Chapter 445: Cramming

"Third sister, are those wild ducks on the river raised by your Zhuangzi?" After Cao Ying and Hu Yanping's wife chatted for a while, they suddenly asked, the other party called them duck thieves on the boat just now, but those are obviously wild ducks, how can someone raise wild ducks?

Hearing Cao Ying ask like this, I saw that this Mrs. Huyan sighed and said: "Fourth sister doesn't know, these wild ducks can be said to be raised by me, or they can be said not to be raised by me......

Mrs. Huyan explained the matter of those wild ducks as she spoke, but Zhao Yan was also surprised when she heard it, and finally understood the reason why those wild ducks did not fly to the south for the winter. It turns out that the people of the Huyan family have been feeding these wild ducks since a few months ago, raising them fat and fat, so that their flying ability will be greatly weakened, and the wild ducks are stupid, and after seeing the abundant food here, they don't want to leave, so this is the situation that there are wild ducks here in winter.

"I see, I see!" Zhao Yan was also very excited when he heard this, and he suddenly thought that he had seen some news in the later life, and the news said that people in some places fed migratory birds, and as a result, these migratory birds did not fly to the warm south in winter, and he still couldn't believe it at the time, but now it seems that it should be true.

"Third sister, if you want these wild ducks, can't you just let people catch them, why spend so much effort to feed them?" Cao Ying asked curiously again at this time, the wild ducks in Bianhe are not one or two, but a very large group, and it also costs a lot of money to feed so many ducks, so what is the purpose of Hu Yanping and his wife doing this?

"Well, if anyone else had asked that, I wouldn't have said it. But since it's the fourth sister, you ask, I have nothing to hide, and it's my life to say that it's hard for me to encounter such an unlucky thing......" Mrs. Huyan smiled bitterly and told the story of the matter, which made Zhao Yan and the others finally understand what was going on.

It turned out that several of Hu Yanping's brothers were also adults, and they also married wives and had children. According to the rules of the Huyan family, in addition to inheriting the eldest son of the head of the family, the other brothers must be divided, which is also a very normal thing, of course, when the family is divided, these children of the Huyan family who have left the family will definitely be given a piece of family property, and the value is also very considerable.

Hu Yanping and his wife were lucky, and they drew lots to the Zhuangzi opposite Zhao Yan and them, noting that Zhuangzi is not a house, and there are many tenants of the Huyan family in the Zhuangzi. This is similar to Zhao Yan's courtyard, and there is also a mansion next to Zhuangzi, although it is not as beautiful and exquisite as the mansion that Zhao Yan bought, but because it is on the edge of the Bianhe River, it is also very valuable.

Originally, Hu Yanping and his wife were also very happy after drawing this Zhuangzi, and Cao Ying's cousin took the time to understand the entire Zhuangzi, and then prepared to carefully manage the Zhuangzi. It is worth mentioning. This Zhuangzi in Huyanping does not have much land, but because it is close to the Bianhe River. Therefore, most of the people in Zhuangzi make a living by raising ducks. Considering that the city of Tokyo has a population of millions and consumes a lot of meat every day, it is also a good business to raise ducks.

However, just like this Mrs. Huyan said, it may be that she is really miserable, just after taking over this Zhuangzi, there is even a large landlord near the Zhuangzi who has also begun to raise ducks. And this big landlord doesn't know where to get the secret, the ducks raised are fat and big, and the merchants who usually buy the ducks of the Huyan family find out, and immediately turn to buy the ducks of the big landlord, and the ducks raised by the Zhuangzi of the Huyan family can't be sold at all.

The tenants of the Huyan family did not have much land in the first place. Most of them make a living by raising ducks, and these ducks are bought by the Huyan family, and then the principal and interest will be returned to the Huyan family after they are sold, but now the ducks can't be sold, and naturally they can't pay the principal and interest to the Huyan family.

Hu Yanping has a sick brain, so naturally he can't help the family find a way, so all the things are pressed on Cao Ying's third sister, speaking of which Mrs. Huyan is really capable, and after asking people to inquire in many ways, and after spending a lot of money, she finally found out the secret of raising a duck.

This secret decision is not easy to do, and even Zhao Yan was very surprised after hearing it, because this secret decision is to improve the breed of domestic ducks with the help of wild ducks, Huyanjia first used a lot of time to feed wild ducks, and when these wild ducks will not fly away, they and domestic ducks will be driven together, so that after the two ducks are crossed, a new kind of duck will be produced, and now the price of wild ducks on the market is much more expensive than the price of domestic ducks, so this new breed of ducks is likely to be welcomed by the acquisition businessmen.

"It's a good idea, I've heard that people in the south drive their sows to the mountains and cross them with wild boars to give birth to better breed pigs, but I didn't expect ducks to do the same." After listening to this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but admire, it seems that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, although they do not understand systematic biology, but they already know how to use hybridization to improve the breed of livestock and poultry.

"Alas, although this method is good, we also have to take a certain risk, after all, no one knows what the ducks born from wild ducks and domestic ducks are like, and what the taste of duck meat is. However, Cao Ying's third sister sighed again at this time, and Zhao Yan also felt very reasonable when she heard it, after all, no one can control the direction of hybridization, although there is a great possibility of improving the breed of domestic duck, there may also be worse new breeds.

"Smack! I was so stupid that I almost forgot about this! Zhao Yan suddenly slapped his head at this time, and said with a somewhat annoyed expression on his face, speaking of ducks, he suddenly thought of a trick in the later generations, although this trick is nothing in the eyes of the later generations, but it can just solve the problems that Hu Yanping and his wife are facing now.

"Husband, have you thought of any way to help the third sister?" Cao Ying was most familiar with Zhao Yan, and when she saw his expression, she immediately asked with a look of surprise, and when Mrs. Huyan heard this, she looked at Zhao Yan with a look of disbelief, although she knew that Zhao Yan was very knowledgeable, but she didn't believe that he even knew how to raise ducks.

"Haha, I did think of a way, although I haven't tried it, but I've seen others use it, and the effect is very good, at least it's much stronger than your method of using wild duck hybridization." Zhao Yan also laughed at this time and said, Hu Yanping is his friend, and the Mrs. Hu Yan in front of him is Cao Ying's third sister, and now that the other party is in trouble, he naturally wants to help.

"Husband, what is the solution?" Cao Ying asked even more eagerly when she heard this, Mrs. Huyan next to her was also very anxious, but she was not easy to ask, as for Xue Ning'er and the others next to her, they also showed very curious looks.

"Hehe, the name of this method is cramming!" Zhao Yan suddenly smiled strangely and said, the education of the Celestial Empire in later generations has always been called cramming education, at first Zhao Yan didn't understand what it was called cramming, and then he made a special inquiry, only to know that it was originally a special tool to force the duck to feed and fatten, so that the duck fed out not only grows fast, but also has delicate and oily meat, and Beijing duck is used for this duck.

"Cramming? What's this weird name? When Mrs. Huyan heard this, she said to herself in confusion, although she had not taken over Zhuangzi for a long time, because Zhuangzi mainly raised ducks for a living, so she also knew some about the methods of raising ducks, but she had never heard of any duck stuffing.

"As the name suggests, cramming duck food is actually used to make duck food into long strips or paste, and then use tools to force it into the duck's belly, and during this period to limit the activities of ducks, so that ducks will grow fat and long, duck meat is also very delicate, third sister, don't you say that other people's ducks are fatter than your ducks, I believe that after your Zhuangzi adopts the method of duck stuffing, you will definitely be able to raise fatter ducks, so that you can attract those merchants who buy ducks back?" Zhao Yan explained with a smile.

"This ...... Is this really possible? When Mrs. Huyan heard Zhao Yan's method, she asked in disbelief for a while, she had never heard of being able to force-feed ducks, but if they could really raise fat and big ducks, it would solve the dilemma they were facing.

"Third sister, don't worry, since he said this method, it will definitely have an effect, where is the other third brother-in-law, it is better to let them discuss these things, let's get together today!" Cao Ying didn't have the slightest doubt about Zhao Yan's words, and if it weren't for the fact that the other party was her third sister, I'm afraid she would have to use this cramming method in exchange for some benefits!

As soon as Cao Ying asked about Hu Yanping, Mrs. Hu Yan felt that it was indeed a little inappropriate for her to discuss these things with Zhao Yan, and immediately smiled heartily: "Husband, he is in Zhuangzi, I will go and ask someone to find him, as for this method of cramming, brother-in-law Lao will teach my husband!" ”

"Hahaha~, it's a trivial matter, the third sister doesn't have to take it to heart, I didn't expect Brother Huyan to live opposite, third sister, you don't have to send someone to find him, I just crossed the river by boat, as for the third sister, you can talk to the lady and them for a while!" Zhao Yan laughed again at this time, speaking of which, he hadn't seen Hu Yanping for a long time, and he didn't know how he was now, and whether his brain disease had improved? (To be continued......)
