The farmer picked up a husband

Chapter 7 You Must Be Our Lucky Star

After both of them finished washing, Fang Xi lay down on the bed first, and slept against the wall like yesterday. Song Yuzhou saw that he was sticking so tightly, his face might have been squeezed against the wall, and he laughed secretly.

But he didn't tremble like yesterday. Fang Xi knew that Song Yuzhou was a good person, and he just wanted Song Yuzhou to be as comfortable as possible in getting along with him.

Fang Xi felt that he was stupid. He didn't know how to please people since he was a child. His sister-in-law didn't like him. He tried not to appear in front of her sister-in-law as much as possible. beat and scolded.

So when he came here, he naturally felt that as long as he occupied less bed and became invisible so that Song Yuzhou would not notice him, he would be able to make him feel more comfortable, and he would not be so annoying.

Song Yuzhou finally waited for the man to fall asleep, so he leaned over and sniffed the back of his neck. He finally understood that the sweet and sour citrus smell came from his body.

He quietly took Fang Xi's hand and squeezed it in the palm of his hand. Just after eating, he kept thinking about when to hold it again. At that time, it was just a touch away, but now he finally held it, small and soft.

He laid the man down to sleep, and gently took his hand to his heart. His hand was cold, just enough to relieve the heat in his chest.

Early the next morning.

The two washed up briefly, ate steamed cakes, put the fir planks to be transported, and the things to be sold in the market on the bullock cart, and then set off for home.

There was a gentle breeze all the way, and occasionally fallen leaves from the forest fell on the shoulders.

Fang Xi's life since he was a child was not very interesting. Before he made his good friends, he was almost alone. Because his sister-in-law didn't treat him well, his nephew naturally didn't get close to him.

When I was young, I would come to the forest to catch leaves to play after finishing the work by myself. If he caught falling leaves, it meant that he might have better luck today, and maybe he could catch more bamboo elephants to roast and eat.

Fang Xi looked at the fallen leaves in the forest and couldn't help but started to grab the leaves to play. Song Yuzhou watched him while driving the cattle. He was a little frustrated when he couldn't catch the leaves, and he gave up slowly.

Song Yuzhou practiced his eyesight and hand speed when practicing bow and arrow. When a leaf suddenly fell in front of Fang Xi, Song Yuzhou caught the floating dead leaf with his sharp eyes and quick fingers.

Fang Xi let out a low wow, his eyes were bright, and he bent slightly, as if in amazement.

Song Yuzhou handed the dead leaves to him, motioning for him to hold them.

Fang Xi took the leaves with both hands and thought with a slight smile that Song Yuzhou gave him good luck today.

After returning home, Er Wang ran over from a distance. Er Wang is Song Yucheng's wolfhound. He is also physically strong and runs as fast as Da Wang, like a gust of wind.

Da Wang quickly jumped out of the bullock cart, and the two wolfhounds ran and twisted together to play happily.

When he got home, Song Yucheng hurried over to unload the fir boards with his elder brother.

Xiangniang also came out to help with the things, and said to them: "You don't need to take it, we will unload the goods, you go back and have a rest first."

Song Yuzhou: "No rest, I hunted black-stalked snakes yesterday, so it should be earlier." Take it to the market and sell it, and I'm afraid it won't be sold if it's too late."

Xiangniang: "Oh! This is a good thing, I have to go early."

Song Yuzhou: "Well, mother, you can take my wood by the way. Give me the box."

The two drank their water, borrowed a steelyard from the aunt next door, and drove the ox cart to the market.

In the market, they found an open space, spread out sackcloth, put the snakes and rabbits away, Fang Xi took down two baskets of osmanthus twigs, and peddled them with Song Yuzhou.

Rabbits are easy to sell. Fat rabbits can weigh eight or nine catties, so there is no problem selling them for two cents. The one Song Yuzhou hunted this time is a little thinner. In the end, he negotiated with an aunt and sold it for one cent and fifty cents.

Fangxi's osmanthus twigs are also easy to sell, because they are of good quality and the price is fair. It only costs five cents a tael, which is two cents cheaper than drugstores. Cassia twigs, even if there is no wind and cold in the average family, they will buy some to keep at home in case of emergencies. So Fangxi's medicine is also selling well.

When the first order of Gui Zhi was sold, Fang Xi took the money and handed it to Song Yuzhou, but Song Yuzhou didn't take it and said he would keep it himself. Fang Xi thought it was going to be placed with him temporarily, so she took the rope and hung it up first to put it in her arms.

There are many people who come to see the black-tailed snake, but not many can afford it. It is a rare commodity. It is rare for commoners in the town to afford it. Song Yuzhou asks for a price of two taels and it is not expensive. When the town's master wants to eat but can't find it anywhere , no matter how much is willing to pay.

Finally, a slightly fat middle-aged man came, dressed more delicately, and he could afford it, Song Yuzhou greeted him with neither humble nor overbearing, and asked, "Come and see this black-stalked snake, I hunted it yesterday, is it still alive?" , Fresh."

The middle-aged man glanced at it, then turned the cloth bag again.

Song Yuzhou picked up the scale and weighed it, and said: "Don't look at the small size of this snake, because of its long body, it weighs a full three catties!

"

Song Yuzhou: "Two liang."

The middle-aged man: "You young man is not sincere."

Song Yuzhou: "Naturally, you have seen the big world. How many officials and lords want to eat this black-stalked snake and can't find it. I sell it for a cheap price. I still think that I won't be able to sell it later, so I will send it to the official. Street restaurants, that should be affordable!"

The middle-aged man clenched his fists to his mouth and coughed, "Well, I won't let you earn less, one, two, five, the most."

Song Yuzhou: "Please It's auspicious, one tael or eight, and I'll wrap it up for you now."

The middle-aged man: "Okay, let's make a deal."

Fang Xidan knew that black-stalked snakes belonged to mountain treasures, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable! The osmanthus twigs on his own side were almost sold out, and they sold for a total of more than 10 yuan and 20 yuan.

He watched Song Yuzhou put all the money he got into his purse, and handed over his own money for selling medicine.

Song Yuzhou: "This is yours, you keep it yourself."

Fang Xi thought he heard it wrong, can he get the money himself? When I was at home, I never had a penny in my hand. Even when I was working in a pharmacy, my sister-in-law went directly to the pharmacy owner and said that she would come to get the monthly money.

Now you can save money for yourself! He treasured the penny he earned, and put it safely in the inner pocket of his clothes.

Seeing the slight smile on Fu Lang's face, Song Yuzhou was also happy.

Then the two began to wander around the streets of the town, saying that Song Yuzhou was always looking around as if he was looking for something.

Finally, he focused his sight on one place, and drove the ox cart over. It was a house under construction. Looking at the plot, the yard should be quite large. Song Yuzhou went in directly and found the owner.

The owner of the house was a kind merchant. Song Yuzhou expressed his intention to come and asked the owner if he wanted to find a carpenter to make furniture. The owner said that he needed it.

Song Yuzhou opened his wooden box, and there were more than a dozen small compartments inside. Each wooden compartment was the same exquisite furniture model, and even the carvings were very finely carved, and they were carefully brushed with tung oil several times.

All the people present were amazed at his superb skills. It was the first time Fang Xi had seen him, and he looked at the small world in the wooden box with surprise and joy.

It happened that Luo Ge from this village was also among the people working on the spot. Luo Ge came over and said to the owner: "This is a well-known carpenter in our village. All the new furniture in the village is made by them. They are good, fast and delicate, and they are sincere Let's do it!"

Song Yuzhou: "Thank you,

Brother Luo, for your compliment." Brother Luo: "Brother Song is being modest, not a compliment, to be honest."

Seeing that there is an acquaintance as a guarantee, and the box of models is indeed excellent, the owner immediately made a decision.

Start by selecting furniture based on the model, and finally finalize the furniture order with a total price of twelve taels. The contract was signed immediately, and the owner paid a deposit of two or three in advance.

After signing the contract, Song Yuzhou looked at the stacked beams, columns and timber. The land is so large, these alone are obviously not enough.

Then I asked the head of the house: "Is there a shortage of timber for beams and columns in your home?" The

head of the house: "Shortage, I am worried about this. There is a wood factory in a neighboring town. The market price is not high but the transportation fee is high. Your side Do you have a recommendation?"

Song Yuzhou: "You trust me, so please entrust this matter to me, and I will transport it to you from Qingtian Village." The

owner: "That's kind!"

So Song Yuzhou accepted it from the owner. There are two orders for furniture and wood. The wood business has paid a deposit of five taels, and the specific total price will be settled at that time.

It is definitely not enough to rely on own oxcarts and manpower for timber felling and transportation. At that time, people will have to hire people to work and rent oxcarts. Although the total value of the business is much larger, the profit ratio should not be as high as that of furniture. But this can be regarded as a big gain for the family.

On weekdays, it is a rare big business for anyone to make furniture with a total price of five taels. Now that two big orders have been placed this time, Song Yuzhou felt extremely comfortable on the way back, and quietly leaned into Fang Xi's ear and said,

" You must be the lucky star of our family."
