Previously, when I was still in Xiaolaojun Mountain.
Luo Xuan came to the market with the idea that "if you just look around, you may not be able to buy big livestock."
difficult times,
Everyone is living a difficult life, so how is it possible that there are still many big livestock to be sold?
And even if a cow can be sold for a few hundred yuan, according to the current market prices in the frog market, it actually can't buy many kilograms of rice.
If you think about it this way, it is not cost-effective to sell large livestock now.
I never expected that!
The livestock trading market was still crowded with people, donkeys, mules, ponies, oxen, piglets...
All kinds of large livestock flooded the market.
There are all kinds of bargaining voices. The voices of scalpers who belittle the big buffalo and exalt others are endless.
At the livestock trading market, what is unexpected is that there are actually a lot of people bringing large livestock to sell today!
Since there are many people coming to sell it, the price is probably not too expensive.
Originally I didn’t know how to choose these things, I would only choose them based on money: If they are sold too cheap, there must be something wrong!
Or the teeth are very old.
Either it was overworked in the past, and there are hidden injuries in the body of such a big animal.
actually,
Buying big livestock is similar to buying a house for future generations: it has a general market price.
The buyer should not think about getting a big deal, and the seller should not try to deceive the other party too much.
It can definitely be regarded as a penny worth a penny.
and,
This kind of commodity involves large cash transactions, in order to prevent buyers and sellers from cheating each other and causing serious disputes.
So in this trading market, there is also a "trading fair officer".
After reaching a transaction intention for any large livestock, the buyer and seller will invite the transaction fairer.
Let him see if the quality of the big livestock he is going to sell is worth the money?
If the difference is 10 yuan or 20 yuan, the trading fair officer will not care.
But if the price gap is too big, he will terminate the deal...
This is mainly because both parties participating in the market now come from different production teams.
They represent their respective groups and participate in the transaction.
This is very different from the old society, where buyers and sellers were allowed to grow wildly, each relying on their own abilities, and allowed to be deceived and abducted.
The nature is completely different.
There is no such thing as a collective cheating a collective. After all, on the surface, everyone likes to say: We are a brother production team.
Since we are brothers, it is enough for each other to settle accounts wisely.
But you must not cheat or deceive.
Moreover, even if you deceive the other party.
Both parties involved in the transaction, in fact, personally do not get half a dime of benefit!
therefore,
The current large livestock trading market is actually relatively transparent, fair and fair.
Luo Xuan walked around the market twice and finally bought a two-year-old foal for 335 yuan.
This foal is a typical Yunnan horse: short and doesn't eat much.
The characteristic of Yunnan horses is that they cannot run very fast, but they are very hardworking and very suitable for transporting goods over long distances.
In the past, the caravans that carried tea bricks and salt on the Ancient Tea Horse Road used Yunnan horses as their favorite means of transport.
Luo Xuan planned to buy this horse and put it at the entrance of the reserve, with brothers Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Lao Er taking care of it.
If Zhou Laoer has something to do and needs to go to Xiaolaojun Mountain, he can also ride on it.
Traveling with a horse is always faster than walking, which can also improve efficiency.
More importantly, if you meet Chen Xiaoduan and need to go into the mountains to reunite with her mother.
This horse can also be used as a means of transportation for her.
After buying the horse, Luo Xuan planned to continue riding around.
"Luo Xuan, why are you here?"
take the foal,
Tied to the fence of the trading market, Luo Xuan continued to wander.
But the voice of the captain of the Wutong Brigade came from beside him, "I see from your appearance that you are planning to buy some big livestock, right?
Luo Xuan, why don't you come and take a look at my three mules? Can you see if I can see them?"
Luo Xuan turned around and saw that it was indeed his old acquaintance: the captain of the Wutong Brigade.
Generally speaking,
The person who leads the production team or the large livestock in the brigade to trade, at most, the team leader, and is accompanied by an accountant and breeder.
The captain can barely manage and can be regarded as half a public servant.
Cadres at his level would generally not get involved in such nonsense.
“Now is the time to continue drought relief and require large livestock to haul water to the fields.
Others are eager to have more big livestock in the production team, the better, so why do you take them out and sell them?"
Luo Xuan stepped forward and patted the maroon mule.
It feels good in hand!
This mule is quite strong.
The captain sighed, pulled Luo Xuan aside, and whispered, "To fight the drought, we really need big livestock to work hard. But the problem is, we don't have much grain in the warehouse to feed so many big livestock.
This guy can carry the food quota of 10 members on one head!
Should we protect people first or protect these big livestock first? This has to be a question of trade-off.
Actually, people who are willing to sell big livestock probably do so because of my thoughts. Otherwise, who would be willing to sell it?"
After listening to this, Luo Xuan finally understood: What the captain meant was to sell the livestock and save some food rations to save lives.
Or should we keep the big livestock so that the production team’s future harvests can be more secure?
Of course, the commune members are eager for the production team to have a higher crop harvest, so they need to keep large livestock to help with the work.
But if we keep such big animals, the food rations of the commune members will be even more tight.
during this difficult time.
For the members of the production team, their rations are only 3 taels a day.
to be honest,
This small amount of food is not even enough to squeeze through the teeth. But even with this small amount of food, many production teams are still unable to distribute it in full and in sufficient quantities.
By retaining large livestock, the production team's future harvests will be more secure.
And selling it can make the rations of the current members more abundant...
Is this a case of looking first at the present?
It’s time to consider the long-term dilemma.
Selling large livestock is equivalent to slow suicide, cutting the flesh with a dull knife.
Not selling it is equivalent to jumping off a cliff and dying immediately.
well.....
As things have developed now, Luo Xuan has completely understood the dilemma of Captain Wu Cong in front of him.
actually,
Even if he sells these large livestock, he won't be able to get much food back.
Moreover, the process of selling the livestock in the production team is quite difficult.
In this period,
The large livestock in the production team are registered in the commune. Every mule, cow, and pig is registered.
Each production team has no right to dispose of its own livestock at will.
Not to mention killing them privately.
Only with the consent of the brigade, it will be reported to the commune and the registration data of this large animal will be deleted.
You have to go through this series of processes.
Only production teams can bring large livestock to the market for sale.
If the cows, pigs, mules, etc. of a certain production team become seriously ill and cannot be fed anymore.
You need to ask the animal husbandry to go to the production team to confirm on site and then issue a certificate.
Finally, it can be sold to the food station of the supply and marketing cooperative, and they will be responsible for slaughtering and selling it.
Luo Xuan asked the other party how much he wanted to sell it for.
Then Luo Xuan proposed: Use grain to pay the bill, 1 catty of good corn is worth 0.8 yuan.
In this way, everyone saves trouble and does not have to hand over cash.
When the Wutong captain heard this, his bitter melon face suddenly turned bright red like an apple on the treetop!
You know, the current price of food in the frog market is one price per day.
It is said that
Nowadays, the better-quality corns are sold at the frog market for 9.3 cents per pound.
Captain Wutong knew that there were two types of grains in Luo Xuan's hands: one was the old grains that were pounded out from the breeding factory and specially used for feed.
This kind of grain is very aged and tastes bad.
There is another kind of grain in Luoxuan, which is the kind of grain that the mysterious grain merchant once sold to the Wutong Brigade.
The quality of this corn is very, very good.
If sold in the frog market, even if this kind of corn sells for 1 yuan per catty, there will be a lot of people rushing to get it.
Captain Wutong felt that he had made a profit, but Luo Xuan felt that he had not suffered a loss either.
After all, for these three mules, I have to pay thousands of kilograms of grain to others.
And with such a large amount of grain, it is impossible for me to take it to the frog market and sell it.
do that,
It’s very troublesome, and the risks are too great.
You must know that in the frog market now, food is first-class and the most precious thing.
Those dealers will inform each other and guard against each other.
If anyone dares to sell at a lower price, or suddenly sells a large amount of food, it will cause anger among the food dealers.
these guys,
They like to sell grain little by little, steadily and squeeze out.
Every time grain is sold, the price increases a little.
In this way, they will feel a great sense of satisfaction in their hearts.
If someone suddenly sells a large amount of grain on the market, it will definitely cause a group of grain dealers to attack.
It is neither preventable nor controllable. Market conditions fluctuate sharply, and shipments surge and plummet...
This situation is not the trading style that those grain dealers like.
Although I say that I have a good relationship, those grain dealers are certainly not kind people.
Isn’t it good to sell grain quietly and make a fortune quietly?
Why go out and fight them?
After Luo Xuan and Captain Wutong discussed the quantity of grain and the approximate time of the transaction, they were about to go to the market to have a look.
At this moment,
But I saw Lao Wang, who was on duty at the door, bringing a beautiful girl to this side of the crowd in the market...
"Luo Xuan!"
Lao Wang squeezed through the bustling crowd and finally got in front of Luo Xuan.
His face was shining brightly, and he waved towards Luo Xuanmeng, "Luo Xuanna, someone is looking for you! Oh, I'm exhausted. It's not easy to find you..."
Luo Xuan smiled slightly, then handed over a cigarette.
This old Wang's expression and language are so exaggerated. He just wants to take credit and reward in front of himself...
Since he is performing so hard, it is appropriate to hand him a cigarette as a token of appreciation.
A "Hongmei" cigarette costs only 1 cent and 8 cents.
Calculating myself today, it is equivalent to spending thousands of dollars.
Still care about this?
"You go outside the market first, under the grove over there, and wait for me. This place is not suitable for you."
Luo Xuan sent Lao Wang away, and then said to Lu Miao: "I buy and sell things quickly, don't worry. If you can't wait for a while, I will go over."
Lu Miao smiled sweetly, "Brother Luo Xuan, you are really weird! You are obviously not a member of the production team, but you come here to buy and sell livestock?"
Luo Xuan chuckled: "There is no way, what flows in our bones is the blood of rural people.
Even my breath smells like earth! I'm afraid we will never be able to leave the countryside for the rest of our lives."
Lu Miao is like a colorful auspicious cloud, floating in this earth-yellow livestock trading market.
It’s so alien and eye-catching!
Today, Lu Miao is wearing a small floral dress and very fashionable leather half-high heels.
That kind of fabric,
At first glance, it looks like high-end imported goods. It is definitely not high-end goods that can be bought in department stores of supply and marketing cooperatives.
Especially the pair of extremely rare leather shoes on Lu Miao's feet.
Other people's shoes are made of real cowhide.
As for Lu Miao's pair of leather shoes, they were made of crocodile leather and were handmade by famous craftsmen!
