Chapter 97: Entering the Village to Collect Eggs
Mule "......"
Dad is delicious, mother is delicious, but it's not delicious.
Is this a disguised life-saving?
Gu Lin will finally understand why Lu Yan wants to give her money, people have long known that they can't buy a leg of an animal with that little money.
"Little girl, you go to the man to buy a mule, that mule is a mule for a few months, small is a little smaller but cheaper!"
The old man pointed to an old man diagonally across from him.
Gu Lin and Zhou Laiqian finally bought an underage mule at a price of one hundred yuan less.
At the place where I went out, I spent a few dollars to buy a carriage.
Zhou Laiqian looked at the set of carriages, and Gu Lin turned back inside and bought more than 20 chickens.
These 20 chickens are bigger, counting the little chicks at home, there are more than 30 chickens in total.
If the chickens are in good hands, she will go back and buy them slowly, and then the eggs from the chickens will be enough to deliver to the canteen.
When these chickens don't lay eggs, whether they eat it themselves or sell it, they won't lose money.
On the way back, Zhou Laiqian kept sighing that things in the county were really expensive.
Although mules are expensive, how can they be so outrageously expensive, which is simply impossible in my hometown.
Gu Lin said: "So, that's why I insisted on coming out!" ”
"You think that things in the county town are expensive now, and when you go to the provincial capital in the future, you will feel that the things in the provincial capital are ridiculously expensive!"
"These things are expensive to us because our place depends on the sky for food, and every household can't make money!"
"People farm better land here than we do, and the people who eat public meals have a salary every month, and this thing may not be a problem for them!"
"Don't think about the money already spent, you go slowly, I'll see where there are still things sold around here, I have to buy a few more pairs of dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and I also need a pot!"
"I also want to buy some food and vegetables!"
"I still have to buy a piece of cloth to make a curtain in that house, and I want to buy you another set of clothes!"
Gu Lin thought all the way.
Zhou Laiqian rarely didn't speak, just listened carefully.
When the two of them finished shopping and got home, the sun was about to set.
After unloading the things, Zhou Laiqian temporarily tied the mule to the yard.
After eating the food cooked by Zhou Laiqian, Gu Lin said: "Now follow me to the village to collect eggs, and I will rush to the family courtyard of the coal yard early tomorrow morning!" ”
Gu Lin's action is very strong.
She has motivation, and Zhou Laiqian also has motivation, and when she was shopping, Gu Lin bought a few baskets.
When I went out, I took three baskets, and when I passed by a place where there was straw, I grabbed a lot of straw and put it on the car.
Eggs are fragile products, and they will break if you don't pay attention to them, and when the time comes, the eggs will be collected, and a layer of eggs and a layer of straw will be put away.
If the money is a little slower in the week, the eggs should not be bad.
The roads in the villages near the county seat are also much easier to walk, although they are all dirt roads, but they are much smoother here.
The fields on both sides of the road are already green, and there are fish in the ditches.
The caterpillars of the poplar tree and the caterpillar of the willow tree are blown everywhere by the wind.
Sitting in the car, Gu Lin felt as if he had suddenly returned to his childhood.
This road leads directly to a village, and before I reached the entrance of the village, I saw the people of the village gathering together in twos and threes.
Some talked, and some ate with bowls.
And the one who squatted on the wall, chatting while eating.
When everyone saw the faces in the village, they couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Gu Lin jumped out of the car and walked to several middle-aged women wearing headscarves of various colors gathered under the big willow tree.
"Auntie, do you all have eggs to sell at home?"
In order to blend in with the people here, Gu Lin deliberately put on a headscarf when she went out, and she put on a peach-pink headscarf in order to make herself look a little better.
The young girl was going to collect the eggs, and everyone was happy.
Someone smiled and asked, "Yes, yes, what price are you?" ”
"Auntie, I came into the village to collect it, the price must be cheaper than that in the county seat, I see that your crops here are good, everyone must worry about the crops a little more!"
"Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the eggs will go bad after a few more days, I just want to make some hard-earned money!
"The price of eggs in the county has been unstable in the past two days, sometimes one dollar a catty, sometimes one two pounds a piece."
Another person frowned when he heard this: "No, I went to the county seat yesterday to pay back two pounds of eggs!" ”
Gu Lin said with a smile: "You also said that it was yesterday, today may be a piece of one, and tomorrow it will be a dollar!" ”
"The price of eggs changes every day, and I'm sure you know it, so it's better to sell it to me than to leave it at home and spoil it!"
"If you can make money, I can make money!"
What Gu Lin said was the truth.
In these years, who doesn't raise a dozen or twenty chickens that lay eggs, the family, the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and matches at home all rely on eggs.
When it's hot, just let go of the chicken, and the chicken can eat it by itself.
You don't need to be fed, you don't have to worry about it, you can save more if you raise more, and you can save less if you raise less.
Except for what you eat at home, basically every household has some excess.
When it's cold, chickens are slow to lay eggs, and they may only sell eggs a few times a month.
It's hot, and everyone is busy planting crops, and when I think about it, the eggs are always bad.
And the price given by this little girl is not bad.
Some people are already tempted, and some people ask, "Then why do you give money?" ”
Gu Lin took out a stack of Mao tickets directly from his pocket.
"Wait, let's go home and get the eggs!"
Soon, the news of Gu Lin collecting eggs spread throughout the village, and the sound of her collecting eggs opened up.
There were too many people who wanted to sell eggs, and Gu Lin didn't want it after receiving thirty-two catties.
The man who sold took the money, and the corners of his happy mouth grinned to the root of his ears.
Those who came late and didn't sell it, hung their faces and sighed.
Gu Lin asked Zhou Laiqian to carefully put the eggs in the back basket, and she said to the people who hadn't left yet: "Grandparents, uncles and aunts, I come to the village to collect eggs almost every afternoon!" ”
"If you want to sell, wait for me here! Whoever has duck eggs and goose eggs at home, I also want them! ”
Everyone was very happy to hear Gu Lin's words.
Gu Lin can receive it regularly, which means that everyone can have a fixed income without leaving the village.
This girl asks for more than 30 catties of eggs a day, less than 200, more than 300.
Everyone also has to eat some at home, and a family can save more than 30 at most.
That is to say, this girl can collect eggs from ten families at a time, and there are more than 100 families in the village.
If you don't get it today, you can collect it tomorrow, and you can take turns in circles.
After harvesting the eggs, it was already dark, and Gu Lin saw that there was a commissary at the entrance of the village, so he asked Zhou to buy two bottles of soda.
At this time, the soda was all in glass bottles, and the bottle of the soda could still be sold for money after drinking.
It was the first time for Zhou Lai Qian to drink soda when he was so big.
Gu Lin just wanted to remind this kid not to break his teeth, Zhou Laiqian had already bitten the cap open.
