Xu Qing and the others came early, but the number of people who sell vegetables on the street is almost there. Farmers don't have the habit of sleeping in, and there are certain people in town who like to buy vegetables earlier and buy fresh ones. Thank you. Ah Mo's eggs are all recently saved, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are fresh and big enough. They were bought by one Momo not long after they bought 20 eggs for thirty cents, and the eggs must be fresh enough. To have this good price, it is usually twenty-five cents. Xie Amo was in a good mood when he bought it at a good price, "Come on, brother Qing, what do you want to buy, let's go shopping!"
Xu Qing was also infected by Xie Amei's happy atmosphere, and his subconscious tone brought a bit of excitement, "I want to buy piglets, chickens, and...", "Okay, let's take it slow, Follow me." Xie Amo looked at Xu Qing, who was thin and gleaming in front of him with kind eyes, and dragged him to the place where the piglets were sold.
"It's the end of winter, and there are few piglets for sale. Let's try our luck, buy the ones that are strong, and come next time if they don't work. Don't worry, it will take a while, I'll pay back the price, you are young , I have no experience, watch more and learn more, it will not be easy to suffer in the future." Xie Amo told Xu Qing as he walked, and looked at Xu Qing's head and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and felt even more satisfied. Is a good brother.
Now that I can think of coming out to go to the market, then I will really let go. When I grow up, I have to see which man has not married a daughter-in-law. Eleven years old is not enough, Xie Amo is a little worried, because in this world, the elder brother is twenty-one, and the man is twenty-four before he is married, so he has to listen to the government's words and get the official match! That's not a good place to go. Those who are waiting for the official match can't find a brother. They are either lazy or disabled!
Xie Amo looked at Xu Qing, who was looking at the market curiously with his neck outstretched. His heart softened. He was still like a child in his twenties. He would have to talk to Brother Qing another day. Things will make such a big change and go out of the village.
Xu Qing, who was being dazzled by all kinds of ancient architecture fans in the market, didn't know what Xie Amo was thinking. He didn't even know that there was a rule of official matching in this world, otherwise he would not be delicious. I can't sleep, and I'm not in the mood to look at the quaint house in front of me.
Their luck is good. There are just a few young piglets with long spirits. Although they are not big, they are full of spirits. As long as they put in a little effort to raise them, they will be able to develop a big pig, because the piglets are sold just right It was from the village of Xie Amen's mother's house, and they also had some friendship, so the piglet who originally had 650 wen was also discounted to 600 wen.
Xie Amo took advantage of Xu Qing to give the master money, and pulled the master's daughter-in-law, Liu Momo, "Hey, help me pay attention to one thing, let's see which honest and down-to-earth men in Jixiang Village are not married yet. Lead my little nephew!" Liu Momo followed Xie Amo's eyes and saw Xu Qing's profile looking down to pay for money, although fair, there were obvious red bumps on his face... "This is the Xu family. The one?" Xie Amo gave Liu Momo a sideways look, "Why, you are just like those people with shallow eyelids!"
"Hey, what are you talking about! It's on me. At these times, a lot of people from the village came back to serve in the military, and many of them didn't say anything about them!" Xie Amei hurriedly said, "You are doing well. Look, I'll keep my mouth shut when the time comes!" "Don't worry, don't worry, wrap it on me!"
"Thank you, what are you talking about?" After Xu Qing paid the money, he told the boss, the man from Liu Momo's family, that he would wait until he bought other things to lead the little piggy, and saw Xie Ame and Liu Momo get together. Chatting together incessantly. "Ah, no, it's just that I haven't been back to my parents' house for a long time. I asked you, Liu Momo, to bring a message to the family, right!"
Liu Momo immediately replied: "Yes, yes, little brothers, you go shopping first, I will tie this piglet to you alone, and come over when you are finished, ah!" Xu Qing hurriedly heard this. Thank you, although I told the boss, but the lady boss herself brought it up again, and he felt more at ease.
"Why are you staring at people's backs? Although that brother is ugly, he is still a good boy." The Liu family man looked at his daughter-in-law staring at Xu Qing's back and they were leaving, a little puzzled , "Bah, bah, what's ugly or not! Stay aside! It's annoying!" While chasing his own annoying man, Liu Momo began to find out which man from the village had a more down-to-earth character.
Under the leadership of Xie Amo, Xu Qing quickly bought salt and a condiment similar to chili peppers. When shopping for clothes, Xie Amo grabbed Xu Qing and said, "What clothes are you buying! Do it! It's much better than buying it." Xu Qing was stunned, he couldn't do it! Looking at Xu Qing's "what if you don't know what to do" face, Xie Amei was a little amused: "Take the cloth, Amei will do it!" Xu Qing hurriedly waved his hand, "How can this be possible, it's too troublesome." "What's the trouble, that's it." Xie Amo pulled Xu Qing to pick out the fabrics that fit his brother's color in the store.
Xu Qing thought for a while and pulled La Xie's sleeve, "Then thank you for making clothes for me, I have to pay you the wages, otherwise I wouldn't want you to do it for nothing even if I bought it." After insisting on it again and again, Xie Amei reluctantly agreed, but she thought that the clothes would be ready by then, and it would be fine not to collect the money from the brother, and Xu Qing went to the cloth shop when Xie Amei was picking out the fabrics. The boss asked a little about the price of making clothes, and he knew it, "Come on, brother Qing, come and see how these pieces of cloth are."
Xu Qing walked over, looked at the three pieces of fabric that Xie Amo had picked, dark blue, light purple, and light green, and touched it, "Well, although it's linen, it feels pretty good." He doesn't know how to buy silk. , not to mention eye-catching, and it is not convenient to work. In the last days, I have never experienced any hardships, and I will not pick and choose. Three pieces of cloth cost 60 cents in total. If you buy a finished piece of clothing, it is 50 cents, which is not worth it. "You know, this money can't help but be spent, and you have to be careful."
Xie Ame looked at Xu Qing with a happy face and joked, "Yeah, I didn't expect the finished product and fabric to be so different, right, Xie Ame, I still want to buy some chicken and pork." After Xu Qing sighed, he immediately Remembering that I haven't bought everything yet, I immediately said anxiously, "Now the sun is up, it's almost noon, and there are no chicken sellers, so let's go, anyway, my family will be holding chickens soon, and then come to my house to hold them. "
When Xu Qing heard this, he looked at Xie Ah Mo with a smile, "I'll sell it to you at the market price, otherwise I won't be willing." "Okay, okay." "I want fifteen chicks. Boy!" Immediately put forward his own request, which surprised Xie Amo, "So many, can one person do it?" Xu Qing patted his thin little chest with his hand, "Of course, I can raise it when the time comes. Enough, I'll give you a taste!" Xie Ame, who was also amused by Xu Qing's appearance, smiled and said, "Then Xie Ame can wait!" After speaking, Xu Qing's face immediately There was a "I'm very satisfied" look that appeared again.
Those who passed by them were a little puzzled, "This little guy is ugly or ugly, but his smile is quite sweet."
After Xie Ame and Xu Qing bought a pound of pork belly, they took the little piglets and hurried to the place Uncle Li said. "Here and here!" Uncle Li, who saw Xu Qing and the two from a distance, watched Xu Qing lead the piglets, and drove the donkey cart over, "Uncle Li, why are you the only one here?" Xu Qing said a little. I wonder, when I came this morning, the donkey carts were full.
"Oh, brother Qing, you don't know, today is the day when the men who have served in the military will return home!" Xie Amei thought that Xu Qing had forgotten and explained the reason to him, but he didn't even know that he didn't know, "Yeah. , so the people pulling the donkey cart have made several trips, and I also ran several times before I got here and saw you."
Uncle Li is in a good mood. He took a few more trips today and made some money to buy some delicious food for his daughter-in-law and children to make them happy. After putting the piglet on the donkey cart, Xu Qing, who was seated, felt a little guilty. Ask Xie Ah Me, "Xie Ah Me, you also know that I don't go out very often, this dynasty and the superior," Xu Qing pointed to the sky, "Who are they?" When Qing opened his eyes, people became more lively, "We are the Great Qin Dynasty, the emperor is in his prime, and the taxation to our people is also good..."
Xu Qing thought about it and it seemed that this "Qin Dynasty" was not the Qin Dynasty in ancient China. "How can there be military service? Isn't this world not peaceful?" Xu Qing was a little worried, he didn't want to wear a war-torn one. Times, "It's not, it's the practice of several generations of dynasties, and I don't know why." Xie Amei didn't know why, but it didn't care about the common people, so he gave Xu Qing a little bit about military service. knowledge.
This dynasty will recruit military service every five years, and every family must have a man to enter. People who have served in the military can not enter for 15 years. If there is a husband and wife in the family, the children that can be born are brothers. The man in charge of the family who has also served in the military can pay taxes instead. When the original body was just born, Xu’s father went to serve in the military. He didn’t come back until he was five years old, until Xu Qing was fifteen years old. When Xu’s father and the others died, their family was Paying taxes every five years in lieu of military service, Xu Qing is now twenty-one, and he will be twenty-one in two months. The men who have served in the military have all returned this year, so Xu Qing is relieved, he can only Alone, and a brother, it seems that for future taxes, he has to find a way to make money.
Uncle Li sent them to the fork in the morning. After helping Xu Qing unpack the piglets and things, he took the donkey cart and went back. After Xie Amo put the things down, he helped Xu Qing drive the piglets to Xu Qing. In the pig sty, and then went back. Today, there are people in the village who have gone to military service to see the children who are five years old. The man returned home, and he was full of joy. At this noon, he saw the smoke of the cooking blaze in the village. Xu Qing watched the meeting, closed the courtyard door, and prepared to cook lunch.
