Chapter 583 Peasant Woman 11
The little donkey looked only the size of an adult little native dog. It looked very pitiful as it cuddled up next to the female donkey. Tan You had always been a little patient with the cubs, and her heart moved with compassion, so the old Chen family got two more mounts.
It's just that one is still in its infancy. It will probably take another year or two before it can be put to use. Tan You is not in a hurry. Raising so many babies means raising a little donkey, so this one is the best.
Tan You sighed and patted the little donkey on the head: "From now on, you will be called Xiaozao, and your mother will be called Dazao."
Together with the frame at the back, it is quite expensive. Tan You has fifteen taels of silver. If it weren't for the fact that the female donkey had just given birth and was injured, she would have been far out of reach at this price.
When they came out of the horse market, only the youngest Chen Xing was sitting on the carriage holding the donkey, while the other four were all on foot.
Tan You looked at Chen Yue: "When you are tired, take the donkey cart."
Chen Yue rolled her calves: "Mom, I'm not tired, just in case I get exhausted from a handful of jujubes What should I do? If I walk a little longer, Dazao can rest a little longer."
Tan You rubbed Dazao's head: "Okay, if we don't sit there, Dazao won't be that tired now. I'm going to buy something else. What do you want to buy?"
Chen Xi considered the real things at home: "Mom, I don't want anything, I have it all at home."
Anwen was very sensible: "Auntie, I don't have what I want."
Chen Yue licked her lips: "Auntie, I want to eat meat."
Chen Xi glared at Chen Yue: "Our family has been eating well recently, why are you always craving for meat?"
Chen Yue muttered: "It's all lean meat and oil residue, and it's all stir-fried. Mom, I want to eat some." Braised in brown sauce."
Tan You: "It's not that I'm harsh on you, it's because we haven't had enough food for a long time, and suddenly our stomachs can't bear the big fish and meat, and it's easy to get upset."
"Actually, I want to eat meat too, let's go buy meat."
As soon as Tan You spoke, Chen Xi said nothing. Chen Yue wrinkled her nose proudly at Chen Xi, and Tan You patted Chen Yue's forehead upon seeing this: "It's just for the sake of the family, and I don't mean to treat you harshly. We should be diligent and thrifty at ordinary times."
Chen Yue took Chen Xi's hand: "Sister, I was wrong."
Chen Xi was not really angry. Now that Tan You was on her side, she just said: "I'm not angry. I just feel that it’s not easy for my mother to make money, and we shouldn’t spend money indiscriminately.”
Tan You usually doesn’t intervene in conflicts between children, but when it comes to major issues, Tan You will intervene forcefully. So she just watched a few children talking and walked slowly to one side holding Dazao.
After buying pork suet and various parts of the pig at the pork stall, Tan You returned home satisfied. Not only the children are hungry for meat, but Tan You is also hungry, okay?
Talk about modern society, who doesn’t eat meat every day? Even before she encountered the beauty system, Tan Deming would buy meat once a month. It's like in ancient times, you might not get meat once a year.
In the past half month, Tan You has been making fine meat, from making soup at first to stir-frying later. I don’t dare to eat too greasy food for fear of damaging my stomach.
Now that he is almost back to health, Tan You plans to have some fun today.
When Tan You led Dazao back to the village, the whole Miaogou Village was in a sensation. Old Chen's family used to be the poorest family in the village. There were only a group of women and children left in the family. Now she actually bought a donkey? And I bought two of them at once. Although the big one looks sick and the small one is of no use for the time being, the donkey is still a big animal. Looking at what Tan You and the children were wearing, everyone was envious.
You must know that only the village chief has an ox cart at home, but the cow is old and the village chief is reluctant to use it. It is very precious.
Countless people came to Lao Chen’s house at one time, almost half of the village came. Of course, it was mainly the women's soldiers. The men, taking into account their status and the differences between men and women, just stood outside the yard.
Faced with the inquiries from her aunts and uncles, Tan You didn’t say a word. She just sent some soap to Sihai for groceries in the morning, without signing a formal contract, and she hadn’t even met the owner behind Sihai. , Tan You is not in a hurry to let the clan know about Soap.
So Tan You just did Tai Chi with these ladies, talking a lot of nonsense but not saying anything useful. Chen Xi and An Wen felt it was eye-opening to hear that they could actually talk like this?
Seeing that it was dinner time and everyone was leaving even if they didn't want to leave, a carriage drove into the village. The driver looked around and saw that his destination was very clear, heading towards Lao Chen's house.
"Ms. Wang, are you at home?" Just as the villagers were about to leave, a voice sounded outside the courtyard. An Wen's ears tipped: "Auntie, it's Shopkeeper Fan's voice."
Tan You already knew who the visitor was, and she couldn't help but smile: "Everyone, I have guests today, and it's not convenient to entertain so many. I will leave the clan leader and several clan elders at home to accompany the guests."
Clan leader Chen Tianshui was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses: "Yes, yes, you all go back first, and we will talk about it later."
The aunts and uncles don’t want to leave, and they all look forward to it. Tan You didn't care about them and just led An Wen and Chen Xi out of the courtyard. As soon as they went out, they saw men in their mid-thirties getting off the carriage.
"Mrs. Wang, this is our boss Xue from Sihai Grocery. He just happened to arrive at the shop today. It's a pity that you walked too fast and we didn't catch up with you."
As the middleman, Shopkeeper Fan first asked Tan You introduced the visitor. Tan You looked at the other person. He was dressed with a sense of nobility.
"Xue Dongjia, please come in. This is the leader of our Chen clan, and these are the clan elders." Since Tan You kept the clan here, he naturally wanted to take advantage of the clan's power. .
In the final analysis, she is alone. Even though Shopkeeper Fan is a good person, she has never really met Xue Guanglin. What if the other party bullies her and takes away her recipe?
The clan leader and elders are puzzled, but they will not tear down Tan You at this time. To put it bluntly, the original owner is the Chen family's daughter-in-law, and her matter becomes the matter of the entire clan.
If you have anything to do, you can wait until the person leaves to talk about it, but now you should unanimously disclose it to the outside world.
Xue Guanglin couldn't help but be stunned when he saw so many people in the yard. He also reacted very quickly: "It's an unlucky time for me to come. I didn't know that the eldest lady was going to entertain guests today."
Tan You smiled and said: "I've always been a straightforward person. Are you here for the soap? ”
Xue Guanglin had long heard from Shopkeeper Fan that this Madam Wang liked to be straightforward. He didn't hesitate: "Yes, the soap and scented soap that Madam sent to the shop today are all sold out."
"Does Madam really have no intention of selling Zi?"
Tan You laughed and said: "I will definitely not sell the prescription. Selling the prescription is like killing a chicken to retrieve the eggs. Dong Xue is a businessman, so he naturally understands what I mean."
Xue Guanglin sighed: "Yes, the eldest lady has a long-term vision. It’s just that Sihai also has a shop in Fucheng. I wonder if the lady can meet Sihai’s needs?”
Thank you for your recommendation and monthly tickets, thank you all!
