Chapter 354 Which one is more valuable
"That's right. You still have more than an hour to go back. It's better to go early than late. Don't let your sister worry about you. Go back quickly. There are not many things here. I can rub them quickly by myself." Seeing her hesitation, Luo Meihua also joined in.
"Hurry up, take the things and go back. If you are willing, you can go back every other day. Are you afraid that you will not have a job in the future? Meihua will help you do more today, and you can do more the day after tomorrow. It's a different principle." Gu Qingqing said, waving at her, motioning her to leave quickly.
"Sister, why don't you go back first? You see Sanhua is a little sleepy. I'll take over for you after she falls asleep." Wen Shengxi said happily as she looked at Sanhua, who looked a little tired in her arms.
Several people took their turns to dissuade her, but Lu Xiaocao no longer insisted. She got up, washed her hands, took the bamboo basket she had brought with her, and left in a hurry.
Gu Qingqing originally wanted to sit down and take over Xiaocao's massage, but she suddenly thought of something and looked up at the sky and shouted, "Daxin, Dahua, where are you?"
Gu Qingqing stretched her neck and waited for a long time, but she didn't hear their voices coming from anywhere. She said "Huh" in confusion.
Shengxi seemed to remember something. "Sister, I think I saw Daxin and Dahua go out with bamboo baskets. Are they going to the mountain to cut grass? Is there anything you want to do? I'll go."
After being reminded by Shengxi, Gu Qingqing suddenly realized and said "Oh", then turned around and asked her "Is Sanhua asleep?"
Wen Shengxi looked down at Sanhua, whose eyes were already closed, with a gentle expression and a much softer voice, "She's asleep. I'll put her in the crib."
The small bed that Wen Shengxi mentioned was the bamboo bed that Old Yang had given to Sanhua. It was light and could be placed anywhere on the open space, so they could watch it while they worked.
"Okay, wait a minute. I'll go move the crib." After Sanhua was settled, Gu Qingqing said to Shengxi, "Go to the hillside and tell Yang Xing to kill five chickens. Tell them to collect all the small fluffs. They know how to do the rest. You just wait over there and bring back the collected chickens."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Wen Shengxi saw that he was asked to do the work, so he ran over quickly.
After Gu Qingqing sat down, Luo Meihua kept chatting with her while working on her work, "Sister-in-law, are we only going to braise five chickens tomorrow? I think we sold eight today."
"Let's start with five. We just opened today and the sound of firecrackers attracted a lot of people. We don't know what will happen tomorrow. Let's wait and see in the next few days. Once we get used to the rules, we'll know how many to make later." Gu Qingqing explained to her.
Luo Meihua said confidently, "My sister-in-law is a good cook. Everyone who has eaten it praises that it is delicious. I think they may come early to line up to buy it later."
Gu Qingqing laughed when she heard this. "If this continues, my chickens on the hillside will be in trouble. I hope the chickens will be eaten before I can even eat the eggs."
Luo Meihua paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You have at least 200 chickens on that hillside. It's not easy to eat them all. Besides, you can make money anyway, so it doesn't matter if you eat early or late."
Gu Qingqing laughed softly and asked her, "How much do you think a chicken the size of mine on the hillside can be sold for in town?"
Luo Meihua thought about it and shook her head and said, "Chickens are usually raised by households in our village for eggs. Chickens of the size you described can lay eggs immediately, but few people sell them. It's hard to say what the price will be."
"What if it's an old hen that stops laying eggs after autumn?" Gu Qingqing asked again.
"It must be around twenty or thirty cents at least," said Luo Meihua.
"Look, not only can we eat eggs all season long in the fall, but even if we sell them, they cost a penny each. A chicken must lay at least a hundred eggs from early summer to late fall. How much do you think these eggs will sell for? The old hens can still be sold for money. So, I don't think you need to sell a lot of braised chicken every day, otherwise I'm afraid there won't be enough chickens on the mountain."
After hearing this, Luo Meihua felt something was wrong. Although she was confused, she nodded subconsciously, but she suddenly stopped nodding halfway, as if she had seen the sun and the moon after the clouds had been cleared away. "Hey, sister-in-law, you can't do what you say. If we kill the chickens now, we don't have to feed them anymore. If we keep them until winter, they will eat up a lot of food."
Gu Qingqing laughed again, "You raised them in captivity. Mine are raised on the hillside, with insects and tender grass. In addition to feeding them some rice grains when they were young..."
Gu Qingqing didn't finish her words, but her meaning was indeed self-evident.
Luo Meihua, who had just come to her senses, was confused by her again and felt that what she said made sense.
Seeing that she was confused again, Gu Qingqing hurriedly changed the subject, "Okay, don't worry too much. As long as business is good, I can just buy a few hundred chicks."
If making braised pork offal wasn't too monotonous, she would have been reluctant to kill the chicken right now.
......
"Brother Dong, have you noticed that these little pigs have had their bellies scratched by my sister-in-law?" Zhao Bei squatted in the pigpen, grabbed the front legs of the little pig he had just brought in, and made it stand up, so that he could see the small wound under its belly.
At first, I just saw a scar on my belly and thought it was the piglet that had hurt itself somewhere.
As a result, he went to look at the two brought by Brother Dong and Brother Nan and found that they all had them, so he asked curiously.
Regarding this matter, Zhao Dong knew that Gu Qingqing had done something to the piglet one day, but he didn't know what he had done. He also didn't know what the wound was used for.
"Why are you asking so many questions? The boss must have his reasons for doing this. Get out of the pigsty quickly." Zhao Donghu said.
"Why are you in such a hurry? This pigpen is newly built and doesn't stink."
"It's pretty good here, you can sleep here this morning. Zhao Nan, let's go." Zhao Dong said and turned to leave.
When Zhao Bei saw that Dong Ge was really leaving, he jumped out of the pigpen in a hurry, shouting "Wait for me, wait for me."
When Wen Shengxi came over, she happened to meet the three of them. Maybe because Zhao Dong and Zhao Bei went to help her leave the old Lu family at that time, she was close to them from the bottom of her heart.
Happily shouting "Brother Dong, Brother Bei, Brother Nan."
"Shengxi is here." Zhao Dong nodded in response.
Zhao Bei has a lively personality to begin with, and it was the first time someone called him brother. He didn't have a tail. If he had a tail, wouldn't it be sticking up to the sky by now?
"Hey, why are you here? Did my sister-in-law ask you to call us?" As he asked the question, he jumped in front of Wen Shengxi like a rabbit.
Wen Shengxi saw that they had misunderstood and hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, my sister asked me to go to the hillside to find Sister Yang Xing to catch five chickens."
