The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 154 Li Shi 2
Han Qianluo moved the machine into the shop that Dow was in charge of, and placed it in the empty space on the left.Dow was a little surprised when he saw these two things, and hurried over and asked, "Sister Han, what is this?"

"This one is a harvester, which is used to harvest rice," Han Qianluo introduced, and then pointed to the thresher and said, "This is used for threshing. With this thing, you don't have to use it so much when threshing millet in the future." It takes a lot of effort and saves time.”

Dow immediately understood what she meant: "Are you going to sell these two things in this shop?"

"I'm going to find another shop to sell this kind of machine, and I'll put it here temporarily for now, and move there when I find a place." Han Qianluo said, and found that Dow was a little bit hesitant to talk, so he said, "Sister Tao, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, we are so familiar, is there anything else you can't say?"

Dow laughed immediately: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but I told you, don't blame me for pouring cold water on you. What if no one buys your machine?"

This is indeed a basin of cold water. Han Qianluo has never thought of this. In her mind, such a machine is definitely a good thing. How could no one want to buy it? Of course the price is indeed a bit expensive, but it is also a good thing .However, Tao Shi's words still reminded her, it seems that this point also needs to be considered.

Dow continued: "I think you'd better put these two things here for the time being. Anyway, there's still a lot of space here."

"Let's put it here for now, and we'll talk about it later." Han Qianluo said, and then told Dow how to use the two machines, and also told her how much it would cost if someone wanted to buy it.

After explaining the matter, Han Qianluo left, and when he returned home, he found that Mrs. Li was at his home again.Seeing her, Mrs. Li smiled and shouted: "Qianluo is back."

Even though Han Qianluo was a little unhappy, seeing Li's smiling face, she was embarrassed to keep a straight face, and could only respond with a smile: "Mother-in-law, come and see the spring flowers."

"Yeah, our two families are so close anyway, it won't take long to walk here, so come and have a look." Li Shi said, stretching his neck calmly towards Han Qianluo's hand He looked in the basket, and then pretended to be casual and asked: "Have you gone to the street to buy vegetables again?"

Han Qianluo knew what Li Shi wanted to ask, but she deliberately didn't say it, but said perfunctorily: "Go to the city for a little bit of business, it's such a hot day, I really don't want to go out." While talking, she put the basket in the kitchen Inside, Ran Hu came out again.

"This kind of weather is unbearable for ordinary adults. Now that Chunhua is pregnant with a child, it is even more uncomfortable." Li said pointedly.

Han Qianluo didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, she thought it made sense, so she nodded and said, "It's true, but I haven't heard of anything that can make people feel refreshed .”

Mrs. Li suddenly leaned her body towards Han Qianluo's direction, and said mysteriously, "Why not? I heard that there is now a place that sells ice, which is especially cool at home."

Han Qianluo also felt that it was very hot, and there was no electric fan or air conditioner, so it was indeed very hot, so when she heard what Li Shi said, she quickly thought about whether there was such a place, but after much deliberation, she couldn't think of such a place , So he asked: "Why haven't I heard that there is an ice seller?"

"That person doesn't have a shop, and the people who want to buy go to that person's house to buy ice. Let me tell you, there are a lot of people who buy ice. If you go late, you still can't buy it." Li Shi said quickly, a little anxious look, and then told Han Qianluo the address of that person.

Han Qianluo nodded and said, "I'll go take a look some other day."

"Oh, it's already so late, it's almost noon, I should go back." Li suddenly stood up and said.

Han Qianluo was a little surprised. At first she thought Mrs. Li was going to stay for dinner again, but she didn't, but she pretended to stay and said, "It's already this time, so stay at my house for lunch."

"No need, it's not too far away, it's only a few steps away, how can I eat at your house every day, I'm leaving." After speaking, Li turned around and left.

In the next few days, Mrs. Li would come every day, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon, and would stay for most of the day once she came, gradually Han Qianluo got used to it.

This morning, Han Qianluo went to the city as before, and just after walking out of Qianyangli, he saw Chu Zhen carrying a basket on his back.Chu Zhen also saw her, and quickly greeted her: "Qianluo, are you going to the city too, let's go together, okay?"

"Okay." Han Qianluo agreed.

Although she bought an ox cart now, most of the time Han Qianluo walked to the city. Driving a cart seemed too troublesome to her. People slowly walked towards the capital.

The two chatted while walking, chatting about the harvest this time, and talking about what to plant next season.Suddenly Chu Zhen asked: "Qianluo, now your sister-in-law stays at home every day and does nothing?"

Han Qianluo became vigilant all of a sudden, not understanding what Chu Zhen meant by asking this question, whether it was pure curiosity, or whether he was thinking about it again, just like the previous time.

"How do you know?" When Han Qianluo said this, he admitted what Chu Zhen said, but there was nothing shameful about it.

Chu Zhen lowered her head and took two quick steps forward. She used to walk side by side, but now she is in front, and Han Qianluo is walking behind.After Chu Zhen walked to the front, he replied slowly: "My mother heard what others said."

"No way, whoever has the blood of our Han family in his belly is naturally more expensive." Han Qianluo said, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his words, and he didn't dare to show it at home.

During this period of time, Mrs. Li came to Han's house every day, talking about the unborn child in her belly. Once Li Chunhua moved her hand, she would bluff, as if she had abused her daughter. This made Han Qian Luo felt very disgusted in his heart, but he couldn't show it yet.

Chu Zhen heard the trace of dissatisfaction in her words, so he followed her words and asked, "Did something happen?"

"It's nothing." Han Qianluo didn't intend to tell outsiders, especially Chu Zhen, what happened at home.

Chu Zhen didn't ask any more questions, and pretended not to care, he changed the subject and said, "Qianluo, the machine you used to harvest rice a few days ago is sold there. How much does it cost?"

It has been more than ten days since the beginning of harvesting rice, almost 20 days. Although many people expressed envy for the speed and convenience of Han Qianluo's machine, many people expressed their desire to buy a set of machines, but after knowing the price, they basically Everyone dismissed the idea.

Chu Zhen naturally knows the price of the machine, and their family is not considered rich, but an ordinary farmer's family. It is really not easy to spend such a sum of money to buy this machine.

However, although he was a little puzzled, Han Qianluo still replied: "If you want both machines, it will cost about forty guan. If you use a single harvester, you only need 35 guan. [-] coins."

"Actually, it wasn't my family who wanted to buy it, but a relative of my family. After they heard about it, they asked me to inquire about it. They planned to buy a set." Chu Zhen explained.

"If that relative of yours wants to buy it, you can just bring her to me." Han Qianluo replied.

Speaking of this, Chu Zhen stopped and asked: "Qianluo, I'm going to the cloth shop to sell these cloths, and you, do you want to go together?"

It was only then that Han Qianluo realized that the two of them had reached the gate of the city. There were a lot of people coming in and out, and it seemed very lively. Then he replied without thinking, "No, I need a lot of things. Let's part here."

After parting at the gate of the city, the first thing Han Qianluo did was to go to Zhao Tong's house. Every time she came to the city, the first thing she did was to go to Zhao Tong's house to see how Zhao Tong's machine was doing.

Arriving at the door of Zhao Tong's house, Han Qianluo was abnormal and did not see Mrs. Zhao at the door. The door was closed tightly. She stood at the door of the house and hesitated for a while. The door was closed tightly. Zhao Tong should not be at home, but after thinking about it , she decided to go to the back of the house to have a look.

Walking to the thatched hut at the back of the house, I found that Zhao Tong was there, making machines as usual.The originally spacious thatched house was filled with all kinds of things and looked very crowded.

Since it is the hottest time now, and the place where the iron smelting is supposed to be even hotter, Zhao Tong only wore a pair of black linen trousers on his lower body, and nothing on his upper body, and he was working shirtless. When Han Qianluo came over, he quickly stopped what he was doing: "Qianluo, you are shopping in the street again."

"Well, why don't you come to buy something now." Han Qianluo said, as soon as she walked into the thatched cottage, a wave of heat hit her face, and she felt that it was not as cool as being under the sun outside. Of course, she would not really go under the sun Standing, so standing under the eaves.

Zhao Tong picked up the sweat towel on the stool beside him and wiped off the sweat from his face, then put down the sweat towel again and said, "There is no way, there is an inconvenient person in your family now."

"What's the inconvenience? It's still too early to be truly inconvenient." Han Qianluo replied smoothly.

Zhao Tong chuckled, didn't follow her words, but didn't object, just said: "Everyone has different ideas, don't think too much about Qianluo."

Han Qianluo sighed, and said helplessly, "I know, but just thinking about it makes me feel a little uncomfortable, as if there is something in my heart."
