My Daoist Life

Chapter 17: reward

   As the New Year approaches, the village becomes lively. Those who work outside have all gone home for the New Year. There are also many wine shops in the village. Firecrackers can be heard every day. This is the atmosphere of the New Year.

   But my parents have called back long ago and said that they will not be back this year for the New Year. My dad said that overtime work during the Chinese New Year is three times the salary, and the family’s round-trip fare is several thousand. Such a calculation is really not worthwhile. I am actually used to it. Every year, there will be various excuses. Maybe what I am looking forward to is just what kind of trick they changed this year.

   Grandpa was very angry: "If you don't come back, you won't come back. We will live it ourselves!"

   Grandpa took me out of the village party secretary’s house and kept smoking along the way. When I walked home, I threw away the cigarette butts: "Yangyang, it is not easy for parents to make money outside. To go back and forth, at least three people have to buy tickets, which is more than 2,000 back and forth. I can't stay at home for a few days. It’s not worthwhile. Tomorrow I will take you to the street to buy a new dress and some food. We will have a lively year."

"Grandpa, let's go and sell the chickens, ducks, and geese. We will buy more chickens and ducks in Zhaochun next year. We will leave a few of these chickens to lay eggs. We will also eat one or two during the New Year." After all the money was spent, he was a little tight, and he definitely didn't have the money for the new year's goods.

   Grandpa nodded: "We are still capable of doing well. Chickens, ducks and geese are all so good, and none of them are broken off. Are you still feeding those three pigs?"

  The three pigs are all sows. I plan to let them give birth to cubs. When the time comes, I don’t need to buy piglets for feeding pigs at home.

   "It's all used to give birth. This pig has good physique. The cubs that will be born in the future will definitely be very good." I said.

"Well, it's fine. Just feed it. But these three pigs are so big, and the daily appetite is getting bigger and bigger. It will not be easy for you to pull the pig grass in the future." Grandpa was a little worried. Said.

"Our family has so many fields, and we can't eat all the rice. From now on, the two rows of paddy fields that can't be put on the door **** can be used to grow corn. Just a little more sweet potatoes. In this way, we don't need to feed the pigs. Feeding too much hogweed. And we have grown so many radishes, which can now be used to feed the pigs. If it doesn’t work, I will let them out and let them find their own food. "I have already planned these things. Up.

   Grandpa touched the back of my head: "Our family, Yangyang, is really sensible."

   plus the gift, there are 23 chickens, 23 ducks, and eleven geese. The chickens and ducks are each three to four catties, and the goose is six to seven catties. It takes several days to sell them all.

   brought nearly twenty chickens at a time, and grandpa picked it up with his shoulder, and couldn't move it to death. But I have a way. I still fix the frame on the old yellow back and put the chicken in the frame. Then led Huang to walk to town.

   These days, it is still a rare thing to carry things on the street with cattle.

   "Old man, how come your cattle are trained so well. Can you still bring something to carry?" There are always people who like to inquire along the way.

   "My grandson often trains it, and I gradually get used to it. My cows are also brave and not afraid of people. They will not go crazy." Grandpa said proudly.

   During the Chinese New Year, the bus to pick up people in the village, but with so many goods, people don't like it. Grandpa and I can't afford to spend so much money on the car. It takes more than an hour to walk to town. It's still warmer to walk.

  Lao Huang performed very well, and when he walked halfway, I rewarded him with vitality. Lao Huang immediately ran forward with joy.

   The chicken we feed is also a big heart. It keeps bumping inside, and it turns out to be quiet, sometimes looking out in surprise. The chickens, ducks and geese raised at home are not the same as those raised by the villagers, they are very smart. But I can't just keep them without selling them. My grandfather and I depended on them to pay for the half-new year's goods.

   When I arrived in the town, although it was very crowded, when someone saw me leading a scalper, they immediately gave way. Other people's cars kept screaming, and no one might give way. This is different. My old Huang stared his eyes, as if he was going to give the people blocking his way a hoof at any time, would they dare not? Have you ever heard of someone looking for a car to bump porcelain? Have you heard of someone looking for a cow bumper?

   When we arrived at the trading market, my grandfather and I had a late arrival, and we didn't occupy a good position. We had to stand in a remote place. Grandpa asked me to guard, and deliberately inquired about the situation. After a while, he ran back and happily said to me, "Today's market is good. The local chickens like ours are all 8 yuan a catty."

   "Then we sell ten yuan." I said.

   "Huh?" Grandpa was taken aback.

"You didn’t see that our chickens look better than others’ chickens. They must be sold more expensively than others. Moreover, our chickens have never been fed, they have grown up eating bugs. They must be better than others’. The feed chickens are much more delicious.” I’ve noticed a long time ago. When comparing the chickens in the village with the chickens of ours, it’s almost a thousand miles away. Grandpa’s chicken came to town a few days ago to sell, and I bought it for nine yuan a jin. Our chicken sells for ten yuan a catty, which is a bit cheaper. It's just that the people in the town can't tell.

   "Master, how do you sell chicken?" Sure enough, someone saw our chicken soon. The main reason is that Lao Huang is more eye-catching.

   "Ten yuan a catty." I said it first. I am afraid that grandpa dare not call high prices. ,

   "Kids, don't talk nonsense, everyone else in the market is eight yuan a catty, and you can buy a cheaper seven yuan." That person thought I was a child and couldn't tell.

"My chickens are not the same as others' chickens. Others' chickens have been fed. Our chickens are completely free-range and have never been fed. You can see if the eyes of our chickens are better than those of chickens. Look better. The feathers on your body are intact and shiny. Most importantly, you have to look at the chicken's eyes. Are you more energetic than other people's chickens?" I asked.

   "Hey, you kid is not easy. Is this chicken really going to sell for ten yuan a jin?" The man still looked at my grandfather questioningly.

   Grandpa had no confidence, but after hearing what I said, he gritted his teeth: "Ten yuan a catty, a lot of points."

"If you want to buy something for the New Year, buy the best. You look at the rooster, how bright are the feathers? You grab it and shout, if it is used as a sacrifice, it is the best. Last summer, I caught two here Ten chickens, the boss gave three extras, one is quite a lot, and he has never been sick, and has never been given medicine. Usually he feeds some pig grass mixed with rice bran, mainly relying on it to go out to catch insects and eat. The taste of chicken must be twice as good as that of ordinary domestic chickens. For ten yuan a catty, you can buy a chicken for a few yuan at most. It is definitely worth it. "I am getting more and more in shape.

   "Master, how old is your grandson. It's too great, it will definitely be used for business in the future." The man readily bought two chickens. I paid a few words of praise before leaving.

   Grandpa heard others praise me, he was also very happy, his face was full of smiles. He did not expect that I would actually sell my own chicken for ten yuan a catty.

   opened, but the business was doing well. With that uncle taking the lead, everyone thinks that our chickens are indeed different. Good-selling things do not necessarily have to be the cheapest, but to be recognized by others. When everyone thinks your stuff is good, it is acceptable even if it is more expensive.

   In a blink of an eye, all a dozen chickens were sold. Sold more than six hundred. He almost made money back from the cost of buying chicken, duck, goose, and piglet. Grandpa was very happy. I went to the market and chopped a few catties of meat to prepare a few pieces of bacon. I also bought some new year goods. Anyway, I have to sell ducks and geese, some items can be bought later.

   Ten geese and twenty ducks were sold in the next two days. Sold for more than a thousand yuan. Grandpa and I were so happy. Grandpa took me to town to buy a new dress~www.readwn.com~ and bought a new pair of shoes. Grandpa didn't want to buy clothes for himself, but at my insistence, grandpa bought a suit and ordered a pair of leather shoes at the shoe store. The total cost is less than five hundred yuan.

   Originally, Grandpa planned to buy chicken and duck seedlings home to raise after the beginning of spring. But I saw that the chicken, duck, and piglet in the market were selling cheaply, so I bought it again. This time I bought thirty chickens and thirty ducklings. I bought another five little piglets. A male black pig was specially selected, and the rest are pigs.

   In this way, there is not much money left to buy these chickens and ducks, but my grandfather and I are not worried. We eat all the things we grow at home, and there is not much money to spend. Grandpa gave me fifty yuan and asked me to buy what I wanted. I naturally reluctant to use it, secretly clipped it into a book, and then hid the book under the pillow.

When    was twenty-ninth, my grandfather and I drained the water in the pond, and the villagers came to help.

   Uncle thirteen came back at the 20th year, and came to help on this day.

   "Second uncle. There are so many fish in the pond. How did you feed such a big one?" Thirteen uncle laughed.

   "You have to ask Yang Yang, the fish are mowed every day by Yang Yang. They didn't feed anything. Maybe this fish pond has been abandoned for a long time, and the water is fertilizer." Grandpa laughed.

Grandpa heard this and laughed nonstop: "This statement is fresh. I'm a few dozen years old, and I have never heard anyone say that raising fish depends on water and fertilizer. But Yangyang is really a lucky star. You can raise chickens, ducks and geese. It’s so good. I heard that it sold for several thousand dollars. The fish in this pond can also be sold for a lot of money~www.readwn.com~Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial The works are all at ~www.readwn.com~ For mobile users, please go to read.
