Fields of Gold

Chapter 123: Busy

Views:

After returning from the yamen, the Yu family had lingering fears—if it wasn't for Yu Hang's fate, wouldn't he also be one of the bones in the backyard of the woodware shop

In the end, the notorious shopkeeper Zhang was sentenced to be executed by Qiuhou Wen and all his property was confiscated. The carpenter and apprentice in the wood shop were acquitted after finding out that they had nothing to do with the matter...

It has been more than an hour since I returned home from the town. Although Housekeeper Yao was very anxious, he was not good at urging him. Fortunately, the Yu family's little donkey looked ordinary, but it ran quite fast, not much slower than the Yao family's carriage.

However, seeing Yu Xiaocao's face turned pale and about to vomit from the bumps, Housekeeper Yao had to ask several times if he wanted to slow down.

"No need!" Yu Xiaocao took the water bag she carried with her, took a sip of Lingshi water, and immediately felt much more comfortable in her stomach. She continued softly, "If we hadn't been lingering for a long time at the Zhenxiu Restaurant, we would have arrived home by this time. Maybe all the dishes have been picked and loaded into the carriage! Don't hurry up, butler Yao, you will have to walk at night. "

Seeing her distressed look, Steward Yao was both moved and worried: "Miss Yu, if you are going to go to and from town often, you really need a good wheel. However, the rubber wheels are not only expensive, but also scarce. Incomparable. If you want to get one, you don’t just need money!”

"Is it hard to get rubber wheels?" Yu Xiaocao thought that just like in her previous life, if she had money, she could buy them. That's right, rubber is only produced in tropical regions, and Tanggu is located in the north of Daming, and the transportation in ancient times was not so convenient.

Seeing her question, Steward Yao nodded and said: "It is said that the rubber wheels are complicated in craftsmanship and the output is extremely low. First, they are used for the high-ranking officials in the capital, and then officials from all over the world. Those who are rich but have no power like our master, After asking many people, I managed to buy one. However, Miss Yu, don’t worry, the Zhou family is an imperial merchant, and they have contacts with many noble people in the capital. Since Young Master Zhou promised you, I will definitely get you one .”

Yu Xiaocao didn't doubt the reliability of Zhou Shao's words, but felt that she owed San Shao another favor in her heart.

While speaking, the donkey cart had already entered Dongshan Village. Under the old elm tree at the entrance of the village, several old people were chatting under the tree. Hearing the sound of horseshoes, the old people looked over one after another.

"Old Yu, it's your second son who came back driving the donkey cart." An old man stood up tremblingly, put his hands on his eyebrows and glanced into the distance, before squatting down again, with a slightly envious tone Said, "Your second child is really good! Not long after we separated, he bought a donkey cart and started a business!"

Old Yutou's older brother, Yu Lichun, stood up slowly, and said slowly, "You only see the good side of their family, but have you ever thought about their difficulties? When the sea was separated, he was seriously injured. I can't keep it! Dahai's daughter-in-law is weak, and their little grass womb is sick. A few days ago, Xiaosha was beaten almost to death! Luckily Dahai and Xiaosha were lucky..."

Old Yu blushed with embarrassment at his brother's meaningful eyes and words. Seeing the carriage behind the donkey cart, he quickly changed the subject and said, "I've never seen the carriage behind Dahai before. I don't know if Dahai and the others need help. I have to go and have a look!"

"Father! Uncle..." Yu Hai also saw them, pulled the reins around the little donkey's neck, gradually slowed down, and stopped at the entrance of the village.

Yu Xiaocao also greeted sweetly: "Grandpa, grandpa! What are you talking about here?"

Yu Lichun smiled kindly: "Xiaocao, did you go to the town with your father? Did you go to Tongrentang and let Dr. Sun show you? Your complexion is not very good..."

Yu Xiaocao touched her smooth face and said with a smile, "Grandpa, the donkey cart ran too fast just now, and I was a little dizzy. Don't worry, I'm fine!"

"If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell your father, don't suffer from minor illnesses to become serious illnesses! If the money is not enough, grandpa will have some!" Yu Lichun can't forget the way Xiaocao was motionless in her father's arms in winter.

Yu Xiaocao was moved in her heart: "Thank you, Grandpa, Xiaocao remembered it!"

Old Yu took a look at the well-dressed Butler Yao, pulled Yu Hai aside, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this guy? What is he here for? You won't cause trouble again if you go to town?"

Although Steward Yao is a servant of the Yao family, his clothes are not much worse than those of the wealthy families in the town. In the eyes of old head Yu, the offended person is already waiting.

"Father!" Yu Hai said helplessly, "He's the housekeeper of the Yao Mansion. Tomorrow, Old Master Yao will celebrate his birthday, and he wants to pick some vegetables from our house. I'm not a young man anymore, how could I cause trouble casually?"

"Picking vegetables? What kind of vegetables are there at this time of year? The seeds haven't been planted yet!! You won't be lying to dad, are you?" Old Yu was still a little worried. Forgive him for the panic of the petty bourgeoisie, after all, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

In desperation, Yu Hai had no choice but to say: "If you are worried, you will know if you come with us to the old house?"

"Old man, we are in a hurry, can I trouble you to make a long story short?" Butler Yao looked at the sky with an anxious look on his face.

Old Yu heard the words, swallowed what he wanted to say, and nodded frequently with a smile: "Okay, okay! Then I won't delay you!"

Under Steward Yao's earnest eyes, Yu Xiaocao bid farewell to Grandpa and jumped back into the donkey cart. This time, the carriage drove ahead, and no one dared to stop them again. However, a gust of wind soon blew up in the village, saying that Yu Hai was in trouble and climbed up on the nobles in the town...

The carriage stopped in front of the old house. Yu Hai removed the threshold and drove the donkey cart into the yard. Before he had time to unload Xiaohui from the donkey cart, he asked Yu Hang who was basking in the sun on a deck chair in the yard, "Xiaosha, where is your mother?"

"Washing clothes in the well in the backyard! Dad, what's the matter?" Yu Hang also saw Butler Yao who came in with his father at this time, and wanted to stand up a little warily.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaocao hurriedly said: "Brother! The bones haven't grown well yet, don't move around!! I'll go to the backyard and ask my mother to come over and help pick vegetables!"

Mrs. Liu had already heard her man's voice, and came out of the backyard shaking her wet hands, asking, "You're back? How's the food going?"

"It's all sold out! Put the clothes there first, and you help pick the vegetables first, and Housekeeper Yao is still rushing back!" Yu Hai said excitedly. A cart of vegetables sold for twenty taels of silver, who would believe it? His daughter is amazing, vegetables are sold at the price of meat, and some people come to buy them!

As soon as Housekeeper Yao entered the courtyard, he was attracted by the vibrant vegetables in the courtyard. Such a large yard, at least seventy-eight percent of the land, is full of all kinds of vegetables, leaving only a small path for people to pass through.

When the vegetables are flourishing, they show all their vitality. The green leaves shimmer with faint light spots in the sun, and there seems to be an elf dancing on each leaf. The vegetables grown by this Yu family are really good. Not to mention the advance of the season, the output is absolutely leveraged.

Seeing the stranger in the courtyard, Mrs. Liu said politely: "The guest has worked hard, let's go inside and have a glass of water to quench your thirst!"

Steward Yao went back from the vegetable market, reported it to the master, and brought the carriage from the stable. After waiting anxiously at the back door of the Zhenxiu Building for over an hour, and then rushed over with the Yu family's father and daughter, it was only then that he took a breath. Hearing what she said, I suddenly felt thirsty in my mouth.

But he didn't enter the house, but sat down on a stone in front of the house, said with a smile, "I won't go in, it's quite comfortable to bask in the sun here."

Mrs. Liu poured a bowl of warm water and brought it over. Butler Yao got up to catch it, and thanked him politely. He couldn't care less about the simplicity of the rough porcelain bowl, so he gulped down the water in one gulp. Perhaps it was because of his thirst, but Butler Yao felt that the white water was more refreshing than any tea he had ever drunk, so he couldn't help but praise it.

The little golden cat that jumped down from Yu Xiaocao's shoulder rolled his eyes at him—how strange it is! The bath water of this god stone is full of aura, even if it has been diluted, it is not comparable to ordinary water, of course it is delicious.

Seeing his parents and younger sister, Yu Hang rolled up his sleeves and was busy in the vegetable field. These days when he came back, he watched his family members busy without touching the ground, but he couldn't help much. He is also very clear in his heart that the most important thing now is to take good care of his body so that he can take care of his family's worries in the future! But he is in a hurry! Just like now, he wished he could get up and help pick vegetables and put them into baskets...

Little Butianshi paced gracefully and arrogantly, and when he passed by Yu Hang, he seemed to sense his anxiety. Pausing for a moment, it jumped onto his lap lightly, and the cat let him scratch it with a benevolent expression on its face. Xiaobutianshi's inner OS: Weak human beings, it's your blessing that this Godstone can help you scratch it. Be blessed! !

Yu Hai, his wife and daughter Yu Xiaocao were busy in the vegetable field. The servant who followed was also sent by Butler Yao to help. Although picking vegetables is not good, there is no technical content in loading baskets.

Old Yu walked slowly into the old house, and was stunned when he saw the vegetables in the yard. When he came last time, the yard was full of thatch made of straw and wheat stalks. He didn't know what to do with it at the time, so he wanted to ask several times but he didn't ask. Unexpectedly, the grass thatch is covered with planted vegetable seedlings! It only takes about ten days, and the vegetables can be picked

Old Yu walked up to the eldest grandson first, and asked him about his injuries. Seeing that the second child's family was very busy, they rolled up their sleeves and went into the vegetable field to help!

Not long after, Xiao Lian also came back from the pier. The Yu family's penny stewed vegetables are famous on the pier! As soon as I took it, the basket bottomed out in less than a quarter of an hour! The stewed vegetables in their family are not only cheap, but the taste is also well-known.

Now, not only the workers on the wharf, but even the people in the nearby villages will make a special trip to the town to buy a few copies when there are guests at home. Treat guests with Yu's stewed vegetables, special noodles!
