Chapter 23 Selling Chickens
"Really, how many are there in your family now?"

"I estimate there are about a hundred or so of them."

"Yeah, where did your family buy so many chicks?"

"I'm not sure about this. It's my boss who pulls the goods every time."

"Then I want five, and I'll go to your house to have a look later, and I'll take it at your house if it suits me."

"Leave ten of them for me, and I'll go to your house to see them later."

"And me, I want four."

Mrs. Lian didn't expect the business to be so good. It was different from what she thought.

Most people who want to buy chicks in the village go to people who raise hens and ask them to help raise a nest.There are also those who are lucky enough to take out the chicks and buy them from others. There are really not many families like the Su family who can get hundreds of chicks at once.

The women grabbed their hands and washed the clothes before going to Su's house, and those who didn't buy them also wanted to join in the fun.

Those who went early, Lian's laundry has not come back yet, but Su Yu was at home, and she didn't feel afraid when seeing someone come to buy chickens, so she took them to the chicken coop in the backyard.

"Auntie, let's see which ones you like."

"Girl of the Su family, where did your family get so many chickens?"

"Auntie, I really don't know about this."

Seeing that he couldn't find anything, Qian didn't ask anymore. I guess Su Yu really didn't know.

"I want eight, you catch me a male and seven females. The one over there, and this one over here, yes, that one."

My family plans to sell chickens. Last night, the chickens were not put into the chicken coop. They were all caught and locked up in cages. There were 25 chickens in one cage, and it was not crowded.

The eight that Qian wanted were kept in a smaller cage. The cage was simple to make. Considering that it would be difficult for those who came to buy chickens, this morning, Mr. Su got up in the dark and made several small cages. There were more than a dozen of them inside, and the father and son went to the mountain to chop firewood after they were done.

"Auntie, take the cage back, you don't need to send it back."

Originally, Mrs. Qian went to wash clothes by the river, but after listening to Mrs. Lian's words, she didn't even wash her clothes. After sending them home, she came to the Su's house to buy chickens. She made the decision, so she didn't hesitate to pick eight extra-large ones, and she earned one for eight cents, but she didn't expect to get a cage for nothing.

"That's so embarrassing, please go to my house, and my aunt will bring you delicious food."

"Thank you auntie."

After sending Mrs. Qian away, Mrs. Lian came back with a basin.

"Fish, who was that just now?"

When Mrs. Lian came home, Mrs. Qian had already walked some distance away. Because of the distance, she couldn't see who it was.

"Mother, it's Aunt Qian. She came to our house to buy eight chicks. The money has already been paid."

"This Qian's moves are fast."

I helped my mother dry the clothes on the clothes drying pole. As soon as they were dried, the woman who had just been doing the laundry came over.

"Girls from the Lian family, we are here. Where are your chickens? Take us to see them quickly."

There were three women who came, and Su Yu didn't know any of them.

"Just put it in the backyard and keep it closed. Take whichever you like."

The three women followed to the backyard, and they were stunned when they saw so many chickens locked up. They didn't expect what Lian said was true, there were really so many chickens in her house.The three people's eyes were also confused, and they felt that this one was better than that one, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

When they heard voices coming from outside, the three of them looked at each other and quickly picked out the chicken they wanted.After a while, there will be too many people coming, maybe the big one will be picked by others, then they can only pick the small one.

The three of them didn't buy much, and each of them bought five. Hearing that the three houses were in the same direction, Su Yu discussed with them and put fifteen in a cage.

"Aunts, there are not many cages at home, see if you can lock them together."

"Okay, I know your family is waiting for a cage."

"Thank you auntie."

Su Yu was busy greeting the three of them, but when Lian heard the movement at the gate of the courtyard, she had already greeted them.When the three of them went out, Lian brought several women over to buy chickens together.Seeing that someone was earlier than them, they were all annoyed. If they had known, they would not have sent the clothes back, and followed Lian to the Su's house, and looked at the chickens in the cages. How's it going?
When everyone arrived in the backyard, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The Su family's chickens were still in good spirits, and their heads were not as big as those of the previous ones.

"Sister Lian, these chickens of yours are not as big as the ones you sold just now. Can you have a little less?"

Mrs. Liu was used to taking advantage, so she thought of this method in a flash.

Before Lian could speak, Su Yu, who was standing by the side, quit.

"Aunt, our chickens are all about the same size. How about I stop the three aunts in front of me and catch one to follow Bibi. They are definitely the same. There are only a few small ones. You can tell at a glance that you don't like it. If you don't choose, that's fine. The price really can't be lower. The aunts know how much a chicken is sold in the town now, and our family can only make some hard-earned money, but there is really no profit."

"Look at the Su family girl's little mouth. I only said one thing, and this little mouth answered me so much."

"My girl is spoiled by me and her father, the price is really not less, eight cents a piece, it's really just hard-earned money."

The chicklings in the town are nine-wen, and they are not as big as the Su family's. These villagers all know about it. Hearing what Mrs. Lian said, Mrs. Liu was speechless, and carefully picked one by one.

In the village, chickens are raised by any family, but there are still certain risks when hens nest. Sometimes the eggs will not come out, and the chicks will die within a few days of birth. Unless someone else’s family has many chicks, which family If I really want to raise a few more chickens, I can only let the hens at home hatch them, but now that they are readily available at a reasonable price, I don’t want to go through all the trouble on my own. It’s not as easy as buying ready-made ones after waiting for months.

More than 40 chickens were picked out in sevens and eights. Up to now, more than 100 of the chickens in the family have been sold, and more than [-] chickens can't be sold for a long time. The mother and daughter are very happy.

"Mother thought she couldn't sell it, but she didn't expect the business to be so good."

"Right now, people from the village are just buying them after receiving the news. When people from other villages come over in the afternoon, our family won't have to worry about selling these dozens of chickens."

"Fish is still smart."

At noon, it turned out to be what Su Yu had expected. Most of the people who came in the morning were villagers from Yujia Village, and those who came at noon were from other villages. Originally, there were not many chickens left in Yujia Village after buying chickens. In less than a day, It was sold out. Those who came late regretted hearing that the chickens were sold out. When Su Yu said that their family would receive a batch in a few months, the villagers made a decision to wait for the chickens to arrive. Come and get it.
