The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 87

According to the contracts signed with various fried chicken restaurants in Qishan, Wang Shaodong will send more than 90 seven-month-old roosters to Qishan every day.

And with so many chickens, my father's motorcycle and pannier cannot carry them.

So, the father and son took out the last 1 yuan left at home and went to the county town to buy a three-wheeled motorcycle.Then, the two of them bought four more iron cages for chickens, and then went home.

This is the last 1 yuan of their family's money, and all other money is invested in the chicken coop. In the end, 2000 yuan was invested in 8 seven-month-old chickens, and 21 yuan was invested in the chicken coop equipment, and the remaining money was invested in a total of almost [-] yuan.

After returning home, Wang Shaodong learned how to drive a three-wheeled motorcycle all afternoon.

In Taohualing Village, Wang Shaodong's family was the first to buy a three-wheeled motorcycle.This kind of motorcycle is very convenient for short-distance and small-scale transportation, and it is not very troublesome to drive.

The next day, at four o'clock in the morning on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Shaodong woke up listening to the alarm clock.Then came to the chicken coop.

Wang Fumin has already got up and is stuffing the chicken coop.

Before selling the chickens, let the chickens eat some feed and gain a little weight. This is what almost all chicken farmers will do.It costs 2 cents to eat 2 taels of feed, and 6 yuan and [-] cents to sell more. If the quantity is large, it will be a lot of income.

Zhao Shiling heard the movement in the big house, put on her clothes and came to the chicken coop.

"My baby, go get a bowl of noodles first, and let our son eat it later."

As soon as Zhao Shiling entered the chicken coop, Wang Fumin yelled at her.

Zhao Shiling agreed, then turned and left.

Wang Shaodong stood outside the net that kept the chickens, looked at his father in the henhouse where his father was watering the chicken stuffing, and then said, "Dad, is there enough feed for our family?"

Up to now, the weight of the feed that those 2 chickens eat every day has increased, and they eat two tons a day, which costs 4 yuan a day.

"It's enough, but at most it's enough for five or six days."

The Wang family's warehouse for storing feed is not too big, there is no room for twenty tons of feed.

Wang Shaodong frowned, and then said to his father: "Dad, if anyone calls today to ask the price of our 2 chickens, you can tell them that we will open a shop to sell chickens on the 4th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the price is 5 yuan and 8 yuan." One catty, and chicken dealers who are willing can come and pull the chicken."

In the previous life, the price of Ma Zhentang’s 5 chicken cart was 5 yuan and 5 yuan, but I remember that they didn’t sell it at the highest price a year ago, and I opened it for 8 yuan and [-] yuan, so I would definitely be able to sell it.

If the price goes up by [-] cents, the profit of a chicken will increase by [-] yuan, which is not a small sum after all.

Now Wang Fumin believes in his son, and his son is willing to learn. He spends his days reading books on raising chickens or collecting information on raising chickens on the Internet. He now feels that his son is a talent, and this gold will shine everywhere.

"Okay, I think 5 yuan and 8 can be sold."

"Also, our family will be very busy on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, so we need to find some helpers. Call my three uncles and two uncles over, and ask my little sister-in-law to come over and help my mother cook. Yes Well, this time we have a lot of chickens, we need to find a chicken catching team to catch chickens, when Zhao Mingwei calls you later, you tell him to ask him to contact the chicken catching team on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, and we will pay for the chicken catching."

The money for catching chickens is usually paid by the party that bought the chickens, and the Wang family took the initiative to bear the money, which can be regarded as an expression of sincerity.

After all, everyone in this group of chickens knows that the Wang family is going to make a lot of money. If you care about it, no one will want to be your friend.

Seeing that he was going to make a lot of money, Wang Fumin said happily: "It's easy to find a chicken catching team to catch chickens. It costs 8000 cents a chicken, and the total is only [-] yuan. Let's just pay."

Seeing that the chickens were almost eaten, Wang Fumin turned off the lights, and then began to catch the chickens with a flashlight.

After turning off the lights, the chicken's eyesight is very poor, and it can hardly see anything, so it is at the mercy of people.

Wang Fumin was busy catching chickens and stuffing them into the cage in the rear compartment of Wang Shaodong's three-wheeled motorcycle, while Wang Shaodong hurried to the main room to eat.

This time I went to Qishan, a short [-]-mile journey back and forth. When I arrived at Qishan, I had to deliver chickens from house to house to settle accounts, so it would be nice to be able to catch lunch when I finished my work.If you don't eat something, you won't be able to survive for such a long time.

Wang Shaodong went to the house to drink noodles, and then Zhao Shiling went to help her husband catch chicken.

Now the average weight of Wang's chickens has reached 7 catties. Wang Fumin can hold four chickens with one hand and eight with two hands, while Zhao Shiling can only hold three chickens with one hand and six with two hands.

In this way, there were 92 chickens in total, and the couple ran back and forth seven times.

After catching all the chickens, Wang Fumin and his wife looked at their son who came out of the house, and then Zhao Shiling stepped forward to help her son tidy up his clothes, and helped him wrap his military coat and put on his helmet.

"Dongzi, be careful on the road."

Wang Shaodong nodded: "Understood, mother, you two are also tired, go back to the house and go to rest."

On the mountain road at five o'clock in the twelfth lunar month, the sky was dark, and a three-wheeled motorcycle with bright lights was bumping and moving forward on the road.

Looking ahead, Wang Shaodong saw hope and happiness.

Isn't the happiest thing in life that you put in the effort and get rewarded?

Wang Shaodong has never felt how happy it is to get something for nothing. No matter how much he gets, Wang Shaodong will not feel the slightest sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

The cold wind in the twelfth lunar month was bitter, and even though the military coat and the big helmet were separated, the cold wind still penetrated into his body from the gap in the neck and the hem of the military coat.

However, Wang Shaodong's enthusiasm was high, and this difficulty was nothing to him at all.

It is definitely cold, but Wang Shaodong's heart is hot. He sang loudly, and the singing sound echoed in this empty mountain.

"Walking in all directions, the road is long and the water is long, and the village is confused!"

Letting go of his singing voice made Wang Shaodong feel less cold.

After turning from Dazhai Village to National Highway 205, the bumpy mountain road turned into a flat asphalt road, and Wang Shaodong felt even more at ease.

The road gets better and better, the days get more and more prosperous, and my life becomes more and more colorful.

From Taohualing Village to Qishanguan Village, there is a total of [-] to [-] miles away. For the next [-] days, Wang Shaodong has to go back and forth every day.

When Wang Shaodong came to the foot of Qishan Mountain, it was already six o'clock in the morning.

It was still dark, but there was a ray of dawn in the east. Wang Shaodong looked at the ray of dawn in the east, and stood happily at the foot of Qishan, giggling while urinating.
