After staying in Shangshui Village for half a morning, Lao Zhou was not in a hurry to leave, so he ate here at noon, just like some workers who worked in the village. On a low stone wall, chat and eat while basking in the sun.

This is the first month of the first lunar month, and the big guys work for him in Shangshui Village every day, which is not easy. Of course, Lao Zhou can't neglect them in terms of food. Although it is rare to eat pork from their farm, the vegetables There is absolutely no shortage of chicken, duck and fish in the market.

On this day, Lao Zhou brought a tricycle with buns and steamed buns to Shangshui Village. Before he set off, he told the people in the courtyard that he would kill two chickens and send them to Shangshui Village together with the vegetables of the day.So these workers were lucky again today. Lu Jinshan cooked a big pot of stew with these two chickens.

"Boss, I heard that the rice in our farm is very good, so let us try it some other day." A young man in his early twenties took a spoon and stirred up the rice in the rice bowl, and then gulped. He dug and ate with a spoon, and there was a bowl of big bone radish soup on the wall next to it, which he picked up from time to time, and sipped it, full of peasant posture.

"When you get married someday, I'll give you a few catties." Lao Zhou poked around in the rice bowl with a spoon, and there were no two pieces of chicken. Lu Jinshan obviously didn't take special care of him just because he was the boss.

"That's going to be difficult. We have serious yang and yin decline here. Where can I find it?"

"Why not? When you're not working, go to our town for a walk more often. The young man looks good and he will have a chance." Lao Zhou encouraged him.

"If you talk about our town, you can see some fresh faces in your breakfast shop, especially on Saturdays and Sundays. I heard that there are more handsome men and beautiful women."

"Does it have to be from outside? Are the girls in our town not bad?"

"If it takes a long time, what will the boys in your town do in the future?"

"What are you afraid of? Only when there is competition can there be progress."

"Old Zhou, I didn't say that, you are too stingy. There are so many people, you only give two chickens. Look, how many bites of meat can each person eat?"

"I only have three yuan here, and one of them is a chicken neck."

"I have a chicken ass here."

"Do you dare to eat chicken butt?"

"I haven't tried it."

"Why don't you give it to me?"

"No."

"Haha, I have a big piece of chicken thigh here."

"Let me see, hey, hey, it's really big!"

"You boy, did you secretly pass cigarettes to Old Lu?"

"If you want me to say, with so many of us, how can two chickens be enough? At least double the amount, don't you think?"

"yes!!!"

"It's good to have something to eat, but it's too little. Do you know how much the chicken in our village sells for a catty? Our catty is enough to buy someone else's. Don't look at just these two pieces of chicken, replace it with an outside Yes, that’s just a bowl, eat it well, the concentrated essence is all there.” Lao Zhou took a bite of the chicken and scooped out a spoonful of rice, not to mention, the more people there are, the appetite will be good, why not eat? fragrant.

"You should say it this way." An uncle next to him took out a piece of chicken from his rice bowl: "Our piece of chicken is worth at least five yuan, and if I take one bite, I will be worth five bites?"

"That's right, that's what happened." Lao Zhou pointed with a spoon, indicating that what he said was very true.

"Oh mother, it's a good thing it wasn't when I didn't have enough to eat. Otherwise, where would I cry if I met someone like our old Zhou?"

"Hahaha!" Everyone on the wall and under the wall laughed together.

"Boss, it's not me who said, why don't you give the little rooster in our village a goose? It may grow long after it's done. If you still take two chickens from us at that time, each of you may return it." I can eat an extra piece of meat." Lu Jinshan said at this time.

"Golding chicken?" Romon had indeed heard this saying before. In order to let the livestock grow more meat, they were eunuchs early on. Like the lambs he bought before, they were divided into development sheep and commercial sheep. The commercial sheep, In fact, it was castrated.

"No, if this rooster passes the gelding, it will be honest. It will eat and grow meat every day. It will not have those flowery intestines. It has grown so big that it can help take care of chickens. It is not even afraid of eagles." Speaking of This guinea pig, Lu Jinshan is also well-informed.

"There are no eagles on this mountain now, and even if there were, I wouldn't be afraid. The hens in our village are very powerful, especially those that have been raised for two or three years. Hey, you haven't seen them. I saw them in the fruit forest a few days ago. A small hole was dug in the ground, and a small snake hibernating in it was picked out and eaten." Speaking of this, Lao Zhou felt quite proud.

"So powerful?" The workers all held their rice bowls and listened with gusto.

"Hey, it's amazing, and the rooster is even more amazing. If you don't know each other, dare to go to our village and try to catch two chickens?" Lao Zhou also has a deep understanding of this, he is still the owner, He was also chased before, but now if there is no Yaya Dabao, Lao Zhou would not dare to go alone to catch chickens in broad daylight.

"I said, look at this chicken bone, it's so hard that you can't bite it. It's not like the one I bought in the city before. It's soft and crumbles in one bite."

"The color is also clean, look at the color of the chicken leg bone, it's snow white."

"Oh, just less."

"Old Lu's idea is good. Otherwise, my boss, let's learn from others, right?"

"Golden chicken?" Lao Zhou thought for a while and said, "Forget it."

"Why?" Everyone couldn't figure it out.

"It's pretty good as it is now, not that bad."

Every time I see my own chickens on the mountain, all of them are very energetic. After the roosters grow up, they start to be dishonest. They dig out some worms and earthworms in the ground, and they refuse to eat them. To show off, to attract the attention of those hens, in the end, the little food will naturally fall into the hens' stomachs.

If there were no such dramas in the chicken flock, what would it be like? Romon couldn't imagine now anyway, he thought the current situation was pretty good, and he didn't really want to change it.

"Tsk, Lao Zhou is feeling sorry for their rooster, right?"

"I look like it."

"If you ask me, goose chickens are a bit inhumane."

"Then it's inhumane for you to eat chicken."

"The pigs we raise have always been raped."

"Yeah, otherwise it's not easy to get fat."

"Don't look at our old Zhou who is very picky, but his heart is soft."

"What's so soft? Besides, who said I picked it?" These words are true, the first half sentence plus the second half sentence, none of them can be heard.

"Then why don't you bring two more chickens next time." Everyone said.

"Hey, it's a good idea." Old Zhou hummed.

After eating lunch and basking in the sun for a while, everyone yawned and went back to their dormitory for lunch break one after another. Luo Meng checked the time and rode a tricycle out of Shangshui Village. That's right, people's hearts are also quite unified, and he feels relieved after seeing it.

When Luo Meng returned to the courtyard, Chen Jianhua was taking a bamboo chair and sitting under the wall to bask in the sun and take a nap. When this guy first came to Niuwangzhuang, he had a sickly yellow face, but now he is growing really well, with a healthy complexion. Quite a few, plus he was born well, with a good temperament, a bit gentle and gentle, so he is very popular in Niuwangzhuang.

Chen Guanshi was sitting under the wall and taking a nap. In the corridor opposite, a few girls were taking sneak shots with their cameras. There was also a post dedicated to Chen Jianhua on the Tongcheng Forum. Girls will post photos to that post for friends to exchange and share.

Last time, Luo Meng and the others heard about this by accident, so they went to the forum to have a look. At that time, Chen Jianhua was there, and there were all kinds of photos there. Some of them were Chen Guanshi talking to Lao Zhou, and some of Chen Jianhua was having a meal. , there is Chen Guanshi who is sucking snails from the mountain, and there is Chen Guanshi who is holding a stack of forms and gossiping with the old people...

Chen Jianhua looked at it, silently used his mobile phone to surf the Internet, registered an account on the Tongcheng Forum, and the ID was "Chen Guanshi's", and then he left a message under the photo of himself sucking snails, saying: "This photo is too ugly, delete it. Alright." The lord appeared, causing the big and small girls in the jar to be excited for a long time.

In less than half an hour, the photo that hindered Chen Guanshi's image was deleted, but it was not deleted in vain. The condition was that Chen Jianhua would provide a photo of himself when he was a teenager. It was also sent to the forum, and a bunch of female friends below responded to the post, shouting "handsome".

"Hey, boss." Seeing that Lao Zhou had moved a few empty baskets off the tricycle, and then stepped on the cart to leave again, Chen Jianhua quickly stopped him.

"What's the matter?" Romon asked while sitting on the tricycle.

"Wait a minute." Chen Guanshi wiped the corners of his mouth, seeing that there was no saliva left, he smiled at the smiling girls in the opposite corridor who were shaking their cameras at him, and took a piece of A4 paper from the side to Lao Zhou .

"What is this?" Romon reached out and took it.

"After fifteenth, the list of villagers who want to sell vegetables in our supermarket." Chen Jianhua said.

"Oh, so much?" Selling vegetables at the grain drying farm in the village is also very good, and my supermarket still pays a commission, and those people in the village are not happy to spend that money. I didn't expect it to be quite a lot.

"The specific work will be arranged by the senior manager anyway, you know." After all, it is the boss.

"All right, thank you for your hard work." Lao Zhou smiled, folded the paper, stuffed it in his pocket, started the car and left.

The villagers of Dawan Village have earned some money now, and they are more willing than before. What’s the point of a three-point commission? They put the vegetables in Luomeng’s supermarket to sell, mainly for the sake of peace of mind. Pick the vegetables in the evening and morning, bundle them up one by one, and put a price tag on them. At that time, just put them on the shelves of Lao Zhou’s house, and you don’t need to worry about anything. At that time, no matter how much food each household sold, they would not lose a penny.

Selling vegetables like this saves you a lot of worry, you don't have to bargain with people, and you don't have to be picked and picked. Maybe after deducting three points, they can earn more than they usually do.As for paying for the goods once a month, there is nothing to worry about. The old Zhou family is now a big business. Not to mention contracting such a large barren hill, they have also built high-rise buildings in the town and opened a supermarket. They are still growing mushrooms now. Shangshui Village, which was originally deserted, has become lively again after being manipulated by him like this. How can a family like this cheat their food money?

Lao Zhou rode his tricycle back to his hut. As soon as he stopped the car, he looked up and saw Hua Hua was hiding in a hidden place on the stone wall next to his house, staring at the few sparrows in the bushes.

"You don't eat them, why catch them?" Old Zhou Zhou walked over in two steps, reached out and grabbed the back of Huahua's neck and lifted it up. This girl is getting bigger now, and she is gradually showing wildness. I don't know why. The thing is, he loves catching birds very much, and he won't eat them even if he catches them, so he has to go back and find Houwazi to show off. Houwazi really likes birds, and this guy just likes to do this kind of thing to stimulate him.

"Meow!" Huahua stretched her teeth and claws in mid-air.

"You try to grab one?" Romon smiled. Although Huahua's nails were cut, they were not completely cut. A few days ago, when Romon was helping her take a bath, she accidentally scratched her again. Shulin didn't say anything when he saw it, and directly took over the bathing work of the lynx, and scrubbed it in the basin.

"Gulu Gulu..." Huahua had nothing to do with him, so she obediently lowered her paws and pretended to be dead.

In the room, Xiao Shulin was sitting at the table making walnut carvings, and Houwazi was squatting on the table, stretching his neck to watch, and rubbing the two walnuts in his hand while watching.

Xiao Shulin heard the commotion outside, turned his head to look at the wall clock on the wall, rubbed his neck again, smiled and said to Houwazi: "It's blocking the light."

"Huh." Listening, Houwazi obediently moved a few steps to the side.

"Son, Paba is back, let's see what Paba brought you this time?" Romon's voice quickly came from the door.

"What is it?" Houwazi turned his head and asked.

"This." Lao Zhou first put Huahua on the sofa, and then took off a plastic bag under his arm.

"What is it?" Xiao Shulin couldn't help but also asked.

"The fungus bags are all processed, just wait for the mushrooms to grow." Lao Zhou put the plastic bag on the table, opened the bag, and there were indeed several fungus bags inside. The material package that has been inoculated can now see many white hyphae inside through the plastic bag.

"How do you do this?" Xiao Shulin had never touched this thing before, and it seemed quite new to him now.

"Put it in a dark place, just pay attention to the humidity and temperature." Now that he brought these fungus bags back, Lao Zhou must have asked Chen Gang how to get them.

"Just leave it like this?"

"It's like this at the beginning. When the hyphae inside are full, the opening needs to be opened a little."

"How long does it take to grow?"

"It will take about ten days."

"Water it?" Houwazi asked.

"Not yet."

"Where?"

"Well...let's put it next to the fireplace." The warmest place in their house is next to the fireplace. If the humidity is not enough, they have to spray more water.

Hearing that mushrooms would grow in these bags, Houwazi was also full of anticipation. He looked back and forth many times this afternoon, and Romon was very happy to see that he liked it.

Since the child moved into the new room, his personality has become much more cheerful than before. I don't know if it's because he likes the new room very much, or because he has his own territory in this house.To be honest, Lao Zhou also felt a little regretful. Before, he blindly wanted to let the monkey get used to it slowly, but he never thought about what the child was thinking. What did sleeping upstairs and sleeping by the fireplace represent to him? .

On the courtyard side, an old man was standing not far outside the courtyard training their big dog.

"Let's talk about it, we have to be obedient for a while."

"Woo!" The big dog wagged its tail vigorously.

"You can't run around, you have to follow me obediently."

"Wow!"

"If you are disobedient later, we won't come next time."

"Woo! Woo!"

This person and one dog, isn’t it the old man Wang and their family Sanmao in the town? It’s really not easy for old man Wang to raise this retired military dog. They say that the dog is old, but it’s still very energetic. It’s just a walk every day. Dogs can take away the lazy tendons that old man Wang used to have on his body.

These two days, Sanmao is not in a good mood. The reason is that the kindergarten is on holiday, and Luo Meng doesn't take the monkey to the town to play. It put its front legs on the railing and stretched its head to look in. Unfortunately, no matter how it looked, the kindergarten was deserted.

Sanmao is in a bad mood, he doesn't eat well, and he doesn't jump around when he is walking. Follow it to Niuwangzhuang.

After the discussion between the person and the dog, old man Wang led Sanmao to the yard.

"Woof!" Sanmao stood at the gate of the courtyard, so beautiful that it was only bubbling. What kind of paradise is this!Sure enough, seeing and smelling are still two different things after all.

I saw that the courtyard is busy at the moment, and there are two sheds when you enter the door. One side is cooking delicious hot bean curd, and the other side is frying melon seeds. When you go in, a group of people have set up a long table under the sun. Kneading the noodles, cutting the steamed buns, the room is filled with white bursts, with a strong corn fragrance, floating far away, and there are many dried sweet potatoes on the shelf in the yard. Dried pumpkin, Fatty Hou even moved a stove to cook tea eggs in the yard this day, the smell...

"Yo, old Wang, why are you here?"

"Hey, they're all Sanmao, and they want to play with Houwazi."

"The relationship between the two is really good, you say."

"That's right, I've been bored watching it do anything for the past two days. I always go to kindergarten, so I brought it here after thinking about it."

"Lao Zhou and the others are all in their hut right now, not in the courtyard."

"Where is that?"

"Go along the creek below, and you will be there in a short time."

"Hey, thank you."

"Thank you, Lao Wang, if you have nothing to do, come here to work with us in the future?"

"talk later."

Lao Zhou asked the old people in the town to work here. No matter how old they were or how healthy they were, they were given food and wages. In the eyes of many people, this was a bit of a waste of money to do good deeds. , Although no one knows whether he made a profit or a loss by doing this, but some old people with decent family conditions in the town and thin-skinned old people are still not ashamed to come here.

After inquiring clearly about the location of Lao Zhou's hut, Old Man Wang pulled their big dog, but it couldn't be pulled, and it still couldn't be pulled.

"Sanmao is gone." Old man Wang called it.

"Woo!" Sanmao sat upright and majestic at the gate of the courtyard, not moving.

"Houboy is not here." Old man Wang said again.

"Woo!" Sanmao looked serious, but still didn't move.
