Chapter 791: Corn Dumplings
"Uncle Zhou, the farm has been going well recently, right?"
Erbao asked casually.
Zhou Hongcheng looked excited: "Everything is fine, the price of meat has risen sharply recently, and our benefits are nearly two or three times higher than in previous months." ”
"That's good." Erbao nodded, and then clarified his intentions: "Uncle Zhou, I want to get a batch of coarse grains, can you help me find a way?" ”
"Whole grains? Uh, your family is short of food? ”
As soon as Zhou Hongcheng finished speaking, he realized that it was impossible.
The prospective in-laws are the richest in the world, and the family has built such a large manor, as well as more than ten acres of glass houses and underground farms, in short, it is impossible for the old Xu family to lack food.
"I asked for my friend, and their family is short of food."
Erbao replied casually.
"How much do you want?" Zhou Hongcheng tried to ask, "If it's less than a thousand catties, I can help you do it now; More than a thousand catties, it may take a few days. ”
"It doesn't take a thousand catties, three hundred catties are enough."
Erbao hurriedly waved his hand.
"No problem, when are you going to ask for it? Do you need me to help you find a pickup truck? ”
Zhou Hongcheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Farms cannot rely entirely on pasture and need to use a portion of concentrate feed, including a portion of coarse grains, mainly corn and soybean meal.
If too much feed is lost at one time, it can seriously affect the daily operation of the farm.
"I'm in a hurry, can I do it now? As for the small truck, there is no need to bother, I drove it myself, just load it and take it away. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it now, you have a cup of tea in the office and wait for me for ten minutes."
"Uncle Zhou, go get busy, don't worry about me."
Erbao nodded.
……
Three hours later, the two returned to the Haiya community again.
Erbao didn't call anyone this time.
He ran twice with Brother Qian, and easily carried four bags of corn to the seventh floor.
In the middle of the encounter, I met some uncles and aunts, and when asked, he explained that the bag was filled with sawdust, after all, nowadays every household cooks almost entirely by briquettes.
Wood chips are specially used for ignition.
This did not raise suspicion.
"Erbao, Master Qian, it's hard work, hurry up and sit down and drink saliva and rest for a while!"
Xie Mu was extremely enthusiastic.
"Auntie, this little bit of life."
As a cadet of the police academy, Erbao's physical fitness is not to be said, coupled with adequate nutrition, he is a leader in the same grade, and has won good rankings in martial arts competitions many times.
Of course, the so-called martial arts competitions are organized by the police academy itself, and the difficulty of the competition is not too high.
Qian Jianwei took a sip of water, and immediately excused himself from worrying about the car below, turned around and left.
Mother Xie took a hundred yuan on the spot and stuffed it.
It's a handling fee.
As soon as Qian Jianwei left on his front foot, Xie Mu couldn't wait to open the bag containing corn.
"The quality of the corn is really good, although there are some small insect eyes, but the problem is not big, how many catties are there here?"
Erbao replied: "Each bag is fifty catties, and the four bags are a total of two hundred catties." ”
"There are so many?"
Mother Xie's heart instantly became hot.
Two hundred catties of corn, even if half of it is divided, the rest plus the previous family background is enough for their family of four to survive for two or three years.
"Auntie, if it's not enough, my dad said, you can also help get another batch of corn back."
Erbao hurriedly added.
Mother Xie had a smile on her face: "Enough is enough, two hundred catties is enough, Auntie didn't expect you to move so fast, I just said it in the morning, and the things will arrive in the afternoon." ”
"It's also a coincidence, my dad just arrived yesterday with a batch of goods, I called him in the afternoon, he didn't say a word, and directly asked me to go to the warehouse to pull the goods."
"Go back and help me say thank you to your dad, how much is this batch of corn?" Auntie will go to the bank to withdraw money now. ”
Xie Mu hurriedly asked.
She had thought of going to the bank in two days to withdraw money.
At that time, if the money is not enough, she may have to borrow some from his uncle, no matter how outrageous the price of this batch of grain is, she will take it anyway.
This is an eternal pain in her heart.
More than 10 years ago, my youngest son was just born.
In order to save some rations, the child's father was reluctant to spend money to buy high-priced food from the black market, and he worked hungry every day.
Since then, she has learned a truth:
Food is life, and life is more important than money.
Erbao smiled and reassured: "Auntie, don't worry, I have already paid the money for you, and it is only 20,000 yuan in total, so I will honor you for Dailin." ”
"What, only 20,000 yuan? So cheap? You kid, you can't be deliberately tricking me, are you? ”
Mother Xie's face was full of disbelief.
At present, on the black market, even the cheapest sweet potatoes cost two or three hundred yuan per catty, and they are often priceless.
Corn can be regarded as refined grain in a sense, and it is not too much to sell it for five or six hundred yuan, and I believe that everyone will break the head.
One hundred pounds, it's simply unheard of.
"There really isn't, the price is one hundred pounds."
Erbao did not deceive.
It is indeed this price that he takes from the farm.
Mother Xie still didn't want to believe it: "Whether it's a hundred or not, Auntie can't let your family suffer." At present, the black market price of corn is at least 500 yuan, and Auntie is cheeky to take advantage of it, so let's just count 100,000 yuan. ”
"Auntie, you really don't need to ......"
Erbao immediately shirked.
"Okay, this matter is settled, I'll go to the bank to withdraw money now, and you wait for me at home for an hour." Xie Mu said with a final word.
Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Erbao hurriedly pulled his girlfriend and wanted the other party to help persuade him.
Xie Dailin grabbed her mother: "Mom, it's past five o'clock now, the bank is about to get off work, and you can't get money if you go, why don't you go again tomorrow morning?" ”
"But you're going back to the police academy today......"
Xie Mu hesitated.
"Just let Erbao leave a bank account, and you can transfer the money to him directly."
"That's a good way." Xie Mu said with satisfaction.
"Auntie, you really don't have to be so troublesome." Erbao shook his head, and then used a delaying tactic: "Anyway, it's going to be a summer vacation in half a month, why don't you wait for me to come back?" ”
Xie Mu thought about it, 100,000 yuan is indeed not a small amount of money, and it is more reassuring to hand over it clearly in person, so she nodded:
"It's okay to wait until you come back, just your dad's?"
"I really paid the money, I have a transfer record, I don't believe you."
Erbao took out his mobile phone.
Xie Dailin immediately frowned: "Don't you have a mobile phone?" Where did this phone come from? ”
"Well, I originally had a mobile phone, but the school didn't allow me to bring it, so I usually have to keep it at home."
Erbao hurriedly explained.
Xie Dailin nodded, didn't say anything more, she took the phone from her boyfriend's hand.
"Baochuan Farm in Sydney? Is this uncle's company? ”
"Small company, less than 10 regular employees."
Erbao said vaguely.
Mother Xie was very curious: "What do you have at home?" ”
"The main thing is to breed edible earthworms, and others are also farmed in small quantities."
Erbao is not a lie.
The farm is not as simple as the dairy farm, the work is relatively simple, except for the eggs, there is almost no output, and there is no comparison with milk.
Later, he simply started the earthworm farming business.
Employees can't be left idle.
"Earthworms? Do you have earthworms for sale? ”
Mother Xie was in good spirits, no matter how you say it, earthworms are also meat, which is much more nutritious than coarse grains, grab a handful and put it in when cooking soup, not to mention how fragrant it is.
Erbao's scalp was numb: "Auntie, our earthworms have only been cultivated for a long time, and they are still larvae, so I'll help you get something else, right?" ”
"Don't bother, it's a big deal to wait a few months, and when the time comes, Auntie will wrap you corn dumplings to eat, and use earthworms to make the filling to ensure that you still want to eat after eating."
Mother Xie couldn't help but look forward to it.
Erbao's stomach churned, and he tried his best to control himself so that he didn't retch.
Are you kidding?
This kind of-eating thing, let alone eating, he doesn't even want to touch it.
