"Take these small powders. Angora rabbits are very delicate and prone to diarrhea."

"If they have mild diarrhea, mix these powders in rabbit feed to help them stop diarrhea."

"However, you'd better be more careful when mixing rabbit feed."

Lin Zhimin carefully explained to Meng Haisheng how to feed Angora rabbits.

"The rabbit cage for raising rabbits must be clean and ventilated. After the Angora rabbits grow fur, if the rabbit cage is dirty and the long hair cut off is not clean enough, you can't sell it at a high price."

"Okay, I'll go to the town in the next two days to see if I can make a few rabbit cages."

"There are wire mesh for sale in the town market, you can just buy the one I have."

Meng Haisheng nodded seriously. He planned to make two rabbit cages according to the style of the rabbit cage at Lin Zhimin's home.

After a short stay at Lin Zhimin's house, Meng Haisheng took the four Angora rabbits home.

A pair of Angora rabbits cost ten yuan, and Meng Haisheng treated them like treasures.

Before it got dark, he was going to cut some tender grass in the field.

There wasn't much alfalfa on the farmland here, but there was a lot of vines.

He wanted to cut more of this grass, dry it, and crush it into grass powder to feed the rabbits.

Meng Haisheng rode his bike home in a hurry, drank some water, and rode out again.

He was very glad that he had saved money early and bought a bike.

If he had only walked on his two legs, he would not have been able to do much work that day, and he would have collapsed from exhaustion.

The most abundant thing in the farmland in the countryside was all kinds of grass.

Meng Haisheng took a sickle and cut a large bale of grass in a short while, half of which was alfalfa.

"Uncle San, why are you cutting so much grass?"

Lang Tieniu asked Meng Haisheng curiously, holding a katydid cage in his hand.

Lang Tieniu is Lang Chunhua's youngest brother. Ma Jinying gave birth to three daughters in a row before she got this baby. She usually loves him so much that she doesn't let him do farm work.

It's summer vacation now. Most of the children in the village are playing at home. They go up the mountain to catch katydids, go down the river to catch fish, and catch crabs.

Meng Haisheng glanced at Lang Tieniu and the group of 13 or 14-year-old children behind him, and instantly had an idea.

"Tieniu, do you want to make money to buy popsicles?"

Lang Tieniu nodded in agreement when he heard that there were popsicles to eat.

"You help me cut grass and send it to my house. I will buy your grass at one cent per pound."

One cent doesn't sound much, but fresh grass is heavy. You can get more than half a pound with one sickle.

One cent can buy a piece of hard candy, and one dime can buy a popsicle.

So ten kilograms of grass can buy a popsicle.

Cutting grass is not a heavy job for young boys. They can do half the work during the busy farming season.

In this day, it is easy to cut dozens of kilograms without delaying their catching katydids.

That's a lot of money.

Including Lang Tieniu, all children probably don't have a fixed allowance.

Even if you want to buy some snacks, you can only ask the adults at home, and it's hard to say whether they can give it to you.

"Uncle San, it's settled. We'll go cut grass and send it to your house tomorrow morning."

Lang Tieniu looked at Meng Haisheng firmly, like a little adult.

"Okay, I'll take whatever you send me. When you cut grass, give priority to alfalfa and vines. If there's nothing else, it's fine."

"That's easy."

"Also pay attention to safety and be careful with the sickle."

Meng Haisheng couldn't help but give him another reminder.

A group of children ran away laughing. Meng Haisheng thought that now Lin Mucheng didn't have to cut grass to feed the rabbits anymore.

The villagers' poultry feed is basically wheat straw, corn stalks, and sorghum stalks, which are crushed and then added with corn, bean cakes, etc. to feed the poultry.

Meng Haisheng is so particular that he cuts grass on purpose. This is the only one.

Meng Haisheng cut a large bundle of grass and went home when it was getting late.

As soon as he got home, he told Lin Mucheng about asking the children in the village to help with the grass.

"That's fine. I don't have time to cut rabbit grass every day."

The county needs to deliver 270 kilograms and Haiqing Town needs 80 kilograms. Lin Mucheng, Qu Lan, and Wu Lixia are basically busy all day.

"Why don't you find someone to help me earlier? I was thinking of finding someone to help me deliver the salad to the county so that I can save time to dig Bupleurum."

Although Meng Haisheng is capable, he really can't handle it alone.

"If you find someone to help deliver the salad, you have to find someone you can trust. After all, you have to handle the money for the salad.. "

Meng Haisheng nodded slightly.

Although the cold dishes only sell for 40 cents per pound, it is also a considerable income if the quantity is large.

Meng Haisheng was silent for a moment, "Why don't you let Dad go? He is old and can't dig much bupleurum in the mountains. Don't be tired."

"Go and ask Dad if he is willing to help you deliver the cold dishes."

"And you can also ask Dad to deliver the ones in Haiqing Town, so that your eldest brother can also go to dig bupleurum to sell."

It's really better to go to the mountains to dig bupleurum than to make that little money by delivering cold dishes every morning.

"Okay, I'll go and talk to Dad and my eldest brother. "

Actually, Meng Haisheng also knew this truth, but he had already promised Meng Haisheng to help him deliver the cold dishes.

He would not break his promise easily. At most, he would leave earlier every morning.

When Meng Haisheng came to find Meng Guangzhu, Meng Guangzhu had just returned from the mountain.

He was lying on the kang, wearing a dirty vest that he had not changed in time.

"I am really old. I feel so much pain all over my body after doing such a little work. I am really useless."

Meng Guangzhu sighed and pounded his legs. Today, he only dug 60 kilograms of Bupleurum, 20 kilograms less than yesterday.

But he spent a long time wandering around the mountain today.

Meng Guangzhu was really a little overwhelmed by wandering around the mountain all the time.

"Who asked you to work so hard? Your family is not so poor that they can't afford to eat. "

Seeing Meng Guangzhu so tired, Qu Lan quickly rubbed his legs and arms.

"Dad, don't go to the mountain to dig Bupleurum tomorrow, take a rest at home."

Seeing Meng Guangzhu so tired, Meng Haisheng felt a little distressed.

"How can I stay at home? Bupleurum is 1.5 yuan per catty. Can I watch the huge profit fly away from my eyes? I have to climb up the mountain to dig Bupleurum tomorrow."

Meng Haisheng, who had just entered the house, saw Meng Guangzhu lying on the kang with his neck stretched out and shouting.

He couldn't help laughing. His father was such an impatient person. In his opinion, if you don't make money, you are a turtle bastard.

He must make this money, so that he can feel at ease.

"Dad, don't go to the mountain to dig Bupleurum tomorrow. How about I arrange some other work for you."

Meng Haisheng walked into the house with a smile.

"What bad things are you up to, you little brat? "

Seeing Meng Haisheng smiling so brightly, Meng Guangzhu knew that he might have some new ideas.

"My brother and I have to deliver cold dishes every day, which takes up a lot of time to go to the mountains to dig Bupleurum. I thought it would be better for you to deliver the cold dishes."
