A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

"Mrs. Chen, don't think that my cow is expensive. It is a cow with strong reproductive ability. When the time comes, you will breed her and give birth to a few calves next year. That will be terrible." The other person said. With.

"My Aunt Chen really wants to buy cattle. Brother, please give me a lower price." Liu Chuan helped negotiate the price.

"Brother, do you only sell cattle? Do you have a carriage?" Chen Changsheng asked.

Bullock carts are usually equipped with a sedan or a pallet cart. Pallet carts are cheap and only cost half a tael of silver to buy a pair. For sedans, two taels are needed.

"My cow was originally equipped with a car. I heard from Xiaochuan that Mrs. Chen seemed to have only bought the bullock cart to pull goods. Maybe there was no need for the car, so it was unloaded before it could be disposed of."

Chen Changsheng thought about it for a while and said, "Brother, how about this? I'll take your car as well, so that you don't have to look for other buyers. For the sake of my happiness, let's go together." Give me two pieces of silver."

The man saw that Chen Changsheng really wanted to buy, and also thought that the matter in his hometown was really urgent and could not be delayed, so he nodded and agreed to make the deal, "Okay, Madam is a cheerful person, so I will give you seven taels together. I'll go Hitch the car and follow me."

The eldest brother led his own cow in the front, while Chen Changsheng and Liu Chuan followed behind.

Chen Changsheng had never driven a bullock cart before, so she followed behind and silently learned how the other party drove a cart.

The three people left the cattle market and walked a long way through several streets before reaching a remote yard. The eldest brother handed the rope to Liu Chuan's hand, took out the key, unlocked the door, and opened the doorway. "The car is inside, I can just pull it out and hang it up."

Chen Changsheng was waiting outside the door.

The elder brother pulled out a 90% new car and put it on carefully, saying, "Mrs. Chen, you are also lucky. If I hadn't been in an emergency and had to return to my hometown, I had to quickly dispose of the property. My brand new car I really don’t want to sell the car.”

Chen Changsheng opened the curtain of the car and looked inside. There were seats on three sides, and they were all cushioned.

The eldest brother said proudly, "These seats are movable and can be removed, making it very convenient to transport people and goods. I specially found someone to make them."

He patted the seat in front of him and said, "It's all done. I'll show you how to catch the bus first, so you can watch."

Chen Changsheng and Liu Chuan stepped aside.

The elder brother skillfully shook the rope, flicked the whip with his right hand, and said "moo", and the ox cart moved forward steadily. He pulled the reins on the left side, and the ox cart began to turn. He quickly circled around and came back to where he was.

"Mrs. Chen, come and try?" The eldest brother jumped out of the car and handed over the whip.

Chen Changsheng had never driven a bullock cart before. She followed her elder brother's example and sat with her legs crossed. She roared "moo, moo" twice and whipped her twice, but the cow didn't listen to her.

The eldest brother thought she was a little funny when he saw her, so he taught her a few more times.

Chen Changsheng practiced repeatedly in the open space outside the hospital many times, and finally mastered a little bit of skills and was able to drive the bullock cart somewhat decently.

She was excited, it was great! Haha, I am finally a car owner now, and I can even drive myself.

After happily paying the money, Chen Changsheng patted the seat next to him and motioned for Liu Chuan to sit over, "Xiaochuan, get in the car. Auntie will take you for a ride."

Liu Chuan also had a face full of joy, got on the bullock cart, and the two of them drove the cart away.

It was already noon when Chen Changsheng drove the bullock cart back to Liu Chuan's small noodle stall. After parking the cart, she opened her mouth and said, "Xiaochuan, my aunt is hungry, bring me a bowl of shredded pork noodles." "

"Okay, aunt, please wait."

Looking back at his ox cart, Chen Changsheng became even more happy. This cart was really good.

She originally thought about getting a cart rack, but the privacy of a cart is not good. If she bought something in the city and just put it on the cart for the people in the village to see, it would easily make people jealous.

The car is much better. Once the curtain is opened, no one can see what is inside, and people can still sit there.

The noodles came quickly, but Chen Changsheng was not in a hurry to eat. She took out half a tael of silver from her sleeve and handed it to Liu Chuan, "This is the money for today's noodles and Xiaochuan for your hard work in helping me find the oxcart."

"Auntie, you must have given me too much." Liu Chuan swallowed and stammered.

He just ran a few errands, it was not a big deal, but Aunt Chen actually gave him so much money.

Chen Changsheng pursed his lips and said with a smile, "No more, no more. You helped me find a car and you thought so much about me. Moreover, the cow and the car together only cost seven taels of silver. I saved a lot of money by helping my aunt." Two. It’s all your credit, and you deserve the money.”

Liu Chuan still hesitated.

"Take it quickly. If you don't take it, my aunt won't dare to ask you to help with anything in the future." Chen Changsheng pretended to be displeased.

Liu Chuan then carefully put away the broken silver, "Auntie, if you have anything else to do, I'll go right away."

"There really is such a thing."

She had just bought a bullock cart, and it would be a waste to go back with the cart empty. She might as well buy some more things and take them back to the village.

"Auntie, I went to the grain store in the east of the city this morning and bought some rice, noodles and beans. I want to buy another batch. Please help me make a trip. When I got there, I told the shopkeeper that it was a woman who bought a lot of things in the morning. If you come, prepare another copy as it is and deliver it to the gate of the county."

She took out another six taels of silver and handed it to Liu Chuan with confidence, "Tell the shopkeeper that I won't make another trip tomorrow."

Liu Chuan originally wanted to do it right away, but when he saw more than six taels of silver, he was stunned and said, "Auntie, how many things did you buy? Why do you have to pay so much silver?"

"My aunt has a large family, and a dozen or so people consume a lot every day." Chen Changsheng whispered as if he was remembering something. "When I went to the grain store to buy things in the morning, I heard from the store clerk that there was a locust plague in the north, and rice was lost. Quite a bit, the price of food may be going up, so I’ll stock up a little this time just in case anything changes.”

"A price increase? Then my pasta business will definitely be affected." Liu Chuan looked worried, "My wife and I went back to our hometown in the countryside during the Dragon Boat Festival two days ago. My father said that we found several locusts in the fields. , I thought it was just one or two, but I didn’t expect there was really a locust plague.”

Liu Chuan's hometown is also in a village surrounding Baishui County. He has his elder brother, sister-in-law, and two elderly people at home, and they live on a few acres of land.

After he and his wife Chunya got married, they didn't want to dig food in the fields, so they went to the city to start a noodle business. I managed to make ends meet, but faced rising food prices.

"No, I have to buy some white flour and some rice." Liu Chuan sighed and took the money and left.

Chen Changsheng picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and looked a little solemn. It seemed that the locust thing was true.
