Father Shen suffered the most from this incident. After sitting for a while, he couldn't even wait for lunch, so he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.Mrs. Zhang is better, but she is also really scared.
Everyone is not stupid, this time the matter can be resolved so easily, it is inseparable from Fang Tianlin.Without his previous deterrence, the village chief would not have treated him so fairly.
Different status and different considerations.The village head is fairly righteous, but that is on the premise that the interests of his class will not be affected.Usually, in order to maintain the status of the parents, as long as it is not excessive, the children are the ones who are sacrificed.This is not just the case in Guangyan Village, but the entire Jing Dynasty, it is the same way, which is conducive to the rule of the upper class.
Seeing that the two elders were physically and mentally exhausted, Fang Tianlin went back to the room and poured two bowls of honey water, and let Shen Jiahe end into the upper room.Space water already has a weak calming effect, and the effect of space water essence will be better.
"Water, father, water..."
Fang Tianlin felt that his pants were being pulled, and when he lowered his head, he realized that it was his second son, and when he saw Shen Song standing behind him, he immediately understood what was going on.
The children are eleven months old, they can already walk crookedly, and they can speak much more clearly.Shen Bi and Shen Huang are alright, since Shen Zhang was able to walk, he often begged his parents to ask him to go down to the ground, he didn't like their support, he wanted to walk by himself, he cried a few times when he fell, and continued to get up after crying, so Repeatedly, never tired of it.
Fang Tianlin knelt down and picked Shen Zhang up: "Xiao Song, go and bring in bowls. Each person in the family has a bowl, and each bowl digs a spoonful of honey water. After making it, send it to your parents, uncles, and aunts. They rush by themselves."
"Okay, Third Aunt." After reporting to Fang Tianlin, Shen Song has been taking care of the triplets at home. He didn't know what was going on outside. Now that he heard something delicious, he ran out happily .
The honey water that Fang Tianlin gave to his sister-in-law last time was still left, but no one thought about it at this time, until the children brought it in front of them.
Eating sweets can help ease the mood, especially the honey water added with the essence of space water, the effect is even better. After a bowl of it, the Shen family feels much better.
After a simple lunch, Fang Tianlin put the triplets in a large basket with a canopy and sent them to the upper room.The laughter of the children can bring happiness to people. With them, the elders will not be so depressed all the time.
The triplets were very clever, and after Fang Tianlin told them a few times not to make too much noise, even the most active Shen Zhang became much quieter.Now it's time for them to take a nap again, so they won't be tired.
"Do you want to sleep for a while?" Fang Tianlin sighed as he embraced Shen Jiahe, who was drooping his head.It's such a big deal, even he, who is not short-tempered, feels a little irritated.But he didn't dare to underestimate these things, many things are broken by such small things, "Jiahe, don't blame yourself, if you think so, then I have to do a self-examination?"
Shen Jiahe quickly shook his head in denial.
"Isn't that enough? None of us is right about this matter. If you want to blame, blame uncle and the others. Don't torment yourself." Fang Tianlin got up, "Since you don't want to sleep, follow me to the woods."
It is late autumn now, the noon sun shines on the body warmly, it seems to be able to sweep away all the haze in the world, and it makes people feel uplifted.
Shen Jiahe was so relieved by Fang Tianlin, he felt a little less annoyed, and no longer blamed himself.He originally thought that his uncle would go into the chicken farm to catch a few chickens, then nothing would happen.He knew this, but if he was asked to do it again, he would still do it like before, this was the reason why Shen Jiahe was depressed.Now he figured it out, what he did was right, it was the auntie and the others who pushed too hard, not because he was unfilial and too stingy.
When you are in a good mood, you can see everything.Shen Jiahe looked around and saw no one around, so he took the initiative to hold Fang Tianlin's left hand, and the two fingers intertwined.
Fang Tianlin turned his head and saw Shen Jiahe's reddish ear tips, with a smile in his eyes.
Since raising so many chickens, Fang Tianlin has used all the one ton of inner space water that Fang Tianlin can extract every day.Sometimes even the ground needs to be watered, and it is not even enough, and the previous stock needs to be used.Now, he no longer has to think about how to extract the essence of space water, it is enough to meet the immediate needs.
Of course, people are more important than anything else. If there is insufficient water in the inner space, crops and livestock must be the first to reduce the consumption.
Of the one hundred chickens raised by Fang Tianlin, except for the three he sent out a few days ago, there are still eighty chickens left.For this result, the Shen family, including Fang Tianlin, were very satisfied.Most of the seventeen chickens that died were lost when they were chicks. For large-scale chicken farming, this loss is nothing.
Fang Tianlin has no plans to sell this batch of chickens for the time being, and he will not buy chicks from outside in the future, and will rely on his own hatching.The number of chickens raised must also be controlled, and a batch of chickens should be slaughtered every two months. According to needs, one hundred to two hundred chickens should be raised in each batch.
The water in the inner space is limited, and there are too many places that need to be used. It is impossible for Fang Tianlin to use it all to raise chickens.Since then, the scale of raising chickens has been fixed, with a total of about [-] chickens.
"Daughter-in-law, come here quickly, look!" Shen Jiahe leaned over and took out an egg from a grass nest, and handed it to his daughter-in-law like a treasure.
Fang Tianlin took it over and took a look. The eggs were very small, not comparable in size to the eggs laid by the old hen at home.Even so, he felt a little bit of joy in his heart. Seeing the egg meant that there would be income immediately, which was good news.
"Look again, maybe there are more."
In the end, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe dug out a total of seven eggs, all of which were smaller than ordinary eggs.After that, the two went to see the chickens raised by the sister-in-law and the others, but found nothing, but judging by the growth of those chickens, it should be soon.
That night, all these eggs were on the dinner table.
"The eggs taste good!" Father Shen ate the yellow and reddish egg flowers in the bowl contentedly, and the unhappiness in the morning disappeared a lot.The chicken tastes good, and the eggs are equally good. Both of these should fetch a good price, at least not worry about selling.
"Father, I want to keep these chickens as breeders, and I won't sell them for the time being, and only sell eggs that can't hatch chicks." Fang Tianlin told everyone present his thoughts.
"Well, you can figure it out yourself." Father Shen knows what the third daughter-in-law is capable of. This chicken can be raised like this, it is all thanks to the third daughter-in-law, and he doesn't mix it up, "It's just the third daughter-in-law, so many What are you going to do with the eggs?"
Speaking of eggs, Fang Tianlin also began to worry.Of the [-] chickens, more than [-] are hens, who can collect [-] to [-] eggs a day. It is impossible to send people to the town to sell eggs every day, right?What's more, he didn't want to sell these eggs cheaply, they were the eggs laid by the chickens he had fed the inner space water for more than five months!As the space water feeding time continues to increase, the nutritional value of eggs will become higher and higher, and it is too bad to sell an egg for a penny.
"Father, let me think about it again."
"Okay, it's not urgent, just think it over and make it right. Anyway, the eggs laid by the chickens are small these days, and almost no one is willing to buy them." Finally seeing the money in the account, Old Shen was happy and his depression dissipated. Not a lot.
This is not all because of what happened in the morning. The Shen family has never raised so many chickens. No one thought that the cost of raising chickens would be so high. give up.
Chickens don’t show up when they are young, and they can’t spend a few catties of food a day. Three months later, the chickens are already half-grown, and their food intake has increased greatly. Excluding the dead ones, there are still nearly a thousand chickens in the chicken farm. Dozens of catties are fed every day. Even if the food is leftovers, such as bran and crushed corn, the price is not high. On average, a catty is just a little over a penny, and most of them are produced by the Shen family. Big burden.
Dozens of pens a day, and this number will continue to increase as the chicken grows bigger.How many taels of silver are spent a month to raise chickens, which farmer has such courage?As far as the Shen family saved up, if they had no income, they probably wouldn't be able to last for a few months.
Continuous investment, but no benefits have been seen, and every heart of the Shen family is hanging high.
Fang Tianlin didn't expect this to happen, he underestimated.If he is really allowed to pay all the capital, I am afraid that it may not be enough for him to take out all his private houses. At that time, he can only go to the city to sell the inventory in the water space behind his back.
Fortunately, the first batch of chickens have grown up, and the eggs can be sold in batches immediately. At that time, the daily investment can be reduced, and the worries in everyone's hearts can be reduced a lot.
The uncle's family has thick skins, and the two families have become so troubled. They even see the sky fetching water from the spring pool to eat, and they are not afraid of feeling disgusted after drinking it.
Fortunately, the gate on the other side of the forest is not directly facing the spring pool, so if the two sides don't meet each other, they will live in peace.
"Father, what is this?" Fang Tianlin glanced at the two polite servants who were not wearing official uniforms, a little puzzled.
"Third daughter-in-law, they're here to buy chicken." Father Shen had a slight smile on his face.At first he thought they were here to provoke, and he was very anxious.
"How much do you pay for it?" Fang Tianlin asked bluntly.Be polite to them at this time, then it was a waste of acting the previous time.
"Fifteen cents a catty, what do you think?" The two had discussed the price before, and Zhou Yi reported the amount directly.
"How many do you want? I don't have too many." Fang Tianlin thought for a while, and the price was acceptable. Domestic chickens usually cost ten cents a catty, and Zhou Yi's price was even higher than the price of pheasants.
"There are only ten?" Zhou Yi and Zhang Ting didn't expect this, and their hearts were suspended. If they didn't even have this number, then they would offend others.
Fang Tianlin didn't intend to sell these chickens, but he also understood that it was okay to scare people, but he was not so capable if he really wanted to confront the government.He is not alone, he can't lead the Shen family to flee to the end of the world, and if he can make the yamen guards act with scruples, his goal has been achieved.No, the two yamen came here to buy chickens from him, instead of asking for them directly, and there is a big difference in this.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't intend to sell this chicken at first, so I only sold it to you for the sake of the two of you. You have to save some food." Fang Tianlin paused, and then said, "Father, you first Say hello to the two servants, I'll go catch the chicken."
There is only one room on this side of the woods, which is divided into two rooms inside and outside, the outside room is used as a living room, and the inside room is used for sleeping.After Fang Tianlin left, Zhou Yi and Zhang Ting immediately let out a sigh of relief.This man put a lot of pressure on them. When they saw him, they remembered the scene where Fang Tianlin split an old tree stump with an axe. If the ax fell on a person, how could they survive?
Shen's chickens are all free-range. Thanks to Fang Tianlin's division of the chicken farm into several areas, otherwise it would take a lot of effort just to catch the chickens.
After tying up the ten chickens one by one and putting them into two back baskets, Fang Tianlin thought for a while, then went to pick up another twenty eggs, and wrapped them in straw curtains so as not to break them.
When Fang Tianlin entered the yard, the atmosphere in the room was quite good.
As soon as Shen Jiahe saw his daughter-in-law, he hurried forward with a steelyard.
"Master Zhou, Mr. Zhang, take a good look, don't say I'm ignorant of you." Fang Tianlin brought the chicken to the two yamen, and said in front of them, "29 catties, a total of 430 nine cents. , the change will be wiped off for you, just pay 430 Wen."
After finishing speaking, Fang Tianlin took out another small basket: "There are only so many chickens in this batch. I can't sell you too much, but the eggs are enough. These are freshly laid eggs. They are a little small in size, and the taste is not as good. I want to come here for a while." In a few days, these chickens can produce eggs of normal size. If you eat well, you can come to my house to buy them for three Wen. If you need a large amount, my family can also be responsible for door-to-door delivery. Come over It's not easy, these eggs are considered as travel expenses, no money, just give you free."
When Zhou Yi and Zhang Ting faced Fang Tianlin, they couldn't show the momentum they used to face the villagers. They didn't want to stay longer, and they left after paying the money and getting the goods.Father Shen also knew this, politely asked them to stay, and then sent them out.
"Father, you keep the money. There are so many chickens in the house, and the demand for fodder is increasing. Although our family works harder, we can raise enough food for the winter, but eating alone is easy to be envied by others. Why don't we just spend some money?" Money buys some hay fodder from the villagers, no one will make things difficult for money, right?" Fang Tianlin knows that human nature is too complicated, and when the gap between the two sides is not big, they will be jealous and jealous, and only when the height is too high for others to touch, they Only then will I be envious and admired in my heart, instead of thinking of ways to play tricks behind the scenes and hinder me at any time.
The Shen family has not reached such a point, so it is very necessary to give some benefits.After all, there are only a small number of people who have benefited but don't read well. If the Shen family collapses, they will not be able to do well, and will suffer losses.Bind everyone's interests in the same boat, and they will unconsciously defend the Shen family. If someone in the village wants to do something to the Shen family, these people may be the first to stand up to oppose it.
Seeing that the money he had just received was about to fly out again, Father Shen felt a little bit reluctant.Since last month, the family has been struggling to make ends meet.Especially in the past few days, he had suffered a minor illness due to mental distress, although his situation may not even be considered a disease to the peasant family.The fact is the same, within two days he recovered without medicine, but the money was not less, and the food and drink were better than before, so everyone took him as a sick patient.Coupled with the daily investment of the chicken farm, including him, there is no one in the Shen family who understands the truth and does not worry about it.
People who adhere to Father Shen's idea account for the majority in Jingchao.Not many people dare to borrow money to do business. Only when real money is held in their hands can people feel at ease.Without seeing the real benefits, not many people will try it rashly, even if they are full of tongues and rhetoric.
Fortunately, Father Shen is not an ignorant person, he knows what the third daughter-in-law said is reasonable, and if he can give up a little profit in exchange for the safe development of the Shen family, it is really the most cost-effective.But if he knew it, he knew it, and his heart still throbbed with pain.Although fodder is worthless, if it continues to be like this, it will be a considerable sum if it accumulates over time.
This kind of thing is of course my family's priority, but this time, Father Shen skipped the uncle's family. It is true that after the incident happened a few days ago, the friendship between brothers has faded to the point that it is not as good as strangers. It's all for Grandpa's sake.
There are many types of fodder, and sweet potato vines are one of the best roughages, and the Shen family gave priority to buying this.
Every household in Guangyan Village grows sweet potatoes. It is impossible for Shen's family to take care of all the villagers. Except for relatives and friends, they start to collect sweet potatoes from those who are living in a difficult life. The amount of hundreds of words, those who can't make it, just wait until the next time.
Fang Tianlin never thought of taking care of everything, it's impossible.The water source in Guangyan Village is limited, and the scale of breeding can be expanded in normal years. Now the Shahe River is almost completely dry. If it weren't for the springs coming out of Shen's house, I am afraid that the current scale will not be maintained. Without water, everything will be out of the question.This meant that within a period of time, the Shen family would only be able to benefit some of the villagers.
This is considered good in Guangyan Village. In addition to daily drinking water, there is still a surplus for washing and watering the fields. Some nearby villages have begun to reuse water. Fortunately, the draft has not yet reached such a critical point. Otherwise, this day will really be impossible pass.
After Zhou Yi and Zhang Ting returned home with ten chickens, they packed them and gave them away.Regardless of whether the gift was effective or not, the two became interested in those eggs.
Three papers and two, the price is not low.Of course, this is only for ordinary people. If the eggs are of good quality and sold to wealthy families, it is not uncommon for an egg to sell for five or ten.
The two originally thought of cooperating with the Shen family to sell chickens, but now it seems that this plan is temporarily unworkable, so they settled for the next best thing, selling eggs.As long as these eggs taste better than ordinary eggs as Fang Tianlin said, then the business will be successful.
That night, Zhou Yi and Zhang Ting cooked all the eggs they got in different ways, and let the family members taste them. After confirming that the taste was indeed better than ordinary home-raised eggs, the two decided immediately and spent a few days to treat them A shopkeeper was appointed to take charge of this matter.
Ten chickens were bought all at once, and there were only 35 left in the first batch of chickens. The temperature is not too low now, and the number of eggs laid by the chickens is within the normal range.At the beginning, only a dozen or so eggs could be harvested every day. After all the chickens laid eggs, the number of eggs harvested per day began to stabilize, and basically remained at around [-].
Even though the income and expenditure could not be fully balanced, the Shen family members were all smiling.They saw the hope of making money. In a few months, when the second batch of nearly a thousand chickens grew up, even if it was calculated at two catties each, fifteen yuan a catty, a chicken would be worth thirty yuan, eighty-nine How can a hundred chickens be sold for two to thirty taels, which is not a small profit.
Now the second batch of chickens weighs more than a catty, and they are barely edible. The Shen family is afraid of being thieves, so the four Shenjiahe brothers guard them in two or two rounds at night.
Two hounds were also released into the woods as a warning.For this reason, the Shen family also deliberately left a dog hole in each area to facilitate the entry and exit of two hunting dogs.
Fang Tianlin named the two hounds, one named Zhaocai and the other named Jinbao.He trained them according to the requirements of military dogs, the first one being that unknown food should not be eaten.
The two hounds are not yet fully grown, so it's okay to let them be vigilant, but it's not good enough to catch thieves and assist in hunting.But this is enough, it is not easy for a thief to get into the woods, and the fence with octagonal thorns outside is not for decoration.What are you talking about, if you can't climb the wall, you can dig a hole?It is about attracting wealth and treasure. It is estimated that when someone approaches the fence at night, they will be greeted by barking dogs. How can there be any chance for them to implement this plan?
"My third daughter-in-law, I have saved a lot of eggs at home. It's easy to sell one for one penny, but if you want to sell two for three pennies, you have to think of a way. I'm afraid it won't work at the market. Why don't I take it to the wine shop first?" Said Up to this point, even Father Shen himself was a little unsure.He was well acquainted with the purchase of that restaurant, and when the prey was brought there, the money he gave was not bad, but that was all. It was difficult to sell for more than half the price.
"Father, let's wait and see. The temperature is not high now, and the eggs can be stored for a long time, so we don't have to worry so much." Fang Tianlin always felt that selling his eggs for a penny was too much money.
The restaurant that Father Shen was talking about was related to the Shen family's wild game business. If the negotiation with Caimai broke down, they would have to accept the eggs one by one, which would be a big trouble for the Shen family.After all, although the price the man charged was average, only slightly higher than the market price, it saved the Shen family a lot of trouble.As long as there is a way to buy, they don't have to go to the market to sell their prey.
Therefore, this restaurant will be considered as the last one, and only when the eggs really cannot be sold at a high price will it be their turn.
Fang Tianlin had several candidates in mind, one of which was naturally the two yamen servants.If they had business minds, it would be easy.He decided to wait a few more days, and if there was still no movement from them, then he would look for the uninvited guests who came to his sons' hundred days.
Three of them have not heard from them since that day, and Fang Tianlin has no contact information for them.On the contrary, the other two sent people to Shen's house once, they didn't send anything valuable, they only brought a name card with them.It's not very useful, you can come to visit with this, and you won't be stopped by the porter, and you can't even get in the door.
Logically, such things should be kept by Father Shen, but after careful consideration, he finally gave them to Fang Tianlin.
Everyone is not stupid, this time the matter can be resolved so easily, it is inseparable from Fang Tianlin.Without his previous deterrence, the village chief would not have treated him so fairly.
Different status and different considerations.The village head is fairly righteous, but that is on the premise that the interests of his class will not be affected.Usually, in order to maintain the status of the parents, as long as it is not excessive, the children are the ones who are sacrificed.This is not just the case in Guangyan Village, but the entire Jing Dynasty, it is the same way, which is conducive to the rule of the upper class.
Seeing that the two elders were physically and mentally exhausted, Fang Tianlin went back to the room and poured two bowls of honey water, and let Shen Jiahe end into the upper room.Space water already has a weak calming effect, and the effect of space water essence will be better.
"Water, father, water..."

"Fifteen cents a catty, what do you think?" The two had discussed the price before, and Zhou Yi reported the amount directly.
"How many do you want? I don't have too many." Fang Tianlin thought for a while, and the price was acceptable. Domestic chickens usually cost ten cents a catty, and Zhou Yi's price was even higher than the price of pheasants.
"There are only ten?" Zhou Yi and Zhang Ting didn't expect this, and their hearts were suspended. If they didn't even have this number, then they would offend others.
Fang Tianlin didn't intend to sell these chickens, but he also understood that it was okay to scare people, but he was not so capable if he really wanted to confront the government.He is not alone, he can't lead the Shen family to flee to the end of the world, and if he can make the yamen guards act with scruples, his goal has been achieved.No, the two yamen came here to buy chickens from him, instead of asking for them directly, and there is a big difference in this.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't intend to sell this chicken at first, so I only sold it to you for the sake of the two of you. You have to save some food." Fang Tianlin paused, and then said, "Father, you first Say hello to the two servants, I'll go catch the chicken."
There is only one room on this side of the woods, which is divided into two rooms inside and outside, the outside room is used as a living room, and the inside room is used for sleeping.After Fang Tianlin left, Zhou Yi and Zhang Ting immediately let out a sigh of relief.This man put a lot of pressure on them. When they saw him, they remembered the scene where Fang Tianlin split an old tree stump with an axe. If the ax fell on a person, how could they survive?
Shen's chickens are all free-range. Thanks to Fang Tianlin's division of the chicken farm into several areas, otherwise it would take a lot of effort just to catch the chickens.
After tying up the ten chickens one by one and putting them into two back baskets, Fang Tianlin thought for a while, then went to pick up another twenty eggs, and wrapped them in straw curtains so as not to break them.
When Fang Tianlin entered the yard, the atmosphere in the room was quite good.
As soon as Shen Jiahe saw his daughter-in-law, he hurried forward with a steelyard.
"Master Zhou, Mr. Zhang, take a good look, don't say I'm ignorant of you." Fang Tianlin brought the chicken to the two yamen, and said in front of them, "29 catties, a total of 430 nine cents. , the change will be wiped off for you, just pay 430 Wen."
After finishing speaking, Fang Tianlin took out another small basket: "There are only so many chickens in this batch. I can't sell you too much, but the eggs are enough. These are freshly laid eggs. They are a little small in size, and the taste is not as good. I want to come here for a while." In a few days, these chickens can produce eggs of normal size. If you eat well, you can come to my house to buy them for three Wen. If you need a large amount, my family can also be responsible for door-to-door delivery. Come over It's not easy, these eggs are considered as travel expenses, no money, just give you free."
When Zhou Yi and Zhang Ting faced Fang Tianlin, they couldn't show the momentum they used to face the villagers. They didn't want to stay longer, and they left after paying the money and getting the goods.Father Shen also knew this, politely asked them to stay, and then sent them out.
"Father, you keep the money. There are so many chickens in the house, and the demand for fodder is increasing. Although our family works harder, we can raise enough food for the winter, but eating alone is easy to be envied by others. Why don't we just spend some money?" Money buys some hay fodder from the villagers, no one will make things difficult for money, right?" Fang Tianlin knows that human nature is too complicated, and when the gap between the two sides is not big, they will be jealous and jealous, and only when the height is too high for others to touch, they Only then will I be envious and admired in my heart, instead of thinking of ways to play tricks behind the scenes and hinder me at any time.
The Shen family has not reached such a point, so it is very necessary to give some benefits.After all, there are only a small number of people who have benefited but don't read well. If the Shen family collapses, they will not be able to do well, and will suffer losses.Bind everyone's interests in the same boat, and they will unconsciously defend the Shen family. If someone in the village wants to do something to the Shen family, these people may be the first to stand up to oppose it.
Seeing that the money he had just received was about to fly out again, Father Shen felt a little bit reluctant.Since last month, the family has been struggling to make ends meet.Especially in the past few days, he had suffered a minor illness due to mental distress, although his situation may not even be considered a disease to the peasant family.The fact is the same, within two days he recovered without medicine, but the money was not less, and the food and drink were better than before, so everyone took him as a sick patient.Coupled with the daily investment of the chicken farm, including him, there is no one in the Shen family who understands the truth and does not worry about it.
People who adhere to Father Shen's idea account for the majority in Jingchao.Not many people dare to borrow money to do business. Only when real money is held in their hands can people feel at ease.Without seeing the real benefits, not many people will try it rashly, even if they are full of tongues and rhetoric.
Fortunately, Father Shen is not an ignorant person, he knows what the third daughter-in-law said is reasonable, and if he can give up a little profit in exchange for the safe development of the Shen family, it is really the most cost-effective.But if he knew it, he knew it, and his heart still throbbed with pain.Although fodder is worthless, if it continues to be like this, it will be a considerable sum if it accumulates over time.
This kind of thing is of course my family's priority, but this time, Father Shen skipped the uncle's family. It is true that after the incident happened a few days ago, the friendship between brothers has faded to the point that it is not as good as strangers. It's all for Grandpa's sake.
There are many types of fodder, and sweet potato vines are one of the best roughages, and the Shen family gave priority to buying this.
Every household in Guangyan Village grows sweet potatoes. It is impossible for Shen's family to take care of all the villagers. Except for relatives and friends, they start to collect sweet potatoes from those who are living in a difficult life. The amount of hundreds of words, those who can't make it, just wait until the next time.
Fang Tianlin never thought of taking care of everything, it's impossible.The water source in Guangyan Village is limited, and the scale of breeding can be expanded in normal years. Now the Shahe River is almost completely dry. If it weren't for the springs coming out of Shen's house, I am afraid that the current scale will not be maintained. Without water, everything will be out of the question.This meant that within a period of time, the Shen family would only be able to benefit some of the villagers.
This is considered good in Guangyan Village. In addition to daily drinking water, there is still a surplus for washing and watering the fields. Some nearby villages have begun to reuse water. Fortunately, the draft has not yet reached such a critical point. Otherwise, this day will really be impossible pass.
After Zhou Yi and Zhang Ting returned home with ten chickens, they packed them and gave them away.Regardless of whether the gift was effective or not, the two became interested in those eggs.
Three papers and two, the price is not low.Of course, this is only for ordinary people. If the eggs are of good quality and sold to wealthy families, it is not uncommon for an egg to sell for five or ten.
The two originally thought of cooperating with the Shen family to sell chickens, but now it seems that this plan is temporarily unworkable, so they settled for the next best thing, selling eggs.As long as these eggs taste better than ordinary eggs as Fang Tianlin said, then the business will be successful.
That night, Zhou Yi and Zhang Ting cooked all the eggs they got in different ways, and let the family members taste them. After confirming that the taste was indeed better than ordinary home-raised eggs, the two decided immediately and spent a few days to treat them A shopkeeper was appointed to take charge of this matter.
Ten chickens were bought all at once, and there were only 35 left in the first batch of chickens. The temperature is not too low now, and the number of eggs laid by the chickens is within the normal range.At the beginning, only a dozen or so eggs could be harvested every day. After all the chickens laid eggs, the number of eggs harvested per day began to stabilize, and basically remained at around [-].
Even though the income and expenditure could not be fully balanced, the Shen family members were all smiling.They saw the hope of making money. In a few months, when the second batch of nearly a thousand chickens grew up, even if it was calculated at two catties each, fifteen yuan a catty, a chicken would be worth thirty yuan, eighty-nine How can a hundred chickens be sold for two to thirty taels, which is not a small profit.
Now the second batch of chickens weighs more than a catty, and they are barely edible. The Shen family is afraid of being thieves, so the four Shenjiahe brothers guard them in two or two rounds at night.
Two hounds were also released into the woods as a warning.For this reason, the Shen family also deliberately left a dog hole in each area to facilitate the entry and exit of two hunting dogs.
Fang Tianlin named the two hounds, one named Zhaocai and the other named Jinbao.He trained them according to the requirements of military dogs, the first one being that unknown food should not be eaten.
The two hounds are not yet fully grown, so it's okay to let them be vigilant, but it's not good enough to catch thieves and assist in hunting.But this is enough, it is not easy for a thief to get into the woods, and the fence with octagonal thorns outside is not for decoration.What are you talking about, if you can't climb the wall, you can dig a hole?It is about attracting wealth and treasure. It is estimated that when someone approaches the fence at night, they will be greeted by barking dogs. How can there be any chance for them to implement this plan?
"My third daughter-in-law, I have saved a lot of eggs at home. It's easy to sell one for one penny, but if you want to sell two for three pennies, you have to think of a way. I'm afraid it won't work at the market. Why don't I take it to the wine shop first?" Said Up to this point, even Father Shen himself was a little unsure.He was well acquainted with the purchase of that restaurant, and when the prey was brought there, the money he gave was not bad, but that was all. It was difficult to sell for more than half the price.
"Father, let's wait and see. The temperature is not high now, and the eggs can be stored for a long time, so we don't have to worry so much." Fang Tianlin always felt that selling his eggs for a penny was too much money.
The restaurant that Father Shen was talking about was related to the Shen family's wild game business. If the negotiation with Caimai broke down, they would have to accept the eggs one by one, which would be a big trouble for the Shen family.After all, although the price the man charged was average, only slightly higher than the market price, it saved the Shen family a lot of trouble.As long as there is a way to buy, they don't have to go to the market to sell their prey.
Therefore, this restaurant will be considered as the last one, and only when the eggs really cannot be sold at a high price will it be their turn.
Fang Tianlin had several candidates in mind, one of which was naturally the two yamen servants.If they had business minds, it would be easy.He decided to wait a few more days, and if there was still no movement from them, then he would look for the uninvited guests who came to his sons' hundred days.
Three of them have not heard from them since that day, and Fang Tianlin has no contact information for them.On the contrary, the other two sent people to Shen's house once, they didn't send anything valuable, they only brought a name card with them.It's not very useful, you can come to visit with this, and you won't be stopped by the porter, and you can't even get in the door.
Logically, such things should be kept by Father Shen, but after careful consideration, he finally gave them to Fang Tianlin.
