1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 45 This little bastard is so cunning!

Cai Guaizi looked at Su Wenchen and was about to leave without saying a word.

I knew I couldn't trick this person today.

He quickly stopped Su Wenchen and said.

"Don't leave! If you think the price is too high, you can bargain for it! How can you just leave without saying anything?"

Su Wenchen turned around and glanced at the chickens in the chicken coop.

After thinking about it, he said directly, "Okay, I'll make you an offer. If you think it's okay, then it's okay. If not, forget it."

"You starved these four chickens so badly that their egg-laying cycle has been greatly reduced. Even if I buy them back, they won't lay eggs for a few days."

"So it's still eight bucks, but it's eight bucks for four!"

What the hell? How can you bargain like that? From thirty dollars to eight dollars.

After hearing what Su Wenchen said, Cai Guaizi's eyes widened.

He said angrily, "You are not the right person to bargain like this. Do you see any laying hens on the market that are less than three yuan each? The ones I sold at the morning market were all five yuan each!"

"Well, I won't cheat you. Five yuan a chicken. You can go to the morning market and ask around. Egg prices are rising now. The supply and marketing cooperatives are selling eggs for 60 cents a pound. You won't lose money if you buy these four chickens from me!"

Su Wenchen knew that the price of laying hens at the morning market was indeed five yuan each.

But they are healthy egg-laying hens with a long egg-laying cycle, so they are worth the money.

These ones obviously don't meet the standards Su Wenchen requires.

Just as Su Wenchen was about to refuse, a triumphant voice came from outside the fence.

"Five dollars a piece, I want them all!"

Su Wenchen looked over when he heard the voice.

It turned out to be Gao Zhongwei's wife Guo Dahua, who was leaning against the fence, panting and having a smug look on her face.

"Hoo-! Hoo-!"

I am so tired. Luckily I came here in time. I didn't expect that little bastard Su Wenchen would come so early today.

After knowing that Su Wenchen left home earlier than her, she ran all the way to catch up with him.
I was almost too late, but luckily I made it in time and happened to see this guy bargaining with the other party, so I got a good deal.

Now she doesn't even have to bargain and can just buy the chicken directly.

Su Wenchen looked at Guo Dahua who was gasping for breath there.

"Aunt Dahua, these chickens are starving, which may affect their egg-laying cycle. Are you sure you want to buy them for five dollars?"

Although the Su family and the Gao family don't get along well, the chicken farm is collectively owned.

That is to say, he also has a share of the money, and Su Wenchen doesn't want to suffer losses in his own profits just because he dislikes the other party.

Guo Dahua looked at Su Wenchen warily.

"Bah, what do you mean by affecting the egg-laying cycle? You, a young boy, are trying to deceive Aunt Dahua!"

"I'm telling you, your Aunt Dahua is very smart, and your little tricks are not enough!"

"You Cai Guaizi, you just said five dollars a piece, I want them all!"

When Cai Guaizi heard this, he turned around and looked at Su Wenchen expectantly, hoping that he would raise the price again.

Because Cai Guaizi felt that Su Wenchen deliberately lowered the price because there was no one competing with him before.

When Su Wenchen saw Cai Guaizi's eyes, he knew what the other person was thinking.

But he couldn't do what the other party wanted.

He didn't even want five dollars, let alone trying to get him to raise the price. If the Gao family bought it themselves, Su Wenchen might even consider cheating the Gao family.

But if you buy for a group, cheating the other party is also cheating yourself.

Su Wenchen would not do anything that would harm others and benefit himself, but if it would benefit himself, he would consider it.

"Well, since you won't listen to my advice, Aunt Dahua, I won't say much. Just don't regret it. By the way, I will definitely report this to Secretary Gao about what happened today!"

Looking at Su Wenchen's back as he walked away without hesitation.

Guo Dahua was a little nervous.

There can’t be something really wrong with these chickens!

She immediately ran to the chicken coop, observed carefully for a while, and found that it was indeed a little listless.

But the pecking seems quite vigorous.

Cai Guaizi immediately became nervous when he saw Guo Dahua observing him. "Don't listen to that kid's nonsense. My chickens are fine. They just haven't been fed for two days. They are just a little hungry. You see, there are many poor families in the brigade who don't feed their chickens. They let the chickens find food on their own!"

After hearing this, Guo Dahua nodded repeatedly. It was indeed true. Not feeding the chickens for a few days was not a big deal, because she sometimes let the chickens out to save bran and let them find food on their own.

Thinking of this, Guo Dahua thought that the boy might have said that on purpose so that he could wait for her to leave and then come back to buy the chicken.

She absolutely could not be fooled by that boy, and he even brought up her boss to scare her. The boy would never have thought that she was urged by the boss to come here early in the morning.

However, this little bastard is really cunning! Just like his father, the captain, it's no wonder that the head of the family has never been able to take advantage of the old Su family.

Fortunately, she was smart, otherwise she would have been fooled by this guy!
Humph, now the hen has been captured by her. It shows that the little sparrow can never defeat the old thief.

I, Guo Dahua, am better!
Su Wenchen, who was rushing to the county town, was completely unaware that his reminder was being interpreted in various ways by Guo Dahua in his mind.

Arrived at the gate of the county party committee.

Su Wenchen walked into the guard room with ease, because he had known him before when he sent Jiang Li here.

The old man guarding the gate was naturally very polite to Su Wenchen when he found out that it was the county magistrate's secretary who came to pick him up personally.

After seeing Su Wenchen coming.

"Hey, why are you back so soon? Didn't you say you were going shopping?"

Su Wenchen waved his hand.

"The chickens that person is selling are not good. They have been hungry for who knows how many days. I don't know if they will lay many eggs if I buy them. Yet, he dares to ask for eight dollars per chicken."

The old security guard was shocked on the spot.

"How much? Eight dollars? Are old hens so expensive now?"

Su Wenchen took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.

"No, it's a lot. But the morning market is not cheap either. A hen that lays eggs costs at least five dollars. It's hard to find one!"

"I didn't expect that not only eggs have gone up in price, but chickens have gone up in price too! Last year, eggs were sold at 50 cents a pound at the supply and marketing cooperative, but now the price of eggs sold at the supply and marketing cooperative has gone up to 70 cents."

"If the price continues to rise, we won't be able to afford eggs. But it should be fine after a while. I heard that the mayor was furious because of the price increase."

Su Wenchen asked in confusion, "Does the mayor care about such a small matter as the price increase of eggs in the county?"

The old man looked as if he didn't understand.

"What do you know? Do you think that only our county has seen a price increase? I heard that our deputy county chief had a meeting in the city."

"I heard that eggs in the city have risen to 90 cents a pound, and pork has risen to 1.1 yuan!"

"Nine cents, who can afford this price?"

Su Wenchen was also a little surprised. "Eggs are so expensive, but people living in the city don't have any objections?"

"How could there be no objections? The opinions are very strong. Not only the city people have strong opinions, but also our county people have opinions."

"It was the textile factories in the city that took the lead and directly sent their buyers to the countryside to purchase. When other factories saw you doing this, they also followed suit and sent their buyers to the countryside to purchase."

"In the final analysis, the chickens and eggs of these state-owned factories were all supplied by the state-owned chicken farm next door. Now that the chicken farm can't supply them anymore, the factory can't afford to sacrifice itself for this!"

"The big companies that can earn foreign exchange are so rich. Not to mention eggs that cost 90 cents a pound, they can even afford eggs that cost 2 yuan a pound! How can we compete with those big companies that can earn foreign exchange!"

Su Wenchen nodded after hearing this.

In this era, these foreign exchange earning factories are indeed rich, because each of them will receive special care.

At this time, there are not many things that can earn foreign exchange, and each one is extremely precious!
"But I heard that the city replaced the director of the state-owned chicken farm next door because of the egg issue."

"It's been less than two years and we've already had three new managers. I don't know how long this one will last!"

After hearing what the old man said, Su Wenchen fell into a brief contemplation.

A few days ago, he heard Secretary He of the commune introduce that the state-owned chicken farm next door was able to supply eggs to several large state-owned factories in the city before the accident.

After the accident, they said that a new manager was replaced, but the chicken farm was divided into several factions and they started to hinder each other.

Now that new people have taken charge in the city, it is highly likely that one of the opinions will be chosen.

Otherwise, if you get a good guy to smooth things over, you'll still end up pulling each other's legs.

In this case, should I take this opportunity to look for another one?

Especially the other party’s chicken farm, which contains a batch of foreign breeding chickens specially introduced by the country.

The fact that this chicken has been approved for introduction in this era means that it must have something unique about it, otherwise it would never have cost precious foreign exchange to introduce.
