Chapter 172 171: Timely Rain
The three of them hurried on their way, only to hear the creaking sound of the chicken bus, and arrived at Fangtian Brigade at dawn.
Yang Chunyan glanced at the road coming from the foot of the mountain, but did not see Yang Xiaoxue and his wife. "Third brother, did my cousin come to our house to look for me yesterday?"
Zhou Huaishan shook his head and said, "I haven't heard mom talk about it."
Zhou Huaian turned around and said, "Yan'er, Xiaoxue and her husband are going to Ning'an too?"
"We agreed to meet in Ning'an. I wonder if she's there yet?"
"We are going to the morning market, they definitely don't go that early."
The three of them stopped to rest for a while, and without waiting for Yang Xiaoxue and her husband, they got up and walked towards the asphalt road.
At daybreak, the three of them arrived at the east of Ning'an Bridge, jumped off the tractor, paid the fare, and pushed the things to North Street. The Wang family's pharmacy was not open yet.
Zhou Huaian parked his bicycle and said, "Third brother, I will deliver the vegetables to the guesthouse first. You and Chunyan put out the wild boar meat first. I will push the black goat over and ask Brother Huang and the others if they want it. If not, I will push it back and sell it."
"good."
The Zhou Huaian brothers unloaded the herbs, placed the chicken cart across the street, and took the wild boar meat out of the bamboo basket. Yang Chunyan hurriedly spread the oilcloth on top, and the two of them placed the wild boar meat on top.
Zhou Huaian took out a machete and chopped out a wild boar meat and two muttons. He handed one mutton to Yang Chunyan, "Yan'er, give this mutton to Doctor Wang later."
"Yes, go slowly."
"rest assured!"
Zhou Huaian pushed the chicken cart to the guesthouse, took out a piece of ox heart white, and handed it to the old man guarding the door, "Uncle Chen, these are small vegetables grown at home, you can take them to add some vegetables."
Uncle Chen took it happily and said, "Thank you very much. Your third brother gave me two lettuces yesterday."
"It's okay. The ones we grow ourselves are not valuable." Zhou Huaian asked with a smile, "Has Huang left?"
"No, the cafeteria has to entertain guests today, so they started to get busy yesterday."
"Oh! Then I'll take the food in first."
Zhou Huaian went to the cafeteria at the back and saw Huang Yongcai's tricycle parked at the entrance of the cafeteria. He stopped the tricycle and walked in.
Huang Yongcai came out with a small notebook in his hand. When he saw him, he said hurriedly, "Youngest, you're just in time. Did you bring everything I asked for?"
Zhou Huaian followed him to the door and said, "I brought it. I also brought some game. Do you think it can be used?"
Huang Yongcai's eyes lit up, "What game?"
Zhou Huaian walked to the bamboo basket and started to look through it. "A black goat, two pheasants, and a fat rabbit. We also dug some Polygonatum, picked up some morels, and spring grass."
"There was also a wild boar weighing over 100 kilograms. I didn't take any other offal, only the pig stomach. My brother set up a stall outside Dr. Wang's medicine shop."
Huang Yongcai happily watched Zhou Huaian picking up things from the bamboo basket, and patted Zhou Huaian on the shoulder with a smile, "That's great, I received a notice this morning asking me to go buy some game.
I was just wondering where to find someone to buy something from. Youngest brother, you are such a timely help. You really helped me a lot today."
Zhou Huaian was also happy, "I remembered that you said last time that you wanted to entertain guests, so I thought of sending it to you first."
"A wild boar weighing over 100 kilograms is just right. The wild boar's stomach is good stuff. Let's get the wild boar first to prevent it from being sold by your brother." Huang Yongcai said as he started pushing the tricycle.
"Brother Huang," Zhou Huaian held him back, "Wait here, I'll run back and fetch you."
Huang Yongcai smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go and watch the weighing."
Zhou Huaian ran back to Desheng Hall and said to Yang Chunyan and Zhou Huaishan, panting: "Yan'er, Third Brother, quickly move the wild boar meat into the bamboo basket. I will send it to Brother Huang."
Zhou Huaishan looked at him in surprise, "You want the whole pig?"
"Yes!" Zhou Huaian pushed out the bicycle, "Yan'er, pig's stomach, bring the pig's stomach with you."
Yang Chunyan looked at his happy expression, smiled and picked up the pig stomach and put it in the bamboo basket, "That's good, when Dr. Wang opens the shop to sell herbs, we can go back to the mountains to collect herbs."
"That's right, Third Brother, you take the eels to those families. I'm going to the guesthouse."
"Yes, ride slowly."
Zhou Huaian nodded, pushed the bicycle a few steps, got on the bike and headed towards the guesthouse.
When we arrived at the guesthouse, Huang Yongcai came up to us with a small notebook in his hand and asked, "Did you pull it over?"
"It's here." Zhou Huaian got out of the car and leaned forward to whisper, "Except for the knife I cut off and brought back to you, it hasn't been touched yet."
Huang Yongcai laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close. "How can I feel embarrassed? I always let you spend money!"
Zhou Huaian looked at him and said sincerely: "Brother Huang, you took the trouble to help us. It's too polite to say this!"
"Okay, I won't say anything more." Huang Yongcai patted his shoulder, "Let's go and weigh it."
"Yes, you help me push the bike and I'll push the chicken bus."
"Oh, you've upgraded your weapon! It's a bicycle from the Post Office."
"Doctor Xiao Wang helped me buy a second-hand bike from the Post and Telecommunications Bureau. When there were not many in stock, I would ride my bike to Ning'an."
"Yes, a 28-ton truck is perfect for carrying things."
The two of them went to the scale, and Huang Yongcai counted the weight while writing it down in his notebook, "5 little roosters, net weight 12 jin 9 liang, 1.8 yuan per jin...
Wild boar meat is 93 jins and costs 1.3 yuan per jin, wild boar stomach is 10 yuan each, wild mutton weighs 49 jins and 7 liangs and costs 1.8 yuan per jin, and two pheasants weigh 6 jins and 2 liangs..."
After the two men weighed the chickens and game, they began to weigh the mushrooms, vegetables, count the eggs, and settle the bill.
Huang Yongcai gave Zhou Huaian the list of things he needed for tomorrow and said, "Send it early tomorrow."
Zhou Huaian took the list and put it away. "Yes, I have to go to the forest farm when I return. If you need anything, please let my third brother bring a letter to me."
Huang Yongcai nodded, "If you want it, I won't send you off!"
"You are busy, you are busy!" Zhou Huaian put the bicycle on the bus and pushed it back excitedly.
At Desheng Hall, the two brothers had just walked a short distance when Wang Zhen opened the door and saw Yang Chunyan standing alone at the door. "Sister Yang, why don't you go to the alley and call me?"
"It's okay. Huai'an went to deliver something to the guesthouse."
Wang Zhen saw several sacks and bamboo baskets outside and said with a smile, "You are the most diligent herbal farmers I have ever seen. Wait for me to pull the cart out and help you carry it to the backyard."
Yang Chunyan smiled and stepped forward to help remove the door panels. "We want to earn more money while we are young, so that we can live a leisurely life of growing flowers and plants when we are old."
Wang Zhen nodded and smiled: "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, I can see the southern mountains leisurely!"
"It's still better said by educated people!"
"Hahaha!" Wang Zhen laughed. "Sister Yang, to be honest, the first time you came to sell herbs, it felt like we had known each other for a long time, even though it was only our second meeting. Don't you think that's weird?"
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "Maybe it's because of my brother. They all say that I am most like him." She thought to herself, we have known each other for many years, and I even know what you look like when you are old!
Wang Zhen thought about it and it was true. "Yes, yes, you and Brother Yang are really alike. You are both mature beyond your years. My grandfather always said that Brother Yang is a person who can sit still. He should concentrate on studying medicine."
