Manager Bai laughed and said, "There's nothing we can do. This place is close to the mountains. Not only do weasels steal chickens, but mountain rats are particularly big and often injure the chickens. The estate bought a few geese, which were recommended by Old Master Zhou."
After all, there aren't many families raising geese in Luojiang County, so they aren't easy to buy.
The three of them, who originally planned to go into the chicken coop to grab a few eggs, immediately gave up the idea. Forget it, they decided it was better to just watch from a distance.
The estate's hired laborers lived quite well. In addition to their fixed monthly wages, during each harvest, they received bonuses. For instance, with the chickens and ducks raised by the estate, three-tenths of the yield would be given to them, while the bran and other feeding costs were covered by the estate.
