Chapter 528 Boots

Gu Dashan asked Qin Sanlang to stop the mule cart: "Xiaoyu and I will go find Mr. Mi. You can send Sanbo and the others back."

Qin Sanlang responded, but said to Gu Qingliang: "Brother Qingliang, come and practice your skills."

 Ever since Gu Jinli’s family bought a mule cart, the family began to learn how to drive a mule cart. But with few cars and many people, Gu Qingliang had never had a chance to practice. He was very happy when he heard this and ran over to Gu Dashan and said: "Uncle Dashan, can I give it a try?"

 Gu Dashan has a good temper, so he will naturally not object: "Sure, you practice, but be careful not to bump into talented people."

After hearing this, Gu Qingliang became a little scared and said to Gu Dalin who was not far away: "Uncle, come and teach me."

His brother-in-law learned the fastest and is now able to drive a mule cart to the county seat.

After hearing this, Gu Dalin came over, sat on the front panel, and taught Gu Qingliang.

Gu Dashan and Gu Jinli got off the mule cart, went to the braised meat shop to get a basket of braised meat, and then went to the bamboo forest behind the shop.

Qin Sanlang has been following them silently. Gu Dashan and Gu Jinli seem to be used to it and don't think there is anything wrong with Qin Sanlang following them.

Gu Jinli also disliked Qin Sanlang for walking too slowly, so he turned around and said to him: "Brother Qin, walk faster. We have to rush back to the village after we finish talking."

 With such long legs, why does he walk so slowly?

Qin Sanlang laughed after hearing this, followed up with a few big steps, took the basket in her hand and said, "I'll get it."

Gu Jinli was not polite to him and asked him to take the basket.

It was past noon, and Mr. Mi had just caught up on his sleep. When he saw Gu Jinli and the other three, he asked, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Old lady Mi said dissatisfied: "You old man, you can't come here if you have nothing to do? Do you think your home is a golden nest? It's just a broken house. You can just have fun when guests come. Why don't you hurry up and get a stool?" They sit on the mountain."

Old man Mi knew that Mrs. Mi was bored, and he was eager for someone to come home to not spoil her mood, so he yawned and went back to the house to get a stool.

 Qin Sanlang followed him in.

Old man Mi actually heard Qin Sanlang's footsteps with good hearing, and turned around to stop him: "You don't need to come in, kid. It's just a few stools. The old man can handle them."

Qin Sanlang smiled, turned around and came out without saying anything else.

Not long after, Mr. Mila took out some stools and put them outside the house: "Sit down."

"Thank you, Grandpa Mi." Gu Jinli said, took the braised food from Qin Sanlang, and handed it to Mrs. Mi: "Grandma Mi, this is the braised food from the shop. I'll give it to you to try."

Mrs. Mi was not polite to them. She took the stewed food and sighed: "There are too many meat stewed dishes. There is more than half of the basket. I will just get some vegetarian stewed food next time. Our teeth are not very good. We eat vegetarian stewed food." Chew better."

Gu Jinli said: "Grandma Mi, this meat stew is fatter and thinner, and it's also easy to chew."

Although the old man and his wife are old, they are not old enough to chew meat. They just know that meat is expensive and cannot just eat their meat braised in vain.

After hearing this, Mrs. Mi took the braised meat into the house with a smile, and soon brought them a basket and a bag of dried bamboo shoots: "These are dug when the bamboo shoots are at their best. Have they been put away just after they are dried?" How long will it take? You can take it back and eat it. It tastes great and has a special chewy texture."

Gu Jinli thanked the old lady Mi and took it with a smile.

Old man Mi asked them: "What brings you here?" It was impossible to come here specifically to see the old couple.

Gu Dashan told them his purpose.

Mr. Mi was surprised when he heard this: "You bought Songzi Village? You want to invite us, the old couple, to see the village?"

Songzi Village is what the old people in the town call Zoujiazhuangzi outside the town. It is named after the two pine trees behind Zhuangzi. Gu Dashan nodded: "Well, it was Xiaoyu's idea. I also asked Uncle Mi for a favor, so I agreed."

Old man Mi was silent, which made old woman Mi anxious: "Old man, why are you pretending to be mute when you speak?"

 It would be a pity not to accept such a good job.

Mr. Mi glared at Mrs. Mi and asked Gu Jinli: "Girl, why do you invite us to see Zhuangzi? Seeing Zhuangzi is a very lucrative job. You should find someone you trust to see it, or simply buy someone to watch it. .”

　　It’s not their turn as a couple.

"Grandpa Mi and Grandma Mi are people we can trust." Gu Jinli said: "You two have been able to help Huyun watch guard this wasteland for many years. Needless to say, you are the most trustworthy people. We also trust you two. As for buying It also takes time for servants to visit Zhuangzi. It is impossible to buy the servant you like just by buying Zhuangzi today."

"There are still crops growing in that farm. It's September now, and the crops are about to ear. We have to quickly ask someone to watch them, and then arrange for someone to carry water and fertilize so that the rice ears can be filled and grained. Otherwise, this season's harvest will be lost. Ruined in vain.”

Mrs. Mi urged Old Man Mi: "You old man, if you don't agree quickly, the most abundant thing in Songzi Village is rice. Rice is so valuable. If you delay, you don't know how much food will be wasted."

 Gu Jinli knew what Old Man Mi was worried about, so he simply said: "If Grandpa Mi is undecided, you can send a letter to Huyun Temple and ask. The owner of the temple will definitely agree if he knows."

Old man Mi narrowed his eyes when he heard it, glanced at Gu Jinli, and said after a while: "...Well, let me help you read it for a while. As for whether I want to help you continue to read it in the future, we will talk about it later."

 This is what it means to go to Huyun Temple to ask Guanzhu Hu.

Gu Jinli nodded and agreed: "Okay, then you can watch it for us for a while first."

He then said to Gu Dashan: "Dad, give me some money."

 She is poor and has no money now.

 Gu Dashan took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to Mr. Mi: "You should take this money first. It contains wages for you and your wife, as well as wages for hiring people to tend the crops. Thank you for your trouble."

The old man Mi was not polite and accepted the money: "If there is anything left, I will return it to you."

Then he said: "Songzi Village is not far from us, just outside the town. My old man has no other skills, but after living in the town all his life, I still know a lot of people in these ten miles and eight villages. You don't have to do the farm work in the village. Don't worry, the old man can find someone to do it for you. You won't worry about the things in the farm either. As long as the old man is watching, no one will dare to sneak into the farm to harvest crops."

 Food is expensive. In the countryside, whenever the grain is ripe, there will always be people who secretly cut other people's grain at night, but Mr. Mi is a senior old man in the town. As long as he speaks, no one usually dares to steal.

Gu Dashan was very happy after hearing this. After thanking Mr. Mi, he took Gu Jinli and Qin Sanlang away.

As for the contract, it needs to be formally agreed by the old man before it can be signed.

On the way, Qin Sanlang was carrying dried bamboo shoots and deliberately lagged a distance while looking at Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli found out and said to Gu Dashan: "Dad, I'm going to help Brother Qin get something."

Gu Dashan was the most tolerant to the children. He smiled and nodded: "Go, take your time. If you are tired, just bring the dried bamboo shoots. Dad will hold them for you."

"Hey." Gu Jinli responded, ran to Qin Sanlang, took the basket in his hand, and asked, "What did you see?"

　　Must have seen something at Milao Weng's house, otherwise he wouldn't have given her a special wink.

Qin Sanlang said: "A pair of boots, long straight horse leather boots."
