Chapter 42 Xiaoxi Village

"Shall we go straight back?"

When Bai Fu got into the donkey cart, Bagh immediately asked.

"No"

Bai Fu thought for a while and said, "Go to the livestock market first."

"Sit down"

Bagh didn't ask any more questions, and urged the donkey to leave with a whip.

Now that Xiaoliang needs to be picked up and dropped off every day when he goes to college, renting a donkey cart is not a long-term solution, and he still needs to buy a means of transportation by himself. Thinking of this, Bai Fuxing hurried to the livestock market.

The livestock market is located on the west side of Bailu Town, not far from the west gate. It is the only way to enter and leave the city. It is easy to find. Bager can easily find it without looking at a map.

The two rushed into the market excitedly, but they were a little surprised.

Bai Fu still thinks about buying a horse if the price is right. We are talents who have driven all kinds of cars, so we have to be chic and reckless when we come to ancient times.

Unexpectedly, after turning around, I realized that horses are extremely difficult to buy these days. It can be said that there is no market for the price, and the main means of transportation are only cattle and donkeys.

Moreover, a cow with better quality needs twelve guan, and a donkey needs [-] guan.
"Cows are suitable for plowing land and pulling goods, and donkeys are suitable for carrying people on long distances. Little brother, I have good goods here. If you don't believe me, I will ask my buddy to give you a drill."

The boss was eager to sell, and as soon as the words fell, a buddy came over with a cow and a donkey, demonstrating and selling hard.

Bai Fu has his eye on a donkey, while Bage has his eye on a cow.

"In the future, if we want to farm, cattle will be more useful."

Bug watched carefully around a cow, and signaled Bai Fu not to make a move to let him come.

"This big brother has a vision. If it's farming, it's better to use cattle." Seeing that the two were hesitating, the man followed Bagh's words and just wanted to make the deal as soon as possible.

Bai Fu still shook his head.

"Cows can be rented in the village. Donkey carts are more practical for commuting to and from school every day."

Bagh hesitated for a moment. I really didn't see anyone sending the young master to school in an ox cart at the gate of the college today.

Can.
Bug touched the money bag, "We don't have much money, so save as much as you can, the little patriarch won't mind."

They were so far away before, didn't they also use bullock carts to walk step by step.

"You do not understand"

Bai Fu smiled, and waved his hand to signal Bagh to stop arguing.

Seeing that Bai Fu had already made up his mind, Barger didn't want to say any more, so he took out his money bag and went to pay the clerk.

"Okay, big brother, go this way to pay." It turned out to be a big order, and the clerk smiled and led the way swiftly.

Bai Fu stayed to inspect the goods, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the donkey looked very energetic, tall and mighty, "It should be dressed up to look like a horse, and the ears should be longer."

Today, there are either sedan chairs or carriages at the gate of the college. The worst thing is this kind of donkey that looks like a horse. The ox cart is really. This scene reminded her of all kinds of private cars that lined up at the gate of modern schools.

Well, for Xiao Liang's sake, she paid for this fat man.

But it's not all because of vanity, there is a donkey shed between Tang's shop and hers, and I told Shopkeeper Mi that we should be able to help take care of it together, which will save trouble.

He made an appointment with the vendor for the delivery location, and Bai Fu saw that it was still early, so he and Bage went to Xiaoxi Village, which is the nearest to Shimu Land.

This is a village with only a few dozen families, and the houses are sparse, mostly thatched huts.

There was a big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. When the two arrived, there were several half-grown children playing under the tree. When they saw someone coming, they stopped playing and looked over curiously.

"Where is the village chief's house?" Bagh asked loudly.

The children seemed not expecting to be questioned suddenly, they were startled, and hurriedly hid behind the tree. Only one child stepped forward hesitantly, "What can you do with the village chief?"

"We have something to discuss with the village chief." Bai Fu replied with a smile.

"Village Chief Grandpa Village Chief Grandpa"

The half-grown child named Xiao Si'er rushed into a yard like a monkey, "A nobleman is looking for you!"

After shouting, he smiled flatteringly at Bai Fu, and Bai Fu took out a few pieces of snacks to express his gratitude, Xiao Si'er grinned and took them into his arms, and when he heard someone in the room respond, he said to Bai Fu:

"Gentlemen, go in, I'm here to help you take care of the donkey cart, don't worry."

This kid is a genius.

This thought flashed through Bai Fu's mind, and he couldn't help but look around a few more times, but at the age of twelve or thirteen, his eyesight is ten percent.

Hearing the shout, a man in his 50s and [-]s with a wrinkled face came out of the back room with a hunched waist, and looked up at the group of people.

A young man in white with a face as white as jade, a strong man from the Western Regions with thick eyebrows and big eyes, this is...
"What do you two want me to do?" the village chief asked after saluting cautiously.

Bai Fu returned the gift and directly explained the purpose of his visit.

"Grandpa, the village chief, I just bought the land at the foot of Detian Temple Mountain. I plan to plant something. I need to hire a few people to clear the land."

As soon as the words were finished, before the village chief made a statement, a man in his early twenties suddenly came out of the house, looking at them with small eyes.

"Where did you buy it?" He suddenly asked in a loud voice.

Bai Fu frowned. He didn't like this man's tone and attitude, so he ignored him and looked back at the village chief.

"We need six or seven quick and diligent workers. They are billed on a daily basis, with [-] cents a day. I will hire them for a long time if I use them well. I would like to ask the village chief to recommend some people from the village for me."

she said quickly.

Hire someone?

The village head immediately showed joy, and turned his head to stare at the man with the loud voice, and waited for the man to leave with a cold face, then he turned around and said yes, and immediately waved Xiao Si to go to the village to call for him.

Xiao Si'er didn't move, his eyes turned towards Bai Fu.

"Your Majesty, can you see me?" He patted his small chest, "You don't think I'm young, but I'm strong, and I'm worth two."

Bai Fu looked at his small body so thin that the bones could be seen and the dark yellow skin on his face caused by long-term malnutrition. He didn't answer, but he didn't refuse.

This child is at most 13 years old, a proper child laborer, not yet young and strong, this...
"My lord, can I do it? My father broke his leg while hunting and the family is almost out of control. I am the only man in the family. My mother said that the family will rely on me from now on."

Seeing that Bai Fu didn't answer, Xiao Si'er suddenly looked up at Bai Fu with a begging face, his dark eyes were full of urgency.

Seeing this, the village chief also tried to help.

"Yes, nobleman, Xiao Si'er's family has indeed been in difficulty recently, and he is struggling." The village chief's face flashed with embarrassment, and his tone was slightly hesitant, "It is possible to farm the land."

Little Four stared.

The village head's grandpa said it right, it's better not to say it!

As if to prove his strength, Xiao Si'er gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves, looked left and right, strode to the well to fetch a bucket of water, and then walked towards Bai with one hand .

"Look, son, it doesn't take much effort at all!"

He proudly said, "My father is the most powerful hunter in the village. My mother said that I will definitely be even stronger than my father in the future!"

Bai Fu looked away from his bent right side.

"Apart from your strength, what special skills do you have?" She asked.

Xiao Si'er was taken aback for a moment, not sure what the other party meant, so he scratched his head and thought about it.

"I can run fast, I can drive cars" he paused, "I can swim, I can fight, I can-"

"Can you cook?" Bai Fu interrupted him and asked.

Xiao Si'er's eyes lit up, "I can't, but my sister can cook, and the food they cook is delicious!"

"Then call your sister to me to have a look," Bai Fu said with a smile.

Xiao Si'er kept saying yes, but as if Bai Fu would change his mind later, he ran out of the yard in a hurry.
