Chapter 146 10 Chickens

Drink a glass of honey water.

Lin Su'e felt much better: "Chunlan, I'm going to the town to buy some chickens later. Do you have anything you want me to bring you?"

Zhao Chunlan pondered for a moment and said, "The starch at home is running out.

Lin Su'e nodded: "Okay, I'll bring it back later."

After breakfast.

She rode her bicycle towards Daxing Town.

I agreed with Chunlan yesterday that I would teach her how to make honey roast chicken today. She still has a few local chickens in her space, but to make hand-braised chicken, you have to use a young chicken, about a year old.

Went to the farmers market.

I couldn't find anyone selling chicks.

There were native chickens, old hens and chicks, but unfortunately none of them were what Lin Su'e wanted.

at last.

She chose a man who was buying chickens and asked shamelessly, "Brother, do you have any chickens that have been raised for about a year?"

Hearing this.

The middle-aged man was confused: "Yes, there is, why are you asking this?"

Lin Su'e: "Do you sell that kind of chicken?"

The middle-aged man looked surprised: "You want to buy it?"

Lin Su'e nodded.

The middle-aged man frowned, a little embarrassed: "This kind of chicken is not big. I usually raise it for about 3 years before selling it. It can grow to about 10 kilograms. If you buy a chick, the price will not be very cheap, and the meat will not be so firm..."

"It's okay. I just like to eat tender chicken."

Lin Su'e didn't care and asked first, "Brother, how much do you want?"

The eldest brother gritted his teeth and said: "1.5 each, I'll sell it to you if you want."

1.5 yuan.

Not cheap.

This one-year-old chicken weighs at most 3 kilograms, which works out to 50 cents per kilogram.

A 10-jin local chicken only costs 3 yuan.

But the calculation is not that way. If the master keeps the fish for another one or two years, he can sell it for twice as much, which is still very cost-effective for them.

You should know that the average salary of workers is only about 30 yuan a month, which is equivalent to 10 old hens.

You mean the breeding cost?

It really doesn't cost much to let your cats roam freely in the countryside and eat fruits, vegetables and wheat bran.

After thinking it over in her mind, Lin Su'e nodded readily: "Okay, 1.5 yuan, give me 10."

The middle-aged man's eyes widened: "10?"

Lin Su'e smiled and said, "There are many people at home."

"The chicken is at home. My home is not far away. Do you want to go home with me to get it, or wait here for me to bring it back?"

Lin Su'e thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll wait for you. How long will it take you to come back?"

"About half an hour."

"OK."

It's settled with him.

After watching the boss leave, she leisurely left the vegetable market and came to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Zhang Shufen had the sharpest eyes and was the first to notice her. She smiled and greeted her, "Su'e."

Lin Su'e: "Sister Zhang, good morning."

Sun Tianmei also saw her and smiled in surprise: "Aunt Lin."

Lin Su'e smiled at her, walked to Zhang Shufen's counter and stood there, and said directly: "Sister Zhang, weigh me a pound of starch."

"Okay, what starch?"

“Sweet potato starch.”

"Okay."

She was nimble and quick. She picked up the measuring spoon, scooped out a few scoops, and put them on the scale, finding exactly the right amount, no more, no less.

She put it on the oil paper as if she was weaving a flower basket. Not a single bit of powder leaked out, and she wrapped it up in seconds.

This made Lin Su'e exclaim in her heart: How amazing!

In this era, people value the spirit of workers. Even if it is just placing a screw, everyone strives to be the best one.

This spirit is worth promoting and passing on.

Zhang Shufen handed it to her: "Here you go, 50 cents."

Lin Su'e took it: "Okay."

Gave 50 cents.

"Anything else?"

“No more.”

After buying the things, she did not leave, but walked to Sun Tianmei's counter and waved to her.

Sun Tianmei was puzzled, but still turned her head towards Lin Su'e: "Auntie, what's the matter?"

Lin Su'e whispered, "When you have time, ask your aunt when she is free to come to town and sit down with the He family to have a meal and settle your affairs."

As soon as these words came out.

Sun Tianmei's cheeks suddenly turned red.

When the parents of two families sit together to have a meal, doesn't that mean they are getting engaged? !

but.

She went to the He family to meet the uncle and aunt, and had a good impression of them, and had some expectations in her heart.

"Okay, auntie, I'll ask my aunt."

Lin Su'e smiled and nodded: "Anyway, I come to town often, so just tell me when you have any news."

"good."

After saying.

Lin Su'e didn't stay long. She said hello to her and Zhang Shufen, and then left the supply and marketing cooperative.

Back to the vegetable market.

The boss hasn't come back yet.

She looked at her watch. It was half past eight. According to the time agreed with her eldest brother, he should be back in about five minutes.

5 minutes later.

The eldest brother appeared on time.

The eldest brother pushed a cart with two large cages on it, each containing 5 chicks.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting so long."

Lin Su'e waved her hand: "Brother, you are too polite. I should be the one to say sorry."

after all.

She wanted tender chicken.

The middle-aged man laughed and changed the subject, bringing up the chickens: "Big sister, look, these 10 chickens are carefully selected by me, each weighs about 3 pounds, very lively, and not sick at all."

Lin Su'e looked at them one by one and smiled: "Yeah, they are all good chickens."

She took out the 15 yuan she had prepared long ago.

The eldest brother couldn't help but grin, revealing his eight neat teeth, and took it.

Counted carefully.

"No problem, it's 15 yuan."

There was excitement in his eyes: 15 yuan is enough to sell 100 chickens.

"Brother, can you tie up all my feet and throw them into a cage? Can you give me a cage?"

The middle-aged man agreed generously: "Of course."

It's a bamboo cage, he made it himself and it's free, so he wouldn't feel bad even if he gave 10, let alone one to a big customer.

He quickly tied up 10 chickens and stuffed them into the cage. Suddenly, the cage was packed and the chicks struggled and cried out in pain.

But, it was of no avail.

The boss reminded: "It's a bit heavy, hold it carefully."

Lin Su'e smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I'll tie it to my bicycle and take it back later."

Buy chicken.

She went home satisfied.

Away from the crowd, there was no one in the west, so he immediately put all the chicks into the space.

Although it doesn't need to be carried in the hand, the weight is still there.

After getting rid of the burden, her whole body felt light, her feet stepped on the ground quickly, and soon disappeared into the skyline.

Back home.

It’s half past nine.

For lunch, I had honey-glazed hand-pulled chicken.

Seeing so many chickens, Zhao Chunlan opened her mouth slightly: "Mom, why did you buy so many chickens?"

“There are at least 10 of them here.”

Lin Su'e replied: "It's just 10, but they are all chicks. It looks like a lot, but actually there aren't that many."

"Is there any hot water?"

"Come with me and kill the chicken."

Zhao Chunlan: "Yes, but I'm afraid that this many chickens may not be enough. I'll go boil some more water."

Lin Su'e: "Just boil water and kill the chicken at the same time."
