Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion, the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
Wang Jing specially asked someone to make a cage for the rabbits, put them in the cowshed, and cut the grass to feed them every day.
Among all the animals, the rabbit is considered to reproduce relatively fast, and it happens to be a male and a female, and after two months, the mother rabbit gave birth to four little rabbits, all of which are female rabbits.
Zhang also likes small animals, and specially inquired about feeding methods with experienced people, as soon as the little rabbit was born, he separated the rabbit father, and waited until the little rabbit was full moon, and put them together.
Around the time of Chongyang, the mother rabbit gave birth to a second litter, and this litter was ten.
Not only that, the little female rabbits also began to give birth to offspring, in just a few months, hundreds of rabbits lived in the cowshed at once, Zhang's became busy all of a sudden, and Fu Bo specially cut grass to feed the rabbits.
It grows in spring and grows in summer, and is harvested in autumn and stored in winter.
At the end of autumn, when there is no grass to cut, the rabbits are all fat and dense.
Zhang's mood was much better than before, and he deliberately stewed a pot of rabbit meat, and the family sat together and ate it beautifully.
Strictly speaking, rabbit meat is not delicious, and the meat is a little coarse and old, not as good as pork, lamb, chicken and duck. Of course, Da Zhou is not allowed to kill ploughing cattle, and under normal circumstances, you can't eat beef.
However, this rabbit is home-raised, so it tastes very different.
The rabbit skin was peeled by Fuber, which was very complete, "I will sell it in a few days, and I can exchange it for more than a dozen money." Zhang said.
"Didn't the rabbit skin shoulder you bought me last year cost more than thirty taels of silver?" Xiao Tuanzi asked, tilting his head.
"This is raw hide, and other people are clothes."
"Otherwise, let's also make mature skins, I see others have done it." Xiao Tuanzi said with a grin.
Zhang didn't speak.
In fact, I can't bear to hit the small group. The five-year-old baby is not just a child, and he wants to say whatever he wants.
Wang Jing also understood Zhang's silence, "Or my mother will give me this skin, I really see other people's families get it." ”
Zhang was silent for a moment, thinking that he had grafted the peach tree according to Wang Jing's words, and he was still a little moved.
"You say, my mother will get it for you." Zhang said that her daughter only watched others do it, and she was reluctant to let her work at such a young age.
Wang Jing accepted her mother's kindness, if it was a five-year-old girl, she would do anything, which was too eye-catching.
"You should first cut off the hooves, lips, tail, and ears, and then take a piece of bamboo, clean up the muscles, fat, and impurities on it, and put it in a ventilated place to dry. Wait until it is dry, put it in clean water, soak it for an hour, add soaphorn water, clean it and dry it until it is sixty percent dry, soak it in water with miscanthus nitrate, turn it once a day, soak it for 20 days before taking it out and cleaning it, dry it again, smear it with a gypsum knife to remove the floating meat, wipe it clean, dry it overnight, and wipe the gypsum shovel again, and it is almost good. ”
Zhang is indeed a capable person, listened to it again, tried to tann a few skins out, soft and smooth, and there was no peculiar smell.
"My dear, are you really only five years old?" She said.
Wang Jing was taken aback, "Mother! Isn't that simple? I specifically asked the housekeeper of Cousin Joe's house. ”
Zhang's also believed it, some time ago, the Qiao family did send a capable housekeeper over and sent moon cakes, big box crabs, persimmons, etc. to Xiao Tuanzi, but his own Xiao Tuanzi really talked to the housekeeper for a while, could it be that he consulted someone at that time?
Otherwise, how to explain why her five-year-old girl is so capable?
It just happened that during this time, he was urging autumn grain, and there were many people coming and going at home, and he burned rabbit meat every day, and Zhang's simply tanned rabbit skin at home.
When it came to Layue, a total of 50 skins were tanned, and three taels of silver were sold out, all of which were sold to Li Ji's clothing shop, and a total of 150 taels were sold. In summary, it is much more suitable than farming.
On Zhang's face, a smile gradually grew.
Just when Li Ji's shopkeeper gave the silver ticket, he met Liu Yongan's third aunt Zhou, and was returned to Zhuangzi by this big mouth and said, in less than half a day, everyone in Zhuangzi knew that Zhang's made money by raising rabbits.
That's not all, in the afternoon, the Zhou family came to Wang Jing's house again, and they talked about it until the sun set, and then they asked the Zhang family with a smile, "Sister Zhang, can you catch a few rabbits for me to raise?" When you sell it for money, you naturally don't dare to forget you and your fourth brother, even if your father and mother know about it underground, they can only be happy. ”
Liu Chengfang's parents went early, the brothers separated early, and the relationship between the concubines was quite passable, but before he died, Father Liu took Liu Chengfang's hand and asked him to listen to his brother and sister-in-law.
Zhang also knows his third sister-in-law best, and when she came to borrow something, she spoke better than she sang, but she never paid it back after borrowing it.
"Third uncle, two little rabbits are fine, our family was also raised from two little rabbits who have just reached the full moon." Xiao Tuanzi said with a smile, "Just now, Ji Yun and her mother bought two of them for 600 yuan." ”
"Ah, six hundred! So expensive! Zhou barely jumped up, "Forget it, I'll want two." ”
As soon as the Zhou family left, the Zhang family smiled and glanced at Xiao Tuanzi, "When your third aunt goes to Jiyun's house and asks, won't you blame you for lying to her when you turn around?" ”
Ji Yun's mother's surname is Qin, and she married to Xinglong Town, where she was a matchmaker made by Zhang, and the relationship between the two was quite good. She came to beg for the rabbit, and the Zhang family naturally sent it directly, without taking a penny.
"Aunt Qin won't tell her the truth." Wang Jing must have said.
"That's right, I'm worried that there are too many rabbits, and next year's rabbit skins will not be worth much." Zhang said.
It's no wonder that she is worried that in the past half a day alone, several people have come to her to ask for rabbits, all of them are neighbors who have lived all their lives, and the Zhang family is embarrassed to collect money from others.
Just like Zhang's vegetable garden, there are so many vegetables that they can't be eaten and given to their neighbors to eat, so they are generally not sold. The first is that there is still more than a mile away from the street, and the second is that she is the daughter-in-law of the pavilion chief after all, and she has no reason to set up a stall on the street to sell things, so she really can't afford to lose that person. The rabbit skin sold to Li Ji was also asked for the price by the Qin family, and the man helped carry the things over, and the Zhang family directly collected the money.
"It's not good to raise rabbits, let's not raise rabbits next year, won't my mother graft peaches after the New Year?" Xiao Tuanzi reminded, "It's too hard to raise rabbits, and I have to get up at night, for fear that the weasel will take the rabbit away." ”
"Grafting peaches is very fast, and it will be all done in ten days at most." Zhang sighed.
Why not work hard? But everyone started raising rabbits, and when people came to ask how to tanned the cooked skins, she would definitely say it, and the price would plummet.
"It's better for us to raise it. Well, I heard that you can use a kang to hatch chicks, and you can hatch thousands of chickens at once, and chickens are better than rabbits. Xiao Tuanzi said with his fingers crossed.
Zhang was very impressed. This girl of her own, as long as she hears about it, she will say it accurately.
If thousands of chicks can be hatched at once, and an adult chicken can be sold for a hundred dollars, ten chickens will be one tael of silver, and two thousand chickens will be two hundred taels of silver, which is still faster than farming.
If you want to raise chickens, you have to clean up the house again, and this kind of big thing has to be discussed with men.
