The rest of the world [farming]

There are still a lot of products in this aspect of the bank, and the number of customers buying such products has increased significantly recently, so it is relatively convenient to buy.

A few million is a lot for ordinary people, but they can't buy much in terms of buying gold and silver.Yang Wu asked Ao Mu to help him as a staff officer, and bought some gold bricks, gold bars, and some gold and silver ingots.Buy gold and silver coins for the rest.These are all produced by the bank, with the bank's mark and national certification, and it will be more convenient to circulate in the future.The public also agrees.

Ao Mu looked at his account with less than 50 left.Think about it, they were all exchanged for gold and silver.This little money is enough to buy a small gold bar, a pair of gold and silver ingots and some gold and silver coins.

In fact, using these as substitute currencies in the future is already the worst and worst situation.Of course, even the two people who are buying these things hope that after putting these things at home, they can safely exchange them for currency in a few months.

Afterwards, he took Wu Lili home, and Yang Wu was fiddling with gold and silver coins on the road. Seeing Wu Lili staring intently, he casually grabbed a handful of silver coins for her to play with.

Wu Lili knew that these were valuable, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity. She picked them up one by one and looked at them. The exquisite silver coins had a very good color in the sun, and they shone beautifully.

When the car went around and went back to the village, Wu Lili reluctantly returned the silver coins to Yang Wu.Yang Wu only smiled and said, "You can play with it."

Silver is worthless, and Yang Wu's level of prodigal, it doesn't feel bad to throw it around for fun.

"Put it away," Ao Mu patted Lili on the shoulder, "Just don't throw it away."

Wu Lili was holding the silver coins, and his mother and grandma were not around, so he was a little at a loss.

But she saw that Yang Wu had a kind face, and she had her uncle's permission.He thanked Yang Wu politely, and then waited for the car to be parked in the greenhouse, and then followed him into the building.

After entering the building, Wu Lili was curious about everything around her, so Ao Mu asked him to sit on the sofa now.Ao Ling just came down from the upstairs, and Wu Lili looked at each other for a few seconds, and hurried over to ask Ao Mu who it was.In fact, the two had met before, but Lili grew up so fast that Ao Ling couldn't recognize her anymore.

"My aunt's granddaughter. Lili, this is your aunt."

Wu Lili yelled obediently, and then Ao Mu asked Ao Ling to take Wu Lili upstairs to play.Ao Ling's psychological age is only a little older than Wu Lili, and the two of them can play together.

Ao Mu and Yang Wu went to the greenhouse first to finish their busy work.Plants need tending and livestock need to be fed and lap cleaned.

There are still too few livestock at home.But now after the two years of disasters, it is not easy to buy again.

After finishing their work, the two changed their clothes and went back upstairs. When they went upstairs, they found that Ao Ling was sharing the game cards she had collected with Wu Lili in the living room on the second floor.

Back to Ao Mu's room, the two took out all the existing gold and silver and counted them again.

"Let's try not to move these gold bricks. Gold and silver coins should be enough to buy things. Now that money is depreciating every day, it is reassuring to keep the value of this thing." Yang Wu picked up a gold coin and looked at it shining brightly. Little Panda, "I'm really reluctant to spend it. This is too pretty."

"Keep a part of it for collection. It will be more valuable after decades of waiting." Ao Mu was fiddling with a fifty-gram gold ingot.He remembered that when a child was born in the village, they paid attention to buying gold and silver for the child. Most of them were gold and silver locks or bracelets. There were also ingots, but basically only three to five grams, which were tied to the child's wrist with a red string.

Ao Mu never took it with him when he was a child.But this kind of exquisite and valuable thing, no one doesn't like it.

"According to what you said, let's get a set of commemorative coins and pass them on as family heirlooms. Maybe one of our descendants will sell them if they can't survive, and they will get rich all of a sudden." Yang Wu raised a gold coin high abandon.

"Can you have children?" Ao Mu glanced at him.

Yang Wu was startled, and didn't have time to catch the gold coin.The gold coin fell to the side of the bed, Yang Wu rushed over to pick it up, but when he pressed the gold coin by the bed, it fell down, turned around a few times and got under the bed.

Yang Wu lay on the bed and tried to reach out: "Brother Mu, press my leg."

Ao Mu glanced at the two round lumps of flesh, seeing his difficult posture, and kicked the side of his buttocks: "Don't fall. Forget it. When I turned around to tidy up the bed, it turned over and I couldn't throw it away. "

Yang Wu rubbed his butt, and sat up with difficulty: "I'm blind, yellow and orange are golden, so pretty."

Lost a gold coin, Yang Wu finally stopped playing, counted the gold and silver, kept a little in his backpack, and asked Ao Mu to put the rest in the space.There is no need to distinguish who owns whose, anyway, the things of the two are put together, and I have long forgotten whose things are whose.

"Let's go to the horse market you mentioned in the afternoon. Buy some more animals." Yang Wu suggested.

"Have you decided what to buy?" Ao Mu asked.

"Look. It's best to sell two cows. By the way, there are sheep. I want to try how it feels to shear sheep. It's a pity that we can't buy horses here. I bought all the harness. It's a pity." Yang Wu said.

Ao Mu opened his notebook to see if he had watched any movies downloaded in it: "When I was young, I heard that there were horses in the neighboring village, but I don't know if they still raise horses. You can ask the village chief for help later. Pay attention. At worst, we will give him one-tenth of the price as a patchwork (price difference) fee."

Yang Wu's eyes lit up: "Then try it. If the horse is raised, I will teach you how to ride it."

"I'm afraid I'll fall to my death." Ao Mu insisted, but didn't say any more.

In the afternoon, I went to the horse market. The current situation in the horse market is simply described as sparse.There are very few people selling livestock, and even fewer people come to see it.And basically they just look at it and don't buy it, they just go door-to-door to inquire about the price.

The two looked around and saw someone buying a donkey.It was sold by a young man.

Ao Mu went over to see that the donkey was quite energetic, and stepped forward to ask, "How old is this donkey?"

The young man looked about the same age as Ao Mu, and he was thinner.Apparently being asked too much, he said listlessly: "Just three years old. He's quite strong. Not too donkey, just be obedient."

"Just this end?" Ao Mu stretched out his hand to touch the donkey, but the donkey didn't hide.

The man sighed: "This is the end of my house. Before, the old man collected the junk and used him to pull the cart, but he just bought it the year before last. Now that the old man has gone, the house doesn't plan to continue dumping the trash, and the family has nothing else to use him for. I can't bear to kill and eat meat, so I can only sell it."

There is a saying that dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground.Donkey meat is delicious, but the price is not cheap.I couldn't bear it when the days were good, let alone now.Rather than eating it, it is better to sell it in exchange for food to eat for a long time.

"Then do you know where I can buy a few more donkeys? I bought yours, but one is not enough. I would like to buy a few more for breeding." Ao Mu patted the donkey's strong neck.

Ao Mu likes to eat donkey meat, and the donkey can carry things or pull a cart that is not too heavy.As long as it is a short distance, it can completely replace a car and save money on gas.

The man got a little more energetic: "Yes, there are, but I don't know if I can keep them now. There is a small donkey farm near my uncle's village, and there are thirty or forty donkeys at most. If you want me Take you there and ask."

"Okay, but I don't have time today. Tomorrow, you can send the donkey directly to my house, and I'll pay you the shipping fee." Then Ao Mu negotiated the price with him, "You collect the grain. How much grain?"

The man's eyes lit up, and then he was a little embarrassed: "It's really hard to calculate. Food is too difficult to buy now, and the government still limits it. But my donkey is not cheap. It will not be easy to find in the future. Like this Well, I won’t say anything to you. Let’s calculate according to the previous price. In the past, such a donkey could sell for seven or eight thousand. I’ll count it as seven thousand for you. For food, if you choose a good rice, it’s only three yuan a catty. Divide the seven thousand by three……"

"More than two thousand and three hundred." Ao Mu was a little embarrassed to hear the price, it was too expensive.They do have them at home, and they don’t even blink when they bring out tens of thousands of catties of grain.But buying a donkey is still a bit extravagant.

Seeing him hesitated.The man was so busy: "There's no need to be so meticulous, just two thousand, and I'll send it home for you. It doesn't count the delivery fee. Is that okay?"

Ao Mu glanced at Yang Wu and asked him if he would buy it or not.

Yang Wu turned his eyes and said with a smile: "I want to see what the mule looks like."

Mules are the product of the mating of horses and donkeys. Yang Wu has already decided to raise horses, and now that he has donkeys, mules are close at hand.

"I bought it." Ao Mu said, "You male and female? I plan to buy two males and two females together. You can take us to find them tomorrow, but can you please help me to lower the price. Although I have food at home , but not that much."

"That's easy to say. We have this business to make friends."

Ao Mu struggled to bring out a sack of [-] catties of rice from the trunk and gave it to the young man: "This is a deposit, and it will be delivered in the afternoon. This is my home address. My home is a village clinic, and you can ask anyone for it." .”

Paying the deposit directly is also because Ao Mu trusts them.The young man looked at the rice and couldn't hold back the smile on his face: "Men, to tell you the truth, the family is almost at a standstill recently. The government can buy food, but there is a limit every day, and there are always times when we can't grab it. My family has been eating corn for more than half a month. If it wasn’t for the [-] catties of rice distributed by the government last time, my family would have almost forgotten what rice tastes like. There is a grandmother, a mother, and two children in my family. , a total of six people, the two thousand gold rice is enough for two years."

It is a conservative estimate to eat for two years, especially the older the child, the better he can eat, and he may not be able to persist for two years.In any case, two years' rations in exchange for a donkey is already very extravagant.

"It's all trivial. If the price of buying another donkey is right, I can give you some introduction fee." Seeing that it was really not easy for him, Ao Mu touched the donkey again, and then went to look at other things.

The only livestock in the family are cattle and sheep.There are only two cows, obviously not enough.

There were actually two cattle sellers in the horse market, but they were all scalpers, and there were no cows that Yang Wu wanted.
