Chapter 164: Breeding

The days passed like this, and winter had quietly arrived. Ye Shaoke is the most afraid of cold people, even if he stays at home all day long, he doesn't want to go.

During this time, Leng Lingye has become more and more busy. Often for seven or eight days, Ye Shao couldn't see him at all, and sometimes when she woke up, the man lay silently beside her and hugged him and slept deeply. From the man's face, all he saw was tiredness.

Ye Shaoke finally collected about two catties of sheep's wool, and he wrapped the Lan family to help her spin the wool thread of what thickness was there.

In the past few days, she has been obsessed with knitting sweaters again, every day, it is knitting her back hurts, but when she thinks that winter is getting closer and closer, she gritted her teeth and buried her head in the head.

"Girl, go and see! What did the prince send you? ”

In the cold winter, there was finally a little sun today, Ye Shaoke was sitting in his yard while basking in the sun while knitting the sweater in his hand, and looked up at Qingsu who was startled angrily.

"What? It's worth yelling so far away. ”

When the words fell, he ignored her and continued to knit sweaters.

During this time, the people in the courtyard also knew Leng Lingye's identity, and they treated Ye Shaoke's family with great care.

"It's a sheep!"

Bang! Ye Shaoke stood up from the stool and looked at Qing Su with an excited face.

"Why are you still stunned? Take me to see it! ”

Qingsu is also a clever person, and he also knows that his own girl has been rare with the wool on this sheep recently, so he quickly led Ye Shaoke to the front yard.

As soon as he arrived in the front yard, Ye Shaoke was adored by the sheep covered in hair!

"Great, there are so many females, breed like that, and the wool won't have to worry about it in the future!"

Lan Shi pulled Ye Shaoke over, and whispered a reminder in her ear.

"What are your girls' mothers talking about, and there are so many subordinates! It doesn't make my mother worry at all, and I can rest assured that your eldest sister is quiet. ”

Ye Shaoke touched the broken hair on his forehead in embarrassment, and smiled sarcastically.

"The little one has seen the girl, and the prince ordered the villain to send these sheep to the girl, and now the little one will leave."

Ye Shao can see that he is a strange face that he has never seen, and he didn't stay long.

Joyfully led a few sheep to the small sheepfold next to the stable in the backyard. She looked around, there was still a wide open space, and she thought that she would have to breed these sheep in the future, so she instructed Qingshan and a few people to expand the sheepfold a little.

"Qingshan, you have packed up the sheepfold, by the way, build a chicken shed in this backyard, those vegetable gardens are still fenced, in a few days I will go to the market to buy some chickens and ducks and come back to raise, this is also the New Year, save you to go outside to buy."

"Okay, girl, today we brothers can get it all done in one day, but that fence may take a day or two, and this vegetable field will take one or two acres, and it will take some effort."

Ye Shaoke looked at it, his backyard was already green, although it was already cold, and there would be some frost every morning, but his own vegetable garden was because he secretly poured some spiritual springs into that puddle, and the vegetables were also growing vigorously.

Thinking of the pond, Ye Shaoke thought of raising ducks and raising some fish at the same time, and waiting for next spring to plant some lotus roots.

"Don't worry, take your time, Qingshan, you go to the village to find a few short-term workers, and by the way, carve out an acre of land next to that puddle to dig a pond."

"Digging a pond? Girl, do you want to raise fish? This is unacceptable, this fish is raised casually in those rivers, but no one has ever raised that fish alive! ”

Qingshan looked at Ye Shaoke, hoping that she wouldn't do something in vain, so he persuaded her.

"If we don't get in the way, if we can't feed it, we will plant some lotus roots next spring, and in the summer we will have lotus flowers to enjoy, and there will be lotus roots to feast on, and besides, even if we don't raise fish, those ducks can be driven down the pond."

Ye Shao really didn't know that in this era, those fish that had not been raised in captivity were just talking about other uses. In fact, she believes that even in this era, there is no oxygen concentrator, as long as there is her spiritual spring water, those fish can be raised for nothing.

"Okay, but where is this water going to come from, after all, our yard is still a little far from the river."

It's easy to think about digging a pond, but the water can't rely on people, so it's full of picks, so I don't know if it's going to be the Year of the Monkey.

When Ye Shaoke heard Qingshan say this, he realized this problem, and he was a little difficult for a while.

"Girl, there is a valley in the back mountain, there are a lot of springs in it, the last time I went up the mountain with the girl, I heard the sound of running water inside, it is also close to our yard, do you think you should not lead the spring water to the backyard from the back mountain to the back ditch?"

When Ye Shaoke was in trouble, Zhang Wu suddenly remembered the mountain spring in the valley he saw when he went up the mountain to look for people last time, and he paid attention to Ye Shaoke by the side.

"I've never seen it in the back mountain?" Ye Shao looked at Zhang Wu suspiciously, in her impression, she had been to the back mountain countless times, but she really hadn't seen it.

"Maybe the girl didn't pay much attention to the search for someone at the time."

Ye Shao can think about it, he was indeed a little anxious at that time, maybe it was indeed like that.

"Then I'll go to the village and find more people to dig the canal together."

Seeing that the water source was found, Qingshan wanted to go to the village as soon as possible to find some people to come and implement this matter, after all, it was getting colder and colder this day, so as not to drag on the time, and it would be even more inconvenient to get the pond.

"I can dig the ditch, just find some people to dig the pond, and after you have finished the fence, go to the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain and cut some more big bamboo, hollow out the link in the middle, and then go down the mountain."

Thinking about using the bamboo tube to link this method or give it to your own family is more assured, if the village people know, one day they see that they are not happy, they will run to destroy those bamboos, and it will be troublesome to have to work hard to connect again.

"Link with a bamboo tube? Why didn't we think of this method, this is really more labor-saving than digging a canal. Zhang Wu looked at his princess, his eyes were full of admiration!

The vision of his own prince is good! Although the princess was born as a country woman, wisdom and beauty coexist!

I heard that Ye Shaoke's family was recruiting workers, and everyone in the village knew that their family's wages were high, not to mention, the food was better than their family's New Year. They all rushed to inquire about the empty space. Ye Shao can see that it is not easy to offend people, so he will find the village chief to be the master.

As soon as the village chief came, some of them were born with broken mouths, and those who were cheating and treacherous were all eliminated, leaving behind more than a dozen people who could work and did not have much to do.

Soon, the pond in the backyard of Ye Shaoke's house began to be built, and Qingshan and others also led the spring water in the mountain to their backyard according to Ye Shaoke's teaching method, and only waited for the ancestral hall to be dug up, and directly opened the cloth towel blocked at the end of the bamboo to bring in the water.

It only took three days to build the fence of the chicken shed and vegetable garden, and on this sunny day, Ye Shaoke took a horse-drawn carriage to the place where he bought chickens in the town.

"Girl, do you want to buy chickens? Look at my chickens are very good, the price is also cheap, if you want more, I will give the girl a cheaper. ”

Walking into the market, Ye Shaoke saw a chicken seller at the door, so he squatted down and looked at the edge of the small chicken coop enclosed by the fence. The old woman who sold the chicken saw that Ye Shaoke wanted to buy it, so she solicited it loudly.

The chickens were born not long ago, and the body was still full of goose-yellow fluff, thinking that the New Year was only three months away, and it was really not easy to raise them, unless she put all these chicks into the space, it was still possible.

"Auntie, do you only have these newly hatched chicks in your house? Is there one or two pounds in size? ”

The old woman who sold the chicken hesitated when she heard that Ye Shaoke wanted a bigger one. There was also a calculated look on his face.

Her family originally relied on hatching chickens and ducks for money, and sometimes the cubs that came out would not be bought at one time, so they kept it for themselves, and when they grew up, they could lay eggs and sell broilers, which was also cost-effective, but she really hadn't seen anyone who bought half-grown chickens.

Looking at the hesitant appearance of the old woman, Ye Shaoke knew that her family must have the kind of half-sized chicken she said, so he said it again.

"If the eldest lady has it, I can ask for two hundred, and I can also ask for three or four hundred."

Hearing Ye Shaoke say this, the old woman's eyes lit up suddenly!

That's big business! She also has ducks at home, even if the number is not enough, it is a lot of money to go to other people's houses to get some! It's much better than the few chicks she sells here all day long!

Thinking of this, the smile on the old woman's face could no longer be hidden, and she nodded again and again.

"Yes, yes, that price can't be the price of this little chicken and duckling, although it is not as good as the price of adult chickens and ducks, but it is still calculated by the catty, I will give you a catty, do you see it? If I could, I would call me directly to send it to your house. ”

Ye Shao can see that he wants eight pounds and one catty, so he calculated it in his heart. Adult chickens and ducks are only fifteen yuan a catty, and this price is really not expensive, so I nodded and agreed.

"Then aunt, when will you send it to me, my family lives not far away, in Baiye Village."

Thinking that since he came out to sell chickens and ducks, Ye Shaoke wanted to implement the matter as soon as possible, and it was better to start doing her business.

"If it's convenient for the girl, take a trip with my wife, my house is next to Yangjiapo, and it's not far, and it's about an hour to walk."

"Okay, I'll take a look, and if I want to buy chickens and ducks in the future, I can find the door of the eldest mother."

When the old woman saw that Ye Shaoke was thinking about buying it in the future, she was even more happy, and hurriedly put the little chicken into the back basket, and lifted the small bamboo fence in her hand and got into the carriage that Zhang Wu rushed over with Ye Shaoke.

As soon as she saw that Ye Shaoke was still a person sitting in a carriage, the old woman was even more sure that this was a big customer, and the smile on her face couldn't be stopped.
