Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 40 Lying is a Strength

Chapter 41 Lying is a strength
Boss Gong was overjoyed. He earned three taels of silver a day. He had never been so lucky in his life.

When they were about to leave, Jin Yang told them: "This thing is an ominous thing, and it will do great harm to people who have been in close contact with it for a long time. The reason why people in Prince Gan's mansion almost died is because of it. It’s because of its magic power that it took away your soul. Your short-term contact is nothing. If you stay with it often, you will suffer from a strange disease that cannot be cured. Don’t tell people about this, so as not to arouse people’s intimidation...”

Those people were so frightened that they screamed and were about to run away. Jin Yang laughed and called them and Boss Gong, and told them to come back to work the next day and dug out the forty acres of fertile land outside the yard, which was suitable for transplanting grapes according to the rules. After the tree pits were completed, aqueducts were dug to reach various fields, and the sludge from the bottom of the lake in the garden was cleaned and transported to the tree pits for use as fertilizer for grapes.But because there is no danger, the wages have to be the same as usual.

The old Zhaotou and his wife were left behind. They are nearly 60 years old. They have lived in this house for more than [-] or [-] years.

The two were grateful to Aunt Zhao for the 'Little Wolf Shrimp' and the improved leather boots for solving their big problem, and gave Aunt Zhao 50 taels of silver as a reward, and promised to give them monthly silver in the future, which made them very grateful .In the past, it was only Lao Zhaotou who received four hundred copper coins a month to look after the house alone. This time, the two gave each a monthly salary of five hundred copper coins. Liu Tao also said that after the family moved in, they could Compared with Lao Huang's family, the monthly payment will be increased.

Aunt Zhao saw that the two of them would be their masters in the future, and that such a large yard and the fields outside the wall needed to be managed, so she thought of her son.Since the two grandsons got sick, the only five acres of land in the family were sold to treat the children. The children were not rescued, and there was no land for them to settle down. They could only stand on the street and sell coolies. At that time, there was no work to do for a few days, and the couple was too embarrassed to come to the old couple for a meal.Now the owner needs manpower, why not recommend it.

"Boss, if you need someone who knows the basics, can you bring my son and daughter-in-law? My son has even studied, he is not evil-hearted, and he speaks in a well-organized way..."

"Okay then, let him come over when we have time and let's take a look."

In the afternoon, his son came. His name was Zhao Zhong. He was not yet 30 years old.Liu Tao gave him several questions that mixed addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Although he was slow in mental arithmetic, the answers were all correct.The two of them looked satisfied, so they asked Old Zhao to help manage the work.His daughter-in-law is also a neat person, and she works very neatly.The two of them told them: "If they become 'family members' in the future, they will be treated the same as Lao Huang and his wife."

After hearing the news that Mr. Xu was going back, they also wanted to go back together. They gave Lao Zhaotou 300 taels of silver and asked him to find someone to dismantle the hall and build a cowshed on the original site when they were not here. Rectify the small Jiuqu bridge and repair damaged houses and courtyard walls.Lord Jia once asked them to block the gate of Prince Gan’s Mansion as soon as possible after they moved into Prince Gan’s Mansion, in order not to violate the royal form, and to block the gate as soon as possible, so as not to be afraid that some people will use this article.

Jin Yang followed suit this time, and handed over to Old Zhao to give him full command.The large quantities of bricks, tiles and wood materials obtained from the demolition of the main hall just happened to be useful, and there was no need to spend extra money to buy materials for repairing the courtyard walls of the house.

They returned home, and the family began planning everything for the evacuation.The front yard has been given to the uncle, and Liu Tao plans to give the house to the second uncle and grandparents.The second uncle is a powerful catcher of the county government. With him in Goudong Village, some youngsters would not dare to bully the outsiders, not to mention that the house deeds and land deeds were all given to him.

For the pond that grandma took away, Liu Tao gave ten taels of silver to her second uncle, and told him: "If my grandma wants to sell the pond, no one else will buy it, so you should tell her that you want to buy it, and make a bargain price of ten taels." Two, don’t give her an extra copper coin, in the end grandma will definitely not be able to resist you, after you buy it, you can grow lotus roots, and you can earn dozens of taels of silver in a year!”

The third uncle and the third aunt are good people. Once they leave, they will lose their money-making projects. Although they can also make shrimp cages and fish cages, Liu Tao will not let them continue to do this business, and they are not allowed to spread the technology to the outside world.She gave Uncle San the capital to buy furs produced in the mountains. Uncle San had hunted with others for a year and knew what kind of furs were at what price.As long as he gave it reasonably, hunters in many nearby villages who lived near the mountains would sell him the hides they got from hunting.Even buying and tanning, as long as each piece of skin gives him some profit, it is guaranteed to earn more than fishing.

After making arrangements, Liu Tao and Jin Yang went to her grandma and told her: "Grandma, our cows need to be weighed, and we need to take the bull back."

"It's a good idea. You see, my family has fattened the bull and wanted to go back. There is such a good thing there. What did it look like when we brought it back? Look at what the bull looks like now?"

Not to mention, the bull has been really good since they snatched it back. It is quite different from when she and Fatty just snatched it back. In fact, it is not their credit, but the bull has not yet grown up at that time. This time, when I saw this cow, it not only grew a lot, but also became brighter and fatter.Usually grandma likes grandpa to drive her and Big Fatty to the market in an ox cart. Many people envy her along the way.The scandal of her being spanked by the county magistrate was almost covered up, so of course Liu Tao would not give it to her when she came to ask for it today.

"Grandma, just use it for three to five days. What do we want this bull for other than breeding? Who wants to ride in an ox cart if there is a carriage at home? It's okay. If the cow gives birth to a calf in the future, I will give it to you for raising.... "

"Really, can you count on what you say?"

"Of course, can Brother Jinyang testify!"

"You have to pay for this cow to be bred. Your second cousin-in-law took it for three days that time, but gave you fifty copper coins?"

"Grandma, you have raised the cow so well. We are grateful to you before it is too late. How can we use it for nothing? When we send it back to you, we will give you a hundred copper coins!"

Grandma heard that there would be another income, and she was so happy from ear to ear. Since Liu Tao said that, she was indirectly acknowledging that the ownership of the cow belonged to her.Thinking of getting a big bull for nothing, a bull calf for nothing, and money for breeding..., he was very happy and sent the two of them out of the house very rarely.

The two led the cow home, and along the way Jin Yang praised Liu Tao: "Tao'er, I didn't realize that lying has become your strong point?"

"What kind of tricks am I using against someone? For my grandma, I can only outwit it. It's useless to force it!"

The day after they brought the cattle back, they went to Fucheng again and informed Mr. Xu and shopkeeper Jin about the move. Shopkeeper Jin was very surprised to hear that the two moved out together, and even the workshop that made the crispy rice.
