Chapter 96: Talk
Thirteen was a few days here but didn't know that there was a goose farm here, and Fox Xiaomei and Fox Dayou were happy.
It's a duck and a goose, and their jackets are gone.
Hu Xiaomei immediately told Uncle Wang her original thoughts: "...... Whether it's the fluff that falls from the ground, or the fur that you pluck after slaughtering, we want it. Although this duck feather is not as good as the fluff, it can make do for a while. ”
Uncle Wang looked at the fox friend strangely, and then said: "It's okay to replace the fluff, but I can't guarantee that the hair that has been killed and plucked out can be left every time, because sometimes the owner directly pulls the ducks and geese away to be slaughtered in other places." ”
Does this mean that the owner of this duck farm has such farms in other places?
However, there is no urgency in this matter, and now she has to get the current matter done first.
"It's okay, when you can, please help us keep it." Fox Xiaomei said, paused and said: "As for the price of this acquisition, how about five copper plates a catty?" ”
Uncle Wang frowned, a duck's duck feathers are at most two to three taels, and a pound of duck feathers costs three ducks, but the slaughtered ducks are drenched in water, and there is about one pound of duck feathers for two ducks. Three hundred adult ducks have to get five or six hundred copper plates, plus the ducks can pick up a lot of eiderdown when they change their moults. The most important thing is that in the past, no one wanted these duck feathers and duck down, especially after the duck was slaughtered, and the basket of duck feathers did not know where to throw it. And there are hundreds of geese over there.
Now it's okay, don't worry about what to do with the duck feathers, you can exchange a few dollars, and it's a convenient thing.
Uncle Wang's brows relaxed. "Yes." However, because there are many people in this duck farm, you must not mention this to others, and I will tell them that my relatives want it at that time. ”
Hu Xiaomei and Hu Dayou both nodded, this is better, Uncle Wang just wants to earn two more for himself, and it just so happens that they don't want too many people to know about this, lest someone come to grab business in the future.
After discussing, Hu Xiaomei was anxious to make a jacket and try it out, so she immediately picked up the eiderdown on the ground. Uncle Wang thought for a moment. Let the three of them wait for a while, go around the courtyard wall, and go to the other side of the courtyard, and after a while. He came back. I found a broken piece at random for Fox Xiaomei. "Go ahead, I've already said hello, but." Don't make too much of it. ”
It means that they don't get too close to the ducks.
Fox Xiaomei and Fox Dayou nodded, and the two of them rushed into the duck farm. Don't look at the duck down all over the floor, it's quite a hassle to actually pick out the amount of fluff in a jacket.
Fox Xiaomei and Fox Dayou picked up duck down on the grass, Thirteen and Uncle Wang stood outside the fence and talked, nothing more than asking where Thirteen had been these days, and learned that Fox Dayou had helped Thirteen a lot, and Fox Xiaomei also saved Thirteen's life, Uncle Wang sighed that good people have good rewards.
After talking for a while, Fox Xiaomei and Fox Dayou were still picking up fluff, and Thirteen took the initiative to go into the fence to help, and only then did the three of them return to the fence when they filled the loose stuff in the fence.
I asked Uncle Wang for a worn-out cloth bag and put all the duck down into it, but unfortunately Uncle Wang didn't weigh it here, how to call it?
Uncle Wang was very talkative: "It's okay, you take it back and weigh it, and tell me next time, and the silver will be paid together next time." ”
Hu Xiaomei nodded, feeling that it was really lucky to be able to find Uncle Wang to buy duck down, this matter is thanks to Thirteen, if this business can be successful, she must thank Thirteen. Then I asked when I would buy duck down next time.
"Wait a few days, I'm going to be busy selling ducks in these two days, and I'll see if I can help you leave the duck feathers together, and I'll naturally pick up the duck down for you." Wang Bodao.
Fox Dayou thinks it doesn't matter, anyway, I'll come back in a few days to take a look, but Fox Xiaomei wants an approximate day, so as not to run here twice in three days, the road is far away, and it's not safe to bring too much silver on your body.
Then he said: "Uncle Wang, how many days do you think it will take?" In this way, my father can arrange the affairs of the family in advance and come over. ”
Uncle Wang thought for a while and said, "Wait for four or five days." ”
"I'll do it." Fox Xiaomei and Fox Dayou looked at the thirteen who suddenly spoke in surprise, and they didn't expect him to volunteer: "Anyway, I have nothing to do every day, let me take a look when the time comes, if Uncle Wang's eiderdown is ready, I will come back and call you uncle." ”
Fox Xiaomei was happy to have someone to help run errands, her eyes were bent into a beautiful crescent, she nodded at him with a smile, and thanked him: "So the work in the field at home will not be delayed, then thank you so much." ”
The crescent-like eyes sparkle and shine, and the bright eyes are even more attractive.
For some reason, Thirteen was a little embarrassed, scratched his hair, and said, "It's nothing." ”
The acquisition of eiderdown was smooth sailing. If you want to make a good down jacket, it is filled with duck down, but a duck only changes its hair once, how can there be so much duck down. Therefore, the fox Xiaomei plans to use duck feathers, cut off the fine hairs on the head, and don't do the rest, although the cold resistance is not as good as duck down, but it is also stronger than the cotton jacket. Ordinary people can buy this kind of household figure cheaply.
Rich people can buy eiderdown, and the price must be more expensive.
And these duck feathers have to be processed and disinfected again, which takes some effort. However, with her as a modern person, sooner or later the money will have to flow into her pocket.
On the way back, Fox Xiaomei couldn't help humming a little song, Fox Dayou is a loving father, and no matter how bad his own daughter is, it is good in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "The second child sings so well, be louder, let Dad hear what you are singing?" ”
The fox Xiaomei was speechless, and she couldn't roll her eyes at the fox friend, it was too disrespectful, so she could only say: "Hum nonsense." Then he shut up and said no more.
It was already past noon when the three of them came out of the farm, and it was already afternoon when they arrived in Weijia Town. Fox Dayou calculated that he would have to use a large sum of money to buy duck down in the future, so he bought three pieces of baked cakes at the biscuit stall to temporarily quench his hunger. He called Thirteen again: "Thanks to your help, you didn't eat lunch when you were tired, so why don't you go back with us, and you will eat at our house in the evening, how about it?" ”
"Uncle, what you said is serious, you have helped me more than once, I am just voting for Li, it is not a credit, why do you still come to the door to scratch." Thirteen shook his head.
"Oh, what's this, you and I are so familiar, since you call me uncle, just listen to me, it's just a meal, just add dishes and chopsticks." Although Fox Dayou is an honest man, he is not stupid, and Thirteen has known that he is a proper person since these days, and today he helped his family find a place to buy eiderdown, Uncle Wang is very good at talking, but after all, he is familiar with Thirteen, and he is looking forward to something in the future that Thirteen can help talk about the item, so this meal is not for nothing.
Hu Xiaomei also felt that it was nothing to invite Thirteen to eat, so she also said: "The left and right Hujia Village is not far from Weijia Town, and you won't delay when you come back from dinner." Besides, how do you solve the problem of having dinner alone in Weijia Town? ”
Thirteen found a remote house that no one lived in for a while, it was very simple and dilapidated, fortunately it was not difficult to find a place to sleep, as for food, when there was a copper plate on the body, he would go out to buy something and come back to cook, if there was no silver, he would go to the forest outside the town to find wild vegetables, or catch birds and fish. However, it was cold, the fish were difficult to catch, and the birds were nowhere to be seen.
He touched his empty bag, Xu Shi also felt that dinner was a problem, so he no longer shirked, took the duck down as light as a feather in the hands of Fox Dayou, and returned to Hujia Village with Fox Xiaomei and Fox Dayou.
As soon as I entered the village, someone saw the thirteen who came back with the fox friend, but I didn't expect that the people in the yamen looked for the thirteen everywhere a few days ago, and then they suspected that the fox was on the head, and the limelight passed, and the thirteen really came with the fox friend. I can't help but wonder if Fox Dayou has always known where Thirteen is.
Fox Dayou has always believed that he is not afraid of shadows, and the affairs in the yamen have nothing to do with Thirteen, and someone asked him: "Why is Thirteen here?" ”
He replied frankly: "There are some things in the market that I need to ask him for help. ”
Back at home, Wei Sanniang, Fox Fence Xiang and Fox Fence were also surprised when they saw Thirteen coming back with Fox Dayou.
Fox Dayou didn't wait for a few people to ask, and took the initiative to say: "...... Xiang didn't eat at noon, and I saw that he didn't even have a place to eat, so I asked him to come back with us. ”
Thirteen took Fox Dayou and Fox Xiaomei to buy duck down, and the family knew that Zuo was just about adding dishes and chopsticks, Wei Sanniang said happily: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you don't dislike drinking porridge and swallowing bran in our house." ”
Thirteen would be disgusted, and hurriedly said: "How come, it's too late for me to be grateful!" ”
The dinner originally prepared for five people was afraid that it would not be enough, so Wei Sanniang immediately asked Hu Lixiang to make some more cakes.
Fox Xiaomei took the cloth bag in the thirteenth hand, and while preparing to take a clean one out, she said to Fox Dayou: "Dad, go and borrow a rod to weigh it, weigh how much, and count the money to Uncle Wang next time." ”
Fox Dayou said "hey", raised his feet and walked out of the yard, Wei Sanniang and the fox fence hurriedly walked over to see, and even the fox fence incense who was in the kitchen and noodles ran out. One by one, they exclaimed: "Wow, you bought so much duck down?" ”
"The duck down is already loose, looking at a cloth bag, but there is not much. I'm afraid that's only enough for a jacket, where is it! Fox Xiaomei said.
The fox who went out took the rod and called it back after a while: "The borrowed sister-in-law's house." Ming'er, let's go to the market and buy a handful. ”
"I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, why are you in a hurry to buy the scale?" Wei Sanniang said.
Women have always been careful and timid in their work.
"This thing won't break when you buy it, even if you can't use it this time, it will be useful in the future."
"Our family won't sell vegetables in the future, what's the use of this name?"
"If you don't sell it now, if you can't sell it again, will you sell it again one day?"
The two couples raised the bar in front of the child, and Hu Xiaomei had no choice but to persuade Wei Sanniang with good words: "Mother, don't worry, this is called money can't be sold, do you see that our family's douhua is not doing well now?" Don't you still believe in your daughter? Besides, I didn't say I would buy it right away, but I would wait until I got this first jacket ready and tried it. ”
Hu Xiaomei's words were still a little calm, unlike Fox Dayou, who said that the wind is rain, so Wei Sanniang didn't say anything. (To be continued......)
