There is a farmhouse on Mo

After buying the cow, Zheng Xiaohu bid farewell to the two of them. Shao Yitang stared at each other's back, and said bitterly in his heart, you know yourself well.

A yellow ox costs 12 taels of silver. It’s really not cheap, just like buying a car in modern times. Those who can afford cattle in the countryside must be rich people. In the village, cattle are a rare commodity!

Therefore, when Xu An looked at his newly bought scalper, it was like looking at a baby, not to mention how happy he was, and kept chanting

"Brother Shao, we have cattle, we have cattle..."

"Yes, yes, we have a cow!" Isn't it a cow? See how happy this little guy is!Shao Yitang stared at Xu An, feeling better from the depression just now.

Looking at the sky, it was noon, and Shao Yitang planned to take Xu An to have a good meal. It was hard for him to come to the town, and he couldn't do it without a good stroll.

"Come on, An'an, let's go to the restaurant for dinner."

"No need for brother Shao, I brought something..." Xu An blinked, his husband's problem of being extravagant could not be changed. "How expensive it is to go to a restaurant!"

"When did you bring it, why don't I know?"

Shao Yitang was a little helpless, his family An An was good at everything, but he was too stingy, thinking that on the second day of their marriage, when his family An An went to the kitchen to give him a hearty meal, when he saw the rice and fine noodles in the kitchen, he gave birth to him for a day He was angry and said that he would not live a life.

Daughter-in-law, it's not that your husband and I don't know how to live, but it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal!Besides, it's not that our family can't afford rice and fine noodles!

"Well, I made it in the morning before you got up..." Xu An looked around, leaned in front of Shao Yitang and lowered his voice, "I made flatbread, white flour!"

Shao Yitang was amused by Xu An's vigilant look like a thief. "I'll keep the cake. It's rare for you to come back to town, so you have to eat something good!"

"Then... let's eat buns!" Xu An hesitated.

"no……"

"The steamed stuffed bun is so delicious, it's white flour and meat..."

"Forget it, let's go eat wontons."

Shao Yitang sighed, An An's temperament will not change for a while, since he doesn't go to restaurants, it's okay to eat wontons, I think the wontons he ate last time tasted pretty good!

Xu An was still a little reluctant, but in the end he was dragged by Shao Yitang. He walked all the way to the wonton stall with his little mouth pouting. laugh it out!

Zheng Xiaohu quietly followed the two of them all the way to the wonton stand. Seeing Shao Yitang buying wontons again and coaxing Xu An in a soft voice, the hostility in his heart decreased a lot. It seems that Shao's surname is not bad to Xiao An, but even if he is not bad, That is also a despicable and shameless outsider who robbed his wife!

He has already saved the dowry, if there is no such surname Shao, he will be the one with Xiao An.

Hey, seeing the happy smiles of the two at the wonton booth, Zheng Xiaohu sighed, turned and left.

The wonton skins at the wonton stall are thin and the meat is fragrant. A large bowl costs ten Wen, which is very affordable. Two people each eat a large bowl, and it costs [-] Wen.

Beautifully wiped off the oil stains from the corners of his mouth. Although Xu An still felt sorry for Yinzi, he was still very happy. Since meeting Shao Yitang, his life has changed drastically.

Every day, he doesn't have to get up very early to work, and he can sleep until he wakes up naturally. Brother Shao loves him very much, and he is never willing to speak loudly to him. It feels like a treasure held in his palm.

Even the rice is cooked by Brother Shao. Although he knows that Brother Shao dislikes the food he cooks, but his daily life is like... like a young master in a drama, stretching out his hands for clothes and opening his mouth for food. , Really, brother Shao will make him lazy!

But what a day it is!

The two ate small wontons at the wonton stand, and walked around the street for a while, but there was nothing to do. The ancient times were not as prosperous as the modern ones, and the things they sold were just the same. There was no entertainment, and the town was not big. , back and forth and soon finished reading.

Although there was nothing to do, the two of them looked around and touched the west. They were still very happy and didn't feel tired. When the time was almost up, the two returned to the boss who sold the cattle to take the cattle, and then went to the place where the donkey cart was kept. place, and returned to the village with a lot of things.

The scalper is a rarity in the village, and the two returned to the village in a donkey cart and a scalper, which naturally aroused the crowds of villagers to watch and marvel.

"Yeah, this is a cow. Has the surname Shao bought a cow?"

"It takes a lot of money to buy a cow, and this Shao man really hides it deeply..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, he still has a donkey..."

At first, everyone thought that Shao Yitang should be poor now, but he didn't expect that he bought a cow. This is a big fortune, and it will be planted in the spring soon. If there is a cow at home, it will be a lot easier.

Thinking of this, everyone made up their minds that they must make good friends with this surnamed Shao. It would be perfect if Chun Zhong could borrow cattle from his house for a few days.

But no matter what the villagers thought, Shao Yitang and Xu An started non-stop preparations for land reclamation and sugar production the second day they returned home.

The money in the family is really inexhaustible. After getting married, Father Xu spent 15 taels for medicine, 12 taels for cows, and [-] taels for buying sugar tools, cloth for filtering, cotton, and a lot of other things. two.

It only took a few days to come and go, and more than 30 taels of silver went out. Not to mention Xu An, Shao Yitang also felt distressed. At the beginning, there were more than 100 taels of silver left when selling treasures, and only more than 30 taels were left. Money is not small in the village, but in Shao Yitang's view, it is indispensable. He doesn't eat mixed noodles and wild vegetables, and his family doesn't have land yet, so it costs a lot to eat fine grains!

Xu An felt even more distressed than Shao Yitang. During this period of time, spending money was like running water. The money spent in these few days was more than his previous life. He felt like a dream. Knowing that sugar making can make money, he Every day, he worked hard to help Shao Yitang.

The two spent a day making a simple filter, which was a huge iron bucket with a large top and a small bottom.

Shao Yitang recalled the modern water purification filter, put the cotton in the bottom of the barrel first, then put a layer of gauze, then clean the charcoal and put it in, cover it with a layer of gauze, and then compact it carefully, then put the fine sand into the compacted , Cover with a gauze, and finally, put the small fast pebbles.

In addition to iron buckets, gauze, cotton and charcoal need to be bought with money, and sand and pebbles are all picked up from the river.

The filter made in this way is really simple, but Shao Yitang has experimented with sewage, and the effect is still there. He is still very satisfied when he sees that the dark sewage just now is obviously much cleaner.

Xu An thought it was amazing, he couldn't imagine how the water, which was obviously so dirty, could be so much cleaner after getting it from this, um, some kind of filter. Brother Shao is really smart, even smarter than the scholar masters in the town !
