Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 94

A person like Qian Feng who is not calm enough and wants to do a big thing, when he starts to do it, his whole body will be as excited as chicken blood.

Qian Feng was full of fighting spirit at this time, and all obstacles were like floating clouds in front of his eyes. He felt that he could push these floating clouds away one by one by standing on tiptoe and stretching out his hand.

On the way to the county seat, he walked like a gust of wind, but Shiliu, who usually liked to walk in front of him, fell behind this time and trotted behind him.In the past few times, their cattle strolled leisurely, and today they trotted behind Qian Feng.

Qian Feng obviously only drank two bowls of porridge in the morning, and didn't even have time to make pancakes in order to hurry, but now he feels like he has eaten three big bowls of dry rice, and his whole body is full of energy. on.

Today was a little later than the last time I went out, but I arrived at the county seat earlier, before noon, Qian Feng set up a stall with Shiliu first, and asked Shiliu to sit there and not move the stall.Because the weights of the four ducks were already weighed at home, Qian Feng told Pomegranate one by one how much they could sell for each, and also marked the ducks so that they would not be confused, so that there was no need to worry about Pomegranate getting the wrong money.

After settling these things, Qian Feng went to the vicinity of the Liyuan where he watched the play last time.Last time he saw a few people carrying feldspar steps in front of a large courtyard. He didn't know who the courtyard belonged to, it must be a big family.

When he ran here, only a master mason was plastering mud to fill the cracks in the rocks.

Qian Feng stepped forward and bowed, and asked very politely: "Master, do you know where you bought these stones?"

The master craftsman did not raise his head, but carefully worked on the work in hand, and said inarticulately: "Isn't there only one Nanmen stone shop in our county, where else can I buy it?"

"What stone pavement in the south? Where is it?"

Hearing Qian Feng's anxious voice, the old master glanced up at him, and said, "The Nanmen Shipu! It's just in the south of the city, about five or six miles away from here. Just go south."

Qian Feng thanked him and ran towards the south. The master continued to work, muttering, "It's not that the big hen is rushing to lay eggs in the nest, why is it so urgent?"

Although the South Gate Stone Pavement is in the south of the city, it is in the west.Qian Feng ran to the southeast, and then to the southwest. At this moment, he finally ran out of strength and couldn't run anymore. He came to the south gate and sat down beside the stone shop. He sat on a hemp stone and wiped his sweat while looking at these with a smirk. A large stone strip chiseled flat.

In a corner not far away, a few strong men with sweaty heads were hewing a large round stone slab, which looked like it was going to be made into a stone table.Qian Feng was about to go up to ask the strong men where they bought the chisels and sledgehammers in their hands, when suddenly a young man came out of the shop.

"Guest officer, do you want to buy stone bars?"

Qian Feng pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't want to buy it, but I want to sell it. Do you accept it here?"

The little guy snorted, "Don't be funny, how could you have stone strips, all the stones in our shop are transported from the famous Yunjian Stone Square in Suzhou, and there is only one stone shop in Qinghe County. If you don’t buy it, don’t hang around here, we still have to do business.”

The little guy turned his head and went in, Qian Feng didn't bother to bother with him, sneaked to a few strong stonemasons squatting, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, where did you buy the chisel and big hammer in your hand?" ?”

The strong man raised his head and grinned, "Why, you want to do my job too? This shop is no longer occupied, and it's useless for you to buy it."

Qian Feng struck up a conversation and laughed, "I'm not working here. I'm going to Suzhou to find a job. Didn't I hear that there is a Yunjian stone workshop in Suzhou?"

The brawny man nodded, "Oh, you want to go so far up the mountain to mine rough rocks? Suzhou is three hundred miles away from here. Let me tell you the truth, I didn't buy these by myself, but the shopkeeper. I heard that there seems to be a blacksmith shop in Sanlibao, and his family makes these things specially for Yunjian Shifang, but the road is far away, at least thirty miles away."

Qian Feng was so tired that he couldn't breathe well. Hearing that he had to walk thirty miles to find Sanlibao, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, "It's so far away, in which direction?"

"Even Yunjian Shifang, which is three hundred miles away, is bought from him. What is thirty miles away? This iron shop is very famous. Most of the farm tools in our county come from him. Even the county The knives and swords used by the yamen are all from their hands. I heard that there are several iron shops in Suzhou, but the Yunjian Stone Workshop is far away, so I have to come here to buy Sanlibao just because of the name. Go west and ask along the way. Many people know where Three Mile Fort is."

"Thank you, brother." Qian Feng gasped and said goodbye.

Qian Feng came to Pomegranate again, and handed two of the buns he bought to Pomegranate, holding two in his hand, and said anxiously that he was going to Sanlibao, and he might not be able to come back until night, and told her to go back to live in the evening That inn rested, and he went directly to the inn to find her when he came back at night.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely and panting, Shiliu said, "Qian Feng, why are you in such a hurry, it's fine if you can't walk slowly, and the iron shop can't run away, just now you kept running around, as if rushing It's like going to save lives."

Qian Feng was startled suddenly, "Yeah, why am I in such a hurry, it's only a day later or a day earlier."

Shiliu laughed loudly, "I saw you running wildly just now, it seems that one day later that barren mountain will be able to run with long legs."

Qian Feng patted his forehead and thought to himself, this head has been so hot, why can't he calm down all of a sudden.

Shiliu smiled and ran to a big tree in the distance to bring the ox over, "Ride the ox to find Sanlibao. In the evening, I'll just push the cart to the inn."

The inn was just a few dozen steps ahead, and Qian Feng was not worried that she would get lost.

Qian Feng climbed up the back of the bull, winked at Shiliu and laughed, "Pomeliu, I found that you are the best woman in the world. If it was any other woman, she would have cried, made trouble, hanged herself yesterday, and packed up her things if she didn't hang herself." Go back to my mother's house. Like today, I guess I've been scolded bloody."

Pomegranate doesn't boast, but when Qian Feng praised her like that, she couldn't stop laughing, and then said, "I'm not very good at cursing."

Qian Feng also followed suit with a silly smile, "At that time, I will not only teach you to calculate accounts and read characters, but also teach you to swear! You should hurry up and eat the buns, you must be starving now."

Shiliu picked up the buns with a smile and started to eat. She was really hungry, because she didn't eat much in the morning, and Qian Feng wasted time by running around just now, and it was hard for her to leave the stall.

Qian Feng drove the cattle with a whip, and went to Sanlibao while eating buns.
