Smallholder Farmer

Chapter 21 It feels so good to be a local tyrant!

Shopkeeper Zeng's fat hand is shaking! A face of disapproval!

"What else do I use! I'm old, this miscellaneous wood book box is used by my boss, the little brat has replaced it with a new one, and this one is left behind! If you don't mind, I will call someone Bring it!"

"Shopkeeper, how can you say you don't like the word, I'm really sorry, I keep taking things from your house!" My aunt never dared to speak in front of nobles, so Yuyue came forward to deal with it!

"Okay, isn't your food cheaper for me? It's okay! Go and buy books. I have a few books in my room, which are idle, but I remember, only this one is gone. Remember (memory), you have no choice but to buy it yourself! This pen should be bought better, otherwise, the writing will be ugly in the future! Come get the book box with me when you go home!"

"Thank you, Uncle Shopkeeper!" Yu Yue said!

"Okay, little girl, let's go, but as soon as this dish is available, hurry up and pick it up. I've been relying on cabbage for the past few days!"

"That's right, Uncle Shopkeeper! The food will be ready in seven or eight days!" Yu Yue waved goodbye to the shopkeeper!

Not to mention, in ancient times, if you want to say why everything is inferior and only reading is high, it really makes sense, a thin "Disciple Regulations" costs a hundred coins! Get two hundred eggs! I bought a felt mat, bought two writing brushes, and the patriarch sent me a Chinese regular script, and I bought a big script and a small script, one for one hundred yuan! I also saw the bookcases. There are all kinds of books. The cheapest ones are made of wood, and they cost two taels of silver!

The three of them were stunned! I really didn't dare to buy it! In fact, Yuyue still wants to add some furniture to the house! This time I shrank my head in fright! Never dare to think about it again!

In fact, looking at these different book boxes, Yuyue felt that it was not suitable. With these few books packed inside, the books were not as heavy as the boxes! The packaging is heavier than the inner flesh, and it is eight times heavier! Is it possible to take it with me every day, it doesn't exhaust me to death! In the end, after asking, I found out that it was used to store books in the house. Did you see the copper lock? Can be locked!

For reading, there is this kind of handle, and there is also a kind of back, most people use bamboo! There are also ones that look like bamboo baskets! This kind of lightness, but it won't work if it's raining! Each has its pros and cons! I don't know what kind of bookcase the shopkeeper will give my brother! The three of them decided not to buy the bookcase for the time being, but to read it later! If you want to buy, you can also buy a bamboo, the price is acceptable! Yuyue was still thinking, the craftsman in this town is not bad, so go and order one! The question of time is not considered for the time being!

Speaking of rain, I had no choice but to buy an oil-paper umbrella, Wen, I have to go to school, so what if my books get wet! After this calculation, there are a lot of miscellaneous things, the three of them try to save as much as possible! But there is no way! The house is empty, there is nothing! I have to buy another oil lamp. When writing at night, I need to light at least two lamps to get enough light!

There must be a desk for writing. Writing is a big deal, and you must not write on the kang table! Auntie knows this common sense, you need a set of desks and chairs! The three thought about it, so they had to give up buying a new one! Just one desk, one or two, it's still ordinary, small and narrow! No matter how you look at it, it is not practical! Add a chair, about one or two dollars!

The three of them turned around and went to "Jiang Ji Grocery Store" No way, this broken house is worth tens of millions! If you really want to buy furniture, it is not a matter of a few taels of silver! Not to mention there is still food to buy!

Shopkeeper Jiang still remembered these three people, and they were naturally easy to talk to when they met. The price was the best, and the three of them chose (in fact, the only one) a large strip desk! As long as 300 Wen, such a big price gap, it is my aunt who is saving, and I am starting to figure it out! There is no place to put these clothes, anyway, these things have to be moved by bullock carts! Plus shopkeeper Jiang can say:

"This is also your family's good luck, and it's also rare to meet. This is a set of furniture, and it doesn't look messy when you put it at home! Besides, it's really rare to use it as furniture!"

The three of them thought that they would buy it sooner or later, and the price was reasonable, so they naturally bought two kang cabinets for storing clothes and stacking quilts, which is a must! Next is the dining table, I bought a square table and four small high square stools! (One of them is going to be used in front of the desk) Preliminary calculations, this house is almost complete! The old furniture wasn't worth much, and shopkeeper Jiang deliberately helped him, so he took all the money away! This amount of furniture is not more than a few hundred dollars more than a new desk, and the three of them feel that they have picked up a big deal! Coming out with five taels of silver in his arms, he felt like a local tyrant!

I invited a bullock cart and moved them all up. The shopkeeper Jiang persuaded me to buy a cupboard, which only cost 0.00 yuan.

Yuyue also felt it was necessary! Food hygiene is the primary concern after all! It's a pity that shopkeeper Jiang doesn't have second-hand book cases to buy! It can be seen how precious this book is!

In the porcelain shop on the right, I spent 40 renminbi to buy three large pots of coarse porcelain for making sauerkraut, and two open rice jars for storing grain, which are essential. They are dust-proof, waterproof and rat-proof ! The ox cart was so full that there was no room for three people. The three of them agreed that they would be escorted home by their aunt. Yuyue and her elder brother were going to take a stroll, picked up the bookcase, and walked back!

My aunt took the ox cart and left! Brother and sister went shopping and just looked at the vegetable market to check the prices! In the end, the two bought a catty of salt! Five catties of inferior rice! 50 texts were spent! This cornmeal is seriously enough! The two finally decided to improve the food! Naturally, a pig needs to be hanged in the water. (This is a good thing. I built a house at home, all because it strengthened my uncles! In the past few months, I also rely on it to add some meat to the stomachs of the three of them!)

The two of them thought about it, and cut another piece of pork belly. This is a big event to prepare for their brother's study, let's celebrate! Put it all in the back basket, and I sincerely say that I will go home after memorizing it!

The two walked to the door of "Yipinxian", and saw that the shopkeeper Zeng was holding a piece of cloth and packing a bookcase in person! The two came forward to say hello, and after a closer look, this book box is really good. This is a book box that is probably 80% new. The key is that its structure is relatively good. It is not just a simple box. It is as big as a modern double-backed schoolbag (backed by junior high school students), with books on one layer and inkstones, ink sticks, and pens on the other layer, which are directly hung on the door of the box! There is also a layer of felt pads! On the bottom floor, there is still a larger space that is empty! Seeing that Yuyue couldn't help giving a thumbs up to the wisdom of the ancients! This is really thoughtful!

"Uncle shopkeeper, what are you putting here?"

"Here, you can put food, put carbon in winter, and put clothes, shoes and so on!"

"What's the use of putting these?" Yuyue was a little puzzled!

"Little girl, you are really serious. Going to study here is a brain-intensive thing. You must pay attention to it! Besides, the teacher doesn't like rainy days, shoes and other dirty things. So you have to prepare dry clothes and everything! In winter, it’s freezing and the ink is frozen, so you can’t bake it in an oven, so you should also prepare this charcoal!”

"Oh! There are so many details?"

"No! What do you think! Come on, Yan Wazi, take these books and use them. You can't understand them now, so they should be useful after the enlightenment class!"

"Laozi", "Book of Filial Piety", "Mencius", "Book of Songs", "The Analects of Confucius".

Jin Yan really couldn't understand it, but an illiterate man could understand it, thanks to the fact that it was written in block letters! Know that these are all good books! Accept it with a smile!

"Thank you uncle shopkeeper!" Jin Yan's eyes were red, holding back tears, thank you!

"Thank you, it's just an old book. After my son went to Beijing, he left it behind. You can use it, and it's worth the money! Read it carefully! Uncle takes good care of you!"

Carrying the book box on their backs, the brothers and sisters set foot on the way home! The mood can only be described as excited!

Back home, my aunt was at the well, fetching water and scrubbing the old furniture. Yuyue thought it was a very smart way. The two brothers and sisters helped and finished it in a while. The sun is very good. It looks like, let's dry it , the water vapor will dry up, and it can be regarded as drying bacteria! Disinfect!

I made the rice and ate it. Today I ate stir-fried pork belly with rice, and cooked a wild shepherd's purse soup with the oil from the fried pork belly! This corn and rice mixed with hand-made rice is much more delicious than clean corn rice! Not very choking throat! The three of them were well fed! Happiness, looking at the furniture in the yard! All three of them laughed from ear to ear!

After clearing away the dishes and chopsticks, it was getting dark. Yuyue opened the yard door and brought in the ducks and geese. These little things were already very big, as if they looked like half-sized ducks. They knew the house and came back by themselves. ! When you come back, you will knock on the door with a hard-mouthed shell! Don't worry, in the small river ditch, you will be full! No more feeding at home!
