Farmers of Shu Han

Chapter 14 It Was Him

Feng Yong naturally did not know that he had been judged as a womanizer, and now he is immersed in the joy of success.

This year's summer farming went well, much faster than in previous years.The success of the Quyuan Plough greatly enhanced Zhao's confidence in the breeding business. As soon as he was busy with summer farming, he began to travel around the surrounding villages and towns to buy chickens and ducks.That's right, the Feng family's breeding business has not yet officially started, but it has already expanded its business to ducks.

Now Feng Yong finally understands why housekeeper Zhao was so horrified when he said he would raise [-] chickens.In this chaotic world, even in Shu, which has suffered the least war, the people who have surplus grain can raise at most four or five chickens. No matter how many you want, it is simply impossible.

Steward Zhao traveled all over the surrounding villages and towns, and only received more than 40 to less than [-] chickens, and there were chickens of all ages from young chickens to old hens.Looking at the roosters and hens of different sizes clucking and clucking in the yard specially cleaned up to raise chickens, and the chicken feathers flying all over the yard, Feng Yong sighed deeply. The goal of improving living conditions is a long way to go!

"Master, there are only so many chickens that can be collected in these four weeks. The old servant will go to the city the next day to see if he can collect more." Try to make up for it.

"No need, Uncle Zhao, let's see which one has ducks. If there are not enough chickens, then even the ducks are raised." Feng Yong is not the kind of unreasonable person. The country can only receive so much. No matter how many you look at it, there can't be many.

However, it seems that duck feathers can be made into down jackets!

These days, there is no heating, and in winter, only fur coats can keep wealthy people warm. Almost, there seems to be no clothes that are very good for shelter from the cold. As for the common people, hehe, it would be nice to have a straw cover.I remember that when I was a child, the hair that fell off from killing chickens and ducks at home was kept for drying, waiting to be collected. The money sold was not small for the farmers at that time, at least the money to buy candy and fruit during the New Years and holidays. Yes there is.

I don't know if this down jacket can be made with the current craftsmanship?
Anyway, it's always a good idea to try.

Thinking of this, Feng Yong became more and more sure of the importance of raising ducks. At this time, he didn't know whether cotton was introduced into China. In front of Feng Yong, he didn't have time to grow cotton to make quilts.

Feng Yong was afraid of the cold. He was originally from the South in his previous life, but due to various reasons, he went to the North when he grew up. Fear of being frozen, even after getting used to it, the cold winter still left a shadow in his heart.

So he suddenly felt that raising ducks was imperative, and the sooner the better!
Feng Yong imagined a winter without heating, suddenly shivered, turned his head and said to the housekeeper seriously: "Uncle Zhao, you still have to work hard on this matter, and then go to collect ducks, the more you collect, the better. "

Butler Zhao nodded in response, looked at the young sister who was busy in the yard, with a little awe in his eyes.

In his opinion, the master's method is simply to use some unknown method to conjure chicken food out of nothing, and it is not much different from the legendary method of turning stone into gold.And Yaomei was able to learn such magic tricks, she is different from ordinary people, no wonder the master wants to teach her to read and write!
Although the chicken raising business encountered unexpected difficulties at the beginning, Feng Yong made a remedy in time.Not getting enough chickens and ducks was not a problem for Feng Yong at all.

The baby from the countryside, don't know anything else, don't even know this?
In fact, most of the chickens and ducks that were killed during the Chinese New Year and festivals in my childhood were raised by myself.The source of chicken and ducklings was not bought from the market at first, but if a neighbor has an old hen in a nest and is ready to hatch chicks, he will say hello to that house, or he will produce his own eggs and call someone else's house. The old hens help to hatch more, or just ask others to hatch more in advance, and then come to the door to get things for the chicks after the chicks come out.

It wasn't until later that I lived up to the concept of broiler-egg chicken, and different chicks appeared on the market.At that time, everyone was no longer short of that money, and it became less and less to ask the old hen to help.

Feng Yong asked Yaomei to pay attention to the condition of the chickens. If she found any old hens with brooding behavior, she would immediately pick them out individually, and then pick out a dozen or so eggs to hatch.Farmers generally raise hens for laying eggs. As soon as they encounter a brood hen, they immediately find a way to wake them up. However, Feng Yong said that there can be more hens in the brood.

Today's chickens are not those laying hens and broilers that have been purposefully cultivated after being improved for countless generations. Basically, after laying a certain number of eggs, they will have brooding behavior. The older the chickens, the more frequent the brooding behavior. Moreover, the hatched chicks can also have old hen belts, so there is no need to worry about it manually.

Of course, the disadvantage is that the egg production efficiency is lower than that of later generations.Feng Yong raised chickens to improve his life, not to sell eggs, so he expressed tolerable for this shortcoming.

In ancient times, people with status or who were particular about their status, as long as they did not achieve an intimate relationship, would have to send a greeting card a few days in advance when visiting other people’s homes, so as to free up time for the host’s family. Performance.

Ordinarily, a small family like Feng Yong should not be exposed to this level for the time being, and he never thought that there would be a day when someone in his family would send a greeting card.Just when he was busy picking eggs these few days, the housekeeper came in with a famous post with a strange look, saying that someone had sent a greeting post.

"Zhao Guang? Zhao Yiwen? This name is really familiar." Feng Yong looked at the famous thorn in his hand, that is, the letter of worship, frowned and thought, "Who is this? Do I know it before?"

Acquaintance is of course acquaintance, isn't Zhao Guang the coachman who chatted up with him that day?But Feng Yong can be sure that it was his first meeting with Zhao Guang, but why does his name give him a familiar feeling?
Surname Zhao?

Feng Yong, a famous person surnamed Zhao in the State of Shu, only knows one, and that is Zhao Yun, who is the only one of the five tiger generals who survives and is known to later generations.

"I ****!" Feng Yong slapped his thigh and swears, "I finally remembered, it turned out to be him!"

As a series of games such as "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms" to "The Seven of the Three Kingdoms", "The Nine of the Three Kingdoms" to "The Twelve of the Three Kingdoms", there are also some pseudo-players of the Three Kingdoms games such as "The Legend of Cao Cao" and "The Legend of Zhao Yun". Fan of the Three Kingdoms, Feng Yong said that the name Zhao Guang did not have too many impressions in his memory.

There is no way, for example, people who have read Romance of the Three Kingdoms know who the Five Tiger Generals are, but most of the people who haven't read it have heard of it, but who are the descendants of the Five Tiger Generals? Not so many people know. .

Although it is said that Feng Yong was also infatuated with the Three Kingdoms, he can only be regarded as a pseudo Three Kingdoms fan.Take Romance of the Three Kingdoms as an example, he will read it carefully, after the Battle of Yiling, he will read it roughly, and after Zhuge Liang's death, he will read it briefly, and he will stop reading it after the Shuhan is destroyed.

That's right, he is a Liu Fan, and most of the Three Kingdoms games only play Liu Beifang's Liu Fan.As for historical books such as the Three Kingdoms, he only picked interesting places to read in order to understand the difference between Romance and historical facts, so he can only roughly know the relatively large historical events and time of the environment he is in today.

People like Zhao Guang who don't have much ink in history and don't have many outstanding characters in history, he generally doesn't have much impression. The reason why he can remember that he is a descendant of Zhao Yun is entirely because of a later game company.This company treats games as movies, and often bounces tickets. "Blizzard's products must be high-quality products" is its slogan, and one of them is called "The Frozen Throne".

Well, of course, that game is indeed a boutique game. Feng Yong also had a black civil war with his classmates back then.In this game, there is a map called "Guarding the Sword Pavilion", which has survived for ten years.Feng Yong played this map ten years ago. Ten years later, Feng Yong crossed over. There are still a large number of people playing this map on the Internet. You can imagine its charm. Well, it's far away. In the picture "Guarding the Sword Pavilion", there is a character named Zhao Guang, and his introduction is the son of Zhao Yun.
