Chapter 24: inquire about

   Seeing Xu Tongdao stop, Xu Changsheng also stopped, followed Xu Tongdao's gaze, and asked casually: "What are you looking at?"

   A smile appeared at the corner of Xu Tongdao’s mouth, "Do you think those sheep are pretty? Haha."

"what?"

   Xu Changsheng couldn't keep up with Xu Tongdao's brain circuit. He was taken aback for a moment. Hearing Xu Tongdao's laugh, he realized that Xu Tongdao was joking, and then he laughed.

  Xu Tongdao didn't tell him the thoughts he had just flashed.

   The flock of sheep in the big yard not far away gave him the inspiration to make money.

  Before this, he had been thinking about going to the county town to find a job for a few days, such as temporarily being a cleaver for side dishes.

  The salary of the chef is still okay. Although it is a little bit tiring, he can do anything as long as he can make money.

   It's just that he is only 17 years old, and he can't even get an ID card. It is estimated that he can serve people with side dishes at most. If you want to be a master chef, no one should dare to use him.

   But the sheep in the yard in front of him suddenly made him think that he could set up a stall in the county to sell kebabs.

   Selling skewers on the street, although it looks undecent, but he knows that as long as the business is fair, the speed of earning money must be much faster than going to work.

   As for the indecent things, he doesn't care at all.

   He wants to make money now, how much is face worth? Can he keep his family full and warm? Can you supply his younger brother and sister to study? Can the living conditions of his family be improved as soon as possible?

The answer is obvious.

   The key is that the investment in making skewers on the street does not require much investment. A small stall can be supported by an oven, a few folding tables, stools, and a little beer or something.

   Moreover, the urban management of this year has no sense of existence.

   It is allowed to set up stalls on the street.

   The main thing is that the investment in skewers is not big, but there are many people who like to eat it. In Xu Tongdao’s impression, even after twenty years, many people still love it.

   So this business can go on for a long time.

   As for whether he does barbecue?

   To be honest, he has never done it before.

   But he has been a chef for several years before, so he has heard of some barbecue techniques and seasonings. The technical difficulty is not very high, and he is confident that he can make it out.

   One of the key problems is-he heard that for barbecue, sheep meat is the best. The goat has a strong taste and old meat, and it is not tasty when grilled.

   In the nearby villages such as Xujia Village, goats that are easier to feed are common.

   This is one of the reasons why Xu Tongdao didn't think of making skewers in the past two days.

   He didn't expect that in this village, someone would raise so many sheep.

   What a surprise.

   So, when he and Xu Changsheng were walking around in this village, they consciously noticed whether there was anyone raising sheep here.

   Don't say, I didn't notice it before. With this attention, he quickly found the second, third, and even fourth family raising sheep.

   There are more or less people in each household, but without exception, they all raise sheep.

  Walking, he saw an old lady cleaning the sheep pen in the yard of a family in front of him. Xu Tongdao hesitated slightly, and said to Xu Changsheng, "Go! Come with me to ask some questions."

   "Huh? Ask a question? Ask what?"

Xu Changsheng was confused, but Xu Tongdao had already walked outside the courtyard wall of that family's house and greeted the aunt who was cleaning the sheepfold with a smiling face, "Hey, hello, auntie! You have so many sheep! Your sheep sells." ?"

The aunt who was cleaning the sheep pen with her head down was about fifty years old. She was black and thin. Hearing the words, she looked up at Xu Tongdao and Xu Changsheng in surprise. She laughed, "Well, my family has a lot of them. Why don't you sell it? Is it possible that your child still wants to buy it?"

   said, she chuckled twice.

  Xu Tongdao accompanied him and laughed twice, and said, "Auntie, I'm just curious. By the way, I think it seems that several families in your village have raised sheep. Is there someone in other villages near you who raise this kind of sheep?"

   The woman smiled, lowered her head and continued to clean the sheepfold.

Hearing this, he said casually: "Well, yes! Don't support the mountains and eat the mountains and the water to draft the water! Many of us who live on the edge of the polder have sheep, so there are so many grasses on the polder, right? Ha ha, and ah. When the floods in the river recede, there will be more grassy areas, suitable for raising cattle and sheep."

  Xu Tongdao nodded secretly in his heart. It is true that there are grasses all year round on this porch beside the river. The only difference is that the grass is green and withered.

   is indeed suitable for raising cattle and sheep.

   "Auntie, are you raising sheep like yours here?"

"Not all! It's difficult to raise this kind of sheep. Some people try to save trouble and raise goats, but how can I say! There are also many people raising my kind of sheep! After all, my kind of lamb is delicious. The price is also higher."

  ……

   After a few questions and answers, Xu Tongdao knew it in his heart.

   He doesn't know exactly how long this wading is, but it is estimated that there must be hundreds of miles. After all, this is a wading of a tributary of the Yangtze River.

   And as far as he knows, although there are sparse people near the heng~www.wuxiaspot.com~, there are basically villages.

  In other words, if the aunt is right, there are definitely a lot of sheep raised next to this polder.

   He knows that some lamb on skewers is frozen lamb, which is not fresh, but the price is cheap. If you sell it, you can make more money.

   But since his Xu Tongdao wanted to do a skewers business, he wanted to do a good job, he never thought about using frozen lamb.

  Using this kind of fresh sheep meat, the roasted taste will definitely be more delicious, which is certain.

   is that the cost is higher.

   But the higher cost, if it can be exchanged for better reputation and business, Xu Tongdao thinks it is worth it.

   He asked again how much a sheep was.

   The aunt who was cleaning the sheepfold told him that the larger one is two hundred yuan, and the smaller one is about one hundred and five.

  ……

   "Why did you ask those just now? Would you like to buy a whole sheep to eat?"

   After leaving the yard of this family, Xu Changsheng asked inexplicably.

  Xu Tongdao looked back at the sheep in the yard, smiled slightly, and casually said, "Isn't this boring! Anyway, I am idle, so I asked a few more if I was curious."

   After a pause, Xu Tongdao changed the subject, "By the way, Changsheng, how much money can you earn a day by doing small jobs behind your uncle?"

   Xu Changsheng heard the words and sighed, "15 yuan a day! Tired!"

  Xu Tongdao raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "It's okay! Your salary will definitely increase in the future."

Xu Changsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I hope! But doing a small job is really tired, I don't want to do it anymore, even my parents don't agree with me to change career, I also know what they think, I do a small job Can you earn more! They know that they will let me earn more..."
