Because duck eggs are fragile, 10,000 duck eggs were sent to the Su family, and three carriages were sent to Taihe Building.
The weather was nice today, so Su Yu had people unload the duck eggs in the yard. As soon as they left, the Su family closed the door and hurriedly opened the door. Su Yu placed two baskets in front of him to pick out the duck eggs in front of him. The left basket put the unusable ones and the usable ones on the right. After filling one basket, Lian and Su Lao Er took the eggs to the newly built house. Put the eggs one by one on the shelf.
It took Su Yu half a day just to pick out the duck eggs. Thanks to her good eyesight and quick movements, it would have been impossible for anyone else to pick them out in a whole day.
At last count, there were 2,560 unusable duck eggs, which meant that there were 7,440 eggs in the house. Su Yu was quite satisfied. After twenty days, there were almost 6,000 eggs. The duck emerges from its shell.
After everything was ready, Su Laoer started to light the fire. Soon after the fire wall started, Su Yu felt that it was almost done, so he took the thermometer he made into the house and placed one on each side.
"Dad, Mom, this is a thing I made specifically to measure temperature. The temperature of hatching eggs is relatively high. Look at the red line rising from the middle tube. I have marked a mark on the tube. If it reaches the middle of the mark I marked, it means that the temperature has reached If it is not enough, it means the temperature is low, and if it exceeds it, it means the temperature is high. When you light the fire, you must control the temperature well. It can't be too high or too low."
Su Yu talked for a long time, but the two of them didn't remember anything. They just remembered that it should be between the two lines, neither up nor down.
"Daughter, you went to town to buy this thing earlier, just for hatching eggs."
"Of course, otherwise why would I make them? It's so convenient now. The duck eggs are placed on the shelf and I don't have to turn them over every two hours. We just need to control the temperature. It's much easier than before."
The couple nodded sharply.
In the past, every time the eggs were hatched, the two of them felt sorry for their daughter. They stayed in the house for more than ten days and did not even dare to go for a walk in the village for fear that something would go wrong. Now that they can do this job, their daughter is not so tired. .
Today is the first day. Su Yu was afraid that something would go wrong, so he spent most of the day in the house, checking the eggs everywhere and the two thermometers from time to time. It was already hot in the room, but after a long time, my face turned red, and the sweat on my body was drying out, drying out, and getting wet. They felt sorry for their daughter, but they also knew that only the daughter could do this, and they couldn't help anyone else. I am busy, so I can only learn from my daughter, so as to reduce my daughter's workload in the future.
Su Yu tried to persuade them several times but refused to listen, so in the end he had no choice but to let them go.
It wasn't until dinner at home that Su Sheng realized that everyone in the family was busy in the room next to them. Now when he comes back every day, he is busy studying and waiting for his mother to prepare food. Now that he knows that his family is busy, he can't help but blush with embarrassment.
"Dad, Mom, I didn't know you were busy. Let me cook the dinner tomorrow."
"Brother, you learn from you. Only after you have learned it can you teach me. Today is the first day and I am a bit busy. Tomorrow we will take turns guarding the house, so we won't be as busy as today."
Su Sheng was heartbroken.
"Your sister is right. The most important thing for you now is to study. You are almost sixteen this year. In two years, you will get a wife. When you get a wife, you should go home and help the family. Now you have more Learn something useful and teach it to your sister, and you can wait until two years to do the work at home."
Su Sheng felt very calm and had no dissatisfaction. It was only natural for a man to start a family and start a career.
Su Yu found that Su Sheng's attitude had changed. Unlike before, he would just blame everything in his heart when something happened. Look, sending your eldest brother to school is such a wise decision.
It was previously discovered that Su Sheng's mentality is a bit extreme. If this continues, people will only become more and more biased, and it is not certain where he will end up. Sending people to study not only knowledge, but also the principles of life and doing things. Once people's horizons are broadened, they won't just focus on the things at hand. It seems to be very effective.
The family ate in a hurry, and Su Yu went to the house to keep watch. The couple wanted to follow them, but a guest came to the house.
"Uncle Yu, why are you here?"
Su Laoer is from outside, and he is called by the villagers depending on his age.
"Mom, go and make a bowl of tea for Uncle Yu."
"No, I drank at home, no need to bother."
"Don't be polite when you get home."
Mrs. Lian went to the kitchen and made two bowls of tea. Drinking tea in the village was not very particular, and people were not used to it if you had to use a cup to make tea.
"Why are you here so late at night?"
Yu Pozi is in his fifties this year. He is not tall and average-looking. He got sick when he was a child and the root of the disease took root. Since then, his walking has been sloping, so the villagers gave him the nickname Yu Pozi. No. 1, when she was over thirty, she married Chen, a widow who had fled from another place.
"Hey, I heard people in the village say that you can take duck seedlings from your home to raise them, and then your family will buy them back. Is that true?"
Su Laoer didn't expect that the first person to come to the door would be Yu Pozi.
"It's true. Uncle, you also know that my ducks are raised by Taihe House in the town. His family has a restaurant in other places. The amount of ducks he wants is relatively large. Anyway, my family can't raise them. Who in the village wants to raise them?" Just keep it."
"Then can Om lend some ducklings on credit to your family and give them money when they grow up?"
"Yes, but uncle, we have agreed in advance that a duckling costs eight cents per catty. After four months, the duck will be raised and the price will be eight cents per catty. My family will sell it to Taihe House for ten cents per catty. .”
"Om knows this, it's been spread in the village. You also know that Om's legs can't do heavy work, and others don't like Om for light work. In the past, Om raised some chickens at home and farmed the two acres of land at home. .”
Su Lao Er really knew that the conditions of Yu Pozi's family were not good. He also had two sons, who were in their twenties and had not yet married a wife.
"Uncle, how many do you plan to raise?"
Yu Pozi had already thought about how many he wanted to raise before he came.
"Om plans to raise five hundred."
That girl from the Huang family dared to raise a hundred ducklings. How could he be inferior to a girl and plan to raise five hundred ducklings? But he didn't know if the Su family dared to give him so many ducklings.
"Okay, I'll write down five hundred for you. When the ducklings arrive in a while, we'll go to the village chief's uncle to write a contract and leave it with the village chief's uncle. If I regret it, I can go to the village chief to make the decision. "
"Second brother, you are this one."
Yu Pozi gave a thumbs up.
"Om, there's nothing to say. It doesn't matter if the contract is written or not. Your character is trustworthy."
"One code equals one code. The contract still needs to be written. The ducklings will arrive in a few months. Then you can just come to my house to pick up the ducklings."
"It's not too early by then, so let's go back first and wait for the ducklings to arrive."
"Uncle, walk slowly."
The news that Yu Pozi ordered duck seedlings at Su's house spread in the village the next day. It was the two sons of Yu Pozi's family who said this in the village. The villagers couldn't help but believe it. All the villagers had been there before. Wait and see, now that someone is doing it, some people can’t sit still.
The second person who came to the door was Yang Ermei. She was taking care of Doudou at home, so she had nothing to do. She could also be busy raising some ducks.
