From the Late Qing Dynasty to the 21st Century

Chapter 15 Raising chickens for five years, the emperor asked me to buy chickens

The next morning, Shen Luoxing got up early, rushed to the back kitchen, and quickly asked where his chicken was. He was relieved when he learned that his chicken was still kept by the back yard of the kitchen.

Afterwards, Shen Luoxing asked a few servants to go to Granny Wang's to buy some chickens that were more than two and a half years old, and he went to discuss with Master Shen to find a piece of low-quality land on the edge of the field outside the city to build a chicken farm.

He also told Mr. Shen that he had a secret recipe to raise good chickens. Mr. Shen didn't care, but since his child had an idea, it didn't hurt to support him. Anyway, the Shen family would be handed over to Shen Luoxing in the future, so So he fully agreed, and the craftsmen will be called today, and the construction can start in the next few days.

Shen Luoxing wanted to oversee the construction of the chicken farm, so he had to ask Xueer to take a one-month long vacation for him, but Shen Luoxing was already considering whether to go to school, after all, the chicken would definitely be raised by himself in the future, Wu also needs to practice, but this book does not need to be read, after all, reading has already been done in the previous life.

But it's still early, and the construction of this chicken farm is estimated to take a lot of time, but having said that, Shen Luoxing has almost made up his mind.

Soon Shen Luoxing found the craftsmen summoned by Master Shen, most of them were some carpenters and some masons.

The group of people soon arrived at the bad field that Mr. Shen mentioned. How should I put it, the field is actually not bad, but it is far away from the river beside it. There was no canal built to come here, so the land did not have that muddy feel. The soil quality is not suitable for growing most of the crops. In fact, it is not impossible to grow some corn.

This piece of land is not very far from the city, it is only about two miles away, and it takes about half an hour to get there from Shen's residence. Speaking of which, the road from Shen's residence to the city is probably even longer.

However, since the chicken farm is going to be built, the problem of water source still needs to be solved. Although Shen Luoxing doesn't plan to adopt the later generation's method of raising chickens in a small space, he can't stand the fact that the number of chickens he wants to raise is relatively large. So it is still necessary to have enough running water directly here.

There was no running water during this period, so Shen Luoxing planned to dig a channel from the river directly to the chicken farm, so that he would not have to worry about grabbing water from other fields.

Moreover, the place is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are few rivers that are cut off due to drought all year round, so the problem of running water can be solved quickly, and the chicken farm is even simpler. If someone has land, it doesn’t take a month for one person to have a full farm. A chicken farm with more than [-] acres of land was built.

The entire chicken farm is nailed up with wooden stakes to serve as a fence. The wooden stakes are as high as ten feet high, and there is only one door left in one place. Outside the door is a bamboo house, a small bamboo house with only two floors. There is also a height of about 1.4 meters on the ground for placing things, which looks like a tall building at first glance.

Drainage channels were also dug around the bamboo building to effectively prevent rainwater from entering the bottom of the building.

As for the chicken farm, it is a large factory building covering an area of ​​about [-] square meters, but it is basically made of bamboo, and the ground is the original land, without any bedding, of course, the necessary drainage canals There are still.

On the second day after the chicken farm was completed, Shen Luoxing told Master Shen that he didn't want to go to school anymore. Unexpectedly, Master Shen didn't say anything, and he agreed directly. Xing himself went to talk to Mr.

The next day, Shen Luoxing and the complicated-looking Xueer walked to school together. The difference between the two was that Xueer was still carrying a backpack, while Shen Luoxing went there empty-handed.

Shen Luoxing saw Xue'er's unnaturalness, so she asked her: "Xue'er, what's wrong with you today, you look so bad?"

"Master, don't you want me anymore? You used to take me with you for everything, but recently you don't take me with you for anything. It was the same when you practiced martial arts last time, and you also raised chickens this time. Now the training school doesn't take me with you." Let's go together. Big deal, big deal I won't fight with Li Qingwan again, you better stay." As she spoke, tears the size of pearls suddenly slipped from the corners of Xue'er's eyes, and fell on the ground with a "click". On the bluestone on the ground.

Seeing this, Shen Luoxing immediately comforted Xue'er, "How could it be, young master, I just want to do some things of my own. Your task now is to study, and you don't even think about it. I basically know everything about Mr. Wang, but Can you do it, so you should study hard, so that you can help me in the future."

"Besides, what's the matter with Li Qingwan, I have nothing to do with her, why are you fighting with her?" Shen Luoxing was a little confused.

After hearing Shen Luoxing's explanation, Xue'er finally calmed down, but she seemed to think of something again, "Master, you are lying, you always stared at Li Qingwan when you were in school, don't think I don't know, you Like her, right?"

"What, I'm just..." Speaking of this, Shen Luoxing suddenly remembered that he often stared at Li Qingwan because she saw that her clothes were very beautiful, but don't say it, that little girl's family is worthy of her. She runs a cloth shop business, and her clothes are very particular about the materials used, and the styles are also new, and she has gradually acquired the taste of the clothes of later generations.

After coming and going, I also felt that Li Qingwan was really good-looking, and the two of them knew each other well, it seemed that I should probably like her a little bit.

Seeing that Shen Luoxing remained silent, Xue'er became persistent again, and Shen Luoxing could only comfort her with kind words, which made Xue'er calm down.

After finally arriving at the school, Shen Luoxing immediately told her husband that she would not come to the school anymore, but the teacher said clearly, "A good man has ambitions everywhere, and his only way is to study." Hey, last night The housekeeper of Shen's residence sent dozens of catties of meat and rice, as well as two taels of silver that he put in the lining of his clothes. The Shen family really respected their teachers!The gentleman couldn't help sighing inwardly.

Shen Luoxing took all the things on her seat, and before leaving, Xue Er who was next to her suddenly said, "Master, I will go to the chicken farm to help you when I sleep in the future." Shen Luoxing didn't want to have any more headaches , so he agreed.

But by coincidence, Li Qingwan who was nearby also heard it, so Li Qingwan's timid voice came back to Shen Luoxing's ears, "Can I go too?"

Seeing Li Qingwan's longing eyes, Shen Luoxing had no choice but to agree.

Shen Luoxing bought a batch of chicks from other places, and thus began his life as a chicken farm owner.

Of course, Shen Luoxing still lives in the Shen Mansion. There are only two servants on the side of the chicken farm. For this reason, Shen Luoxing specially recruited ten servants, divided into five shifts, and took turns guarding the chicken farm. Come to make sure nothing goes wrong.

Shen Luoxing went to the chicken farm in the morning to feed the chickens, change the water in the sink, and order the servants to clean up the chicken farm to ensure that the chickens would not get sick. Some fruits and vegetables were planted on the unused ground outside the yard, and the rest of the free time in the morning was spent on the balcony on the second floor of the hut, lying on a recliner, reading a book and instructing the servants to work.In the afternoon, I go to the boxing gym to practice martial arts, and then go to the chicken farm for a walk before going home.

There are a lot of melons and fruits outside the yard, roosters are constantly crowing in the yard, and water is rushing in the ditches. It can only be said that it is an idyllic scenery.

Of course, it would be great if there were no these two people around. That's right, I'm talking about you, Yang Feixue and Li Qingwan.

I saw these two people sitting on both sides of Shen Luoxing with a bamboo chair, eating some fruits and vegetables together from time to time, drinking some tea, reading a few books, whether they would still confront each other or not gave Shen Luoxing a headache.

In this way, time passed by little by little, and it was five years later in the blink of an eye.

This morning, before Shen Luoxing got up, the streets outside were already full of gongs and drums. Shen Luoxing didn't know what was going on when he got up from the bed, and a servant was already shouting outside the door, " Young Master Shen, there is a big happy event, come out quickly."

Soon Shen Luoxing opened the door, and was dressed and washed by a group of servants. After a while, Shen Luoxing, who hadn't even lost his sleepiness, was pushed outside the door of Shen's residence, but saw his father and mother and The three aunts were already standing outside the door.

At this time, Shen Luoxing saw a person who seemed to be an official standing outside the door. He waved his hand, and the people behind him brought up a plaque, which read: Yu Nei Shenzhen Imperial Gift.

Good guy, this is his own chicken turned into a tribute, as expected, the leading official immediately said that the emperor liked Shen's chicken very much, so he named Master Shen's chicken as the royal tribute chicken.
