The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 199 The Old Hen

After Han Qingquan exchanged a few words with the other party, he started to talk about the business, while Han Qianluo listened from the side without interjecting. She only needed to pay attention to the physical condition of her elder brother, but this also allowed her to see another side of her elder brother.

Han Qingquan's current health is still very bad. There is no way to support him to sit here and talk for so long. After about half an hour, his face began to turn pale, which was a bit difficult to support.

Seeing this, Han Qianluo was very worried, so he didn't care about being rude or still didn't understand the rules, so he quickly interrupted and said, "Master Sun, I'm really sorry, my brother has recently suffered from a serious illness and his body is a little weak, so we still don't want to Get over those detours and be direct."

"Xiaoluo." Han Qingquan turned his head and scolded her softly with some disapproval, very dissatisfied with what she said.When Han Qianluo heard his elder brother say that about her, he gave him a wronged look.

Master Sun didn't care about the interaction between their brothers and sisters, and still said with a smile: "So that's the case. I thought your complexion was not as good as before. If this is the case, I won't forgive you. I don't care about your things. I am very satisfied, and it is really convenient to use, so I decided to continue to use your things."

Han Qianluo suddenly realized a problem. The families of these officials must have a lot of land. Maybe you can recommend him to buy a few machines, so that they can be promoted among those officials, so she interjected: " We also sell something in our shop, I wonder if you are interested?"

"Oh, what is it, can you let me see it first?" Master Sun immediately understood what she meant.

Han Qingquan also understood what she was going to say, so he took it and said: "This thing is very heavy and not easy to move, so I didn't bring it here. It is a kind of machine that can harvest and thresh easily and quickly, and it is also used to sow seeds." The machine can save a lot of manpower, if Mr. Sun is interested, we can go and have a look."

After listening to Master Sun, he thought for a while and said: "I remembered, I heard what you said before, but I always thought it was impossible to have such a magical thing, so I didn't try it, but now I know You guys did it, I kind of believe it, but is it really as good as you said?"

"Master Sun, if you have time, I can find a piece of land for you to try." Han Qingquan said.

"I can't do it today, I don't have enough time today, so how about it, after three days, you will send the things over, and then you will also pull that machine over to try it out, and I will see if it is really as good as you said, and then make a decision Do you want to buy it?" Master Sun said.

Han Qianluo was worried about her elder brother's health, so she said, "Master Sun, my brother won't be here in three days. I'll bring someone to bring the things to you. What do you think?"

"Of course there is no problem, anyway, you just need to send the things here." Master Sun said.

After talking about the matter, Han Qianluo left the tea shop with her elder brother. She also planned to buy a chicken to make soup, but she was worried that her elder brother was in poor health and would not be able to walk for such a long time. After thinking about it, she asked her to go She was waiting for her in the shop where the ox carts were stored, and then she quickly ran to the vegetable market to buy something.

At this time, the market is almost disbanded, and there are very few people. Although it is convenient to buy things and there are no people crowded, there are no good things at this time, and basically all the better ones have been bought away. .

After walking to the vegetable market, Han Qianluo went straight to the place where live chickens and ducks were sold. Fortunately, the chicken and duck sellers were still there, and there were still a few chickens that were not sold out.

Han Qianluo walked over and took a closer look at the few remaining chickens. They were not very good. They looked a little wilted and uninspired, but it was normal after thinking about it. If they were good, they would have been bought by others. Walk.

"Girl, do you want to buy it? I can make it cheaper for you." The peddler said enthusiastically when he saw a person.

"Are you a sick chicken?" Han Qianluo asked worriedly. If it was a sick chicken, it wouldn't be worth it. She was making soup to nourish her body, so the chicken must be very healthy .

When the peddler heard this, he quickly denied it: "Don't worry, none of my chickens are sick. If you have any problems with eating, you can come to me."

"If there is something wrong with eating, what's the use of looking for you." Han Qianluo said indifferently, and continued to look at the other chickens, only to find that the remaining chickens were either sickly or skinny Yes, she thought about it and decided not to buy it. After returning home, she went to see if anyone she knew had old hens for sale.

Although she didn't get the chicken, she still planned to buy other things, so she went to the pharmacy to buy some Codonopsis pilosula and Chinese angelica, and then went to the butcher's hawker to buy a few catties of meat. I saw the butcher was weighing another woman's meat, so I stood there and waited for a while.

At this time, another woman who was buying meat suddenly turned her head and said with some surprise: "Miss Han, I didn't expect to meet you here. It's such a coincidence."

"So it's Mrs. Song, you're here to buy meat too." Han Qianluo said with a smile.

"Yes, by the way, how is your brother's health?" Song asked suddenly serious.

Han Qianluo lifted the basket in his hand to his wrist before replying, "Now I can get out of bed and walk for a while."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mrs. Song seemed even happier than her, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect your brother to recover so quickly. It seems that he will be fully recovered in less than a year."

"Really, that's really great." Han Qianluo was very happy to hear what Song said.

At this time, the butcher weighed the meat and handed it to Mrs. Song, saying, "Ma'am, your meat is ready, take it." Then he turned to Han Qianluo and said, "Why did Miss Han come here so late today? Good meat Almost gone."

"Going to do some errands, so it's a bit late, how did you sell the meat today?" Han Qianluo asked, his eyes turned around the remaining meat, but he didn't find any particularly good meat.

This butcher is the kind of butcher in Han Qianluo's impression. He is burly and even a little fat. Love coming here for meat.

"It's all leftovers. I'll give you a cheaper price, nine cents a catty." The butcher said bluntly, and found that Han Qianluo didn't know what to choose, so he picked out the remaining meat and picked it out. A fat and thin piece of meat asked, "How about this one?"

"Yes, yes, but a little less." Han Qianluo said hesitantly.

The butcher searched for a while, found two smaller pieces of meat and said: "How about these two pieces, these are extra when someone bought them before."

"Just three dollars." Han Qianluo nodded and said.

The butcher quickly hung the three pieces of meat on the scale hook and weighed them, saying, "It's two catties in total, and it's worth eighteen Wen." Han Qianluo put the meat in the basket, paid the money and left, going to store the ox cart shop, and then went back with Han Qingquan.

Han Qianluo drove the ox cart to the wide road, and suddenly saw a carriage passing by, the speed was much faster than her ox cart, which made him think that he should buy another carriage , It is also more convenient when on the road. This ox cart is also convenient for transporting goods, but it is not enough to go on the road.

"Brother, I want to buy a carriage, what do you think?" Han Qianluo asked the elder brother who was sitting in the carriage.

"It's good to buy a carriage, and it will be more convenient when you go out in the future." Han Qingquan replied quickly.

Hearing this, Han Qianluo said happily, "Then I'll buy it tomorrow. Brother, what do you think it would be better for us to buy one?"

"Just buy the most common two-seater carriage without an umbrella. This kind of carriage is lighter and faster when traveling." Han Qingquan replied.

"it is good."

After lunch at noon, Han Qianluo hurried out to buy old hens. The first thing she thought of was Gao Shi. She used to buy eggs from her when making cakes. Her family raised many chickens and ducks, so Han Qianluo I think there must be an old hen in her house.

Han Qianluo walked to the door of Gao's house and shouted loudly: "Aunt Gao, are you at home?" Soon Gao came out of the house, wiped his hands and said, "So it's Qianluo Yeah, come in quickly."

"Aunt Gao, do you have an old hen at home?" Han Qianluo walked in and asked.

"Of course the old hen has them. Why do you ask this?" Gao turned around and asked in confusion.

Han Qianluo said that she wanted to buy an old hen.After hearing this, Gao hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "You know this, all my chickens are used to lay eggs."

Before coming here, Han Qianluo had thought of this possibility, so she was not discouraged, and continued to ask: "Aunt Gao, you have so many chickens in your family, it doesn't matter if you sell a few to me, and the chickens born by the old hen The eggs are relatively small, and the eggs of a newborn hen are bigger, so you can sell me a few."

"Okay, okay, I'm so familiar, I'll sell you a few." Gao Shi said while turning to catch the old hen, and at the same time said, "I wouldn't be willing to sell these if it was someone else, that is, You girl, I sold it to you."

"I knew Aunt Gao that you were the best." Han Qianluo praised with a smile.

This sentence was obviously very useful to Mrs. Gao, and a happy smile appeared on his face, but he still pretended to be polite and said: "I am not a good person."

While talking, the two had reached the backyard where Gao kept her chickens. Just behind her house, there were dozens of chickens, which were surrounded by fences made of bamboo.

"Aunt Gao, your chicken looks really good." Han Qianluo said a polite word casually.

"It took me a lot of time to raise these chickens." Gao said proudly.
