MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 72
When Zhang Fangyuan returned to the village in the afternoon, he stopped by the old carpenter He's house and ordered another two hundred orders. The last batch of goods had only been delivered to the shop for a few days, but they were stockpiled in the warehouse. The shot was given to Song Yong, and there was not much left.
Although there is enough in the warehouse to sell through the winter, just in case another merchant comes, he hastened to order and stock up, so as not to miss the business when the stock is out.
"Zhang Tuzi, business is booming too!"
Old carpenter He laughed when he received the job again. He finished the previous batch of goods day and night, so he didn't have to rest for two days and the goods came again. Although he didn't have to rest again, he was very happy.
Except for the few acres of land, the whole family relies on his handicraft work for food. This year's harvest is not good. I was worried that I would have to go around to find some work during the winter slack. Life will be easier next year, but I don't want the old carpenter. One person will stir up the money income of the family, and the whole family will not worry.
Zhang Fangyuan said: "Small business, it's not the New Year's Eve, store up more things and feel at ease for the New Year."
"Okay, if you're in a hurry, I'll ask my apprentice to do it together."
Zhang Fangyuan doesn't care who he asks for help: "As long as the quality is good and the quantity is sufficient."
After explaining the order, Zhang Fangyuan took Xiao Hei and walked back along the field ridge. There is a winter orange tree in the valley, the fruit is much smaller than an egg, and every winter it bears very well, and the bright orange grows among the orange leaves, which can be seen from a long distance.
Although this little orange is beautiful, but the taste is not good, it is sour, people have a toothache, no matter how good the fruit is, no one picks it every winter, but three or two children who have no snacks will pick two and eat play.
Zhang Fangyuan climbed up the tree to pick oranges. Others would not like the sour taste, but right now his daughter-in-law tasted it.
"Did Xu He come to your house to buy eggs?"
"Our eggs are reserved for Erbao to eat, how can we sell them to him?"
"My family has a lot of chickens and ducks. The old hens and ducks laid a lot of eggs, but they sold two baskets. But this family is also a bit picky. It makes so much money in business. Things are still fussy about triliteracy and biliteracy.”
Two husbands came from a distant field with baskets on their backs, as if they were going to cut pigweed, walking one after the other, chatting.
"You don't know that the richer people are, the more picky they are."
"Xu He's life is so good. He got pregnant not long after getting married. Now the family business is gone, and the butcher does it alone. The tea shed is so close, and he is raising babies at home. The daughter-in-law of the landlord's family has no he's great."
"Hey, who can tell a man is capable. Zhang Fangyuan's family has a small population, and now that he has a child, he must be offering him up."
"But having said that, today people came to your house to buy eggs, did you notice that Xu He's belly is bigger than ordinary little brother's. Didn't the little brother next door to yours also have a body, and he is ten times bigger than Xu He's?" Tomorrow, look, it's not as big as Xu He's stomach."
"Should it be a son?"
Another person snorted: "Birth is based on the size of the stomach? How many people in the village with small stomachs still have sons? According to me, the stomach doesn't look like it's only this month. I can't say it better than this." It was much earlier. If you think about who Zhang Fangyuan was in the village before, maybe the two hooked up together before they got married."
"It's not a good thing to say. People have been married for a long time, so it's impossible."
The man covered his mouth and kept laughing, as if he also felt that it was outrageous: "I'm a careless person, so I have something to say, otherwise why would my stomach be so big. You really don't know how to see things."
The other husband was dubious, hesitating to answer, and suddenly saw a strong black horse grazing on the grass on the ridge in front of him: "Whose horse is this, it looks like..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a thud, and like a black bear falling from the orange tree, he stuck straight into the ground.
The two of them looked at the man with a stern face, their breaths were concentrated, and their souls were almost gone.
Gossiping and being caught face to face, really scared and ashamed, the two of them pursed their lips: "Go... let's go..."
The two hurriedly grabbed the back rope and went forward. Suddenly there was a cold voice from behind, colliding with the bitter winter wind: "Next time, I will talk about the Zhang family's affairs casually. Don't blame me for being rude."
Although they didn't reply, the two husbands ran faster.
Zhang Fangyuan held the oranges in his mouth, feeling angry in his heart. He didn't care what others said about him, but he couldn't bear what others said about Xu He.
He bluffed his face and went home. When he went to his yard, he found that Hege'er was not in the house, but the yard was very lively, full of the crowing of chickens and ducks.
Xiao Hei looked at the strange poultry popping up in the yard, his two hooves raised his neck and neighed, but the sound was not loud, as if he was deliberately teasing these strangers, the chickens and ducks clucked and quacked wildly in fright. run away.
Zhang Fangyuan's complexion improved, he put the oranges on the table in the room, and came out and cursed: "Just make a fuss there, scare the chickens and ducks away, and don't yell at me when you get beaten up later."
Xiao Hei snorted twice, and under Zhang Fangyuan's stare, he went back to the pony stable in the backyard.
Not long after, Xu He came back with two big baskets in his hands. Zhang Fangyuan went up to meet him, took the basket and found it was quite heavy, he was about to lift it up, but Xu He hurriedly stopped him: "Be careful, they are all chicken and duck eggs, don't get pregnant."
Hearing this, Zhang Fangyuan lifted the cloth covering the basket, and there were indeed darker eggs neatly placed inside, a basket of large duck eggs and a basket of small eggs.
"Why buy so many, there are dozens of them, and if you don't have time to eat them for a long time, you will be short."
Xu He said: "I bought some old chickens and ducks. Some of them were sold in the tea shed in the neighboring village and I brought them back. I went to see the newly hatched chickens at Sibo's house. I thought that since I was raising babies at home, Just find something to do."
"Then you bought dozens of hatchable eggs and prepared to raise chickens and ducks?"
Xu He nodded: "Look, chickens grow slowly, so I buy fewer eggs for this reason, and more duck eggs. The ducks will grow up to be slaughtered in two months. It's good to send them to the tea shed to eat at home. Female ducks If you keep it for a long time, you can still produce eggs, and then you can make some preserved eggs and salted duck eggs."
Zhang Fangyuan sighed helplessly: "You really have nothing to do, and you are not honest at home. You always want to find a job." Although he doesn't approve of Xu He's hard work, he still acts lightly when he sees people happy. Carefully put the egg on the ground.
Xu He thought about it: "I thought about it carefully. Although the child is said to be born next spring, after birth, he still has to be watched over and taken care of every day. He has to be able to run and dance at the age of two or three before he can let go a little bit. For such a long time, it is just right to take care of the children and do something at the same time."
"Isn't it good to enjoy Qingfu?" Zhang Fangyuan peeled the small oranges he picked just now and put them in Xu He's hands.
Xu He took the oranges and patted Zhang Fangyuan's empty palm with a smile: "How old am I, what kind of happiness do I enjoy?"
"If I don't find something to do, it's hard to listen to the gossip of the village gossip every day, and I will be really mad at that time."
Zhang Fangyuan frowned when he heard the words. He didn't want to mention today's matter, but he didn't expect Brother He to know: "People in the village just have nothing to do and always stare at other people's houses. If someone dares to come If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you tell me, and I will go to their house to deal with people."
"Come on, they are all business people, and they will come to beat people every now and then. They say their things, but I don't take it to heart, just do my own business."
Zhang Fangyuan took a deep breath: "Sure, then I'll help you tidy it up. Today, I'll go to Sibo's to pick up some straw and come back to circle a few more duck nests, so that the eggs can be hatched then."
Xu He wanted to say that he worked at home all day, and he could do it slowly. He didn't need to come back to work when he was busy in the city, but seeing that he was very energetic, he swallowed the words back , Turning to say: "I will do the fine work, you just use a hammer and a nail to make the chicken and duck shed bigger."
"Success, follow your arrangement."
Zhang Fangyuan went to take out his tools, carried the wood to the backyard to beat it, the two of them worked together, and talked about the shop business in the city for a while.
Xu He was very happy to learn that a large batch of goods had been sold. Today, when Chen Si came back from slaughtering pigs, he went next door to buy two pages of pig livers. After being bitten by insects, it is just right to pick a handful of vegetable tips and fry pork liver.
The couple didn't go to the tea shed for dinner at night, they cooked and ate at home, and they ate dinner alone without the two of them for a long time.
Two days later, Zhang Fangyuan packed all Song Yongyao's goods into boxes, and the merchant came to order the goods and received the balance.
"Brother Zhang, you should pay more attention recently. I heard that many people are eyeing your business."
At noon, Zhang Fangyuan was going to the stall to order something to eat, but An San'er went to the shop to buy teeth brushing for the girls in the building according to the time. They bought a lot, so Zhang Fangyuan gave him some benefits. The two of them didn't meet for a while, and there were no customers at noon, so they put the sign of the shop closed and found a small restaurant to eat some side dishes.
After a few glasses of wine, An San'er's face was full of envy. He had heard that Zhang Fangyuan started to start a business. , How can it not be enviable.
Holding the cup, Zhang Fangyuan looked at the man's cheekbones flushed from drinking, and he was already a little drunk, but he also believed what he said.
He knew that An San'er was well-informed in the city, so it's not a hypothesis. Besides, when the business is booming, others can see it, just like Xu He's selling stewed pork at the stall. When he makes money, some people are greedy and want a share soup.
It's normal for someone to be eager to move. If no one pays attention, something is wrong.
Even though he was prepared in his heart, Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help but poured the whole bowl of wine into his mouth and swallowed it all. It's only going anywhere, but after a little more than a quarter, some people can't sit still.
Zhang Fangyuan put down his wine bowl: "Do you know who it is?"
"There are so many people staring at it, it's hard to say who can really confirm it, and it's hard to find the goods if you think about it."
Zhang Fangyuan responded, "Whatever he does, it's not so easy to earn this money. In order to reduce the cost, he and Xu He ran a lot. If others want to do it, they have to estimate the cost. .
After eating the wine, Zhang Fangyuan was not in a hurry to go back to the shop, but first went to the hall where herbs are used to make tooth powder.
After a month of peace and harmony, it entered the twelfth lunar month.
The ducklings hatched by Xu He earlier were meticulously served and raised by the warm charcoal fire. Finally, the shells were broken. The little ones got out of the eggshells. The meat was very small, and the fur was sticky. Wet, lying in the nest and screaming.
And on Tianjie in the city, a string of firecrackers sounded, and a new shop opened.
