Chapter 43 Three Carriages
Xiao Lan put the bamboo basket on the ground, opened it and took out things. When he saw the lush green vegetables that Xiao Lan took out, Shopkeeper Gu was extremely happy.
"Xiao Lan, do you sell these vegetables? They look juicier than those at the stalls outside!"
"Does Shopkeeper Gu also need vegetables?"
"You need as much as you need. This year's weather is bad. Vegetables are scarce and extremely expensive. Shaodong's family also has several restaurants open in other places. In addition to meat, vegetables are also in short supply."
Shopkeeper Gu didn’t want to kill a sheep and was trying hard to pluck the wool, but Xiao Lan kept bringing surprises to Shopkeeper Gu, so he decided that Xiao Lan was the one.
"But I need a lot of vegetable seeds!"
"I can solve this. The young master also has a big trading company. If you want any seeds, write them down and I will arrange for someone to find them and bring them to you."
"That's okay!" Seeing Xiao Lan's readily agreed, Shopkeeper Gu cheered in his heart, he made the right bet!
Sister-in-law Li and Dalin wiped their sweat secretly. Green vegetables are not so easy to cultivate.
This year there is a drought and there is an insect infestation. The crops and vegetables are all wilting. Not to mention that it is autumn and there is no harvest. No matter how many vegetable seeds there are, what is the use?
However, seeing that Xiao Lan was not worried at all, they felt inexplicably calm.
Shopkeeper Gu ordered the cook to prepare a table of food and asked Xiao Lan to take it away.
The hare, the badger, the silly roe deer, and the boss of the valley were all weighed one by one. Xiao Lan put all the money he earned into the bamboo basket, and in fact, all the money was transported to the space by Xiao Lan.
Sister-in-law Li and Dalin were shocked when they saw so much money, and Xiao Lan just said, "Go back and share it!"
I just made a trip and still got some money? Because shopkeeper Gu was there, Sister-in-law Li didn't say anything, so she couldn't ask for it when she got back.
Xiao Lan asked Shopkeeper Gu where he could rent some ox carts or horse carriages. When he learned that Xiao Lan was going to build a house, Shopkeeper Gu directly lent Xiao Lan three carriages in the store.
Because the young master’s family just sent word that they would do everything possible to make good friends with Xiao Lan.
Given this good opportunity, of course he would not let it go, and asked Xiao Lan if he was short of manpower. Xiao Lan said that the villagers would help build the house, and only three cars were needed.
Sister-in-law Li and Dalin were drinking tea and eating snacks, listening to the conversation between Xiao Lan and Shopkeeper Gu with shocked faces.
The seeds that Xiao Lan wanted were all explained clearly to Shopkeeper Gu. Even though Shopkeeper Gu was well-informed, he had never heard of some of the seeds that Xiao Lan asked about. Then he recorded them in detail based on Xiao Lan's explanation.
Come down.
Xiao Lan also talked about the supply of vegetables and meat that she could provide. If she came to Furong Town every day, Xiao Lan didn't have so much time. She also had to exercise with Zaizai in the morning. Shopkeeper Gu said that he could arrange for someone to go to Li
Picking it up in Jiancun would solve the distance problem and Xiao Lan would not have to travel in both directions.
This method can not only make money, but also save time and effort, and you can also play with your baby at home, so why not do it?
When the food was ready, Shopkeeper Gu asked people to pack it up for Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan took out the two snakes from the bottom of the bamboo basket. She had already taken away the snake gallbladder, and the snake meat was very nourishing. She and Zaizai were not suitable to eat it, so
Gave it to Shopkeeper Gu.
When Shopkeeper Gu saw the two venomous snakes as thick as his arms, he immediately jumped on the chair. He was afraid of such soft and cold things.
At this time, his young master Ji Heng and the elegant scholar Shen Zhisheng appeared and rescued him.
When Shen Zhisheng saw the two venomous snakes, he secretly said happily, "This is really a blessing." Then he picked them up and took them to the backyard for disposal.
Ji Heng glanced at Shopkeeper Gu and said with a smile, "How come I didn't know that Shopkeeper Gu is nearly fifty years old and his legs and feet are still so flexible."
Shopkeeper Gu cried and laughed, "Young master, please stop teasing me. I was bitten by a snake when I was a child. It has been decades, and I am still scared to death when I see such a thing!"
Xiao Lan was shocked. She would not have taken it out if she had known it earlier. Look how scared Shopkeeper Gu was.
The game and wild vegetables Xiao Lan brought were sold for a total of 1,150 taels.
The most valuable ones are the white tiger, the two thick-armed snakes and the three fish that were added to Boss Gu's head.
Shopkeeper Gu was very happy. A whole table of dishes cooked by the chef of Furong Town Restaurant was placed in three-layer food boxes. Five food boxes were put in them and placed in three carriages. He followed Xiao Lan back.
Lijia Village.
Sister-in-law Li and Dalin sat in the carriage of the carriage in shock, touching here and there with astonishment, as if they were in a dream in the clouds.
I didn't expect to be able to ride in such a high-end and elegant carriage. There was a soft quilt under my buttocks and I didn't feel any bumps at all.
"How is it? Is the carriage comfortable?"
"It's so comfortable and so energetic that I want to lie down and take a nap." After a long morning journey, Sister-in-law Li looked a little tired.
"Then go to sleep. I'll call you when I get back."
"Yes." Sister-in-law Li lay down relaxedly, and soon she remembered her slight snoring.
Dalin opened the curtains and looked at the fading scenery outside, dizzy.
"Da Lin, would you like to take a rest too?"
"Aunt Xiao, I'm not tired. It's my first time riding a carriage. It's so refreshing. The vegetation outside is so beautiful."
"Let's also buy a carriage so that we don't have to walk when we come to Furong Town."
"But a carriage costs two hundred taels. My master has processed carriages for a car dealer. He saw with his own eyes the owner of the car shop and the customer. The cost of the horse has not been added yet. He has to see which one he chooses.
What horse?"
"Then we can afford it." Xiao Lan just received more than a thousand taels of silver, so it would be more convenient to buy a carriage!
Dalin stopped talking. He didn't know if his mother would blame him for talking too much when she woke up. He said casually that Aunt Xiao would spend money again.
Three carriages passed by the entrance of Lijia Village in a mighty manner. Before they reached the entrance of the village, they were spotted by a few sharp-eyed people.
"When did a big shot appear in our Lijia Village? Three carriages came!"
"No, I haven't heard of anyone's baby becoming successful!"
"I haven't heard of it either, how about we go over and ask?"
"Let's go together and see which one we are going to?"
Several people looked at the approaching carriage and stepped forward to meet it.
"May I ask where you are going to visit relatives?"
A woman spoke first.
The driver outside the carriage stopped the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage, Xiao Lan stepped out of the carriage and jumped to the ground.
"Xiao Lan? Why is it you?" The woman's voice changed, but she still asked the question in her heart.
"Sister-in-law Li Jiang, why isn't it me? Am I not standing right in front of you?"
Xiao Lan smiled and said, some people just can't see others living a better life than her. Most people in Lijia Village are kind-hearted, but a very small number of people still have this kind of mentality.
Xiao Lan entered the village and went to the old village chief to inform the people who were helping to build the house to meet at her house.
Then, under the attention of many people with envy, jealousy, hatred, etc., Xiao Lan got on the carriage and went to Sister-in-law Li's house to pick up Zai Zai and take her home.
When Zai Zai saw the tall horse, he was curious and wanted to touch it. Xiao Lan held Zai Zai and jumped into the air.
"Wow, mother, I touched it, it's so beautiful and mighty!"
