Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 17 17 Big Purchase

The suet was bought, and the clothes were ordered. In addition to the cloth shop, Li Changhui also thoughtfully bought three bunches of candied haws for them.

Well, Lin He is also involved.

Lin He was the cook he bought, and she was said to be his daughter-in-law and the mother of the children.

But for Li Changhui himself, looking at Lin He, who is only 15 years old and looks like a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, is similar to looking at Li Yu.

Li Yu is a boy, although he eats rough food and wears bad clothes, he is still full every day. In addition, the Li family has Li Changhui's salary and subsidy, so the family is not short of money, Li Yu and Li Hao are naturally not as miserable as Lin He.

It can even be said that they are the very laid-back little kids. The most common thing to do in the village is tease cats and dogs, and they grow up very fast.

The 15-year-old Lin He is only a head taller than the seven-year-old Li Yu. In Li Changhui's eyes, isn't he just like a child?
So when he was buying candied haws, he bought a bunch of candied haws for Lin He, which was completely natural.

Of course, it's easier for Lin He to eat snacks.

It wasn't until there was only one candied haws left that he realized that many people on the street were staring at him with strange eyes.

baffling.

Lin He muttered in his heart, eat the last one, it's so delicious, sour and sweet.

Throw the bamboo stick on a small pile of rubbish by the side of the road, step on a stone, and hurt your feet.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Lin He's mind, and he turned around quickly: "By the way, Brother Hui, shoes! We still need to buy shoes!"

Her voice was not low, and many people around heard it, and they turned their heads to look at her, thinking that you are a little woman, what are you making such a fuss about.

Li Changhui kept walking: "I told the shopkeeper, when I was in Buzhuang just now, didn't Aunt Chen measure the size of the shoes?"

Huh?Have you measured it?
Lin He thought about it carefully, as if Li Changhui had indeed said something to Aunt Chen when she leaned over to read what Aunt Chen had written.

Only she didn't hear it.

Afterwards, she re-measured them, but she didn't care.

"The grocery store is here, don't you want to buy clay pots? See what size you want, and you can also ask for cotton seeds. There are few cotton seeds around us. If you want them, you can ask the shopkeeper to help you when you buy them outside."

Li Changhui signaled Lin He to follow.

As for the other two young ones, although they were running around on the street, they kept their eyes on their parents. Seeing Li Changhui walking towards the grocery store, they had already run back quickly.

"A few customers want to buy something, although the small shop is not big, but there are a lot of things, even if there is nothing in the store for the time being, you can go outside to collect it for the customers."

As soon as he entered the door, a young man greeted him quickly, with a big smile on his face, he waved his hand, and showed them the things in the store.

There are all the things you need for daily use, miscellaneous, and they are placed on various shelves.

Lin He glanced over, and there were many things that he didn't expect at first, but now he decided to buy them back.

There was a row of spices in the corner that she had only seen yesterday. She did not expect such a small shop to sell spices.

"Let me take a look first. Take this broom and you won't need a big broom. There is a large bundle of bamboo sticks behind the house, just bundle two."

As Lin He spoke, he picked out a broom made of sorghum spikes. It was for cleaning the house. The broom at home was already bald and couldn't be used.

The big broom is made of thin bamboo branches tied to a suitable wooden stick. After two days in the sun, the leaves fall off. It is very convenient to clean the yard.

"This earthenware pot is not bad. Use a small one and buy a bigger one for stew."

When I picked up the clay pot, I saw a dozen brightly colored shuttlecocks in the bamboo basket next to it, which were obviously made of pheasant feathers.

Lin He turned his head: "Brother Hui, can you catch live pheasants and hares? If you can catch them, we can try to raise them ourselves."

Lin He's eyes are bright, hunting is not a long-term solution, and he still has to do something else to make money.

"By the way, there are also chickens and piglets that I didn't see at the market today. When I go back, I will ask Li Changsheng. They have been living in the village and know a lot of people. Let your uncle help me find out."

For the sake of the pheasant last night, the uncle must not refuse.

Li Changhui handed over the broom and clay pot that Lin He had taken a fancy to to the young man guarding the store, and nodded, "Okay."

Seeing the opening, the young man had a smile on his face: "Pheasant and hare are not so easy to raise, they will die easily, so it's better to just sell them for money."

Lin He hasn't refuted yet, she has spiritual power and can definitely support her.

On the contrary, Li Changhui glanced at the young man: "If you die, you will die. If you don't try, how will you know if you can support yourself?"

With Li Changhui's faint glance, the young man smiled awkwardly, and went to the counter with his things stiffly in his arms, so that it would be convenient to check out later.

Afterwards, I also selected a few bamboo sieves, small shaukes, etc. It is best to replace all the old things at home.

Most of the men in the village know how to weave, women know how to sew, weave dustpans, and make clothes and shoes.

However, neither of their families know how to do it.

After turning around, I felt that there were almost all the things I wanted to buy, so I took them all to the counter at the door.

"Do you have cotton seeds in your store?"

The seeds of other grains and vegetables were distributed when the family was separated, and there was no need to buy them for the time being. Only she wanted to grow cotton on a whim, but she didn't have the seeds.

"Cotton? There are very few people growing cotton in Yonghe Town. If you want seeds, you have to go to the county town."

"The county seat, so it's gone?"

She doesn't even know where the county seat is.

Li Changhui asked him to settle the accounts: "Since there are some in the county, the boss can help bring some back. You can pay a deposit first, and I will pick it up in a few days."

"No problem, I just want to go to the county to buy goods tomorrow, about six days, and you will come and pick them up in six days."

After paying the bill, they put all the things into the basket, and they went straight to the grain farm. There was still a lot of grain at home, but what they wanted to buy was polished rice and refined flour.

Li An is still young and cannot eat brown rice, which is not easy to digest. He can only eat soft boiled rice porridge, or fried rice, ground into a fine powder, and rice paste brewed with boiling water.

I bought a few more eggs. Adults can still eat pheasant and rabbit meat, but Li An can't, but he is so big, he should eat something nutritious. Egg custard is a good choice.

"The eggs cost a penny, and they are not expensive. You can buy them directly in the village after you finish eating them. I just came to Xiang'an Village, and you haven't been in the village for ten years. The villagers are very strange to us. A little business can also bring us closer. Tell us about our relationship with the village."

When they raise their own chickens in the future and have eggs, they don't need to buy them.

Lin He explained to Li Changhui, but Li Changhui didn't have much reaction: "It's up to you to decide."

Lin He muttered, this really doesn't matter.

But after thinking about it, it's good, I listen to her, there is no conflict, and it saves disagreements and quarrels.

The family walked around the town a few times, bought everything they should buy, and bought a lot of things they shouldn't.

For example, I bought a pack of sugar-fried chestnuts, a pack of mung bean cakes, and carried two sugar canes. I guessed that Li Changsheng's ox cart was about to arrive, so the family rushed to the town to wait.
