Chapter 339: Means of transportation, breeding planning
Since Zhang's mother had ordered steamed buns, Zhang Wanwan chose steamed buns. After finishing them in a few bites, she fed Zhang's mother an 80% full bowl of peanut paste and half a steamed bun. Seeing that the sun had already shone into the yard, she simply hung up the gauze net, moved the rattan chair to the doorstep, put a cushion on it, and then put Zhang's mother on it, saying, "Put the TV remote control in your hand. Try pressing what you want to watch. If you don't want to watch TV, just look at the sun in the yard. I'll carry you out to sit for a while when I come back, okay?"
Zhang's mother nodded and looked outside the door, signaling Zhang Wanwan to leave quickly.
When Zhang Wanwan went out, she locked the door and hailed a motorcycle at the entrance of the village to go to the town. At this time, she felt more and more that it was necessary to prepare an electric car.
The town is not big, and the only lively place is that street with shops and markets on both sides. The management here is not as strict as in the city. The traffic lights are just for show. Electric bikes and motorcycles are everywhere, and even bicycles are very arrogant. The motorcycle taxi driver shuttled flexibly and dropped Zhang Wanwan off at the door of the business hall.
The business hall had just opened at that time and it was very quiet inside. Zhang Wanwan went to the counter and handed in her ID card. The broadband was quickly arranged, but she had to wait for the technician to come and install it before she could use it, which she probably had to wait until the afternoon.
After dealing with the broadband issue, Zhang Wanwan immediately went to an electric car store and spent more than two thousand yuan to buy a ladies' electric car.
With an electric car, it is convenient to go anywhere, and she doesn't have to worry so much about buying things. She went to the market for a walk, and then rushed home with a 20-kilogram bag of rice, 10 kilograms of flour, a 12-kilogram bucket of peanut oil and various seasonings.
It was just past nine o'clock when we returned to the old house. Zhang's mother was still watching TV. She turned around immediately when she heard the noise.
Zhang Wanwan shouted loudly, "I bought an electric car, which will make it more convenient for me to go out. I also bought some rice, which is enough for me to eat for a while. By the way, I will go to the village to ask how to fill in the address for online shopping here. I will be back soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Wanwan ran out in a hurry.
When she came back again, she had two live ducks in her hands.
Mother Zhang stared at the duck in her hand with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Zhang Wanwan said with a headache: "When I went to the store, I met an uncle from my family. He still remembered me. When he heard that you came back to recuperate, he insisted that I catch two ducks, one male and one female, and let me kill them and make soup for you, but I don't know how to kill them!"
This was the first time that Zhang Wanwan, who had lived two lives, felt so embarrassed. She had seen a lot of storms before, but now she was stumped by two ducks.
Mother Zhang smiled teasingly, raised her hand with difficulty and pointed across the yard.
Zhang Wanwan turned her head and asked with wide eyes, "You don't want me to raise ducks in the courtyard, do you?"
Mother Zhang nodded.
Zhang Wanwan shook her head without even thinking, "That won't do. The ducks poop everywhere, and I can't stand the stinky smell in the yard! Besides, I plan to buy some foam boxes and seeds online to grow vegetables in the yard, so that you can eat pure natural green vegetables.
In fact, it’s not bad to raise some chickens and ducks, but they’re not suitable for home!”
Mother Zhang frowned, thought for a while, and pointed to the roof.
Zhang Wanwan looked over and asked in surprise, "You want me to raise chickens and ducks on the roof?"
Mother Zhang nodded again.
This time, Zhang Wanwan did not object directly, but ran to the courtyard and took a walk around. To be honest, although the house in her hometown was not very good, it had the advantage of having more rooms. There were four stone houses on each side. The living room, kitchen and ancestral hall were on the south side, and the rooms and bathroom where Zhang Wanwan and her friends lived were on the east side. The houses on the north and west sides had not been cleaned up and were still kept as they were. If chickens and ducks were to be raised, they could be raised on the roof on the north side, and then surrounded with wooden boards and iron nets to cover up the unpleasant smells. It would just be more troublesome to go up, and perhaps an iron ladder would have to be fixed on the north side, but the actual operation would not cost much money.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wanwan's mind immediately became active, and she picked up her phone to call Li Zhijie.
Now Li Zhijie can be said to be her best helper. When he heard that Zhang Wanwan wanted to enclose the roof, this guy was stunned for a moment and then said that he would take care of it.
At noon, Zhang Wanwan steamed Zhang's mother's egg custard and added a little more spiritual spring water to make it thicker than before.
Mother Zhang finished the whole bowl of egg custard and seemed to be still reluctant to leave.
Zhang Wanwan kept an eye on her body's reaction and said, "You can't eat anymore. If you like, I'll steam it for you tonight."
Zhang's mother seemed a little regretful, but she didn't object.
According to her previous biological clock, she should have gone to bed for a nap half an hour after lunch, but today she felt unusually energetic and her stomach felt a little strange. After forty minutes, the familiar sour smell came up again. Zhang's mother's face changed drastically and she struggled to get up.
Zhang Wanwan heard the noise and ran over. Without saying a word, she carried Zhang's mother to the bathroom.
At this time, Zhang Wanwan was sitting in the yard waiting for her mother. She was extremely grateful that she had returned to the old house. In the city, every time her mother did this, she had to fiddle with the fans, but even so, there was still a smell in the house, and it would take at least half a day to dissipate it.
It’s different here. The nearest neighbors are dozens of meters away, so there’s no need to worry about affecting others. In addition, the sea breeze is strong, so once the windows are opened, the smell can be dispersed instantly.
After Zhang's mother recovered, Zhang Wanwan hurried in and expertly helped her wash her hair and take a bath, and also took out her clothes to soak in water.
It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when I finished my work.
Just then, Li Zhijie brought his friend over to measure the size, so Zhang Wanwan’s lunch break was completely ruined.
Borrowing a bamboo ladder from a neighbor, Li Zhijie and his partner swiftly climbed up to the north roof for a comprehensive inspection. After checking it out, he said to Zhang Wanwan, "It's okay to raise chickens and ducks here. The location is quite large. It just needs to be fenced in higher to prevent the chickens and ducks from flying out. We'll build you a few nests later, and you can save a lot of physical work. As for the ladder you mentioned, just ask someone to come and weld it. There are quite a few of those ladders on the construction site, and my uncle knows them best. Just tell him and he'll make sure it's done for you."
Zhang Wanwan hurriedly said, "Then you have to calculate the labor and material costs for me. This time, we have to settle the accounts clearly, otherwise I won't dare to ask you for help in the future."
Seeing that Li Zhijie was a little hesitant, Zhang Wanwan continued to persuade him: "Don't think that our family is short of money. I have a job now, so I don't need this."
Li Zhijie smiled helplessly and shook his head, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Wait, I'll call my uncle now and ask the factory if they can deliver the materials today. If they can, we can start work tomorrow."
Zhang Wanwan nodded hurriedly and asked them to stay for dinner.
