Chapter 222 Afraid of Being Missed
Seeing the furry little thing in front of him, little Yu Qingji was very curious and went forward to touch it.
He was not satisfied with just touching the duck, so he just grabbed a little duck.
This action scared the old man so much that he thought he had met a petty thief.
"Cute!" Yu Qingji said cute while kneading the little duck.
When Yu Qingqing saw this, she quickly took it to him to prevent the duckling from being killed by him.
Yu Qingshu and Hua Qinglu apologized to the boss, saying that their youngest son was ignorant.
The old man waved his hand and said nothing more.
He also enthusiastically introduced the ducklings and chicks to Yu Qingshu.
Yu Qingqing suddenly had an idea. She could fence off the pond at home and raise ducks there. She could also find a vacant lot at home and raise some chickens to lay eggs.
She didn't look carefully in her space, and she didn't know whether the pheasants she caught before laid eggs.
The little ducks and chicks sold by the old man look really good. Each one is in good spirits and looks particularly cute with its fur.
The hair looks smooth and sleek, and it looks healthy at first glance.
After some bargaining, Yu Qingqing bought ten chickens and twenty ducks at two cents each and three cents each.
The total cost was eighty silver coins.
Yu Qingqing's wallet deflated a little more.
This is such a sad story!
I continued walking forward and met the old lady selling eggs, with a total of fifty eggs.
Five cents each, and I spent two hundred and fifty cents. This is really a number that is filled with a hint of sadness!
There are really all kinds of things here, including those selling cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, etc.
Various hawking sounds are heard everywhere.
Everyone makes money based on their own abilities!
It's just that the smell here is not very pleasant, and animal feces can be seen everywhere.
The sanitary conditions here are not ideal.
People who come here buy what they want and leave quickly.
For example, the same is true for Yu Qingqing's family.
The ground of Dongyu is paved with broken tiles or small stones, and it looks relatively flat overall.
After leaving the livestock area and walking around, we arrived at the blacksmith shop.
A simple blacksmith shop built with thatched roof appeared in everyone's sight.
The temperature in the blacksmith shop is quite high, and there is a middle-aged man in shorts sweating profusely next to him.
He was very focused and was hitting a big knife hard, "bang! bang! bang!"
Yu Qingqing and her family came to him, but he didn't notice them.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Yu Qingshu pretended to cough a few times, which attracted his attention.
The man in the blacksmith shop is called "Zhang Laotie" by others.
Zhang Laotie: "Sir, what do you need? I have basically everything here. You can buy it in stock, or you can provide drawings and choose to customize it.
Take a look, do you need anything?" Zhang Laotie wiped the sweat from his forehead and then wiped a few more times from his body.
Yu Qingshu also planned to buy some farming tools. The two acres of land his family bought had to be cleaned up first so that he could plant some crops.
Now is the perfect time to plant winter wheat. Leave a small part of the land to plant vegetables, and plant the rest with winter wheat.
Although there is a lot of wheat in Yu Qingqing's space, it still has to be planted outside so that people won't notice its difference.
After returning and repairing the house, Yu Qingqing also plans to buy some more land.
The reason why I don’t buy it now is that I’m afraid it will be too eye-catching.
If I build more houses and buy more land, won’t people think “I have money, why are you coming to me?”
After all, everything has to be done step by step. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!
Yu Qingshu looked around and selected a few tools similar to hoes, which could be used to loosen the soil and weed without any problems.
Yu Qingshu asked anxiously: "How much silver do you need for these things? I want them all."
When Zhang Laotie saw that they were all agricultural tools, he knew what they were used for.
Zhang Laotie: "These things are not expensive, only one or two taels of silver will do. I didn't give you a high price, I just made a small profit."
Zhang Laotie is telling the truth. These things are made of iron, so naturally the cost is a bit higher.
Hua Qinglu took out one tael of silver and the transaction was completed.
The blacksmith shop was also very busy, and after buying things, the family left quickly.
Yu Qingqing also admires these blacksmiths in her heart, because they are truly hardworking and able to endure hardships.
We have to face high temperatures every day, year after year, day after day.
The weather has been a bit hot recently, and with the temperature in the blacksmith shop, it will only get hotter.
After they left, the family finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot better.
After walking up a long stone ladder, we arrived at an open area.
There are relatively few people here, it seems they have taken a long detour.
Since he was unfamiliar with the place, Yu Qinghai went up to someone and asked for directions.
Finally, after turning several corners, we arrived at a relatively prosperous place.
Yu Qingqing saw at a glance that there was a cloth shop in front and prepared to buy some cloth.
She hadn’t finished using up what she bought last time, so she planned to ask if she could buy some cotton.
Cotton at this time may be cheaper than in winter.
After some inquiries, I found that the store indeed had cotton-padded clothes and cotton, and the price was not expensive.
Yu Qingqing bought two cotton-padded jackets and two pairs of cotton shoes for each member of her family.
I bought one hundred kilograms of cotton and five rolls of coarse cloth.
It cost twenty taels in total, which was indeed cheaper.
The proprietress was very happy to have met a big customer, and she gave Yu Qingqing several large bags of leftover materials and a lot of needles and thread as a bonus.
Yu Qinghai went to find a corner, and after the proprietress arranged for someone to deliver the things there, Yu Qingqing put all the things into the space again.
It’s getting late, so I’ll go buy some meat and vegetables for the workers and then go back.
After asking for directions, the family arrived at a meat stall not far away.
Not only pork is sold here, but also mutton and beef. There are also many people selling various vegetables nearby.
Pork here is fifteen cents a pound, pork bones are ten cents a pound, and a large bucket of pig offal is ten cents a pound.
Mutton here is thirty cents a pound, and the offal is free and can be given to you for free.
The price of beef here is fifty cents per pound, and the offal is free and can be given to you for free.
After asking about the prices, Yu Qingqing bought a little of each without hesitation.
You can buy less pork, as she has plenty of space, and it is mainly bought for cover.
Yu Qingqing bought 20 kilograms of pork, 10 kilograms of pork bones, and a large bucket of pork offal.
I bought 20 kilograms of mutton, and the mutton offal was given for free.
I bought 20 kilograms of beef, and the offal came for free.
It cost two taels and ten cents in total, which wasn't too expensive.
