Chapter 245: Beginning to Make Money (8)
The villagers plant vegetables and build houses on the seaside to pick up shellfish, everyone has work to do every day, and slowly form a step-by-step rhythm and order, from time to time there are businessmen who come down to exchange grain for cattle and sheep, the villagers do not worry about eating, drinking and earning money, but also know that the outside life is not good, because of the relationship between this year's floods, the food will be in short supply until next summer's harvest, in addition to the large households are not short of food, the ordinary people have food in their hands are all tightly covered, and the businessmen have the ability to go back and forth.
In addition to bringing heart-wrenching news, businessmen will also bring interesting gossip, such as the Shen family, a big family in the county, who has been having a hard time recently, the infighting is very fierce, the candidate for the new patriarch has not yet been decided, the sons fight every day, and the successors supported by the clan elders are also different, the former patriarch has not been buried, and the family has already broken his head, and the funeral has become more and more sloppy and has become a joke, and the reputation of the century-old Shen family has fallen to the point of not being good.
Qi Ke was very happy to hear this, even outsiders knew that the Shen family was fighting internally, which showed what they had to do internally, plus several other big families would definitely not be able to help but take the opportunity to make profits for themselves, and there would be a fight between the big families.
Of course, this is a good thing, they have nothing to do to toss the people, and the contradictions exposed by their fights can just be used by Bai Qing to stabilize the prestige of the Bai family army in the local area.
I have long known that all big households are paper tigers, so I don't have to be afraid, Qi Ke listened to gossip and all kinds of dishes, studied gunpowder and prescriptions, and lived a comfortable life.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the little cabbage with the shortest harvest period could already be harvested, a few days earlier than expected, Qi Ke felt that it might be because of the soil, after all, it was directly taken from the farmland, which was watered by the water of the Spirit Realm, and it was not strange at all to promote the growth of plants.
Knowing that the first batch of cabbage in Siliu Village was about to be harvested, Bai Qing and Cheng Feng sent their money and grain officials on the same day, but Qi Ke saw a lot of acquaintances from Bai Qing's money and grain officer team, in addition to Fu Xiaosheng who quickly became a special runner in Siliu Village, as well as his younger brother Fu Xiaoli Ding Lin and their five friends, they not only came to see the rarity, but also brought Qi Ke a boatload of live hares, which were packed in cages according to the size of the male and female.
Qi Ke looked at the rabbit cages piled high on the river beach, while secretly glad that she had arranged a rabbit house in the backyard to cover and do breeding experiments, and asked the villagers to entertain the guests on her behalf, and then she took some other people to move these rabbit cages to the rabbit house generously, so that they could see the hares she kept in them.
The intention of the rabbit room is to observe the breeding and growth of wild rabbits under artificial breeding conditions, record data and accumulate experience, if someone discusses with her how to raise rabbits in the future, she can say more, after all, the animals and plants raised in Qianhe are too cheating, there is no place for her to worry, which leads to her basic knowledge of agriculture The reserve is not solid, too superficial.
"Wow, you have so many hares here." Ding Lin, who came over, saw the rows of rabbit cages and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so clean." ”
Qi Ke first instructed the villagers to help her place the rabbit cage, and when she turned her head back and heard Ding Lin and them say this, her face immediately darkened.
"Don't think I'm verbose, rabbits must be cleaned frequently, and you're comfortable to reduce odors, right?"
"Isn't it cold?" The friends laughed and rubbed their hands dryly, "I thought it was so warm in the winter in the south, but it turned out that it was not much better than in the north, and it was still frostbite." ”
"Got chilblains? Let me see. ”
