Chapter 59: The experiment was successful
"It's delicious, sister-in-law, we're going to make worms tomorrow...... Are crabs good? Zhang Dandan felt that the name crab was much better than the insect clipper, so he also changed his words.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go catch some more." Zhang Jihan said excitedly.
"Although the crab is delicious, it can't be eaten every day, so I'll make it for you another day." Liu Meiniang said after eating the last crab leg.
Crabs are cold, and women can't eat too much in the first place.
"Okay." Zhang Dandan said sullenly that although she wanted to eat it very much, she still had to listen to her sister-in-law.
After everyone finished eating, Zhang Tongtong sneaked into the kitchen, and kept her food on the stove as always.
"I have leftovers from cooking every day, and if I don't eat, it's a waste to have so much left every day." Zhang Tongtong looked at the rice on the stove and said, there was a clasped dish, Zhang Tongtong opened it and found that it was a crab.
"Isn't it delicious? How is there still left! Zhang Tongtong whispered. But he picked up the chopsticks and began to eat. As soon as he entered, Zhang Tongtong's eyes widened, but he didn't expect it to be really delicious.
In fact, the crab was specially left by Liu Meiniang for Zhang Tongtong, and it was carefully peeled.
The small fish that came out of the circle were fed to the silkworm chrysalis and silkworm sand for several days, and they were safe and sound.
Every day, Zhang Jihan would go to observe carefully for a while, and he found that the small fish that ate silkworm chrysalis and silkworm sand were still lively, and even grew faster than the fish in the fish pond that ate grain.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to see if this fish is bigger than this one?" Zhang Jihan asked, holding two fish in his hand.
"Seems like what's wrong with being bigger?" Liu Meiniang asked puzzled.
It turned out that when Zhang Jihan circled the fish last time, he also divided a few fish about the same size as the fish circled, and continued to eat grain for these fish, and the fish in the circle ate silkworm chrysalis, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, the fish that ate silkworm chrysalis grew so much bigger than the fish that ate grain.
After listening to Zhang Jihan's words, Liu Meiniang gave Zhang Jihan a thumbs up, this kid's brain is really good, and he can use the control experiment method, which is a commonly used method in modern experiments.
"Sister-in-law, silkworm chrysalis and silkworm sand can really raise fish." Zhang Jihan said happily.
"Well, so we can save a lot of effort, mulberry trees feed silkworms, silkworm chrysalis and silkworm sand raise fish, silk weaving." Liu Meiniang said casually, but Zhang Jihan opened his mouth wide when he listened, the first time he saw people raising fish and silkworms like this, he couldn't help but admire Liu Meiniang when he thought about it, this kind of breeding method not only saves manpower and material resources, but also saves a lot of money.
Before, the people in the village used grain to raise fish, sometimes in the later period, the family food is not enough, the fish have nothing to eat, most of them starve to death or raise very badly, silkworm chrysalis and silkworm sand are originally waste, using them to raise fish not only saves food but also waste.
The more Zhang Jihan thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Meiniang was amazing, and she could think so long-term.
"Sister-in-law, you ........ from the beginning" Zhang Jihan remembered that Liu Meiniang had planned to raise mulberry trees and fish together.
"What in the beginning?" Liu Meiniang looked at the fish in the fish pond and asked.
"Nothing." Zhang Jihan suppressed the surprise in his heart.
I don't know when it started, this sister-in-law, who seemed to be cowardly and inconspicuous before, has become such a powerful person, he looked down on Liu Meiniang before, she is useless except for being good-looking, and she will only cry when she encounters things, such a woman is not worthy of his eldest brother in his heart.
And he often thought that Liu Meiniang had killed his eldest brother before, but now he didn't dare to think so, and now Liu Meiniang's position in his heart is almost comparable to Zhang Jirin.
The experiment of silkworm pupa silkworm sand fish farming was successful, Liu Meiniang began to officially use silkworm chrysalis to raise fish, and the fish in the fish pond watched grow up day by day. However, Liu Meiniang faced a new problem.
"Someone has been to the mountains?" Just after the rain, Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan found human footprints when they went up the mountain.
"Seems to be." Zhang Jihan's voice was cold, the mountain has been circled by them, there is only one way up the mountain, and other places are fenced, but if you want to come to the mountain, those fences can be climbed over, who has been here? Looking at the footprints, it looks like two people.
"We can't let people know about what we have on the mountain for the time being." Liu Meiniang said solemnly.
Zhang Jihan nodded heavily, he thought that Liu Meiniang was afraid that after people found out, she would go to raise fish and silkworms like them and rob them of their business.
In fact, Liu Meiniang has another layer of worry in her heart, she is the first time to experiment with such a mulberry agricultural model, she doesn't mind letting the whole village breed like this after the experiment is successful, and bring everyone to get rich together, but now she doesn't know if she can succeed, if she lets the people in the village imitate it, if it fails, the gains outweigh the losses, and then those people will blame her again, and she has no place to cry.
But if this agricultural model can be successful, she hopes that the Zhang family will be the first.
The meaning of the first one is always different, and the Zhang family will have a certain prestige in the village at that time, even if she leaves in the future, the Zhang family will not be bullied.
She has also thought a lot about it these days, since she has crossed over to Liu Meiniang, she has to shoulder some of Liu Meiniang's responsibilities before, so she wants to find a way to make the Zhang family's life better, and when she builds a house for the Zhang family, watching Zhang Jihan marry her daughter-in-law, Zhang Dandan and Zhang Tongtong also have a good home, she is going to leave to live her own life.
This body is only seventeen years old now, and the things I just said will only be realized in seven or eight years, and the ancient people got married early.
A few years later, she is only in her twenties, and it should be impossible to travel back, what she can do is to make herself live a little better, and when she earns enough money, she will walk around and see the customs of Daqi. It's good to live like this for the rest of your life.
As for love, if she can meet the right one, she will talk about it, but Liu Meiniang has little hope for this, modern boyfriends can resolutely leave her because they know that she is terminally ill, how can they meet real love in such a place?
The most important thing at the moment is to make good money.
"Dog, why are you two here?"
As soon as they walked to the location of the fish pond, Zhang Jihan and Liu Meiniang saw two children squatting on the edge of the fish pond.
One is seven or eight years old, and the other is twelve or thirteen years old.
"Let's go up the hill and play." The child who was called a dog turned his head to Zhang Jihan and said as a matter of course.
"This is our fish pond, what are you playing here?" Zhang Jihan said angrily, because he saw that the two children were each holding a fish in their hands, and there were a few small fish on the edge of the fish pond, which were obviously dead.
Zhang Jihan was heartbroken.
"Why can't we come to your fish pond?" The younger one replied.
The green tendons on Liu Meiniang's forehead jumped suddenly, it seemed that they had met a bear child.
"You two come over here." Liu Meiniang suppressed the anger in her heart and said, she will not pursue the child catching fish, but the fish pond is not shallow, if these two children have some accidents playing on the fish pond, who will bear the responsibility?
"Go home quickly, don't come here to play in the future." Liu Meiniang said good-naturedly.
"Why can't you come here to play?" Dogan said loudly.
"This hill has been covered by our family, and now it is mine, so you can't come to play." Zhang Jihan stared at the dog with wide eyes.
"I don't." The dog grimaced after speaking.
"You!" Zhang Jihan was about to step forward when Liu Meiniang pulled his clothes.
"Just let them play here, let's go down the mountain quickly, I heard that there is a big bad wolf on the mountain, and the sun will come out as soon as the sun goes down, and it specializes in eating people." Liu Meiniang said coldly, and sure enough, after speaking, she saw that the dog's face changed.
"Don't lie to people, how can there be a big bad wolf on this mountain!" Dogan said boldly.
"That's what you haven't seen, they come out as soon as the sun goes down, could it be that you've been here when the sun is setting, and I've heard that the big bad wolf likes to eat children the most." What Liu Meiniang said is the same as the truth.
"You! I don't believe it! Goudan pulled another child to stand up and walked to Liu Meiniang.
"If you don't believe it, forget it, I'm kind enough to remind you, Ji Han, let's hurry down the mountain, it's just raining, maybe the big bad wolf will come out to eat people when he's hungry."
After Liu Meiniang finished speaking, she turned around to leave, Zhang Jihan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed.
The faces of the two children in the back changed completely.
"Let's go!" The dog pulled another child and quickly ran out of the mountain next to Liu Meiniang's side.
"Hahaha." Seeing the backs of the two children fleeing in the wilderness, Zhang Jihan couldn't straighten his waist with a smile, these two cowards, if there were really wolves on the mountain, wouldn't they have been eaten a long time ago?
Liu Meiniang also showed a smile on her face, although it is not good to deceive two children, but it is like this to deal with bear children.
However, Liu Meiniang was faintly worried in her heart, she hadn't seen anyone come to the mountain for so long before, and now suddenly a child came to the mountain to play, and there must be a demon when something goes wrong.
"Whose family are those two little ones?" Liu Meiniang asked.
"The two grandsons of the old man of the Sun family in the north of the village." Zhang Jihan said.
The grandson's family in the north of the village? Liu Meiniang frowned, she didn't know it at all.
"Auntie's maiden family." Zhang Jihan added.
A chill flashed in Liu Meiniang's eyes, is this so?
"We have to find a way to watch the place, and don't let people go up the mountain easily." Liu Meiniang thought about it, but she still felt that she wanted to keep these things on the mountain secret for the time being.
"Why don't I live in the mountains and watch." Zhang Jihan suggested.
Liu Meiniang shook her head and directly rejected Zhang Jihan's proposal, not to mention that it is not safe for Zhang Jihan to live on the mountain, so it is nothing to let a half-old child stay on the mountain all the time.
"What then?" Zhang Jihan asked, in fact, he also felt that it was not good, it was still very scary at night on the mountain.
When I was a child, I once went up the mountain with Zhang Jirin to hunt hares but got lost, the two brothers spent a night on the mountain, Zhang Jihan still has palpitations when I think about it now, the mountain at night is gloomy, and there are all kinds of strange sounds, Zhang Jihan has a deep fear of the mountains and fields at night.
"Why don't you go buy two dogs?" Liu Meiniang's eyes lit up and said.
She remembers that when she went to the countryside, everyone had dogs, and it should be okay to have two dogs.
"That's right." Zhang Jihan clapped his hands and said.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you." Liu Meiniang said.
"Give it to me?" Zhang Jihan asked in disbelief.
"Any questions?" Liu Meiniang raised her eyebrows and asked.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to do ......," Zhang Jihan whispered.
"I believe in you." Liu Meiniang patted Zhang Jihan on the shoulder.
"Sister-in-law, I will do a good job." With Liu Meiniang's encouragement, Zhang Jihan said firmly.
"When the dog is bought, let the dog watch from the mountain."
