Chapter 418 - Buying Poultry
Finally, when the procession of performers passed, the streets were immediately blocked by passers-by and tourists.
Although Lu Yao said that he came to see the temple fair, in fact, he still had his own purpose, that is, he wanted to buy some poultry cubs such as chickens, ducks and geese while the temple fair was in the market.
If it weren't for this, Lu Yao wouldn't have had to let Lin Songsheng drive a small truck, you must know that Lu Yao's company has a seven-seater business vehicle in addition to a truck, which can fit so many people.
Lu Yao had also participated in temple fairs before, and knew that many farmers would take the opportunity to set up stalls, he had seen with his own eyes that there were chicks sold, and today he also wanted to try his luck.
If there are really no local chickens, ducks and geese for sale, then Lu Yao will have to consider going to the merchant's farm to buy them.
The cubs hatched from the farm are naturally not as healthy as the chicks hatched by farmers with native eggs, and the breed is more uncontrollable.
Lu Yao consciously turned in the direction of the farmer's market, and really let him find a few merchants selling chickens, ducklings and geese.
He walked up to an old farmer in his sixties with a weathered face, squatted down to look at the bamboo basket containing a small newborn chick full of yellow fluffy chicks, and held one in his hand and looked at it carefully in the palm of his hand.
Then Lu Yao put down the chicks, looked up and asked, "This uncle, how do you sell these chicks?"
The old man showed a wrinkled smile and said enthusiastically: "This little brother, these chickens of mine are the best local free-range chickens, and they usually eat insects and grass seeds in the grass, and occasionally feed some pure grain feed, all of them are very strong." ”
Lu Yao didn't speak, when he grabbed a chick just now, he sensed it with his divine sense, and found that the vitality of these chicks was really healthy, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the price.
"Uncle, it's one thing whether it's good or not, but I have to look at the price whether I buy it or not? You have to give me a sincere price, because I buy a lot of money. ”
The smile on the uncle's face was even worse, and he waved his hand again and again: "Listening to your accent, little brother, it should also be our local, right?"
Lu Yao nodded and said, "I'm from Xiasha Village." ”
The old man gave a thumbs up and said, "Your Xiasha Village has developed well recently, and several villages near us are envious." Since they are all from the same town, I won't cheat you, the price of these chicks is four yuan a piece. ”
Lu Yao thought about it, now the price of native eggs in the market has reached one dollar, this chick cub from hatching to birth, and it is now so big, and it usually has to feed a lot of food, this price is not bad.
"Uncle, I bought a lot of quantity, how many of you I have all-inclusive, can this price be less?"
The old man was shocked and said, "Little brother, don't you look at the fact that there are only more than 60 in my cage, but there are more than 200 in my house, are you sure you can eat them all?"
Lu Yao said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, my sister's family has opened a fisherman's restaurant, although it usually focuses on seafood, but the daily demand for this chicken is also a lot." ”
Lu Yao bought these poultry and livestock, he never worried that he would buy too much, his homestay was about to open, plus the eldest sister's Yujiale Hotel, more than two hundred chickens seemed to be nothing.
The uncle was overjoyed and said, "If you want it, little brother, I can give you another five cents cheaper, and I will deal with all the three yuan and five for you, how about it?"
Lu Yao saw that the old man had lowered his five cents so happily, and he didn't bother to continue to bargain, so he had to let others make a little money.
He slapped his face, stood up and said, "Okay, then it's settled." But uncle, can you wait for me, I have to buy some more duck and goose seedlings. ”
When Lu Yao was talking about business with the old man just now, he was envious of the farmers who sold duck seedlings and goose seedlings next to him, and it was really rare to meet such a big customer who didn't care about anything.
Now as soon as he heard that he was going to buy duck seedlings and goose seedlings, they immediately surrounded him and sold to Lu Yao: "This brother, come and see my duck seedlings, the quality is guaranteed, and the price is not expensive." ”
"Yes, little brother, look at my goose seedlings, they are strong and very edible, and when they grow up, they will still be good at taking care of the family. ”
An aunt who sells goose seedlings even grabbed a goose cub and put it in Lu Yao's hand for him to see.
Facing the emotional crowd, Lu Yao showed a wry smile, he put the goose cub back into the aunt's hand, and said loudly: "Don't worry, come one by one, if it's good, I will definitely buy it." ”
As he spoke, he said to the aunt who sold goose seedlings: "Sister-in-law, you come first, what kind of goose seedlings are you and how do you sell them?"
When the aunt saw Lu Yao ask her first, she said happily: "Big brother, there are not many varieties of goose seedlings in my family, just two, one is a lion-headed goose, and the other is a local goose, of which the price of a lion-headed goose is eight yuan each, and the price of a local goose is five yuan." ”
Lu Yao nodded noncommittally and continued to ask, "How many are there?"
The aunt quickly replied: "There are not many lion-headed geese, only more than fifty, and there are one hundred and sixty ordinary earth geese, how many do you want?"
Lu Yao said: "If the price can be cheaper, I will also ask for it all." ”
The aunt thought for a while and said, "Why don't I give you five cents cheaper, right?" No matter how cheap it is, I will lose money, the price of this lion-headed goose is not low, and I also wholesale it from somewhere else, big brother, you can't let me pay the road fare, right?"
Since everyone else said so, Lu Yao was embarrassed to continue to press to death, not to mention that he didn't care too much about the cheap few cents, so he simply said neatly: "Okay, then I want it." ”
The man who sold duck seedlings saw Lu Yao's bargaining, and he said: "Brother, I won't go to ink with you, I have a total of several varieties of muscovy duck and hemp duck here." ”
"There are two hundred in total, and four yuan a wholesale will be given to you, not to mention this price in our town, even if you can't find it anywhere else. I don't plan to continue raising ducks, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to sell them like this. ”
Lu Yao didn't say much, and said directly: "That's okay, then I want all of your chicken seedlings, duck seedlings and goose seedlings, do you pay by Alipay transfer or cash?"
The three of them hesitated, and the eldest aunt spoke first: "Big brother, let's use cash, we are not used to using Alipay for the time being." ”
Lu Yao nodded and said, "Okay, then you guys bring the others over first, I'll go to the ATM to get some cash, and we'll meet here in a while." ”
The market between them was not too far away, and after an appointment to meet an hour later, Lu Yao turned around and went to find Lin Songsheng.
