Patriarch Tan quickly summoned the villagers to his courtyard.

Qiduo talked about buying seedlings to raise chickens and ducks, and explained the details clearly.

Tanjiazhuang is not only backed by the mountains, but also faces the Shixi River, whether it is raising chickens or ducks, the conditions are excellent.

Without this Shixi River, it would be really difficult to raise ducks on a large scale, and I can't raise a few ducks just by relying on the pond in the village.

If you raise too many ducks and occupy the pond, then the villagers' daily drinking water, laundry and vegetable washing will become a big problem, and the villagers will definitely oppose it.

The Shixi River passes through the village, far from the edge, and the fish and shrimp in the river are extremely abundant, and raising ducks is the best choice.

Qiduo deliberately talked about the advantages of the Shixi River, so that the villagers could go back and ponder it.

After listening to Qiduo's words.

The crowd was a little boiling, this was another business that could make money.

But because they have to spend money to buy seedlings first, some villagers hesitate.

On weekdays, the chickens and ducks raised by the villagers are hatched from their own eggs, which is almost cost-free, and a young child costs four cents, which is really a little reluctant.

"Seventh girl, if you don't do this, we will hatch the chicks ourselves, and our old hens will be holding the nest in the past two days. When the chicks are raised, we sell them to you, how about it? A woman in her fifties asked with a smile.

Today's Tanjiazhuang, except for the Tan family and the Tan patriarch, no one directly calls Qiduo's name, and they all call the seven girls directly, which is very respectful.

As soon as the woman's words came out, the eyes of several villagers lit up, thinking that they would bring some eggs at that time. Let the hen of the woman's house help them hatch. You can save nearly 100 dollars.

Qiduo replied with a smile. "Auntie, the chickens and ducks we let everyone raise are not the same as the chickens and ducks we usually raise at home, otherwise, where can we sell them in three months. We asked everyone to buy back the chicks and ducks, which were not only more delicious, but also grew very fast. In this way, we can raise a few stubbles per year. ”

"Just. This kind of seedling costs several pennies a piece, which is too expensive. "There is humanity.

Qiduo still smiled and said, "Is it expensive?" Come, I'll do the math for you.

Seedlings cost four cents a piece, and a chicken has to eat rice for three months, and we spend a maximum of ten cents at most, which is already the top of the sky. In this way, the cost of a chicken is about 14 Wen.

Under normal circumstances, a chicken can grow to about three catties in three months, three catties can be sold for 36 Wen, and a chicken can earn 22 Wen.

If we raise fifty at a time. In those three months, you can earn one or two pieces of silver, and if you raise a hundred. That's two taels of silver. In a year, we can raise at least four stubble, even if we only raise fifty each time, then we can earn more than four taels of silver, one hundred is more than eight taels, two hundred is more than seventeen taels, the more you raise, the more you earn.

And we just calculate the income from raising chickens, if we add duck raising, it is a double benefit.

At the end of the year, how much money we can earn from our hard work in farming, I believe that all the uncles and aunts will calculate it compared to me. And raising chickens and ducks will not delay the work of planting crops, it is simply an additional income.

Of course, when I say this, I don't mean that you have to buy seedlings and go back to raise them, I just calculate the accounts for everyone, and you can think carefully before making a decision. If there are those who are willing to raise, we will sign a formal contract to ensure that we will take back the chickens and ducks that we raise, and we don't have to worry about the market. ”

After settling an account, everyone's eyes are red.

Everyone is shaving in the mud, busy all year round, the skin is taken off a few layers, the family together, at most three or four taels of silver, this has to be a good year of wind and rain, in order to earn these.

But in addition to the family's expenses and various taxes, what is really left in the end is even more pitiful.

And now he is just raising chickens and ducks at home, and in a year, he has steadily received nearly ten taels of silver.

Almost everyone is tempted, and if you don't make money, it's a bad thing.

"Seventh girl, although the account is calculated like this, but we who raise chickens and ducks know that if we encounter chicken plague or something, then the chickens and ducks will suffer, and we can't get a leftover, and then the rice we put in is not counted, and this kind of seedling money will be wasted. It's not easy for our farmers to make some money, but we have picked it back little by little. The long-tongued sister-in-law Ge Shi patted her thigh and said.

"That's right, the year before last the chicken plague, my family of twenty chickens, even a seed is left, and then my eldest daughter did confinement, or spent money to buy chickens to give confinement gifts. Later, because of the lack of chickens, my in-laws were not happy. A woman in her forties immediately answered, her face full of indignation.

"Yo, that's right, I had fifteen chickens at home last time, and I was told several by weasels." And humane.

Whether you are raising chickens or ducks, death and injury are inevitable.

Ge's words immediately made everyone follow behind, and they all thought that there was a risk, and everyone's faces became hesitant for a while.

Hearing Ge Shi mention the chicken plague, Qi Duo suddenly remembered that the chickens and ducks on the Luhuapo side were in excellent health, especially the thousand chickens, and they almost didn't hear Aunt Fang and Tang Hu Niangzi talk about the deaths and injuries.

A thousand were sent, and except for those that were eaten, not a single one was lost.

It seems that the pups hatched from eggs catalyzed by the ability are extremely resistant to germs.

A few ducks died because they were originally bought directly from the hatchery, but later they never heard of any sick and dead ducks because they had been drinking spiritual spring water.

Tang Hu patrolled the Luhua Slope every day, whether it was crops or animals, as long as there was any situation, he had to record it for later reference.

Qiduo has seen Tang Hu's inspection records, but has not seen any deaths and injuries of chickens and ducks, so he knows that the chickens and ducks are very healthy.

She was secretly happy in her heart, chickens and ducks not only grow fast, but also not easy to get sick, where is the worry about not being able to raise well.

However, there are just in case of everything, and she will not promise in front of everyone that the chickens and ducks will not die, that is asking for trouble.

Tan Dejin and Old Man Tan looked at Ge Shi together, and they were a little disgusted by her mouth.

I thought it hadn't been for her. Maybe everyone has decided to buy seedlings.

Qiduo was not disgusted with Ge's words at all. Instead, I was a little grateful.

Some words are said in advance. It's better than saying it when something happens later.

She smiled and said to the hesitant villagers, "Aunt Ge is very right, when raising chickens and ducks, it is very likely that some bad things will happen, and this is the risk."

It's just that then again, there's a risk in doing anything.

Is there a risk in buying the bare Luhuapo in the first place? Of course, there are risks, and if you don't get it right, you will lose all your money. Is there a risk of growing crops like everybody? There are also risks. In the event of a major drought or flood, the crops will be reduced or sometimes even lost, and months of labor will be wasted, as well as money on rice seeds and fertilizers.

It's like walking is risky, maybe somewhere we fall and twist our foot.

So, no matter what we do, it's risky, and if we don't do it because we're afraid of it. Then we won't have to grow crops, we won't have to go out. You can't do anything anymore because there's a risk.

But what if that's the case?

Hehe, I'm afraid there won't be anyone in this world.

Uncles and aunts should go back and think about it, raising chickens and ducks is indeed a bit risky, but the risk and benefit are still not big compared to the return. If someone is really afraid of losing the money of dozens of seedlings, I sincerely advise him, don't raise it for the time being, and wait until you see that other people's families have made money, and then you can act.

Okay, that's it, and if you keep talking, it's verbose. ”

After listening to her words, many people nodded yes, this is indeed the truth, and everything is in case.

At this time, I saw Tan Dama get up and stand up, and said in a loud voice, "Seventh girl, our family is willing to raise, you leave a hundred chicks and fifty duck seedlings for our family." ”

Tan Dama has earned some silver in the past six months because of the Qiduo family, and the conditions of the family are getting better and better, and he plans to build a new house at the beginning of next year.

Seeing that Tan Dama had spoken, Patriarch Tan nodded with relief, stood up, and said to the others, "You people, who were afraid of wolves and tigers, will never make a lot of money." The Seven Girls want to take you to make a fortune this time, you are good, and if you are still talking nonsense there, you will give me a good consideration when you go back, and if you are willing, come to my house and sign a contract with the Seven Girls. ”

Then he looked at a few more seven, "Seven girls, count me as a share, one hundred chickens and ducks, just let your grandmother and a few aunts raise them at home, and let the ducks be put in a few tigers and four eggs when the time comes." ”

"Well, okay, I'll make a note of it, I'll go back to prepare the contract in the evening, and Ming'er will come over to sign the contract together." Qiduo responded with a smile.

She is very grateful for the public support of Tan Dama and Patriarch Tan.

The crowd dispersed, and they all went back to think about it.

On the second day, Qiduo took the drawn contract to Patriarch Tan's house and let him see it.

Patriarch Tan carefully read the contract, which clearly stated the responsibilities and obligations of both parties, the Qiduo family is responsible for the sale of high-quality seedlings and the later recycling, if it cannot be recycled, it is a breach of contract.

Farmers are responsible for raising seedlings, and after three months, they can only sell them to Qiduo families, and cannot sell them to others, otherwise it will be a breach of contract.

If both parties breach the contract, they must bear the corresponding responsibility.

In the past few days, five or six more have come to sign contracts with Qiduo.

In this way, in the entire Tanjiazhuang, there are only ten families who are willing to raise chickens and ducks in the end.

This proportion is not high, but it is not low either, anyway, Qiduo is satisfied, and it is enough to have these families at the moment.

Next, Tan Dejin and Tan Debao transported the seedlings back, and according to the number on the contract, the seedlings were sent to ten families.

Although the seedlings were distributed to each family, Qiduo did not breathe a sigh of relief, and went to these houses every once in a while, and put forward some feasible suggestions, hoping that everyone could raise chickens and ducks better.

And the eyes of dozens of other families in the village are staring at these ten families, waiting for the results in three months before making the next step.

The autumn rain continued for several days without stopping, and by the evening it was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky had completely darkened.

The crisp sound of the bean-sized raindrops hitting the tiles is inexplicably uncomfortable to listen to.

Qiduo was discussing the sauce shop with his parents in the house, and suddenly the courtyard door was slammed.

The sound of banging on the door drowned out the sound of the rain. (To be continued......)
