Damn, duck egg shell!

What's going on?

Chen Ling hurriedly walked into the hut to see the basket full of duck eggs placed at the base of the wall.

At first glance, the basket was already full of broken shells.

"This guy, if I just leave it here without moving, it can still hatch little ducks?"

Chen Ling was surprised and helpless. These were the duck eggs he picked up last time when he was fishing. After putting them in the cave, he forgot to take them out.

Unexpectedly, after leaving it in the hut for a month, it actually hatched on its own.

"It seems that I still know too little about the magic of the Sun and Moon Cave. Not only can it bloom and bear fruit without pollination, but it can also hatch eggs directly..."

Surprised, Chen Ling walked out of the hut to look for the hatched duckling.

It didn't take much effort to find it in the woods in front of the hut.

I saw only yellow, orange, and furry little guys standing close together, lying in the tree pit and squinting their eyes in a nap.

The leaves of Polygonatum japonica on the edge of the tree pit and the Gastrodia elata poles were badly damaged.

Although inside the cave, it can grow back in time after being damaged, but many leaf stalks that have been pecked to pieces by these little ducks can still be seen among the grass.

"It's better to let them out. Ducks can't be raised in caves. Not to mention the dangers everywhere, if they go to the pond to drink water, they may get into the bellies of fish and old turtles."

Not to mention a few old turtles getting bigger day by day, the fish caught from the Nansha River are also growing gratifyingly.

They were originally wild river fish, but after entering the cave, they became more ferocious and wild, often jumping out of the water to chase and bite each other.

These freshwater fish, which are not naturally ferocious, have become fierce and aggressive under the nourishment of the cave sky, even the small fry.

If the little duck dares to swim in the water, it is very likely to die and be eaten by the increasingly ferocious big fish.

"Choo Choo Choo……"

As soon as Chen Ling approached, the little ducks opened their eyes warily and raised their little heads to look at Chen Ling, this strange creature. They huddled together, chirped and backed away in unison.

These little pods have not seen other living things since they hatched.

Although he was instinctively vigilant, he didn't immediately run away when he saw Chen Ling.

So Chen Ling took off his coat without haste and covered the little ducks.

Immediately afterwards, regardless of their "chirp, chirp, chirp" screams, they were directly wrapped in coats and put into the bamboo basket of the thatched house.

He threw some vegetable leaves into it, closed the lid, took the bamboo basket out of the cave, and placed it next to the oxcart.

Then I opened the small door facing the street on the first floor and prepared to set up a stall to sell vegetables, but suddenly I found that I didn't even prepare a sign.

After thinking about it, I could only go to the county middle school diagonally across the street and get a small blackboard and two boxes of chalk.

On Sunday, there was no one at the county middle school.

Chen Ling brought a bunch of vegetables over, and by chance, he knew the old man on duty. He was actually his former high school math teacher.

After I retired, I came to the new school to take care of the logistics. I said I was taking care of the logistics, but in fact I also did the janitor work.

After seeing Chen Ling, the old man recognized him immediately.

Because this guy was so talented that he stood out among the students, but he made a mess of his studies and was extremely partial to subjects.

I can get a score in the 90s on the Chinese language test, but my math test scores are in the single digits every time, and sometimes I get zero points.

The old man was so impressed by him that he puffed his beard and glared at him when they met: "What are you doing here? The new Lingzhong has been built, and you are here to steal the pliers?"

When Chen Ling heard this, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry. The high school he went to was the old Lingyun Middle School, which was on the same street as the old hospital in the county and next to the Chenghuang Temple. It is now called Laolingzhong.

When he was in high school, the new Lingzhong here had just started to be built.

Every Sunday after school, I would come with a group of boys to steal jaws, steel rods, etc. from the construction site of the new school. If I saved enough, I would sell them for money, and then eat, drink, and have fun.

Later, the more I stole, the more addicted I became. Before Sunday, I would climb over the wall to steal.

As a result, after a few times, I was reported by the girls in the same class and was severely criticized by the teacher. Fortunately, I didn't catch him, otherwise there would probably be other punishments.

"Teacher Liang is looking through the almanac again. We were young and ignorant back then. How can we do such sneaky things now?"

"I came to the school to see if I could borrow a small blackboard and two boxes of chalk. I opened a shop diagonally opposite and wanted to hang a sign."

"Oh, you guys have already opened a shop? This guy, when he was in school, scolded the small shops outside the school bloody, and now he wants to make money from the students?"

Old Man Liang stood at the door of the security room with his hands behind his back, narrowing his eyes and smiling at him.

This old man's full name is Liang Jinke. He is almost sixty years old. He is not tall, about 1.65 meters tall. He has a face with a Chinese character and wears glasses. He is fair and has a bookish look.

When he smiles, he is kind-hearted and makes people feel good about him.

"No, no, I just opened a vegetable and fruit shop, not to make student money."

Chen Ling waved her hand and brought the bundle of beans to Old Liang: "Teacher Liang, look, greenhouse vegetables have become new in the past two years. Let's take them back to you to try them..."

"Good guy, I don't dare to ask for greenhouse vegetables. The vegetable market in the western suburbs only sells them three or four times a month. Every time a large cart comes over, it is sold out in the blink of an eye. I heard that a pound costs two yuan.

It’s expensive to get ahead.”

Old Man Liang pushed the beans away and refused to take them, and then said: "If you want blackboard chalk, I will get it for you. Take the beans with you. We have a vegetable garden at home, and spinach and other things are growing, and there is enough to eat."

Then he asked Chen Ling to wait, and went to the school equipment room to get a small blackboard and two boxes of chalk and bring them to him.

"You kid, have you grown your own greenhouse?"

"That's not true. I got it from someone else."

Chen Ling opened this store in the county town just to deceive others, so naturally he would not stick to his previous rhetoric.

"My first guess is that you don't look like a farmer, but I heard that greenhouse vegetables sell very quickly in the county. You should do your best and don't go astray."

Old Man Liang warned.

Chen Ling smiled and agreed, then put the beans on the table in the security room.

"I haven't seen Teacher Liang in a few years. Just consider this a little thought from a student. If you always want to eat it, just go to the other side and get it. Don't be polite to me."

After saying that, he waved to Liang Jinke and strode away with the blackboard in hand.

"This kid..."

Liang Jinke looked at the door of the small shop across the street and couldn't help but smile.

…

Back in the courtyard, Chen Ling wrote the words "greenhouse vegetables" on the small blackboard and hung it outside the door.

Then he put out four kinds of vegetables: cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, and beans. He also put the steelyard that had been gathering dust in the backyard of his home next to it for later use, and started shouting.

After a few shouts, someone came to ask.

There is a small shop and a rental bookstore nearby. Students don't go to school on Sundays, so no one comes to visit, so they are relatively free. They noticed Chen Ling cleaning up here early in the morning.

Seeing him setting up a vegetable stall, I came over to take a look.

Chen Ling sells greenhouse vegetables at the market price of two yuan per catty, and as usual, people are asked to taste them first before buying them.

After the two people tasted it, they seemed quite satisfied, so they mixed the four vegetables together and each bought three kilograms.

After these two people, people kept coming to buy it.

In less than three hours, all the vegetables in the four bamboo baskets were sold out.

Chen Ling looked at the time and saw that it was not yet six o'clock in the afternoon.

As Old Man Liang said, these greenhouse vegetables are really popular in the county.

"But I chose the place well. There is a county hospital less than a kilometer away. Not far from the county hospital, there are also a home for government agencies and teachers' families. There are more people with spare money."

"The most important thing is that I didn't raise the price this time. I set it according to the market price, and the taste is better than ordinary greenhouse vegetables..."

Chen Ling analyzed it in his mind and thought about how many times a month it would be better for him to sell vegetables.

Anyway, he won't sell Dongtian vegetables unless there are special circumstances. If the price is too low, he will suffer a loss. If the price is too high, it will be hard to sell. He might as well come to the county town to sell these vegetables that were created by the outside world.

Not to mention it sells quickly, but also saves worry.

For example, this time we sold 1,600 yuan in one afternoon, plus 4,400 yuan for peanuts, it was exactly 6,000 yuan.

"It's actually enough to come once a month, and then drop by the oil shop to deliver peanuts..."

"After that, when you can't stand it any longer, come back again if you want..."

With this plan in mind, Chen Ling put away the stall, locked the door, drove the bullock cart out, and headed home.

But as soon as he reached the county hospital, he heard someone calling him.

Chen Ling turned around and saw that it was the old man Chen Guoping, standing at the gate of the county hospital with a medicine box on his back.

"It's Brother Guoping, why are you here at the hospital?"

Chen Ling hurriedly stopped the bullock cart and stepped down and asked.

"Forget it, the county convened a meeting of doctors from the villages and towns below, saying that our poor mountainous area has been selected as a pilot county for medical reform, and what kind of cooperative medical care is going to be implemented."

"It is said that in the future, doctors from neighboring villages in the township will be allowed to exchange mobile consultations with each other in their respective village clinics, so as to solve the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment for the masses."

"I don't understand the details. Anyway, this meeting lasts all day. It's very sad..."
