happy daughter-in-law

Chapter 67 Buying Sheep
It was the fifteenth day again, and it was time to go to the market. Shen Yunfang took Da Shuan's daughter-in-law to the market again.

This time she went there with a purpose, she wanted to buy chicken, duck and goose seedlings.

Originally, there were several families in the village that raised ducks and geese, and the family of Jianjun’s sister-in-law she knew had them. She asked Dashuan’s wife to help her find out if her family sold ducks and geese, and if she didn’t sell eggs, she would ask Hatching is also OK.

As a result, the ducks and geese are at a good time to lay eggs, and they are reluctant to sell them. Moreover, the eggs laid in the past have been pickled, and even if they are kept until now, they are not fresh.Spring has just started this year, and two eggs haven't been laid yet, so they can't be sold, mainly because her family has few eggs.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law originally said that she would help her when she returned to her natal home, but Shen Yunfang couldn't wait when she learned that there were chicken and ducklings for sale at the spring market.We have money, so we don't need to bother so much, just buy duck seedlings and goose seedlings.

That's why she urged Dashuan's daughter-in-law to go to the market with her.

After more than an hour of trekking, the two finally arrived at the commune, and they still followed the crowd. Little fluffy, yellow and orange chickens and ducks were chirping in the box.

Shen Yunfang is very good at picking this one, after looking around, she chose one and squatted down, "Why are you selling it?"

"Chicken chicks cost [-] cents, duck chicks cost [-] cents, and goose chicks cost [-] cents," said the old man squatting opposite.

Shen Yunfang nodded, the prices in this market are all about the same.

Then she grabbed the chicks and began to pick them out. To see if the chickens and ducklings are male or female, you can use the anus to identify them. Shen Yunfang looked at the sunlight clearly, and she picked out thirty chickens and ten ducks. Of the ten goose seedlings, two are males, and the rest are females.

In fact, it would be good to keep one male, but she thought that she would not be able to kill one to satisfy her greed after raising it for a year, so she ordered two males.

A total of 12 yuan was spent.

"Yunfang, why are you buying so many geese? It's too much to eat, so it's not worth it." Dashuan's wife saw that she had picked ten geese, and hurriedly pulled her away.

"Well, it's because I ate too much, but I bought so many chickens, and the bigger ones will definitely attract weasels. Raising a few more geese will help me look after the house." Shen Yunfang said.

The big goose is a very powerful creature. It dares to charge forward when it encounters danger. It hurts to wring its big mouth.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law didn't say anything when she heard her say this. It's true that if you raise too many chickens, it will be bad if the weasel cares about it.

Walking to the stall selling piglets, there are the most people here. Shen Yunfang didn't dare to buy piglets because she didn't have so much food at home. After all, raising pigs is different from raising chickens and ducks. Pigs can be eaten more than people.

Going forward, there are five stalls selling lambs. One of them, Shen Yunfang, she still knows, is Liu Accountant and Shen Yougen from Gaijiatun. Shen Yunfang took a closer look at the two lambs they were leading. They are familiar, no Is it the lamb born this year in her flock?

"Hey, accountant Li, you and Uncle Yougen are here to sell lambs." Dashuan's wife also recognized the people from her own village, and opened her mouth to greet.

"Well, Dashuan's daughter-in-law is also coming to the market." Accountant Li greeted with a smile.

"Yeah, how about it? Can someone buy it?" Few families like to raise sheep. The production team raises sheep because the country requires every production team to hand over the task sheep. They have no choice but to raise sheep. Many production teams raise sheep. After raising sheep, there are lambs born every year, and then the lambs cannot be sold, so they can only be raised by themselves, so more and more sheep are raised in the team.

Accountant Li frowned and shook his head. He bought sheep every year, but basically he couldn't sell them.

"Accountant Li, how do you sell this lamb?" Shen Yunfang said suddenly.

Accountant Li thought she was just asking, and didn't think she wanted to buy it, so he said casually: "Eighty cents a catty, this sheep is about six catties, and one is only five yuan."

How could she, a shepherd, not know how much the lamb weighs? Shen Yunfang lowered her head and thought for a while, then took out a big union from her pocket and handed it over, "Accountant Li, I'll buy two."

Shen Yunfang led the lamb by the hand, carrying a pannier for chickens, ducks and geese, and walked home with Dashuan's wife.

"Tell me, you can't hold back, and you insist on buying these things. I haven't put enough of them in the usual place, so why are you making them at home?" Dashuan's daughter-in-law felt a little headache about Shen Yunfang's reckless spending of money, "Yunfang Ah, I know you may have some money, but that’s not how you spend it. If you have money, save some, and don’t catch anything in the future. You say you’re stupid or not, look at who we have in the village The family raises sheep? No way. Do you know why?"

"Sister-in-law, I know that raising sheep is not as suitable as raising pigs, but I thought, anyway, I have to herd sheep for the production team every day. I bought lambs myself, and it doesn't take much trouble to keep them together. Besides, raising sheep is much more economical than raising pigs." No matter how old it is, by the end of the year, it will definitely be stronger than it is now." Shen Yunfang said with a smile.

This is also an idea she just had. She plans to raise sheep for several reasons.The first is that she has convenient conditions. Since she has to go out to herd sheep every day, it doesn’t make any difference if she adds her own sheep. It is said that one sheep is also herding and raising two. She will let them all together. How can there be dozens of catties of meat left at the time, even if she doesn't sell it, she can satisfy her hunger, right?The second is to prepare for a rainy day. Uncle Shen said that she will not be allowed to herd sheep next year. By then, it will not be so convenient for her to drink goat milk. When herding sheep, she has goat milk to drink.The last one is that she wants to make her life better, at least she can eat meat if she wants to.

In the first two days of land reclamation, she has fully experienced the hard work involved, and also understands that with her current physical strength, it is impossible to make a fortune by farming, so she can only engage in farming.

It's just that in this period, even if the small place of Gaijiatun has a state order to support farmers raising chickens, ducks and pigs by themselves, it still can't prevent people from getting pink eye disease.In her previous life, she had been struggling in society for so many years, and there were quite a lot of disasters caused by jealousy.

As an orphan girl, if people know that there are a large number of chickens, ducks and pigs at home, she will definitely be coveted by others. But I can't find a place to cry, so now I still have to keep a low profile and keep a low profile in everything I do.

When she saw the lambs just now, she suddenly thought that if she bought a few more sheep to raise, it might work.

Of course, it is impossible for her to let go of farming this year. The first is that the money in her hand is limited, and she cannot spend all the money. She has to keep some money for crossing the river in her hand, in case she gets sick. Ah disaster or something, it doesn't numb the claws.The second is that if I raise dozens of them at once, the village will be bombed. At that time, the members of the commune will have green eyes when they look at her.This time is not suitable for high-profile, so even if you want to raise sheep, you have to think of a proper way.

After a trip to the market, her purse shrank again, from 75 to 52, and she bought some seasonings such as soy sauce and vinegar for the extra dollar.

After returning, as Shen Yunfang expected, the news of her buying sheep did not attract too many people's attention in Gaijiatun.

Those who knew about this also snorted, and it was over after cursing a prodigal.
