This move of the Su family has undoubtedly created a new trend in the village. On a rainy day, it is idle anyway. The Su family is the one where the women in the village gather to discuss the most.
Huang Yi usually helps at home, and occasionally takes his little brother out to play when he has free time. Other times, he cannot be idle, including on rainy days. Today for the first time, I went out without my little brother. I took my sewing basket and went to play with my good friend Liu Juan's house.
Liu Juan is at home now, and the two girls are making needlework together. Not far away from them, Liu Juan is sitting with several women in the village. The Su family is being discussed at this time.
"The Su family is so precious and those chickens and ducks are very profitable, aren't they?"
Qian answered immediately after hearing this.
"Of course, otherwise who would build a house specifically for those little beasts to live in? No one has that kind of treatment."
"The money they make has nothing to do with us." Mrs. Liu Juan couldn't help but sigh.
"That's not necessarily the case. I met Sister Su when she came to the village to play two days ago. Several aunts also knew about my family's situation. I wanted to raise ducks but had no money to buy ducklings. I begged Sister Su to give me a batch on credit. Ducklings, when the ducks grow up, I will return the money to her. Sister Su's sister promised me that when the next batch of ducklings arrives, she will first let me go to her house to get them. When the ducks are raised, her family will pay eight cents. Harvest one pound, and then the ducks will be raised and sold directly to the Su family, saving worry and effort."
When the women heard this, they all looked at Huang Yi. Huang Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
"Huang Yatou, did the Su family girl really say that?"
"Really, she got back to me the next day after I contacted her, saying that she doesn't have ducklings in her house these days, and will let me pick them out when they do next time. I ordered a hundred of them from her house. .”
"so many!"
Qian exclaimed.
"I still think it's too little. All the aunts also know the situation of my family. My mother has to be busy with the work in the fields. I am the only one who can do the work in the family. If there are too many, I am afraid that I will not be able to handle it. The sister of the Su family also promised me that she will wait until the duck When the seedlings come to my house, she will come and teach me how to raise them.”
Several women thought, is there such a good thing?
"I suddenly remembered that I had something to do at home, so I went back first."
One person stood up, and the others couldn't sit still anymore. They all hurriedly found excuses to go home. Liu Juanniang was anxious at home. The head of the house had gone out and she didn't know when she would come back. If the head of the house came back late, the day lilies would probably be cold.
After chatting with Liu Juan for a while, Huang Yi left on the pretext of having something to do at home.
This was what Su Yu told Huang Yi before. She planned to ask the villagers to raise ducks for her family, but she would not go to the chase and ask Huang Yi to release the news in the village. Those who want to raise will naturally come, but those who want to raise but are afraid of taking risks will be embarrassed.
Due to the inconvenience of transportation in ancient times, Su Yu didn't think that shopkeeper Niu would get her many duck eggs this time. A few thousand would be good. The first batch of people thought of allocating a few thousand to the village so that they could raise one at home. One thousand and eight hundred ducks is enough. As for the future, Su Yu has nothing to worry about. When the first batch of duck farmers make money, there will be no need to worry about no one raising her ducks.
The news was only known to these five families at first. In order to wait for Liu Juan's father to come, women from the other four families made an appointment to come to Su's house. Several people came to the door empty-handed and took a handful of food from the house. , it’s just a few melons in the field, I didn’t interact with them before, now it’s my first time to visit, it’s hard to be empty-handed.
"Su Sheng, mother, are you at home?"
Ms. Lian was busy working in the backyard and was stunned for a moment when she was called this name. Then she realized that it was her who was calling.
"Hey, there you are."
When Mrs. Lian walked to the front yard, she saw four women from the village standing at the door of the yard, all with smiles on their faces. They looked at her and felt cautious.
"It's been a long time since your family moved to the village, but we haven't even visited your house yet. This is a vegetable grown by my own family, so don't dislike it."
Wu said and handed over a handful of green vegetables.
After hearing what Wu said, the other women simply handed their own things to Lian.
"Mother Su Sheng, these are the sweet potatoes grown at home. I cooked sweet potatoes for my children."
"These are the peanuts grown by my family. Try them. The peanuts grown by my family are among the best in the village."
Mrs. Lian hugged her without warning, and they entered Su's house familiar with each other.
Mrs. Lian put the things away and went to greet a few people. The things were grown in her own home and were not valuables. If you don't take them as gifts, in the eyes of others, you just look down on them. Mrs. Lian is not that stupid. Just what is the purpose of these people's visit? Her family has been in Yujia Village for almost half a year, and they don't have many good friends with her. Most of the women in the village are just face-saving.
"You are at home alone. Your head is not here. Why is Su Yatou missing?"
The speaker was Mrs. Wu, Yu Lao’s third daughter-in-law.
"The boss went to see the crops, but the fish are busy in the backyard."
Several people thought that it was really strange for the daughter of the Su family to work in the backyard. It had been half a year since the Su family moved to the village, and they had seen Su Yu when he went to play in the village. Those hands didn't look like working hands at all. , not much different from the wealthy lady in that city.
But it's one thing to think so in my heart, but it's another thing to say it with my mouth.
"You are so lucky. Your son is obedient and your daughter is diligent."
Mrs. Lian liked hearing these words and automatically ignored her son's obedience. She only remembered that her daughter behind her was diligent. It was true that her daughter was diligent. No other daughter could compare with her.
Qian was glanced at by the three people. She understood what they meant and had to start talking.
"Mother Su Sheng, how many ducks do you raise at home? Restaurants in town come to your house every day to buy ducks. It's been months now, and your ducks haven't been sold out yet."
"I don't raise many, just a few hundred."
Hearing this, there were only a few hundred, and the four of them felt sad.
Qian's expression did not change.
"When will the head of your family come back with ducklings? Our family also wants to raise ducklings. I just want to ask. I heard that the girl from the Huang family ordered ducklings at your house. Is this true?"
Mrs. Lian now figured out the intentions of several people. The whole family had discussed this matter before.
"The head of my family will bring in a batch of ducklings in the next month or so. This time the quantity will be larger. I don't know the specific number. Anyway, my family can't raise them. Huang Yatou wants to raise them. When my daughter comes back, she agrees to it. Yes, you all know the situation of the Huang family, we are all from the same village, so we can do whatever we can to help."
"That's right, how else would people in the village say your family is kind-hearted."
Mrs. Lian will listen to this.
"Her family has ordered a hundred ducklings. They will be raised in about four months. They will be sold back to my family at a price of eight cents per catty. If there are any casualties among them, the money for the ducklings will still be given to my family."
"Of course, it's a matter of course. If you want to make money, how can you not take any risks?"
Mr. Qian actually said something fair.
"Look, we are all from the same village, and it's not easy for any family. Yamiao, your family can give credit to the Huang family, can you also give credit to several of us?"
"this……."
Mrs. Lian hesitated for a moment, and everyone's hearts were lifted.
"It's not impossible, but as you all know, my ducks are ordered from big restaurants, and their requirements are very high. There are requirements for how many months the ducks are out, and the price our family sells them to restaurants is ten cents per catty. You can get ducklings from my house, and after the ducks are raised, you can pay for the ducklings, but we have agreed in advance that the price our family will recycle is eight cents per catty."
The words were also told by Su Yu. She always made money in a wise way, and she clearly told the people in the village that it was up to them to do it or not, so that they would not have to worry about the difference in price after knowing that her family made two cents from it.
