Chapter 67: Buying Sheep

It's fifteen again, and on the day of the market, Shen Yunfang took the big bolt daughter-in-law to the market again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This time she went for a purpose, she wanted to buy chicken seedlings, duck seedlings and goose seedlings.

Originally, there were a few families in the village that raised ducks and geese, and the sister-in-law of Jianjun she knew had it, so she asked her daughter-in-law to help ask if her family sold ducks and geese, and if she didn't sell eggs, she could hatch them herself.

As a result, people's ducks and geese are good times to lay eggs, and they are reluctant to sell them, and the eggs laid before are pickled, even if they are not fresh until now. At the beginning of spring this year, there were not two eggs yet, and they didn't have to be sold, mainly because she raised them at home.

Originally, the daughter-in-law of the big bolt said that she would help ask when she returned to her parents' house, but Shen Yunfang couldn't wait when she learned that there were chicken and duck seedlings sold in the Spring Festival Market. We have money, don't bother so much, just buy duck seedlings and goose seedlings.

That's why she picked up her daughter-in-law and went to the market with her.

After more than an hour of trekking, the two finally arrived at the commune, or walked along the crowd, this time Shen Yunfang had moderation, not that he couldn't walk when he saw things, and finally the two walked to the seedling market, just to see the fluffy yellow, orange and orange chicks and ducks chirping in the box.

Shen Yunfang is very good at picking this, and after looking around, he chose a place and squatted down, "How do you sell it?" ”

"One chicken seedling with two hairs, two with duck seedlings and one with five hairs, and three with goose seedlings with five hairs." Said the old man squatting opposite.

Shen Yunfang nodded, the prices in this market are all about the same.

Then she grabbed the chicken seedlings and began to pick them up, to see if the chicks and ducklings were male or female, they could be identified by turning the anus, Shen Yunfang saw clearly in the sun, she picked out thirty chicken seedlings, ten duck seedlings, and ten goose seedlings, all of which were two males, and the rest were females.

In fact, it's good to keep one male, but she thinks that she can't kill one to satisfy her hunger after raising it for a year, so she wants two males.

It cost a total of twelve dollars.

"Yun Fang, what are you buying so many geese for, this thing eats too much, it's not cost-effective." The daughter-in-law saw that she had picked ten geese, and quickly pulled her.

"Well, it's a little more to eat, but I bought so many chickens, and the bigger ones will definitely recruit weasels, and raising a few more geese can help me take care of the house." Shen Yunfang said.

The big goose is a very powerful creature, and when it encounters danger, it dares to charge, and it hurts to twist people with its big mouth.

The daughter-in-law of the big bolt didn't say anything when she heard her say this, it is true that if you raise too many chickens, it will be bad if you are worried about it by the weasel, and if you don't get it, you can give you no one left.

Walking to the stall selling piglets, there are the most people here, Shen Yunfang doesn't dare to buy piglets anymore because he doesn't have so much food at home, after all, raising pigs and raising chickens and ducks are different, and pigs can eat more than people.

Further on, there are five stalls selling lambs, one of which Shen Yunfang still knows, it is actually Accountant Liu and Shen Yougen from Gaijiatun, Shen Yunfang looked carefully at the two little lambs they were leading, familiar, isn't it the lamb that was born this year in her flock.

"Yo, Accountant Li, you and Uncle Yougen are here to sell lambs." The daughter-in-law of the big bolt also recognized that it was the person in her tunzi, and opened her mouth to say hello.

"Well, the daughter-in-law of the big bolt is also coming to the market." Accountant Li greeted with a smile.

"yes, what's the matter, does anyone buy it?" There are few sheep that they love to raise, and the production team raises sheep because the state requires each production team to hand over the task sheep, and it is forced to raise it as a last resort, many production teams raise sheep, and every year there are lambs born, and then the lambs cannot be sold, so they can only raise their own sheep, so the sheep in the team are raising more and more.

Accountant Li frowned and shook his head, he bought sheep every year, but basically couldn't sell them.

"Accountant Li, how can this lamb be sold?" Shen Yunfang said suddenly.

Accountant Li thought she was just inquiring, and didn't think she was going to buy it, so she said very casually: "One catty and eight cents, this sheep is almost six catties, and one is five yuan." ”

How could she, a shepherd, not know how much this little sheep weighed, Shen Yunfang lowered her head and thought about it, took out a big unity from her pocket and handed it over, "Accountant Li, I'll buy two." ”

Shen Yunfang led the lamb, carried the back basket containing chickens, ducks and geese behind her, and walked home with the big bolt daughter-in-law.

"You said you, you can't pull it, you have to buy these things, you don't usually put enough of them, why don't you go back to the house." The daughter-in-law of the big bolt had a headache for Shen Yunfang to spend money indiscriminately, "Yunfang, I know you may have some money in your hand, but you don't spend it like this, you can save some money when you have it, and you won't be blind if there is anything in the future." You say you're stupid or not, look at who is raising sheep in our Tunzi? Not really. Because what do you know? ”

"Sister-in-law, I know that raising sheep is not as suitable as raising pigs, but I think that anyway, I have to herd sheep for the production team every day, I bought my own lambs, and it is not troublesome to put them together, and raising sheep is much less than raising pigs, no matter how big it grows, by the end of the year, it will definitely be stronger than now." Shen Yunfang said with a smile.

This is also the idea she just had, she plans to raise sheep, for several reasons. The first is that she has convenient conditions, since she has to go out to herd sheep every day, it makes no difference in adding her own sheep, they all say that a sheep is also driven by two raising, she is released together, how can she have dozens of catties of meat left at the end of the year, just don't sell it, she can also solve her hunger. The second is to take precautions, Uncle Shen said that she will not be allowed to herd sheep next year, and it will not be so convenient for her to drink goat milk or something at that time, she has raised it herself now, no matter whether she can herd sheep next year or not, she has goat milk to drink. The last one is that she wants to make her life better, at least she can eat meat if she wants to.

In the first two days of land reclamation, she fully realized the hardships involved, and also understood that with her current physical strength, it is impossible to make a fortune by farming, so she can only engage in breeding.

It's just that in this period, even if the small place of Gaijiatun has the state's explicit support for farmers to raise chickens, ducks and pigs on their own, it will not be possible to prevent some people from getting pink eye. She has been in society for so many years in her last life, and there are really a lot of troubles caused by her red eyes.

With her identity as an orphan girl, if people know that there are a large number of chickens, ducks and pigs at home, they will definitely be coveted by others.

As soon as she saw the lamb buyer, it occurred to her that if she bought a few more sheep to raise, she would probably be able to do so.

Of course, it is impossible for her to let go of her hands to engage in breeding this year, the first is that the money in her hand is limited, she can't spend all the money, how can she keep some money to cross the river, in case she has a sick or a disaster or something, she will not be numb. The second is that if I raise dozens of them at once, then the tun must not be exploded, and the members of the club will have green eyes when they look at her. This is not a high-profile time, so even if you want to raise sheep yourself, you have to think of a proper way.

After a trip to the market, her purse shrank again, from seventy-five to fifty-two, and she bought some soy sauce and vinegar for the extra dollar.

After going back, as Shen Yunfang expected, the news of her buying sheep did not attract too many people's attention in Gaijiatun at all.

The people who knew about this also snorted, and it was over after scolding the loser.
