- Liu Junhao, the future father-in-law and mother-in-law who knitted things, naturally spent the entire afternoon finishing the two pillowcases.
He originally wanted to mail the address directly, but he didn¡¯t know that Zhang Qian also happened to go to the street to pay for the phone bill, so the two of them rode bicycles to the market together.
The mountain breeze blows slowly, bringing bursts of coolness. This flat river stone road continues to extend among the green shade, giving people a very refreshing feeling. Looking further into the distance, you can see the green and yellow waves of wheat. The wheat harvest season is coming.
When we were approaching the intersection, we met Mr. Liu Wu and several people from the village walking in front. The two jumped up quickly and walked with them.
After asking around, I found out that Mr. Liu Wu was going to buy a calf to raise. This old man has got it right this time and will never buy that kind of skinny cow again.
When we got to the street, they went their separate ways.
After the business was done, Zhang Qian said that she had never seen a seller before and wanted to check out the cattle shop.
Liu Junhao naturally followed her thoughts and threw the purchased items and bicycles at an acquaintance's house, and the two of them walked toward the Cow Walk.
If you want to say which place on the street is the busiest, it¡¯s definitely the best place. Every time there is a market, there are people coming and going, and the cattle are crowded.
From time to time on the road, you can see cattle walking in twos and threes in the direction of the cattle. Some anxious cattle stopped at the intersection early to watch~.
Although these cattle economies depend on the center of the earth. But I'm not in a hurry to buy it. Real trading usually doesn't start until noon. At that time, the people selling cattle were in a hurry to go home. Naturally, I won¡¯t take it too seriously when it comes to price. And that¡¯s it to this point. The scalper had been eating for most of the day and was already hungry. All of them looked listless. So it¡¯s easy to find fault.
The economy will take a turn for the worse. Will take action again and again. At the beginning of a transaction, both parties are often drooling and blushing. In the end, the deal was concluded amid pushing and bluffing.
Of course, there are still many "hidden rules" in Niuxingdi. For example, one of them is not to buy a donkey at the beginning. There are some taboos about those cattle economies. I thought I just bought a donkey. You won¡¯t be able to buy good cattle on this day. So if anyone is ignorant and buys a donkey early. They will definitely get a blank look from them.
"Little brother, are you coming to see the cows too?" Liu Junhao was standing in the shade of the tree. Suddenly I was patted on the back.
"It's Lao Guo." He turned around and looked. It turned out to be Lao Guo, who sells beef on the street. He quickly took out his cigarette and said hello. "I just came here to hang out when I had nothing to do. Have you seen Mr. Liu Wu?"
"It's under that big poplar tree. Several people from your village are together." Lao Guo said hello. Just turned around and left. People are serious about buying scalpers. It's not like the two of them just hanging out.
Liu Wuye took a fancy to this heifer as soon as he arrived at the cattle store, and was currently bargaining with the cow seller. The economics of farmers and cattle are different. There are not so many twists and turns. As long as you like something and the price is right, buy it.
Liu Junhao was completely new to this business, so he didn¡¯t interrupt and just watched the excitement with Zhang Qian.
The prices for selling cattle were exorbitant. Liu Wuye struggled for a long time but still couldn't pay back the money, so he finally had to give up.
"Look, there is a little pony over there! How about we buy it and raise it?" Liu Junhao wanted to follow him, but Zhang Qian pulled him and pointed to the tall and thin bay-red horse.
"Why buy it? We don't have a car to pull it. Besides, look at this horse. It's so skinny that it probably won't be able to live even if it's taken back." Liu Junhao analyzed it one by one. Although he didn't know much about horses, he could tell that this horse was indeed not very good.
Hearing what she said, Zhang Qian had no choice but to give up, but still pulled Liu Junhao to follow her.
The horse seller knew from the looks of the two of them that they were not buyers, so he didn¡¯t come up to ask, he just smiled at them.
This little pony was no stranger to Zhang Qian, and kept sticking out his tongue to lick her hand.
"What, have you taken a fancy to this foal?" Lao Guo happened to be wandering nearby, and when he saw them, he came over and said.
"How can we not, we are just looking blindly, how much do you think this horse is worth?" Anyway, it was idle, so Liu Junhao asked casually.
"Brother, I advise you not to buy it. This foal has a problem with its appetite. It has been here for two weeks and no one has asked." Lao Guo has bought eels from Liu Junhao several times in the past few days, so the two of them are familiar with each other. . Seeing that he seemed to be interested, he whispered in his ear to persuade.
"How about nine hundred yuan? This foal was born half a month prematurely, so it looks weak. I'm going to sell it at a low price. One price is one." The man selling the horse looked at the two of them and muttered with their heads together. , thinking they were discussing the price, so they hurriedly spoke.
Hearing what he said, Liu Junhao was a little concerned. Nine hundred yuan is indeed a bargain, usually half a pileThe foals cost thousands of dollars.
Although he doesn¡¯t know how to raise horses, if he buys the foal and feeds it with the sweet potato seedlings irrigated by the spring water in the yard, he might be able to train it.
"Can it be less?"
As soon as Liu Junhao opened his mouth, Lao Guo knew that he really wanted to buy it. Although he felt it was not worth it, he started to help him pay back the price.
??One buyer and seller is willing to buy, and the other is willing to sell. This business is done smoothly. The price was agreed upon in less than half an hour, and Liu Junhao bought it.
After that, he immediately went to the nearby small shop and bought two boxes of white sand and threw them to Lao Shiniu. The rules of the business were helped by others, and the buyer wanted to thank him.
Liu Wuye and others wandered around for a long time but did not see a suitable calf, so they were about to call Liu Junhao to go home with them, but they saw someone walking towards them with a pony.
? Several people were arguing again and again along the way. Some said that Liu Junhao got a small bargain, and if the foal was properly maintained, it would definitely be worth one thousand two hundred and three thousand; some said that it was a loss, as it looked like an old pony, and it would not grow taller if it only ate food.
Liu Junhao doesn¡¯t have so many ideas. The money has already been given to others, so it doesn¡¯t matter if he takes advantage or suffers a loss.
The foal was also obedient and let Zhang lead him along the way.
When we got home, the group of people came over to see what was going on. The naughty boy wanted to secretly ride a horse, but was kicked hard by the foal. As a result, the naughty boy folded his arms and howled in the courtyard.
After Liu Junhao rested for a while, he went to the backyard and cut most of the basket of sweet potato seedlings to feed it. This guy is also a picky eater and eats very happily.
Zhang Qian was more concerned about the foal's hygiene. She poured some basins of water over it and then picked up a broom to clean it.
Unexpectedly, after sweeping away the horse manure and making it smooth, the colt's appearance changed greatly, and it even showed some energy.
Liu Junhao originally wanted to name it Xiaohong based on its appearance, but Zhang Qian refused to agree, saying it was too old-fashioned. It's better to call it Red Rabbit, which is the same name as the famous horse through the ages.
Khan, this skinny horse is still called Red Rabbit. This is such a waste of money. Although Liu Junhao objected, Zhang Qian insisted and had no choice but to nod and call Chitu.
Since then, he has had another task: letting horses go in his spare time. In fact, this is no different from playing. You can take Red Rabbit to the river beach and don't worry about it. You can lead Xiaopi around by yourself.
Of course, most of the time, Liu Junhao just cut some sweet potato seedlings from the backyard to feed him in order to save himself time.
After more than a week, Chitu has changed a lot. The coat color became brighter and brighter, and the original loose stools stopped.
People who came to his yard said after seeing it that the horse was worth buying. Now it can be sold at a cattle dealer for at least one thousand yuan.
"Uncle Xiao Hao, why don't you eat wheat ears and trade them for a reed?" Not long after school, the boy ran into the yard with a handful of burnt wheat ears.
Ever since this naughty boy learned that there was honey on the reed pile, he has been breaking one off almost every day recently. If Liu Junhao hadn't been so careful, he would have finished all the honey in a few days.
"Where did you light the fire again? What if it causes a fire?" Liu Junhao was shocked when he saw Maisui. At this time last year, those naughty kids caused a fire.
"Don't worry, we burned it on the river beach. After it was burned, we doused it with water." The boy smiled and handed the wheat ears over.
The wheat is not yet mature during this season, but it is the most fragrant. The wheat kernels are plump and hydrated, and they taste very delicious after being charred over fire.
Smelling the fragrant wheat ears, Liu Junhao was very moved, and he was too embarrassed to scold the stupid kid again.
He also did this when he was a child, stealing some wheat ears to burn in the fields. At that time, as soon as school was over, three or five people would run towards the wheat fields in groups. The watchers kept watch, and the people who stole the wheat ears stole the wheat ears. The preparations were completed in five or six minutes.
Then they ran deep into the reed marsh, quickly picked up some dry reed grass, and skillfully took out matches to light a fire. Everyone took a handful of wheat ears and burned them eagerly. When the wheat awns were burnt and the whole wheat ears turned into small black sticks, they were burned.
Holding the ears of wheat in both hands, rub them, then blow with your mouth and switch hands with your left and right hands. After blowing back and forth several times, the burnt wheat husks will be blown away, leaving only the yellow wheat kernels.
At this moment, no one cares about whether their hands are clean or not. They eagerly throw the wheat grains into their mouths one by one, chewing the fragrant roasted wheat grains
After eating up all the wheat ears, there will be traces of destruction below. Find a puddle of water to wash your face and hands, and then rinse your mouth. When you get home, adults won't be able to tell that they just ate wheat ears.
In fact, as long as it doesn¡¯t cause a fire, adults canIf he shows up, he can at most give him a scolding.
The joy of stealing wheat as a child is still vivid in my mind.
"Teacher Zhang, did you tell me when we will have the wheat holiday?" The boy ran over and asked after folding a reed tube.
"It's coming soon, I guess we'll have a holiday during the Dragon Boat Festival." This naughty kid has been planning to have a few days of fun after the holiday.
"Then can you ask Teacher Zhang to leave it for a few more days? We grow a lot of wheat at home, and we can't cut it all if we leave it for a short time."
"Go and tell the teacher yourself your teacher just happened to be here." Liu Junhao just finished speaking, and when he looked up, he happened to find Zhang Qian.
"Oh, Teacher Zhang, I have to go home and do my homework." The furry child immediately reacted like a mouse meeting a cat.
"Liu Changlin, did you burn these wheat ears?" Zhang Qian's face suddenly became serious again when she saw the wheat ears on the table.
¡°This time, we picked what we had from our own family, not from Grandpa Er Mazi¡¯s family.¡± Maozi quickly defended.
