Chapter 25: The Great Collection of Thunder Chong
Lei Chong Daji is located in the small town of Shan Kou at the junction of the three provinces - Lei Chong Town, is the most famous big market, especially prosperous in a specific period.
Because the county where Tianji is located was divided into land that was only completed this year, the cattle that were originally used as the public property of the brigade were taken away by each family according to their shares, and they all attached great importance to it, and they were not willing to sell it at all.
And the peddlers and pawns of Lei Chong Daji come from various regions, and the situation is different, not to mention cattle and sheep, even horses, donkeys and mules, which can also be seen everywhere.
"Every fifteenth day of the new year, it is a large set of Lei Chong's big set, if you want to buy good things, you can pick that time, just buy a buffalo, you don't have to think so much, there are people in Lei Chong every morning, but baby, if you want to buy a cow, you have to take your family to go, otherwise you will be blinded, and you won't be able to live the day of buying a plague cow."
Luo Xueyun smiled and handed the old man a cigarette to express his gratitude.
Lei Chong Daji is a little far from Huanggang, not to mention more, there is definitely a fifty-mile road.
He didn't say anything about buying cattle, he sent a few hundred catties of vegetables to Xin Gui on Saturday, and drove a tractor to Lei Chong Town on Sunday.
Far away from Lei Chong Daji, Luo Xueyun put the tractor into the storage space and went to Daji empty-handed.
The working people are very simple, and if they call something big, it is either high status and heavy meaning, or it is very big in the literal sense.
Lei Chong Daji seems to be the latter.
It is formed around a large temple, and it is estimated that dozens of acres of land have been trampled very flat, and the customers and vendors and goods who come and go gather together, it is really full of people.
Luo Xueyun saw that everyone was numb, he never thought that there could be so many flowers in the rural markets in this year, with a dazzling array of goods, fragrant fragrances, and rumbling voices, which made his whole person float.
"Roasted sweet potatoes."
"Sugar gourd."
"Candy Man."
"Hu spicy soup."
……
The shouting sound seemed to be magical, drilling into Luo Xueyun's ears, and what surprised him the most was that there was actually a tongue shouting inside, selling seedless raisins.
"Interesting."
Luo Xueyun probably forgot what he was doing, wandering around beautifully, seeing things he liked, no matter what he ate or drank, as long as the price was not high, he would take it.
It's rare to have a big set, how can you not have fun?
"Hey, this is ......"
Luo Xueyun walked to a bookshelf, and the fiery red cover immediately caught his attention, which was the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", one of the three major classics that was widely passed down in later generations.
Turning the title page, it is the famous quote of the instructor: Put the focus of medical and health work in the rural areas.
He was a little excited, and hurriedly asked: "Boss, is there a "Militia Training Manual" and a "Friend of Military and Civilian Talents"?" ”
The owner of the bookstall was a young man, squinting his eyes when he heard this, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of militia training manuals, if you want them, I will bring them to you in the next market, what friends are in the military and land, but I have never heard of it." ”
Luo Xueyun didn't know that this book had not been published yet, and he was very sorry to hear that the boss had not done so, and looked around the bookshelf, most of them were literary works whose names he had never heard of, and only a few classics like "Home", "The Scream", "Dream of Red Mansions", and "The Siege of the City", which were like thunder.
"How much does this book cost?"
He asked, holding up the barefoot doctor's manual.
The boss laughed and said, "Three pieces." ”
"Friend, this is boring, there is a piece of eight written in it, you are not brand new, dare to ask for such a price?"
"Ten years ago, it was an eight, but now it has to go up a little bit."
Luo Xueyun also calmed down, put down the manual, and said with a smile: "You just look at me at a glance and temporarily raise the price, if Lei Chong Daji is only one family, I can't say that I will be the boss of this wrong." ”
Seeing Luo Xueyun get up and want to leave, the boss hurriedly said: "If you can talk, you can talk, a piece of eight is a piece of eight." ”
"Huh."
"A piece for you."
"One dollar, give me these copies too."
The boss was shocked: "Buy five copies for one dollar? ”
"I'm too expensive." Luo Xueyun pouted.
"To you." The boss waved his hand again and again, making a helpless look.
didn't wait for Luo Xueyun to take a few steps, he heard someone chatting with the boss, vaguely sounding like something, anyway, it was all from the team, selling a dime to make a dime, why bother mentioning such a high price.
The boss said that the price was high, and the business was easy to achieve, but if it was too low, he would keep lowering the price.
I'll go, Luo Xueyun is angry, he has seen so many routines, but he can't avoid a small compromise.
Walking around, we came to the cattle sales area, where in the field, the sellers were dressed differently, but there was one similarity, everyone held the reins tightly, as if they were afraid that the animals would leave their hands.
Among them, there are many sheep, bleating, very delicious at a glance, and the buffalo is much calmer when they look at it, each one is very tall, dark black, curved horns, big ears, and flat face looking up at people, giving Luo Xueyun a simple and honest feeling.
"Baby, what about Xiangniu, don't just look at it, come and take a look at the teeth."
The uncle with the cigarette stick greeted Luo Xueyun warmly, and even took the initiative to break the cow's mouth to Luo Xueyun to see, he was a little embarrassed, because he really didn't understand these things, but after refining and refining the qi, he could feel the strength of the animal's life essence.
He pretended to put his hand on the cow's back, nodded seriously, and said, "Very strong, a good cow." ”
The old man laughed, and the ashes flew: "Baby, if you want to match, just give this number." ”
As he spoke, he held out four fingers.
It's expensive.
Luo Xueyun suddenly had a thought in his heart.
Now the free market is not perfect, and many times it depends on the negotiation between buyers and sellers, so understanding or not has always been a necessary condition for business, he just walked in the bookstall once, and he had to be cautious, how could Saint Seiya fall twice in the same place?
Last year, the average annual income of peasants in the province was only 240 yuan, and the more remote the area, the more they were in the ranks of being averaged, and even if the ploughing cattle were very important family property, the price of buying one for a few years was definitely debatable.
For Luo Xueyun himself, the price of 400 yuan is to sell thousands of catties of cabbage, can you take it slowly.
"Uncle, I'll go shopping again."
The old man did not stay.
After walking around the livestock area, I roughly asked a few uncles and uncles who sold cattle, the price was not lower than three hundred and eight, and I paid a little attention to observe, these people made frequent eye contact, with Luo Xueyun's unpredictable smile, it seemed that they were deceiving themselves with a tender face, thinking that he didn't know how to do it, so he deliberately raised his mouth.
"Young baby, my cow is cheap, only two hundred and five."
The old man who spoke looked very distinctive, according to the words in the novel, he looked strange, and at this time he was holding the cow and warmly greeted Luo Xueyun.
His cow is very big, but his eyes are drooping, his breath is uneven, and he is skinny, Luo Xueyun doesn't need to take a hand to know that it is a sick cow.
As soon as I moved, I was going to scold, the old man really fooled me, but when I thought about it, this cow was tall and strong, and I thought that it was originally a good cow, but it was only getting thinner and thinner when I was sick, and I had to plug in the market.
Cattle are also mammals, and there are only a few common diseases, either they are overworked, tired without timely rest, or they are not well raised, and there are some parasites.
His spiritual liquid collects the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which can regulate health and recuperation, strengthen vitality, and is like a jade liquid for people and cows, which is far better than bitter medicine.
Luo Xueyun figured it out, pretended to be timid and didn't understand, and said, "Uncle, your cow is so thin, not as strong as the cow in our brigade." ”
The old man hurriedly said: "Don't look at the lack of meat, but the strong ones are very strong, and they may work." ”
Luo Xueyun reached into his pocket and grabbed a handful of money: "But I only have one hundred and seventy yuan." ”
The old man cried: "Add a little more, and you will take it away for two hundred and three." ”
After a few pulls, Luo Xueyun patted his head, pretended to take out twenty yuan from his shoes and socks, and bought the sick cow for one hundred and ninety yuan.
Looking at the old man's happy appearance, he was quite satisfied.
Of course, Luo Xueyun is also quite satisfied.
In addition to the bazaar, he fed sick cows with water mixed with spiritual liquid, and gave him the common name "Big Black Cow." ”
After drinking the spiritual water and walking slowly for a few miles, the sick cow was in much better condition, and his breathing became smoother.
Luo Xueyun put the tractor next to the soil slope, pulled the big black cow into the car body with the help of the slope, fixed it with a rope, covered it with straw, and drove towards Huanggang leisurely......
