Chapter 17 Wild Boar Boar
In the blink of an eye, it’s the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year.
The school started to have a holiday today. Mrs. Jia Zhang took Xiao Danghuaihua and three others to clean up the house. Qin Huairu went to the steel rolling mill, saying that wages would be paid today and he should be back soon.
Jia Yi said this and went out with the bag. Seeing this, Jia Zhang didn't say anything, knowing in her heart that her grandson was going to the pigeon market again.
There are a lot of people in Pigeon Market today, and business is easy.
I entered the small courtyard and closed the door. I didn't take a closer look last time. After checking today, I found that the walls of the three houses are still in good condition. They are all made of blue bricks and are strong. Even the doors and windows are broken.
When I walked into the hall directly opposite, I saw that it was empty and the floor was covered with rubble and rubble. This was the restaurant.
Hey, there is also a backyard here. This is a second-entry yard with three large houses in the backyard.
One room is the kitchen, the stove is still good, but the pots and pans are gone.
An empty room, it should be a warehouse.
There is also a master bedroom with a good kang, which is nice.
After walking around the courtyard wall, I found two more toilets.
Open the backyard door and you will see that this is no longer within the limits of Pigeon City.
It's really complete. It's such a nice yard. I wonder where the owners of this yard have gone.
Yesterday I harvested melon seeds, which weighed more than 2,700 kilograms after frying. If they are sold out, the market will be almost saturated. No more sunflowers can be planted.
The small animals in Taoyuan have all grown up. The chickens and ducks weigh four to five pounds, and the big male geese weighs more than six pounds. Fortunately, the ducks and geese both have two males, otherwise they would not be able to reproduce.
The goats have grown to more than thirty pounds, the black pigs have grown to fifty pounds, and the female rabbits are already pregnant.
There are many large crucian carps weighing more than one kilogram in the creek. The largest one is a grass carp weighing more than two kilograms.
There are also carp, bream, herring, and fathead fish in the creek. There are also many other small shrimps and small miscellaneous fish.
Opening the front door, Jia Yi saw a half-full schoolbag hanging on his chest, containing about five kilograms of melon seeds.
Just like last time, Jia Yi opened the zipper of his schoolbag and went to the rich man to ask.
I had little luck today and didn't find a big customer like Grandma He.
The most I bought was only five jins. I sold a hundred jins in one morning. I made a little over 100 yuan, which is not bad.
We returned to the base at noon. Well, we will renovate the yard a little in the future. While eating cabbage and pork dumplings, this is what Jia Yi specially asked Qin Huairu to make last night.
Qin Huairu also knew that her son would not be back at noon the next day, and the family now had a lot of extra income, so she didn't say anything. But the little Sophora japonica was very happy to eat.
After repairing some things, Jia Yi went out again and saw three young people, one man and two women, sitting under the tree at the door. They looked young. There was a cart next to them.
Jia Yi felt weird. This small courtyard was relatively remote and there were relatively few people. People selling things shouldn't come here.
"Brother, are you here to sell things?" Jia Yi said as he walked up to the three of them.
"Yes, little brother, my brother and sister-in-law and I came here to sell mountain products, but we didn't sell much all morning."
This is the youngest girl among the three, she looks to be only about eighteen years old.
Jia Yi's face turned a little dark when he heard this.
"Miss, you can call me Xiao Yi. Come, eat some melon seeds." After saying this, Jia Yi scooped up a bowl of melon seeds and stuffed it into the hands of the little sister.
Of course, this bowl was made by Jia Yi from Taoyuan. It took him several days of free time to make one that meets the requirements. The most important thing is that it is not ugly...not ugly...not ugly.
It wasn't until the day when Jia Yi saw the large porcelain jar at home that he remembered that you don't have to make the tools yourself, you can buy them.
I am rich, why am I so stupid? Jia Yi almost fainted in the toilet from crying that day...
I won’t talk anymore. If I talk too much, I’ll be in tears.
After all, it was the result of several days of work and could not be wasted, so Jia Yi continued to use it.
"No...no, this is not good." The man quickly stood up and refused.
"This is what I sell, and this is what I treat the young lady to eat..."
The young lady smiled happily, her two little dimples couldn't be hidden, it was so sweet.
"Xiao Yi, my name is Liu Fang, my eldest brother Liu Wu, and my sister-in-law Zhang Hua." As he spoke, he gave some melon seeds to his brother and sister-in-law.
"Brother, stop talking. I'll give Xiao Yi some mountain goods later..."
Liu Fang saw that her brother still wanted to refuse, so she persuaded him. After saying this, Liu Wu didn't say anything more.
"Brother Liu, what other products do you have? Why haven't they been sold?"
Everyone chatted while eating melon seeds.
Liu Wu sighed, got up and opened the straw curtain, revealing the cart.
"Hey, I went into the mountains yesterday morning to hunt a wild boar, and I got 150 kilograms of meat. I thought I would sell it here to support my family, but no one bought it."
"Brother Liu, how much do you sell for a pound?"
"Fifty cents..." Liu Fang also interjected.
"It's not expensive..."
"No one buys it..."
"Of course it can't be sold. Think about the strong taste of wild boar. Without enough seasoning and a skilled chef, it won't taste good at all. As a result, those rich people will not be willing to buy it.
Ordinary people lack oil and water in their stomachs, and wild boars don’t have much oil and water, so they don’t taste good, so they might as well buy pork.”
"So that's it..."
The three of them were stunned.
"Xiao Yi, then we won't be able to sell it..." Liu Fang asked anxiously.
"Hehe... don't worry, I bought it. My neighbor is the chef. I'll buy it back and let him handle it."
"Really, do you have that much money? Why don't you go back and discuss it with your family?" Liu Wu couldn't believe it. He was afraid that Jia Yi would buy it privately and be beaten when he went home.
"No, I'm doing business here. I make my own money and spend it myself. Well, it's a total of one hundred and fifty kilograms, fifty cents a kilogram, that's seventy-five yuan."
As he spoke, Jia Yi counted out seventy-five yuan from the compartment of his schoolbag and handed it to Liu Wu. Of course, this was all a cover-up, as the money was all taken out of the Taoyuan warehouse.
The three of them looked at each other, a little dumbfounded. Are all the people in the city so rich? A child can easily spend so much money.
"Okay, don't think about it. Brother Liu, please help me deliver this meat to the yard."
Liu Wu hesitated for a moment, thinking that his family was waiting for money to live, so he took the money and pulled the cart and followed Jia Yi.
Jia Yi opened the door and asked Liu Wu to put the pork on his shoulder by the door. Liu Fang was a little confused when he saw the dilapidated yard, but he didn't say anything and put the straw mat on the ground with a wink.
"My home is not here, and the yard hasn't been repaired yet. Leave it here for now, and I'll find someone to move it back later."
"Oh, I see…"
At this time, Zhang Hua came in with a small basket of things and put it down.
"This is the fungus we picked from the mountain. Thank you so much Xiao Yi this time, otherwise our trip would have been in vain."
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law is right..."
"It's nothing, I just happened to want to buy it..."
After waving goodbye and watching the happy-looking three people pulling the cart away, Jia Yi turned around and entered the courtyard, immediately putting the wild boar meat and more than a kilogram of dried fungus into the Taoyuan warehouse.
"Xiao Yi, you are really here..."
Chapter completed!
