4 people sat down around a square table, Cao Shujie took out two bottles of blue and white Fen wine, Cao Jianhua knew that this wine was not cheap as soon as he looked at the packaging, but Cao Shuchao, who had little knowledge, really couldn't see why.

Unscrewed the cap, Cao Shujie poured wine glasses for his father, Cao Jianhua and Cao Shuchao, and finally poured himself a glass.

"Uncle Hua, Brother Chao, how about you taste this wine." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

Cao Jianhua also asked him how much is a bottle of this wine?

Cao Shujie smiled: "It's not very expensive, I bought it for my dad when I was working in the capital two years ago, and I haven't drunk it, and it should taste good now." ”

"More than 200 yuan a bottle, right?" Cao Jianhua asked.

He runs a supermarket, so he has a vague idea of what price the wine is?

Cao Shujie just laughed and didn't say much, but Cao Jianhua knew that he was very likely to guess correctly.

In my heart, I have a different opinion of Cao Shujie.

Cao Jianguo pointed to the dishes on the table and said: "Brother Jianhua, Shuchao, you eat more, eat some vegetables to cushion your stomach first, and it is easy to drink your stomach if you drink directly." ”

What he said was true, 4 people moved their chopsticks, each with a chopstick and stuffed their favorite dishes into their mouths.

Half of the dishes on this table were brought by Cao Jianhua.

There was wine, and after drinking a glass, the atmosphere was in place, Cao Jianhua hesitated in his heart for a while, and then said: "Brother Jianguo, Shujie, I won't tell you, I've been very unsteady recently, and I haven't been able to sleep well." ”

Cao Jianguo has also talked to his son about the market price of pigs and piglets in the past two days, but he doesn't seem to know anything.

Hearing Cao Jianhua's bitter tears, Cao Jianguo felt inexplicable in his heart, he held a wine glass and said: "Brother Jianhua, don't think about anything tonight, let's have a drink." ”

"Brother Jianguo, drink!" Cao Jianhua then picked up the wine glass, touched it with Cao Jianguo, and then drank it all while holding the wine glass.

It's more like he's very depressed in his heart, drinking and getting drunk.

Cao Shujie shook his head at his father and motioned to drink less.

In Cao Jianhua's current state, he is actually not suitable for drinking and is prone to accidents.

Fortunately, Cao Jianhua's amount of wine and wine were good, and he was not put down by two glasses of wine.

He put the wine glass down, picked up the tea cup and poured half a cup.

Cao Shuchao couldn't drink enough, so he was in charge of chores, holding a thermos next to him and pouring water for the other three people in time.

There is a word called bittersweet memory, before Cao Jianhua engaged in breeding, his family had hundreds of thousands of savings, which is definitely a count in Caojiazhuang.

Coupled with his comprehensive supermarket, which has been generating income for him, he should have been the most enviable family in Caojiazhuang.

But since the start of breeding, Cao Jianhua's family has undergone earth-shaking changes, the good days of the past are gone, and now he is exhausted, at this moment, he has only two words in his heart: "regret." ”

At that time, I really should have listened to the advice not to get involved in an unfamiliar industry, thinking that I was very capable, but in the end I found out that it was nothing.

Looking at the eyes a little confused, Cao Jianhua picked up the wine glass again, and gestured to Cao Shujie, Cao Jianguo, and Cao Shuchao with the wine glass: "Brother Jianguo, let's drink another one." ”

"Brother Jianhua, drink slowly, there is still wine, let's talk first, drink some tea, eat something, don't have an empty stomach." Cao Jianguo persuaded him.

Cao Jianhua also listened to the persuasion, and after putting down the wine glass, he sighed.

Cao Shujie always had a question in his heart, he asked: "Uncle Hua, I haven't figured it out, your supermarket is running so well, why do you suddenly want to do farming." ”

This doesn't make sense.

Hearing Cao Shujie's inquiry, Cao Jianhua sighed and said: "This thing is to blame for my soft ears, I heard Cao Jianyou's bear goods say that he built a pigsty over there, and was ready to raise pigs in large quantities, I thought that breeding is easy, plus pig prices have indeed been rising since this year, and I have a little spare money in my hands, so I want to invest and make more money, who knows that after coming in, I found out that this is a pit!" ”

But investment is your own business, and Cao Jianyou can't be blamed for this.

Cao Shujie frowned when he heard this, and he asked, "Uncle Hua, ......what is this Cao Jianyou you are talking about?"

"He's the one who worked for you with Uncle Zhenggang." Cao Jianhua said.

Cao Shujie finally figured it out, it turned out to be like this, and then he felt that this matter made people feel crying and laughing.

Cao Jianhua actually invested hundreds of thousands of dollars just by hearing a few words from others, what did he think at the time?

Thinking of this, Cao Shujie asked him: "Uncle Hua, you were going to engage in pig breeding at that time, and you didn't do market research?" ”

"Market research?" Cao Jianhua nodded: "I know, pork is usually sold in supermarkets, and I also went to the market to inquire, and the price of live pigs has been rising since last year, and it has been rising for a long time." ”

Hearing his explanation of 'market research', Cao Shujie felt a sense of powerlessness, with such an attitude, can he really make money in an unfamiliar industry?

Thinking of this, he was very curious about the supermarket that Cao Jianhua had run for so many years, and he couldn't sit still with him like this.

Then he asked: "Uncle Hua, have you ever encountered a bad time in the years you have been working in the supermarket?" ”

"When things don't go well?" Cao Jianhua didn't even think about it, so he nodded and said, "If you want to talk about this, you can't finish it for three days and three nights." ”

He said: "When I first started working in a supermarket, it was very unsuccessful and suffered a lot of losses. ”

As he spoke, he asked Cao Shujie: "Shujie, you know, the old and old things can't be sold, in order to buy a little new things, I rode a motorcycle to run seventy or eighty kilometers to the Qingyin County wholesale market on the other side of the Yellow River to buy goods, and sometimes I rode a motorcycle to Pingyuan County to buy goods in winter, and the road at that time was much more difficult to walk than now." ”

"But don't say it, the new things that I got back from the wholesale market in Qingyin County and Pingyuan County are better than the goods purchased in Qingshi Town, and the profits are also higher." Cao Jianhua remembered that when he was young, every day felt like yesterday.

Cao Shujie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say this: "Uncle Hua, look, you have been through so much before, and you haven't survived it, I think it's okay for you this time." ”

"Huh!" Cao Jianhua laughed, he said: "Shujie, you don't have to comfort me, in fact, I know in my heart that since this price has fallen, it will definitely fall, and it may fall below 30 yuan a kilogram next month, as for the rest, I don't want to, these 300 pigs will continue to be raised, no matter what, I plan to find a good price to sell on the eve of the Spring Festival, and I can protect the capital when the time comes." ”

After drinking until nine o'clock in the evening, Mengmeng was so sleepy that she went to sleep, Cao Jianhua was also a little unstable, and Wang Yuelan also said to his son: "Shujie, you go and send your Uncle Hua." ”

"Well, Mom, you don't have to worry about it, I'll definitely send it home." Cao Shujie said.

His father, Cao Jianguo, also went to sleep.

Cao Shuchao also said: "Shujie, or I'll send it." ”

"I'm fine, Brother Chao, you better go home, my aunt still needs someone to take care of her." Cao Shujie and Cao Jianhua, who was trembling when he walked, were about to go out.

Who knew that before they went out, Daha and Erha called out, and Cao Shujie turned his head to look at them: "You want to go out for a walk?" ”

"Oh woo!" Daha's voice immediately became quieter, and he shook the dog's head, as if he really understood what Cao Shujie said.

Wang Yuelan didn't know what to say: "Shujie, in the middle of the night, where are you going to walk the dog, tomorrow morning." ”

But who knew that Daha and Erha were not happy, they continued to bark, and they also pulled the dog leash and ran back and forth, as if they were uncomfortable as soon as they calmed down.

When Cao Shujie saw them like this, he hurriedly said to his mother Wang Yuelan: "Mom, you go and help me get a flashlight, after I send Uncle Hua down, take them to the orchard for a while and come back." ”

"Oh, Daha and Erha are really sad." Wang Yuelan angrily wanted to kick them twice.

But there was no way, Cao Shujie took Daha and Erha and accompanied Cao Jianhua out.

Before they went out, the two German pastors also called 'oh oh'.

Wang Yuelan complained: "You can take it away." ”

"Hehe, you four dogs are really going to find me a job." Cao Shujie scolded and scolded, but the action of untying the dog leash was not slow, he led the four dogs out and went north with Cao Jianhua.

At this point in time, the street lights in Caojiazhuang were still on, and several people gathered together on the street to chat.

Seeing Cao Shujie leading four dogs, walking with Cao Jianhua, and smelling the smell of tobacco and alcohol on the two of them, they knew that the two must have been drinking together.

When they saw the two of them and the four dogs walking far north, several people pointed to their backs and chatted.

"What do you say about Cao Jianhua and Cao Shujie?"

"Who knows, let's not care about other people, let's think about doing something to make a fortune."

"That's all you can do, look at other people, they are all big deals, and they invest hundreds of thousands of dollars at every turn, not to mention that they make money!"

"That's right, first of all, you have to be bold, how can we be like us, we have to think about spending a few thousand dollars for a long time, what can we do?"

Cao Shujie didn't know how they were discussing later, and Cao Jianhua came all the way to his door, watching Cao Jianhua swaying into the house, Cao Shujie led the four dogs and continued to walk north.

He was going to go around the orchard in the mountains, and by the way he would see how the calves were eating, and if he would like to add another supper to them.

Next year, we can count on the sale of these cows and freshly planted strawberries.

After coming up, Cao Shujie felt a gust of swishing cold wind blowing, he was still a little drunk, but now he was blown by the cold wind, and he was sober.

After opening the door and leading the dog in, Cao Shujie locked the gate on the barbed wire fence and turned on the lights in the orchard.

When the four dogs came here, they barked wildly, and at home, they were suffocated.

Seeing them like this, Cao Shujie smiled, let go of the dog leash, and said to them: "Run, don't break the fruit tree saplings for me, or I will break your dog's legs." ”

Hearing Cao Shujie say this, the four dogs were startled, and they had to look at the surrounding fruit tree saplings when they ran forward, for fear that they would be damaged by accident, and they would have to pay for their dogs' lives when the time came.

Cao Shujie walked towards the calf, and when he got to the front and back, he saw that the calf in the bright light stood up in a little panic.

But after seeing Cao Shujie, they then lay on the ground again and did not move.

Cao Shujie also felt very funny when he saw this scene, he pointed to the cows and shouted: "If you still eat grass or not, you should hurry up and grow meat." ”

"Oh woo!"

Cao Shujie was about to go in and sprinkle some grass on them, when he heard a sudden call from Daha in the distance.

Cao Shujie was wondering, and then he heard the barking of three other dogs, one after the other, and he wondered what he had discovered?

Thinking in his heart, Cao Shujie quickly trotted towards the four dogs, and when he got closer, he found that they were surrounding a puppy and were scaring it.

The dog looked dirty and particularly ugly

He turned his head to look around, but he couldn't see anything wrong.

A question haunted his head, how did this puppy get in?

Looking at the soil on the puppy's body again, a thought suddenly flashed in Cao Shujie's mind: "Could it be that it got in by picking up the soil on the ground?" ”

Thinking of this result, Cao Shujie was a little uneasy, is this a big hole in the orchard?

He said to Daha, "Daha, where did it come from?" ”

I didn't have hope, but who knew that Daha really went to ask.

"Oh woo!"

Daha barked and then communicated with the puppy.

Not to mention, this trick is very effective, after the two dogs, one big and one small, stopped squeaking, the puppy covered in dirt turned around and took them in one direction.

Cao Shujie glanced at it, there was an old orchard over there, and Cao Shujie's heart throbbed.

He thought to himself, "Could it be that I didn't make up for it last time and let the dog get rid of it?" ”

But that's not right.

That time, Cao Jianqiu and Cao Shubao and their uncle and nephew blatantly came in to steal kiwifruit and were ready to sell it at a high price, but Cao Shujie's orchard now has no fruit, what else can he steal?

When he arrived at the barbed wire fence, Cao Shujie realized that he had guessed correctly just now, and the puppy really dug a pit from under the barbed wire fence.

It is small in itself, and with a little space between the barbed wire fence and the ground, it is really no problem to drill through it with the size of a puppy.

That's okay.

Cao Shujie walked over, backfilled the soil with his feet, and saw this dirty little soil dog, Cao Shujie began to think again, where did it come from?

After thinking about it, I didn't remember who in the village had such a puppy.

"What breed is this?" Cao Shujie simply didn't think about it first, he stretched out his hand to the puppy, and wanted to take it back, who knew that this puppy was afraid of life, it snuggled up next to Daha and Erha, and actually avoided Cao Shujie.

This makes Cao Shujie find it interesting, this dirty-looking puppy is really interesting.

Good night
