Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

"There are probably at least 20 or 30 of them, all eating rice bran under the trees in the chicken farm!"

Fu Ming was beaming with joy as he talked about his past experiences.

"I just walked over and saw so many pheasants. I thought I was lucky today and was about to catch some, but Brother Ye Lin told me that they were all raised by Brother Ye Jun. I had no choice but to let them go."

Ye Lin poured them a few glasses of water and explained, "Those pheasants flew down after the New Year. There might not be much food in the mountains in winter. The chicken farm has rice bran every day. We even shot two of them when we first arrived.

Later, we realized there wasn't much meat, so we thought we'd wait until the pheasants were fattened up before eating them. Unexpectedly, the pheasants didn't even fatten up, but their numbers were actually increasing."

Li Chunhua was not surprised and took Ye Xiaoli from Fu Wan.

"There are more than just a lot of them. Those pheasants are not afraid of people now. Sometimes when Jun and I go to pick up eggs, they don't run away even when we get close to them. We can just reach out and catch them!"

These words hit the nail on the head for Fu Ming. He had just caught one, and it was indeed not challenging at all. The pheasant he raised was like a domestic chicken, very stupid.

"But there aren't many wild ducks, and after they finish eating they just fly off to the reeds. You two are pretty impressive, you actually caught two."

Jack didn't know whether he understood or not, he just grinned.

Robert was also very proud. This kind of wild duck was not the first time he had seen it. Wild ducks often appeared in old Robert's estate, so when Robert was a few years old, he had seen old Robert carrying a hunting rifle to catch wild ducks.

This wild duck is very beautiful. The male duck has a bright green head, a circle of white ruff on his neck, a chestnut chest, and black feathers on his back.

Compared with the bright colors of the male duck, the female duck's feathers are much more low-key, with black and brown feathers with fine stripes all over the body. This wild duck is also called Mallard or Mallard locally. In later generations, it is also a national protected animal.

Mallard duck network picture, infringement deleted. It really looks like the current domestic duck.

But that was several decades later. Mallards were the ancestors of domestic ducks, especially female ducks, which were basically identical to the domesticated shelducks of later generations.

Originally, Ye Jun was also worried about the pheasants and ducks that came to steal food, but since pheasants built nests and laid eggs in the chicken farm, he thought about it carefully and his headache was gone in an instant.

Although these pheasants and wild ducks ate the food he prepared for the chickens, ducks and geese, they also gave him something in return.

Those pheasant eggs and wild duck eggs were his reward. They were a little small, but that didn't stop him from using them to hatch chicks and ducklings.

Moreover, these pheasants and wild ducks are just as good as domestic chickens and ducks after they are raised, and people will buy them in the town.

Ye Jun's family knew about this, but Fu Ming and Jack and the others did not.

So as soon as they saw the mallards, they immediately picked up stones from the wall and threw them at them. It must be said that their aim was quite good, and they knocked down two of them in just two hits.

Seeing this, Ye Jun simply asked them to take it back and he would deal with the fence himself before coming over.

"Fortunately, the ducks are quite fat. I'll go boil some water and pluck them now!"

Li Chunhua quickly found a red silk cloth and carried Ye Xiaoli on his back. Ye Xiaoli was already used to it and soon fell asleep.

As he was speaking, Ye Jianguo, who had just gone out, came into the yard with two men.

The man was holding a basket of knives in his hand, and it was obvious that he was an expert at cutting pork.

"Hey, Jianguo, are there guests coming to your house today?"

"Oh, it's my nephew and niece, and their friends."

"Nephew? You must be Xiao Cui's kid, right? No wonder there's a jeep parked in front of your house!"

The two butchers were also brothers. Fu Wan and Fu Ming had seen them before and nodded quickly, calling them uncles.

Fu Ming had a cigarette on him, and when he saw this, he went up and gave one to each person.

After distributing them, there was still half a packet left, so he simply gave it to Ye Jianguo.

Ye Jianguo knew that Fu Ming didn't smoke, so he took it and put it in his pocket with peace of mind.

"Big Head, Second Head, we have to hurry, the villagers will be here to buy meat soon!"

"Well, let's start now!"

The two men put their cigarettes to their ears, raised their knives and cut off the pig's head.

Fu Wan looked frightened and turned into the kitchen.

"Awan, this wild duck is really good. Do you think I should make soup or braise it?"

Fu Wan thought for a moment and replied, "It's all right. There are two here, Aunt, you keep one and I'll take the other.

I won’t have dinner because I have to go back to pick up Lingling and the others from school in the evening!”

"What, no dinner!"

"How can you go back without having dinner?"

Li Chunhua raised her voice instantly, and Fu Wan was helpless and could only touch her nose and explain.

"Aunt, I want to eat too. I really need to hurry back to pick up the kids. It's been raining lately and it's hard to ride a bike. And today is the first day. If I don't pick them up, Lingling Mingzhu will make a fuss with me tonight."

Children also have tempers. It was finally their first day back to school, and Fu Wan had promised to pick them up after school when she sent them out in the morning.

Li Chunhua had no choice but to give up after hearing this. "Well, if you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. I'll clean up the duck later and you can take it back."

"And the peanuts I picked out. Your mother likes to eat these freshly dug peanuts the most. I washed them but haven't dried them yet. You can take them back later."

Fu Wan agreed repeatedly. As she was speaking, someone walked into the kitchen. When Fu Wan turned around, she found that it was Ye Jun.

"Awan, you're here too!"

Fu Wan nodded, looked at Ye Jun in surprise and said, "Brother Jun, why are you still carrying a chicken?"

"Haha, I thought since it's rare for you to come over, I caught two chickens for you to take back."

He smiled in a very naive manner, completely different from the paranoid and crazy Ye Jun at the beginning of last year.

Fu Wan frowned, "There are wild ducks here, and they are quite big. Brother Jun, you've worked hard raising chickens, so you should let them go later!"

Although Fu Wan said so, Li Chunhua disagreed and advised: "Ajun has already caught her, so you can take Awan back!

Besides, you bought two more cans of milk powder for Lili, and there are so many big and small bags of things. If you don’t accept them, I will be angry! "

When Ye Jun heard this, he realized that Fu Wan had bought milk powder. He also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy milk powder when he sold chickens last time, so he knew how expensive milk powder was.

Then a small can costs seven or eight yuan, which is much more expensive than his chickens and ducks.

"What? Awan, you bought milk powder again. You must accept the chicken. Also, take those eggs back, otherwise I really don't know how to thank you."

Ye Jun's words were sincere, and with Li Chunhua's persuasion, Fu Wan had no choice but to accept it. The chicken was fine, but she really didn't need that many eggs. It would be a shame to take hundreds of eggs back and have them go bad.

The wild boar meat outside has started to be distributed. Just like last time, except for the three pounds of meat each for the two people who were given the pork, and the meat eaten at home, the rest of the pork is sold at 40 cents per pound.

You should know that after the Chinese New Year, the price of pork in the market has risen to 80 cents per pound. Although domestic pork tastes better than wild boar meat, the price difference is almost half and the villagers don’t have to go to the market. They will definitely prefer to buy wild boar meat.

After hearing the price, everyone praised Ye Jianguo for being generous.

Of course, there are a few who say he is stupid. If it were them, the price would be at least 50 or 60 cents per pound.
