Bab 142: Chapter 137: Forming a Good Connection (Part 1)

"Master Qin came up with the idea of using ducks to combat the locusts, which is excellent. However, the chickens and ducks raised in our village are limited; even when combined, there are only a few hundred, which is utterly insufficient against the massive swarms of locusts. If possible, we would like to rent or purchase Master Qin's flock of ducks. As long as our Daoyuan Village stops this locust plague, it would essentially cut off the locusts' path into Shuangfeng Village, and your village would no longer need the ducks."

Tang Jingyuan had clearly done his homework before coming.

"Aren't ducks available for purchase everywhere? Chief Tang doesn't need to buy mine, right?"

This was Qin Niu deliberately probing.

Because they had started purchasing ducks early, the supply was plentiful and the price was very low at the time.

The three thousand ducks they had acquired fed well these past few days on the nutritious locusts, growing rapidly day by day.
