The two families started to get started, and more and more people came to the Su family to order ducklings. Your family has two hundred, and my family has three hundred. Soon, the Su family ordered five thousand ducklings, and they were not allowed to order ducks in Duosuyu. Although there were more than 7,000 duck eggs, she had no idea how many would be hatched in the end.
Later, those who came to the door heard that the ducklings were gone and that if they wanted to raise them, they could only wait until next time. They started quarreling when they got home. There were many such families in the village, and they couldn't help it. The Su family couldn't produce so many ducks. The ducklings are coming.
More than ten days later, today is the day when the ducklings hatch. The Su family got busy early in the morning. They took the baskets prepared in advance and put the duck eggs on the grid into the baskets one by one. The baskets were not high. , just enough to put on the shelf. When it was finished, the clothes of the family of three were all wet with sweat, and the temperature in the room was too high.
The next step is to wait quietly for the ducklings to come out of their shells. The three members of the family have experience in this aspect. Each person has a fan in his hand and no one is talking. He has to save some energy as he will be busy later.
An hour later, some ducklings began to burst their shells, and the three of the Su family immediately became busy. Su Yu was a little glad that it was noon. The weather was good today. Each cage contained a hundred ducks, enough for a basket. Su Laoer took it to the leeward place to bask in the sun, and then brought the empty cage in. There were too many cages prepared earlier, otherwise It’s really not enough.
The three of them worked until night, cleaning the house, and quickly moving the ducklings into the house. After all this, the family of three were so tired that they sat on the floor and didn't want to move. When Su Sheng came back to see him, he went to the kitchen to cook dinner for the family. After the three of them had eaten, they felt alive again.
It was easy after that. The temperature of the room didn't need to be too high, but more than 6,000 ducks were chirping in the room, which gave Su Yu a headache.
"Daughter, you go to bed quickly, I'll just watch the rest."
"Dad, you and mother should go get some sleep. Just get up and watch twice at night. Don't stay up."
Su Yu was really exhausted, so he didn't take any work for himself. He didn't even take a shower when he got home, so he threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.
I slept until the next morning. When I woke up, I found that it was already bright. I immediately got up and went to see the ducklings. There were too many ducklings. After one night, more than 20 ducklings died because they were too weak. To Su Yu Already very satisfied.
The dead duckling was taken to the mountain to dig a hole and buried it. There was no other way. Erhu was too small and couldn't even deal with the unshelled eggs.
The current ducklings are still too young for the villagers to take back. After taking care of them at home for more than ten days, the villagers were notified to come to collect the ducklings.
Before that, Su Laoer went to the village chief's house and invited him over. This was agreed with the village chief early in the morning, and the village chief was willing to help.
The contract was written by Su Yu in his spare time. The contents are exactly the same. All the company needs to do is write down the quantity and name. If you can't write, you can just put your thumbprint.
However, there are very few men in Yujia Village who can’t write their own names, thanks to the clan culture in the village. Regardless of whether you have money or not, you have to have face in every family in the village. Not to mention, the boys in our family have at least one or two years of clan experience. I still studied it.
As the head of a village, of course he is literate, so he couldn't help but nod after reading the contract.
"This is probably written by Brother Sheng. The handwriting is pretty good."
"Uncle Village Chief, you misunderstood. This was written by my daughter."
Su Laoer looked as stupid as my daughter, no one else could.
"You said it was written by your daughter?"
The village chief was surprised.
"My daughter is very smart. Let her brother teach her how to do it. She can do everything her brother can do."
The village chief has always felt that Su Laoer was a sincere person. Now that he said this, he felt that Su Laoer was still a little confused when it came to his daughter. He didn't believe what Su Laoer said. it is true. The village chief heard Yu Xiucai say that although Su Sheng learned late, he was better because of his hard work. If he continued at this pace for two years, he might be able to pass the exam as a boy. This surprised the village chief. The daughter of the Su family had another chance. How could she be more powerful than her brother?
Su Laoer didn't notice anything wrong with the village chief's eyes. After praising his daughter, he went to work. There were more people coming today, so he had to greet her well.
Not long after, all the villagers who had ordered duck seedlings from Su's house came. There were more than thirty households. They were all standing in the yard, chatting in groups.
"Quiet, everyone, listen to me."
As soon as the village chief opened his mouth, the villagers stopped talking. In the village, the village chief's power is almost the same as that of the county magistrate. In some villages, the county magistrate's words are even inferior to those of the village chief.
There are so many villagers, and there aren't that many stools for the villagers who came today to sit on, so they all just stood.
"I was entrusted by my second brother to be a witness. The contract is clearly written in black and white. I will read it to everyone."
"The contract stipulates that the Su family's ducklings will be given to the villagers on credit for eight cents a catty. After raising the ducks for four months, they will be sold to the Su family for eight cents a catty, and then the ducklings will be given to the Su family. Money. If anyone among them regrets, he will pay ten times the price as compensation. Do you all know this?"
"Village chief, everyone knows."
The standing villagers said loudly that the Su family had told them early in the book that it would be beneficial to both of them, and no one objected.
"Nazhong, now you come up one by one and write your names, and I will call the names."
"Girl from the Huang family."
Huang Yi's family name is Huang, the only one in the village. When the village chief called her, Huang Yi hurried forward.
"Grandpa, the village chief."
"No problem, just put your fingerprints on it and confirm the hundred ducklings, right?"
"That's right, Grandpa Village Chief."
The village chief looked at a small book next to him. In the book, it was written which company ordered how many ducklings from Su's house. The village chief added a hundred ducklings to the contract. Huang Yi pressed his fingerprint and put it aside. After a while, he He will take it back for safekeeping. If anyone wants to go back on his word, he must ask the village chief if he agrees.
Fifty ducklings fit into a cage, and a hundred ducklings are not too heavy. Huang Yi picked one out and went home. When she left, she remembered what Su Yu told her, don't let the ducklings out when they first got home. Give them some vegetable leaves, and wait until the ducklings have no problems tomorrow before releasing the ducklings out.
The Su family worked hard for almost a day before sending the villagers away. Five thousand ducklings were distributed, and there were still more than a thousand ducks left in the Su family.
"Uncle Village Chief, other people have taken them away. I have more than a thousand left here. If you want to raise them, take them away from me first. I only counted five thousand before, but I never thought there would be so many more. My family can’t support enough, but if your family wants to support it, I won’t have to go to the village to ask other people’s homes.”
"Of those, my family will raise five hundred."
"Come, my daughter, write a contract to your village chief grandfather."
Su Laoer was an honest man. After asking the village chief to confirm that the village chief's family wanted to support him, he asked his daughter to write the contract and didn't think there was any problem. The other villagers have all written. It would be bad if the village chief and his family don't write. Others don't think much about it at all.
Su Yu didn't point it out, and the village chief didn't care about it. On the contrary, the village chief was happy. The village chief's reaction was pretty much what she thought.
The village chief saw Su Yu writing the contract with his own eyes. It was exactly the same as the handwriting on his own hand before, and he believed Su Laoer's words.
"Did you really write this contract?"
"Of course I wrote it. My brother is very busy every day and has no time to write."
"Your brother taught you this?"
"That's right, Grandpa Village Chief, my brother taught me."
The village chief had a look of regret on his face, what a pity, it was a girl.
