"I'm not bragging!" Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Huzi was anxious on the spot: "If Aunt Dong doesn't believe it, I'll call them all now!" ”

"Hehe, I believe, I believe." Touching Huzi's head with a smile, he listened to Dong Bai's voice, and finally talked about today's topic:

"Then do you usually catch bugs and play?"

"Yes!" Huzi immediately nodded and said, "There are a lot of insects in the field, and my mother often asks us to catch them." ”

"Oh? Why is that? Dong Bai said with a little surprise.

"My mother said that insects are like thieves, they will steal our food, so she wants us to destroy them. A few of us would often go to the fields to catch bugs. ”

After learning that these children often catch insects, Dong Bai's eyes immediately flashed with a hint of joy: "So, you are all masters of catching insects?" ”

"Of course!" Speaking of pride, I saw Huzi holding his head high and said proudly:

"And I'm the best! I once caught seventy bugs in one afternoon, and no one has beaten me to this day. ”

"Wow! So powerful, huh? ”

After admiring from the bottom of his heart, he saw Dong Bai suddenly squeeze out a flattering smile, and asked with a smile at Huzi:

"After that...... Can you give all the bugs you catch to Auntie? ”

"Huh? You—You want our bugs? ”

In this era of scarcity of toys, these little insects can bring a lot of joy to these children every day, and they are one of their important toys on weekdays.

So as soon as he heard that the other party wanted to take away the insects, Huzi's face immediately showed reluctance:

"Aunt Dong, that, that...... If you want to play with bugs, why don't you play with us? Why do you have to take it? ”

As soon as these words came out, Dong Baiwaner smiled, shook his head and explained:

"Auntie doesn't want to play with bugs, she uses them to feed the chickens. When the chicken has a full stomach, it can lay many, many eggs. When the time comes, not only will we be able to eat ourselves, but we will also be able to help the village get more food. How about Huzi, would you like to help Auntie with this? ”

Seeing that the tiger in the audience was still hesitant, Hua Xing, who was sitting on the side, also opened his mouth to persuade:

"Huzi, if you are willing to help us, my uncle will not only give each of you a wooden sword engraved with 'Little Hero of Luoyuan Village', but also give each of you a chicken egg every day as compensation in the future. How's that, are you interested? ”

Although he has chickens at home, eggs are not something that tigers can eat if they want to.

Only during the New Year's holidays, his mother will take out one for him to satisfy his hunger.

Therefore, after hearing that he could get an egg every day in the future, the greedy tiger immediately showed a yearning look.

Coupled with the temptation of "lettering wooden sword", after a short thought, Huzi finally nodded and agreed to the matter.

……

Early the next morning, Huaxing rushed to the barracks early in the morning and asked Tang Sheng about the current construction situation.

After a month of hard work, although large military facilities such as warehouses and school yards have not yet been completed, all the barracks where the soldiers live have been completed, and everyone has a place to live.

After learning the news, Huaxing dispatched 300 soldiers to the chicken farm on the spot and began the construction of chicken coops and chicken coops.

In addition, at the request of Huaxing, Tang Sheng sent a team of people early in the morning to the surrounding villages to buy chickens and poultry. I plan to spend three or five days on all four villages near the Yuanyuan Mountain, and try to buy more hens to come back.

In terms of chicken farms, Dong Bai and Diao Chan came to the temporary chicken farm early in the morning and met with more than a dozen villagers who attended the meeting yesterday.

Today, everyone brought their chickens over according to the requirements of the meeting. After getting together, there were sixty or seventy of them, and the scene was particularly lively.

In order to start work as soon as possible, Diao Chan divided the group into two groups:

One group is responsible for setting up fences, taking care of the chickens, and getting the chicks to start mating and breeding as soon as possible; The other group is responsible for the preparation of systems and the collection of feed. Every work is in full swing.

……

Seeing that the work in the village had been arranged, Huaxing left Zhang Liao in the camp to preside over the overall situation, and he himself called a carriage and drove all the way to Luoyang with Tang Sheng.

After sitting in the car for half an hour, Tang Sheng finally couldn't hold it back, and asked Hua Xing, who was closing his eyes and recuperating on the other side:

"General, what are we going to Luoyang this time for?"

Hearing this, Hua Xingcai lazily replied: "Market research." ”

"The market ...... Salt fishing? What do you mean? ”

"Just go...... Shopping for the set. ”

"Huh? Shopping? Tang Sheng was surprised: "There are so many things in the village waiting for us to deal with, now I am afraid that it is not appropriate to go to Luoyang to visit the market, right?" ”

"Hehe, what's inappropriate? You'll understand when you get there. ”

After smiling mysteriously, Hua Xing stopped paying attention to Tang Sheng, leaned on the car and closed his eyes again.

……

Luoyuan Village is not far from Luoyang, and after a day and a night of journey, Hua and Tang arrived at Luoyang City in the early morning of the next day.

Because of the murder of Dong Zhuo, Huaxing is also a celebrity in Luoyang.

In order not to be recognized, Hua Xing deliberately dressed up, so he quietly blended into the city with Tang Sheng.

After entering the city, Huaxing first found an inn to live in.

After a simple meal, he took Tang Sheng to the Chengxi Market.

Located in the west of Luoyang City, the market is the largest market in the city, and many vendors and customers come here every day. From morning to night, there is a constant flow of people, and it is definitely the most lively place in Luoyang City.

The so-called "bazaar" is, to put it bluntly, a few streets that are neither long nor short, with many stalls on both sides of the street.

In these stalls, there are people selling ingredients, some people selling supplies, some people selling medicines, some people selling clothes and pants, there are many kinds of goods, and even livestock are peddled here. Compared with the relatively backward Yuanyuan Village, the materials here are obviously much richer.

followed Huaxing to walk around the market for two full laps, and seeing that the other party had neither the intention of purchasing nor asking, Tang Sheng couldn't hold back again, and asked:

"General, are you looking for something? Why don't you tell the general, and I'll help you search for it. ”

Hua Xing, who was standing in the venue, shook his head slightly: "No need, I've found it!" ”

"Found it?" Looking at Huaxing, who was empty-handed, Tang Sheng was confused and said, "Then why don't you buy it?" ”

"Hehe, who said I'm here to buy something? Didn't I tell you that I was here to do market research? ”

After glancing at Tang Sheng angrily, Hua Xing didn't say anything more, and walked quickly to a stall not far away.

The stall occupies a small area, only two or three square meters.

There are several "stocking boards" with circular grooves on the stalls, on which twenty or thirty eggs stand.

Other than that, there was nothing else on the stall.
