Chapter Forty-Eight: Is It Fun to Exhaust Yourself?

After carefully inquiring about the farming methods of the farmers and the grain crops they cultivated, Dou Yan left the field and returned to the village, but heard a familiar voice behind the village. "Do you have pigs here?"

Uncle Bao, the housekeeper, nodded and said, "Every farmer here will raise one or two pigs every year to be slaughtered and eaten at the end of the year. ”

At this time, the sound of pigs was getting closer and closer, and Dou Yan saw a half-sized child driving several pigs along a country path towards the river beach, and couldn't help but be stunned. "What is he doing here?"

The old man next to him explained that the half-sized boy was going to drive the pigs to the tidal flats by the river in search of food, and when it was dark, he would drive them back.

"Are your pigs free-range?" Dou Yan couldn't help but be stunned, he had seen free-range sheep, horses and poultry in free-range, but he had never seen free-range pigs. "How many catties can you get for a pig for a year?"

"Two hundred catties, thirty or fifty catties, it is better." The old man looked at the young man who had gone to graze the cattle with a happy look on his face and explained.

Two hundred pounds, three hundred pounds, five pounds...... Dou Yan couldn't help grinning, one catty in the Han Dynasty was half a catty in later generations, and two hundred and fifty catties was one hundred and twenty-five catties in later generations, such a pig in later generations can definitely be described as slender and slender.

Dou Yan remembered that the pigs he saw in the countryside in his later generations had to be at least 200 catties a year, and wouldn't it be about 500 catties when converted into the current pigs? At least in the eyes of Dou Yan, a half-baked agricultural practitioner, there are problems with agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and sideline fishing. Well, although the words are a bit exaggerated, they are not excessive, at least the level of cultivation in the Han Dynasty that Dou Yan has learned, and the breeding technology is indeed too different from that of later generations.

Just an hour later, Dou Yan and his party left here, empty-handed when they came, and when they went back, the expressions of those who came with them were quite depressed, and their hands were full of carrying or carrying, all of which were agricultural tools used in the fields.

--------------------

In Dou Mansion, in a dark corner of a corner, a family member who was so idle that he was playing the poker invented by Dou Yan was bragging and farting.

"I said, 'You know something?' It's about our son-in-law. The landlord's family Ding Jia shook off a two, and whispered.

"Huh? What happened to Childe? The family Ding Yi next to him shook his head stupidly, but he was also provoked by Jia Ding Jia, and hurriedly asked. Could it be that Gong Gong took off all his clothes again? ”

"Are you really a fool to be a child? You can't make the same mistake twice. Ding Bing, who was on the side, glanced at Jia Ding Yi with contempt and said a very classic sentence.

Jia Dingjia laughed twice: "You don't know, just two days ago, Gongzi specially brought a lot of farm tools from the countryside, and no one knows what he wants to do?" But yesterday, I actually invited a blacksmith and a carpenter to beat all day, this morning, the housekeeper Uncle Bao also let me run out of the city, let me go to bring a ploughing cow, I asked Uncle Bao what this is going to do, Uncle Bao rewarded me with a kick, but brother, who am I, can't you see if you can't inquire? brought back the cow, and took this opportunity to go to the child's courtyard for a walk, guess what? ”

Ding B and C all shook their heads in unison.

After looking left and right, Jia Dingjia lowered his voice. "Our son-in-law made a mess of the flat ground in his small courtyard, and finally caught our son's personal servant Dou Bone's kid, only to know that the son said that he wanted to improve the new farm tools, and by the way he experimented in his small courtyard."

"Isn't it? If the limbs are not diligent, and the son who does not distinguish between grains can also improve farm tools? I said, you shouldn't be idle and make fun of our brothers, right? Jia Ding Bing's face was disdainful.

"Childe doesn't do his job anymore, at most he is lazy and lazy, how can he make this thing and exhaust himself to death, isn't it fun?" Jia Ding Yi also made a statement of agreement. By the way, he quietly drew out the second child who had just been beaten by Jia Ding and inserted it into his own cards.

"Whoever lies to the two of you is a dog!" Jia Dingjia was furious, and his face was red and he pointed to the sky and launched a poisonous oath. "Brother, I saw it with my own eyes, I don't believe you can go and take a look."

Jia Ding B and Jia Ding Bing couldn't help but glance at each other, both shocked by the news, in their eyes, Childe's behavior is not much different from crazy.

"By the way, don't blame my brother for not reminding you, I'll tell you just a few of my brother's good feelings, don't tell others, you know?"

"Don't worry, brother, I won't talk nonsense if I kill me." The two rolled up their sleeves and patted their chests, spitting and reassuring.

"Come on, come on, this game hasn't been divided into winners and losers, let's continue, I'm one against two, who wants? There's no one, right, I'll close the door, hahaha......"

--------------------

After a lot of effort, the game ended, and Ding Yi, who was cleaning in the front hall, saw that only he and the dumbfounded Jia Ding Wu were cleaning in the hall, cleared his throat, and patted the shoulder of Ding Wu, who was inexplicable. "Hey, brother, do you know what our son is doing? ……”

“…… Childe drove all the ploughing cattle into his small yard, do you think this is true or not? ”

"Huh? Could it be that the son wants to slaughter the cattle privately? Ding Wu, who had always been Mune, couldn't help but grin in surprise. This is a big crime, and you have to pay a fine. ”

", I said why are you so stupid, you didn't hear what I said before?!" Jia Ding Yi let this family Ding Wu, who had a short circuit in his brain, smoke from his seven orifices, and his voice suddenly rose a few times.

"You two bastards, the front hall is a place for guests, what kind of body is it to wait for the noise to be muttered, don't get out of here!" At this time, Uncle Bao, the housekeeper who was originally accompanying a smiling face to greet a distinguished guest in the front hall, was also anxious, and suddenly shouted loudly.

"Hehe, it's okay, you two live together, just now you said what happened to your son-in-law? Tell me about it? The distinguished guest outside the hall slowly walked up the steps, his long white beard fluttering, it was none other than Dou Shaojun, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dou.

Seeing the person clearly, Jia Ding Yi felt that his eyes were dark, his legs were weak, and he knelt directly on the ground......

At this moment, where is the eldest prince of Dou still half of the appearance of the prince of the turbid world at this moment, the placket is all lifted and tucked on the belt, and the shoes are also stained with a lot of mud, he took a towel handed over by the sister, wiped the stinky sweat on his face, and looked at a farmer who was invited to try the improved quyuan plow in his small yard. It seems that under his own demonstration, the farmer quickly mastered the trick, shouting and driving the plough while controlling the plough to break through the ground.

"Brother, is it really okay?" Dou Zhi still asked in a whisper to Dou Yan with some unease.

"Don't worry, don't look at who your brother is? I've improved something that is guaranteed to be better, more agile and more durable than the original. Dou Yan raised his eyebrows proudly, seeing that the farmer's expression changed from the initial surprise to joy and even ecstasy, which made Dou Yan feel a little more enjoyable than drinking sour plum soup on dog days.

And at this time, Dou Yan suddenly saw the housekeeper Uncle Bao with a sad face appear at the door of the small courtyard and slap his eyes hard, Dou Yan looked inexplicable and wanted to ask what was going on, but he saw his uncle, Zhang Wuhou Dou Shaojun walked into the courtyard with a curious face.
