Chapter 320 Raising Goose

"Yes, yes, we don't have to go back to catch them," Man Bao said: "There are also insect eggs in the ground, and all the grass seeds are eaten, so that there will be fewer insects and grass next year."

Man Bao also regretted, "It's a pity that chickens can't swim, otherwise they can still be raised in the fields. It likes to eat snails so much. If we put them in a group, we don't have to worry about the snails eating rice."

Thursday Lang: "It seems that the duck can swim, but I don't know if it will eat rice."

Tuesday Lang: "Where are you going to find ducklings? You can count the duck breeders in Shiliba Village with a single finger, but there are quite a few geese. Otherwise, you can bring a few geese back to raise them?"

"No," Zhou Dalang said without thinking, "so a big goose is put into the field, is it eating snails, or pressing rice grains? It won't damage the crops."

"Yes, yes." Everyone agreed, and the matter was over.

However, Man Bao remembered the roast goose he once ate at Shan Bao's house, couldn't help swallowing, and then looked at the fourth brother vaguely.

Shirou met her gaze and blinked, failing to understand what she meant.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand. When everyone dispersed, Man Bao went to him to discuss raising geese.

Thursday Lang said: "Big brother and none of them agree, who will raise me when I buy it back?"

"Let's keep it," Man Bao said. "Anyway, they can't throw the geese out. We don't put them in the fields when we buy them back, but we can put them in the river."

"Fourth brother, the roast goose is delicious, very delicious," Man Bao said, "Anyway, the chicken shed is behind the house, and a grass shed next to the house will be fine for the geese to live in. It's so big, A rat can't bite it, and a weasel can't steal it."

Thursday Lang felt that what she said made sense. He rolled his eyes and glanced at the three brothers who were busy. He lowered his voice and said, "I am here with the fifth and the others. I can't tell the older brother and the others to know."

"You buy the goose first."

Thursday Lang stretched out his hand, "No money."

Man Bao glanced at him with disgust, "Fourth brother, you are married, why don't you save a penny?"

"I wanted to save it, but I didn't have the chance to enter the county seat. Every time the tuckahoe and wild mushrooms were collected, the second brother brought them to the county seat."

Moreover, my father has long spoken, because of the flood, the next money will have to be handed over to the public. Even if the second brother goes to the county seat, the money he earns will not reach his own pocket, unless...

Thursday Lang stared at Man Bao and whispered, "Young sister, fourth brother will discuss something with you."

Man Bao hummed, "What's the matter?"

"Can you buy more candy from Mr. Zhuang? I'll sell it in the county town. How about we split the profits in half?"

Man Bao said seriously: "The candy was not given to me by Mr. Zhuang, but by a friend of mine."

Thursday Lang nodded perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I know, then you go and tell your friends, your fourth sister-in-law is pregnant with a child, and I wanted to pull a piece of cloth for the child in my stomach, but Dad gave it to Master Bai. The wages have also been collected, your fourth brother, I can't really use your fourth sister-in-law's dowry? That would be a shame. "

It is very humiliating to use a daughter-in-law's dowry, especially in the first year.

Man Bao nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, but fourth brother, you have to take the big ones with them too."

Chu Chulang was taken aback and asked, "What are you taking them for?"

"They also have candy to sell."

"Okay, take them with you, and bring the goose back to you when I come back from the county town."

When Man Bao, who was about to pay for the fourth brother, heard it, he immediately stopped and nodded, "That's a good idea. After selling the candy, just buy the goose, so I don't have to spend any money."

Thuro, who was still holding out his hand:  …

Man Bao patted his hand and said, "Just wait, I'll give you the candy at night."

The chicken coop is not difficult to build. There are many old Zhou family members, but it took two and a half days to build it. Considering that the chickens will be raised more and more, it was built a little bigger.

Xiao Qian rushed all the chickens to the new chicken coop, bought ten more chicks and sent them in, and took care of them for two days. After seeing that they were all familiar, they didn't care much.

The chickens are handed over to the children below, who will drive the chickens to the fields to eat insects and grass every day, and then give some vegetables leaves and rice bran for a meal at home, and the chickens will become very fat.

When it comes to farming, the people of the old Zhou family seem to be good at it by nature, even the younger children do it well.

Datou was very relieved to give the chicken to his younger brothers and sisters, and they took turns to go to the county town to sell sugar with Thursday Lang.

After walking all the nearby mountains and couldn't find Poria, Chuu Lang stopped running up the mountain.

With the bleak autumn, there are fewer and fewer vegetables in the county, and the vegetable business of Lao Zhou's family is better. Especially the tofu made by Xiao Qian's, although he brought two plates every day, it was still not enough to sell.

When the old man saw him, he immediately decided not to sell any beans this year, and kept his own tofu.

There are a lot of people who have made the same decision as the old Zhou family, but they keep the beans not for tofu, but for cooking beans and rice next year when the green and yellow are not available.

Originally, grain prices would drop after the autumn harvest, but this year the situation is just the opposite. After the grain shops could not receive enough grain, they could only transport grain from other places. Therefore, the grain price, which was suppressed by the tax-free official documents, rose again. .

Even the price of food has gone up.

Originally, the price of grain in the grain shop was not a matter for the old Zhou family, because after confirming that he would not pay taxes this year, the old Zhou thought that this year's harvest was enough to last until next year's winter wheat harvest.

Since he doesn't have to buy grain from the grain store, and he doesn't know how to sell it, there's no need to stare at the grain price.

But the old Zhou family can still clearly know the daily food price changes, because Zhou Lang will nagging every day when he comes back.

There is no way, when the people who buy vegetables with him always say a word or two when they go to buy vegetables, today's food prices have risen again...

It rose so high that Lao Zhoutou, who has always had a tight grain pocket, couldn't help but want to take the opportunity to sell some of it.

But as long as he raised his head to look at the children and grandchildren who had two separate tables at home, Lao Zhoutou could only let out his breath and sighed and stopped thinking about it.

There are too many people in the family, and they can eat too much. If you buy food at a high price at this time, and go back home and run out of cooking, wouldn’t you have to pay a higher price to buy it back?

That's called a pit.

Man Bao doesn't know anything about this, and her mind has been studying and earning points lately.

Mr. Zhuang's class is very important, the class in the teaching room is also very important, and it is also very important to earn points by trading in the forum, so that she was in a hurry for a long time and felt that there was not enough time.

Later, Keke recommended a book to her - "How to Plan Your Time Efficiently", a very thin book and very cheap, only three points.

It's the cheapest book I've ever bought.
