Chapter 32: The Ugly Chicken Transforms
The two brothers returned home and told Wang Shen's attitude at that time and their speculation, and Cao Shi said helplessly after listening: "This is also a matter of no law, who let us buy the land deed must go through him, but we are afraid that this time we will attract a lot of people who are red-eyed." ”
"Mother, don't worry, no matter how red those people are, they can't come to our house to rob them, at most, they will say two sour words behind their backs to make a little stumbling! We can still deal with this matter," Hu comforted.
Because Hu has no brothers in his mother's family, he has a more pungent personality and is bold, so he doesn't take Cao's worries to heart.
"Well, I hope so, when people are old, they want their family to be safe and sound, and they don't want to have more twists and turns." Cao Shi sighed and said.
On the second day, the village chief really took people to the wasteland south of the village, and in addition to the village chief, there were six other people with him. The brothers of the Xu family had been waiting there for a long time, and when they saw that the village chief had brought someone here, they hurriedly stepped forward to make a noise, only saying that they had worked hard, and the Xu family prepared a little wine at noon to entertain everyone.
When everyone heard this, there was a smile on their faces, but what they were more curious about was where did the Xu brothers get the money to strike these land deeds?
The Xu brothers were vague in the face of everyone's inquiries, and they were really a little tight, so they answered as they had discussed yesterday, although everyone didn't believe it, they were helpless.
The Xu family wants to invite someone to eat at noon, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law opened it early in the morning, and the rice, noodles, vegetables and meat have been purchased yesterday, and the three of them are busy in the kitchen at this time.
Xu Qingyan was next to her, washing the vegetables, handing over a bowl or something. Where did the two brothers, Xu Qingjun and Xu Qingwen, stay at home, and went to the south of the village to see the excitement.
It was almost noon, and finally prepared a meal for the guests, the staple food was white flour trowel, and the dishes were: braised pork, scrambled eggs with green peppers, cucumber slices, plus a stir-fried choy sum, and a small jar of wine. Although the dish looks simple, it is already the highest standard in a farmhouse dinner, and although the dishes are small, they are full of portions.
After finishing the fight, Xu Qingyan ran out of the kitchen, and smoked in it, at this time she couldn't help but feel a little thirsty, thinking about the gherkins she had just used for cooking, she couldn't help but salivate, and the only thing that could be eaten as fruit in this era was the fresh and tender gherkins.
ran to the backyard vegetable patch and picked a small cucumber with flower buds, Xu Qingyan wiped it casually and started eating, if it was placed in her previous life, she would never dare to eat it without washing it, who knows how many pesticide residues there are on it.
But now it's different, these dishes are all natural and pollution-free, naturally there are no scruples, and besides, she has been in this time and space for so long, she has already followed the local customs.
was comfortably gnawing on Xiao Huang, but the corner of his eye accidentally swept the chicken pen, and he was a little stunned.
What the hell is that guy with a long tail! Isn't this a chicken pen, how did you get into such a thing?
When I looked closely, I found that this chicken with a long tail was twice as big as other chickens, and its feathers were denser, and the most unusual thing was that the feathers of this chicken were white, pure white.
What a breed this is! Xu Qingyan thought about it for a long time, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, by the way, she brought down a few unbroken wild eggs from the mountain two months ago, and an ugly chick came.
After careful observation for a while, Xu Qingyan concluded that this heterogeneous chicken must be the ugly chick. Sure enough, this guy is not an ordinary pheasant, and his white feathers are really standing out from the crowd in this messy chicken nest.
No, this guy is a white crane, but it doesn't look like it, the white crane's legs are thin and long, and this guy's legs obviously don't have this advantage.
As for the other pheasants, my grandmother said that the eggs were slightly different, but now they are all pheasants, but the breeds are different.
One of the pheasants has emerald green feathers on its back, a red chest, and the rest are golden yellow. The feathers of the whole chicken are strong and showy, which is a good material for making keys.
"Yes, the feathers of this chicken are so gorgeous and dazzling, but it can be bred more, and it is also a good entry to pluck the feathers as a key in the future."
Looking at the other one, the feathers and gray are not outstanding, Xu Qingyan lost interest after a glance, this kind of chicken has no other use except for raising it to lay eggs and eat.
The other two pheasants are also slightly different, but neither is too impressive.
Only the chicken with a long tail interested Xu Qingyan the most, and secretly guessed what breed it would be? I secretly thought in my heart, it's better to be a phoenix or something, isn't it all written like this in the novel, the protagonist picks up a pet casually, and it's the existence of the legendary anti-sky.
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little funny, what she was staying in was a mortal world, and the phoenix was a divine beast. It's a daydream, a whims! But I hope this guy is a rare breed, so it would be good to sell it for more money.
After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see what this thing was? Maybe it's not completely open, so let's take a look at it later.
When she came out of the backyard, her father and uncle also happened to return, followed by the village chief and the people who had gone to help measure the land.
After the dinner was over, everyone dispersed, leaving only the family to sit around the table to discuss the next reclamation matters.
The land was measured out to be about eight and a half acres in total, and the king wanted to take more benefits, so he said that it would be counted as eight acres. Let them prepare sixteen taels of silver, and two taels of silver from the person who does some errands, of course, he didn't say anything about his own errand fee, but he estimated that the Xu brothers would not dare to give less.
There are eight acres of land all of a sudden, although it is wasteland, but the Xu family is still very happy, as long as the land deed is done, this land will be their Xu family in the future.
If you raise it for a few more years, the yield in this field will not be much worse. Buying land in a farmer's house is a rare joy, thinking that the family has eight acres of land since then, the family is very excited, this is really unthinkable if it was placed in the past.
The family happily discussed, what kind of land to plant? What seeds to buy, how much to buy.
Xu Qingyan sat quietly and listened, she had never farmed in her previous life, and she didn't know about these things, so it was better to be a quiet bystander.
"Let's buy more bean seeds this year, and we can harvest some beans in the fall, it just so happens that the third sister's family makes tofu, and our beans are also marketable." Xu Guang said inspiringly.
"Well, you can buy some beans, but we have eight or nine acres of land, do we all buy bean seeds?" Xu Guanghua asked.
"Dad, our family's eight or nine acres of land haven't been cleared yet, and I don't know how much we can bloom when we catch up with the sowing." Xu Qingyan saw that his father hadn't started to open up the wasteland yet, so he was thinking about the lack of seeds, and couldn't help but remind.
Cao Shi smiled when he heard this: "Look, look, this father hasn't understood the matter yet!" Everyone laughed.
Xu Guanghua saw that he didn't do business, but smiled and said, "Aren't I too happy to forget?"
