Qiao Lan looked at Duan Mingjing and felt that Duan Mingjing didn't look like he was selling chickens.
It's more like an old hen who can't let go, looking for the last time to take a look at the return of her own eggs.
Extraordinary "kindness"!
"Okay, you go! Let your third brother and Xiao Sun go with you! Tongzhou is a long way, and there are many people on the way, so please take care of them," Qiao Lan said.
Hearing Duan Mingqing's name again, Duan Mingjing felt a little panicked and said, "Mom, what should I do with the money from the sale?"
Qiao Lan: "What can I do? Take it home? Otherwise, what do you want to do?"
Listening to Qiao Lan's reply, Duan Mingjing was a little worried. That's not what he wanted to know!
Duan Mingjing: "Mom, you said that if you sell these chickens and eggs, I will get half of it. That part... do you want third brother and grandson to get a share too?"
Qiao Lan suddenly realized.
She said so!
Why is this cheap second son so sensible today? It turned out to be a matter of sharing.
She and Duan Mingjing proposed a share, originally intending to give the money to him as a reward for his honest chicken raising. Duan Mingjing raised most of the chickens, and the share was only given to him.
However, Duan Mingjing deliberately said that she would not favor one thing over another.
Qiao Lan: "You reminded me, then when they get home, give them some too!"
Duan Mingjing's eyes widened immediately, and the expression on his face could not tell whether he was sad or happy. He imitated Duan Yutao's usual expression, and he moved his lips as if he was going to pout in aggrievedness, but he immediately put it back.
"My son knows." This voice was full of sadness.
Qiao Lan smiled and praised: "You are so determined to be the second brother!"
Duan Mingjing:......
Woohoo, he has no heart! His heart aches, his heart has been cut away!
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have said anything about it! What a shameless mouth!
There are many pullets raised in the back mountain. It is foreseeable that there will be more and more eggs in the future. The Duan family will not be able to consume them all, so they will naturally have to sell them elsewhere.
Duan Mingqing has been to Tongzhou many times, and Qiao Lan couldn't be more relieved that he would take Duan Mingjing on the road.
When he came back, Duan Mingjing came back with an order for hundreds of pounds of eggs and seventy or eighty roosters every month. He didn't have to deliver them, because someone would come to pick them up every four or five days.
The price of eggs in Tongzhou is more expensive than that in Lantian County, reaching thirty-five pounds per pound. Qiao Lan still divided the money with Duan Mingjing as originally agreed.
Of course, it is the silver that has been paid, and the unsold ones will be sold later.
Duan Mingqing and Sun Ping also had it, but not as much as Duan Mingjing. However, Qiao Lan did not reveal the exact amount of money to Duan Mingjing.
Duan Mingqing refused the share offered by Qiao Lan, "Mom, please keep this money in the palace, you don't need to give it to your son."
Qiao Lan nodded, "Okay, you're interested."
This is the first amount of money that has been withdrawn. The Duan family has been spending money for most of the year. It has been flowing out and there should be some inflow.
There were more than a hundred little roosters in large numbers, and they couldn't sell them for a while, so Qiao Lan asked her family to catch a few for cooking.
There are no potatoes or chili in Beijing, let alone spicy chicken or roasted chicken with potatoes.
Qiao Lan always felt that the chicken soup was missing a bit of flavor, so she continued to make roasted chicken and pan-fried chicken nuggets. There were many members of the Duan family, and there was not much meat left in the little rooster when one chopstick was eaten by each person. Qiao Lan asked her daughter-in-law to prepare six or seven chickens for the family.
His children and grandchildren were full.
Even during the last Chinese New Year, I never had such fun eating meat!
The children were all very happy!
Duan Mingjing was the only one who was eating the chicken in the bowl, feeling both happy and a little heartbroken, with a tangled look on his face.

In addition to raising chickens, the Duan family plans to raise a lot of things. Ducks and geese are a trivial matter, and cattle are a top priority.
Qiao Lan has never said this because she is afraid that after she does, the system will suddenly pop up a task for her to do. There are a lot of things at home that have not been dealt with. She has to take classes on strengthening the country and farm and raise chickens.
Now that everything at home is almost done, the second period of strengthening the country will last until the end of the year. Qiao Lan has more time, so she naturally has time to prepare for other things and do other tasks.
Qiao Lan opened the "Modern Characteristics Animal Husbandry Guide" that she drew in the first lottery and looked at it carefully.
Deer, musk deer, fox, mink, never seen.
There are no cattle, sheep, or pigs at home.
Although there are horses, in Qiao Lan's view, it is unrealistic for Duanjia Village to breed large numbers of horses.
The most common thing in the village is pigs, but there are only seven or eight households. There are no piglets in these seven or eight households. The piglets have to be ordered by a craftsman who specializes in selling pigs. After the sow gives birth, they will be delivered to the order in order.
of people.
Qiao Lan thought for a while. If you want to raise pigs, you need to build a shed specifically for the pigs to live in. Even if the pigs are killed at the end of the year, the pork will be enough to eat, but because there is no refrigerator and the weather is not cold enough, it is not easy to preserve. Most of it will be made into bacon or sold directly.
go out.
Besides, the pig food had to be cooked every time, which was troublesome, so I gave up the idea.
There is a stream in the backyard of my house. It would be good to raise some ducks and geese. Pigs are hard to get, but ducklings and geese are easy to find.
I don’t know if it’s because Qiao Lan has already raised chickens, but this time the system did not prompt the task of raising ducks and geese.
Qiao Lan fed all the ducklings and geese she bought home with the remaining vaccine pellets and gave them to Duan Mingjing to raise.
Chickens and ducks are a small matter, but cows are the big deal.
The Duan family has a lot of land, and although manpower can cultivate it, it is still not as fast as livestock.
Qiao Lan was thinking about buying two cows. Just as the Duan family said they wanted to buy them, someone revealed that they wanted to sell the cows.
However, this cow is a calf that is three months old. Not only is it unable to plow the land at this age, it also needs to be fed for several months without food.
Buying cattle is not an easy task, and the calves may be gone in a few days. Qiao Lan was not in a hurry to let the cattle plow the land, so she asked Duan Mingchen to go to the Yamen to transfer the ownership of the cattle, take the calves home, and follow the horse
The son is raised in a shed.
But the calves were too small after all, and they had to buy several adult cattle to farm the land, so the Duan family continued to ask people to buy cattle.
Within a few days, news came that a family planned to sell their cattle.
The middleman was a man named Qian from another village, named Qian Dafa.
When Qian Dafa got the news, he immediately came to the Duan family to report the news, and said by the way, "This cattle seller is from Duanjia Village. What a coincidence!"
Oh, there are still people in the village who sell cattle? There are only two possibilities for people in the countryside to sell cattle. One is that the family is ruined and too poor, and the other is that the family is too rich and wants to move to the city, so the cattle are no longer needed.
.
Qiao Lan was a little curious, "Which family is it?"
"It seems to be a man named Du! He said that the family was short of money to educate his grandson, so he sold the cow." Qian Dafa said.
In the entire Duanjia Village, he only knew the Duan family, and did not know the other families, let alone the relationship between the Duan family and the Du family.
When they heard that this man's surname was Du, several people in the Duan Family Courtyard looked a little subtle.
Qiao Lan: "Have you found out clearly? His surname is Du, he lives in Duanjia Village, and he sells cattle?"
Qian Dafa patted his chest and promised: "I will definitely find out clearly! I asked the old lady several times before coming over to report the news, for fear of getting the news wrong."
"At that time, I was still thinking that there was such a coincidence. Why, Madam, your family wanted to buy cows, and people in your village wanted to sell cows. I asked someone specifically to ask several times."
