hunting in 1986

Chapter 85 84 Motorcycles, selling eggs

The couple lay down until almost noon before getting up. Li Yan's skin was rosy, tender and shiny.

She tied up her hair and gave Wang Yuan a reproachful look, and dragged him to feed the chickens without thinking about cooking.

The two walked quickly on the field ridge, surrounded by patches of farmland, not far from the roadside, there were a lot of wild flowers blooming, and some beautiful butterflies were flying.

The sky is blue with white clouds.

It is really a fascinating hometown beauty.

"It's all your fault. Every day I come early to feed the chickens. The hens must be very hungry for coming so late today."

"Haha, how is that possible? The grass grows in the field and the chickens can find food by themselves."

The two came to the gate of the chicken farm, opened the gate, and walked in to feed the chickens amidst the barking of the big wolf dog.

It was much faster for the young couple to work together, especially Wang Yuan was very agile at work, and even Li Yan sighed: "It's faster to work with one more person."

Wang Yuan scattered several basins of water in the chicken farm, so that the hens could drink water nearby when they were thirsty. After a while, he found two big roosters fighting, so he squatted aside and watched with interest.

"Googoogah~"

The two big roosters are arrogant and high-spirited, neither of them obeys the other. They stare with their eyes, peck with their beaks, kick their feet, hula la~ the wind blown by their wings blows up a cloud of dust.

Li Yan was using a shovel to shovel grass, and stopped immediately when she saw Wang Yuan's appearance:
"What's so interesting about chickens fighting, hurry up and get to work."

"Isn't the work done?"

"I haven't picked the eggs on the east side yet, go and pick them up."

Wang Yuan smiled and took a basket and walked eastward. The eggs were hidden in the grass, really like picking up treasures.

"I should call the little girl to let her pick it up. She likes to pick up eggs. I can give her two pieces of candy at most."

"Pfft~ Don't call your sister around all the time, the little girl is still young."

Li Yan also laughed. The big wolf dog was always wagging its tail and bouncing around her.

Sudden.

A motorcycle's "chug chug" sounded from the north, and the sound could be heard clearly through the wall from far to near, and finally the sound disappeared at the gate, and then the gate was slapped.

"Wang Wang Wang ~"

The big wolf dog immediately ran to the door and yelled, Li Yan also looked at Wang Yuan curiously.

"I'll go see who's here."

Wang Yuan went to open the door curiously. The first figure that flashed in his mind was Li Hang. They didn't have motorcycles in the village, but Li Hang had motorcycles among his friends.

When Wang Yuan got married, he borrowed Li Hang's motorcycle to bring Li Yan back.

squeak~
After opening the door, Wang Yuan was taken aback. He didn't expect that outside the door was Wang Shuai, who had a feud with him.

"Why, this guy Wang Yuanyi doesn't know me?" Wang Shuai was wearing a leather jacket and big sunglasses, riding on a motorcycle in high spirits.

He saw the shock in Wang Yuan's eyes, and instantly raised his chin triumphantly: "Look at this new motorcycle, brother, happiness is two hundred and five, you are so envious haha."

"You tiger, you, are you here to show off?"

Wang Yuan glanced at Wang Shuai, he had to admit that the latter was really rich and even bought a motorcycle in April 1987.

"Tsk tsk, a motorcycle is worth a lot of money. It seems that you often go to the mountains to steal pine trees."

"Don't be silly, who stole the pine tree, I made money from selling fish!"

"Is selling fish so profitable?"

"Eh...not too much money." Wang Shuai seemed to be afraid that Wang Yuan would compete with him for business, so he laughed and said, "It's just to earn some hard money, so don't even think about meddling in here. The water is deep here. No one can't play with you.

Well, weigh me an egg for 10 yuan, and it can be regarded as taking care of your business. "

Wang Yuan smiled and said nothing, took ten yuan and went back to the chicken farm, and soon came out with a basket of eggs.

"People in our village buy it for 6 cents a catty, but here it is 16 catties and 7 taels, which weighs quite high."

"Okay, I'll come to your house to buy after I finish eating."

Wang Shuai was not good at arithmetic and couldn't calculate the exact weight, so he decided not to waste his brain, and left on a motorcycle with a basket of eggs on his back.

"Remember to return the basket to me!"

"I will never forget it."

Wang Yuan gave 10 yuan to his wife Li Yan. The latter was very happy to take the money and hold it up to the sun. This was the first time he saw the money back.

Although Wang Yuan and Wang Shuai did not deal with each other, in fact, the previous generations of the two families had no conflicts, and the elders would greet each other when they saw each other.

So when Wang Shuai came to buy eggs, he would sell them to the other party.

It may be that Wang Shuai was seen by the people in the village carrying a basket of eggs. After a while, villagers came to buy eggs. One family sold three catties and the other five catties, and soon sold another twenty catties.

Li Yan had more than ten yuan more in her hand, she smiled and stuffed the money into her pocket quickly, as if someone would rob her of the money.

The two locked the door and walked home. Wang Yuan planned to contact the chicken feed later.

Li Yan said with a smile as she walked: "People in our village are quite rich, so many people come to buy eggs to eat in such a short period of time."

Wang Yuan said: "The people who come here are all richer ones, and the poor ones won't come here either. I'll go to the city to sell eggs in two days, and I'll make more money when I turn back."

……

Early this morning, mist shrouded the small mountain village.

Liu Weiguo drove the ox cart to the gate of the chicken farm, while Wang Yuan loaded boxes of eggs onto the ox cart. There were crickets calling and grasshoppers jumping in the surrounding grass, and his trouser legs were wet with dew.

"Xiao Yuan, I tied up these baskets, eggs are too easy to break."

Liu Weiguo was wearing a gray denim jacket and had a beard. Maybe his food has improved a lot in recent months and he has become a lot rounder.

Looking at the baskets of eggs, he was very envious. An egg is a treasure, let alone so many.

"Thank you, Uncle Wei."

"It's not hard work, I wish you could use me a few more times, haha~"

Wang Yuan didn't ride a bicycle, and the two of them drove directly to the city in a bullock cart, swaying around, and occasionally the old scalper mooed.

Although the speed is slow, I feel quite leisurely when I accept it from the bottom of my heart. The spring breeze is blowing, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

"Xiaoyuan, shall we go directly to the supply and marketing cooperative?"

"No, let's go to the restaurant first to get to know the way?"

"I know you, I've been there before."

The restaurant is very busy near the meal time, and the tables are full of customers. There are not only many locals but also many old customers from Guan, with various accents.

But most of these old customers have one characteristic - rich!
"Xiaoyuan brought eggs, oh, there are so many."

Li Shen happened to be here, and he was shocked when he saw an ox cart of eggs. The restaurant doesn't use so many eggs.

"It's okay, as long as the restaurant can be used, I can move it down, and I will sell the rest to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the cost can be lowered by using our own eggs."

"Okay, let's move two baskets down."

In the past, restaurants bought eggs from supply and marketing cooperatives, and a catty of eggs cost 1.2 to 1.3 yuan, and the price fluctuated slightly.

The price of eggs provided by Wang Yuan is only 8 cents per catty, which is higher than the 6 cents per catty given to the villagers, but it is much lower than the price offered by the supply and marketing cooperative.

Although they are all in Lindu, in terms of price, city > county > town, so Wang Yuan took the trouble to sell eggs in the city.

The remaining eggs were sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives, who wanted them. Eggs are also in short supply, and the price is also 8 cents a catty.

A cart of eggs sold for a total of 412.4 yuan.

After selling the eggs, Wang Yuan and Uncle Wei Guo returned to the small courtyard behind the restaurant, and soon a waiter brought the food, and the two of them were so hungry at noon that they sat cross-legged next to the Kang table, eating big mouthfuls stand up.

"It's delicious, Xiao Yuan. The food in this restaurant is delicious." Liu Weiguo's face was full of happiness, and before he could swallow the egg, he picked up another piece of chicken with chopsticks.

Wang Yuan poured him a glass of wine with a smile, and then poured it for himself: "Come on, let's rely on Uncle Wei to transport eggs in the future."
