Soon we arrived at Black Peony's duck farm. As soon as I got off the car, I heard the continuous "quacking" sound. But it was not what I imagined. The scene of a group of ducks surrounded by bamboo fences did not appear.

In front of me is a building with one floor and one floor on a relatively empty piece of land. Next to the building is a large bungalow. The cries of the ducks are coming from there.

It feels shocking! It’s really shocking, because this bungalow is really big. It feels like it occupies at least several acres of land.

Black Peony: "What's wrong?"

Me: "Do you keep your ducks in this big house?"

Black Peony: "Yeah. Is there any problem?"

Me: "Is it too big?"

Black Peony: "It's not big. It covers an area of ​​3 acres. Do you want to go in and have a look?"

Me: "Well, please take me in and have a look."

Black Peony led me to the door of the building, took out the key from the bag, and opened the door.

"Come in and sit down."

When I entered the house, I took a look. Wow, her house is so neat and tidy. The windows are bright and clean.

Black Peony: "Are you hungry?"

Me: "I'm not hungry. I ate a big bowl of rice noodles early in the morning."

Black Peony: "What's your name?"

Me: "Muyi."

Black Peony: "Wow, your name is so simple. How did you choose this name?"

Me: "I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm the first boy in the family?"

Black Peony laughed heartily: "Is the second one called Mu Er?"

Me: "No. The second one is called Mu Jie, and the third one is called Mu Jun."

Black Peony: "Oh, your family still has three sisters."

Me: "Not three sisters, but three brothers. What about you?"

Black Peony: "My name is Ji Yi. I have a sister, Ji Xin, who works in Panzhihua. I have a brother, Ji Liang, who hasn't gotten married yet."

Me: "Then how did you choose the online name Black Peony? Why not Red Peony or White Peony?"

Black Peony: "I like it! Because since I was little, everyone has called me Black Peony, so I'm used to it."

Me: "Then should I call you Sister Ji Yi or Sister Mudan?"

Black Peony: "It's up to you. You can call me whatever you want. Anyway, the name is just a code name. You'd better call me 'Master'."

Me: "It's not nice to call me master. 'Master' has two meanings here."

Black Peony: "Let's talk and listen."

Me: "One means driver, and the driver who drives is called master; the other means 'monk,' and we also call 'master'."

When Black Peony heard what I said, she burst out laughing: "What about 'nun'?"

Me: “We don’t have nuns there.”

"By the way, why are you the only one in your family? Where are my uncle, aunt and others?" I asked curiously.

Black Peony: "My parents live over there. I am the only one here."

Me: "Are you married?"

Black Peony: "It's over. He's in the army."

I looked at her curiously: "Is it far away?"

Black Peony: "It's not far away. Their troops are right next to my house. It's just that he won't come back until he has a day off."

Me: "Oh."

...

It was a joke. I saw that Mudan had already found two pairs of rain boots, so I asked her what she was doing. She said, "Before entering the duck house, you need to disinfect in the 'disinfection pool' at the door." She asked me to put on my rain boots.

We changed into rain boots and walked towards the duck house. When we reached the door of the duck house, there was a ferocious big yellow dog guarding the door. It shook its head and tail to please the peony and looked at me fiercely. I was a little afraid to go forward.

Peony: "It's called 'General'. He is very obedient. More than 10,000 ducks are guarded by him." After saying that, she called "General, be obedient." However, she still carefully pulled on the chain of "General", and I was able to

Entered the duck house smoothly.

The smell of duck manure inside was much stronger than outside, mixed with feed and other smells. But I was already shocked by the scene in front of me. The ducks' "quack, quack, quack" call was really deafening, and the densely packed ducks were covered with white flowers.

They were standing on a bamboo fence about half a meter above the ground. Their momentum felt like thousands of horses and thousands of troops. There were ducks on both sides. Walking in the middle aisle, it felt like they were reviewing these.

"Duck soldiers and duck generals".

Peony asked me with some pride: "How's it going? Is it okay?"

Me: "It's so spectacular! I've never seen so many ducks."

Peony: "These little ducks were just bought last week. They are ducklings, one week old."

We walked, watched, talked and listened. Peony was standing by and introduced it to me enthusiastically. I listened carefully, but it was also confusing. I looked carefully, but I couldn't see any "doorway".

…

Peony: "These slightly older ones are two-week-old ducklings. The older ones in front are medium ducks and large ducks."

Me: "Then how long have you been selling a batch of ducks?"

Mudan: "I sell the finished meat ducks every week, and I buy ducklings to replenish them. The ducks are sold after about 45 days of raising. The finished meat ducks all weigh about 3.5kg, and the profit is about 1-1.2 yuan."

Me: "You mean you only earn about one yuan after working so hard to raise a duck?"

Peony: "Yeah. This is still going well."

Me: "Is there anything else wrong with raising ducks?"

Peony: "Yes. The thing you are most afraid of is the 'duck plague'. Once the 'duck plague' breaks out, the ducks will die in droves, and you will lose all your money."

Before we knew it, we walked out from another door. Outside the duck house was a large pool, with some fallen duck feathers on the edge of the pool.

Me: "What is this pool for?"

Peony: “This is specially designed for bathing ducks.”

Me: "Oh."

Peony: "What did you see?"

Me: "There are many ducks, and there are many duck houses. Your ducks are not raised on the ground. By the way, your little ducks."

Peony: "Duckling."

Me: "Yes, they are ducklings. They are raised in a 'greenhouse' and are very comfortable."

Peony: "Can you learn it in one day?"

Me: "I'm afraid it will take a month to study."

Mudan said: "It took me a whole year of working and learning before I got a handle on it."

Me: "Oh, it seems it's not easy for me to learn."

Peony: "Come, help me feed the ducks." She said and opened the small door next to it. It turned out that this was a feed warehouse.

Feeding the ducks is really a strenuous job. I was sweating profusely when I put the feed for the big and small ducks separately.

Peony: "Let's go out, take a shower, and then eat."

I followed Mudan back to the house. She led me to the room next to her. "This is the bathroom and shower room. Just turn on the switch. There is hot water on the left and cold water on the right. You can adjust it to the temperature you think is suitable."

Already."

Seeing that I still didn't move, she suddenly understood: "Take off your clothes and I will wash them for you. I will find some clothes for you, and you will wear them for now." After that, she went back to the house to find them for me.

Here comes the shirt and shorts. I took them to take a shower.

After washing, come out and let her wash it.
