After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Fan Qiye looked at the old village chief in surprise.

The old village chief has always been prudent in doing things, not seeking speed but stability. Their family's good life has been achieved step by step step by step. Why are they talking big now?

"I've asked about cows before. Even the kind that takes a few years to raise a calf costs about ten taels of silver. We don't have that kind of money."

Cows are much more valuable than humans!

Mr. Wang also has a passion for livestock. To be honest, which farmer doesn’t want to have an animal of his own?

On weekdays, it can carry people and goods, and during busy farming times, it can even carry two or three strong laborers!

It's just that even a donkey, which is not as good as an ox, costs seven or eight taels of silver. Seven or eight taels of silver can buy a wife for the baby at home. If the money is used to buy a donkey, the baby can't live with the donkey, right?

Thinking of this, he also said: "Although we have income from selling rabbits now, there is no income from the fields this year, and all the food for the family comes from those rabbits.

Besides, how can a person eat whole grains without getting sick? If there are three illnesses in a large family, and he needs to see a doctor and get medicine, wouldn’t it cost money? Although the rabbit makes money, it can't spend it all. "

Father Xu, who was the first to speak, did not think as much as Mr. Fan Qi and Mr. Wang. He agreed with the old village chief: "If we buy it, we will buy it! It is much easier to loosen people if we have livestock. If we cultivate more land, won't the harvest be higher?" Doesn’t a high harvest mean more money?

We don’t buy expensive cattle, we just buy cheap donkeys. The big harvest might be enough to buy donkeys! "

Mr. Wang was old. He snorted, looked at Mr. Xu and asked, "How much can we get from one acre of winter wheat?"

"The best time is three to four hundred catties, and the worst case is less than two hundred catties."

"How about rice?"

"Not bad at all." We are all farmers, and the harvests in the fields have long been rotten in our hearts. What we are familiar with is no longer familiar.

That's why they attach so much importance to potatoes, even if they use the corn flour that they are reluctant to eat at home to trade them for sowing seeds.

Daddy Xu just doesn't understand why Mr. Wang is asking these questions? It’s not like he doesn’t know!

Besides, they were talking about buying a donkey.

Mr. Wang settled the accounts for him in a leisurely manner: "The potato harvest is high, but outsiders have never eaten it and we have not sold it. We don't know how many we will sell, and we don't know if we can sell it.

But we know about rice and wheat. Let's calculate it as three hundred catties. After paying the tax, it is less than two hundred catties. The purchase price of grain merchants is only one tael more and less than two taels of silver. A donkey is seven or eight taels of silver. That is At least the entire harvest of four or five acres of fertile land!

That's all. Can you tell me how much more it takes each time to earn back these seven or eight taels of silver? More than half of the family's harvest was used to buy a donkey. If something happened, it would be hard to survive. "

Every time Mr. Wang said something, Mr. Xu's head lowered.

Now, Father Xu only thinks that it is amazing to be able to settle accounts. He doesn't know how to refute every argument he makes when they quarrel.

Fan Qiye sighed.

Looking at the silent old village chief, he still trusted the old village chief. He had never been a big talker. Did he think of the 'big talk' just now?

Thinking this in his mind, he asked directly: "Old village chief, have you thought about it?"

There is no need to hide and tuck away people who have been together in the same village for decades.

The old village chief nodded, "After the potatoes are harvested, even if they can't be sold, there will be enough food for the whole family. Moreover, this food is more delicious than black noodles, and it is not bad compared with corn noodles. The rice, wheat, and ground in the fields The corns and beans inside can be freed up and sold;

We can produce about three or five rabbits in ten days and a half, which means we can earn four to five hundred cash in half a month, nearly one tael of silver in a month, and we can buy a donkey in less than ten months. "

Father Xu's eyes shone brightly, and he thought it was even more amazing to be able to settle accounts!

How can the same account be calculated completely differently from the old village chief?

Makes people full of hope!

The old village chief looked at the donkeys in the field and said leisurely: "My eldest daughter-in-law and the guy who came into the boy's house asked before that her piglets are willing to be sold. Our family is thinking of buying two or three piglets to raise. A pig can earn a few coins from slaughter;

Besides, I was thinking, since pigs can buy piglets, can donkeys do the same? Donkeys also eat grass. When we buy them, we have to spend some effort cutting the grass. We don't need to spend more money, but we can save a lot of money. "

Father Xu nodded happily like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, you are right!"

Mr. Wang sighed, he really couldn't bear to attack them but he had to say: "To be honest with you, I have thought about it before and even asked about it.

The people at Yahang said that there are no donkeys for sale, and even if there are, the price will not be much cheaper. They have already thought of what we can think of. "

Otherwise, everyone will buy the cubs, but who will buy the adult donkeys? If you don't buy it, the price will be lowered. If the price of an adult donkey is lower, then the price of a donkey will also be lower. Businessmen are not stupid. They are much smarter than them. How can they do anything that makes them lose money?

Father Xu raised his eyes blankly, feeling that his mood had fluctuated greatly in this short period of time.

Despair for a while, hope for a while, hope for a while and despair for a while...

"We are different now from before." The old village chief's lips turned up, and there was obvious joy in his old eyes: "Of the ten donkeys that enter the boy's house, there should be a female donkey. The one in his family works in a grand manner. If there is The donkey should also be willing to sell it to us."

Father Xu was obviously more cautious this time and did not dare to get his hopes up too quickly.

Mr. Wang's equally old eyes shone brightly!

I was so excited that my hands trembled slightly.

The same is true for Mr. Fan Qi, but "I'm afraid it will take two or three years for the donkey to grow up."

"You can wait for decades, so why not wait for two or three years?"

The other three thought it was indeed the case!

Some people may at least have hope if they wait, but they may not even have any hope of waiting.

"By the way, what did you say about the little piglet?"

"Is your family planning to raise pigs?"

"How to buy it? I want to raise it too."

The old village chief looked at his old friends and sighed, "How about we go to the boy's house and ask?"

After all, you have to ask about the donkey boy in person.

The other three people immediately agreed and headed to the clear water in high spirits.

Shui Qing did not expect that the eldest elderly people in the village would come to see her.

After reacting, he raised his voice and shouted: "Late Xia, pour four cups of tea."

"Late Xia?" Zhaodi changed his name?

Shui Qing originally wanted to use this to let the oldest person in the village know Wan Xia's new name. He replied with a clear smile: "Well, the new name given by the head of the family sounds better to me than Zhaodi, and Wan Xia is also very good. Change it if you like it.”

What the four of them were thinking about was not only that it sounded better than recruiting a younger brother, but also that they valued it.

Looking at the little girl bringing water, she was wearing sky blue muslin clothes with clean and fresh hair. She brought tea and invited them to drink tea in a generous manner. It was completely different from the obedient and hunchbacked people in the past memories.
