Chapter 525 Let's Borrow Instead of Renting
Liu Ya gave Chun Niu a push, and said, "You, you are teasing us again. Don't be kidding, hurry up and help me think about it, which families have said that, can they rent goats to work for us?" ? How much should the price be? "

Chunniu knew that Liu Ya was in a hurry to talk about business, so she stopped making trouble.After thinking for a while, he said, "This goat is not a human being, so it must not be priced according to the human price. You just say that the goat is brought out in the morning and used, and you will be given five yuan a day for one goat, and you will be fed in the evening. Send it back, I think these people can do it. Anyway, they also want the children in the family to drive the sheep to the mountains to graze during the day. Although you use goats for work, but you still manage the fodder and pay for it, they will definitely agree gone."

Liu Ya was stunned for a long time with her mouth open, and then said: "It's a good deal to only pay five cents a day. Go rent it, if it doesn't work, you can rent it for a long time, or if it doesn't work, ask them if they sell it, and we will buy the sheep." .Anyway, we will have to carry things when Xiaoshuipu opens in the future, so we can’t rely on your Siping to pick things up every day.”

When Chunniu heard this, she punched Liu Ya, and spat at her: "The man in your family is the goat. If you get a cheap price, you'll act like a good boy. Okay, let's go back now and find those houses to rent goats. No matter how many people there are in Siping Stay for a while, he will go back with Master Gu."

Liu Ya nodded, and went back with Xiao Shu'er and Chun Niu.

Along the way, I was still studying where to go to rent goats.And according to Liu Ya's intention, if you can't rent it, you can buy it.Anyway, the Liu family has built a new house now, and the old house has been knocked down and the yard has grown.The adobe bricks of the old house can be used to build sheepfolds and horse sheds, and it will be very convenient to raise some livestock at that time.If it weren't for the fact that pigs are so edible and smelly, Liu Ya would still want to raise pigs.

After thinking about it, Liu Ya said again: "How about, don't talk about renting, just borrow. Anyway, we won't borrow for nothing, and we still have to show it when we return it to others. As for those who are difficult to talk about People, it’s definitely not good to talk about borrowing first, then let’s talk about renting, so that there is room for the other party to agree easily.”

The reason why Liu Ya said "borrow" first and then "rent" was also because not everyone in the village cared about money.Some people are very down-to-earth and have a good heart.As long as someone says they have difficulties, they will help if they can.If you met such a family, and said to "rent" the goat, it would appear that the Liu family was stingy. They didn't think about the kindness of the family, and they had to talk about money first, which hurt their feelings and hearts.

Aunt Niu's family must be such good people. The Liu family built a house, and their family helped a lot.The goats in their family are also easy to handle, and Xiao Shuer said that he will definitely be able to handle them.Aunt Niu's family has a female goat and two kid goats. The kid goats are bigger than Xiao Hei in their family, and they must be able to work.

Liu Ya also said: "Xiao Shu'er, why don't you ask by the way, if the two little goats of Aunt Niu's house are for sale, we can buy them back if they are for sale, and we will have to use them to carry things in the future. Xiao Hei eats them The mother goat’s milk grows up, and we will treat their little goats well, and they won’t be hungry or tired, and they won’t eat mutton.”

Xiao Shu'er agreed, and went directly to Aunt Niu's house after going down the mountain without going home.Before leaving, he said: "When I went to Aunt Niu's house, I passed by Gazi's house. Their house has a male goat and a female goat. I will stop by and talk to their house to see if their sheep can be borrowed." Come."

Liu Ya nodded and let Xiao Shuer go.If Aunt Niu's family has one big, two small and three goats plus Gazi's two goats can be borrowed, plus their family's Xiao Hei, there are six goats.These six goats carried earth bricks up the mountain, at least as much as four or five porters did in a day.Even if other people's sheep cannot be borrowed or rented, they can make do with it for a while, so that the construction site will not be unable to work due to lack of materials.

Chun Niu said, "Ya'er, you can go with me to the remaining three houses. You can talk better than me, and the price is easy to negotiate."

Of course Liu Ya couldn't let Chun Niu do all these things by herself, so she said, "Let's go, you just lead the way."

Chunniu took Liu Ya to Wang Chengming's house first.This family looks very poor, and the house is quite old, and there are only two and a half rooms.The yard was not small, but one side of the front yard was built with sheep pens and pig pens, and a lot of sundries were piled up on the other side, and some places were not cleaned frequently, and even weeds grew.

Chun Niu whispered to Liu Ya: "Wang Chengming is a widower. His wife has been away for four or five years, because the youngest son was born with difficulty. He lives with three children alone. The three children are all boys, and they will not Cleaning up the house made the house look like this. Wang Chengming is quite capable. He often goes to the town to find odd jobs to make money. The 11-year-old eldest son in the family is responsible for farming and cleaning the house; Feeding pigs and sheep, dealing with life. Wang Chengming is also very careful at ordinary times, and he is not willing to spend money, saying that he wants to save money for all three sons to marry wives."

It's really hard for such a family.It is estimated that if Liu Dacheng's leg was not broken and he could not work and earn money, the Liu family would have had a better life than this one.

With that said, he arrived at the door.The courtyard door was open, and a four- or five-year-old boy was squatting in the yard playing with mud, his body getting dirty.

Chun Niu yelled at the door: "The third boy of the Wang family, is your father at home? Where are the eldest and second brothers?"

The third boy didn't even raise his head, he said, "My father and elder brother have gone to the field. The second brother is washing clothes in the backyard."

Since there is no adult in this family, Liu Ya and Chun Niu looked at each other and decided to go to someone else's house first, and then come back here to borrow a goat after they agree to come.

Chun Niu said: "Third boy, then tell your father, wait at home when you come back later, we will come back later, and find him if you have anything to do."

The third boy still didn't raise his head, he was still digging at the mud on the ground with all his strength, and he said "hmm".

Just as Chunniu and Liu Ya were about to turn around and leave, they heard another boy's voice behind them saying: "Aunt Li, do you have business with my father?" The person who spoke should be Wang Chengming's second son.

Chunniu and Liu Ya turned around and came back, Chunniu said: "Well, I want to borrow your goat for a few days. So I want to discuss it with your father."

"Then use it. You don't need to discuss this with my father." The second boy put down the wooden basin in his hand and said, "I usually raise this sheep, and I can make the decision. If you want to use it, fourth aunt, take it with you. In the past This sheep is also raised for the purpose of milking it for my younger brother, and now he doesn’t drink milk, so you can use the sheep as you like.”

Neither Liu Ya nor Chun Niu expected that the second boy of the Wang family would be so talkative.
