Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Chapter 88: Building a Shed to Raise Ducks and Geese

Wang Liu's eyes flashed with wisdom, and she said slowly: "Old man, you think, since they bought so many stores, they will definitely not let them sit idle. Considering the popularity of Jiang's snacks, I guess they may want to expand their business. Jiang's snacks are now deeply loved by the people. If this advantage can be expanded to more stores, won't they make more money?"

Shopkeeper Wang's eyes lit up, as if he was enlightened by Wang Liu's words: "You mean, that expert plans to develop business in the town?"

"That's right." Wang Liu smiled and nodded. "And, if I'm guessing correctly, that expert may have already had a complete plan to turn Yunwu Town into a prosperous commercial center."

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang finally cleared up his doubts. He sighed and said, "So, isn't our town going to have a commercial boom? This is a great thing!"

Wang Liu also nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed a good thing for the people in our town. Maybe we can get a share of it."

"Grandpa, we should make some plans for Lin'er." Wang Liu gritted her teeth and decided, "We still have some savings left over the years, let's use them to buy a store!"

When talking about his son Lin'er, Wang's eyes flashed with worry. Suddenly, he thought of Hongyu.

"Old woman, I met Hongyu." Shopkeeper Wang said softly.

Wang Liu was stunned for a moment, then she held Shopkeeper Wang's hand tightly and asked excitedly, "Yu'er? Where is she? Is she doing well? Did you tell her that I miss her? Why didn't she come to see me?"

Shopkeeper Wang nodded and replied, "She is in Fenglou in the county town and is now the shopkeeper there. Yu'er is the shopkeeper in Fenglou in the state capital. They are both very busy, so they don't have time to come and see you."

Wang Liu was very pleased to hear this, as she knew the two children had been working hard. However, when she thought of her son Lin'er, her heart became heavy again, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Old woman..." Shopkeeper Wang felt very upset when he saw his wife like this. He knew that it must be because of Lin'er's incident that she felt sad.

Wang Liu wiped her tears, shook her head, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

next morning

The Jiang family courtyard was unusually lively. Jiang Xue had released two wild boars into the courtyard before dawn. By the time Butcher Zhang got up, the two wild boars had already been pulled onto the pig unloading table.

There were also several large basins of steaming hot water placed at the door, waiting for Butcher Zhang.

Butcher Zhang slept a little longer last night because of the alcohol. He felt a little sorry, but more of admiration for Jiang Xue's ability. He walked quickly into the room where he slept last night, took out the tools for slaughtering pigs, and prepared to start his work.

"Butcher Zhang, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Xue's voice came. She came back from her morning run with Jiang Chen and others, her face full of vigor and vitality. Looking at the busy Jiang Xue, Butcher Zhang couldn't help but feel respect in his heart. He had misunderstood her before, thinking that she bought the pigs from somewhere else, but now he realized that these wild boars were hunted by Jiang Xue herself.

"It's not hard, Miss Jiang." Butcher Zhang responded and speeded up his movements.

Jiang Xue turned around and led Jiang Feng and others to the fish pond. She had already planned the purpose of the fish pond. Not only would she raise fish, she would also reserve a space for raising ducks. But the number of ducks was not enough, so she asked Chen Dazhuang and others to help buy ducklings in the town and deliver them every day.

By the fish pond, Jiang Xue, Jiang Feng and others were busy driving the ducks and geese to the designated location.

These little animals playing in the water add a bit of life and vigor to the originally quiet fish pond.

Bai Yufeng stood on the dam of the fish pond, his eyes attracted by the paving stones, which were so smooth that there was hardly any trace of them. Such materials and craftsmanship were rare in the countryside. He couldn't help but be surprised at Jiang Xue's ability and vision again.

"Sanniu, you're here!" Jiang Dashan's loud voice broke the silence around him and interrupted Bai Yufeng's thoughts. He turned around and saw Jiang Dashan walking towards him with a warm smile on his face.

"The foundation has been dug. You can go and take a look when you have time." Jiang Dashan's words made Bai Yufeng feel relieved. He knew that his next work would become smoother.

Jiang Xue came forward and handed the four drawings to Bai Yufeng, and asked him to go to the locations marked on the drawings when he had time. Bai Yufeng nodded and took the drawings. He knew that this would be a new challenge.

"Okay, I'll get busy." Bai Yufeng turned around and prepared to leave, but Jiang Xue called him, "Come to my house for lunch at noon." Bai Yufeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, turned around and strode away.

Jiang Xue and Jiang Feng stood in front of the newly built duck shed, looking at the shelters prepared for ducks and geese. Jiang Feng asked curiously, "Now that the shelters for ducks and geese are built, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Xue smiled and replied, "Keep them. Keep more. I'm going to open a gourmet food store later. Of course I'm going to open a store if I buy so many shops!"

Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Xue in surprise, "How much did you buy?"

Jiang Xue said casually: "Not many, only a few dozen."

Jiang Feng's eyes widened. Dozens of shops were an astronomical number in the countryside. He couldn't help but admire Jiang Xue's determination and courage.

''......''

Jiang Xue looked at the group of ducklings shivering in the cold wind and felt a little worried. She knew that such weather was a huge test for these young lives.

"Brother, do you have any straw?" Jiang Xue turned to Jiang Dashan with a hint of urgency in her tone.

"Yes, I'll get it right away." Jiang Dashan responded immediately and turned around to tell others to get straw.

"Brother, take everyone to the duck pen and lay a thick layer of straw. I'll go to the village entrance to take a look." Jiang Xue made arrangements quickly. She knew that the most important thing now was to provide the ducklings with enough warmth.

After explaining, Jiang Xue separated from Jiang Feng and the others. Just a few steps apart, the three elders of the clan came one after another. When they saw Jiang Xue busy, they asked with concern: "Sanniu, it's too cold today, are these ducks okay?"

Jiang Xue looked back at the elders with a grateful smile on her face. "Duck, I've asked my eldest brother to take Grandpa and the others to spread hay. They just left. I'm going to the village head now and check out the location of the factory."

After hearing what Jiang Xue said, the elders nodded with confidence: "Okay, we old men will just go for a stroll, you can just go about your business, don't worry about us."

Jiang Xue looked at the elders with gratitude, then led Jiang Chen and others to the village entrance.

Jiangjia Village

The wind was howling, and the rape flowers at the village entrance seemed like they would be blown over at any time. Jiang Xue took a deep breath, and the air in front of her was instantly condensed into mist by the cold wind.

She stood at the edge of the field, looking intently at the rape flowers that had just been planted a few days ago.

Despite the bad weather, these rape flowers appear to be unusually vibrant, with a few occasionally blooming proudly, as if declaring war on the cold wind.

After a while, someone pulled a ox cart slowly towards the village not far away.

Lin San, a villager from Taohua Village who was delivering wood, complained about the sudden change in the weather as he walked: "Hiss! The weather got cold so suddenly. It was still sunny yesterday, but how come it suddenly got cold in the middle of the night? It's really weird."

Jiang Xue smiled helplessly and replied, "Isn't the weather always like this?"

Lin San was stunned. He didn't expect anyone to answer. He turned to look at Jiang Xue standing by the field and asked in confusion, "It's so cold, why are you here instead of going home?"

Jiang Xue smiled awkwardly. She also wanted to go home, but the work was not yet done. Just as she was about to explain, Jiang Dazhuang came from behind and shouted as he walked, "Brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time. What are you doing here!"

Seeing Jiang Dazhuang, Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head and said, "Let me take a look at the land over here."

Jiang Dazhuang became excited when he heard this topic: "I heard from the head of the village that you bought that piece of land! I heard that the mountain was given to you."

Jiang Xue smiled awkwardly and didn't respond. Lin San, who was standing by, couldn't help but look at Jiang Xue with new eyes after hearing this.

He originally thought that this was just an ordinary farm girl, but after hearing what Jiang Dazhuang said, he realized that this girl might be no simple person.

He began to wonder what kind of background this girl had, to be able to buy such a large piece of land in such a short time, and even get a gift from the mountain.

Suddenly, Lin San thought of what the head of Taohua Village said. He was moved and asked tentatively, "Are you the girl Jiang Xue that our head of Taohua Village was talking about?"

Jiang Xue didn't expect that the head of Taohua Village would mention her. She was a little surprised, but then she smiled with relief: "Do you know me?"

Lin San shook his head and explained, "You are very popular in your village. Different people come to Taohua Village to deliver wood every day, and your name is the one we hear the most. Everyone calls you the lucky star."

After hearing this, Jiang Dazhuang patted his chest proudly and said, "That Sanniu must be our lucky star!"

three days later

......

Shangjing Fengfu

Yesterday, Feng Mulin, the head of the Feng family, received a secret report from the secret guard and learned that his son Feng Qingyu would arrive in Shangjing today.

Therefore, he and his wife Feng Yu waited outside the city gate early in the morning, looking forward to welcoming his son's return.

Two days ago, all the rice purchased by the Feng family from various places had arrived safely at the private warehouse.

Feng Mulin personally checked the quality of the rice, was extremely satisfied with it, and took some home.
