Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

After Xia Zixuan parted ways with Shopkeeper Liu, she asked her way to a place where livestock were sold. The moment she walked in, the smell almost drove her away, but she endured it and walked in. She saw both adult cows and calves.

At this time, a steward came over and asked, "What kind of cow do you want to buy, young lady? Do you like any of them? The cows we have here are all strong young cows."

Xia Zixuan didn't believe him! Because she saw a sick old cow over there. You really can't listen to the boss when buying things, otherwise he will fool you and make you lose your way.

She looked at a half-grown cow that looked like it was still underage and asked, "How much do you want to sell this cow, steward?"

Then he added, "I won't bargain with you. How about you give me a bullock cart frame and find someone to teach me how to drive a bullock cart?"

She was only thinking about buying a ox cart, but forgot that she didn't know how to drive a ox cart.

When the steward heard her say that, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go and harness the ox cart for you, and then find someone to teach you."

Xia Zixuan waited for the manager to harness the ox cart for her, and then found someone to teach her. In just one stick of incense, she learned how to drive the ox cart. The young man was surprised and said, "Girl, you are amazing. It took me two days to learn how to drive an ox cart!"

Xia Zixuan didn't show it on her face when she heard that, but what she was thinking was, if I only study for two days, I might as well just walk home by myself!

Xia Zixuan didn't say anything. "Brother, can I leave the ox cart here for a while? I'm going to buy some things and will be back soon."

"Okay, go ahead! I'll tie the ox cart here for you so no one will steal it." The young man led the ox cart to the pillar at the entrance of the cattle market.

Xia Zixuan watched him tie up the ox cart and turn around to walk towards the vegetable market. Farmers came here to sell their own vegetables or chickens. She saw an old woman with two chickens in front of her.

He squatted down and asked, "Old lady, how much do you sell these two chickens for?"

When the old woman heard someone coming to buy chickens, she quickly said, "Twenty-five cents a chicken, how many do you want, young lady?"

"Okay, I'll take both. Here's fifty cents."

After handing the money to the old woman, Xia Zixuan put the two chickens into her backpack, then stood up and walked forward. Seeing that there were no geese or ducks for sale, she bought a few meat and vegetable buns and went back.

She arrived at the ox cart place, said something to the owner, and then drove her ox cart home. It turned out that having a cart was comfortable no matter where you were. Although it was bumpy, you didn't have to walk!

While driving a bullock cart on the road, I saw smoke rising from the distance; every household was preparing lunch. As I got closer, I saw a big yellow dog lying under the shade of a tree, panting with its tongue hanging out, feeling very hot.

Xia Zixuan returned home, unloaded the ox cart, led the ox to the backyard and tied it up, then pulled some sweet potato vines from the space for it to eat, and then filled it with some spiritual spring water.

After she returned to the front yard, she no longer wanted to cook as the big pot was too hot. She just took out the buns she bought and a glass of milk and had lunch.

Xia Zixuan woke up from a nap, washed her face with a basin of cool well water, and went to the village. When she passed by Aunt Wang's house, she saw that there was no one in the yard. She should still be resting, after all, she had been tiring from the autumn harvest for so many days.

When I arrived at the village chief's house, I saw Wu cleaning the yard.

"Aunt, is the village chief grandpa at home?"

"It's girl Xuan! Your village chief is at home! Come in quickly!"

As he spoke, he saw the village chief coming out of the house, "Xuan girl, what's the matter with you coming here at this time?"

“Grandpa Village Chief, I came to you to tell you that I will start building a house tomorrow, and I want you to help find some people in the village.

We need people who can work efficiently, not those who are sloppy and cunning. I have also found a Master Zhou in town. He pays 20 cents a day, and provides lunch."

"Okay, the busy farming season has just passed and no one has gone out to work yet. I'll go find someone for you and have them come to your place tomorrow."

The village chief said this and walked out to look for someone in the village.

Xia Zixuan watched the village chief go out to find someone. She looked at Wu and said, "Aunt, do you have time? I want you and Aunt Wang to cook for the workers. Ten cents a day."

Wu looked at Feng and saw Feng nodded in agreement. She said, "Okay, Xuan girl. I'll go over to your place tomorrow."

"it is good."

Afterwards, Xia Zixuan said hello to Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Feng and left. This time, when she passed by Aunt Wang's house, she heard voices. As soon as she reached the door, she was seen by Xiaobao.

He called her and ran towards her, "Aunt Xiaoxuan, Aunt Xiaoxuan."

Xia Zixuan rushed over and said, "Hey, Xiaobao, run slower, don't fall down."

Wang followed Xiaobao with a smile on her face and said to her, "Where have you been, little girl Xuan? Come to my house and sit for a while."

She walked over holding Xiaobao's hand and said, "Auntie, I went to the village chief's house. I just passed by your house and saw that there was no one in the yard, so I didn't call you. By the way, I will start building the house tomorrow.

If Uncle and Brother Dashan are free, they can go there tomorrow. It will cost 20 cents a day. I also want to ask Aunt, Sister-in-law and Aunt Wu to go and make lunch for the workers. "

"We don't know if three people cooking for a hundred people a day is enough. Forget it. If it's not enough, we can find more when the time comes!"

He then said, "I will pay you ten cents a day. Do you have time, aunt and sister-in-law?"
