The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

The duck meat was okay, it just took more than half an hour to braise it, but the goose meat was more difficult to stew, and it took more than an hour to stew it until it was crispy and tender.

By the time the braised duck and braised goose were ready, the grandfather and grandson had already had lunch, so they might as well wait until dinner to serve them.

One duck and one goose were too much for my family to eat, so they sent two children to run errands and sent a bowl to Yuan Datou and a large bowl to Yu Chonghui's family.

When the two came back, the food at home was also cooked.

The two large plates of braised duck and braised goose, although already cold, did not affect the taste at all.

"good to eat!"

Mr. Jiang helped pack up the stew, and he was already so greedy by the aroma. When he brought it back home, it was already cold. Others did not hold the same high expectations as he did.

Everyone else also extended their chopsticks to the braised duck and goose. Although the meat was cold, it had a unique flavor, and they nodded frequently after eating it.

Served with a plate of sweet potato leaves stir-fried by Zhao over high heat, it is extremely delicious. There is no need to cook other dishes. These two dishes are enough to go with the meal.

When they were almost done eating, everyone asked: "Why did you think of braised duck and goose today?"

"But it's quite delicious, no worse than braised pork!" Jiang Youli touched his chin and said. Although he didn't have any skills, he still had a good mouth.

Then he sighed, "It would be great if Xiao Song was here, he would definitely like it too."

Everyone curled their lips, Jiang Youli was ignoring Song Yunting, and those who didn't know thought they were father and son!

Everyone ignored him and just listened to Jiang Li saying: "The brine can not only brine pork, but also chicken, duck and goose. Buy it and try the quality of other meats."

"The braised duck is a bit worse, but the braised goose is more delicious."

Zhao commented.

Seeing that her family had a good response, Jiang Li decided directly, "Then let's catch a few and raise them to see if they can be sold! Fewer ducks and more geese."

Now the Jiang family will not naively think that the few that Jiang Li said are really just a few.

She has at least ten or more.

Mr. Jiang asked sincerely, "Does it have to be separated by a piece of land? How big should it be?"

"Let's enclose half an acre of land first. Enclose it next to the pond. The ducks and geese should be separated."

Jiang Li said.

Mr. Jiang nodded, it was okay, not too outrageous.

The next day they went to the market and caught twenty ducks, ten ducklings. The remaining ten ducks weighed five or six pounds, and the geese were even more. They bought forty ducks, all in half.

On the first day after catching them, three ducks and three geese were slaughtered and braised on the same day. The next day they were taken to Jiang Youli, Zhao and Zhang Guiyang for trial sale.

Just giving customers a free trial, some customers who have been buying braised pork from their home for a long time have made reservations. A total of two ducks and six geese were ordered.

They are all sold by the pound. Duck meat costs twelve cents per catty, and goose meat costs twenty-five cents.

Some people prefer goose meat to braised pork.

Yuan Datou had only been here a few days, and before he had even finished inspecting the ninety pigs in the pig pen, another batch of ducks and geese came into the house, but he was very busy.

There is a family in the village. The widowed mother has several children. The family is running out of rice. A few days ago, the Jiang family was recruiting people. Yu Zheng helped introduce a twelve or thirteen-year-old son from that family to help. .

Children of this age can already do a lot of work, so the Jiang family takes them in. In this way, the family can be considered to be able to open fire. At least they don't have to dig wild vegetables and can drink wild vegetable porridge.

Seeing that Yuan Datou was too busy, the child took the initiative to ask Yuan Datou if there was anything he could do after finishing his work.

Yuan Datou gave him the job of feeding ducks and geese.

Ducks are omnivores, and geese don't eat any meat.

The child took Yuan Datou's words very seriously, did the work he told him seriously, and took good care of the ducks and geese.

Worried that the business at home would affect his two children, Jiang Songshu went to Duan Yuanzhou to ask if the merchant could participate in the scientific examination.

Duan Yuanzhou asked in surprise, "I thought you knew!"

The Jiang family was doing business, but they still sent their children to school, and looking at their seriousness, they were rushing to take the scientific examination.

"Originally, this was not possible. It was strictly stipulated that merchants could not participate in the scientific examination. But in recent years, there has been turmoil everywhere. I heard that the national treasury is empty, and merchants can buy officials by donating money."

What's more, the son of a businessman is taking the scientific examination.

Jiang Songshu felt relieved to go home and reply.

Although it doesn't matter whether the land is purchased or not, and whether it is defined as a farmer or not, the matter of buying land is still included in the itinerary of the Jiang family.

If you buy land now, you can sow the seeds and harvest in June or July.

Everyone in the Jiang family agrees to buy land for farming. My own family will definitely be too busy, so we can just hire someone to farm.

"Then how many acres of land does our family want to buy?"

Everyone was very interested in looking at Mr. Jiang and Jiang Li.

Jiang Li estimated the twenty kilograms of rice seeds she had bought and said conservatively: "Let's buy ten acres of land first."

"Ten acres of land is almost enough, right?"

Jiang Li turned to look at everyone and asked again.

Ten acres of land would be enough for their family to farm. It's not really a lot, but it's not a lot.

"Okay, let's go back and see if any family is willing. We can rent out this land." Mr. Jiang said hesitantly, "I think the rent is 40% to 60%. The tenants are 40% and we are 60%. Our family can rent out the land." Mule.”

Jiang Li thought to herself, my rice yield per mu is 800 kilograms, so we are at a bit of a loss at 40-60 kilograms. From what she knows, the maximum yield per mu is 500 kilograms, and the rent ratio is 30-70 kilograms, so tenants can only get 30 percent. .

But after all, when the time comes, we can use this to restrain the tenants from spreading the news.

At this time, Jiang Li never expected that the people in Yujia Village didn't even plan to sell their land to them before she even had time to tell her plan.

Mr. Jiang went to ask Yu Zhonghui if there were paddy fields for sale in the village. It happened that there were young people from the Yu family there. When he heard about this, he turned around and went back to tell his grandfather.

This suddenly made them run to Yu Zhonghui's house as if their buttocks were on fire.

Before Mr. Jiang could leave, he bumped into them.

"You kid wants to buy land in our Yujia Village? This is the first time this has happened."

As soon as the clan elder heard this, he ran over in a hurry without calling the other clan elders or the clan leader. After Mr. Tong Jiang finished speaking, he immediately turned to Yu Zhonghui and said, "Ah Hui, you haven't agreed yet, have you? This is not the case. Be careful, you also know why our village is so united and united, but you can’t just accept it casually.”

His eyes contained a warning.

Yu Zhonghui looked at each other with an unclear look, and looked away for a long time.

He said helplessly to Mr. Jiang: "I will answer you later."

Mr. Jiang glanced at the somewhat hostile clan elder and nodded towards Yu Zhonghui.
