Naturally, he responded to Ye Zhen's requests.

"It's like this. I just saw some children chasing ducks in our village, and I wanted to ask how many households in our village raise chickens and ducks, and how many?"

After hearing her words, the women were stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that she would ask such a question.

Aunt Huang, who was still familiar with Ye Zhen, reacted quickly and was the first to answer:

"There seem to be a lot of chickens and ducks in our village, at least ten. I don't know the exact number. Anyway, each family only has about ten at most."

The livestock breeding technology of this dynasty was not as advanced as modern times, and the survival rate was above 50%, which was considered commendable.

Moreover, most farmers do not know how to breed chickens and ducks by themselves. They do not know how to take care of them, and the probability of hatching them is really low. It is better to sell these eggs to make money.

Therefore, basically all farmers buy ready-made seedlings and keep them for their own consumption or sell them when they grow up.

Therefore, the number of each family will not be too many, and what Aunt Huang said is reasonable.

"I remember this. We all went to buy chickens and ducks on the same day in our village. On that day, we bought a total of fifty chickens and one hundred ducks. If we include the losses, there are probably about a hundred left.

.”

The woman who spoke looked slightly familiar to Ye Zhen. After thinking for a long time, she recalled that this aunt also had a miserable life experience.

This aunt's surname was Wang, and her husband's family was also surnamed Wang. She was once a sixth-rank official. Unfortunately, she was framed by a villain and exiled, and her husband died in exile.

The two of them had been homeless for many years, so Aunt Wang was left to live alone in the village.

But she is also a person with an extremely strong personality, and she is unwilling to remarry no matter what. She has spent these years of hard work alone.

"A hundred or so? Even that's not enough!"

Thinking about the quantity silently, Ye Zhen frowned, seeming very dissatisfied with this information.

When others heard this, they all looked at her curiously.
