331 Collecting eggs
() Early the next morning, Wang Shidong, Fan Zhongyun, and Dajin came over early for breakfast.
Originally, Niu Dali planned to ask Wang Shihu and Wang Shidong to help collect eggs in Xishi Village, but when he went to discuss with Wang Shidong, Dajin and Fan Zhongyun were also there.
Who made it difficult to find prey in Daluo Mountain now, so that Wang Shidong and the three of them have been idle and panicked recently, practicing martial arts in the back mountain.
Fortunately, they earned a lot of money from hunting in the mountains last year, and at the end of the year, they helped the cattle to pickle tea eggs vigorously, and they also got a lot of wages, otherwise they were not idle at the moment, but distressed.
Later, when he heard that he was going to Xishi Village to collect eggs, Wang Shidong agreed without saying a word, and Fan Zhongyun and Dajin also said that they would help him.
Niu Dali felt that it would be easier for multiple people to collect eggs, so he agreed to let Fan Zhongyun and Dajin follow.
But it is not possible to go to too many people, although his ox cart is wider and longer than the average ox cart, but if you sit down with five people, the eggs will not be easy to put away, and you will receive a lot less eggs.
Thinking that Wang Shihu was going to build a house now, he didn't let Wang Shihu go with him.
After breakfast, Niu Dali, Fan Zhongyun, Dajin, and Wang Shidong carried several bamboo baskets to the ox cart, and one of the bamboo baskets was filled with copper coins.
Many ordinary people mainly trade copper coins, and rarely use silver taels in daily life, even if they take out one or two to find money for the people, the people may not be able to take out so many copper coins.
Therefore, when a merchant goes out to collect anything, he pulls baskets of copper coins.
"Let's go!"
Niu vigorously let the eldest girl and the second girl sit beside him, and Wang Shidong and the three of them sat behind him, without him shaking the whip at all, under his order, Rhubarb ran up.
The two girls got along with the Xia family sisters and brothers, and they were also clamoring to see Sister Lin and Sister Lin, so Niu Dali didn't object and let them follow.
The first time he came to Xishi Village, he was not familiar with the road, so it took a lot of time to get to Xishi Village, and this time, Rhubarb ran fast, not only fast, but also very stable.
"Dad, do you see that there are so many people in my uncle's village?" Er Ya pointed to the distance.
Niu Dali looked at it, at this moment, the entrance of Xishi Village was full of villagers, most of these villagers were women and children, holding bamboo baskets in their hands, and they were very excited when they saw them coming.
"Cousin, cousin, cousin!"
Erya's little face was full of excitement, and she beckoned to the three sisters and brothers of the Xia family, Lin Damei, and Lin Xiaomei in the crowd.
The third sister and brother of the Xia family and the eldest sister Lin, Lin Xiaomei was also quite excited, and also waved to the second girl in response.
Fan Zhongyun went to eggs with Wang Shihu last year, and he also came to Xishi Village, so he whispered to remind Niu Dali that standing in front of the villagers, a middle-aged man in a robe about forty years old is the village chief of Xishi Village.
Niu nodded vigorously.
Soon, the ox cart stopped,
The village chief of Xishi Village walked in front of Niu Dali first, "Benefactor, if it weren't for your benefactor's chicken raising recipe, it would be impossible for our village to raise so many chickens?"
Many villagers cast grateful glances, in the past, their Xishi Village was the poorest village, of course, now it is also very poor, but it is much better than before.
Men work outside, women and children raise chickens at home, and they can also earn some money to subsidize the family.
"You're welcome, village chief! This is my mother's village, and I am also half of Xishi Village, so I should help Xishi Village!"
Niu Dali smiled honestly, he said this has another meaning, that is, to tell the villagers of Xishi Village that he helped Xishi Village for the sake of the Xia family's face.
"Dad, let's go play with my cousin first. The eldest girl and the second girl jumped down from the ox cart and said.
The head of Xishi Village looked at the two girls.
Before, he heard from the villagers how the granddaughter of the Xia family looked good-looking and beautiful, like a fairy, he still didn't believe it.
At this moment, he believed.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that these two little people who looked like girls from a rich family would be the honest-looking girl in front of him!
Hungry... How could he not believe it!!
Niu Dali doesn't know what the head of Xishi Village thinks, if he knows, he will definitely not have a good face, who stipulates that the girl should be like a father, like a mother? !
"Go ahead. ”
There are the three sisters and brothers of the Xia family and the eldest sister Lin, and the younger sister Lin takes care of it, and the eldest and second sisters will have nothing to do.
After that, after being polite again, he asked Fan Zhongyun and the three of them to start collecting eggs.
After all, many villagers have been waiting here for a long time, and they can't wait, and if they drag it down, it will be a little inhumane.
Because Wang Shihu, Yang Zi and Fan Zhongyun had come to Xishi Village to collect eggs a few times before, there were some rules, and the villagers still understood them, so they all lined up to sell eggs in an orderly manner.
"This is a tea egg made by my family, it's not worth a few dollars, and the village chief can't see it. ”
Niu Dali picked up the bamboo basket from the ox cart, lifted the white cloth covering the basket, and took out six tea eggs and gave them to the village of Xishi Village.
"Then you're welcome!"
The village chief of Xishi Village has long heard of the good name of spiced tea eggs, but he has never eaten them, and when he heard that this is a spiced tea egg, his mouth is a little greedy.
"Village chief, I still want to visit my grandfather, so I won't tell you more!"
This time I came to Xishi Village not only to collect eggs, but also to raise chickens.
I don't know how my uncle and grandfather discussed.
Do you agree or not?
"It's okay, it's okay, it's worth it for the Xia family to have such a filial grandson as you. ”
After saying goodbye to the head of Xishi Village, Niu Dali explained a few words to Fan Zhongyun, and then went to his grandfather's house.
When he was about to arrive at his grandfather's house, he saw Xia Dongchun, father and son, standing outside the door waiting for him.
Niu Dali was a little surprised, but he quickly thought of something, stepped forward, and said honestly: "Uncle, cousin, why are you outside?"
"I didn't hear that you were here!" Xia Dongchun smiled: "Come in and sit down." ”
Niu nodded vigorously and handed the bamboo basket to Xia Chuanhe, "Cousin, this is a tea egg, it was pickled yesterday, and it tastes just right!"
"Come on, what kind of tea eggs do you bring, you still have to sell these tea eggs for money!" Xia Dongchun said with a solemn face.
"Yes, Dali, we haven't finished eating the tea eggs sent by your family yesterday!" Xia Chuanhe didn't want to take the bamboo basket, but he was still forced by Niu Dali on Xia Chuanhe's hand.
"I brought it, how can I take it back, my family is not short of tea eggs. ”
Xia Chuanhe didn't know whether to accept it or not, and looked at Xia Dongchun, Xia Dongchun sighed and nodded, "With great kindness, let's take it!"
The three of them walked into the yard, and Niu Dali asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what did grandpa say about yesterday?"
Xia Dongchun shook his head, "You still talk to your grandfather about this matter." ”
Niu nodded vigorously.
It is not difficult to see from the uncle's expression that the uncle is tempted, and whether the chicken farm can be completed depends on the grandfather's meaning.
