The father and daughter returned to the mule cart.
Su Jianmin put the rice noodles on the cart first, and then picked up his daughter.
"Are you going back now?" Jinbao asked, "Dad, don't you want to buy a steamer? You haven't bought it yet."
"The steamer sold by the supply and marketing cooperative is too small to steam dumplings. Let's go to the market tomorrow to see if there are any large steamers for sale. I think I saw someone selling it at the market once, but I didn't buy it at the time..."
Jinbao nodded and said, "Then let's buy it tomorrow. We happen to have a trip tomorrow to sell those green-shelled eggs, and by the way, we also sold the rooster."
Su Jianmin hesitated for a while and said nothing.
After he drove Xiaobai out of town, he asked Jinbao, "Jinbao, are you sure those chickens are of a different breed? I think they are no different from ordinary chickens."
Hearing the worry in his father's tone, Jinbao said: "Although I'm not sure those chickens are Ma-feathered chickens, since they can lay green-shell eggs, they are definitely not ordinary chickens."
"I'm just afraid that if those chickens don't taste good, people will cause trouble..."
Su Jianmin sighed and continued: "After all, although we have raised them for more than three months, we have never tasted them, and we don't know how the chicken tastes or whether it is delicious."
"Dad, haven't you ever eaten eggs? At that time, you praised them for being delicious."
"The taste of green eggs is really good, but there is still a difference between chickens and eggs..."
Jinbao thought for a while, "How about we kill one tonight and try it?"
"Ah? No, no, today is not a holiday. Eating chicken is too extravagant," Su Jianmin said. "I have to wait until your second brother comes back to kill the chicken, just like the locals do."
Speaking of which, what kind of dish is white chopped chicken? He hasn't eaten it yet.
It had been so long since he had eaten meat that he couldn't help but swallow his saliva just thinking about it.
Jin Bao grabbed the edge of the cart with both hands and said with a smile: "Anyway, dad, don't worry. The better the eggs, the better the chicken. This is definitely true. Besides, we haven't decided on a chicken yet."
How much does it cost? As long as it’s not more expensive than other people’s chickens, people who buy chickens can’t ask for too much, right?”
"That's true."
After listening to Jin Bao's words, Su Jianmin was no longer as worried as before.
He smiled and said, "If all the roosters are sold, our family can make some money again..."
"Dad, how much does a chicken cost? Do you know?"
"It seems like one dollar a pound."
Jinbao calculated silently and said, "The roosters in our house weigh about four pounds, right?
It costs one yuan per catty, so one chicken costs four yuan, and eight roosters cost thirty-two yuan... Wow! It seems pretty good. After deducting the money for buying chicks and feed, I feel like I've made a lot of money."
Su Jianmin looked back at his daughter, and the smile on his face became even wider.
"Jin Bao, your arithmetic is getting faster and faster."
After praising his daughter, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and his tone was a little confused, "By the way, I wanted to ask you before, why are there eight chickens? Don't we have eleven roosters in our family?"
"We need to keep one for breeding, otherwise how can the hen hatch chicks?"
When Su Jianmin heard the word "breeding" from Jinbao's mouth, he couldn't help but be startled, "Did your Aunt Huang tell you?"
"You don't need to tell Aunt Huang about this, I already know it. If there are only hens, the eggs laid by hens will not have chicks," Jin Bao said with a smile, "Dad, I know better than you about animals.
"
"Yes, Jin Bao, you can even understand the words of animals..."
Thinking of Jinbao's power, Su Jianmin couldn't help but sigh for a while.
Although he has long known that his daughter is different from ordinary children, not only much smarter, but also has special abilities, but he can't help but treat her as an ordinary child. After all, she is still so young, only eight years old after the New Year.
.
When Su Jianmin was thinking this, Jin Bao continued the previous topic and explained: "As for leaving the other two chickens, they are of course for us to eat during the New Year. We have a large family, and the second brother is coming back soon. One chicken
It’s definitely not enough to eat.”
"Jin Bao, you are very thoughtful and can think of so many things in a short time, unlike your father and me..."
Su Jianmin said with a smile while driving the mule cart: "When I was at the supply and marketing cooperative, I was a little confused when faced with all the questions from those people. I definitely couldn't give an accurate number like eight chickens.
"
"Hee hee, Jin Bao is with dad. If we encounter such a problem in the future and dad doesn't react for a while, I will answer and solve it. Dad doesn't have to worry."
"With you here, Jinbao, I don't know how peaceful my father will be..."
They returned home before noon. Su Jianmin took Jinbao out of the car and then took the rice noodles home.
"Just bought rice and flour?" Bai Lu was stunned, "Didn't you say that I wanted to buy New Year's goods like candies? Where are the water ladles and steamers I asked you to buy? Also, the broom at home is broken, so I have to buy two more.
new……"
"The steamer in the supply and marketing cooperative is too small. I plan to take Jinbao to the town market tomorrow to buy these things. By the way, I will exchange the green shell eggs and sell the rooster at home."
Bai Lu, who had no hope at first, heard her husband say this, her eyes suddenly brightened a little, and she said in surprise: "Will the supply and marketing cooperative accept those green-shelled eggs?"
"Yes, it's all thanks to you!"
"Me?" Bai Lu frowned, "What does it have to do with me?"
Su Jianmin wondered: "Didn't you ask Jinbao to bring those cooked eggs to the salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperative to try?"
"No, I didn't let you..." Halfway through the words, Bai Lu understood first and said with a smile, "I asked why Jinbao suddenly asked me to steam more eggs for her and you to eat on the road. It turned out to be for the supply and marketing cooperative.
Let’s have a taste of it.”
Huang Yuzhu heard their conversation from the side and couldn't help but interject and praise: "This kid Jinbao is really smart, he can come up with such a solution."
"Her child is really quick-thinking, unlike us who take eggs too seriously and have never thought of giving eggs." Bai Lu said with a smile and handed the eggs she picked up today to her husband.
"Look, these were all picked up in the woodshed this morning," she said. "A dozen of them are all green. I'm worried. If only green-shelled eggs are laid in the future, and the supply and marketing cooperative won't accept them, we'll be early."
Even if I eat eggs for lunch and dinner, I won’t be able to finish this much.”
"So, thanks to Jinbao, she is still the most capable in our family..."
Su Jianmin said, pulling his daughter to his side and touching her head.
Jinbao smiled sweetly, his big crescent-shaped eyes filled with a happy smile.
There was only one day left before New Year's Eve. In order to sell chickens, Su Jianmin got up before dawn. In addition to Jinbao, Xiaosi and Xiaowu also wanted to go. They put the chickens in the chicken cages and walked along the way.
They were all excited about going to the market to sell chickens.
