Chapter 25 Let’s raise it!

In the end, the waiter gave Liu Yue two extra turns of needlework, and enthusiastically held the cloth on the ox cart and coded it.

Liu Yue was still a little dazed when she looked at the truckload of goods. Who would have thought that the powerful regent who would fight with Confucian scholars in the future would now use all his debating talents to bargain for prices?

But don’t use it in vain! The savings are real money!

Liu Yue smiled and patted Shen Qingyan on the shoulder: "I'll trouble you next too!"

With Shen Qingyan's help, Liu Yue bought all the red candles, 囍 character paper-cuts, wedding candies and wine that she would use in the future at a low price.

Wine is brewed from grain and was considered a luxury item in ancient times. Shen Qingyan originally did not intend to buy it. After all, he expected this wedding banquet to recoup the gifts he had given away. If he bought wine, he would have to pay for it.

But Liu Yue had never tasted ancient wine before, and she was greedy. After talking for a long time, Shen Qingyan reluctantly agreed to buy a small pot of wine.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yue bought a brand new set of silver needles for Shen Yixiu, so that he could learn acupuncture points and acupuncture in a medical clinic. He also bought a new set of Four Treasures of the Study for Shen Jingcheng as a meeting gift, and bought them for Shen Ling'an and herself. There were many beads and hairbands. As for Shen Qingyan, no matter what Liu Yue chose, the other party said he didn't need it. Finally, Liu Yue remembered that the day she wore it was Shen Qingyan's sixteenth birthday, so she bought a jade hairpin for him. He has a crown of hair.

In the village, a man is considered an adult at age 16 and needs to have his hair crowned.

This time Shen Qingyan did not refuse.

While shopping, she passed by a restaurant. Liu Yue wanted to turn in and invite the kids in for a nice meal, but the four of them refused to do so no matter how much they tried to persuade them. Liu Yue had no choice but to treat them to some wontons from the stall. Fifteen articles One bowl was quite filling. Five people were quite satisfied.

Liu Yue relied on Shen Qingyan's bargaining skills and wanted to buy some toys for the kids, but was forcibly held back by the four kids. Even Shen Lingan, who had always been ambitious, felt that her sister-in-law spent too much money. After a lot, I persuaded: "Sister-in-law, we really don't lack anything!"

Liu Yue had no choice but to interrupt her shopping plan with tears in her eyes.

After finally suppressing Liu Yue's desire to shop, Shen Qingyan thought he could finally go home this time.

Liu Yue said, "We are going to the place where we buy livestock."

Shen Ling'an asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, what do you want to buy?"

Liu Yue smiled and patted the butt of Lao Tou Li's cow: "When you buy a cow, you can't borrow someone else's car every time, right?"

You must know that there are many people who ask Lao Li Tou to borrow an oxcart every day. Lao Li Tou usually pays 150 Wen. This time he was able to rent it to Shen Qingyan at a low price because of his close relationship with the Shen family, and Liu Yue’s autumn harvest time. I sent a lot of sweet soup and tea every day. But if you can use a favor once and borrow it at a low price every time, it would be a bit unreasonable, right?

There are more than a dozen people in Lao Li's family, and this oxcart is their main source of income!

Furthermore, Liu Yue would have to go to the city every day if she wanted to do business, so it would be more convenient to have a car.

This cow's temperament and endurance are really good. I walked with them for four or five hours without feeling tired at all. If I feed them some grass cut on the edge of the field, I will be happy for a long time! It costs very little fuel. Make Liu Yue cry.

The price/performance ratio is so high, you must have it!

Shen Qingyan was puzzled: "What are you buying a cow for?"

They only go into the city twice a month to deliver food and clothing to Shen Yixiu and Shen Jingcheng. He usually walks, and there are not many opportunities to use an ox cart.

After all, Liu Yue still had to rely on Shen Qingyan to bargain, so she explained without any impatience: "I want to go to the city to do business in the future. I can't walk this way, so it would be more convenient to have an ox cart!"

However, since all the businesses Liu Yue currently arranged have been declared bankrupt, she is not confident enough to say so.

Shen Qingyan could see Liu Yue's guilty conscience at a glance, and asked sharply: "What kind of business does Miss Liu want to do?"

Liu Yue didn't think clearly now and tried to pass the test by being cute: "I'll give you a surprise when I'm ready!"

Shen Qingyan thought about it for a while, and bought the cow head not only for traveling, but also for plowing in the spring. When they finish plowing, they can rent it to others for plowing. In other seasons, they can also be used to pull people, transport goods, and make more money.

, you must know that currently only Lao Li Tou and Li Zheng's family own ox carts in Yuhe Village. There are so many people renting them every day that they can't wait for them. He doesn't have to worry about running out of business. In addition, cattle are an important productivity and will not depreciate in value.

, the price when buying and selling will not differ much, and overall it is a good deal.

Therefore, although Liu Yue did not say what the specific business was, Shen Qingyan convinced himself.

The group of people drove to the horse market again.

It is said to be a horse market, but in fact, all kinds of livestock can be bought here. There are cattle, donkeys, mules, horses, sheep, chickens, ducks, dogs, etc. for sale in more than a dozen sheds.

Liu Yue was originally determined to buy cattle, but after hearing the dealer's introduction, she began to hesitate.

Donkeys are smaller and faster, but have less endurance than cattle.

Mules are divided into horse mules and donkey mules, both of which are the offspring of horses and donkeys. The former is born from a female horse. It is relatively tall, runs fast and has great strength, but has a bad temper and eats a lot. The latter is born from a female donkey.

It has a small appetite, strong endurance, docile personality, a slightly slower speed, but a longer lifespan.

As for the horse, it is a noun for being strong and as fast as thunder. It is almost perfect, but it is too expensive and difficult to raise.

After this turn, the cow looks very unattractive.

Liu Yue is mainly torn between donkeys and mules and horses and mules.

In the end, Shen Qingyan took notice and chose the donkey and mule with a gentler personality.

The dealer's quote was fifteen taels, but Shen Qingyan lowered it to twelve taels. Liu Yue was about to take out the money to pay, but was interrupted by Shen Ling'an's exclamation.

"This puppy is dying."

Shen Qingyan was negotiating the price just now, but Shen Ling'an felt bored, so she led her two brothers around the horse market, and then found the dying puppy in the shed in the corner.

Liu Yue looked in the direction of Shen Ling'an's voice and found that the three of them were squatting in front of a shed, observing something.

Liu Yue and Shen Qingyan walked over and found that the three of them were surrounding a weak puppy. Shen Yixiu even reached out to sniff the puppy's snout.

The puppy looked less than a month old, its eyes hadn't been opened, and it was lying on the haystack, panting weakly.

The dealer came over and explained: "This dog suddenly appeared at our place two days ago. I don't know which female dog left him here and ran away. I also found a female dog to feed him, but I don't know what happened to him."

No dog dared to get close to him. I even tried feeding him some goat milk, but he couldn’t drink it. He was hungry for two days and felt like he couldn’t survive.”

Shen Yixiu also checked the puppy's condition, shook his head and said, "He's almost out of breath."

However, Shen Ling'an seemed not to have heard what the dealer and the third brother said, and carefully touched the puppy's head and murmured: "Don't you have parents? Then can I take care of you?"

Shen Yixiu's nose felt sore when he heard these words. He knelt down and whispered softly: "Ling'an, it can't survive. Can we go?"

Shen Ling'an stubbornly shook her head.

Liu Yue looked at Ling'an and the puppy, and inexplicably remembered herself as a child. At that time, her father and stepmother had just gotten married, and her stepmother always beat her whenever something went wrong. She was young, and she didn't even dare to cry when she was beaten. , otherwise she would get a more vicious beating. She was threatened by her stepmother and did not dare to tell her father, so she always cowered in a corner timidly. As time went by, her father disliked her gloominess and disliked her even more. Later, she went out with her parents one time. While shopping for groceries, she saw a less than a month old kitten in the grass. It seemed to have been abandoned by the mother cat. It was lying on the ground and meowing weakly. She didn't know what to do at the time. She wanted to pick up the kitten but failed. She was afraid of hurting it, so she hesitated for a long time before she mustered up the courage to ask her father if she could raise it. She responded with a sneer from her stepmother and an impatient scolding from her father. She was finally dragged away by her father. When she was dragged away Liu Yue looked back at the kitten many times, feeling as pitiful and miserable as it.

Later, Liu Yue earned a lot of money and rescued many stray animals, but she could never forget that kitten at that time. I don’t know what happened to it later. Did she meet “Aunt Zhang” who redeemed her like she did? Today, Liu Yue still clearly remembers herself at that time, remembering her weakness and helplessness.

She didn't want Ling An to have such a "kitten" in her childhood.

Liu Yue said softly: "Let's raise it!"

Hehe, this is a two-way redemption story!!! Liu Yue’s life experience has been revealed.
