Chapter 59: Thanksgiving and Eating
The people in the village 6 continued to come out with a whole sack of big benzene ducks.*** Even the village chief carried the bag on his back.
Boss Wang took out the calculator in the car. There is also this notepad standing in front of the large flat scale. "One by one. Hold your horses. Everybody's got their turn. The villagers, who had just been a little noisy, suddenly calmed down and lined up.
Zhang Niu stood next to Boss Wang and watched them pass the scales, and put fifteen ducks into the iron cage. Boss Wang, who was grabbing the duck and looking at it, shook the fat duck: "Your big duck in this village is good." It's past the moulting season. Fat enough. ”
Zhang Niu also boasted, "That's a good mountain, a good water, and a good duck." Ducks in the countryside are slow to grow. Rest assured of everything else,"
"The ducks are good, and we sell them too. Last time, I took a batch of meat ducks back in that place in the Upper East. Lost a lot. Looks good. But the meat just doesn't taste good. You say it's weird. If you hadn't called me. The ducks don't really want to collect it. ”
"Is it true that all the people in the city are eating duck now?"
"It's all the brand that your fairy duck brought out. Duck meat is selling well now. Life in the city is high, who will buy some back, just want good things. Workers are not afraid to spend money. He said with a drop in his mouth.
I can't imagine that I still drive the duck meat by myself. No wonder ducks are now expensive, and a pound of meat duck costs five or six yuan. It seems that life has progressed and the taste is much higher.
A cage of ducks was carried onto the car. Every time a household is weighed, a whole stack of bills is taken out of the bag. The villagers will be asked to sign their names when they are posted. Loading ducks and giving money is all going on in an orderly manner.
Look at the number of ducks in the book. When I saw it, it turned out that there were more than 1,500 of them. There are still a lot of villagers in the back of the ducks are not installed, a rough look, the second dog family and the Shengming family that raises fish are at most three hundred, and one is five hundred, accounting for more than half. It seems that they all have a good eye. There are a lot of lively ones under the camphor tree. Now I regret it a little. The price is so good, I don't have to raise some miscellaneous items. A few of them also dragged the mother-in-law home with their ears, and it seemed that they were going back to kneel on the washboard.
The half-empty rear compartment was filled with iron cages. Vacate a few cages. There will be 3,000 ducks in the rough calculation. For the second dog family and the Shengming family, the ducks were sold for 15,000 and 25,000. Other stores can basically sell for about two or three thousand. Low income in the first half of the year. Even the village chief's house sold for more than 1,000 yuan.
Boss Wang was in a hurry to go back after loading the ducks. Zhang Niu didn't let him stay longer. Zhang Niu, who was about to take the canned fish home, called out to Shengming in the back, "Zhang Wa." Wait. Don't be in a hurry. ”
"What's the matter?" Zhang Niu, who stopped, said.
Katsuaki, who had just sold the duck, looked happy. "Come to my house for dinner in the evening, and the village chief will also come over, but don't forget." Without waiting for Zhang Niu to answer, he hurried back with an empty sack.
Zhang Niu also knew something, and it was estimated that he would sell ducks and sell a lot of money. I was going to invite him to dinner, after all, he still brought it up. The traffickers also contacted themselves.
In the evening, Shengming called his son over and called Zhang Niu to go over with Zhang's father. Originally, my father was not going to go, but Zhang Niu only went after talking in his ear. And my mother stayed at home. Generally, when guests are invited to drink, women are not prepared to sit at the table of the six immortals. You can only eat a la carte food on the side. It has been circulating for a long time, and it can't be changed for a while.
Shengming's house is close to the village chief's house. A small three-story bungalow, the outside is covered with white porcelain, and a half-used tractor is parked in the front yard. Before I entered the house, I saw Katsuaki come out. "You're here. Everyone is waiting for you. ”
Inside, the bright hall is furnished with transparent glass tables. There are quite a few dishes on it. People also came to the second dog's house. The village chief's house. Just added Zhang Niu and the two of them made a table.
"Late. Three shots first. "Give Zhang Niu and Zhang's father a full cup of rice wine.
Look at the full cup in front of you. Zhang Niu hurriedly said, "That amount of alcohol is not good, let's change some Sprite." ”
Dad had a very happy cup of belly. Pick up the dish and put it in your bowl. "The Shengming who doesn't drink rice wine will change some Sprite to it!"
The village chief who drank wine said, "Young man, you have to learn to drink." Look at your dad, he used to be the champion of drinking in our village. ”
Zhang Niu also heard that his father was very good at drinking, but he didn't expect to be famous in the village.
The old man who was sipping wine smiled and said, "Don't mention it." It's all old-fashioned. Now that I'm old, you see, my sons are so old. It's not okay to be old. He took another sip of wine.
"Don't just drink, come and eat this chicken. Cut it white to see if it fits the taste. Katsuaki stood up and greeted.
The evening dish was indeed sumptuous. About a dozen dishes. There is meat. There are fish. It's a big meal. The second dog, who was eating the dish, raised his wine glass, "Come on." Zhang Wa. This time, thanks to you, we can make money in our village. To you. ”
"Yes, just raise the big benzene duck casually and add a thousand yuan to the family, and the mother-in-law at home praised me. The village chief said cheerfully.
"Thank you for your kindness, at first I thought I would lose money and I was worried. Unexpectedly, the price of ducks in the market is high this year. That's what you dare to raise. At most, I'm just pulling the string down. It's not worth it, thank you," Zhang Niu said modestly while drinking Sprite.
"Anyway, you brought us to raise it, and I'm the one who thinks about it. Let's drink it," Ergou raised his glass again.
I didn't drink enough until nine o'clock in the evening. Zhang Niu sat there mostly listening to them talk about the past. There is also the gossip in the village, listening to Zhang Niu sighing. It turned out that his honest father would also talk about the gossip. It's amazing.
Dad drank too much, and he swayed when he walked, saying that he was not drunk, and he could still see the road. Listening to Zhang Niu, he could only smile bitterly. What's going on? Fortunately, Dad Zhang hasn't learned to work, or if he gets drunk, he will have to do it.
After helping my dad home. It's easy to talk about my mother. Alcoholic smoking. Zhang Niu didn't go back to Happy Xiaozhu that night, and stayed at home directly.
The crowing of a rooster sounded outside the house. There was already a lot of light coming in from the head of the bed.
After breakfast. Zhang Niu ran to Shengming to borrow a secondary fishing net. Happy Xiaozhu's pond is bigger than Shengming's, and the fishing net was originally too short. Do not pick up another section. A simple paragraph is busy until noon. Then he shouted that Shengming used a tractor to help send it up. A pair of fishing nets also has more than 200 catties. One is not so easy to take.
The road is a bit slippery. A tractor that eats hard can also climb up. Two people were carried into the grocery room with bamboo poles.
"Thank you. Help to send it up. ”
"Thanks. It's not a very far road. If it's okay, I'll go back first. ”
I borrowed a fishing net and prepared to wait for the big white ducks to sell them, and then pull them into a few nets from the pond where the ducks were raised. A few thousand pounds should be fine. Blackfish and forktails. It's still young, and it won't be until next year.
This grass carp. After the flat fish floated a few times, they could see it before they decided to pull up a few nets. These days, the weather is unpredictable. The fish in the pond surface most of the night. In fact, it is the problem of hypoxia. This allowed Zhang Niu to sprinkle into a whole bag of industrial salt. to let them sink back into the water.
The third is more. Ask for recommendations and favorites.
