"Now on the fourteenth day of the lunar month, the sixteenth day of the bull market on the pole bridge should be opened again, and a few of our old guys will go and see it in person. ”

Grandpa Qiao smoked a cigarette and said slowly.

"That's right, we still have to buy cattle with a few old men, how many of you young people know how to buy cattle?"

"I can't say that, this time I have to take a few young people to study when I go back to buy cattle, and this big matter will be handed over to them in the future. Grandpa Lan said with a smile.

The cattle market in Gongqiao is very famous, and in the past, the cultivated cattle and beef cattle produced there were of high quality, and it can almost be said to be the largest cattle market in the whole of Min Province.

I just don't know if the cattle market of the pole bridge is still held in the past few years.

Either way, they're going to have to try their luck.

Qiao's father first wrote a letter of introduction and stamped it in the brigade, and then went to the commune to get it stamped, and he was busy for a while.

Liu Damin attaches great importance to the matter of cultivating cattle, especially the Gaoshan Brigade, which is a rare and promising brigade in the entire Taoxi Commune.

Although people's grain is not high-yielding, and the public grain paid is not the most, but people's sideline business is doing well!

Just one alpine brigade can solve a lot of tasks that are a headache for communes and supply and marketing cooperatives.

The other three production teams saw that the four teams were going to buy cattle with great fanfare, and they decided to go and see them as well.

In this way, there are really a lot of people who go.

Gongqiao Commune is a commune on the road from the county seat to Quanshi, located on the edge of Jin'an County.

There are streams passing through the whole Gongqiao commune, and the land is flat and vast, which is easier to work than the terraced fields.

It's just that what Father Qiao didn't expect was that the Pole Bridge Cattle Market was so deserted, and it was not as prosperous as described by a few old people.

But think about the current situation, it is normal for the cattle market to fall.

Fortunately, Gongqiao Commune does not suppress cattle markets, and it is also very enthusiastic about people who come to buy cattle.

There are not many people who dare to be shoddy these days.

But picking a cow also requires vision, whether the cow's character is docile and diligent, this is very important.

Especially the big buffalo, if you don't have that vision, you really can't pick a good one.

Qiao's father did not follow the old people to see the cows, but stayed on the tractor and chatted with the people in Gongqiao Commune.

The output of domestic tractors is not high, so there are a number of indicators that can be obtained in each place.

Because of the geographical environment of Min Province, there are many mountains and few places, and the machine cannot be heavier, so there are not many indicators assigned, and more realistically, even if there are indicators, most of the brigades cannot afford them.

Gongqiao Commune is located on the edge of Jin'an County, near the city of Quan, and if they have a tractor, it will be much easier to do something.

For the brigade that wants to buy a tractor, Qiao's father is still relatively patient, and carefully tells him what he knows, such as the cost, the monthly fuel money, learning to drive, simple repairs, etc.

Qiao's father finished nagging here, and the cattle over there were almost selected, large and small, and the four production teams together bought ten cows.

Now that the cattle market is deserted, it is still very happy to be able to do this big business.

It's just that the tractor is loud, the road conditions are bad, and the oxen are easily frightened in the body.

The old men did not dare to frighten these oxen, which cost a lot of money, and would rather work hard and walk back with them than wander in the tractor.

In the end, it was the people of the Gongqiao Commune who helped, and sent people to comfort the cattle in the car, and Qiao's father drove the tractor slower, and it could be delivered to the foot of the mountain in two trips.

If you walk up the mountain, you can at least reach the brigade when it gets dark.

But Qiao's father still walked back and forth three times, and the last one was to pick up people, so he couldn't let these old men walk back.

As soon as the ten cows arrived at the brigade, the members of the club were alarmed, and they all gathered around them, judging them, and some naughty children circled around the cows, going back to touch their horns and scratch their tails.

These cows have a good personality and don't get angry, and when they are uncomfortable, they twist their heads or shake their tails to avoid the clutches of the bears.

The four teams bought three cows, one large and one small, and the members of the club watched them gnaw on fast-growing wild vegetables such as finch wheat, and their faces showed kind smiles.

Eat, eat, grow stronger, do more work!

In addition to fast-growing wild vegetables, straw, and the stems of sweet potato vines, which pigs can't eat, after drying in the shade, cows like to eat them.

The cattle are an important property of the production team, so the production team will also give them rice water, sweet potato boys, etc.

As soon as the matter of ploughing cattle was resolved, Qiao's father finally let go of his worries, and there were other things at the end of the year, and the members of the club were used to it, and they didn't need him to supervise.

After the twentieth day of the lunar month, there are more people in the brigade who kill pigs, and at the same time, some people come to ask if they will go to the beach to buy dried seafood this year.

Don't look at them in the mountains, but the members' love for seafood is unimaginable to others.

The brigade naturally will not refuse, the purchasing agent has been done very skillfully, and this time there is no need for Qiao's father to go by himself.

Cai Ming came again, and when he saw someone killing pigs, he was so hungry that he wanted to buy half of the pork.

If Qiao's father hadn't stopped him quickly, Cai Ming would have been remembered as a small book.

Everyone turned a blind eye to the transactions of the members of the brigade, and all the extra things could only be sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives.

And Cai Ming doesn't belong to their brigade, how can he not make people wonder if he wants to take it to the city to sell it?

In fact, Cai Ming came to the Gaoshan Brigade this time, in fact, his relatives and aunts also explained and asked him to buy more things to go back.

"When my family kills the pigs, I'll leave you some more. Qiao's father said that the family raised two pigs, one handed over the task, and the other disposed of by himself.

"Don't look at the calm of our brigade, there are actually a lot of people staring. Father Qiao frowned and said, "In two days, the brigade will go to Quanshi, I will get you some more things, and you will go with the tractor when the time comes." ”

He helped buy some things, and giving them to Cai Ming can be regarded as walking among relatives, those people can only watch, and without evidence, they can't go online.

Cai Ming sighed, "It's really not easy!"

In the city, they braved the cold wind to line up in the middle of the night, but as a result, the meat ticket was there, but the meat was gone, what else could they do?

And the supply of oil tickets is not much, a little bit, a lot of mouthfuls, stir-frying is a drop or two of the distressed tight.

Therefore, everyone is short of oil and water, and their eyes light up when they see meat.

In fact, Qiao's father's obstruction was right, Qiao Qiuyu still quietly paid attention to Qiao Jiayue's family's every move.

She attributed the failure of their actions to the fact that Qiao's father was the captain of the production team and used his power to oppress people.

She didn't have the courage to lose both sides like Qiao Hongshan. But once the days were more stable, deep unwillingness surged in her heart.

Qiao Hongshan was not arrested and was away at large, and he was still detained in this small village, tired and hungry, and his heart was unbalanced.

Now the only way to free yourself is to make meritorious deeds and then use it as a springboard to leave.

However, she doesn't do it herself, so naturally she can only find someone to help.
