Chapter 45 Goose for Eagle
"What I'm saying is that you came to the door to buy it, and I didn't rush to sell it to you! If it's too expensive, go catch it yourself. I can't see such a big eagle all autumn. I haven't met him a few times, but there are many people who want him!" Wang Mazi completely controlled Zhu Erhai to death and wouldn't let go at all.
Zhu Erhai and his companion turned to look at each other. The other party had no money either.
Everyone who catches an eagle has said that you won’t encounter many large eagles in an autumn. This thing is hard to come by.
“If you make it cheaper, I definitely want it sincerely!”
"Five yuan, no less!"
Five yuan is also a sky-high price for Zhu Erhai.
What to do? The eagle was right in front of him, but he had no money to buy it. This uncomfortable feeling of not getting what he asked for was like an insect crawling on the soles of his feet, making him extremely irritable.
"I don't have so much money, otherwise, should I trade with you for something else?"
An idea flashed in Zhu Erhai's head, and he remembered the big geese raised by his grandfather's house.
Goose is a big livestock in the countryside. Three geese can eat as much as one cow. That means there is no shortage of food on the mountain side. Goose grass can be cut near the village. Goose eggs are sold every year, and the hatched goose chicks can still survive. In exchange for some money, someone can support you.
"Exchange something? What thing? I won't do it if it's cheap!"
Wang Mazi saw that the other party really couldn't afford so much money, and he was not willing to give up this customer who came to his door. , so I asked.
“Take the goose! I will exchange it for you with the big goose I have raised at home for three years!”
A big rooster is worth two to three yuan in the market, and a big goose, It's definitely worth four or five yuan.
"How old is the goose? Is it a male or a female?" Wang Mazi saw that the other party really couldn't afford five yuan, so he could barely accept it when he heard that the other party was willing to exchange it for a big goose.
Exchanging a big leopard worth two yuan for a big goose worth four or five yuan is a bloody gain no matter how you calculate it.
"Damn, it's been two or three years! She's still laying eggs!" Zhu Erhai said without thinking.
"Okay! Change it!"
"You wait here, I'll go back to get the goose!" Zhu Erhai told his companions, then turned around and left the hospital. Door.
As for this second child Zhu, he definitely belongs to the kind of person who is born with a crooked mind. He actually set his sights on his grandfather's house.
His father, Zhu Jianshe, is famous in the village for not supporting the elderly. Zhu Maocai, the grandfather of Zhu's second child, is too old to do heavy work. The food he and his wife live on every year is somewhat limited, and their lives are extremely poor. .
The old couple had no source of income. They raised a few geese at home, and they could sell goose eggs for some cents to buy some needles, thread, and brains. Even so, they couldn't escape their grandson's thoughts.
Zhu Erhai was afraid that Wang Mazi would regret selling the eagle to someone else, so he hurried home. After entering the village, he returned home and took out a fertilizer bag from the warehouse.
The grass and trees have not completely withered yet. Several geese from Grandpa's house are grazing in Shuipaozi behind the house during the day. Zhu Erhai went straight to Grandpa's house.
Zhu Erhai had no idea of discussing it with his grandfather. He was afraid that his grandfather would disagree and his father, Zhu Jianshe, would deal with him if it caused a big fuss, so his first plan was to catch him and stuff him into a fertilizer bag and leave.
These days, people’s customs are simple, and the old couple never loses the geese they raise, so they don’t keep looking at them when they let them out to graze during the day.
This gave Zhu Erhai room for maneuver.
This guy came to the small ditch behind the house with ease and quickly selected a big snow-white goose.
"Come on, come on! Come and eat grass!" Zhu Erhai picked up a cloudweed that the goose loved to eat from the grass, and whispered a greeting while slowly approaching.
The goose is not usually afraid of people, so when Zhu Erhai approached, the goose did not hide. Seeing that the other man still had his favorite wild vegetables in his hand, the silly goose put his head towards him.
With this welcome, there is no turning back.
Zhu Erhai quickly grabbed the big goose's neck with quick eyes and hands, then took out the fertilizer bag from his waist and shook it open. In three to five seconds, he stuffed the big goose into the bag. After he succeeded, he picked up the bag and turned around and left.
On the way out of the village, Zhu Erhai met several villagers. Usually when he met an aunt, a daughter-in-law, or something like that, Zhu Erhai would deliberately mutter something to say. Today he was very unusual. Without saying a word, as he walked, the faint sound of the big goose struggling could be heard in the bag.
There was no stopping along the way, and in less than an hour, Zhu Erhai returned to Wang Mazi's house carrying the big goose.
"I brought the big goose! Take a look!" Zhu Erhai put down the fertilizer bag on his shoulder and opened it to show the other person.
Wang Mazi took a look and found that it was indeed a fat and strong white goose, and his face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Okay, I'll trade with you! Take this big eagle!"
"Voluntary exchange, no matter what time, no regrets!" Zhu Erhai said in a very solemn way .
"Well, voluntary exchange, no regrets!"
Zhu Erhai opened the snakeskin bag containing the big eagle and took a look to confirm that there was no problem. He winked at his companion: "Let's go! Go home!"
The two of them had been out of Fang'an Village, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Humph, I have a big eagle too! In a few days, when the eagle is well trained, I can go up to the mountains to catch pheasants and rabbits! By then, the people in the village will all look up to me!"
Zhu Erhai carefully opened the pocket and took another look. The expression on his face was satisfied and full of expectation.
Wang Xiaonian, the loser on the side, said: "Brother Erbai, did you go to your grandpa's house to get the big white goose?"
"Well! My grandpa's house has six geese! You can exchange one big white goose for another. Big Eagle, we made a lot of money this time!
I borrowed it from my grandfather first, and then I will return it to them after catching the rabbit and pheasant!”
Hearing Zhu Erhai’s remarks, Wang Xiaonian's face collapsed: "Your grandpa doesn't know?"
"Well, I took it directly from the gutter behind the house! I didn't have time to tell my grandpa!" Zhu Erhai didn't feel at all what he had done. What's the problem with my son? After all, it says in the villain's book, follow the authority in emergencies! !
"Then when you get home, your dad knows about it and won't he deal with you?"
"What's my grandfather's will be mine in the future! Besides, I'm borrowing it, but I'm not refusing to pay it back!"
" Okay, when your eagle training comes out in the future, don’t forget me! I told you the news!” Wang Xiaonian said about his contribution.
"Don't worry! We will be trained by then. We will go up the mountain to catch rabbits and pheasants together, and you will have a share of the prey!"
"Brother Erhai is a righteous man!!"
...
While rushing home, the two brothers sketched a grand blueprint for the future. When they got home, there was no one at home, and the second child was mostly relieved.
The eagle has been brought back, but how to train it has become a problem before us.
Zhu Erhai also wanted to imitate Yue Feng and tie ropes to the two talons of the eagle, but he did not know how to use the two-part eagle tripper used by professionals to tie eagles. After working with Wang Xiaonian for a long time, he also The eagle's legs were not fastened.
The twisted rope is not easy to use to tie the eagle. If you tighten the rope, the eagle's talons will not bleed. If you tighten it, the eagle will come out as soon as it struggles. Fortunately, it is locked in the room. Otherwise, the task of fastening the eagle would be enough for the big leopard to run away three times.
Finally, it was Wang Xiaonian who came up with a trick.
Please vote! I've fallen one place in the ranking. My adoptive father saves me! !
