Wang Cuihua's face showed concern. The crops in the field had just begun to grow. It would be fine if they were away for three to five days. But if the time goes on, it would definitely be bad. How would they pay for the land tax and tenant rent in the second half of the year?
"Let's do this. You stay in the county and I'll go back and take care of the crops. Anyway, old man, I'm already half dead and I'm not afraid of death."
Niu Fugui said.
"no!"
Niu Gen stood up and said, "Dad, it's better for me to go back. I'm very strong and can run away even if I encounter a zombie."
"Fart, old man, I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to make the decision in the family yet, this matter is settled, just do as I say."
Niu Fugui blew his beard and stared.
The family suddenly fell silent.
Seeing this scene, Niu Xiaosheng suddenly stood up and said, "There is something I want to discuss with everyone."
Seeing everyone looking over, Niu Xiaosheng took out an egg from his arms and placed it in front of his fourth uncle Niu Chun, "Fourth uncle, take a look at this egg."
"Is this an egg?"
Niu Chun reached out and picked up the egg and began to observe it carefully. First of all, the egg was larger than ordinary eggs. Secondly, the eggshell was as white as jade. It felt comfortable to hold it in his hand.
"These are eggs laid by a chicken that turned into a strange beast."
As he spoke, Niu Xiaosheng took out another one and handed it to the curious elder sister beside him, "What I'm going to talk about next is related to this egg. I have channels to obtain such eggs, so I want to discuss with you about opening one in the county.
With this stall, my parents and grandpa can relax and don’t have to work all day long.”
After hearing these words, everyone looked at Niu Xiaosheng in a different way, and they all felt that the person sitting in front of them was not a seven-year-old child, but an adult.
"Brother Chun, this martial arts academy is really amazing. Niu Dan has only been here for half a month, and it's like a different person. He has grown up and become sensible!"
Niu Fugui couldn't help but sigh, "When his son Niu Gen was as big as Niu Gen, he only knew how to go up trees to dig out bird eggs, go down to rivers to catch loaches, and was the first to eat. No one was seen while working, which made him worried.
At this time, Niu Chun was inexplicably shocked. If it hadn't been during the day, he would have even suspected that his nephew was possessed by a ghost.
But what shocked him even more was the egg in his hand, "Can you tell me where this egg came from?"
"No, I have an agreement with the owner of the egg, and I cannot expose his secrets."
Niu Xiaosheng shook his head. He also saw the reaction of his family. In fact, he was worried whether the secret of his time travel would be discovered, but it seemed that he had passed the test.
"Since you can't say it, forget it."
Niu Chun didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. He looked serious and said, "Niu Dan, this relationship must be maintained well."
"Four uncle, don't worry. We have a good relationship. Why don't you boil the eggs and taste them now."
As he said that, he took out three more, exactly one for each person.
"good."
Niu Chun immediately picked up the five eggs and walked into the stove of the shop. He was not prepared to hand over such things to others.
Not long after, five hard-boiled eggs were brought back.
"Come on, try them all, it tastes very good."
Niu Xiaosheng picked up one of them, knocked it skillfully, and opened the shell to reveal the white protein inside, "Mom, you eat it!"
Wang Cuihua took the egg with a smile, feeling warm in her heart.
Immediately afterwards, Niu Xiaosheng peeled one for his grandfather Niu Fugui and his eldest sister Niu Wanwan respectively, while his father Niu Gen, who was sitting next to Niu Chun, could not help but peel one himself.
"This egg tastes good. Did the person who gave you the egg say anything about the effect of this egg?"
As he spoke, Niu Chun took a sip of tea, moved his mouth a few times, and swallowed the remaining egg yolk inside. Apart from the delicious taste, he didn't feel any changes in his body for the time being.
Niu Xiaosheng thought about it carefully and said: "Long-term consumption can increase Qi and blood, is also good for the skin, can strengthen memory, and can quickly relieve muscle soreness. That's all for now."
These are the effects he summarized after eating eggs for five months.
Although the chickens in the space have transformed into low-grade alien beasts, the effect of eggs is not as obvious as the flesh and blood of alien beasts. However, the effect of long-term consumption is better than eating a meal of alien meat every three to five days.
"Uncle Fourth, how much do you think we should sell each one for?"
"Did the person who provided you the eggs have any price requirements?"
"No, he only said that the money he earned was divided into sixty-four and he had six and I had four."
Niu Xiaosheng originally wanted to say 50-50, but in the end he changed it.
"That's right, even if it's June 4th, you're taking advantage of it. These eggs taste good and have good effects. They can be sold for at least 60 yuan each. After word of mouth spreads, there will be people asking for 80 yuan."
Niu Chun gave a fair price.
"So expensive?"
Wang Cuihua was a little surprised. She took her local eggs to the town and sold them for three pennies each.
"If this kind of eggs can be provided stably, it will be a treasure trove. I think you, second brother, can buy a house in the county to live in permanently."
Niu Chun looked at Niu Xiaosheng and felt more and more that his nephew's luck was astonishing. Such good things had happened to him. Could it be that surviving a catastrophe would lead to good fortune in the future?
"This kind of eggs can be provided stably. Grandpa, let's buy a house in the county instead of farming."
Niu Xiaosheng looked at Niu Fugui.
Niu Fugui pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It's okay to buy the house, but the egg selling thing still needs Brother Chun to take care of it together."
"Don't worry, old man. I still have some connections in the Yamen. I can just say hello when the time comes."
"No, what I mean is that the two of us sell it together and share the money we make together."
"No, no."
Niu Chun shook his head repeatedly, "Old man, I, Niu Chun, will never do this kind of thing to take advantage of my own family, so don't mention it."
"Why did you take advantage?"
Niu Fugui's eyes widened, "As the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves, but they are worried about them. How can you be reliable if you rely on others? Relying on yourself is the only way to do business. The people in the Yamen can take care of us for your sake, but
Favors don't last long, so just do what the old man says!"
"this--"
Niu Chun hesitated for a moment, and finally thought of a compromise, "Well, let's just go into partnership. I'll work for my second brother and give him some money every month. That's it, old man, or else forget it."
.”
"This is fine too."
Niu Fugui understood Niu Chun's character and agreed temporarily.
After the negotiation, the next step was to buy a house. As long as there was money, it was not difficult. Niu Chun found an official, and then led Niu Xiaosheng and his family to look at the house for an hour, and they quickly decided on it.
What Wang Cuihua was interested in was a two-story house. Although the location was a little out of the way, the price was quite reasonable, only 40 guan.
After the negotiation was completed, Guan Ya found the owner of the house, and both parties signed documents, made fingerprints, and gave the house deed. This second-entry house located in Shimo Lane in the west of the city officially became Niu Xiaosheng's new home.
