Everyone in the family knows that Jiangxi has an idea, and now the family can live such a good life, it is all due to Jiang Xi's intelligence.

So, the matter of raising ducks was decided.

In the town, it is not easy to buy ducklings, Jiangxi went for several days, but did not find that there were ducklings sold in the market, but there were many chickens.

"Alas! It seems that the ducks are not available. ”

It's been four or five days in a row, and I haven't seen a single one selling, and Jiangxi has lost confidence.

She was about to walk back when someone next to her suddenly stopped her.

"Little girl, what did you just say, you want to buy ducks?" The man was wearing gray coarse cloth clothes, and the soles of his feet were a pair of cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles, but unfortunately they were almost worn out due to the time they had been worn for too long.

Jiang Xi paused, thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence, right? Does this man have in his house?

Seeing Jiang Xi staring at him, the man continued to ask, "Little girl, do you want to buy ducks?" ”

Jiang Xi nodded: "I want to buy ducks, but I don't buy ducks, I want to buy ducklings and raise them myself." ”

Around, someone heard this and looked at the river in disbelief.

Ducks are almost unsellable, and there are still people who want to buy ducklings to raise.

You know, ducks eat more than chickens, and they need to be taken care of at all times, and the droppings are very difficult to handle, and they get wet everywhere. The duck can't grow to that big, and the duck meat is unpalatable, which is a collection of all the shortcomings.

Also, ducklings are much more difficult to hatch than chicks, and the price is nearly twice as expensive.

Only people who are not short of money at home, or fools, will think of buying that thing.

"You want to buy ducklings!" The person who asked her was so excited that he almost jumped up by the hand of Jiang Xi, he had set up a stall in this market for two or three days, and not a single duckling had been sold.

Today, I plan to come and ask again, but if I really can't do it, I can only give it away.

Just thinking that his family finally hatched two litters, he was disgusted and ridiculed by his brothers and sisters-in-law before, if he really gave away the duckling, it is estimated that he will be ridiculed even more.

The last bit of unwillingness in his heart made him come to the town, but he didn't expect to meet such a customer.

"I have two litters of ducklings at home, and it's only been less than a month, so why don't you go to my house to see it? If you want a few, I'll get you a few! The man was extremely excited, in his opinion, Jiangxi was simply a rescuer sent by God, and it was like his life-saving straw to help him.

Jiang Xi's face was embarrassed, and this man was so excited that she felt a little uncomfortable.

Before she could answer, the man saw that her face changed, and his own expression also changed.

"You...... Do you still buy it? He asked cautiously, feeling a strong sense of loss in his heart.

Just now, I felt that a pie fell from the sky, and suddenly it was gone.

Looking at the man's sudden loss, Jiang Xi couldn't bear it.

She came to buy ducklings, but she was a little scared by men, and Jiang Xi was a little resistant to going to someone else's house alone.

She is still just a child, with little hands and feet, in case something happens.

It's like the little swallow in Huanzhu Gege just left the palace and met a bad guy, who was tied up to work as a coolie, or what if he was sold.

"Well, I'm going to buy the duck, but I can't go with you right now.

I think otherwise, you can go to my house with me first, and I'll let my family go with you. ”

The man patted his head when he heard this.

"That's right! I almost forgot, you're still a kid, and it's time for an adult to see it. ”

Walking from the town to the house, when he arrived at the entrance of the town, Jiangxi saw the old man over there, chatting with a group of coachmen.

"Master!" She screamed, and the old man immediately turned his head.

"It's Xi'er."

The old man said a few more words to the coachman, and then came over.

Seeing the man beside Jiang Xi, the old man asked, "Xi'er, have you found a family selling ducklings?" ”

Jiang Xi nodded, since the old man is here, it seems that he doesn't need to go home anymore, he can go and see it now.

"Yes, I was just thinking about going home to you and going with me to see the ducks. The uncle said that he was afraid that no one would buy it, so he didn't dare to catch it in the town, so let's go over and have a look first. If it can be done, let's just buy those two litters back. ”

When the man standing next to him heard that Jiangxi was actually going to buy both nests, he was even more overjoyed in his heart.

"Alright, let's go!"

The old man waved his hand at the man and asked him to lead the way.

As he walked, Jiang Xi asked the reason for the conversation between the old man and the coachman.

"Master, what did you just say to them there?"

"Hey! It's nothing, didn't you see that there was some money left at home recently, and I wanted to buy a little scalper back. This family is up and down, dozens of acres of land, and it will definitely be able to be used in the future. ”

Little scalper! Jiang Xi's eyes lit up.

"This is good, master, let's buy a little scalper back!"

"You girl, you say that the wind is the rain, how can it be so easy to buy cattle. First of all, we have to see where there are cattle sellers, and we have to pick a head to see if it is good to feed.

Also, this little scalper can't be bought too small, otherwise it won't be easy to feed when you buy it back, and it will take a long time before it can be used. But it can't be too big, otherwise it won't be easy to support a family, and the knowledge in this is still big. ”

Just now, he was going to ask a few ox cart drivers what kind of cattle should be selected and how to raise them.

Also, it's to ask who has a calf.

He really asked a few families, just over there in the neighboring village, there was a family with a calf, and there was also a family in Liujia Village, a little farther away.

As for the secret of buying cattle, some people have also said: the chest is deep enough to put a bucket, and the abdomen is round and the ribs are arched; If you don't ask for it, you must be a good cow.

Jiang Xi and the old man were talking in the back, and the man was leading the way in front, very interested in their conversation.

I thought to myself, this family can even afford to plough cattle, it must be a rich family, and his family's two litters of ducklings are finally not worried.

After walking for a while, he turned into a small road from the main road, and the old man looked at this road a little familiar, and couldn't help asking: "You guys, could you be from Liujia Village?" ”

"Hey, old man, your eyesight is really good, I'm from Liujia Village. We have a lot of water over there, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to raise ducks. ”

The old man shook his head: "It's not that I have good eyesight, this road, I used to walk, and I can only lead to Liujia Village." By the way, in your village, is there anyone who has a calf cub, four or five months old? ”

The man paused, and then spoke: "There is such a family, but the people in their family are not easy to get along with." ”

The family that can afford to raise cattle has some continuation, plus that family has a domineering daughter-in-law, who chases and detains them on weekdays, and many people in the village don't like them very much.

"It's not easy to get along." The old man groaned, thinking that he had already come this way, and he would go and see it later.

Jiangxi has a heart, the man looks simple, and he is definitely not a good person who can make an honest person say that he is not easy to get along with.

When he arrived at the place, Jiang Xi saw the two litters of cubs protected by the mother duck and the father duck at a glance.

The tender yellow hair, soft, blown by the wind like a satin being brushed by.

It's like hugging and kissing, it's so cute!

The old man also took a look, the big ducks are very healthy, and the small ones are even more vigorous, these two litters of ducks are good.

At this time, the man's daughter-in-law, a woman holding a headscarf, walked out.

"Boss, someone bought our duck?" There was a sparkle in the woman's eyes, and after waiting for so many days, someone was finally willing to buy it.

The man shook the woman's hand, "Yes, daughter-in-law, they said they were going to buy both nests." ”

The duck is fancy, and the money is also on him, but how to move the duckling away has become a problem for Jiangxi and them.

They came with nothing with them.

plus one old and one young, you can't let one of them hold a few in their hands.

"Do you think that's right? I asked my daughter-in-law to cook now, and when I have lunch, I will send you to the house. ”

It's noon. The man didn't mention it, Jiang Xi didn't think it either, as soon as he said cooking, Jiang Xi was hungry.

She and the old man looked at each other, thinking that they would add a little more money later, so they might as well stay and have a meal.

Lunch is much worse than Jiangxi's family.

At home, they don't even have sorghum rice, just some nests made of cornmeal, which are rough and hard to eat, and difficult to swallow.

If it weren't for the water to eat, the river probably wouldn't be able to eat even a piece.

Cornmeal is rough, and it is only delicious if it is mixed with flour to make ingredients after fermentation, but poor people like this, where to buy fermented koji and flour, they don't even dare to eat more.

Jiang Xi's nose was a little sour, when she hadn't come over before, the Li family didn't know how long it had been, and sometimes they could only eat wild vegetables.

Didn't she almost starve to death when she first arrived?

It would be nice if we could bring in some more high-yielding crops.

In the afternoon, after dinner, the old man said that he would go to the house to see the cattle first, and as soon as they came out of the house, they met a husband and wife.

The man is tall and big, but the calculation in his eyes is very disliked.

The female is even more sideways, and the bitterness revealed from the bones, which makes people even more disgusted.

"Who are you?" The woman looked at Jiang Xi and them from top to bottom, showed disdain, and without saying a word, rushed into the house.

"Okay, you two, you two were talking about having no money a few days ago, and now you are still inviting outsiders to dinner, you can really do it. What's the matter, Qiao'er is not your niece, she is not even as good as an outsider! ”
