Chapter 24
"Fish, after the next batch hatches, let's sell them all."

Lian thinks this business is good, and it can be a long-term business. If the chickens can be raised for more than ten days, they can be sold for eight cents each, and their family can produce a batch of chickens in a month. This is a profitable business. .

Su Yu shook her head.

"Mother, wait for the next batch of chickens to come out, and after the ordered ones are finished, I guess they won't be able to sell them nearby, and our family can't often sell chicks. After selling them for a long time, there must be people who are very curious. If someone checks, it is guaranteed to find the head of the hatching egg, but our family has not been checked.

Lian looked around to make sure there was no one there.

"Yu'er is right, it's my mother's bad intentions, our family will not sell chickens in the future, and we will sell eggs when the chickens are raised."

What Su Yu likes about Su Laoer and his wife is that they don't insist on things that are not their own. This is why she quickly integrated into the family after she came here.

When it was getting dark, the Su family's father and son came back, carrying two large bundles of firewood each.Su Yu tried to persuade her several times, but seeing that the father and son were still the same, she didn't try to persuade them any more. She had her own ideas, and she couldn't impose her own ideas on them.

"Dad, all our chickens are sold out."

"So fast! How much did you sell for?"

"A total of 390 cash was sold. It could have been sold for [-] cash. It's just that the remaining ten chickens are a bit small. I make the decision, and each one was sold for a penny less."

"Sold so much!"

Su Laoer really didn't expect that this batch of chickens sold for more than one or two taels of silver. The one or two taels of silver invested earlier was almost returned to the capital. Now that the family is a little more prosperous, I am really relieved.

"Dad, I plan to buy some more eggs and hatch a batch of chicks. Then our family won't need to sell them and raise them ourselves, and we won't need too many. Just a hundred or so will be enough.

"Okay, listen to my daughter."

Ever since his daughter proposed to leave Wangjiacun, the second son of Su found that his daughter had changed, and she had become particularly determined, and she was right. He was not worried at all now, and directly handed over the matter to Su Yu.

"You and your mother can do these jobs at home, and our family has about the same amount of firewood. Tomorrow, your elder brother and I plan to go to the town to find some jobs.

It was already decided that the father and son would go to work in the town, and the mother and daughter were not surprised at all.

Su Yu had some ideas in her mind, and planned to send Su Sheng to study, not to study well, but at least to be able to read and recognize all the characters.Although she is literate, she does not know the characters here. They are similar to but different from modern traditional Chinese characters. It is very inconvenient to guess everything.

Having said that, the matter of her literacy can't be put on the bright side. If I send my eldest brother to study, I will learn a little bit later, and no one will be surprised that she can read in the future.

It's just that there is only one or two taels of silver in the house now. She has inquired that the Yu clan in the village will have to pay two taels as soon as they enter the school. It is better to wait until the family's batch of ducks are sold.

Since then, the Su family father and son have gone to work in the town. Although Su Sheng worked as a clerk in a grocery store before, there are only so many shops in this town, and the clerks are all radish and pit, and it is difficult to find them all at once. Can't find any good jobs.The father and son had to go to the wharf to do coolies, and because Su Sheng was too young to carry heavy things, he earned three to five coppers a day to eat and drink for himself. Only the second Su was quite satisfied, boy, I always have to practice slowly, how can I be idle at home every day.

Within a few days, Su Yu bought a batch of eggs and started hatching chicks. He only occasionally showed his face in the village, but there were no rumors that Su Yu was sick. Su Yu was very satisfied with this.

………………

It has been four months since the Su family moved to Yujia Village, and the first batch of ducks raised were ready to be slaughtered. During this period, the Su family not only raised more than 100 chickens, but also raised more than 100 ducks. They wanted to buy more There is no such thing in the Zhuangzi. There are more than 20 ducks, and they can lay a hundred eggs in two months, which is already considered too much.

It was still dark early this morning, so Lian made breakfast for the family. After eating breakfast and packing up, Su Yu followed him to the town, while Lian took care of the chickens and ducks at home.

It was the first time for Su Yu to go to the town since she came to Yujia Village, and she didn't want to go before, but she couldn't get rid of her habit of wanting to buy and buy as soon as she went to the street. In her own hands, the money at home is only a little, and she can't stand it, so she simply stays at home obediently.

At the entrance of the village, old man Yu's ox cart was already waiting, and there were two women from the village sitting on it, but Su Yu didn't know her. It can be said that she didn't know most of the villagers in Yujia Village.

"Girl, you go to ride an ox cart. Your brother and I are used to it. It doesn't matter if you walk."

Su Laoer felt sorry for his daughter, and he had to walk five miles to the town. He was used to walking with his son, and he was afraid that his daughter would be tired.

Su Sheng cursed in his heart. When he left Wangjia Village, he had to walk dozens of miles a day. It was only a few months later, and it was only five miles to the town. Seeing how much he loves his father, he walks every day without seeing him. His father loves him.

"It's okay, dad, I'm not tired, let's go now before the sun comes out.

"Okay, if you are tired, just tell dad and he will carry you for a while."

"Father, I'm already this old, so I don't need you to memorize it. I'm not afraid of making people laugh."

She is almost 11 years old now, which is indeed not young in ancient times, not to mention that Xinzi is in her 20s and is about the same age as Su Lao Er, how dare Su Lao Er carry her on her back.

Second Su scratched his head, forgetting for a moment that his daughter had grown up.

Walking and resting along the way, it was just dawn when we reached the town, and there were no pedestrians on the street, most of them were villagers carrying baskets and carts, and they were all selling things in the town from nearby villages.

The purpose of coming to town today is to sell those ducks in the family. The three of them are wearing the best clothes in the house, and it is best that they are not patched in conspicuous places.

Although I know that some people will look down on others, it’s because the family has no money, so they can only make do with it. When they have money in the future, what do they want to buy?

"Daughter, I asked earlier that there are two restaurants in our town. One is Fushun Restaurant on East Street. The owner is a local from the town. Fushun Restaurant has been in the town for decades. It is an ancestral inheritance of the family. For business, there is another restaurant in the west, Taihe Building, which has been open in the town for more than ten years. I heard that restaurants have opened in Xingyang Mansion and several surrounding cities, and the business is very big. Which one should we go to? "

"Let's go to Taihe Building. We have more than 300 ducks at home, and I'm afraid Fushun Building won't be able to use so many."

Su Yu wants to expand his business in the future, and he thinks in the long run.

Taihe Building is a single-family two-storey building, divided into upper and lower floors. Small buildings like this are rare in the town.

"Several guests, please come in."
