Zhao Jian and beard took the Ganoderma lucidum. They were speechless. It's not Chinese cabbage, so they gave it away
They couldn't help but look at Li Changting's face. Seeing that he was not unhappy, they accepted it with ease.
The next day, as we found more and more things, we began to pick them selectively. In the wild, we ate the ones that were not easy to keep, and left the rest with us.
Towards noon, everyone finally came to the bamboo forest that Xu Qing said, leaving a small place for Changxi village to ensure that everyone in Changxi village can have a bamboo shoot, and the rest will be shared by today's people.
This bamboo forest is very close to Changxi village. After walking for about half a day, many villagers of Changxi village suddenly want to go back to the village.
But when they think of the recent situation in the village they asked Xu Qing about two days ago, they are hesitant.
It's said that the fields in the village have been flooded, and the whole valley has been flooded. The valley in front of their cave has become a river, and even the cave has been almost flooded. Because of soil erosion, the mountain is full of sand and stone, which is not very good for planting.
No place is a good place to go now. The only advantage of Shanzhai is that it has plenty of water and land.
It took half a day to dig bamboo shoots. Zhao Jian and beard are also ready to go back with a lot of mountain goods. They have been out for several days, and they have basically picked all the things that can be picked here. Next time, they plan to go to the mountains in a different direction.
Xu Qing and Li Changting wait for Zhao Jian and Hu to leave before leaving for the village.
A few families who said they wanted to go back to the village heard that it was not easy to farm now, so they followed them back.
Instead of walking along the original road, they continued to climb the top of the mountain to see what was there, so that they could go back and tell everyone.
As they approached the top of their cave, Xu Qing and Li Changting entered the space.
Xu Qing poured the half basket mushrooms into the wooden basin and took out four bamboo baskets.
"How many?" Li Changting asked standing in the chicken fence.
Xu Qing opened the gate and went in: "we'll keep ten. There are 14 families left, five for each family, and 80 for each family."
During this period of time, they were actively cultivating chickens, ducklings and rabbits. Since the hens at home started laying eggs, Xu Qing could pick up countless fertilized eggs every day, and hundreds of chickens were hatched every month.
Now the fence can't hold so many chickens at all. It's just that the weather is getting better now. It's good to take out some of them or send them or sell them.
Two people choose the chicks that have been growing for more than a month. The chicks that are one month old don't need to be brought by the hens. They can find food by themselves. They can feed them by sending them out. The important thing is that they won't be attacked by the hens when they catch them.
Two male and female half grasp, to ensure that at that time every family can have cock and hen.
After catching chickens, go to catch rabbits. It's enough to catch 70 rabbits. There aren't many ducks. Just catch 30, two for each family.
When they came out, they each picked out two bamboo baskets and turned over a hill to return to the village.
At this time, everyone was digging the ground to grow grain outside. Xu Qing and Li Changting appeared carrying a bamboo basket. The chirping sound of chickens in the bamboo basket soon attracted everyone's attention.
Through the cracks in the bamboo basket, we were shocked to find that there were many young poultry inside. Seeing so many poultry in this scene is like a person who has been hungry for a year and has not eaten meat suddenly seeing a big pot of delicious braised meat!
"My God, did you buy this?"
"Didn't you go to bearded cottage? What's going on over there? How come there are so many chickens and ducks? "
"You are so awesome! Where did you get these? "
Everyone was not busy with the work in the field. They held Xu Qing and Li Changting all the way back to the cave.
All the people in the village came running. They were all around Xu Qing and Li Changting. They were very anxious.
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Xu Qing put down the bamboo basket.
"Mm-hmm, you say."
"There are 80 chickens, 70 rabbits and 30 ducklings here. I brought them back to sell them to you. Don't worry about the price. I'm here to tell you that we didn't bring them from bearded cottage. I can't tell you the source, but don't disclose them. There are so many good things. Let's share them by ourselves first."
Everyone nodded and understood. After all, they didn't have the ability to do so many good things. Xu Qing should be grateful and thankful for thinking about everyone.
But everyone is worried. Now that chickens and ducks are so scarce, the price is certainly not cheap.
Xu Qing then said, "I'm going to keep ten of the 80 chickens myself. The rest are five for each household. There are also five rabbits for each household. There are not many ducklings for each household."
"The price Do you think we can pay you when the grain is harvested? We don't have any grain left now. We have to save the rest for planting... " Someone was careful.
Xu Qing: "I'll talk about the price now. I'll give you a question. Let's see if you want to. If you don't want to, it's OK. If you don't want to do business, you can't be benevolent and righteous. Don't lose your harmony."Everyone swallowed, waiting for Xu Qing's words.
Xu Qing: "the price of chickens and ducks is like this. When the chickens grow up, each family will pay me ten eggs, and then pay me double, that is, ten one month old chickens. Ducks are four fertilized duck eggs and four ducklings. For rabbits, they will pay ten adult rabbits in one year. Overtime can be doubled."
Everyone looked at each other. There is nothing wrong with this method. After all, they all know how well chickens and rabbits can live, but only if these poultry can grow up healthily.
So someone asked, "what if half of them die?"
Xu Qing said: "you don't have to pay if you die in an accident. For example, if five chickens die in an accident, you will pay less for two eggs and two chickens. The patriarch will testify here. I believe everyone will keep his promise."
Xu Qing's words are completely reasonable, everyone nodded, there is nothing dissatisfied.
Xu Qing looked at Yu Xiaoqian: "Qianqian, you help me keep accounts. As a reward, five rabbits will be given to you."
Yu Xiaoqian nodded happily: "good!"
Everyone envied to see Yu Xiaoqian one eye, but the other people have the ability, envy also have no way.
Xu Qing looked at the patriarch: "patriarch, Li Jing, you help me manage and supervise everyone's breeding. Chickens, ducks and rabbits won't accept you."
The patriarch and Li Jing nodded and said, "OK, no problem."
These poultry are not so much sold by Xu Qing as they are raised by others. She only receives a small return.
So we happily divided the chickens, ducks and rabbits. These cubs are more than a month old, and they can be fed every day. There is basically nothing to worry about.
