Chapter 87, Farewell
That’s right, He Zhengjing’s fish pond was dug from his family’s field. After raising fish for several years, there were not many fish, so he finally used it for farming.
Upon hearing this, Mei Xue no longer thought about it. Forget it, let's talk about it later. She was afraid that after the pool on Chaotian Mountain had been plundered by them a few times, the people in the village would take action.
It will not be a good idea to catch fish all the time, as fish also need time to grow.
But if she can’t raise fish, she can still raise chickens. Her own chickens are so strong and healthy that she can sell them without having to wait until the New Year.
"Grandma, let's repair the chicken coop. The chicks have grown up now, and it's not a long-term solution for them to keep living in the back room." Mei Xue said after changing her mind.
"Okay, An Ze is at home, so let him go to the mountain to chop some wood and rebuild the chicken coop. Make it bigger this time." Of course Grandma He fulfilled Xiaoxue's wish.
"Will he?" Mei Xue asked doubtfully.
"Yes, he used to do all these chores at home. Grandma couldn't do it." Grandma He didn't lie about this.
Normally, when small things at home break, we always wait for him to come back and fix them. Repairing a chicken coop is no big deal.
"Okay, let him build a big chicken coop from the kitchen to the fence gate." Mei Xue also wanted to catch some chickens to raise.
"Grandma, please go ask around in the village to see if anyone has chicks for sale. We can buy some and raise them here. If there aren't any in the village, we can go buy some at the market."
"How many do you want to buy?" We have quite a few chickens at home, dozens of them.
"Buy more, forty or fifty won't be a problem." After all, raising one is the same, raising a group is the same, she can raise them well.
After hearing this, Grandma He thought, "It just so happens that the chickens at your Grandma Jinghua's house have laid eggs. This time, there seem to be 20 to 30 eggs. I wonder how many chickens will come out. There are also some at your Aunt Lanhua's house."
If you count, forty or fifty would be enough.
"Okay, when will it be available? Grandma, you can buy it back then." Just in time, He Anze could repair the chicken coop.
Mei Xue doesn't plan to use the house behind the house to raise chickens, so she'll just catch a few pigs.
Now that I have money, I don’t have to worry about not having enough money to buy a piglet.
"Let's wait a few days. There's no rush. I'll talk to them in the afternoon and then we'll catch them when they leave the nest." Grandma He said with a loving face.
"Grandma, the room at the back is now empty. Let's catch a piglet and raise it. Also, it's time to sell our pig. It's too fat and eats too much."
After being nourished by Mei Xue's spiritual spring water these days, the pig has become shiny and fat, and its weight has been increasing rapidly. Now it probably weighs more than 300 kilograms, which is enough to catch up with the wild boar.
In fact, they have been getting one thing wrong. The price of wild boars is higher than that of domestic pigs. The price of live domestic pigs, for example, is only 70 cents per pound.
Even though it's sold at RMB 1.20 per pound in the vegetable market, the butcher also needs to make a profit, so he has to remove the internal organs, blood, fur, etc. So 70 cents is considered a very good price.
Last time, Mr. Mi paid a high price for one pound of raw pork.
When her own pig was praised, Grandma He looked proud and said, "That's right. Maybe it has been eating too well recently. It's time to sell it." It won't grow meat if I keep raising it any longer. I'd better sell it.
Then I can catch two more piglets and sell them after the Chinese New Year.
"Wait for An Ze to come back and ask if there is anyone willing to buy the pigs. If no one wants to buy them, we will take them to the town to sell them." Usually, people would come to the village to buy the pigs when the Chinese New Year was approaching.
It's not a festival now, so no one will come in to collect.
You have to pull it out and sell it yourself.
"Can't we do what we did last time at Masamatsu's house? We kill them ourselves and then sell the meat." Killing them ourselves would leave a lot of things.
"Xiaoxue, we have a lot of meat at home, enough to last until the New Year. What if we kill the pigs ourselves and don't sell them all? We have a lot of pork." Grandma He said worriedly.
Mei Xue saw that her grandmother disagreed, so she didn't say much, "Okay then, there will be a big market in a few days, so let He Anze go to the market and ask."
The first person Mei Xue thought of was Boss Pig. She felt that the couple were easy to deal with and she had mentioned this once before.
"Sure, it won't be two days yet, so we should go ask first and get a definite answer so we can make plans."
While chatting about trivial matters, they finished their work in the fields. When the sun was high in the sky, they went home.
As soon as she got home, Mei Xue started to cook lunch. She didn't know whether they would come back for dinner, so she also made some extra rice so that they could eat it in the evening if they couldn't finish it.
Mei Xue prepared a very sumptuous lunch, mainly to reward herself.
After dinner, Mei Xue and her grandmother went back to their rooms for a nap. Unlike in the past when they could get a good night's sleep, now she had to deal with a wolf at night.
If I sleep a little longer during the day, I will feel uncomfortable in the afternoon.
Mei Xue’s biggest wish is to eat well, drink well and sleep well.
Even though this life is as miserable as a pig, many people may never be able to achieve it in their entire lifetime.
I have been working hard for the ups and downs of life all my life without stopping.
On the other hand, because there were too many fish, Boss Mi couldn't eat them all at once, so he bought dozens of kilograms. Then He Anze and others took the fish to the seafood market.
I have to say that the few drops of spiritual spring water that Mei Xue secretly put in there really helped a lot.
When I came there at noon, the fish were jumping around in the sun, and they were divided up as soon as they entered the seafood market.
That’s not all. Some people asked them to bring more tomorrow and they wanted all of it.
He Anze thought that he could still stay at home for a few more days, and if possible, he planned to sell fish for a few more days.
After thinking about it, he agreed. Mr. Mi definitely couldn't eat so much, so he could only sell it here.
After agreeing to these bosses, He Anze took his cousins to have lunch. Of course, he couldn't treat himself badly now that he had money.
He Anze didn't buy anything for his family because he found that his family really had everything they needed, whether it was food, drink, or clothing.
Xiaoxue prepared everything for the house, even grandma changed into new clothes. In the past, grandma was reluctant to wear new clothes.
Now, grandma's old clothes have long been put away. When she is not working, she always wears new clothes and then goes around the village.
Life was very hard in the past, and he could understand his grandmother's thoughts a little, so he wanted people to see that she had married a good granddaughter-in-law and make people envious.
It has to be said that the villagers are very envious, and those who have not yet found a daughter-in-law are planning to look for one like Mei Xue.
Some people who are ambitious even want to find a better wife than Mei Xue.
After lunch, the four of them drove the carriage back to the village.
"Brother Anze, aren't we going this afternoon?" An Cheng said with a longing look on his face.
"No, the fish may not survive if left overnight. We'll go tomorrow morning and take it to the seafood market. There will be a lot of people there at noon anyway." He Anze shook his head.
Please recommend, reward and collect!
