After the busy summer, summer has entered. This season is really not a good season for work. After lunch, Zhang Taiping found a big tree to enjoy the cool air.

Ah Huang's cry rang out in the yard, Zhang Taiping said something, Ah Huang's voice subsided, and soon someone came over.

"The handsome man is so laid-back." The visitor couldn't help but joked when he saw Zhang Taiping's lounge chair under the tree and the Qin Opera playing on the mobile phone next to him.

The visitor's name is Wang Bing, and he usually works outside. The specific location is the "human market" in Xi'an. The so-called "human market" means that many people who come to the city to do part-time work stay in certain places in the city.

Some will also put up a sign in front of them to explain their

Craftsmanship. If people in the city need work such as demolition, building walls, moving things, delivering goods, etc., they come here to look for it. If you are lucky, you can get a good job and earn two or three hundred a day. If you are not lucky, you can make several hundred.

There was no work to do. There was no certainty, and there was no undetermined income.

Zhang Taiping didn't take Wang Bing's teasing seriously. He was different from other people of his age, but he liked Qin opera like the previous generation and liked the majesty in it. He pulled a bench from the side and asked Wang Bing to sit down first: "How do you like it?"

Are you done?"

Wang Bing was not polite. He sat down on the bench and said, "I'm done with my work. I'm done with my work. I came here mainly to ask something."

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "What's the matter?"

Wang Bing did not hesitate: "Do you think the chicken can be sold in the store?"

"Selling chickens?" Zhang Taiping suddenly realized that when he bought chickens in the spring, a total of two families bought a lot of chickens with him. One of them was Wang Bing's family. He cheered up a little and said: "Tell me about your

view."

Wang Bing was also unambiguous and began to tell: "In the beginning of spring, I also bought five hundred chickens. There are two hundred and fifty hens and two hundred and fifty roosters. Now that the hens are ready to lay eggs, there is no need to consider their whereabouts for the time being, but the two hundred

The fifty roosters have grown up, and if we keep them any longer, the gains outweigh the losses, so I came here to ask if I could send the roosters to the store to sell chickens?"

There are only a few roosters in Zhang Taiping's house, most of them are hens, so he has not considered how to deal with the roosters. After hearing Wang Bing's thoughts, he said: "The store still mainly sells fruits and vegetables, and there is nothing else except fish."

Meat, you can try it.”

Wang Bing laughed heartily and said, "Thank you, Marshal."

Zhang Taiping shook his head, thought for a while and then said: "I will contact a friend in the restaurant tomorrow to come and have a look. If he likes your chicken, then sell it to him directly. It is easier to walk in one trip than to sell it in bulk. But I also

I'm not sure that this will work. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late for you to go to the store and sell it."

"It's a good relationship. If we leave at once, we'll save a lot of trouble." Wang Bing was even more happy about the news.

After talking about the matter, Wang Bing got up and left. The two of them had no friendship, and they couldn't talk about anything when they sat together. Moreover, Wang Bing always felt a little stressed when sitting next to Zhang Taiping, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

After Wang Bing left, Zhang Taiping took out his phone and looked up Wang Yuhao's number. He was the restaurant owner who drove to the mountains to buy toon.

"Haha, Mr. Zhang, what's the matter?" Wang Yuhao said enthusiastically after answering the phone. He is a qualified businessman. He smiled before saying anything and was always kind and friendly.

Zhang Taiping didn't talk nonsense and told the story directly: "There is a family in the village who bought hundreds of chickens at the beginning of spring. They will all be raised and raised. Even if they are fed occasionally, they will be fed with corn, millet and the like.

The grain is purely natural. Now the owner wants to buy more than 200 roosters. I wonder if Brother Wang is interested?"

"Haha, why not? Brother Zhang sent me pillows while I was dozing off. I have just been planning to purchase some materials in the past two days. I will go over and take a look tomorrow." Wang Yuhao laughed heartily after hearing this.

After chatting for a while, he hung up the phone. Zhang Taiping got up and walked to the backyard. There was no sign of the red fox in the small wooden house in the corner of the yard. Zhang Taiping was not afraid that it would run away. Now its three children were in the front room.

In the hands of three girls, it is estimated that it will not leave even if someone tries to drive it away.

After stopping for a while in the backyard, I went out the back door and went to the orchard. The strawberries had been taken off the shelves, and only lush strawberry vines were left on the ground. There were only a few sporadic late-ripening cherries left on the cherry trees. The grapes were ripe.

It's still early, it's just a bunch of pearl-sized green particles, the core has not been opened, it probably doesn't even have the sour taste of sour grapes, just astringent. It's very gratifying to see the momentum of these bunches, when they are mature

At that time, one bunch must weigh two kilograms.

The purpose of Zhang Taiping's visit this time was to see the peaches. The peach branches that had been planted just a few years ago did not look lush and leafy, but the peaches on them were so big that it was eye-catching. Zhang Taiping gestured.

Take a look, the average size is the size of your own fist, and some outstanding ones are even as big as the fine porcelain flower bowls used for eating at home. I think they are not much bigger than the flat peaches in the Queen Mother's peach garden in Journey to the West.

It is now covered with fluff and has no color at all. It stands to reason that the busy summer season is over, and ordinary early-ripening peaches are almost off the shelves, but this peach from Zhang Taiping's family does not ripen a few days earlier than others like cherries.

, on the contrary, they mature several days later than other early-ripening peaches. The same is true for Song Lan's peaches. Could it be related to the climate here? Zhang Taiping couldn't help but think.

I picked one and wiped off the fine fuzz on it, took a bite and tasted it. It was juicy and watery, and the meat quality was good. Unfortunately, it had no taste, as if I was chewing a piece of radish. And there was no color on it, just a head with no color.

, just like a woman only has a figure but no beautiful appearance.

"It seems it will take a few more days." Zhang Taiping said to himself.

After coming out of the orchard, we went up to the barren mountain. Now it is covered with peach trees. It does not look like an eyesore like before, but it is still a bit monotonous. So Zhang Taiping considered building a few bamboo buildings or wooden houses on it. This would not only provide

Adding some atmosphere can also serve as a resting place for future guests. Resting in a cabin in the mountains or a bamboo house will have a unique flavor for people who are used to living in high-rise buildings.

Wang Yuhao came at around nine o'clock the next morning. This time he drove not a car but a small truck with a chicken coop on top.

The car parked in the open space in front of the village chief's house. The old village chief knew Wang Yuhao. It was this man who came to the village to buy toon last time and opened a door for everyone, especially if the old village chief bought the toon tree in his own home.

Less money.

The old village chief Suiyu was particularly enthusiastic towards him: "Mr. Wang is here again this time. I wonder what he bought this time?" As he spoke, his eyes drifted up to the chicken coop on the truck.

Wang Yuhao seemed to have been old friends with the village chief for many years, and said enthusiastically: "I'm here to collect some chickens this time, and I'll see if I can collect some game on the way."

"Should we go to the handsome man's house?" the old village chief asked.

Wang Yuhao thought for a while before he realized that the "marshal" was referring to Zhang Taiping, so he returned and said, "Well, I'm going to Brother Zhang's place."

"Then let's go together."

"Old village chief, please."

When the two came to Zhang Taiping's yard, he was chopping grass for chickens and ducks, and they were greeted by grimaces. Wang Yuhao was startled, swallowed his saliva and asked, "When did Brother Zhang get this big guy?"

"

Zhang Taiping turned away his grimace and stepped forward and said, "Haha, I just bought it not long ago."

After entering the house, the village chief asked Zhang Taiping, "Are you going to sell chickens?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "I didn't sell it, it was Wang Bing who wanted to sell the more than 200 big roosters at home."

"Oh, it's that boy Wang Bing." The old village chief remembered that Wang Bing's family also bought hundreds of chickens when they opened the village.

Wang Yuhao said: "How about we go see the father-in-law first?"

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "No hurry, no hurry, sit down and have a rest first, eat a watermelon to cool down." He took out a big watermelon from the refrigerator and opened it. Regardless of whether Wang Yuhao really needs this of his own.

Pillow, but being able to come over after receiving the call was a favor to Zhang Taiping. Zhang Taiping wanted to acknowledge this, right? So he was a little more enthusiastic than before.

Now that he was seated, Wang Yuhao did not refuse. As expected of someone who deals with food, he felt the difference after just one taste. His eyes lit up and he praised: "Where does this watermelon come from? It is not sold outside.

It’s so delicious!”

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Some of them were planted in the backyard and they didn't suffer any harm, so it's better than the ones outside."

The old village chief also smiled and dismissed Zhang Taiping and said: "The commander-in-chief hides the watermelons in his yard very tightly. Ordinary people who are not distinguished guests cannot eat them. Haha, old man, it is thanks to you today."

After eating the watermelon, Wang Yuhao sighed and said, "I really envy Brother Zhang for his carefree life."

Zhang Taiping smiled and did not take it seriously. Others said this was still credible, but it was definitely not the voice of a businessman.

After seeing the roosters raised by Wang Bing's family, Wang Yuhao is quite satisfied. Because these roosters are not only big and bright, but also aggressive and aggressive. When he enters the yard, he wants to come up and peck him. This is definitely

Free-range chickens, otherwise they wouldn’t be so wild.

The final price was negotiated at thirty-five yuan each, regardless of size. A total of more than 230 chickens cost more than eight thousand yuan. At first, each chick cost only two or three yuan, but it increased more than ten times in four months.

It was really a big profit. Some villagers who came to watch couldn't help but secretly envy Wang Bing. At that time, Wang Bing spent more than 1,000 yuan to buy chicken seedlings, but many people were not optimistic about it.

Of course, this is under the condition that chicken plague does not occur.

And it seems that God has taken great care of the villagers this year. In the past six months, not only have the crops been harvested with good weather and abundant fruits and vegetables, but the animals have been free from diseases and disasters and are in good health. People's income and living standards have also been trending towards a well-off society.
