Farmer's ancient daily life

Returning to the Taoist home with the land deed, Fang Mingfeng happily announced: "We are moving!"

A Duqin stopped the needle and thread in his hand and said, "Did you buy that house?"

"Yes, look, the land deed is still in my hands!" He put the freshly baked land deed of Fang's family in front of A Duqin like a treasure, and said, "But the village is also very good. When our child is born, we will take him often. Come back and play."

"Don't talk about it, you go and show Uncle first." Since knowing that they want to buy a house in Zhenji, Uncle has often talked about it. Now that they have bought the house with great difficulty, they must show Uncle first. Just look.

"That's right, look at me, I almost forgot!" Fang Mingfeng said, then turned his head and went out to look for Uncle's trace: "Uncle! Uncle!"

Uncle was preparing dinner for the evening in the kitchen, when he heard someone yelling, he quickly pushed the door out, poked his head out, and replied, "What's wrong? What are you calling me for?"

Fang Mingfeng grabbed Uncle Ah and told him to sit down first.Then I gave Uncle a pass: "Uncle, I have already bought that house. Guess how much it cost?"

How much money did it cost?Uncle frowned and began to think. After thinking for a long time, he just couldn't get a clue, so he said: "I don't know, don't be foolish, just tell me!"

Fang Mingfeng said bluntly: "It only cost 50 taels, and the seller also said that all the things in the house and yard were given to us. Now I have gone to the government with Yaren to apply for the land deed. Look, in the future, our family will also have a lot in the town market. house!"

As he spoke, he put the title deed in front of Uncle A.Uncle picked it up and looked at it, and it took a long time before he said, "I don't know how to read."

Fang Mingfeng pointed to the large characters on a thin piece of paper, and said, "Look, Uncle, this is the land and deed. It doesn't matter if you can't read, isn't there a red handprint? With this handprint, it can prove that this is our family. title deed."

Uncle has some land deeds in his hands, but they were issued directly by the government to everyone at the beginning, so they must not be fake.Those title deeds are all the land around the home. Although Uncle can't read, he can understand what belongs to him and what doesn't.

What's wrong with not being able to read, even the few words that Fang Mingfeng knew were learned at the town fair, and he didn't know it before.

The two sat down and chatted for a while, Fang Mingfeng then said: "Now that the house has been bought, before winter comes, let's pack up the sundries at home and move to the town before the weather gets colder?"

There is a hot kang at home, and the winter is not as cold as in the past, but there are no people in the area for dozens of miles, and they are only one family, which is somewhat unsafe.But moving to the town market is different, not to mention the presence of the government, and it is more convenient to buy and sell things.

Besides, nothing is planted in the land in winter, and some fruit trees do not need to be looked after in winter.They are bored and bored staying at home at such a young age, and uncle must be the same.

Moving to a place with more people so that he can talk and chat with his peers is better than working alone at home.

"That's fine!" Even so, Uncle started to tidy up the sundries in his room.

Seeing him start packing, Fang Mingfeng said: "Uncle, you pack some things that you don't use often first, and I'll come to the rest of the heavier ones later, so don't get up to your waist again."

"Okay, but... what should we do with the livestock in our family?" Take them away, and I don't know if the small courtyard in the town market can put them down. Don't take them away. If you put the cattle and sheep here, it will almost be a dead end.

Cattle, sheep, and livestock are not like other animals. They all need to eat and drink in the morning and evening. They are probably fine for a day or two, but it will definitely not work after a long time.

Uncle's worries did not bother Fang Mingfeng. He thought for a while and replied: "The small courtyard should be enough for our family's cattle and sheep. The main reason for living in the town market in winter is because of safety. If Uncle thinks so, then let's wait Come back when the weather warms up in spring.”

Although it looks like there are a lot of cattle and sheep in the family, there are only forty or fifty if counted, including the newborn lambs.The house in Zhenji is not too big, but the yard is really not too small, and it is barely enough to build two sheds.

Some of them will be sold during the holidays. In this way, cattle, sheep and livestock can also be taken to the town market.

Uncle nodded: "It's because I didn't think carefully. It's okay to come back to live in the spring." It's true that it's better to live in the town market in winter, but it's fine to come back after this dangerous winter.

After reassuring Uncle's heart, Fang Mingfeng returned to his room.

…………

The day of moving came soon, and before the winter, Fang Mingfeng ran back and forth between the town market and the village several times, and finally moved the things at home.

At this time, Uncle A and A Duqin were resting at the town fair. They must have been exhausted for the past few days, so Fang Mingfeng came back by himself to finish the finishing work in the yard.

He took a look at each room to make sure there was nothing missing, locked the main room door and the bedroom door, and went out to check the cellar in the courtyard. After confirming that everything was correct, Fang Mingfeng locked the gate of the small courtyard.

After driving the little donkey, we speeded up and went back to the town market while it was still light.

Fang Mingfeng was on his way here, while Ah Shu and A Duqin were still packing things in the courtyard.

In fact, it’s almost packed now, but some small items are not placed as desired, so I always want to change the place.

The two of them were extremely busy, and when Fang Mingfeng came back, they hadn't finished packing their things.

On the first day of moving, Fang Mingfeng lay on the bed and couldn't sleep. There was no other reason, but because he was not used to the sudden change of environment and place.

Staring at the middle of the night, I will fall asleep.

I was so tired the day before, and I couldn't get up the day after that.But even though he didn't get up, he heard the chattering voices in the yard saying something.

The voice wasn't too loud, but it was noisy. Fang Mingfeng got up and wanted to see if there was a new neighbor coming. As soon as he went out, he saw Uncle sitting on the stone bench talking with someone.

The man looked about the same age as Uncle Uncle, but his legs and feet were inconvenient, and he was still leaning on a homemade crutch.

Although he has a disability, he looks optimistic, and he and Uncle are laughing and laughing, not knowing what they are talking about.

Uncle met an old friend and was happily reminiscing about the old days. When he tilted his head, he saw Fang Mingfeng walking towards him, so he hurriedly got up and introduced to his old friend: "Hey, Lao Hu, you don't know, this is my elder brother's. My son, my nephew, just now bought a house here."

"Speaking of which, I came here before I bought this house. I only had a glimpse at that time, and I didn't have time to talk. Now I have time."

Only then did Fang Mingfeng extract important information from the conversation: the bad man in front of him was an old friend of Uncle's when he was young, and now this is a reunion after many years.

He smiled and said, "There will be a lot of time in the future!"

Uncle said: "Isn't it!"

During the conversation, Fang Mingfeng learned from the conversation between the two that this Uncle Hu lived in other places for many years and only moved back to his hometown in recent years. My legs and feet are inconvenient and I am not good at walking so I don't go out often.

If not, Uncle Ah would probably have run into Uncle Hu a long time ago.But it's good to meet each other now, both of them can be happy for a while, right?

In the past, Uncle always felt that staying here was too boring, but now he finally saw an old friend who was full of things to say, so he waved at Ming Feng and said, "Go and do your work, I'll talk to you, Uncle Hu. Talk for a while!"

Fang Mingfeng nodded, and left this place, leaving them enough space and time to reminisce about the past.After all, we haven't seen each other for many years, so we should talk more.

This Uncle Hu's family also lives in this alley. The two of them are at the end of an alley, and the distance is neither close nor far. It is estimated that they can go to each other's house within a cup of tea.

It seems that moving to the town market is a good thing?Thinking of this, Fang Mingfeng went back to the room to find where A Duqin was.

There are only two or three houses in the courtyard that can live in. Fang Mingfeng searched and searched, but he couldn't find anyone.With question marks all over his head, he went to ask Uncle A, but learned that A Duqin had gone out early in the morning, saying that he was going to Zhang's house.

"The Zhang family?" Could it be Zhang Erlang's family?Did you go to Mrs. Zhang?

Fang Mingfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he hurriedly said a few words to Uncle and went out.

Unexpectedly, Fulang Zhang and A Duqin got to know each other a few times, and they got to know each other right away.It is estimated that Zhang Erlang still doesn't know about this.

Although he is more at ease in the Zhang family, it is still better to take a look.Make sure he's safe before you can focus on other things.

The Zhang family's small courtyard was not far from this alley, Fang Mingfeng's footsteps were fast, and he arrived outside the Zhang family's small courtyard not long after.

Fang Mingfeng knocked on the door first, then raised his voice and said, "Is anyone home?"

The two people who heard the voice hurried over to open the door. A Duqin didn't let him know because he went out to Zhang's house early in the morning. Now he was taken straight, and he was a little embarrassed: "Why are you here?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just heard from Uncle that you went out early in the morning to see if you are here. You are somewhat inconvenient now. Don't run too far. Be careful."

Originally, he just came to see if A Duqin came to look for Mr. Zhang's husband, but now seeing is believing, Fang Mingfeng felt relieved and said to him: "Okay, it's fine if you're here, you can continue talking, I have something to go, I'll go first gone."

Before leaving, he did not forget to say to Mrs. Zhang beside him: "Please Mr. Mrs. Zhang."

After all, he went out to do his own business.

After Fang Mingfeng left, Mrs. Zhang talked to A Du Qin again with a smile on her face. They met when A Du Qin got married, and they became good friends as soon as they met.

Originally, one lived in the town and the other lived in the village, so it was inconvenient to travel, but now that the other party has also moved to the town, it is more convenient for the two to move around.

"Don't talk about me, your husband didn't say when he will come back? You do the work by yourself all day long. Where did he go when he went out?"

"I don't know. It seems to be the prefecture next door. He said that he will definitely come back before the Spring Festival this year. It will be winter now, and he will definitely come back in a while..."

The two chatted again, sitting together and talking happily.

…………

At this moment, Zhang Erlang, who was being discussed, was busy with work in Fucheng, Qingya County.

This time, in addition to the essential melons and fruits, there are also preserved fruits brought over.Most of them are some general merchandise, which were exchanged from the exchange market before departure.

These things are not worth much to people outside the customs, but people inside the customs have never seen them, so they are naturally relatively fresh. Many things brought by this trip are only fresh in Kazhita, not to mention that there is no exchange market. Ya County.

Just like what he thought in his heart, the people were very interested in the sale at the beginning, and the fastest sold out were some melons and fruits that couldn't help but put it.In addition to being sold to the common people, most of them were bought by buyers from wealthy families.

I have to say that this melon and fruit is really sweet and delicious, even wealthy people in such affluent prefectures are willing to buy more and save some for food.

Now, more than half of the goods brought in have been sold, and the rest is because the price is relatively expensive, rich people don't need it, and ordinary people can't afford it, so some are kept.

Zhang Erlang thought: "It doesn't matter if you can't sell it. Don't you have to pass through several cities on the way back? When the time comes, stop there. It's the best if you can't sell it. It doesn't matter if you can't sell it."

Anyway, this business trip is a steady profit.Since he can't lose money, it doesn't matter if he earns less, and the leftovers won't depreciate in value, so he can just keep selling them when he goes out to do business next time.

But at this moment Zhang Erlang was a little worried, without him, it was because the trip went so smoothly that he was watched by people in Qingya County, and he made several stumbling blocks secretly.

Although someone helped him, he still had to be more vigilant during this trip, so as not to be caught by the other party.

He knew that he was not as smart as others, so he had to think about this business trip for a long time before he figured it out.Not only that, but he also had the help of many friends to embark on this journey.

Now it's the New Year's Eve when I go back, so in order not to worry Fulang, he decided to find a way to earn more money.

Thinking of this, he packed up his things and went to the inn, planning to ask the helpers to go out and buy some goods together, so as to sell them on the way back.

He still remembered what Fang Mingfeng said before he left, not only can running merchants bring goods to other places to sell, but they can also bring goods back from other places to sell.

In addition, he can also resell in various ways on the road. The customs and living habits of each place are different, and the demand for goods must be different.The goods in hand are resold back and forth, and when I finally go back, the best selling things at home and the local area are left. This will definitely succeed!

Immediately doing what he said, Zhang Erlang immediately started to get ready to check which local specialties are the best sellers.

Now that he is being targeted, he must leave as soon as possible.He has already earned a lot of money here, so there is no need to continue to compete with local merchants. After all, he will still come here to run a business in the future. If he offends everyone, he will cause trouble for himself.

Time passed quickly, and it was time to go back in a blink of an eye. It was already winter, and Zhang Erlang watched every household start preparing new year's goods, and he couldn't wait to go home.

Although it is the neighboring prefecture, it doesn't sound too far away, but if you go back in time, you have to stop a lot on the way, so naturally you can't be too tedious.He is still waiting to go home for the New Year's Eve!
