Chapter 11 Raising Chickens in the Wasteland

Zhao Youqian was not interested in literacy and hyphenation when he was a child, and the Zhao family deliberately misled, now Zhao Youqian doesn't even know his name, but it's not that Zhao Youqian is stupid, it's just that he doesn't care.

Sun Siyuan started teaching Hanyu Pinyin, using the textbooks of the first grade of primary school, and Zhao Youqian was able to basically recognize it in just three days. The paper and printing of the textbooks are all things that Zhao Youqian has never seen, Sun Siyuan only said that this is a secret, and the heavenly machine cannot be revealed, so Zhao Youqian did not pursue it again.

However, Sun Siyuan still bought Zhao Youqian a sufficient amount of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for him to practice. There is a primary school in the village, and Mr. is the village head, and there is no charge to teach everyone to read.

Everyone wants to learn words, mostly with a homemade sand table, the average child reads for a year, only the gentleman thinks that the talented child will be sent to the school in the town, that is to cost money.

Knowing that paper and pen are very expensive, Zhao Youqian cherishes it very much, and writes always very seriously, those twists and turns of Chinese pinyin, Zhao Youqian writes meticulously, Sun Siyuan saw it, and was very satisfied, thinking that Zhao Youqian's words should be bound up and kept as a souvenir.

After learning pinyin, he began to formally learn Chinese characters, Sun Siyuan has told Zhao Youqian that these words are different from the words used by ordinary people, Zhao Youqian doesn't care, he is learning for Sun Siyuan, as long as Sun Siyuan is happy.

Sun Siyuan has her own plans in her heart, she is ready to wait for Zhao Youqian's Chinese character learning to be stable, and go with Zhao Youqian to learn some words in this world, so as not to be completely blind, she has a long way to go to implement Chinese characters.

After the rice was harvested, Sun Siyuan followed the trend and planted soybeans. There are several kinds of beans in this world, among which soybeans have been developed most completely, and thousands of tofu sprouts have appeared, which is considered a cash crop.

The people in the village have been planting for many years, and this year they all learned from Sun Siyuan's green millet and planted it one by one. I didn't see the green millet growing, it's gratifying! Everyone inexplicably believes that although more than half of the seeds have been reduced, the soybean harvest will increase this year.

When the green millet hangs the stick, everyone passes by the land of Zhao Youqian's house, and they always have to marvel twice, some of the well-informed, who have seen the green millet, all say that even the green millet that is planted is not so prosperous.

Sun Siyuan took Zhao Youqian and broke a lot of tender green millet in the field and sent it to all families in the village, saying that it was good to cook and roast, and everyone tried it to their heart's content.

The villagers tried according to what Sun Siyuan said, only to know that the green millet tasted so delicious, and there were greedy children, so they went to Sun Siyuan's house and picked up the sticks and went back to eat, and the adults found out, so they took some rice noodles and came over to apologize, Sun Siyuan smiled and said that it didn't matter if the children ate a few.

The rabbits in the family inadvertently got better, several female rabbits were pregnant with nests, Sun Siyuan looked at the white rabbits, if it wasn't for Aunt Gu's reminder, she really couldn't see that the fat people were pregnant. The children in the village knew, and they were clamoring to take the rabbit back to raise, Sun Siyuan agreed with everyone that only by promising to take good care of the rabbit's children could they take the rabbit back, and everyone was busy rushing to express their position.

Before the rabbit gave birth to a rabbit, the green millet should be harvested. The people in the village were concerned about Sun Siyuan's green millet, and as soon as they heard that they could collect it, they wanted to help.

Sun Siyuan saw that the villagers were enthusiastic, so she simply said yes to everyone, everyone helped cut down the green millet and transport it back, broke off the stick and sent it to her house, and the green millet pole was given to everyone.

As for whether someone will be ignorant of Qingsu sticks, Sun Siyuan is not worried, as the saying goes, the rich have a good conscience and are bad, everyone has no worries about food and clothing over the years, life is comfortable, and human nature is not bad, not to mention, who would be so stupid about the only thing in the village.

The green millet grains are full, there is no threshing machine in this world, and you can only rely on manual peeling, Sun Siyuan did a two-handed bubble in one day, Zhao Youqian was very distressed, and he didn't let her reach out the next day.

It happened that the rabbit was born, and the children in the village came to Sun Siyuan's house, and when they saw this work, they all thought it was very interesting, and rushed to do it, but Sun Siyuan couldn't, so he could only make some snacks for the children to eat, and the children were more motivated.

The little rabbit gave birth to twenty-one, only stayed in the old rabbit for three days, and they were all taken away by the children, and the children who did not catch it were quite lost, and Sun Siyuan could only promise them a litter.

The breeding of rabbits gave Sun Siyuan inspiration, she felt that breeding is a good way, the world already has horse farms, there are also small-scale sheep or pig raising, different from the village people each pig a few chickens in a small fight, they are dozens of hundreds of raising, good service, than farming to make money.

Raising chickens is what Sun Siyuan is most familiar with, and she determined this direction after a little thought. Sun Siyuan thought about large-scale farming, so he found a lot of books on poultry breeding from the space, and finally decided to build a house on the wasteland in the east of the village, so that there could be some grass seeds in the wasteland, and the chickens could be semi-free-range at that time.

Zhao Youqian never objected to the things proposed by Sun Siyuan, so the matter was decided. Sun Siyuan saved more than a dozen taels of silver in her hand, and found the village chief to ask about buying land.

The village chief said that if the wasteland is bought and planted, it will cost three taels of silver per acre, and there is no need to pay taxes for the first two years, and then you will have to pay agricultural taxes.

The houses built in the countryside are all adobe houses, and local materials are used, mainly to spend labor, Sun Siyuan does not have to worry, but the money to buy land is definitely not enough. The green millet at home was not sold, mainly because Sun Siyuan didn't know how to position it, so she made up her mind to sell it.

To the mill to grind a bag of green millet into fine noodles, Sun Siyuan took it to the rice grain store in the town, the young man who gave her green millet seeds borrowed a pot for her, she burned the green millet porridge on the spot, invited the people in the rice grain store to drink it for free, and then talked to the owner about business.

The shopkeeper himself tasted the porridge, and the fragrance of green millet lingered between his lips and teeth for a long time, and the shopkeeper was conquered, and he believed that there would definitely be a market for such noodles. In the end, after some bargaining, Sun Siyuan's green millet was contracted by the shopkeeper at a price of two cents a catty. Sun Siyuan only left more than 100 catties, half of which was kept for seed and half for her own food.

The shopkeeper found a car to drag away Sun Siyuan's Qingsu, and in the end it was a total of 7,130 yuan, Sun Siyuan simply only needed seven taels of silver, and a fraction of more than 100 yuan was directly wiped out, after all, the shopkeeper also took a big risk, and she was still very moved in her heart.

The shopkeeper had never seen such a peasant woman, who had always been speechless with a big mouth, and only remembered Sun Siyuan's kindness in his heart.
