It turns out that these chickens are hatched from eggs. Although some people use hens to incubate eggs, after all, the hens can only hatch dozens of eggs in one clutch, and during the hen's incubation period, then
It won't lay eggs.
The birth rate of eggs hatched by hens is also not as good as that of artificial eggs. Every spring, this lady visits every household and asks who wants chickens. She then goes back to hatch them and then sell them to these families.
There are two methods. One is that the buyer also provides the eggs to Wang Po, and pays some commission for whatever eggs are hatched, which is regarded as hard work.
The other way is to decide how many chickens you want and just buy ready-made ones when the time comes.
Shuangxi asked about the price. Five copper coins a piece was not too expensive. The thin pheasant in this market could still be sold for fifteen copper coins. The domestic chickens were fatter and could be sold for twenty coins.
copper plate.
Shuangxi asked again how to sell the goslings. Geese were more expensive, costing eight copper coins each. Shuangxi did some calculations and decided to buy a few chickens, ducks, and geese.
"Grandma Wang, I want ten chickens, ten geese, and five ducks with me." Shuangxi said with a smile.
Granny Wang smiled and nodded: "Madam Shen is really a virtuous person, why don't you come here more often?"
Shuangxi shook his head gently. With so many eggs, it would be enough for the Shen family to eat. If there were too many, these poultry couldn't always eat grass, right? They also had to feed them with some grain. Considering the current situation of the Shen family, it was indeed not feasible.
Should be raised more.
Grandma Wang looked at Double Happiness, but refused to leave.
Shuangxi suddenly realized that she had not given the deposit yet! Shuangxi gave a total of fifty copper coins to Granny Wang as the deposit.
Grandma Wang warned: "Madam of the Shen family, if you want anything else in the future, come and find me."
Because of the need to raise these poultry, Shuangxi proposed to install a fence. In fact, it was not for this reason. The Shen family should also build a fence. It is not a problem to open the yard.
When building the fence, Shuangxi asked the Shen brothers to also fence the small open space behind the house. It would also be good to grow some vegetables for food.
Spring is gradually getting stronger. Perhaps because of the mountains and springs, the Shen brothers are not allowed to go to the fields recently, so Shuangxi can only stay at home.
These ancient times were really boring. Except for Dani who occasionally came to talk to Shuangxi, at other times Shuangxi and Shen Bingxian learned calligraphy together.
"Bingxian, your handwriting is so beautiful." Shuangxi said, looking at the timeless and graceful handwriting even though it was written on the sand. These words are infused with the human spirit. Immortal Shen Bing is refined and has a touch of fairy spirit this time.
Son.
Although it is hot in Shen Bingxian's room, it is not unbearable. If you are closer to Shen Bingxian, you will not feel the heat here.
"Xi'er. If you practice harder, your handwriting will become beautiful." Shen Bingxian sounded like an echo in the empty valley, like the sound of jade beads falling onto a plate, in Shuangxi's ears.
Shen Bingxian's body carried an unworldly lightness. Shuangxi looked at the young man in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but feel soft.
"Xi'er, it would be great if I was fine." Shen Bingxian suddenly sighed and said this.
"Ah?" Shuangxi felt that there was a deeper meaning in Shen Bingxian's words, but she did not understand it directly.
Shen Bingxian reached out and touched the soft hair of Shuangxi who was practicing calligraphy on the short table. Shen Ziyan went to find Meng's father to make this short table. The Meng family's mother-in-law was fierce and unruly, and she did not seem to be a good person, but this Meng
My father is pretty good.
Shen Ziyan didn't dare to buy too many things. After all, the Shen family's money was a little tight, so they only bought a low table. When guests come, they can put it by the kang and put two bowls of water. If there are no guests, Shuangxi can be used for practicing.
When eating, it can also be used as a dining table.
Shen Bingxian's hand was very gentle, as if she was afraid of damaging Shuangxi, and Shuangxi's back was slightly stiff.
Shen Bingxian said with a hint of melancholy: "This spring is so good. I wonder if I can see the next spring."
When Shuangxi heard Shen Bingxian say this, his nose suddenly became astringent. A young man like Shen Bingxian should not suffer from such a strange disease.
"Although spring is good, the people in spring are the best." When Shen Bingxian said this, she gently hugged Shuangxi.
Shuangxi couldn't bear to push away this frail young man. There was already too much suffering in this young man's life.
"Bingxian, you will get better." Shuangxi said firmly to this young man who was as tall as cattails, and also said it firmly to himself.
Shuangxi felt a slight chill on his neck, as if water drops had fallen on it, and Shuangxi's heart became sour.
It is said that men should not shed tears lightly. When a man sheds tears, he will probably give people an uncomfortable feeling, or even disgust. But Shen Bingxian's drop of clear tears seemed to fall into Shuangxi's inner lake.
There was a ripple in Shuangxi's heart.
Shen Bingxian has never felt like this, that time flies so fast and the days left for him are so short. His body is getting weaker and weaker. He doesn't know how long he can last, and he is reluctant to leave.
He wanted to seize this spring and this girl who came into his world with light.
Shen Bingxian held Shuangxi for a long time, and then said softly: "Xi'er, let's practice calligraphy."
The hand held Shuangxi's hand and began to wander on the paper.
In this eternal life, he will do his best to teach Xi'er what he wants to learn.
"Bingxian, do you think these flowers are beautiful?" In the afternoon, Shuangxi did not practice calligraphy. Instead, he ran to the short slope of the mountain, dug out a few wild chrysanthemums, and broke off a few flowers.
Shuangxi planted the wild chrysanthemums in the yard, and Shuangxi put the folded wild flowers in a clay pot and carried them into Shen Bingxian's house.
This flower is a bit nondescript in a clay pot, but it has the smell of spring.
Shuangxi wanted to bring this raw and beautiful thing to this man who was like an immortal.
"Beautiful." Shen Bingxian nodded with a smile. This smile was like the spring breeze blowing on her face, like blowing away the snow-covered winter, but her bright eyes were not looking at the flower, but... the person holding the flower.
Shuangxi noticed Shen Bingxian's gaze, her face turned a little red, she hurriedly put down the flowers and ran out.
Shen Bingxian, how should she... face him?
When the seedlings were grown, the Shen brothers and the Yun brothers had already dug the canals to divert water into the rice fields. Shuangxi had to participate in the transplanting. She was afraid that the Shen brothers and the Yun brothers would not do it in vain.
The seedlings were ruined.
When this nursery first grew, the Shen family received a lot of ridicule.
The ridicule was nothing more than, how could the rice be planted so densely? The Shen brothers really overestimated their abilities! How could crops be harvested if they were planted so densely? But then, everyone actually saw the Shen brothers and the Yun family’s mountains
, the spring actually gently lifted the seedlings out of the ground.
"You have to press this root into the water and don't let the seedlings float, otherwise they won't survive." Shuangxi stood on the field stalks and directed several men working in the fields.
It's not that Shuangxi didn't want to go to the fields, but those men simply didn't allow Shuangxi to go to the fields.
"Daughter-in-law, wouldn't this rice be drowned if it was planted in water?" Shen Mo asked with a worried look on his face.
In fact, it's not just Shen Mo who has this question, but other people also have this question.
Shuangxi said firmly: "You can just plant rice with confidence, there will definitely be no problem." When she was a child, she saw people planting rice in the countryside.
Time always passes very quickly. In one day, the rice has not been completely planted, so everyone made an appointment to come back tomorrow.
In three days, all the seedlings were planted. Su Yu was also lucky. He came just after the seedlings were planted.
When Su Yu walked in the fields, his nobility was not diminished at all.
He smiled and said to Shuangxi: "The method of growing rice like Mrs. Shen's is really not what ordinary people can think of."
Su Yu came in a hurry and left in a hurry. On the second day after Su Yu left, the Shen brothers were completely free.
It was already early summer. During this period, Shuangxi and his family went to town to sell ramen several times. Because Su Yu was backing them, Liu Ji Noodle House didn't cause any trouble.
Shuangxi asked Dani to accompany her into the mountains. It had just rained yesterday. The wild vegetables in the light rain season grow best. Shuangxi thought about it and dug some wild vegetables back to eat. The Shen family didn't have to worry about food now, but they always ate that.
Noodles, whole grains, etc., and not eating some vegetables are ultimately unhealthy.
The vegetables in the vegetable garden have not grown yet.
After waiting for a while, Dani came over. It was obvious that Dani had dressed up deliberately, and her usually messy hair was tied up.
During this time, Dani ran to Shuangxi's house when she was free.
At first, Shuangxi felt very happy. After all, it was good to have a friend. But later, Shuangxi felt something awkward about it, but she couldn't explain it.
At this time, Shuangxi was already waiting at the entrance of the yard, but Dani did not directly tell Shuangxi that she wanted to go together. Instead, she looked into the yard.
"Dani, what are you looking at?" Shuangxi looked back at the empty yard.
Dani smiled and said, "I didn't see anything."
The two of them went into the mountain together. There were still a lot of people going up the mountain in this season. Shuangxi wanted to pick some longevity vegetables. The scientific name of this longevity vegetable is purslane. The raw ones are reddish brown, and the leaves are thick and fleshy, which is easy to recognize.
.
Shuangxi calculated that he still had a small piece of meat left over from selling ramen at home, and picked some longevity vegetables to make a meal of dumplings for the family, which would be a reward for everyone's recent hard work.
Although the family's money is not very rich, Shuangxi feels that there are times when one cannot eat too much. If one eats unhealthy food, one will easily get sick.
Fortunately, the Shen brothers, including Shen Yan, followed Shuangxi's efforts to improve the food, and did not say that Shuangxi was ruining the family.
But yes, Shuangxi can always change its tricks and use the cheapest things to make the most delicious taste. Because of Shuangxi, the Shen brothers have gradually gotten rid of the thin look they had at the beginning. (To be continued.
