portable space

Zhang Taiping didn't sleep all night, but it didn't affect his spirit at all.

After feeding the goats, the east side had turned white, so Zhang Taiping did not enter the house again for fear of disturbing Cai Yazhi's rest. This was the lightest time of sleep for people, and the slightest movement would wake them up.

Standing by the lake and practicing sword skills, although sword skills are no longer used in this era, Zhang Taiping regards this as a cultural heritage and part of the national essence. It would be a pity if it is lost. When the time comes, he can find a legacy

Word of mouth is the best thing.

When Zhang Taiping finished his work, Cai Yazhi had already gotten up and was grabbing a handful of wheat and spreading it on the ground to feed the chickens. Although they are free-range chickens, it is best to feed them one or two handfuls of wheat or corn every day. The rest of the time

They are all eating outside by themselves.

The eggs laid by such hens are not only large but also of high nutritional value, and can even lay eggs with double yolks. People in rural areas do not understand what nutrition is and what is not nutritious, but beaten eggs with double yolks are real, so this

Feeding chickens has become a tradition.

After jumping and pecking at the wheat grains on the ground, a group of little hens headed towards the foot of the mountain, led by the big rooster with its head held high. They wouldn't run too far, they were nearby, and the hens would lay eggs at night.

When the time comes, it will run back and automatically jump into the nest.

The ducks can already go into the water, which means that the environment and climate for raising ducks and chickens have arrived, and it is time to buy chickens and ducklings. There happened to be a big market in the town today, and Zhang Taiping was going to buy chickens.

So Zhang Taiping didn't ask Cai Yazhi to cook breakfast carefully, but steamed a bowl of egg custard for everyone in boiling water. The situation at home now is completely different from before. Cai Yazhi doesn't have to pick up the eggs one by one and sell them in the village outside.

If you save money for a day, no one will be able to share an egg.

Making egg custard is simple. You only need to crack the eggs into an enamel bowl, add some salt and water and mix well. Then add two drops of clear oil on top and put it in the water to steam. When the water in the pot boils, turn off the heat.

, it will be ready after a while. Take out the enamel bowl and there is no need for any other extra seasonings, just pour a little soy sauce on it. It tastes fresh and tender, extremely delicious, and is a rare breakfast.

After everyone had eaten egg custard for a night, Cai Yazhi gave Xing Rushui an explanation and asked her to cook lunch. Xing Rushui had lived in the Zhang family for such a long time and was familiar with everything, especially when Cai Yazhi was busy or away.

She is here to cook. Not only is her craftsmanship not the usual poor craftsmanship of young ladies, but it is actually very good, even worse than Cai Yazhi.

Fan Ming also wanted to go with her, but it was impossible. During this time, the old man was treating her with acupuncture and pharmacology to treat strange diseases. She could not stay away from her or come into contact with too many different people.

When the two of them rode their motorcycles through the town, the market was already bustling with activity. Of course, the liveliness could not be compared with the market in the twelfth lunar month.

The crowds on the street were not as busy as they were back then. Everyone was looking at this and that leisurely.

Zhang Taiping and Cai Yazhi stored their motorcycles at a bicycle and motorcycle storage place and went out on the streets to a limited extent.

Zhang Taiping took Cai Yazhi's hand, and Cai Yazhi struggled slightly. Unexpectedly, Zhang Taiping knew that she would react this way, so he held on tightly. He didn't break away, so he just accepted his fate and Zhang Taiping was holding him. It just felt like

Not like an old married couple, my heart beats a little faster, I always feel like passers-by on the street are looking at me, almost burying my head in my chest.

"It's okay, don't you see there are people holding hands over there?" Seeing that she was so embarrassed even holding hands on the street, Zhang Taiping gave her an example to dispel her inner discomfort and at the same time transfer it.

Pay attention.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Cai Yazhi raised her head and looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Taiping. She saw a couple holding hands and walking on the street. No people on the street had any strange opinions, so she felt relieved a little.

The two of them did not rush into the streets selling poultry and livestock, but strolled slowly on the streets. It was still early, enjoying this public intimacy like first love.

Cai Yazhi didn't have extra money to buy things before, and she didn't develop the habit of lavish spending. Now she has money, but she can't change her frugal qualities for a while. After walking around the street for so long, she just sees more and buys less.

, the most I can do is buy some cheap things.

Zhang Taiping did not force her to spend money. Frugality is not a bad habit. It is not easy for a person to maintain the previous frugality under the strong contrast between extreme poverty in the early period and extreme wealth in the later period. Zhang Taiping did not want to change anything, but wanted her to

You can always remain who you are now, kind and know how to take care of your family.

Spring is also the time when all kinds of saplings, flowers and trees are on sale. The two first went to the neighborhood where these things are sold.

The whole street was filled with all kinds of saplings and flowers. Zhang Taiping and his wife just walked by and took a look without paying for anything.

Zhang Taiping had other plans in mind. The space needed a variety of different species to fill the natural system. To expand the area of ​​land, he couldn't buy it now, otherwise it would be difficult to explain where the things he bought were gone, and he would be the only one.

Only then can you buy it.

Passing through the neighborhood where saplings are sold, you will arrive at a place where livestock and poultry are sold.

As soon as I entered the place, the first thing I heard was the chirping of chickens. There were more than twenty bamboo baskets placed in a row, and they were filled with chickens. There were a dozen stores selling chickens in this section.

Only chickens will sell the fastest during this period, and other livestock are not in peak season during this period.

Zhang Taiping cannot tell the good or bad qualities of chickens, so using space to sense them is even more nonsense. Chickens are no more intelligent than puppies or other intelligent animals, let alone whether they can sense spiritual beings, even if they do.

So one, and today he had to buy more than 500 at his own request. One or two would not help at all. So he followed Cai Yazhi obediently and watched her carefully check and select in front of each chicken frame.

Shopping around is a tradition for most rural people when buying things, and Cai Yazhi is no exception. She first looked at the chickens in more than 20 bamboo baskets, then returned and stopped in front of a house to signal to Zhang Taiping that she could talk.

The price is up.

This stall owner is a slightly older middle-aged man. He is the only one who sits there without shouting or shouting. He holds a book in his hand and reads seriously, waiting for buyers to come to the door. It seems that he is very interested in his chickens.

Miao is very confident.

Zhang Taiping stood in front of the stall and covered the pipeline. The middle-aged man raised his head and closed the book. Zhang Taiping saw a book called "Chicken and Duck Breeding Rules".

"Looking for chickens?" The middle-aged man put down his book and stood up and asked Zhang Taiping.

"Well, let's take a look at some chickens." Zhang Taiping looked at the middle-aged man's lukewarm look and asked, "Why doesn't the boss yell? Look at the stall owners next to you selling faster than you."

The stall owner also spoke well: "Real gold is not afraid of fire, and the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Why don't you come and buy it?" After saying this, he grinned.

Zhang Taiping looked highly at the middle-aged man and asked, "How much does one of your chickens cost?"

"I believe you have seen a lot of them and made some comparisons. I'm not just bragging. My chickens are one of the best, if not the best, on the street. I set the price accordingly.

It’s two cents higher.”

Others were sold for four yuan each. Zhang Taiping asked: "Four two yuan?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Yes, of course, if you want more, the price can still be reduced appropriately."

Zhang Taiping pointed to the chicken frame and asked: "Is this all you have or are there more?"

The middle-aged man realized that he might have met a big buyer. He calmed down and replied: "This is a small amount of knowledge, and I still have a lot at home. And I can guarantee that the quality at home is similar to the quality of these. I don't know what you need.

How many?"

"Five hundred."

"Five hundred. Then there are indeed not enough here. There are only one hundred here. How about you follow me to my place. The price of five hundred is the same as what is sold on the street. How about four yuan?"

Zhang Taiping said: "Okay."

The two parties discussed a meeting place, and the middle-aged man started to clean up the stall. Zhang Taiping and Cai Yazhi went to get the motorcycle. After meeting on the street, the middle-aged man rode a three-wheeled motorcycle with unsold items on it.

There were more than a hundred chickens each, and Zhang Taiping followed behind with Cai Yazhi on a motorcycle.

The middle-aged man's car stopped next to a yard in the wild. Zhang Taiping thought it was another forest garden. After entering, he found out that it was an apple orchard with five acres of land, and a large number of chickens and ducks were raised in it.

As soon as they entered the yard, they saw two big white geese twisting towards the two of them. They were shouted back by the middle-aged man's daughter-in-law, an authentic and simple rural woman.

When raised, big white geese can not only lay eggs and eat meat, but can also look after homes and courtyards. When strangers enter the yard, they will flap their wings and pounce towards them and pinch them with their flat beaks. Despite their appearance, they are docile and amiable.

, but the force of twisting the mouth on the person is not small, and a bruise will appear once you twist it.

Zhang Taiping was so happy to see the hunter that he wanted to buy some duck and goose seedlings back.

There are indeed a lot of chickens in the orchard. Zhang Taiping probably estimates that there are more than 2,000 of them. There are relatively few ducks and geese.

After ordering the chickens and putting them in the bamboo basket, Zhang Taiping did not rush to pay, but said: "How much does this duckling cost?"

The middle-aged man was even more happy when he saw that Zhang Taiping wanted to buy ducklings. He thought about it and said, "My ducklings cost six and a half yuan on the street. You came to the garden to buy them.

It's cheaper for you, six yuan each."

Zhang Taiping asked again: "What about the goose seedlings?"

"Goose seedlings, goose seedlings cost six yuan each." The main reason is that there are few people raising geese, and it is relatively difficult to raise geese, so the price of goose seedlings is relatively cheap, the same as the price of ducks.

"Then let's get another hundred ducklings and twenty gooselings." Zhang Taiping estimated the situation at home and reported the number.

After Cai Yazhi paid the money, she needed a middle-aged man to drive a pickup truck and deliver it to her home in person.
