Chapter 18: Xiaobai's thoughts
What made Lan Shengli feel even more unbelievable was still to come.
A few days later, when Lan Dazhuang and Xiaobai circled the free-range chicken farm near the fruit forest, they set up iron rods, tied nylon rope nets, built sheds, and completed the free-range chicken farm.
The chicken farm is next to the orchard, and because the fruit trees are still too small, they are temporarily separated from the chicken farm.
As the tree grows, the range of free-range chickens will also increase.
The chicken farm is there, and the next thing is the chicks raised in the chicken farm.
In this regard, Lan Shu asked Aunt Wang in the village to help collect chicken seedlings a few days ago.
Nowadays, the price of eggs is fifteen dollars a dollar, and the chicks hatched are two cents a piece.
Lan Shu and Aunt Wang agreed that Aunt Wang would ensure that the chicken seedlings were in good condition, and that Aunt Wang would be raised for a few days first, and she would receive three cents a piece at that time.
Almost every household in the village has chickens, this one sells three or five, that one sells seven or eight, and a hundred chicks are easy to receive.
Lan Shu didn't set a line in terms of quantity, and in the end, Aunt Wang helped her collect more than 160 chicks.
A total of 50 yuan was taken, all of which were placed in the free-range chicken farm, stocked during the day every day, and rested in the cage at night.
By the time Lan Shu's aunt passed over this month, the situation on the mountain had been preliminarily built.
There are orchards, and there are chicken farms.
And the more than 3,000 yuan that their brothers and sisters scraped together at the beginning now has more than 1,000 yuan.
Next, there is Lan Dazhuang, whether it is an orchard or a chicken farm, there is no need for Lan Shu to worry about it.
However, seeing that the eldest brother is working so hard, Lan Shu feels that she should also express herself.
So early that morning, she called Xiaobai, "Let's go, come with me to the street to cut a few catties of meat and come back, and cook something delicious for my eldest brother." ”
…
There are several other villages near Tianshui Village, and at the beginning and middle of each month, there will be a two-day market on Xinghuacun Street, three or four kilometers away from Tianshui Village.
This is also a place for villagers to trade after the reform and opening up.
To be precise, it wasn't until this year that the bazaar began to take shape.
The village is not as good as the county seat, and the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county town sell meat every day, but the village supply and marketing cooperatives do not dare to sell pork for a short period of time.
Because it is rare for people in the village to eat meat, it is generally during the New Year's Festival, and whoever kills pigs in the village will buy a little.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who buy meat, and most families are reluctant to spend money on meat.
In the past, although Lan Shu, the original owner, did not eat less meat at home, most of it was bacon dried by her parents during the New Year's holiday.
If you want to eat fresh meat, you can only buy it at the two markets every month.
Walking all the way to the market, Lan Shu was already so tired that she gasped for breath.
This is the result of her insistence on exercising in the past month, otherwise with the original owner being too lazy to move every day, I am afraid that she would not be able to come to this market at all.
On the other hand, Xiaobai, after walking down for three or four kilometers, he didn't breathe, this physique can definitely be called great!
I don't know what Xiaobai used to do? Not only is he good-looking, has a good figure, can cook, and his physique makes ordinary people incomparable.
Lan Shu had heard her eldest brother say that when she was working in the mountains a few days ago, Xiaobai did no less than him.
can be compared with her eldest brother's seemingly natural work ability, Xiaobai definitely has a background!
Thinking about it again, if someone can be deliberately targeted and thrown into the river, Xiaobai's identity is definitely not ordinary.
It's just that those who hurt Xiaobai wouldn't have thought that he was so fatal! It's still alive.
Xiao Bai, who followed to the bazaar, didn't know what Lan Shu was thinking, for the bazaar, he felt that he had never been to a similar place before, so he shouldn't be from the village, so he could only come from the county or the city.
The market here is small and sells very few items, most of which are taken out by villagers from nearby villages.
The two walked along the street, where there were children selling eggs, old ladies selling handmade black shoes, stalls selling candy cubes and fried fruits, and occasionally a few rooster sellers.
As for the hens, of course, they should be kept to lay eggs, and there can be a steady stream of eggs to sell.
Nowadays, every household in the village relies on working in the fields to get centimeters, and they may not be able to eat enough of the grain exchanged for centimeters every year, and of course they will not exchange rations for money, otherwise they will be hungry.
Suddenly, 'Bang! There was a muffled sound, and along with the sound, there was the smell of corn wafting through the air.
"What's that?" Xiaobai frowned.
And Lan Shu was a little surprised in her accident, "There are actually popcorn sellers!" Let's go buy. ”
As she spoke, she grabbed Xiaobai's wrist and ran over there-
Lan Shu hadn't eaten popcorn for a long time, and this kind of thing that existed across the ages made her feel quite kind.
A piece of paper is rolled into a pointed conical tube underneath, filled with popcorn, and a tube costs only two cents.
Lan Shu bought one, paid for it, and immediately pinched a popcorn and put it in her mouth.
This thing is crispy and sweet, and the saccharin taste is very light, just like her taste!
Xiao Bai on the side looked at Lan Shu squinting and smiling happily when she was eating, and Xiao Bai suddenly felt that Sister Lan was like a little girl who hadn't grown up.
There is no maturity and philistine that a woman who has experienced marriage should have, and there is no gloom and indifference of a divorced woman.
He and Sister Lan have known each other for a month, and in Xiaobai's eyes, Sister Lan's impression in his heart has changed I don't know how many times.
From the fat sister who was not good-looking at the beginning, to the perseverance of losing a lot of weight in just half a month, he was impressed.
Immediately after contracting the back mountains of the village, planting orchards, and raising free-range mountain chickens, Sister Lan's ideas and courage are not to mention the men in the village, even in the county, there is probably no man who can compare to her!
It was also at that time that Xiaobai's title for Sister Lan in his heart changed from 'fat sister' to 'Sister Blue'.
He admires someone from the bottom of his heart.
And now, seeing Sister Lan's innocent side, he feels that Sister Lan's little girl's appearance is a little indescribable...... Lovely?
Suddenly, Lan Shu's clear voice came into Xiaobai's ears-
"What's the fuss~ Come and taste it, it's delicious."
She held popcorn in one hand and bumped Xiaobai's arm with her elbow with the other and said,
Xiaobai woke up from his state of distraction, and then, he actually felt like he was being 'caught red-handed'!
In order to cover up his mood, Xiaobai immediately grabbed a handful of popcorn cones from Sister Lan's hand and quickly stuffed them into his mouth-
"Eat slowly, even if it's delicious, you can't eat too much, this thing is on fire!"
Xiao Bai didn't listen to the latter words too much, but fortunately, Lan Shu didn't continue to control him.
After eating a few handfuls of popcorn, the two walked together towards the pork stall in the market.
