He shouted excitedly, which directly wiped out the remaining flash in Xu Yue's mind.
"Okay! It's doable!" Yang Wazi said excitedly, with joy all over his face.
Xu Yue asked him funny: "Give me all the wool? What's the price?"
Sheep Wazi ran all the way, and it was only later that he realized that Xu Yue, a brother and sister, had never seen him before, and then he realized that he was worried about the sheep and his sister at home. He ran all the way and was out of breath.
I was also worried that Xu Yue would leave because of the long wait. I was afraid when I saw that the person was still there.
So I never thought about how much the wool would cost.
In the past, sheep shed their wool in spring and autumn, and everyone thought it would grow back again, so they never paid attention to this problem. The wool was thrown away and used for retting, and no one thought it could be sold for money.
Yangwazi thought for a long time and then tentatively said: "Two dollars per catty?"
Xu Yue looked at the fat sheep running all over the hillside and nodded, "Okay, I will pay this price from now on, but I only want the wool that is harvested in spring and autumn."
The sheep boy was so happy that he didn't care about anything that was only about spring and autumn. He hurriedly asked Xu Yue: "Then shall I go and shear your sheep now?"
Xu Yue nodded and indicated that he could go.
But I'm afraid that Yangbazi has never been shaved before and doesn't know how to cut it, so I plan to teach him first.
However, when the two of them excitedly prepared to cut their hair, they discovered that there were no scissors at all.
Yangwazi was stunned for a moment, a little afraid that Xu Yue would miss this opportunity to make money, so he turned around and ran to the neighbor's house to borrow scissors.
Now they had the tools, and under Xu Yue's guidance, Yangwazi and Qiniang sheared the sheep.
Originally, when sheep were in the moulting stage, the velvet could be scraped off with a comb with larger gaps, so the shearing should be smooth.
And now that spring is warm, the sheep without wool will not be frozen, and they can run happily on the hillsides with cool clothes.
However, the three of them were small, and Xu Yue herself only had theoretical ideas and practical operations. The three of them worked randomly all afternoon and sheared more than a dozen half-bald sheep. They packed them in sacks and weighed them. They weighed just over five kilograms.
To about six pounds.
Xu Yue directly calculated twelve coins for Yangwazi.
Yang Wazi held the money in both hands, feeling inexpressibly excited. She patted her chest and promised Xu Yue that she would send all the remaining wool to her within the next two days.
At this moment, he remembered that he still didn't know who the person who bought the wool was and where he lived.
"Where is your home?" Yang Wazi asked curiously.
Xu Yue pointed to the two tall trees on the river bank, "There, when the sheep are sheared, you can bring them to my house and I will pay you the money."
Yangwazi was startled. He looked at Xu Yue in front of him, then at the house on the river bank not far away, and asked in surprise:
"Are you the new relative of the host's family?"
Xu Yue nodded, "My name is Xu Yue. That person turning over the rocks by the river is my eldest brother Xu Mo. I am the youngest at home, so you can also call me Youniang."
Yangwazi recited these two names silently several times and nodded to show that he remembered them.
Then he looked at Xu Dalang by the river and exclaimed: "Your elder brother is so strong. He can even turn over such a big stone."
The sun was about to set, and Xu Yue did not dare to delay any longer. She smiled at the Yangwazi brother and sister, then carried a large bag full of wool down the mountain to meet her brother.
Seeing that she was not big, Yangwazi took the linen bag from her uneasily and sent her to the foot of the mountain.
"Xu Youniang, if other people have wool, do you still want it?" Before leaving, Yang Wazi thought of the sheep of other families in the village and asked tentatively.
Xu Yue shook her head, "I want this much for now. I don't know if what I want to do will be successful, but sheep will shed their hair in spring and autumn. If you don't mind the trouble, you can collect the wool first."
Hearing this, Yang Wazi nodded slightly disappointedly and watched the Xu Yue brothers and sisters go home. Looking at the huge stone in Xu Dalang's arms, he was surprised for a long time before going back to the mountain to drive the sheep down the mountain.
"You've been out for so long, Xu Youniang, you don't want to go home, do you?"
As soon as Xu Yue and Xu Dalang stepped into the courtyard, they were scolded by Xu Erniang who was standing in front of the stove preparing dinner.
"I'm the only one left to cook at home. You two would rather be lazy. You might as well wait until I finish cooking and then come back."
"Especially you, Xu Dalang, why are you bringing such a big stone back?" Xu Erniang asked curiously, pointing at the big stone with a wooden spatula.
Xu Dalang glanced at her and gave her a look that said he was too lazy to tell you more. Xu Erniang was so angry that she immediately jumped off the bench to deal with her.
Xu Yue put down the hemp bag she was carrying and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the person, thus avoiding a tragic scene in which her sister was beaten by her brother.
"What are you doing? What's in the bag?"
Xu Erniang wasn't angry at her sister for blocking her. She was just pretending to fight with Xu Dalang? She hadn't even thought about going to find this bully yet.
Wang Youliang squatted in front of the stove to light the fire. He smelled a smell of paste at the tip of his nose and shouted. Only then did Xu Erniang realize that there was something burning on the stove and hurriedly ran back to take out the wheat cakes and put out the fire.
The things were placed on the fire bed in the main room. Xu Yue and Xu Dalang had already washed their hands and consciously brought the dishes and chopsticks.
Xu Erniang ran to the yard and rummaged through Xu Yue's sack and asked in surprise: "What did you bring back with so much wool?"
"I'm going to try making wool." Xu Yue replied.
Xu Erniang asked in confusion: "What is wool?"
Xu Yue replied: "Thread spun from wool."
Xu Erniang muttered: "Nonsense!"
Xu Dalang walked to the tool shed and asked Mrs. Wang to come over for dinner.
The four of them, mother and son plus Wang Youliang, sat down at the dining table. They were about to use their chopsticks when Xu Da came back carrying a cloth bag.
He washed his hands, put down the bag, put it on the table, and explained: "I have brought back some vegetables to plant. If you have free time these days, Wang, please clean up the open space next to the house and plant the seeds. In a few days, there will be some."
Eat fresh vegetables.”
Mrs. Wang nodded, "I understand, let's eat first."
The whole family stopped talking, picked up the wheat cakes and started eating.
After dinner, Xu Da and Wang took their hoes and went to dig the ground. Anyway, the dim view at night did not affect their vision, so they just treated it as digestion.
Xu Dalang held his big stone, found a hammer, and pounded it in the courtyard, preparing to break it into stone cakes so that he could use it to practice weightlifting.
There are no conditions, otherwise according to Wang's plan, it would be better to use iron blocks than stones, and it would be easier to increase the weight.
Xu Yue arranged for Wang Youliang to review his lessons, so he took his sister to the full wool and linen bag, and the two of them tried to catch the cashmere and twist it into thread.
Wool has a smell. Xu Erniang couldn't stand the original smell, so she moved out a large wooden basin and washed the wool to remove the smell.
Then a magic spell was applied and it dried instantly, leaving Xu Yue stunned.
She has never seen her sister use this kind of magic!
Seeing her sister's stunned expression, Xu Erniang's heart softened and she said she didn't pay attention. She picked up the little face and kissed it.
