Chapter 44: Selling Wild Duck Eggs
The weather in early summer is the most pleasant, with the summer breeze wafting through the reeds and rippling in circles. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoOccasionally, one or two wild ducks flapped their wings and flew up, like a colorful painting into people's hearts.
Su Manman and Little Bean Sprouts each went home and got a small bamboo basket and walked towards the river beach.
There is very little water in the shallows of the river, and it is almost as easy as your feet and necks, and you can walk almost freely in waterproof shoes.
Wild ducks are natural hunters, and except for the occasional flight, it is very difficult to reach them, and you can only guess where there are wild ducks from the shaking reed leaves, but by the time you rush over, they are often gone.
"Let's find a stick and start from the beginning and look to the side, so that it won't be missed. Little Bean Sprouts suggested.
"Well, listen to my sister. Su Manman nodded.
The two separated the distance, found a long stick, and began to sweep away the reeds, which were not easy to find a few wild duck eggs in such a large reed.
However, it is the breeding season, and around April is the main breeding season for the mallards, and around October another batch of eggs will be laid, and their nests will be where there is hay.
There are still a lot of wild duck eggs now, and after a while, the two found a nest, about eight duck eggs.
"Wow, that's a lot, let's go half. Su Manman quickly ran forward and brought the wild duck eggs in a nest.
Good luck goes on one after another, and after discovering that there are so many, they no longer do the business of killing chickens and collecting eggs, and keep one or two in each nest, hoping that the wild ducks will still be able to make nests there in the future.
When the two of them walked back, the small bamboo basket was already full. In order to be afraid of being discovered by others, they also went to pick up wild duck eggs, and they also picked a few handfuls of wild vegetables and covered them.
It's the time when the farm is busy, and the adults are not interested in these things, only the children will gang up to pick them up, but the children have a lot of fun, and this is only a small part of it.
The two of them came to Su Manman's house, and dozens of wild duck eggs pressed the two of them to the waist and couldn't straighten up. Su Manman regretted this, he didn't need to have ready-made labor, and he had to move back by himself, yes!
"Man Niang, I keep all these duck eggs at your house, I will only take a few back, otherwise I won't get a penny. Little Bean Sprouts said very frankly.
"Of course you can, I can also save the money you earn, so as not to be searched by your mother. ”
As a result, when the mother of the little bean sprouts saw the wild duck eggs, she was still very satisfied, and the chickens at home had a lot of eggs a day, so many eggs, how many days did the chickens have to lay them? The next day, she also asked the little bean sprouts to pick up.
This time, Su Manman was full of learning, she led Baa out of the door, and when the time came, she not only made Baa a porter, but also let it eat fresh grass, Baa Baa was also very satisfied!
Now Su Manman has a new job every day, moving a small bench and wiping duck eggs with a handkerchief. The surface of the duck eggs is too dirty, and there are duck feces on them, but in Su Manman's eyes, these are all copper plates one by one! Even if she wears gloves, she has to endure cleaning them up.
"Yo, Manniang is finally willing to do serious things, don't be idle and have nothing to do in the kitchen!" Xiao Wang sneered.
Su Manman ignored her strange tone, bowed his head and pretended not to hear.
"Hey, a little fart kid, you don't like to take care of people, you find so many duck eggs, and give them to your brother when the time comes!" Xiao Wang touched his big belly.
"Aang. Su Manman nodded, naturally he wanted to give it to his brothers and sisters!
"Hmph! It's weird and boring. Xiao Wang nodded Su Manman's forehead, straightened his fat body, and went back to the house to lie down.
The fourth aunt is fat again, she had a maximum of 100 pounds before she was pregnant, and now she can't beat it when she looks at one hundred and fifty or six, Su Manman secretly scolded, and she didn't know when she would recover after giving birth, if she was still so fat...... Uh, it's scary to think about!
Although Su Chenglu was a few days better during the Chinese New Year, he began to stay home again after the New Year. It's just that there is only the smell of alcohol on the body, and there is no smell of fat powder, so Xiao Wang's stomach is almost eight months old.
Su Manman and Xiaodou Sprouts picked two wild duck eggs for two weeks, adding up to hundreds, Su Manman picked out twenty and found a small pickle jar, so that Wang's pickled into salted duck eggs, can't they all be sold, the family hasn't eaten them yet, right?
It was obviously not possible for only two children to enter the county, and this time the fourth uncle happened to enter the city, so he used an ox cart to carry them all. When he arrived at the place, he only told him not to run around, and when he came to pick up people, he would disappear, and he was not afraid that the kidnappers would abduct and sell his niece, and his heart was big enough.
The two of them didn't pick a place, they found a random place, laid out a sack, and sat on a small bench. This piece is all for the seller's poultry eggs, but it is the first time I have seen such a clean duck egg, and as soon as I put down the things, someone came to ask the price, and it was an old lady who was dressed very neatly.
"How do you sell duck eggs?"
"Two texts and one article. Su Manman stretched out two fingers, she had already done her homework this time and inquired about the price clearly.
"Why are your duck eggs more expensive than others? ”
"Grandma, it's domestic, it's wild, one grew up eating food, the other grew up eating insects, can it be the same. This is really a wild duck egg picked up one by one, and it takes a lot of effort to eat and keep you alive and healthy. ”
"This little mouth is quite good at talking, okay, just give me twenty, but I'll pick it myself. ”
"Okay, you pick. If you eat well, give us the word and we'll be here in a few days to sell it. ”
The old lady carefully selected twenty wild duck eggs, and Su Manman gave one away because he was the first customer, which provoked the old lady to say that she would come back after eating.
"Man Niang, you are so powerful, I didn't dare to speak just now. Little Bean Sprouts said adoringly.
"What's this? Just practice more. One more person, tell you to go up and say, can it be done?"
"Hey, hey, hey. The little bean sprouts nodded violently after hearing this.
Good packaging is a good gimmick, always the point of selling something. The wild duck eggs of two people, even if they are more expensive than others, are still sold at noon.
"Let's go buy something to eat, there is a big meat bun in the town that is particularly delicious and not expensive, how about I treat you?" Su Manman patted his bulging waist bag and said.
"Okay, then I'll ask you next time. "The little bean sprouts are not shy at all.
Su Manman likes her refreshment.
The two came to Wang Ji's bun shop, and there were already a lot of people inside. I casually found a corner and sat down, ordered four big buns with pure meat filling, two bowls of millet porridge, and a plate of small pickles, and the two of them let go of their bellies and ate a belly round. The four big meat buns were panicked after only half of them.
"It's delicious! I've never eaten so full. Little Bean Sprouts sighed.
Su Manman suddenly felt sour in his heart......
