329 How about raising chickens?
() When Niu Dali and Xia Dongchun were talking in the hall, Li Xianglan walked out of the kitchen with a tray and saw five children playing with Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei in the yard.
The eldest girl trotted in front of Li Xianglan and said, "Mother, I want to take my sister and brother out to play, okay?"
Erya nodded her little head.
The three siblings of the Xia family looked at her with expectant eyes.
Li Xianglan sighed and explained, "Well, but you can't go too far." ”
"Got it, mother!"
The two laughed out of two small dimples, and then ran out with the three sisters of the Xia family, and Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei also chased out.
"Big girl, is that flower field really your family?"
Before coming, passing by the sunflower field, the three sisters and brothers of the Xia family were shocked, and when they knew that the sunflower field belonged to the eldest girl's family, they were even more dumbfounded.
"Of course, that's what our family planted!" Erya was a little proud.
"Then what are you going to do with so many flowers, why don't you grow vegetables on such a good land!"
"You don't know, can the flower make something delicious?" said the second girl.
Delicious?
The three sisters and brothers of the Xia family were puzzled.
Even if they want to break their heads, they can't think of flowers that can still be delicious.
Li Xianglan shook her head and squatted on the tray into the hall.
"What's wrong?" Niu said as he looked at her.
Li Xianglan put the tray on the table and told the two girls about leading the three sisters and brothers of the Xia family out.
"Xia Xue is too, I'm going back, and I'm still playing around!" said Xia Dongchun.
"Uncle, you finally came here, how can you go back so early. Niu Dali said honestly.
"Yes, uncle, let's have a light meal at our house and then go back, the children love to play, so let them play more." Li Xianglan picked up the teacup from the tray and put it in front of Xia Dongchun, "Uncle drink tea!"
"No, no, no. Xia Dongchun shook his head and said, "I just asked the main family for half a day's leave, and I have to rush back at noon." ”
"Why did you only ask for half a day?
Niu Dali knew that Xia Dongchun and his son both worked part-time in the landlord's house, and he didn't know how much they were paid, but the general salary for short-term work in the landlord's house was not too much, and it was very hard, and he had to look at the face of the steward.
"What's the salary, it's not bad if you don't deduct it. Xia Dongchun shook his head.
"That's not like you're going to work for them for half a day. Niu Dali said.
"What's the solution, the landlord has no shortage of people to work, but we still rely on this work to support the family. ”
Xia Dongchun sighed, the Xia family has a large population, there are old and young, and Xia Xue and Xia Xue are also at the age of looking for a husband, so they have to think about it earlier.
What's more, he is also old, and while he can still afford to move and move, he can earn some for his children and grandchildren.
Looking at the white hair on Xia Dongchun's temples, Niu Dali sighed in his heart, he still understands the situation of the Xia family, his grandfather and grandmother are old and have to rely on Xia Dongchun's father and son to raise, but Xia Chuanhe's children are not small
In fact, he had thought about handing over the production of spiced tea eggs to the Xia family before, but now there are more and more stalls selling tea eggs outside, and the taste is getting better and better.
And the reason why their spiced tea eggs can still be sold to this day is still due to the credit of Lingquan.
If there is no spiritual spring, in fact, there is no difference between the spiced tea eggs and the tea eggs on the rotten streets outside.
It is not realistic to let the uncle come to the house every day to carry the spiritual spring.
After all, from Xinghua Village to Xishi Village, the aura contained in the spiritual spring has dissipated a lot, and water without aura is no different from ordinary water.
"Uncle, have you ever thought about making a living in other ways?" said Li Xianglan on the side.
"Your uncle, I'm just a rough man, how can I make a living?" Xia Dongchun shook his head with a wry smile.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about your uncle, now the situation at home is much better than before, thanks to you!" Xia Dongchun knew that Niu Dali and the two were worried about them, and he smiled comfortingly.
"Me?" said Niu Dali.
Xia Dongchun nodded and said with a smile: "If it weren't for your method of raising chickens, not only would we have a lot of chickens in every household, but even our family would have raised a lot, and we could collect more than ten eggs every day." ”
Xishi Village lacks everything, and there is no shortage of earthworms, so every household has a lot of chickens.
"Why didn't I see you raising chickens last time?"
The last time I went to Xia's house, Niu Dali really didn't find out that the Xia family had chickens, after all, Xia's house was not big, with a small yard and three dilapidated houses.
What's more, I can pick up more than ten eggs a day, and I want to raise a lot of chickens.
"We kept it in the open space at the back, fenced it off, and you couldn't see it!" Xia Dongchun explained.
"Uncle, how many chickens have you raised, and now a chicken is selling for a lot of money. Li Xianglan said.
"No more, no less, twenty-six chickens, a few days ago, two chickens were slaughtered to eat. Xia Dongchun smiled: "Or I'll bring you two chickens another day!"
In the past, the chickens were sold for money, but they were reluctant to kill, but now the chickens at home are raised, and Xia Chang's illness has been cured, so Xia Dongchun slaughtered two chickens to supplement the health of the elderly and children in the family.
"No, no, I also have more than a dozen chickens at home. Li Xianglan waved her hand and said.
"Also, the earthworm chicken is from your family. Xia Dongchun couldn't help but praise: "When I came in, I saw your big hens in the yard, all fat and strong, you are really good at raising chickens." ”
"Brother Dali and I rarely take care of those chickens, and they are usually taken care of by the eldest and second girls. Li Xianglan smiled lightly.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Niu Dali frowned, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said, "Uncle, have you ever thought about raising more chickens? It just so happens that your village is suitable for raising chickens." ”
Xia Dongchun thought about it, nodded and said, "I have thought about it, some time ago, your grandfather planned to raise more than a dozen more!"
"A dozen is enough, I think I want to raise thousands of chickens!" Niu Dali said.
"What? thousands?"
Xia Dongchun was dumbfounded.
What is the probability of thousands of chickens?
It's full of chickens.
Just thinking about it makes me feel goosebumps.
Li Xianglan was also shocked by Niu Dali's words, and she couldn't come back to her senses.
In the village, there are generally more than ten or twenty birds, and the most people raise about thirty birds, which is not even imaginable, okay.
Looking at the two dumbfounded, Niu Dali only felt funny in his heart, when Erya said that he wanted to raise 20,000 chickens, he was not so surprised.
However, he can also understand, after all, in the eyes of Li Xianglan and Xia Dongchun, raising a thousand chickens is too terrifying.
But in modern times, it's barely a small farmer.
However, in ancient times when there was a lack of feed, it was impossible to raise 10,000 chickens, but it should be no problem to raise hundreds of chickens.
