Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

The man standing in the middle of the cage looked at Liu Xiaolu and the other children, then looked at Liu Hao, and finally asked Liu Hao politely: "Sir, do you want to buy some rabbits? These rabbits of mine are all wild, just caught. Look at how lively these rabbits are. They're perfect for roasting and eating."

"How much do you sell rabbits for?"

"Eight cents a pound, a rabbit weighs about three to four pounds, how about two?"

The man opened the cage, lifted the rabbit by the scruff of the neck, and showed it to Liu Hao from left to right.

Liu Hao saw that the rabbits were indeed alive and had no injuries, so he could take them back to Uncle Renyi to see if he could keep them. If not, he could just kill them and eat them. So he said, "I want all six rabbits. Can you give me this cage?"

When the man heard this, he thought that there was nothing valuable about the cage. Such a cage would only cost a penny at the market, and every household would know how to make one. He immediately nodded and agreed: "Sure, sure. I'll weigh it for you right away."

The man weighed the whole cage first, then put the rabbit into another empty cage and weighed another one. The man was quite good at calculating, and it seemed that he often sold things: "The cage is 25 catties and 3 ounces, and the cage is 1 catty and 2 ounces. Even if you weigh 24 catties, the total is 192 coins."

While paying, Liu Hao asked, "Boss, do you have any other kids at home?"

"Yes, there are chicks in this cage. They were sold out this morning. Sir, do you want to raise them at home?"

"Yes, we fled famine and settled here. We don't have good farmland, so we want to raise more chickens at home. We can go to the mountains to cut grass and feed them. They can lay eggs and sell meat to make a living."

The man also knew the situation in previous years. Their business was not as good as before. Every household was tightening their belts. They hatched fewer chicks. One reason was that the eggs had to be sold for money, and the other was that fewer people were killing chickens for meat, so fewer people were buying chicks.

This year he also tried to hatch them, but he didn't expect to sell them all: "Oh, so that's how it is. The purchase price of eggs in the past two years has been higher than usual. Your idea is still a good one. Hens can lay eggs, and you can go to major restaurants and houses to ask for roosters. The demand is still quite large."

"Thank you for the reminder, boss. Can you sell me some chicks?"

"Oh, I was so busy talking about other things that I forgot about this. How many do you want? I'll come to sell them on any 1st, 4th, or 7th of the month as long as I have chickens ready to be slaughtered."

Liu Hao thought about it for a while. He finally found a family that specialized in hatching chicks. He couldn't miss it. "Boss, which village are you from? If I buy chicks from you for a long time, you can sell them directly to us, so you don't have to go to the market and wait."

"I'm from Wuqing Village, which is not far from the East City Gate. So even though it costs a penny to enter the city, I always come to the city to sell things. I only go to the town once in a while. The other four villages in our town are much farther away. People from there sell things closer to the town, so we don't compete with them for business."

"That's great. I live in Xiushui Village, Kaoshan Town, which is also close to the county town. How about this, you have sold out your stuff, I will take you to our shop, and when you have chicks, you can send them to the shop. This way it will be convenient for both of us."

When the man heard that they had a shop in town, he looked at him differently. He was indeed not an ordinary farmer. He nodded happily and said, "Okay, I'll pack up and leave right away."

As the man was packing, he said, "How should I address you, sir? My last name is Tian, ​​and I am the fourth child in my family. People in the village call me Tian Lao Si."

"Brother Tian, ​​my name is Liu Hao, and everyone in my family calls me Haozi."

Tian Laosi saw that Liu Hao was indeed much younger than him and was also a generous person, so he shouted directly: "Brother Haozi, I will trouble you from now on."

When Liu Hao brought Tian Laosi to the Malatang shop, Tian Laosi was even more shocked. It turned out that this brother Liu Hao was the owner of the popular Malatang shop in the county.

Judging from his appearance, he was either a servant or the master of the house. Liu Hao did not take Tian Laosi to the front shop, but brought him to the back door: "Sister Caixia..."

"Haozi, you're back. What's this?"

"This is Fourth Brother Tian. His family specializes in hatching chicks. I have ordered him to send the hatched chicks to our shop."

"Okay, I'll send it over when I have it. Have you discussed the payment method with him? Should I pay him every time he comes, or should I register and pay him once a month?"

Tian Lao Si did not wait for Liu Hao to answer and said directly: "It's okay, it's okay to settle it once a month. I don't need to trouble Madam to settle it every time."

"Okay, I'll tell everyone at home then, so they don't have to call me every time. They just need to record the amount delivered each time."

"Ok, Ok……"

Seeing that they had almost finished talking, Liu Hao thought of the piglets and asked casually, "Fourth Brother Tian, ​​if there are other piglets, you can send them over. But since we want more, can you give us a lower price?"

"That's right, chicks usually cost six cents each, so I'll charge you five cents each. There are several families raising sows in our village. They are all pregnant recently. If you need them, you can place an order in advance. There are not many sows, so there is no problem selling piglets. I'm not thinking about chickens and ducklings. As long as conditions permit, they can be hatched."

Liu Caixia didn't know what the current situation of Liu's father's breeding farm was like. It was mainly because they were too busy and didn't have much time to pay attention to the affairs of the village. When she heard that the piglets were pretty good, she took the initiative to express her concern. "Then I'll have to trouble Fourth Brother Tian to help introduce some. We all need piglets. We don't have good farmland at home, so we can only think of other ways to make a living. There are many people in our family. Even though our shop is doing well, there are thirty or forty people in the family who need to eat. Alas."

"Madam is right. Every family has its own difficulties. I'll go home and ask around for you. If it can be sold right away, I think they'll be willing to do it. But the price may not be much cheaper."

Liu Caixia thought about it again. In order to win over Tian Laosi and for long-term development, she thought, "Brother Tian Si, you are not in a hurry to go home now, right? Let's sit in the room for a while."

"Haozi, raising chickens on our farm is definitely a long-term business. We can discuss a longer-term cooperation with Brother Tian Si."

Liu Hao also understood what Liu Caixia meant, and took Tian Laosi to the main hall, "Brother Tian, ​​thank you for telling us so much. Let's sit for a while and talk about long-term cooperation."

Tian Laosi also understood that they wanted to thank him for introducing the piglets. "Don't be so polite. This is a mutually beneficial thing."

Finally, Liu Caixia made an agreement with Tian Laosi that as long as she had chicks, she could collect them all year round and she would collect as many as she could.

Although they can hatch by themselves, it is not a big problem. Liu Caixia originally wanted to invite Tian Laosi to work in the breeding farm, but she thought that he has skills and earns a lot of money every month. If the salary is too low, he will definitely not be willing to come.
