Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Duck Eggs Fall to the Ground
The next day, when Cheng Yangyang woke up, she found that she was already lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, she didn't know when Nanfeng Fang left, and whether she had alarmed Cheng Qingqing and them when she left.
When she went downstairs, she happened to see Liu Dong hot up the leftover dishes from yesterday on the table, and Cheng Qingqing and Li Yuanan were already sitting at the dinner table and eating.
Seeing that Cheng Yangyang woke up, Liu Dong immediately prepared dishes and chopsticks for her, "Boss Cheng, you are up, I have already heated the rice, come and eat."
Cheng Yangyang nodded, and when she went out to wash, she looked around weakly, seeing if Nanfeng was there, and she was relieved that she didn't see anything unusual.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is nothing fun in the poor ravine of Wangjia Village, the adults in the village are at most gathered together to chat, and the little ghosts are running around happily, and no one goes to the ground on the first day of the new year.
But Cheng Yangyang is different, she is idle at home, she just tried the taste of wild duck meat yesterday, and today she has already started planning.
The duck pen under the hill has changed from the original five or six duck eggs to the current wild duck flock, nourished by her energy water, the third generation of the duck flock has begun to replace the fluff and become a big duck with a male duck voice.
It's strange to say, her wild duck flock is now two days old, and the wild ducks from the mountains fly in to join, and then they can't get rid of it, and they are probably all hungry for her exclusive feed.
Because she was busy with the house, she asked the aunts in the village to help her feed her once a day these days, and the water was also fed by the stream on the side of the mountain, and she finally had time to change the water for them in person today.
As soon as the sink was full, the ducks pounced on them with their wings wide open, scrambling to bury their beaks in the water, and drank them with a faint sense of satisfaction.
After the ducks came around, Cheng Yangyang realized that there were so many duck eggs that fell on the ground, didn't she specially lay a piece of forage to lay eggs for them? Why are they all on the ground now?
She opened the fence and went in, crouched on the hay floor and turned it gently, and found that the grass was already full of duck eggs, and there was no room to lay eggs for them.
"Looks like you've been eating well lately, laying so many eggs," she said to herself, to the ducks, but it's okay to lay more eggs and her duck factory can be built quickly.
In order to prevent these eggs from freezing on the ground, Cheng Yangyang turned around and went back, called Liu Dong and the two little ghosts, and asked them to pick up duck eggs with her.
"Sister, is this also our family?"
Cheng Qingqing didn't come to the foot of the mountain, and he didn't know that there was a duck pen between the back of the vegetable garden and the fish pond.
"Of course, where did you get the duck you ate yesterday? ”
"Sister, you are too powerful!" Cheng Qingqing began to gradually accept Cheng Yangyang's transformation, and planned to be a child taken care of by her sister from now on.
"Sister Cheng, the eggs here have been trampled on", Li Yuanan had already gone in to pick up the eggs, and he found several eggs that had been trampled on.
When Cheng Yangyang heard it, he thought that there might be someone in the duck pen, but when he got closer, he found that it was not stepped on by a person at all, but by a duck, and it was not in one place!
"It seems that the land is indeed too small for them to live in. ”
She thought that it was only those five or six eggs, and there would be one or two hundred ducks at most in half a year, but she didn't expect them to reproduce so quickly, and now the ducks that can lay eggs are almost five hundred, and she has to pick up thousands of duck eggs a day.
They are heavier than ordinary ducks, and it is strange that they do not break when they step on them.
"Boss Cheng, I picked the forage, do you see if it's enough", Liu Dong just went down the mountain to pick up dry straw on the edge of the ridge, he only picked a load, thinking it was enough.
But when he saw a white duck egg in the duck pen, he knew that this bit of forage was not usable.
"Boss Cheng, how long have you not been to the duck pen, why don't you pick up so many duck eggs!"
"It's not that I don't pick it up, it's that I have nowhere to put it", Cheng Yangyang was also very helpless, it snowed a little yesterday, did the ducks on the mountain come to her to keep warm?
Keeping warm is warm, and she comes with eggs, and she has so many lays, but it gives her a headache.
"Liu Dong, do you think it's too late for us to expand now?"
Now the only way is to expand, the ducks are impossible to get rid of, and the eggs cannot be stopped, so the only way is to expand the place so that they can live more comfortably, so that they can be sold after the New Year.
"Boss Cheng, you say, how to build, I'll come!"
Liu Dong had a sense of obligation, but how could Cheng Yangyang let him do this work alone.
"I remember that there was a lot of wood left over from the construction of the house, and I will go to the village chief now to ask for a piece of land, and if it is soon, I will start construction today!"
The land at the door of her house is big enough, but if she uses it to raise ducks, she can't accept it, otherwise she will either be woken up by ducks or smelly every day, and the gains outweigh the losses.
She picked an old duck, pulled a straw and tied it to her legs, and went down the mountain to find the village chief.
At this time, Village Chief Wang was sitting at the door chatting with the villagers and blowing water, telling them what Cheng Yangyang was doing in Liujia Village, and they were envious of the fact that the people in Liujia Village planted trees and had monthly money.
Seeing Cheng Yangyang coming, someone asked directly, "Cheng girl, I heard that you are going to plant fruit trees in Liujia Village, can you also let me plant them?"
They seem to think that taking their paddy fields to plant trees and getting 400 catties of grain and monthly money a year seems to be more profitable than farming, so they also want to plant.
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want you to plant fruit trees, it's just that our village is not suitable for planting trees, and it is important to have enough food now, and growing food is the long-term solution. ”
Cheng Yangyang responded with a smile, Nanyi's current urgency is to let people eat first, it is not possible to go far by planting fruit trees without growing food, fruit is a dessert after meals, and food is the foundation of the people.
"That's it, I didn't even say I wouldn't let you ask!" Village Chief Wang agreed, obviously he was still complaining about Cheng Yangyang with them for a second.
"Cheng girl, who are you?"
"Oh, village chief, I'm here to greet you for the New Year, Happy New Year", Cheng Yangyang handed the duck in his hand to Village Chief Wang, above board, not afraid of other villagers to see it.
"Ouch, what's so embarrassing", Village Chief Wang was flattered, saying that he was embarrassed, but he had already taken the duck with both hands, "Quick, come into the house and sit!"
Village Chief Wang was rare about the duck, so he went to untie the duck and place it first when he entered the door, and then found rice bran and water to feed the duck before he came to entertain Cheng Yangyang.
"Girl, what are you looking for me?"
Bringing something to the door is different from not bringing something to the door, Cheng Yangyang stepped into this courtyard several times, and was only invited into the house by Village Chief Wang today to talk about things.
"Village Chief, I remember that there is a vacant lot at the foot of the mountain on the right side of the back village, and that vacant land is empty and no one uses it, do you want me to use it?"
