Chapter 153 Rabbit Food
"Uncle, how did you sell this litter of rabbits?" Qin He squatted down, looked at the little rabbits in the cage, and asked.

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand, pinched the big female rabbit's neck, took it out, looked at it carefully, touched it with his hands, and after confirming that there was no trauma, he took out a piece of dry grass from the cage. After teasing it, seeing that it was quite energetic, I put the rabbit back at ease.

They bought rabbits to raise, and they expected this female rabbit to give them cubs!If you are sick, no.

As for the little rabbits, they looked as big as two of his fists, and they were cute, but when you picked them up, they looked like fluffy rabbit fur, otherwise they would definitely look like a half-sized mouse.

"If you take all of them, ten yuan will be fine."

Seeing that they are young people, and there are two girls inside, the price must be raised higher.

This young guy has a thin skin, maybe in order to show off in front of his sweetheart, he really agreed!
"Give me a real price, I really want it."

It used to be a stall set up by people in the black market, and there was no room for bargaining at all. They were all fixed prices, whether you like it or not, but these stalls are different.

Qin He had discovered before that Qin Xi didn't know how to bargain with others, so it was easy to spend money to buy things. At this time, he still had to make a move. Ten yuan was impossible, and his bottom line was eight yuan.

If possible, it would be the best to get seven yuan. The main reason is that the female rabbit is valuable. For the little rabbits, it can be regarded as a favor at most, and two yuan is almost enough, because these little rabbits are really too small. , I don’t know if I can survive this winter.

"This is indispensable. Of my two litters, there are only these eight left. Moreover, looking at the belly of this female rabbit, it is obvious that she is pregnant. It won't be long before she will give birth to another litter of young rabbits. This is a sure-fire deal!"

When Qin He heard it, he found a loophole: "It seems that you also know that this rabbit is not easy to feed in this kind of weather!"

"How about it! Seven yuan, I'll give you a real price, I don't know how to look at rabbits, I don't know if I'm pregnant or not, even if I'm pregnant, in this weather, there is only one dead end."

When the old man heard this, he became a little anxious: "I can't, I am the best gray rabbit, and I am very strong. If it wasn't for the lack of money at home, how could I be willing to sell it!"

"There are nine rabbits in the cage. If you want, you can take it for nine yuan. For a long time, we will be friends."

If it wasn't for the cold weather, these two litters of little rabbits were extremely hard to feed, and half of them were already dead, he would still be reluctant to sell them!

As for that female rabbit, she has a bad personality. In the previous litter, she killed and ate three little rabbits. The whole family felt that this kind of female rabbit was not very good, so they couldn't keep it anymore.

"No, the price is too expensive and not suitable."

The two argued again, and Qin He finally lowered the price to [-] yuan, which was the other party's reserve price. No matter how little it was, he would not be willing to sell it.

In the end, Qin He asked the other party to set up a cage, and he didn't continue to bargain any more. He was about to talk dry.

If it wasn't for his lack of cash, how could he be so haggling with people on the street as a big man? In the final analysis, he was still poor.

When going out this time, Qin Xi brought 30 yuan. Before eating noodles, steamed buns, meat, quilts and cotton, plus this litter of rabbits, this money has already been spent.

It's not that Qin Xi doesn't care about money. It takes her more than two months of hard work to afford these things, but whether it's quilts or cotton, they are all necessities of life, and they can still be used for many, many years. Thinking about it, it doesn't hurt so much.

As for the nine rabbits, Qin Xi placed high hopes on them. The money for picking herbs was too little and too slow. After all, Chenhui Village was just an ordinary village, there were no deep mountains and old forests around, and there were no precious medicinal materials. If you want to flex your muscles after opening up, you can't do without money.

Therefore, Qin Xi put her mind on breeding. Rabbits are her best choice, because rabbits can grow up just by eating grass, and female rabbits are very fertile. They can give birth to at least three or four litters a year, and more Six to eight litters.

As long as you can successfully raise the little rabbits and sell them, you can earn at least a few tens of dollars a year. This money should be used to maintain the daily expenses of the family. There should be no problem.

Tang Ying was also surprised by Qin Xi's loose hands. She knew that Qin Xi was rich before, but now it seems that she has little knowledge. When Qin Xi goes out, she spends a month's salary of others!

In the past, she must have been willing, but now she must be reluctant. In the countryside, it is really difficult to earn money.

She had already spent more than two yuan on this trip, and she and He Yuan had pooled together five or sixty cents, and she planned to buy some food for the rest of the money, just like Qin Xi.

Although after the autumn harvest, she and He Yuan received a total of more than 300 catties of grain, but this amount of grain was not enough!
Especially for her, she earns four or five work points every day, and she only gets more than 100 catties of grain in the autumn harvest, which is enough for anyone to eat.

Now that she came to this good place, she planned to buy more food to go back. She didn't know anything else, but she could eat more and be full. After all, there would be nothing wrong with it.

It just so happened that Qin Xi also had the same idea. At this time, her productivity was still too low, and any natural or man-made disasters might cause local turmoil.

If there is a shortage of grain in any place, famine is inevitable. I didn't see that people still use tickets to buy things in the streets and alleys now!This is an expedient measure when the supply cannot keep up with the demand. When the tickets are cancelled, everyone’s stomachs will be full, so there is no need to worry too much about starving.

When she first came here, she was hungry, and she didn't want to experience the feeling of being so hungry that her stomach was on fire.

Qin Xi bought flour for fine grains, and dried sweet potatoes for coarse grains.

Flour is twenty-five cents a catty. People like them without food stamps can only buy high-priced flour on the black market.

Dried sweet potatoes cost seven cents a catty. I bought this because the dried sweet potatoes are stored well. It is easy to store them for a year, and you can eat them even after two years.

There is rice in the family, so they can eat rice naturally. They did not exchange the fine grains at home for coarse grains like other villagers.

Qin Xi bought 30 catties of dried sweet potatoes and [-] catties of flour. She took [-] yuan with her when she went out. After buying these grains, she only had [-] cents left, and she still kept the fare for the return trip.

Tang Ying bought less, but she also bought 25 catties of dried sweet potatoes and three catties of flour.

The black market came at nine o'clock, and when they walked out of this alley, it was already 10:30.
