On the way to escape from famine, I amaze the world with my medical practice

Ye Hongchang went out twice, but still didn't get any news about Ye Hongshun and others.

Others in the village knew it, and so did Zhou.

She hugged Xingjia and cried in the room for a long time, and then she cheered up again.

If Hongshun is really dead, then she must take good care of her child. This is Hongshun's only child and she must grow up safely.

In early July, Ye Hongchang went to the border again, heading west, but he did not arrive successfully. He heard that there was a war at the border, and it seemed that the Shu Kingdom took the opportunity to disrupt the Dayan border defense.

He didn't get any news, so he came back soon.

Mrs. Wang said, "You just happened to be back. I see that the ducks in the duck house have almost grown. The big ones can weigh five kilograms. They won't grow any longer if they are fed. It's time to sell a batch."

I brought back new ducklings last month. Recently, the whole family has been going into the mountains to cut grass and feed the ducks, which has also cost a lot of food. It is not cost-effective to continue like this.

Ye Hongchang nodded, "I was just thinking about this, so I came back as soon as possible. I had inquired about the prices in the town and county before, and I had already agreed with the shopkeeper in the county. I would come and see him in the future. If it is suitable, he would charge it. Walk."

Mrs. Wang was happy, "Okay, you've made the arrangements before I even told you. Fortunately, I've been restless these past two days."

Ye Hongchang smiled and said, "Mom, you can rest assured. I will take care of things at home. As long as you stay at home, our Ye family will have a backbone and things will not be chaotic."

On the sixth day of July, shopkeeper Wang from the county town came to see the ducks.

He is a poultry seller, including chickens and ducks. After visiting the duck house, shopkeeper Wang was very satisfied.

I usually go to the countryside to collect chickens and ducks, but they always keep them in duck pens, which are dirty and smelly, and the ducks don't grow very big.

The Ye family's ducks are different. They are raised near the water. They eat fish and insects and grow up. They are very fat. They swim in the water all day long and are clean.

He was very satisfied when he saw it and couldn't help but nodded. When Ye Hongchang saw this, he knew better.

When he goes out, he doesn't just look for people, he also has to work for his family's livelihood, so he knows what the market is now, and it's impossible for Shopkeeper Wang to fool him.

Yongxing Mansion faces water in the east, and there are many people raising ducks there. The ducks they raise will be sold to various places, and Wushan County will also buy them.

However, there was a disease this year, which caused many ducks in Yongxing Mansion to die, and the price has gone up recently.

When Ye Hongchang went to see Shopkeeper Wang, he talked to him about what he had seen outside. Shopkeeper Wang knew what he was doing and there was no need to do anything dishonorable at this time.

Back at Ye's house, I sat down and took a sip of tea. Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said, "This tea is pretty good, I don't know what kind of tea it is."

Ye Hongchang said, "My daughter often goes to the mountains to collect herbs. Occasionally she comes across camellia and brings it back. This is the camellia that I roasted myself. If shopkeeper Wang likes it, I will pack some for you to take away later."

Shopkeeper Wang really wanted it and said with a smile, "Then I'm welcome."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she asked Mrs. Liu to pack some.

After chatting for a while, Shopkeeper Wang started to talk about the price, "The ducks you raise are really good. It's a good idea to build a duck house near the water. In the past, ducks like this could only be bought in Fucheng. The location of Xiema Village is suitable." ."

He smiled and said, "Brother Ye is also a person who has traveled all over the world and seen the world. I won't talk in circles with you. I buy live ducks for eight cents per pound. I supply restaurants in the county and various towns. This is not what I do. It’s a one-time sale, and I can still come and collect the ducks you raise later.”

The price was very fair. What Ye Hongchang was thinking about was eight cents. He thought shopkeeper Wang would offer seven cents, but he didn't know that he gave the price directly.

Ye Hongchang said, "Shopkeeper Wang is very happy. We are all satisfied with the price. I just have one condition for selling the duck to you." "Tell me about it." As long as the price is not raised, that's fine.

Ye Hongchang said with a smile, "Please ask shopkeeper Wang to take the trouble to collect the duck feathers for us. I will buy them back for two cents a pound when the time comes."

If he had to rely on him to buy it, he would have to go to many places to buy so much, which would be convenient for Shopkeeper Wang, who was originally doing this business.

Duck feathers also have some uses, of course shopkeeper Wang knows that, but he didn't expect that such a banker would be thinking of other things, and he was quite quick-thinking.

This is not difficult for him, and the price is not bad. Shopkeeper Wang smiled and agreed, "Okay, then it's settled."

The two parties signed a contract, and on the same day shopkeeper Wang called someone to buy more than 400 ducks from the Ye family. The remaining dozens were a little small and could be raised.

Eight cents a pound, after being weighed, I gave eighteen taels.

This is the first time we sell ducks since the duck house was built, and the profit is quite considerable.

The ducks brought back in March were raised for more than three months and earned 18 taels. Previously, duck eggs were sold for 123 taels.

In addition to the capital, these more than 400 ducks made nearly 20 taels.

This benefit is considerable, and you can hatch your own eggs later, and the cost will go down again.

However, the capital has not been repaid yet. Ye Xiangxiang calculated that when this batch is raised again, the capital will be returned and there will be some profit.

The duck house is very big. I raised 500 ducks before and there was still a surplus. This time there are 800 ducks. Ducks grow very fast in summer and can be sold quickly.

After that, the Ye family will try to hatch eggs to control costs.

The Ye family's duck house made money, and other families in the village were interested in giving it a try.

Ye Hongchang made it clear to everyone that by expanding the open space by the river, more could be raised next year. Each family could get money to join the family, and after making money, they would share the accounts.

There was a lot of rain in July and August, and mushrooms and fungus grew wildly in the mountains. Ye Xiangxiang was full of harvests when he returned to the mountains. He harvested a lot of medicinal herbs and mountain products.

At the end of July, Ye Hongchang was going out again, this time to the county town to pick up Ye Liwen. He would have a holiday at the end of the month and he could go home for two days.

"Dad, let me take all my medicinal materials to the county town tomorrow and sell them. There are many medicinal materials that are not used on a daily basis. They will easily grow mold if kept by yourself, so it is better to sell them."

Ye Xiangxiang has become the doctor of Xiema Village. Ye Hongfu made a medicine cabinet for her in his spare time and placed it in the empty room in the west wing. It became Ye Xiangxiang's pharmacy.

Ye Hongchang doesn't know much about medicinal materials and is afraid that he will be cheated. "Well, tomorrow you go to the county town with me. Let's go around more and see which shop has reasonable prices."

"Okay." Ye Xiangxiang hasn't been out for a long time, so it would be nice to go out for a walk.

She cleaned up all the medicinal materials that she had dried in the evening, and kept only those that she could use. Some medicinal materials that were rarely used, and the remaining medicinal materials, were wrapped in paper and prepared to be taken to the county for questioning. price.

There were some wild ginseng in the mountains, and she dug up a lot of them, but they didn't grow very big. They were very effective, but they didn't look good.

Ye Xiangxiang also wrapped them up and sold them all, just keep some for himself for emergencies.
