"Really, how many do you have at home now?"
"I estimate there are about a hundred or so of them."
"Yeah, where can your family buy so many chicks?"
"I'm not sure about this. It's my boss who pulls the goods every time."
"Then I want five. I'll go to your house later and take a look. I'll pick them up at your house if they suit me."
"Leave ten of them for me. I'll go to your house to see them later."
"And me, I want four."
Mrs. Lian didn't expect the business to be so good. It was different from what she thought.
Most people who want to buy chicks in the village go to people who raise hens and ask them to help raise a nest. There are also those who are lucky enough to take out the chicks and buy them from others. There are really not many families like the Su family who can get hundreds of chicks at once.
The women hurriedly washed their clothes and went to Su's house. Those who didn't want to buy wanted to join in the fun.
Among those who left early, Mrs. Lian had not returned from doing laundry, but Su Yu was at home. She was not frightened when people came to buy chickens, and took them to the chicken pen in the backyard.
"Auntie, let's see which ones you like."
"Girl from the Su family, where did your family get so many chickens?"
"Auntie, I really don't know this."
Seeing that he couldn't find anything, Qian didn't ask anymore. I guess Su Yu really didn't know.
"I want eight. You get me one male and seven females. The one over there, and the one over here, yes, that one."
The family plans to sell chickens. Last night, the chickens were not put into the chicken coop. They were all caught and locked up in cages. There were twenty-five in one cage, and it was not crowded.
The eight chickens that Mr. Qian wanted were put in a smaller cage. The cage was made simply, considering that it would be difficult for people who came to buy the chickens to get them. This morning, Su Laoer got up in the dark and made several small cages. Now at home There were more than a dozen inside. After finishing the work, the father and son went back to the mountains to chop wood.
"Auntie, you take the cage back, you don't have to send it back."
Qian originally went to the river to do laundry, but after hearing Lian's words, she didn't even wash her clothes at all. After sending them home, she went to Su's house to buy chicks. She originally planned to wait for Lian, but she didn't expect that the Su family's girl could do it by herself. She was not polite when she made the decision. She picked eight extra-large ones. She earned eight cents each, but she didn't expect to get a cage for free.
"Then why are you so embarrassed? Why don't you go to my house and my aunt will bring you something delicious?"
"Thank you, aunt."
After sending Mrs. Qian away, Mrs. Lian came back with a basin.
"Yu'er, who was that just now?"
When Mrs. Lian came home, Mrs. Qian had already walked some distance away. Because of the distance, she couldn't see who it was.
"Mom, this is Aunt Qian. She came to our house and bought eight chicks. The money has been paid."
"Qian's movements are really fast."
I helped my mother dry the clothes on the clothes drying pole. As soon as they were dried, the woman who had just been doing the laundry came over.
"Girls from the Lian family, we are here. Where are your chickens? Take us to see them quickly."
There were three women who came, but Su Yu didn't recognize any of them.
"Just put it in the backyard and keep it closed. Take whichever you like."
The three women followed them to the backyard and were stunned when they saw so many chickens in cages. They didn't expect that what Lian said was true. There really were so many chickens in her house. The three of them were all spoiled for choice. They thought either this one was good or that one was good, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.
When they heard voices outside, the three of them looked at each other and quickly picked out the chickens they wanted. Later, more people will come over, and maybe someone else will pick the big one, and then they will have to pick the smaller one.
The three of them didn't buy much, and each of them bought five. Hearing that the three houses were in the same direction, Su Yu discussed with them and put fifteen in a cage.
"Aunts, we really don't have many cages at home. See if you can put them together."
"Okay, I know your family is waiting for a cage."
"Thank you, aunt."
Su Yu was busy greeting the three of them, but Lian heard the movement at the entrance of the courtyard and had already greeted them. When the three of them went out, Mrs. Lian brought over several women, all of whom had arranged to come together to buy chickens. Seeing that someone had arrived earlier than them, they were all very upset. If they had known better, they would not have sent the clothes back. They followed Lian directly to Su's house and took a look at the chickens in the cage. They were all very energetic and had no idea what was left. How was it?
When everyone arrived in the backyard, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The Su family's chickens were still in good spirits, and their heads were not as big as those of the previous ones.
"Sister Lian, these chickens of yours are not as big as the ones you sold just now. Can you have a little less?"
Mrs. Liu was used to taking advantage, so she thought of this method in a flash.
Before Mrs. Lian could speak, Su Yu, who was standing by the side, stopped.
"Aunt, our chickens are all about the same size. How about I stop the three aunts in front of me and catch one to follow Bibi. They are definitely the same. There are only a few small ones. You can tell at a glance that you don't like it. If you don't choose, that's fine. The price really can't be lower. The aunts know how much a chicken is sold in the town now, and our family can only make some hard-earned money, but there is really no profit."
"Look at the Su family girl's little mouth. I only said one thing, and this little mouth answered me so much."
"My daughter has been spoiled by me and her father. The price is really too much. Eight cents each. It's really just hard-earned money."
The chickens in the town were nine cents each, and they were not as big as the ones from the Su family. People in these villages also knew this. When Mrs. Lian said this, Mrs. Liu was speechless and picked them up carefully one by one.
In the village, chickens are raised by any family, but there are still certain risks when hens nest. Sometimes the eggs will not come out, and the chicks will die within a few days of birth. Unless someone else’s family has many chicks, which family If I really want to raise a few more chickens, I can only let the hens at home hatch them, but now that they are readily available at a reasonable price, I don’t want to go through all the trouble on my own. It’s not as easy as buying ready-made ones after waiting for months.
After picking up more than ten chickens, the mother and daughter were very happy.
"Mom thought I couldn't sell it, but I didn't expect the business to be so good."
"Right now, people from the village are just buying them after receiving the news. When people from other villages come over in the afternoon, our family won't have to worry about selling these dozens of chickens."
"Fish are still smart."
At noon, it turned out to be what Su Yu had expected. Most of the people who came in the morning were villagers from Yujia Village, and those who came at noon were from other villages. Originally, there were not many chickens left in Yujia Village after buying chickens. In less than a day, It was sold out. Those who came late regretted hearing that the chickens were sold out. When Su Yu said that their family would receive a batch in a few months, the villagers made a decision to wait for the chickens to arrive. Come and get it.
