My village can't be like this

Chapter 601 Rabbit Re-employment

The mountain breeze blew gently in the afternoon. Although the sun was high in the sky, it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even with the sun shining on my body, I didn't feel it was very hot.

Most people would find this kind of dull life very boring after spending some time there.

But for Zhang An, he didn't think so. Instead, he enjoyed this quiet life very much.

Perhaps it was because he was busy and running around all his life in his previous life that he cherishes this kind of life so much.

But this kind of peace and quiet did not last long and was broken by someone.

Because once there is a child in the family, there will definitely be no peace and quiet.

Look, Su Ying is now braving the dark to bring her son back from outside and is criticizing him mercilessly.

"I've told you so many times not to crawl on the floor anymore, but you just won't listen. You made the clothes I just changed dirty again. How many clothes do I have to wash every day for you to ruin?"

Su Ying stared at her son expressionlessly, but the little guy, fearing his mother's authority, just lowered his head, pinched the corner of his clothes and twirled his fingers.

Ever since the little guy learned to run and jump by himself, there has never been a single day when his clothes were clean. Basically, he would change into clean clothes in the morning, but they would become dirty in a short while.

In fact, in Zhang An's opinion, this is not a big deal. Everyone has been a child before, and crawling on the ground is common when they are young.

Sometimes, there are many people with black faces and two big snots hanging from their noses.

But Su Ying couldn't stand seeing this. It was okay when her son was at school, but on weekends or holidays when she was at home, she would often give him a scolding.

Zhang An wanted to plead for his son, but every time he opened his mouth, his wife would look at him sideways, and he could only think less trouble.

So the whole family has become accustomed to this. Every time Su Ying educates the little one, no matter Zhang Jianguo, Wang Fang, or Zhang An, they all pretend not to see it. After all, they are just children, so it will never go a wrong to educate them more.

Although little Siqi is still young, he seems to have grasped the essence of it.

Every time my mother scolds me, I act like a good kid, but afterward, she tells me you can say whatever you want, but I just won’t change.

"What's wrong with Qiqi? Did you make mom angry again?"

At this time, Zhang Bin's voice was heard outside the door. The little guy, who had just lowered his head, suddenly raised it and looked outside with his eyes wide open.

"Binzi is back. When did you get home? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that your brother could pick you up?"

Zhang Bin's arrival saved the little guy from dire straits, because Su Ying no longer taught him a lesson, but started talking to Zhang Bin.

"It's been a while since I came back, sister-in-law. I took the morning train back, and just as I got off, I encountered a slow train, which saved my brother from having to make another trip."

Zhang Bin first explained to his sister-in-law Su Ying, and then picked up his nephew Xiao Siqi.

"Wow, it has grown a bit more. We are almost grown up."

"He has grown taller, but he is becoming more and more disobedient and naughty. He is not as well behaved as he was when he was little."

Su Ying had not yet forgotten her son's bad behavior, and she glanced at the little guy and said.

"Qiqi is still young. Look at Zhang Xing and Zhang Tie. They are so naughty even though they are so old."

As Zhang Bin spoke, he took out a lot of snacks from his pocket and put them in the little guy's arms. It seemed that he brought them back from the provincial capital, because the village store had never sold these.

"Uncle~"

It is said that one who receives something from someone else will be grateful and ungrateful. The little guy received so many things that he immediately called Zhang Bin "uncle" sweetly.

"Sit down. You've been in school for a while now. How do you feel? This is a college life that many people envy."

Zhang An found a stool and handed it to Zhang Bin, then started chatting with him with a smile.

"How should I put it? I've met more people in school, and I have to learn to handle a lot of things on my own. It feels like I've grown up all of a sudden. It's not like the way I used to feel in school."

Zhang Bin tilted his head and thought, then spoke to Zhang An very seriously, telling him all about his experiences at school.

"That's right. Although you left your parents in high school, you were still under closed management. The teachers were very strict with you. In college, basically no teacher will be so strict with you. You have to consider many things on your own. This can be regarded as training your independent consciousness and helping you adapt to the environment in advance."

Su Ying smiled and said to Zhang Bin that she could completely understand Zhang Bin's feelings because she had been through it.

Zhang An didn't say anything about this because he had never been to college.

However, after chatting for a while, Zhang An found it very obvious that although only a month had passed, his cousin had changed a lot.

Especially in terms of speech and conversation, he is no longer as talkative as before and has become much more outgoing.

It seems that university life can really change a person.

Especially in universities of this era, those who can attend are basically carefully selected.

It’s not like in later generations, where you can get into a school by just taking an exam, regardless of whether your score is good or bad.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I'll take Qiqi out to play."

After staying for a while, Zhang Bin prepared to take Xiao Siqi out to play.

"Go ahead, but don't let him spend money recklessly."

Su Ying pretended to warn Zhang Bin. She was afraid that Zhang Bin, the uncle, would spoil his son too much and buy him whatever he wanted when he went out.

After Zhang Bin took the little bully away, Zhang An thought he had some peace and quiet.

"Xiao An, come out for a moment."

But after a while, Wang Fang outside was shouting at him.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Zhang An walked to the front yard and saw Wang Fang weighing a chicken with a scale and then handing it to an old lady in the east yard.

After sending the old lady away, there was indeed a middle-aged man left in the yard.

Zhang An originally thought that he was with the old lady from Dongli Yard, but it turned out not to be the case.

"Xiao An, he wants to buy our rabbits, and he wants to buy a lot. Come and talk to him."

Although Wang Fang likes to collect money on weekdays, she is only responsible for small businesses, such as those of one or two cats.

Whenever she met someone who wanted to buy a lot, she would call Zhang An to talk to them.

"Hello, my last name is Wang. I run a shop specializing in rabbits in Hongyan Town. I heard from a friend that your family has a lot of rabbits, so I came to see if I can buy some more."

As soon as Wang Fang finished speaking, the middle-aged man took the initiative to extend his hand and greet Zhang An.

"It's Boss Wang. Hello, it's too noisy here. Let's go to the back and talk." Although Zhang An didn't know this boss named Wang, everyone who came to his house was a guest, and this guy seemed to want to give money to his family, so Zhang An was naturally very patient.

The front yard is right on the roadside, with pedestrians coming and going and the hawking of various stalls. It is very noisy and not suitable for chatting. It is better to go to the back yard.

Arriving at the backyard, Su Ying made a pot of tea and brought it out, then went back into the house.

"There is actually a shop specializing in rabbits in this town. I guess Boss Wang's shop has only been open for a short time."

Zhang An didn't know Hongyan Town by heart, but he was very familiar with it.

Especially some food stores and snack bars, he knows them better, after all, he has always been good at eating.

But now there is a shop specializing in rabbits in Hongyan Town, and he has no impression of it at all. The only explanation is that the shop has just opened.

"Haha, that's right. It's just been open for less than a month. It's on South Street."

Boss Wang spoke to Zhang An very cheerfully.

"I see. That's why I didn't have any impression of it. I'll have to try it some other day."

Zhang An nodded. He had just been to the town a few days ago, but he could tell where the store was located on South Street.

Because South Street is the place with the largest flow of people in Hongyan Town, Zhang An usually doesn't go there often because he thinks there are too many people.

"I will definitely not let you down, Boss Zhang. My wife is from Zigong and is very good at making rabbits. I guarantee that the taste is authentic. We have been doing this outside for many years before. Now that we see so many people coming to our town, we might as well come back and give it a try."

After hearing what Zhang An said, Boss Wang responded very confidently.

"Boss Wang, we do have a lot of rabbits at home, but our rabbits are different from those raised by other people. They are more expensive."

Zhang An nodded, then stopped chatting and started talking business with Boss Wang.

"I heard about your prices from my friends before I came here, and I've also tried your rabbits. The meat is really good, much better than other places. It's definitely worth the price. I have no problem with that."

As soon as Zhang An finished speaking, Boss Wang nodded in agreement. It was obvious that he had already found out everything before coming.

"To be honest, we knew that you raised rabbits at home, Boss Zhang, at the beginning. However, we had just opened our business at that time and didn't know how the business would be, so we bought them from other hunters. Unexpectedly, the business was quite good. With this foundation, I dared to come to you, Boss Zhang, to discuss the supply."

"Haha, I understand. Then, Boss Wang, how many rabbits do you need?"

After hearing what Boss Wang said, Zhang An realized that their business must have grown and the hunters’ prey supply was no longer sufficient, so they came to him.

"We need about fifty a week, but there are too many people in our town this National Day week, so we probably need about twenty a day."

Boss Wang thought for a while before telling Zhang An a rough quantity.

"That's no problem at all. I can definitely provide them here. Then I'll take Boss Wang to see the rabbits."

The other party has already said that there is no problem with the price, so the only thing left is to go and see the goods.

Afterwards, Zhang An brought Boss Wang to the rabbit pen. There were no longer as many rabbits in the pen as at the peak before, but the number was still quite large.

In the past, the rabbits in Zhang An's family reproduced too fast, but they only relied on people coming to buy them on a regular basis, and the number they sold was far less than the number of rabbits born.

In order to prevent the rabbit circle from overpopulating, Zhang An could only suppress the reproduction rate of the rabbit circle, so the number of rabbits remained generally stable during this period.

Originally, Zhang An hadn't thought of spending much time on these rabbits, but now someone actually came to buy them, and in quite a few quantities, so of course Zhang An was willing.

With the number that Boss Wang needs, Zhang An feels that he will no longer need to suppress the reproduction of the rabbit population.

"Here, Boss Wang, these are our rabbits. But be careful when you reach out your hands. They are a bit wild and very strong. If they kick you, it will hurt."

After entering the rabbit pen, Zhang An picked up two and handed them to Boss Wang beside him.

"It's true, Boss Zhang, the rabbits you raise are really good. They are better than those raised in the farms I've seen before. If nothing else, you can tell by the smoothness of the rabbit fur."

Although he had inquired about it in advance, Boss Wang still opened his eyes wide when he saw it with his own eyes.

"Boss Zhang, these rabbits you have are all very good. Let me catch one today and try it out. If it's ok, I'll come over to catch one tonight or tomorrow morning."

"Of course, just give me a call when the time comes."

Zhang An did not refuse. He took out his cell phone and gave the other party his phone number.

He knew that Boss Wang did this because he wanted to see if the rabbits he had collected were the same as the ones he had eaten before.

As a businessman, it's always better to be careful.

Zhang An was not worried about this, because all the rabbits in his house were the same anyway.

Moreover, he was not forced to make the deal or not. If he could sell it, that would be the best, but if he couldn't, that was fine.

Finally, Boss Wang bought a rabbit and took it home, and Zhang An saw him out.

Not long after he returned, Zhang An received a call from him, saying that he would come over to catch rabbits soon.

This was also within Zhang An's expectations. After all, he was very confident about the rabbits at home.

An hour later, Boss Wang drove over in a tricycle with a large iron cage on the carriage, which was used to hold rabbits.

"Boss Zhang, they won't fight, will they?"

When catching the rabbit, although Zhang An had given warning in advance, Boss Wang was still kicked a few times, causing him to grimace in pain. Only then did he realize that what Zhang An said was true.

Therefore, he was also worried that the rabbits would fight with each other after being caught in the cage.

There's nothing wrong with fighting, but I'm afraid that if a few are killed, it won't be worth it.

Those who cook rabbits all want freshly killed living rabbits, as the taste of dead rabbits is always worse.

"Don't worry, Boss Zhang. They will only kick people and won't fight each other."

There are a few rabbits in the rabbit pen that would attack their own kind, but they are all male rabbits and have now been locked up alone by Zhang An.

It would be a shame if we didn't keep such good energy to make breeding rabbits.

Boss Zhang felt relieved after hearing this. When he saw that the animals had already been caught in the cages, he was not too angry and was no longer worried.

After a while, the first truckload of fifty rabbits was loaded.

Wang Fang also received the largest sum of money in her family's history from selling rabbits.
