The Pastoral Residence of the Down and Out Young Master

The state capital was fully closed for a month before it began to open, but carriages were still not allowed to enter and exit. During this period, Mo Mo and Shi Shi came back once, but it was inconvenient to go back and forth, so they lived in the shop for the time being.

After the state capital was partially opened, Zhao Tian started to squeeze the oil. Ji Xuan was not in good health and couldn't help, so he just watched from the sidelines, so as to save himself from throwing the batch of oil into his hands.

It's just that it's more troublesome to deliver oil to Xiangzi. The bullock cart has to stop when it reaches the city gate, and the oil has to be carried in cans with picks, but at least it can do business.

In March, the land began to thaw, and some hardworking people began to work in the fields.

The newly purchased land of the Zhao family has some alkali. If the alkali is poured out with water, it will waste time and labor.Now the family is short of staff, and the family spent a lot of money a while ago, and there is no extra money to hire people.

Especially Ji Xuan and Feng Ming are still injured, and the remaining money has to buy supplements for them.

There is no way to irrigate alkali in the field, and now we can only plant some alkali-resistant crops first.

There are quite a few alkali-resistant crops in the north, but sweet sorghum is the one with good returns. Sweet sorghum not only has a high yield, but the most important thing is that it is the raw material for wine making.

The wheat planted in the field opened last year was about to ripen, and Mo Ji became angry when he saw the half-acre of wheat, and half of the good crops were gnawed.

Because the family is short of money now, Zhao Tianna does not dare to delay oil extraction, plowing, irrigation, and fertilization.

Now, apart from the sick one, old man Lu and Mo Ceng, everyone else in the family has to run to the fields.

Moji is now interested in medicinal herbs, so he is not willing to go to the field, "Zhao Tian, ​​look at Ji Xuan and Fengming's injuries, they only need to rest and recuperate. Old man Lu and I plan to return to the state capital in a few days. There are medical books there. There are many medicinal herbs, and it is convenient for me to learn."

It's no wonder that Zhao Tian let him go, "If you don't have enough brains, Ji Xuan also said that Fenghuang took your family property back then. To put it bluntly, if Fenghuang is not supported by your golden mountain, it is impossible to take it. To be more clear, since the current emperor wants to catch Fengming, if you hit him by yourself, maybe you will be caught by the way, don't forget that your appearance has not changed much in these years."

Moji was dumbfounded when he heard it. Why didn't he think of this relationship? His family was so famous back then, and there were not a few people who knew him. Really, the village is still safe!

Ever since he heard Zhao Tian's words, Mo Ji followed everyone to work in the fields every day from dawn to dusk.He also has no choice, if he doesn't behave well, if Zhao Tianyi gets angry, it will be a disaster if he is handed over.

Everyone is used to farm work, plowing land and ox carts, so no one feels tired.Every morning, I come back from the field to eat something and then press the oil again.

Zhao Tian was afraid that everyone would be exhausted, so he would add some meat to every meal to make up for everyone.

At this time, chickens have already started to be sold.

Ordinarily, raising more than a dozen chickens is a good thing, but if the chicken thief can't be caught for a day, the old Zhao's chickens will not be stable, and they can't be raised like rabbits in order to prevent people from stealing them. Chickens in cages, right?

Chickens raised in cages are different from free-range chickens. Once they are raised in cages, they don't like to lay eggs, and they don't grow strong.

Hearing that Zhao Tian wanted to buy chickens, Mo Ji planned to pay for it himself, and then raise the chickens and sell them to his family.But I can't stand this chicken thief is too strong, if someone steals it before selling the money, the loss outweighs the gain.

In the end, Moji gave up his chicken farming business and turned to the cultivation of herbs.

In order to have a single-genre planting land for him and old man Lu, the vegetable field in the courtyard was also occupied.For this matter, he also said a lot of good things to Zhao Tian and took on the job of raising chickens for the family.

Mo Ji has also learned to be smart now, he does not pull the weeds himself when feeding the chickens, he also brings the hay noodles that Zhao Tian prepared for the rabbits, and mixes them with water to feed the chickens.

It would be even better when the grass grew. Zhao Di collected the grass for raising rabbits, and he directly picked some chickens to eat from it.

Zhao Tian didn't say anything about what he did, anyway, Mo Ji spent all the time he saved on herbs and didn't go out to play.

In order to prevent the chicken from being stolen, Mo Ji asked Li Wu to install barbs on the courtyard wall, making a whole layer, to see who would dare to climb over the wall of his house.

Of course, now that the chicken is still young, people will definitely not be concerned about it. When the chicken grows up, the chicken thief must have other ways to come to the door. The most fundamental thing is to catch the talent.
