Chapter 97 8 Rat Poison

Qin He looked at a large bottle full of sweet potato kuai that was emitting a faint blue light, and he was vaguely looking forward to the effect tomorrow morning.

I hope that the skills produced by the system will not let me down!

That night, Qin He lay on the bed, his mind was full of the shadow of the mouse, missing its jumping and squeaking.

But the more he thought about it, the less it would come. The room tonight was extraordinarily quiet, and Qin He didn't dare to move around in bed, for fear of disturbing the mice.

After waiting for most of the night, there seemed to be silence around his ears, and he never heard any more creaking sounds. Qin He was really sleepy, and he was in a daze. He could faintly hear various noises in the room, It was getting bigger and bigger, but Qin He's sleepiness was getting heavier and heavier, and his thinking gradually became numb until he couldn't hear any sound anymore.

There was no dream that night, and Qin He slept very soundly. The next day, he was awakened by several screams.

Qin He opened his eyes in a daze, and heard a little girl screaming outside the house. The voice sounded familiar. Qin He got up quickly, but just as he got out of bed, Qin He almost fell.

He stepped on a dead mouse just now, and the weak mouse was almost excreted by himself, and its internal organs were squeezed out.

Qin He jumped away in fright, and this jump almost made Qin He scream.

In this small house, under the bed, around the corners, and even around the door, there were densely packed dead rats of all sizes. Qin He didn't dare to count them carefully. There were at least dozens of rats in this room.

Qin He had never seen so many rats in his life, and he was so frightened that he stood on tiptoes and walked outside.

Opening the door, the scene at the door made Qin He dumbfounded. He saw two little girls, Shulan and Shuyuan, hugging each other in fright and sobbing loudly. At their feet, a half-dead mouse was struggling hard, and next to it there were A dozen dead rats had just crawled out of the door.

Qin He hurried forward and kicked the struggling mouse away from the little girl's feet.

Seeing Qin He coming out, the two little girls seemed to see the savior, and hurriedly hugged one leg each, crying loudly while telling their tragic experience.

"Wuuu, sister...brother-in-law, there are many mice in your house...uuuu...they still want to bite me..."

Haha, Qin He picked up a little sister-in-law in one hand, saw the room full of mice, and felt overwhelmed with a sense of accomplishment. Unexpectedly, the synthesis technique is so awesome. This rat poison is even more effective than magic oil. With this thing, his home will be considered peaceful in the future , It is no longer a lawless place for mice.

The two little girls were obviously terrified, their tears never stopped, their faces were blurred from crying.

It's not that rural children have never seen mice, but the densely packed mice on the ground, not to mention children, even Qin He was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

What's more, there was a struggling mouse just now. This situation is indeed scary. Qin He was about to take out some candy from his bracelet to coax his sister-in-law, when he heard a sound of ding dong, ding dong at the entrance of the village not far away. It sounded like a rattle.

You can vaguely see someone carrying something, shouting candies, toys, sewing boxes and so on, quite rhythmically.

Qin He was still in a daze, the two sisters-in-law in his arms stopped crying when they heard the ding-dong sound, and the two began to shake Qin He's head.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, buy me sugar, buy me sugar!"

What the hell?
Qin He quickly recalled Jiang Baili's memory, and instantly remembered what the ding-dong sound was.

It turned out that the kind of shopkeeper who sells all kinds of groceries came from the streets and alleys. This kind of grocery seller who carries the burden and walks the streets and alleys has emerged in the past two years. Who would have dared to do this a few years ago.

In Qin He's memory, he seems to have encountered this kind of grocery seller when he was a child. In other words, from the end of the 70s to the beginning of the 21st century, this industry gradually faded away.

There are a lot of this industry in the south. In this remote area, I come here once a month or two, carrying special baskets with toys and sweets that children like to eat on top, and needles and threads that women love to use on the bottom. Threads, hair clips, combs, etc.

Most of the things these shopkeepers sell are daily necessities that are closely related to life. In addition to selling, they also collect, including dried chicken kidneys, chicken feathers, eggs, toothpaste skins, rubber boots, scrap copper and rotten iron, etc. A series that can be sold for money stuff.

In addition, some shopkeepers also worked as barbers, tinkers, sharpened scissors and kitchen knives, etc., and each of them traveled far and wide and was well-informed. They were the first batch of businessmen in the early days of reform and opening up.

A considerable number of this group of people made a fortune in later generations, relying on the first pot of gold to get rich quickly. However, there are also many who have been salesmen for decades and are too timid to do other businesses. Later, as we get older, it becomes the memory of a generation.

In the real world, there is a salesman in Qinhe's rural area. He has grown up from a young age to seventy or eighty years old. Qinhe remembers seeing him in 05, with a stooped body and carrying the same load as he did decades ago, and he still walked through the streets to sell goods. candy.

It's a pity that the children at that time were not surprised to see the dirty old man. Instead, they watched the old man pass by with disgust. Later, the salesman was too old to walk, and it became a memory.

A salesman with the characteristics of the times, Qin He woke up from his memory, picked up his two sisters-in-law and walked towards the village entrance, and he also went to see Qiqi.

The peddler's small drum made a tinkling sound, shaking out all the women who were warming up at home. Of course, the children couldn't hold back their excitement when they heard the sound, and some of them ran towards the peddler with a few cents. .

Sugar balls, toy whistles, pencil stationery, small mirrors, and combs are all things children love to buy.

When Qin He arrived at the entrance of the village, the seller was already surrounded by a group of children.

Qin He put down the two little girls, but unfortunately Qin He really has no money, and Jiang Baili is really a poor ghost.

The two little girls couldn't wait to squeeze into the crowd, and began to watch the candy balls and toys bought by other children, with envy and longing in their eyes.

Some children had no money but were greedy, so they secretly picked up some things from home to trade. Occasionally, a child would find a warm egg, which was obviously just taken out of the chicken coop.

One egg is exchanged for three candies. Those who use home eggs to exchange are usually worth more than three candies. These days, eggs are precious things. Eggs can only be eaten during festivals or when you are sick. You have to save them and get them at ordinary times. Town or supply and marketing cooperatives to sell.

But this purely depends on the conscience of the peddler. Obviously, the peddler in his early thirties in front of him is not the kind of very honest businessman. If the family knows about the exchange of eggs for sugar by children, it will be a meal.

However, Qin He didn't have much opinion. In his opinion, how much is this worth?

But it was a bit embarrassing to see his sister-in-law looking at him helplessly while he couldn't get a penny out.

Suddenly, he thought of a way, and he didn't know if it would work, so he yelled at the salesman.

"Boss! Do you sell rat poison here?"

Qin He's "boss" voice was indeed novel, and it immediately attracted the salesman. After all, everyone called him "master" or directly "seller". Qin He's "boss" voice was very relevant in this era.

In this day and age, the word "boss" is quite novel and has not yet become widespread.

The salesman came back to his senses, seeing that it was a young man calling him, he quickly replied with a smile.

"We have rat poison and cockroach poison. How many packs do you want to buy?"

"Really?"

Qin He didn't expect this little grocer to have all kinds of messy things, but he thought of his house still full of rats, so he had an idea.

"Then the effect of your rat poison will work! Now the rats are getting more and more refined, and the general rat poison is not eaten!"

"Look at what you said, I've been walking around the streets for several years, who doesn't know me Zhang Quande in Zhangjiawan! Young man, you can rest assured that the rat poison won't work, and I will refund your money next time!"

Zhangjiawan is a village more than ten miles away. Although you are not familiar with it, everyone has heard that in this era, the connection between rural people and acquaintances is very interesting, and it is much closer than later generations. Which village, when everyone said it, they nodded repeatedly.

"Master Zhang, I have a deal with you, what do you know?"

"Business? Are you going to sell something?"

Zhang Quande looked at the young man in front of him with a faint smile and chatted with him in an unhurried tone. He always felt that this young man was a little different from other rural youths.

"Well, Master Zhang, if you have time, come with me to my house, I'll show you something, we can talk about cooperation, what do you think?"

Zhang Quande was a little puzzled, and Qin He was a bit unfamiliar. In the past, Qin He rarely bought things from the shopkeeper.

Zhang Quande looked at a woman next to him with questions. The woman didn't understand the situation, but she still explained with a smile.

"Master Zhang, this is the uncle of Secretary Li's family. He will get married in a few days. I think he needs to buy some needlework. You can go and have a look. Maybe it's a big deal!"

Hearing Mr. Secretary Li, Zhang Quande thought for a while, and suddenly remembered who was here, his eyes lit up, and the enthusiasm on his face suddenly increased.

"So it's the uncle of Secretary Li's family! Congratulations! I wonder what my uncle wants to buy?"

Qin He shook his head helplessly, obviously Zhang Quande would also have the wrong idea, but there are too many people here, and it is not a good place to talk, Qin He beckoned him to follow him.

Shulan and Shuyuan thought that Qin He was taking the peddler home to get money, so they clapped their hands happily and followed behind. A lot of other little kids in the village also followed behind the peddler.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Zhang Quande, who was full of flattery and smiling, suddenly saw a dozen mice at the door of Qin He's house. He was so frightened that he quickly put down the shelves and dared not go forward.

Qin He laughed loudly when he saw this, turned around and said to Zhang Quande.

"Master Zhang, I really want to do business with you and talk about cooperation, so I just asked you about rat poison. You should understand, right? I want to talk to you about the sale of rat poison."

"I made this rat poison myself. I just made it last night, so I tried it. See how it works. It's better than the rat poison you sold!"

Zhang Quande was stunned after hearing Qin He's words. He has been selling rat poison for several years, and the effect is average, but it is not completely ineffective. The mice are all lying at the door, which is indeed a bit scary.

He even wondered if the young man found a dozen mice on purpose, but he was soon stunned even more frightened.

Qin He opened the door and pushed open the two wooden doors. The light shone in at once. The small room was painted with a layer of white plaster and it was very bright. But when his eyes glanced at the ground, he was immediately frightened and got goosebumps all over his body. .
