NOVEL NEXT Chapter 87 Selling Watermelon
"Mom, it's already May. Is there any sage grass still growing? Is it getting old?" Su Anxin looked around the field ridge, but couldn't see any sage grass.
I couldn't find any, either the old ones were blooming, or they were just sprouting up.
"Let's take a look and try your luck. If you come back earlier, you can still have it."
"After the Tomb-Sweeping Day, there aren't many sageweed left, so some can only grow when the weather is cool."
The old lady put Su Hanlin down and held her little hand.
"Grandma, let's go!" Su Hanlin took the old lady's hand and walked into a bamboo forest, with the gurgling stream ringing in her ears.
Waves of cool wind blew through the bamboo forest. When I walked into the bamboo forest, I saw many little things popping up, moving here and jumping there.
The third sister-in-law and Su Anxin followed the old lady, "Mom, where are we going?"
"Little sister, you may not understand this. Ever since Hanlin could walk, she would take us into the woods from time to time, and we could find a lot of good things." Xie Lianhua knew that her niece was planning to take her again. They went hunting.
There were a lot of bamboo rats in the bamboo forest. Xie Lianhua took note of the route and asked the boss to catch two of them when he turned around.
Bamboo rats are a good thing for children. They strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and strengthen yang, and are especially effective in treating bedwetting in children.
The children at home are getting older, but the bedwetting problem has not diminished. She has to wash the mattress two or three times a month.
"Slow down, Hanlin, this path is not easy to walk on, so grandma should carry you."
Su Hanlin was also happy. She had already found an open space in the forest and moved the watermelons out. She could make a lot of money by selling watermelons this season.
There are also peaches, apples, bananas and the like.
She really wanted her family to have a small house in the town, but in this era, urban and rural household registration was not so flexible.
If you want to have an urban household registration, there are two ways. The first is that you have to have a job in the city. The second is that if you marry someone from the city, your rural household registration will become an urban household registration, and accordingly you can Now I can enjoy the perks of urban household registration.
At this time, the houses did not have the right to buy or sell, and they were all assets belonging to the collective state.
Therefore, we have to find a way. The first thing is to have money in the family. Money can make people go around.
A burst of melon fragrance fills the tip of the nose.
"I think I smell peaches."
"There is also the smell of watermelon, I can smell it too." Su Anxin remembers the fragrance of watermelon very clearly.
After coming out of the bamboo forest, my vision became extraordinarily spacious and bright. In front of me was a patch of green, with watermelons lying on the ground like dinosaur eggs.
There are also peach and apple trees next to it.
"Where can the watermelon come from this season?" Su Anxin looked at the scene in front of her in surprise. She really didn't expect to see watermelon.
The scene in front of me was contrary to common sense, but everything seemed to be in order.
None of the people came close, but a group of wild boars and a large family of more than a dozen people arrived in the melon field.
Wild boars are notoriously ferocious.
Su Hanlin did not expect that in one night, the melon field would attract a group of wild boars, and they seemed to be entrenched in the melon field.
Not wanting to leave at all, Huo Huo drank a lot of watermelon.
"So many wild boars, oh my God."
"Mom, there are so many wild boars. I can't help it. I'll go. The wild boar's nose is just like a dog's nose. When it smells human scent, it comes to us." Xie Lianhua was also very moved.
But with so many wild boars in front of us, there was really nothing we could do.
"Ask the men at home to come over and bring the shotguns, isn't Lao Wu back?
A sharpshooter is better than the boss's infallible hands. "Mrs. Su was very distressed, but she also felt that these wild boars were a windfall.
If these wild boars are killed, they can at least get a house worth ten thousand yuan.
Things on the mountain were left to the men at home, quietly.
All the children at home were playing outside the door, covering for them, and they cooperated very well.
Boil hot water, pot after pot, and bring it in from the backyard.
The Su family was only responsible for hunting wild boars, so Su Hanlin helped by transporting wild boars through the air.
With the back door closed, no one knows they are killing pigs.
"Oh my God, there are so many wild boars. How long will it take to kill them? I have another busy day today."
"If it weren't for others to know, I would really want to go out and howl. What a huge advantage we have taken."
"I'm not surprised." Mrs. Su glanced at her.
"You have to go to town later to sell the wild boar.
Now that the weather is hot, the wild boar cannot be kept alive, and our family cannot eat so much. "
After just a trip in the morning, Manager Hu saw people from the Su family again in the afternoon and thought the amount was wrong.
I quickly went out to greet him.
"What's wrong? Is it the money?"
"It's not that the money is wrong. We shot some wild boars in the back mountain at noon. Can you eat them here?"
"How many wild boars? How many are there? Let me take a look first.
Ouch, so many? Are you guys serving this wild boar to the whole family? "
"It's just good luck. You can cook it all in one pot, so you don't have to go back and harm the crops." Old man Su said something and laughed.
“I can’t sell so much this day, I can eat two pigs on my head.
In this way, I have a relationship with the meat factory. Why don't you send the remaining wild boars to the meat factory? "
"That's great. There are so many wild boars. I still have five or six at home."
"You guys... are so lucky. I'm going to make a call now." Manager Hu's wife worked in the meat factory, so she called her.
His wife gave him a direct lesson, "What are you waiting for now? Hurry up and have the meat delivered.
You don’t even know how difficult it is to raise pigs in the countryside now. The prices for taking them back are so high, and the pigs can’t be sold for much, so we still have to help deal with them.
There simply isn’t enough meat to sell in the market. Didn't I just tell you a few days ago? "
……
A total of 15 wild boars and a whole family entered the meat processing plant.
Old Man Su was hunched over, and he didn't dare to stand up straight under his arms.
It was a huge sum of money, more than 6,000 yuan. The old man was extremely excited on this day.
I have never received so much money before, I am at the peak of my life.
The two brothers were also cautious, looking to the side from time to time.
The purchase is in large quantities, so the price will be lower than what is on the market, but I am still satisfied.
"Dad, with so much money, we can get a household registration in the city."
"Don't worry, the money hasn't come out yet, so just give it out, don't you feel bad?
We will have to discuss the matter of urban household registration later. After all, this is a big deal, and it is not something you can just talk about. "Old man Su was holding the money, feeling a little distressed.
"Let's go to the agricultural machinery factory again to sell the watermelons.
This melon costs five yuan a piece, which is more expensive than meat. If someone makes a counter-offer, just say you won't sell it.
The big one costs ten yuan, the small one costs five yuan, do you understand? "
"Dad, this big-headed one only weighs five or six pounds. Isn't ten yuan too expensive?"
"Lao Liu said, this melon is very rare. It can be sold for more than ten yuan each in big cities outside."
"Dad, how about we sell it by the pound, eight cents per pound, and we won't lose money."
“I think Lao Er’s idea is a good one, as others sell it by the pound.
I've never heard of selling by the piece. "
