Happy Farmer's Life

Du Weiming got up in the morning and went to find soap and body oil. Well, thirty sets should be enough.I don't know how it's been selling recently.

Zhou Wen made breakfast, and everyone left after eating hastily.When I went out, I met villagers. Everyone was curious about when Li Er's cousin came.After talking for a while, I wasted some time.Because the cattle had been sold, the four of them went to the town on foot.

Everyone talked and laughed on the way, and the time passed quickly.Most of the time, Du Weiming, Zhou Wen, and Wang Wu were talking, and Liu Jingyuan only said a few words from time to time, but the atmosphere was still very good.

First went to the shopkeeper's shop.

"Li Er, I haven't been here for a long time, are you here for the market today?"

"Yes. A few days ago, there were some things at home, and I was a little busy. If you are free today, come here to buy something."

"Li Er, last time the soap is almost sold out, but there is still some body oil, did you bring it today?"

"Bring it, bring it. I brought thirty sets of body oil and soap today."

Du Weiming asked Zhou Wen and Wang Wu to pick out some daily necessities and seasonings in the store.I went to the side with the shopkeeper to settle accounts.Liu Jingyuan was beside Du Weiming.Forty boxes of soap, ten bottles of body oil, 1530 Wen in total excluding those given to the shopkeeper, and 130 Wen for daily necessities and seasonings. The shopkeeper gave Du Weiming 400 Wen in copper money.Temporarily store the purchased things in the shopkeeper's shop.

The four of us went to have lunch first.I went to Tianxianglou, the shop where Du Weiming sold olives.Picking a private seat upstairs and sitting down, Xiao Er walked over diligently.This tall guest officer looks like a rich man, and the suit on his body is probably worth a lot of money.

"Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

"Have steamed shad, pickled meat with preserved vegetables, Longjing shrimp, steamed lion's head, roasted squab, sweet and sour combination, white mushroom and cabbage heart, and three delicacies soup. The tea will be served in Biluochun."

"Okay, guest officer, just wait a moment."

"Jing Yuan, why do you order so much, it seems very expensive." Du Weiming wondered whether the money in his arms was enough.

"Wei Ming, don't worry, you can eat with confidence."

The tea is served first, and it is much more fragrant than the tea in the village. Even Du Weiming, who doesn't know much about tea, knows that this tea is very good.The first dish to come up is Longjing Shrimp.Shrimp with a light tea fragrance, refreshing in the mouth.Pork with preserved vegetables, the meat is crispy but not greasy, and the preserved vegetables absorb the umami taste of the meat, making it even more delicious.Du Weiming also ate the squab last time, it is Tianxianglou's signature dish.Steamed shad, lion head and the like are also delicious.

Du Weiming ate without looking up, as soon as a new dish came out, Jing Yuan picked the best part for him.

"Jing Yuan, you eat by yourself, I will pack it myself."

"It doesn't matter, you eat slowly, if there is not enough for us to add more food."

"Enough, enough, it's good if we can finish these dishes." Du Weiming shook his head quickly, although there are four people, but the amount of these dishes is quite a lot, it's good if we can finish them, don't waste it.

Du Weiming had a round belly after eating a meal. When paying the bill, Du Weiming felt a little pain in his flesh.I ate a tael of silver for a meal.One tael of silver, even though it was paid by Jing Yuan, Du Weiming was still very reluctant.How long would it take me to earn one tael of silver?

"Wei Ming, didn't you say to make delicious food for me? Let's go, let's go buy the ingredients." Seeing that Du Weiming was still worrying about the one tael of money, Liu Jingyuan quickly changed the subject.

"Wei Ming, let Zhou Wen and Wang Wu do something for me, let's go shopping.", "Okay, Zhou Wen, Wang Wu, be careful. We'll meet up at the shopkeeper Fang later."

Zhou Wen and Wang Wu went to work with the money.Liu Jingyuan and Du Weiming also started purchasing.First, I went to buy some white flour and white rice. The main material for making today is to use white flour.White rice was what Liu Jingyuan insisted on buying. I didn't pay attention last time. Wei Ming always ate brown rice. After eating it once, he decided that brown rice was really not very tasty.It is better to eat white rice.

Liu Jingyuan bought a hundred catties of white rice and ten catties of white noodles in one go, and made an appointment to pick them up later.Du Weiming's face turned pale when he left the shop.Jingyuan can spend too much money.

"Jing Yuan, how do we get so much money back?"

"Don't worry, you can always move back."

The two went to the market to buy five catties of meat, three catties of red beans, some fruits and vegetables that were not available in the fields, and some other food, and specially bought two large watermelons.Du Weiming felt that it was almost time to buy it, and he was ready to go back.Unexpectedly, when passing by a cloth shop, Liu Jingyuan wanted to drag Du Weiming into the cloth shop again.

"Jing Yuan, don't buy any more, you see, you won't be able to keep it anymore."

"This is the last one. We will go back after buying."

Du Weiming really couldn't talk about Jing Yuan, so he had no choice but to go into the cloth shop.Considering Du Weiming's current situation, Liu Jingyuan didn't choose the best silks and satins to buy, but only bought some medium-sized silks and satins, better cotton cloth, and some high-quality cotton wool.This price didn't scare Du Weiming to death. Five pieces of cloth plus cotton batting cost five taels of silver.This is a money grab.

Du Weiming felt his legs tremble when he walked out of the shop.

"Jing Yuan, let's go home."

Liu Jingyuan felt it was a little funny, he just bought such a few things and frightened him like this, forget it, let's do this first, don't irritate him too much.

Both of them were carrying big bags and small bags, especially Liu Jingyuan, whose hands were full of things.Before reaching the shopkeeper's shop, Zhou Wen greeted him. Liu Jingyuan motioned him to take what Du Weiming was holding first, and the two walked towards Wang Wu.

Wang Wu sat on the bullock cart.The two had just left to buy cattle.Du Weiming was taken aback when he saw the bullock cart. It turns out that this is what Jing Yuan said.Du Weiming felt a little speechless, Jing Yuan was too good at spending money.After putting the things in the car, the group went to the rice store to pick up white rice and noodles, and then they were ready to go back.

On the way back, the atmosphere was somewhat silent, Du Weiming sat in the car with his head down and said nothing.Seeing him like this, Liu Jingyuan was a little annoyed and stopped talking.Zhou Wen and Wang Wu were driving in front. Seeing that the two masters were like this, they didn't dare to speak.With the ox cart, the speed of going home is obviously much faster, but the ease and joy of coming here are gone.

When he got home, Du Weiming went back to the house by himself.All three could see that Du Weiming was angry now.Zhou Wen and Wang Wu didn't say much, they just moved things into the house in silence.Baimi moved to the storage room, Zhou Wen and Wang Wu had already slept back in the original room, put the cloth in the middle room, did not dare to take it to Du Weiming, and carried all the food into the kitchen.Zhou Wen was busy making dinner, while Wang Wu went to settle the cattle he bought.

Liu Jingyuan stood outside for a while and then walked into the room.

"Wei Ming, are you angry? Do you blame me for shopping too much today?" If the people in the palace saw Liu Jingyuan at this time, their eyes would probably pop out.Such a cautious look is really not suitable to appear on Liu Jingyuan's face.

Du Weiming sat on the bed alone without speaking, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay, Weiming, don't be angry, it's my fault. No, shall we return the things?"

"You bought so much, how do you return it?"

Seeing Weiming speak, Liu Jingyuan heaved a sigh of relief, as long as he is willing to speak.

"Then why don't we buy it next time?"

"Jing Yuan, I know you care about me, and I know you have good conditions, but you suddenly bought me so many things, I really can't accept it."

"It's because I didn't think carefully. I will discuss it with you next time. Don't be angry."

When they entered the village, the villagers saw that Du Weiming and the others were coming back in a bullock cart, and some people came up to talk, saying that Du Weiming's cousin was really rich, and that he would buy a cow if he wanted to buy a cow.Some villagers didn't say anything on the surface, but they saw a bunch of people whispering over there, and they probably said that.Du Weiming was really a little angry in his heart. Jing Yuan did this, and what he did a few days ago was in vain.

Liu Jingyuan did not expect that his kindness would bring such an effect.Although he lived in this village for a period of time, he didn't have much contact with the villagers. He didn't expect that this would cause Du Weiming such a big trouble.Wasn't it so troublesome to buy a cow last time?

Liu Jingyuan didn't know that Du Weiming bought cattle and land last time, and hired two servants. Some villagers were already jealous.Although Du Weiming had already sold the cattle last time, everyone discussed it in private.This sudden purchase of cattle again, isn't this giving the villagers more talk.

Liu Jingyuan gave Du Weiming a modest compensation, and promised to discuss with him when buying things in the future.Du Weiming finally turned cloudy.I bought it and bought it, but I may not really return it.Jing Yuan's starting point is for himself, but it's not appropriate.Seeing that he apologized and promised, Du Weiming couldn't be angry anymore.If you get angry again, you will look hypocritical.In this way, the first conflict between the two was successfully resolved with Liu Jingyuan bowing his head and keeping his head down.

Seeing Du Weiming and Liu Jingyuan walk out of the room, Du Weiming put his usual smile on his face again. Zhou Wen and Wang Wu knew that this crisis was over.

"Zhou Wen, have you made dinner yet?"

"Master, it's already done, you go wash your face first, and have a rest. Dinner will be ready soon."

Seeing that there was really nothing that could help, Du Weiming went to fetch water to wash his face first.The nearest well to Du Weiming's house is the first one near the back mountain.The well water is cold, and it seems to take away the fatigue after washing the face.

Du Weiming went to bring a new bucket of well water and came back, and soaked the watermelon in the well water.Watermelon soaked in well water tastes better than watermelon kept in the refrigerator.Du Weiming thought that after dinner, he could just eat watermelon outside the house to cool off.Zhou Wenzheng was calling for dinner, Wang Wu was setting the bowls and chopsticks, Du Weiming and Liu Jingyuan were busy serving dishes and meals, and the family had a peaceful dinner.
