Bad Boy Farming

After all the dried Erniuxiang was sold, although the total amount was less than two hundred copper coins, Erniu was very happy. Seeing his bulging arms, he was so excited that he couldn't walk anymore, so the two of them didn't notice. Children are any different.

As soon as the two big ones stepped into the wooden shop, Xiao Mengmeng hooked her head and tried her best to get inside.Er Niu patted Mengmeng's little butt, "Be honest."

Immediately a young man came out, saw Erniu and the others and asked, "Guest officer, what do you want?"

Seeing that Mengmeng is not honest, Er Niu was a little puzzled, this kid behaved like a cat all the way, what's going on now?However, he has business to do, "No need, we're here to sell things."

"Selling things?" The little guy didn't understand. Selling things in a carpentry shop?Seeing that Er Niu seems to be younger than himself, "Are you a carpenter?" I don't believe that there are such young carpenters in the world.

"No." Er Niu shook his head and said to Guangjiao, "Give me a brush."

They brought the brush with them before they came, and Er Niu held Mengmeng in his arms, and the brush was placed at the wide angle.Er Niu thought that no matter whether the dried tofu was sold well or not, he would sell the brushes. After selling the brushes, the people in Zhangjia Village could earn more money.

The little boy took the thing that the other party put into his hand, and he heard, "Give the brush to your shopkeeper, and your shopkeeper will know it at a glance." The boy didn't believe it, but he couldn't drive people out, so he just went Bata ran inside.

Only then did Er Niu care to ask, "Mengmeng, what are you looking at?" Seeing his big eyes looking this way and that way, he said with a smile, "There's nothing you can play with here."

Mengmeng looked at Erniu when she heard the voice, and seeing Erniu said, "Let's go buy maltose later, don't worry."

The child didn't say a word, just stared straight at Er Niu and didn't know what he was thinking. Er Niu had never raised a child, so naturally he couldn't be gentle and soft-spoken. Seeing this, he said richly, "Then what do you like? Tell me, I'll buy it for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old voice suddenly sounded, "Xiaosheng, this... is this your thing?"

"Yes." As soon as Er Niu said that, he saw the old man who suddenly appeared and walked up to him in three or two steps. The hand holding the flat brush tremblingly wanted to stretch it out. He stood in front of Mengmeng all of a sudden, and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

"I...I..." Shopkeeper Qi saw his defensive face, took a deep breath, and said, "I, this, no, the brush..."

"I'm here to sell brushes. I also made this brush. What do you want to say, shopkeeper?" Seeing that he was incoherent, Er Niu came out holding Mengmeng and asked.

Shopkeeper Qi was originally the son of the Qi family. Because of his lack of ability, he offered to come to Maoling County to be a carpenter when he first graduated from the teacher.Although this is a small county, because there is a big pier below, sometimes the county can be as lively as the northern state capital.

Shopkeeper Qi stayed in Maoling County honestly for decades, and made no major mistakes during this period, but he has not been able to expand the woodware business in these years.Seeing that the position was about to be given up to young people, shopkeeper Qi was grateful to the second young master for using himself as an "incompetent person" when he took over the woodware shop, and always wanted to do something for the master.As he got older, this desire became more urgent.

When he first saw the flat brush handed over by the boy, shopkeeper Qi felt a "boom" in his head, causing his eyes to stare.After a while, shopkeeper Qi calmed down, "Xiangsheng, how do you sell your brushes?"

Er Niu heard from Mrs. Zhang Li that the Qijia Wooden Ware Shop has a strong background, and Er Niu still hoped to do business with the Wooden Ware Shop in the future, so he didn't open his mouth, so he asked Guang Jiao to take out the remaining two brushes and speak first. , "I heard that the woodware in your carpentry shop has to be painted and colored. Do you think these three brushes can be used?"

"Yes! Yes!" Shopkeeper Qi nodded fiercely, and opened his mouth and said, "You don't know, the younger generation, that the woodware in our Qi family is all the best, and it's troublesome when it comes to painting..."

Er Niu is still waiting to go home.He didn't expect that Mengmeng would clamor to follow, so he didn't prepare food for the children. They couldn't afford the food in the restaurant, and they were afraid that Mengmeng would not be able to digest them.So he interrupted him, "Shopkeeper, how much do you say?"

"Gah?" The shopkeeper paused, his eyes widened in disbelief, "You want me to tell you?"

Er Niu said, "That's right."

Shopkeeper Qi woke up completely, "You are so interesting, you can sell things yourself and let me negotiate the price." If he opens his mouth, how can he bargain later.

Er Niu saw that Xiao Mengmeng's clothes were wet with sweat, and thought that Mrs. Zhang and Li should be waiting for them by the city gate. Seeing the rising sun, Er Niu gritted his teeth, "Nine hundred Wen!"

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Qi opened his mouth and answered.

Guangjiao tilted his body, and saw that shopkeeper Qi was smiling, and suddenly felt that Brother Erniu had said less.Nearly a tael of silver!Wide Angle's heart trembled when he thought about it, there was only so much left in his family after a year... But when he saw Mengmeng lying on Er Niu's shoulders, he completely lost the joy he had before, and closed his eyes, "No way! "

"Why?" Er Niu asked suspiciously.

Guangjiao has been hanging out with Erniu every day recently, listening to Erniu nagging about how to make money from time to time, and seeing how powerful Erniu brother is after he opened his eyes, he said nonsense, "You forgot to give the three brushes in order to get it right. Mengmeng cooks, I don’t know when it will be done next time, if it can’t be done, what are you going to buy winter clothes for your son.”

"Son?" Shopkeeper Qi looked at the child in his arms in surprise, "Is this your son?" Just teasing him.

Guangjiao opened his mouth and told the shopkeeper Qi what he said to the shopkeeper in the restaurant, and the shopkeeper heard it, "Xiaosheng, sell us all the brushes you make in the future, and I will give you four hundred coins for each brush, how about it?"

Er Niu's heart moved slightly, and he glanced at the wide angle from the corner of his eye, this kid has learned to be smart.It was very embarrassing to say, "It's not good."

"What's wrong?" Shopkeeper Qi didn't think he thought he had too little money.

"You don't know, the brush is made of pig hair." Er Niu pretended to be embarrassed and said.

"Pig hair?" Shopkeeper Qi was startled again, the stinky thing said, "This, is this pig hair?" Er Niu nodded, "How is it possible?"

Er Niu nodded again, "However, shopkeeper, you can use it at ease, in order to clean the pig hair, we stayed up for several nights."

Shopkeeper Qi listened to the pig hair, and used it to paint exquisite objects... If rich merchants from all over the world knew about it, would people still come to buy things from Qijia Woodenware Shop in the future?

Seeing the hesitation on his face, Er Niu was afraid of making a mistake, and hurriedly said, "Oh, if I didn't have a child to raise, I wouldn't be able to figure out the brush."

When Er Niu reminded him, the usefulness of the brush instantly overshadowed his worries, and he said, "It's not easy for you, the younger generation. If you make another brush in the future, I will give you four hundred coins for each."

Seeing this, Er Niu believed what Zhang Li said. This storekeeper Qi is a good person. For the convenience of future operations, Er Niu said, "Actually, the brush is very simple. It is to punch holes on the wooden board. One side is empty and the other side is big. Then pull the pig hair in like you would a shoe sole, and the brush will be fine."

Er Niu finished speaking in a few words, not to mention the shopkeeper Qi, even the boy who didn't look down on the brush before had his eyes straightened, and said without thinking, "Why did you tell me about your craftsmanship?"

Only then did Er Niu realize that the craftsmanship of the ancient people was very exquisite, so it was passed on from male to female, and from son to daughter-in-law.Immediately, he also understood why shopkeeper Qi suddenly lost his voice, and said with a smile, "What kind of craftsmanship is this, shopkeeper, if you want to do it yourself, you can do it yourself later."

"This is impossible!" Shopkeeper Qi waved his hands repeatedly.The status of the merchant is low, and Qijia Wooden Warehouse, an outsider, is so respected by the locals. In addition to being honest and trustworthy, the Qijia Woodenware Store is also known for its kindness.

Er Niu said, "If you are embarrassed, just give me a few more copper coins."

When shopkeeper Qi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and asked the boy to go to the accountant to pay another five hundred cash.

Er Niu was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and looked at Mengmeng amusedly, "Son, dad will buy you meat and bones."

"You are so kind to this child." The good man appreciates the good man. Seeing that the child is hot and sweating, shopkeeper Qi said, "If you are not in a hurry to leave, let the child come down and eat a melon." Before Er Niu opened his mouth, he waved and said no The little apprentice in the distance went to bring melons that were frozen in the well water.

Er Niu won't leave until the money is in hand, so he sits down with Guang Jiao who has been frightened by the windfall, and then wipes Mengmeng's sweat with his sleeve. Young people are so nice!

Then he said, "It's really a blessing for this kid to meet you."

Er Niu said, "Mengmeng suffers with me." Seeing the child staring at the exquisite wooden horse not far away, it suddenly occurred to the kidnapper that Mengmeng was a child of a rich family, "I don't know when his family will find him." Come."

"I heard that the county lord has already reported to the higher authorities, so it should be soon." Shopkeeper Qi comforted the child when he saw that the child was in low spirits.

Er Niu took the muskmelon handed to them by the little apprentice, thanked him and said, "It's difficult! Qingzhou is so far away, alas."

Shopkeeper Qi didn't think much about it, but seeing Er Niu sighing, he couldn't bear to continue talking, so he said, "Mengmeng, eating melon is delicious."

Mengmeng turned her head and buried herself in Er Niu's arms, feeling a little sad, it was obviously Qi's woodware shop, why didn't Mengmeng know any of the people there.

Seeing this, Er Niu said sorry to the shopkeeper, picked up Mengmeng, bit off a big mouthful of cantaloupe and stuffed it into his hand, "Let's eat with Daddy, we'll go buy meat and bones after eating."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy came with the money.Seeing that there were too many copper coins, the shopkeeper was afraid that Er Niu would not be able to handle them, so he gave Er Niu a tael of silver, seven hundred copper coins.Er Niu was stunned, one tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand one to one thousand two hundred copper plates, this... I'm really embarrassed. "Shopkeeper, I heard that there are many skilled craftsmen in your carpentry shop?"

Shopkeeper Qi said, "Of course!"

"I heard that bristles and ponytails can be used to make teeth-cleaning brushes." Before they could speak, they gestured with each other. They looked so long, and then left with Mengmeng on their shoulders.

Shopkeeper Qi stomped his feet at Er Niu's back, what a pity this young man is!

"Uncle, what are you doing?" The visitor hurriedly asked seeing his distressed expression.

"Hey, why are you here?" Shopkeeper Qi saw his nephew who was far away in Qingzhou coming suddenly, and he didn't care about explaining, so he hurriedly dragged him in to sit down and have a rest.

The visitor couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly explained the current situation of the second young master. The shopkeeper Qi sat down on the chair in fright, and heard, "After the young master disappeared suddenly, the second young master thought it was our enemy who did it. It was only later that we heard that several children had been lost, so we thought of the kidnapper. The second young master asked me to come out and look for the young young master, and at the same time let the business houses in various places pay attention..."

"Wait a minute!" Shopkeeper Qi hurriedly interrupted, "You said the young master was kidnapped by a kidnapper?"
