Chapter 227: Catch up with the big set
The pigsty is good, the next step is to catch the piglets, the selection of piglets is a technical job, if you don't know how to choose the sick pig seedlings, you can't raise it for a long time to die, just don't die, others are anxious to raise the pig fat and strong in less than a year to slaughter, you raise a pig like a young lady, the food is not delicious, not to mention a year out of the slaughter, three years may not grow enough pounds, blind effort.
Wang Ying has never raised pigs, and she doesn't know how to choose piglets, but Sun Xiufang is an expert in this regard, she didn't raise pigs less when she was young, and basically raised two pigs every year.
Counting that it was the day of the big set, Wang Ying took her mother-in-law to catch the big set.
The bazaar is located in the middle of several villages, every three, six, nine is a small set, the fifteenth day of each month is a large set, the big set sells more complete things, eats, uses, department stores, livestock and so on, this set has existed for a long time, we are automatically divided into several areas, melons, fruits, pears, peaches, clothing fabrics, food grains in one area, vegetable seedlings, saplings in one area, farming tools in one area, piglets, lambs and other livestock taste is relatively large, this piece is automatically concentrated at the end of the market.
There are a lot of people rushing to the market, bustling, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked to the livestock area, far away, a fishy smell came over, the fishy smell came from the fish stalls on the side of the road, several fish sellers, it looks very fresh, some fish that are not dead are rolling on it, seeing someone looking over, the fishmonger is busy greeting, "Sister, buy fish, look at my fish, fresh." ”
Wang Ying was moved, pulled Sun Xiufang to squat down in front of the stall, pointed to a big fish and asked, "How is this fish sold?" ”
"This is five cents a pound." The fishmonger opened the gills of the fish and showed it to Wang Ying, "Sister, you know how to do it at first glance, look at this flower gills, how good." The big fish struggled, and flicked its tail when it was about to die, and the fishmonger saw it and hurriedly said, "Look, it's not dead yet, how about it?" Coming to one? ”
It's good, Wang Ying nodded, but the price is also good, Wang Ying pointed to the piles of small fish and asked, "What about this?" ”
"It's five cents and two pounds." The fishmonger took half a plate of fish on a scale and served it to his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, "Sister, auntie, don't look at this fish, it's delicious, go home and clean it up, put it fried in oil, don't even spit out the bones, don't mention how fragrant." ”
The family has not improved the lives of the children for a long time, Wang Ying has the heart to buy some fish back, but the boss can't say that it is a few hu, you have to bargain, "That's it, such a big small fish, can only be fried in oil, otherwise it can't be eaten, how much cheaper?" ”
"It can't be less, it's not easy for us to catch fish, and it's not expensive to get it."
If you want to talk about bargaining, Sun Xiufang is an expert, and the theory is the first to say, "This is not expensive, this fish is so little, it is not enough trouble to clean up, go to the stomach and cheeks, you can go to half of the head, it is not as cost-effective as a big fish." ”
"Then Auntie, you will buy big fish." The fishmonger grabbed the big fish in his hand, "This one is very good, you can go back and braise it, or stew it, it tastes fresh." ”
"Isn't this expensive, you want five cents a pound, and besides, it's all dead, can't it be cheaper?"
"I'm not dead, I was flicking my tail just now." The fishmonger shook it in his hand, and flicked the tail of the fish, probably because the fish had used up the last of its energy just now, and no matter how the fishmonger fiddled, he would not move.
"Look, I'll just say dead." Sun Xiufang was happy in her heart, the fish died in time, "You can't have the same price for dead fish and live fish, it's cheaper, I want it." ”
If she doesn't want to buy, she won't judge your things at all, and the fishmonger also wants to make this business, anyway, the fish are caught from the river, and you don't need to have capital, at most you can do a little effort, he pretended to be in pain, "Okay, give you five cents cheaper, four cents and five pounds." ”
"No, it's about the same for three pounds a dollar."
"That's not good, at least four cents."
Wang Ying watched her mother-in-law bargain with the fishmonger on the side, in her heart, it would be good to be able to take it for four cents a catty, she secretly tugged Sun Xiufang's clothes, Sun Xiufang didn't pay attention to her at all, but said: "You don't sell it, if you don't sell it, we'll leave." Sun Xiufang stood up, pulled Wang Ying and pretended to leave, and said to Wang Ying, "You see so many fish sellers in this episode, let's go to other stalls and take a look." ”
The fishmonger saw that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took two steps before shouting back, "Okay, I've sold it to you." ”
Sun Xiufang raised her eyebrows at Wang Ying proudly, and then squatted back, "Then you can call me this." ”
"You old lady, you're really good at bargaining." The fishmonger put the fish on the weighing plate with a helpless face, "One catty and nine taels." ”
"Is it that heavy?" Sun Xiufang didn't believe it, and poked her head to look at the fixed star.
"One pound and nine taels, high." The fishmonger pushed the weighing pole to show Sun Xiufang, "Auntie, when we do business, we pay attention to the word integrity, and you can't deceive people."
"How much?"
"Six cents two, how about I take you six cents?"
The fishmonger snatched a lock of straw from the side, threaded it through the cheek of the fish and tied it into a knot, and Wang Ying hurriedly counted out six cents from his pocket and handed it over, and took the fish.
Don't look at spending money, sometimes spending money makes people happy. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law carried the big fish and continued to look for the pig seedlings seller.
When I arrived at the livestock market, the smell was even heavier, and the smell of sheep and the excrement of all kinds of livestock made people only frown, and people who loved cleanliness walked by with their noses covered.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law look for a stall and a stall to find the past, not to mention, the things here are quite complete, not only piglets, but also rabbits, calves, lambs, ......no matter what kind of animal, when they were young, they were very cute, Wang Ying looked at them one by one, and everything was good, the rabbits were not raised, it turned out that they had raised rabbits, raised them, had feelings, and were reluctant to kill, and finally ran away from the holes, and the lambs were good, so docile, that is, they had to go out to raise this thing, and they were really not free.
Finally found the pig seedlings to sell, the size of the pig seedlings of each family is different, some are bigger, a little smaller, the larger ones are more expensive, 20 yuan a piece, the small one is cheaper, fifteen yuan a piece, the two of them walked from the beginning to the end, standing in front of a stall at the back, the stall owner is an old man, he put two large baskets in front of him, each basket has three piglets. They have a thin layer of fluff on their bodies, all over the body are pink, one by one squeezed together, the big ears are ridged, like two small pu fans fanning back and forth, the small black eyes are round, the long nose is pouting, revealing two big nostrils arched, it seems to be still looking for breast milk, the pigs are not big, that is, the appearance of the full moon, it looks very cute.
"Mother, look, it's fun." Wang Ying immediately couldn't move, she touched this, touched the other, her eyes were full of love, "Mother, which one do you say is the best." ”
The old man who sold the pig was smoking with a dry tobacco bag, and when he saw a customer coming to the door, he was busy knocking the cigarette ash on the soles of his shoes, pinning the eye bag pot to his waist, stroking the back of a little pig and saying: "Comrade, my pig seedlings are the best, the fat is fast, and you will grow meat if you eat some food, and I will be able to slaughter you in a year." ”
"This big brother, don't brag, I'll take a look first." Sun Xiufang is still sure of herself for picking pigs, she first swept all six little pigs, and then picked up the happiest one and looked at it in her hand.
The little pig was huddled together with his brothers warmly, and suddenly came out of the warm place into the hands of a stranger, and when he was frightened, he screamed and screamed, and writhed as he barked, and his little tail kept swinging.
Sun Xiufang first touched the end of the piglet's nose and felt the wetness, so she went to explore the piglet's abdominal circumference, checked everywhere, and then put the piglet back in the basket.
This one is good, with a loud voice, quick reaction, and ruddy skin. Luster, these are all signs of health, Sun Xiufang nodded secretly in her heart, she looked for another one in the basket, and did a check like just now, and then asked: "Big brother, how do you sell pig seedlings?" ”
"Fifteen and eleven heads, what price people sell, what price we sell."
"Hey, how big are the pigs that people sell for fifteen, and your pigs are all small in other families, and they are also sold for fifteen? It's too expensive, let's get it cheaper, I'll buy two. ”
"Look at what you said, it's bigger than my pigs, and they all sell pig seedlings, even because it's big, it's not big, oh, it's big, and the big one costs twenty yuan a piece, we can't compare it with that, I don't believe you can go and see it again, but everything that sells fifteen is about the same size." The old man said, pulling away the little pork chops of the pig seedlings in his basket, causing the six little pigs to scurry around in the basket, "This eldest sister, look at how happy my little pigs are, let me tell you, you can't just look at the size of the pig seedlings, the knowledge in it is big, I tell you." ”
The old man is going to popularize the professional knowledge of picking pigs and seedlings for his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, "First, you have to see that the pig spirit is not spiritual, the healthy piglets are lively and active, the eyes are bright, the cry is loud, and the back hair is smooth." The old man said and picked up a little pig with his hands and let Sun Xiufang touch it, "Sister, you touch it, look at how good this pig feels in my house, look at this skin, how good-looking, put it in the pig herd, it is also a handsome pig." ”
"Hahaha." The old man's witty language made the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laugh, laughing is laughing, but they can't compromise on the price, Sun Xiufang didn't wait for the old man to put the two and three out and said directly: "I won't tell you more, fourteen, fourteen, I'll grab two heads." ”
The old man pondered: Fourteen? The price is okay, if you wait until the break, the rest will not be sold for fourteen.
Wang Ying, a person who likes to catch up with the evening market, why didn't he come to the time to disperse today, mainly because buying pig seedlings is different from buying other things, buying pig seedlings must be the best, not buying the leftovers.
"Okay, I'll sell it to you, the first shot business, it's also considered to open a market for me."
