Chapter 60 The Vegetable Merchant with Low Prices
I drank a little too much yesterday. Li Qingyun got up in the morning and his legs were a little floating. He released gold and copper coins from the small space and prepared to feed them. However, the two puppies didn't like it. Recently, they became friends with the white falcon. They had a lot of fun in the small space. Occasionally, they caught two eels to make teeth sacrifices, which harmed a big watermelon. The three little animals couldn't climb, so they still sent it to their mouths.
Li Qingyun thought that the white falcon could be released. This guy was caught in a bad situation. How could he eat watermelon when he put fish without eating? If it switched to vegetarianism in the future, how could he help him hunt?
While his parents were working in the fields and there was no one at home, Li Qingyun also released the bald eagle and falcon. As soon as the white eagle and falcon grew its hair, when he came out, he saw the familiar blue sky and white clouds, and suddenly, with a "swoosh" sound, spread his wings and soared into the sky, flew into the white clouds, and disappeared.
Li Qingyun was stunned. Damn, I raised a white-eyed wolf. I thought I had raised it and tamed it. After I came out, I would never fly without saying hello and not beating.
"Ertu, come back to me with your sister!" Li Qingyun was angry and shouted at the sky.
The gold and copper coins also shouted, woof, woof, not very strict, and it felt like complaining that Ertuo flew into the sky without bringing them together.
"Brother Fuwa, what are you calling? What a second bald man?" Li Yuncong looked out of the gate in a elusive way. Seeing that Li Qingyun was the only one in the courtyard, Shi Shiran walked in, shook his head and looked left and right, as if he wanted to find a second person.
"It's nothing. I just got up early in the morning and was bored, so I practiced my throat and yelled a few more comforting sounds." Li Qingyun couldn't explain it to the two guys. He and his father were drinking last night. But he was also very committed to it, and finally put them all down, and he almost got drunk.
"..." Li Yuncong was confused, but he didn't think much about it. What Li Qingyun said was boring if he was serious.
The breakfast was in the pot and it was ready. Li Qingyun's parents only went to the ground after eating it. I heard that Li Yuncong hadn't eaten either, so the two of them gathered together to clean up the remaining food.
After eating, Li Yuncong wiped his mouth and exclaimed: "Brother Fuwa, your food is so delicious! My father said that your vegetables are well grown, so I will learn the technology for you. In exchange, my snake catching technology and secret recipes for controlling snake venom can also be passed on to you."
Li Qingyun's heart moved, but on the surface he curled his lips: "I believe what else you say. If you talk about snake catching techniques and secret recipes for snake venom, your father regards it more important than you, and will it be passed on to outsiders?"
Li Yuncong smiled and said, "Hehe, how can you be considered an outsider? They are all their own family. In fact, the secret recipe for snake venom was improved by your grandfather. You grandfather knows everything, but others are too righteous and have never revealed a word to outsiders. This is what I just heard my father say last night."
"My grandfather... Oh, forget it, I won't learn it anymore. My grandfather always says he wants to leave some money for others to eat. I don't care about your secret recipe, but I can make it public if you want to learn the techniques of growing vegetables for my family. But there is no secret. You can watch it and plant it whatever you should. As for what your family grows, I can't guarantee it."
Li Qingyun said, having changed her clothes and was about to take gold and copper coins to the field to take a look.
"Hehe, Brother Fuwa is also righteous. If you grow vegetables, I will take a look next to you and don't talk. Let's go to the field." Li Yuncong rubbed his hands and walked around excitedly.
"It's the season for growing hairs, now is the season for picking vegetables." Li Qingyun said, and was about to close the door and go to the fields.
At this moment, I heard a long and sharp bird cry from the sky. With a "swoosh", a ball of white light fell from the sky and rushed towards Li Qingyun.
If Li Yuncong hadn't been by his side, he would have opened the small space instantly and put the white light in. But if someone was there, he could only raise his arms in a frightened way to block the white light.
The white light screamed mischievously and suddenly rose, hovering around Li Qingyun's head, and landed lightly on his arm.
In the summer, there is only a layer of clothes on the arms. Although it falls gently, Li Qingyun shivered in pain. The claws of the falcon are too sharp. Others keep the falcons and tie a layer of animal skin on their arms. The fleshy arms and legs cannot withstand the tortures of the falcons.
Li Qingyun glared at the naughty falcon, and the falcon also glared at him, not giving in to each other, staring at each other with big eyes.
"Damn, I'm not dreaming, is it? A sea-dongqing fell from the sky? It fell on your arm? This is the best pure white. My father worshiped it as a sacred bird. After so many years, he still didn't get one. A few days ago, I bought a gray falcon from a hunter in Zhangqiao Village, but it was damaged after a few uses..."
Li Yuncong's loud shouting made Ertuo very unhappy. He raised his head proudly and glanced at him, as if he was thinking about pecking somewhere on his big head and letting him live for a while.
Li Qingyun was quite surprised and asked in confusion: "You said this guy is Haidongqing? What a joke? I heard from the older generation of hunters that Haidongqing in our place has long disappeared, and there are only a very small number of them on the snow-capped mountains on the edge of Qinghai-Tibet. Could it be that this guy flew down from the snow-capped mountains?"
"I don't care about this. I just want to know why it fell from the sky and fell on your arm?" Li Yuncong asked with his big head shook and stared at him.
"Well, I don't know much, but it's because I'm too handsome." Li Qingyun said, and was about to tease Ertuzi for a few times, but he saw Ertuzi flying into the sky with disdain, instantly crawling into the sky and disappearing again.
This time Li Qingyun did not scream anymore. Since it could come back once, it might come back twice. The taste of space fish is not so easy to refuse. After being addicted, it is harder to quit than drugs.
"Brother, will you die if you don't show off? Look, let's get rid of the divine bird? Ouch, my divine bird..." Li Yuncong cried and shouted, chasing him out in great exaggeration, hoping to get the favor of the divine bird, and it also fell on his arm.
Li Qingyun laughed secretly, and did not explain it clearly to him. He went directly to the fish pond in front of the field to see the farmed eels. Although they had only been in the pond for ten days, these eel seedlings grew up and were in great spirits. There was a circle of dead insects by the pond, which meant that their food was good and there were still living insects left.
Pour a cup of space spring water into each pond, which immediately caused the eels to jump wildly, trying to grab the purest spring water. There were too many water and many fish in the big pond, so Li Qingyun stood at the two ends, pouring three cups here and three cups there, and suddenly some big fish jumped out of the water, rushed towards this side, and even rushed over his head. A grass carp that was more than two feet long rushed to the bottom of his feet, fluttering his tail, as if he felt something was wrong, and wanted to return to the pond.
This grass carp is extremely healthy, with a black back and a blue-white shiny on its scales. I guess it is at least seventeen or eighteen kilograms. I don’t know how long it has lived in this pond. He escaped when he was fishing in the net.
If there are such big fish in the pond, the newly-fried fry will be miserable. There are also some eel seedlings thrown in last time. Maybe many big fish will be beaten by the mouths and hands. Well, maybe it is a poisonous mouth.
The water plants in the pond are too strong, and Li Qingyun feels it is a waste. If you plant lotus roots, you will definitely earn more. But now you don’t have time, so you will consider these things when you have free time.
Li Yuncong finally woke up from the unrealistic fantasy, rushed up from behind, and shouted from afar: "Damn, I understand, you trained Haidongqing, right? Tell me quickly, where did you catch it, I also want one. You don't know what price Haidongqing is, the price in a big city can definitely exceed a luxury car!"
"Don't talk to me about money, it's too vulgar!" Li Qingyun ignored him at all, clapped his hands, and walked up the river bank.
On the shore is the homestead where he wants to build a villa. The building materials and machines he needs are in place. Although there are many things, they do not occupy the road and are piled together, which is extremely spectacular.
Li Yuncong shook his head and shouted, "You are going to build a building, of course you are not short of money! Okay, okay, I just talk casually, I don't have jealousy, envy and hatred."
"If you talk nonsense, I won't take you to play." When Li Qingyun was looking at the construction materials, he saw a small truck parked next to him. The license plate was local, not from Hu Dahai Construction Company.
Just as I was about to go up to take a look, I saw a few people walking down from my own terrace on the hillside. His father was among them. The other two seemed to be vegetable merchants, one man and the other woman, who were in their forties, were dressed well and had big belly. From a distance, I heard them discussing the price of vegetables.
"Old Li, although your vegetables are good, the price is this in the market. At most, I will calculate it for you based on the wholesale price. I will help you with it for nothing, because I wholesale to others, and the price is the same. If you don't believe me, look at it. The vegetables I give to others are definitely not as high as that. As for the wholesale price per catty, it is 30 cents to 50 cents lower than the wholesale price." The male vegetable merchant with a belly said to Li Chengwen as if giving alms.
The middle-aged woman seemed to be the wife of a vegetable merchant, with a sharp voice, and echoed: "The price given by Lao Wan from my family is too high. If I buy it, it will definitely be the market price. What price should I do? Okay, since Lao Wan has already offered you a price, I will just say whether to sell it or not."
Li Qingyun's father said hesitantly: "This... what wholesale price you offer is not much different from the price you have collected in previous years. Cucumbers are one pound, tomatoes, eggplant, green peppers are two pounds, beans and peppers are three pounds. This is the first batch of vegetables, at least half a month earlier than other people's houses. It should be higher, right?"
The middle-aged woman shouted impatiently: "Old Li, I don't like to hear what you say. If you are high, you still want to be high. Greed is not such a greedy method. You have thought it through clearly. After passing my village, you will not have this store. The head of the house, let's go to another house first. If the car is full, we will not accept his house! Who is it? It's at least not to know how to offer you the highest price! I'll put it here. If someone offers a higher price than my house, I'll jump into the river to touch a turtle and swallow it alive!"
As he said that, the middle-aged woman grabbed the middle-aged man's arm and walked a few steps down, making a harsh speech in anger.
When passing by Li Qingyun and Li Yuncong, he spat out a bit of saliva and muttered something dirty in his mouth, as if he was blaming Li Qingyun's father for wasting their time.
"Slow down!" Li Qingyun suddenly called the vegetable collector who was about to get on the bus, and said with a bad expression, "If someone collects higher than you, would you really jump into the river and touch a turtle and swallow it alive?"
