Chapter 226 Yang Xing knows how to raise ducks

"What?"

"Hahaha, do you remember when we were making braised ducks last year, we often brought ducks back from there for you to braise them?" Wu Fang reminded.

Of course Gu Qingqing had an impression of this, after all, they were all made by her. In her memory, she helped to braise more than ten ducks in Jiangping Town last year.

"Of course I remember." Gu Qingqing nodded with a little doubt.

"Most of the ducks we helped to braise last year came from the same family. Later we found out that their family specializes in hatching ducks. They sell the ducklings in the spring and keep the unsold ones at home for breeding. After the ducks lay eggs, they start selling the eggs, and then sell them as ducks at the end of the year." Wu Fang smiled and told Gu Qingqing what she knew.

When Gu Qingqing heard this, wasn't this exactly what she wanted?

I couldn't help but slap my thigh excitedly and said happily, "That's great, can you tell me where they live?"

Wu Fang answered cheerfully, "I know the general direction, but I can't say exactly where they live. However, that family is famous in the area. At that time, I saw that they could talk to people who came to buy stewed pork. When we get there, we can ask around and they will definitely know. Also, do you know how to choose ducklings? If you're not sure, it's best to bring Yang Xing with you."

After Wu Fang finished speaking, she raised her chin towards Yang Xing.

Gu Qingqing was a little surprised. She looked back and forth between the two of them, and her mind suddenly became clear. "Could it be that Yang Xing is familiar with Yazai?"

"You let her speak."

Yang Xing is a small person and gives people a gentle feeling.

I will be a little embarrassed to say, "How can I be familiar with it? It's just that when I was at home, everyone in the village loved to raise ducks, and my family would raise dozens of ducks every year. I often followed them to help, so I know a little about how to select ducklings and some of the habits of ducks."

Could it be that the Jiangnan water town is suitable for raising ducks? Gu Qingqing thought to herself.

At the same time, she looked overjoyed. She didn't expect that she was just talking casually, but she actually found out that there was an expert in raising ducks around her.

"Oh, then I really found a treasure. You said we have been dealing with each other for half a year. I knew you were good at hand-made needlework, but I didn't expect you could also raise livestock. I will plan this matter with Wuyan in the evening according to the specific specifications. As long as you are willing to help me, the price I give you will definitely not let you suffer a loss."

Yang Xing blushed slightly and lowered her head. "What's the problem? We don't have any special abilities. As long as we can support our family, that's all."

She could say it this way, but Gu Qingqing couldn't really listen to it.

She knows a famous saying: salary determines work attitude.

"Okay, then we have a preliminary agreement. I want to go and see it some other day, but I'd like to trouble you to accompany me and lead the way."

"Okay, go whenever you want. We don't have anything to do at home anyway. Just give us a call and we'll go with you. But then again, I'm not good at raising chickens and ducks. I can help with other things, but I can't pretend that I can do it. The chickens and ducklings were bought with your real money, and I dare not miss your big event." Wu Fang followed.

"Me too. I can do the hard work, or I can raise a few. But if there are too many, I may not be able to handle it." Zhao Qin followed.

Tsk tsk tsk, they were afraid that Gu Qingqing would treat them as masters, so they immediately expressed their limited abilities.

"Hahaha, we'll see when the time comes. If you really can't do it well, then you can help Yang Xing. It's fine as long as you don't mind the low pay. There's a lot of work to do at home in the spring. Although my family doesn't have much land, we can plant bamboo and trees on the mountain. If you can't do the breeding, then you can help here. Besides, why don't we go tomorrow? We should go first to see if the other party is still hatching ducklings this year. If they are, that's naturally a good thing. If this family doesn't do it this year, then we can also go and look for other places early."

It is actually a bit early to go now. Normally, people in the village who sell chicks and ducks come around early or mid-March. Excluding the twenty days or so required for hatching, it is still possible to go there later.

But she was anxious!

Yang Xing nodded and said, "That's good. When the first batch of ducklings come out, we can go there and pick out the strong ones."

Gu Qingqing smiled and said, "That's the truth."

Yang Xing was happy to know that there was work to do. After thinking for a while, she said with a smile, "When the weather gets milder, the grass on your mountain will be lush and there will be many insects. When the chickens and ducks grow up, we can release them on the mountain. That will be a blessing for them."

Gu Qingqing followed with a smile, "That's right, that's what I thought at the time. When everything is settled, we'll build two sheds for them on the mountain. Then I'll teach Dahei to cooperate with you, and you don't have to worry about the chickens and ducks running around and not coming back at night. Oh, and I also plan to raise a few geese. I heard that geese can also guard the house."

"Then we two are on the same page. In our family, every household raises two geese. That's the nightmare of the children in the village. They have to stay away from the geese. Even I was chased by geese when I was a child." It seemed that they had touched Yang Xing's comfort zone, and her temperament became more lively.

Afterwards, several people talked about a lot of interesting things around this topic.

Although the conversation did not touch upon the most critical issue of salary, everyone was happy.

Then Wu Fang seemed to have thought of something, and she leaned closer to Gu Qingqing and asked, "I heard Zhao Xi mention it the day before yesterday, but I didn't ask much at the time. Is Dahua's father going to take the county exam soon?"

Gu Qingqing smiled in a good mood, "That's right. We have an exam on the sixth day of the New Year, so we have to go there on the fifth day. We definitely won't be able to make it back on the sixth day. Besides, I want to go shopping there, so I plan to come back on the seventh day. That's why I'm anxious to go to Jiangping Town tomorrow. If we don't go tomorrow, we'll have to wait until the eighth or ninth day. Besides, now that the place has been finalized, the hillside here also needs to be tidied up."

"Then we have to hope that Dahua's father can get good grades in the exam and become a high-ranking official in the future. When we tell others that we know you, we will feel proud."

"I think so too. Who knows how he will do in the exam." Gu Qingqing paused here, then looked at the three people and asked, "Putting aside the words, you and Uncle Yang knew each other earlier. Even though the adults had to make a living, they could only recognize a few words. Your children are seven years old, and the youngest is four. Why don't you plan to let them learn to read?"

A few of them smiled awkwardly, but finally sighed, "You may not know, we are not so busy just now. We took a break for the winter. When we were digging canals before, we worked with everyone all day long. We didn't even have the energy to teach our children to read."

Gu Qingqing also sighed when she heard this. Logically, as they were taking care of Old Yang, they should have taught the children to read and write from an early age. Only in this way could they find better and more stable jobs in the town in the future.

However, every family has its own difficulties. At most, she was just curious about this matter and absolutely could not say anything more.
