Chapter 615: Many Skills Are Better than Nothing
"Of course, it will definitely be a bit tiring, but as long as you can make money, what's the point of worrying about hard work? People in our village go out in the wind and rain every day, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and the summer sun makes their backs bald. Dark and dark, that’s really hard work.
"Even so, why don't you all still work hard? Who is willing to sit idle at home? Everything you do is hard, and it's worth it as long as there are rewards. Isn't this what my mother has always taught us?"
Being so educated by this brat, Bai Yunxi looked at him, dumbfounded.
"You bastard, you dare to preach to my mother. What I mean is that our family is just starting out, so it's not suitable to take in too much. I'm afraid it won't be taken care of, and in the end it will be a cakewalk. Do you think I am willing to spend more money to purchase ducklings? Isn't that right? If you’re too busy and can’t catch the last two, you’ll suffer a big loss.”
Listening to his mother's reminder, Xiao Si scratched his head, paced back and forth in the living room, and then kicked his foot violently.
"Mom, let's do this. In the first year, we will purchase duck seedlings and raise the ducks. Once we collect the duck eggs, we will hatch them ourselves. We will not waste money by using our own duck eggs to hatch the duck seedlings."
The more Xiao Si talked about it, the more he felt that his method was better, and his eyes shone like silver.
Seeing Xiao Si's high-spirited appearance, Bai Yunxi had to admit that this boy was indeed gifted in business.
"Your suggestion is a good one. Using your own duck eggs to hatch duck seedlings is like a cycle. It's really not bad, but I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. Anyway, they say you don't have enough time to do your job. If you have time, I'll pass on the skill of hatching duck seedlings to you. for you."
When Xiao Si heard this, he immediately became energetic and immediately patted his chest and promised,
"Don't worry, mother, as long as you pass on your skills to me, I will definitely learn it seriously and learn it thoroughly. I will definitely be able to save money on ducklings."
Regardless of whether he can do it successfully or not, this kid is very energetic.
Hatching ducklings is not an easy job, especially in a place where everything is done manually. The hard work can only be appreciated by doing it.
Bai Yunxi didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, but he had to emphasize the hard work and persistence to him again.
"You have to persevere in everything from the beginning. If you give up halfway or stop midway, my mother will chase you with a rolling pin."
When Xiao Si heard this, he subconsciously jumped back and turned to look at the erected bolt on the back of the door. The scene of his mother exercising with it immediately appeared in his mind, and his heart trembled violently.
Although my mother is usually easy to talk to, if she really makes a mistake and is found out, she might not be able to save her legs.
"Don't worry, Mom, I promise not to give up halfway. As long as it's about making money, my son is very active. Besides, who would mind having too much money? It's just a little bit more hard work. As long as you can make money, no matter how hard or tired you are, you won't be afraid. "
Xiao Si patted his chest and promised that at the same time, he suddenly came back to his senses and stared at Baiyun Xi curiously.
"Mom, when did you learn to hatch ducklings? Why didn't I know you had this skill before?"
This craft can make money as soon as you hear it. Didn't they start making money earlier?
Baiyunxi was not surprised at all when he heard Xiaosi's inquiry.
"Actually, it's nothing. I read about hatching duck seedlings from a book. Out of curiosity, I tried it at home. Unexpectedly, it actually worked. You were still young at that time, so it's understandable that you can't remember. You Mom, I’m smart, there’s nothing I can’t do.”
Baiyunxi raised his chin slightly, full of arrogance.
As for the hatching thing, Baiyun Xi still has it in his memory.
The original owner wanted the old hen to raise a brood of chickens, but for some reason, the old hen gave up after half the time.
The original owner had no choice but to cover the half-hatched egg with a quilt. In order to maintain the temperature, a few hotpots were poured around it, and when it got cold, the hot water was replaced, which was a lot of worry.
Not to mention, two chickens did hatch in the end, and the rest also broke their shells. I don’t know whether they were left to dry or for other reasons, but they all died after breaking their shells.
The original owner had been paying attention to the whole process and was in a very low mood. Because of this, the original owner was laughed at by Lao Juren and said that her hard work was in vain.
After all, there were two chickens, which proved that her efforts were not in vain, but it was a pity that the two chickens could not be raised. The original owner was depressed when he looked at the dead chickens.
The old man brought ten chickens from the third uncle's house to make her happy, and the matter was over.
Seeing her mother lost in memories, with a smile on her lips, Xiaosi scratched her head. Judging from her mother's expression, she must be right.
"Really? I really haven't noticed it. Maybe it's because I'm too young?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Anyan walked in with a smile.
"You are right. You were still young at that time, and my mother did hatch a few chickens by herself. Unfortunately, due to the sudden change of weather, the two chickens froze to death. My mother was very sad about this, and in the end it was us. Dad needs to bring back a few from the third grandma’s house to comfort mom so she won’t be sad..."
Before the second child could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Yunxi.
"Ahem~, An Yan, what are you talking about? Are you sad? It's just a pity that the chickens that were finally hatched were not raised due to negligence. It's normal to be sad."
Although she was talking about the original owner's embarrassment, now she is carrying this body, and it is the same as talking about her.
What if I am being teased by my son at my old age, which damages my majesty?
"Okay, I'll sort it out later and teach you how to hatch ducklings." With that said, Baiyunxi got up and returned to his house.
"Second brother, you actually still remember the time when my mother hatched chickens. Please teach me how to do it so that I can have fun too. It's a pity that I don't have any memory at all."
After walking far away, Bai Yunxi still heard Xiao Si pestering Lao Er to talk about past events. She shrugged her shoulders helplessly, pushed the door open and entered her room.
Xiaosi is an activist and said he was going to the county to inquire about the ducklings. The next morning, Xiao Si got up early, wiped the inside and outside of the oxcart, and then put on the bedding, waiting to set off after dinner.
Seeing how active he was, Bai Yunxi greeted Wenyou, and the three of them took a bullock cart and set off to the county.
After winter, the weather gradually becomes colder, and the surrounding fields and distant hillsides can be seen clearing the mist.
Baiyunxi sat in the car, wrapped in a quilt, and only saw the rising sun halfway through.
I got the address given by my cousin, and after asking around for two hours, I finally stood in front of the incubation workshop.
Xiao Si went to knock on the door.
Knock knock knock~
"Here, here, who are you looking for?" The person who opened the door was a young man of eighteen or nineteen. He looked at Baiyunxi and his party and asked curiously.
"Is this the Zhao family? Let's ask about hatching duck seedlings." Xiao Si smiled and said Qian, explaining his purpose.
"Yes, this is my house, come in and talk." The young man opened the door and invited Bai Yunxi to come in and talk.
Wenyou stayed outside to look at the car. She didn't understand and wasn't good at discussing business, so she didn't go in to cause trouble.
