Chapter Twenty-Eight: Chicks
Limited editions always whet people's desire to buy, and don't ask why, I don't know.
The people who were going to buy the chicks all went home to get the sweet potatoes, and the other four people in the Lin Mu family, except for the lazy Lin Mu, (of course, he himself positioned himself as a mental worker) all went home to get the sweet potatoes.
As soon as these people left, the surroundings of the truck instantly relaxed a lot, and Lin Mu rubbed in front of the person who was squatting and selling chicks, and asked, "My name is Lin Mu, what do you call my brother?" β
"Just call me Song Hui."
"Oh~ That's ......" Lin Mu gestured to Song Hui's boss.
"That's our boss, his full name is Xu Zongmao, and we are all called Brother Mao."
After inquiring about the name, Lin Mu had to inquire about something else.
"Dude, where did you come from, little chick? Is there a chicken farm nearby? β
Before the chicken seller could speak, someone from the same village next to him answered.
"You have been going to school outside, I don't know, there are a few chicken farms near our village, but the chicken farms are not closed, and the density of raising is relatively large, and the high temperature comes together, those chicken farms will burn up in an instant, and some will be gone!"
Song Hui smiled and said, "This is indeed the case with chicken farms. β
"And where did you come from?" Lin Mu chased after him.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that these chicks are artificially hatched from the only remaining eggs in the chicken farm, and then hatched by the eggs laid by the chickens that were raised again."
"It's good to have this craft!" Isn't this just chickens laying eggs, eggs laying chickens, endlessly, endlessly! Lin Mu said he wanted to have that skill as well. (System: Can't be arranged)
"Hey, just eat with a mouthful, in order to raise those egg-laying chickens, people didn't dare to eat, until there was a scale, it got better." Who wouldn't cry poor, Song Hui, who is full of sales skills, said that this is all trivial.
The two of them chatted until Mother Lin and they came, and Lin Mu didn't get any more news.
A group of people quickly divided up the chicks in the car, and at least bought six, after all, the temptation to buy five and get one free is too great.
Lin Mu's family bought 24 chicks at once, and Lin's mother planned to go back and keep them in the farthest side house from where everyone lived.
After selling the chicks, the men drove out of their village in a truck.
"Boss, I've made a lot of money this trip, this village seems to be quite rich." Song Hui sat in the back seat of the truck cab, leaned on the backrest of the passenger seat, and said to Xu Zongmao, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"It's not just this village, it's not like they've been hungry." Xu Zongmao said what he observed on the road.
"You say, we have to risk our lives for our hard work, it's better for others to live comfortably, and we can't live our lives!"
"Brother Mao, just now I heard some villagers say that the forest sells food, so that they can live so well." Sitting on the other side, Peng Yue, who had never spoken before, said.
"Woods? Isn't that the young man who just talked to me, what kind of food is he selling? Hearing the words Lin Mu, Song Hui immediately remembered the person who was by the side of the truck before, doing everything possible to make his words.
"They didn't say much about the specifics, as if they were afraid of being heard."
"If it's really like you say that you sell food, if it's me, I don't want others to know, it seems that this village has a lot of secrets."
Xu Zongmao closed his eyes, thinking about the piles and piles along the way, as well as the news reported by Peng Yue just now, and his intuition told him that the times may be changing.
"In the future, I will find out more about the news here!" After saying this, Xu Zongmao stopped talking.
In the dark night, on the spacious road, a large truck ran silently, running farther away.
The village where Lin Mu's house is located is called Taoyuan Village, and there are many peach trees in the village, and peaches are sold.
Taoyuan Village, which used to be lively in the past, has many different voices today, and the "chirping" of chicks in each household.
In the courtyard of Lin Mu's house, the house diagonally opposite the main hall is used by Mother Lin to raise chicks, and the ground of the house is covered with a layer of soil that has just been dug up from the outside and exposed to the sun to keep the chicken nest clean and dry.
A group of chicks huddled pitifully in a corner of the room, and in front of them was a demon looking at them with salivating eyesβLin Mu.
"Alright, come out, you keep staring like this, that little chick is scared."
Mother Lin really couldn't stand Lin Mu's appearance, and urged Lin Mu to get out of the chicken nest.
"Mom, when will these chicks be able to eat?" Lin Mu can't wait.
"At least two or three months." Lin's mother's words told Lin Mu that no matter how much you can't wait, it's useless to raise chicks is not to blow up balloons, it is impossible to buy them today and eat them tomorrow.
Lin Mu instantly wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost, dragged his heavy steps, and rubbed back to the bedroom, counting the time with his hands on the way......
"One, two, three, four, five...... Ten, eleven, hey, isn't that right? Did I count wrong? Count again, one, two, three, four, five...... Ten, eleven, one is missing! β
Lao Li Tou raised twelve chicks at home, and these chicks were specially raised for his daughter and grandson.
However, when I got up this morning to feed the chickens, and after feeding the chickens and counting the chicks as usual, I found that there was one chick missing!
"Old woman, our little chick is missing!" Lao Li Tou shouted.
"What? One missing? Is it hidden somewhere, have you found it? The mother-in-law of the Li family, who was cooking in the house, ran out with a spoon.
"I've looked for it, I've been looking for it everywhere, and I'm really missing one!"
There was one less chicken in the house, which was a big deal for Lao Li and his family, and the two of them didn't eat, so they went out and began to ask the neighbors if they had seen his chickens.
I asked a few families in a row, but they all said that they didn't see it, and one of the families who asked also lost their chicks.
"Your chicks aren't locked up?" A neighbor asked.
"It's closed, it stands to reason that it can't be lost!" Lao Li Tou said that the chicks have been locked in the side room, the door is closed, the key is on the door, and the door is usually not opened for feeding.
"Then this really shouldn't run out on its own, won't it...... Was it stolen? After listening to the words of Lao Li and his wife, some people guessed.
"Oh, it's really possible, we went out to chat on the side of the road when it was dark, and the gate was only closed, not locked!"
A word woke up the dreamer, and Lao Li and his wife regretted not being at the beginning.
"If someone steals it, it probably won't be recovered."
