1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 40: Driving each car more vigorously than the other

department store.

As soon as Su Wenchen came in, he noticed groups of people gathered around a counter, talking.

All of them were looking at a fourteen-inch TV on the counter with longing eyes.

Su Wenchen passed by and took a curious look.

It turned out to be a TV! Even if it was a black and white TV, it was definitely a top luxury item in that era.

Not to mention the high price of one thousand dollars, even a TV ticket is not something most people can afford.

The TV is too far away from him now; the bicycle is closer to him.

As long as the chicken farm opens smoothly, it shouldn't be a problem to exchange it for a bicycle ticket.

Su Wenchen went to the bicycle counter and took a look. The prices ranged from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and eighty.

The most expensive ones are the three more famous brands: Forever, Phoenix, and Fei Ge.

The remaining small brands are slightly cheaper.

Su Wenchen took a look at the brand new bicycle on the counter.

Wait for me, I will have you soon, and then Su Wenchen left the bicycle counter without looking back.

There were no setbacks when buying the glass.

After paying the money, the other party issued a receipt and asked Su Wenchen to go to the warehouse at the back to collect it.

After Su Wenchen arrived at the warehouse, he looked at the ten complete windows of glass laid out by the other party and felt a little confused for a moment.

The glass of this era was not as thick as that of later generations, only about 3MM, but even so.

A piece of glass weighs several kilograms.

If he were to carry ten windows and a bag of pork bones back by himself, he would probably die of exhaustion on the way.

Su Wenchen murmured to himself, "Looks like I need to find a cart to transport it back."

After looking around, Su Wenchen took out a cigarette and handed it to the warehouse manager, "Brother, do you know where to find a cart? The glass is a bit heavy for me to carry!"

The warehouse manager looked at Su Wenchen, then took the cigarette from Su Wenchen and put it to his ear.

"When you go out and turn left, the first house you see has a cart. It costs only five cents to take you to the county, ten cents to the lower commune, and twenty cents to the village!"

A gleam of light flashed in Su Wenchen's eyes.

The other party is so familiar with the price, which means this kind of thing happens often. It seems that the driver is either a family member of the other party or a relative.

"Dong dong!"

Su Wenchen knocked on the door according to the address given by the warehouse manager.

The door was quickly opened.

A middle-aged man with a slightly hunched back walked out and looked at Su Wenchen warily, "Who are you looking for?"

Su Wenchen pointed in the direction of the department store warehouse.

"I just bought some things at the department store, and there are some things at the scrap yard. I heard you have a flatbed truck. How much does it cost to take it to the Pingcun Brigade?"

The middle-aged man stuck his head out and looked outside the door, only to find that there was no one else there.

"Just give me two cents! And I can help you move things!"

When Su Wenchen heard it, he found that it was the same as what was introduced, so he nodded immediately.

"Okay, by the way, I want to transport glass, you have to help me find a rope to secure it!"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go pull the cart, you just wait for me at the warehouse door." Then he closed the door.

Su Wenchen touched his head.

"Is the county's management so strict? They have to be so vigilant even when helping to deliver something."

Su Wenchen didn't wait too long at the warehouse door of the department store.

The middle-aged man came over pulling a cart.

The other party not only brought ropes, but also deliberately laid a thick layer of thatch under the cart.

Upon seeing this, Su Wenchen immediately developed a favorable impression of this person.

This way the glass will be less likely to break. Otherwise, if a piece breaks along the way, Su Wenchen will be heartbroken for a long time.

"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. This way the glass won't break easily!" After the other party helped to move the glass onto the cart, Su Wenchen took him to the scrap yard and moved a bag of pork bones left there onto the cart.

On the way, Su Wenchen actually opened his mouth and wanted to chat with the other party.

Unfortunately, the other party seems to be very taciturn and basically won't speak unless it's something important.

Under such circumstances, Su Wenchen was no longer in the mood to chat.

Speechless all the way.

After entering the territory of Pingcun Brigade, some members working in the fields saw Su Wenchen coming back with a cart.

asked curiously.

"Hey, look, the captain's youngest son is back. Look at the sack tied to his back, it's bulging. He must have bought a lot of good stuff!"

"I heard that their family got 200 yuan each when they split up the family. I'm afraid this kid will spend all the money in less than a month."

"Hiss! Two hundred. Even if I eat fine grains every day, I can't eat two hundred yuan!"

"That depends on what this kid bought. Look, he even used a cart to pull it. How much stuff must he have bought?"

An older woman with a louder voice shouted directly at Su Wenchen on the road, "Chen boy, what are you doing?"

Su Wenchen took a look.

"Isn't my chicken farm almost ready? Go buy some things you need to raise chickens."

"That's nonsense. What else do you need to prepare to raise chickens? I've been raising chickens for so many years. You can't fool me!"

Su Wenchen smiled and said, "We have different ways of raising chickens. I learned this new method from the Guoyang chicken farm next door!"

After hearing Su Wenchen's words, the women around him started talking about it.

"Is this kid crazy? Everyone knows that the state-owned chicken farm is about to go bankrupt, but he's still imitating them?"

"Some people say that it is the way they raise chickens that causes chicken plague!"

"Is this true? If that kid Chen uses this method, will we also get chicken plague here?"

"Who knows? I think this is just nonsense. What does a young man know about raising chickens? And he lays two eggs a day. It's just a lie."

"You said the captain was the same. He just let him do whatever he wanted. I went to his chicken farm and he didn't even let the chickens out to walk around. He said that this would help them lay more eggs, but I don't believe it."

"Hey, you know what, I think it makes sense."

"What's the reason? Explain it to me!"

"Just think about it. I lock you and your man in a small room and feed you rice every day. Do you think you need to lay more eggs?"

"Yes, Cuihua, what you said does make sense. If I am not allowed to go out with my man and I am given rice every day, then I will definitely be able to lay eggs all the time!"

"Humph, nonsense! Even if you get pregnant, it will take you a year to give birth to a baby. How can you give birth to a baby every day?"

"Yeah, and even if you keep sleeping with men you won't necessarily get pregnant."

"I heard that the brigade next door has a secret recipe for pregnancy that is 100% certain to make people pregnant."

"Really? Tell me now!"

Soon Su Wenchen discovered that the topics of discussion among these old ladies gradually shifted from the chicken farm to the hens, and finally gradually deviated from the style of painting.

They can always extend the idea from chickens to humans, and they are more aggressive than each other when driving!
Make Su Wenchen feel inferior.

After delivering the glass safely to the chicken farm, Su Wenchen handed the other party two cigarettes to thank him for putting straw under him.

As for giving away a whole bag directly, Su Wenchen is not yet that generous.

Now the chicken house is basically built, and ventilation and disinfection are basically completed!

The chickens are ready to enter.

In fact, most of the time, old hens that can lay eggs first are not that easy to buy!

Most of the chickens available for purchase are culled chickens that have gradually stopped laying eggs.

Su Wenchen would definitely not want this kind of discarded chicken.

But he was not particularly anxious. If he really couldn't buy old hens, the worst that could happen was to buy chicks, which would only mean he would have income later.

Chicks are much easier to buy than old hens.
