Chapter 173: Raising Quails
For raising quails, Xia Xuege was really immediate, I was reading a book just now, and when I saw quails, Xia Xuege suddenly remembered that the quail eggs that Zhou Yuanchun made for himself last time said that the little grandfather got them from Fucheng, Xia Xuege asked Zhou Yuanchun, only to know how precious these quail eggs are here, a pound of quail eggs, actually cost two dollars of silver! It's sky-high, and it's hard to buy!
"Dad, I'll be fine in two days, you can make me a cage, I'll go to the mountains to catch quails!"
Xia Xuege smiled, there are really a lot of quails in the eighteen-mile mountain, I have seen it before, but it is after Xia Xuege didn't think about it so much!
"Dad, let's buy the vacant land next to it, I want to raise more, and do something in the future, our family has a place!"
Xia Xuege smiled, Xia Ziqiu also smiled, and reached out to pinch Xia Xuege's little face.
"You girl, ask me for twenty taels of silver, I'll make a cage for you, and you go and catch quails yourself, I don't think you need these twenty taels of silver!"
"Daddy...... Raising quails costs money for feed! ”
Xia Xuege smiled, Xia Ziqiu was silent, and Zhou Yuanchun opened his mouth!
"This quail, you don't need to catch it, there are quails in Fucheng, just buy some cubs and come back, otherwise you forget to run in the mountains, and your father and I will have to worry about it!"
"Then I'll give you sugar, and then they will catch ...... small stones."
Xia Xuege said, Xia Ziqiu is black, the children in the village have really made Xia Xuege develop this habit!
"Okay, but this time, you can just exchange the money for it, the quail. It's also a valuable thing! ”
Xia Ziqiu smiled, and Xia Xuege nodded.
After half a month, Xia Xuege was finally able to move, although the injury on his waist was not good, as long as it was not strenuous exercise, it was fine, Xia Zijun's rice stall was also opened, the boss of steamed buns, honest, the soup was cooked, Xia Xuege was still curious. How could Xia Zijun do this. After all, even if they are crop people, there are not many men who can cook, and Xia Ziqiu has a somewhat sad answer, Xia Zijun when he was a child is not valued at all. Even if the Liang family is in charge, it is the same. These kitchen jobs. Xia Zijun learned it when he was a child.
Xia Zichun naturally went to fight the autumn breeze, or took a group of workers to eat and drink at Xia Zijun's stall. Xia Zijun naturally has a way to deal with it, Xia Zichun doesn't give money, but Old Man Xia has to give it, especially with the weakness of Xia Zidong, Xia Zijun went to the old house to ask for silver after Xia Zichun didn't give money, if he didn't give it, then Xia Zidong has a brother who cheats and cheats, Old Man Xia has no choice, he still gave it, and Xia Zichun ate and drank a lot, and the angry Old Man Xia beat Xia Zichun up!
"Xue Ge, look, what you want is this......"
Xiaoshi grabbed a quail and ran to the courtyard of Xia Xuege's house to laugh with Xia Xuege, Xia Xuege looked at it, it was really.
"It's this, little stone, I'll give you ten cents, remember, I'll want as many as I find!"
Xia Xuege smiled, looking at the quail that was caught by the small stone and was extremely panicked, the children in the village often do it to catch sparrows and dig out birds' nests, this quail is also okay, and it costs ten cents a piece, even some adults in the village who don't do labor have come to find it!
And seeing Xia Xuege like this, Xiao Shi smiled embarrassedly!
"Xue Ge, I'...... You will be my daughter-in-law in the future, I don't want your money! ”
Xiao Shi said, Zhou Yuanchun came over.
"Yo! Xiaoshi wants to be my son-in-law, this is not good, my daughter, why do you have to find a champion to be a husband! ”
Zhou Yuanchun smiled and looked at Xia Xuege, the face injured by Xia Tianshou had recovered, under the sun, with fair skin and big eyes, red lips and white teeth, and he looked like Xia Ziqiuba, this kid is really recruiting!
And when Little Stone heard this, he was depressed......
"Godmother, it's not a champion Lang, I can't pass the ......"
"If you don't take the test, how do you know that you can't pass the test, it's not the champion, and the general will become it!"
"I ......"
The little stone was in trouble, and Zhou Yuanchun smiled.
"Okay, tease you, Xue Ge's marriage, Xue Ge has to make his own decisions, I told your godfather, let Xue Ge choose by himself, if you really want to marry Xue Ge, you have to do a good job!"
Zhou Yuanchun said, Xiaoshi nodded seriously, put down the quail, turned around and went out again!
"Mother, just tease him!"
Xia Xuege said, Xiao Shi, this child, is so fast-paced! But thinking about it, Xia Xuege thought of Zhou Changyu, Zhou Xiaopang also said that Zhou Changyu likes her, and Mo Zhuqing, who doesn't talk much!
One day, the people in the village sent more than 200 quails, and some people inquired, knowing that the price of quails is high, and they want to raise them themselves, Xia Xuege didn't say anything, the price she gave was lower than that of the quail field, but the amount of quail farms was large, and there were many seedlings, but Xia Xuege was not in a hurry, and many of them were female, and they could lay eggs in a few days, and quails were not easy to raise.
"Dad, look, it's so small......"
Xia Xuege smiled, the toffee rubbed back and forth beside her, and when she saw the quail that had been slightly bigger, she came directly to the cage, but the big quail was fierce and smacked on the nose of the toffee, and the toffee never looked at it again!
And looking at this pile of quails, Xia Ziqiu also nodded.
"Yes, it's quite small, you have to raise it well, you raise it well, and in Dad's inn, there will be a batch of quail dishes!"
Xia Ziqiu smiled, Xia Zijun is here!
"Third brother, have you heard......
As soon as Xia Zijun came, Xia Ziqiu, Xia Xuege and Zhou Yuanchun were all stunned.
"Zijun, what's wrong? What have you heard? ”
Xia Ziqiu said, Sun Liangyu had already brought a chair for Xia Zijun!
"Third brother, I mean, did you hear what the eldest brother said, I just came back from the stall, Pear Blossom told me, saying that the eldest brother is now spreading bad things about you, and besides, the sister-in-law is back......"
"Oh...... You said my sister-in-law is back! ”
Xia Ziqiu's reaction was half a beat slower, but he didn't care about the front, he cared about the back!
Seeing that Xia Ziqiu didn't know, Xia Zijun sighed!
"It's not, if you come back in the afternoon, you can't come back, you just came to see Mei'er, and you left after an hour, big brother like that, we don't know it, we are ruthless to my wife, beaten to death, and I am like that to my daughter, it doesn't look like a father at all, and the village is that word, although it is a chaotic war these years, but a serious family, who sells children and daughters!"
Xia Zijun said, he was so worried that he wanted to move out quickly!
"Even if it's a son and a daughter, the third brother, you know what the old house looks like, there is my mother on the top, and Erlang's daughter-in-law on the bottom, there is no one who is worry-free, who is looking for abuse, come to the old house to be a daughter-in-law for the eldest brother! The eldest brother is a house, there is no ridge of land, he is still old, even if he is a landlord, with such conditions, it is not easy to find a serious yellow flower girl! ”
Xia Zijun was worried, and Xia Ziqiu also nodded.
"Yes, it's not, it's good to think about it every day, by the way, Zijun, how is the business!"
Xia Ziqiu asked, talking about business, Xia Zijun is happy!
"It's good, third brother, don't say that you make money steadily, it feels so good, it's not like living together in an old house, spending money, and you have to worry about whether the old man is going to be angry, in the past half a month, I hired a worker, went to something else, and made six dollars of silver!"
Xia Zijun said, Xia Ziqiu also laughed!
"You know that you can work hard, there are still three months of labor, the official road here is finished, I heard that next year we will build a Buddhist temple on the right side of the mountain near the official road, this temple will take a year or two to build, especially the imperial court to build, it will take a long time, our court now supports the spread of Buddhism, this temple is built even bigger, we are really a Liangzhou Mansion on this one, you work there for two years, you have money, do a small business or something, it's also good!"
Xia Ziqiu said, Xia Xuege shook his head in his heart, and he didn't know what the court thought, although in feudal society, rule and religion have always been inseparable, but like the imperial court, it is also rare, the battle is hot on the battlefield in front, and the temple is spent on building in the back!
Xia Zijun nodded and told Xia Ziqiu about Xia Zichun!
"Third brother, I advise you, this time, you will treat the eldest brother honestly, you didn't hear, the eldest brother said to Liang Heizi today, saying that you are not benevolent and righteous, and you are better than them for the people in the family, buy bedding for the subordinates, buy a degree, you don't give anything when Mei'er comes back, just give a few bags of snacks!"
Xia Zijun said, these words are really hurtful, Xia Ziqiu is also benevolent and righteous to the old house, this thing, but it is not less, but it still can't be good, and thinking about it, Xia Zijun said again!
"Also, didn't the eldest brother find any yellow flower girl, and began to aim at the young little widow, he couldn't find it, the old man was also anxious, the sister-in-law came back, and stabbed him, the two almost fought again, this time, the father also agreed that the eldest brother found a little widow, but told the flower woman, the eldest brother didn't know what to think, moved you out, and said let the flower woman tell others, you are brothers, you promised, whoever marries the eldest brother, will give the inn in the town to the eldest brother!"
Xia Zijun said that Xia Ziqiu was a pain in the brain for Xia Zichun!
"Really, I'm not worried, Zijun, thank you for telling the third brother this! Your big brother, you are also far away, he is getting more and more out of line! ”
is not on the edge, it is the dialect of the eighteen mile shop, which means that it is not in tune and unreliable, and Xia Zichun is not simply not on the edge!
Xia Zijun is gone, Xia Ziqiu is worried for a while and doesn't care, Xia Xuege is busy feeding the quails, and the old granddaughter-in-law and Laixi are cooking!
It's not enough, Xia Ziqiu has to explain the matter, otherwise, Xia Zichun is there, but some of them are tossed! (To be continued......)
