My village can't be like this

Chapter 296 That's called dog food

"Anzi, go, sit with me."

Before noon, Zhang Ping took Huang Erye back to the village in a carriage.

When passing by the door of Zhang An's house, he shouted inside.

"Hey, okay, you go first and I'll be right here."

Zhang An was a little surprised when he saw it. The two of them went to the town for two hours, and they came back so quickly.

And looking at the car, except for the straw and steelyard under the pad, there is nothing else.

The venison they pulled over should have been sold out, which is pretty fast.

It seems that they may have met a big customer today. In the past, these more than 100 kilograms of venison would have been sold until the afternoon at least.

In the past, when Erye Huang hunted a deer, he killed it himself and sold it on the street.

But the locals are reluctant to spend money on lean venison, preferring to buy fat pork.

After all, the price of venison is a little more expensive, and it also costs a lot of money to buy it back.

Unlike pork that is full of fat, everyone wants it, and it can be eaten for a long time after getting it back and refining the lard.

Zhang An knew that Huang Erye let the past probably be for the sake of sharing money.

After talking to the family, Zhang An got up and went out.

He didn't want the money, but if he didn't go, Mr. Huang would definitely give it to him.

The old man's style of doing things has always been one is one, and the other is two.

When they arrived at Mr. Huang's house, Zhang Ping and Mr. Huang were counting a lot of change.

The money was probably received from selling meat this morning.

"Second Master, is the business so good today? Why did you close the stall so early, and you used to have to put it in the afternoon."

"Hey, business is really good today, but it's all thanks to Boss Zhao."

The Boss Zhao that Huang Erye was talking about was the owner who bought land and built a villa in the village next door to Changqing, that is, the one who ordered pigs from Zhang An's family.

Boss Zhao's name is Zhao Tiande, he is about fifty years old, and he is a big boss in the provincial capital.

Zhang An got along with him a few times and found him quite interesting.

He is a straightforward man, not artificial at all.

But there is a drawback. This person is not a good drinker, but he likes drinking very much.

Zhang An knew him because he drank once and swallowed him twice.

I heard from him that his hometown is here, so he came back and built a villa.

In summer, I bring my friends here to escape the heat, and at other times, I come to visit the mountains and rivers when I have time.

This is also the reason why Zhang An thinks he is interesting, and he should enjoy it when he makes money.

"Oh? What's going on, did he take someone to buy it?"

Zhao Tiande is very rich, and the friends he brings are not bad. Anyway, every time he makes a move, he is quite generous.

If he really brought people there, maybe it was divided among several people.

"That's not true. He's the only one this time. But as soon as we go today, he will come over and ask when he sees it."

"When I heard that it was wild venison, I didn't even pay back the price, so I asked us to cut it in half, saying that I was going to take it back and give it to my friends."

This venison gift seems to be quite good.

Chen Ze and Ding Yi had the same idea, and so did Zhao Tiande.

"So the people next to him cut it in half when they saw him alone, and more people bought it, so we didn't have much time to sell it at all."

Huang Erye told Zhang An enthusiastically that this is equivalent to Zhao Tiande making a big ticket for them, and others will buy it together after seeing it.

The price they set for this venison is one yuan more expensive than pork, and it was almost the same price as pork in previous years.

The price of meat today is [-] yuan, so the venison is set at [-] yuan.

What he is most happy about is that despite this, there are very few people who bargained today.

Together with the venison that was distributed last night, a total of 140 catties of venison were all sold out.

"By the way, Zhang An, he also told me that his village will kill pigs tomorrow, so tomorrow he will come to buy pigs."

After counting the money, Second Master Huang remembered what Zhao Tiande asked him to bring.

"Yeah, let's go ahead and sell it. It will save my mother from having to feed those pigs every day."

Tomorrow, on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Changqing Village has just started slaughtering pigs.

But many nearby villages have started killing New Year pigs in the past few days.

"Let's do the math. That deer sold for 600 yuan today, plus the money from the other two deer, the total is 1000 yuan."

The last three people are divided, one person 330 three.

The remaining one dollar was deducted from the purchase of zip ties.

"Second Master, just give me three hundred. You and Brother Ping are busy selling meat, so you should share more."

Huang Erye didn't agree at first, but before he could speak, Zhang An smoked [-] oceans by himself.

"I won't talk too much, and I'm not an outsider, so just treat it as my filial piety to you and always buy wine."

After Zhang An said that, the old man accepted it with a smile.

"Second master and second grandma, Brother Ping." Su Ying came over at this time.

"Xiao Ying is here, come and sit down." Second Grandma Huang said happily when she saw Su Ying coming.

"Grandma, I won't sit down. I'm here to call Zhang An back for dinner."

"Oh, I'm going to make it here too, so I'll eat it here."

Second Grandma Huang was cooking, and she came out to take a look when she saw the old man came back.

Finally, seeing that the money was being distributed, we looked at it together.

"Come later, grandma, everyone at home is waiting for us to go back."

"Yeah, come later, tell grandma what you want to eat and I'll cook it for you."

Finally, the old lady personally escorted the young couple out of the yard.

"Daughter-in-law, ask our mother when the holiday will be over. Let's pick them up and celebrate the New Year together."

On the way home, Zhang An discussed with his wife.

Before Su Ying got married, there were only three of them in their family for Chinese New Year, which was quite deserted.

Now that Su Ying got married, only Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen were left, so it must be even more deserted.

Zhang An thought it wasn't too far away, so he might as well wait until the old couple went on their annual vacation and pick him up to celebrate the New Year together.

In this way, everyone is lively, so that there are not many families on both sides.

"Okay, I'll call tonight and ask."

Su Ying just got married this year, and she also misses the old couple in her heart.

When Zhang An said this, she felt warm and very happy.

"Zhang An, I'm going back in the afternoon. I'll come back when the pig is slaughtered."

During the meal, Ding said while eating.

He has been out for several days. If he doesn't go back and have a look, he may not be able to go home in the future.

Not to mention Li Li, who has become irritable, if he is not in a hurry for a few days, his old mother will have to make fun of Li Li with him.

Anyway, Zhang An's family was going to kill the pigs the day after tomorrow, and today they brought back the deer legs, maybe they could make Li Lihong happy.

And the day after tomorrow, he plans to bring Li Li over, and with Su Ying to accompany him, it's just a way to relax.

"Well, if it snows then, don't come, the road is not safe."

It hasn't snowed yet this year, and Zhang An is worried that it might snow tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Once the snow falls at the end of the year, it will definitely be heavy, and it will be unsafe to drive at that time.

"Hmm, I'll decide based on the weather then. By the way, where are you, Old Chen?"

Ding Yi looked at Chen Ze, wanting to know his plan.

"I won't go back, so I don't have to run around on the road. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with going back."

Chen Ze definitely didn't want to go back, he just learned the legendary thirteen Tai Chi moves today.

He also plans to practice more here, so that if he doesn't understand something, he will be able to ask.

And as soon as he came home, he would be urged to marry by his family, and then asked him to go on a blind date with a so-and-so girl.

Seeing so many people every day is exhausting.

As soon as Ding finished listening, he looked at Chen Ze with a look of envy, and thought that it would be good if he didn't get married. Being able to be his own master is too free.

"By the way, Mom, Boss Zhao is coming to buy pigs tomorrow, and they are going to kill the New Year pig tomorrow."

Zhang An thought about it, and told his parents about it.

"Okay, okay, then I'll feed you a little more today and I won't feed you tomorrow morning."

Pigs are usually slaughtered in the morning in rural areas, and pigs will not be slaughtered in the afternoon unless there are many pigs.

So tomorrow Zhao Tiande will definitely come to buy pigs early in the morning.

Wang Fang feeds the pigs every morning when she wakes up, which counts to three tons per day.

But if the pig is going to be killed tomorrow, she doesn't plan to feed it, and it's also convenient for the person who kills the pig.

If it were a different person, if they wanted to sell pigs tomorrow, they would definitely get up early and feed them hard, so that they could buy more money.

But Wang Fang didn't think about earning this money, Zhao Tiande didn't come just once, if you do this, he won't come anymore.

And their family is not short of those catties of pig money now, so there is no need to do this.

Besides, Zhao Tiande's price for those wild boars was already higher than that of ordinary people, Wang Fang must think about them.

After lunch, everyone rested for a while, and after drinking a cup of tea, Ding Yi went back.

"Let's go. You can't sit still after eating, or you won't digest. I'll take you to exercise."

Zhang An turned the five-toothed nail rake out, ready to go to the seedling field to dig Bodhisattva.

"Where are you going? Do you have any work to do?"

Chen Ze took the rake and asked, he was a little curious as to what work he still had to do in winter.

"The few catties of bodhisattvas I brought you last time were delicious to you. Let's go digging bodhisattvas today."

It's been almost a year since they planted their bodhisattva trees, and now it's time to dig them up.

"Hey, it's that egg-sized Bodhisattva? You actually planted it."

Chen Ze was very impressed with such a giant Bodhisattva, it tasted sweet and refreshing.

"Come on, today I'm going to taste the Bodhisattva I dug."

Then Zhang An led Dahei out, and the family was ready, pocket hoes, etc., and the whole family was dispatched.

When he arrived at the seedling field, Zhang An asked Dahei to play beside it by himself, since it is not needed yet.

Zhang Jianguo had already cut off the remaining Bodhisattva stem first with the sickle.

After autumn, most of the Bodhisattva stalks have withered, leaving only a small part.

Zhang An and the others dug and dug in the small seedling field with hoes.

"Wow, can you dig up so many in just one nest?"

Zhang An dug a hoe, turned up the mud, and there were egg-sized Bodhisattvas underneath.

They are densely packed underground and look really pleasing to the eye.

Chen Ze would like to cut some to eat now, but there is no water to wash it, so it is not convenient to bring only a sickle.

So I had no choice but to wait until I got back to eat, and then followed Zhang An's example, wielding a hoe and digging in.

It's just that it was the same pick, and none of them were damaged when Zhang An dug.

When he arrived, he picked up a hoe, and the hole was full of bodhisattvas, which had been dug out.

"It's not like you use brute force. You have to save your strength, otherwise you will lose energy after a few strokes, and it is easy to dig Bodhisattva."

Zhang An showed him a few more times, and finally found that this man was really not suitable for farm work and could be damaged no matter how hard he dug.

"Forget it, don't dig it up, just pick it up with your pocket."

Swinging the hoe did not tire Zhang An, but teaching him a few times made Zhang An feel tired.

Just like that, Zhang An dug alone, and the next three picked it up.

However, Zhang An moved very quickly, and soon dug up a piece, and there were bodhisattvas on the ground.

"Zhang An's family is going to dig up water chestnuts. Oh, why are they so big?"

Several village neighbors on the road saw Zhang An's family working in the fields and came over to say hello.

You can walk over and be stunned, is this still Bodhisattva?It's a small potato.

Bodhisattva is not a cherished fruit. In seasons, it is rarely sold on the street, and the price is not very expensive. Anyone can afford it.

But now they saw that Bodhisattvas were as big as eggs.

I don't know how much bigger than the biggest one they bought on the street before.

And it seems that the bodhisattvas are about the same size as the other, very uniform.

"Isn't it possible to dig it, let's dig it out and see."

Wang Fang chatted with them, then picked up a large handful of water chestnuts and handed them to them.

"Come, come, everyone, try it."

The few people were not polite, took Bodhisattva, wiped the mud with their aprons, and bit off the skin with their teeth.

"I want this Bodhisattva. It's big, with thin skin, and it tastes sweeter than the ones sold on the street."

"Yes, this Bodhisattva tastes too comfortable to eat. It's worth selling one piece for one pound more."

Not surprisingly, this Bodhisattva was unanimously praised by everyone.

Bodhisattva sold on the street usually costs [-] cents a pound, but it is far from this.

Many people walked back and forth along the way, and those who saw it said that this Bodhisattva was amazing, and Wang Fang also gave everyone some praises.

Zhang An just dug a small area, and found that the three people behind him couldn't pick it up.

So he didn't continue to dig, but picked them up together.

In the end, in a small area, I picked up five or six bags full.

This is a bag of urea, a bag can hold about a hundred, and more than 500 catties have been dug in the place with a big butt.

The yield is too much, and it can’t be dug out. It can’t be dug out at all.

If a whole field is dug, at least five or six thousand catties will be weighed.

"Okay, let's dig a little bit first and wait until next week before we go to the market. Then we can dig a thousand pounds and try it out on the street."

Today is just in time for the market, but it is already afternoon, and it is too late to sell it on the street, so I can only wait until next week.

Although this Bodhisattva is easy to store, it is still not as fresh as freshly dug.

So after digging these hundreds of catties, Zhang An didn't plan to continue digging.

Come and dig some more before the next rush.

Moreover, there are many people killing pigs in the village in the past two days, so someone will definitely come and ask them to eat pig killing rice.

So Zhang An doesn't have time to sell them in the city these days.

When she got home, Wang Fang washed a basin and let everyone eat first.

Holding a knife, Zhang An peeled the skin of Bodhisattvas one by one and put them in the bowl in front of Su Ying.

"It's better to be married, and someone will prepare everything for eating."

Chen Ze was also peeling the fruit, but his speed was not as fast as Zhang An's.

I could only look at the two of them with sour eyes, wishing that someone would peel them for me, and I would only be responsible for eating them.

"Puff, why don't you hurry up and find a sister-in-law and ask her to cut it for you."

All the sour words revealed envy, which made Su Ying laugh.

"No, even if he finds a wife quickly, can he really cut it for him?"

Zhang An said to him with a half-smile.

"Well, forget it, I'm fine by myself."

Chen Ze looked at Zhang An's appearance, if he found one, he would most likely have to be responsible for peeling it like Zhang An.

He felt as if he had peeled and eaten himself, and it was fine.

Suddenly, instead of being envious, he felt pity for Zhang An.

"No, you eat one too."

At this time, Su Ying took a shaved white water chestnut and fed it to Zhang An.

When Chen Ze saw this scene, he suddenly felt as if an invisible person was force-feeding something.

If he told Zhang An, Zhang An would definitely tell him that it was called dog food.
