The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 33
Thinking about going out to do business, An Xu got up from the bed at five o'clock. Some preparations were done last night. Put the rice cakes on the stove and you can go out.

An Chong held the brown sugar that was made yesterday in his arms, and followed An Xu, intending to go to the county with her.

Before going out, An Xu went to the side of the thatched cottage, and said to Zong Che who didn't know if he had woken up inside: "There are leftover cakes for you in the pot, and you will warm them up later."

Zong Che had already woken up, and he agreed inside. He heard the sound of footsteps walking away, and the sound of closing the door, he immediately got down with the crutch placed beside the bed.

Lifting the lid of the pot, by the dim skylight outside, I saw a bowl on the grate, and the sweetness of the essence was not enough to hit the nose.

Reaching out to pick up the bowl, Zong Che wanted to eat it now, but felt like he was stealing it for a moment, so he quickly put the bowl back after looking at it.

cough cough.

Zong Che clenched his fist and put it to his lips, and then went back to the room on crutches. Because his family was poor and there was no light in the room, he sat by the bed and read silently for half an hour before it was daylight before he took out the book to read.

At this time, An Xu and An Chong had already taken Fang Bo's carriage and were about to walk to the county seat.

It is impossible for An Xu to push the small cart to the county, so he went to Fang Bo's house the night before and asked if he could charter a car.

When the autumn tax was just paid, there were more people going to the city every day, but now no one went to the county town for several days, so as long as no one went to the county town, Fang Bo would not go to the county specifically.

It's where the villagers go the farthest, and where he goes.

An Xu wanted to charter a car, so he naturally agreed, but as an elder, he asked a few more questions, and when he learned that the child was going to the county town to do business, he immediately gave some advice.

Because he had chartered a car, Uncle Fang didn't stop all the way, so he was not far from the county seat just after dawn.

An Xu sat in the car and supported his small cart. When walking on the spacious and flat road, he took out dry food and water, gave some to Fang Bo, and An Chong and An Chong just filled their stomachs.

Seeing that they are about to enter the city and want to catch up with the first wave of guests in the morning, it is time to start the fire.

Fang Bo drove the car very carefully, An Xu asked An Chong to support the car, took out the newly bought flint, and lit the fire in the stove smoothly.

When we arrived at the city gate, steam was rising from the bamboo cage.

To pull a small trolley, Fang Bo specially bought a four-opening scooter. He saw how she lit the fire and cooked the pot along the way. This will also heat the pot."

An Xu smiled and said, "When I made it, I already considered the problem of burning fire while walking."

While talking, they also merged into the crowd entering the city.

An Chong followed behind An Xu, and said to her, "I'll go to the grocery store after entering the city to see if I can cash it to the store at once."

The brown sugar in his arms weighs about ten catties. If he can sell it for tens of pennies, he can find a cheap house with her and rent it out.

To do business in the future, going back and forth between the county town and the village every day is not an option at all.

An Xu didn't know what the young man was thinking, so he reminded: "Be careful, don't let people follow you."

She used to think that making brown sugar was very simple, but Zong Che and An Chong obviously didn't know it, so it is very likely that the current sugar industry is still in the hands of some big families.

So she didn't intend to let An Chong start a career with this at all, and it's okay to get some pocket money once in a while.

An Chong nodded: "I know."

"It's our time." Fang Bo reminded the brothers and sisters in front, and the two quickly followed.

The guard at the city gate was not the same as when An Xu entered the city last time. Before An Xu could breathe a sigh of relief, he noticed that the younger and thinner one of them was looking at her more.

An Xu's heart skipped a beat, and at the same time, she clearly realized that she had indeed offended some more powerful or rich person in the city.

Before this thought came to an end, the young and thin guard came forward, the red tasseled wooden gun in his hand almost touched the steamer, and asked, "What's in the pot?"

Seeing that An Xu didn't speak for a while, Fang Bo replied, "If you go back to the official, it's a pastry made of yellow rice."

That's what An Xu told Fang Bo on the way.

The man refused to let go, and said: "Open it and have a look."

An Xu immediately opened the lid of the pot this time, and immediately a sweet smell of red dates mixed with the unique fragrance of grain permeated the slightly cold mist in the morning.

No matter those who have just entered the city or those who have not entered the city, they all looked over at this moment, and many people swallowed unconsciously.

Those who stood at the gate of the city at this time hadn't woken up early in the morning with an empty stomach and rushed on their way. Even if they ate something, it was nothing more than cold dry food.

They all thought that they would ask the little girl about the price later, and if it was not expensive, they would buy some.

The thin city guard also swallowed, but immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you bring here?"

An Chong frowned, is this person deliberately finding fault?

"Cut it open and have a look." Chengwei said.

Although the other city guard beside him also frowned, he didn't say anything.

At this time, I heard the little girl say, "Why?"

"If you tell you to cut it, just cut it, why do you say?" The one next to him was also annoyed, and he took a step forward to drink.

An Xu had already calculated the gains and losses quickly in his mind just now. There is a person who can bribe the city gate guards in the county, and doing this business in the capital may not be better than not getting in.

Put the lid back on, "I'm sorry, I'm eating this, so it won't be easy to sell if I cut it open. I won't enter this city gate."

"Whether you can enter or not, you have to cut everything," said the man who spoke later with a serious face, it seems that he does not allow the majesty of the city gate guard to be offended.

When Fang Bo saw that something was wrong, he hurried forward and grabbed the man, took out a bunch of money behind his back and stuffed it into the other party's hand, and said nicely, "Don't mind, my girl has a straight temper. You take the money Here, drink tea."

Seeing that people's expressions improved, Fang Bo said cautiously: "I just don't know, why is it so difficult for us to enter the city?"

The man snorted, but didn't open his mouth. Seeing that Fang Bo took out another string of money and wanted to pass it on, the man confiscated it and said, "I don't care about this little money. Your girl really needs to take good care of it. Isn’t it common for people to be so disrespectful to us?”

Fang Bo smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, please remind me."

This person also couldn't understand the behavior of the county government. He looked back and saw that the thin man was still scolding the girl, and said in a low voice: "I don't know which one you offended, but there have been two rounds of this incident. People came over to send them away. The first time they came was a servant from the county government. Another one came the day before yesterday. It's called Baidu. It is said that he is the uncle of the third daughter of the county magistrate. Half of us guarding the city gate have accepted him. Money. The other party is still holding a portrait, which belongs to your girl. Not to mention the one who collected the money, even I, who did not collect the money, dare not let her in easily. "

Fang Bo frowned deeply, thanked him again and again, walked back, and said a lot of good things to the skinny man.
