Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth Chapter 171: Chicks Are Free
Early the next morning, several won ca to visit.
Just as they were having breakfast, the won walked in and saw the table with rice porridge, white stead buns, and a plate of mixed vegetables.
They couldn’t help but drool.
"Aunties, did you co over so early for sothing?" Lin Xue asked.
Since this is the countryside, there’s no need to knock on soone’s door; you can just enter. So, they didn’t realize soone had co in.
There were four won in total, all from the village, around thirty, the sa age as Wang Cuihua. Lin Xue called them aunties.
"Dayu, did you all co for the chicks?" Wang Cuihua also spoke up.
This one nad Dayu got along well with Wang Cuihua, among the four, she was the one with whom Dayu could converse.
"Exactly! We ca to ask, is there still that chick Xiao Xue ntioned a few days ago? We slaughtered our big chickens last year for the New Year, and we want to raise three more, but can’t hatch them, so we ca over!" said the woman nad Dayu with a smile.
"Yes, there are! They haven’t been taken yet, just hatched not long ago, worried they might not survive if taken, so they’re kept at my place!" Wang Cuihua replied.
Lin Xue noticed the won kept glancing at the table. She knew that having rice porridge with white stead buns in the morning was indeed alluring.
So, she generously offered, "Aunties, have you had breakfast? Would you like to join us?"
Hearing her question, they couldn’t resist and all said they ca to check about the chicks and didn’t have ti to eat.
Lin Xue then went out to heat up a few more buns.
There were just four people eating that morning, Zhang Yuan and Li Jianshe had gone to Pingyang Town, not eating at ho, so she heated fewer buns. This might not be enough for them.
By the ti she brought the buns back, they were already eating with stuffed cheeks.
Bai Xianglan and Wang Cuihua offered their buns.
Lin Xue put the buns on the table, noticing none of them reached out to take one, she curiously looked at them.
"Xiao Xue, put the buns away; we just want to taste, not eat all your precious food!" Dayu said.
"Yes! Eating such delicious white buns today feels like celebrating New Year again! Good things, just a taste is good, can’t think about eating till full! Keep them for lunch!" another woman chid in with so bun still in her mouth.
There were four buns left on the table. Lin Xue heated eight buns that morning, planning for two each, because Dong Sihan had a big appetite, could eat two big buns in one go, so when everyone took one, four were left, given to the four won, each took one but wouldn’t eat more, Lin Xue said nothing more.
In this era, people hid food; never seen forcing others to eat, so she left the buns on the table.
"Cuihua, you should eat! We’ll talk after you finish!" Dayu spoke again, seeming reluctant to swallow the bun.
"It’s alright, I’ll first help you catch the chickens, so you can settle them soon! No rush to eat!" Wang Cuihua said as she took the chicks from the kang to the north kang.
The weather’s still cold now, chicks can’t be put on the ground, only on the south kang.
Lin Xue had talked about this many tis because of the children and the elderly; chicks have a sll and bacteria, but no choice, conditions at ho ant if not on the kang, chicks would freeze.
"You can co over and pick yourselves!" Wang Cuihua waved them over.
The won quickly started choosing, soon, each holding three chicks in their arms like treasures.
"Cuihua, how do you sell these chicks? How much for one?" Dayu asked.
Seeing her asking, another woman’s face shifted.
She thought they were free, eagerly ca over; her family still had two chickens, so she said, "Sister Cuihua, I just realized, our family has two big chickens, every household can only raise three, slipped my mind; I’ll just take one, returning these two!"
Wang Cuihua, hearing this, took the two chicks, "Right, need to send three to my mom’s, also share with Sun Hong’s family, second brother’s family, and third aunt’s, won’t have many left; so hatched but died, quite difficult to care for! Be careful with yours too!"
"Sure, my mother-in-law knows chickens well!" Dayu assured.
"Mine too!" another chid in.
"Sister Cuihua, how much for those chickens?" a woman who hadn’t spoken asked.
"Oh, no need for money! We’re neighbors, and I just hatched once; family needs chickens too, hatched extra! You take them and raise them, just don’t charge!" Wang Cuihua laughed.
This was also agreed upon with Lin Xue. The few chicks were ant for sharing with villagers, charging money would make them ungrateful; when Zhao Hongi caused trouble, they said the hatched ones would be shared, now charging would be wrong, so simply won’t hatch again, these are gifts!
Hearing Wang Cuihua say no charge, the woman who returned two was uneasy, now dared not speak. She made an excuse about having two big chickens, but now they’re free, how shaless to ask again, feeling regretful.
"Sister, is this okay? You worked hard hatching these, and eggs cost money!" the last woman said.
"You raise them well, don’t let them die, then my effort is worth it! Enough talk, quickly settle them!" Wang Cuihua waved them off.
Dayu humorously glanced at the woman who returned two, then smiled at Wang Cuihua, saying, "We sure gained from this! Thank you, Cuihua!"
This made the woman wish she’d bitten her tongue, why rush and not wait for her to finish speaking before returning; now no good.
"It’s nothing! Just a few, you ca early, got the benefit; those later won’t have any!" Wang Cuihua understood, she said.
aning, what good coming early did? Calculations they made ended up fooling themselves.
These small matters, Lin Xue ate on the south kang, not saying much.
Sending away these chicks was best, the sll at ho.
Now she felt assured; since the eggs hatched, the chicken farm would manage too, surely could hatch, calculating days, another ten or so days, chicks would hatch.
She had a bun and a bowl of porridge, then said she would take her mom, Wang Cuihua, to grandma’s to deliver things.
"Okay, mom will prepare these days, then we’ll go!" Wang Cuihua was happy to hear about visiting her family.
Lin Xue took out milk powder for her younger siblings, in case they didn’t return, they could have powdered milk.
Now grandma is ho helping with the kids, Wang Cuihua got more freedom.
