Chapter 179 Buying a Horse
Lin Jin chose a similar bamboo and pierced it according to the method he remembered, so that he could put the eel directly inside.
"Put it in, put it in." Lin Jin pointed the half-man-high bamboo tube at Liu Zhengqing and asked Liu Zhengqing to put the eel in. Then he buried the whole bamboo in the canal. "Okay, then we just have to wait for the eel to take the bait and it won't delay the rice planting."
Liu Zhengqing didn't know what to say for a moment: "Where did you learn these ideas from?"
Lin Jin smiled and said nothing: "It's not important, it's not important. The most important thing now is to farm."
Lin Jin and Liu Zhengqing planted the seedlings silently for the whole morning. After they had finished planting all the seedlings in an acre of land, Lin Jin looked at the remaining seedlings with an eager look in his eyes.
"Can we just throw out the remaining seedlings directly?" Lin Jin picked up the remaining seedlings and casually threw out dozens of them.
Although it is true that all the seedlings in a field have been planted, some of them may not survive, so the remaining ones scattered randomly are kept as backup.
Liu Zhengqing washed the dirt off his hands and legs, and looked at the bamboo tube: "Pick it up now?"
"Come back in the evening." Lin Jin folded up the dustpans and glanced at the bamboos in the canal. "There shouldn't be many now."
Liu Zhengqing had never used this method to catch eels, but since Lin Jin said so, he didn't care anymore: "Then go back."
Otherwise the sun will start to burn people soon.
It's a good time to go back and start making lunch.
After the two of them returned, Liu Zhengqing went straight into the kitchen to prepare lunch, while Lin Jin was busy writing down precautions. She planned to find Yan Fang in the afternoon. Planting rice too densely or too sparsely would affect the yield, and she would have to start looking for Yan Fang to borrow people to observe and pull out the rice seedlings for the next ten days.
Lin Jin looked at the notes written on a page and carefully put them away: "Should you go back to the capital tomorrow?"
Liu Zhengqing came out with a clay pot of soup: "You can wait a little longer."
"I think……"
"What do you think is unimportant?" Liu Zhengqing interrupted Lin Jin directly, "Go get the dishes and chopsticks."
Lin Jin: “Oh.”
There was no point in her talking anymore, sadly.
After finishing her meal, Lin Jin boiled a pot of water for a bath, thoroughly washing away the sweat and dirt smell from working in the fields over the past few days. She had been working in the fields for more than a week, but ended up being covered in mud again the next day just after washing herself the night before. Lin Jin's endurance had reached its limit today.
"Ah, I'm alive. This time I'm really alive." Lin Jin lay on the bed, yawned and prepared to take a nap. "System, please help me exchange a bottle of good dream vitality water."
The replacement conditions that the system had helped to apply for could not be passed, but the main system directly added benefits to Lin Jin.
Lin Jin thought this was fine. It was just increasing wages without reducing workload, which was reasonable.
After she finished drinking the drink exchanged by the light system, she fell asleep. She had a light sleep, and this water could allow her to enter a deep sleep and quickly replenish her energy. The only drawback was that it could only be exchanged once a day, and only ten milliliters at a time.
Because his sleep has improved in the past few days, Lin Jin's overall condition is much better than before. This is why Liu Zhengqing is still willing to let Lin Jin do the work.
Although Lin Jin seemed happy before, her complexion was actually not very good. But in the past few days, her complexion has become rosy.
Liu Zhengqing never thought that Lin Jin used to twist his hair from time to time because he was sleep deprived. He thought that maybe Lin Jin liked to do these things in her heart, so she was in a good mood and her body naturally felt better.
Seeing that Lin Jin's door was closed, he guessed that Lin Jin was probably taking a nap. He rode his horse to the town and went directly to the place where the horses were sold.
The horseman saw someone coming in from the corner of his eye, and hurried to greet him. He looked at Liu Zhengqing's clothes carefully. He originally thought that he should buy an ordinary horse for transportation, but when he saw the white horse behind the other person, he hesitated for a while.
Liu Zhengqing had been wearing the same coarse linen clothes as Lin Jin these days because he was working in the fields. He didn't look like he had any money, but he brought a Ferghana horse with him.
Is this buying a horse or selling a horse?
The horse dealer's eyes were glued to the white horse. Anyone who knows horses loves BMW, and he is no exception.
"Sir, are you here to sell horses?" Seeing that Liu Zhengqing had remained silent, the trader took the initiative to speak.
Liu Zhengqing knew that the other party had taken a fancy to his horse, so he didn't care much: "I'm here to buy a horse, bring out your best horse."
This horse was bestowed by the late emperor on Song Shiqiu, and then given to him by Song Shiqiu. Even if he became destitute, he would not be able to sell the horse.
The horse driver knew that an important customer had come. He looked at the white horse behind Liu Zhengqing and quickly asked someone to bring out three horses from the stable. Although they were not Ferghana horses like Liu Zhengqing's, they were also very famous Mongolian horses.
"You actually have war horses in this small place." Liu Zhengqing looked at the three horses carefully. Their coats were shiny brown and red, and they looked to be well-raised. They were fat and strong, with sturdy limbs. The shop owner did not fool him. They were indeed good horses.
The horse trader smiled and said, "Sir, what you said is true. How can it be justified for a horse seller like me to not have a few fine horses?"
"This is the one. Put the saddle, bridle and other things on it for me." Liu Zhengqing picked the best-looking one, paid the money readily, and left with the horse.
He bought this horse for Lin Jin, so naturally he had to choose the best one.
The horse driver didn't expect that Liu Zhengqing chose the horse with the worst temper, but it was also strange that the horse that used to be the most stubborn was indeed unusually docile today.
Liu Zhengqing climbed onto the horse, intending to test whether the horse was fierce and humane. As soon as he got on the horse, he immediately realized that this horse was different from other horses. Even the Taxue that Song Shiqiu gave him took him some time to tame before he became obedient.
This horse is quite docile, unlike an ordinary war horse.
"Your horse is so docile. I'm afraid you are planning some bad thing to throw me off the horse when I'm not prepared." Liu Zhengqing smiled and pulled the reins, riding the horse into a gallop. The white horse ran side by side beside him.
Looking at Liu Zhengqing's back, he seemed to have finally recognized who Liu Zhengqing was. He patted his head in sudden realization and said, "No wonder, no wonder!"
"No wonder?" The groom who came to lead the remaining two horses back couldn't help but ask when he heard his words. He glanced in the direction where Liu Zhengqing left, and saw only a cloud of dust.
The horse was finally sold, isn't that a good thing? It has been returned several times before, I hope it won't be returned this time.
"This is Lord Liu who came to control the flood last year and saved the people of our city." The scoundrel exclaimed, "No wonder he can ride this horse."
The flood happened to submerge his area, and the Mongolian horse was rescued at that time. It turned out that it had been waiting for this gentleman for a whole year.
I can only say that this is fate.
Liu Zhengqing rode the horse for a while and found that the horse was really docile. In that case, it would be safe to give it to Lin Jin.
"That's great. You will follow my sister from now on. I only have this one sister, so you have to carry her well for me." Liu Zhengqing smiled and touched the bright red horse mane. The Mongolian horse raised its head and moved its hooves, as if it agreed.
Liu Zhengqing pulled the reins again: "Let's go home."
At this time, Lin Jin was taking Yan Fang to her field to discuss the spacing of the rice seedlings. She also asked Yan Fang to look at the difference between the mud in her field and the mud in the field next to it.
Yan Fang noticed the bamboo tube in the canal: "What is this used for?"
"We're catching eels." Lin Jin smiled. Knowing that some people don't eat eels for various reasons, he explained, "Eels are a good thing. They're perfect for making soup and warming up the body. But we can't catch too many. After all, we'll need them to keep the rice fields moist."
As for the fish guarding the fry, don't worry too much about it.
