Zhuang Keqing pretended to be calm, but if she hadn't put a hand on her chest, she would have been afraid that her little heart would jump out so violently.
This Ah Ling! How can you scare anyone?
Zhang Da was very embarrassed. At this time, he just followed the mule cart, holding his hand on the sack and pretending to look at the scenery.
Only Gouzi, who is obviously about the same age as Zhuang Keqing and the age at which the family plans to marry him, still doesn't understand.
At this time, I saw the dealer's sister's face was red, and thought about what Brother Shen had done with her just now. She couldn't help but curiously stretched her head and asked, "Sister Ke'er, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red. Brother Shen." What did you say, can you let me hear it?"
This question was asked without any clue. When Zhang Da heard it, Li Hei's face turned redder than Zhuang Keqing's. He wished he could kick his son in the butt and tell him to get out of here.
"Girl, don't pay attention to this kid Hu Lilie, he's grown so big just because he's tall but not smart!"
Zhang Day raised his hand and was about to hit the dog on the head.
Gouzi is not stupid. He is familiar with his father's behavior pattern and does not give him a chance at all.
As soon as his body became shorter, he dodged away as smoothly as a loach and jumped far ahead.
Zhuang Keqing was amused by the commotion between Zhang Da and his son, and his heartbeat stopped beating violently. The shame on his face gradually faded, and he finally calmed down.
"Girl, I used this potato residue powder to feed the pigs yesterday."
Zhang Da continued to be embarrassed and simply talked about the feed.
As soon as he returned yesterday, he blanched the rice with potato residue powder and rice bran and fed it to the pigs. The animals grunted and ate it happily.
And not only the pigs, but also the chickens were willing to eat very much. They mixed half of the food bowl together, but in a short time they were all pecked clean, and nothing was left.
"It's really good."
Zhang Dazan’s sincerity.
Zhuang Keqing doesn’t have pigs at home, but she does have a lot of chickens. When she baked potato residue powder for the first time, she started feeding it mixed with rice bran. Sometimes she found it too troublesome and even just used water without adding any rice bran. Mixed and fed.
If nothing else, the egg production of our chickens has not dropped much due to the cooling weather.
This potato dregs is nutritious, and she feels very confident.
It's just that this feed can only show its effect after being fed for a period of time. She is still a little worried that she will fail today.
However, she didn't show any clues on her face, she just told her family situation, which made Da Da feel very excited.
Is it really as good as the girl said?
Then you will have to ask the younger ones in the family to collect more firewood to exchange for it, but it is not much more cost-effective than other foods.
Three people and a car set off in the morning light. When they arrived at Songling Town, most of the morning had passed and it was almost noon.
It was getting colder, so the guard guarding the gate shrank his hands and didn't want to move much. He just walked over and took a casual look before allowing them to pay and enter the city, much faster than before.
They entered the city from the south gate, hauled feed along the way, and passed through the bustling market until they came to the small market in the north of the city that was specially used for livestock trading.
Before the car stopped, the smell of livestock hit his face, causing Zhuang Keqing to retch.
"Sister Zhuang, what's wrong with you? Are you hungry after eating this morning?"
The dog asked questions carelessly, chattering and wandering around her.
Zhuang Keqing was so dizzy from being surrounded by him, and because he had not yet fully adapted to the smell, he could only pinch his nose and caress his chest, shook his head and said nothing.
Zhang Da looked at it and said nothing, but he had some concerns in his heart.
"Girl, if you don't want to wait here, I'll go in and give you a shout."
With that said, without waiting for Zhuang Keqing to refuse, he untied the hemp rope on the mule cart, opened the bag of potato residue powder, poured it into a small bag, took it and walked to the market.
"Hey? Dad?"
Gouzi glanced at his father's back and then at Zhuang Keqing beside the car. He didn't know who to follow for a moment.
It was Zhuang Keqing who waved her hand and told him to follow Zhang Da quickly. She could rest alone here for a while.
Gouzi was very careless. After getting her letter, he rushed into the market to find his father, leaving Zhuang Keqing alone to guard the mule cart.
I didn't consider at all whether it was inappropriate for this girl to be left alone outside.
Zhuang Keqing was still a little uncomfortable. Maybe he was tired of the early breakfast. Now he smelled such a strong animal taste and still felt nauseated.
She took a small bamboo tube with a cotton cover hanging next to Dahei and drank a few sips of the water inside.
"Hoo~"
This was filled with hot water that A Ling had boiled before going out. It still tastes warm when you drink it.
Thinking of Aring, Zhuang Keqing couldn't help but recall the scene in the yard in the morning, and couldn't help but feel a heat on his face.
"Girl, you took good care of this mule."
Holding the bamboo tube in his hand, Zhuang Keqing was about to take another sip, suppressing the shame in his heart, when he heard an old man talking to him.
She looked up and saw that the old man was quite kind-faced and holding a cigarette in his hand. He looked very familiar and she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
The old man didn't say much. Instead, he walked up to Dahei, stretched out his hand to touch the mule's strong chest muscles, and smoothed its standing ears.
"You're well-raised, better than me!"
A warm breath came out of the big black nose, and he cupped the old man's hand affectionately.
ah.
Zhuang Keqing remembered.
Isn't this the old man who sold her Dahei?
"Grandpa, Dahei has been well taken care of by me, right?"
"Dahei?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the mule with shiny black fur and no trace of stray hairs, and smiled with understanding, even the wrinkles on his face that looked like dead trees smoothed away.
"The name is well chosen, hahaha."
An old man and a young man started chatting about a transaction they had made a long time ago.
When Zhang Da and his son came out of the market with dejected faces, they saw Zhuang Keqing having a cheerful conversation with the old man.
One of the two opened the cloth bag on the mule cart, and the other stretched his neck to look inside. While talking, the old man fished out a handful of potato starch from the bag and put it under his nose to smell it.
This is?
Zhang Da walked closer and raised his voice to greet Zhuang Keqing.
"Uncle Zhang, you are back."
Zhuang Keqing raised his head and asked with a smile, "How's it going? Is anyone willing to collect potato starch?"
Hearing this, Zhang Dafa shook his head worriedly.
Not only was no one willing to accept it, but even if he wanted to give the half bag of potato starch to other people’s livestock to try, no one would accept it!
This business is really difficult!
He sighed deeply again, opened his pockets and put them on the trolley, dejectedly.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Keqing was not disappointed at all, but instead smiled.
"Uncle Zhang, Grandpa Liu is considering whether to collect this potato starch."
"What?"
As soon as Zhuang Keqing finished speaking, Zhang Da Na was still sitting still, and immediately jumped off the trolley, looking at the old man in front of him in surprise, who even looked a little slovenly.
"You are..."
Look familiar?
"Uncle Zhang, have you forgotten? Our Dahei bought it from Grandpa Liu!"
After this reminder, Zhang Da finally remembered.
When he first bought the mule, the old man refused to give up the price no matter what. It looked so bad that he was so angry that he almost didn't want to buy it.
But why are you talking so happily with the girl now?
Zhang Da was still wondering when he saw the old man holding the potato dregs in his hand. Smell was not enough, he even stretched out his tongue to take a lick, and closed his eyes to taste it.
The dog stood stunned.
How dare this old man just put the stuff that the livestock eats into his mouth like this, and he doesn’t mind it being pickled?
Unexpectedly, the old man seemed to have tasted it. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were gleaming with light, and he said urgently: "I want all the goods on this cart, and they will be delivered to me immediately."
Zhang Da was stunned.
Want them all?
Could he be dreaming?
I had received so many sarcastic remarks just now for selling this potato starch, but in the blink of an eye, everyone wanted it all.
It hasn’t even been a quarter of an hour!
"Quickly, pack up and follow me."
As if he was afraid of being robbed of the goods, the old man urged Zhuang Keqing to take the mule without even negotiating the price.
He was so wide open that he couldn't even close his jaw.
He knows that this potato dregs powder is good, but it’s not like that!
But having a business is better than having no one care about it.
Zhuang Keqing responded to the old man's request, took the mule and followed the others. Zhang Da and his son followed behind and delivered the six bags of potato starch all the way to the field.
Only when he arrived at the place did Zhang Da understand. No wonder the old man asked for potato starch all at once without even frowning.
It turns out that people have enclosed a place behind Beipo Village to raise mules!
At a glance, there were five or six of them, as well as mares with cubs and breeding donkeys.
Zhuang Keqing was also surprised.
It turns out that someone has already taken the lead in large-scale breeding!
