The next day, when they went to deliver the goods again, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative asked them to increase the quantity, "The 20 chickens we delivered yesterday are not enough. We will deliver 50 starting tomorrow."

At this time, rural people rarely sell chickens. They usually sell roosters. Hens are used to lay eggs. At this time, hens are called chicken butt banks. Only when a family member is sick and hospitalized will they sell a chicken. This shows how precious chickens are.

After all, you can't make money raising chickens, but you can still make some money back by keeping them for laying eggs.

Zhang Xiuhua went to the supply and marketing cooperative to deliver chickens, and the director of the cooperative asked her to deliver 10 more the next day.

She sent chickens to Tiesuo, who asked for 50 chickens. He sells them on the black market, without tickets. Many people who didn't get one yesterday bought from him.

"Okay!" Zhang Xiuhua agreed immediately.

"Why are there two more chickens here?" After counting, Tiesuo looked up at Zhang Xiuhua.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "I want to give a gift."

After paying the bill, Zhang Xiuhua rode her bicycle to the nearby middle school and went to find her talented class teacher.

She had previously paid the class teacher to tutor Youcai. Money is money, and things are things.

The high school entrance exam is just around the corner, so I have to express my gratitude in some way.

The head teacher was polite and talked about Youcai's situation. "He has a high chance of getting into high school, but it's a little risky to get into a key high school. After school, you adults still have to supervise him."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded. Youcai was not as self-conscious as Jidong. He needed someone to watch over him.

Li Jianguo helped deliver the goods for five days, and he had to go back to work on the sixth day.

He usually rests for three days, but this time, in order to sell chickens, he switched shifts with others for two days.

Zhang Xiuhua told him not to worry, she would successfully deliver all the remaining chickens.

Another five days passed in a blink of an eye, and this time it was the last day for delivery.

After Li Jianxin and Hong Bing loaded the chickens into the car, they chatted casually.

"I think it's very cost-effective to raise chickens. Do you want to raise a few? We can kill them and eat their meat." Li Jianxin asked Hongbing.

Hong Bing was really moved. "These chickens can be slaughtered in 40 days, but it takes at least a year for native chickens. So much food is wasted. It's not cost-effective."

Li Jianxin smiled and said, "I plan to raise 20. We don't have the state-owned equipment, and if we raise too many chickens, it will easily lead to chicken plague."

Hong Bing nodded, "You're right. I'll raise twenty too."

The two were talking and laughing when suddenly two people appeared in front of them. At first they thought they were passers-by, but when they got closer they found out that they were people blocking the road.

The words "bandits" immediately popped up in Li Jianxin and Hong Bing's minds, and they jumped off the donkey cart and ran away.

How scary are road bandits? They rob people, that's all. They might even kill people!

Li Jianxin and Hong Bing jumped to the left and right respectively, and then ran into the field.

A few bandits hiding in the dark were frightened away when they saw that their donkey cart had not arrived yet, and no one chased after them.

The two men standing in the middle of the road waited for the donkey cart to run over here, then immediately jumped on the cart, pulled the reins, shone a flashlight, and uncovered the black cloth. "Wow! Boss, we got rich, there are chickens inside!"

In fact, they had been observing Li Jianxin and Hong Bing for several days.

Wondering what was inside, a few hooligans in the village discussed and decided to do something about it.

They dug up the path, waited for all the donkey carts to get stuck, then pulled the people down and beat them up.

Now I see chickens. I roughly estimate there are about 200 of them.

"We're rich!" These people's voices were filled with excitement.

The leading thug was delighted, "Take them back quickly! We'll kill a few first. We can sell the rest on the black market."

**

Li Jianxin and Hong Bing fled from the small road, one on the left and one on the right, stepping on the wheat fields and corn fields, and finally gathered together. Then the two walked back home.

It was still dark at this time and Zhang Xiuhua was taking a nap in the house when someone slammed the door.

Several talented people were woken up.

Today is Sunday, Youcai and Jidong are both at home.

Hearing the noise, Youcai immediately ran over to open the door. Zhang Xiuhua put on her clothes and went out of the house, only to see Li Jianxin and Hongbing covered in dust.

"Sister-in-law, this is terrible. We encountered bandits." Li Jianxin ran out of breath.

Hong Bing was even more tearful, "I didn't even want the donkey. I just ran away."

Hong Bing just kept crying. Zhang Xiuhua asked Li Jianxin and found out that the two men encountered bandits on the way and did not dare to confront them, so they ran away.

Hearing about the robbery, Youcai stamped his feet fiercely, "Damn the robbers! I must arrest them and put them in jail."

He was furious and looked like he was going to fight with them.

Zhang Xiuhua gave Jidong a wink and ran to find the team leader.

Zhang Xiuhua soon knocked on the captain's door, and Song Lianhua was also woken up.

"Captain, this is terrible. Our chickens were stolen by bandits. Please call the members of the cooperative and help us get our chickens back." Zhang Xiuhua cried, wiping her tears.

She cried sincerely, two hundred chickens cost 1760 yuan. Her heart was bleeding.

After the team leader learned about the situation, he immediately beat drums and gongs to call the members without saying a word.

At the threshing ground, the team leader stood on a high place and shouted at the top of his lungs, "The cause of building the country is the cause of our entire village. Xiuhua raises chickens not just for herself. She is setting an example for all of us villagers. If she makes money, the whole village can also raise chickens and make money."

"We are from the same village. We cannot just stand by and watch!"

The members at that time were very simple and honest. If someone in the village was bullied by someone from another village, they would fight to the death.

Some people were jealous of Zhang Xiuhua's money before, but when they heard that they could also get a piece of the pie, their little thoughts immediately disappeared, "Everyone grab your weapons! Follow me!"

Hong Bing waved his arm, and two hundred strong laborers followed Hong Bing and Li Jianxin, each carrying a hoe, sickle or stick, and headed towards the village where the accident had happened.

Although it was dark and they couldn't see who was blocking the road to rob them, the donkey could poop and lead the way.

So a few gangsters stewed chicken at home, and the aroma spread throughout the village, and all the villagers gathered at the village entrance.

The name of this village is Zhangjiatun. From the name you can tell that most people in this village are surnamed Zhang.

The team leader went forward to negotiate first, saying that they were transporting chickens from their village to the city for sale but were robbed by villagers from your village.

In the past, if there was a conflict between two villages, everyone would definitely start fighting at the entrance of the village with weapons in hand.

But Zhangjiatun's population was not as large as Lijiatun's, and it was the busy farming season, so he didn't want to delay the farming season because of a fight. Moreover, the other party's story was very convincing, and there was even donkey dung as evidence, plus the aroma of chicken wafting from the village.

Captain Zhang was nervous and immediately asked two villagers to follow the donkey dung to find the door.

Not long after, two villagers pulled the donkey cart over. Captain Zhang's face immediately turned dark and he beat those thugs.

Rural people would not report a fight to the police station, otherwise the two production teams would become enemies.

After the two captains discussed it, Captain Zhang beat the hooligans so hard that their noses and eyes were swollen. If they continued to beat them, they would probably be dead. The captain pulled the donkey cart and left.

As for the chickens that were eaten, Captain Zhang had no choice but to accept the defeat and took some grain from the production team's granary as compensation to them.

Li Jianxin and Hong Bing continued to sell chickens, while Zhang Xiuhua went back to the village with everyone.

Zhang Xiuhua thanked the members for their help again and again, "If you want to raise chickens, tell me. I can provide breeding eggs."

The social democrats surrounded her and asked her many questions.

"Can these foreign chickens really be ready for slaughter in just over 40 days?"

"What do you usually feed it?"

"Does this chicken really weigh five or six kilograms?"

Questions came one after another, and Zhang Xiuhua motioned for them to ask one by one. She answered them one by one.

I learned that the chickens need to eat fine grains. Yes, fine grains. Zhang Xiuhua raises chickens strictly according to the standards of her previous life. Corn flour, soybean meal, wheat bran, fish meal, calcium hydrogen phosphate, salt, etc.

They have to eat sweet potatoes themselves. She actually feeds the chickens so well.

The members were amazed and said, "These chickens are raised so carefully, no wonder they are ready to be sold so quickly."
