Chapter 120 New County
Liu Jiangbei and Lu Dingyuan happily exchanged knowledge in the book along the way. Liu Qingcao sat on the bullock cart and listened quietly to their discussion.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the peas in the field grew into big seedlings.

In the hundred private schools, the sound of reading aloud can be heard day by day, high-pitched and loud.

In the Jiang family's house in Shihe Village, Liu Qingcao was sitting in the lobby, discussing the deal with Jiang Dafu.

"Brother Jiang, the peas in the field have grown up in the past few days, and they can be picked for cooking or bought."

"Green grass, this is for food, you can't pinch it." Jiang Dafu turned pale after hearing this, and quickly refused.

This kind of crops are planted, not vegetable seedlings, and if they are pinched, it will affect the harvest. If they are pinched and sold, the price will be high, but fortunately, the price is not high, then it will be a disaster for food.

Liu Qingcao knew what Jiang Dafu meant and quickly explained.

"Brother Jiang, pinch the pea shoots according to the sharp point and the dense one, it will not affect the harvest, and you can get a lot of money."

"I have already negotiated with the shopkeeper of Huibailou. A catty of pea tips costs [-] cents. One acre of land can pick up more than two taels of silver at a time. Before it blooms, you can pick it three times. Think about it, this pinching is worth money. You can get six or seven taels, and in April and May, you can still sell tender peas, which is another sum of money."

When Liu Qingcao spoke eloquently, Jiang Dafu was dumbfounded.

"Qingcao, what you said is true?" Jiang Dafu was afraid that he didn't hear clearly, so he opened his mouth to confirm again.

Liu Qingcao nodded with a smile.

Jiang Dafu was ecstatic!
What kind of fairy crop is this? One crop after another is earned.

If they had known about this pea earlier, their village would not have become an old poor household in Qianfeng Town...

It's a pity that I didn't know it earlier.

"Green grass, can Hui Bailou eat it? After all, there are so many pea fields in every household. If you pinch them all at once, they will be wasted if you can't finish them."

Thinking of this, Jiang Dafu asked immediately.

Liu Qingcao was stunned for a moment, she really missed this point.

"Brother Jiang, why don't you ask the villagers to take some of them to Huibailou first, and some of them to sell at the town market, where the price will be slightly higher.

In the early morning of tomorrow, I will go to the county with you to see if we can talk about a restaurant, so that all the pea tips in our village can be sold. "

Liu Qingcao propped her chin, thought for a while, and could only think of this way.

Jiang Dafu wished that all the villagers could earn money, so he agreed without any hesitation.

On the second day, Jiang Dafu and Liu Qingcao headed for the county seat in an ox cart with a large cart of peas.

It takes half a day from Shihe Village to Xin County.

Along the way, Liu Qingcao kept looking at everything around Xin County.

Xin County is probably richer than Qianfeng Town.

In Xin County, there are row upon row of novel high-rise buildings, the ground is flat and clean, the shop is spacious, the decoration is exquisite and classic, and the products in the shop are of high quality and full of patterns.

Passers-by on the street are dressed in brocade and satin, wearing gold and silver pearl hairpins, with fair skin and beautiful appearance, and their manners and speech are generous and dignified.

Liu Qingcao was so excited, she forgot what she was here for.

It was also the first time for Jiang Dafu to come to Xin County, seeing the completely different layout from Qianfeng Town, he was very excited.

"Brother Dafu, look, even the blue bricks in this place are flat, and there are those men and women whose clothes are worth a lot of money, but it is really a county town, which is different from our Qianfeng Town."

"Qingcao, the two of us, it seems a little weird to come in, you see, some people are secretly talking about us..."

Jiang Dafu pulled his clothes awkwardly, sat upright on the bullock cart, and whispered to Liu Qingcao.

Liu Qingcao laughed after hearing this, and the two of them are just turkeys entering the city now!
"It's okay, Brother Jiang, let's not steal or steal, do what we do, and don't feel inferior."

Liu Qingcao paused, and pointed to the door of a restaurant.

"Look, no matter how rich a place is, there are beggars. What does this mean? It means that this new county is only rich on the surface, and there are many poor people behind it."

Jiang Dafu looked in the direction of Liu Qingcao's finger, and saw that there were indeed a few beggars outside the door of the building, with ragged clothes, messy and knotted hair, holding a black and broken porcelain bowl, sitting or standing, etc. At the door, he handed the bowl to passers-by from time to time, saying something in his mouth.

"Qingcao, why don't they give some to these children?"

Jiang Dafu frowned and looked at those pedestrians, feeling puzzled.

If he had money, he would spend more or less to feed these beggars.

"Brother Jiang, people are different."

"And there are some people who just look beautiful, but behind their backs, maybe they are not as good as us."

Liu Qingcao shook her head and sighed.

In modern society, some people are glamorous on the surface, wearing tens of thousands of suits and ties, but behind their backs they eat bran and vegetables to pay off various loans. Their lives are not as good as the uncles and aunts on the construction site.

What's more, some rich people, the richer they are, the more they deduct, the more they look down on the poor, and they disdain to deal with them, the so-called lower class people, so it is normal not to give money.

Jiang Dafu nodded half-understood, Liu Qingcao didn't say any more about it, some things, if you haven't reached that level, it's useless to say anything!

"Brother Jiang, let's go to the tailor shop and buy a suitable dress."

Liu Qingcao looked at herself, then at Jiang Dafu, feeling that she should change her outfit.

Back then, I went to Shitianxia to sell potatoes, but because I was dressed poorly, I was kicked out by the waiter in the restaurant who saw people ordering dishes.

If she hadn't met someone like Ge Hongshan later, she might not be able to get up in a short time.

At the beginning, she was forced to, but now, she has this condition, so there is no need to add trouble to herself.

After hearing Liu Qingcao's words, Jiang Dafu touched the money bag subconsciously.

There is only one or two taels in his purse, and it is the emergency money his mother gave him, and it is less than one or two taels. If he wants to buy a set of ready-made clothes in the county town, he may not be able to buy them.

"Green grass, I don't need to buy it. This body is clean and has no patches. It was your sister-in-law who made it for me."

Jiang Dafu chuckled, concealing his embarrassment and embarrassment.

Liu Qingcao could see it clearly, but she didn't expose him.

"That's good too, Brother Jiang, you are similar to Uncle Niu, you can help him try later, he has been nagging me for a long time, let me take him back."

"That's it, that's okay, I'll try it in a while."

Jiang Dafu didn't think too much, and agreed without hesitation.

Liu Qingcao smiled, thinking that Jiang Dafu was really innocent.

The tailor shop, Liu Qingcao and Jiang Dafu walked in, the waiter of the shop looked them up and down, and stepped forward with a smile, without a trace of disdain on his face.

"What do you need, I will introduce you to you."

"Second brother, how much is this suit?"

Liu Qingcao looked around, and immediately fell in love with the pink and lotus-colored dress.

Xiao Er glanced at it, and with a smile, took off the dress.

"Can the guest officer talk about this?"

"Yes, little brother, can I take a look?" Liu Qingcao asked politely.

Xiao Er handed over the dress and said with a smile.

"Of course, you can buy it if you like it, and it doesn't matter if you don't like it."

Liu Qingcao thanked her, and took a look at the clothes in her hands. The high-quality silk cotton fabric is soft and skin-friendly, with good drape and excellent hand feeling.

"Second Brother, how much is this set?" Liu Qingcao liked this set very much, so she asked the starting price.

"Guest officer, this dress is made of high-quality silk and cotton, and the price is four or two or eight dollars."

Four twenty-eight dollars?

Liu Qingcao was slightly stunned for two seconds, then relieved.

"Okay, little brother, take a set of men's clothes, the same size as him."

"Okay." Xiao Er was happy in his heart, and quickly found a set of dark blue cotton and linen clothes.

"Guest officer, what do you think of this set?"

Liu Qingcao looked at the colored fabrics, then at Jiang Dafu, nodded with a smile.

"Okay, let's do it."

In the end, Liu Qingcao bought the two sets of clothes for ten taels of silver.
