The sky was cloudy, first faintly bright, and finally the morning sun broke free from the shackles of the horizon and leaped into the air, and the employees walked out of the canteen one after another.

After a night's rest, most of the fatigue from the previous work subsided, and then I ate a few steaming and milky steamed buns, drank a bowl of corn soup, a few slices of bacon, and the rich breakfast food completely repelled the sleepiness of early spring.

"The wheat is planted, the peas are planted, the big steward said that there are broad beans and peanuts, you are not hurrying to open the wasteland, and the women who sow the seeds are about to follow your heels!"

Stuffing the white-flour steamed bun into his mouth, the man easily carried the quyuan plow.

The hired man who was feeding the horses gave him a blank look and added a few pounds of beans to the horse's feed. The young lady said that they should eat well when they do heavy work, and they all add meat to their breakfast, and the cattle and horses that plough the fields should also be fed some good food.

His name is Hansen, and unlike the other hired workers, he is a native of the Amster herdsmen, and because he offended the nobles, his family was ruined, and he was a rare hired worker who did not drag his family. When the chief steward James learned that he was good at herding, he arranged for him to take care of the cattle in the barn.

There is no large-scale breeding of livestock on the Zhuangzi, there are a total of 20 cows, 12 horses, 12 sheep in the shed, and some rabbits are fed, in addition to the horses, cattle and sheep should provide the Zhuangzi with fresh milk for daily needs, the horses are used to pull goods from the city to and fro, and the rabbits are used to kill and eat meat, anyway, they reproduce the fastest, and can give birth to several litters of rabbits a year.

A few days ago, the big housekeeper asked people to bring back nearly 100 chicks from the city, the eggs are fragile, and the chickens have been raised, so Zhuangzi does not have to transport the eggs back from the city of Amster from a long distance. Before Hansen had time to learn the technique of raising chickens, spring ploughing began, and the cattle and horses that were usually idle were put to use.

Naturally, Hansen was also busy, feeding the chickens with vegetable leaves first, and his whole mind was on spring ploughing.

Putting the oxen and horses on a lasso, Hansen and his companions took the new plough and led the horses and cattle to work. When I got to the field, I found a group of people on the Zhuangzi gathered in a circle and pointed at each other, both men and women, and I didn't know what they were discussing.

Hansen was still thinking about how to raise the chickens, and was not very interested in the excitement, but his companion put down the zigzag plow and pulled him in. Hansen saw the scene in front of him clearly, and he couldn't help but shake his shoulder.

A big pit, I'm afraid there is an area of 7 or 8 You.

It's strange, when they plowed the land yesterday, they obviously didn't have it yet, why did the land suddenly lack a piece of the boss overnight?

"There is another one on the south side, two pits facing each other, and I don't know what's going on."

"You went to see it?"

"Hmmm......"

The hired workers discussed in whispers, and from time to time latecomers passed by, and joined the onlookers halfway. It wasn't until James, the butler, came with his hands behind his back, and the sharp-eyed women saw the meticulously combed hair, that the crowd fell silent.

James had only just come from Liu Ci's small building.

This morning, the cook asked someone to send breakfast to Xiaolou, but she didn't move and retreated, and the old housekeeper thought that Liu Ci was sick. When he arrived at Xiaolou, the little maid Sang Man said that Liu Ci was very tired today, and ordered people not to disturb her rest.

When he left the building, the first thing he saw was the newly dug pond to the south.

Although the water has not yet been impounded, he has seen the general design drawings drawn by Liu Ci, and knows that on both sides of the central axis of the valley entrance, two small lakes the size of Bayou were originally planned. He had thought that he would organize people to dig after the spring ploughing, but the weather was warm, and the frozen soil in the valley had softened, which was just right for digging a pond.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ci did it quietly. The old housekeeper sighed, he, the young lady, didn't want to be an ordinary nobleman, so he could do it casually when he could do it himself, it looked cold, but in fact, there was really no shelf. He was mysterious and mysterious, and sometimes James felt that Liu Ci was like a swordsman, and when he saw her using the "scroll" as if she didn't need money, he suspected that Liu Ci was a magician who studied alchemy...... Anyway, I haven't heard of anyone in the mainland who is both a demon and a martial artist, and James usually hypnotizes himself to forget the unreasonableness of Liu Ci.

"You still don't go to work, what is there to discuss, it is an artificial lake dug last night, there is one on the north and south sides of the valley, and it will be convenient for you to irrigate in the future. Keep your mouth tight, and don't say a word that you shouldn't say in front of outsiders. Our manor is surnamed Liu, even if someone from the Zhuangzi next door comes, I don't want to hear messages spread everywhere...... Got it? ”

James managed Zhuangzi's accounts, and was a fair man, except for Liu Ci, he was the second most authoritative person in the eyes of the hired workers, and a glance swept over, everyone knew that this matter was over, and he could not take it out.

The crowd of onlookers dispersed.

James stopped a few big men, "The things to be planted in the back are not, I'm afraid the fertilizer won't be able to keep up, you guys, go dig a few more manure pits today." ”

The men nodded, took their hoes and shovels and went in the direction of the livestock shed, which was behind the livestock shed for convenience.

The old butler pointed to a few more women to stay. He went to see the glass greenhouse last night, and the bean sprouts were going to be overgrown if they were not cut, and today they were going to be collected and loaded into the city to be delivered, and the amount of sowing was not large, and it didn't matter much if there were a few women.

The old housekeeper finished arranging the work in front of everyone, and Hansen finally saw an opportunity to ask about the chicken.

"You don't understand either?"

James frowned, "Women, don't you know how to feed chickens?" ”

Hansen scratched his head: "I have fed them, and they have thrown some vegetable leaves and wheat kernels for the chickens to eat." I think there is a lot of knowledge that I didn't know before, maybe the chickens are not fed like this? ”

If Liu Ci is present, he will definitely praise Hansen. He has changed from passive acceptance to wanting to take the initiative to learn more advanced breeding technology, which is a kind of conceptual progress.

The old housekeeper didn't reprimand him for being whimsical, and Liu Ci's actions made everyone know a lot of new knowledge. Maybe there's a better way to raise chickens.

"Okay, I'll take it to heart, I'll help you ask when I have time!"

Hansen thanked him for his work.

The old housekeeper shook his head and smiled, this kid obviously wanted to ask the young lady if she knew, so he went around in a big circle. The idea is good, enterprising, but the courage is too small! James found that the hired workers in Zhuangzi would not speak to Liu Ci in person unless they were forced to do so...... His young lady is obviously very kind!

The old man looks at the sky and is sad, no matter how young the young lady is, he will grow up one day, what kind of man is qualified to be the male owner of the manor? This is a more complex proposition than mathematics.

The old housekeeper's worries were unfounded, and Liu Ci didn't know at all.

After drawing two "moving talismans" in a row, and removing two pits of about ten acres and four meters deep, Liu Ci not only consumed a lot of spiritual power, but also had soft hands and sore feet, and slept until after noon.

After a full sleep, she felt that her hands and feet who did not obey the call were surnamed "Liu" again. She moved the "mountain" back last night, she was too excited, and couldn't help but draw another mountain moving charm, until the two ponds were solved, and then ran back to sleep physically and mentally exhausted. It's rare that I didn't practice at night, I didn't exercise in the morning, and I slept with breakfast.

Sangman was also worried that Liu Ci was sick, Nana was bold, and personally went into the room to ask, Liu Ci slept in a daze, and muttered "I didn't wake up" while half-awake, and Nana was relieved to go to her embroidery class. It's been almost two months, and the selected girls can flexibly use the "embroidery needle" that Liu Ci ordered in the city.

As for the patterns drawn by Miss Ci casually, such as graceful peonies and proud snow and cold plums, Nana didn't dare to count on them. A few girls who can embroider water heron birds, oh, is the "mandarin duck" in Liu Ci's mouth, where can Nana expect too much?

The embroidery class has a long way to go, and nothing can beat Nana, huh!

Liu Ci, who ran to the canteen to open a small stove to have a full meal, ran to watch them farm with a grudge against the single food.

"There are too many crops to grow in March......"

Liu Ci thought of the open space behind the small building, and simply took a hoe himself.

The white mist in the lotus pond space is as thick as honey that cannot be dissolved, the earth is rejuvenated, and the people of the entire manor are busy for spring ploughing, and she can also open up her own small vegetable garden. There is only one for her to eat, and there is no need to reclaim much land, Liu Ci thought that there was still some sweet potatoes left in the space, and he almost forgot to breed.

However, Emst's winter is long, and when to plant that kind of crop, you can't all follow the agricultural book, you have to take into account the actual situation, Liu Ci is exploring experience.

"Miss Ci, what do you want to do, just tell them."

The old housekeeper walked around the field and instructed them to plant peas, only to see Liu Ci pick up the hoe himself.

Liu Ci also wanted to ask God, why was a lazy ghost like her thrown to the other world to farm. The wolf god said that her secret cannot be exposed, and when it comes to matters related to aura, Liu Ci does not pretend to be others, and the land that produces aura-based ingredients can only be planted by herself.

Seeing that Liu Ci didn't think so, the old butler James coughed lightly and changed the topic:

"Miss, Hansen, who manages the livestock, came today to ask how the chickens can be raised in addition to feeding them leaves and wheat grains."

How else does she care about raising chickens? Liu Ci began to worry, and tried to recall that of course local chickens are well stocked. There are already plenty of insects in the wild for food, and free-range chicken tastes much more fragrant than chicken in a cage.

"Let's let those chickens go, and when the grass grows on the hillside, drive them out to eat insects!" It's still cold now, so pay attention to keeping the chicks warm at night. By the way, how many chickens are there on the estate? ”

"A few days ago, I bought a hundred chicks from the city, three of them were frozen to death on the way, and now there are 97 left." The chicks were bought on James's orders, and he gave the numbers without having to flip through the book.

Liu Ci paused, "The number of chickens is reduced, and when the grass near it is luxuriant, there are insects everywhere that can eat wheat seedlings...... But now is not the right time, you pay attention to note it, and remind me when the time comes. ”

The more Liu Ci spoke, the smoother he became, and the memories of the glimpses slowly emerged clearly.

When to stocking the chicks into the ground is also particular, the seedlings are big, and they will peck at the seedlings. For example, when the chicks are smoked, they can only peck at insects and weeds in the corn field, and when the chicks grow up, the corn stalks will grow tall and tall, and the chickens in the field will not spoil the corn on it.

Chickens peck at weeds and pests in the field, and the excreted chicken manure can fertilize the field.

In fact, when the number of chickens is huge, they can still cultivate the food they eat, but Liu Ci, the bread worm of Baihuahua, feels itchy when he thinks about it, and the power of compiling "Qi Min's Technique" is definitely not a woman.

In addition to bugs, earthworms are also fine...... Aren't you clearing the wasteland now, and you're afraid that there are no earthworms?

Liu Ci kicked a piece of dirt with his foot, pointed to a writhing earthworm and asked James, "What is it called?" ”

The old housekeeper frowned slightly: "Mud worms." ”

Liu Ci guessed that he didn't know, it was really embarrassing for him to talk nonsense about names.

"It's called earthworms, and it's the chicken's favorite food, and you collect it when you turn the floor, wash it with water, and then feed it to the chickens. Now that the chickens are still small, they cut off the earthworms. In fact, it's okay to raise some yourself, let Harvey make a few large jars, put them in the sunny place, keep the soil moist, and throw some rotten leaves into the jar from time to time, they reproduce quickly, and they can definitely supply the amount of food for chickens. ”

The old housekeeper took a charcoal brush to memorize, he received a housekeeper education for the nobles since he was a child, how many nobles would care about the insects living in the soil? If you don't know earthworms, it's no wonder that James has little knowledge.

Hansen, who didn't know when he was standing next to him eavesdropping, also nodded vigorously.

Knowledgeable people know a lot, it seems that when Nana girl is in a semi-literate class, she should listen more when she has time, not only farming, but also raising animals, raising chickens must first raise "earthworms", other herdsmen in Emster, which knows?

Yes, Liu Ci read according to the book, and blindfolded an honest man.

Hansen firmly believes that if there are 100 copies of knowledge in the world, Miss Ci has at least 90 copies!

For Han Sen, a former herdsman and current manor breeder, his vision is temporarily limited to the boundary of the valley, and Liu Ci understands both farming and breeding, so powerful that they can only kneel and look up. As for magic, swordsman, and god-horse sect...... It's too far from his life, who cares?

God of light, may God forgive, did you have disrespectful thoughts just now?

Hansen drove the cattle and threw earthworms into the basket, full of chicken breeding techniques, where else could he care.
