Chapter 84: Duck seedlings are harvested
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofei understood that this old man had raised ducks to supply Liao Ji Restaurant, but now that there is a locust plague, the old man's family is even starving to death, and there is no food to feed the ducklings, so he just wants to quickly deliver the ducks in exchange for some silver money to buy food.
But this Liao Ji Restaurant is unwilling to accept this duck that has not grown up, the old man is already difficult, if the duck can't be raised, but the family will really starve to death, there is no way, so I have to entangle with Boss Liao on this street.
Lin Xiaofei pitied the old man's difficulties, and also understood Boss Liao's situation.
Now that there is a locust plague, where do the people in the town still have money and leisure to eat restaurants, I am afraid that Boss Liao's life will not be easy.
Lin Xiaofei touched the five taels of silver that Mrs. Lining had just given in her purse, thought about the locust plague again, and saw the little duck with wings fluttering in the basket, and suddenly said: "Grandpa, don't embarrass Boss Liao, so let's take these ducks for you." ”
"You?" The old man raised his head suddenly and looked at Lin Xiaofei in disbelief.
"You heard it right." Lin Xiaofei nodded, "How much are you going to sell these duck seedlings?" ”
The old man was so excited that he almost cried, but it took a long time to calm down and say: "At least, at least three taels of silver, little girl, you, if you really like these duck seedlings, give two taels and let me get my capital back." ”
Lin Xiaofei opened the purse, poured out four taels of silver from it, and then reached out and handed the silver to the old man: "This is four taels, I bought all these ducks, you hurry up and buy some food and go home." ”
The old man's hand trembled and he almost couldn't catch the silver, so he hurriedly grabbed it and gave Lin Xiaofei three salutes: "Girl, girl is very kind!" ”
"Don't, don't." Lin Xiaofei hurriedly helped the old man up, and patted the dust on his body for him, "I buy and you sell, we are in business, and no one owes anyone." ”
"I'm still in a hurry right now, old man, you can take the money and go back." Lin Xiaofei didn't say more, picked up the little duck in the basket, raised his feet and hurried away.
The ducklings croaking in the basket on the way kept calling, although it was night, the weather was still too hot, Lin Xiaofeire was afraid that they would be fainted to death by the heat, and he had to find a shade place to put down the basket to let the ducklings breathe, and where there was a river and stream, he also took banana leaves and held water to drench the ducks.
Lin Xiaofei held a torch, and on this dark mountain road, he was delayed all the way until the early hours of the morning, when it was almost dawn, before he arrived at the entrance of the village.
But it's also thanks to these ducks that keep barking behind her back, otherwise Lin Xiaofei is alone, she may not dare to walk this dark mountain road.
Entering the village, Lin Xiaofei hurried back to Shen Orion's house first.
Shen Orion just wanted to go out to hunt in the mountains and forests, and when he heard Lin Xiaofei coming back, he was so shocked that he put the bow and arrow on his back, and hurriedly asked: "Why did you come back at this hour, could it be that you walked at night?" ”
"Yes, I don't have time to talk about this now, here are some duck seedlings, you put them in the yard and raise them first, and then please trouble you to grind a bluestone flake for me, and the thin smooth will be made without a sharp blade." Lin Xiaofei handed the basket to Shen Jinnian, and hurriedly explained, "I have to go back to Lin's house first, and I'll tell you when I come back later." ”
