Chapter 11: Old Man Yu
When Zhang Ziyu came to Renjia Town, he immediately went to the pawn shop. If you don't have funds at hand, you can only pawn the testimony of your friendship with Murdoch.
There was a second of silence, and then resolutely walked into the pawn shop.
Although Renjia Town is a small town, relying on the south's external economy, the development is not bad. This pawnshop is really not small.
Zhang Ziyu didn't say anything when he went in, Patek Philippe slapped on the counter and said he was dead.
When he went in, he was full of confidence, and everything for the small yellow croaker was ready.
In less than ten minutes, Zhang Ziyu came out cursing.
"Hey, my little four eyes don't know what to buy. Patek Philippe customized it. It's worth tens of millions in dollars. Just give it to me?"
According to the modern value of this watch, it would cost dozens or even hundreds of catties to replace it with gold.
In the end, I was given a thousand oceans, and it was still given for the sake of the gold shell of the watch.
Can this be tolerated?
Well, after the boss added a hundred oceans, Zhang Ziyu decisively changed.
Don't blame him for being "unpromising". In fact, a mechanical watch in this world is only about ten yuan, or a few tens of yuan.
Zhang Ziyu's watch is not only exquisite and beautiful, it is unique.
But the price ceiling is there, and without the horrible reputation of modern times, it is definitely impossible to sell it at an expensive price.
One thousand one hundred oceans is about the same.
The pawnshop owner earned at least five hundred dollars with tears in his eyes, while Zhang Ziyu suffered a little loss and only made one thousand and one dollars.
Anyway, the watch was given by someone else.
With money, Zhang Ziyu immediately went to the market to buy what he needed.
There is a lot of freedom, and the land type can be controlled by Zhang Ziyu. Plains, slopes, mountains and even water can be transformed, which can be regarded as an alternative inorganic control.
So planting things is not a problem for him at all, even the relatively picky blood orchid has been planted by him.
Covering an area of one acre, the terrain has been transformed into a mixed environment of swamps and rocks.
For the remaining thirteen hectares, or about 194 mu of land, Zhang Ziyu plans to plant half of it as crops, and the remaining 90 mu is divided into raising poultry and pigs. There are carnivorous monsters inside the mimic fence, and this kind of animal husbandry is impossible.
The seedlings and seeds of the crops are collected quickly and are not expensive. I bought a lot of seedlings of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and even rice and wheat.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ziyu went to buy the seeds and seedlings of those herbs, which were more difficult to find.
For common herbal medicines such as Angelica, Polygonum Polygoni Multiflori, Polygonatum, etc., there are still live plants, but such big medicines as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are mostly dry products, and no one will sell live plants.
"Old man, do you really have no living plants or seeds of other medicinal materials?"
"Young students, medicinal materials are more expensive when they are old. How can we herb collectors sell those small live plants? Isn't that thankless. Besides, what do you want these medicinal seedlings for?"
Zhang Ziyu said: "Try all kinds of medicinal materials, old man, help me collect medicinal seeds or seedlings, how about I give you money?"
The old farmer who sold the herbs was skeptical and asked, "How much do you want?"
Zhang Ziyu took out a big ocean and said, "For the time being, I plan to plant dozens of acres. This is the deposit."
Seeing the real gold and silver, the old man felt relieved. He thought for a while and said, "Yes, but the seedlings and seeds are all in the mountains, and they can't be dried and sent together. They can only be given in batches. Where should I find you?"
Zhang Ziyu thought for a while and said, "Still in this market, once every two days, how about I talk to you when I find a place to live?"
At the moment Zhang Ziyu lives with Uncle Jiu, so it's okay to tell him, but thinking that with money in his pocket, he will find a place to live in the town in a few days, so he decided to settle here first.
The old man Yu nodded and said: "Then do it this way. The old man will come to you with herbal seedlings in the future. However, I would like to advise you, this herb has different habits. , some Xiyang, it is not that simple to grow a living."
The old man Yu was in his early sixties, and he was an authentic mountain medicine farmer. He smashed a pipe of dry tobacco in his mouth and breathed out smoke.
He looked at Zhang Ziyu, a young man with a kind face, so he persuaded him, fearing that this young man would suffer a big loss.
If you really want to grow it, it might be good to plant some easy-to-raise skullcaps and bellflowers.
When Zhang Ziyu heard this, the old man was a nice person. One piece of ocean turned into two pieces, and he put it in his hand, saying, "Old man, I have a way to live, even if it is ginseng and ganoderma. It’s a live seedling, and I have a solution.”
When the old man heard it, he said, he has a way, but he can't persuade him any more.
He returned a big ocean, tapped the pipe on the ground, and said, "The seedlings are hard to find, but they are not worth more than the finished medicine. The deposit of two big oceans is more."
Seeing this, Zhang Ziyu didn't persuade him. Some people are too polite, and this old man Yu is such a 'stubborn' person.
Seeing that old man Yu was a nice guy, Zhang Ziyu thought that the livestock he wanted to raise had not yet been found.
So he asked: "Old man, I want to ask you something. I want to raise some animals. I don't know where to find them more conveniently?"
The old man Yu opened his eyes slightly, and looked Zhang Ziyu up and down again.
Planting medicine and animal husbandry require a lot of land, and the co-author is still a landlord.
"What do you want to raise? There are chickens, ducks and fishes in this market. If you want to raise pigs and sheep, you have to go to the countryside, or they will be slaughtered in the town."
These days, pigs and sheep slaughtered in cities and towns are basically from rural villages. In larger cities, the demand is high, so most of them are collected by pig dealers and sheep dealers, and rushed to the city to hand over to butchers.
Renjia Town is neither big nor small, and the demand is moderate, so the pigs and sheep are either brought by the butcher to the village below to collect them, or the farmers have agreed to send them directly to the butcher's house on a regular basis.
It is precisely because of this that there are almost no live pigs sold directly in the market, and even fewer pigs are sold.
Zhang Ziyu said: "Fifty chickens and ducks are needed each, and it is best to have chickens. Five pigs, one male and four females, and then 20 piglets, and the same goes for sheep."
Old man Yu said: "There are people in the old man's village and the village next door to raise them. If we gather together, we can come here, but it will cost a lot of money for you, the younger generation."
These days, pork costs between 20 and 30 cents, and a piece of pork is four to five catties of meat.
Calculated for a pig, there must be dozens of oceans, and the price of sheep is slightly cheaper, and one pig is only a few oceans less.
Of course, live pigs bought from farmers cannot be calculated at the price of the butcher.
After all, butchers also want to make money, and the price of 2 or 3 cents is already a premium.
Therefore, if Zhang Ziyu wants to buy pigs from farmers, he will cook about 30 oceans, depending on the size of the pig.
The big pig plus the little pig, and other things, add up to almost five hundred oceans.
Zhang Ziyu said: "I know this, the deposit is added to ten oceans. Tell the folks to get ready, how about I go to the village with you to collect it?"
It is naturally easy to trade herbs in this town, but with so many living creatures, Zhang Ziyu thought it was not convenient to take them away, so he simply went to the village to collect them and put them directly in the monster ranch.
"Okay, I will wait for you here in the future, and I will take it to my village when the time comes."
Seeing that the old man agreed, Zhang Ziyu took out ten yuan and was about to hand it over to the old man Yu.
Unexpectedly, the old man waved his hand and said, "No, since you're going with me, you don't need the deposit, and the deal will be done on the spot."
Chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are not belongings of his family, and it is not like going to the mountains to collect medicines. They need to be prepared in advance, so it is not appropriate to collect this deposit.
Come on, after the old man said this, Zhang Ziyu didn't say much, and walked around the market again after saying goodbye.
I bought some chickens and ducks as blood food for the python and the walking dead, and then went straight to the dental shop.
Looking for a tooth shop is naturally to buy a house, and I came out of the deep mountains and old forests from my master, isn't it just to fish more comfortably.
Although cultivation cannot be delayed, neither is fishing.
So it's not an option to live with Uncle Jiu all the time. Find a house first.
It is not difficult to find a house these days. If you go down a hundred oceans, the house will be settled.
There is a facade in the front and a yard in the back. The area is not too big or small. There is a jujube tree on the left side of the yard and a jujube tree on the right side. The greenery is good and it is suitable for sunbathing.
Zhang Ziyu was satisfied, and then went to buy the furniture. After finishing everything, he just packed his bags and moved in.
Uncle Jiu was dumbfounded, where did his nephew get so much money, could it be that he emptied the family of Simu Junior Brother.
According to the stingy appearance of my junior brother, this is not possible.
But after Zhang Ziyu said that he had pawned a family watch for money, he stopped talking.
Just a piece of advice, don't spend too much money, if you have trouble, you can find him, and the matter will pass.
The old man Yu also moved very quickly. When the time came, he arrived as promised and took Zhang Ziyu down the village to collect things.
Fifty or sixty chickens and ducks were collected, and many chickens and ducks were collected, and all the live pigs and sheep were collected.
Zhang Ziyu was lucky. Orion.com found a litter of rabbits and bought them for him.
After coming and going, the six hundred oceans were spent, plus the expenses on the house, the eleven hundred oceans left more than three hundred.
Zhang Ziyu asked the villagers to drive the living things to the path, distracted them, and then returned to the monster ranch with all these things.
