Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Yang Ruoqing and Bao Suyun left Jiang Guiling's house together and went to the kitchen in the front yard.

On the way, Bao Suyun and Yang Ruoqing asked where they could buy chickens, ducks and geese in the nearby Shiliba Village, and planned to buy some for Jiang Guiling to use during her confinement period.

"Gui Ling's delivery date is more than ten days earlier than the doctor and Wen Po expected, and the chicken and duck are not ready yet."

"Because your fifth uncle said before that he had to come back before giving birth. It happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he gave birth to the baby in advance. As a result, there are only three chickens at home, one was sent by your aunt, and one was sent by your aunt. It’s just a gift from your eldest aunt and second sister-in-law.”

Three chickens can only last three days. What will happen after three days?

What can I use to nourish my daughter-in-law?

Although the Sun family next door is a butcher's family, the Sun family can only buy pork and ribs when they kill pigs.

The Sun family does not kill pigs every day, but usually only once every seven or eight days. There are about three pigs a month, and it is good to be able to sell the pork from three pigs.

So Bao Suyun thought about it and couldn't expect Yang Huazhou to bring chickens and ducks back from Qing'an County. He had to buy them in the village or the next village and put them on the ground first.

As for the chickens and ducks that Yang Huazhou brought back later, they were not wasted.

My daughter-in-law has to take care of her baby after confinement, so those nourishing poultry are needed.

Yang Ruoqing stopped and asked Bao Suyun: "Fifth Aunt, how many chickens and ducks do you think you need to buy?"

Bao Suyun said without hesitation: "Thirty chickens, fifteen ducks, and if there are pigeons, it's best to get ten more pairs."

"Ah? The demand is a bit large. I guess no single family in the village can afford so much to sell it to you. Even if we piece it all together, the price will probably go up for you." Yang Ruoqing analyzed truthfully.

Nowadays, the price of a chicken in Wa City fluctuates around 45 cents.

But if you go door-to-door in the village to buy a five-bedroom house at this time, the price will probably rise to seventy or eighty cents a piece.

A chicken costs more than 30 yuan, and if you take 30 chickens and 15 ducks together, the extra money is enough to give Jiang Guiling another month.

Even if the financial conditions of the five-bedroom apartment are not bad, no matter how good they are, there is no need to eat high-priced chicken and duck. That is paying IQ tax, so it is not necessary.

Sure enough, after hearing Yang Ruoqing's analysis, Bao Suyun also showed a bit of embarrassment.

"What should I do? Go to Wa Market to buy it?"

"Fifth Aunt, why are you confused? If you want to buy chickens and ducks, let me recommend someone for you!"

"Who?"

"My cousin Zhou Wang from Zhoujiacun, fifth aunt, have you forgotten what he does?"

Bao Suyun thought about it and suddenly felt pleasantly surprised.

"Oh Qing'er, look at Fifth Aunt, she's really confused. Why did I forget about Zhou Wang?"

"Yes, he runs a chicken farm, and all the chickens and ducks he raises are supplied to your restaurant. It should be no problem to find him to keep dozens of chickens and ducks, right?"

"That's for sure. Besides, fifth aunt, if you go to other houses and ask, there must be no pigeons in other houses."

"But in cousin Zhou Wang's chicken farm, there are a lot of pigeons, including squabs and old pigeons."

"Two years ago when I was born in Tuan Yuan Yuan, I ate their pigeons to regain my strength!"

Bao Suyun was very happy.

Immediately, he asked Yang Ruoqing about the way to Zhoujia Village, and then told Dabao to go to Zhoujia Village to buy chickens and ducks early tomorrow morning.

At night, Bao Suyun told Dabao like this: "The chickens and ducks of the Zhou family are exclusively for the restaurant, and he is the nephew of the blacksmith brother, so we can be regarded as relatives in a corner."

"When we buy his chickens, ducks and geese, we feel more at ease than buying from outside. Even if the price is a little more expensive, it doesn't matter. At least Gui Ling and her children can eat it, so we can rest assured."

If I buy it in Wa City, I am always afraid that I will buy some sick chickens and ducks. I can't tell it at the time, I just think it's annoying. However, if it is eaten in the stomach, it is bad for the body, but it is difficult to notice. Dabao took Bao Suyun's advice to heart.

Jiang Guiling heard the arrangements made by her mother-in-law and her husband from the side, and added: "Since we are relatives on the other side, when Dabao comes over tomorrow morning, don't go empty-handed."

"The Zhou family has two sons. You bring some snacks and other things for the two children. After all, it is the first time to go back to someone else's house."

Dabao nodded: "Just take care of your health and don't worry about these things."

Bao Suyun glanced at Jiang Guiling appreciatively: "Guiling is thoughtful. You really can't go to someone else's house empty-handed."

……

That night, Yang Ruoqing told the dinner table that Dabao was going to the chicken farm in Zhoujia Village to buy chickens and ducks tomorrow morning.

Blacksmith Luo immediately thought: "I'm afraid that Dabao won't be able to find a place and will be wasted. I'll go with him early tomorrow morning!"

Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian exchanged tacit glances.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "It's good to have uncle accompany you, so Dabao won't have to ask others for directions."

Wang Cuilian said: "It just so happens that I have made some smoked bamboo shoots these days. If you go there tomorrow, you can bring two packs for your sister and the others."

Blacksmith Luo nodded happily.

Yang Ruoqing added: "I have pickled some sesame sauce eggs this time at home, and my uncle also brought some to my aunt and cousin to try."

Sesame sauce eggs is a craft Yang Ruoqing learned from a foreign chef in the restaurant.

The pickled egg yolk is soft, glutinous and oily. It tastes like crab roe, soft and soft. It goes well with rice or porridge.

Blacksmith Luo smiled and nodded again: "Okay, then bring some for them to try."

In this way, early the next morning, Blacksmith Luo accompanied Dabao and drove the carriage to Zhoujia Village.

They came back after lunch.

It can be said that I returned home with a full load.

There is also a wooden cart tied to the back of the carriage. On the wooden cart, there are several large baskets of live chickens, all of them are hens, and all of them are old hens.

In addition, there are two large baskets of shelducks.

Two baskets of pigeons.

In addition, there are four or five baskets with straw padded at the bottom and filled with red eggs, black eggs, duck eggs...

After Blacksmith Luo got off the car at the gate of the yard, carrying a basket of black eggs in his hand, a big white goose entered the yard.

With a smile on his face, Blacksmith Luo put the eggs on the table as soon as he entered the room, and stuffed the big white goose into Wang Cuilian's hand.

"Hey, these are all given by the girl. The black eggs are said to be an excellent tonic for Tuan Yuanyuan to eat as she grows taller."

"The big white goose turns around, doesn't Qing'er like to eat the big goose stewed in an iron pot? Give it a try!"

Wang Cuilian looked at the squawking goose and the grass-green eggs on the ground, and narrowed her eyes with a smile.

"You came with me and made a profit. So many things are worth a lot of money!"

Blacksmith Luo laughed, waved his hands and said, "Brothers and sisters, as long as we don't talk about whether we make a profit or not, it's okay for relatives to come and go and be happy with each other."
