Chapter Twenty-Three: Selling Chickens
"Really, how many do you have now?"
"I estimate that there are about a hundred or so of them."
"Ah, where did you buy so many chicks?"
"I don't know much about this, every time I go to pull the goods."
"Then I want five, I'll go to your house later, and I'll get it at your house if it's suitable."
"Leave me ten, and I'll go to your house later."
"And me, I want four."
Lian didn't expect the business to be so good, it was not quite the same as she thought.
Most of the people who want to buy chickens in the village go to the family that has raised the hen and ask them to help hold a nest. There are also those who are lucky, just take them out to buy them, like the Su family, there are really not many people who can get more than 100 chicks at once.
The women hurried their hands and washed their clothes before going to Su's house, and those who didn't buy it wanted to join in the fun.
There was one who went early, and Lian's laundry hadn't come back yet, but Su Yu was at home, and she wasn't scared when she saw someone coming to buy chickens, and took someone to the backyard chicken pen.
"Auntie, look at which ones you like."
"Su girl, where did you get so many chickens?"
"Auntie, I really don't know about this."
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Qian didn't ask, and he really didn't know if he wanted to come to Suyu.
"I want eight, and you catch me one male and seven females. The one over there, and the one over here, yes, that's the one. ”
The family planned to sell chickens, but last night the chickens were not put in the chicken pen, and all of them were caught in cages and kept in cages, and twenty-five were put in one cage, but they were not crowded.
The eight that Qian wanted were kept in a smaller cage, the cage was simple, considering that it was not easy for people to buy chickens, this morning, Su Lao Er got up in the dark and made several small cages, and now there are more than ten in the house, and the father and son went to the mountains to chop firewood.
"Auntie, you take the cage back, you don't have to send it back."
Qian originally went to the river to do laundry, but after listening to Lian's words, he simply didn't even wash his clothes, and after sending them home, he came to Su's house to buy chickens, and he planned to wait for Lian's, but he didn't expect that the Su girl would be able to call the shots by herself, so she was not polite, and picked eight extra-large ones, and she earned one of the eight cents, but she didn't expect to get a cage for nothing.
"Then what's embarrassing, change the way you go to my house, and my aunt will bring you delicious food."
"Thank you, auntie."
Sending the Qian family away, the Lian family came back with a basin.
"Yu'er, who was that just now?"
When Lian went home, Qian had already walked a distance, because they were far away, and they couldn't see who it was.
"Mother, it's Aunt Qian, she came to our house to buy eight chickens, and the money has already been paid."
"This Qian is moving fast."
I helped my mother to dry the clothes on the clothes pole, and as soon as they were done, the woman who had just done the laundry came over.
"Sister Lian, we're here, where are your chickens, take us to see it."
There were three women who came, and Su Yu didn't know any of them.
"Just sit in the backyard and shut up, take whichever you like."
The three women followed to the backyard, and were stunned when they saw so many chickens locked up, but they didn't expect what Lian said to be true, she really had so many chickens in her house. The three of them also picked flowers, thinking that this one or that was good, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.
When they heard the sound of talking outside, the three of them looked at each other and hurriedly picked out the chicken they wanted. Later, there will be more people coming, and if the big ones are picked by others, then they can only pick the small ones.
The three of them didn't buy much, one bought five, and when they heard that the three of them were all in the same direction, Su Yu discussed with them, and fifteen were locked in a cage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are really not many cages at home, see if you can lock them together."
"Okay, I know your house is waiting for a cage."
"Thank you, auntie."
Su Yu was busy greeting the three of them, and the Lian clan heard the movement at the gate of the courtyard and had already greeted them. When the three of them went out, the Lian family brought several women, all of whom had made an appointment to buy chickens together. Seeing that there were people who were earlier than them, they were annoyed one by one, and they didn't send their clothes back if they knew it, so they followed the Lian family directly to the Su family, and looked at the chickens in the cage, each of them was a big spirit, and I don't know what about the rest?
When a few people came to the backyard, they were relieved, this Su family's chicken is still a top spirit, this head, it's just that this head is not as big as the few just now.
"Sister of the Lian family, these chickens of yours are not as big as the ones you sold just now, can you have less?"
Liu is usually used to taking advantage of small advantages, and he thought of this method in a blink of an eye.
Before Lian could speak, Su Yu, who was standing on the side, stopped doing it.
"Auntie, our chickens are about the same size, or I will stop the three aunts in front of me, catch one to follow the comparison, it is definitely the same, there are only a few small ones, you can see at a glance, if you don't like it, don't pick it, this price is really not less, how much is a chicken sold in the town now, the aunts know, our family will make some hard money, there is really no profit."
"Look at the little mouth of the Su girl, I only said one sentence, this little mouth will reply to me so much."
"My daughter, I am spoiled by her father, the price is really indispensable, eight cents a piece, it's really just a hard money."
There is a Jiuwen chicken seedling in the town, and the size is not as big as the Su family, and these people in the village also know it, hearing what the Lian family said, the Liu family was speechless, and they picked it up carefully.
In the village, chickens are raised, but there is still a certain risk of hens holding the nest, sometimes the eggs do not come out, the chicks die within a few days after birth, unless it is someone else's family has many chicks, which family really wants to raise a few more, only let the hens hatch at home, but now there is a ready-made price is still suitable, and I don't want to toss myself, and wait for a month where it is easy to buy ready-made.
Seventy-seven-eighty-eight picked up more than 10 more, and now more than 40 chickens have been sold at home, and more than 100 chickens can't sell much, and the mother and daughter are very happy.
"My mother thought she couldn't sell it, but I didn't expect the business to be so good."
"Now it's just that the village has received the news and came to buy it, and when I come to the village outside the next day, we don't have to worry about selling these dozens of chickens at all."
"It's still the fish that are smart."
To the next day, sure enough, with Su Yu thought about the same, most of the people who came in the morning were the villagers of Yujia Village, and when they came to the next day, they were from other villages, and there was not much left after buying chickens in Yujia Village, and they were sold out in less than a day.
