Chapter 10: Zhangjiagou Corn Harvest (1)

Zhangjiagou is located at the foot of Dabai Mountain, and there is a very famous hole next to it, called Yahong Cave. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the older generation, it turned out to be a refuge for the Eight Kings when they killed SC. If you go inside, you can still pick up the bones on people.

Because a large amount of flood came out of it a few decades ago, it is called Yahong Cave.

The opening is small at first, but once inside, it is empty. There are a lot of bats living here, and they are everywhere in the evening.

Zhangjiagou is said to be at the foot of Dabai Mountain, but it is actually more appropriate to say that it is on the mountainside. I saw that the whole village was gathered on the top of the road, and on the opposite side was a long canyon. The canyon is full of rice paddies. The paddy fields of the entire village of Zhangjiagou are all in this canyon, which looks very compact.

Liu Xiaoming rode the motorcycle he had just bought, and the cold spring breeze was blowing. From time to time, people on both sides of the road are busy with farm work, which looks particularly quiet.

At this time, it is time to officially plant potatoes. In many fields, there are large piles of farm manure piled up in the fields. Farm manure is the weeds in some fields that are cut home and placed in pigsty or cattle pens. After the intersection of weeds and animal manure, it is the best fertilizer for potatoes.

"Uncle, I'm in the field so early."

Stopping the motorcycle, Liu Xiaoming chatted with a middle-aged man who was picking up dung. This uncle is also a good-natured person, and when he heard this, he put down the flat burden on his shoulders.

"Haha, it's early, but it's early for you young people."

When Liu Xiaoming saw this, he also sat down. took out the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang in his pocket, handed one over, and put one in his mouth.

The uncle took Liu Xiaoming's cigarette and pinned it to his ear. Then, he took out a white plastic bag from his purse.

Once opened, take out a long cigarette stick from inside. Then, take out a long section of tobacco leaves. Liu Xiaoming looked at the other party in surprise, not knowing what it meant. Xu saw Liu Xiaoming's doubts, and the uncle said with a smile: "I've smoked a big cigarette all my life, you guys are really not used to this cigarette, there is no smoke smell at all when you smoke it, it is very light." It's still home-grown and easy to smoke, so why don't you take a bite? ”

Liu Xiaoming hurriedly shook his head, just kidding, he knew the strength of the other party's cigarette. That smell can make people drunk. This drunken smoke is worse than drunkenness.

Seeing Liu Xiaoming shaking his head, the other party didn't care. Wrap the tobacco leaves into a long round strip like a cigar, then take out a lighter, light it, and take a sip. Suddenly, an enticing smell of smoke appeared.

Not to mention, compared with the smell of smoke, the cigarette in Liu Xiaoming's hand has no taste at all.

Throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand, Liu Xiaoming said to the uncle who was enjoying it: "Uncle, don't you have a lot of corn in this village."

After shaking his head and savoring the smell of smoke, the uncle opened his eyes and said, "Corn, it's a lot, why are you doing this business." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming was overjoyed.

"No, I'm running a pig farm and need a lot of corn, so I'm here today to ask."

"Oh, the pig farmer, the young man is a good young man. Let's be honest, we have a lot of corn in our village, it depends on what price you pay. As long as the price is right, tens of thousands of catties are still very easy. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming knew that he had come to the right place today.

"Uncle, don't worry, the price on my side is absolutely fair. If I come to collect it, it will be seven cents and five pounds. If you send it to the door, it's Bamao. ”

"Oh!!" When the middle-aged uncle heard this, his face was very moved. You know, since last year's pig price plummeted, the price of corn has also fallen, although not as ruthless as the pig price, but the impact is still quite large.

Generally, corn in rural areas is purchased by some corn dealers and then directly brought to the city to be sold. This year's price is also around seven cents. I didn't expect the young man in front of me to directly increase by five points, and if the number is large, it is not a small amount.

"Young man, you can really give a price of seven cents and five."

"Yes, if you send it to the door, I'll give it to Bamao."

"Oh!!"

The temptation of Bamao is not small, rural people are good at running a family, even a dollar is money in their eyes.

"Where is your farm, it's not far away, if it's not far, we'll send it to your pig farm."

When Liu Xiaoming heard this, he was overjoyed.

"It's not far away, it's in Zhang Daqing's pig farm in Longhe Village, he is also from here, you should also know each other."

"Oh, he's there, it's not far away. When do you want it, I'll go home and clean it up. ”

"Of course, the sooner the better, preferably for these two days. I want more, I need twenty or thirty thousand catties. ”

"Hey, such a large amount, it seems that there are a lot of them."

This uncle was also taken aback, he didn't expect the other party to ask for so much. You must know that pig farmers will not buy all the corn at one time, and basically will only prepare it for one or two months, otherwise it will be their own loss if it gets wet.

"yes, so you can help me organize it and see how many there are."

"Okay, no problem, you come to my house and sit for a while, and I'll go to the village to help you ask."

After speaking, the uncle didn't care about the dung under him, and took Liu Xiaoming to his home.

On the way, Liu Xiaoming had already learned the other party's information. This uncle's name is Gao Changfu, and he has been rooted here for generations. There is a grandson in the family, and the old couple carries it. As for the sons and daughters-in-law, they have all gone out to work.

The two of them walked for about four or five minutes before they came to a house made of yellow mud.

"Xiao Liu, here, this is your Uncle Gao's house."

Then, Gao Changfu shouted inside: "Hurry up and bring the tea, there are guests coming."

Not long after the words fell, I saw a middle-aged woman in a gray cotton jacket come out with a teacup in her hand.

"Aren't you a-picker? Why are you back now, and what is this??? ”

After speaking, the woman looked at Liu Xiaoming suspiciously. Gao Changfu said to Liu Xiaoming: "This is your aunt, and I don't know what to do at home one day?"

After complaining, it was introduced.

"This is Xiao Liu, who came to us to harvest corn, don't look at him, but he is a pig boss."

When Liu Xiaoming heard this, he smiled awkwardly. Although I decided to raise pigs, I still have a toothache for the title of pig boss.

"Hello Auntie, my name is Liu Xiaoming, what kind of pig boss, they are all making a fuss and eating."

Hearing this, the aunt laughed.

"Hehehe, it's better than this guy, you know how to smoke and drink in one day. Come in and sit, don't stand outside. ”

After speaking, he beckoned Liu Xiaoming into the house. After sitting down, the aunt began to say: "Xiao Liu, what price do you want to collect corn, if it is low, we will not sell it, let it stay at home."

The voice fell, and before Liu Xiaoming could speak, Gao Changfu next to him started to speak.

"What do you say, Xiao Liu is a big boss, and the price given is eight cents to the door, and it costs tens of thousands of catties."

"Wow, that's a lot."

The aunt was also jumped, and the price was also very satisfied. However, then the embarrassment began.

"However, our family doesn't have so much, although the number of days last year was good, but in addition to feeding pigs at home, it can be sold for about 2,000 catties."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming almost laughed. This aunt is really funny, their family doesn't have so many other people's families. This Gao Changfu's face also darkened, and he scolded: "How stupid are you mother-in-law, our family has no other people's family." We have more than 20 households in Zhangjiagou, and there are tens of thousands of catties. ”

Hearing this, this aunt was also embarrassed, knowing that she was stupid. smiled at Liu Xiaoming, but he didn't have such a good temper for this tall uncle.

"I'm stupid, I'm not stupid, why did I marry such a person like you back then, don't say anything about eating ready-made food all day long, it's not good, it's not good. If you have the ability, you won't live with me, it's a big deal for me to go back to my parents' house. ”

The two should be used to bickering, and when they heard this, Uncle Gao was about to argue with reason, but he stopped when he saw Liu Xiaoming there.

"What nonsense are you talking about, someone is not afraid of losing face."

The aunt also knew that it was not the occasion, so she muttered a few words and went into the house.

"Xiao Liu, your aunt is like this. Hahaha, let's go check out the corn. ”

Liu Xiaoming also saw Gao Changfu's embarrassment, and said: "Okay, let's go and see, don't let me look good."

After speaking, Gao Changfu took Liu Xiaoming and walked towards the back of the hall.
