Chapter 237: Lately Inflated
"No, Mom, I can take care of things here. Liu Xing smiled when he heard this, with confidence in his eyes.
The pigs in these three greenhouses have not yet cost four thousand yuan in total.
Even if he dies of illness in the end, he won't have the slightest pain.
Because if you want to make a lot of money, how can you not take risks.
When Zhou Qiuxiang heard Liu Xing say this, she reached out dotingly and patted the dust on Liu Xing's body: "Then don't be tired of yourself, I know that you have taken a lot of risks this time, and it is certain that you will make a lot of money, but if it doesn't work out, it is inevitable that you will be laughed at." ”
"Your son is made of stainless steel, are you still afraid of this bit of gossip?" Liu Xing joked teasingly.
"That's good!" Zhou Qiuxiang couldn't help but smile when she heard this, seeing that it was not too early, she turned around and walked in the direction of the shoe store.
Liu Xing watched his mother's figure disappear from sight, and was about to get a broom to clean up the greenhouse, when on the street in the distance, melon seeds carried woven bags, and more than a dozen children such as Xiao Budian, Xiao Doudou, Zhao Jing, and Lan Lan appeared.
These dozen children also carried woven bags on their shoulders, and the bulging inside were all the herbs such as lantern grass, wild wormwood, and stinky grass that Liu Xing needed.
"They're really diligent. When Liu Xing saw this scene, he smiled and greeted him.
"Brother, Wo gave you three bags of pigweed, give money. After the melon seed put the woven bag at the door of the greenhouse, he stretched out his little hand to Liu Xing.
"Yes, my uncle gives money. "Xiao Budian also came forward to join in the fun.
The other dozen or so children watched with a faint smile.
After all, Liu Xing did not break his promise.
I picked several bags of pigweed before, and Liu Xing gave money.
And some of them are diligent, and this half-day work is higher than the wages of the adults in the family.
"Good, good, good, good, give money. After Liu Xing glanced at the melon seeds, he took out the change that had been prepared a long time ago, and then distributed them one by one.
Even if the woven bag of Xiaodian and several children is only a small half bag of pigweed, he will distribute it in full.
After cheering, more than a dozen children such as melon seeds, Xiao Budian, Xiaodoudou, Zhao Jing, and Lan Lan who took the money all ran towards the department store.
Obviously, I went to buy good food and fun.
"Slow down. Liu Xinglian shouted.
Seeing that the melon seeds were the most naughty, he couldn't help but tell him again: "A few of you remember to go home for dinner, did you hear it?" ”
"I hear you, brother. Guazi looked back and reassured.
"Uncle, we're not going to run around. Xiao Budian made a grimace at Liu Xing, and there was a smile on his little face.
"Brother Liu Xing, we will come back obediently after we buy something. Lan Lan said obediently.
"That's fine. Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
After waiting for the children to run away, they picked up a broom and a shovel and began to clean up the greenhouse.
......
Early the next morning.
One after another, villagers sent small piglets and half-sized pigs.
But many of them are no longer good, Liu Xing gave them five yuan out of benevolence, and then asked Village Chief Zhao to bring people to bury them.
It's not that he doesn't want to save these pigs, it's that he can't save them anymore.
By noon, no one had brought pigs and piglets over.
This made Zhou Shan and Zhou Min breathe a sigh of relief, and made Village Chief Zhao feel at ease.
After all, he knew that Liu Xing's money was not robbed, and five yuan per little piglet was also money!
If this goes on for a long time, it will be the collapse of the banks.
But what they didn't know was that Liu Xing's expression became solemn at this time.
It's not that there are no pigs and piglets who are not happy to be sent to him.
Instead, he had vaguely guessed that the entire Zhangmu Township was now dead except for the more than 1,000 pigs he kept in captivity in three greenhouses.
No, the three pigs of his family, the two of the eldest sister's family, and Wang Daoxiang's family should still be alive and well.
But so what, a drop in the bucket, it's useless at all.
This is a rather horrible phenomenon.
That's why it's called horror.
That was in the eighties.
There are many people who raise pigs in rural areas.
Almost every household has pigs.
Take the entire Zhangmu Township as an example, the pigs of all pig farmers are combined.
I'm afraid that there will be tens of thousands, which is still the most conservative number, because Zhangmu Township is very large, and there are more than a dozen villages in total!
And a village has at least a few hundred households, and a dozen villages, then there are thousands of households.
A family raises a pig, and that's thousands.
And this is not possible, some farmers who raise sows.
There are at least 10 or more hogs, based on the average.
There must be at least 20,000 to 30,000 pigs in the entire Zhangmu Township.
But think about it now, because of this continuous heavy rain caused by swine fever.
directly left more than 1,000 heads in Zhangmu Township.
And that's when he's trying to take it in as much as possible.
Otherwise, the pigs in Zhangmu Township would really be the only one left with Wang Daoxiang's family as before the rebirth.
However, it is useless to care about these now, because the situation is like this, Liu Xing has no way to change it at all.
Therefore, we can only take care of these purchased pigs with the greatest ability.
Then the accident happened, after eating lunch.
Two little piglets were trampled to death by half-sized pigs because of scurrying.
When it is taken out of the shed and ready to be thrown away, it happens to be the time when the whole market is at its most crowded.
As a result, gossip flew all over the sky.
What Liu Xing, the big fool bought pigs, also began to die in large numbers.
Now there are only a dozen or so left in the greenhouse.
Some of the rumors are even more excessive.
said that Liu Xing looked at the dead pigs in the greenhouse, and he was lying on the railing and crying bitterly.
If you cry, you will be as sad as you are.
And the rumors eventually turned into a result.
That is, Liu Xing lost money in buying and selling live pigs this time, and even the shoe store was almost sold.
Fortunately, there is still money earned from department stores to maintain expenses, otherwise Liu Xing will become a beggar this time.
Whether they will become beggars or not, only the villagers of the old housing village such as Zhou Shan and Zhou Min, who help feed the pigs, know.
Except for the two pigs who didn't notice being trampled to death, the other pigs are all alive and well!
Moreover, Liu Xingzheng immediately changed the feeding strategy for the two pigs that were trampled to death, and changed the original three greenhouses in captivity to six, so that the space for the pigs to move is much larger, and there will be no more trampling to death.
But the cost of captivity has increased at the same time.
However, compared to the skyrocketing pork prices in the future, this is negligible.
As the pig captivity stabilized, Liu Xing no longer took care of it, but gave full authority to Zhou Shan, Zhou Min, Zhao Village Chief and other villagers to take care of it, while he himself went to the department store to check the counter decoration of the liquor self-operated wholesale store.
There's no way around it.
Because tomorrow is the eighth.
It is also the day when the liquor direct wholesale store opens.
It was a good day for him to be admitted to high school, set up a banquet and invite relatives and friends from all walks of life.
Therefore, within the best of our ability, it is natural to deal with all the things to be solved.
In department stores, the counter arranged by Chen Hong for the liquor direct wholesale store is in the most conspicuous position in the middle of the gate.
But as soon as Liu Xing walked in, he shook his head when he looked at it: "Sister Xinru, hurry up and ask the master who decorates the counter to stop work, your pattern looks too small, this sells Hengshui to Hengshui Distillery, the pattern is too small, no one wants to do business at all." ”
"Then what do you say is the big pattern?"
He spent about two or three hundred yuan on this decoration!
That's a lot more than the other vendors in the department store.
"Replace the signboard font of the liquor direct wholesale store with gilded characters, preferably the kind that is hand-plated and gold-plated, and this counter frame, you can no longer use wood, you have to replace it with metal, preferably aluminum products that have a smooth look and are very eye-catching. Liu Xing groaned with his hands behind his back, and then began to explain.
"Then this can't cost a lot of money?" Nai Xinru was a little confused, he couldn't afford so much money.
"Why are you worried about money?" Liu Xing shook his head when he heard this: "If you don't have enough money, go to my shoe store and apply for a thousand yuan to spend first, and then come to me if it's not enough." ”
"Do you really want to be so extravagant and wasteful?" asked Nai Xinru.
This Liu Xing, has it been inflated recently.
It cost so much money to buy pigs, and this time a liquor direct wholesale store will cost so much money.
Although I have made a lot of money this time, I am afraid that it will not be enough to toss like this!
"You're really, what is called extravagance and waste? This is called patterning. Liu Xing glanced at him: "Hurry up and do it, it will open tomorrow! Don't waste time with me." ”
"Okay!" Naixin had no choice but to nod and agree: "But before leaving, I have to tell you one thing, the assistant who asked for it has come today, do you have to look at it." ”
"What am I doing with this little thing?" Liu Xing flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave.
But in the next second, he took a few steps back and looked at a burly man who was helping with the decoration: "This is not ...... Wang Kunlun?"
Wang Kunlun said goodbye after being rescued before.
I thought this guy was wandering to find his daughter-in-law who hadn't passed through the door again!
"When did he become a decorator?" After coming back to his senses, Liu Xing looked at Nai Xinru in surprise.
At this look, Nai Xinru's pretty face turned red: "In fact, when I was repairing the wine filling equipment in Hengshui Distillery, I saw Wang Kunlun, at that time he was a temporary porter in Hengshui Distillery, and I saw that he was very hard, so before leaving Hengshui Distillery, I sincerely invited him to come to the market to help with things." ”
"Oh......" Liu Xing knew that Nai Xinru had something to say, and it could be seen from Nai Xinru's expression that he was afraid of what had happened with Wang Kunlun.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but smile: "Sister Xinru, you are really, did I say that I wouldn't let you find a good father for Xiaodoudou, why are you so shy and afraid!"
"I didn't, I just looked at Wang Kunlun pitifully. Naixin waved his hand and explained.
But the more she explained, the redder her pretty face became.
This scene made Liu Xing see it in his eyes, and he was happy in his heart.
However, he didn't tease Nai Xinru anymore, but said seriously: "Go and call Wang Kunlun over to get to know him, since you want him to be your assistant, then there are some things I have to explain clearly." ”
"Hey!" Naixin hurriedly did so.
After a while, he brought Wang Kunlun, who was covered in sawdust, to Liu Xing's side.
At this time, Wang Kunlun is no longer the unkempt Wang Kunlun who 'slept' in the canal before.
This man looks a lot fatter and more energetic.
Especially those eyes, which look very sharp.
Even Liu Xing, a reborn person, didn't dare to look twice.
I was afraid that Wang Kunlun's eyes would hurt him.
This shows from the side that Wang Kunlun is not an ordinary person.
But Liu Xing didn't ask much, but reached out and gently hammered Wang Kunlun: "You didn't say goodbye last time, did your daughter-in-law find it?"
"Nope. Wang Kunlun replied calmly.
"Then don't you look for it?" Liu Xing was stunned.
"No, because I have found her body and buried her in my hometown. Wang Kunlun was silent for a moment before telling the inside story.
"Okay! I shouldn't have asked that. Liu Xing was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, I know you're well-intentioned. Wang Kunlun stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead: "Now I urgently need money for my mother's treatment, so I hope you can let me stay in the market." ”
"Didn't you come to the market for Sister Xinru?" Liu Xing asked teasingly.
"This ......" Wang Kunlun looked at Nai Xinru.
Seeing that Nai's heart was blushing, he smiled and said, "Half of it, but I want to make money more now." ”
"Then do it. Liu Xing stretched out his hand and patted Wang Kunlun's shoulder: "If you want, you can take your mother to the market, and I can ask Doctor Jiang to treat her." ”
"Will his old man agree?" Wang Kunlun was a little worried.
After all, Dr. Jiang's medical skills are well-known in southern and northern Hunan provinces.
And he once made a rule not to treat the poor.
And his mother was poor.
"He's my grandfather, do you say you'll agree?" Liu Xing asked funny.
"Huh?" Wang Kunlun froze.
He just said that the last time he was attacked by someone and fell into the canal, why would Doctor Jiang come to the rescue.
It turns out that everything is because of Liu Xing!
"Don't be dumbfounded, work hard. Liu Xing saw that the decoration of the liquor direct wholesale store could not be completed before dark, so after saying a word, he left with his hands behind his back.
Wang Kunlun watched Liu Xing's figure disappear, and suddenly turned his head to look at Nai Xinru: "By the way, how old is Liu Xing this year?"
"Why are you asking this? People are going to study in No. 8 Middle School in the second half of the year, and they will only turn sixteen!" replied Naixinru casually.
"What? only sixteen years old?" Wang Kunlun was dumbfounded.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I saw in his eyes the vicissitudes that he shouldn't have at his age, maybe it's an illusion!" Wang Kunlun smiled self-deprecatingly, and went to busy with him.
"Is there vicissitudes in Liu Xing's eyes?" Nai Xinru didn't feel it at all.
......
In a flash, it was evening.
Liu Xing after eating.
Seeing that the weather is hot, it is not good.
I took a change of clothes and went to the backyard to get ready to take a shower.
Then before he walked into the backyard, Nai Xinru appeared in a hurry: "Liu Xing, there is a middle-aged man who claims to be the director of Gujing Distillery looking for you, saying that he wants to talk to you about business. ”
"Furui Distillery ???"
"Is that the Gujing Distillery that produces Gujing Tribute Liquor?"
Liu Xing asked in a daze.
"It should be, he said that his surname is Wang, and he is good friends with Yi Jianping. "The heart is like a reply.
"Is Yi Jianping here?" Liu Xing felt that this matter was not simple, and immediately frowned and asked.
"I came, but not in a department store, but under the leadership of Director Li, I came to see Dr. Jiang. Nai Xinru thought to himself how Liu Xing could guess so accurately, and hurriedly replied in a daze.
"I see, you go get busy first, and I'll go find them when I'm done showering. After Liu Xing finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the backyard.
Naixin opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but in the end he couldn't do it.
Because at the door of the clinic, Director Li was calling her.
I had no choice but to run over.
Half an hour later.
Liu Xing, who had changed into a white short-sleeved shirt, also appeared at the door of the clinic.
Seeing Li Dawei's car parked under the grapefruit tree, he shook his head and walked in.
In the clinic, even though it was evening, there were still many people who saw the doctor.
Liu Xing came directly to the side room where Dr. Jiang was located, and saw that he was taking Yi Jianping's pulse, so he stood aside and waited quietly.
At this time, Yi Jianping was much thinner than a few months ago, especially that face.
It's sallow and sallow, and it looks a little oozing.
And from time to time, he coughs a few times, and he can exhale an unpleasant foul smell in his mouth.
Doctor Jiang is not surprised by this phenomenon.
But Qinglian and Luzhu, who were helping on the side, were so disgusting that they almost vomited.
This made Yi Jianping very embarrassed, but he had no choice but to endure and not cough.
At this time, Doctor Jiang put down the hand that was holding the pulse, stroked his beard and said softly: "You! This disease is caused by drinking fake wine, if you want to be cured, you have to spend some time recuperating, otherwise you will die soon." ”
"I listen to you now, and if you want, I can move in to the clinic right now. When Yi Jianping heard Doctor Jiang say this, he was excited.
The reason why I was excited was because the doctors in other big hospitals said that he was hopeless and asked him to prepare for the future!
As for the reason, it must be that the Zhang Gong wine blended with industrial alcohol that he drank before has drunk all the internal organs, otherwise which doctor would dare to say such a thing.
And now that Doctor Jiang said that he was still saved, he was naturally ecstatic and excited.
"I don't have a bed for you here, it's full. Hearing this, Doctor Jiang smiled lightly and shook his head: "Aren't you friends with Liu Xing? You can borrow his eldest sister's house, it's the same." ”
"Then I'll go find Liu Xing. With Li Dawei's support, Yi Jianping quickly stood up.
"Liu Xing is by your side, what are you looking for?" Doctor Jiang even reminded: "Are your eyes and vision blurred to this extent?"
"You don't know, I can't see anything around me right now. ”
After Yi Jianping replied, he hurriedly looked around blankly: "Liu Xing, where are you?"
Divine Doctor Jiang looked at it and shook his head.
"By your side!" Liu Xing helped Yi Jianping sit down, his words were full of concern: "As for the matter of the bed, I will solve it for you in person later, you still let Grandpa Jiang prescribe the right medicine for you now!"
"If you don't take medicine, I'm a little scared when you look like this. After a pause, Liu Xing said again.
"Okay! good!" Yi Jianping nodded.
