Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 162 162 The Return of Yuan Dang

Mu Yu went back, of course there was no change in Taoyuan Village, there was no news of Master Wu, everything was as usual.

She went back for a few days, fulfilled her previous promise, took out some livestock for the villagers to apply for, and released news that the village bought livestock at a high price to encourage them to raise them well.

Collective breeding in the village has also stepped up efforts to allow them to reproduce quickly. Controlled and stable growth and disorderly growth are completely different things. Without control, the speed will be much faster. Of course, there will be some troubles correspondingly, but for now , everything can be resolved.

In addition, this month, a pregnant cow in the village gave birth to a calf, making the village a fourth cow.

The two women who were pregnant before also gave birth one after another, a boy and a girl, and good things come in pairs.

There was good news that three more women were pregnant, all married a few months ago.

Speaking of which, the blind date event was held twice in total, resulting in seven couples. After a period of time after the end, two more couples came to express their intention to form a couple. This is nine couples. For the village, this is a very good result.

Although there are still a lot of singles, but either they haven't figured it out yet, or they just want to fight first, the number is not so many and can be controlled.

Mu Yu stayed in the village to deal with these trivial but important matters.

About a month later, the previous rapid reproduction measures took effect.

The rabbits in the village have eight litters of small rabbits, and three more litters will be born in two days. Counting it is eleven litters, with nearly a hundred small rabbits.

Nearly [-] chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in the village have been hatched.

The eggs have been saved long ago, and most of the hundreds of chickens are hens. Take out twenty or thirty eggs, and each one will hatch more than a dozen eggs.

Moreover, less than half of the hens are hatching eggs, so the remaining chickens can continue to hatch without delaying the laying of eggs.

The same goes for ducks and geese.

Calculated in this way, it can almost keep up with consumption for the time being, but if the business is on the right track, production needs to be expanded.

But at that time, Mu Yu didn't need to do it himself, the people in the village were enough to handle it.

This is also the season of autumn harvest, and it is obvious that another bumper harvest will be ushered in.

The villagers were busy harvesting crops, and Mu Yu was busy coordinating all parties and had no time to worry about it.

……

At the same time, Yuanshan Town is also busy.

The grain in the town was ripe, and the heavy ears of grain bent the stalks and almost fell to the ground.

The old mayor and his disciples stood in the field, looking at the slices of ripe grain, and sighed endlessly.

"This kind of grain is really good, even better than the ones that Wu grain merchants bought from the south at a high price. The yield per mu is [-] to [-] catties.

I went to see Wu grain merchants and Qian Hongfu. Although tassels were growing in that field, they were not so big and full, and the yield per mu was just over a hundred catties. "

The old mayor twirled a bunch of ears of grain in his hand, and walked slowly on the road, looking at the people who were harvesting grain in full swing, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"This bumper harvest can be regarded as the complete end of the disaster year."

Of the hundreds of acres of land harvested this time, more than half belonged to Taoyuan Grain Shop, the remaining half belonged to the wealthy people in the town, and the last half belonged to ordinary people.

However, this is enough.

For ordinary people, working for the grain store previously allowed them to save a small amount of grain, and with this two acres of land, two to three hundred catties of grain plus two to three hundred catties of bran, is already a normal year's harvest up.

Even for those who have no land to sow, with this bumper harvest, the price of grain will definitely drop a little bit, and the price of bran will drop even more. With the relief grain distributed by the grain shop and the town, it will not be difficult to survive.

In the field, many busy figures were sweating on their faces, but they were reluctant to rest for a while. The joy of harvest supported them to harvest food non-stop.

Those landlords and wealthy businessmen were also very happy, especially after taking grain seeds from the grain shop and planting a lot of them, this time they made a lot of money.

"Let's go, let's go to Taoyuan Restaurant to set up a table to celebrate this rare harvest, and the disaster year is over!"

"Well said! This is indeed a celebration!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you go quickly? Those foreign businessmen have been crazy these days. They ordered the dishes early every day. I haven't eaten the dishes I want for several days!"

"Yeah, they are really rich and powerful. I also heard that some people came to the town specially to eat in restaurants!"

"I heard that too."

"Hey, look over there, is there a caravan here? This looks familiar, is it that the grain merchant from the Yuan family is here again, hey, he hasn't been here for a long time..."

"Hurry up, hurry up, maybe they will grab food from us later, let's make a decision first..."

When the caravan walked in, the word "Yuan" was indeed written on the raised flag.

Yuan Dang sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look around, his eyes were full of disbelief, it was also a harvest season when he left, at that time there were few fields here, and the harvest was very little, how did it become like this in the blink of an eye?

Looking at the harvest scene, it is not much worse than Jinzhou, which is known as the "granary".

The drought in Jinzhou is not serious. The lack of rain only reduces grain production, and it is not so severe that there is no harvest.

And because of the large river passing through and water conservancy projects, coupled with its southerly location, Jinzhou quickly recovered from the impact of the drought and provided a large amount of food for various places.

Of course, it is paid, and the price is quite high.

Yuan Dang is still stable, but the nephews and friends around Yuan Dang are not so stable.

The nephew Yuan Rong, who was only 16 years old, said in surprise, "I thought that Jinzhou was the only one with such a bumper harvest. The outside world is like what we saw a few days ago, with empty land or scarce grain."

Wang Ziyi said, "Didn't your uncle buy food from here last time, there will naturally be food grown here, but I think the environment here is not better than what we have seen before, but it can produce such effects Come, there must be other advantages. Brother Yuan, do you know?"

Yuandang: ...How did he know, the last time he came here was because of the poor harvest in the wasteland.

"Let's not talk about that, the journey is hard, it's better to go to the inn to rest."

"It's about sitting in a carriage all the time, and I'm exhausted. Uncle, how is the inn here? Is it comfortable to live in? Is the food good?"

Yuan Dang sternly said, "You are here to do business, not to enjoy. If you want to enjoy, go to Nandu. What are you doing here in Laoshizi Yuanshan Town with me?"

Prince Yi smiled and said nothing.

When the caravan came to Hongfu Inn, as soon as they got off the car, they could smell the enticing fragrance coming from Hongfu Inn.

"It smells so good? What kind of food is so delicious? Uncle, you are lying, there are such delicious dishes here! Don't you want to invite me to eat! Tell me earlier, I will treat you!"

Wang Ziyi also looked a little surprised, looking at Yuandang suspiciously.

Yuan Dang himself was still puzzled, he was so suspicious that he almost vomited blood, he really didn't know!Is he the one who invites people to a meal!
Having said that, with his absence for the past few months, Yuanshan Town has really undergone quite a few changes.

Yuan Rong rushed to the shopkeeper of Hongfu Inn, took a bag of gold, and said loudly, "Shopkeeper, serve us a table of dishes that are the same as theirs!"

The shopkeeper of Hongfu Inn had a stiff face and said nothing.

The businessman at the table who was eating said, "This is not the food and drink from the inn, it is from the Taoyuan Restaurant."
