My village can't be like this

Chapter 444 Selling Liquor

Li Weiguo is still waiting here, so Zhang An will naturally not stay here forever.

The two Li brothers have always been the masters of the Three Treasures Palace. He just said that he was going to find him at home, so there must be something going on.

So I helped Chen Ze clean up the fish pond, and Zhang An also said goodbye to the old man.

"Grandpa Chen, once this is done, I will go back first. If the fish food is finished, let Chen Ze go to my house to get it."

The fish food of Zhang An's family is not the feed he bought, but the fish food he made by grinding the corn he had grown in the space into flour and combining it with the pile of rice bran left over from the previous rice.

Now their family not only feeds the carp in the fish pond, but also feeds some in the fish pond every day.

"Okay, okay, I'll finish feeding this bag and then let Aze go get it."

Knowing that Zhang An had something to do when he went back, the old man didn't try to persuade him to stay.

He was minding his own business, holding a small basin, and feeding some fish food brought by Zhang An from time to time, making the little fish in the pond happy.

The corn and rice bran that this fish eats are indeed produced in space. Every time the old man only throws a little bit, he can attract the fish to chase each other.

When Zhang An returned home with Li Weiguo, Feng Shen and Xu Cheng, Wang Fang saw a guest coming and immediately made a pot of tea and brought it to the yard.

"Hiss, I thought there weren't many mutated carps like this, but I didn't expect you to raise so many. But these black and white fish are so perfect for your pond, and there are white and black."

Although Zhang An said just now that he raised them here, Li Weiguo didn't think there were many because there were still too few mutations.

But when he came to Zhang An's yard, he was shocked because the large pond was filled with black and white carps.

And when they entered the yard, they happened to see the black and white carp in the pond separated into two groups without disturbing each other.

At first glance, it really looks like a yin-yang fish.

So Li Weiguo immediately decided not only to get some for his old man to raise, but also to take some back and keep them in his office and home.

At this time, Feng Shen and Xu Cheng also had the same idea, and they would take the live fish cart back with the help of the friend Zhang An mentioned.

After all, they are all in business, and they believe in Feng Shui to a certain extent, especially in terms of building a house and making money.

As the saying goes, if you gather water from all directions, wealth will come from all directions. When the time comes to get this fish back, you must find someone who knows how to arrange it.

"There are still many fish eggs that have not hatched, and some that have hatched have not been able to survive, otherwise it would be more than this."

You must know that Xiaohong laid eggs for several days this time, at least hundreds of thousands.

However, not all of them hatched, and some of those that hatched also died midway. This can only be considered a very small part.

When several people heard this, they immediately realized that this fish was really cultivated by Zhang An himself.

"By the way, I see brother Chen brought back some colorful ones? Why aren't there any here?"

After watching for a while, Xu Chengcai asked curiously, because he didn't see a colorful one in the pool.

"Actually, there are more colorful ones, but I kept them separately. They are all in the backyard. Come on, let's go sit there."

With that said, Zhang An took the teapot and led a few people through the main room to the backyard.

Now Zhang An's family is basically in the backyard, whether at ordinary times or entertaining guests.

On the one hand, there is a grape trellis in the backyard, which is a very good place to enjoy the shade. After all, it is summer, and the sun in the sky is not gentle at all.

On the other hand, there are more people in the village now, and the door to the front yard is full of people coming and going. Sometimes it is very noisy, but the yard at the back is relatively quiet.

So now Zhang An's backyard has basically become a place for entertaining guests.

After a period of time, the grapes on the shelf are ripe, and when guests come to visit, it is very convenient to sit under the grape shelf and pick two bunches of grapes to entertain others.

"It's quite a lot. No wonder this pool is so big."

Li Weiguo thought the Tai Chi fish pond in the front yard was very big just now, but he didn't expect that the pond in the backyard was even bigger.

But when he saw the colorful fish inside, he understood why Zhang An wanted to build such a big pond.

After all, there are so many fish to raise, and it’s impossible to raise them unless they are bigger.

"By the way, Zhang An, where did you get the rocks you put on the bottom of the water?"

Seeing the distinct colors of the stones at the bottom of the pool, Li Weiguo also wanted to make one like Zhang An.

"These are pebbles. There are a lot of them on the river beach. Just go and pick them up. Come here and have a taste of my new tea this year."

Zhang An invited these people to sit down around the square table and poured tea one by one.

"How much new tea did you pick this year? I will have to sell it for a few more kilograms this time. The little bit I brought back last time was long gone."

The last time Li Weiguo came to spend the Lantern Festival with his two elders, he not only bought wine but also tea from Zhang An.

However, Zhang An's family didn't have much tea left at that time, so the two brothers only bought half a catty each.

This time I heard Zhang An say that he had picked new tea. No matter what, he had to buy more.

After all, in their social activities, apart from tobacco and alcohol, everything else includes tea.

"Yiyiyi, I'll give you two kilograms this time."

Zhang An picked a lot of space tea this year, and the dry tea leaves weighed about a hundred kilograms. It was only two kilograms. It was a small matter.

At this time, Wang Fang also washed a fruit plate of strawberries from the kitchen and brought it to the low table in the backyard to entertain a few people.

"Aunt Wang, you are too polite. No need to go to so much trouble. We will just have tea."

It's not that Li Weiguo was being polite when he said this, he meant it sincerely.

Because Zhang An entertained them with his favorite tea, he was still not satisfied.

Li Weiguo and Zhang An's mother are actually only seven or eight years apart in age, but they still have to be called aunt honestly.

Because his mother, Mrs. Luo, and Wang Fang have always been the elder sister and the younger sister, he, as a son, cannot be overly polite.

"It's nothing. We grow the strawberries at home. You can just eat and play."

These strawberries are considered the last crop. When they were picked some time ago, they were not yet ripe.

It has become ripe in the past few days, but there is not much left. Zhang An has no intention of selling it and keeps it for his own consumption.

"I have long heard from my mother that your strawberries and cherries are delicious, but I went to other provinces during that time, so I felt a pity that I couldn't try them. I didn't expect to catch them today."

The longer he spends time with Zhang An, the less he understands Zhang An.

Anyway, every time he comes here, no matter what he takes out, it is always good for him.

The more frequent visits, the more he became numb. Every time he went back to Changqing to see his parents, he would eat a few more bowls of rice.

"If you like it, you can take some back later. I happened to pick some today."

Zhang An had a feeling that when Li Weiguo came over today, he would have to spend some money to stay here. It was just a few kilograms of strawberries, so they could be treated as gifts.

"Then I won't be polite."

Li Weiguo chuckled, and except for the first time he came here, he acted as polite as he had done before.

"By the way, Zhang An, do you still have the wine we bought last time? We came here just to buy some more from you."

After the pleasantries, Li Weiguo finally explained his intention. When Feng Shen and Xu Cheng next to him heard this, they also looked at Zhang An seriously.

Zhang An understood now that not only Li Weiguo wanted to buy it this time, but also these two people, so no wonder they came with him.

"We still have wine, but I told you last time that I can give you up to ten kilograms."

There isn't much blood rice puree left, but the stock of the blended ones is quite sufficient.

"Ten pounds is too little. It's just a jar. Why don't you give me some more? You see it's not easy for me to come here."

The last time I bought 30 kilograms, I thought it was too little. How could I be satisfied with only ten kilograms this time?

"I don't have much left. I have to keep some for other friends. I'll give it all to you and the others won't be able to account for it. You don't want to run out of wine when you come over one day."

Zhang An is such a lazy person, he doesn't want to clear out the inventory all at once, and then have to immerse himself in the space all day long to make wine.

"Okay, ten catties is ten catties, but the three of us weigh ten catties each."

When Li Weiguo thought about it, it was indeed true. If Zhang An could sell more to him, he would definitely be able to sell more to others.

He doesn't come back very often, so he might end up losing money.

In the end, each of the three of them bought a jar of wine and two pounds of tea. They agreed to come back next time with Zhang An and prepared to leave.

"Weiguo, don't leave in a hurry. You can go back after eating."

The price of tea was the same as last time, two thousand yuan per catty, but it was not Zhang An who asked for the price, but the Li Weiguo brothers who offered it.

Wang Fang received more than 20,000 yuan in one fell swoop. She was very happy and immediately invited a few people to stay for dinner.

"No, Aunt Wang. It's rare for me to come back this time, so I went back to eat with my parents and wait until next time."

Li Weiguo smiled and rejected Wang Fang's request to stay. After all, he came back just to spend two days with his parents.

After dinner that night, Li Weiguo went to see Zhang Jianjun about digging a fish pond.

The rice in the fields has just been planted in the past few days, and Zhang Jianjun will not let it go if he can get some work.

As the saying goes, brothers fight tigers, and father and son go into battle. The next day, Zhang Jianjun called Zhang An's third uncle and his wife, and the four of them went over to help their family dig a pond.

It happened to be Saturday, and Zhang Tie and Zhang Xing were called over by adults to help with the ashes and do odd jobs.

Li Weiguo learned from them that the pebbles in Zhang Anpu Pond were picked up by the furry children in the village.

He immediately asked the two of them for help and asked them to find the furry children in the village to help him pick up pebbles. Each of them was given three yuan.

If an acquaintance in the village asks them for help, they won't accept the money themselves without asking their parents to ask for it. At most, they will just ask for some snacks.

When Zhang Tie knew that this man was a big boss who spent money to live in the village, he was a rich man, and the money would not be in vain if he did not make it, so he immediately agreed.

Zhang Jianye saw that his son could actually make money, so he did not force the two brothers to continue helping there.

Not long after, he and Zhang Xing found all their friends.

And Li Weiguo doesn't have any requirements for cobblestones, just the same as Zhang An.

When the kids heard this, they thought, that’s it, they are very familiar with it.

I went home, carried a rake on my back, and ran to the river beach to start sweeping.

Although the river beach had been swept away once by Zhang An, there were still a lot of pebbles left because the river beach was so big after all.

The pond Li Weiguo wants to dig is not big, only half the size of Zhang An's Tai Chi fish pond.

Even though he had to use cobblestones to line the perimeter, he didn't need much.

In just half a day, Zhang Tie and his kids got it done, and happily received a huge sum of three yuan from Li Weiguo.

This money is nothing to Li Weiguo, but he has never dealt with so many children. So I distributed money to the children with my own hands.

He suddenly discovered that this feeling was completely different from the feeling of paying wages to his employees, and he felt very happy.

At this time, he only had one feeling, he felt Zhang An's happiness.

The furry kids, with their huge sums of money in their pockets, were planning on how to spend money at Zhang Xinmin's house.

In this era, the purchasing power of three dollars is still very strong, especially for a group of children.

Each of them usually doesn't have much pocket money, and now they all want to buy their favorite snacks.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jianjun and his friends mentioned this matter casually when they met these parents on their way home for dinner.

It doesn't matter if you mention it casually, but those children were killed miserably.

Because the kids had not spent the newly acquired money, they just went home for lunch, and the money was ruthlessly confiscated by the adults at home.

The reason is still the same reason that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and is kept for them.

Some young children are still full of hope for this money, thinking that they can get it back when they grow up.

But there are still some sober children, such as Zhang Tie and several classmates of the same age.

At this age, they know what they should know, and they know in their hearts that this money probably has nothing to do with them.

At the same time, I could only sigh around. I was happy for a long time, but my work was still in vain.

If I had known this, I shouldn't have asked for money and asked the boss to buy them some snacks like Zhang An, so that they could at least satisfy their appetite.

It's a pity that they didn't understand the situation just now. They can only say that they were still too young.

The next morning, both Zhang An and Su Ying got up very early.

Even Chen Ze, a guy who loves to sleep in, got up early and came to Zhang An's house.

Because last night, Ding Yi called to say that the child had been born.

So taking advantage of today's weekend, a few people planned to make an appointment to go over there to visit.

In addition to Chen Ze, Zhou Lan also came over. Li Hongbin was not there. He just went to the construction site a few days ago because he recently took on another big project.

They were just acquaintances in the past, but after getting along with each other in the past few years, they have already become good friends.

"That's all I've prepared. Let's see if there's anything left behind."

There are a bunch of things on the ground, including black-bone chicken, goose and duck eggs, and the crucian carp that Zhang An caught last time to make fish soup for Su Ying.

Because there were some leftover, Zhang An kept them in the space.

There were also pigeons brought back by Mr. Huang last time. They had been bred in groups in the space, and Zhang An casually caught a few males.

Among them, the crucian carp was the one Ding Yi asked for by name on the phone. In fact, even if he didn't say it, Zhang An would take the initiative to send it.

Because this thing can be called a treasure for pregnant women, it is said that the effect of breastfeeding is particularly strong.

"That's about right. It won't be too late to send whatever you need over there."

Zhou Lan took a look and said, anyway, they are not far apart in the county town.
