In the countryside, cows are amazing animals. If anyone owns a cow, their life will not be too bad. As for those who have horses, they are basically big families. When the scumbag Zhang Yangfan and Jiang Baining got married, he rode a horse, and the horse was borrowed. Even if the Zhang family is a wealthy family in Huaping Village, even his family does not have a horse, one can imagine how precious a horse is.
But the Zhang family has a cow.
Luo Fei was very upset as long as he thought of Jiang Baining's smug look. Isn't it just a cow? !
He wants to buy cattle too! Buy a better cow than Zhang's! He's not the kind of guy who has to cover everyone, but he has to cover the enemy! That Zhang Yangfan and Jiang Baining caused him to be constantly pointed at him, and he had to let himself out when he said anything!
Luo Fei stood at the door of Xi's house: "Xi Yanqing, are you here?"
Xi Yanqing said: "Here, the door is unlocked, come in by yourself!"
As soon as Luo Fei pushed the door, the door really opened, but the door of Xi's house was a little heavy, so he didn't open it the first time he pushed it.
It was dark, and Xi Yanqing was lighting an oil lamp at this time. When Luo Fei entered, he saw that he was holding a very small needle in front of the light, scratching his ears and cheeks clumsily at the fabric.
"Is something wrong?" Xi Yanqing looked up.
"What are you doing?" Luo Fei sat down casually, "Sew clothes?"
"Well, it was scratched when I was working during the day. It doesn't seem to work if I don't sew it up."
"Hey, let me ask you, do you know how much to buy a cow?" After Luo Fei finished speaking, he looked at Xi Yanqing and competed with the fabric.
"About fifty taels of silver, a normal bull."
"Five taels?" So easy... No! is so expensive! Their family of six spends at most five taels a year, and if they have nothing to do, the three taels of money they live frugally are enough. Five two! Doesn't that mean you won't have to eat or drink for two years? !
"It may be cheaper for calves, about 4 taels for better ones, and about 3 taels for second ones. But if it's females, it's more expensive, and so are the breeding cattle. What are you asking?"
"I want to buy a cow. Oh, you know? It's that Jiang Baining who pryed my original corner. I ran into him when I went to Han's house to borrow an ox cart. He has a cow at home. This is so awesome. Yes, it's just unbearable!" After a pause, "But five taels is really too expensive." I don't know if it will be worth five taels if I sell him, this is simply a horror movie! A cow is so expensive, no wonder every household can afford it.
"If you make money, you can buy it naturally. We are still young, so we can plan slowly. Anyway, we have more things in our minds than the ancients, and there is always something to play."
"You're fine, where can I play?" He also knew that making money was important, but how? No commercials or filming is allowed here.
After thinking about it for a long time, Luo Fei only thought of going to the mountains to increase the food production at home. But with his small arms and legs, it is estimated that he will not be able to open an acre of land until next year, which is too hard.
Everyone can make money when they travel through time. This is unreasonable!
Xi Yanqing saw Luo Fei thinking hard, and smiled: "Just want a cow?"
"Ah." Luo Fei tilted his head and looked at Xi Yanqing, "You don't want to? If you really do the work, it would be better to have a cow pulling it. And if there is no cow, don't we have to do all the work the cow does? Thinking about it makes my back hurt!" Although his body is now a little brother, he is not a strong worker, but he has to help when it is time to help, and it is impossible to really wait for the pie to fall from the sky. So you still have to have a cow.
"Do you know how to cook?" Xi Yanqing thought about it and said, "If you know how to cook, I can do the work in the fields in the future."
"...Does it count as being able to cook instant noodles?" Luo Fei asked.
"Do you think it looks like it sells instant noodles here?" Xi Yanqing sighed, "It seems that you shouldn't expect to eat anything delicious in a short time."
"Go, it's as if you have the ingredients to make it delicious. Every day, it's either porridge or steamed buns, or big cakes, confused porridge, and the birds are almost fading out of their mouths, and I don't know when they will be able to eat them. Meat." Luo Fei licked his lips, recalling the delicious food he had eaten in the past, only to feel a lot of saliva in his mouth. At that time, he often couldn't finish his meal at school. Thinking about it, it was such a waste.
"Actually, it's time for us to catch up. Once there is a disaster this year, I'm afraid that many people will starve to death. At least we are not too hungry now." Xi Yanqing said, suddenly not very happy. Put the pants aside and don't sew. My eyes are almost blind and I haven't sewed it properly - I thought it was sewn, but when I unfolded it, I actually sewed the front and back fabrics of the trouser legs together! Now I can't even stretch my legs in!
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the top student of Agricultural University. Did you buy the admission letter?" Luo Fei shook his legs, "Do you need to help me, sir?"
"You know how to sew?"
"It is necessary. My grandmother is a famous folk artist with a high level of embroidery skills. She always wanted my mother to learn, but my mother didn't call me about these, but I was very interested in various needle techniques when I was a child. I still want to learn design, but I was influenced by my grandmother." Luo Fei stretched out his hand, "Bring the pants."
When Xi Yanqing listened to Luo Fei's words, it didn't look like he was bragging, so he gave him his pants. Luo Fei took one look and dismantled the messy places he sewed. After dismantling, he skillfully re-threaded the thread, tied the knot, and began to sew seriously. His technique is very fast and proficient. His slender and tender fingers hold the needle, and skillfully thread the needle and thread through the fabric, and sew the trousers in a short time. Moreover, unlike the messy sew of Xiyan, he sews flat and smooth. solid. Although the stitch marks can still be seen, they are not obvious at all.
"Amazing." Xi Yanqing said in surprise as he took his pants.
"That's right, I don't even think about whose grandson I am. I'm not telling you, my classmates bought clothes and trousers when I was in school, and I liked to make changes on top of them when I was in school... I can embroider!" Luo Fei seemed to have discovered a new continent, and stood up with a "bass". He looked at Xi Yanqing a little excitedly, and walked up and down the ground uncontrollably, "I can embroider purses for sale! How could I forget about this!"
"Who are you selling to in this broken place?" Xi Yanqing whispered.
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing. It's fine." Let's make you happy for a while.
"I won't tell you, I have to go back and think about it. What can I embroider and sell to buy cattle at the fastest speed!" Luo Fei said that he had already gone out, and his steps became a lot lighter with excitement.
"Wait for me! It's too late, I'll take you back!"
Xiyan cleared the door and quickly followed Luo Fei, who did not resist.
Coincidentally, when Luo Fei first arrived home, the mother and sister in the house were also doing needlework there. To be precise, it was Luo Rugan, and Li Yuehua pointed there. But Luo Ru was tired of doing what she did.
"Oh mother, I can't sew well! Can I stop sewing?!"
"Of course not!" Li Yuehua said decisively, "You say that you are a girl whose sewing skills are not as good as your brother's. If you say it, it will be a joke! Give me more practice, just practice more. Why don't you think about it? When you get married in the future, the clothes you wear look like that of a beggar, are you embarrassed?"
"I don't want to, but I just don't have a smooth seam. What's the trick? You must have passed on all this cleverness to him when you gave birth to my second brother, and you didn't leave any behind when you came to me!" Luo Ru He pouted and heard the voice of the person coming. Seeing that it was Luo Fei, he quickly said coquettishly, "Second brother, second brother, you came back just in time, quickly help me."
"It's done!" Luo Fei was in a good mood, not to mention helping to sew something, he was afraid that he would agree to let him tailor clothes.
"What is it?! You have to sew your own wedding dress for auspiciousness! Erbao, you are not allowed to help Sanbao." Li Yuehua looked at her daughter sternly, "When will you finish sewing this sleeve and sleep? Do you know? ?"
"Got it, mother." Luo Ru pouted so much that she could hang a soy sauce bottle. She looked at Roffe pitifully.
"That's it, Sanbao, when you finish sewing your clothes, the second brother promises you to embroider the most beautiful patterns for you! Embroider what you want for you!"
"Really or not, second brother? You said earlier that you didn't have any skills."
"It was before, and now is now. Don't worry, what the second brother promised will be done."
"It's done! Then I'll sew quickly!" Luo Ru lowered her head, and slammed into the wedding dress again.
Li Yuehua glanced at her daughter who was working hard, and then waved to Xi Yanqing: "Xi Yu, come, my uncle and I are showing you the days. I'll ask for a few more during the day, plus the previous ones. I asked about all the good days in the past three months, and you can see which one is suitable."
Luo Fei immediately gave Xi Yanqing a wink when he heard the words: Don't pick too close!
When Xi Yanqing saw it, he had to say to Li Yuehua, "Auntie, as I mean, it's better when the weather is warmer. Erbao told me that his wedding dress was not thick, and it was too cold for his marriage recently. He's freezing, so you see..."
Luo Fei took a look, okay, Xi Yanqing, this time his mind turned fast enough!
So he was relieved to go back to his room to transfer the sewing kit, intending to see if he could make something small first.
But he didn't know that as soon as he entered, Xi Yanqing sighed and said helplessly in a low voice: "Uncle, aunt, I want to choose the nearest day. You two also know that I am alone outside. For so many years, I have been reciting Erbao. But he didn't agree. He insisted on letting me delay a little longer. See if you can think of a way..."
"What's wrong with this?" Li Yuehua said happily, "It's on me!"
"Don't worry, if it really doesn't work, I'll beat him again and he'll stop." Luo Tian said, "A little bastard, born in a bliss and not knowing happiness, just needs to be beaten!"
"Don't, don't, if you hit me, it will really hurt. In addition, I want to go to town tomorrow to see something, and let Ji Ge help me. Is he there? I ask him if he can go."
"I'm here. But what do you want to buy? If it doesn't work, let your uncle go with you." Li Yuehua said.
"No, no, just let Brother Ji come with me. Mainly, I also want to see what the furniture is selling in the shops in the town, and I'll go back and get Erbao something nice."
"You child, you really have a heart." Li Yuehua was very happy and whispered, "Don't worry, let's pick the closest day!"
Xi Yanqing bowed to Li Yuehua, and then went to open the curtain to see what Luo Fei was doing there.
Luo Fei took out the sewing kit, and when he saw the fineness of the thread and the less than three pieces of old fabric in it, he felt very, very bad. This is so simple... There is no way to start this!
Xiyan coughed softly: "Er Treasure, I'm leaving first."
Luo Fei didn't lift his head: "Let's go, let's go." After a while, he raised his head and pinched his neck, seeing that Xi Yanqing hadn't left yet: "What are you doing? Is there anything else?"
Xi Yanqing seemed to ask casually, "Do you think the scalpers are good-looking or the flower cattle are good-looking?"
Luo Fei pondered for a while and said, "Cattle?"
Xi Yanqing nodded: "Well, I think so too."
After he finished speaking, he put down the curtain and left.
