Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger
Chapter 37: The Horse Fright
"What's the matter, girl?"
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Liu, how about we discuss a cooperation?"
Xu Yuan thought about the time when he first proposed building a kang, everyone looked confused.
It can be seen that there was no kang in this era, which is just right. It doesn't matter how the rich came, they just took the lead.
In Xuyuan's memory, the winter here is very difficult to endure. After all, the poor people here don't have much money to buy cotton. They have to rely on firewood to get through the winter, and they have to be very frugal.
The people who have the hardest time in winter are the elderly and children. It is a great blessing that we now have the ability to improve the conditions of the poor people here and allow them to have a warm winter.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Liu, after we have cleared the wasteland and planted the land, the weather will be getting colder. Then we can go to the county town to set up a fire pit business, and you can build it."
"Ah, you want to do business with us? How can you be so qualified?" Uncle Liu looked surprised.
"Hey, Uncle Liu, I believe in your skills. You two are working together very well. When the time comes, we can use the money we earn..."
Xuyuan made a two gesture and said, "I'll take this," and then made an eight gesture and said, "You two elders, share this equally."
"How can that be possible? This technology was proposed by you. Why don't we just use this one?" Uncle Wang made a six gesture.
"Uh..." Xuyuan was about to open his mouth to refute.
Uncle Liu spoke at the right time, interrupting Xu Yuan's unfinished words, "Okay, no more words. With this number, we have made the deal."
"It's getting late, and our eyes are blurry. It's not easy to see the road at night, so we'll leave first."
The two old men turned and walked out in a hurry...
Ok.
Xu Yuan spread his hands helplessly.
It has been a week since we arrived here, and everyone's houses are almost built. Now everyone has started to select wasteland for reclamation.
The house of Xuyuan's family has been built, the windows and doors have been installed, and the kitchen has been put into use. Although the bed is heated by fire, Xuyuan still wants to let it air for a few days, so he will temporarily sleep on the floor at night.
After that, he had to get some hay to spread on the bed, and build a water tank for the house with yellow mud and dry it. He also had to fence off a yard with bamboo strips, making it as big as possible, and build a vegetable garden. He then borrowed the cows from Uncle Wang's family to reclaim the land in front of the house. Xu Yuan estimated that there were about two acres of land.
Oh, it's a headache. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Take your time. Make a wish and plan what you need to do next step by step in your mind.
He cut down some vines, tied a knot, called Xu Zhi for help, circled the approximate area to be reclaimed, and put it aside for the time being.
The most important thing now is to fence off the yard and cultivate the vegetable garden.
……
"It seems that lychees are not a rare commodity anymore. People pick them and buy them every day these days. The price has dropped a lot. I had a lot left yesterday that I couldn't sell."
"Yes, and the ones that can't be sold will go bad if they are kept at home soon. As for me, I plan to sell as much as I can today. I won't go to the county town tomorrow because I still have land to reclaim at home."
Aunt Li was selling lychees in the county town at the moment. Since there were not many customers, she started chatting with the wife of the old Fan family from the same village.
"Speaking of seeds, we have to buy some vegetable seeds to take back. We can have some to eat and sell the extra ones." Aunt Li remembered that her own vegetable garden needed vegetable seeds.
"Yeah, my family is going to buy some too. We're tired of eating wild vegetables these days, so let's grow some greens to change the taste." Old Fan's wife, Mrs. Lin, replied.
"Sister Li, Lin, how is the business today?"
"Aunt Li, hello Aunt Lin."
"Hey, Xu and A Ming, why are you still the same as before when you came? Have you got it done?" She picked up a bunch of lychees and handed it to Gu Qingming's arms.
The person who came was Xu Qing. Everyone came to the county town today by the donkey cart of Village Chief Gu, so they knew why Village Chief Gu came to the county town. Now Village Chief Gu came to the county town with silver to prepare to settle the village's affairs.
"I just entered the government office. It was inappropriate for a woman like me to follow you, so I wandered around and saw you guys here."
Gu Qingming stood obediently beside his mother, smiled sweetly at his two aunts, harvested a bunch of lychees, said thank you, and silently peeled the shells and started eating.
"Hey, get out of the way, get out of the way quickly." The coachman hurriedly pulled the reins, trying to control the vehicle, but it was very bad. He was unsteady and was thrown out heavily, losing consciousness on the spot.
When Xu Qing heard the shouting, he turned around, quickly pulled his son to the side, and the peeled lychees fell to the ground, instantly covered with dust and mud.
A carriage was rushing towards this side at a rapid pace. The driver driving the carriage was no longer in the carriage. A woman's cry for help was heard from the carriage. Everyone just managed to get out of the way and could only watch helplessly as the horse went crazy.
Aunt Li and Mrs. Lin had no time to clean up and could only watch the lychees on the stall being trampled everywhere, which made them feel sad and distressed.
"Miss, Miss, please hurry up and stop the horses." The maid and the steward who were chasing behind them could only shout loudly to several men who looked like servants beside them to quickly step forward and stop them.
Wherever the carriage went, there was a mess, and there was nothing good. Some people who couldn't dodge were knocked to the ground, and some were hit by stalls and fainted on the spot. The manager could only order people to register the price of the lost goods, agree on a time to go to the house to collect compensation, and take the injured to the clinic for treatment, and all medical expenses were covered.
When Aunt Li and Mrs. Lin heard that they would get compensation, they asked which family the young lady came from.
An old man nearby looked at the unfamiliar faces of the two people and took the initiative to say, "This is the daughter of Wu County Ya's family. Wu County Ya is a good official in Lin'an City who cares about the people. You made the right decision to come to Lin'an City."
Wu Shiya closed her eyes in the carriage, holding tightly onto the curtains on both sides of the carriage with her hands, "What should I do? What should I do? Someone come and save me." She shouted loudly, praying in her heart that someone would come to help her quickly.
After knocking over several stalls in succession, the carriage was already somewhat worn out. Wu Shiya could no longer keep her balance and lay directly on the carriage's board, but her hands were still tightly grasping the curtain.
"Grandma, grandma, please go, go!" Suddenly a girl's voice shouted loudly and she ran over from the side of the street.
The horse was running around like it was having fun, as if it was not afraid of pain, it would just run into anything it saw. Everyone who saw it was so crazy tried to get out of the way, but an old lady in front of them was carrying two shoulder poles full of yellow fruits and was oblivious to what was happening behind them.
Everyone could only shout and wave their hands for the old lady to get out of the way.
What a joke! Who would dare to step forward and stop the horse at this time? Are you trying to save your life?
