Chapter 51 Borrowing Money

Early the next morning, the sound of roosters crowing in the countryside came one after another. Chen Wanniang and Ma Yulan wore thick cotton coats and left Qingquan Village together, and walked to Fushan Village under the snow.

Fushan Village is much larger than Qingquan Village, and there are more fields here. Ma Yulan said that Fushan Village is richer than Qingquan Village.

Chen Wanniang nodded in agreement. A village with good location and good fields will definitely be much better than the mountains.

But farming is not the only way out.

As he spoke, Ma Yulan stopped first, pointed to the door of a large house in front and said, "My wife, look, we are here. This is Zhao Qianzhu's family."

Chen Wanniang looked around at the big mansion of the rich man Zhao's family.

This is really big.

Generally, the family of the village house only has one small courtyard and three or five houses.

The new houses that Old Man Huo built for Huo Junan were five, and it was already the best-selling family in Qingquan Village.

But now, the house of Zhao Caizhu’s family has two courtyards and two large courtyards, and the main rooms inside are at least a dozen.

Chen Wanniang was envious of seeing it. Sooner or later, she would make the Huo family a rich man.

There was a woman in front of the rich man Zhao’s house who was sweeping the yard.

Ma Yulan walked over first and greeted: "Pole Li, get up so early to clean."

"Yes, our Zhao family is concerned about others. It has to be clean and neat at all times." Although Li Po was just a servant, her eyes were about to fly into the sky.

Ma Yulan doesn't like this kind of person who relies on people's power, and her face turns a lot colder, "Let's buy chickens."

"Okay, come with me."

The broom stood at the door, and Chen Wanniang and Ma Yulan followed the Li Po into the yard.

There was indeed a collapsed chicken coop in the northeast corner of the yard. Now the chicken coop is broken, and a large group of hundreds of chickens have to be fenced first with wooden fences. Many chickens inside were crushed and limped.

Despite this, these chickens are well-raised, large in size and bright in color.

"Buy a few? Are you going to live or die?" Li Po stood against the wall next to him, and her eyelids didn't raise her eyelids.

They are just two poor families, so at most they can buy two dead chickens to satisfy their cravings.

Chen Wanniang carefully observed the chickens in the fence for a while, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, and said, "How much money do you live? How much money do you die?"

"A pound of ten cents per pound of living, and a pound of six cents per pound of dead."

"What about those injured?" Chen Wanniang asked.

Po Li was impatient and exhaled heavily, "Don't the injured ones also live? Have you grown your brain?"

"But the one who was injured is already injured. He will not be able to recover for a while. He will definitely not be able to compete with a good chicken. The hen is frightened and cannot lay eggs, and the rooster does not have meat. How can it be done?"

"Hey, you have so many people, are you going to buy it?"

"Buy it, but I want to buy more. You shouldn't count it. It's better to call your owner out and say it."

"I've said it's not over yet, haha..."

“Twenty.”

Before Li Po could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chen Wanniang.

Po Li was startled, "Do you really buy twenty?"

"really."

Po Li couldn't help but glance at Chen Wanniang a few more times.

Which village does this woman come from? She can get twenty chickens at one move. This is too...

She really didn't dare to make decisions anymore, so she went into the house to find someone who could make decisions.

Ma Yulan also looked at Chen Wanniang in surprise.

When Li Po came out again, she followed a young girl with a smile.

"Chun Jie'er, this time a big customer has arrived. He bought twenty chickens at the beginning of his mouth."

"Are you going to buy chicken?" The young girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a melon-shaped face, a peach-pink jacket and skirt, and a silk handkerchief in her hand, looking delicate and charming, and a jasper in her family.

"It's us." Chen Wanniang smiled, "You are the lady of the Zhao family, right?"

"Yes, I am my father's eldest daughter, my name is Zhao Yingchun." Zhao Yingchun smiled and pointed at the chicken coop in front of him, "What chickens do you want to buy? If you want more, I can give you some cheaper."

"It's these hurt roosters, I want twenty." Chen Wanniang said.

"If you want so much, then we will be cheaper." Zhao Yingchun thought for a while, "In this way, we sell nine pounds per pound on weekdays. Since the lady wants more, then just seven pounds. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yulan stared at Li Po as if she understood something, "It turned out to be Jiu..."

Chen Wanniang secretly pulled Ma Yulan's clothes and signaled her not to say anything first.

Ma Yulan calmed down.

Chen Wanniang said, "Since Miss Zhao is so happy, I naturally can't ask for a price cut. Then just follow the price per pound of seven cents."

The two sides agreed.

Zhao Yingchun called someone to come and call him a chicken.

The big roosters were grabbed with their wings, and their claws were tied with ropes, and they were weighed upside down.

After weighing the twenty pieces, Zhao Yingchun made a calculation and said, "This lady, these chickens are over 116 kilograms, and the total money is 814 cents."

The result was the same as Shen Wanniang's mind-calculation. Chen Wanniang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, that's it, but I only brought 500 citations in total, and there was still more than 300 citations left. I will pay the 500 citations first, and Miss Zhao sent someone to deliver it to me, and it happened to bring the 300 citations back."

"Okay, there is no problem with this." Zhao Yingchun agreed immediately.

Thinking about a village woman who has twenty chickens at the mouth, she also wants to know which village it is.

Chen Wanniang took out the five hundred documents she brought and handed them all to Zhao Yingchun.

Then, the Zhao family sent two long-term workers to carry the chickens on shoulder poles, and followed Chen Wanniang and the others on the way back to the village.

There are twenty chickens, which are naturally very eye-catching.

They walked through several villages, and many people looked at each other with their eyes wide open.

After returning to Qingquan Village, more people knew Chen Wanniang, and so many people started talking.

"What is Jun'an's wife buying so many chickens?"

"I don't know, I can't finish eating so much."

"Maybe it's for visiting relatives?"

"What are you thinking? She must be greedy for cheapness. The chicken coop of Zhao Caizhu's family in Fushan Village collapsed, and the chickens at home were sold at a low price."

"This Junan's wife is stupid and has a lot of money. She is not as greedy as cheap as she is. She buys so much, but she is still a big rooster. She can't finish eating it until the spring of the next year, so she will definitely be thrown into her hands."

These voices came to Ma Yulan's ears, and she actually didn't understand why Chen Wanniang did this.

But she felt that it was definitely not what those tongue-in-law said. Jun'an's wife was a very good person who was very good at looking and having an idea.

Chen Wanniang returned home with twenty chickens. She first asked the long-term worker to put the chicken down and untie the rope, and then pulled Ma Yulan to a corner where no one was.

"What's wrong? Jun'an's wife."
