My village can't be like this

Chapter 15 Picking up Duck Eggs by the River

When Zhang An was wandering by the river, he walked to the edge of a field of reeds and sat up.

I took a few crispy and tender reed cores and put them in my mouth. It was not bad, sweet and sweet.

There are a few wild ducks floating on the river not far away, looking for food in the water.

Suddenly hearing a sound in the reed beside him, Zhang An thought it was a big fish stranded.

I got up and looked for it, and it turned out that a few wild ducks came out of the reeds.

Did it just lay eggs?
Wild ducks will build nests in the reed grass by the river, and then lay eggs in them.

Every time many people see wild ducks coming out of the river, they will go inside to look for them.

Zhang An had found it several times when he came to swim.

Although he went home with eggs, Wang Fang also ate a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.

Because Wang Fang had never allowed Zhang An to go to the river to play in the water, but this matter could not be stopped, and a few friends of the same age went there as soon as they shouted.

Zhang An lowered his head and searched in the reed grass for a long time but couldn't find it, thinking that there was no time to give up.

Looking forward, the water in front is already a bit deep, and these ducks actually built their nests so far away.

No wonder, this piece of reed grass is too big.

Zhang An scooped up his trousers on his lap, walked over and started looking for them.

This search found three or four nests, and each of them contained duck eggs.

I reached out and touched it, and it was still warm. These ducks must have been squatting and laying eggs in it just now.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the nest to still be hot.

Fortunately, no one came to dig out this area, and Zhang An took out forty or fifty duck eggs from the four nests.

But Zhang An didn't kill them all, and kept several eggs in each nest.

Because once the duck eggs in the nest are picked, the ducks will not continue to lay eggs in this nest when they come back to the nest without eggs, but build their nests in another place.

But as long as a few are left in there, those ducks will continue to lay eggs here.

The small backpack that Zhang An brought out today was not very big, and it was almost full with forty or fifty duck eggs in it. ,

In line with the principle of not revealing the wealth, Zhang An still covered it with a layer of grass.

I was lucky today, I came to play the net, but I picked up a bunch of duck eggs.

Today's eggs can basically be sold for four to fifty cents each, and duck eggs are even more expensive, generally seven or eight cents, and larger ones can be sold for one piece, which is the same price as goose eggs.

In fact, there is not much difference from the later generations, but this is because the current output is small, and the output of artificial farms in later generations is large, so the egg food is completely the reason for the increase.

Of course, the price of native eggs and duck eggs in later generations is high.

When I got home, my mother was still cleaning the soles of the shoes.

"Mom, let me show you something good." Zhang An chuckled.

"What a good thing, the fish is caught again?" Wang Fang responded to Zhang An while threading the needle back and forth on the sole of the shoe.

Zhang An hugged the grass on the side of the basket, revealing a basket of green duck eggs in Wang Fang's eyes.

"You bought this? No, this egg is a teal egg." Looking at my mother, I looked at myself.

"Yes, at the Shuiyan Pond, I went there to cast the net, and found several teal ducks crawling out of the reeds. When I went in to search, I found several nests."

"They're all teal ducks? Don't let the ducks from someone in the village lay them in the past, they will make you angry."

Wang Fang was still a little worried.

"No, Mom, there is no one in the village who raises this thing. The teal ducks don't have a home. If they are raised, they can't go out and can't go home. Who will raise them, and I read it right. There are seven or eight in that group. Woolen cloth."

"That's good, did you leave eggs in the nest?"

"I've kept it, three or four in each nest."

Mom looked at the basket of duck eggs and was obviously very happy.

Of course, this basket of eggs is sold for dozens of dollars, can you be unhappy?

This teal is actually delicious in meat, and has a high egg production rate and large eggs, but it is very delicate and difficult to catch.

You can't catch this thing in the water unless you use a trap.

Some people in the village raised them before, but they were fine when they were still young, and they would go home.

But when they grow up, they will not come back when they are released, or they can only be raised in confinement, but they grow slowly in confinement and the eggs are not big, so they have to be taken care of frequently.

So in the end, no one was willing to raise this thing, and basically sold it or made it into the pot when it was hit.

But Zhang An felt in his heart that he had space, and he could try to get these ducks back and raise them.

The big deal is to stay in the space for a few more days.

When I went to collect the net at night, I found that there was nothing on the net, but it did not affect Zhang An.

Because there are fish or there are no fish, there must be fish here in Zhang An.

After all, the net is just an excuse to bring out the fish in the space.

Even though it was getting dark, it was still visible.

The group of ducks on the river not far away was still on the river, so Zhang An did what he said.

Spatial spring water has an invisible attraction to animals, judging from the behavior of the three tigers and two pigs at home.

So Zhang An put some spring water into the water on the bank of the river, and floated along the river to the center of the river.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the ducks began to notice something strange in the water.

Then he slowly swam towards Zhang An.

If there is an animal beside Zhang An, you can see Zhang An's body, and he is glowing.

Just when Zhang An was happy, a trace of coldness ran across his palm in the water, as if he had been licked by something.

Looking down, what the hell, a big water snake was attracted by him.

No matter how Zhang An tried to chase the snake away, he couldn't drive the snake away. He had to put it in the space first, because he was afraid of scaring the ducks that were about to come.

After the ducks swam over, Zhang An quickly caught all seven ducks and put them all into the space.

Afterwards, they found the water snake and let it out again. Zhang An didn't like this guy very much, so he didn't want to keep it.

After a few ducks came in, Zhang An could tell that they were very happy.

Why, this group of losers are actually eating fish in the pond.

What's more, they ate fine scale fish, not grass carp.

It's all money, Zhang An's heart is bleeding.

It would be great if these ducks could stop eating fish and eat the grass next to them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came up, the duck stopped eating the fish in the pond, ran towards the grass, and started to eat grass.

Fuck, I can control it casually in space?
So the idea arises, I want to pick a peach.

So a peach fell off the branch and floated into his hand.

Zhang An was very surprised by this discovery, which can save Zhang An a lot of work, such as digging the fish pond by himself before.

Although there is spring water to relieve fatigue, it is really tiring to be tired.

After the ducks were full, they squatted in the grass to sleep. Zhang An was very envious.

I got some fish fry in the space, Zhang An originally wanted to pick some grass carp and thin scale fish fry to bring back.

But now there is no need to be so troublesome, Zhang An can bring up any fish he wants.

Although leptospirosis can only grow up in a turbulent environment, with space at hand and spring water that has a magical effect on animals, there is no need to worry about their growth.

It's just that you can't raise too many, just a little bit, too many will easily attract the attention of others.

Put the fresh fish fry in a small basin, and Zhang An went back home.

When you arrive in the yard, put the fry directly into the pool.

The fish fry, which were flustered at first, settled down after Zhang An put some spring water into the pond, and Zhang An even got some water plants from the space into it while it was dark.

After a glance, he was more satisfied and went into the house.

As soon as they got up the steps, the three tigers surrounded Zhang An, ready to play with him.

These three puppies grow so fast, they look different every day.

Although the physique hasn't changed much now, it has become a bit aggressive, making Zhang An feel more and more that the male dog bred at that time must be unusual.

I don't know why it is matched with a big gray dog.
