Jing Li looked at the attitudes of these farmers from behind the crowd and felt a little emotional.
Only a few months had passed, and everyone's opinion of Qin Zhao had completely changed.
very nice.
The farmers had to go to other places to collect straw, so they didn't delay for long. They had already inspected the goods when they talked to Jing Li, so they paid a 20-wen deposit without hesitation.
Qin Zhao handed the copper coin to Jing Li in front of them, and then led them to the fields.
As for Jing Li.
A certain little fish was still under punishment and was prohibited from working. He was not allowed to go to the fields for three days.
Jing Li watched them leave, and the small courtyard full of flowers and plants became empty, with only him left.
He had been working outside every day these days, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly had some free time.
Before crossing here, Jing Li had never done any farm work, and even occasionally did cleaning work, which he disliked. He was only interested in gardening. But here, he did many things he had never thought of before, and he enjoyed them very much.
Isn’t it the most fulfilling and interesting thing to watch your life get better little by little?
Jing Li returned to the bedroom, took out a small box where he hid his money from the depths of the closet, and put the deposit he had just received into it.
There was already a small amount of savings in the wooden box. Although it was not much, at least it was enough to have food and drink.
Jing Li roughly counted them, and after figuring out what was going on, he put the wooden box back. Then, he pulled out a smaller box from the foot of the bed.
The box was opened, and several strings of copper coins poured out from it.
These are his little private vaults.
He had saved all this money by working for others in the village or town these days.
Jing Li turned around and rummaged through yesterday's dirty clothes basket, took out a purse, and poured out the scattered copper coins inside.
I earned fifty cents by helping Uncle Lin water the plants these days, plus the ten cents I earned from cutting grass for the pigs yesterday, a total of sixty cents.
He knelt beside the bed and strung the dozens of copper coins onto the rope one by one. After stringing exactly a hundred coins, there were still a dozen left.
Including what he earned yesterday, he already had five strings of money like this.
That is more than five hundred and ten coins.
Jing Li was a little worried, so he counted it again carefully, and it was still the same number.
That should be enough.
Jing Li smiled with satisfaction and put the box back in its place.
He wanted to give Qin Zhao a surprise, and all the money in this small private treasury was prepared for this.
Now that there is enough money, there is only one last problem left.
How can I get Qin Zhao away alone for a while?
.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhao led several farmers to the fields to harvest straw. The farmers knew he was not feeling well, so they didn't let him work and did the work themselves.
These farmers always go to the nearby village to collect straw together. They cooperate well with each other. Some are responsible for harvesting, and some are responsible for carrying and loading. They are efficient and in less than half an hour, they have collected all the straw in the half acre of land.
There were still some remaining vegetable roots in the field, so Qin Zhao simply asked them to collect them together and gave them to them for free to feed their pigs.
In the end, four carts of straw were harvested from half an acre of straw.
After seeing off the farmer who was collecting straw, Qin Zhao walked back with the copper coins in his pocket and happened to meet a fat figure walking towards him.
Qin Zhao didn't know if it was an illusion, but he vaguely felt that the other person's figure was much thinner than before.
Qin Zhao was just thinking about this when the other party saw him and greeted him, "Brother Qin, why are you going to the fields?"
"Selling straw." Qin Zhao replied.
