Chapter 200 Raising Incense Deer
The arrival of the three fragrant roe deer gave Xu Shiyan some more errands, and he had to find food for them.
The roe deer nibble on the young branches and leaves of moss, lichen, pine and fir.
In winter, moss and lichen are hard to find, but there are pine trees, so just cut some from the surrounding woods and throw them into the pen to feed.
With a little cabbage leaves or something, you can feed it.
Seeing that the scale of Xu Shiyan's breeding is also getting bigger and bigger, Xu Shixian and Xu Shi'an are worried.
"Third child, you raise these things, so wait for the New Year to go down the mountain, what can you do?"
No one is watching from the mountains, these sables, otters or something, must not be harmed by some beasts?
If you get it home, you can have so much to feed? It's not easy to arrange.
"Well, it's really not easy, so we'll see.
Now I have less raising, so if I can't do it, I'll get them down when I go down the mountain. ”
Xu Shiyan also thought about this problem, but there is really no good way to solve it at the moment.
Anyway, it's a little fight now, and it can be arranged.
He bothered to raise it first, and then he would talk about it after reading this stubble field, and then it would be time to contract to the household.
If the team still uses him to watch ginseng, then he will build a farm near here and hire two blind rooks to work.
If he didn't need to continue to look at the ginseng, then he would go down the mountain, and it happened that the mountain bag behind his house was very good, and it was enough to make a small farm.
Xu Shixian's brothers don't have any good ideas, this farm is too small, and it's not worth working together as brothers.
Of course, I don't dare to make it big now, and Xu Shiyanhu, who is making a small fuss, is playing around.
If you build a big farm right now, hehe, then it doesn't necessarily belong to anyone.
"Well, brother has to remind you, don't be too big, otherwise it's easy to make people blush.
We must not forget the lessons we have learned, but we still have to be careful.
I look at this policy, maybe it will change, take your time, if there is really any chance, it would be good for the three of us brothers to do something together. ”
Over there, Xu Shi'an had to give his younger brother a wake-up call.
The brothers are all well-intentioned, Xu Shiyan understands it, he knows it in his heart, and he is currently maintaining it like this, and he is not in a hurry to expand.
Xu Shixian and Xu Shi'an are on the mountain, and they follow Xu Shiyan every day, either to fight pine nuts, or to hunt wild boars, find black blind people, pick badgers or something, and they can always get something.
It's a bit of a happy thing and doesn't want to go home.
I don't blame them, the key is that the daughters-in-law all go to work to earn money, and they are idle at home all day long.
The daughter-in-law always nagged that they didn't make money, but the vegetable team didn't work in this winter, so why did they go?
It's better to be in the mountains, even if you can't make money, you can still eat something.
In this way, the brother lived in the mountains until the end of December, and he really saved a lot of things.
On December 30th, Xu Shiyan went down the mountain, borrowed two horses from the team to climb the plow, and pulled all these things down the mountain.
Lemon deer, sable, otter are all put into cages and placed on the first climbing plow.
The climbing plough in the middle pulled all kinds of food, mainly pine nuts, walnuts, wisps, and wild boar meat and black blind meat.
Finally, it was four dogs pulling a climbing plough with food for sables and otters.
Xu Chenghou and his wife have moved to a new house, but the old couple are still on Xu Shiyan's side during the day.
Xu Chenghou was making furniture for his son in the suite of the East House, and Zhou Guilan helped watch Xu Haiyuan.
This kid is so naughty, Su Anying wants to take care of her daughter, so she can't take care of him.
If Zhou Guilan doesn't come to help, Su Anying will take the two children, I'm afraid she won't even be able to eat.
As soon as the brothers came back, Xu Chenghou and his wife were also very happy.
But when I saw the animals that Xu Shiyan brought back, I had a little headache, how can I raise this?
"It's okay, just put them in the three rooms on the east side first, and when I go up the mountain after the New Year, I have to take them up."
Xu Shiyan had already thought about this on the mountain, and the three houses in the east were empty, and it was useless to keep them, so they were used to put these animals first.
Bury it, bury it, anyway, it won't live in people, and it will be a flip in a few years.
Living in a human house for animals, Xu Chenghou and his family are a little incomprehensible.
But there is no trick, who told Xu Shiyan to get so many open-mouthed beasts?
"Alas, I don't know what to say about you, wouldn't it be nice to take a good look at ginseng and hunt? Why do you have to keep these things?
People say that those who have a lot of money don't count, can you make money by doing these things? Don't waste your time. ”
Zhou Guilan was worried, afraid that her son would work in vain and would not be able to earn money.
"Mom, if I say that I will make money, you will not believe it.
Anyway, it takes a little effort, and nothing else costs, so let's keep it.
If it can really develop, it will definitely make money in the future, but there is not much effect at the moment. ”
Xu Shiyan smiled, he didn't argue with his mother, he didn't blame the old man, their cognition was different.
The development of breeding itself is not easy, and if it is not large-scale, it is indeed not very profitable.
It is necessary to expand the scale and cycle from generation to generation in order to see profits.
Take your time, he is not in a hurry, the main thing is that now is not the time, it is a small fight to make a bottom first, seize the opportunity, and talk about it later.
In this way, the otters and sables were put in cages, put up a shelf and placed in the adobe landlord's house, and the three incense deer were released from the cage and locked up in the west house.
Anyway, this is also a house, sheltered from the wind and snow, much stronger than the shed outside.
After settling the livestock and moving all the things, Xu Shiyan and Xu Shi'an drove the horses and plows back to the team.
Then back home, the family was lively and chatting together.
Xu Shiyan came back from going up the mountain for more than a month, and was naturally very happy to see his wife and children, so he first picked up Xu Haiyuan and threw it twice, making the little guy giggle.
"Son, you're sinking again, your father can't hold you anymore."
Xu Haiyuan, this kid eats very well after weaning, and Zhou Guilan and Su Anying's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also careful in feeding, the little guy is not thin, but he is getting stronger and stronger.
Xu Shiyan hugged his son and threw it a few times, he felt that his arm was sore, he was afraid that something would happen, so he quickly put his son down.
Where is Xu Haiyuan?
On weekdays, no one at home can coax him like this, Pi Boy, he likes to play some exciting games the most, so he snorted vigorously and asked Xu Shiyan to throw it twice.
Xu Shiyan could only find another way to let his son step on the instep of his feet.
Xu Shiyan sat on the edge of the kang, grabbed his son, and let him swing on his feet.
Xu Haiyuan had never played like this, and he was happy all of a sudden, and the two of them played for a while, and Xu Haiyuan came down happily.
coaxed her son, just as her daughter woke up, Su Anying fed the child and changed her diaper.
Only then did he stuff his daughter to Xu Shiyan and let him coax Su Anying to cook.
Seeing that the little girl who is almost two months old is much better looking than when she was born.
The little face is white and red and pink, and a pair of big black eyes are bright and bright.
Such a small baby actually has eyelashes, which are quite long, and it is rare to die.
Xu Shiyan hugged his daughter, no matter how he looked at it, he liked it.
"Girl, you grow up quickly, when you grow up, your father will buy you a lot of beautiful dresses, and he will definitely dress you up as the most beautiful little girl."
