Chapter 259 The donkey cart is bought back, I'm envious
Hearing that Uncle Er and the others also had to work, Er, San and Si Zhu felt a little more balanced.
The second uncle can't do anything to them.
Compared with strength, how can Jianghehu compare with them?
Not to mention the movie about the two girls, Da Ya and Er Ya. Women are naturally not as strong as men. They can't compare no matter how they compare!
"Look, everyone, what is that!" Li Wu stood up and stretched his muscles, looking into the distance and shouting loudly.
The others were startled, stood upright with their legs propped up, followed Li Wu's gaze towards the way they came, their eyes suddenly widened, and they shouted in disbelief: "That's a donkey?
Lots and lots of donkeys! "
There are endless donkeys on the dirt road. To be precise, they are donkey carts. Each donkey is pulling a cart behind it.
The strong men and women drove the donkey carts to the side of the path that was not accessible by carts, and came over holding the digging tools on the carts.
"Ten donkey carts and one ox cart! I can count them clearly." Fan Xiaoliu jumped up and said excitedly.
Xu Laosan asked in confusion: "Isn't Fan Jin's house an ox cart and a donkey cart? Why are there so many?"
"Hey, you'll know when they come and ask. If you ask me where else could such a lot of money come from, of course I bought it." Li Qiang said enviously.
Everyone was looking at the donkey cart, and they couldn't hide the envy in their eyes.
How could you not be envious? There are eleven animals. Driving the animals to transport soil and pulling the cart step by step are two completely different things.
People will be tired after one trip, even if the cart is empty when they come back, but animals are different. Not carrying anything when they come back is equivalent to resting.
And the animals pulled much more weight than they did!
Fan Qian's face looked extremely ugly.
There was envy and jealousy in the eyes of the second, third, and fourth pillars. They hated that these animals were not their own, and that their second uncle had so many servants, and that all the big and small rivers and lakes were not used to help carry the soil!
No matter how strong they are, what's the use? They are still doing the same work as the servants of the second uncle's family!
When Feng Da, Feng Er and his entourage arrived, the men greeted the men, while the five women, Li Dani and Erni, greeted Wang Guifen and other women.
"Dani, why are there nine more donkeys all of a sudden?" Zhao Lan stepped forward and asked excitedly.
Others strained their ears to listen.
Li Dani and others were told by Shui Qing what to say, and now she smiled and raised her voice: "My boss said that there is a lot of work at home, so we should buy some animals to help, so that we will not be too tired, and we can continue to do other work later."
"Aren't these donkeys worth a lot of money?" Aunt Li asked enviously.
"Isn't that right? It's too expensive! But the owner said it's okay, and also said that if someone can buy it, he will buy a careful girl to help the lady."
Aunt Zhang was shocked, "Aren't the five of you enough to start with?"
"Hey, we are so clumsy, how can we help Madam? Besides, we are very strong, so it is best left to do farm work in the fields."
Aunt Zhang thought the same thing, and Zhang Xiaocao next to her had bright eyes and asked, "Do you think I can do it?"
She wanted to follow sister-in-law Shui Qing, earn some money to live a good life for her mother, and learn some skills!
Wang Qiuyue smiled and joked: "You can't do it, your mother can't let it go. Our wife wants to buy someone. Ask my aunt if she can let it go?"
As soon as they heard that it was a buyer, the other families who were interested were immediately discouraged.
Fan Qian's heart moved.
Sun Jinhua made a sound and muttered: "I really don't know how much I'm worth, so many servants are not enough? I need to buy more people! I'm not afraid of losing my life."
"Shut up!" Fan Qian glared at her fiercely.
Sun Jinhua didn't know why the boss was so angry, so she closed her mouth in anger.
Zhou Yu and Zheng Yan had been paying attention to Fan Qian's family silently, and when they saw that they all heard a wink towards Dani and the others.
The five people found an open space, picked up their hoes, and started digging.
Feng Da and other men were divided into groups. Some of the men were responsible for loading the donkey carts, and some were responsible for driving the carts to the fields. They would then switch over when they came back, so that they could rest while driving the carts.
Basket after basket of soil was loaded onto the donkey carts in a steady stream. When one donkey cart was full, it set off first, and the next one loaded it on top.
Donkey carts ply on the road, forming a long and endless convoy.
Seeing Li Dani and other five women working, the people in the village were shocked!
How can he be more powerful than these guys!
In the time it took them to dig one basket of soil, Li Dani and the others had already dug two baskets. They were not as strong as women at all.
Fan Erzhu and the others lowered their heads unconsciously, their faces gloomy and ugly. They were actually outclassed by several women!
It’s not that the competition is over, it’s that we are stepping in a puddle!
"Who are the men and women? When the five of us were in Zhuangzi, there were many men who couldn't compare to us!"
"Besides, after coming here, not only eating three times a day, but also doing something for every meal, how can I lose my energy?"
After a woman asked, the five people replied with smiles.
Fan Erzhu and the others even bit their back molars until they were broken.
A group of servants actually eat three meals a day?
There is still something to do in Dunton!
What kind of property is this? The second uncle and the second aunt can’t live a good life. Do you know how to treat the servants?
Do they think they are magistrates of Wu County? No, Fan Damu only did two jobs in Wu County magistrate's house.
Li Dani and the other five glanced at Fan Qian's family and wondered if they would jump up if they knew that what they were eating was corn noodles, and that they could sometimes eat porridge made with white rice, or mix white noodles with gnocchi.
"My boss went to Fucheng today and bought donkeys, black noodles, and even a lot of pork suet. He divided it among the four of us according to the number of people."
"We said that the jar of lard we got last time hasn't been touched, but my wife said that we have to do heavy physical work during this period, so we should put more lard in cooking, and the lard residue can also be used to stew dishes. This is used to replenish physical strength during the busy farming season."
"When we think about eating meat when we go home, we are full of energy!"
"The boss also gave each of us a lot of chickens, ducks and geese. The boss said that meat may not be eaten every day, but eggs can still be eaten.
Our boss is so good that there is nothing to say!"
"I'm afraid you can't find such a good one outside. The boss said that if you do a good job in the future, there will be rewards."
......
Listening to the cheerful chat over there, the Fan Qian family felt that tomorrow's rolls would not be fragrant.
Lard residue, lard, chickens, ducks, geese, and eggs! They can't eat these a few times a year.
Especially lard residue and lard, that is real oil and water. If you put a spoonful of lard in a dish, the dish will have the smell of meat, which is very fragrant.
If you use lard to mix rice, the taste... Fan Erzhu and the other two swallowed hard.
Fan Qian took a deep breath and said, "Dad has an idea. How about telling you?"
Fan Erzhu and the other two looked up at Fan Qian.
What good ideas can Dad have?
Don't you want to borrow a donkey cart from your second uncle? But you have borrowed it before, and it doesn't work at all.
"It's about recruiting a younger brother..."
