Chapter 248: A Stable Life and a New Livelihood
Seeing her husband leave, Yang burst into tears.
Yang wiped his eyes and said, "Okay, let me go home, don't cry." Your father will come back for the New Year, and our mother is at home, so we must be optimistic about the portal and live a good life. ”
Song Ming said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, with our eleventh brother taking care of you, no one dares to bully you, just rest assured." ”
"Thank you." Yang smiled, "When your eldest brother left, he told me that he wanted to build a house for his brothers. Fancy which place, come to me to get the money, go to Lizheng to approve it. While the weather is still warm, you can build a house, and build it as soon as possible. When the house is built, my sister-in-law will tell you about my daughter-in-law! ”
When Chen Qiao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said poorly: "That sister-in-law, you tell me a beautiful and capable one!"
Song Ming patted the back of Chen Qiao's head and scolded: "You stinky boy, it's already a great thing to be able to marry a daughter-in-law, thank God." I still want to find a beautiful one, and look at you. ”
"Whew!" Chen Qiao was beaten in pain and ran away, and several other brothers laughed.
However, after the Yang family said this, everyone's hearts were lively, and the sister-in-law said it, and told them about the daughter-in-law. It's a good day to settle here, have a wife and children, and be the same as the eldest brother's family.
Everyone had a rush in their hearts, so they urged Song Ming to find Lizheng and build a house on land so that he could marry a daughter-in-law.
Wang Lizheng is also a happy person, and said directly, good land is used to grow grain, it is impossible to assign them to build houses, the south side of the mountain is wasteland, and the terrain is also very high, and you can build a house if you clean it up.
Song Ming took someone to take a look. It's really good, with the mountain in its back, and it can also block the cold wind. As soon as he made a move, he set aside ten acres of land for the construction of fifteen houses and yards. It took only one tael of silver for one acre of land, and fifteen taels of silver for the homestead, and it was completely done.
When Song Ming was about to ask his sister-in-law Yang for money to build a house, Chen Qiao suggested: "Big brother, don't be in a hurry to build a house first, you see that there are so many wine lees in our workshop." And the eldest brother also agreed that Gorou has been making sake all the time. So this sake lees will always be there, just rely on the little girl of the star flower to feed those few pigs, and you can't eat them at all, so it's better for us to buy dozens of pigs to feed. It's the end of the year. It can also rise to a hundred pounds. Just come to make roast suckling pig. If you can sell it, it is also an income, and you may be able to earn the money we used to build a house with our eldest brother's money. ”
Song Ming listened. I think what Chen Qiao said is that their eleven brothers, in addition to steaming wine, were a little busy in the two days of raw materials, but at other times, they were very idle and happened to raise pigs.
"Well, when the homestead was being renovated, there were a lot of stones in the soil, which was really good for building a pigsty. The pigsty is in the limelight right in the brewery, so it's easy to transport the lees, and the smell doesn't reach our house. Song Ming nodded and said, "By the way, you go and ask the star flower, how many pigs can we feed with so many sake lees." Ask clearly, we can also know in our hearts! ”
Chen Qiao's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Okay! ”
Song Ming led people to clean up the stones and weeds in the homestead, and Chen Qiao bit the dog's tail grass in his mouth at this time, hummed a little song, and went to find the star flower.
The second uncle of the Yang family has been working a lot of carpenters recently, and he is working with his son Yang Erlang. In addition to feeding pigs and doing some needlework, Carambola helps her brother and father do carpenter work.
Seeing someone coming, Carambola turned around and was about to enter the house.
Chen Qiao was greeting the second uncle of the Yang family, and when he saw that the carambola was leaving, he hurriedly shouted: "Oh, Peach Blossom girl, don't leave yet, there is something I want to ask you." ”
The second uncle of the Yang family and the second cousin of the Yang family were stunned, but seeing that this person's eyes were not frivolous, they did not open their mouths to reprimand.
Carambola blushed, lowered her head, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Qiao scratched his head and said, "I just wanted to ask you, how many sake lees can come out of three hundred vasks of raw material each time, and I want to ask you about how many pigs you can raise." Sake lees are not used, it is too wasteful. ”
When I heard Chen Qiao ask about pig raising, which is what star fruit is good at, he relaxed slightly and said, "Oh, it turns out that this matter is please." I calculated that if I had been making wine, I would have been able to raise seventy or eighty pigs on the lees. However, raising pigs not only requires distiller's lees, but also bran and hogweed, so that the piglets grow fast! ”
Chen Qiao wrote it down and asked, "Where can I buy piglets?" ”
"I don't know, my father and brother bought it for me. You ask them. Carambola whispered, "If you encounter problems with pig raising in the future, you can come and ask me." ”
Chen Qiao nodded again and again: "Then it's troublesome for you, we big men really haven't fed pigs!" ”
Carambola smiled and entered the house, her face a little hot.
"Second brother, where did you buy the little pig? We want to buy it, take care of it, and it's also an income. "Chen Qiao has always been lively, and he wants to do it as soon as possible after the second brother explains.
The second uncle of the Yang family put down the work in his hand and said, "After you make the pigsty first, I will take you to pick the piglets." ”
"Then it's going to be troublesome for the second brother." Chen Qiao thanked and said, "If you are free another day, please invite the second brother to drink." ”
Chen Qiao found out the news and left.
Seeing Chen Qiao leaving, the second cousin of the Yang family said with a little doubt: "Dad, this Chen Qiao, call Peach Blossom Girl, and call you Second Brother, this generation is all messed up." ”
"Hehe, anyway, there is no blood relationship, how can you call it smoothly!" The second uncle of the Yang family didn't care about these things, and was busy with the work in hand.
When Yang heard that Song Ming and others wanted to raise pigs, they also agreed.
Eleven strong men, in just two days, cleared out all the stones and stones in the homestead, built six oversized pigsties, and left a lot of stones, piled together to keep the courtyard wall.
After the pigsty was covered, Chen Qiao took his two brothers to follow the second uncle of the Yang family to buy piglets. First feeding, so bought fifty piglets. These little pigs cost twenty-five taels of silver each.
Du Jiumei lived in the countryside in her previous life, and knew that in the new pigsty, it should be sprinkled with lime to disinfect and try to provide a good environment for the piglets.
The second uncle of the Yang family contributed six pig troughs in friendship, and the long troughs made of large wooden boards are most suitable for the piglets.
When feeding the pigs, Du Jiumei followed Chen Qiao and studied with star flowers. How to adjust pig food, when to feed it, and how much? After some study, Du Jiumei found that pig raising is also very knowledgeable.
Chen Qiao didn't know pigweed, so star flower took Chen Qiao to hunt pigweed. It's just a lonely man and a widow, it's inconvenient, so Carambola brought Du Jiumei with her.
"If you have six piglets, you need a big basket of pigweed, then we have fifty pigs, and we don't need more than ten baskets!" Chen Qiao was speechless, he didn't do any work for a day, so he beat pigweed. (To be continued......)
