Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

More people came into the kitchen. Mrs. Li and Wei Honglian came in, so it was no longer appropriate to talk about anything else.

Liu's mother said to Liu Caixia, "We have enough people here. Go talk to your father."

"Okay." Liu Caixia saw that the vegetables she had picked were almost ready. There were indeed many people cooking in the kitchen, so she went to find Liu's father after she came out.

Liu's father works at the breeding farm. He hires servants to do the work for him, and only pays people from the village to help with some odd jobs.

The first batch of chicks have grown much bigger than a fist. Father Liu now wants to let them roam freely, so he has put the depression next to them to use.

When Liu Caixia arrived, she saw Liu's father and two other men driving the chickens in the yard into a depression surrounded by a bamboo fence.

"Giggle..."

After the last chick went in, Father Liu closed the fence door and said, "We need to build some more bamboo fences to enclose the shallow land over there. The chicks at the back will grow up soon. They can find some insects in the soil to eat when they come over here. They will also be able to lay more eggs later."

"Okay, we'll make more after we finish feeding when we have nothing to do in the afternoon."

"father!"

When Liu's father saw Liu Caixia coming, he called her over and said, "Caixia, come and see. This rabbit has grown a lot. I guess it won't be long before we can kill one and try it out."

Liu Caixia looked at the rabbit in the yard. It had indeed grown a lot. It was a gray and ugly bunny eating vegetable leaves.

"Dad, where's Piggy?"

"It takes at least two to three months for a piglet to mature. Although it will grow faster after being fanned, without oil, water or feed, no matter how fast it grows, it will not be ready for slaughter in a few months like today."

"It's really hard to buy pork recently. The price has gone up a bit. Even though the vegetarian dishes in the store are selling well, there are still many people complaining that there is not enough meat!"

"There is no other way. That's why I said we should expand the scale. At least we should be self-sufficient."

"Indeed, we still have too little meat. We don't need to grow so many vegetables. The vegetables we harvest from the nearby villages are more than enough."

"The mountains behind us are not enough to feed the animals even if we harvest them all, not to mention now. The food sent by the village is barely enough. As the pigs get bigger and the chickens grow more, we will have to increase the purchase volume from other villages. These are all controlled by others, and it is not as secure as having it ourselves."

"Yes, there is no unified and fixed supply channel now. It would be troublesome if there were any changes."

Liu Caixia followed her father around the farm while they were inspecting it. "Dad, I have an idea. You said we should sign a supply agreement with the village chief. We can pay the village chief a little, or he can benefit from it, and he will help us to check this. If there are any problems, the village chief can also notify us in advance. Let us be prepared and not be caught off guard."

"Sure. I'll ask the villagers to help plant sweet potatoes in a few days. Let's talk to Village Chief Wan first. Then let him make arrangements with the two surrounding villages. For now, the amount sent by the three villages should be enough for us."

"Dad, did that potato work? Potatoes can be a good thing!"

"I've planted them, but there are only a few potatoes. I don't know how much I can harvest, but I've seen that it's definitely successful. I'll wait until the leaves wilt a little before I harvest them and start new seedlings. If I want to achieve potato freedom, I'll probably have to plant two more times. And we don't have enough land. I'm still thinking about what to do next? How to promote this new food."

"Hasn't this been discussed? We'll make plans after they finish the exam. If someone in the family passes the exam, we can hand it over to the county magistrate. We originally came here to escape famine, so it's possible that we brought some new seeds with us."

Liu Caixia thought the problem was not that big. Potatoes are not rice, and they are not high-end. In addition, they look very ordinary, similar to sweet potatoes, but they taste much better. At that time, the land was barren and most people could not get enough to eat. Sweet potatoes were their staple food. I believe that if potatoes were added, the people of this dynasty would have a much better life in the future.

As long as the ruler is not the kind of person who cannot faint any more, this new type of food will be very popular. Only when the people are well fed will they become more prosperous and powerful.

"I was thinking if we could get more rewards."

"Dad, we have no power or influence now, so we should not be too greedy. It's good for our family to live together in peace."

Father Liu's idea must be much more ambitious than Liu Caixia's, but after hearing what Liu Caixia said, he still nodded and said, "Well, you are right. The quantity is not much now. Let's wait until next year. Save all the seeds grown this year and hand them in after the crops are grown next year. This way, we can save more seeds and give more to others."

"Well, maybe there will be other opportunities for our family in the future?"

Liu Caixia told her father about her relationship with Lin Weizhong again, and received his approval. Her relationship with Lin Weizhong was thus finalized. They would make further plans at the end of the year.

Their family must live together. Although these people still live together, it cannot be like it is now. Every household should have their own life.

This year is a special case, and living together like this for a long time is not a long-term solution.

"Caixia, the lowland next to us cannot be converted into a fish pond at the moment. We are currently using these to raise free-range chicks. The main reason is that we have collected too many chicks recently. And they were collected one by one. When the chicks are still too young, they cannot be raised together with the big ones. They are easy to be stepped on and killed. At this time, the space is a bit insufficient, so I can only move the big ones in front to this side to raise them. There will be no such concerns when they grow up."

"Dad, I'll give you some more money! Chickens have a faster return rate. You don't have to grow them very big before you can kill them. Also, I think Liu Hao's channel for collecting these chicks is relatively stable, so we don't have to hatch them ourselves for the time being. I see that there are indeed quite a few chicks here. If they are not enough, we can just get them from the rabbits."

"There are more than a thousand chicks now. There are more and more rabbits now. The girl Liu Hao introduced is really good. She takes good care of rabbits. She has given birth to two litters since she came here. I plan to send you the rabbits and chickens I slaughtered before."

"Okay. Young chicken tastes good and is relatively tender. I will introduce some new dishes later. There are indeed not many meat dishes now. Recently, I asked them to make pork meatballs and chicken meatballs. The quantity is not large, but it is meat after all."
