From the Late Qing Dynasty to the 21st Century

Chapter 35 Domestic chicken changes, foreign radical changes

Seeing that there were no other surprises in the chicken farm, Shen Luoxing tidied up the things on the table, then gave instructions to the servants to keep an eye on the chicken farm, and then got into the carriage to go back to Shen's residence. up.

"I took in a pet named Xiao Hei, it's really good to cook chicken stew when I'm hungry." Shen Luoxing sat in the carriage, muttering leisurely.

At the chicken farm not far away, Xiao Hei shivered again, and the black hair on his head trembled.

In the following days, Shen Luoxing resumed a regular daily life, but compared with the past, there were more steps of visiting various shops, which also made Shen Luoxing's life less boring, of course Well, Shen Luoxing was handed over to Li Qingwan to check the books on weekdays. After all, Shen Luoxing was still quite worried about Xue'er who was making a fuss.

Of course, there will be nothing left for Xueer, that is, discussing with the tenants what kind of food to grow, and giving gifts to the guests during the New Year and holidays.

On weekdays, Shen Luoxing still lives a leisurely life in a chicken farm, with two girls and a chicken by his side, using his energy-gathering talent to continuously strengthen the two girls and Xiao Hei, it's a coincidence. The energy gathered by Shen Luoxing, the part that the two women could not absorb was just enough for Xiao Hei to use, perhaps this was destined.

And coincidentally, as Shen Luoxing continued to grow, his body was able to absorb more energy, but the two women seemed to be transforming, and the energy they needed every day was also increasing. Just like that, ordinary days Day by day, in the blink of an eye, it will be the autumn harvest two years later.

It's the time for the annual autumn harvest chicken sale again, and quite a number of guests and servants of dignitaries and dignitaries have come to Guang'an County, and it seems that there is no difference from previous years.

Shen Luoxing didn't go to the chicken farm early that day, but waited for these guests to come to Shen's house, because most of Shen Luoxing's autumn harvest chickens were purchased through reservations, so Shen Luoxing knew that there would be a lot of chickens on that day. More than 80 people came, and then within three days there were almost a hundred more, and the remaining dozen were the ones that could really show up.

This is actually the result of Shen Luoxing's control, otherwise, how could those who have experienced the effect of the Autumn Harvest Chicken let the Autumn Harvest Chicken show up, but even so, the ancient version of scalpers have appeared in recent years, which also makes Some more powerful people were able to get more autumn harvest chickens from the scalpers, so they wouldn't keep staring at Shen Luoxing.

Of course, there is a very special guest here. Every year, he is the first one to rush to Guang'an County and the first one to come to Shen's house. No, Shen Luoxing sees someone from afar. .

"Mr. Shen, our family is here again. I don't know this year's autumn harvest chicken." The person who hesitated to speak was the eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Hahaha, Eunuch Liu, what you said, how could I forget you, this year's batch of autumn harvest chickens are ready, if you want three, I will take you to the chicken coop to choose." Shen Luo Xing immediately responded with a smile.

The person known as Eunuch Liu also said with a smile: "Forget it, let's go with everyone tomorrow, so as not to be told that our family has broken the rules, but it is agreed, as in previous years, we have to choose first." .”

"Of course, why would we rob you, Eunuch Liu?" Before Shen Luoxing could speak, a person walked out beside him and said with a smile. Followed by a person, that is the steward of the Taifu's residence.

It didn't take long, there were almost seven or eight people who came today, and Shen Luoxing was unambiguous, and ordered his servants to prepare ten tables of good wine and food to entertain them.

Early the next morning, Shen Luoxing took a group of people to the chicken farm to select autumn harvest chickens. Shen Luoxing had already put the two hundred chickens that were old enough in a separate compartment of the chicken coop. Just wait for these people to come and choose.

No, it didn't take half a day, and the first group of people hadn't finished picking, but the latter group came. As a result, the selection came when the sun was about to set.

Seeing that everyone has already picked out the autumn harvest chicken, Shen Luoxing announced something in front of so many people. It is because Shen Luoxing still wants to drag the Shen family business, and he can't do it in the future. Every year, [-] autumn harvest chickens are released, and about [-] chickens are released a year depending on the situation, and Shen Luoxing doubles the price, but Shen Luoxing is also afraid that no one will buy it, so he sets the purchase limit Canceled.

What Shen Luoxing never expected was that Eunuch Liu was going to round up all the chickens for next year's autumn harvest immediately. Shen Luoxing was so frightened that he quickly made up the rule that each person can buy at most two, and Eunuch Liu can take six. .

Some of the people present were a little hesitant because of the price, and some people were indeed in a bad situation, and there was no order to buy it, so some people flinched, but before they could say that they didn't want it If they do, other people will grab all the [-] shares for the next year. It is worth mentioning that most of the people who continue to order are those who came on the first day.

On the second day, those dignitaries hadn't left yet, because there were more than a dozen autumn harvest chickens left in the chicken coop. Although they were picked, they were still the biggest chickens, and they looked absolutely good. .

At this moment, local businessmen came, most of them were local chambers of commerce and partners with the Shen family, so the dozen or so autumn harvest chickens were given priority to be sold to them, such as Shen Luoxing's father-in-law, Mr. Li. Shen Luoxing keeps two chickens for him every year, and with these two chickens every year, he hooks up with some nobles in the capital, but Mr. Li will not lose the big because of small things. Shen Luoxing gave it to him.

The price of autumn harvest chickens for scalpers will basically not increase much, because most of what they really need is human favors, so the transaction is quite smooth.

But today's situation is a little bit wrong, because two foreigners were mixed in among the group of businessmen who came. These two foreigners came here because of their fame.

This is the first time Shen Luoxing has seen foreigners in this world, so Shen Luoxing received them warmly, and secretly promised to sell them a autumn harvest chicken for each of them, so that they would not rob the rest of the place. that's it.

It didn't take long for the remaining autumn harvest chickens to go where they should go, and news of Shen Luoxing's change of rules also spread.

Hearing this news, only a few people laughed at Shen Luoxing, and most of them sighed in unison, "It's not that the autumn harvest chickens are worth 100 taels of silver, but that Shen Luoxing only sells them for 100 taels of silver. It’s all human favors, and 200 taels is not expensive at all.”

Divide the conversation into two parts, Shen Luoxing is treating guests to dinner in a restaurant right now, what are you talking about?Of course they are Westerners.

The two foreigners are from Great Britain, and they are serious businessmen. They entered the country from Guangzhou and heard the reputation of the autumn harvest chicken in the local area, so they came all the way to see if they could buy it.

These two people have heard that although the Autumn Harvest Chicken is only sold for 100 taels, the value of the qualification to buy is definitely more than 1000 taels, so the Autumn Harvest Chicken is definitely quite valuable. Selling them autumn harvest chicken, and at the price of 100 taels, the two of them also knew that they needed to accept this favor, so the three of them quickly became acquainted at the banquet.

Because the two had lived in Guangzhou for a long time, they were quite proficient in Mandarin, so for Shen Luoxing who had forgotten his English, it was not difficult to communicate.

During the banquet, Shen Luoxing heard a lot of things that happened in the West, especially when he heard that someone there seemed to have invented an electric generator this year, and it was about to enter the electrical age. After comparing it with the current Qing Dynasty, Shen Luoxing couldn't help but feel deeply powerless.

But it's just emotion, Shen Luoxing doesn't intend to change anything, because Shen Luoxing has neither the time nor the ability, you let Shen Luoxing go to the shoulder mountain to shoulder the mountain, Shen Luoxing gritted his teeth, spent dozens Years may be able to realize it for you, but if you let him pull the national production into the electrical age out of thin air, Shen Luoxing doesn't even know if you can see a glimmer of light after spending 100 years.
