Chapter 24: Inquiring

Seeing Xu Tongdao stop, Xu Changsheng also stopped, followed Xu Tongdao's gaze, and asked casually, "What are you looking at?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Xu Tongdao's mouth, "Do you think those sheep are quite beautiful?" ”

"Huh?"

Xu Changsheng couldn't keep up with Xu Tongdao's brain circuit, he was stunned for a moment, and when he heard Xu Tongdao's laughter, he realized that Xu Tongdao was joking, and then he also laughed.

Xu Tongdao didn't tell him the thought he had just flashed.

The flock of sheep in the big yard not far away gave him the inspiration to make money.

Before this, he had been thinking about going to the county seat in the past two days to find a job in a few days, such as temporarily working as a cutter for side dishes.

The chef's salary is still okay, although it is a little hard and tiring, but as long as he can earn money, he can do it.

It's just that he is only 17 years old at the moment, and he can't even get an ID card, so it is estimated that he can serve side dishes at most, and if he wants to be the master of the spoon, no one should dare to use him.

But the sheep in the yard in front of him suddenly made him think that he could set up a stall in the county seat to sell skewers when he turned around.

Selling kebabs on the street may seem unseemly, but he knows that as long as the business is good, he will definitely make money much faster than going to work.

As for the unseemly things, he didn't care at all.

He wants to make money now, how much is his face worth? Can he feed and clothe his whole family? Can he provide for his younger brother and sister to study? Can he improve his family's living conditions as soon as possible?

The answer is obvious.

The key is that the investment in making skewers on the street does not need to be much, a barbecue, a few folding tables, stools, and some beer or something, and a small stall can be supported.

Moreover, the chengguan in these years has no sense of existence.

Stalls on the street are allowed.

The most important thing is that the investment in the skewer is not large, but there are many people who like to eat it, and in Xu Tongdao's impression, even after 20 years, there are still many people who love to eat this thing.

So this business can be done for a long time.

As for whether he will make a barbecue?

Truth be told, he really hadn't done it before.

But he has been a chef for several years before, so he has heard of some barbecue techniques, seasonings and so on, and the technical difficulty is not very high, and he is confident that he can make it.

One of the key problems was that he had heard that the lamb meat was the best for barbecue, and the goat had a strong smell and the meat was old, so it was not delicious to grill.

In their Xujia Village and other nearby villages, it is common to see goats that are easier to raise.

This is also a big reason why Xu Tongdao didn't think of making skewers in the past two days.

He didn't expect that in this place of Yu Village, there were so many sheep raised by someone.

What a bonus.

So, when he and Xu Changsheng walked around this village, they consciously paid attention to whether there were still sheep raised here.

Not to mention, he didn't pay attention to it before, but he soon found the second, third, and even fourth sheep breeders.

Each family raised more or less sheep, but without exception, they all raised sheep.

As he walked, he saw an aunt cleaning the sheepfold in the yard of a family in front of him, Xu Tongdao hesitated slightly, and said to Xu Changsheng: "Go!" ”

"Huh, ask questions, ask what?"

Xu Changsheng was confused, but Xu Tongdao had already walked outside the courtyard wall of the house, and greeted the aunt who was cleaning the sheepfold with a smile, "Hey, hello Auntie!

The aunt who was cleaning the sheepfold with her head down was about fifty years old, black and thin, hearing this, she looked up at Xu Tongdao and Xu Changsheng in surprise, and smiled, "Well, my family has raised a lot, what do you ask me if I sell or not?"

As she spoke, she chuckled twice.

Xu Tongdao laughed twice and said, "Auntie, I'm just curious, by the way, I see that several families in your village seem to raise sheep, do other villages near you also raise this kind of sheep?"

The woman was laughing and groaning, and she bowed her head and continued to sweep the sheepfold.

Hearing this, he said casually: "Well, yes! Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water! Many of us who live on the edge of the polders have raised sheep, and there is so much grass on the polders, right? Hehe, and ah, when the water in the river recedes, there will be more grass, which is suitable for raising cattle and sheep. ”

Xu Tongdao nodded secretly in his heart, it is true, on this polder by the river, there is grass all year round, the difference is only that the grass is green and the grass is dry.

It is indeed suitable for raising cattle and sheep.

"Auntie, are you all raising sheep like yours here?"

"Not all! This kind of sheep in my family is a little more difficult to raise, and some families want to save trouble and raise goats, but how can I say it! There are many people who raise this kind of sheep in my family! After all, this kind of mutton in my family is delicious, and the price is a little higher. ”

......

Between a few questions and answers, Xu Tongdao knew it in his heart.

He didn't know exactly how long this polder was, but it was estimated that there must be hundreds of miles, after all, this is a polder of a tributary of the Yangtze River.

As far as he knows, although the people next to the polders are sparse, there are basically villages.

In other words, if what this aunt said is correct, there are definitely a lot of sheep raised next to this polder.

He knew that some of the lamb that sold kebabs was frozen, not fresh, but cheap, and if he sold it, he could make more money.

But since he wanted to do a kebab business and do a good job, he never thought about using frozen mutton.

With this fresh lamb meat, the taste of roasting is definitely more delicious, that's for sure.

It's just that the cost is higher.

But if the cost is higher, if it can be exchanged for better reputation and business, Xu Tongdao thinks it is worth it.

He asked again how much a sheep was.

The aunt who was cleaning the sheepfold told him that the big one was two hundred yuan a piece, and the smaller one was about one hundred and fifteen.

......

"Why did you ask that? You want to buy a whole sheep to eat?"

After leaving the courtyard of this family, Xu Changsheng asked puzzledly.

Xu Tongdao glanced back at the sheep in the yard again, smiled slightly, and said casually, "Isn't this boring! Anyway, being idle is idle, so I asked a few more questions if I was curious." ”

After a pause, Xu Tongdao changed the subject, "By the way, Changsheng, how much money can you earn a day by doing a small job behind your uncle?"

When Xu Changsheng heard this, he sighed, "15 yuan a day!

Xu Tongdao raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "It's okay! Your salary will definitely increase in the future." ”

Xu Changsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I hope so, but it's really tiring to do small jobs, I don't want to do it anymore, even my parents don't agree with me changing careers, I also know what they think, I can earn more money by doing small jobs! They know to let me earn more money......
