"Uncle boss, let's go, let's go!"

After Liu Qingshan bought the crusher and carried it to the carriage, he saw the owner of the machine surrounding a brand-new small four-wheel tractor, spinning around in circles.

After he urged him several times, the boss uncle came back reluctantly. When he picked up his beloved whip pole, he said with a look of disgust: "When I make money, I will put you on the steering wheel!"

Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "Uncle Boss, your wish will definitely come true."

In fact, later on, the boss uncle was the first to buy a small four-wheeler in Jiapigou, and also the first to buy a Jiefang.

When I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, I found that the empty space next to the supply and marketing cooperative was noisy, with hundreds of people at least.

The uncle boss slapped his thigh: "I almost forgot, there is a big gathering in our commune today, Saturday."

Liu Qingshan also felt something in his heart: "Then let's go to the market and take a look. The pig pens are all covered, so they can't be empty inside."

"I'm glad, this year the wheat sprouts will not be harvested by the state. By then, there will definitely be more pigs raised. Let's catch more piglets first so as not to raise the price in the future."

The uncle boss had a lively mind and could make sense at a glance, so he tied up the carriage and the few of them went straight to the nearby market.

Probably last year, with the revitalization of the economy, farmers' markets have reopened. The times set by each commune are different, from Monday to Sunday, on any day.

The big market in Bishui County is held on Sunday and is also the largest.

Large markets in rural areas mainly target farmers, so most of the goods sold are agricultural supplies.

There are the largest number of agricultural tools such as brooms, shovels, sickles, hoes, etc.

In addition, there are some daily necessities and the like, and you no longer need to buy them with tickets. Liu Qingshan even saw two young people selling electronic watches there.

Gao Wenxue looked at the Shanghai watch on his wrist and immediately decided to buy a few more electronic watches: one for each member of the family!

The reason is very good: "The second phoenix is ​​in class, so you need to check the time; the fourth phoenix and the fifth phoenix are in the first grade, and I haven't given any gifts yet."

Gao Wenxue became more and more excited as he talked: "Sanfeng, you have so many things to do, and you have to grasp your time well. It happens to be your birthday today, so I will treat it as a birthday gift from my brother-in-law. In fact, you are the one I want to thank you most!"

Brother-in-law, you are really willing to give up. This is not how you spend your money.

Liu Qingshan hurriedly stopped him: "Brother-in-law, what do you want to thank me for? I definitely don't want it. If you want to buy something in the future, I will buy a high-end mechanical watch. As for the four and five phoenixes who are young now, wearing a watch is nothing to show off. If you insist on buying it, just buy it."

Just buy one for my second sister."

With no other choice, Gao Wenxue had no choice but to spend 24 yuan on a women's electronic watch and give it to Liu Yinfeng when someone went to the county in the future.

Walking along the flow of people, I saw a pork stall. The butcher was holding a fly swing and swinging it back and forth in boredom. There were only a few customers selling the meat.

At this time, there was a shortage of food, the grain was confiscated, and the farmers had no money, so who would be willing to sell meat?

That is to say, the employees of those units where the commune is located, with good conditions, sell half a catty to satisfy their families' needs.

Gao Wenxue's eyes lit up, he pulled Liu Qingshan and ran over. When he asked about the price, it was one yuan and five cents, which was more than ten cents more than what was offered by ticket.

"It's too expensive. Can you make it cheaper to have a baby?"

The owner of the car knew a strong man who sold pork, so he negotiated the price, and finally got it down to five cents.

"Then cut me two pounds of meat!"

Gao Wenxue opened his mouth, and the meat seller was shocked: Nowadays, when cutting meat, you usually cut a few taels. This brother is so grand, he can only cut two jins when he opens his mouth.

The uncle boss was still there helping to brag: "Da Shengzi, do you know who this is? Let me tell you, the great writer Comrade Gao Wenxue just received more than 400 yuan in royalties. I'm buying meat from you. You're a bastard."

Anyone who kills pigs can become a little scholarly!"

"Oh, I'm blind, so don't pay me a dollar, even if it costs you ninety cents per catty!"

The meat buyer is a rough guy, and he envies the educated people the most, so he just lowered the price by another dime, which made the high-literature people feel embarrassed.

Liu Qingshan saw that there was a piece of suet on the pork case, which was a good thing, so he also bought it.

The pork and suet are tied with hemp rope and carried by hand. Wherever you go, others will look at you with envy and take a second look.

Liu Qingshan walked around and finally saw a livestock seller in a corner of the market.

Most of them sell piglets in large baskets made of wicker. Each basket can hold more than a dozen piglets, which is basically a nest.

Of course, there are also dog sellers. At this time, dogs are really cheap. A large adult dog only costs five yuan.

However, dog meat is too lean and no one likes to eat it, and Liu Qingshan does not eat dog meat at all.

Moreover, every household in rural areas raises dogs. If a female dog gives birth to puppies, if you like them, you can take one away without spending any money.

In addition, there are also those selling pheasants and hares, and the prices are also very cheap. The reason is the same as above, the meat is too lean.

The most lacking thing at this time is oil and water.

Liu Qingshan spent two yuan and bought two fat hares, which made him and the stall owner extremely happy. It can be said that everyone was happy.

The uncle boss looked at all the five or six piglet sellers and found a lot of faults.

Either he thought the piglets were too thin or too dirty, which made the sellers so angry that they all stared at him.

"Uncle boss, stop being picky and buy them all."

Liu Qingshan quietly poked at the boss, he estimated that the price of piglets would increase in a few days.

"Qingshan, the money we brought is not enough?"

The car owner was also in a bit of trouble. He did it on purpose just to bargain for a lower price.

"My brother-in-law will borrow the money to spend first. Anyway, we can pay it back with the loan money when we get back."

Liu Qingshan felt that it would be better to help his eldest brother-in-law spend the money first, so as to save him from having to worry about buying everything. Look at his energy, he is even thinking of emptying out the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Then let's buy it. I'll be responsible for negotiating the price, and you'll be responsible for paying for it."

The uncle boss was also worried that a young man like Liu Qingshan would not be able to bargain, so he gave some warnings.

After the discussion was over, the uncle boss was not anxious at all. He led Liu Qingshan to continue walking around the market and softly imparted his experience:

"We'll take action again when it's almost time to disperse. In one morning, the little piglet has pooped out the food he was fed in the morning, drank all the water and peed out. At least he can lose one or two kilograms."

What else could Liu Qingshan say, he could only express his admiration, since he couldn't calculate this anyway.

Look, the sun was just about to set, and the boss uncle wandered over again, and there were a few more piglet sellers, all ready to pack up and go home.

I waited all morning in vain. After I go back, I have to feed him for another week. How much food and drink do I need?

The most important thing is that the piglets have grown a lot and will be harder to sell.

At that time, in order to save money, everyone liked to buy piglets. The smaller the better, as long as they were weaned and could eat.

"Don't go, don't go, I'm all wrapped up!"

The uncle boss shouted, and those selling piglets couldn't help but cheer up.

But when they realized it was the picky guy just now, they all frowned, knowing that this guy wasn't easy to fool, so he probably wouldn't be able to take advantage of him.

It has to be sold, it can't be taken back.

So everyone gathered around, talking all over each other, arguing about what to say, and the boss uncle was almost drowned in spittle.

But the uncle boss was not moved at all. He paid 40 cents per catty and agreed to have it weighed.

Finally, a seller couldn't hold on any longer and took the lead in selling the piglets. Basically, one piglet was about ten pounds, and there was also the smallest piglet. The boss waved his hands and said.

"You are just a scumbag. You only eat food but don't grow any meat. If you don't want it, you won't give it to me for free."

The so-called Momozha'er is the smallest piglet in a litter. Because he can't get food or is a picky eater, he grows up to be the smallest.

There is a local saying: If you raise pigs, you cannot raise pigs, and if you want to marry a wife, you cannot marry an old girl.

The so-called old girl is the old girl in the family. Generally, the family is more accustomed to it, and they are worried that they are lazy and lazy.

"I still have to get the remaining one, so why don't you just pay the two of them?"

It’s not easy to sell pigs, so Liu Qingshan still gave him an estimate of three yuan. The basic price is similar to other piglets.

In the end, four big baskets were left. Gather the black and white piglets into the four big baskets and ask the vendor to help carry them to the carriage.

The boss uncle had to hold each piglet by its hind legs with his own hands, lift it up and put it into the basket, and also scratch the piglet's chin.

He didn't mind it being dirty, so after scratching, he rubbed it twice on his pants, and then continued to catch the piglets.

The piglets didn't know what was going on at first and thought they were going to be stabbed. They screamed miserably each and every one of them, and the shrill sound spread throughout the market.

It wasn't until he felt so good being scratched by the boss's uncle that he stopped whining.

A total of fifty-two piglets cost less than two hundred yuan, which is really not expensive.

The owner of the car also smiled cheerfully: "It's very hot today. We have to go back quickly. We can buy two steamed buns and use them as cushions on the road."

So I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and pulled out Gao Wenxue, who was purchasing. When I passed by the door of the post and telecommunications office, Yang Hongying happened to come out after making a phone call.

A phone call lasted several hours.

It's not that the phone call takes a long time, but the waiting time is long. The first time you call, the other party has to go and call someone. The second time you call is the real caller.

Liu Qingshan went to the commune canteen to buy food, and there happened to be vegetable buns for sale, so he bought ten and everyone shared them.

With a little rest in their stomachs, Liu Qingshan, Gao Wenxue, and Yang Hongying slowly strolled behind the carriage. There was really no place to sit in the carriage.

There is a pulverizer in the middle and four baskets at the four corners. They are connected to the pulverizer with hemp ropes to prevent them from falling off due to bumps on the road.

Liu Qingshan asked Yang Hongying: "Teacher Yang, how much did the phone calls cost? The village is responsible for reimbursement."

These days, making phone calls is really expensive, costing several cents a minute, and there are charges in both directions.

A phone call basically costs several yuan, not to mention that Yang Hongying's call may be an international long distance call, which is even more expensive and makes people feel heartbroken.

"I don't have much money. My friend from the island country is studying in the capital. She has to contact her country. It will take a few days to get news. I will call her next week."

Yang Hongying had a cheerful temperament. She lived and ate in Liu Shikui's house for free these days, and she didn't want anything for the money and the old couple.

Occasionally, when Liu Qingshan’s family would cook something delicious, such as frying matsutake mushrooms or something, she would be called, so of course she couldn’t charge for the phone bill.

Liu Qingshan stopped being pretentious: "Well, I'll treat you to a big dinner when I go home. My brother-in-law bought meat today, and also bought two hares. I'll go back and smoke them."

The three people were walking and chatting behind, when they saw the large carriage in front of them jolted violently, and then, a basket containing piglets swayed a few times and rolled down from the carriage.

Liu Qingshan yelled, "There are forests of vegetation and wolves on both sides of this road. The piglets ran very fast and got into the forest. Where can I find them?"
