Chapter 386 Can feed and pick mushrooms (big chapter)(1/2)
Fangyuan came around to take a look and saw a middle-aged man standing next to the little donkey.
Then I heard someone say: "You donkey must be sick! Otherwise, sell it to me for twenty yuan."
"Twenty is not for sale." The middle-aged man frowned and said.
"You can't live without selling," one of the onlookers said.
But the onlooker was right, this little donkey really couldn't survive.
If it weren't for a middle-aged man holding me next to me, I would have struggled to stand.
No wonder they have to be taken to a small market and sold. If there is any possibility of making a living, middle-aged people are not willing to sell them.
And judging by the way this middle-aged man is dressed, he should be the captain of a production team or something.
"Uncle, is your little donkey born prematurely?" Fangyuan asked at this time.
"Uh!" When Fangyuan asked, the middle-aged man looked up at him and said, "How do you know?"
"Needless to say, you can tell at a glance that this is a serious congenital flaw!" Fang Yuan curled his lips and said.
But yes, if this were not the case, how could a middle-aged man sell it like this? Just kidding, this is a donkey!
When you grow up, you will be equivalent to several fake laborers. I think everyone knows what this means to a village or a production team.
"What, a congenital deficiency?" someone asked.
"Comrade, you are so unethical. You are selling a premature donkey. If you buy it back, you will lose money to death!"
"Yeah! It's simply impossible to make a living." A middle-aged man said while shaking his head.
Especially the few people who wanted to bid just now took two steps back.
"I didn't force you to buy it," said the middle-aged man selling the donkey.
"Uncle, how about this? Sell it to me for thirty yuan!"
Just now, others only offered 20 yuan, but the middle-aged people refused to sell it. Now Fangyuan offers 30 yuan, which is ten yuan more than others.
"Little brother, didn't you say that this little donkey was born prematurely? Why did you buy it?" asked a middle-aged man next to him.
"Let's play! If you can feed it, feed it. If you can't feed it, eat meat." Fang Yuan shrugged and said.
"What the hell, eat meat. This little donkey only has so much meat! If you eat meat, you might as well spend the money to buy chicken or something else."
"It's different." Fang Yuan shook his head, and then said, "Didn't you hear what others said? Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground."
Hearing what Fangyuan said, everyone in the circle shook their heads. They didn't know whether they shook their heads because they had never heard of it, or because Fangyuan spent thirty yuan to buy this little donkey that was about to die.
But what they said is right! This little donkey is too small, it only weighs thirty or forty pounds. It is really not worth spending thirty yuan to buy a little donkey that weighs thirty or forty pounds and is about to die.
Then spend thirty yuan to buy chickens. Even if you buy a smaller chicken, one for one dollar, thirty chickens will still weigh seventy or eighty kilograms.
If the big chicken sold by Buyer Yuan could buy a hundred pounds, it would not be much better than this little donkey.
"Little brother, this is just a newborn donkey. It's inedible at all." An uncle next to him kindly reminded Fang Yuan.
Fangyuan shrugged and said: "There is no way! I really want to eat the meat of those adult donkeys, but there is no place to buy it! I have to make do."
"Well!"
Fangyuan's words left everyone in the circle speechless, but he was telling the truth. Who would be willing to kill an adult donkey!
To put it bluntly, a donkey is much more important than a person in this era.
Let’s put it this way! If people don’t have food, donkeys have to eat. For example, people eat wowotou and sweet potatoes, but donkeys eat corn kernels and even fried soybeans.
This is not a joke, it is a real thing. Fangyuan heard something a few days ago that a man in charge of feeding donkeys in the fifth team was really hungry, so he secretly grabbed a handful of fried donkeys to feed the donkeys.
Eat soybeans.
Of course, if someone discovers this, the consequences can be imagined.
Fangyuan's village also has donkeys, not only donkeys, but also two cows. They are the treasures of the village. If it is not for farming, they would not be willing to use them at all.
There are dedicated personnel serving them every day, and everything they eat or drink must be inspected.
For example, when pulling a cart, those who can pull it by humans will never use them. You can imagine how valuable a donkey is.
"How about it, uncle, I don't think anyone can offer a higher price than me, right?"
"This..." The middle-aged man frowned, as if he didn't want to sell it.
I don’t know if it’s because the price offered by Fangyuan is too low, or because Fangyuan said he would buy it back to eat.
"I think this price is okay. Since this little brother wants to buy it, you can sell it to him! You won't be able to make a living taking it back anyway," said a middle-aged man.
But he was right! This little donkey probably could only survive in Fangyuan's hands. According to current medical skills, it would be impossible for it to survive.
The middle-aged man selling the donkey was very confused. After thinking for a long time, he glanced at Fangyuan and said, "Okay, I'll sell it to you."
"That's right." After speaking, Fangyuan took out a few big unity cards from his pocket, then pulled out three and handed them over.
"Here you go." The middle-aged man took the money and put it away, then held the little donkey and handed it to Fangyuan.
Now Fangyuan frowned, because he had no place to put it! If he didn't ride a bicycle, it would be easy to just carry him away.
But now, there is no way for this little donkey to fit on this bicycle. Of course, if it is a healthy little donkey, that is no problem.
But this little donkey can’t stand well, and you still expect him to run along with the bicycle!
Fangyuan took it anyway, thought about it and took off his shirt, then tied the sleeves together and hung them around his neck.
This would at least free up his hands, and just like that, Fangyuan left without riding, pushing the bicycle.
This doesn't mean that he doesn't want to ride, but that he can't ride. It would be nice to be able to push him around.
After finally leaving the commune, Fangyuan quickly pushed the bicycle into the woods on the side of the road, and then disappeared together with the person and the vehicle.
In the space, Fangyuan tied up the bicycle and then took off the little donkey hanging from his neck.
As soon as he put it down, the little donkey fell to the ground.
"Woooooo!" Lone Wolf ran over.
"Get lost." Fang Yuan waved to Lone Wolf.
"Woooooo!" Lone Wolf didn't leave and rubbed his head on Fangyuan's legs a few times.
Fangyuan shook his head and said, "Come here and give you a task."
After speaking, Fangyuan knelt down, touched the little donkey and said, "From now on, you have to protect it. If it gets hurt, I will take care of you."
"Woooooo!" The lone wolf rubbed his head against Fangyuan's face again, and then sniffed the little donkey.
"That's right." Fang Yuan rubbed Lone Wolf's head.
Even so, Fangyuan didn't put the little donkey outside, but put it into the yard.
I got some relatively soft hay, spread it in a corner of the yard, and put the little donkey on it.
Then Fangyuan went to boil water, which was from the top of the mountain. After boiling the water, Fangyuan boiled some milk powder.
After ironing it, let it cool for a while, and when it felt almost done, I put it to the little donkey's mouth.
I don’t know if the fragrance of the milk powder attracted it, but it actually ate it.
Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the little donkey eating. As long as he ate, eating would mean that he could survive.
Maybe he was really hungry! He finished the bowl of milk very quickly.
Fangyuan touched the little donkey's head and said, "Just stay here for now! I'll come in to feed you in the evening."
The little donkey is still too young. Although it is said to be fed milk powder, it does not mean that it can eat grass now. At least, it must wait until it can walk and run.
Fangyuan came out of the space, and of course, he brought the bicycle with him.
There aren't that many things on the bicycle now, except for a sack of vegetables on the back seat and a piece of meat hanging on the handlebar.
There is not much meat, only two or three kilograms, which is quite a lot. Fifteen people have three kilograms of meat, which is two taels per person on average.
Even in the imperial capital, this is half a month's quota per person.
Although Fangyuan doesn't take out much meat every time, he eats at least two meals a week, sometimes even three meals.
Calculated this way, each person consumes almost two kilograms per month, and we can’t eat so much at home!
Of course, this is talking about other people, not Fangyuan. At home, Fangyuan eats more than that a day.
But this two kilograms does not include Fangyuan, there is no way, who can make Fangyuan happy without meat! Although he looks like everyone eats the same food every day, in fact, he cooks a small meal for himself every day.
It can be said that Fangyuan’s food is basically the same as what we eat in the Imperial Capital.
This is about meat, but other things are different. For example, the staple food Fangyuan eats at home is basically white flour and rice, but here Fangyuan also eats steamed buns every day.
Twenty minutes later, Fangyuan returned home, let’s call it home for now!
"team leader."
"team leader."
Seeing the meat hanging on the handlebars of Fangyuan's bicycle, these guys stopped enjoying the cool weather and immediately gathered around.
"I said you guys are so virtuous when you see the food." Fangyuan shook his head after finishing speaking.
