Siheyuan starts with killing pigs

Chapter 208 Commune Observations
After Wang Hu got home, he cleaned the stone trough where the cattle had been fed, poured some water into it, and then put the dying carp in. When the carp encountered the water, it immediately became energetic and began to swim slowly.

"Little tail, you are playing alone at home, close the door and make sure the fish don't run away. I will go to the river to see if I can catch some more fish! I think I will come back later, but you must not go out to look for me. Otherwise, the fish will run away, and you won’t be able to drink fish soup at night!”

After Wang Hu packed up, he told Little Tail.

"Don't worry, second brother! I understand, this fish is what we are going to eat at night, I must take good care of it. I won't leave even a step until my parents come back!" Little Tails said with a firm face immediately after hearing this.

"Okay! I'll go first then!" Wang Hu looked at the appearance of Little Tails, he couldn't help but smile, turned around and went out.

After Wang Hu came to the river with familiarity, he went into the water again and turned into a fishing net to catch fish. After Wang Hu picked up six big fish and caught six, he stopped fishing.

The main reason is that he doesn't have any tools. If there are few fish, he can use grass to cover them up. If he catches too many fish, it will be difficult to carry them, and the target will be too conspicuous.

Wang Hu repeated his old trick and cut a large bundle of grass and hid the fish in the grass. Then Wang Hu carried the grass on his back and walked into a forest.

After a while, a handsome boy of seventeen or eighteen years old walked out of the woods carrying a bundle of grass.

It turned out that Wang Hu was only 15 meters tall at the age of 1.5 and a half due to malnutrition. At this time, Wang Hu used a rubber body to increase his height to 1.7 meters. His appearance can be compared to the appearance of Yanzu in his peak period. He was gentle and gentle. .

As for the clothes on his body, fortunately, he picked up Wang Youfu's tattered clothes. The clothes were already big. Now that his figure has increased, although they are still tattered, they are not too small.

This is what Wang Hu looked like after stretching his body. After all preparations were completed, Wang Hu walked quickly towards the direction of the commune.

Fengjiazhuang is neither far nor close to the commune. It is nearly twenty miles away. If Wang Hu had gone to the commune before, it would have taken more than an hour. But now that Wang Hu has a rubber body, he has increased his legs. elasticity.

Wang Hu walks with a bounce, which not only saves energy but also increases speed. The only drawback is that his walking posture is a bit awkward, so if he meets someone on the road, Wang Hu will cancel the elasticity of his legs to cover it.

In this way, Wang Hu came to Huashan Commune in only four to five ten minutes. The reason why Wang Hu came here was because there was a small market here.

Now each household is allowed to keep a few poultry. The number varies in different regions. Some places allow five poultry. In Huashan Commune, each household is allowed to keep three poultry. If there are more, the tails will be cut off.

But as the saying goes, if the people don't sue the officials, they won't be held accountable. As long as people in this remote countryside don't refuse to hug them, it's actually okay to raise a few more poultry. If the family raises more poultry, supply and marketing cooperatives or large factories will go to the countryside to purchase them.

However, the prices offered by supply and marketing cooperatives and factories are generally not too high, so there is this self-organized small market, and transactions between farmers are not considered speculative.

Speculation refers to people without legitimate professions or others acting as second-tier dealers. After purchasing from farmers at low prices, they resell them at high prices. Because a fixed number of poultry are allowed to be raised, transactions between farmers are also allowed.

Therefore, this small market has existed for a long time. Not only poultry is sold here, but also some production teams sell excess mules, horses, cattle and sheep here. Of course, their transactions are not private transactions, and the buyers are also other people. Livestock production team or commune.

As long as there is a market, there will be desperate people. In Wang Hu's memory, he and Lu Jinhua went there several times and saw rabbits, pheasants, medicinal materials, fish, etc. being sold.Grandma Wang Hu told him that as long as he didn't get caught, nothing would happen. If he was caught and the quantity was too small, the items would be confiscated and asked to be collected by the production team leader. If the quantity was too large, it would be dangerous and he might be sentenced.

Strictly speaking, it was against the rules for Wang Hu to bring the fish over for trading. After all, the fish was collective property. However, Wang Hu was a brave man and had a rubber body. Unless he used a cannon, ordinary firearms could not hurt him.

In addition, he did not show his true colors, and he had the ability to liquefy and change color. Even if he was really caught, he would still have the confidence to run out, so he brought the fish over and planned to sell some money to buy eggs.

"Come and take a look! It's a five-year-old hen! It's great to take home and make soup!"

"The big goose is full of energy, coming from the south and going north..."

"Take a look! A two-year-old donkey is already ready for work. If you like it, hurry up. This is the only one, don't miss it..."

……

As soon as Wang Hu arrived at the market, he found that it was very busy. Of course, most of them were trading poultry and livestock. After all, these two items were allowed to be traded.

Of course, secretly, Wang Hu also found some people chatting quietly, or people covering baskets with frames and holding something in their hands.

"Brother! How do you sell this fish?" Wang Hu walked up to a middle-aged man holding a piece of fish scale in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Brother, you asked the right person. Look at how thin you are. You should drink more fish soup to replenish your body. I won't ask you for the price. The big fish has been bought up long ago, and the only thing left is the size of a palm. It’s a small fish, if you really want it, it’ll cost you two cents a pound!”

After the man heard Wang Hu's question, he immediately said to Wang Hu enthusiastically, and then he quietly leaked a crack in the basket next to him. Wang Hu saw that there were indeed only some small fish left in the basket.

"Brother, this fish is too small. What's the price of the big fish you sell? If the price is right, I will come to you to buy a big fish next time you come back!" Wang Hu's eyes moved after hearing this and he pretended to be dissatisfied. He asked with a general frown.

"Big fish costs three cents a pound. Brother, this fish is already quite big. The soup is just right, rich in nutrients, and the soup is delicious..." After the stall owner listened to Wang Hu's words, he still introduced the fish on the stall without giving up. .

After Wang Hu got the news he wanted, he pretended to be too young and shook his head and walked away. After Wang Hu left the other party's sight, Wang Hu quietly dug his fingers into the grass on his back and buckled. He picked up two scales, held the fish scales in his hand, and wandered around the market.

He was not wandering aimlessly, he was looking at what was being sold in the market, and he was also observing some of the passers-by in the market, especially those carrying empty baskets or bags, and those with clean clothes and few puddings.

Most of these people are people with good family conditions. They come to buy chickens and ducks to satisfy their family's cravings or to replenish their health. Although the chickens, ducks and eggs bought here are more expensive, they do not require tickets, so people who come to buy them There are still many.
