The official road of the farmer

After Qin Yaoliang stayed at Ye Junshu's home for two full days, he left contentedly with the manuscript that Ye Junshu nestled in the study and racked his brains and painstakingly written.

Ye Junshu thought vainly, it is not easy to make money these days, and he especially admires those authors who have written hundreds of thousands of words.

He stayed up for two full days and two nights, barely squeezed out [-] to [-] words.However, he finally gave his brother an explanation. As for the story that will come out later, Ye Junshu expressed that he will wait and see.

After one matter was resolved, Ye Junshu felt much more relaxed.

Although he is still worrying about work, the money he has saved in the past two years is still enough to spend for a period of time. He can only run more in the mountains to find some medicinal materials for hunting, and take the rest step by step.

But the land should be bought first.

I was lucky today, I killed two hares, Ye Junshu kept a small one for his own food, and he carried the other one to Uncle Rong's house when it was just getting dark.

Uncle Rong's house is the same as his own. It is a farmyard with green bricks and black tiles, with two entrances and two exits, but Uncle Rong has three generations living under the same roof, which is much more lively than his home.

Probably because people from the village might come looking for him at night, the door of Uncle Rong's house was still concealed.

Ye Junshu pushed the door open as soon as he knocked on it, and he simply called out, "Uncle Rong, are you home?"

"Who?" The next moment, a soft voice asked, and then I heard footsteps approaching.

The person who opened the door was a young brother in his 20s. Ye Junshu greeted him with a smile, "Brother." This person was Uncle Rong's eldest son-in-law.

"It's Zizhou." Brother stepped aside, "Come in quickly."

Ye Junshu stepped in and asked, "Is Uncle Rong at home?"

"Here." He led Ye Junshu into the back room, and raised his voice, "Father, Zizhou is here to look for you."

Then he said to Ye Junshu, "Go in, bro, let's go to work first." He just passed the yard and heard the voice to open the door, and he had to go to the kitchen to help Eminem.

"Okay, thank you bro."

When Ye Junshu walked in, several members of Uncle Rong's family were in the back room.

He took the lead in greeting one by one: "Uncle Rong, Brother Wen, Brother Yu..."

Brother Yu also called out, "Brother Zizhou."

"Uncle Zhou." Xiao Qingqing shouted in disbelief.

Brother Yu knew that Ye Junshu had come to talk to his father about something, so he took his nephew down.

Ye Junshu handed the half-dead hare to Ye Junwen, "Brother Wen, this is the rabbit I killed today, let Qing Qing have a taste."

"This..." Ye Junwen hesitated, looking at his father.

Uncle Rong said, "It's all here, what kind of wild animals are you bringing, it's too strange."

Ye Junshu smiled and said, "It's because I don't see you that I want to show my filial piety to you, Uncle Rong. You have helped our brothers a lot over the years, and you should."

As Ye Junshu said, he stuffed the rabbit into Ye Junwen's hands, and then said to Uncle Rong: "What's more, I'm here today, but I have something to trouble you, Uncle Rong. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to open my mouth."

Uncle Rong nodded and said, "That's fine, Uncle Rong will accept it this time." People in the village would send some things to him if they asked him to do something, and he would accept anything that was not too expensive, and his husband would send it back another day things back.

Ye Junwen smiled and patted Ye Junshu on the shoulder, and carried the rabbit to the kitchen, ready to let his mother take care of it.

Uncle Rong asked Ye Junshu to sit down and asked, "Tell me, what can I do for you?"

"It's like this. As you know, my family's land was sold out a few years ago. This time, I want to buy a few acres of land. Uncle Rong, do you know if there is any land for sale?"

"It's time to buy some land." Uncle Rong nodded, he felt at ease when he had land in his hand, as the children of Zhou Boy's family grew up day by day, it would be easier to have land.

So he asked, "How much do you want to buy?"

"The boy is thinking, just plant enough land for our brothers to chew on now, and we can't take care of too much, just three to five acres." Naturally, the output of crops today is not as good as modern crops. For the tax part, the output of a few acres of land in two seasons a year is enough for their brothers for a year, and maybe they can save some food.

Uncle Rong nodded, "I will help you pay attention, and I will notify you if there is any news."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Rong." Ye Junshu said with a smile.

After staying for a while, Ye Junshu bid farewell to the village head's family and got up to go home.

He walked through the country lanes at night, and the cicadas sang and the frogs sang in the dark.Having been in this era for so long, what makes him most happy is that there is no trace of pollution here, the air is very fresh, the sky is very clear, and even the leaves are green and clear.

The sky at night is not lonely, the sky is full of stars twinkling and twinkling, and the orange halo is bright, as if it is within reach.

Ye Junshu didn't wait a few days before Uncle Rong brought the news.

Not far from the entrance of the village, there are two lands for sale, but they are not high-end land, but medium-sized land, and only two acres. After thinking about it, Ye Junshu decided to buy these two lands first.

Within two days, Uncle Rong took him to the county to go through the formalities, and got the land deed, and the two pieces of land belonged to his family.

It's just that the previous owner of these two lands had already planted japonica rice, so it was not easy to deliver on the spot, so the two families agreed that the land would be planted by his family next year.

With this arrangement, Ye Junshu's deposit has been reduced, but with the land, he is still at ease.

Another morning, when it was just dawn, the dark and simple wooden door was opened, and a young boy of fourteen or fifteen years old came out from inside, stepped on the threshold, turned around and looked inside again, "Brother is leaving! Are you sure you don't want to go?" The young man's clear voice was full of affection.

"I'm not going!"

The crisp voice responded in the next moment.

Looking inside, an eight-year-old brother carved in jade and jade was pulling a six-year-old brother and ran quickly into the house.

"Brother, we are not going!"

The young man standing at the door was Ye Junshu.

At this time, this scene has happened several times.

Ye Junshu was helpless, he felt sorry for the children being bored at home, and only occasionally went to the village for a walk to get some fresh air, so he wanted to take them for a walk in the county.

However, the children didn't cooperate. For some reason, Brother Lu had been reluctant to go to the county seat. He didn't have the slightest curiosity of a child. Brother Qin wanted to follow, but Brother Lu wouldn't let him go.

So Brother Qin did not go in the end.

Xiao Shan wanted to go with him, but the twins needed to be taken care of, and they were worried about leaving it to Brother Lu and Brother Qin. Ye Junshu could only wait for Ming's mother to take Xiao Shan to see one day, and he stayed at home.

Ye Junshu walked to the assembly point at the entrance of the village alone.

Today is the market day, and when he arrived, there were already many folks there.

As soon as he walked over, someone greeted him.

"Boy Zhou, go to the county again!"

"Yes!" Ye Junshu replied with a smile.

Since he was born in filial piety, Ye Junshu went to the county to buy a lot of meat and pork bones every few days, and made soup every day to eat meat to nourish his body.

Although Ye Junshu has been working hard to feed the children, there is no nutrition after all. After three years, the children are thin and thin except for the two small lumps of baby fat on their faces.

Although this is the state of most of the children in the village.

But it made Ye Junshu feel very distressed.

In his opinion, a child must be white and fat to be cute.

After replenishing the soup during this period of time, the faces of the brothers finally had a rosy complexion, their small bodies swelled up, and they were raised by a section.

Ye Junshu has a great sense of accomplishment and is more actively involved in the feeding business.

He himself has kept up with his nutrition during this period, and his height has gradually increased. When he sleeps at night, he can still hear the sound of bones cracking, his joints are sore, and he can't sleep.

Ye Junshu has been complaining about his height for a long time, but now that he has started to develop, he naturally pays attention to it, and pays attention to nutrition and exercise.

So in less than a month, the sleeves of his clothes were all shortened.

Ye Junshu went to the market this time and was going to buy some cloth, so he asked Ming's mother to help him make two sets of clothes.

This time Hu Lao Er's family was also there, and seeing that Ye Junshu's back basket seemed to be quite heavy, he rolled his small eyes and said sharply, "Boy Zhou, what kind of wild animal did you sell in the county this time? How much can you sell at a time?"

Ye Junshu smiled and said gently: "Not much, I sent it for Uncle Li."

Hu Laoer’s family still had to ask in detail, but the uncles and uncles on the side began to chatter, “It’s none of your business how much the boat boy sells? It doesn’t bother you, why are there so many things?”

"Aren't I concerned about Boy Zhou? What if I get scammed by unscrupulous merchants?"

"Hey! I also care about your family. Didn't Mr. Hu come back from working a while ago, how much money did he bring back?"

"That's right, how much did you take?"

Hu Laoer's family was so choked up that they couldn't speak.

Ye Junshu smiled and did not speak, listening to the gossip in the village. Because there were too many people, this bullock cart could not take Ye Junshu's turn. The men and some young brothers all walked, and a large group of people chatted and walked. I don't think it's a long way.

I went to the county seat with the folks, and everyone dispersed in twos and threes.

Ye Junshu went alone, directly to the largest restaurant in the county.

It is said to be the largest restaurant, but it is actually a two-story building with the largest overall area in the county, but the business is relatively the best, because there is a skilled chef, and people with a little spare money like to come here for tooth festivals.

Uncle Li has always sent wild animals to this family, and the two parties have been friends for more than ten years, and they are old acquaintances.

In the past, Uncle Li himself had always delivered it to the door, but since Ye Junshu became a filial piety, this task has been handed over to Ye Junshu, and Ye Junshu has always been the one to deliver it.

After going back and forth, he also developed friendship with the boss and buddy in the restaurant.

He went into the back door of the restaurant familiarly, and went directly to the kitchen.

Although it's not time for dinner yet, the kitchen is already bustling with activity. The vegetables are washed, the meat is chopped, and a rather rich middle-aged man is directing with his waist inserted.

Seeing Ye Junshu approaching, he greeted enthusiastically: "Boy Zhou, you're here!"

Ye Junshu also greeted with a smile: "Yes, fat uncle."

The middle-aged man is the chef of the restaurant and also the owner's brother, and he also has the right to speak here. He strode up to Ye Junshu and said, "Show Fatty Uncle what wild things he brought this time."

Ye Junshu put the basket on the ground, and the fat uncle couldn't wait to open it. Slowly, the basket was full of wild animals. He lifted the top one, "Well, the roe deer is quite fat and tender. I just added braised roe deer vegetables and hares. , Wild Pheasant, good boy, the harvest is good!"

The fat uncle laughed loudly, and patted Ye Junshu's shoulder with his big hand.

Ye Junshu smiled and said, "Uncle Fat, you are praising the wrong person. Uncle Li beat most of them. How can a boy have such abilities."

"It's all the same, it's the same! When will you shoot another wild deer? Fat uncle will never treat you badly."

"I think so, too, but this wild deer is hard to find. I haven't had such luck recently. Of course, if I do meet it, I will definitely send it to you, Fat Uncle."

"Ha ha……"

While chatting, the two men were not busy, counting the prey and settling the money.

Because of the hot weather, the dead wild animals stink the next day. Basically, the wild animals that were seriously injured during hunting were eaten by themselves, so the wild animals brought to the restaurant are still alive, but they are all fainted. Now You have to put it in a cage first.

"A total of 240 eight Wen, I will give you 250."

Ye Junshu took the money without counting it, put it directly into the money bag, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Fat, that kid won't bother you anymore, business is booming!"

"According to your good words haha..."

After leaving the restaurant, Ye Junshu went straight to the cloth shop, ready to buy some cloth.

Today's flow of people is several times higher than usual, and the vendors are all hawking vigorously, not as listless as usual.

After entering the cloth shop, Ye Junshu realized that he was not very good at buying...

Ye Junshu looked around and could only ask, "Boss, I want to make two summer clothes, what kind of cloth is suitable?"

The owner of the cloth shop noticed the young man with a strange face when Ye Junshu entered the door. Not only him, but also the customers who bought cloth in the store noticed his existence.

Even if he was wearing coarse old clothes, he didn't look like he came from a mountain village at all. Didn't everyone see him blatantly or secretly peeking at him?If he hadn't been greeting other customers, he would have gone up to make friends.

Ye Junshu really didn't notice other people's gazes, he was thinking about what kind of cloth to buy, but he couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask the owner of the store for help.

Hearing Ye Junshu's inquiry, the owner of the cloth shop warmly greeted him, "Hey! My little brother looks energetic. It's just right to buy this kind of cloth. The color is bright and breathable. Once you put it on, it will set off your temperament, which will definitely attract you. look!"

Ye Junshu: "..."

He didn't know if it was good or not, but he felt comfortable, hesitated for a while, and asked, "How much is a foot?"

"This cloth is not expensive at all, it's only [-] cents a foot." The boss spared no effort to sell it, boasting that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth, it is absolutely high quality and cheap.

When Ye Junshu heard it, he felt even more unreliable, so he simply thought, why not ask Ming's mother to help buy it!

He was about to leave when a group of people came to meet him two by two——

"Boy Zhou, you also come to buy cloth!"

"Yes, all Shumboms."

A bunch of Shumboms came in, filling the cloth shop.

"Have you bought the cloth? If you haven't bought it, just buy it together, it's cheaper."

"I haven't bought it yet." Ye Junshu said with a smile, "The boss introduced me to buy these cloths. No, I haven't decided yet, so I met everyone."

"How much is it?" San Bomu asked casually.

"Eighteen characters per foot."

Sanbomu was startled, and shouted: "What?! Boss, you can't bully our Zhou boy just by looking at him! Eighteen cents a foot? Why don't you steal money?"

Another Bohm also said: "That's right, look at the quality, not to mention it's not durable, it's also dirty!"

"But my fabric is cool and breathable, and it's really worth the price!" the boss argued.

"Hey! What are we peasants doing with such good clothes? Aren't you cheating? Either you sell it cheaper, or we don't buy it!"

"How about it, Shiliuwen, I'll sell it!" The boss gritted his teeth and said.

Sanbomu clapped the case, and said firmly and authentically: "Fourteen essays!"

When the boss heard this, he immediately had a bitter face, "Isn't this a loss for me? You must let me earn some money for this business, right?"

"Fourteen! Not even a penny more! Boss, you have to think clearly, we don't just buy your little fabric, there are so many people in our Yejia Village, if each of you buys a little, you earn more than that."

"...Okay, just fourteen coins!" The boss looked around, and the people who were all customers were all customers. He gritted his teeth and agreed.

San Bomu said with satisfaction, "Boy Zhou, see how much you want. Although the clothes made of this fabric are not easy to wear and work, but your family is full of children, the clothes are suitable, comfortable and breathable."

Ye Junshu: "..."

"That's right, Zhou boy, see what else you need, buy them together, it's a good bargain!"

Ye Junshu: "..." He felt that the boss was about to cry.

The bargaining ability of this group of elders is really amazing!Ye Junshu said: "Then I'll buy half a horse first." He just happened to make a whole body for the children, he thought for a while, and said again. "In addition, I also want to buy some cloth to make clothes I usually wear, but I don't know what kind of fabric to buy."

"This is simple, you can buy this fine linen cloth, it's cheap and cost-effective, and the quality is good!" Another uncle pulled Ye Junshu over and strongly recommended it.

"And this one, this one is also good..."

When Ye Junshu came out of Buzhuang, he wiped off his sweat with a look of fear on his face, he really... couldn't handle it.

Under the suggestion of the villagers, he bought a pile of cloth that was said to be useful.

And because they were going to the meeting point in the village, they put down the things they bought first, and they were very enthusiastic to help him take them there by the way.

The elders are amazing!This pass has saved him a lot of money.Ye Junshu felt that it was necessary for him to learn.

Ye Junshu looked while walking, and the stalls on both sides were full of gadgets, which dazzled his eyes. He bought all the toys that he thought were interesting, and started to try to bargain. Ye Junshu let go.

Although most of them were a penny or two cheaper, they accumulated a lot, and he also bought small hair ropes for Brother Lu and Brother Qin.Seeing that other little brothers love these colorful ropes, Ye Junshu doesn't want others to have his little brother but not. Even if his ability is limited, he will give it to those who can afford it.

After shopping for the children, Ye Junshu went to the rice store and bought a few bags of rice noodles.

Wait for things to be bought almost before turning to the market.

Today's market is also lively, people come and go, everyone wants to buy some meat to satisfy their hunger, so the only two pork stalls are very busy.

Ye Junshu took a look and stood behind the line.

The team moved quickly, and it was Ye Junshu's turn in no time, and the young man who was helping him smiled and said, "Brother Zizhou, you are here!"

The vicious stall owner looked up, and immediately said cheerfully: "Boy Zhou, come to buy meat again!"

"Yes, Uncle Lei, Brother Pan." Ye Junshu laughed, "Business is good today!" When he saw the meat on the chopping board, he knew that Uncle Lei killed two pigs today, but he usually killed one.

"TOEFL TOEFL!" Uncle Lei smiled, pointing to the meat on the chopping board, "See what you want, I'll give you a cheaper price."

"Then thank you, Uncle Lei." Ye Junshu didn't hesitate, and said directly, "Give me ten catties of white board, five catties of pork belly, two catties of lean meat, and give me a share of those tube bones." Since then, his family has been using meat oil to stir-fry, and it is used up quickly. This time, we will cook more, anyway, it will last longer.

"okay!"

There were too many people coming, and Ye Ye Junshu understood the situation. Uncle Lei's stall business has always been very good. His temper is inversely proportional to his appearance. He has always been cheerful and has no temper. I have figured it out a long time ago, and I am not afraid of Uncle Lei's fierce appearance.

When he came for the first time, the reason why so much meat was left unsold at his stall was because someone ordered meat at his stall, saying it was for serving wine, but it was only in the afternoon that someone said it was uncertain, and there were already other meat. meat.

For ordinary people, I'm afraid they would get angry on the spot. Isn't this just playing with people?But Uncle Lei still kindly said that since it was uncertain, he would sell it.

Later, Ye Junshu often came here to take care of Uncle Lei's business. After getting used to Uncle Lei's diametrically opposite appearance, he didn't find it scary anymore.

"A total of [-] Wen, wipe off the change, and I will charge you [-] Wen, thank you for your patronage." Brother Pan's voice was clear and crisp, his eyes were bright, and he stretched out his hand towards Ye Junshu with a smile.

Brother Pan is Uncle Lei's only son, and the only brother born to his husband. Uncle Lei has always held it in his hands like a baby, and he is afraid that his stepmother will treat Brother Pan badly, so he has been refusing to continue. , I struggled to grow up alone.

Today is the market day, and the business of the stalls is good. I am afraid that I will be too busy, so Brother Pan is always helping. Usually, he will come to deliver meals to his father in the morning and noon.

Brother Pan looks like Xiao Mu, with red lips and white teeth, a handsome young man. He is now 17 years old, and he will be eighteen in the first year of his life. He heard gossip that Brother Pan is about to get engaged.

Ye Junshu gave the money, and also said with a smile: "Brother Pan, you have a rosy face, but a happy event is coming?"

When Brother Pan heard this, he blushed immediately, but he didn't want to show shame in front of the younger man, so he pretended to be rough and said: "I won't invite you to a wedding wine when something good happens!"

Uncle Lei said with a smile on his face, "It's decided, brother Pan will form a contract in the spring of next year, and you must come then!" Good marriage!Excited to share with everyone.

"Congratulations! The kid will definitely have the cheek to ask for a wedding wine."

"Go, go, move away quickly after shopping, and how can you do business if you occupy the space!" Brother Pan was extremely annoyed, and simply waved away people.

Ye Junshu laughed, "Uncle Lei, I'm going back first, I'll talk about it another day."

Ye Junshu left with a big smile on his back, carrying a basket of pork on his back.

Walking here and there, time passed quickly before he knew it. He had already been shopping for a day, so Ye Junshu gathered at the meeting point.

"Candied haws! Selling candied haws!"

Ye Junshu had heard the cries of candied haws earlier, but he didn't buy them because he was afraid that the weather would be too hot and the sugar would melt.

Hearing the sound again at this moment, he followed the sound to find a hawker selling candied haws, bought two bunches, wrapped them up and put them in the back basket, and left satisfied.
