Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 143 Utilization of Grass

In September, a yard full of alfalfa was harvested, some fresh ones were given to cattle, sheep and rabbits, and the rest had to be dried and stored.

The pasture is just a cow, a few sheep, and some rabbits in the family. It is more than enough to feed for a few months. In the next year, the alfalfa will bloom again.

Du Xiaoyu thought for a while and ran to the yard to catch the big rooster and throw it into the chicken coop.

Mrs. Zhao saw it and said, "Do you want to get some breeding eggs again? Are there so many eggs for you to eat?" The hens at home hatched chicks one after another, and the chicken coop today is several times larger than before. There were twenty or thirty chickens in it.

"Don't eat it, let them lay eggs." Du Xiaoyu giggled.

Mrs. Zhao didn't know much about it, so she shook the wooden bed beside her. The wooden bed was also thought up by Du Xiaoyu. It was extremely delicate and could be rocked back and forth, and the baby could easily fall asleep lying in it.

"It's too busy to lay so many eggs and have to sell them."

Now that there are two children, she can't get away for a moment. Du Xianyao is always looking after the farm work in the field, and the miscellaneous things in the house are all on the younger daughter. Just like when I was a girl before.

Du Xiaoyu smiled, "Sell it if you have time, and eat it by yourself if you don't have time. Wen Tao and Qingqiu eat two every day, and they eat very quickly."

Mrs. Zhao didn't care after thinking about it, she shook the wooden bed for a while and then raised her head, "You can add more to Xiaojin's wages, I think he is exhausted, and he has to go back and forth every day just to clean so many things. I ran several times, and I had to take care of each one carefully. Last time, there was a black rabbit with bad eyes, didn’t he also discover it?”

Although this young man didn't talk much, Mrs. Zhao had a very good impression of him, he was diligent and never lazy.

"Additionally, now it's one or two taels of silver a month!" Du Xiaoyu smiled, "Mother thinks I'm such a picky person?"

She is definitely a person who distinguishes between rewards and punishments, okay?
Some time ago, there were a lot of family affairs, and she didn't have time to take care of the rabbit. Li Jin was responsible for it all. The eye problem that Mrs. Zhao said also happened at that time. Fortunately, she discovered it early, otherwise the pure black rabbit might not be able to identify it. She was blind, because of this, she immediately increased Li Jin's wages, but she forgot to tell her family.

"That's good. I see that their mother and daughter are also very hard-pressed, and Xiao Jin's clothes are not good." There are patches on them, which makes people feel sad.

Du Xiaoyu can't figure out this matter, now Li Jin's salary is not low, 12 taels of silver a year, it is much better than their family before, and Li Jin's family is only two people, the cost is not high, not to mention buying silk Satin, ordinary clothes are always affordable, right?
"Wow..." Qingqiu's cry suddenly resounded at this moment, I don't know how much strength is hidden in his small body, the sound is too loud!
"Xiao Qingqiu, sister come and help!" Du Xiaoyu leaned over and hugged her, patted her back lightly, but she was still crying, so she asked Mrs. Zhao, "Are you hungry?"

Mrs. Zhao turned around and unbuttoned the front of her shirt, "I'm afraid it is, it's been a while." She said with a worried face, the two children can drink too much, and this little milk may not be enough in the future.

Du Xiaoyu saw it, and said with a smile, "Would you like to cook some rice porridge for them to try next time, it's always boring to drink milk." Although there are cows and sheep, she can't milk them, never mind Know if there are any bacteria.

Mrs. Zhao burst out laughing, using this as an excuse, "That's fine, I can drink rice porridge when I get older."

Having said that, he did not drink less milk-promoting things. Du Xian cooked some pig's trotters and peanut soup every once in a while, and Zhao's face became rounder.

Aunt Wu and Mrs. Qin always come to visit, and when they come, they each hold a doll in their arms to play.

"Oh, this baby is so good. I really envy the dead!" Qin Shi kissed Xiao Wentao's face again and again. Two children were born.

Du Xiaoyu is grinding alfalfa powder in the yard. Apart from cattle, sheep and rabbits, chickens can also eat this pasture. I heard that the eggs laid after eating are different from others. I have never raised chickens before. This time I can experiment .

When feeding, just mix the alfalfa powder with the chaff.

Aunt Wu heard Qin's words and said with a smile, "Didn't you try the prescription on your daughter-in-law?"

"I'm drinking every day." When Qin said that, she became angry, "But I didn't force her to have a baby this year, but her mother found out, thought I was bullying, and came to the door to quarrel. Hey, if it wasn't Seeing that my daughter-in-law is sensible, I have fallen out with her long ago!"

"Your daughter-in-law is still a good person. You can bear it as much as you can. Every family has hard-to-recite scriptures."

Qin Shi curled her lips, "I think, your family has no experience. In our village, I think you are the most comfortable. Your wife is virtuous, your in-laws are sensible, and you have children and grandchildren to enjoy life."

Aunt Wu spread her hands, "But I'm poorer than you!"

Mrs. Zhao laughed, "Yes, yes, we will count you as the richest, who in the village doesn't envy you? How many families can go to the county to buy yards? You can be content, when your wife will give birth to a child Come on, there is nothing more to read."

Qin shi felt more at ease, and asked, "I heard that your sister is moving here?"

"Yeah, time is a little tight now, it will be next year."

Aunt Wu said, "I'll help you find it. You can live nearby. If you add some money to two of them, you will definitely be willing to move away. Their fields are far away, but it's difficult to buy fields..."

"What's so difficult? Ask Brother Lin to come out, who won't?" Qin interjected, "I mean, Brother Lin really doesn't want to open a martial arts gym in the county? Why don't I accept any disciples recently?" She said to I still can't forget this matter.

Mrs. Zhao's face changed a little, seeing that Fudan was about to fall asleep, she took it and put it on the wooden bed, and then said, "I'm afraid he is going back to his hometown, the old people are here."

Lin Song has a good relationship with their family, and it seems that he will leave, so the matter of finding a wife is definitely not going to happen, so Qin had no choice but to give up his mind, secretly thinking that the Du family will lose a backer in the future, and he is a little worried.

One needs to know that the village chief is still there, and the Qiu family, Du Xian's biological mother over there, who knows what bad ideas will come up?

"The eldest daughter of the Zhou family can't bother your wife's eldest brother now." Qin said another thing, "Their family has booked a marriage and went to fill in the house for others."

The other two were surprised, but they quickly figured it out. Last time, Mrs. Hong wanted to sell her daughter to someone else as a concubine. What's the point of being a house filler now?I just lament the hard life of Zhou's daughter.

Du Xiaoyu also thought the same when he heard it outside. Although man is determined to conquer nature, sometimes man may not know how to defeat God's will, so this is fate.

The weather is getting colder, and their family plans to start making smoked rabbits.

Du Xiaoyu inspected the rabbit house, and now there are a lot of white rabbits. Excluding the supply to the Moon Tower, there are still about [-] left. The black rabbits are doing experiments, and few of them are killed. Black rabbits inherit the advantages of both and have been bred as breeding rabbits.

As for the pair of lavender rabbits, they are only five months old now, not yet ready for breeding.

"Li Jin, these pastures are all dry. For big rabbits, you only need to feed them a handful a day. For small rabbits, give half a bundle to a cage and feed them together with the others." She stopped calling Xiaojin now, Over the past year, perhaps because he has eaten better, Li Jin has grown much taller than her, about the same height as Zhang Zhuoyu.

Of course, she herself is also growing, but after all, it is the girl's family, and she has just reached Du Wenyuan's shoulders now.

Li Jin wrote it down and nodded seriously.

"This is a newly formulated potion. I see a rabbit is shedding hair. You can rub it on it and let me know if it works well." She pointed to a big white rabbit in the left corner. It's dermatitis.

Li Jin responded and took the small white porcelain bottle.

Du Xiaoyu glanced at him, saw that he was still wearing patched clothes, remembered what Mrs. Zhao said, and couldn't help but said, "You are saving your money to marry a wife?"

Li Jin was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized what she meant, his face blushed.

Seeing him very embarrassed, Du Xiaoyu also felt that she was a bit abrupt, so she chuckled, "Well, my mother sees you always dressed like this... asked me to give you extra money."

Li Jin's face turned redder, and he couldn't go out directly.

"Forget me to be nosy, the money you earn must be used in other ways, right?" Du Xiaoyu scratched her head, "Actually, I also have money that I hide but don't spend. Do you want to invest in other things in the future? If you want to spend it, you can use it." It's gone, isn't it?" She was still thinking about the blue rabbit, the rapeseed flower, the carriage and so many things!

Seeing her embarrassed, Li Jin was eager to explain for him and himself at the same time, so he couldn't help laughing.

He seldom smiled, although his facial features became clearer as he grew taller, he was an extremely handsome young man, Du Xiaoyu was slightly taken aback, and then smiled, "Anyway, just pretend I didn't ask."

"I want to have my own shop in the future." Li Jin said after a pause.

Unexpectedly, he would confess so frankly, Du Xiaoyu was stunned again, and nodded after a while, "That's good, it's good to have such an ideal, you will definitely be able to open a shop in the future." He asked again, "Do you want to open a shop?" What shop?"

Li Jin stopped talking, he seemed to see his mother sitting in the yard for years and months, sitting in the dim light, sitting on the cold kang in winter, and embroidering in the hot room in summer.

He thought of his mother's excitement, yearning, and love when she talked about those brocades. His grandfather's family used to run a silk shop, but his mother abandoned such a family to marry his poor father!

"Silk and satin shop." He spat out softly, but it sounded so heavy.

"Silk and satin shop?" Du Xiaoyu encouraged him, "You will definitely succeed, let me borrow some books for you to read." If you want to do business, you must first understand it.

Li Jin glanced at her, that ideal was finally expressed today, the corners of his mouth raised, and he gave a good and relaxed smile.
