After Picking Up the Lucky Girl, the Whole Village Became Prosperous Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Bad idea

 “What does it mean to have a bad idea?”

Chen Sansheng said with a smile: "The deer is a creature of the mountains and wilds. Whoever gets it belongs to him, right, donkey."

The pockmarked young man who was called a donkey smiled and said, "That's right. Brother Thirty is right, whoever gets it belongs to him."

 Tu Xiong clicked his tongue, slapped Chen Sansheng with his fat palm, then hugged the pockmarked young man, and asked with a smile: "Okay, what do you want?"

 “Come here, listen to me!” Chen Sansheng waved, and the three of them leaned their heads together and discussed furtively for a while, all of them smiled.

 “Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang…”

 A salesman walked past the saddlery shop, carrying a load and beating a small gong.

Ying Bao saw the dazzling array of trinkets hanging on his load and immediately ran over: "Salesman, salesman, stop."

 The salesman saw a little baby running towards him and knew that business was coming to him. He immediately stopped and put down his burden.

Yingbao ran forward and was almost dazzled by the items on the salesman's basket.

 Embroidery, needlework, colorful silk, sandalwood beads, auspicious knots.

Hung on the basket are jade pendants, copper coin pendants, small puppets, small gourds, small colorful charms, and colored paper windmills.

There are also head flowers, earrings, hoopoe, copper hairpins, wooden hairpins, combs, bracelets, and hanging chains that women wear.

 Bronze mirrors, large and small, are placed on the bottom of the basket. The one is more valuable.

Jiang Sanlang was sitting at the door of the shop, looking at his little girl with a smile, knowing that she would have to spend money to buy a bunch of gadgets again.

Yingbao picked out more than a dozen brightly colored silk threads and prepared them for her mother-in-law.

 I picked up two more goose-shaped porcelain whistles and gave them to my brother.

I chose some embroidered cloth towels for family members to use for washing their faces.

She pointed to the small gourd with tassels and asked, "Do you have this seed?"

"Yes." The salesman took out a linen bag from the bottom of the basket, opened it, and took out a small oil paper bag, "This is the gourd seed."

Yingbao was surprised. He took it and took a look, but he didn't recognize it. “Is this really a gourd seed?”

“Of course, I not only have gourd seeds here, but also seeds from Fanbang.”

 The salesman took out two small paper packages, opened them and showed them to her.

"Fanbang seeds? What are they?" Yingbao was very interested in Fanbang seeds and quickly grabbed one to check, but unfortunately she still didn't recognize it.

The young salesman scratched his head. In fact, he didn't recognize him either.

These seeds were all picked out by his father from the unwanted items of a foreign businessman and sold to him together.

Yingbao didn't hesitate and asked, “How to sell these seeds?”

“Vegetable seeds cost one cent a packet, gourd seeds cost two cents a packet, and fanbang seeds cost ten cents a packet,” the salesman replied.

 It doesn't seem expensive, Yingbao thought.

“Except for the vegetable seeds, I want everything else.”

 There are plenty of vegetable seeds at home, so there is no need to spend money to buy them.

 “Okay.” The salesman was very happy. He picked out the vegetable seeds, counted the rest in categories, and gave them all to the little baby.

Finally, Yingbao collected a bunch of seeds and bought a small bronze mirror. Seeing that there was nothing else he wanted, he took out copper coins from his pocket to pay the bill.

 It cost less than two hundred coins in total, so it was not expensive.

 After a while, several more children came over and surrounded the seller's load to inspect it.

Yingbao ran back with a bunch of things and put them into the basket.

Jiang Sanlang smiled and touched his daughter's little head and said, "When you get home, I'll give you another one."

　　　The way my little girl spends money is really cute, and I don't want to be harsh on her.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Jiang Sanlang touched his belly and asked his daughter, "Is Bao'er hungry?"

Ying Bao blinked and took out a few cooked water chestnuts from his pocket and handed them to his father.

Jiang Sanlang smiled and said, "Why do you carry so many things in your pocket?"

 It wasn't really a question, he just said it casually.

Ying Bao chuckled and stuffed the water chestnuts into his father's hand: "If Dad is hungry, eat them quickly. Bao'er is not hungry." Jiang Sanlang took it and took a bite. It was cooked. He must have given it to his daughter by his wife.

“Bao'er is really not hungry?” he asked.

“Well, Bao'er still has one here.” Ying Bao took out another water chestnut.

 Jiang Sanlang laughed and ate up the water chestnuts in his hand one by one.

He didn't know if it was because the weather was getting warmer, but he just felt a warm current flowing to the meridians of his limbs.

 Squeezing his palms, he suddenly felt that he was extremely powerful at this moment.

Yoyou leaned her head over and arched her little master, indicating that there was another one here.

Yingbao had no choice but to stuff the water chestnuts in her hand into its mouth, and patted its head: "Take me home later."

 She was looking forward to the feeling of riding a deer.

Finally, the shopkeeper brought over the finished leather saddle and said, "Come on, come on, try it first. If it doesn't fit, adjust it again."

Ying Bao held Youyou and asked the shopkeeper to put a saddle on it and tighten the leash.

Yoyou was a little repelled, and she couldn't help but want to jump up and hit him.

“Okay, okay.” Yingbao touched its neck to make it quiet.

Yoyou rubbed her little master aggrievedly and finally became quiet.

 The shopkeeper put the reins on it again and told Jiang Sanlang how to control it and what to pay attention to.

Yingbao listened carefully and didn't miss a word.

 After tying up the leather saddle and tying the reins, Jiang Sanlang carried the little girl onto the deer's back.

Yingbao sat firmly, stepped on the leg ropes with both feet, and took the reins from her father's hand. She suddenly felt as stable as an old dog.

Hurting Youyou for a walk, it was so refreshing.

Jiang Sanlang paid the money and followed Youyou back with a smile.

“Baoer, slow down.” He was still worried that his little girl would be left behind.

Yingbao believes in Youyou, he will not kick her out without any reason, let alone deliberately dump her.

Along the way, Youyou attracted the attention of passers-by, and several people came up to ask where they bought the deer and how it was trained.

Jiang Sanlang laughed it off and ignored it.

On the way to the village after getting off the official road, there were several wild bamboo forests.

 The bamboo forest has been cultivated intermittently. It is not dense, but it is extremely tall and strong, suitable for enjoying the coolness in summer.

There were three people squatting in the bamboo forest, not knowing what they were doing.

Jiang Sanlang suddenly became vigilant, took out a woodcutter from his backpack and held it in his hand.

 He often hunts and has keen intuition. The three of them don't look like they are resting, but rather like they are waiting for someone.

 In the bamboo forest, Tu Xiong and Chen Sansheng and Chen Luer waited for more than an hour, feeling evil burning in their hearts.

 Before, Chen Sansheng ran back to the town twice to confirm whether the deer was still there, and then came back to continue to guard.

"Damn it! You made me wait for so long. I'll teach that guy a lesson later...what's your name?"

Chen Sansheng said harsh words, turned around and asked Chen Luer, "What's that man's name?"

 Chen Luer: "His name is Jiang Sanlang, he is from Dongchen Village. He picked up the little boy, not his daughter. Recently I heard that his family has become rich and he is building a house in Nanshan."

"Really?" Chen Sansheng was very interested and asked: "How did his family get it?"

“It seems like they have some kind of golden ears.” Chen Lv'er spat and said with a look of disgust on his face: “Last time I went to his house and picked out a few. They tasted terrible.”

 “Golden ears?” When Chen Sanshiyi heard the word “gold”, he became even more curious, “What golden ears? Are they made of gold?”

“It's not real gold.” Chen Luer couldn't tell. “It seems to be a kind of yellow mushroom. It looks weird. Maybe it's poisonous.”

“Poisonous?” Chen Sansheng didn't believe it. “It's poisonous and you still eat it?”

 Chen Lv'er: "Aren't you just curious, so I took a bite. My mother said you can't eat poisonous mushrooms, so they all fell into the ditch."
