Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

At noon, Chen Afu packed up and took Dabao to Carpenter Wu's house. She was unwilling to move the old cabinets and tables to her new home and wanted to buy some new furniture.

Walking all the way through the village, I attracted a lot of attention and gifts.

Several middle-aged women particularly disliked her. In view of her toughness, they did not dare to offend her. They only dared to whisper, Just like us, they are all country people, but they insist on pretending to be city people. Human behavior.”

Chen Afu didn't hear this, otherwise she would have cried out for injustice. How could she be pretending? She is still trying hard to get closer to the image of the villagers in Xiangluo Village, okay? There was a patch on the right shoulder of her clothes, and the dark green skirt was washed white. She was naked, wearing a bamboo hat, and even walked with her head slightly lowered.

Carpenter Wu is the most skilled carpenter in this area, and many families from neighboring towns come here to buy items. His family is also the richest family in Xiangluo Village except the Gaoli Zheng family.

The Wu family is a courtyard with two entrances. The first entrance is the workshop. There are furniture, buckets and basins everywhere in the courtyard. Wu Carpenter, who is in his forties, is busy with his two sons. The eldest son is Xiao Shitou's father Wu Changgen, and the second son is Chen Aju's sweetheart Wu Changsheng.

Wu Changsheng is seventeen years old. Although he is a bit dark, he is tall, has good facial features, and has a certain skill. It is said that he has captured the hearts of many girls. But because of his high vision, he vowed to find a particularly charming girl, so he still couldn't find a wife at such an old age, which made his parents extremely anxious.

As soon as Chen Dabao entered, he greeted loudly, Grandpa Wu, Uncle Wu, and Uncle Wu, my new house has been repaired and I want to buy some beautiful household items.

The Wu family father and son were very familiar with Dabao and liked him, so they both stood up and said hello with a smile. Carpenter Wu also said, Whatever Dabao likes, grandpa will give you a cheaper one.

Chen Dabao smiled and said, That's a good feeling. Thank you, Grandpa Wu. I appreciate your kindness.

This made Carpenter Wu laugh. He patted Chen Dabao on the head and said, Good boy, my little Shitou is getting closer to you, and his little mouth is much sweeter than before.

Wu Changsheng smiled and greeted Chen Afu, Sister Afu, let's see which ones you like.

Because his face is dark, his teeth appear whiter. She has single eyelids and her eyes curve into crescent shapes when she smiles. Although there are sawdust on the body, it can still be seen that the clothes are washed very clean.

This man should be the cleanest ancient little farmer Chen Afu has ever encountered when he traveled through time. Moreover, he is open-minded and generous in his dealings.

Chen Afu couldn't help but have a better impression of him. She took off her bamboo hat and talked about what she needed for her home with a smile, such as a kang cabinet, a kang table, a table, a box, a cupboard and other large items, as well as six high stools, two small stools, a large wooden basin, and three small wooden basins. A basin and two buckets.

Although she didn't plan to live in that small thatched house for a long time, she would still live there for at least a year. So I have everything I should have, but I won’t do too much.

Wu Changsheng enthusiastically showed her around the furniture. The furniture made by his family is divided into several grades. Some are made of good wood, polished smooth, painted and carved. Some were made from leftover materials and were not even painted. The former was too good for her to afford, and the latter was too bad for her to use. She took a fancy to the middle-to-lower price range, the wood was not very good, and it was not carved but painted. Except for the cupboard and kang cabinet, everything else is ready-made. We agreed to send those two to her home together when they were ready.

Calculated, these things cost about six hundred and twenty coins. Wu Changsheng grinned with his white teeth and said, Dabao and Xiao Shitou played very well. You bought more again, so I will charge you a round number, always five hundred coins. Bar.

Chen Dabao quickly thanked him.

Originally, Carpenter Wu had generously offered to write off twenty cents if he wanted to be an acquaintance, but when he saw that his son had received so much less money, he was so angry that he glared at him and could not say anything more.

Wu Changgen also didn't expect that his younger brother could set the price beyond his father and lower it so much. He looked at him twice and said nothing.

Chen Afu said embarrassedly, How can I let you lower the price so much? It's as much as it should be.

Wu Changsheng quickly said, The discount is not much. Other customers who bought more have the same discount.

Chen Afu thanked him and paid a deposit of three hundred yuan. Chen Dabao still wanted to stay at Wu's house to play, but Chen Afu didn't agree and said he would go to Guqiao Village to see if there was any meat for sale. As soon as Chen Dabao heard about buying meat, he immediately followed his mother.

Chen Afu wanted to go to a restaurant in the county town tomorrow to see if he could sell the braised food recipe. She only had thirty taels of silver and a few hundred coins left in her hand, so she couldn't take out the big silver ingots and let the Wu family make change.

She also didn't want to make money by selling braised food. Running a food stall business was too hard, and she didn't have anyone to spare at home. If the braised meat in the county is really like braised pork, it would be better to sell the recipe and get whatever you want.

Guqiao Village is to the west of Xiangluo Village and can be reached in less than a quarter of an hour. There was only one pair of pig intestines, a small strip of lean meat, and two pig bones left on the meat stall. Ancient people did not like to eat lean meat, but lean meat is very delicious when braised.

Chen Afu bought both pig intestines and lean meat, spending thirty-six cents.

When Chen Dabao saw so much meat bought, he asked, Mom, do we want to treat our family?

Chen Afu smiled and said, You can't eat meat without a treat?

Chen Dabao said, No, I just want to wait until grandma and uncle come back so that we can buy so many delicious foods.

Chen Afu squeezed his little hand and said, What a good boy. Mom bought so much meat for a purpose.

As soon as I got home, I saw Jin Yanzi leading Qi Qi and Hui Hui. They were making quacking noises in the yard. Chen Ming looked at them and smiled while weaving a straw mat.

The golden swallow hung on Chen Afu and chirped, Our new house has been repaired. I will lead them to live in the new house at night, so I won't disturb grandpa.

Chen Afu smiled and said Welcome.

Qiqi and Huihui shouted to her happily, Mother, mother. If they had turned their backs, they would have thought it was Dabao calling.

Then, he shouted to Dabao, Dabao, Dabao. The voice sounded like Chen Alu again.

Chen Ming saw that Chen Afu had so much meat in his hand and said disapprovingly, There are only three of us, why would we buy so much meat? We have to spend the money slowly.

Chen Afu smiled and said, I want to braise these things and take them to the county town tomorrow to see if I can sell the braised recipe.

When she was taking the large intestine to wash, she also asked Dabao to take three little things to play in the new yard. She saw people passing by her house looking into the yard, fearing that someone might have bad intentions for them. As long as Hui Hui doesn't talk, no one will look down on him. The main reason is that Qi Qi is so good-looking. The walls of the new courtyard are high and no one can see them.

The Golden Swallow chirped, Mommy is too careful. If those people make up their mind, they will fly into the sky. Besides, they are two of the smartest birds in the forest. Even if they are captured, they can still find their way home.

Chen Afu said softly, What if he is locked up?

Jin Yanzi said, I will find a way to get them back.

Chen Afu listened and ignored them.
