Chapter 0014: It Turned Out to Be Him
Feng Yong naturally didn't know that he had been evaluated as a womanizer, and now he was immersed in the joy of success.
This year's summer ploughing is going well, much faster than in previous years. The success of Quyuan plough greatly enhanced Zhao's confidence in the breeding business, and just after the summer ploughing, he began to run all over the surrounding villages and towns, buying chickens and ducks on a large scale. That's right, the Feng family's breeding business has not officially started, and it has already expanded its business to ducks.
Now Feng Yong finally understood why Steward Zhao was so shocked when he said that he wanted to raise 300 chickens. In this troubled era, even in Shudi, which suffered the least from the war, the people who have surplus food can raise four or five chickens at most, and if they want more, it is simply impossible.
Steward Zhao ran all over the surrounding villages and towns, and received more than 40 and less than 50 chickens, and there were chickens of all ages from chicks to old hens. Looking at the roosters and hens of different sizes in the yard specially cleaned up to raise chickens, and the chicken feathers flying all over the yard, Feng Yong sighed deeply, the goal of improving living conditions is a long way to go!
"Lord, there are only so many chickens that can be harvested in these four weeks, and the old servant will go to the city again the next day to see if he can collect more and come back." The butler seemed to feel guilty for not completing the task the master had told him to do, and wanted to try to make amends.
"No need, Uncle Zhao will see which one still has ducks, there are not enough chickens, then even the ducks will be raised together." Feng Yong is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, the countryside can only receive so much, and there can't be many in the city.
However, it seems that duck feathers may be used as a down jacket! In these years, there is no heating, and in winter, the rich and noble families only have fur coats to keep warm, and there seems to be no clothes that are too good to avoid the cold. I remember when I was a child, the feathers from the chickens and ducks were kept and dried, waiting to be harvested, and the money sold was not small for the farmers at that time, at least the money to buy candy and fruits during the New Year's festival was there.
Thinking of this, Feng Yong became more and more sure of the importance of raising ducks, and at this time he didn't know if cotton was introduced to China, even if it was introduced, it is estimated that only a very small number of people knew, and even if he put cotton in front of Feng Yong now, he would not have time to grow cotton to make quilts.
Feng Yong was afraid of the cold, in his previous life, he was originally a southerner, but for various reasons, when he grew up, he went to the north again, and even stayed in the northern Xinjiang where ice and snow were covered for half a year for a long time, so he was afraid of freezing at first, even if he adapted to it later, but the cold winter still left a shadow in his heart. So he suddenly felt that it was imperative to raise ducks, and the sooner the better!
Feng Yong imagined a winter without heating for a moment, suddenly shivered, turned his head and said to the housekeeper solemnly: "Uncle Zhao, I still have to let you work hard about this matter, and then go and collect the ducks, the more you collect, the better." ”
Steward Zhao nodded in response, and looked at the younger sister who was busy in the yard, with a little awe in his eyes. In his opinion, the master's method is simply to use some unknown means to conjure up chicken food out of nothing, and it is not much different from the legendary fairy method of turning stones into gold. And my sister was able to learn such a fairy method, thinking that the root bone is also different from ordinary people, no wonder the master wants to teach her to read and write!
Although the great cause of raising chickens encountered unexpected difficulties at the beginning, Feng Yong still made timely remedies. Not being able to receive enough chickens and ducks is not a problem for Feng Yong at all.
The baby who came out of the countryside, I don't know anything else, don't I even know this? When I was a child, most of the chickens and ducks killed at home for the New Year and festivals were actually raised by myself. The source of chicken seedlings and duck seedlings was not bought from the market at the beginning, but which neighbor has an old hen holding a nest and is ready to hatch chicks, so say hello to that family, either they produce their own eggs and ask other people's old hens to help hatch more, or directly ask others to hatch more in advance, and then come to the door to get something to change the chicks after the chicks come out.
It wasn't until later that life went up that there was the concept of broiler hens, and different chicks appeared on the market. At that time, everyone was no longer short of that little money, and the things to ask the old hen to help gradually decreased.
Feng Yong told the younger sister to pay attention to the situation of the chickens, and if she found an old hen with nest hugging behavior, she would immediately pick it out separately, and then pick out a dozen eggs for it to hatch. Farmers generally raise hens to lay eggs, and as soon as they encounter a hen holding a nest, they immediately try to make it wake up, but Feng Yong said that there can be a few more hens in the nest.
Now the chicken is not the offspring of those who have improved countless generations after purposefully cultivated those laying hens and broilers, basically after laying a certain number of eggs, there will be a nest behavior, the older the chicken, the more frequent the behavior of the nest, and the hatched chicks can also have an old hen belt, no need to worry about artificially. Of course, the disadvantage is that the egg laying efficiency is lower than that of later generations. Feng Yong raised chickens to improve his life, not to sell eggs, so he said that he could tolerate this shortcoming.
In ancient times, people who had status or paid attention to status, as long as they did not reach an intimate relationship, they had to send a greeting post a few days in advance to visit other people's homes, so as to make time for the host's family, otherwise they would come to the door without greeting in advance, which would be a sign of uneducated and impolite.
It is said that Feng Yong, a small family like Feng Yong, should not be exposed to this level for the time being, and he never thought that someone in his family would send a message of worship one day. Just a few days when he was busy picking eggs, the housekeeper came in with a strange look and a name post, saying that someone had sent a post.
"Zhao Guang? Zhao Yiwen? This name seems familiar. Feng Yong looked at the famous thorn in his hand, that is, the worship post, frowned and thought about it, "Who is this?" Did I know before? ”
Of course I know, I know, isn't Zhao Yiwen the coachman who accosted him that day? But Feng Yong was sure that it was the first time he and Zhao Yiwen met, but why did his name give him a familiar feeling?
Surname Zhao?
Feng Yong, a famous figure surnamed Zhao in Shu, only knows one, that is, Zhao Yun, who is the only surviving of the five tiger generals and is known as the heartthrob in later generations.
"I****!" Feng Yong slapped his thigh and burst out directly, "I finally remembered, it turned out to be him!" ”
As a pseudo-Three Kingdoms fan who has played series of games such as "Legend of the Three Kingdoms I" to "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms VII", "Three Kingdoms IX" to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms XII", as well as some Three Kingdoms games such as "The Legend of Cao Cao" and "The Legend of Zhao Yun", Feng Yong said that the name Zhao Guang did not have too much impression in his memory.
There is no way, for example, anyone who has read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows who the Five Tiger Generals are, and most of the people who have not read it have also heard of it, but there are not so many people who know the descendants of the Five Tiger Generals.
Although Feng Yong was also infatuated with the Three Kingdoms, he could only be regarded as a pseudo-Three Kingdoms fan if he survived. Take reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as an example, he will read it carefully in the front, read it roughly after the Battle of Yiling, and then skim it after Zhuge Liang's death, and stop reading it directly after Shu Han was destroyed.
That's right, he is a Liu fan, and most of the Liu fans who play the Three Kingdoms game only play Liu Beifang. As for historical books such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he only picked out the places he was interested in to understand the difference between romance and historical facts, so he could only roughly know about the major historical events and time at most about the environment he is in today.
Like Zhao Guang, a figure who has not written much in history and does not have many outstanding figures, he generally does not have much impression, and the reason why he can remember that he is a descendant of Zhao Yun is entirely because of a game company in later generations. The company treats games as if they were movies, and often skips tickets, with "Blizzard productions must be high-quality" is its slogan, and one of the games is called "The Frozen Throne".
Well, of course, that game is indeed a high-quality game, and Feng Yong also had a black civil war with his classmates back then. In this game, there is a map called "Guarding the Sword Pavilion", which has lasted for ten years. Feng Yong played this map ten years ago, and ten years later, Feng Yong crossed over, and there are still a large number of people on the Internet playing this map, you can imagine its charm, well, far away. In the picture of "Guarding the Sword Pavilion", there is a character named Zhao Guang, and his introduction is - the son of Zhao Yun.
