Chapter 644 Buying Deer Antler
“Zhang An, since you have deer here, there must be deer antler.”
Hearing about the deer, Cheng Peng and the other men paid attention It is obviously different from several women, and it immediately reminds me of deer antlers.
"Of course, you must go for the antlers when raising deer."
Zhang An nodded immediately. Whether it was here or in the village, he had always thought about cutting the antlers. of.
Although many people say that cutting deer antlers is too cruel, Zhang An doesn’t think so.
Deer are in the mountains. Although no one cuts their antlers, they still have to consider their daily lives.
And once they encounter a predator, people may be concerned about it. Not the antlers on their heads, but the naked flesh.
While being raised by others, although you lose your freedom, you don’t have to worry about whether you have enough to eat or not.
The most important thing is that you won’t encounter predators, and you don’t have to worry about losing your life every day when the wind blows.
The price paid is just the pair of antlers on the top of the head. Besides, even if people don't cut them off, they will knock them off sooner or later.
"Do you have any here now? Sell me some."
Hearing this, Cheng Peng, Jin Wen and others' eyes lit up and they spoke out.
Deer antler is not only a famous health-preserving medicine, but also a treasure for middle-aged people like them, who are about to grow up. But few people will not be tempted after knowing it.
As for Ran Xia and the other women, they had no idea when they first heard about deer antler. It wasn’t until they saw their men talking to Zhang An for a long time that they realized what they were doing, and their eyes began to twinkle. A strange light.
After all, when a woman reaches the age of thirty, what she desires is not only material needs, but also harmony in life.
"Well, I do have it here, but I have no plans to sell it. If you really want it, you can go to the village and ask our village chief. He must have it."
Although the eyes of several people were very eager to buy, Zhang An shook his head and did not agree.
He does have a lot of deer antlers here, but there are not many normal deer antlers. After all, he can only cut one crop a year from the heads of Dahua and his sons and grandsons.
Others are cut in space, and the effect is definitely better than normal deer antler. If it is not a special situation, or if it is asked by a close friend, he does not intend to sell it.
And he also wanted to take this opportunity to introduce a few people to Zhang Jianwen, so that he could help promote the village.
After all, the herd of deer in the village has been raised for more than a year. Last year alone, Zhang Jianwen asked Mr. Zhang to cut two antler crops, so he should still have some in stock.
"Okay, okay, let's go ask first."
When they first heard Zhang An said that he didn't plan to sell, they felt quite disappointed and were about to give some persuasion.
But after hearing the next sentence, they immediately reacted. Knowing that Zhang An wanted to give away these benefits, they suddenly looked at Zhang An highly.
But that’s all. After all, they need to spend money to buy deer antlers, so it doesn’t matter who they buy it for.
After finishing speaking, several people dragged Chen Ze and took them to the village to find the village chief Zhang Jianwen.
"I want one of your black goats and wild goats. Come and catch them before setting off tomorrow."
But before walking out of the yard, Cheng Peng turned back to Zhang again An said.
"Of course. Whenever you need me, you can just come over and catch me. Anyway, I am always at home when I have nothing to do."
Hearing this, Zhang An immediately smiled and replied. He originally thought Cheng Peng was just joking, but he didn't expect it to be serious.
After receiving Zhang An's reply, the group of people walked towards the village with the wine jar in their arms.
After sending them away, Zhang An returned home and found his mother.
“Mom, here, this is the money they spent to buy wine.”
Zhang An, the wine seller, didn’t want to keep it, but gave it directly to his mother.
Because since the Chinese New Year, apart from selling chickens, ducks, rabbits or eggs from time to time, the family has not had any serious income.
He knows that what his mother likes most is collecting money, so he will definitely be happy for several days when he gets this money.
"Oh? So many, how many have been sold."
As expected, Wang Fang took the thick stack of hundred-dollar bills handed over by her son, and the smile on her face suddenly brightened. before.
Even the reluctance to spend the past two days to buy bricks, cement and sand disappeared.
"A total of seven jars were sold, adding up to thirty-five kilograms."
Zhang An only told his mother how much wine he had sold, but did not directly say how much money there was.
Because he knew that even if he said it, his mother would count it again.
It’s better not to say anything and let the old mother count it by herself and experience the joy of counting money.
"His third aunt, you said these are also roasted wine, why is there such a big difference? Our family Anzi stays at home every day, and someone will come and deliver it, while the old Wang family goes out every day Harvesting millet, harvesting corn, harvesting sorghum to bake wine, I don’t know how long it will take to make so much money selling wine.”
Looking at the thick stack of money in Wang Fang’s hand, the second aunt couldn’t help but sigh. got up.
The money was all brand new. According to her estimate, it was at least more than 10,000 yuan.
As members of their own family, they have long known that the wine made by their eldest nephew is not cheap.
But seeing with her own eyes that more than 30 kilograms of wine sold for so much money, she still felt sad. When did this money become so easy to make?
But it’s a shame, she won’t be jealous because of this.
Because she knew that according to her eldest nephew's temperament, if the family really needed money, Zhang An would send the money without them having to ask.
One more thing, in the past two years, because of Zhang An's relationship, their family has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Not to mention anything else, the kiwi fruit orchard at home alone can earn them tens of thousands of yuan in income a year, which is a good thing that other families do not have.
So she is already very satisfied. As for jealousy, that is something only a brainless person would think of.
“No, our Anzi has a great future. Thinking about the past few years, those talkative women in the village always said that our Anzi stayed at home every day, just like a big girl. Now I Let’s go and ask first where their tongues are hidden.”
The third aunt still held a grudge. While she was happy for her eldest nephew’s family, she also thought of the past.
Since childhood, the third aunt has always been very fond of Zhang An. In this regard, even the second aunt Zhang cannot compare.
A few years ago, before Zhang An met Su Ying, their sisters-in-law were worried about this matter.
At that time, people were asked everywhere to help Zhang An introduce suitable girls, but many people shook their heads when Zhang An was mentioned.
Even now, the third aunt can't forget those faces, so that every time she gets together with those people, she is used to making some sarcastic remarks.
After dinner in the evening, Zhang An and Zhang Jianguo and their son laid bricks in the yard. Because they are red bricks, they need to be watered before use. This is preparation for tomorrow.
“It seems that the second brother and the others have laid the bricks very quickly today. They have already used so many of the bricks they just pulled in.”
At this time, Zhang Jianwen was dangling from the outside. Came in. "That's of course. The bricks are really fast to build. The money is not wasted. It's not like building stone walls in the past. You can't do much in one day."
In fact, before When building a new house, Zhang Jianguo was reluctant to spend money to buy bricks. He always thought that using stones would save a lot of money.
But later after seeing how quickly people built brick walls, he no longer objected. Zhang An didn’t need to tell him to build the sheepfold this time, he was willing to use bricks. After all, shortening the construction period would save a lot of trouble. .
"By the way, Xiao An, the people who went to buy deer antlers today must have passed by you."
After a few words, Zhang Jianwen asked.
When those people first said they wanted to buy deer antlers, he didn’t think much about it.
But after seeing Chen Ze, he became strange. It stands to reason that with Chen Ze taking him, those who want to buy would have to come to Zhang An to buy more. After all, the relationship between the two is not ordinary. This kind of money-making thing There is no reason to bypass Zhang An.
Later, he felt that Zhang An should have introduced him.
So he came here to talk to Zhang An. After all, it was a lot of money.
"Yes, they came from here. They originally wanted to buy it from me, but I thought there must be some in the village, so I asked them to go and find you, uncle."
Zhang An nodded and said directly, whether it is a favor or a good thing, it only matters if people know about it.
"Let me just say, but those people are really rich. The two crops we harvested last year were all bought by them, and they made more money than selling them to those drug dealers and Chinese medicine halls."< br>
Zhang Jianwen was very happy when he talked about this. He originally planned to sell the two crops last year to a Chinese medicine hall, but the price offered there was too low, so he thought of selling them to this year.
Unexpectedly, Zhang An introduced a few people here and sold them all directly according to the market price, and even made a profit on them.
And judging from the looks of those people, they may come again in the future, which is definitely good news for the village.
"That's for sure. Those people are all from the provincial capital. Those who can be with Chen Ze are basically not far behind. By the way, uncle, when the sheepfold at my house is built, I will I am preparing to bring back my deer.”
A few years ago, Zhang An was planning to bring back his own deer herd, but it was difficult to keep them at bay.
This time a new sheepfold happened to be built, and the big pen was completely empty, so there was no need to worry about this problem.
"What's the hurry? Just lock it up in the deer park first. A sheep is herding a group of sheep."
Speaking of this, although the village is helping Zhang An's family raise deer. , Zhang An’s family also cuts the deer antler themselves, but there are also benefits to the village.
Nowadays, as the scale of the deer park is getting bigger and bigger, the reputation of Changqing Deer Park is increasing day by day.
Every day just relying on those people to buy grass to feed the deer can make a lot of money, which is a real benefit.
Not to mention, with Zhang An’s big flowers helping to sow the seeds, the chances of those does in the deer park having calves are frighteningly high.
I believe that within two years, the number of deer in the village will double.
At this time, Zhang An wanted to drive Dahua and the others back, but Zhang Jianwen was really reluctant to do so.
"Uncle, the number of deer in the village has increased anyway. I will drive the big flowers back, and a king deer will appear in the deer park sooner."
Actually, Zhang An wanted to Now, while you can still clearly distinguish the quantity, hurry up and separate this matter clearly.
Especially since the herds of deer are still reproducing, and their numbers will increase in the future, it will become increasingly unclear.
And now Zhang Jianwen is getting older and older. If he waits for him to retreat and someone is sent down from above, it will be a mess.
"Okay, let's wait until you get it done."
Seeing that Zhang An had already made his decision, Zhang Jianwen said nothing more.
Early the next morning, Cheng Peng and others drove to the door of Zhang An's house.
"You are getting ready to leave so early. Why don't you leave before you have dinner?"
Zhang An was mixing mortar with his father when he saw a few people coming. I had to put down the shovel in my hand.
“No wait, we have to drive for a long time to get back. If we wait until we get back after dinner, it might be dark.”
When several people saw Zhang Jianguo, they came up and started to fight. He wanted to say hello and was about to smoke a cigarette, but Zhang Jianguo hadn’t smoked for several years, so he just refused with a smile.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Who told us that there is no highway here? When the highway is built in the future, it will be faster to go back."
If Zhang An remembers correctly, the highway to the provincial capital will start construction in two years. As for the high-speed rail, that will have to wait.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to catch sheep.”
Knowing exactly what these people were here for, Zhang An didn’t waste their time and led them directly to the pen. Walk.
"Zhang An, why don't you help us choose? I really don't know which one to choose. It's probably similar to the one we ate that day, just fatter. As for the wild goat, let's try to be as big as possible. . ”
Before coming, Cheng Peng had already thought about what kind of sheep he wanted to pick, but when he arrived, Zhang An’s family had so many sheep that it was almost a mess.
“Okay, then I’ll go in and catch it for you to take a look at.”
Hearing Cheng Peng’s request, Zhang An opened the pen door and walked into the flock, and quickly caught one. A black goat weighing over a hundred pounds came out.
“Here, let’s see if this one fits.”
“It looks about the same. How much does this sheep weigh?”
Cheng Peng looked at it. Eyes, I felt it was almost the same, so I nodded.
"This one weighs just over a hundred kilograms, no more than one hundred and ten kilograms. But after slaughtering, it only weighs six or seventy kilograms, which is similar to the one we ate that day."
Zhang An held the sheep with both hands. He picked it up and weighed it before talking to Cheng Peng.
“Ah, there’s such a big difference.”
Cheng Peng and others have never been exposed to these things, so they don’t know that there is such a thing as meat production rate.
“This has been calculated. The meat yield rate of my sheep is about 60%. If it were another one, if a hundred kilograms of sheep were slaughtered, there might only be forty or fifty kilograms of mutton. ”
Then Zhang An tied the sheep in his hand with a rope, walked towards the foot sheep, and picked out a weighing one hundred and fifty kilograms.
"You want to put them in the trunk, then I will tie them up with ropes to prevent them from moving around on the road, but remember to feed them some water every once in a while."
< br>Before they could speak, Zhang An found two ropes and tied up the two sheep.
“Okay, we get it.”
After listening to Zhang An’s words, Cheng Peng specially brought a large pot of water and put it in the car.
