Chapter XXXVII: Income
Qin Xiaoyu chuckled: "You and Xiaocui are the thickest-skinned little squirrels I've ever seen!"
Xiao Cui, who was eating melon seeds, jumped on Qin Xiaoyu's shoulder very dissatisfied: "It's like you've seen a lot of little squirrels!"
Qin Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled and didn't speak, in the previous life, her mother Yuan Ping was afraid that she would be lonely, so she bought her two little squirrels to accompany her. Qin Xiaoyu looked at www.biquge.info the little squirrels jumping up and down in the small cage every day, and felt that they were very pitiful, just like her, trapped in the ward, with no freedom or joy, she secretly opened the cage and let go of the two little squirrels.
She would miss them and envy them for a long time afterward.
"Let's rest here first, and when it's dark, let's cross the border again, and then find a place to sleep, okay!" Da Song stood on the antlers like a commander and discussed with Qin Xiaoyu.
Qin Xiaoyu nodded, in the past two days, every time I slept in a place chosen by Dasong, except that it was a little cold, but it was very steady.
It was still Da Song and Xiao Cui who went to reconnoiter the terrain first, and then let Qin Xiaoyu crawl across the border.
As soon as Qin Xiaoyu climbed across the border, his heart immediately became steady, he got up and picked up the two little squirrels and danced and jumped: "Hehe, we succeeded! When we sell the antlers, we will have money! Great! Haha!"
Da Song and Xiao Cui were dizzy by Qin Xiaoyu's head, and almost foamed at the mouth, Xiao Cui screamed: "Let go, you're going to strangle the two of us!"
Qin Xiaoyu hurriedly let go, put down the two little squirrels, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm so happy, I forgot that your two small bodies are too weak!"
Xiao Cui rolled her eyes: "You are weak, why do you like money so much?"
Qin Xiaoyu took off the antlers on his body, sat down against the pine tree, and said with a smile: "Money is a good thing, you can buy a lot of things, and you can do what you want to do, no one doesn't like money, how can you squirrels understand?"
Da Song sat on Qin Xiaoyu's lap, and after the spring, its big tail was also fluffy and fluffy, and at this time it shook its big tail, and said disdainfully: "You humans are too tired, you see me and Xiaocui, when you are full every day, you can play in the whole forest, how happy!"
"That's the life of you squirrels, we humans live a richer life, you can go farther away, see the world is like, you are in this forest every day, how boring. Qin Xiaoyu retorted unconvinced.
Xiao Cui was jumping and sentry among the big trees, and suddenly ran back and said, "Hurry up, it seems that a pair of patrolmen are coming on horseback." ”
Qin Xiaoyu hurriedly picked up the antlers and ran towards the depths of the jungle with the two little squirrels.
The place where the antlers were traded was behind the county medicinal material company, Qin Xiaoyu was afraid that two big antlers would appear on his back at dawn, causing onlookers, so after dark, he secretly ran to the back of the medicinal material company with two antlers on his back to find a place to wait, fortunately, there were no street lights at this time, and when it was dark, there was no figure on the entire street.
Qin Xiaoyu found a corner behind the medicinal herb company, put down the antlers, and then whispered to the little squirrel in the schoolbag: "How much do you think my two antlers are sold for?"
Da Song yawned, and poked his little head out of the mouth of the schoolbag with sleepy eyes and said, "We don't understand this, you can watch and sell it yourself,"
The medicinal herb market is lively as soon as dawn, and families selling fritillary antlers come one after another.
Qin Xiaoyu saw a middle-aged uncle with antlers on his back, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Uncle, how much can you sell for this antler?"
The uncle looked at the two big antlers behind Qin Xiaoyu, envy flashed in his eyes, and said, "If it's worthless, I'll sell it for seven or eight yuan." ”
Qin Xiaoyu looked at the middle-aged uncle suspiciously, how could it be possible to sell it for twenty or thirty yuan after a few days of hard work?
"Really, you see that there are so many antlers in the market now, they can't sell them for any price, and they have to queue up for a while, hey, it's not easy to make money. The middle-aged uncle shook his head and sighed.
Qin Xiaoyu let out an "oh" in disappointment, and then retreated to his antlers, let's talk about it when people go to work in a while.
The middle-aged uncle enthusiastically followed and asked, "Why did you come to sell antlers alone, and your lord?"
Qin Xiaoyu blinked: "My dad and my brother sent me here before dawn, and the family was busy with farm work, so they rushed back again." ”
"Why are your adults so relieved? What if someone cheats you? Well, Uncle will give you thirty yuan, so you don't have to queue up. The middle-aged uncle said honestly.
Qin Xiaoyu squatted and moved back, she was not confused about the money, is this obviously a pit? ”
The middle-aged uncle looked at the big antlers enviously again, and he was not very willing to leave.
The medicinal herb company never asks where the fritillary and antlers are delivered, as long as they are delivered, they will accept them, which also allows many people to take the risk of digging up medicinal herbs and picking up antlers.
The medicinal material company is quite open and transparent in the price of purchasing deer antlers, domestic antlers cost two yuan a catty, and wild antlers cost three yuan a catty, because wild ones are scarce, so the price is more expensive.
Qin Xiaoyu's two big antlers were sixty-eight catties, and they were sold for a total of two hundred and four yuan.
The buyer said to Qin Xiaoyu appreciatively: "Your antlers are good, you see a lot of pearl plates on it, give you an extra dollar today, and I will pick it up like this in the future." As he spoke, he handed twenty pieces of ten pieces and one piece of five pieces to Qin Xiaoyu.
The people around who sell medicinal herbs are a little red-eyed, and most of them have sold dozens or more than a hundred, and this little girl has sold them for two hundred yuan at once, which is the income of a rural family for a year.
Qin Xiaoyu looked at the envious exclamations around her, quickly rolled the money into a ball, held it in the palm of her hand and ran to the toilet, she had to put the money in the small pocket of the vest, so that her heart could be sure.
The two little squirrels had been hiding in their schoolbags, and when they saw no one at this time, they secretly popped out their little heads, looked at Qin Xiaoyu's little face that was red with excitement, and shook their heads: "You are about to get into the eyes of money." ”
Qin Xiaoyu smiled happily, feeling the wad of money bulging in the pocket of the small vest in his hand, and then he could go to his mother if he saved it, thinking about it, his eyes were red because of joy and excitement.
Qin Xiaoyu went home very cautiously with two hundred yuan, she felt that the people who passed by and looked at her were all beating her the idea of two hundred yuan in her pocket, and when the carriage arrived in the town, Qin Xiaoyu put her mind at ease, carried two little squirrels on her back, and trotted all the way home.
When they arrived at the door of the house, the two little squirrels ran out of their schoolbags, jumped up the big tree, and said goodbye to Qin Xiaoyu: "We will eat apricots in a few days, you have to be optimistic about whose tree is not pesticides." After saying that, he jumped between the branches and quickly disappeared.
Qin Xiaoyu looked at the little squirrel that was missing, and muttered, "How do I know whose apricot tree has not been sprayed!"
