Chapter 82: Shopkeeper Wu Comes to the Door

Ye He carefully received the egg into the cupboard, too, the two old hens in the house laid eggs less often, and now these chickens are equivalent to being raised by her, isn't there a sense of accomplishment.

Liu Man'er stood up again and followed Ye He to the backyard, she was going to find the chicken that laid eggs, and then reward it well.

This chicken was the first to lay an egg, and set a good example for the other chickens, so she had to reward him well.

When I went to the backyard, Ye He couldn't find the chicken that laid eggs, but Liu Man'er easily found it, Liu Man'er fed the chicken and ate the grains, and then called Ye Yuan and asked him to make some nests for these chickens to lay eggs.

With this first one, presumably there will be more chickens laying eggs tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the nest will be done in advance, not to mention that these chickens will lay eggs everywhere, and it is easy to break these eggs.

Ye Yuan found a tree and put up a shelf on the fence where the chickens were raised, and the chickens liked to lay eggs on high places, because in this way, they felt safer.

Ye Yuan's shelf is not high or short, these hens can just fly up, and Liu Man'er asked Fulu to pad some straw into it, so that the rows of chicken nests are done.

Liu Man'er is also waiting for these chickens to lay eggs, Ye He is right, after raising these chickens, she will not have to work in the future, relying on these chickens, she can also worry about food and clothing.

Of course, although these chickens are omnivorous animals, they are usually given insects, but some grains still have to be fed, bud grains, broken rice, and boiled vegetable leaves are mixed together, and these chickens eat with relish.

In addition to chickens, today's ducks have actually grown up, but this duck will lay eggs one or two months later than chickens, so it should not lay eggs for the time being, but unlike chickens, ducks lay eggs at night, and she doesn't have to worry about picking up eggs.

In fact, it is said that it is to raise chickens and ducks, and when they lay eggs, you can not worry about food and clothing just by selling eggs, but in fact, it is not so simple to take care of these chickens and ducks, and it is difficult for Liu Man'er to take care of them every day.

Not to mention cleaning the backyard every day, the chicken pen and duck pen must be cleaned well, and cooking rice and boiling water every day, those hot ashes, willow vines let them pour into this chicken pen and duck pen, which is also regarded as sterilization.

Otherwise, these chickens and ducks are prone to getting sick and growing fleas.

Liu Man'er is afraid of this, if these chickens and ducks grow fleas, she will be finished walking around the backyard every day, this ancient clothes are worn a lot, if you provoke fleas, it is very difficult to eliminate them.

The chicken raisers are still afraid that this chicken will get chicken plague, but this year's New Year is good, and the chickens in the village have not happened to this situation, and Liu Man'er's chickens are lively and jumping day by day.

In order to be clean, she divided a large piece of the backyard into the activity area of these chickens and ducks, and even if she moved to a new house in the future, she would have to do so, saving the house from being very dirty.

Some families in this village are like this, because they raise these chickens casually, so there is everywhere in the house, and they are all dirty to death, Liu Man'er is not like this, she specially asked Ye Yuan to fence and not allow those chickens and ducks to come out.

Fang's also loves to be clean, almost every day will go to clean inside, now there is floating green, this job will be handed over to floating green, probably because there is no need to clean it herself, Liu Man'er has added tasks to floating green, she asked floating green to boil hot water every few days, rinse this chicken pen and duck pen, floating green this girl also obediently did it.

However, Liu Man'er took pity on her young age, and didn't let her do the work of carrying water, she sometimes asked Ye Yuan to do it, and sometimes she went back to fetch water, so Fulu did housework at home on weekdays, she was a diligent little girl, and she cleaned the house and the yard every day, Liu Man'er liked her very much, and specially asked Fang's to make her new clothes.

Now there are more rabbits in the house, and Liu Man'er occasionally asks Ye Yuan to bring some fat rabbits to sell in the restaurant, and each fat rabbit can almost be sold for fifty yuan, which adds up to a sum of income.

But at the same time as the income here, the family needs to pay a lot of money to build a house, and other people's houses are mud walls or fence walls, and Liu Man'er's yard is made of solid green bricks.

There are people in the village who specialize in burning bricks, and when they learned that Ye Yuan's family was so generous, they sent several kiln bricks that had been burned in the past to the foundation of Ye Yuan's house, and on the other hand, they immediately opened the kiln to re-burn the bricks, so that the laborers in the village were basically busy, and even invited people from other villages to help.

If there is something to do, it means that there is money to be made, and if there is money to be made, it means that you can have a good year this year, so the people in this village are jealous that Ye Yuan's family has the money to build such a good house now, and on the other hand, they lick their faces and come to the door, begging for something to do.

Ye Yuan is not a small number of people, anyway, who in this village doesn't talk about right and wrong behind their backs? As long as they do their job well, he doesn't care, and they don't dare to say bad things about him in front of him anyway.

Although Liu Man'er has some small opinions, she doesn't care anymore, if she invites someone else, she will say the same love anyway, not to mention, she is busy making money now, and she has no time to worry about these little things.

You must know that this green brick is not cheap, Liu Man'er uses a good brick five inches wide in order to be firm, maybe people are like this, always thinking about making their house strong and strong.

Liu Man'er is a person who likes to be stable, she has a low sense of security, especially in this ancient period, maybe there will be some turmoil again, having a solid house is more important than anything else.

Therefore, the money to be spent every day is not a few, in addition to the cost of raw materials, this labor cost can not be underestimated, fortunately, there are some savings before, and now you can make a little money every day to make sachets.

Liu Man'er estimated that there was still money to build this house, mainly because it cost a lot of money to build furniture, not to mention, Liu Man'er also planned to use marble to lay a flat land in the backyard, and then there would be a place for drying grain or anything.

There is also a corridor that she plans to use marble to pounce on, so that it will not fall on a rainy day and the ground will be covered with mud, as for the yard, she has thought that the paths that extend in all directions must be paved with cobblestones, so that the shoes will not be wet on rainy days, and sometimes take off the shoes and go for a walk, and you can also do a free foot massage.

But it takes effort and money.

No matter what, take one step at a time, take your time, and earn it when you run out of money.

At night, when Liu Man'er is idle, she will keep accounts in the house, record expenses and income, so that at the end of the year, she doesn't know where her money went.

She is happy to accept it, in fact, she doesn't like to manage money very much, but now after all, the family has invited villagers to help, at least every day to calculate their wages, so as not to have any misunderstandings when it comes time to pay.

This is not unknowing, but when she was shocked, Liu Man'er found that the daily salary expenditure of the family was as high as one or two silver, and almost all the money she spent to make sachets was all worth this salary.

Alas, it's not easy to make money, watching her money decrease day by day every day, Liu Man'er is depressed in her heart, sure enough, this landlord is not so easy to be, there is a long way to go, and you still need to work hard.

In the past few days, Liu Man'er checked the sachets they made and made sure that there was no problem, so she asked Ye Yuan to send them to the county seat, and she was bored at home, so she drew the pattern for a day.

At noon, she stood at the door waiting for Ye Yuan, but she didn't expect that the previous steward would come to the door.

Liu Man'er hadn't seen him for a long time, but she had forgotten about this person, and when she saw him, she remembered.

Oh, it turned out to be the steward who bought peanuts last time, and Liu Man'er hurriedly invited him in.

The steward explained his intention, and it turned out that he wanted to come to Liu Man'er to buy some spiced peanuts, and Liu Man'er happened to have some peanuts for himself at home, so he sold them to him.

However, it is not easy for the shopkeeper to rush to Liu Man'er's house so far, this time, he is very peaceful and humble, not as arrogant as before.

When Fang saw a guest at home, he wanted to stay with this steward for dinner, and this steward agreed.

Liu Man'er chatted with the steward, "I'm really sorry, I'm going to the county seat, you sit down for a while, he should come back later." ”

"I see, sister-in-law, you're welcome, I'm here this time, mainly to buy your peanuts." The steward said:

"I didn't expect your peanuts to be so popular, several masters in the family like to eat them, the basket you sent to our house last time was quickly sold out, so this time I also asked me to come out to buy it, is there only so many peanuts left in your house?"

"For the time being, there are only so many left, our family originally planned to keep it for ourselves, since you want to buy it, let's sell it to you first, and then we will make it ourselves." Liu Man'er replied.

In fact, she didn't think about selling peanuts for a long time, so she didn't do it again during this time, because after all, she didn't have a store, and it was inconvenient to go to the county to sell peanuts all the time.

Her family doesn't have a carriage, and it's not good to rent Tiezhu's ox cart all the time, Ye Yuan takes a long time every time he goes to the county seat, not to mention, her family's peanuts have already been sold, so she doesn't have to work hard.

"Your peanuts are so popular, why don't you open a shop?" The steward said with some puzzlement, because it would be too inconvenient for him to come to her house next time to buy peanuts.

"The main reason is that I don't have the money to open a store, and besides, in addition to one mother in my family, I have some younger siblings to take care of, and I can't leave the two of them."

"I see." The steward glanced up and down the house of Liu Man'er's house, and saw that although the house was simple, it was very clean.

The two chatted for a while, and learned that the steward's surname was Wu, so Liu Man'er didn't say much, only let the steward Wu sit by himself, let Fulu greet her, and she herself went to the door to see when Ye Yuan would come back.
