Wu Sifu and Zhou Jueming hurried and hurried, and finally completed the compilation of 10 drying mats, 20 bamboo screens, 20 shauns, and 40 brushes that Wu Ming wanted.

Wu Sifu called Wu Ming and said that the bamboo products you want have been completed, when will they be sent to the city to you?

Wu Ming said that the renovation was almost completed, and it could be sent to the city in two days. The two discussed the question of who would find the car to deliver.

Wu Sifu considered that Wu Ming was busy with business, so he promised to find a small four-wheeled vehicle to deliver goods to the city.

Wu Sifu contacted Tang Xiaopeng, who was doing business in the city, and asked him to help find a pickup truck or small four-wheeled vehicle to go to the Zhucun Village Office to pull a mat.

On this day, the weather was fine, Wu Sifu and Zhou Jueming tied up the mats, bamboo sieves, and shakpans, and packed up the bedding, pots and bowls and other household items to be used for renting a house, and moved them to the village office together.

Liu Rong saw that Wu Sifu had a lot of things, so she came to help him move to the village office early in the morning with a backpack. The three of them went back and forth several times before carrying everything to the dam of the village office.

Wu Sifu and Zhou Jueming were smoking and breathing, and Tang Xiaopeng came in a small four-wheeled vehicle.

Wu Sifu asked in surprise: "Can you drive a four-wheeled car?" You're here in person? ”

"It's not mine, but that doesn't mean I can't drive it." Tang Xiaopeng said as he and Zhou Jueming carried the mat onto the four-wheeled car, "I'm not coming, who do you think is coming?" ”

Along the way, Wu Sifu and Tang Xiaopeng chatted with each other.

Tang Xiaopeng: I heard that the election of the new village chief is yellow? Isn't the old village chief leaving?

Wu Sifu: The resignation report of the old village chief has been handed over to the town government, saying that he will go to the provincial capital at the end of March.

Tang Xiaopeng: The old village chief is gone, who will be the village head?

Wu Sifu: Tang Xiaohong shoulder-to-shoulder.

Tang Xiaopeng: You go to Tang Xiaohong to be accommodating and say that you are willing to be the village head. I think it's very suitable for you to be the village head, old and steady.

Wu Sifu: Tell me to be accommodating? Isn't this a typical run for office? I didn't want to be the village head, and if Tang Xiaohong hadn't said that I was cowardly, I wouldn't have even participated in the election.

Tang Xiaopeng: Why?

Tang Xiaopeng felt in his heart that although the village chief was a small official, he was an official and had a salary to receive; People like Wu Sifu, who live in the countryside, can take care of the crops and get a salary, so they have the best of both worlds. He couldn't understand why Wu Sifu didn't want to be the village head.

Wu Sifu: The reason why I don't want to be the village chief is that my feet are inconvenient; Second, my family still owes debts; Third, I want to develop a side hustle.

Tang Xiaopeng: The first two questions are not the reason why you can't be a village head. Do you want to develop a side hustle? What side hustle to develop?

Wu Sifu: Raising pheasants.

Tang Xiaopeng: That's good. But it is necessary to be scientific about feeding methods and techniques.

Wu Sifu: Your old cousin is from the Animal Husbandry Bureau, and I will go to him in the afternoon.

Tang Xiaopeng didn't expect Wu Sifu to be thoughtful, and when he went to the city, he not only delivered the goods, but also ran errands. Hurriedly took out the phone and called his old cousin Jiang Xiaoxiang, telling him to receive Wu Sifu well in the afternoon.

Through a brief conversation, Tang Xiaopeng couldn't help but look up to Wu Sifu. This lame man, although he is in debt of tens of thousands of yuan, is down-to-earth, diligent, and hard-working, and this spirit is worthy of admiration.

When he came to the city, Tang Xiaopeng sent things to Wu Ming's newly opened farmhouse restaurant on the outskirts of the city according to the address provided by Wu Ming.

Wu Ming hurriedly came out of the restaurant and helped Zhou Jueming carry the mat and other things to the restaurant. Tang Xiaopeng saw that the things were unloaded, climbed into the cab, started the car and prepared to leave.

Wu Sifu hurriedly stopped Tang Xiaopeng. Tang Xiaopeng thought that Wu Sifu had something to say, so he hurriedly opened the car door. Wu Sifu stood on tiptoe and handed a hundred-yuan bill to Tang Xiaopeng.

"This little thing, and still collect your money? Can everyone from a village be so polite? Tang Xiaopeng respected Wu Sifu as a gentleman, so he decided not to accept his money. As he spoke, he handed the money back to Wu Sifu.

Wu Ming saw Wu Sifu paying the fare, hurriedly came out of the restaurant, took out the wallet in his trouser pocket, pulled out a 100-yuan bill and handed it over.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaopeng hurriedly said: "Sifu and I are from our hometown and village, and I should help him." If you are his friend, why should we see each other? The next time I come to you for a drink, you're in for a treat. ”

"Okay, okay, let's make a decision." Wu Ming readily agreed.

Tang Xiaopeng drove away with a tud.

Wu Ming greeted Wu Sifu and Zhou Jueming and asked them to go to the old store for lunch. As he spoke, he took out the phone and arranged it for the old store.

Wu Sifu wanted to see Pingping, and thought that he would only go to Jiang Xiaoxiang at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, so he took a taxi with Zhou Jueming to Wu Ming's old store.

It was almost noon, and diners came to the store one after another. Pingping, along with the other waiters, dressed in uniform coats, aprons, hair in a bun, and masks, are well-trained to receive guests.

Pingping arranged Wu Sifu and Zhou Jueming to sit at a small table in the corner, took a cup and poured tea, and said You guys rest first, I have to get busy.

Zhou Jueming said softly to Wu Sifu: "I didn't expect Xiaotian's mother to really look like a waiter, her hands and feet are quite sharp. ”

"As long as you really want to do something, as long as you study hard, you will soon become a person in that industry." Wu Sifu said philosophically.

The two chatted over tea. There were more and more diners in the store, and Wu Sifu thought that instead of sitting and waiting here to eat, it would be better to go to the farmers' market in the city and go to Jiang Xiaoxiang in the afternoon.

Wu Sifu greeted Pingping and led Zhou Jueming to get up and leave.

They arrived at the largest farmers' market in town, the East Gate Farmers' Market. Because it was noon, there were relatively few people buying vegetables in front of the stall.

Wu Sifu went straight to the egg market and asked about the price of chicken from stall to stall. captive chickens 15, 16 yuan a catty; There are local chickens sold by farmers at zero for 20 yuan a catty.

They walked all the way and saw a store with a sign of "Monopoly Pheasant", so they stepped forward to inquire.

Guarding the store was a woman in her thirties, who was playing with her mobile phone with her head down. Seeing that someone came to ask, I thought it was to buy chicken, and I was busy and enthusiastically recommended:

The pheasants in our store come from the mountains, are fed with pure grain, and the growth cycle is 230 days; Authentic local chicken, so that you can eat healthy and eat at ease.

When Wu Sifu heard it, he memorized the advertising slogan quite smoothly. I flipped through the slaughtered chicken, and looked at the chicken feet, it was indeed a running pheasant.

Ask about the price, 25 yuan a catty.

"It's a little expensive." Wu Sifu replied.

"Our pheasant is genuine, and we have registered a trademark. It doesn't matter if you buy one, or ten, it's the price. "The young woman is still passionate.

"I'll buy one." Wu Sifu took out the money from his pocket.

When the young woman saw Wu Sifu buying chicken, she answered the questions raised by Wu Sifu in detail. It turned out that the running pheasants in their store were bred by the owner in a mountain base in Yangjia Town, and they have been at this price for several years.

Wu Sifu asked them what their brand was. The young woman told him that it was called Wankang brand ecological agriculture products.

Wu Sifu wanted to ask their boss's phone number again, but he felt that he was really greedy. When I see Jiang Xiaoxiang later, I will know everything.

Zhou Jueming carried the running pheasant that Wu Sifu bought, and asked suspiciously: "What are you buying a chicken for no reason?" Don't you still have chickens at home? ”

Wu Sifu glanced at Zhou Jueming, and said that you are stupid and you still don't believe it: "Are we going to feed the chickens in the future?" Does feeding chickens require experience and skill? Is it to be sold after the chickens are released from the cage? ”

"Yes, yes, yes. But what does this have to do with you buying chickens? "Zhou Jueming still doesn't know why.

"Tao experience, Tao technology. Do you understand this? Wu Sifu couldn't wait to knock Zhou Jueming's head open to see what he was in his head.

The two of them found a noodle restaurant casually, and one of them ordered a large bowl of noodles with mixed sauce, and after snoring and eating, they saw that the time was almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and then walked towards the Animal Husbandry Bureau in the south of the city.

Wu Sifu and Zhou Jueming found Jiang Xiaoxiang's office according to the map. It seems that Jiang Xiaoxiang has just arrived and is pouring boiling water for himself.

Jiang Xiaoxiang poured another glass of boiled water for each of them, and then took out "100 Questions on Native Chicken Breeding Technology" and "Scientific Breeding Technology Tutorial" from the filing cabinet.

Jiang Xiaoxiang said: "All living things must be cultivated to prevent diseases and antibacterial. venue

It should be disinfected, and the animals must be vaccinated, and they should not be taken lightly.

In addition, Zhucun Mountain is high and densely forested, heavy rain in summer, cold and biting in winter, it is necessary to do a good job of rain and frost prevention for running pheasants. ”

Wu Sifu couldn't help nodding his head and carefully wrote down these professional things with his brain. It seems that the aquaculture industry is not a freewheeling and casual entrepreneurial road.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Xiaoxiang, Wu Sifu sent Zhou Jueming to the bus station, and said to Zhou Jueming while walking, you go back and cut some ci bamboo to weave into a fence, and surround the bamboo forest in the back mountain first, and after I come back, I will build a chicken shed.

After Wu Sifu sent Zhou Jueming away, he returned to Pingping's place of work and asked her to find a rental house together in the afternoon.

When she came to the restaurant where Pingping worked, Pingping and the waiters had already packed up and went to work at half past four in the afternoon, with two hours of free time in between.

Taking advantage of the short break, the two went to look for a rental house near Zhucheng No. 1 Middle School.

Xiaotian is still more than two months away from the college entrance examination, and now he is renting a house, and the house closer to Zhucheng No. 1 Middle School has already been rented out; Even if there is a vacant room, the owner is reluctant to rent it for a short time.

The two searched and searched, and finally found a private house near the old city at the east gate of the city, a little far from the school. The exterior of the house looks old, but the indoor water, electricity and steam are fully connected, and the cleaning is quite clean and bright.

What's more, there are buses to Zhucheng No. 1 Middle School and the restaurant where Pingping works.

Wu Sifu immediately decided to rent this house, although the price is a little expensive, but the transportation is convenient, the house is bright, and it is quite comfortable to live in.

After paying the deposit, Wu Sifu and Pingping hurriedly went to the restaurant to bring all the daily necessities. Pingping was in a hurry to go back to work in the restaurant, so Wu Sifu had to stay in the room alone to make the bed and clean up.

When Pingping hurriedly went out, she turned around and told Wu Sifu that the boss Wu Ming had paid her last month's salary, which was settled according to the standard of 2,000. I only did it for 20 days, and Wu Ming also gave himself 2,000 yuan, saying that it was overtime during the Spring Festival, and everyone worked hard.

Wu Sifu listened to Pingping's words, thoughtful, but his heart was not good.
