The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 92
After Laba is the new year, every household starts to be busy.

On Laba day, Wang Shaodong and his son got drunk at He Jiaqing's house, then soaked Laba garlic, and all the work of cooking Laba porridge fell to Zhao Shiling.

At around six o'clock in the evening, both father and son woke up. Seeing two bowls of porridge on the table in the main hall, the father and son knew that it was prepared for the two of them. Each head drank.

Wang Shaodong and his son were drinking porridge when Zhao Shiling walked in from the outside and said to Wang Fumin very dissatisfied: "Your child is ignorant and you are ignorant. Both of them are so drunk. Everyone is busy with Laba. Let's Home is fine, you two actually slept all afternoon."

Wang Fumin and Wang Shaodong scratched their heads in embarrassment, then Wang Shaodong looked at his mother and said, "Mother, you also know my uncle Qing's temper. If we don't drink this wine, he will never let my grandfather drink it." The two came back."

"Jiaqing is happy to have made a lot of money, why are you two fooling around like this?"

As soon as Wang Fumin heard it, he said, "Hey, my mother, how could He Jiaqing earn so much money without our son?"

"It's all your son's ability, okay?" Zhao Shiling's face was full of pride when he said this.

Then, Zhao Shiling brought out two plates of still warm dumplings from the cupboard, put them on the table, and the family of three gathered around to eat.

Because he had to get up early tomorrow to deliver the chickens, Wang Shaodong had dinner, went to the west mountain for some activities, and then went home to sleep.

During the three days of the ninth day, the tenth day, and the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Shaodong and Zhao Shiling didn't go anywhere, and stayed at home obediently.

In the past three days, many people have called their family to inquire about buying chickens. Two chicken dealers from Luzhong City came over and directly paid a deposit of 2000 yuan, planning to ask for [-] chickens each.

The [-] chickens of the Wang family now seem to have no worries about selling them.

On the phone, Wang Fumin made an agreement with those who wanted to buy chicken, and the price was 5 yuan and 8 a catty.

Because chickens are raised in cages, it is much more convenient to catch chickens than free-range chickens.

It is unimaginably difficult for free-range chickens to catch chickens during the day, but cage chickens do not have to worry about this problem.

So, early in the morning on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the two chicken dealers who paid the deposit hurried over by their own cars.

When the two chicken dealers came, Wang Shaodong's two uncles and three uncles hadn't come yet.

Fortunately, Wang Fumin had already greeted the neighbors around. No. 12 heard the news this morning, Ma Zhentang came over first, and then He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang also came together.

Today is the big fair in Dazhai Township, and the villagers of Taohualing Village have to go to the fair to buy new year's goods, otherwise, there will be a few friends in the village who are close to the Wang family to come to help.

Rural people pay more attention to the New Year than urban people. After Laba, the biggest focus of rural people is to prepare for the New Year.

There are two markets that are relatively close to Taohualing Village, one is Dazhai Village Market and the other is Miaozi Village Market.The market in Dazhai Village has a large market with a full range of goods, while the market in Miaozi Village is a small market with incomplete goods.Therefore, the villagers of Taohualing Village will first choose to go to Daji Village in Dazhai Village to be on duty for the Spring Festival.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was the big fair in Dazhai Village, and the villagers wanted to take advantage of this time to buy clothes at the fair.

The next episode will be on the 22th of the twelfth lunar month, and then the next one will be the 27nd of the twelfth lunar month. The last Dazhai Village Market will be on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month. easy.

In 2002, most rural people bought their New Year's clothes from the market.

Wang Shaodong's family had no chance to go to the market today, not only did they have no chance, even the three families of Ma Zhentang, He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang didn't plan to go to the market.

He Jiaqing's daughter-in-law came over early in the morning when he heard that the Wang family was going to sell chickens.

Seeing that everyone was coming, Wang Shaodong immediately arranged for his father Wang Fumin, neighbors Ma Zhentang, He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang to catch chickens, while he and his mother Zhao Shiling took on the work of keeping accounts and collecting money.As for He Jiaqing's wife, Wang Shaodong arranged for her to light a fire and boil water.

Today, [-] chickens have to be moved a day, and basically there is no time to lose.

It is much easier to catch chickens from chicken coops than from free-range chicken coops. However, no matter how fast four people catch chickens, they will have to catch 4000 chickens within a year of the monkey.

One person can catch at most ten chickens in one trip, and one hundred trips are needed to catch one thousand chickens. Even if it takes three minutes to catch one trip, it will take three hundred minutes to catch them all.

But today, the Wang family wants to sell [-] chickens, so they need more people to catch chickens.

An hour later, the four of Wang Fumin and the others only caught a thousand chickens in total, and then Zhao Mingwei, a big chicken dealer in southern Tainan City, came with a professional chicken catching team.

The chicken catching team consisted of more than [-] villagers from Zhai Town, Southern Tainan City, and they followed Zhao Mingwei to catch chickens all over the place.

Professional, and his work efficiency far exceeds that of Wang Fumin and others.

As soon as more than 3000 people went into battle, it was like a gust of wind blowing, and then all the more than [-] chickens were caught.

Two chicken dealers from Luzhong City quickly settled the bill. There were 11 chickens in total, weighing 300 catties, and the Wang family sold them for [-] yuan.

A total of 21 yuan was invested in the 4000 chickens, but only [-] chickens were sold, and more than half of the cost was recovered. This made Wang Fumin and his wife very happy.

While Wang Fumin and Wang Shaodong were paying for the chicken with the two chicken dealers in the main hall, Wang Shaodong's two uncles and three uncles also came over.

After accepting more than 11 cash, Wang Shaodong then called Ma Zhenyu, who was in charge of credit in the village.

When Ma Zhenyu saw so much money, his heart was pounding.

Ma Zhenyu can only absorb about 50 deposits a year, and it was the first time he saw so much money all at once.

He is Ma Zhentang's younger brother, and he also knows something about raising chickens, but it is the first time he has seen that raising chickens can make so much money.

With 11 cash in hand, the receipt was issued, and then Ma Zhenyu hurriedly rode a motorcycle to go to the rural credit cooperative in the village to go through the formalities.

Wang Fumin told him that he would come back later, and the Wang family had to save a lot of money today.

When Ma Zhenyu met Ma Zhentang and asked, he realized that the Wang family had just started selling chickens, and there were still many chickens left unsold, which made him even more excited.

What does 11 think of Ma Zhenyu?
He absorbs deposits and gets five-thousandths of the benefits from the Rural Credit Cooperative. 11 is 550 yuan. These days, where can such a good thing be done, so much money can be easily earned in a day? ?

After completing the formalities from the Rural Credit Cooperative, Ma Zhenyu went directly to Wang Fumin's house and waited.

With the help of the chicken catching team, the Wang family's chicken selling speed increased by more than ten times.

Chicken sales started at 04:30 am, and at 2:4 pm, before the rural credit cooperatives closed, the Wang family sold all [-] red jade chickens.Then Wang Fumin and Wang Shaodong followed Ma Zhenyu to the Rural Credit Cooperative, opened a new booklet, and put all the money into the same passbook.

These chickens weighed a total of 123120 catties and sold for 714000 yuan, far exceeding Wang Shaodong's expectations.

The Wang family made a total of more than 50 yuan from this batch of chickens, which shocked the breeding area and even the entire Taohualing Village!
