Sign in and get rich in farming

The second aunt's satisfaction with the son-in-law was all shown in the teaching she gave to her daughter on the way back, which also resulted in Hu Tao having no time to seek revenge on her cousin for being ridiculed.

Yu Hongdou listened with great interest. These were the guidance and expectations that a mother had for her married daughter.

As a mother, she instilled into her daughter all the conclusions of her half life, no matter whether they were right or wrong, hoping that her daughter could be happy and avoid the detours that she, as a mother, had to take.

Unfortunately, perhaps because Second Aunt’s voice was too hypnotic, or the rhythm of the rocking of the carriage was too soothing, Yu Hongdou fell asleep halfway through listening.

She slept until dark. When she opened her eyes, Qian Sanmei told her that the rabbit had given birth.

Yu Hongdou jumped up. She had almost forgotten about the two rabbits, but unexpectedly she got a pleasant surprise.

The two rabbits stayed in the cellar for several days. Perhaps the dark and quiet environment gave them a sense of security, and they finally adapted to the feeling of being in captivity.

Qian Sanmei and Aunt Qian saw that the rabbits were no longer nervous or afraid. Occasionally, when the sun was better, they would carry the rabbit cages to a secluded place behind the house to let them get some air and light.

In this way, the rabbit, which ate its fill and slept every day and then basked in the sun after waking up, soon became fat.

Every time Yu Sanlang saw a rabbit, he would clamor to kill it and eat its meat. Compared with other meats, he preferred rabbit because rabbit meat was tender.

For long-term development, Yu Hongdou used both reason and emotion to persuade her father and finally convinced him to build a luxurious rabbit villa for Rabbit. She just moved in yesterday, but unexpectedly she gave birth today.

Yu Hongdou pulled at the straw curtain covering the luxurious rabbit cage, trying to peek at the little rabbits, but she saw nothing except the big rabbit's fur and wary eyes.

Qian Sanmei whispered beside her: "Eight babies were born, and they all look like they can survive."

Fearing that the big rabbits would be frightened and bite the little rabbits to death, Yu Hongdou did not force it. She just asked Qian Sanmei to keep a closer eye on them and feed them more carefully. When there were more rabbits in the future, she would send them to the farm and let the people on the farm raise rabbits as well.

Raising rabbits means being able to eat rabbit meat, get rabbit fur, and sell it for money... This simple formula directly became an imprint and drilled into Qian Sanmei's mind, so she took better care of the rabbits.

In order not to miss any details in the rabbit breeding process, she also learned to take notes like Duan Yuan. For this purpose, after learning to read from Aunt Qian, she followed the young lady and occasionally she would muster up the courage to ask the young lady.

When the Taoyuan Village School opened, it enrolled a total of seven children, one of whom was Gao Hongyang's own son, and one was from Taoxi Village below. There were only five children in Taoyuan Village, which shows how rare children of Yu Hongdou's age are.

Among seven children, Yu Hongdou was the only girl. Although the imperial court encouraged women to remarry and go out to work for a living because of the population disaster, some people still isolated women in some aspects.

Yu Sanlang prepared six gifts as a gift: celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and lean meat.

Except for the last piece of lean meat which represents the heart, the others are for their auspicious meanings.

In addition to the tuition fee, Yu Sanlang also paid a red envelope as tuition fees, and most other parents did the same. Although Gao Hongyang claimed that he was just accumulating virtue in his spare time, no one really thought that going to school was a free thing.

Even though Yu Hongdou was a girl, Gao Hongyang did not look down on her and taught her even more attentively.

After discovering that Yu Hongdou's basic knowledge was already higher than that of all the students in the school, including his own son, he even kept her for an extra quarter of an hour every day to give her and his son Niu Niu special lessons.

Yu Hongdou enjoyed and appreciated Gao Hongyang's care, so she tolerated Gao Hongyang's wife who occasionally showed up with a look of disgust.

The school only had classes half a day, and Gao Hongyang had to study in the afternoon, so Yu Hongdou moved the study of medicinal herbs with his grandfather to the afternoon.

After lunch, I took a nap, got up, and went to the old house to study herbs for an hour.

I practiced archery on the way home from the old house, and when I got home I had some snacks and fruits, played with Wangwang for a while, read some books and did some homework.

In the evening, after having dinner early, I entered the teaching mode and learned some boxing and kicking.

Yu Sanlang and Xu Shi found their daughter had planned her day clearly, and they couldn't help feeling amused and proud at the same time. Whose child could be so sensible?

……

Xu was comforted by her daughter's relief, but she was still worried.

The biggest headache for me lately is the eggs that have become an overwhelming problem at home.

The farm had to pay more than 1000 chicken and duck eggs as rent every year. Yu Sanlang thought that eggs were a common dish, so he did not sell them. He only asked the farm to send 100 chicken eggs and 100 duck eggs each month.

There are 200 eggs every month, and with the chickens at home starting to lay eggs, I can pick up three or four eggs a day.

Including Aunt Qian, Third Sister Qian, and Duan Yuan who occasionally came over, there were only six people in their family. They consumed five or six eggs every day and could barely use up all the energy.

But my husband and daughter have become picky eaters and recently have refused to eat eggs. Even if we share the eggs for the two of them with Aunt Qian and Third Sister Qian, the eggs in the house still cannot be finished.

It was almost next month and the weather was getting hotter. Xu was afraid that the eggs would not keep well, so it would be inconvenient to give them as gifts. If she showed her kindness for no reason, the other person would be worried.

Her younger brother and sister-in-law are not at home, and her nephew is about to take an exam, so they have gone back to the Fu family to accompany him in his studies. The second room next door raises more chickens than hers.

And 100 chicken eggs are fine, but these 100 duck eggs are difficult to handle. Whether boiled or fried, they have a fishy smell and can only be pickled into salted eggs.

The problem is that salted eggs have to be pickled for a while before they can be eaten, and by the time they are ready to eat them, a new wave of eggs has been delivered.

Xu looked at the remaining one hundred eggs worriedly and sighed again.

After Yu Hongdou traveled through time, she knew that living conditions were limited, so except for occasionally craving for meat, she never ordered any dishes.

Because she didn't know what dishes could be cooked and what could not be cooked. After all, there was not even peanut oil at the moment, so how could she dare to ask for a bicycle?

Now, when she heard her mother say that there were still many duck eggs to be processed, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Just when she was about to suggest pickling them into salted duck eggs, her mother had already complained about the trouble of pickling duck eggs. Yu Hongdou tilted her head and thought about it, and then she thought of the king of duck egg making methods - the Songhua Egg.

As far as she could remember, preserved eggs seemed to have a very long shelf life.

At least during the years of quarantine, her family's preserved eggs lasted for almost a year without any problems. Moreover, the preserved eggs did not need to be pickled, just wrapped them and placed in a cool and dry place.

It’s much easier than buying salted duck eggs, which requires both a jar and salt. The key is, she loves to eat them!

Thanks to the knowledge taught by the school and the information indoctrination of the Internet era, Yu Hongdou remembered that preserved eggs use alkali to make the protein gel, and alkali is directly equated with the wood ash she often uses recently.

Yu Hongdou decided to try it herself, so she found a clay basin, filled it half with wood ash, mixed it with some rice husks and yellow mud, and then wrapped the five salted duck eggs she got from Xu with the wood ash mud. Finally, she covered them with another layer of wood ash and went to her brother's room.

Since her brother wasn't coming back anyway, Yu Hongdou guiltily stuffed the clay basin containing the preserved eggs under her brother's bed.
