Yang Qiu began to collect grain in a hurry, just in time when the peasants were in a hurry to sell grain.

Seeing that the New Year is coming, I will sell the grain, purchase some seeds and fertilizers needed for the spring of the next year, and purchase some New Year's goods.

The first cart of grain was collected from the village chief of Shimiao Village.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Qiu put on a padded jacket and drove on four wheels to the door of Luo Yinshan, the head of Shimiao Village.

This Luo Yinshan has some distant relatives with Yang Qiu's family, and Yang Qiu calls him "second uncle".

These four wheels are good, but the noise of the diesel engine is particularly loud.

As soon as the car stopped, Luo Yinshan greeted him.

"Stinky boy, what the hell are you popping this thing at my door early in the morning!"

Luo Yinshan opened the door, poked his head out, and shouted.

"Second uncle, what's the matter, aren't you energetic?"

Yang Qiu patted the steering wheel and said with a smile.

Luo Yinshan walked out of the door quickly, came to the front of the four wheels, walked around it, nodded and said:

"What a magnificent thing, Xiao Qiuzi, you are a good mix!"

"Haha, let's go, second uncle, I'll take you around!"

Yang Qiu shook his neck and said in the direction of the carriage.

Luo Yinshan laughed, grabbed the front railing of the carriage with his right hand, supported the carriage guard with his left hand, supported the edges and corners of the guard with his right foot, and his body pressed upward, and the whole person jumped into the rear carriage.

"Look, second uncle!"

Yang Qiu got out of the car, held the crank in his hand, aimed at the diesel engine hole, and his arm drove his body and shook it violently......

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After a puff of black smoke, the diesel engine began to work.

Yang Qiu lifted the cushion and threw the crank back into the tin box under the seat in a chic manner.

"Second uncle, you have to stand firm!"

The four-wheeled rear compartment is open-topped, with large tin boxes for storage, and there is no place to sit.

Luo Yinshan stood in the middle of the carriage, holding tightly the iron plate standing high in front of the carriage with both hands......

"Bang ......"

After a puff of black smoke, the four wheels suddenly jumped forward and circled around Shimiao Village.

This way, the chickens, ducks, geese and dogs in the village were startled, and Shimiao Village suddenly screamed, so lively.

After going around, Yang Qiu parked the four wheels in front of Luo Yinshan's house again.

Luo Yinshan jumped out of the carriage, walked towards the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Yang Qiu also followed closely and came to the courtyard of the Luo family, looking at the big bud rice building on the east side of the courtyard.

"Xiao Qiuzi, you came to my house early in the morning, didn't you want to take me around in circles, let's say, what's the matter?"

Luo Yinshan turned around and asked Yang Qiu.

"Well, second uncle, even if you asked, I will tell you the truth, I want to take away your family's grain. ”

Yang Qiu said.

"Oh, you're starting to be a grain seller?"

Luo Yinshan asked.

Yang Qiu smiled and nodded.

"You are my nephew, I can rest assured that I will sell you......"

Luo Yinshan groaned slightly and continued:

"But ah, I have to ask for cash, I am in a hurry to buy bud rice seeds, otherwise I will wait for the next year to sell and rush. ”

"Don't worry, uncle, I have cash on hand, and I won't give you an IOU. ”

Yang Qiu patted his pocket, and his pocket was bulging, showing that he had a lot of money.

"Then you have to tell me, what price do you give me, if it's low, don't sell it, this grain is all from Lingzi Real Estate, and the quality of the grain doesn't have to be ......."

Luo Yinshan said.

Yang Qiu didn't speak, turned around and walked out the door.

"Little Akiko, you ......"

Luo Yinshan's family does not raise cattle and horses, and every time he sells grain, he has to wait for others to sell it and borrow a car to sell grain.

It was because he couldn't catch up with him, and he shot when the price of food was good.

And the car can't be borrowed in vain, no matter how bad it is, it always has to be for people to eat and drink, and it is not cost-effective.

Seeing Yang Qiu walking out of the door, he was a little anxious, and was about to open his mouth to stay, but when he saw Yang Qiu take out a slender iron object from the carriage, turn around and return to the courtyard......

Luo Yinshan said this soft word, so he didn't say it again......

"Uncle, you don't have to say, I will definitely give you the highest price, but I have to test the grain a priori, can't you say no?"

The slender iron object in Yang Qiu's hand is called a "grain spy".

This object is in the shape of a "T", about 1 meter 2 in length, the horizontal part is an iron two-handed grip, and the vertical part is a hollow iron pipe with the thickness of the mouth of the tea bowl.

The lower part of the vertical iron pipe is unusually sharp, and at a distance of about 10 centimeters from the tip, the iron pipe has a hole in length of 20 centimeters.

On both sides of the hole, there are two rows of sharp iron teeth......

I saw Yang Qiu holding the grain spy, the tip of the grain scout was against the gap on the side of the bud rice building, holding the handle with both hands, and turning it forward......

This grain spy disappeared into the depths of the bud rice pile in an instant......

Yang Qiu turned the grain scout a few more times, and then shook the tail of the grain scout, and a small handful of budding rice grains rolled out of the tail of the pipe.

After the bud rice goes upstairs, because the central part cannot receive the sun and wind, it is often the most susceptible to rot and mold.

Before deciding to accept it, you can't take apart all the buds on the first floor, and take the middle part to see.

This object is the "magic weapon" used by the grain dealers in order to take the sample in the middle of the bud rice on the first floor......

Yang Qiu held the bud rice grain, looked at it for a long time, and put another bud rice grain in his mouth, "croak", and chewed it open.

"Phew......"

Yang Qiuyi lowered his head and spit out the broken bud rice grains in his mouth.

"Second uncle, do you want to sell by the pound or by the bag?"

Yang Qiu asked.

"Press the bag, I can't trust the grain seller's scales. ”

Luo Yinshan was not polite when he spoke.

"Okay, this grain is good, but I think it's rain and snow leaking from the roof of your building, and the grain in it tastes a little average......"

Yang Qiu said with a frown.

Luo Yinshan's heart froze, and he couldn't imagine that this Yang Qiu would break these things with just this hand.

Indeed, this building has not been repaired this year, and the straw on the roof of the building can no longer cover the rain and snow......

"Can't you...... Hey, just say it, how much money will be given to us for a sack of bud rice, no more or no less every year, 50 sacks of bud rice ......"

Luo Yinshan pretended to be calm and said.

"25 yuan a bag, you have at least 24 pieces of water for this grain, I am already the most expensive price for you, second uncle......"

Yang Qiu stretched out three fingers and said calmly.

"It's too low, little Qiuzi!"

Luo Yinshan tentatively wanted to ask for more money.

"It's up to you whether you sell it or not, second uncle,"

Yang Qiu turned around and forcefully turned out the bud rice scout.

"Why don't you think about it again?"

Yang Qiu said and was about to leave.

Luo Yinshan didn't say anything, and watched Yang Qiu walk out of the gate and start the four wheels......

"When will I collect it, I will contact the budding machine, and you will load it directly when you come, so you don't have to wait." ”

Yang Qiu heard Luo Yinshan's voice behind him.

It's done!

The first deal in my life has been made!

Yang Qiu tried his best to adjust his intention, turned around and said:

"This afternoon, I'll come to collect it, and now I'll beat the buds!"

("Budding rice" is the process of separating the corn kernels from the corn cob, which requires the cooperation of multiple people with corn threshers.) ）

…………

Yang Qiu drove four wheels, sang songs, and drove in the direction of Baiyin Village.

Walking to the entrance of Shimiao Village, Yang Qiu saw that the towering poplar branches on both sides were full of magpies, and they were also babbling.

The man who had nothing to do was gone, replaced by this shrewd, hard-working, bold and careful Yang Qiu.

With Xiaofang and Hachiro by her side, Yang Qiu felt full of hope and enthusiasm every day.

How happy, Yang Qiu with a happy family......
