The all-round housekeeper is a stick

After eating two sweet potatoes, Lin Jianhua decided to take the porridge into the living room. Lin Mumu followed him there. Although it wasn't hot in the morning, the kitchen was hot. And there were no chairs in the kitchen.

Lin Mumu carried the rice, sweet potatoes and eggs into the living room and ate her breakfast very attentively.

Seeing the sweet potato skins peeled by Lin Mumu on the table, Lin Jianhua thought that this little girl actually peeled the skins before eating. There were no sweet potatoes to eat in the countryside, but now she peeled the skins before eating them in the city!

I also thought about whether I could let her raise a few chickens in the yard so that the skins wouldn't be wasted and I could add some meat to the family.

"We don't steam or boil sweet potatoes every day at home. Besides, we never have leftovers. Now that we have chickens, what do we feed them when we're not steaming sweet potatoes?"

The first time Lin Mumu cooked sweet potatoes, she peeled them before cooking. Lin Huaiyu didn't say anything during the meal, but only told her not to waste the skin after they finished eating. She told him not to peel the skin next time.

Later, when Lin Mumu cooked, he would only peel a small piece of the shrimp for himself, and he would just wash and cut the others.

As for raising chickens... Lin Mumu disagreed. It didn't matter if the yard was big enough or if there was room for chickens. She was already busy with all the housework, so if she raised chickens, wouldn't she still be the one taking care of them and cleaning?

It's such a hot day, and her door faces the yard. Do you want to stink her to death?

In the countryside, you can't escape living next to chickens, so she raises chickens in the city. She is not stupid.

After getting up and leaving the room, Lin Huaiyu was a little moved by her husband's words. He asked Lin Mumu to raise chickens, and when she gave birth in two or three months, she could kill the chickens for her confinement.

If you raise your own fish, you can kill one whenever you want to eat it. Otherwise, if you buy it outside, it may not be available and it is expensive. After all, you can't eat as much as you raise your own fish, right?

"Where should I keep them? Aren't you afraid they'll die from the sun if I keep them in the yard in this weather? Aren't you afraid of the smell if I keep them in the bathroom or toilet? Aren't you afraid of the hassle of having to move the chickens out of the yard just to use the bathroom or take a shower?"

"If you have a small number of chickens, you can keep them in a coop and move them at any time, but if you have too many, you have to build a house."

"Also, you can let me raise chickens, but I have to pay them. If there are less than three chickens, I get 3 cents a day to feed them, and 1 cents a day to clean them. If there are more than three but less than ten chickens, I get 2 cents a day to feed them, and 3 yuan a day to clean them."

"Let's calculate it as 3 days over three months. Calculate the cost of feeding three chicks. Multiply 100 times 3 days, which is 3 yuan. Add the money you spend on the chicks and feed. How many chickens can I buy with that?"

A chicken costs about 5 yuan outside. Not counting other things, the wages for raising less than 3 chickens are enough to buy 6.

"It's so hot, buying chicks now is not only hard to keep alive. If a chicken dies, it's not just one that dies; it's easy for a whole flock to die. If there's a chicken plague in this hot weather, not only will the chickens die, but it might also bring harm to people."

"With so many factors combined, would you still raise it?"

Lin Jianhua had given up the idea of raising chickens when Lin Mumu talked about her wages.

For 30 yuan, you can buy several by going directly to the market.

If you raise too few chickens, the cages will cost money; if you raise too many, building a chicken coop will also cost money.

Not cost-effective, not cost-effective!

Lin Huaiyu was wondering how much it would cost to raise 10 chickens. For 100 days, feeding them would cost 50 yuan, and cleaning would cost 100 yuan.

Why doesn't this damn girl go and rob it?

What a heartless girl! She's so lazy that she even charges wages just for raising chickens! Doesn't she eat the chickens she raises after killing them?

He really is here to collect a debt!

Because Lin Mumu's "wages" were too expensive, Lin Huaiyu and Lin Jianhua subconsciously ignored the fact that raising chickens not only required buying chicks, but also the expenses of setting up chicken coops and chicken feed.

All I remember is that Lin Mumu Lion asked for money. They couldn't afford it, so they stopped raising him.

After breakfast, Lin Huaiyu called her two sons to go grocery shopping with her. She had to buy some vegetables that would keep well, like radishes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins. They were long-lasting and filling. With three men in the family feeding, these were too few; the food wouldn't last long.

As for her, she would buy two more pounds of meat later, one pound to keep at home, and one pound to take back to her parents' home. She would take some meat back so that her old lady could make her some meat sauce and rice.

After the Lin family members left, Lin Mumu also went out.

Today it was Yi Changshan's turn to take the child to his parents' house, so when Lin Mumu arrived, Yi Changshan had already left, but Liu Yan was still there.

Liu Yan and Lin Mumu talked about the bicycle being sold, and then talked about the tricycle.

"The cargo bed of the tricycle needs cut wooden boards. The materials you provided don't exist, so we can't make it." Lin Mumu has no carpentry skills. From what she has learned with the mallet in the past few days, plus the tricycles and bicycles she has made, the only skills she has honed are assembling and repairing vehicles.

As for why she said they were pre-cut wooden boards, it was because she didn't know how to use a saw to cut the boards herself, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to Tian Youlu's house to buy those wooden boards.

If they trade with wooden boards of different sizes, you can only make modifications to the applicable size.

"What size of wood do you want?" Liu Yan took out a pen and paper to write it down, and then find time at noon or in the evening to talk to her brother and the child's father about it.
