He happened to see a woman selling ducks. The ducks were very energetic and healthy, and they were very suitable for breeding in captivity.

"Sister, how do you sell this duck?"

When the woman saw a customer coming to the door, she introduced her kindly: "The ducks are sold by the piece. These three ducks are all about the same size. I'll sell you 120 yuan for one, and the total is [-] yuan."

This duck weighs about four catties, and the price per catty is about the same as lean meat.

Jingmo knew that with the current standard of living, it would be very difficult to feed chickens and ducks to a weight of seven or eight catties. People can't get enough to eat, so how can they care about animals?

Jing Mo gave the money, and paid two more: "Please help me to deliver it to the gate tower of the town, to the coachman in Nanhe Village."

"It's so embarrassing, it's okay if I go for a trip." The woman didn't dare to charge more.

"Nothing, you go."

"Thank you, sir." The woman saluted and took the duck away.

Jing Mo went back to buy some vegetables, but after walking a few steps, he saw an old man selling chicken cubs.

He thought of the two unhappy pheasants at home, and walked over involuntarily.

The five tiny three-yellow chickens were nestled in a cage, no bigger than Jingmo's palm, soft like frangipani.

Although there are only five of them, it is also good to be able to accompany the mother and father of chickens.

Jing Mo knelt down and asked, "Old man, how do you sell this chick?"

The old man looked a little older, and when he opened his mouth, he saw that half of his teeth were missing. He said slowly, "Ten cents apiece."

The old man also sells eggs: "Where are the eggs?"

"Eggs are a penny."

It was the same as what Nan Xing gave him at that time. In ancient times, these were nutritious products, and ordinary people would not eat them all at once, so it is normal for the price to be high.

"You count, I want them all."

The old man thought he heard it wrong: "I want everything?"

"Yes, are your eggs fresh?"

The old man happily promised: "Fresh, if there are any bad ones, come to me."

"it is good."

The old man saw that his hands were empty: "You didn't bring a basket?"

"Sell me this bamboo basket as well."

"You young man, you don't know how to live, why don't you bring a basket when you go shopping?" the old man preached.

Jing Mo nodded: "I will remember next time."

The number of eggs ordered by the old man was sixteen in total.

Including five chicks, it is 66 Wen.

"These two baskets are worthless, you can take them back."

"That won't work, it's not easy for you to earn money." Jing Mo ordered seventy essays for him: "You count it up, and tell me if you miss it."

"Okay, okay, wait a minute."

After the old man counted, he found that there were four more coins, so he took them out alone and wanted to return them to Jing Mo.

Jing Mo confiscated it: "Your baskets are still very new, and I lost two cents each, so you can keep them." After finishing speaking, he picked up the two baskets and left.

Looking at his back, the old man shook his head and was relieved.

How could he not understand that this young man was considerate of his age and didn't want to take advantage of him.

Jing Mo went to buy some vegetables again. He didn't buy much, so he put them in a basket, and then went to the butcher stall to pick up the meat.

Then he found an empty alley and put all the meat into the space ring.

Then go to the gatehouse.

When he got there, Nan Hai had already tied up the duck for him so that it would not fly away on the road.

Seeing him coming, Nan Hai asked, "Have you bought everything?"

"Ah."

As he got closer, Nan Hai saw the little yellow chickens pecking at each other in his basket, and asked curiously, "Do you still know how to raise chickens?"

"No, but you can learn." Jing Mo said

Nan Hai plucked the fluffy chick with his hand: "This thing is not easy to raise, you can go back and ask the people in the village, let them teach you some techniques."

"it is good."

Pointing to another basket: "Hold the eggs, so as not to break them."

"Ah."

Jing Mo sat with him under the banyan tree and waited for others.

Nan Hai asked him: "You buy chickens and ducks, where do you plan to raise them?"

"Stay at home first."

"It's good, it looks like it's living a life."

Jing Mo didn't even dare to say that he bought the duck to eat.

"I heard Brother Peng say that you rented dry land to grow corn and potatoes. Is that okay?"

"Theoretically yes."

"..." Nan Hai didn't know what to say.

Jing Mo didn't know that he had chatted to death.

He and Nan Hai waited for another quarter of an hour, and the few people who came to the town together came over one after another.

These people probably came to the town for business, and they didn't have many things in their hands.

Seeing the duck tied to the ox cart, the woman said, "This duck is very energetic."

Nan Hai said, "It was bought by Jing Mo."

The woman looked at Jing Mo and saw the basket in his hand: "There are still chicks, why don't you buy some rice bran?"

Jing Mo really has no experience in raising chickens: "I didn't buy it."

The woman said again: "If you want them to grow well, you still need to feed some rice bran."

Nankai said: "Go back to the village and ask if you can buy some."

The woman said: "I have them at home. I'll sell you some if you want."

Rice bran, as one of the grains, is still a common dish on the dinner table these days.

It can be made into cakes, or added to rice to make rice or porridge.

Those who can even out the rice bran and sell them have a surplus of grain at home.

Seeing the woman's initiative, Jing Mo also agreed: "Okay, I want twenty catties of rice bran from you, where do you live?"

The woman said, "I'll send it to you."

Jing Mo nodded.

It's also easy to save yourself from having to go all the way.

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Nanhai greeted them to get into the car.

After a meal, the ox cart stopped at the entrance of the village.

Each paid the money and left.

Seeing that he had a lot of things, Nanhai took him to the door in a bullock cart.

Jing Mo carried the things in.

Nanhai helps him catch three ducks.

After entering the yard, seeing the vegetables in the vegetable garden, he also said the same thing as Mr. Xu's husband: "This duck must be locked up first, otherwise the vegetable field will be ruined."

Jing Mo first put everything on the manhole cover, and together with him stuffed the duck into the chicken coop, and together with the two pheasants, packed the chicken coop to the brim.

Seeing this, Nan Hai smiled and said, "We still need to change to a bigger one."

Jing Mo also felt a little wronged by stuffing them in this chicken coop.

"The new one can't be edited until Brother Xing is free, so let's lock it up for now."

Nan Hai said: "I'll see if there is any left in my house, and if there is any, send one over."

"Thank you, Uncle Hai."

Nan Hai waved his hand, signaling that he is welcome: "I'm going back first, I have to go to the field later."

"Okay, I will go there later."

"Ah."

Nan Hai took the ox cart home.
