Chapter 67: Here Comes the Cat

Yan Lan was taken home by the third aunt, and Bian Rui was happy to be at leisure, and slowly dangled to his parents' small courtyard with big gray with his hands behind his back.

Entering the courtyard, Bian Rui heard his mother talking to the little baby in the village, Bian Rui stretched out his head and saw that it was a little nephew of his own family, not very old, that is, six or seven years old, standing in the courtyard with a small blue child in his hand.

"Ten grandmothers, that's enough," the little baby said in a continuous voice.

Bian Rui smiled and joked with the little guy: "Good boy, come here early in the morning to carry things?"

"Nineteen uncles!" the little baby smiled at Bian Rui, revealing her small mouth that had lost two front teeth.

Bian Rui's mother said at this time: "You still have to thank your little nephew, look at what was sent to you."

Seeing his mother pointing to the small cardboard box on the wall, Bian Rui walked over. Standing next to the cardboard box, Bian Rui found a small hole in the top of the cardboard box, opened the lid of the cardboard box and found that there was a raccoon kitten in the cardboard box, almost a little bigger than an adult's palm, and it looked like a kitten cub who had just been weaned.

"Yo, this kitten is pretty!"

Bian Rui said with a smile.

In fact, the kittens are almost the same, the kittens in the countryside are particularly thin at this time, and the hair is a little rough, it will take more than two months, and the small body will grow up The cat will look good. But when someone else's little baby came to send the cat, Bian Rui couldn't say that the cat was not good-looking, so he naturally had to praise the little baby.

"My grandmother has always remembered that Uncle Nineteen wanted a cat, and it happened to be a big gathering to ask the people in the village for one, and I brought it back last night, and let me send it to you early this morning," the little baby said with a smile.

Bian Rui didn't have to guess, this little baby must have volunteered to come and deliver the kitten, because all children know that there will definitely be delicious food when they send things to others, so life like sending things is very sought-after in the village.

"Then thank you, come to my house in the morning, I'll give you something to eat," Bian Rui laughed.

"What's delicious?" the little baby tilted her head to look at Bian Rui, swallowing saliva as she spoke.

The children in the village all know how good Bian Rui's cooking skills are, and Uncle Nineteen said that something delicious must be delicious.

"I'll know when the time comes, now I can't say" Bian Xian and the little guy had a sloppy look.

The little baby's happy eyes smiled into a line when she heard it: "Okay, okay, then I'll go to you after breakfast."

"Don't be so early, wait until ten o'clock," Bian Rui said.

The little baby listened and nodded.

At this time, Bian Rui's mother had already put things in the basket of the little baby, and it was not a delicacies from the mountains and seas, but some steamed buns wrapped at home, as well as some fried cakes, wrapped in gauze like this, and stuffed in a small half basket.

At this time, Bian Rui remembered how many puppies there were at home, so he asked the little baby: "You go and ask, who wants puppies, how many puppies I have over there, earth dogs, it seems that there are still a little strings."

Bian Rui's mother listened to this and asked her son curiously, "Where did you get the puppy?"

Bian Rui said: "I picked it up on the road, and when I came back with a few friends last night, I heard a movement on the side of the road, so I stopped and looked at it, and found that there was a cardboard box on the side of the road, and there was a dirty quilt in the box, and five puppies were placed in it, to see if anyone in the village wanted it, and how much ...... could be sold."

When the little baby heard Bian Rui's words, she scratched her head: "Nineteen uncles, it is estimated that there are not many puppies at this time, but let me help you ask, maybe the ten uncles want one."

Bian Rui heard that the tenth brother's family wanted a dog, so he said: "That's okay, you ask other people's homes, and I'll call your tenth uncle later."

The little baby nodded and ran out of the door with the basket, while Bian Rui followed his mother into the kitchen.

"Didn't you say there were guests coming?" Bian Rui's mother cooked the meal, and saw that Bian Rui was sitting in the room talking on the phone as if he was fine, so she opened her mouth and asked.

Bian Rui put down the phone and said to his mother: "I only got home in the early hours of yesterday morning, they are all sleeping, let's eat ours, when they wake up, I will make them some food, I won't go home to eat at noon, save trouble, I'll do it over there."

"You just have to know it yourself, the guests are enthusiastic, and don't get your health dishes, ordinary people are not used to eating them, people may think that you are driving people" Bian Rui's grandmother instructed her grandson.

Bian Rui said repeatedly: "I know, do you think I'm willing to be so troublesome, that dish is too laborious to make, and more than a dozen dishes have to be prepared for almost ten hours, so it's better to cook home-cooked dishes for them."

The old lady is a little verbose when she is old, and she is willing to think more about her grandson, and Bian Rui also knows that this is her grandmother's love for herself, so she is not impatient, and listens happily.

Bian Rui saw that the food was ready, so he went out of the kitchen to ask his father to eat, and when the family began to eat breakfast around the table, Bian Rui remembered the matter of silk strings, so he opened his mouth and asked.

Grandma replied: "This matter is up to your second grandmother, she has done it before, silkworms should not be raised too much, almost get a silkworm room, you can make cocoons three times a year, ......."

"That's it?" Bian Rui scratched his head.

Grandma explained to Bian Rui: "Your second grandmother said that if you want to get a good string, you can only feed it with the leaves of the old mulberry trees at the west entrance of the village, so that the silk spit out by the silkworm is the best, and the two mulberry trees that come out are not good, the silk is not fine enough, the toughness is not too enough, and the strings rubbed out are not as good as ......the old mulberry trees."

Bian Rui understood, his feelings were a little too good, he was originally going to have two hundred pairs of strings a year, but now it seems that he can't even reach half of them.

"It's a little less!" Bian Rui said.

Bian Rui has to have four or five pairs for his own use, plus the spare one has to have a small twenty pairs, as well as a few beds of piano in the space, Bian Rui is also ready to change the strings, when he has not used the new strings before, he thinks the old strings are not bad, and now as soon as the new strings come out, Bian Rui suddenly feels that the old strings are too bad, just like he originally ate foreign captive pork, and suddenly ate free-range local pork, and then went back to eat foreign pigs, which is naturally not a taste.

"What do you want to do so much?" asked the mother.

Bian Rui said: "I'll see if I can take it out and sell some, which can be regarded as increasing everyone's income."

After Bian Rui used the silk strings, he felt that this silk string would definitely be wanted, and people who really love the piano can't stand such temptation no matter what, of course, the price of things will not be cheap, what price is set, Bian Rui has not thought about it carefully, and now it is just an idea that has just popped up in his head.

Fortunately, there is still time to think about this, from silkworm raising to silk drawing to strings, how to say that it will take more than a year of effort, that is, the first batch of strings will not come out until at least next year, and it is too early to think about the price.

"You're wrong, but I just don't know how the market for this thing is, it's hard to do any business now" Bian Rui's father sucked the gruel, broke the cake and soaked it into a bowl, and asked Bian Rui while scooping it with chopsticks.

"When the time comes, as long as the things are good, the price is high, and the handmade things should be more expensive," Bian Rui said.

Now a pair of strings is a few hundred yuan smaller, cheaper ones, this is not easy to say, Bian Rui's heart can accept the price of more than two thousand pairs, the first is because the strings are good, the second is because all handmade things, foreigners' handicrafts are expensive, why can't we Chinese craftsmen make things that can't be sold?

"Well, it's best to have an income after all, otherwise it's not a problem to trouble your second grandmother's family," grandma nodded when she heard Bian Rui say this.

Next, on the matter of raising silkworms, Bian Rui also knows a rough idea, as for how to raise silkworms, how to do silkworm houses Bian Rui is dumbfounded.

After the family finished breakfast, Bian Rui took the cardboard box and took the kitten home, and when he arrived at the door, he found that the old man and his wife were already sitting in the yard, and the two old men were like children, each holding a handful of grass and happily feeding the cow.

The two old men were having a good time, but the stupid cow didn't seem to be very happy, chewing grass was a little careless, and the two ears were also shrugging, and the tail flicking action was also lazy, it seemed that it was playing with the two old men, not the two old men feeding the cow.

"Woke up so early?" Bian Rui greeted the old couple with a smile.

"When I first got up, the air in the countryside was so good, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I opened the window and my ears were full of birds, and the chirping made my mood feel better all at once. Where do you get so many birds here?" When Mrs. Wu saw that Bian Rui was back, she immediately put down the grass in her hand, clapped her hands and said happily.

Bian Rui smiled and didn't speak.

It's not that there are many birds in the village, but there are a lot of birds in the mountains, and now the environmental protection is also good, and the birds are not caught one or two, so there are fewer birds, plus many of the original natural villages have gathered into small towns, and the birds have no biggest natural enemies, and there are naturally more and more.

"Are you two hungry, I'll cook for you," Bian Rui said.

Old Man Wu turned his head to look at Bian Rui and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"

Bian Rui said: "A kitten, rural cats and dogs are inseparable, and if I have a dog here, there is a lack of a good cat that can catch mice."

Rural rats are quite okay, no matter how much you catch this thing, you can't catch it, Bian Rui doesn't know how the ancestor dealt with rats before, but now, there seems to be traces of rats in the house, and Bian Rui has to raise cats in the yard. Don't be such a good house at that time, Bian Rui actually became neighbors with mice, it would be a bit disgusting.

The old lady came over and took a look: "This cat is too small, and it seems to be not very energetic."

Bian Rui smiled: "It's this kind of cat that catches mice!"

Pet cats raised in the city can play with mice, if you want to catch mice, you have to be this kind of civet cat in the countryside, this kind of cat is not very likable, and the temper is not too good, mainly wild heavy.

But catching mice is definitely first-class, even the big orange cat can't compare to the raccoon cat in catching mice, Bian Rui has seen the little orange bitten by the big mouse, but has never seen the big mouse bite the raccoon cat, the half-sized raccoon cat can catch a mouse that is bigger than himself, and it won't let go if it bites, it is really a little expert at catching mice in the countryside.
