Pastoral little master

Chapter 360
Patriarch Tan quickly summoned the villagers to his yard.

Qiduo talked about buying seedlings to raise chickens and ducks, and explained the details clearly.

Tanjiazhuang is not only backed by mountains, but also faces the Shixi River. Whether it is raising chickens or ducks, the conditions are excellent.

Without this Shixi River, it would be really difficult to raise ducks on a large scale. Just relying on the pond in the village can't raise a few ducks.

If you raise too many ducks and occupy the pond, it will become a big problem for the villagers to drink water and wash vegetables on weekdays, and the villagers will definitely object.

The Shixi River passes through the village, and the river is very rich in fish and shrimp. Raising ducks is a good choice.

Qiduo deliberately explained the advantages of Shixi River, so that the villagers can think about it when they go back.

After listening to Qiduo's words.

The crowd was a little excited, this is another profitable business.

But because they have to spend money to buy seedlings first, some villagers hesitated.

On weekdays, the chickens and ducks raised in the villagers' homes are all hatched from their own eggs, and the cost is almost free. A cub costs four fen, which is really reluctant.

"Miss Seven, how about doing this? We will incubate the chick by ourselves, and our old hen will be nesting in the past two days. After the chick grows up, we will sell it to you, how about it?" a Penny the woman asked with a smile.

In today's Tanjiazhuang, except for the Tan family and the head of the Tan family, no one calls Qiduo by her name directly, and they all call Qi girl directly, which is very respectful.

As soon as the woman's words came out, several villagers' eyes lit up immediately, thinking that they would bring some eggs over and let the woman's hens help hatch them, which would save nearly a hundred yuan.

Qiduo smiled and replied, "Ma'am, the chickens and ducks we let everyone raise are different from the chickens and ducks we usually raise at home. Otherwise, how could they be sold out of the nest in three months. The little chickens and ducks we let everyone buy back are different. Chicken and ducklings are not only more delicious, but also grow very fast. In this way, we can raise several crops every year."

"It's just that this kind of seedling costs several pennies a piece, it's too expensive." Someone said.

Qiduo still smiled and said, "Is it expensive? Come on, I'll settle the accounts for everyone.

Seedlings cost four cents a piece, and the rice that a chicken needs to eat for three months costs us ten cents at most. This is the sky.Calculated in this way, the cost of a chicken is about fourteen coins.

Under normal circumstances, a chicken can grow to about three catties in three months, and three catties can be sold for 36 renminbi, and we can earn 22 renminbi for one chicken.

If we raise fifty at a time, we can earn one tael in three months, and if we raise a hundred, it will be two taels of silver.After a year, we can raise at least four stubbles. Even if we only raise fifty stubbles each time, we can earn more than four taels of silver. One hundred is more than eight taels, and two hundred is more than 17 taels. The more you earn, the more you earn.

And we are only counting the benefits of raising chickens. If raising ducks is added, it will be double benefits.

Throughout the year, how much money we can earn from farming hard, I believe that all the uncles and aunts are better than me.Moreover, raising chickens and ducks will not delay the work of planting crops, it is simply an extra income.

Of course, when I say this, I don't mean that everyone must buy seedlings and go back to raise them. I just tell you the calculations. You can think carefully before making a decision.If anyone is willing to raise them, we will sign a formal contract at that time, guaranteeing that we will take back the chickens and ducks raised by everyone, so you don't have to worry about the sale. "

After the calculation, everyone's eyes turned red.

Everyone is digging food in the mud. They are busy all year round, and their skins are peeled off. The whole family can earn at most three or four taels of silver. This has to be a good year with good weather to earn this.

But after deducting the expenses of the family and all kinds of taxes, what is really left in the end is even more pitiful.

But now I just raise chickens and ducks at home, and after a year, I will have nearly ten taels of silver in my account.

Almost everyone is tempted, it's a coward if you don't make money.

"Miss Seven, although it is calculated in this way, we all know that if we encounter chicken plague or something, the chickens and ducks will suffer, and if there is one left, the rice we take in will be destroyed. Not to mention, this kind of seedling money is just in vain. It is not easy for us peasants to earn some money, and we have to pick it up little by little." The long-tongued sister-in-law Ge patted her thigh and said.

"That's true. The chicken plague was released the year before last. Of the twenty chickens I raised, there wasn't even a single one left for breeding. Later, my eldest daughter was confinement, so I spent money to buy chickens as a confinement gift. Later, the husband’s family was not happy because there were not enough chickens.” A [-]-year-old woman answered the question immediately, her face full of resentment.

"Yo, that's true. Last time I raised fifteen chickens at my house, and a few of them were snatched away by weasels." You said humanely.

Whether it is raising chickens or ducks, casualties are inevitable.

Ge Shi's words immediately made everyone follow behind, thinking that there was a risk, and everyone's expressions became hesitant for a while.

Hearing Ge's mention of chicken plague, Qiduo suddenly remembered that the chickens and ducks on Luhuapo were in excellent health, especially the one thousand chickens, hardly heard Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Tanghu talking about any casualties. .

A thousand of them were sent over, except for the ones that were eaten, none of them were lost.

It seems that the cubs hatched from eggs catalyzed by supernatural powers are extremely resistant to germs.

Because the ducks were bought directly from the hatchery at first, a few died. Later, because they had been drinking water from the spiritual spring, no ducks were sick and died.

Tang Hu patrolled Luhuapo every day, no matter if it was crops or animals, as long as there was any situation, he would record it for future investigation.

Qiduo has seen Tang Hu's inspection records, and has not seen any records of casualties of chickens and ducks, so she knows that the chickens and ducks are very healthy.

She was secretly happy, the chickens and ducks not only grow fast, but also are not easy to get sick, so there is no need to worry about raising them.

However, there are contingencies in everything, she would not promise that chickens and ducks will not die in front of everyone, that would be asking for trouble.

Tan Dejin and Mr. Tan looked at Ge Shi at the same time, a little disgusted by her talkativeness.

I thought that if it weren't for her words, maybe everyone would have decided to buy seedlings.

Qiduo didn't dislike Ge Shi's words at all, but was a little grateful.

It is better to say something ahead of time than to say something later.

She smiled and said to the hesitant villagers, "Aunt Ge's words are very true. When raising chickens and ducks, it is very likely that some bad things will happen. This is the risk.

It's just that, then again, there are risks in doing anything.

Think back when our family bought the bare Luhuapo, was there any risk?Of course, there are risks, and if it is not done well, it will lose everything.Is there any risk in growing crops like everyone else?There is also a risk. In the event of a severe drought or flood, the crops will be reduced, and sometimes there will be no harvest. Not only will everyone’s months of labor go to waste, but they will also waste money on rice seeds and fertilizers.

Just like we still have risks when we walk, maybe we fall somewhere and twist our feet.

Therefore, no matter what we do, there are risks. If we don’t do it because we are afraid of risks, then we don’t have to grow crops, we don’t have to go out, and we can’t do anything, because everyone There is a risk.

But what if that is the case?
Hey, I'm afraid no one will exist in this world.

Uncles and aunts, go back and think about it carefully. Raising chickens and ducks is indeed risky, but compared with the risks and benefits, it is not too big.If someone is really afraid of losing those dozens of money for seedlings, I sincerely advise him, don't raise them for now, and take action after seeing other people's family making money.

Well, that's all for now, and if I go on, it will be long-winded. "

After hearing what she said, many people nodded and said yes. This is indeed the truth, and everything can be done just in case.

At this time, Tan Dama stood up and said loudly, "Miss Seven, our family is willing to raise them. You will leave one hundred chickens and fifty ducks for our family."

Because of Qiduo's family, Tan Dama has earned some money in the past six months. The family's conditions are getting better and better, and he plans to build a new house next year.

When Patriarch Tan saw that Tan Dama had spoken, he nodded in relief, stood up, and said to the others, "You people, who are afraid of wolves before and tigers later, will never make a lot of money. Seven girls want to take you with me this time. Fa Cai, you guys are fine, if you are still talking nonsense, let me go back and think about it, if you are willing, come to my house and sign a contract with Seventh Girl."

Then he looked at a few more, "Seven girls, count them as one for my family, one hundred chickens and ducks each, just for your grandma and a few aunts to raise at home, and let the two tigers and four eggs put the ducks away." .”

"Well, okay, I'll make a note. I'll go back tonight to prepare the contract, and we'll come over to sign the contract tomorrow." Qi Duo agreed with a smile.

She is very grateful to Tan Dama and Tan Patriarch for their public support.

Everyone dispersed and went back to think about it.

On the second day, Qiduo took the drafted contract to Patriarch Tan's house for him to have a look.

Patriarch Tan carefully read the contract, which clearly stated the responsibilities and obligations of both parties. The Qiduo family is responsible for the sale of high-quality seedlings and the later recycling. If they cannot recycle, it is a breach of contract.

The farmers are responsible for growing the seedlings. After three months, they can only sell them to Qiduo's family and not to others, otherwise they will be in breach of contract.

If both parties breach the contract, they shall bear corresponding responsibilities.

After a few days, another five or six companies came to sign contracts with Qiduo.

Calculated in this way, in the entire Tanjiazhuang, there are only ten families willing to raise chickens and ducks.

Such a ratio is not high, but it is not low either. Anyway, Qiduo is satisfied, and it is enough to have these families to support her.

Next, Tan Dejin and Tan Debao transported the seedlings back, and sent the seedlings to ten families according to the quantity in the contract.

Although the seedlings were distributed to various households, Qiduo was not relieved, and visited these households every now and then, and offered some feasible suggestions, hoping that everyone could raise chickens and ducks better.

And dozens of other families in the village are staring at these ten families, waiting for the results in three months, so that they can make plans for the next step.

The autumn rain was continuous, and it had been raining for several days without stopping. In the evening, it became heavier and heavier, and the sky was completely dark.

The crisp sound of bean-sized raindrops hitting the tiles was inexplicably uncomfortable.

Qiduo was discussing the sauce shop with her parents in the house, when suddenly the gate of the courtyard was slapped.

The knock on the door drowned out the sound of the rain.
