The young educated youth is the king of melon eating
Chapter 237 The hen is fat and meaty
"Auntie, auntie, are you home? I brought someone to you."
The young wife started shouting when she got to the door. She was not someone she could stand up to. She was so scared that her mother-in-law would cry with just one word of hers.
The people in the house came out after hearing the knock on the door. The aunt who opened the door was very fair, with a round face, phoenix eyes and a high nose bridge. The most noticeable thing on her face was her mouth, which was long and thin. At first glance, she looked like someone who was not to be messed with!
It's not easy to mess with. He Yan could feel the momentum before she even said anything...
"Auntie, this is an educated youth from the village. She said she wanted to buy a hen. I heard you say you had one at home that day, so I brought her here. You two can tell me the rest."
The young wife originally wanted to follow and watch, but when they met, she decided to go home instead of watching the fun and getting scolded. It was not worth it.
"Give me five cents, I'm leaving now, you two can talk slowly"
The aunt stared at He Yan, and He Yan obediently took out five cents and gave it to the young wife...
"Come in, it's hard to buy hens now, but I have one for you."
The village stipulates that a household can only raise three chickens, but the village also sympathizes that some families may not be able to raise all three. When catching chicks, they can pay extra money to catch two, which adds up to five. It depends on their ability how many they can raise.
But if someone still has three chickens when the chicks are distributed the next year, then her family will not get any chicks this year.
Otherwise, who would be willing to kill them? They have to be kept for laying eggs!
The most common thing in the village is to keep two old hens for laying eggs.
The family that keeps the old hen can only catch three chicks in the second year, which means there are still five chicks in total. By then, they can probably raise about three of them, which is not considered an excess.
The officials in the village just turned a blind eye and let it go. The law does not hold everyone responsible, and the people have to make a living!
Her two daughters are diligent and capable. They have experience in taking care of chicks every year since they were young, and all five chicks survived from the first year.
Not only is it alive, but it is also well-maintained. Every year during the Chinese New Year, the rooster weighs almost two kilograms.
The hens in her house are all two years old. They were old hens last year. Both hens weigh more than three kilograms.
You have to know that some families' chicks are sick, some weigh just one pound after a year of growth, and out of five, not even one or two may be left by the New Year. The ones her family raises are considered the best!
She saw that the hens at home were two years old and didn't lay many eggs in winter. If she didn't kill them, they would still have a share next year...
The number of eggs laid by hens will start to decrease slowly in the third year. In this case, it is better to sell or kill them and catch new ones next year.
So since the beginning of winter, the hens that were two years old in the village have been sold long ago, and the remaining ones are basically kept to be slaughtered during the New Year or given away as gifts.
Her family has already sold a male and a female. They will definitely kill one for the New Year, take one with them to her mother's house, and keep the other as a backup. But if someone offers a price, they will definitely sell it.
He Yan followed him to the chicken coop, where there were two hens and a rooster. She wanted the hens because they were fat and meaty, and she could drink the soup and eat the meat!
"Aunt, how are you going to exchange this chicken? I only have money and two meat tickets."
Looking at the two chubby old hens, He Yan remembered the fragrance wafting from Xu Shiqing's house yesterday. The chickens in this aunt's house are bigger than the ones Xie Yao brought yesterday, and they must be more fragrant!
"If you give me these two meat tickets, I'll charge you two dollars and two cents. If you just give me money, I'll give you three dollars."
If she took this chicken to the city and sold it secretly, she would get two dollars and fifty-six dollars. I heard that on the black market, such chickens could be sold for three dollars and fifty dollars.
But she was timid and didn't dare to go, so she decided to sell it to the educated youth in front of her at a discount!
When He Yan heard that it was extremely expensive, a chicken could be sold for three yuan, and even pork was expensive. But then she thought about it and realized that her chickens were indeed big and healthy.
"Okay, then three dollars, I'll keep this meat ticket for future use."
He also promised Ouyang Hua to buy pork for him. If you can buy it with money, there is no need to use meat coupons. Without meat coupons, you may not be able to buy three pounds of meat with three yuan. Now it's the New Year, what if the price has gone up!
"Mom, who is this?"
Xie, with his messy hair, came out to use the toilet. He saw a stranger standing next to his mother and asked casually.
"The educated youth from the village, the little girl is here to buy a chicken for the New Year. What should you do? Go and do it quickly. Look at your hair. You'll have to ask your dad to shave it off soon!"
I get angry just by looking at him. Look at him, he doesn't look like a human being. When he wakes up in the morning, his hair is bigger than his face...
Xie Dazui wanted to give him a broom when he saw his long hair...
Xie Gang had gained experience from being beaten, so when he saw that the situation was not right, he ran to the toilet. There were other people around, so he didn't want to chase him.
The happy transaction was completed here. One hand handed over the money and the other hand handed over the chicken. Just then, Xie Gang came out. Xie Dazui instructed Xie Gang to catch the chicken.
Xie Gang entered the chicken coop without any flaws. The chickens didn't even cry when they saw his hair. This overwhelming sense of familiarity...
He stretched out his hand and caught one hen each. Before the hen could react, it was caught...
Two hens: ...We were careless. This is a traitor...
He Yan picked up both of them. Since she had to spend money, she had to buy the big one!
I weighed them but couldn't feel much difference, so I could only pick out one that I liked and take it away, then quickly went back to stew chicken soup to make those people cry with envy!
Xie Gang hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge and went to comb his hair and wash his face.
He combed his hair neatly and went to find his brother.
Then he would go up the mountain with his brother to see if he could catch a chicken. When he saw the educated youth, he also wanted to go to the educated youth camp...
It's another day when I miss Su Zhiqing's craftsmanship...
When we arrived at Xie Yao's house, Xie Jianmin was also there, eating. When Xie's mother saw him coming at this time, she was afraid that he hadn't eaten yet, so she quickly called him to eat something.
"Auntie, you guys eat. I've already eaten and I'm here. I have something to talk to my brother about."
"Something? What? Are you going to carry pigs with your brother?"
Xie Jianmin thought that the two of them had discussed it together. His elder son was going to show off to Shen Zhiqing this year, and Gangzi should be accompanying his brother.
"Carrying a pig?? What pig? The New Year pig?"
Xie Gang opened his mouth wide and looked at his brother. What? His brother was going to carry the New Year pig?
How could they hide this from him! ! If he hadn't come here today, wouldn't his brother have been carrying the pig all alone?
Don't allow this to happen!
"Yes, sir, that's it. I'll sign up for it too, and I'll be in the same group with my brother."
"Uncle, me, me, me, and me, I want to be in a group with my brother"
A figure rushed in from the doorway, raising his hands as he spoke, afraid that he would be left behind.
"No, why are you here and eavesdropping like others?"
As soon as Gangzi turned around, he saw someone he didn't want to see...
As soon as he met Hu Zi, the defense alarm was automatically triggered. The person who wanted to steal his brother was coming!
...Xie Yao suspected that he had picked up the wrong script. Is this some kind of peasant group favorite? ? ?
