Xiao Nui had two main skills, one was brute strength, which goes without saying, every bull should have this skill.
It’s just that it was lazy, so the proficiency level of this skill was almost zero.
No wonder during the flood, it drifted with the waves, hardly struggling at all.
The other skill was fertilizer production.
According to Qin Niu’s understanding, it should be the cow dung and urine it excreted after eating. This skill did not require practice, as there would always be a few piles every day. It was a skill that naturally improved proficiency.
Qin Niu looked at the few piles of cow dung in the cowshed and decided to collect them and use them to fertilize the more than twenty medicinal herbs in the backyard.
Before, he hadn’t been able to prepare humus, so cow dung was considered one of the best kinds of household fertilizer.
To buy a basket of cow dung would cost around ten Wen Money.
This price really wasn’t cheap; it was equivalent to the daily wages of an ordinary adult farmer.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take you to graze on the mountain in a bit.”
After shoveling out a few lumps of cow dung, Qin Niu applied it to the roots of the medicinal herbs in the backyard.
His proficiency level in fertilizing and labor points both rose a bit as a result.
Looking at the cow dung in the soil, he didn’t have much expectation. It was just the effect of ordinary household fertilizer, probably not as good as the humus he made himself.
“Alt Niu, are you at home?”
A middle-aged woman’s voice came from outside the house, sounding very familiar.
It was somewhat like the village’s Flower Auntie.
“Yes, I am!”
Qin Niu quickly went out to see.
lie saw Flower Auntie bringing a middle-aged woman with thin lips, eyebrows penciled in and features painted, dressed to attract attention.
This middle-aged woman, Qin Niu did not recognize, somewhat like she was from Daoyuan Village.
Iler eyes fastened on Qin Niu and sized him up.
“Flower Auntie, what brings you here?”
Qin Niu couldn’t quite grasp the other party’s intention.
Flower Auntie was eloquent and was a well-known matchmaker in the village. When the village’s young men reached the age to marry, they would ask Flower Auntie to help mediate.
If there was a suitable girl, it would be left to Flower Auntie to go directly to the family to ask for her hand.
Of course, since Shuangfeng Village was famously poor, the success rate of matchmaking wasn’t high.
This wasn’t because Flower Auntie lacked matchmaker skills, but because most of the young men in the village lacked competitive edge.
Many of them didn’t have any special skills and could only do ordinary farm work or manual labor.
Add to that their laziness and poverty at home, and naturally no girl would wish to marry into the family.
“Alt Niu, today your ancestral grave must be smoking with fortune! This is Sister He, the matchmaker from Daoyuan Village, who said there is a girl from their village who has taken a liking to you and has asked her to come over to inquire.”
Flower Auntie introduced the situation with a face full of joy.
Seeing the village’s youth getting married made her, as a matchmaker, particularly happy.
It also meant she could earn a fortune in celebration money.
“Which girl is it?”
Qin Niu was somewhat surprised; his own prospects weren’t good, and the girls in his own village looked down on him, not to mention the girls from a prosperous village like Daoyuan Village.
“It’s the youngest daughter of the Tang Wenhan family from our Daoyuan Village. His son is already married, and now that the youngest daughter has reached marriageable age, she is also willing to look for a husband. Their family conditions are not bad at all.”
Sister He said, heading inside on her own.
“Alt Niu, quickly move a chair for Sister He to sit!”
Flower Auntie prompted Qin Niu with a meaningful look.
In her view, this was a godsent matrimonial match, a great opportunity knocking at his door.
“Auntie, please have a seat!”
Xiao Qing moved a chair for the two matchmakers to sit.
“Who is this?”
Flower Auntie had already been curious, as she hadn’t heard about Qin Niu having a sister!
“Oh, this is my maid, named Xiao Qing.”
Qin Niu introduced the two.
After hearing this, Sister He looked at Xiao Qing and her expression became slightly troubled.
“Flower Sister, 1 hadn’t heard that Qin Niu had taken a maid!”
“Perhaps it’s a recent thing! Having a maid is good, as she can help with washing clothes, cooking, and taking care of the household. Look at how clean the floor inside the house is!”
Flower Auntie pushed for the match as much as possible.
Hiring a maid wasn’t a big deal, but supporting a maid meant one more mouth to feed.
Every year she would need new clothes, shoes, and so on, which added up to a significant expense.
“I’ll mention this to the Tang Family later; they had inquired knowing Qin Niu lived alone.” Sister He’s gaze flickered; she wouldn’t dare make this decision on behalf of the girl.
“Qin Young Brother, let me first tell you about the girl’s family. Tang Wenhan’s family owns over twenty mu of good land and they only have a son and a daughter. The older son got married last year, and his wife is very virtuous, hardworking, and diligent. The younger daughter, Tang Caixian, just turned of age in February. She has fair and delicate skin, a very good figure, and even if she’s not one in ten thousand, she’s definitely one in a hundred kind of beauty.
