Chapter 6 Zheng Tu
A pound of mutton costs twenty yuan, and a chicken costs two yuan.
Chen Mo counted on his fingers what he could do with the money in his hand. He sold grain for 300 yuan and embroidery for 500 yuan. Eight hundred yuan seemed like a lot, but after the autumn harvest, Chen Mo wanted to buy a few more acres.
Land, if you spend money to buy one acre of land, according to the price here, it will cost 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. On weekdays, I want to buy some chicken eggs to eat from time to time, so I must save some money.
In the end, Chen Mo bought ten chickens and spent twenty money. The remaining meat and paparazzi went to Zheng Tu. Chen Mo was a little hesitant. According to what Uncle Wang said, paparazzi also have different grades.
Usually, three or five bucks are enough to buy a dog for selling meat, but if it is better, such as the kind that can be raised as a hunting dog, it is more expensive. One can cost hundreds of dollars, which is not as cheap as Li Zheng said.
valuable.
But Chen Mo didn't really like buying an ordinary dog. Uncle Wang had a hound that died in the mountains a year ago, but before that, Chen Mo liked it very much. At first, Chen Mo was afraid of Uncle Wang but loved to get close to him.
Most of the reason was the hound. After learning the news that the hound died in battle, Chen Mo was still sad for a long time.
"Brother Wang, here we come~" Chen Mo was struggling in his heart when his ears suddenly felt like they were hit hard by a heavy hammer. When he looked up, he saw a fierce and strong man greeting Uncle Wang.
"I'm here to do some shopping today, so I stopped by to take a look." Uncle Wang seemed to be very familiar with the other person. After saying hello, he looked at Chen Mo and said, "This is Zheng Tu. You can just call him Uncle Zheng."
Zheng Tu was indeed very fierce-looking. The moment he saw Zheng Tu, Chen Mo suddenly understood a sentence: Birds of a feather flock together, and this is probably what it means, right?
However, after experiencing what happened before, the fear in Chen Mo's heart was somehow reduced. Maybe people who look vicious are not necessarily bad people, right? Just like Uncle Wang, he obediently bowed to Zheng Tu and said, "I've seen you before."
Uncle Zheng."
"When did you have a child?" Zheng Tu looked at Uncle Wang in surprise and asked.
"This is a boy from the countryside. This time he came to the city to do some shopping. Li Zheng was worried about him and asked me to follow him." Uncle Wang said with a smile.
"This child seems to be very well-behaved." Zheng Tu looked at Chen Mo a few times and found that he had a good eye. Anyway, it made people feel close to him. Maybe all children are like this, especially a child who is not noisy.
"Uncle Zheng, I want to buy meat and..." Chen Mo gritted his teeth and said, "I want to buy a paparazzi."
"Meat is easy to say. I have pork, dog meat and mutton here. Since Brother Wang brought it, it's cheaper for you." Zheng Tu grinned, and his pale teeth looked like a ferocious wild boar baring its teeth at him.
"I want three kilograms of mutton." Chen Mo hesitated and said, there was too much to eat, and it was the end of summer and the weather was hot, so he couldn't eat it.
"Easy!" Zheng Tu picked up his boning knife and cut it casually. Chen Mo felt a white light flash in front of his eyes, and a piece of meat fell on the chopping board.
"It's amazing!" Chen Mo looked at the meat on the chopping board with a look of shock. He didn't even see how the other party moved. The meat had already been cut off. If this fell on a person, how could he still be alive?
"Good taste!" Zheng Tu laughed and said. If an adult like Uncle Wang said this, he might just think of it as a courtesy, but when a child of Chen Mo's age said it, it was quite useful.
Weighing, he directly found a piece of skin to wrap the meat and said, "I'll give it to you!"
Chen Mo didn't quite understand. He took the meat and didn't know if it was three kilograms. After thinking about it, he counted out sixty dollars from the money bag and put it on the chopping board.
"I said it was given to you, why did you pay me back?" Zheng Tu frowned and looked at Chen Mo.
"My mother said... don't take advantage of others." Chen Mo remembered that that was not what his mother said at the time. Those words sounded very powerful, but Chen Mo forgot and could only speak in his own words.
"I like this kid more and more." Zheng Tu looked at Uncle Wang and laughed: "You said you want paparazzi?"
"Yeah." Chen Mo nodded.
"Let's go, I'll take you to pick one!" Zheng Tu called his assistant and asked him to help look after the butcher's stall, and personally took the two of them to pick out the paparazzi.
"Boy, dogs are very spiritual. If you decide to keep them, don't let them down. For them, this is a lifelong matter."
Zheng Tu took the two of them to the courtyard behind the butcher's stall. There were a lot of paparazzi making a fuss there. They were not afraid of people when they saw them coming, and even rubbed them up. Zheng Tu opened a few cages and said to the two of them: "Go and pick some."
Bar."
Chen Mo nodded silently as he listened, but there was some slander in his heart. Coming from the mouth of a man who killed dogs, these words seemed unconvincing, but at this time he could no longer care about so much, looking at the paparazzi all over the ground,
There are various colors, but they all look similar, so I don’t know which one to choose.
"Uncle Wang?" Chen Mo turned around and looked at Uncle Wang.
"Let me help you choose. What kind of dog do you want?" Uncle Wang said with a smile.
"Hound." Chen Mo clutched the money bag with some distress, but in his heart he had the idea that since he wanted to keep it, he would keep it for the rest of his life.
Uncle Wang chose a noisy and cheerful black puppy for Chen Mo. It was completely black except for two eyebrow-like white hairs above its eyes. It had lively eyes and was very cute. Anyway, Chen Mo liked it very much.
"Uncle Zheng, how much does this cost?" Chen Mo held it in his arms with some joy and asked Zheng Tu.
"This..." Zheng Tu looked at the dog, then at Chen Mo and suddenly smiled and said, "Just give me ten coins. It's a meat dog, but it's in good condition."
Meat dog?
Chen Mo was a little reluctant, but looking at the little dog's appearance, he really liked it. Finally, he counted ten coins and gave it to Zheng Tu. He happily carried the chicken coop and tied the money bag around his waist. The dog
He hugged Zheng Tu goodbye and followed Uncle Wang back.
There is still some time before Shenshi, but he has finished his work. He originally wanted to go to the gods, but he couldn't ask Uncle Wang to accompany him, so he just wanted to meet Li Zheng and the others and go back as soon as possible.
I want to help the dogs and chickens build a nest, but I'm afraid I won't have time if it's too late.
"Uncle Wang, is this dog really a meat dog?" After leaving the butcher stall, Chen Mo finally asked unwillingly.
"Qingzhou thin dog, a good hunting dog." Uncle Wang glanced at the paparazzi rejoicing in Chen Mo's arms, with a rare smile on his face.
"Hound?" Chen Mo was stunned: "Then why..."
"Send it to you." Uncle Wang sighed and said, "Don't go back either. Although Brother Zheng looks evil, he is a nice person. It's a pity... The butcher's career is a blessing. Three sons died young, and two wives died.
Later, I became discouraged and stopped marrying. However, I loved children like you very much. This dog really wanted to give it to you. Otherwise, with his temper, he would not be like this. You kid, you have grown a lot.
A deceptive face."
"No!" Chen Mo was a little angry, he was obviously very honest.
"I mean the face is lovable." Uncle Wang rubbed Chen Mo's head and smiled: "Let's go. If you really feel guilty, just go and see him more often when you come to the city. He likes children."
