Liu Hao patted his head. He really didn’t think that much.

Did he think sows only give birth once a year?

"Brother Tian, ​​you see I'm confused. It's okay, I'll tell them next time I come to pick up the piglets. You can sell me any piglets you have in the future."

Tian Laosi just said this casually, he didn't expect Liu Hao to be so generous.

I secretly rejoiced again in my heart that I had really met a big customer.

You have to hold your thighs tightly.

"Would you like to take some of these chicks back tomorrow? Our village is considered a large breeding village nearby. There are several families in the village that hatch chicks. They all have family-inherited skills. The survival rate is very high."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Tian Si to introduce me to them."

Tian Laosi originally wanted to help the village sell chicks, but he didn't want others to take over his business. The four brothers in his family have not yet separated, and there are two younger sisters in the family who are old enough to get married. The drought in the northwest in the past two years has more or less affected the family.

Originally, he just wanted to hatch more chicks at home so that he could secretly take them away. Other families in the village were really afraid that too many chicks would affect his business.

I just mentioned it casually. After all, they have already signed the contract and they can't go back on their word now.

In this case, he is still happy to help the villagers.

"No problem. I'll take you to my second uncle's house. My second uncle said before that several hens have been brooding this year and have stopped laying eggs. He doesn't dare to let them hatch too many chicks. It would be a pity to kill them. If you can really get so many chicks, it would be great. To be honest, after I signed the contract with you to send the chicks, I also wanted to secretly help my second uncle's family. If you don't mind, I'll take you to see it right away. There should be quite a few chicks at home now."

Liu Hao didn't think it was a big deal. It just so happened that they needed it, and it was like a pillow for sleepiness: "Okay, let's go see how many chickens your second uncle has."

"I went to check yesterday and there were about 70 or 80 of them. I think they sold some of them today. I don't know how many are left."

Liu Hao thought that if he had half of them, it should be a lot. He could collect a little more from the village and raise about a hundred chicks in the first batch. He could then gradually increase the number of chicks later on. This way, there would be continuity. The chicks in the front would grow up and be sold, and the ones in the back would grow up after a while, so there would be chicks growing up continuously.

"Brother Tian, ​​let's go to your second uncle's house first, and then go to the village. This time I plan to take a hundred chickens with me."

Liu Hao didn't know how many times a hen could lay eggs in a year. In modern society, scientific breeding has long been adopted and chicks can be hatched all year round.

He didn't know the details either. He should have asked Uncle Liu earlier. Liu Hao looked at Tian Lao Si with regret, "Brother Tian Si, how many times can this hen lay eggs in a year?"

"It depends on the specific situation. Some hens may hatch two or three times, some four or five times, and some may hatch seven or eight times. But we usually let them hatch twice, once in spring and once in autumn. If we hatch more than that, we can't sell them. Ordinary people don't want hens to sit on eggs, which will affect their egg storage. Eggs are in great demand in the county."

Yes, eggs are consumables and sell quickly.

"Brother Tian, ​​what I'm saying is, if I sign a contract with you and you buy 100 to 150 chicks for our family every month, what would you be willing to do? The price for the chicks will still be five cents each. Whether they are your own or someone else's, I'll give you this price."

Tian Laosi was a smart man who often moved around the county town and town. If he spread the news that he usually collected chicks, there should be many people in the village willing to hatch more chicks. After all, eggs usually cost one to two cents each, so there would be no problem for him to collect chicks at four cents each.

If chicks are hatched, the number can be doubled, and it won't take much more time. It just takes a little effort to feed the hens. Children at home can do it, and there must be many people in the village who are willing to do it.

"Haozi, thank you for taking care of me. Of course I am willing to do that. Come on, go home and talk to me slowly. I will ask my family to go to the village to collect chickens for you. I promise to collect 100 chickens."

Tian Laosi took Liu Hao home directly and drove the ox cart into his yard.

Tian Laosi and his three older brothers have separated. His parents live with his eldest brother. The yard they live in now is at the very edge of a row of houses. Tian Laosi introduced that the houses next to his house are his three older brothers.

The partition wall of the house is still connected to the other house, but it is separated by a fence in the middle. Each house has its own small yard. You can see the situation in the yard next door by standing on tiptoe.

"The relationship between the four of us brothers is pretty good, and we don't have any major conflicts. There are some people in the village who are biased and don't live together after the family splits up. It's also because our family is united that we are not bullied in the village, and we help each other, so our life in the village is pretty good."

"The Tian family is one of the most common families in our village. There are two other families, and the rest are small families that joined the village later. However, since it is relatively close to the county town, the villagers generally have a decent life. As long as they are not lazy people like second-rate people, they can find some work in the city and their family life will not be too bad."

"Dad, you're back..." A little boy of four or five years old ran out of the house, hugged Tian Laosi's thighs, and looked up at Liu Hao, a stranger.

"This is my youngest son Tian Hai, he is four years old. I also have an older son who is ten years old and an older daughter who is seven years old."

People at this time really get married and have children early.

"This is Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu..."

"Uncle Liu..."

The little boy was very obedient. Liu Hao didn't know what to do at this time, so he took out two copper coins and handed them to him, "Uncle came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. Take this and sell some candy."

"Haozi, don't be so polite..." Tian Laosi refused without even thinking.

"Brother Tian, ​​this is for the child, please don't despise it..."

Liu Hao grabbed the child's hand and put it in. The little boy was quite polite. Although he was holding the copper coin, he still looked at his father. Tian Lao Si nodded, "Okay, go play."

A woman came out from the side room next door. Her belly was already very big. "Fourth brother, are there guests at home?"

"Qionghua, this is Brother Liu Hao. I'll kill a chicken and cook some more food tonight. I'll also clean up Xiaojiang's room. Haozi will stay here tonight."

The woman nodded at Liu Hao and said, "Okay, I'll have Dajiang clean up when he comes back."

After saying that, he turned and went back to the side room.

"Haozi, my family has three children now, and your sister-in-law is pregnant with another one. Although our family lives well, there are only so many good farmlands in our village. It is impossible to support a family by farming, so every household in our village has to think of other ways to make a living."

"Brother Tian, ​​every family lives this way. As long as the family is together, it is the best life."

"Haozi is right. You are not young anymore. The three years of famine have delayed you. When things are stable, find a wife and have a few children. Life will get better. Sit for a while. I will go find my three brothers and ask them to go to the village to collect chickens for you. You can take them away tomorrow morning."
