"Young man, what's your name? If you see anything you like in the future, just come to me, Old Li. I guarantee that I have the most complete goods!" Old Li promised, patting his chest.
Cheng Yunan's eyes twinkled as he said, "Brother Li, you're too polite. You can just call me Hei Pang from now on."
"Black and fat? This name is quite appropriate!" Old Li said happily.
He made 5 dollars from this order. How could he not be happy?
Cheng Yunan: “…” Just like your mother.
"Brother Li, do you have any piglets, ducklings, geese, or lambs?"
Cheng Yunan thought of the wild boar in the space. Although she rescued it, there was only one boar. How could she achieve pig freedom in the future if she couldn't breed it?
Since you have already found Lao Li, it doesn't matter how much trouble you cause him.
When Old Li heard this, he smiled and said, "You've asked the right person. There's a village called Lijia Village thirty miles from here. Some people raise pigs there. One pig is handed over to the commune, and the other is kept for slaughter. Just half a month ago, a family had a piglet. I'm a cousin of that family. I'll get you as many pigs as you want!"
Old Li really didn't lie.
However, that family were not cousins but real relatives, and the pigs were raised by them. Having piglets was a good thing, but they really could not afford to raise them. Pigs were too greedy, and they were also afraid that the sow would get into trouble, so they wanted to get rid of the piglets quickly.
But it was almost the end of the month and the autumn harvest was coming soon. No one had the energy to do so, so they didn't sell it.
There are people who buy it at the agricultural supply cooperative, but it's too cheap. It would be better to resell it to make more money, so I have never been willing to sell it.
"That's great. I won't be polite to Brother Li. Please get me some fish, two females and two males. As for the price...How much do you plan to sell them for, Brother Li?" Cheng Yunan thought it would be better to make the price clear first, so as to avoid asking for an exorbitant price later.
I don't want to be a fool and wait to be slaughtered.
"Agricultural supply cooperative, we'll buy them for about RMB 10 per head, but those who want to buy need a receipt. I won't ask for more, so how about eight yuan per head?" Old Li really didn't mean to be harsh. He thought that the man in front of him was not short of money, and he didn't see the man spending a lot of money on cigarettes and alcohol. This was a big customer and he had to keep him.
Cheng Yunan knew the price of some piglets, and eight yuan was not expensive, so he nodded in agreement.
"What about ducklings, goose babies, and lamb babies? Are there any?"
"It's easier to deal with ducks and sheep, but I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with geese."
If ducks and geese eat too much, they won't grow well if they only eat grass, and they won't be diligent in laying eggs. Most importantly, customers think duck and goose eggs are too fishy and expensive, and not as economical as chicken eggs, so it's not cost-effective to raise these two kinds of furry animals.
"Okay, I won't force you to do it if you don't have it. Just get it for me. As long as you can get it and the price is right, I'll take it all."
Old Li raised his head and looked at her again, his heart beating fast.
Did he make a wrong judgment before?
The person in front of me is not some second-generation official, but a kid from the countryside?
Impossible!
Just because he is so generous, he doesn't look like a farmer. Is there someone behind him? Otherwise, who can raise so many things at once?
After all, each family has a fixed amount of these, and government control is particularly strict.
Cheng Yunan did it on purpose. She had to maintain a sense of mystery so that no one could spy on her. The more she did this, the less likely Lao Li would dare to investigate her.
After all, the identity of Heipang is still quite useful, and she has no intention of throwing it away now.
After agreeing with Lao Li to come here to trade at 3 o'clock tomorrow, Cheng Yunan left quickly.
"Black Fatty... Hey!" Old Li whistled, and a figure emerged from the side.
"Brother Li, do you want to follow?"
"Bang!" Lao Li slapped the opponent's head. "Nonsense, what are you following? You stay here and I'm going to get the piglets. I won't come over tonight!"
He rubbed his head, realizing that he didn't need to stare at her, and nodded repeatedly.
Having solved another big problem, Cheng Yunan was extremely happy.
But I was planning in my heart.
She has so many things in her space, why not encourage Zhuang Xiangnan to set up a small food processing factory? These days, clothes can be worn, but food cannot be eaten.
The key is that everything needs planning. You can't buy anything if you have money but no tickets, so getting some food may be a better way to generate income.
Then she will have an excuse to move the things in her space out into the open, which is a win-win situation.
Cheng Yunan already had the outline of a plan in his mind, and thought that when he returned, he would write it down and show it to President Zhuang.
I think Zhuang Changzheng would also strongly support economic income-generating activities.
Well! This matter is very interesting. She must talk to Zhuang Changzheng in person when she has time.
Cheng Yunan was thinking about something as he rode his bicycle towards the village.
I came back early today, and as soon as I got home I saw Li Hongmei pedaling a sewing machine. Wow, she was so energetic that she almost treated the sewing machine as a Hot Wheels and pedaled it at such a fast speed.
But he didn't finish what he was saying, for he stopped to take a look when he heard the door open.
Seeing that it was Cheng Yunan, Li Hongmei ran out of the house with a cushion in her hand.
"Well... Third sister-in-law, it was Second sister-in-law's attitude before, and I have been looking for an opportunity to apologize to you. I... don't have anything to show for it. I made a cushion out of the scraps of cloth left over from cutting clothes. It's a little ugly, but please don't mind it!"
Seeing that the person from the third family was going to do something big, Li Hongmei's mind worked faster than anyone else.
So, I took advantage of the rest in the second half of the night to make this cushion for Cheng Yunan.
Although the gift is not expensive, it is a token of my thought.
Just let the third son’s wife see the sincerity of her apology.
Cheng Yunan took it in his hand and flipped it over.
You know what, the colors that Li Hongmei matched are quite nice. Although they are made of scraps of cloth, they are all large scraps of cloth. They should be accumulated by Li Hongmei on a daily basis. Press them twice, and it is quite comfortable. It is made with care.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. It's good. I like it very much."
Seeing Cheng Yunan stop, Li Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you don't mind. It's time to cook. You take a rest and I'll cook." Li Hongmei entered the kitchen.
To be honest, after Cheng Yunan got married, she only cooked two meals in the first two days to show her support, and after that she just waited to eat.
It's a rare opportunity to come back early today, so I have to show my ability.
"Sister-in-law, I brought back a piece of meat. Let me make braised pork." Cheng Yunan said as he took out a piece of meat weighing about two pounds from his bag.
Li Hongmei's eyes glowed brightly.
Meat!
This is meat!
Their family was one of the best in the village, but there were so many people in the family that it was impossible to eat meat every day.
With meat to eat, Li Hongmei worked more vigorously.
"Third sister-in-law, I think we should not have braised pork with red bean sauce. We still have some beans at home. Let's make some stewed pork with beans. It's easier."
Cheng Yunan had no objection.
If you use two kilograms of meat to make braised pork, each person will only eat two or three pieces. If you add some beans, each person can eat a bowl.
"Okay, let's listen to my second sister-in-law!"
The two of them got busy.
