Several of the dozen or so sheep in the family are ewes, and the Lin family also raised sheep many years ago, so they still understand how to select sheep for breeding sheep.

The Wu family chose a total of three sheep to keep, and the others were to be sold.

Siqi looked at the sheep in the sheepfold, and was a little reluctant, he had feelings for so long, and if he sold them, these sheep would become mutton, and he was even more reluctant to think so.

Siqi sighed, this is also a helpless thing, now I am raising sheep to make money, and I am not raising pets, of course I have to sell it when I raise it, otherwise it will be a waste of time and useless.

"Dad, since you're going to the town tomorrow to find someone to buy sheep, by the way buy two silkworm seeds back, I see that the mulberry tree is almost haired, you can start raising, I don't want to delay time, I can't raise it when it's cold, I can raise it more often." Siqi is now almost obsessed with making money.

If the mulberry leaves at home are not enough, they will be diligent to go to the mountains to pick some and come back, anyway, they have to go up the mountain every day to herd sheep, killing two birds with one stone.

Some of the mulberry leaves in the mulberry forest in the village are now picked by people, and they are all learned from their families, and several families in the village are raising silkworms.

They don't bother to think about it directly, if they want to say that they are all from the same village, of course they can pick it, and whoever picks it first is whoever's own.

But because I have a forest at home, if I go there again, I am afraid that the people in the village will be unhappy, so I don't care about this, just run more.

Lin Changyuan nodded with a smile, "I know, I bought silkworm seeds for you and came back, I really can't be idle for a moment, I just finished planting, aren't you tired?" ”

Some time ago, the farm was busy, and these children were not idle, so the family was handed over to Si Yao and Wanrong, and the other children went to work.

After a few days of sunbathing, these children are now a lot darker, and they don't want to rest for a few days, and now they want to raise silkworms.

Mengzhu smiled and said, "Third uncle, we are not tired, Siqi is right, we have to hurry up, raise a silkworm for six or seven taels of silver, this is a waste." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Changyuan said with a smile, these children in the family are really diligent.

The next morning, Lin Changyuan went to the town to find someone to buy sheep, and the butcher came back directly with him, and after seeing the Lin family's sheep, the butcher was very satisfied, and said with a smile, "Your sheep are fed very well, and they are also quite fat." ”

Wu said, "It's not a problem, these children in our family have bothered to take care of it, they take them to the mountains every day to eat fresh grass, and they also add soybean meal to feed, so they naturally grow well." ”

"Done." The butcher smiled and nodded, "I want all these sheep from your family, and now the price has risen a little, and it can be sold for fifteen yuan a catty, what do you think?" If it does, I'll have someone pull it. ”

The family discussed it, and the price was okay, mutton was cheaper than pork, almost.

When I bought it, the cost of three dollars of silver for a sheep, and now this sheep can be sold for one or two pieces of silver, and it is still earned, after all, it does not cost food, it is time-consuming, and it is taken out every day.

It's really cost-effective to raise sheep in this way, as long as you are diligent, you have to earn him more than a dozen taels of silver a year.

Wu smiled and said, "Okay, that's it, it's all sold to you, can you take it away today?" ”

The man nodded, "I'll go back to the town in a while, and let people come and pull back the scales together, auntie, this sheep in your family is really good, and you will raise it in the future, right?" Come to me, how many years have I been working in this town, and the price has always been fair, you can rest assured. ”

Wu nodded, "The children are diligent and can't be idle, so I will get them some sheep to raise, and I will have to buy some lambs back after these are sold. ”

"Okay, that's fine." The man grinned, and when he had settled down, he went back to town to find someone.

A total of twelve sheep have to be sold, which is really a lot of silver, and the original capital was less than five taels of silver, and after removing it, it earned more than seven taels.

Although it only takes less than a month to raise silkworms, it is very hard to raise silkworms, and it really doesn't take much effort to raise sheep.

The sheep that have been herded for a few months can earn seven or eight taels of silver, which is quite cost-effective, and they will definitely continue to raise them in the future.

The man soon returned, and after passing the scales, he gave twelve taels of silver, and three strings of loose money.

After the children took the money, they took out the capital of the sheep and handed it to the Wu family, and the rest was divided between them.

Si Qimei put the silver into the box of saving money, and looked at it as if it was already quite a lot, she took it out and counted it, then put it back again, and said with a smile, "Sister, we all have so much money, it's good." ”

Si Yao was doing needlework at this moment, and glanced at her with a smile, "Or your brain is fast, leading everyone to make money, how did we think about this before?" ”

"Hehe, I'm also thinking about making my family's life better, so I need to use my brain to live a better life, I think it's good now."

"It's good, who is not happy if you are rich? Now our family has meat to eat every day. ”

Siqi nodded, and felt very happy, when she first came here, her family was still very poor, and she ate meat once every three days, and now she eats it almost every day, and her living standard has improved significantly.

Because of my own efforts, it feels really good to take everyone in my family to move forward together.

At the beginning, she had endless pocket money every month, and she never worried about how she earned it.

At school, my roommates muttered from time to time that the month's living expenses had been spent again, and at the end of the month, they had to save a little, otherwise they would have to eat dirt.

Siqi never knew what it was like, she always had money in her bank card, and no matter how she spent it, she couldn't spend it all.

But she didn't feel very happy, but felt that several of her roommates were very happy, they had no money and could call their parents to be coquettish, and then their parents counted a few words and transferred a few hundred yuan, in her opinion, this is a very happy thing.

Now that I think about it, the relationship between her and her father is not good, there are reasons why she has not been close since she was a child, and there is also because they have never been short of money.

This kind of feeling of a family striving towards a goal is really good, but I haven't experienced it before, and now I feel sorry when I think about it, and I don't know if I have a chance to return to that world, if I can go back one day, she will definitely try it.
