Chapter 296 That’s called dog food

Chapter 296 That’s called dog food

“Anzi, let’s come and sit at my place.”

It’s not yet noon, Zhang Ping drove a carriage and took Mr. Huang back to the village.

When passing by the door of Zhang An's house, he shouted inside.

"Hey, okay, you go first and I'll be right here."

Zhang An was a little surprised when he saw it. It only took two hours for the two of them to go to the town. How could it be so fast? Back.

And looking at the car, there is nothing else except the straw and steel scales underneath.

The venison they brought over must have been sold out, it was quite fast.

It seems that they may have met a big customer today. In the past, these more than one hundred kilograms of venison would have been sold until the afternoon at least.

When Mr. Huang hunted deer before, he killed them himself and sold them on the street.

But the locals are reluctant to spend money on lean venison, preferring to buy fat pork.

After all, the price of venison is a little more expensive, and buying it back also costs some money.

It's not like pork that's full of fat. Everyone wants it. If you take it back and make lard, you can still eat it for a long time.

Zhang An knew that Huang Erye asked him to come over probably to share money.

After talking to his family, Zhang An got up and went out.

He didn't want the money, but if he didn't go, Mr. Huang would definitely give it to him.

The old man’s style of doing things has always been one is one, and two is two.

When they arrived at Mr. Huang’s house, Zhang Ping and Mr. Huang were counting a lot of change.

This money was probably received from selling meat this morning.

"Second Master, is business so good today? Why did you close the stall so early? Why did you have to wait until lunch before?"

"Hey, business is really good today, but it's all thanks to Boss Zhao."

The Boss Zhao that Huang Erye is talking about is the owner who bought land and built a villa in the village next to Changqing, that is, The one who ordered pigs from Zhang An's family.

Boss Zhao’s name is Zhao Tiande. He is about fifty years old and is a big boss in the provincial capital.

Zhang An dated him several times and found that he was quite interesting.

He is a straightforward man, not artificial at all.

But there is one drawback. This person is not a good drinker, but he likes drinking very much.

Zhang An met him because he drank alcohol once and drank him down twice.

I heard from him that his hometown is here, so he came back and built a villa.

In the summer, I bring my friends here to escape the heat. At other times, when I have time, I come here to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

This is why Zhang An thinks he is interesting. You should enjoy it when you make money.

"Oh? What's going on? Did he bring someone to buy it?"

Zhao Tiande is very rich, and the friends he brought are not bad either. Anyway, he is quite generous every time he makes a purchase.

If he really brought someone there, maybe it would be divided among several people.

"That's not true. He was the only one this time. But when we went there today, he saw it and came over to ask."

"When I heard it was wild venison, the price was even higher. Before he could return it, he asked us to cut it in half, saying that he was going to take it back to give to friends.”

This deer meat seems to be quite good as a gift.

Chen Ze and Ding Yi had this idea, and so did Zhao Tiande.

“So the people next to me saw that he cut half of it by himself, and more people bought it, so we didn’t sell it for much time at all.”

Huang Erye was in high spirits. Telling Zhang An, this is equivalent to Zhao Tiande opening a big deal for them, and others will follow suit and buy together.

The price of venison is one dollar more than that of pork. In previous years, it was about the same price as pork.

The price of meat today is 4.5 yuan, so the venison was priced at 5.5 yuan.

What he is most happy about is that despite this, there are not many people bargaining with today.

Together with the venison we received last night, a total of 140 kilograms of venison, all have been sold out.

"By the way, Zhang An, he also told me that their village will kill pigs tomorrow, so he will come over to buy pigs tomorrow."

After counting the money, Mr. Huang remembered Zhao Tiande asked him to bring it.

"Yeah, well, come on then, or sell it, it will save my mother from having to feed those pigs every day."

Tomorrow will be the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it will be just the day in Changqing Village. Start killing pigs.

But many nearby villages have started killing New Year pigs in the past few days.

"Let's calculate the general ledger. The deer sold for 600 yuan today, plus the price of the other two deer, the total is 1,000 yuan."

The last three people divided Come down, three hundred and thirty-three per person.

There was only one yuan left, so I deducted the money to buy the zip ties.

"Second Master, just give me three hundred. You and Brother Ping are busy selling meat, so you should share more."

Second Master Huang did not agree. , but before he opened his mouth, Zhang An drew three hundred oceans for himself.

"I won't say too much. I'm not an outsider, just treat it as my filial piety and always buy you a drink."

After Zhang An said this, the old man accepted it with a smile.

"Second Master and Second Grandma, Brother Ping." Su Ying came over at this time.

"Xiao Ying is here, come and sit down." Mrs. Huang said happily when she saw Su Ying coming.

"Grandma, I won't sit down. I'm here to call Zhang An back for dinner."

"Oh, I have to prepare it here, so I'll eat here."

Grandma Huang had been cooking, but she came out to take a look when the old man came back.

Finally, I saw the money being divided, so we looked at it together.

"Come later, grandma, everyone at home is waiting for us to go back."

"Well, come later, tell grandma what you want to eat, and I will cook it for you."

Finally, the old lady personally escorted the young couple out of the yard.

“Daughter-in-law, please ask our mother when the holiday will be over. Let’s pick them up and celebrate the New Year together.”

On the way home, Zhang An discussed with his wife .

Before Su Ying got married, there were only three people in their family celebrating the New Year, which was quite deserted.

Now that Su Ying is married, only Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen are left, and it must be even more deserted.

Zhang An thought that it was not far away, so he might as well wait until the old couple went on their annual vacation and pick him up to celebrate the New Year together.

In this way, everyone will be lively and there won’t be many people at home on both sides.

"Okay, I'll call and ask tonight."

Su Ying just got married this year, and she was thinking about the old couple.

When Zhang An said this, she felt warm and happy in her heart.

"Zhang An, I'm going back in the afternoon and will come back when the pigs are killed."

Ding said while eating.

He has been out for several days. If he doesn't go back and take a look, he may not be able to go home again.

Not to mention Li Li, who has become grumpy, if he doesn't worry for a few days, his old mother will have to tease Li Li with him.

Anyway, the Zhang An family has to kill the pig the day after tomorrow. If they go back with the deer legs today, they might be able to make Li Lihong happy.

And he plans to bring Li Li over the day after tomorrow. When Su Ying is with him, it will be just for some relaxation.

"Okay, if it snows then, don't come. It's not safe on the road."

It hasn't snowed yet this year, and Zhang An is worried that it might snow tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Once the snow starts falling at the end of the year, it will definitely be heavy and it will be unsafe to drive.

"Hmm, I'll decide based on the weather then. By the way, what about you, Old Chen."

Ding Yi looked at Chen Ze and wanted to know his plan.

"I won't go back. I won't have to run around on the road. It won't be a big deal anyway."

Chen Ze definitely doesn't want to go back. He just learned the legendary Tai Chi today. Thirteen poses.

He also plans to practice more frequently here, so that he can be close enough to ask questions if he doesn’t understand something.

And as soon as he returns home, his family will urge him to get married, and then ask him to go on a blind date with so-and-so girl.

It’s so annoying to see so many people every day. After hearing this, Ding looked at Chen Ze with envy. He thought that it would be better if he was not married. He could make his own decisions. It was so free.

"By the way, Mom, Boss Zhao is coming to buy pigs tomorrow, and they are going to kill the New Year pig tomorrow."

Zhang An thought for a while and told his parents about this.

“Hmm, okay, then I will feed you a little more today and not tomorrow morning.”

In rural areas, New Year pigs are usually killed in the morning. Unless there are many pigs, they will not be killed in the afternoon. pig.

So Zhao Tiande will definitely come over early tomorrow morning to buy pigs.

Wang Fang feeds the pigs every morning when she gets up, which is three meals a day.

But if the pig was to be killed tomorrow, she would not feed it, which would also be convenient for other people who killed the pig.

If I were a different person and wanted to sell pigs tomorrow, I would definitely get up early and feed them a good meal so that I could buy more money.

But Wang Fang didn't want to make this money. Zhao Tiande didn't come just once. If you do this, they won't come again in the future.

And their family is not short of those few kilograms of pig money now, so there is no need to do this.

Besides, the price paid by Zhao Tiande for those wild boars was higher than that of ordinary people. Wang Fang must think about it.

After lunch, everyone took a rest and drank a cup of tea. Ding Yi went back.

"Let's go. Don't sit still after eating, otherwise you will not digest. I will take you to exercise."

Zhang An raked out the five-tooth nail and prepared to go to the rice field. Digging Bodhisattva.

"Where are you going? Is there any work to do?"

Chen Ze took the rake and asked. He was a little curious as to what work he had to do in winter.

"The few kilograms of Bodhisattva I brought you last time were delicious to you. Today we are going to dig Bodhisattva."

Their Bodhisattva is almost planted. It’s been a year, and now it’s time to dig.

“Hey, it’s that egg-sized Bodhisattva? You actually planted it.”

Chen Ze was deeply impressed by such a giant Bodhisattva, which tasted sweet and refreshing.

"Let's go, today I'm going to taste the water chestnuts I dug."

Then Zhang An led Dahei out. The whole family was ready, with pockets, hoes, etc., and the whole family set out.

When they arrived at the rice field, Zhang An asked Dahei to play nearby. There was no need for it yet.

Zhang Jianguo had already pressed the sickle and cut off the remaining Bodhisattva stems first.

After autumn, most of the Bodhisattva poles have withered away, leaving only a small part.

Zhang An and the others dug and dug in the small rice field with hoes.

“Wow, can you dig out so many from just one nest?”

Zhang An dug a hoe and turned up the mud. There were all egg-sized Bodhisattvas underneath.

They are densely packed underground and look really gratifying.

Chen Ze would like to peel a few off now, but there is no water to wash them now, so it is not convenient to bring only a sickle.

So I had to wait until I got back to eat, and then I followed Zhang An's example and dug in with my hoe.

It’s just the same hoe, and Zhang An didn’t break any of them when he dug.

When he arrived, he lifted it up with a hoe and found that the opening was full of Bodhisattva and had been dug out.

"I'm not going to use brute force like this. You have to save your strength, otherwise you will lose strength after a few strokes, and it will be easy to dig up the Bodhisattva."

Zhang An gave me another He demonstrated for a few times, and finally found that this person was really not suitable for farm work and could be damaged no matter how hard he dug.

“Forget it, stop digging, just pick it up from your mouth with your pocket.”

Waving the hoe did not tire Zhang An, but after teaching him a few times, Zhang An Feeling tired.

In this way, Zhang An dug alone, and then the three people behind him picked it up.

However, Zhang An moved quickly and soon dug up a piece of land, and the ground was covered with Bodhisattva.

"Zhang An's family is going to dig up water chestnuts. Oh, why are they so big?"

Several village neighbors on the road saw Zhang An's family working in the fields and came over to say hello.

You can walk over and be stunned. Is this still a Bodhisattva? It's a little potato.

Bodhisattva is not a rare fruit. During the season, it is sold in many streets. The price is not very expensive and anyone can afford it.

But now they saw the Bodhisattva, each one was as big as an egg.

It’s much bigger than the biggest one they bought on the street before.

And it seems that the Bodhisattva is almost the same size as the other one, very even.

"Isn't this ready to be dug? Let's dig some out first."

Wang Fang chatted with them, then picked up a large handful of Bodhisattva and handed it to them.

"Come on, come on, let's all have a taste."

A few people were not polite. They took the water chestnut, wiped the mud with their aprons, and bit off the skin with their teeth.

"I want this Bodhisattva. It's big, thin-skinned, and tastes sweeter than the ones sold on the street."

"Yes, this Bodhisattva tastes too comfortable to eat, so I have to sell it no matter what." Just one pound more per piece.”

No surprise, this Bodhisattva was unanimously praised by everyone.

The Bodhisattva sold on the street usually costs 50 cents per catty, but it is far from this.

A lot of people walked back and forth along the way. Everyone who saw it said that the Bodhisattva was amazing, and Wang Fang also gave some to everyone.

Zhang An just dug a small area and found that the three people behind him couldn't pick it up at all.

So he didn’t continue digging, but picked them up together.

In the end, in a small area, I picked up five or six bags full.

This is a bag of urea. Each bag can hold over a hundred pounds, and the area as big as your butt can hold more than five hundred pounds.

The yield is too much, and it can’t be dug out. It can’t be dug out at all.

If the entire field was dug, it would weigh at least five or six thousand kilograms.

"Okay, let's dig a little bit first, and wait until next week before we go to the market. Then we can dig a thousand pounds and try it on the street."

It's time to go to the market today, but now It was already afternoon, and it was too late to sell it on the street, so we had to wait until next week.

Although this Bodhisattva is easy to store, it is never as fresh as freshly dug ones.

So after digging these several hundred kilograms, Zhang An had no intention of continuing to dig.

Wait until next time before going to the market, come over and dig some more.

And there are many people killing pigs in the village these two days, so someone will definitely come and ask them to eat pig killing rice.

So Zhang An doesn’t have time to sell them in the city these days.

After returning home, Wang Fang washed a basin and brought it out for everyone to eat first.

Zhang An took a knife and peeled the water chestnuts one by one and placed them in the bowl in front of Su Ying.

"It's better to get married. Someone will prepare everything for you."

Chen Ze was also peeling the fruit with a fruit tool, but his speed was not as fast as Zhang An's.

I could only look at the couple with sour eyes, wishing that someone would peel them for me, and I would only be responsible for eating them.

"Pfft, why don't you quickly find a sister-in-law and let her peel it for you."

These sour words all revealed envy, which even made Su Ying feel jealous. Amused.

"No, even if he quickly finds a wife, can he really be cut off?"

Zhang An said to him with a half-smile.

"Well, forget it, I'm fine by myself."

Chen Ze looked at Zhang An. If he found one, he would most likely have to follow him. Zhang An is also responsible for peeling.

He felt that it was good to cut it and eat it himself.

Suddenly, instead of envying him, he felt a little pity for Zhang An.

“Nuo, you eat one too.”

At this moment, Su Ying took a shaved white water chestnut and fed it to Zhang An.

When Chen Ze saw this scene, he suddenly felt as if an invisible person was force-feeding him something.

If he told Zhang An, Zhang An would definitely tell him that it was called dog food.
