Shen Nanzhu was very happy when he heard that he could buy a donkey for only one tael of silver.

But there was a hesitant expression on his face.

Shopkeeper Yu wanted to offer her up as a bodhisattva at this time, and asked if there was any embarrassment.

Shen Nanzhu was waiting for his words, and said hesitantly: "Master Yu, look at the current conditions of our family. We only send sweet potatoes today and the next day. When we get the money back later, we have to buy things to subsidize the family. , Now I just can’t get the money to buy a donkey.”

Hearing what she said, Hua Yu was about to speak, but Shen Nanzhu took her arm and squeezed her hand to silence her.

Shopkeeper Yu laughed when he heard her talk: "What should I do? It's just one or two taels of silver. The goods you will deliver tomorrow will not only be one or two taels. I will talk to my relatives first. If you like donkeys , This money should be deposited in the restaurant first, and then deducted later."

Shen Nanzhu smiled when she heard it: "Master Yu, you are really a good person."

He Qingqi, who was on the side, said unhappily after hearing this: "This restaurant belongs to my family. The restaurant helps advance the money. Zhu'er should thank me if she wants to thank her."

Of course shopkeeper Yu knew the joke the eldest lady was making, and said with a smile: "I'm just borrowing flowers to present Buddha. The good person behind this is naturally Miss Dong's, so I dare not take credit."

Shen Nanzhu turned to He Qingqi and said, "Naturally, I have to thank Qingqi. The sale of our melons, fruits and vegetables is all thanks to Qingqi's care."

Only then did He Qingqi raised her chin and snorted: "You are kind and courteous, unlike some people who can't get a fart with three punches."

Hua Yu knew that she was referring to herself, but she remained flat and motionless, sticking behind Shen Nanzhu like a log.

It was only then that Shen Nanzhu remembered the game that Hua Yu had brought down from the mountain yesterday, she took the small bag from Hua Yu's hand and said to shopkeeper Yu, "Boss, let's take this game away as well."

In the past, Shopkeeper Yu hoped that Hua Yu would buy more wild game. Now, although the sales of other dishes are far ahead, wild game is still the hotel's main focus. Naturally, I will not miss it. I will give them money together, sweet potatoes and game, Exactly one or two in total.

Shen Nanzhu happily accepted it, and stuffed it into Hua Yu's hand.

Hua Yu refused to hold it, and put her hand into her pocket, but Shen Nanzhu refused, and stuffed the silver into her pocket.

Shopkeeper Yu was very surprised when he saw how the young couple gave way to each other. Which one of the other family didn’t want to take money, and which man didn’t want to have money in his pocket? interesting.

At this early morning, there were no diners in the store yet, so shopkeeper Yu took the two of them to the donkey-raising relative's house he mentioned, and Ms. He followed behind like a follower.

"Zhu'er, there must be outstanding people in your family, otherwise you wouldn't be able to raise such good-looking people, and you wouldn't be able to grow such delicious food." He Qingqi walked beside Shen Nanzhu, and naturally took her arm.

Except for Hua Yu, Shen Nanzhu rarely had physical contact with people, even in modern times.

Now that Ms. He is so affectionately pulling her up, she was a little stiff at first, but since the other party is her benefactor, it's not easy to just push her away and let her hold her.

Fortunately, Miss He has a carefree personality, and she won't make people feel uncomfortable.

It's just that Hua Yu, who was on the side, froze when she heard Ms. He talking about their village, heh, outstanding people, Hou'erling, for the villagers of Fenghuang Village, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a gate of ghosts in a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. In the past ten or twenty years, Except for the village head and Shen Nanzhu who went in that day, no one else set foot there, and Hou'er Ridge seemed to be abandoned.

It's just that she didn't expect Shen Nanzhu to laugh when she heard He Qingqi's words: "Of course, our Houerling has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and there are good fields everywhere. Now I have to do farm work every day to grow food."

When He Qingqi heard what she said, her eyes lit up immediately: "Zhu'er, can you invite me to your house to play?"

Shen Nanzhu didn't expect this Miss He to be so familiar. Now that the land in Hou'er Ridge hasn't been finished yet, if she is really allowed to go there, it won't be a secret.

He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No rush, no rush, I've been very busy recently, and I don't have much time to entertain you. I'll invite you when I'm free after a while."

He Qingqi was rejected, but the other party still had room for it, and she didn't feel unhappy, so she happily changed the subject and talked about other things.

The place is not too far away. After walking for more than ten minutes, I arrived at a place in the town that specializes in selling livestock. The boss greeted shopkeeper Yu from a long distance away.

Looking at the big and small donkeys in the pen, Shen Nanzhu didn't know which one to pick.

Hua Yu immediately fell in love with a muscular little female donkey.

The owner of the shop smiled when he saw it: "Master, you have a good eye. There are only three donkeys that are the strongest in our shop. You picked one of them right away. It is younger than the other two, and it is less than a year old." , but it is already ready to pull goods.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Nanzhu blinked at Hua Yu, expressing her appreciation.

Hua Yu avoided her gaze expressionlessly.

Shen Nanzhu looked at her reddish ear tips, secretly laughing at this person's thin skin.

The donkey was finally sold for 1000 or [-] copper coins. Considering that the goods would be transported later, Shen Nanzhu spent another [-] copper coins to buy a simple wooden cart from the shopkeeper and tied it to the back of the donkey.

With a scooter, Shen Nanzhu was very happy when she went back. Hua Yu was leading the donkey in front, and she was sitting on the scooter dangling her feet. When she thought that she would not have to carry the goods tomorrow, she was very happy.

"Brother Hua, you don't have to push the mill when you go back. This little female donkey has taken your place."

Hearing what she said, Hua Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she thought of walking around the stone mill the whole afternoon the day before yesterday, making her dizzy. Full of ridicule, he turned his head and glared at her.

For Shen Nanzhu, after getting along with Hua Yu for several days, he already knew that this person's temperament was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he was no longer as afraid of her as he was at the beginning, when she glared at her, he stuck out his tongue at her.

"Childish." Hua Yu turned her head and ignored her, and walked slowly towards the house.

Seeing someone carrying pork to the town to sell on the way, Shen Nanzhu hurriedly stopped Hua Yu to stop the donkey cart, and went forward to buy half a catty of pig offal and half a catty of pork belly, thinking about going back home and cooking a pig three delicacies for lunch Drink soup, stir-fry melon seedlings with pork at night, and you will be very comfortable at the end of the day.

After buying the meat, Shen Nanzhu's 25 copper coins were used up.

Hua Yu watched her take out the empty pocket, her eyes darkened, and she took out the one tael of silver she had in the morning and handed it to her.

Shen Nanzhu confiscated it: "There is still a hundred copper coins at home. Brother Hua, you keep it. We have agreed that I have to make up for the 15 taels of silver you paid for me before."

"I'll talk about that later." Hua Yu's voice could not hear any emotion.

"No need, now we are making money every day. Yesterday it was five hundred wen, today we have one or two, and tomorrow we have a basket of taro, a basket of sweet potato, and a basket of radish. According to a basket of one hundred catties, tomorrow it will be... five sweet potatoes. A hundred wen... er, taro, eight wen for a taro... That's eight hundred wen, radish is cheaper, four wen a catty, that's four hundred copper coins, adding up to one or seven is close to two taels, every day like this, we By the end of the month, you will be able to save 40 taels of silver."

Looking at the longing on Shen Nanzhu's face, Hua Yu suddenly felt a little depressed. This little fool lives so carefully and carefully, but his own situation will hold her back.

At the same time, she also thought of a serious question: "Is there still enough to sell in your milk field?"

Shen Nanzhu's face turned pale when she heard the words, she really couldn't explain to Hua Yu where the food came from for the time being, and Hua Yu was so easy to be fooled because he didn't distinguish between grains, so she could only say vaguely : "These two months are enough, when the time comes to plant those in Hou'er Ridge, it will be able to continue slowly."

Hua Yu heard that her words were full of loopholes, so she didn't ask any further questions, and continued on her way silently.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning when we got home. The two of them ate taro before going out. They were still not very hungry. Hua Yu didn't plan to go up the mountain.

In the past, it didn't matter if there were two sheep, but now that there is an extra donkey, we have to take it seriously.

The sun was rising so high, Shen Nanzhu pulled out an old bamboo mat, patted it clean, and spread it out in an open place.

Seeing this, Hua Yu put down the work in hand, went into the house and carried out the half basket of corn kernels, dumped it on the mat, and then went back to tinker with her wooden door.

After drying the corn, Shen Nanzhu went outside to pull some pigweed and came back, mixed with radish leaves and sweet potato vines from the space, half of it was used to feed the new little female donkey, and the other half was kept for chopping pigweed Cook it for a while and feed it to the pigs.

The pigpen and the sheeppen were close together, both outside the yard, Huayu was repairing the door with her body, Shen Nanzhu lit a fire in the cubicle to cook the pig food, and started chopping pig grass before the water boiled.

Now that conditions permit, feed cooked food, so that piglets can grow better.

The smoke from the kitchen is curling up, and Houerling, which has been quiet for more than ten years, has begun to breathe a bit of life.It's just that people are afraid of those legends and dare not take a step forward, and Hua Yu herself doesn't want to go out to communicate with others, which has created a situation where Houerling is isolated from the world, but for Hua Yu and Shen Nanzhu, such a situation is no matter how good it is but.

Tranquil life does not require too much disturbance from outsiders, just use hardworking hands in exchange for a more affluent life.

Because the corn that was ground before was not dried in the sun, it was a bit damp. Shen Nanzhu planned to save the corn for a meal for himself, and use the rest to feed the animals.

After the water boiled, I put an extra bowl of corn paste, then added the chopped hogweed and vine leaves, scooped them together, and the pig food was cooked, scooped half of it out and put it in a bucket to feed it when it was cool, and then fed it. Save half to feed at night.

There was still some time, and Shen Nanzhu went to the field with a sickle to clear the grass in the fourth field, and counted as much as he could clear before noon.

Not long after bending down to cut, there was a tall figure beside him.

"Brother Hua, have you finished the wooden door?"

"En." Hua Yu responded, walked to the other end, bowed down and began to clean up the weeds.

Shen Nanzhu looked at the other person's straight back, straightened up and bent down, his hands were nimble, and he moved quickly, and quickly cut off a small piece of the foot.

The corner of her mouth couldn't help ticking up. Whoever said that this person can't do farm work, as long as someone leads and demonstrates, she can follow behind to do it.

Thinking of this, I looked up at the sky again. The sun was rising higher and higher, so I had to hurry up and work for a while.

After working for more than an hour, Shen Nanzhu asked Zhuzhu the time, and when he heard twelve o'clock, and the weather was getting hot, he hurriedly called Hua Yu to go home first.

"You go back first." This person was as cold as ever.

Knowing her temperament, Shen Nanzhu didn't care about her, picked up the scythe and headed home. She was hungry and had to make rice quickly. The pig offal she bought on the way back in the morning came in handy.

It's hot now, and there were no refrigerators in ancient times, and Shen Nanzhu couldn't put the meat in the space warehouse blatantly, so he hung a bamboo basket in the well, with banana leaves under the basket, and put the food that needs to be kept fresh in the basket , Hanging to the sky above the well, the water in the well is very cold, which can achieve a certain cooling or even freezing effect.
