The Sweet Little Fulang - Chapter 153
A fat rabbit can be sold on the street for forty-five fen, and the back kitchen of the brothel buys a lot.
Shen Yaoqing smiled and said, “Brother Luo has a heart for this price.”
Luo Biao smiled and said, “Brother Shen doesn’t know what the brothel is, it’s a gold-selling cave, not to mention forty-five coins, it’s fifty coins a piece, and the rabbit will be put in the building at this price. You can earn 20 to 30 cents for a single dish, not to mention that after the rabbit is skinned, there is still rabbit fur that can be used and sold, the business there, even I can’t get involved in, it’s someone else’s business.”
“Since the second brother Shen is entrusting me, how can I not give my heart to my own affairs? I will also make a solid statement with the elder brother Shen. The chef reported the price on the book, but it was fifty cents, and we also suffered from him. , It’s just this matter, Big Brother Shen must not make a statement.”
“It’s natural.” Shen Yaoqing didn’t understand this truth, so he hurriedly agreed.
Luo Biao looked at the chickens in the henhouse again and said, “Second Brother Shen said that eggs, ducks and eggs can be sold to the building. Although eggs are expensive, the price is not as high as that of rare wild things such as rabbits. Thirteen articles will not change in winter and summer, if Brother Shen thinks it’s okay, I will tell you in the same building that I will let Brother Shen deliver the eggs in the future.”
This price is a few cents lower than the market, but it will be a long-term deal in the future, and the thirteen cents will not suffer, Shen Yaoqing nodded without hesitation, “This price is feasible.”
“And this chicken and duck, first of all I was worried that the hens and ducks would lay eggs, maybe not a few of them could be sold, but today I have a look, there are so many raised, the building is not a tavern restaurant, and the distinguished guests went to drink more, Chicken, duck, and fish are just a foil, but they are also indispensable, how about one fifteen wen?”
Luo Biao paused and said again: “I know that chickens and ducks that lay eggs are expensive, and they sell for seventeen or eighteen cents, or even twenty cents. When the time comes, you can choose to send some that are neither fat nor thin, and if it is too fat, we will keep it for ourselves, or eat it or sell it, otherwise we will lose money.”
Because the chickens and ducks at home were not raised by Shen Yaoqing, he did not hide it and said, “The price of chickens and ducks is easy to say, but it depends on whether my mother sells them or not. The dozen old hens and ducks she raised are two or three years old. , laying eggs is not as good as little hens, if you want to sell it, it is not impossible, if you breed more spring chicks next year, you will still be able to raise and lay eggs.”
He asked again: “Is there a lot of chickens and ducks in the building recently? This is the first time I do business with the building. I’m not sure. The chickens and ducks raised by the millet are too few. Among the chickens and ducks, there should be seventeen little hens, fifteen little ducks, and they can lay eggs, and there are 30 old chickens and old ducks left, and if the mother wants, they can sell them to the building.”
After listening to him, Luo Biao said, “It doesn’t matter, it’s just a few that can be sold. The cook in the building will go to the street to buy it every three or two days. If you can deliver it, he will save energy. If you only send it, you will definitely receive it.”
“That’s it, I’ll talk to the old lady later. If she wants to sell it, I’ll go to the building and sell it.” Shen Yaoqing agreed with a smile.
Luo Biao also smiled and said: “The ten rabbits are going to be brought back today, but the ones I want to live in the building will be slaughtered at that time, and I have to bother Big Brother Shen with me to get the rabbits back, and also call Big Brother Shen and the back kitchen by the way. People recognize a familiar face, and if I’m not there when I deliver things in the future, they will recognize you and talk easily.”
“It’s easy to talk about.” Shen Yaoqing agreed, and since he mentioned the rabbit, he led Luo Biao to the rabbit shack in front of him.
The last time Shen Xuanqing went to town to sell six rabbits, the largest litter had thirteen rabbits. Not to mention this litter, the two litters of rabbits that were half a month and a month apart were not too small. , a total of forty-two, and by the beginning of the next month, they will have been raised for half a year.
Rabbits are good at this, they are born a lot, they can be sold in half a year, no matter how much they want in the building, they can afford it.
When he came to turn around just now, he didn’t have a detailed count. Luo Biao couldn’t help laughing at the hundreds of rabbits in the nest, and praised: “Sure eldest brother Shen and second brother Shen have the courage. Just.”
Shen Yaoqing stretched out **** and said with a smile: “There are twenty pairs of breeding rabbits, some of these are older, some are almost half a year old, and some are two or three months old. Except for the sold ones, there are still one hundred and ten pairs. Just, look at this month-old little rabbit, it was separated from the mother rabbit after weaning, it was born in the same month, and there were a total of 118 rabbits.”
He has to build a rabbit nest, and after raising it, he has to shovel manure and feed the grass every day.
Luo Biao was delighted to hear it and admired it very much. He raised a thumb and said in admiration, “It’s really extraordinary.”
As soon as he said it, Shen Yaoqing said more: “It’s also because we don’t have enough rabbit cages in the rabbit nest, and the weather is cold, so we have to separate the male rabbits and female rabbits, and no longer let them live, so as to save the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month.”
“These hundreds of animals are enough to raise, and it won’t be too late to regenerate when spring starts next year.” Luo Biao replied following his words.
“Indeed.” Shen Yaoqing nodded, there is no green grass for rabbits to fight in winter, so it really can’t raise too much.
He looked at the rabbits in the cage. Before dinner, he had time to cook the meat. He simply opened the cage door, pulled a fat rabbit out of the cage, and said, “Since Brother Luo is here today, I won’t call you. Taste this rabbit meat and let others know, they must say that I am not well entertained.”
Luo Biao quickly waved his hand and said, “Big Brother Shen didn’t know, that day when Second Brother Shen came to find me in the town, he left four rabbits behind. I brought one to the back kitchen and had a drink with the chef. I have tasted it.”
If you want to deal with the back kitchen, you will definitely not be able to do it without giving people a little benefit. Shen Yaoqing naturally understands this truth, his expression remains unchanged, and he still smiles: “Hey, what you do in the building is different from that at home, I asked your sister-in-law to make a spicy stir-fry today. Rabbit meat, even if it’s not as good as a chef, you can taste your own craftsmanship.”
Seeing that he couldn’t shirk, Luo Biao didn’t give in any more. Since he was dealing with the Shen family honestly, there was no need to say those vain words.
He took out a piece of red cloth from his arms, which was wrapped with scattered silver and copper plates, and handed it directly to Shen Yaoqing, saying, “This is the rabbit’s money, we have not seen it outside, let me make it clear to you that it is five and eight. Fifteen copper coins, Big Brother Shen quickly put them away.”
Shen Yaoqing took the red cloth and wondered: “Ten is only four hundred and fifty wen, it should be four coins and fifty copper coins, how come there are so many?”
Luo Biao smiled and said: “And the three rabbits that Second Brother Shen left with me last time, I sold them to the building, and the money will naturally be given to you.”
It turned out that Shen Yaoqing put the shivering rabbit on the rabbit cage, opened the red cloth in his hand, and the broken silver and copper plates inside were presented in front of the two of them.
Don’t be afraid of the rabbit jumping from high places, even if it jumps, if there is a big white here, he will definitely be able to pounce.
“Er Qing said when he left that since he has accepted your kindness, he will naturally have a share of the money he makes…” Luo Biao interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
Luo Biao waved his hand, without even looking at the red cloth opened in his hand, he frowned and said, “Don’t break me, what is my relationship with Second Brother Shen? I can still help this little bit, no need to say more.”
After saying that, he turned his head to leave, but his temper was very strong.
“Hey.” Shen Yaoqing smiled and took his arm, did not let him go away, and said, “Brother Luo is still too outspoken, don’t talk about you, I have agreed with you second brother Shen, this house is built like a He spends money, not to mention other livestock, and the account for selling rabbits is between six and four, and we both calculate it so clearly.”
“I’ll also tell you the truth. Before you came, we both said that the price of the building should be forty cents. I never thought about five cents more, so you should have a lot of luck. Besides, if it wasn’t You, how can we have a relationship with the building, these rabbits are pulled to the town to sell, if the business is not good, they can’t sell for a few dollars a day.”
If it was someone else, Luo Biao would not be soft at all, but the Shen family was different and told him not to be ruthless, there is no reason to deduct his brother’s money backwards.
But seeing that Shen Yaoqing was already counting the coins, he raised his hand to block the opponent, and said in a deep voice, “Since Brother Shen looks up to me and treats me as his own brother, he is willing to make money with me, but I’m just a few words in the same building. Eat wine and meat, you must not take these, it is not easy for you to raise rabbits, so, if I want to eat wine and meat in the future, I will come to my house to find my two brothers, and then prepare some good wine and meat for me, it is worth it. How about this amount of money?”
Seeing that he was sincere and different from those outside, Shen Yaoqing thought that if he really gave the money, it would have humiliated the friendship, so he put away the red cloth, cupped his hands and said with a smile: “That’s Brother Yiluo.”
As soon as the words fell, the rabbit on the bamboo cage suddenly kicked its legs and jumped to the ground two or three times to escape.
Luo Biao laughed and rolled up his sleeves while staring at the direction the rabbit was fleeing.
Dabai was used to hunting with Shen Xuanqing before, and it was almost instinctive to chase rabbits, so he ran over without saying.
When Shen Yaoqing brought the rabbit and Luo Biao to his hometown, and saw Ji Qiuyue and Lu Gu busy in the kitchen, he asked if he wanted to cook four dishes, or killed the rabbit.
Luo Biao has no parents, it can be said that he doesn’t even have a home. Now he lives in a rented house. Where can someone cook for him? He eats duck egg custard drizzled with fragrant sesame oil. There are also rice dishes and fried autumn vegetables, but the ones made at home are different.
He is a man of five big and three rough. He doesn’t like to show himself in front of people. His face doesn’t change much, he only sighs and sighs in his heart.
—
Shen Xuanqing hadn’t come back yet, and he lived his life as usual. The family was very happy because there was a new way to sell rabbits.
Although Luo Biao was a thug in the brothel, he was so real that even Wei Lanxiang couldn’t blame him.
The sky was getting colder and the autumn wind was rustling. Lu Gu added an extra coat to keep out the cold. He couldn’t take it easy. He and Shen Yan went to the river to dig grass roots. There was no fresh grass to dig. rabbit.
He squatted in the barren field, his hands were full of mud, he dug out a piece of grass root with soil, and threw the clod on top of it on the ground and it was shaken off.
Looking up to see Shen Yan standing up to rest, he smiled and said, “It’s almost full, you go and rest, and I’ll do the rest.”
Shen Yan reached out and shook the bamboo basket, looked at the grass roots inside and said, “Brother Guzi, this should be enough. Seeing that the day is busy, you should take a rest anyway, your legs and feet are tired enough.”
When she said this, Lu Gu’s fatigue was not so obvious, but she was a little thirsty, so he obeyed her words, got up and rested for a while, then picked up the bamboo basket and walked towards the new house.
Seeing that the back door was in front of him, before the two of them entered, Lu Gu heard the barking of a dog from the far side of the mountain, and immediately stopped to look towards the hillside.
