July 29th.
Before she knew it, Qiao Qingqing had been in the countryside for two months.
A lot of things happened in the past two months, but the most celebrated thing was that the new house she had been dreaming of was finally completed!
In two days, it will be the day to move into the new house.
Qiao Qingqing is officially moving into a new house!
Nowadays, houses are not painted and have no formaldehyde. They can be lived in as soon as they are built, without so many taboos.
Even though she couldn't hold a grand celebration on the day of moving, Qiao Qingqing still wanted to invite relatives and friends to her new home for a meal.
For this reason, Qiao Qingqing came to ask Aunt Xiumei for help.
"Aunt, when we invite everyone to dinner, we need some hearty dishes. Can you help me ask in the village if anyone is willing to sell chickens? I want to buy some."
Feng Xiumei said with a smile: "As long as you are willing to bid, I can get it for you."
These chickens are raised only for laying eggs and selling them for money. They are rarely raised for personal consumption. After all, the number of chickens a family can raise is limited. If they raise too many and are reported, they will be in trouble.
In this situation, who would be willing to eat chicken?
Now that they can sell the chickens, everyone is happy. After all, they can raise new ones after selling them. There are still a few months before the chicken matures, which is enough time to raise a chicken.
Qiao Qingqing was also very straightforward: "A hen is two yuan, and a rooster is one yuan and eighty cents."
Feng Xiumei scolded: "You are so generous now, didn't I lose money before?"
Qiao Qingqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "This..."
"I'm just teasing you, you silly girl." Feng Xiumei shook her head helplessly. "Forget it, leave it to me. I'll negotiate the price with them. How many do you want?"
Qiao Qingqing's eyes flickered. "Aunt, I wanted to ask you to help me cook. There are so many people to invite that day, and we can't handle it. Please help me find two people to help cook, and I will pay you. As for buying chickens, you just need to spread the news and say that the deadline is this evening. Let those who want to sell them send them to my new house by themselves, so that we can save some trouble."
"Oh, what's the point of talking about wages? It's just cooking a meal!" Feng Xiumei immediately refused, "In this case, just treat the helpers to a meal."
Qiao Qingqing knew that the villagers were exchanging favors for favors, but she was just an educated youth who had gone to the countryside, and she had just had a dispute with Zhou Hongjun and his family. In such a special situation, it would be safer to use money to exchange for labor.
"Aunt, it's settled. Anyone who helps with cooking on the second day of the Chinese New Year will get fifty cents. I'm only inviting three people, you count as one, and find two more people you think are suitable to come along. You guys can handle this yourself."
After saying this, Qiao Qingqing slipped away. Feng Xiumei stamped her feet as she looked at her back.
"Hey, this kid!"
Qiao Qingqing did not want to take advantage of others. After all, she was not a local in the village, and it would be difficult to repay the favor.
Let's just settle the payment and goods and no one owes anyone anything.
Feng Xiumei admired this girl more and more. She was completely different from the girls she had known before.
Soon, Feng Xiumei found the people she was on good terms with and told them the news that Qiao Zhiqing wanted to buy chickens.
Since Qiao Zhiqing is not short of money, there is no need for her to be a bad person. She should just quote the price that the other party offers.
Starting in the afternoon, people began to carry chickens to Qiao Qingqing's new house one after another.
Although Qiao Qingqing hasn't officially moved in yet, she has been staying here these days as she is planning the layout of the new house.
Qiao Qingqing received one villager after another. The money in her pocket was decreasing, but the number of chickens in her space was increasing.
She was grinning from ear to ear.
The reason why she didn't let Feng Xiumei help her buy chickens was to make it easier for her to "fish in troubled waters"!
Although buying chickens to eat yourself generally won't cause any trouble in the countryside, we still don't recommend publicizing it to avoid getting into trouble.
