Chapter 95: Thirteen Help
It's just that my family can wear warmer, and Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang are also willing to try.
On the second day, when Hu Dayou took the bean curd to the market to sell, he asked the people who set up stalls around him to inquire that there was indeed a place for raising ducks and geese, but as for where it was, I didn't know.
There has been no news for a few days, and Hu Xiaomei is a little anxious, if she misses this winter, I am afraid she will have to wait for the next year. I didn't find a duck farm, so I had to go around first to see if I could receive duck down, but Fox Dayou had to go to set up a stall every day, and Wei Sanniang couldn't be empty for a while.
It has been planted for more than 20 days, and the good ones are almost a foot high, and they can be picked and sold in another 20 or 30 days.
But the fox Xiaomei and their artemisia originally looked at the growth was okay, but after a long time, they saw that the growth was not good, and the seeds were scattered evenly, but the artemisia that grew out was sparse and loose, either it grew densely here or too loose there, or there was a piece of land that did not grow, and it grew slower than other people's.
Wei Sanniang felt that there might be a shortage of water, so she watered it every few days, and the wetness of the land was maintained, but the growth of chrysanthemum did not change at all.
Fox Xiaomei thinks it's the reason for the vegetable seeds.
"It's hard to say about dry land, after all, we haven't planted anything for a few years, this is the first time, but our vegetable field is planted with vegetables every year, mother, you look at the artemisia in our vegetable field, which is exactly the same as that of dry land. It's simply a matter of the seeds. ”
Wei Sanniang frowned, she also suspected it, but the big guys all went to get the vegetable seeds together, and the fox Dayou saw Wei Qifeng weigh it from a bag. Can this still be faked?
If Wei Qifeng was a little cautious, she didn't doubt it, but Tang Daming had always been fair and just in these matters. But Hu Xiaomei's words are also very reasonable, so what is the reason?
Later, when Wei Qifeng had nothing to do, she went to the vegetable fields of each family, and after such a circle, she found a problem. Some people's artemisia plants grow similar to hers, and some people's are better than hers.
For example, Wang Changsheng's family, Mrs. Wang's, Hu Minghe's family, etc., these people's artemisia vegetables look the same as those of Hu Xiaomei's family. One piece in the east and one piece in the west. It's loose here, tight there.
and others, such as the five brothers of Hu Yingtian, Zhou Chengqi's family. Zhang Changming's family. Including Wei Qifeng's own, he looks very good.
There's also a handsome. For example, the Artemisia planted by the Ruan family grows averagely, not as good as the Fox Yingtian's family, but it grows better than the Fox Xiaomei's family. If the vegetables are different. But Zhou Chengqi's family, as well as Zhang Changming's family, were received with the big guy that day, and they were taken out of a bag. Everyone saw what Wei Qifeng could do.
So, it's certainly not a problem with the seeds, but if it's not a problem with the seeds, then what is the problem? Fox Xiaomei didn't understand either.
I can't find the reason, so I can only wait for this harvest to leave some vegetable seeds by myself, and then pick and choose to leave good vegetable seeds. In this way, the next time you grow Artemisia will definitely not look like this.
Wei Sanniang didn't go to see it again every other day, just like other dishes, she went to see it when she had time, and pulled it out when the grass grew. When she had time during the day, she took her bag and went to the surrounding villages to search for duck down.
The result is very certain, not a single duck feather has been received, but she still left a message, if any family slaughters ducks and geese, she will keep the feathers, and she will buy them when she has time.
And Fox Dayou didn't inquire about the news of the duck farm in the market for a few days, but at noon this day, he came back in a hurry, and told Fox Xiaomei when he entered the door: "The duck farm has eyebrows." ”
It turned out that the fox was asking around the market if there was a duck farm, and today he happened to be seen by the thirteenth, and after listening to what the fox said, he said that he knew where there was a duck farm. Thirteen promised to go to the duck farm in the afternoon to ask, if it was possible, let the fox friend go with him tomorrow to talk to someone.
How do you know what kind of eiderdown Hu Xiaomei wants, if you want to go, Hu Xiaomei has to follow.
Hu Xiaomei, Wei Sanniang and others didn't expect Thirteen to know the people from the duck farm, but isn't he gone, why is he still in Weijia Town?
"Why didn't he go?" Fox Xiaomei asked strangely.
Fox Dayou shook his head: "I don't know either." He only heard Thirteen say that he knew where there was a duck farm, and he wanted to come back in a hurry to tell Hu Xiaomei, but he forgot to ask anything else. However, a while ago, he misunderstood that Thirteen had something to do with thieves, and now that this misunderstanding has been clarified, he did not take the initiative to tell the whereabouts of Fox Dayou and others, and they are not easy to chase and ask.
As long as Thirteen himself is a person who walks upright, it will be fine.
On the second day, Fox Xiaomei, Wei Sanniang, and Fox Dayou went to the market together, waited for a while at the bean flower stall, and Thirteen came.
He was still wearing the old clothes given by Fox Dayou, and he looked very thin, but seeing that his face was ruddy and not cold at all, Fox Xiaomei couldn't help but secretly praise this person for being in good health. No wonder the fever fell to the back of the mountain in Hujia Village, and he could survive for a few days.
Fox Dayou and Fox Xiaomei followed Thirteen to the duck farm, and Wei Sanniang stayed to watch the bean flower stall.
The group of three went straight out of Weijia Town and headed west. Hujia Village is in the south of Weijia Town, and Weijia Town is facing west in Wei County. There was no donkey cart, so the three had to walk on foot.
I don't know what the relationship between Thirteen and the people in this duck farm is, so Hu Xiaomei decided to ask first and then make plans.
"Thirteen, how did you find out about this duck farm?"
Yesterday, when the thirteenth told the fox that there was a duck farm near the town of Weijia, the fox didn't ask anything. At this time, Hu Xiaomei asked, and he told him without concealing it: "...... I used to pass by there and accidentally found that the Wang Bo on the farm was very good, and I didn't have any silver on me at that time, so he still brought me food every day. Later, I met him when I was in Weijia Town, and he was very talkative...... Uncle Wang's family is not rich, and he will be happy to come and buy duck down. ”
"Is he the only one on the duck farm?" Fox Xiaomei said.
"It seems to be more than that." Thirteen thought for a moment.
"Then let's go to Uncle Wang?"
Thirteen nodded: "Uncle Wang is in charge of the duck farm, and the steward is responsible for other matters in the farm, so we can ask Uncle Wang again when the time comes." ”
If Uncle Wang raises ducks alone, it will be much easier to buy duck down.
Hu Xiaomei probably has a score in her heart. I didn't ask Thirteen again, I wasn't familiar with Thirteen, and I didn't have anything to talk about.
Fox Dayou had something in his heart, all the way thinking about whether this thing could be done, how much silver it would cost, what if no one bought the jacket made at that time, what to do, and how much they would lose, and they didn't say anything along the way.
Thirteen is a master who doesn't like to talk, so. The three of them walked speechlessly all the way in the direction of Weixian.
A three-fork road appeared five miles away from Weijia Town. The three of them turned into a fork in the road, and walked about a mile inside, when they saw a Zhuangzi.
Zhuangzi is very small, and looks simple and simple from the outside. It's not like the Zhuangzi of a big family. Fox Xiaomei and the two followed Thirteen around the gate. Follow the courtyard wall all the way inward. The further you go, the more you go, the more undulating hills you see. Finally, we came to a small wooden door, which was a little dilapidated. The color has long since fallen white, and the walls on both sides are crawling with creepers, just looking at it like this, it makes people feel as if no one has lived in it for a long time.
Thirteen knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened from the inside, and an old man in his sixties walked out, and when he saw Thirteen outside, he was stunned at first, and then said in surprise: "It turned out to be thirteen?" Then he saw Fox Xiaomei and Fox Dayou behind Thirteen with a suspicious expression.
Looking at the old man's attitude towards Thirteen, it must be Uncle Wang in Thirteen's mouth, Hu Xiaomei knew that she was asking for someone, so she hurriedly stepped forward and showed a sweet smile and shouted, "Uncle Wang is good." ”
Fox Xiaomei is already well-behaved, her eyes are big and very attractive, and her voice is sweet and glutinous, Uncle Wang has a better impression, and looks at Thirteen with a smile: "Thirteen, who are these two?" ”
Thirteen hurriedly made an introduction, and then told the two of them about the intentions of the two. Uncle Wang was very surprised, he didn't expect anyone to buy duck feathers, so he immediately let the father and daughter of Thirteen Tonghu Xiaomei in, and then closed the door.
Entering the small door, Hu Xiaomei took a general look at the situation in the courtyard, and in addition to the three houses in front of her, there was a large meadow, which was very open, about 30 acres of land. There is a small lake in the middle of the meadow, and there is a small wooden boat on the edge of the lake, which may be used by Wang Bo to catch ducks in the middle of the lake on weekdays. Beyond the small lake, there is a small hillside with trees of various ages.
On each side of the lake, a long row of grass huts was built on the meadow.
At this time, there were flocks of ducks everywhere on the meadows, in the lakes, and on the hillsides, and just looking at it, there were about a thousand.
Fox Xiaomei was secretly happy in her heart, she really found the right place.
Uncle Wang took the three of them into the courtyard, moved three stools out of the house, and pointed to the flocks of ducks in the middle of the lake and introduced: "It's cold, there are fewer ducks in the water, and the time is shorter." There were a thousand ducks in total, and shelters were built on both sides for them to roost. Although they are animals, after all, they only have the life of those months, and having food and sleep for them is considered to be a good deed......"
It seems that this Uncle Wang is indeed a good heart.
The three of them followed Uncle Wang towards the meadow, and when they got closer to Hu Xiaomei, they found that there was a road left around the meadow, and the path was paved with stones. Follow the gravel path along the grass to reach the two duck sheds. The meadow is fenced into several areas, each of which is of different sizes.
Uncle Wang pointed to the duck in the largest area and said, "...... As you coincidentally, the ducks in this area are just in time for moulting. ”
Generally, ducks should shed their fluff for three months, and if they look closely, they will find that there are some white light fluff on the grass. Fox Xiaomei was so happy that she didn't know what to say.
“…… Of the two areas, the smallest one is the two-month-old duckling, and the other area is the adult ducks, which are almost ready to be sold. ”
The ducklings did not dare to go down to the lake in the cold weather, and they all shrank in the grass hut, and most of the adult ducks roosted on the grass.
"So how long will this duck be sold after it is raised?" Fox Xiaomei said.
Uncle Wang didn't know that the idea of buying duck down was made by Fox Xiaomei, thinking that Fox Dayou was in charge, and seeing that she was a white and tender little girl who was interested in this, he smiled and explained to her: "Generally speaking, it can be sold in half a year." Those adult ducks have already reported to the top, and presumably someone will come to pull them in these two days. ”
Hearing this, Hu Xiaomei immediately took the opportunity to ask: "Uncle Wang, are you alone in this duck farm on weekdays?" Can so many ducks be busy? ”
"How can you!" Uncle Wang said with a smile: "If you want to just put the ducks here, it's okay, but this big duck and small duckling, just make this material every day, you have to make half a sound, and when the adult ducks are sold, you have to hatch the ducklings again, so you have to be careful." One person can't do it all. In addition, there is a goose farm on the other side of the duck farm, and it takes five or six people to make it. ”
And goose farms? Not only Fox Xiaomei, but Fox Dayou and Thirteen also opened their mouths in surprise. (To be continued......)
