The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 167 Planter

Zhao Tong took the contract over and looked at it carefully. After a while, he put down the contract and said, "I think it's pretty good, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Then let's sign the contract." Han Qianluo said without thinking.

The contract was signed soon, and the two kept one copy each. After that, Han Qianluo left and went to the shop.

"Sister Tao." Han Qianluo shouted loudly just as he walked to the door.

At this time, there were no customers in the shop, and Dow was cleaning the counter carefully. When he heard the voice, he turned his head and looked around. After seeing that the person calling was Han Qianluo, he smiled and said, "Sister Han, you are here."

"Sister Tao, where is the key to the warehouse at the back? I'll go and see how much soy sauce and sugar are left in it." Han Qianluo said.

Dow took the key from his body and handed it to her, saying, "There are not many, only a few cans of soy sauce, and a lot of sugar."

Han Qianluo opened the door of the warehouse, and found that there was indeed not much soy sauce and sugar, so he closed the door of the warehouse and walked to the front shop, but unexpectedly found that Xie Yueyong was actually in the shop.

"I knew that I would definitely find you here." Xie Yueyong said with a smile.

Han Qianluo put the key in the drawer and said, "Is there anything Mr. Xie wants from me?"

"Is Qianluo not welcoming me?" Xie Yueyong joked.

"How could it be? It's too late to welcome, how could you not welcome." Han Qianluo said with a smile, "I just heard that you are a busy person, so I was a little surprised to see you."

Xie Yueyong walked to the counter, scanned the whole shop, and said with some doubts: "Why do I feel that there are a little less things?"

"It's indeed a little less. I didn't expect you to notice it." Han Qianluo replied indifferently.

Xie Yueyong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you fill in the missing part?"

Han Qianluo hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should tell him the matter.Xie Yueyong saw her hesitation, and said worriedly, "Did something happen?"

"Nothing happened." Han Qianluo quickly denied. Seeing that he was so concerned, he still expressed his thoughts: "Actually, I just don't want to do this business anymore."

"Why, isn't it well done?" Xie Yueyong was puzzled, "And the things here are all unique, and now more and more people like the things you sell here, especially this sugar , I heard that whoever is holding a banquet now, if they can receive the sugar you sell here, it will be a very honorable thing."

Han Qianluo is busy with his own affairs every day, and he doesn't like to chat with those people in the same class, so he doesn't know much about these things, so he was a little surprised: "It's not so exaggerated, you are not kidding me Bar?"

"What do I coax you to do? This is something that everyone knows." Xie Yueyong said.

At this time, Tao Shi came over and interjected, "Young Master Xie didn't say that, it is indeed the case now, and the granulated sugar sold in our shop is a very rare thing now."

"What's rare about this? It's not impossible to buy it. As long as we have money, we will sell it to him." Han Qianluo said, although she said so, she was also very happy in her heart, as if drinking honey .

She continued: "I just don't like to do this, and other people will know how to do it at a glance. There will definitely be a lot of these things on the market in a short time, and I won't be able to make much money by then, so I plan to sell this business. The shop is used to sell machines."

"The machine, is that the thing you put in the shop some time ago?" Xie Yueyong asked.

Han Qianluo nodded and said: "Yes, I think that thing is more profitable than these seasonings, and the things used for farming and harvesting should be easier for people to buy than seasonings."

"I think you should continue this business. You can find another shop to sell that machine." Xie Yueyong said.

"That would be too troublesome." Han Qianluo frowned and said, she likes simplicity and doesn't like trouble.

Xie Yueyong laughed out loud when he heard her words, and said with a happy expression, "How can it be troublesome to make money?"

But Han Qianluo doesn't think so. In her opinion, money can never be made, as long as it is enough, she doesn't want to lose the joy of life just to make money, so she doesn't want a shop to keep going. A shop will continue to open, so she will have no time to do other things.

But Han Qianluo won't say this, so she just said: "It's too troublesome to make soy sauce, and my family doesn't have much land. It's really not worthwhile to go to other people's houses to harvest crops. And it's troublesome, so I don't want to do it."

Xie Yueyong smiled slightly, and suggested: "If you find it troublesome, you can also hand it over to other people."

"But my family doesn't have that many people." Han Qianluo said.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yueyong just smiled indifferently and said: "Actually, this matter is very simple, you just need to buy a few big slaves."

"But..." Han Qianluo was a little hesitant. She still had a little resistance to buying and selling people like livestock, and she couldn't get used to it like people do now.

Xie Yueyong didn't know her worries, so he couldn't understand her reaction at the moment, and asked a little puzzled: "Is there anything else, Qianluo?"

Han Qianluo hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head: "It's nothing." Xie Yueyong didn't stay here for too long, and left after a while. Until he left, Han Qianluo still didn't quite understand what he came here for.

After that, Han Qianluo went to the shop next door. It happened that there were no customers in the shop. When Xu Gui saw her, he quickly said, "Miss."

"How's business today?" Han Qianluo asked casually, looking around the shop.

"It's the same as usual." Xu Gui replied.

Han Qianluo looked at him, and suddenly remembered the issue that was still being discussed just now, thinking in his heart, since there are no customers now, maybe he can ask how he feels, so he asked, "Do you hate buying and selling people?"

Xu Gui was taken aback for a moment, probably because he didn't know why Han Qianluo asked such a question, but after he was taken aback for a moment, he still replied: "Isn't this a normal thing, what's so annoying?"

Seeing the dazed expression on Xu Gui's face, Han Qianluo felt that maybe her questioning method was wrong, so he decided to ask another way: "I mean, would you rather be a free citizen, or be sold to a slave?" People as slaves?" After she finished speaking, she thought to herself, it should be obvious to ask such a question, and if you think about it with your toes, it is better to be a free citizen.

However, the facts surprised her a little. Xu Gui said without even thinking about it: "It's not good to say, being a free citizen is free, but it depends on the sky. If there is a famine, there will be no harvest. Nothing is too late, the worst thing is that you have to pay taxes, so you can only escape from famine, but being a slave is different, you don’t have to worry about starvation at all, and if you meet a kind master, it’s better than being a freeman Too much."

Hearing such words, Han Qianluo simply couldn't understand, how could someone think that being someone else's servant is a good thing, in her opinion, this is really unbelievable.But these words also made her less resistant to buying slaves, because in the eyes of those who were bought, it was not a very bad thing.

Although Han Qianluo knew that this was an excuse she gave herself, she still felt that she was not so conflicted, so she decided to see if there was a suitable candidate, and left the shop.

Not enough. It was obvious that her luck was not very good today. She walked around the market and didn't see any slave sellers. She had to come back another day, so she bought some meat dishes and went back.

After returning home, she remembered that Han Qingquan went to help Uncle Sun build a house. Although most of the common people can only eat two meals now, it is only limited to the usual slack time. Once the farming is busy or working, they still have to eat for lunch.

So Han Qingquan, who went to help Uncle Sun with work, would not come back for lunch at noon, but had lunch at Uncle Sun's house, which meant that she was the only one at home at noon, so she planned to save the vegetables she bought until evening.

Han Qianluo found a small basket, hung it up with a rope, and carefully put it into the well so as not to spoil it at night.Although the effect of putting it in a well is not as good as that of a refrigerator, it is still not bad. At least it can be stored until the night without any problem, and it can even be stored until tomorrow without any problem.

After putting the vegetables in place, she remembered that she hadn't had time to try the effect of the planter, so she planned to push the planter out to try the effect.But what surprised her was that the weight of the planter exceeded her expectations. Although the wheels were installed underneath, she still couldn't push it.

Looking at the machine in front of her with some distress, Han Qianluo was very distressed. The first problem she thought of was not how to push it out, but that such a heavy machine was inconvenient to promote. She felt that at least a woman should be able to push it. , so she quickly found out the drawings and seized the time to improve the planter.

Due to time constraints, Han Qianluo could be said to have forgotten to sleep and eat. When Sanwei and Han Qingquan came back in the evening, she still sat where she was and did not move once.

"Sister San, is dinner ready?" Han Sanwei rubbed his stomach and asked.

Han Qingquan quickly stood up and put away the drawings and said, "I'll start cooking dinner right away. Sanwei, go pick some leafy vegetables from the field." After speaking, he went to the well and picked up the basket containing the vegetables.

Han Qingquan had been busy all day, and he hurried to take a bath when he came back, so now Han Qianluo is busy in the kitchen alone.She first cut the meat and prepared the seasonings. At the same time, Xu Gui also came over to help knead the dough and make the cake.

With the cooperation of several people, dinner was ready soon, and the family began to eat.At the sex table, Warner Qianluo suddenly remembered about buying a slave, so he said by the way: "Brother, I plan to buy a slave back."
