Chapter Thirty-Eight: Qi Zhong's Last Chance

On the third day, Qi Ning asked Qi Fugui to get into the car, loaded some grain pots and bowls, a bunch of tools, and a few beds, and took Qi Zhong back to Zhushan behind Zhujia Village.

After taking Qi Zhong and the two of them for half a morning, he returned to the bottom of the mountain and Qi Ning instructed: "You build a shed with bamboo at the bottom of the mountain to live, and I will give you a month and a half to make a fence around this mountain with bamboo and wood, which is five feet high, and the fence is densely made. At the foot of the hill there is a gate on the side of the road facing south, and on the eastern slope of the hill I will be given four larger duck sheds, which will be able to raise four or five hundred ducks. Dig a ditch for the spring water on the mountain to lead it to two feet in front of the duck shed, dig a shallow pond, and leave a sluice gate at the bottom of the pond, so that the dirty water can be released at any time, but it can't flow into the river, but into the ditch on the side of the road. Two chicken sheds are built two feet away from the duck shed, and they must be able to raise four or five hundred chickens. It's all made of bamboo. I'll buy you some tarpaulin on the roof of the shed, and you can lay it carefully so that it doesn't leak. There are also branches that have been cut down and dried in the sun and kept for use in the store. ”

Qi Ning is still very environmentally conscious, she cherishes the current environment very much, and she is afraid of polluting the river water.

"Ahh Qi Zhongleng was stunned, after the fight that day, he saw Qi Ning's eyes and regretted that his intestines were blue: "Girl, I live here alone?" ”

"Yes. Can you do it well? Qi Ning had a cold face, she had a plan in her heart from that day, this person can't be reused, keep it to do some hard work, if he has other thoughts, he will send it away, and don't leave trouble for himself, the reason why he still keeps his family now is for the sake of his parents' honesty and ability.

"Yes......." Qi Zhong was dissatisfied and didn't dare to speak.

"This is 500 Wen, if you are short of anything, you can go to the village to buy it, and if you can't buy it, I will bring it to you when I come, and I will come back every few days to see it in the future, I hope you will work honestly, I won't say anything else, you can do it yourself."

After Qi Ning finished speaking, he threw down Qi Zhong and the tools and grains and left. This is a chance she gave Qi Zhong, if he does a good job this time, it will be better to say in the future, Qi Ning has already started to want him, and he doesn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore.

On the way back, Qi Ning asked Qi Fugui: "What do I mean by leaving him, do you understand?" ”

"Thank you girl for keeping him, my kid is fooling around with the housekeeper's son in the original master's house, and he is a little slippery in learning, and the girl can bother to discipline him for his good, I only have gratitude in my heart."

Qi Fugui looked back at Qi Ning and said honestly. This son gave him a lot of headaches, but he didn't listen to it, he was afraid that Qi Ning would sell their family again one day. Because not all people are willing to buy a family, and after selling the minions twice, it is estimated that only those mines can buy them back to work as coolies.

Back in front of the shop, Qi Ning sent Qi Fugui back to help, and got out of the car and went directly to the market to find a vendor selling chicks and ducklings with a larger stall and asked, "Do you have white duck seedlings?" “

"Yes, but it's all sold out today."

"How much is a white duck seedling?"

"The male has four texts, and the female has five texts."

"Where's the chicken?" Qi Ning squatted down and picked up a fluffy chick and asked.

"Three pennies and hens are three pennies and two roosters are three pennies and two pennies are in the seedlings."

"Duck seedlings are all four male and female, I will have two hundred in a month and a half, and two and a half male and half female chickens will cost two hundred. What do you think? ”

"Okay, girl, I'm happy, I'm happy, I know you are the owner of the roast duck restaurant, you say I'll pull it over for you when the time comes."

"In a month and a half, you send it to me on time, I'm just starting to try to raise it, let's try less first, if it's okay, I'll buy it every month in the future."

"That girl will give a certain amount of money, I have a small profit, and I can't turn around if I have to harvest eggs."

"Okay, this is 500 Wen, you take it first, and the rest will be given to you when you send it, but you have to make sure that you can live." Qi Ning's understanding of breeding is all from the Internet, and she doesn't know that the survival rate of chicks and ducks is not 100%.

"I can't guarantee this, it depends on how well you raise, and it is very good to hatch, and after raising it for more than ten days, it is very good to live ninety-five in one hundred." The peddler was so frightened that he withdrew the hand that was about to take the money.

"Well, then, can you please send me to the mountain together, can you teach us by the way? I'll give you an extra 100 wen, not to mention that if I raise it well, I'll buy your chicken and duck seedlings every other month. ”

"Okay, just do as the girl said, and I'll take the duck seedlings with you to see it when the time comes." The peddler then reached out and took the money.

"And." Qi Ning was just about to leave when he suddenly remembered something: "Can that chicken and duck be fed with sake lees?" ”

"Yes, you can, but you have to ferment the sake lees in a vat for another three to five days, and then add 20 percent of the rice bran and 20 percent of the cornmeal. You have to wait for the chickens and ducks to grow for half a month before you can feed them like this. ”

"What were you fed half a month ago?"

"The chickens should be fed soaked millet, and the ducklings should be fed half-cooked rice at the beginning."

"So much trouble? Well, you can teach it then. Qi Ning's head was sweating when she listened, she thought that if she was fed with some green vegetables and cornmeal, she could let them move freely all over the mountain, but she didn't expect to have to work so hard when she was a child.

After saying goodbye here, Qi Ning went to the winery again, she was very familiar with the owner of the winery, because she had been selling their wine, and she was a neighbor on the same street.

As soon as Qi Ning walked into the door, she hurriedly greeted her: "Miss Qi is here." But do you want to send wine again? ”

"No, I'm looking for your shopkeeper."

"I'm really sorry, the shopkeeper went to collect the accounts, and he may not come back today. The girl has something to tell me, and I can make decisions on the small things. ”

"Do you sell the rest of your sake lees?"

"Sell, there are often pig farmers from the countryside who come to buy them."

"How did you sell it?"

"If the girl wants less, just take it." Work is polite.

"I want a lot, and I may have to pull a cart every few days in the future."

"There are so many, our shopkeeper sells them to others for two pennies a bucket." He pointed to the wooden barrel in the yard that had five or six large buckets of ordinary water.

"Okay, when I want it, come and tell you in advance, I'll go first, you stay. Later, I'll ask Iron Bull to bring you some duck paws to eat and play. ”

"Thank you, Miss Qi, when do you want the lees, say in advance that I will leave you a good one. If you want more, I'll tell the shopkeeper to give you a cheaper. "The young man sent Qi Ning out.

Qi Ning was already tired and had no strength, so he went back to the store to check around, and ordered Tie Niu to send a pack of duck feet to the young man at the winery, and then slept comfortably on the chaise longue under the grape trellis in the yard, and didn't get up to eat lunch.

In the days to come, Qi Ning asked Qi Fugui to drive her to Zhujia Village every once in a while, buy some things she needs and send them to see the crops in the field, and then go up the mountain to check around.

He also bought a wooden carriage and ordered two large wooden barrels for sake lees, preparing to let Qi Fugui deliver sake lees every five days in the future.

Qi Zhong may have figured it out and stopped complaining, he made great progress every day, he used wood as the backbone, dug deep pits and buried them steadily, and then used bamboo to break them to make a fence and press them, and some thorny shrubs on the mountain were dug out by him and planted outside the fence. Seeing that he did a good job, Qi Ning would bring him more food and drink when he came back in the future, and his face looked much better.

When the sheds were all ready, Qi Ning brought the delivery vendor, pulled chicks and ducklings, some grain and two large vasks for fermenting distiller's lees.

Qi Zhong has lived in the mountains for this time, and he has already liked the tranquility here, and he was very excited to hear that Qi Ning asked him to stay and raise chickens and ducks, he thought that Qi Ning might sell his whole family together, and now his worried heart has also been put down. Since then, Qi Zhong has been very attentive to his work and work, and he no longer dares to cheat and play tricks.

Qi Ning asked the hawker to tell Qi Zhong in detail how to raise it, and when Qi Zhong understood, he settled the rest of the money for the hawker and let him go first. Qi Ning helped to enclose the chickens and ducks in the corner of the shed, waited for the cold boiled water, and then instructed Qi Zhong: "Do it well." Qi Zhong nodded again and again. Qi Ning returned to the city with Qi Fugui with a lot of worry.
