Siheyuan starts with killing pigs

Chapter 209 Goose Egg Beauty
Of course, the chickens and ducks in these markets are generally chickens and ducks that no longer lay eggs, and they are basically all female. There are not many but very few males.

"Grandma! Do you want a fish?" Wang Hu walked up to a kind-hearted old woman and asked in a low voice, showing the scales in his hand.

This old woman's clothes were very clean and tidy, with not even a patch on her body. She was always polite to the farmers selling things, whether she spoke or asked for prices.

So when Wang Hu saw her leaving with an aunt who was selling chickens because they couldn't agree on the price, he immediately approached her and asked with a smile.

"What kind of fish is it? Can you let me see it? How much does it cost per pound?" After hearing Wang Hu's words, the old lady was not surprised at all. She had bought countless vegetables in this market, and she was so nervous. asked slowly.

"Grandma, look, there are carp, grass carp, and silver carp! Three cents a pound, no bargaining! I caught this fresh in the morning? Look, the body of this fish is still moving!"

Wang Hu took the old lady to a sheltered place. He quietly opened the bundle of grass on his back and exposed the fish. Then he pointed at the fish whose body was still shaking occasionally and said to the old lady.

"Young man, your fish is really quite big! The fish looks really fresh. Can it be cheaper? If it's cheaper, I'll buy one!" The old lady said with eyes brightening after seeing Wang Hu's fish.

"Grandma can't get any cheaper! I didn't catch this fish by myself. We agreed on the price before we came here. If I give you a cheaper price, I will pay you back later!" Wang Hu laughed bitterly after hearing this and shook his head quickly. said.

"That's right! Sanmao is Sanmao, please bring me a fish, just take this one!" The old lady saw Wang Hu's firm tone. Seeing such a big and fresh fish, she was reluctant to leave, and finally agreed. He came down and pointed at a big carp and said.

"Okay, grandma, here you go! This fish weighs six pounds and one tael, so if you give it six pounds, you can give me 1.8 yuan!" Wang Hu felt happy after hearing this, and took the fish out and carried it in his hand. He picked it up and handed it to the old lady with a smile.

"Young man, you didn't bring a scale?" The old lady frowned and asked when she saw that Wang Hu didn't bring a scale.

"Grandma, I'm a very accurate person. I know how much something weighs just by mentioning it, so I didn't even think of bringing a scale! If you're worried, I won't give you the change. I'll take you to borrow a scale next door and weigh it for you. What do you think?" Wang Hu immediately understood the other party's worries and said with a smile.

"Okay! Let's go weigh it! If the weight is really the same as you said, I won't let you give up any change!" After hearing this, the old lady immediately smiled with satisfaction and said.

"Sister, can you lend me your scale? If you don't use it in vain, I'll give you a penny later!" Wang Hu walked to a nearby stall selling goose eggs and said to the woman selling goose eggs.

"Use it as you like! How much does it cost to just borrow it?" After listening to Wang Hu's words, the other party handed the scale over, stood up with a smile and said to Wang Hu.

After Wang Hu waited for the other party to stand up, his eyes lit up. He saw that this woman looked familiar. After Wang Hu looked carefully, he found that it was Zhao Sufen, who was known as the Goose Egg Beauty from the second team upstream of Fengjiazhuang.

Zhao Sufen is very good at raising geese. She doesn’t know what she feeds the geese. Other people’s geese lay one goose egg in two days, but the geese raised by Zhao Sufen almost lay one goose egg in one day, or two in three days.

Although Zhao Sufen is a widow, she raises three geese every year and earns more money from selling goose eggs than a strong laborer earns in a year's work, which makes her famous.

Of course, Goose Dan Xishi is famous not only because of her ability to raise geese, but also because of her fair skin and beauty.

I don’t know what she eats on weekdays, her skin is as white as a swan, and she carries a heavy burden. After her husband passed away, many people tried to take advantage of her, but they were all given up by her three big and round brothers. Packed up.And her parents-in-law saw that their son had drowned in the river less than a month after marrying her, and she was also famous for her skill in raising geese. They thought she knew magic, so they gave her son to her. The ability to raise geese was acquired from a water ghost in the river.

Therefore, rumors were spread everywhere and she was kicked out. Zhao Sufen had no choice but to return to her parents' home. However, when she got married, her name had already been removed from the production team of the second team.

After she returned, she wanted to add her name, but someone in the village objected. They were afraid that if she returned, the others would receive less food, so her name was not added.

She originally belonged to the production team of her husband's family, but she was kicked out by her parents-in-law and was too embarrassed to go back to work, so Goose Dan Xishi could only make a living by selling goose eggs for money.

As for food, the food she eats comes from her mother's family. As long as she pays for it, even her sister-in-law and sister-in-law won't say anything. After all, she is not short of money and is generous, so her life is pretty good.

"Then thank you, eldest sister!" Wang Hu took the scale and said gratefully.

"Look, grandma, let me weigh it again. Do you think the weight is correct?" Wang Hu hung the fish on the scale hook, then lifted the scale, moved the weight, and when the scale was raised high, handed the scale rod to the He walked over and said.

"Yeah! Young man, you still have a lot of time! You are really accurate with your skills. One tael for six pounds is still high!" After seeing the number on the scale, the old lady immediately said with a smile.

Then the old lady handed over 1.83 yuan, and Wang Hu also put the fish in her vegetable basket, and then the old lady left with satisfaction.

"Sister, your scale! Thank you just now!" Wang Hu wiped the scale hook with grass and returned the scale to Zhao Sufen.

"Little brother, which village are you from? Why haven't I seen you before? This fish was also caught in Beihe! You can catch so many big fish, it seems that your skills are good!" Zhao Sufen took the king Hu said curiously after passing the scale.

In fact, she only earns a little hard-earned money by selling goose eggs, while Wang Hu's fishing business is a business without capital. Wang Hu only earned 1.83 yuan by selling one fish, and one of her goose eggs only cost one or two cents.

This fish is almost as much as the money she paid for selling 10 goose eggs, and the haystack behind Wang Hu is not small, and there are probably more hidden in it.

If there were a few more fish in it, Wang Hu's income this time would be equal to the goose eggs she harvested from selling them for half a month, so she was full of envy in her words.

"Sister, my skills are only average, and my income is uncertain. Sometimes I can't catch a fish in a day. How can you make a stable income from selling goose eggs?" Wang Hu said with a smile after hearing this.

"My goose doesn't lay eggs every day! There are only three geese at home, and one of them can only lay dozens of eggs a year. When they stop laying eggs, I will have to rest on my laurels! It's not as good as you think!" "After hearing Wang Hu's words, Zhao Sufen couldn't help but smile and shook her head.

"This goose can only lay dozens of eggs a year? Sister, this is the first time I know this, but it's not just because they are so big!" Wang Hu said with a smile and patted his head after hearing this.

"It depends on what you said! According to what you said, some people only have one or two children in their lifetime, so have they lost such a big body in vain?" Zhao Sufen said with a trembling smile after hearing this.
