over to greet first, led several people to his horse, and kept bragging, saying how good his own horse was, and saying that old horses know the way, and they also know the way.

The horses in this man's house are not bad, they are all grown-up horses. Mrs. Liu means that she wants a mare with a docile temperament, which can be tamed and more obedient. It's hard for the people who ride the carriage.

"Mom, I like this horse."

Qingli pointed to a black horse. The fur of that horse was very bright, and its eyes were watery, showing gentleness. Qingli stood on tiptoe and stroked the soft fur on the side of its neck. The horse also turned around, kindly He glanced at her intently, but didn't make any other movements, which shows that this horse is very human.

"Boss, what's the price of this horse?"

Qingli just stepped forward to touch the horse, which startled Liu, for fear that she would be trampled on by the horse's hooves. In the end, the horse was still very docile and let her daughter caress it.

"This lady has good eyesight. This is an adult mare that is docile and runs fast. Originally, I wanted to introduce you to buy that stallion, but I didn't expect you to fall in love with this mare. I love this mare." I don’t really want to sell it, because you see there is a half-year-old foal over there, which is its child.”
