Ms. Cheng just wanted to know how much the chicks cost, as she wanted to go to the city to buy a few to raise.
Not only can it lay eggs, but we can also eat meat later, which would be perfect.
Why can He Tiantian raise chickens but she can't? Hmph, she's saved up some money, raising a few poultry is within her budget.
Undeterred, Madam Cheng asked again, "How much does it cost? Please tell me, Chief Clerk."
Everyone nodded; they wanted to know too.
"I bought them for seven coins each," He Tiantian said helplessly, looking at the villagers' gossipy expressions.
Sure enough, as soon as the words were spoken, some people couldn't contain themselves.
Seven coins for a chick is indeed expensive. But these chicks look like they've been raised for a while and are about to molt.
Even if it's a bit more expensive, it's really not a big deal.
Although Cheng felt a little pained, looking at the hopping chicks, she gritted her teeth and could accept it.
At this moment, she automatically ignored her previous grudges with He Tiantian and shamelessly asked, "Where did you buy them? I'll go and buy a few tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, I want to buy a few too."
"My family also wants to buy a few."
Regardless of why they wanted to buy chicks, seeing that Zhao Tingzhang and his family were raising chickens together, I felt that raising chickens was a good business opportunity and wouldn't result in a loss.
People are most prone to following trends, and now there are about ten families who want to buy chicks.
Cheng shrewdly volunteered to help those families buy chickens. She calculated that they needed quite a few chicks, and she planned to negotiate a better price with the owners to see if she could get a kickback.
Cheng's inner calculations were so clear they could probably be heard even from across a mountain.
He Tiantian's face remained expressionless, revealing nothing. She knew exactly what kind of person the Cheng family was.
If she could buy a plucked chick for seven coins in the city, He Tiantian would give her her head.
If we return empty-handed, everyone will inevitably complain.
The Cheng family will only end up shooting themselves in the foot, getting themselves into trouble for no reason.
All one thousand chicks were raised in the chicken coop. Of the many houses built at the foot of the mountain, only a few remain after use.
Zhao Tingzhang was very excited to see so many chicks.
He sighed, "If only we could raise these chickens on the mountain, that would be wonderful."
Upon hearing this, He Tiantian also looked at the large mountain behind her.
It's still early spring, but the lush greenery covering the mountains is a sight to behold. It's as if endless hope is slowly sprouting and growing.
Raising free-range chickens would be feasible in modern times with the technology and materials available. But under the conditions of this era, it's simply unthinkable.
Raising chickens you buy on the mountain is essentially just feeding the carnivores there.
However, it cannot be denied that the meat of mountain chickens is firm and delicious.
Moreover, feeding them is convenient, and there's no need to hire artificial feeders anymore.
Okay, okay, the conditions aren't right, let's leave it at that for now.
The chicken farm was officially established, and everyone was working hard.
Hong Erniang has planted nearly half of her twenty mu of cotton and has also hired a lot of people to help with the work.
The women and old women in the village who previously had no work, but were still able to do physical labor, were all recruited to do chores.
Everyone in the village who was able to move was busy.
Even He Tiantian's two big dogs have to patrol the wheat field and chicken coop every day before they can go home.
Hong Erniang was so busy that she barely had time to rest, sometimes only managing to drink a sip of water at the end of the day.
Fortunately, someone in He Tiantian's family cooks, otherwise this busy family wouldn't have been able to get a hot meal at all.
With Xiao Mingzhu not around, He Tiantian went to bed early on the first night.
The main reason was that she had worked most of the day at the chicken farm and was indeed exhausted.
So I sleep exceptionally soundly at night.
Sun Qi finally has a place to stay this time, but she still has to squeeze into the same bed with He Shitou.
Being in someone else's home, Sun Qi had no choice but to accept He Shitou's proposal.
That night, He Shitou lay down next to Sun Qi, clutching his blanket like a thief.
In the darkness, the two remained silent for a while.
He Shitou finally couldn't resist leaning close to Sun Qi's ear and whispering, "Brother Sun, are you perhaps the legendary hero?"
Sun Qi nearly threw up his dinner. What was this bastard thinking? What kind of hero was he? A peerless hero?
So Sun Qi didn't say anything, not wanting to answer He Shitou's question at all.
However, He Shitou was not one to give up easily. "Hehe, I saw it all behind Brother Sun at the Li residence last time."
"The story in that opera excerpt is exactly the same as yours, wandering the world with a sword, isn't that you?"
Sun Qi's face darkened. "You saw my sword?"
"No, you saw my sword?"
Sun Qi thought that he must have been so angry with He Shitou that he was cursing himself.
He Shitou shook his head. "Then did you use a knife? Or a dart?"
Sun Qi stared silently at the dark rooftop, saying nothing.
He felt there was no point in wasting his breath. He just wanted dawn to break so he could go home.
But the more silent Sun Qi remained, the more mysterious He Shitou found him.
Finally, some speculated that Sun Qi might have joined some underworld gang to uphold justice, etc.
He didn't know how long he talked, until his eyelids became so heavy that he couldn't lift them, and then his voice slowly faded away.
