Chapter 71

One hundred ducks and eight boxes of rotten fish and shrimps. It is not a trivial matter to transport all these things back to Xingfu Village.

Besides, even if it is transported back, there is no place to put it. Although her yard is not small, it is not easy to hold a hundred ducks. The duck droppings alone are enough for her and Chen Xiang'e to clean up.

In the end, Ah Yue gave her an idea to sell these ducks to restaurants in the town at a low price.

This is a good idea, those restaurants, especially the big restaurants, which one can't eat twenty or thirty ducks every day?

A duck can usually be sold for tens of pennies, since Shen Yao wants to sell it in large quantities, it is cheaper than others.

The price she set was 25 cents per piece for more than [-] pieces, which was much cheaper than the market price.

Sure enough, the ducks were quickly sold out.

Even Xin Yaming's boss bought twenty ducks for emergencies.

Of course, before selling the ducks, Shen Yao did not forget to choose [-] female ducks that could only lay eggs. She wanted to bring them back to Xingfu Village to raise them. The duck eggs alone would be a considerable income.

Ah Yue also got two fat ducks. Lan Xin was six months pregnant, and these ducks could just be brought back to her to nourish her body.

In order not to expose her identity, Shen Yao did not personally hire a car, but Ah Yue asked the driver to send the ducks and rotten fish and rotten shrimps to the city gate.

Ah Yue also pretended to play a scene in front of people: "I can't finish eating so many ducks I bought, let's send them to the elder sister's house in the country to raise them first! You go to the gate of the city to find a woman who sells potato balls, that is my eldest sister, let me eat them." She went back with these ducks and rotten fish and rotten shrimps."

The coachman agreed, and immediately drove the ox cart to the city gate.

With so many ducks, Chen Xiang'e would definitely not be able to get them by herself, so Shen Yao had to hurry back and work together.

After saying goodbye to Ah Yue, Shen Yao hurried to the city gate.

First, she found a little beggar to deliver a letter to Chen Xiang'e, then Shen Yao went out of the city gate and went straight to the Earth Temple, quickly changed her clothes and wiped off the makeup on her face, and then rushed to the main road.

Tomorrow she had to continue pretending to be Little Peach Blossom to find Ah Yue to learn how to be a matchmaker, so she hid the small bundle with clothes in the Earth Temple and did not bring it back.

When Shen Yao arrived on the main road, Chen Xiang'e and three ox carts also happened to arrive, picked up Shen Yao, and the group returned to the village in a mighty manner.

As expected, the three ox carts and the squawking ducks aroused the attention of the villagers as soon as they entered the village. Everyone followed the ox carts and pointed.

"Look, the little widow actually bought so many ducks! This is rich!"

"Tch, I don't know how to earn dirty money!"

Wang Cuihua was also in the crowd. Hearing the envious and surprised discussion, she couldn't help rolling her eyes and humming, the sourness in her tone was very strong.

Shen Yao is in a good mood today, and she is not as knowledgeable as her, but when passing by Wang Cuihua, she quickly picked up some duck feces with her toes and kicked it in front of her.

Damn!

Wang Cuihua yelled, and jumped back subconsciously, the duck droppings barely landed on the front of her shoes, almost onto her pants.

"Little bitch, you..."

"Slut? Who knows who is bitch!"

Shen Yao squinted her eyes, but this time she didn't pick it with her toes, she pulled on the duck cage with one hand, making a gesture to throw it towards Wang Cuihua.

If you shake it, the duck will definitely not be able to get it out, but the duck droppings in the cage will definitely fly out!
The villagers around Wang Cuihua immediately dispersed with a whoosh, for fear of being splashed with duck feces.

Wang Cuihua even ran back with her head in her arms, screaming while running, as if the duck feces were about to fall on her head.

Hahahaha.

Shen Yao laughed so hard that her stomach ached, Xiaopang's hands clapped on the duck cage, how could she have so much strength to lift the cage containing five ducks?This Wang Cuihua really flattered her.

The ox cart went all the way to Shen Yao's house, and with the help of the driver, twenty ducks and eight boxes of rotten fish and shrimp were all moved into the yard.

On the way here, Shen Yao had already briefly told Chen Xiang'e the origin of these ducks.

In order not to worry Chen Xiang'e, of course she did not say that it was sent by the cold-faced man for revenge, but changed it to a thank-you gift from her employer.

Seeing that Shen Yao was earning money and receiving gifts as a matchmaker at the beginning, Chen Xiang'e was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth with a smile all the way.

"Come here, put these ducks here, and the box is here! Yes, put the duck eggs in the basket, don't break them, be careful!"

Chen Xiang'e ran back and forth, overwhelmed with work.

Raising twenty ducks free-range in the yard is not an option, and keeping them in duck cages is not a long-term idea. After thinking about it, Chen Xiang'e had to put all the ducks in coffins first.

A large coffin was actually used to hold ducks, probably only Chen Xiang'e could do it.

But that's good, at least the duck eggs won't be rolling around.

After cleaning up the ducks, it was already past noon.

Chen Xiang'e was urged home by Shen Yao's words on the way, and there were still two or three meat buns that were not sold out, which could be used for lunch.

On the way here, a few ducks laid eggs, which can be used to make egg drop soup, not to mention how delicious it is.

It was said before that the open space next to the house would be dug into a pond, but now that there are [-] more ducks, it seems that the pond must be dug.

After lunch, Shen Yao carried the shovel to dig a hole in the open space.

The soil of this land is relatively hard. After being dug into a pond, it must be very strong and not easy to collapse, but it is also very difficult to dig.

Shen Yao came from the countryside in her previous life, but she didn't do much farm work, and even a handful of people carried a shovel. She didn't even know how to use a shovel, and she only managed to shovel a little bit after a long time. Soil only.

"That's not okay, you have to use a pick to get the soil out before shoveling it out."

Chen Xiang'e came out, carrying the pickaxes borrowed from Qiuxiang's house, and went down one by one, and a lot of the hard soil was lifted out immediately.

Shen Yao followed behind her buttocks, shoveling the raised soil to the side, and after a while, she was so tired that she was sweating profusely. In the early autumn weather, even her clothes were soaked.

There was no man to help with the work, and the two of them worked until the evening, and the digging was less than half done, but the overall size of the pond was revealed, and all that remained was to continue digging the pond deeper.

Shen Yao beat her sore waist, panting from exhaustion: "This soil can just be used to repair the roof."

The soil they dug up can be used to build a house, and it saves two people from transporting it to the field.
