Chapter 73: Means of Transportation
"Actually..., Dad..." just now rejected Lao Liu's opinion, and exchanged all the fields for wasteland at once, Liu Yiyi was afraid that Lao Liu would not be happy, so he wanted to open his mouth to explain to Liu honestly.
As a result, as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Liu Laoshi's waving hand, and Lao Liu looked at Liu Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, you don't have to say anything more, Dad understands." From today on, you have your own land, you are already a real adult, you have the right to decide the distribution of your own land, and all Dad can do is to give you some personal opinions, and it is mainly up to you to do what to do. However, no matter what choice you make, Dad will support you. ”
"Daddy.." Seeing that Lao Liu was rare and enlightened, Liu Yiyi was slightly moved in his heart. I think this old willow is still a qualified father.
"Alright, alright, now that the matter has been decided, don't bring it up again." Liu Laoshi entered the house with his hands behind his back, and instructed Liu Yiyi: "You go and wake up your mother, prepare some food, we still need to go to the county seat to buy things in a while, and we can't delay." ”
"Got it, Dad." Liu Yiyi answered, and went into the back room.
After breakfast, the two of them each went out with a basket on their backs.
Hike.
To be honest, after coming to the Tang Dynasty for so long, Liu Yiyi was already a little sick to his stomach just walking. In the past, when he went out, he was either a taxi or a bus, and no matter how bad it was, he would have a bicycle to travel, which is like now, no matter where he goes, what he does, he has to rely on two feet. Slowly, at the end of the day, the stinky sweat on both feet alone is enough to kill two cows.
No, you have to buy a tool that can get around. Otherwise, he would have to be tormented to death by the speed and the stench on his feet.
But what to buy?
Carriage? Too extravagant to raise.
Oxcart? Well, that's like walking faster.
Donkey? Alas, if only there were a mule. Liu Yiyi suddenly remembered the mule, a non-native creature between a horse and a donkey.
The mule is a new species of male horse and female donkey, or male donkey and female cross. It is faster than a donkey, smaller in body than a horse, and much stronger than a horse and a donkey. It is simply an excellent tool for family travel and transportation. It's just a pity that in this era, mules are rare.
Therefore, Liu Yiyi's last choice is only a donkey.
Liu Yiyi stepped forward and took two steps, walked shoulder to shoulder with Lao Liu, who was walking in front, and discussed with Lao Liu: "Dad, let's go into the city this time, and buy a donkey by the way, right?" In the future, I will carry something and go far away, so I can have it to travel. Then we don't have to work so hard anymore. ”
"Donkey?" Lao Liu stopped and took a breath, frowning, a donkey must at least have to be a silver coin, that's not a decimal. Isn't it a bit of a waste just to use it for transportation? He replied: "No need, it's useless to buy it back, it's just a waste of some forage, there's no need for that." ”
I knew that Lao Liu would be reluctant, Liu honestly belonged to the kind of person who liked to keep money in his hands, and if it was not necessary, he would never spend a penny indiscriminately. What's more, the price of a donkey is almost equal to his savings for a year.
Liu Yiyi shook his head and discussed with Lao Liu to buy a donkey, which was a wrong choice. This is not only a matter of money, but more importantly, the difference in consumption concepts. It's like wearing clothes, some people can do anything, while others can't do it without a famous brand. There is no right or wrong, just different opinions.
"But if you're really tired, it doesn't hurt to buy one." Lao Liu suddenly remembered that his son was already a person who was about to get married, so he said: "In the future, you can also use it when you send Chu Chu back to her parents' house." Although our Lao Liu family is not rich, we can't let the girl walk back, right? ”
"Huh?" This old willow's thinking jump is really not ordinarily fast, how can he jump to the new daughter-in-law returning to her parents' house all of a sudden? It seems that his original intention to buy a donkey was purely to travel, and it has little to do with this mother's family or not.
"Alright, let's hurry." Lao Liu urged: "It will be there in two moments at most." Didn't you always carry a whole basket of white sap to the city to sell it in the city? I've never heard you call me tired before, why do you feel tired today when you only carry an empty basket? ”
When Liu Yiyi heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and glance at Lao Liu, hundreds of catties of cabbage, saying that he was not tired, who would believe it? It's just that I didn't have money before, so I was forced? At that time, I was so tired that I couldn't breathe, and I couldn't carry it on my back?
Seeing that Lao Liu had already gone away, Liu Yiyi also picked up the basket and rushed up.
When he arrived in Sanyuan County, Liu Yiyi had to go to the county government because he had something to do, and Lao Liu was inconvenient to accompany him, so the father and son made an appointment to meet at a time and place to go to work.
Originally, there was a division of labor among the specialists in opening a workshop, and it was not directly managed by Li Zhide, the county leader. But if this matter is taken care of by the county lord, it will be much easier and simpler for him to do things.
Li Zhide met Liu Ichichi in the living room. It is a private meeting.
Because he had just sent away Lord Li Jihe from the capital yesterday, Li Zhide let out a long breath both physically and psychologically. You don't have to worry about dealing with it all day long, for fear that something will go wrong. So when he met Liu Yiyi, Li Zhide's mood was also relatively relaxed and happy.
Li Zhide sat in the main hall, looked at Liu Yiyi with a smile, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but Brother Liu is getting more and more energetic." Hehe, the group of night fragrant langs that Brother Liu took over last time were quite obedient? ”
"Thanks to the big one, everything is going well." Liu Yiyi thanked him and said, "Last time, thanks to the help of adults, otherwise it would be difficult to raise enough fertilizer for the small people's fields until now." ”
"Eh, Brother Liu, don't say that." Li Zhide waved his hand and said: "This is a reciprocal thing, didn't Brother Liu also save a lot of expenses in the yamen?" ”
Li Zhide smiled and took a sip of the tea bowl, looked at Liu Yiyi, and said, "Little Brother Liu came here this time, it's not just as simple as saying thank you, right?" Hehe, there's something but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. As long as what Brother Liu said is not illegal, Li will help him. ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Liu Yiyi got up and saluted Li Zhide, and said, "Don't hide it from Lord Li, one is that you want to set up a workshop." ”
"Workshop?" When Li Zhide heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Liu, isn't it, you actually want to abandon agriculture and start business?!" ”
