Chapter 644 Duck Farming Village
The question was asked cautiously.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Of course, I want both. You can send all the duck eggs from your home here in the future."
"Oh, really?!" The two slapped their thighs, overjoyed, "Is this true? How many do you want?"
Zhou Guo had no choice but to confirm it again.
The man said excitedly: "We don't know how much you have collected. We still have a lot of duck eggs at home that we haven't brought with us."
Zhou Guo hurriedly asked for their address. For such a big client, she had to send a special car to collect the goods. Otherwise, how long would it take to carry the goods one load at a time?
"Next time I will just have someone pick them up at my house, so you don't have to carry the eggs back and forth from such a long distance, which is tiring and also delays the work at home."
Hearing her say this, the two were even happier. "That's great. There are many people in our village who raise ducks. Although they don't raise as many as we do, almost every household has a few. When you go there, you can collect more."
Zhou Guo was very happy. It turned out to be a duck-raising village. That was good.
As the weather gets hotter recently, the dish of cold-boiled preserved eggs has become more and more popular.
Because of the addition of tender tofu, the demand for eggs from Shopkeeper Yang is increasing day by day. At the beginning, the eggs sold to him were used up in fifteen days. Later, the same number were used up in ten days. Now, he receives a letter in less than ten days.
It can be seen that this dish is becoming more and more popular.
Shopkeeper Qin also needed more orders, and she also taught him how to make century egg and lean meat porridge. Now the amount of eggs he needed was no less than that of Shopkeeper Yang.
It’s just that the other two provincial capitals are a bit troublesome. They are so far away, and it’s not cost-effective to make a trip just for a few preserved eggs.
She planned to give them more eggs next time she delivered flower mushrooms and sheep mushrooms, two thousand eggs to each place, so that they could be used for a longer time. Anyway, these things were not easy to spoil.
This time, more than 600 eggs were collected.
Wu Jiangxi said happily: "Master, it would be great if there were so many eggs every day. Unfortunately, the people around here don't raise many ducks, so there are not enough duck eggs."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "The two who just came said that everyone in their village raises ducks. You should take a few people to take a look there tomorrow. Bring two more cars. If there are too many, take them back. This batch of pickled ducks should be sent to the four prefectures. Together with the flower mushrooms and goat mushrooms, you should send more to them."
The next day, Zhou Guo worked in the fields all day. By the time Wu Jiang and others drove back, it was almost noon.
Wu Jiang came over here with a smile, and she knew at a glance that he must have had a good harvest.
Sure enough, before she opened her mouth, Wu Jiang said, "Master, there are indeed many families raising ducks over there, some with more and some with less. We have collected more than 1,400 duck eggs today. There are also families raising ducks in several nearby villages, about ten households in each village."
Zhou Guo buried the pulled grass in the rice roots and asked curiously, "Who are they going to sell all those ducks to? Aren't they worried about selling them?"
Wu Jiang said: "I asked the family that raised the most ducks. Guess why they could raise so many ducks? It turned out that their son went out to do business a few years ago. After a few years, he came back and learned the skill of making roast duck from somewhere. He set up a stall in the county to sell roast duck. As time went by, the roast duck business gradually became popular. People felt that it was not cost-effective to buy ducks from other places, so they simply raised ducks themselves. Then every household in their village followed suit and raised ducks, and they could make a lot of money every year."
Zhou Guo stood up from the field. "A place that sells roast duck? There is only one place that sells roast duck in the county. The taste is not bad, but it is not tasty at all. Could it be that place?"
Wu Jiang smiled and said, "You guessed right, it really is that company."
Zhou Guo couldn't figure it out. "I don't know where the stall owner learned his skills. He has the nerve to set up a stall with such poor skills. I don't think his business is very good."
Wu Jiang said: "So, the family only raises about 200 ducks and dare not raise more. People in the village also dare not raise more because they know that they can't sell them well."
Zhou Guo nodded and bent down to pull weeds again. "I see. We don't care about that. We just want their eggs. Go back and take the people to pickle all the eggs collected in the past two days into preserved eggs."
After he left, she continued to weed, and occasionally came across a few crabs. She had always taken care of the two acres of land by herself.
The yield is getting higher every year, and it looks like this year will be higher than last year. Half of the rice seeds in the village come from these two acres of land, and the rice seeds for the more than ten acres of land at home also come from these two acres of land. We can't be careless at all.
In the afternoon, after finishing her meal, she was about to go to the fields again, but before she could leave the house, she was blocked by someone at the door.
A woman dressed in red and green and with a big flower on her head smiled and said as soon as she saw her: "Hey, isn't this the second daughter of the Zhou family? What are you going to do?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, who are you here to propose marriage to today?"
Matchmaker Wang flicked her handkerchief and said with a smile, "Who are you going to matchmake with? Of course, it's for your brother and sister. Don't worry, just wait. Once I've settled your brother and sister's affairs, I'll definitely match you with a very good family, so that all the girls in the surrounding villages will be jealous of you."
Zhou Guo waved his hand and said, "Don't do that. Don't bring disaster to other people's families, or they will cause trouble for you. Don't even think about being a matchmaker anymore."
Matchmaker Wang said, "Look at what you said. How can you harm others? Who in the surrounding villages doesn't know your family? I don't know your name, Zhou Guo. I don't know how many people have asked me about you and wanted to take you back as their daughter-in-law."
Zhou Guo let her in and moved a stool for her.
She continued, "Well, well, well, the threshold of our house is almost broken. I have been a matchmaker all my life, and I have never met such a beloved child, but..."
She snorted, put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't you see what kind of family they are from? How dare they ask you to be their daughter-in-law? Even if they line up, it won't be their turn!"
Zhou Guo's mouth twitched. Seeing Li coming out of the house, he hurriedly said, "Mom, Aunt Wang is here again."
Li brought two plates of cakes and a pot of tea, and said with a smile, "Sister Wang, do you have any good news?"
Zhou Guo refused to leave and moved a small stool to sit openly nearby.
Li glanced at her but didn't drive her away. She thought it would be nice to listen.
Matchmaker Wang ate a piece of cake, drank a cup of tea, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and then smiled and said, "Of course I have it. How could I come to your house if I didn't? This is great news!"
Li was very happy, "I wonder if it's our big Mao who has good news or our big girl who has news?"
Matchmaker Wang flicked her handkerchief with pride, "I have found the right one for you. I guarantee you will be satisfied. I have introduced at least 80 families to you before, but you didn't like any of them. I guarantee you will like them now. Both families are good, with good families and nice people!"
