After leaving the company, Zhang Heng hurriedly went to a nearby bookstore to buy a lot of books on the art of war, including the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which he had always been keen on before. When he checked out, he almost broke a thousand yuan, so he could only secretly smack his tongue. When he was studying in the past,
I'm not even willing to buy extracurricular books that cost a few dollars each...
I packed these books in cardboard boxes, called a taxi and set off again.
The stick-bang army in the southern mountain cities is famous all over the world, which is similar to the long-term workers who help out in the village. The characteristic of Chengdu is that there are many lathe workers. These lathe workers can range from riding a human tricycle to as large as a freight truck. They are all called lathe workers. Every day
They all parked their cars at the entrance of various alleys, maybe under the shade of a tree, put sacks, sticks, ropes, etc. in the small car, then lay down inside, slept when there was no work, and got up and boarded the car when there was work.
Just leave.
Non-motor vehicles, that is, vehicles that do not burn gas and oil, are generally not managed by anyone and can be used on the road at will.
Zhang Heng arrived at a nearby lathe shop at this time, got out of the taxi, thought about it, called a small four-wheeler, negotiated a rough price, and set out on the road. He had called such lathes several times before, and it was not bad.
Have some experience.
The little four-wheeler master was around fifty years old. The vehicle was naturally quite old, but it could still be driven on the road. However, because it was a motor vehicle, it could not be driven into the central city during the day. Fortunately, Zhang Heng was heading to the suburbs now.
"Boss, the farmer's market you mentioned is in the eastern suburbs. It's just that it's so late, so I don't know if there are any piglets or anything like that."
Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Well, there are a lot of places to go. Let's go to the farmer's market first, and then go to the scrap station."
"Okay, I'll take a shortcut and catch up before it gets dark," the master said enthusiastically.
Piglets are usually sold on a motorcycle in a small town, with a large bamboo basket hanging on one side, which can carry up to four piglets at a time. After the price is negotiated, the piglets are delivered to the villagers' homes, but the villagers basically arrive in the village in advance.
When I reserve piglets, I count the time with my fingers. I have to pull the pigs after sixty days or two months. Otherwise, if I raise a piglet for an extra day, it will cost more than ten yuan for a piglet. The price gap between piglets and live pigs is a bit big.
He smiled and said that his situation was different now. There was no need to care about such a little philistine, as long as he could buy piglets.
It was just after 6:30 when the car arrived at the Nongmao Market. When I saw the situation, I immediately regretted not coming here in the morning. The goods in the evening were indeed much different. They were all leftovers picked by others, and there were few varieties.
Moreover, his request was quite special. He only wanted to buy uncastrated ones, otherwise they would be useless. Although the castrated ones grow faster, they cannot reproduce.
I was very lucky today. A batch of cubs happened to be brought into the market. They were originally meant to be sold the next morning. They usually arrive at the market at midnight, but they happened to be early today.
Zhang Heng went on a shopping spree and bought more than 20 lambs, priced at 18 yuan a pound, but the lambs were light in weight. He also bought uncastrated straw pigs, that is, sows, and bought 15 of them.
, the price is also relatively expensive, 15 yuan per catty. If it is castrated, it only sells for about 9 yuan per catty, but this is because the weight ratio after castration is different.
However, there are no uncastrated male pigs for sale. Nowadays, artificial breeding has been carried out in the village, so I can understand the market situation. I can't help but think of the Blood Wolf King and wonder if I can find animals similar to wild boars to breed with sows.
I also bought some local dogs, of course they were all grass dogs, which are used for breeding with wolves. Although I bought seven last time, they were all the blood wolf king's species, which is not easy to reproduce.
But the calf was not bought. The calf in the village usually does not matter the weight, because cows basically only give birth to one animal at a time. It is difficult to calculate the price in terms of weight, and it has to be booked in advance. Zhang Heng simply left a phone number to let him know if he had the calf.
inform him.
As for horses, they were not available. There were two mules for sale, and the price was about three thousand yuan. However, the mules were infertile, so it was useless to buy them.
I also bought some other geese, ducks, chickens, etc. Although there is already a space for chickens and ducks, the varieties are different. There are many varieties of ducks, so I simply bought a lot of them all.
After loading the livestock into the car, Zhang Heng wiped his forehead. He was going to be very busy tonight, because the purchase had just begun...
Coal was not available in the city, so I had to choose briquettes. I bought dozens of them, and the price was very cheap. I bought them just to provide samples, and spread the word to various tribes to help find coal, because coal may exist in the open air, especially
In this kind of mountainous and forested area, there is definitely a lot of coal buried underground. If you find an open source, you can slowly mine it.
Taking advantage of the convenience of transportation, I bought some more rice and loaded dozens of bags into the car, as well as salt and other daily necessities. Then I wrote down the seeds, such as corn, glutinous rice, etc., and also bought fruit trees, such as
Common ones in the south: oranges, glazes, loquats, plums, pears, dates, peaches, etc., and pepper trees are also available, but watermelons, apples, etc. are not available because they can only be grown in greenhouses here.
So it is not easy to buy seedlings.
Of course, I bought a lot of vegetable seeds. I bought some of all the varieties I saw. Now I don’t have to think too much about buying because there are big pillars. Just send them into the space and let the big pillars handle them.
The things were almost ready, and the small four-wheeler was also full at this time. I couldn't estimate accurately, so I had to take the goods back and make another trip to pick up the scrap steel.
Just as the car was driving out of the market, Zhang Heng suddenly called out: "Master, stop for a moment." Then he opened the car door and ran out with excitement, because he saw sugar cane, and it was with fresh and tender sugar cane.
At this stage, the tender tips of the sugarcane can germinate and grow when buried in the soil.
It's not easy to come across it usually, because sugar cane farmers will cut off the young tips to save seeds. I didn't expect that I was really lucky today, and I happened to encounter it. I quickly bought a bundle. Who would have thought that sugar cane is not cheap?
One yuan and a half per catty, the price in the village is about 50 cents, wholesale is even cheaper, at least three times more expensive.
"Okay, master, help me get xxx first."
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the small courtyard that was rented as a warehouse. A big dog was wandering around in the yard, as ferocious as a wolf. However, Zhang Heng had been prepared and tied the dog with a chain as soon as he entered the door.
"Boss, the dog you raise looks like a wolf. It must be expensive." The master said with some jealousy.
"Haha, it was a gift from a friend." He was vague and didn't say much.
The industry has its own rules. Chatting with customers is just to pass the time. If you look into it, it is annoying. The master obviously understands, so he doesn’t ask any more questions and quickly helps to unload the goods. All he needs to do is unload the car. The master
Standing in the carriage and handing it down, Zhang Heng then took the items and got out of the car. They cooperated with each other and the speed was very fast.
After unloading, I looked at the time and saw that it was almost half past seven, but I was not in a hurry because it was obviously more appropriate to trade knives at night, as they were controlled products after all.
The next step is to buy scrap steel, which is much faster than expected. It is directly weighed and loaded at the scrap station, and then hauled to the yard and dumped. It is dumped on the ground in one go without manual unloading. I bought more than five tons. It is completely
It's enough for Taihao's current needs.
After paying the two hundred yuan for the car, Zhang Heng stuffed another pack of cigarettes, wrote down the old master's phone number, and contacted him if necessary in the future. He followed the car out of the warehouse, got off the car when he reached the bustling street, and took a taxi.
Went to the large warehouse of Lin's knives.
"Boss Lin, I will be at the warehouse soon. Are you ready?"
"Everything is ready. I'll pick you up at the door right away."
