Rebirth 78, marry Qingmei as my wife

Chapter 135 Shopping, buying puppies

Youdao is the prophet of spring water.

The country's policy has changed, and the most obvious one is this market. It used to be a pigeon market, a black market, and secretive trading.

Now, it has been acquiesced to open buying and selling.

As long as you are not speculating and selling some local products, no one will care about the eggs laid by your own chickens.

Liu Hongjun knew that next year, this small market would start charging fees, and the commune would send people to collect sanitation fees and stall fees.

We won't collect it this year because the policy is unclear and those in the commune don't dare to collect it. Once they collect it, it will mean the legalization of the market.

They don't know whether this is the right thing to do, so they adopt this default attitude and let the market develop freely.

Liu Hongjun took Yang Qiuyan and three others to the market first.

The market said that they sold mountain products and self-produced daily necessities, but in fact, it was not just these.

There are always some people who like to eat crabs and find ways to make money, so they go to the market to set up stalls and sell things.

For example, some haberdashery, second-hand pots and pans, and second-hand miniature books.

"Brother Hongjun, look where there is a dog seller!" Shitou pulled Liu Hongjun and pointed to a stall and said.

"What? You want to buy a dog?" Liu Hongjun glanced at the stall selling dogs in front of him.

He was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He was dressed like a mountain man.

This mountain people does not refer to the people in the villages, but to the natural households living in the mountains.

They are those who are unwilling to join the cooperative, or who fled from the Guan area 20 years ago. They are like Qian Shengli's second uncle, who built a shack in the mountains and lived a life of working from sunrise to daily income.

He usually makes a living by hunting and collecting herbs, and he also grows some food and vegetables near the shack.

They usually don't go out of the mountains, and occasionally go down the mountains with the furs or medicinal materials they find in exchange for some daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, or wine.

These are the real mountain people.

"Yeah, Brother Red Army, I want to buy two dogs." Shitou nodded.

"I also want to buy two dogs." Dashan also said.

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Liu Hongjun thought for a while and then said.

With mountains and rocks, he usually follows him into the mountains to hunt for sieges, and he can still afford to raise two dogs.

"Brother Red Army, you can help us pick one later." Shitou continued.

"No problem, let's go and take a look first!" Liu Hongjun nodded.

Needless to say, he will also help with the eyes.

The mountains and rocks are good for dogs, and it is also good for their hunting team.

The four people came to the mountain man's stall and found six puppies in a wattle basket.

Two black ones, two yellow ones, two black and yellow ones.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Dachun?" Liu Hongjun walked to the stall. When the middle-aged man saw someone coming, he raised his head. Only then did Liu Hongjun realize that he knew this person.

"Who are you? You look familiar."

"I am Liu Hongjun, the second son of the old Liu family." Liu Hongjun introduced himself with a smile.

"Uncle Liu's second son, I think he looks familiar. It's been two years since we last met." Niu Dachun said enthusiastically.

Father Liu's reputation is not only famous in the eighteen villages, but also among the natural households in the mountains.

The reason why Liu Hongjun knew each other was that he had seen each other before when he followed his father into the mountains for hunting, and had eaten in Niu Dachun's shack.

"Brother Dachun, how did you sell this puppy?" Liu Hongjun squatted down, stretched out his hand to pull the puppy in the basket, and asked.

"Why are you selling it? Are you not slapping me in the face?

If you like it, take it and take this basket with you! Niu Dachun glared and said unhappily.

"Brother Dachun, you misunderstood. It's not me who wants it, my friends want it. They are following me into the mountains to fight for the siege and want to raise two dogs." Liu Hongjun quickly explained.

"Your friend wants it!

What I have is just a collection of Mengxi and a generation of wolf-dogs. You can choose whatever you like. I’ll give you five yuan for two dogs! Niu Dachun suddenly realized that he quoted a low price.

"Brother Dachun, I want to thank you on behalf of my friend. I'll meet you for a drink next time I go into the mountains." When Liu Hongjun heard the price, he knew that the other party was giving him face, so he asked for such a low price.

Normally, a good puppy with a thin coat would cost five yuan.

If it is a purebred Mongolian puppy, it will cost at least 20 yuan.

This is still the current price. If it is in a few years, as the income of hunters increases, the price of puppy will rise.

It only cost a few dollars, so Liu Hongjun didn't show any humility anymore. He made a note of this favor and made up for it later.

Liu Hongjun concentrated on selecting puppies.

Liu Hongjun was not in a hurry to touch the puppies. Instead, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers on the basket to carefully observe the reactions of the six puppies.

Then he took out the puppies one by one, put them on the ground, and observed the walking movements of the six puppies.

Finally, I picked them up, one by one, and carefully observed the puppies' coat color, limbs, mouth, and teeth.

The coat should be bright and the limbs should be strong...

After some selection, Liu Hongjun picked out four puppies. There was no guarantee that they were the best, but they were definitely relatively good puppies.

"Red Army, your ability to look like a dog is really inherited from old Uncle Liu!" Niu Dachun said with a smile as he looked at the four pups selected by Liu Hongjun.

"Brother Dachun, you are so grateful. I am just being blind." Liu Hongjun said modestly.

"Come on, take your best four dogs and I won't keep the remaining two dogs. I'll give them to you after you see them!" Niu Dachun said with a smile.

"Brother Dachun, it's not yet nine o'clock. You don't have to wait any longer. The two remaining puppies are not bad and can be sold later." Liu Hongjun declined politely.

"No, I came down the mountain this time to sell my furs and buy some food, oil and salt.

Selling dogs is just a matter of convenience.

If you hold these two puppies, you will look down on your brother Da Chun. Niu Dachun insisted.

"Well, in that case, I'm not polite!" Liu Hongjun took out 30 yuan and handed it to Niu Dachun.

"What are you doing?" Niu Dachun stood up from the ground and stared.

"Brother Dachun, I want all six pups, but you have to give this basket to me." Liu Hongjun reached out and pressed Niu Dachun's shoulders and stuffed the money into his pocket.

Then he signaled to Dashan, who picked up the puppy and left among the four of them.

"Brother Dachun, stop chasing me. I'll go to your place later and give you a meal!" Liu Hongjun waved his hand and smiled at Niu Dachun who was about to catch up.

"Alas! This boy really has the same temper as his father." Niu Dachun stamped his feet and did not continue to chase. He just shouted to Liu Hongjun's back: "Red Army, next time you go into the mountains, you must come to my shack. Brother, be well." Treat you."
