Farmer one or two things

Chapter 19 Buying a Cow

After visiting a few more restaurants, Song Tiancai has a general idea of ​​what the restaurants are doing.This place is no different from modern times. Everything can be mass-produced, and the ingredients in the duck blood vermicelli soup just mentioned may not be available.Who can kill so many ducks every day, even if he opens a tea stall, he can't afford it. After calculating the cost, he can't make money.

Therefore, Song Tiancai still put the idea of ​​ingredients on Shopkeeper Du's restaurant.Song Tiancai remembers that shopkeeper Du's signature dish is old duck stewed with sour bamboo shoots in winter, and he usually makes sauce duck and salted duck.In this way, the number of ducks used in the restaurant every day ranges from [-] to [-] ducks to as many as [-] to [-] ducks.As for duck intestines, duck liver and duck blood, these offal do not appear in the dish.Those who can afford to eat at Shopkeeper Du will definitely not eat duck offal.

Song Tiancai felt that he would spend a small amount of money to negotiate with shopkeeper Du to take care of the duck offal and duck oil.Going to the restaurant every day to get it, I believe that shopkeeper Du is willing to give up this little thing. Besides, he doesn't take it for nothing. He can give one copper coin for the duck offal in two or three duck stomachs, and ten copper coins for a catty of duck fat.In this way, there will be no gossip if shopkeeper Du gives the back kitchen some extra money and waste utilization.Businessman, hello, me, hello, everyone.

Thinking about the plan for fans to buy duck offal, Song Dashan and Chen Guizhi brought a cow over happily without blinking an eye.Song Tiancai saw that the cow still had a big belly, and felt embarrassed.He wants the cow to be used every day after the tea stall opens. The big-bellied cow can't do the work now, and he has to take care of it meticulously. Isn't it a waste of help?Song Tiancai felt that he had put the cart before the horse when he bought cattle like this.

But seeing the happy faces of Song Dashan and Chen Guizhi, Song Tiancai swallowed his words again.He hugged Song Xiaobao and went forward, before Song Tiancai could speak, Chen Guizhi smiled toothlessly and said to Song Tiancai: "Tiancai, we made a profit today. This cow with a calf was only sold for ten taels of silver, and the stall owner is a lucky man." Yes, the son has earned a lot of money, and the daughter-in-law is now expecting the old couple to live in Quanzhou. This is why she hastily sold the cow with the calf, which is a bargain. The calf was born for three or four taels of silver. Today is really the right time.”

Song Tiancai thought it was a coincidence, and the vigilance of the nouveau riche came out: "Mother, do you know this stall owner? Such a good thing can't be spread to our house by such a coincidence, there will be no problem."

Song Dashan answered from the side: "It's okay, I know the brother who sells cattle, he is from Yangjiatun. He is a very kind person. He was familiar with me in the early years, and he didn't want to earn money for the dental shop, so he just got a little It’s cheaper for our family by two taels of silver. The general cow is ten taels of silver, and it’s only two taels more for bringing cubs. You have to take a small tael in the middle of the dental store, and his family is not too bad. We have just gone to the Yamen. It's fine, no big problem."

When Song Dashan said this, Song Tiancai felt a little relieved.It was also because he was too defensive, Song Dashan and Chen Guizhi were such old people anyway, they would not be reckless in many things.Otherwise, they would not be able to earn the Song family's land.

Because of taking advantage of this, Chen Guizhi's mood has always been bright and sunny.I was also willing to face Song Dashan once, and bought him a cigarette pouch.Song Tiancai bought tea in the town, and went to the food store to ask about various kinds of food, mainly flour and vegetable oil.The wheat and rapeseeds at home have just been planted, and these are indispensable for opening a tea stand.I can only spend money to buy it. After all, the family used to keep enough food for themselves, but it is not enough to do business.

A piece of noodles costs three Wen a catty, and vegetable oil costs six Wen a catty. A piece of noodles is not as thin and white as Erdao noodles, but it is cheaper than Erdao noodles.It is also a relatively good flour for farmers.Song Tiancai thought of sweet potatoes again, and asked about it. The food store sold it for one penny and three catties.Chen Guizhi saw that Song Tiancai was about to buy sweet potatoes, so he quickly stopped him from buying them.In the end, I only bought [-] catties of oil and [-] catties of noodles.

I went to the grocery store to buy several kinds of tea, and after some seasonings, I put it away with a lot of satisfaction.Song Xiaobao followed suit, and harvested some snacks and toys, which made Chen Guizhi's heart ache.While waiting to put the things on Song Niutou's ox cart, Song Dashan and Chen Guizhi realized that they were taking advantage of it and mistakenly assigned the expected task of buying this ox.The two looked at each other in dismay, only to realize that the money saved for buying cattle was nothing but the money for riding a bullock cart every day.

Finally, Song Dashan and Song Tiancai led the cattle and followed Song Niutou back to Songjia Village.As soon as he got home, Song Tiancai felt that his legs were so sore that he couldn't lift it up, lamenting his weak body, Song Tiancai became more and more determined to start strengthening his body.

The Song family has a cowshed, and Song Dashan settled the cows, and specially cut the grass and came back to feed the cows.Chen Guizhi carried some rice to Song Dahai's house, told Wan Shi about Song Tianjin's recent situation, and returned with ten catties of rice in exchange for two sacks of sweet potatoes.Song Dahai's family only has six acres of land, and another one and a half acres is sandy land. Every year, these sandy lands are either sweet potatoes or beans and peanuts.Just after the autumn harvest, Song Dahai has more sweet potatoes.

Although he didn't know why Song Tiancai wanted the sweet potatoes, Chen Guizhi went to exchange them for some.Chen Guizhi couldn't carry the two full bags, and it was Song Dahai who brought them over.Because he bought meat and a duck in the town, Chen Guizhi stayed at Song Dahai's house for dinner.

The duck was bought by Song Tiancai, and he is raising it first. He plans to wait for the fans to make duck blood vermicelli and see how it tastes.And when the sweet potatoes were brought back, Song Tiancai was about to prepare tools for fans.It will take some time before this is really done, and Song Tiancai is not going to do it right away.

He planned to open the tea stall tomorrow, it was important to make money first.After all, soup and hot food are better sold in winter.The Wan family was also called by Chen Guizhi. During the past few days, she watched Song Dashan's family busy, the tea stall was built, and the cattle were bought. The money coming in and out was quite considerable.While envious in my heart, I feel more and more that Song Tiancai's ability to earn so much money while studying is really good.

Although Song Tianjin has been introduced by Song Dashan's family to become a buddy, he can't compare to Song Tiancai, who is a scholar and capable.Although Song Tianjin has a biological sister, as the saying goes, a married daughter is the one who gets thrown out. Although Song Taoer is very good, she has her husband's family after all.Wan's mouth looked big, but he knew in his heart that he was always a grandfather. Song Dashan and her family couldn't write two Song characters. As long as she took the initiative to get closer, it would never be bad in the future.

Therefore, when Chen Guizhi went to her house to exchange sweet potatoes with millet, she was rare and generous and gave him dozens of catties more.When Chen Guizhi called her to come to eat, she didn't refuse. She even took out two catties of melon seeds left at home and brought a pumpkin with her.In the past, she would never have acted so generously.

The ducks were to be raised, so Chen Guizhi cooked a braised pork and stir-fried fatty intestines. Thinking about it, let Song Dashan fish out a raised crucian carp from a small ditch next to the vegetable garden at home and make a crucian carp soup. In the end, I fried a few more vegetarian dishes, put six dishes and one soup on the table, and steamed white rice.

Both Song Dahai and Song Dashan could drink a little, and Song Tiancai was in good health this time, so there was no reason to sit with Chen Guizhi and the others.His alcohol capacity is actually good, but he is not greedy for alcohol.This is because he drank too much in his previous life, no matter how good the wine is, he is not attractive.After all, if he hadn't been so drunk at the birthday party, he wouldn't have had an accident out of nowhere.

Song Tiancai, who had already died once, was not sensitive to alcohol, but fortunately, he didn't drink much in his previous life.Song Dahai and Song Dashan didn't let him have a drink with him, and even Song Dahai felt that he couldn't let go of eating and drinking with a scholar nephew.

It can be seen that Song Tiancai ate, and he ate quickly. Then, he greeted with a smile and left the table.Asking Song Dashan to drink with Song Dahai, the two brothers had a lot to say, recalling bitterness and sweetness for a while, and talking about their parents back then, sighing for a long time.

Because of the presence of the Wan family, Chen Guizhi's table here is similar to the previous ones.In fact, it is not so particular about the separation of men and women in farmers' households, and most of them eat together.But who told Song Tiancai to study well before, his mind is still a bit old-fashioned.He once hinted to Chen Guizhi that men and women have different seats at the age of seven, so forget it, Chen Guizhi is his mother, but Feng Jinhua, the sister-in-law, eats at the same table with them, which is a bit out of character.

So, Chen Guizhi ate men and women separately from then on.She didn't think it was troublesome, but felt that this was a kind of decent custom, and it was the difference between her family and other farmers.In particular, there are a few families with good family backgrounds, and they all followed the Song family's example, and began to divide the tables between men and women, and the Song family was divided in this way.

In Song Tiancai's memory, the reason why Yuanshen proposed to eat at the same table was because he hated Feng Jinhua's ugly eating at the table, and he also liked to make irresponsible remarks, which made Chen Guizhi ugly.But because of Song Dashan, Chen Guizhi couldn't blame him more.Let Song Tiancai feel worthless for his mother, so he said that men and women have different seats at seven years old.It has to be said that scholars still have the most bad water in their stomachs, and they sneak up on ghosts.

And after that, as the original body expected, without Song Dashan, Chen Guizhi would scold Feng Jinhua if she said anything.He also stipulated the food for everyone at his table, except for the children, is there too much.It made Feng Jinhua calm down a lot, and stopped picking and choosing.

Now the Song family eats at separate tables when there are guests, and eats at the same table at other times.

When Song Tiancai went in, Song Xiaobao somehow had tears in his eyes.The small mouth was still pouted, it looked like he had lost his temper just now.Chen Guizhi coaxed him, and Wan Shi was also coaxing him with rice.Song Xiaobao is not like other children, he doesn't like to cry, he is very quiet.Seeing him crying, Song Tiancai felt distressed, and hurriedly hugged Song Xiaobao from Chen Guizhi's hand and said, "What's wrong?"

Embarrassment flashed across Wan's face, and Chen Guizhi smoothed things over and said, "It's okay, children don't cry. Tiancai, it's just right after you've eaten. Help the mother take Xiaobao and go to the house to play for a while. Wait until the evening Xiaobao is hungry, I will cook him some goat milk."

Song Tiancai nodded, hugged Song Xiaobao and left.

Only then did Wan said: "Sisters and sisters, I just have good intentions. I thought it would be difficult for Tiancai to take care of the child alone, so I wanted to tell Timcai about my niece from my natal family. I didn't expect Xiaobao to react so strongly, hey, Don't tell me that Tiancai won't marry his mother-in-law from now on, you dote on Xiaobao too much."

The Wan family saw that the Song family could get better and better, and Song Tiancai was capable. He wanted to bring the two families closer, so he thought of being a matchmaker.But just now, when she asked Xiaobao if she wanted to be a mother, she made Xiaobao cry, leaving Wan's speechless.

Chen Guizhi also wanted Song Tiancai to marry another wife in his heart, but first, Song Xiaobao was still young, and if the remarried woman treated Song Xiaobao badly, her grandson would not suffer a big loss.Second, Chen Guizhi felt that Song Tiancai didn't talk about it, but he still cared about Liu Cailian's affairs very much. He didn't want to talk about marriage in the past few years.After all, Chen Guizhi herself didn't want to mention such a slap in the face, let alone her proud son.

Anyway, Song Tiancai had a son, and she had a grandson in her arms, so she wanted to slowly choose a good-hearted, filial, and most importantly, a daughter-in-law for Song Tian.Therefore, she really never thought about marrying Song Tiancai now.The matter of the Liu family has not been finished yet, Chen Guizhi usually does not mention Song Xiaobao's mother in front of Song Xiaobao.

Song Xiaobao is young, can't remember anything, and has no impression of his mother, but he must have a feeling in his heart.So, when asked by Wan Shi, she cried in fright.This was something Wan didn't expect, and felt a little embarrassed.

Chen Guizhi felt sorry for Xiaobao, and also complained about Wan's reckless actions, but he couldn't say anything.He just said: "Tiancai told me a long time ago that Xiaobao is still young, and he doesn't want to marry again in the past few years. After all, there are too few good stepmothers in this world. Let's talk about it when Xiaobao is older. I said, sister-in-law, Tim Jindu is eighteen, and Tiancai is the father of the child at this time. Why don't you tell him a daughter-in-law, you don't want to hold a grandson."

When Wan heard Chen Guizhi talking about this, he felt aggrieved. He pulled Chen Guizhi and said, "It's not that old fortune-teller who received a thousand dollars talking nonsense. My Tianjin is such a good child. He is capable and filial. It's all my fault." , who is not good to find, I found my short-lived niece. Tim Jin, a good young man, became the second marriage head. I spent so much money and said so many good things on Aunt Zhang. Two days ago, I finally entrusted her to give Tim Jin said there was a girl in your village, but her parents didn’t like it. They said they were afraid that we would kill their daughter, and I was so angry that I didn’t sleep well for the past two days.”

The Wan family is not willing to lower the standard for marrying a wife for Song Tianjin, but the parents of a good girl are not willing to marry their daughter to a man who does not want a wife.Therefore, a vicious circle was formed. The Wan family fell in love with him, but he didn't like Song Tianjin. He was willing to marry Song Tianjin's girl.
