Chapter 42 The drug store buys seeds, and the trip to the countryside is about to end
“Plus one, since pigs, chickens, ducks and geese can increase the income of the village, then cattle and donkeys can also do it.”
Li Jiayi shook his head and said: "Uncle, the sale of cattle, horses and donkeys, including mules, is prohibited, because these It's all a lot of work, even if you die, someone will come to investigate." "Okay! I'll let them sell it later and use the money to buy food. br>
"Well! By the way, uncle, you can't sell them all. It's better to keep two ends. Selling them all would be too fake."
The captain nodded and said: "You are right. I think you can keep your sixth grandfather's cow, otherwise it will be troublesome for everyone to go to the commune."
At this time, there were very few bicycles in the countryside. Yes, not even the captain’s family, let alone others.
It would be okay if you didn’t bring anything with you for the ten-kilometer journey, but it would be really tiring if you brought something with you to the commune.
"By the way, uncle, do you think anyone has calves or donkeys for me to keep? I'm going to buy a few."
The captain looked at Li Jiayi and asked Said: "What do you want that thing for?"
"I'm useful."
"Okay! I'll keep it for you if I have it."
"Uncle, I don't want it, I just spend money to buy it, and the price is higher than others. Don't worry about that. "
He won't take advantage of the villagers, especially at this time. What's the use of taking advantage? It won't make him rich.
After the matter was said, Li Jiayi left. As for what to do next, it had nothing to do with him.
A night of silence.
The next morning, Li Jiayi got up early and exercised without hesitation.
Then he sneaked into the space, took a shower, changed his clothes, and walked out of the house.
Grandpa Li Laogen is sitting in the yard smoking cigarettes, and grandma is cooking in the kitchen.
"Grandpa, why do you still smoke dry cigarettes? Didn't I buy you cigarettes?" Li Jiayi came over and asked.
"Dry cigarettes are strong. As for paper cigarettes, I'm not used to them." Li Laogen said with a grin.
Why are you not used to smoking? In fact, I just don’t want to smoke.
Because the dry tobacco he smokes is free of charge. The tobacco leaves are grown and smoked by himself, so there is no cost at all.
"Grandpa, if you think the big front door is too expensive, I will buy you a dime next time."
"No, grandson! Even a dime costs money." No, grandpa’s dry cigarettes cost nothing.”
"Grandpa, I am not short of money."
"I know that my eldest grandson is not short of money, but if you have money, you can't spend it randomly. You have to save it. There will be many places to use money in the future."
Li Jiayi was speechless. Where is this going?
Of course he knows that there will be many places to use money in the future, but he can still afford this little smoking money.
“I know Grandpa.”
He said this, but Li Jiayi had already made a decision, that is, he would not bring such a good person next time.
I don’t want to smoke the cigarettes I bring, and I don’t want to drink the wine I bring, so why bring them.
Next time, buy more at 10 cents, or if it’s economical, as for wine, I’ll buy Erguotou.
Anyway, these kinds of tobacco and alcohol do not require tickets, you can buy more.
"Grandson, go wash up and eat quickly." Grandma came out of the kitchen and shouted.
"Okay grandma."
Breakfast is similar to what he had in the city, and grandma also boiled an extra egg for him.
After eating, he said hello to his grandparents, and Li Jiayi ran out of the house.
I don’t know what the captain told the villagers, but Li Jiayi saw someone leading a cow to the commune with Grandpa Six’s bullock cart.
As for why Li Jiayi did not buy an adult bull, the first reason is because his strength does not allow it.
Also, he still likes to eat meat grown in space because it tastes delicious. The price of an adult cow is not low! Especially in this era when cattle are the main labor force.
Of course, the same goes for donkeys.
And the price is not the same as that of pigs. Pigs are cheaper for their hair and their meat is more expensive, but the opposite is true for cattle.
Beef is expensive and the meat is cheap, even cheaper than pork. There is no way, beef has no oil or water.
But the price of live cattle is much more expensive than pork, which is why he does not buy adult cattle.
How to say it! It's like buying a tractor to plow the land. The price of this tractor is not cheap!
But if the tractor is scrapped, how much can it be sold for scrap metal?
This adult cow is equivalent to a tractor and is used to plow the land. Of course, it can also be used to pull carts.
A dead cow is equivalent to a scrapped tractor, and its value is much less. It can be said that it has no use other than eating.
Thinking that he had nothing to do in the village, Li Jiayi hurriedly chased him away.
"Grandpa Six, wait for me."
"Little Plus One! Do you want to go back?"
Grandpa Six asked doubtfully, because he just arrived yesterday Come on!
“No, Grandpa Six, I’m going to the commune to buy something.”
"That's it! Come on up then!"
"Yes!"
After riding in an ox cart for more than two hours, we arrived at Liucun Commune again.
After arriving at the commune, the villagers who came to sell their cattle went to the parade, which was actually a place for trading.
It is not a collective yet. The pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese raised in rural households are all allowed to be traded.
It's just that chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and sheep are all sold to the commune's purchasing station, while the army is where cattle, horses, donkeys and mules are traded.
Of course, you need to pay money for transactions in the trade. For example, if you sell a cow, you have to pay five yuan to the trade.
People are quite happy to do business in Wuli, because they will help you find a buyer.
You only need to bring the cow, donkey, horse or mule over, and you don’t need to take care of the rest.
And we will definitely give you a fair price. The reason for this is because the army is not run by private individuals, but is led by a commune.
The commune collects money and also pays wages to the staff. After all, the people working here do not have a staff establishment.
And the commune established this team to coordinate the rural labor force.
Some villages have more livestock, so they will sell some, while some villages have less livestock, so they have to buy some.
Li Jiayi had no intention of going to the army, because all the animals sold in the army were adult livestock.
After he separated from everyone, he went directly to the Chinese medicine shop in the commune.
The reason why there are traditional Chinese medicine shops here is mainly because there are many mountains nearby. Some villagers go to the mountains to collect medicines and then sell them to traditional Chinese medicine shops.
Soon Li Jiayi arrived here. The Chinese medicine shop was very big, at least much bigger than the supply and marketing cooperative.
There are also a lot of medicinal materials inside, some of which are locally produced, but most of them are shipped from other places.
Chinese medicine shops not only collect medicinal materials, but also mainly sell them. It is impossible to only sell some local medicinal materials.
As soon as Li Jia came in, a young man who didn't know whether he was a medicine boy or an apprentice came over.
"Do you want to buy medicine? Do you have a prescription?"
"I don't want to buy medicine. I want to buy some medicinal seeds. I wonder if you have them here?"
PS: Wan Shui Qian Shan Zong It's love, can you give me a ticket? Thanks!
