Chapter 55 Buying a Donkey
She got up early the next morning. After washing the bean sprouts, she turned around and pushed the stone mill to grind the beans.
But just after grinding, Gu Chengrui rushed back to pick it up and said, "Leave this to me, you can go back to sleep for a while, but don't catch a cold."
"It's okay, I slept in the space yesterday, and I feel better now." Zhou Ying changed the subject and asked, "By the way, what's the situation over there, is it better now?"
"Fortunately, I gave him a special anti-inflammatory drug before going to bed yesterday, otherwise it would be really dangerous, and he still had a fever in the middle of the night.
But it was stable when I came back. I'll have a look when I get back from town. If I don't have a fever, it should be fine. After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he started to grind.
Zhou Ying didn't say anything after hearing this, but started scooping the beans with a spoon.
But in the end, she only made a plate of tofu according to Chef Zhou's request, and after cooking the soy milk, she picked out a few bean skins to make yuba, and pressed the rest into dried tofu.
In the end, there were two bowls of soy milk left. Zhou Ying took a bag of semi-finished fried dough sticks in the space and fried them. The two had a warm breakfast.
After dinner, Zhou Ying marinated the tofu, sealed the fire, and went to the town with Gu Chengrui. One was to see if the tofu could pass the customs, and the other was to buy a donkey cart to come back.
Zhou Ying's skill in making tofu is quite good, so Chef Zhou happily handed over the job to them and ordered two plates of tofu every day.
But the price is a penny cheaper than the outside price, which is four cents a pound. Fortunately, the couple is satisfied without having to sell it.
After leaving the Hongyun Building, the two walked around the market, bought ten catties of spare ribs, and finally transferred to the livestock market.
As soon as he came in, a man in his twenties warmly greeted him and said, "You two are not buying oxen. The two-year-old farm ox is only 15 taels of silver."
"Cattle?" Gu Chengrui asked.
"It's a scalper, and we can't raise buffalo in the weather here."
"Is there a donkey or a mule?"
The man immediately lowered his enthusiasm when he heard it, but still said: "There's a donkey, I'll show you guys over there."
After finished speaking, he took the two of them to a corner, and when they arrived, he said to the old man who was feeding the donkey, "Uncle Sun, I brought you the one who bought the donkey."
"Okay, thank you Erzi, please have beef noodles for lunch."
"Then I can wait." After the man finished speaking, he pointed at Gu Chengrui and his wife, turned and ran away.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui nodded to Uncle Sun, then observed the three donkeys in front of him, and finally chose the one on the far left, then went forward to check the donkey's mouth, and asked after confirming that it was not more than two years later: "How do you sell this donkey, Uncle Sun?"
"I didn't expect the little brother to be an expert. I will tell you that this donkey was just received, just grown and fat. If you want a price of 10 taels, I will send you an elm trolley. ." After Sun Boshang finished speaking, he pointed to one place.
Gu Chengrui turned his head and saw that it was a brand new donkey cart.
stepped forward and took a look. Except the wheels are made of wood, everything else is very satisfied, even the saddle is equipped.
"Then do you always have a whip? Give me another whip, so I don't have to do it again."
"The whip is easy to talk about, I'll give it to you." After Sun Bo finished speaking, he took out a hemp whip from the side and threw it at him.
"Thank you." Gu Chengrui took over and cupped his hands.
Then she looked at Zhou Ying, Zhou Ying handed over a golden round treasure of fifty taels when she saw this, and the remaining five taels were all broken silver and copper plates.
