Not long after, Zhao Guiju ran over again and handed a brand-new cotton winter coat to Luo Baolin: "Uncle Baolin, you can bring this dress back to Jingzhi." I heard that Jingzhi didn't even have a cotton coat in winter. I can't stand her as a mother. ”

"You buy clothes for Jingzhi, do you know the man now? Don't cause anything at that time. Luo Baolin said with some concern.

"This money is the private money I have saved, and my man doesn't know it. Uncle Paulin, don't worry. When the time comes, give this dress to Aunt Jingzhi and ask her aunt to give it to Jingzhi. Otherwise, I'm worried about my sister-in-law's trouble. Zhao Guiju advised.

"Guiju!" a man called out in the distance.

Hearing this voice, Zhao Guiju's face changed, and she hurriedly stuffed the things into Luo Baolin's hand, "Uncle Baolin, put it away quickly." Don't let him see it. ”

Luo Baolin hurriedly stuffed his clothes into a bamboo basket and covered them with a snakeskin bag.

The man walked over: "Gui Ju, what are you doing here? Where does the family have the money to buy chickens? You pig lady is too good." ”

The man Zhao Guiju glanced at Luo Baolin's ancestor and grandson vigilantly.

"I met an acquaintance in my mother's village. Zhao Guiju said.

"I see. Why don't I recognize it?" Zhao Guiju glanced at Luo Baolin suspiciously.

"There are so many people in our village, do you know them all? Uncle Paulin is not from the same yard. Zhao Guiju said calmly.

"I'll just ask casually, Uncle Paulin, we still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Zhao Guiju's man pulled Zhao Guiju and hurriedly walked away.

"Grandpa, why didn't Aunt Gui Ju take Jingzhi over? Luo Tianwang asked puzzled.

"What do you know? Your Aunt Gui Ju is not having a good time now. Tianwang, after I go back today, I can't talk to anyone. This dress was bought for her by Aunt Jingzhi. Remember?" Luo Baolin hurriedly admonished.

"I'll go back and tell someone. No one in the village spoke to me. Luo Tianwang said with a smile.

Luo Baolin also sighed repeatedly, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Why don't you have one?

During the Chinese New Year, people come and go on the streets, but things are not easy to sell. There are many people who watch, but they are all holding on to the money and refusing to sell. The dealers are desperate to keep prices down.

"I want all these chickens, but they have to be cheaper for a dollar a pound. A dealer walked over and said after looking at a few chickens in Luo Baolin's house.

The chickens have bright coats and cocoons on their feet, which are obviously not the kind of chickens that are fed with feed. Moreover, this chicken is very robust, and the meat is tightly packed, and the taste is much better than that of ordinary chickens. This is something that only connoisseurs can see. The average street fighter doesn't understand the truth at all.

"No, I'm not feeding chickens. I don't sell it for a penny less. This chicken has been fed for more than a year and has eaten how much grain I have. It's already very cheap to sell at this price. Luo Baolin shook his head.

Seeing that he couldn't take advantage, the dealer got up and left, thinking to test Luo Baolin's attitude. Who knew that Luo Baolin didn't care at all.

"This uncle, the weather is so cold, why should you bother? If you sell the chicken early, you can take your grandson to do New Year's goods. In this way, I add another five cents. "The traffickers want to make a little more money.

Luo Baolin still shook his head, "That's the price." One point less, I don't sell. ”

Just when the dealer hesitated and wanted to continue to lower the price, a well-dressed middle-aged man walked over, didn't mind the mud of the street and the smell of the chicken coop, and squatted down next to the chicken coop: "This chicken is good, it's an authentic local chicken." How to sell?"

"Nine dollars a pound. Luo Tianwang said.

"Okay. I bought them all. But can you sell me this chicken coop? I can't get back so many chickens. The middle-aged man said.

"The chicken coop is for you. I knit this chicken coop myself, and it's not worth a few dollars. Luo Baolin said.

"That's good. Weigh it, how much does it weigh together. The middle-aged man laughed.

Luo Baolin praised the chicken, and the middle-aged man paid the money very happily. Before leaving, he said: "Old man, if your family wants to sell this kind of local chicken in the future, you can send it to my house." Not only chickens and ducks, but also home-cooked dishes grown in the countryside, fish and shrimp. Just don't use pesticides. My family is there at the head of the bridge. ”

The middle-aged man's name is Xu Maomin, a native of Shuikoumiao Town, who opened a high-end hotel in Xilin City. This time I came back for the Chinese New Year, and by the way, I found some high-quality ingredients in Shuikou Temple Town. The yellow chickens fed in the countryside here in Shuikou Temple are delicious, delicate and nutritious. But now by the impact of some good breed chickens coming in from other places, it is very difficult to find real pure yellow chickens.

"You have to have it. Luo Baolin sold all the chickens at once, and he was very happy. Enthusiastically helped Xu Maomin deliver the chickens to Xu Maomin's house.

Before leaving, Luo Tianwang asked casually: "Uncle, do you accept the loach?"

"Of course. If you catch a loach, you can send it here. Xu Maomin said with a smile.

"I raised a pool of loaches. If you take them all, I can raise a little more. Luo Tianwang said.

"Okay, you can rest assured and bold, I want as much as I want. However, don't feed the loaches. Loaches fed for feed can not be sold for a high price. Xu Maomin said.

"I don't have the money to buy feed. My loaches are better than the ones dug in the ditch. Luo Tianwang said.

Xu Maomin didn't take Luo Tianwang's words seriously, he just smiled.

After Luo Baolin sold the chicken, he took Luo Tianwang to eat a bowl of dumplings. Luo Tianwang ate with relish. Children in the countryside rarely go back to the restaurant again. A bowl of dumplings can be used as a delicacies from the mountains and seas.

As the Chinese New Year approached, the people in the village who went south to work returned to He Mawan one by one with bulging bags.

Seeing other people's parents coming home, Luo Tianwang was very envious, and he talked a lot less this time.

Luo Jingzhi is also a child like Luo Tianwang, who has nothing to look forward to. Luo Baolin sent the clothes to Luo Jingzhi, which made Luo Jingzhi happy for many days. She hadn't worn any new clothes for many years.

Spring is coming, and Luo Tianwang's pond is very lively. The loaches that didn't come out much in the winter began to make a fuss. The loaches were huddled together and churned in Luo Tianwang's hand. The largest loach in the pool is as thick as Luo Tianwang's three or four fingers, and the number of loaches is not as much as it was when it was first put down, I don't know how much.

However, Luo Tianwang was not ready to catch loaches to sell at this time, and it was already the season for loach breeding. After this season, the number of loaches will increase exponentially.
