Chapter 138 Chen Ze: I'm here to buy goods
"Anzi, take Xiao Chen and the others to play. There is nothing for you to do here."
Everyone has a lot of work at home. He wanted to help, so Wang Fang asked his son to accompany the guests instead of helping to clean up.
Hearing what his mother said, Zhang An took everyone to the new house.
“We haven’t been here since your house was built.”
When they came to the yard by the river, Su Ying found that the yard was too big.
Originally, Zhang An’s old courtyard was already very big, but it turned out to be much bigger than that.
After they arrived just now, they went directly to Zhang An's old house.
Because when they came here before, they only visited Zhang An’s old house.
I didn’t expect that Zhang An’s new house is right by the river, and it’s just a few steps to the bridge.
Zhang An planted many flowers, plants and trees in this yard and took good care of them.
Although it is winter now, the yard feels very good and looks full of life.
“You guys are here now. I have a place for you now, so you don’t have to go back in such a hurry.”
Took everyone around, and finally the two girls asked for Went to see the Big Flower Family.
Zhang An took them to the enclosure.
"Big flower, big flower, do you remember us?"
Chen Ning saw the big flower and wanted to reach out and touch it.
Dahua didn't want to pay attention to it at first, it had forgotten who these people were.
But Zhang An is also there, so he just wants to give face to his elder brother and behave reluctantly.
Everyone played with the big flower for a while, and then ran to the side to look at the big yellow.
Now Dahuang's two children have grown to be as big as Dahuang.
But the appearance and temperament of the Dahuang family were quite poor, so a few people only looked at them for a while and then left.
Further back is the compartment of Xiang Deer.
"Zhang An, is this your domestic forest musk deer?"
Su Ying looked at the two black fragrant deer and asked Zhang An curiously.
Because when Zhang An went to school before, he told her about these two fragrant deer.
She had never seen this kind of animal before, so she was curious.
“Yes, that’s the two of them. Now the female is pregnant with her baby, and she will be born next year.”
Now these two fragrant deer are living in Zhang An’s house It's very comfortable, and the fur on his body is getting darker.
The two ends in Zhang An’s space have given birth to several babies now.
"This is the forest deer. No wonder you can smell the fragrance when you get close."
Because the fragrant deer at home has never taken out incense, when a few people got close, they smelled the fragrance. .
Compared with Dahua and Dahuang, these two fragrant deer seem particularly aloof.
Generally, except for Zhang An, they don’t pay much attention to strangers.
So Su Ying and Chen Ning’s plan to play with them failed.
So after watching it for a while, they were no longer interested in the fragrant deer.
Going one block to the side, there is a black goat with a big belly.
“This sheep has such a big belly. Is it fat or pregnant?”
“It has been pregnant for a long time. It is estimated that it will give birth next month.”
Zhang An calculated the time, and it was probably the period after the Chinese New Year.
"Then will we be able to eat roast lamb when we come here?"
Hearing that Zhang An's sheep were about to give birth, Chen Ning's first thought was that there would be sheep to eat in the future.
“Um, I advise you not to say this in front of a goat, as it can easily scare it.”
If you say you want to eat mutton in front of a goat, isn’t that scaring the goat?
Going further back, there are only Dahei and Rabbit Circle.
Looking at so many rabbits, Chen Ze immediately told Zhang An that he would take a few with him when he went back.
Seeing these guys in the circle is like visiting a zoo.
Everyone knows that after Zhang An took over the wasteland behind, it is now full of fruit trees.
They still wanted to go up and have a look, but it was winter now, and the tree had not grown up at all, and it was bare on top.
So Zhang An told them to wait until next spring to come back.
At that time, whether it is when the cherry blossoms are blooming or when the cherries are red.
When they come, it will be much more fun than now.
As soon as I came out of the pen house, I met Huatou who was returning from hunting.
There is still some blood on his mouth, indicating that he is very full.
Seeing Zhang An coming out, it wanted to fall on Zhang An's shoulders.
"Go, go, you are dirty now, go and wash yourself."
But Zhang An disliked the fact that its paws and mouth were still dirty, so he let him wash himself. Go and wash it off.
The flower head that Zhang An took away went to the river to wash his talons and beak.
"Zhang An, this eagle is not raised by you, right?"
If you want to say who is the most excited among these people, it must be Chen Ze.
We are all men, who doesn’t want to raise a goshawk?
This is every man’s dream, okay?
"Hey, congratulations on your correct answer. I caught this around October last year and it's ready now."
The flowerhead who was just driven away by Zhang An has now gone After cleaning his talons and beak, he came back.
It is quite smart and knows that there is water on its paws, so Zhang An will definitely ignore it.
So standing on the clothes-drying rope at Zhang An’s house, there was a rag there.
I wiped the water off my paws before flying over and standing on Zhang An's shoulders.
Then it scanned the people around it with its sharp eyes.
Chen Ze was always jealous, but now seeing Huatou being so obedient, his eyes were as red as a rabbit.
"Zhang An, what is it called? Can we touch it?"
This was the first time Su Ying saw a tamed eagle, so her eyes sparkled when she saw Zhang An holding the goshawk.
She is not the only one, no one here has ever seen a tamed eagle.
Zhang An was the first falconer they saw.
"It's called Huatou. You can touch it, but you can only touch its back. No other places, otherwise it will peck people."
Hearing Zhang An say yes, Su Ying stretched out her hand and carefully stroked the feathers of the flower head.
Then Chen Ning also clamored to touch her.
At the end, when Hua Tou was about to become impatient, Zhang An called everyone to stop.
Then he comforted it and then let it return to its eagle nest.
"Leading Huang on the left and Qingcang on the right, if you wear a fur hat again, you will really become Su Dongpo."
In Su Ying's eyes, Zhang An has three ferocious big dogs. , now there are such a big goshawk.
This is definitely Su Dongpo of his generation.
The Chinese teacher may like this kind of romance.
"Zhang An, why don't you get one for me too?"
Looking at the harmonious scene between man and eagle, an idea popped into Chen Ze's mind.
“I don’t say whether this eagle is easy to catch or not. The main reason is that the success rate of catching the eagle is not high. It’s all a matter of luck. You’d better forget it.”
Then Zhang Ancai took everyone back to Go sit at home.
"I said Zhang An, why don't you want to buy a TV in a house as big as yours?"
Chen Ze saw that Zhang An had a TV set in his living room. A large wooden table and a circle of Taishi chairs.
There are no televisions or other electrical appliances.
He felt that Zhang An could not afford it, so he asked curiously.
"The main reason why I didn't buy it is that the antenna here can't pick up a few channels. If I buy it, it's just for decoration. Besides, I don't like watching TV very much. I'll buy it again when there is a closed circuit in the village."
Back from later generations. Zhang An is definitely not very interested in TV sets.
Of course, when the closed circuit is opened, or the Big Sky Pot is sold, Zhang An will definitely buy one. If he doesn’t want to see it himself, his parents at home can also see it.
Zhang An’s new house is very large, although there are rooms on the first floor.
But they are not used to live in. They are private rooms used by Zhang An to entertain guests.
There are six or seven rooms on the second floor, and four more on the third floor.
Zhang An’s family can accommodate as many people as they come here.
Actually, Zhang An didn’t want to build such a big building at first, because there were too many rooms and it looked empty.
But Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo felt that their son had many friends, so it would be a good idea to have more room.
It’s just that every time Zhang An cleans the house, he gets a little angry.
"Let's go downstairs to warm up by the fire. It's a bit cold upstairs."
After looking at the house, Zhang An took them downstairs to warm up by the fire.
After all, it is winter now, and there is no air conditioning or heating upstairs, so you still have to respect it.
Wang Fang lit the stove in Zhang An's house in the morning.
Put some coal inside and seal the furnace lid inside. This way the stove won't go out and won't burn too brightly.
Then Zhang An took out the melon seeds, peanuts, and walnut nuts cooked at home and poured them on the stove for everyone to eat and play with.
"These walnuts are so delicious, Zhang An, where did you buy the walnuts?"
Chen Ning discovered that the walnuts from Zhang An's house were different from the ones she bought at home. They were five-flavored.
The walnuts sold on the street now are all raw walnuts and have not been processed.
Basically, they are walnuts that people pick themselves, dry them and sell them.
Currently food processing plants have not yet targeted these nuts.
So they tried the spiced walnuts cooked by Zhang An and found that they were quite delicious.
“I didn’t buy this. I cooked it myself when I came back from the mountains. It’s the same principle as spiced melon seeds.”
Zhang An explained to everyone while holding the tongs to remove the walnuts for everyone. Clamp it open.
"If you like eating, take some back when you go back."
"Okay, okay, this is my favorite, thank you Zhang An."
Chen Ning was happy when she heard what Zhang An said.
Zhang An doesn’t care. He cooked a lot this year, estimated to be dozens of kilograms.
Winter is no better than summer. I can only sit around the stove and can't go anywhere.
Everyone was chatting and looking at the time, it was already afternoon.
"It's almost time, Zhang An, I came to your house today to buy goods. Please take us to get ready so we can go back."
It turns out that he didn't come here specifically to play today. Yes, but with the intention of coming to Zhang An's house to purchase goods.
Because his old man came to their house to celebrate the New Year this year, he did not buy the ingredients for the New Year.
Whether it was chicken, duck, fish or vegetables, what he had eaten at Zhang An's house was much better than what he had eaten in big hotels outside.
So he made up his mind not to buy anything for the New Year this year that could be bought at Zhang An’s house.
“I have to go back today, or we can leave tomorrow.”
“No need to keep guests, come back when the weather is nice, there will be many opportunities in the future,”
< br>Anyway, although the county town is a bit far away, this person has a car, so it is convenient to come here.
So Zhang An didn't stay long and went to call his mother.
Just now, Chen Ze wrote a list of things he wanted to bring back.
This guy asked for a lot, not to mention he asked for fifty kilograms of pork when he just killed the pig.
Now I also want several native chickens, and then there are the rabbits that Zhang An keeps in the pen.
He often comes here and eats Wang Fang’s spicy hot pot rabbit meat, as if he is addicted to it.
Then there are the fish raised by Zhang An’s family, which are indispensable.
After all, his old man likes this, so he eats a lot of fine-scaled fish and yellow-bone fish. He can take this thing back home and eat it while raising it.
Even the vegetables in Zhang Anyuan's house could not escape his poisonous hands.
So Wang Fang took a kitchen knife and went to the garden to chop some vegetables for Chen Ze, while Zhang An went to the fish pond and built a ground cage.
Finally everything Chen Ze wanted was ready, but when this man drove over.
The car he drove today could not hold so many things in the cargo box.
"Zhang An, how about this? I'll leave this car at your house, and I'll drive your pickup truck back. If you go to the county town years ago, you can come and change it. If you don't go to the county town, you can drive my car first, and I'll I'll drive it over to you when I come over."
Then Chen Ze thought for a moment before speaking to Zhang An.
“Okay, you drive back first.”
Zhang An originally thought that he would just wait and send them back later.
But since Chen Ze wanted to drive a pickup truck back, he was happy to save trouble.
The main reason is that it takes a long time for him to go to the county town and back, and Chen Ze was originally driving the car.
Chen Ze asked for a lot of things this time, but he also said that these were not just bought by his family.
His family will keep at least half of these things, and the rest may be given to relatives and friends.
Of course, the Su Ying family must have a share.
This time he switched to Zhang An’s pickup truck. Chen Ze felt that the cargo box was larger and could hold a lot of things.
So in the end I asked for one or two hundred chicken, duck and goose eggs.
I also let Zhang An catch several water ducks and big white geese.
Finally it was almost afternoon when Chen Ze told Zhang An that they planned to go back.
It gets dark relatively early in winter, so Zhang An’s family didn’t let them eat before leaving.
After all, it’s dark at night and it’s not safe to drive on the road.
But before leaving, Chen Ze had not forgotten the bamboo mushrooms he had eaten for lunch today.
So I asked Zhang An if he still had any. He wanted to take some back.
Last time Lao Zongye gave Zhang An half a catty, but half a catty didn’t sound like much.
But when you look at it, it’s only half a pocket.
Originally Zhang An planned to give some to Chen Ze, but then he thought, this man is not short of money.
So I didn't give him my own ones, but took him to Wu Qingzong's house to buy them.
Because of these things in their house, they plan to stay here to entertain guests.
The main reason is that if he buys it for Old Zongye, the old man will not take his money.
The old man Wu Qingzong is actually not generous. Not everyone can get anything from him.
Including Zhang An in this village, there are no more than two hands of people to whom he has taken the initiative to give things.
Once he feels that you are good to him, he will think of you no matter what.
So if Zhang An told him that he wanted to buy bamboo fungi, the old man would never mention money.
I will definitely take out the inventory at home and let Zhang Security Department take it away. He has a very weird temper.
But Zhang An said it was Chen Ze who bought it. He didn’t know Chen Ze, so he would naturally accept the money.
So Zhang An thought, since Chen Ze is not short of money anyway, why not lend him a hand to help people in the village generate income.
Zhang An hasn't been to the streets for a long time, and he doesn't know what the price of bamboo mushrooms is now.
I thought there wouldn’t be much difference between now and before, so I told Chen Ze to calculate it at 150 pounds.
Zhang An told Chen Ze about the situation at Wu Qingzong’s family along the way.
Chen Ze also felt that the two old people were very pitiful, so he wanted to give them more as a way of helping them.
But how could Wu Qingzong ask for more? Zhang An said the price was one hundred and fifty per catty, so he only charged one hundred and fifty, and he didn’t want any more.
For him, the price is already very satisfying.
If you charge too much, you are charging money without conscience.
Ever since their son had an accident, the two elders were particularly concerned about this.
The main reason is to accumulate more virtues for their young grandson.
Chen Ze quite admired the old man's stubborn temper, so he didn't insist.
But with a wave of his hand, he took away all the inventory in Lao Zongye's house.
Since the old man didn’t want him to pay more, Chen Ze thought, just buy them all.
It is so expensive that they would not be willing to eat it themselves.
I bought it myself and saved them from selling it on the street.
Anyway, just have more, if you can’t finish it at home when the time comes.
Just give some to each relative and friend’s home, just like giving souvenirs during the Chinese New Year.
"Wow, why does this smell so bad? Is it really the one we ate?"
When Lao Zongye opened the bag, Chen Ze smelled the stench inside.
He shook his head because of the smoke, and quickly pinched his nose.
Is this really the mushroom he ate for lunch?
"Hahaha, that's what this bamboo fungus looks like. Don't look at it now. You'll eat it when it's ready."
Then Chen Ze also discovered that the smell in this mountain seems to be getting worse. The more delicious the food, the more delicious it is.
“Hmm, is there anything I need to pay attention to when eating this?”
Although this thing is delicious, if you don’t make it right, then Wasted.
For example, he still misses the pig intestines he had for lunch.
"This is very simple. Before doing it, take it out and soak it for a while, then pour some salt and soak it together for as long as possible, then just wash it off."
Chen Ze asked, Zhang An told him about this matter.
He did something wrong when he took it back. Not only wasting the ingredients at that time, he also had to blame Zhang An for leading him to buy fakes.
In the end, Chen Ze not only bought all the bamboo fungus that Wu Qingzong had picked up for half a month.
When I went out, I saw the turkey ducks they raised.
Seeing this extremely ugly turkey duck, he firmly believed that this thing must be delicious, and he wanted to catch two of them.
When this man took action, he had a particularly strong aura of being a rich man, and his whole body exuded the smell of not being short of money.
Chen Ze’s visit to Zhang An’s house was a fruitful one.
Now the cargo box of Zhang Anna's pickup truck is basically full.
This man said he was here to purchase goods, but Zhang An thought it was a joke.
When I left, I saw a car full of things.
Zhang An discovered that they were not joking, they were talking about serious things.
