To be precise, in 1906, Gaojiazhai in Nangong County did not have an enterprise called "breeding farm". When Pang Zi went to look for Chen Tianhua, he wrote a sentence on the hastily built wall of the place that was collectively called the "breeding ground", "The common people have the final say in the affairs of the common people." And the simple gate hung a signboard, on which the book "Gaojiazhai Peasant Association". This is Chen Tianhua's handsome handwriting.

"Is the star station there?" Pang Zi shouted as soon as he walked into the door of the peasant association.

Jing Side was leading several members of the peasant association to sort out the wheelbarrow while discussing the excavation work to be completed today. Seeing Pang Zi coming, he hurriedly said, "Captain Pang, Mr. Chen is in the earthworm field." ”

Although the fat man is known as the huge king to the outside world, in the peasant association, Pang Zi served as the captain of the "transportation brigade". In fact, it is a combination of a military team and a caravan. For the time being, the status is below the peasant association. Pang Zi was able to accept the "guidance" of the peasant association at least superficially, firstly, because of Chen Tianhua's efforts to persuade him, and secondly, a very important thing that Pang Zi learned from Uncle Jing Tingbin was that if you want people to follow you, you have to do things for others.

Although the status is under the so-called "peasant association", the peasant association is also an organization of the local people. Moreover, the peasants did not have the courage to really call on the already famous "huge king".

"I'll go over and have a look now." Pang Zi was about to leave as he spoke, but suddenly stopped and smiled at a few people, "This chicken and duck really taste good, thank you for your hard work." ”

"As long as it's delicious, it's delicious." Jing Side also smiled. Seeing Pang Zi hurrying to the earthworm field, Jing Side felt distressed when he thought of the large number of chickens, ducks and pigs that Pang Zi had taken away. Then Jing Side felt funny for a while, if someone told Jing Side four months ago that he would follow that Southern Barbarian Chen Tianhua to live a new life, Jing Side would definitely fight with that person.

Nangong County is originally convenient transportation, businessmen gathered, and is known as "Linqingshui Wharf, Nangong Dry Wharf". It is a big road to transport materials from the canal in Shandong to Taihang Mountain and take Nangong County. Not to mention that in 1906, the Jinghan Railway was completed in its entirety, and the convenient transportation drove the trade development of Nangong County. In particular, the market, which was originally only opened once every half a month, is now open every five days.

There are also more and more goods in the bazaar, and many cheap knick-knacks, iron nails, iron wires, foreign fires, kerosene lamps and other things are also being sold. Everyone doesn't say it, but the psychological side knows that these gadgets are still extremely convenient for life.

There are more than ten miles from Gaojiazhai to the market in Nangong County,

Early in the morning of May, the market is bustling with villagers carrying home-grown things, including coarse cloth, some vegetables, and more chickens and ducks, or eggs and duck eggs that are carefully carried in baskets. The street was a road where five or six people could walk side by side, and most of the people who bought and sold the eggs were on the other side of the road. The morning sun shone down from among the branches and fell on the shoulders of Jing Side and a few fellow villagers. The women and children sat on wheelbarrows, carrying baskets carefully, while chickens and ducks chirped occasionally at their feet.

Since the opening of the Jinghan Railway, there has been an increase in business travel between the canal and the railway. The demand for poultry eggs has become greater, and even the scale of shops specializing in buying poultry eggs has become much larger. In 1906, the livelihood of the rural people was very simple, they raised chickens and ducks at home, collected some eggs and duck eggs, or raised chickens and ducklings and sold them. As long as it is not a disaster year, the approximate price is fixed. A few eggs can be exchanged for a red head rope, a few chickens and ducks can be exchanged for a few feet of cloth, or some other daily necessities. Or how much it can be sold for at all, there is a fixed number. How many things can be exchanged for a few chickens and ducks and two dozen eggs he brought, Jing Side has already calculated this number early.

"Two taels of eggs, two of duck eggs, and three of ten salted duck eggs." The guy gave a bunch of numbers.

"What?" Jing Side could barely believe his ears. The good hope sank, and he and the others froze.

"Isn't it still four pennies an egg in February?"

"Wuwen has also been sold, let alone four." The guy replied.

"How can it be so cheap?" Jing Side couldn't help but ask.

The guy smiled: "Dude, someone has shipped a lot recently." Other people's things are really good, cheap, and the amount is large. These days, there are long queues of merchants who come here to buy his things. That's the price that's it. ”

Jing Side pushed a wheelbarrow early in the morning and rushed with his fellow villagers. At this time, things are best sold. I was full of energy along the way, and after hearing the news, I immediately relaxed. "Your price is too low. I sold it and lost money. ”

The guy seems to have seen a lot of people like Jing Side, looking at Jing Side's gloomy and surprised look, the guy couldn't help but persuade, "Brother, I think you can simply sell it now." Our shopkeeper has been saying in the past few days that he will not accept other people's chickens, ducks and eggs in a few days. ”

"You don't take it? You don't take me and sell it on the street. Jing Side came to lose his temper.

Seeing that several people were in such emotions, the guy just smiled, but said nothing more.

But it's just a rhetoric that he wants to sell on the street, and what Jing Side is going to do today has already been arranged. If you can't get back early, a lot of things will be delayed. He was hesitating, but he saw a few people coming with their own eggs. The same disappointing answer was soon obtained.

"Let's go to Gaojiazhai and sell things." The people who came later were obviously not from Gaojiazhai, and they discussed and said.

"The market in Gaojiazhai is not open. I'm from Gaojiazhai. Jing Side couldn't help but say.

Those people were shocked, but they didn't have any ideas, and finally couldn't help but beg the guy: "Brother, you don't have to make so much money, right?" The price is too low. Eggs are still sold according to one of the four texts. ”

"Yes, you don't lack that money. We can't sell a few eggs either, so you can help. ”

The guy smiled wryly, "That's not going to work." It's all the boss who is here to save money, and it's useless for you to tell me. ”

Everyone knew that the owner of the egg business was a dime a dime, and it was useless to ask him to negotiate the price. And the so-called selling somewhere else is just a rhetoric. Not to mention whether you can run there or not, everyone is actually not familiar with the markets in other places at all. When I went to other markets, I don't know if there were ** ducks to buy and sell. In fact, they only have this one store to sell.

The joy of going out early in the morning vanished, and several people looked at the pitiful copper coins in their palms, and they didn't know what to say. In the silence, I suddenly saw a large number of people coming from the distance on the side of the road. They used carts drawn by mules. It didn't take long for the car to stop in front of the store. On the car were layers of cages, which were filled with chickens and ducks. When the cages were unloaded from the car, the chickens and ducks crowed. For a while, it was really boiling. Not only chickens and ducks, but also more than a dozen baskets of eggs were transported from the car. There are thousands of them.

Jing Side and the others saw these in their eyes, and then they knew that what the guy said was not a lie. And many of the duck eggs turned out to be cyan, and one of the duck eggs fell to the ground during the transport, but it was not broken as expected, but rolled over with a gurgling. This turned out to be a salted duck egg.

Jing Side brought his own child over this time, and the child saw the duck egg coming straight to him, so he happily stepped forward and grabbed it. The person who carried it, Jing Side, knew him, and he was also a villager of Gaojiapu. Reduced to an acquaintance, the man smiled kindly, and didn't even bother about the duck eggs. This clearly implies that the duck eggs were given to Jing Side.

Just not knowing what to say, Jing Side's baby has already begun to peel duck eggs. Bai Shengsheng's egg white makes people like it when they look at it, "Mother, you eat it first." "The doll is very filial. Jing Side's wife already laughed out loud when she heard her son say this. The two of them pushed, and the mother took a small bite, and the oily dark golden egg yolk was revealed in the bitten part. A faint aroma followed. Jing Side only glanced at it, and knew that other people's duck eggs were really much stronger than their own. No matter how you marinate your duck eggs, you can't be so oily.

Look at this is what Chen Tianhua raised in that feedlot. It's not that Jing Side hasn't heard of Chen Tianhua and they got that farm, but since people didn't come to provoke him, Jing Side didn't want to make trouble. But he really didn't expect that there were some things that he couldn't encounter without encountering them.

In the following days, the egg market in Nangong County underwent fundamental changes. In the face of the overwhelming product quality of the feedlot and the overwhelming sales price, the merchants from all walks of life are not very saturated with fixed purchases. Since Chen Tianhua's feedlot was able to ship a steady number of shipments, piecemeal acquisitions became unprofitable. Those eggs that are obviously of inferior quality can be reduced to a lot of trouble in bargaining if they are not purchased.

As a result, the farmers in Nangong County found that their eggs, duck eggs, and chickens and ducks were not only far from being sold at the previous price, but even when they could not sell them, the rules that they had been able to maintain for generations fell apart in an instant. This chaos lasted less than a month, and the people were already angry.

Chen Tianhua still remembers the first time the door was blocked, seven or eight peasants, including women, stood in front of the farm and began to curse the street. The content of the scolding is actually varied, and it seems to have nothing to do with the feedlot. But every word has the same meaning, Chen Tianhua is rich and unkind. Don't let everyone live a good life.

Chen Tianhua is a real intellectual who worries about the country and the people, and a revolutionary who sincerely hopes that the people can live a good life. Therefore, being scolded as being rich and unkind, Chen Tianhua really felt very aggrieved. If it weren't for Chen Ke who gave Chen Tianhua a special lesson before leaving, he also left a special manuscript. I'm afraid that Chen Tianhua can't help but shed tears.
